ANOTHER STEAMBOAT DisAsTER.-The follow
ing particulars concerning the destruction Of the
steamboat Marietta on her passage up the Ar
kansas River. which took place OH the morning
of the 25th ut. near S O'Clock, arc from the Lii

The Marietta was preparing to pass swift
place in the cut, off at Mr.. Marsha's plantation,
l3 miles below Pine Bluffs, which she had tried
oncc and failed and Just as she was leaving the
shore, having heated the boilers (Which contained
but little water) to the highest degree, she col
lapsed flue, scattering destruction apparently
thruuuhOut deck and cabin.
She then drilted down few hundred yards,
struck snag and sunk in seven or eight feet
water, some OF the passengers in the meantime
leaping overheard and swimming ashore. There
were about 60 or 10 persons Oh board, l0 or ID
of whom were badly scalded or burned with
steam. Judge Paschall, of Van Buren, Ark. was
among the number of the unfortunate, though 1t

These who remained on board, ascended the
hurricane deck, and were conveyed to the shore
in yawls and hdtboas; the most of the trunks
and baggage in the cabin were saved, and some
OF The freight cn the boiler Deck but most of the
latter, and all that was in the hull, was either
lost or badly injured. Our informant states that
it presented spectacle OF no ordinary character.
