The whole OF the forecastle OF the Louisiana was
covered with vast quantity OF wreck, and it sup
posed some persons buried beneath it-some sixty
seventy persons Immediately sprung on board, and
began in the energetic manner TO clear it away,
and though the boat began to fill rapidly they continued
| to work most jealousy, the bow settling down in the
mud, but the stern being in deep water, Kept sinking
lower and lower, until the boat began slide off, when
the parties had to desist from their generous exerons
and to save themselves they best could There were
twenty or thirty who obliged to swim for their
lives when the wreck slipped off into deep water and
disappeared. If any under this heap OF wreck on
| deck, they all persisted.
We saw two furniture cars containing seventeen dead
| bodies that removed at one time
The Captain OF the Louisiana we learn, is not much
mjured-he first Engineer was not board--the Sc
cond Engineer, who had charge, is killed--Mr. Nc
Michin, the Clerk, and who, understand. was part
owner in his office signing Bills of Ladng and it is
supposed has persisted, together with several young men
from different Counting Houses, who getting her
Bills of Ladng signed.
The Bee, in a postscript says:
From all the information obtained the number OF per-
sons on board the Louisiana was two hundred and eight
and OF these, according to the lowest calculation, no
less than one hundred and fifty must have persisted. -
ne iadles on poafd' comprising some SIX to ten, were
rescued before the boat went down.
The origin OF the explosion is not known Some few
minutes before the disaster Captain Conner stepped be-
low and asked the engineer whether he ready.
The latter answered in the affirmative, and then walk
ed aft Returning, however, almost immediately and
when in the vicinity Of the boiler he sung out to the
mate there's the mischief pay run for your life and
simultaneously they ran towards the stern. The ex-
ploson took place instantaneousy wounding the mate
severely whilst the engineer escaped without injury.
Capt. Conner standing on the boiler deck at the
time, and although blinded for the moment from the
effect OF the steam and heat was last evening in fair
way OF recovery His brother, Mr. E. Connor who
was standing on the wharf in immediate proximity to
the boat sustained injury the explosion passing over
him and several other persons, though injured

turned out in full force yesterday afternoon to receive
the beautiful new flag, presented them by the ladies OF
the city. Mr. Lyons had expected to make the presen-

by Capt Tompkins, who simply added, in appropriate
solderke phrase that the Dragons must prove them
selves devoted to the fair ladies who had presented
them this flag, as patriotic to their country.

had festivel reunion at the Columbian Hotel, where

SINGULAR AND MYsTERIoUs.-The Lake Providence
La Republican tthe 23d ut relates the follow ing sim
guar circumstances
Sometime ago, when the cholera was raging to such
an alarming extent in Parish, a gentleman residing
short distance from Providence determined to remove
his wife to more secure locality, and accordingly sent
her to New Orleans. The husband soon received the
fatal news that the tender partner Of his bosom had
fallen victim to the dreadful pestilence, the city of
New Orleans.
Months, however, rolled by, and me the great physi-
can, assuaged the first violence of grief into pensive
and melancholy remembrance of his departed saint
Soon he formed the acquaintance of another lady, who
attracted his respect by her many fine qualities and
at last woke to life his sluggish and broken heart, by
her quiet and modest preference for him. Suffice it to
say that, about four weeks since they married. and
the clouds of fled from their connubial bowers
About week since the first wife re-appeared, and
flung herself into the OF her husband to the great
dismay OF the new bride.
We have heard many explanations given of reasons
OF her long absence, and many conecures as to the
course the parties will now take. We cannot at pre-
sent state them, as the matter may be investigated

LAMARTINE.

A Paris correspondent of the Courier DIES
Etats Unis, usdfies M. Gaillardets intimation that
Lamartine has become insane, by stating that re-
ports to that effect have circulated everywhere
The continued publication of his paper, the Coun-
sellor of the People, is explained some say, by the
fact that NJ. de Lamartine's insanity is not inces-
SAINT, but that it is momentary, and consists in at
lacks of burning fever.
What has propagated this report Notwithstanding all
the contradictions is, (says the correspondent that M
de Lamartine does not appear at the Assembly and VIII
