STEAMBOAT ExPLosIoN.-Loss # Life! We
learn from the New Orleans papers, that on
the cath ult two of the boilers of the towboat
Persian exploded, killing three of the iremen,
and seriously scading and otherwise njuring a
number Of her officers and crew. The explo-
sion occurred about twenty-miles below the CT
ty, while the towboat was coming up with the
ships Thomas b Wales and Tyran. No in
jury was sustained by those belonging to the
ships, although number of them were aboard
of the towboat at the time of the explosion,
the force of which took direction fore and
aft Eight fircmen were badly scalded, OF
whom a man named Patrick Donahoo, and
two others, names not known, subsequently
died. G.. Crowley, LIST engineer, was badly
scalded; Mr.. Wagner, carpenter, Geo Clinton,
mate and J. Arnold, LIST pilot, were slightly,
and J. Wood, I'd pilot, badly scadcd The
explosion carried away the boiler deck from

From THE BAY OF AEANsAs. The U. S
transport steamboat Monmouth, Capt. Baker
arrived at New Orleans on the 9th ult, from
Arkansas Bay, which she left on the 10th. The
army at Corpus Christi, says the Plcayunc, was
in good health, except that a few cases of dys-
EMERY had occurred. Three hundred Mexi-
cans ventured within so miles Of Corpus Chris
ii a few days since, in pursuit Of body of Ca
manches, which had been committing depreda-
tons on the settlements. The commander of
| the MeXicans being an old acquaintance of
Col. Kinney, sent word to him that he should
have called to see him, but was fearful he
might be censured
ELEcrIoNs IN New YORK. The elections in
the State Of New York take place tomorrow
In the city there are four tickets viz: Wing,
Democratic, Native and Reform. There is
considerable discomfort in the Wing and De-
mocratc pa.ties; but it may be, that the strength
of each will be rallied. The papers of all par
ties hold out encouragement to their friends,
but it is impossible to say who will be success
ful. We hope that the election will be con-
Quoted with fairness and in proper spirit on all
hands, so that, let the result be what it may,
those who gain the victory may be able to boast
that it has been obtained fairly aud honorably.
