Steamboats,.

SECRETARY, plying between Petaluma
and San Francisco, exploded her boiler
last Friday, near the brothers and Sis
ters," twelve miles from San Francisco,
while racing with the steamer Neuada.-
The scene is reported as indescribable-
whole bodies and trunkless limbs were
scattered in every direction. The force
of the explosion rent the boat to pieces,
and some persons who were not hurt by
the hot steam drowned. One man, Mr..
Cookingham was blown distance forty
feet into the water. So completely was
the demolition of the boat that an hour
after the explosion not a vestige of the
wreck could be seen. But one body was
recovered-that of Mrs. Cecilia Clark,
which was taken to San Francisco and a
jury of inquest held upon it. The verdict
was that her death was caused by reck-
lessness of owners and officers of the boat,
and recommended that the District Attor-
ney institute legal proceedings against
them Immediately By this unfortunate
catastrophe thirteen valuable lives are
lost; five persons are missing-supposed
dead; and twenty-five more or less injured.
Only nine of all On board escaped unin-
jured
1t grieves us sincerely to record these
sad casualties, that send so many human
beings suddenly and unaneled, with all
their sins and imperfections On their head,
to answer finally and receive their doom
from the great Judge of all. accidents of
this nature. when traced to the cause,
almost invariably prove the result of gross
negligence or carelessness; and it behooves
those whose duty it is to examine boilers,
to use the most strenuous efforts to prevent
u recurrence Of them; and when criminali-
ty can be fastened on any individual, be
he captain, engineer or scullion, the
utmost severity of law should be meted
out to him. A few examples are necessary
to check this system of wholesale murder.
GAzELLE.-Willamettc Falls Cos new
steamer, exploded her boiler on the Sth
inst, at Canemah, above the falls, Oregon;
blowing the boat to atoms and killing
twenty persons besides wounding many
others. Among the killed was Mr..

his whole family about year ago by the
explosion of the Jenny Lind, near the
