Steamer Lost.-John Perry, the &ea-

small craft of the same name which may
be described as follows Length of keel,

uipe, two links of passengers, quart OF
mush and moIasses, quarter section of
gingerbread and a pint of whisky; diam
eter of cylinder, . inches--stroke, z, and
one hog power. This interesting boat,
from having on too much steam last night,
for the strength Of the machinery, became
unmanageable, and was consequently run
aground on Water street, and shortly after
wards cruelty snagged on a curbstone
and is considered total loss. The

what they could OF the unfortunate vessel
and succeeded in making abou, SIS in the
