Another Terrible Explosion.

CINCINNATI, Jan. II, IS4S
The steamer Blue Bird burst her boiler near
Galliopolis, Ohio, on Saturday night last, about
one o'clock, in the midst Of snow storm. The
lower deck sunk Immediately. There were
about rs passengers on board; 20 lives were lost
There were six ladies on board, only one of
whom was lost. The pilot was thrown on tho
shore, distance of near one hundred yards, and
escaped with slight bruise. The passengers,
who were in bed at the time of the explosion,
lost all their baggage and clothing except their
sleeping apparel. Before relieved, the cabin
floated eight miles down the river. The passen-
gers were mostly from Kanawha and Galliopolis.
The cause of the explosion undoubtedly arose
from the defective character of the boilers.
which had been in use nine years.

New YORK CANALs-We give our readers, to-
day, the highly important report, for last year,
the canals of this State. This document pre-
sents one of the most successful systems of en-
terprise that was ever attempted, or ever sue
ceeded, in any country. The annual revenue of
the canals now reaches nearly three millions of
dollars. With such an income, it is probable the
whole debt of the State will be liqudated in ten
or fifteen years, or less; for il is most likely that
the revenue will increase, perhaps not so fast as
it has, but it will increase every succeeding
year. The State stocks Of New York are the
best in the world,
