From the ". O. Bulletin, Nor. l6.
Tae boilers orthe steamer Louisiana, Capt

nearly opposite Gravier street, spreading death
w ewrite il is impossible to ascertain the number
of lives lost. The reports range from so 10 l3C
though we hope this will prove 10 be exaggerat-
ed. Ons of the officers Of the boat stated to lis
that there were about SO cabin passengers on
bosad; but as all the cabins aft the wheel-hoIse
was unirjured, we hope many Of them were
saved. One gentleman Informed us that he as
sisted seine ten or twelve, mostly ladies', from
the wreck. Accounts differ from the number OF
persons on the boiler-deck and forecastle at the
time Of the explosion. The boat was aboni start.
ling to st. LOUIS aud had ring her last bell, but
was 20 haul alongside an emigTant vessel 10 take
on board 200 deck passengers; but for which
they would also have been involved in the dread
Iful calamity.
The Bosima has her upper works greatly
shattered. Capt. Dustin. her commander, it is
feared will not recover his injuries.
The steamer Storm W: styling M the l"w-
|er side and was injured more than the Bos-
|tona, and several persons were killed on
board ofher. She had just arrived and had
not made her lines fast when the expulsion
occurred. Fortunately she had no passen-
gers on board.
The force Of the explosion was appalling
The glass was scattered on the front levee
at a distance of one thousand feet from the
boat, and the shock was felt OF the farthesi
extremity ofthe city.
The forecastle Of the Louisiana sank in
the mud, hut the stern, being in deep wa.
ter, sank down gradually and caused the
bow to slide of with it. The persons whn
escaped and were relieving the sufferers,
had to desist in order to save themselves.
There were some twenty or thirty who were
obliged to swim for their lives when the
whole wreck slipped into deep water and
disappeared.
