STEAMBOAT BURNED.-From the
officers of the steamer Patrick Hen
ry, we learn that yesterday at about
4 o'clock in the afternoon, the steam
er Meteor No. 3, Capt. Amsden,
from Red River for this port, was to-
tally destroyed by fire. The acci-
dent took place when the boat was
in the reach OF the river called the
"LOng View," about fifty.five miles
up the coast.
In addition TO the above, we can
state that the steamer E. d. White,
Capt. Brady, which arrived this NOR
ming, brought down the officers, crew
and passengers OF the steamer Me-
teor No. 3, destroyed by fire yester-
day. The fire originated amongst
the wood and spread aft with great
rapidity. She burnt to the waters
edge, and sunk in deep water. The
passengers all escaped, but lost their
baggage. Three colored boys be-
longing to the boat, viz: the cook,
barber and cabin boy, were lost,
The cargo, consisting of about 200
bales cotton, was all lost.

THE DENGUE.-The Charleston
Banner SAYS that it is stated on the
best authority that not more than
one person in ten in the city OF
Charleston has escaped the dengue
or brake-bone fever. At one time
there were twelve thousand cases
reported as existing in that city.
Though there have been so many
cases, it is not a little remarkable
that there shonld have been none of
fatal termination.
The Mobile Tribune says that in
that city it has prevailed somtime
and pretty generally. 1t has also
prevailed to great extent in Lou
isiana, Florida, Georgia, and South
Carolina; but we have yet TO hear
of the first fatal case Of it.
A very romantic origin is given TO
the disease. Webster's quarto die
tionary quoted from Tully the fol-
lowing account of il: "The disease"
he SAYS, "when it first appeared in
the British West India Islands was
called the dandy fever, from the stiff
ness and constraint which il gave 10
the limbs and body. The Spaniards
Of the neighboring islands mistook
the term for their word dengue, de-
noting prudery, which might as well
express stiffness, and hence the term
dengue became, at least, the name
OF the disease"
The symptoms are said 10 be ex-
actly like those OF yellow fever, and
the Tribune says that some of the
Mobile physicians think it is a mod
ification of that distemper.
