One of the most melancholy and heart rcnding
calamites with which we have been visited for
many years, took place yesterday afternoon. about
'hree o'clock A new steamboat, called the Medo.
ra' recently built for the Virginia and Maryland
steam Navigation Company, intended to run be-
tween this city and Norfolk, was about TO be tried
previous to entering upon her regular trims. Accsrd-
lngly three O'Clock was designated as the hour at
which she was to start on a short pleasure excursion
down the rver. intending 10 proceed as far as Nor,b
Point, and return the same evening. Manu- ne,sors
had been invited TO participate in the excursion. ond
when steam was put on the unfortunate boat here
were probably in all one huadred and fifty souls ON
board. Scarcely had the wheels made one revo,u.

ing the steam pipe, fragments Of the boat, engine,
and bodies Of men, high up into the air; making tn,
boat an entire wreck, so that she sank in sever OF
eight minutes afterwards. Some OF the unfortunat,
passengers were forced nearly one hundred feet int,
the air, when they fell into the water, and, Il an,
HE was left, were drowned. Oilers were thrown
'ntirely upon the shore, and killed by the concus

the awfulness Of the scene, but it was truly heart
sinking, and such as l desire not TO witness again.
The groans of the wounded and dying were chilling
to the stoutest heart and strongest nerve. D.,
| give the following names OF those killed and
wounded and yet missing, so tar as ascertained -

George Classy, William Roberts, James Clark, Al,
bert Ramsey and George Casey, machlnlsts and
workmen about the boat, were slightly injured,
thrown hr by the explosion on board another boat, a
considerable distance, and not injured. Several per-
sons are still missing, and there are many others
slightly lniu red, whose names have been unable 10

tanned. The Mayor has advertised for one hundred
men to repair to the wreck this morning for the pur-
pose of clearing away the rubbish and finding, if
possible, those who are missing.
Thus have l gone through, as briefly as possible,

many years, and related the most painful clrcum-
slaucesl it has ever been nv fate TO witness.
The cause of the accident 10 yet unexplained
Some are of opinion that there was a slight fault
with the machinery but the most probable presump-
