We learn that the steamship Galveston, Captain
Crane, which left this port for Chagres on the 15tl
ut. met with so serious an accident that she wa.
unable to proceed upon her voyage, and was com
PEELED to put into Belize.
The following, concerning the affair, we find in

As our readers are already aware, the u. S. mai
steamer Galveston, Captain Crane, from New Or
leans to Chagres, with 1872 passengers for Califor
mia, arrived at Kay Bokel on Wednesday last, in q
damaged condition. On Friday afternoon we pro-
ceeded, in company with C.. Hampstead, u. S
Consul, to the steamer and reached her on Satur
day morning, Oh her way up to town. Soon after
A. w. Cox, in the schooner Dart, arrived alongside
and took her in tow, and having fair wind, at
P. NJ, The Galveston came to anchor in the harbor
1t appears the vessel was within about $50 miles oil
her destination at the time the accident which dis
abed her occurred, and Capt Crane, after consult
ing his passengers, resolved on making this port.
We give below short journal of the proceedings
on board the vessel from her time of her leaving
New Orleans, up to her arrival here, together with
a list of her passengers.
We understand it is the intention of most of the
passengers to proceed hence in vessels to Chagres
which are now being chartered for that purpose.
