Or The weather for the last three days has been
of the very worst description. We have had almost
constant rain, accompanied by frequent changes in
the temperature and with streets covered with
diluted filth, New Orleans may, for the time being,
be considered beyond even the purifying powers Of
the seven additional Commissaries granted by the
Second Municipality Council to its constituents to
check the progress of the epidemic. The wind last
night chopped round TO the North and became
cold with some indications above Of clear weather.

MORE GoLD-NelD Merico.-Col. Emory Of the
Typographical Engineers, in his report of the expe
dition westward from the mountains Of New Mex
leo, along the course Of the river ella, speaks Of
having met with gold at several points on his route
The following in relation to the river PrietO, which
empties into the ella, is interesting, and important
if true As the story goes, the Prieto comes
down from the mountains freighted with gold. Its
sands are said to be full of this precious metal. A
few adventures who assembled this river, hunting
beaver, washed the sands at night, when they
halted, and were richly rewarded for their trouble
Tempted by their success, they made second trip
and were attacked and most of them killed by the
Indians. My authority for this statement is Lam
dreau, who, though an illiterate man, is truthful "

The following abstract Of items from the Irish
nanes received by the Niagara opens fully to view
the horrid condiOn of the people Of that country:
CIearances for non-payment Of rent seem to be
decmating the unhappy Irish, whom famine has
spared. In the Skibbereen Union Sc persons were
elected. Near Carrick-on-Suir on the I'D. 10
families, consisting of over so persons, were eeced,
for non-payment Of rent, and eight houses eveieo.
At Ballygrane poor man, almost starving, Went
into potato field to pick up few potatoes, when
he was set upon by two men, who beat him most
numerically, and then set two large dogs upon
him. Faint hopes were entertained of his recovery
A clergyman in Leitrim was receiving outdoor re-
lief: two other gentlemen, one captain OF militia,
and the other having enjoyed property OF LOU
per annum, were reduced to pauperism. These are
only scattered instances Of the misery that has set
tied, like dense cloud, over unhappy Ireland.
The Irish correspondence of the Courier and En-
quirer says the great mass of the people who have
taken the Temperance pledge have broken il, seek
ing to drown their miseries in drunkenness. The
so-styled gentry and the clergy are endeayorng 10
arrest the fall Of the people into the abyss of intern
perance, but in vain. Desolation surrounds them,
hunger is gnawing, and ferocious tyranny is feed
ing to repetion. Few will commiserate the fate of
the clergyman who was receiving outdoor relief,
or the captain of militia, or the gentleman who has
been enjoying property of f6OO a year being
reduced to pauperism." When those stood forth
who were prepared 10 liberate the country from the
evils of foreign government and plundering
arisiocracy, these same clergymen, militiamen and
gentlemen thwarted the popular impulse, or raised
the arm beside the yrant crush the aspirations Of
groaning nation. 1t is meet they should share
the agonies they have so zealously aided in per-
petuatilQ.

STEAMBOAT DIsAsTER-The Anaerican.-We
learn from the Louisville Courier of the 2lst that
the steamer American, Capt. Rockwell, burst her
connecting pipes Tuesday night about Is miles be-
low Madison, by which accident ten persons were
very severely scalded. 1t is feared that two or
three will die. The boat was on her downward
trip to Louisville She had landed atthe Kentucky
side of the river about 8 o'clock, and had taken
two negro men passengers to Louisville. The ex-
plosion took place as the boat was rounding out
from the shore. The steam-pipe burst, together
with both Of the connection pipes The force Of
the steam tore the cabin floor loose, and the cabin
was Immediately filed with it. No one on the
deck was injured at all. All in the Social Hall
and cabin were more or less scaded. The follow
ing persons were seriously hurt: I. M. Meeker, of
indianapolis, the second clerk dangerously scalded,
and received several Commissions. Samuel Price,
first engineer, was badly scaIded. He was asleep
in his room. H. Rockwell, first clerk, scalded,
and much hurt in endeavoring to get out OF the
Office, which was shut. He jumped through the
glass of the outer door. The two negro men, one
OF whom was named Tom, were in the social hall
directly over the place of the explosion. They
were terribly scalded with but slight hopes enter
tanned Of their recovery. Several Others, including
the stewards, and one or two passengers, were
slightly scalded. The captain at the time of the
explosion was standing in the hall talking to the
second clerk yet, strange to say, he escaped unln-
iured. The second clerk was not only very badly
sealded, but was knocked down by some substance
that hit him. The American had recently been
purchased for the Wabash trade, and was in
charge of Capt. Rockwell. No blame can be
attached to the officers Of the boat for this unfortu-
nate accident. The boilers are entirely unlnJuFed
