DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

Explosion Of the Steamer Magnolia and
Loss Of Life!!
The Steamer Magnolia, plying between
Fayetteville ard Wilmington, met with a
fearful accident on the night of the 10th
instant, by the explosion of her boiler.
We gather the following particulars from
the Wilmington Herald:
The Magnolia, Capt. John NJ. Stedman,
left her wharf in this place for Fayetteville,
about half past 2 o'clock on Tuesday last
Everything went on pleasantly until her
arrival at White Hall, in Bladen County,
40 miles from Wilmington, at 10 O'Clock.
that night, when the boat was stopped for
the purpose of effecting the landing of a
passenger, and for the discharge of freight.
She had landed a small quantity of freight,
and as the only passenger stopping at that
place, (Dr. Fellows,) was about to step
ashore the boiler exploded with tremend-
Gus crash. making almost a complete wreck
of the boat, and scattering death and
destruction around. The dead as far as
ascertained, among the whites are, Capt.
Stedman. DIR. Fellows, Mr.. Tyson, a lady,
and a boy about years old, names un-
known; and Simon the cook Charles the pilot
and three other negroes. The wounded
are T. s. Lutterloh, of Fay etteville, owner
of the Magnolia, shoulder dislocated John
Carver, colored, mortally; a celored man,
badly, but may recover and several others
more or less injured. Among the saved
are Mr. w L Hall. Mr. Hopkins and lady,
lady, name not ascertained, Rev. a. Paul
Repiton, and several others, names not
known.
1t is supposed there were about 40
persons on board the i'll fated steamer at
the time of the explosion, upwards of one
half of whom persisted. The boat is almost
a total wreck, and was valued at $4,000.
No insurance. She belonged to the Lut-
terloh line, and was loaded with corn and
pork, mostly way freight

DIRECT TRADE OF VIRGINIA.-The
Hon. John Y. Mason, our Minister to
France, has written to the President of the
james River aud kanawha Company, de-
scribing in very complimentary terms the
singal ability and success with which the
Hon. VIM. Ballard Preston had fulfilled
his mission to France in regard to direct
trade with Virginia 1t apPears that an ar
rangement has been made with the Orleans
Railroad Company by which a line of
steamers is to be run between San Nazaire
at the mouth of the Loire, and Norfolk, in
Virginia. Judge Mason states that at the
mouth of the Loire 1.-The French Govern
ment is constructing the most magnificent
artificial harbor in the world. Opening to
the ocean, a ship sailing between that point
and Chesapeake Bay avoids the channel.
and will find her route Shorter by a censid-
cradle time than between Havre and the
same point" He AIDES that the Orleans
Company has a large capital. is the best
