16r A serious and fatal accident oc
Cured on board the steamer Bay State,
on her trip from New York, Friday
evening last. 1t was caused by the
breaking of The walking beam, mass
OF iron weighing twelve or fourteen tons,
and before the engine could be stopped +,
the end attached to the crank crushed
its way through and grinding to powder
some Of the largest timbers in the boat
and completely demolishing the stairs
leading up TO the saloon; all of which
work Of destruction was the work of an
Instant, and at the same time the piston,
having no longer the resistance of the
crank, was driven through the top OF
the cylinder, destroying everything in
Its way and filling that part of tho saloon
with steam. A little girl, about twelve
years Of age, was looking through the
plate glass, watching the machinery, and
when the accident happened she was en-
velcpcd in steam, aud was almost in
stlutly killed. Two other passengers
were also scald,d, one seriously, but at
last accounts both were doing we'll.

The Election, in this town, on Tues.
day, passed off very quietly, although
considerable strife was made by all par
ties to poll as large a vote as possible.
The great question which has agitated
the people of this Union for several
months" Who is to be President ?"
has been settled, and James Buchanan,
is probably the man, although we do not
consider it absolutely certain The vote
in this town, for Presidential Electors
was made as follows: Republican, 294
Democrat, SO; Fillmore, 80.
The following is generally conceded,
by the city papers, to be the result, al
though Indiana is considered by some
as doubtful
