Explosion AND Loss OF LIFE.-An acct
dent occurred Thursday morning between
nine and ten O'Clock, in Smithfeld, at the
Manchester Print Works, operated by Messrs.
Brown, Dean, & McCready of this city, by
the explosion of a steam boiler, which caused
the destruction of considerable property, the
instant death of two men, and severely, but
it is hoped not fatally. injurlng third. The
names of the men killed were Patrick Clarke
and David Stewart. The first was laborer,
about twenty years old, and was not connect
ed with the establishment. The other was
the fireman, about forty years old, and was
on the boiler at the time of the explosion.
His body was blown in three pieces, one of
them passing over the roof of the main build
ing, and falling in an adjoining field, some
two hundred feet from the boiler house. He
leaves widow and-tive children. The man
who is badly injured is named Michael Raw
snagh. He was scalded almost from head to
foot. A man named Dewhurst had his arm
broken.
The boiler house was completely destroyed.
There were in it twelve boilers, and under
the two blown up, fire was made for the first
time yesterday since the establishment has
been in the occupancy of the present lessees.
The only other buildings which were serious
ly damaged, were the dye house and the kier
house. One of the large chimneys is SO shat
tered as probably to require rebuilding. The
loss of property. is estimated at from three to
five thousand dollars, which falls on the
owner, as the insurance policies cover only
loss by fire. The goods in process of manu-
facture were not injured. The explosion was
undoubtedly caused by the want of water in
the boilers. One of the " Low Water Detec-
tives" would have prevented this accident,
and saved valuable lives.
A similar explosion took place at these
works on the 25th of October, 1858. There
were then two lives lost, and much larger
amount of property than now, reaching some
$4,000 on the buildings and fixtures alone.
On the 2lst of December, 1854, the whole
establishment was destroyed by fire, invov-
ing a loss of more than 100000. 1t was
then rebuilt Providence Journal, 9th.

Poydras College.

The first annual determination atPoydras
College silice it has been under the ad.
ministration of DR.. Jackson, it's present
energetic and able President, took place
on last Monday and Tuesday. The at
tendance during the first day was rather
small, on account Of the rain, which
came down in such quantities that one
might have supposed the lood-gates OF
the upper, had been opened for the pur'
pose of submcrging this portion Of the
lower regions, g
Tuesday dawncd more propitiousIy
for visitors, and relations and friends
were seer vending their way over the
muddy roads, to be. present at least on
the last day of the examination. AT an
carly hour the exercises recommended,
and the classcsswcre examined intheir
regular order by DIR. Jackson and his
able and gentlcmanly assistants, Messrs.
Irrelevant and Didier; and we'll did the
young cellegians acqnit themselves.
The French classes attracted partlcu-
lar attention; we heard many boys read
ing and translating French huentIy, who
q few months since scarcely knew a
word Of the language. If they continue
to. make such progress, in a year or two
they will speak the language perfectly.
The examination terminated late in
the day, and by early candle light the
sound of music was heard undulating
through the hall, and the young collegi-
ans were seen leading: their partners to
the danceA the invited guests partici-
pating in the amusement. "All went
merry as a marriage BELL" until the an
%nouncemcnt Of supper, which passed as
usual in eating, drinking, toastingg, &C.,
after which the dancing; was resumed,
and continued until a late hour, when
the guests departed, taking with them
bright hopes for the future of Poydras
College.

TIE Associate Judgeship--W What the Pa

We notice in the Pointe Coupee Dem
ocrat, the Hon. Cyrus RatliH, Judge at

Rouge Advocate, the Hon. john McFea,
of the Clinton bar, spoken OF III connec-
ton with the Associate Judgeslip. The
gentlemen composing the ban OF the
Seventh Judicial District, both as law
yers and citizens, are justly entitled for
their own merits, to public confidence
and support-tlat they have the good
opinions of the public is evidenced by
tie fact, that notwithstanding the Chief
Justice Of Louisiana is chosen from the
bar Of Clinton, another member thereof
and the Judge incumbent, are spoken Of
by other portions of this Associate Dis
trict to fill Justice VOORHEES, place.
The names of Judge VOORHEES,, a o
Of the present Associate Justice, Judge
Overton, Of St. Landry, and Jules G..
Olivier, of st. Mary, are also presented:
For ourselves, we shall rest content,
and without urging the claims Of any
one, rely upon the Democratic conven-
ton to nominate1a proper candidate, and
upon this parish, at the proper time, to
move in the matter of representation in
the conventions. Eel. Dem.
Hon. JONI McVEA.-In our announce

Several days ago., a communication APP
peared in the Baton Rouge Advocate,

compliment. We have known Mr. Nc

that we have never known a mor con-
sistent Democrat or a more straight for
ward, honest gcntleman-and, as forhis
legal abilities, those capable Of Judging
say that he has not his superior, as Il
Judge Of law, in the District; this being
the case, he ON squarely up to the

Democracy of the "old wheel-horse" is
undoubted. His decisions on the Bench
