TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT DIsAsTER.-The N.
York papers contain the accounts Of most
hear:-rending causalisy. which particulars we
condeDse for our columns. The steamboa;
Swallow. having on board about $50 passen-
gers, left Albany on the evening of the 7'h, for
New York. When opposite Hudson, near A.
,hens. she struck rock, and broke her back
ius,an,ly-each end partially sinking.
All was CONSERVATION on board, many OF the
ladies were for jumping overheard in efforts TO
reach the rock, or TO save themselves 10 any
way. The gentlemen whose minds were
moe cool, endeavo:ed TO prevent any OF The
ladies' leaving the boat, considering all most
safe in clinging to the wreck.
What rendered the scene moro appalling.
was the total darkness Of the nighi--'he water
coming up to the hurricane deck, and the la
dies being drawn up through the sky'ligh's
drenched in water. BY this time the heeing
of the boat brought the fire of the furnaces 10
con,ac, with the wood. and lurid fame burst
forth. lighting up at once. and adding TO The
horrors OF the scene-surrounded by fire and
water, every effort was made BY each person
10 provide for their own saie,y-terror seemed
TO be at its highest when the boa, broke in two
both ends sinking to the hurricane deck,
quenched the fire and left all in the dark.
Al this critical moment the STEAMBOATS, Ex-
press and Rochester came up, and immediate
y got on, all their boats, 10 pick up those who
were in the water, and save the residue who
were clinging TO the wreck-of these The
Rochester took on board $50, and The Express
SO. Many were said, however. 10 have reach
ed Hudson aud Athens. as boats were prompt
y despatched from both places.
Ills impossible TO know how many were lost
or saved-ihe lis, was desiroyed-so that a
long time mus, elspse before the extent Of the
calamity can be known. Almost all the bag
gage was lost. Some Of which may be here
after recovered.
Seven dead bodies were taken from the
wreck on the 6th. and il was supposed that
there were from 80 10 40 lives lost altogether.
The boat is total wreck--no insurance.
.4n extra from the Ha,Ison Republican, dated
the 9th, gives the result of ths search or oodies-
Five we've found, making elessn IL all; OF these,
four were taken from the boat, aud one down the
river a short distance below the wreck. In the
