The explosion Of the Steamer Red
stone, noticed in another place had
lately commenced running between
Cincinnati and Madison as an inds-
pehdent evening passenger boat
She left Madison on Saturday, at
IL NJ, and the only landing she
made before the explosion was at
Carrolton.
There were but two lady pasSen-
gers on board, both Of whom, and
the cabin maid, were saved, and but
slightly injured. Among the killed
are the Rev. Mr.. Scott, Mr.. Goble,
editor Lawrenceburg Press, and Mr..
Myers, foreman in the same office.
The awful force Of the explosion
can be conceived from the fact that a
large piece Of one Of the boilers was
blown half mile, lacking 5 or 6
yards, from the wreck Eleven
bodies were blown into cornield at
some distance from the water
Among them, those Of first and third
engineers.

SENTENcED.-Nancy Ferrar, found
guilty Of murder some time since for
poisoning the Forrest family. has
been sentenced to be hung on the
5th Of June next. The Cincinnati
Enquirer Of Sunday contains the
following notice Of this miserable
woman;
Nancy FERRAR.--We learn from
the jailor, Mr.. Floyd, that this un-
fortunate woman has confessed that
she committed the murder for which
she was tried, but is very sorry for il.
She clings to the hope that the Gov
ernor will pardon her, and hopes
that her friends will use all their in.
fuence in her behalf. She has been
visited, since her sentence, by large
number Of women, some, no doubt,
to satisfy their curiosity, others to
sympathise with her in her affliction,
and to advise her to prepare TO meet
her God, before whom she will soon
have to appear, should the dreadful
sentence OF the law be ful6lIed.-
We understand that petitions for
Executive clemency are in circula-
ton for signatures, but with what
success we have not been able to
learn. There was a rumor in town,
a short time ago, that the Governor
had been spoken to on the subject,
and that he had refused any interfer-
ence, deeming it advisable TO let the
law take its course.
