Another Terrible stoa mbOot Explosion.

Another Terrible SteH mbOat Explosion
New Orleans has again been visited with one of
those terrible steamboat explosions, which so fire.
ouently occur on the river, and general gloom per-
vades the city. Thenew low pressure steam towboat
Anglo-N Norman, which had been built entirely in
New Orleans, under the superintendent of her
able commander, Captain Reinhardt and recently
placed in the trade, left wharf about II o'clock
yesterday, on pleasure excursion up the river,
with large party of invited guests on board.
Among them were a large number of our principal
merchants and ship owners, and several gentlemen
from the North. Including the crew, there are
supposed to have been about one hundred persons
on board.
Much pleasure was anticipated on the trip, and
all was gaiety The noble boat moved along like
a thing of life, and little did any one, among the
gay throng which it carried, dream that many of
them were destined never to return from that eXcur
sion. The boat proceeded up the river some thirty
or forty miles, and then turned again towards the
city. At a little past two o'clock, dinner was
announced, and the party set down 10 table per-
ectly loaded with every thing the heart could wish,
in the way of edibles and fluids. Several ladies',
including Mrs. Junus Beebe, were present, and
pleasure and good feeling regned supreme.

it was announced by Capt. Reinhardt that piece of
poetry written for the occasion, would he read by
The author. This drew the attention of many, who
left the boier-deCk and returned to the cabin, and
but for this the loss of life would have been much
greater.

that MANY who were on board, will never be found.
Among the missing, and supposed to have been
killed as he was seen going into the air amid frap
ments of the deck is Mr. Junius Beebe. one of our
Oldest and most enterprising citizens. His lady.
as we have before stated, was on board, together
with her two children, and no one can imagine the
anguish with which she gazed about when all was
over in search of that husband and father She
saw him not however, and we fear, will never be-
hold him again.
The following is list of the killed. wounded,
and missing, as far as could learn. As matter
of course, there will be many errors, which we
shall correct hereafter: Charles Perry local re-
