1sco Mothers Claiming the Same Child.
Correspondent of the N. Y Times,

4 PANS, April 9Th, 1853.
| We have had lately before one of our
courts reproduction Of the celebrated case
presented to King Solomou-perhaps the
only one since his time-Of two mothers
claiming the same child. The father Of the
child, the only incontestible parent, died q
year ago, leaving behind him as legacy to
the courts the Acknowledgement of the enig-
ma. His name was Dardelle, he was a
butcher, but butcher before the tax, be-:
fore the monopoly even, and had fortune
of four hundred thousand francs. 1t was
this fortune, falling to the child, which
stimulated the maternal love of the two wo-
men. The morals of Dsrdelle..w ere passably
scandalous. His meat quartered and SUBJ
quartsred, he threw down his apron and
bloody knife, aud started for his hair Dress

perfumed he squeezed on q new pair of
gloves, a pair of patent feathers, and went
out to show himself on the promenade. In
| the evening he supped at his "town house.
on the Boulevard Montmarte, Just srithin
the frontier of the fashionable world, and
near the quarter where rents are cheap and
beef dear. He was bachelor but did not
sup alone on that account. His shop re-

Awful Catastrophe.

About quarter to one o'clock last Monday
afternoon sad calamity occurred on the North
river near the foot of Jay street. A small nro-
peller, named the Petrol exploded her boiler and
was blown to atoms Three men lost their lives
while fourth was badly injured The Petrol.
it appears was about 35 or 40 feet long, and
was manned by crew of four persons, namely,
49,, pilot, Henry Brink, engineer; Edward
Downey, fireman, and -, deck hand.
As she was steaming up the river, opposite
Jay street, as already referred to, the engineer
appeared on deck and saluted the engineer of
the steamer Broadway, then lying at her wharf
at the above pier, and just as he was waving his
hankerchiefthe explosion took place. The scene
that ensued is described as being most terrible.
The propeller was blown to pieces, and all who
were on board were killed, with the exception
of the fireman Downcy
The body of the engineer, Henry Brink was
blown fully one hundred feet into the air and in
its descent fell upon the promenade deck of the
steamer Broadway, crushing in the deck with its
weight and forcing its way through to the saloon
below. The body of the unfortunate man was
manged in the most shocking manner; one of his
legs was entirely blown off, while his entrails pro-
truded to the length of several feet.
The only vestiges of the Inflated tow-boat
which remained were some pieces of the exploded
boiler which were blown ashore and landed ON
the Duane street pier. As specimens of boiler
iron these fragments do not compare favorable
with any We have hitherto seen in use being full
of flaws and extremely rotten in appearance.
Not remnant of the propeller W as discovered.
| except few pieces of broken timber. and even
these traces of the Inflated boat soon hoated off
with the tide and were lost to view.
The dreadful effects of the explosion were wit
messed by several hundred persons and the great
est excitement was manifested by the spectators
for the safety ofthe unfortunate crew. Mr.. Law
renee, the clerk of the Broadway, in describing
the scene states that he observed the little pro-
peller going past the pier, and heard the usual
salutation from the steam whistle; he swung
his Inadvertently way of recognition, when she
instantly exploded.
The smoke pipe and fragments of the boat we're
blown in all directions; heard crash near him.
and, on turning his attention that way saw the
dead body ola man. which had fallen through
the deck. At distance, floating in the water.
he discovered the fireman, whom he promptly
rescued, by means of q small boat, and sub
sequently assisted in conveying him to the New
York Hospital
| No cause can be assigned for the explosion.
for the reason that there are none alive who
could throw any light upon the matter The
engineer was killed instantly, also the pilot and
deck hand, whose names are at present unknown ;
so there remains no one to solve the mystery
except the fireman, Downey, and he says he can
not account for the accident at all-New York
/ Herald.

Arrival of Mormons from Utah.

A company of Mormon Elders has arrived in
Missouri from Utah. A letter from one of the
Mormons there, says: "The company with
which travelled consisted oftwenty-nine persons
nine vehicles and twenty-four animals. AT the
time of our leaving Salt Lake City, on the 18th
of September last, all was peace and quiet in
Utah. The wheat crops had been harvested.
and peaches and other fruit were in abundance
The merchant trains had principally all arrived,
goods very high and money plenty l was in
formed by the mail-driEer that passed us, that
Chief Justice EccLEs had left the scene of his
great exploits, and was returning to his home in
the States, having received gentle hint that
his services as Chief Justice of Utah could very
well be dispensed with by the citizens of that
Territory. Quite number of the citizens of
Utah have been employed by the officers of the
army at Camps Scott and Floyd in the erection
of barracks and other preparations for their
Winter campaign. The health of x-GoYernor
You've was good He attends to his business as
usual, and enjoys the full confidence of the resi-
dents of that Territory. Governor CUMMING is
highly respected as the Chief Magistrate. and
has proved himself thus far to be an honorable
and high-minded man. Judge ST CLAIR and
Indian Agent DODGE had arrived few DAYS
previous to our leaving. We met Colonel
MORRIS company of infantry on the " Big Noun
TAIN" en- route for camp Floyd, in Cedar Valley.
We met also "a Danish company of Mormons at
the head of Echo Cannon, that had emigrated
from Denmark this season; also Judge APPLE
BY's company, on the oath of September, at the
Three Crossings of Sweet Water, all we'll We
met thirteen hundred wagons, belonging to
different individuals, freighted with provisions
and clothing for the army, each wagon drawn by
eight yoke of cattle, averaging sixty hundred
weight to the wagon.
We passed many camps of Sioux and Chey-
enne Indians, all of whom were friendly They
had burnt the prairies for several hundred miles.
which rendered feed scarce in some places; our
animals, however, did well, and we performed
the journey in thirty three travelling days, which,
at this season of the year, is considered quick

Sad Accident.

A sad accident occurred at New Village in
Warren Co., on Friday last, by the premature
discharge of cannon which was loaded indis-
criminately with nails spikes, &c, by which a
young blacksmith by the name of Lewis Selden,
aged about twenty three years, had his arm and
hand so horribly mangled as to cause amputation
necessary Several others were injured, altho'
not seriously The amputation of Mr.. Selden's
arm was performed by Drs Hulshizer & Field,
and the other wounded are under the care of DR..
Huishizer, who lives short distance from the
scene of the accident.
