The propeller Oregon left this city early yester-
day morning for the st. Clair River, carrying ir
addition to her own crew, the crews of the brig
N. NJ. Standard and schooner Flying Cloud, which
vessel w:ntered above. The total number of per-
sons on board was twenty-five. At about fifteen
minutes before O'Clock, when near the head OF
Belle Isle, and close to the Canada shore, her
boiler exploded with tremendous noise, scatter
ing death and destruction all around The af-
ter part of the vessel was blown completely off,
and sank almost instantancously. Nine men
were killed Immediately, and several others were
wounded some quite seriously. Those of the crew
saved, chung to the bow of the vessel, and were
taken off by small boats.
The Oregon was commanded by Capt. John
Stewart, who was leaning against the pilot-house
when the explosion occurred. He was hurled
high up in the air. and as he dccended fell through
the deck-breaking one of his legs, and bruising
his body considerably. Capt. Glazier, of the
brig Standard, was also leaning against the pilot
house at the time, and was thrown some distance
but escaped with sprained ankle and wrist.

Funeral CT the CZar.

The funeral of the Emperor took plac, yester-
day. At daybreak, an extraordinary movement
was observable in the capital-people fastening
to secure places to witness the procession. In
some houses which were well situated, windows
were let for much as 100 rOublCs (thc rouble
is something over 4f.) At nine O'Clock in the
morning, the first savo of artillery, fired from
the citadel of st. Petersburg, intiinated to the
public that the ceremony was about to commence.
At ten O'Clock, another salvo was fired to announce
that the cortege was to form itself in the order
affixed by Count Gurjew, President of the Com
mission for the funeral and at eleven O'Clock
the grand funerel cortegc had commenced
its mlrch. | cannot describe to you the anxiety
Of the people to render the last homage to him
whom they were accustomed to consider as dcmi-
god, as, at later period, charged by the Divinity
to combat for the holy orthodox religion and holy
Russia. Everywhere, rs the body passed, the
spectators made the sign of the cross, and most
Of them, when they knclt down, touched the earth
with their forehead, weeping bitterly.
At the different churches the procession halted,
and the various ranks of the clregy paid homage
to the ashes of the chief of the orthodox Russian
church. Prayers for divine mercy to the soul Of
the deceased were offered up in every place of
worship, and Nicholas himself was called on rs
chief OF the church to address prayers to God to
give force to Russia to combat with success for
the rights of her territory. Cannon continued to
fire until the coffin reached the Cathedral of Paul
uuu 1ctcrs lHe 6eTVlCO LOT tue UcuO OF the OrC-
co-Russian Church was then celebrated, and sal
vos, fired by the troops, announced the end of the
ceremony. The evening was far advanced before
the crowds Of people who assembled to witness
the ceremony ceased to fill the streets. In addi-
ton to the thunder of artillery, the roll Of the
mufled drums, and the sound Of military music
playing funeral marches, was to be heard.
The death of the Gear has produced certain
degree of agitation, which our government, auto
cratic as it is, has not been able to prevent. The
ceremony displayed character Of magnifcencc
and grandeur worthy Of the deceased Car. Ev-
crything passed off in good order.
