ACCIDENTAL DRowNING.-On Saturday evening
about O'Clock, young man named James Evans
was accidentally drowned near the Locust Point
Ferry wharf, under the following circumstances:
1t appears that he had been rowing about in the
basin during the afternoon in small batteau, and
about the hour above named, it is supposed, pushed
his boat astern of the ferry boat, Belle of Balti
more, and made the painter fast to the chain of
her ller for the purpose of being towed across the
river. After the steamer had proceeded some
three hundred yards from the wharf, aptain Dun
nigan, of the steamer heard the cry of ''man over
board; and looking towards the shore observed
man just struggling his last in the water. Before
the steamer could be backed to be of any service
he had sunk for the last time. The body was re-
covered about an hour afterwards and taken to the
Eastern station house, where Coroner Sparkln

diet of accidental drowning. No appearing to
take charge of the body the Coroner had it decent
ly buried at the expense of the city.
BURGLARY.-The dwelling of Mr.. Henry Her.
ring, on Stiles street, near High, was entered by
burglars sometime during Friday night or Satur-

value of which will amount to over $50. Entrance
was effected through the front door by means of
false keys and nippers. The robbers took several
pieces of clothing from the entry, and proceeding
to the dining room, broke open the side-board from
which they stole nine silver spoons, four plated
fruit and cake baskets and some other articles
They retreated quietly from the house by the way in
which they had entered, and nothing was known of
the robbery until the family in the morning

COnfiagratiOn at Pittsburg-Tem Steamboats,



Burned
PrTSBURG May AT quarter past twelve o.
clock this afternoon, a lire broke out on board the
steamer Henry Graft at the landing, and quickly
communicating to the adjoining boats, in less than
five minutes ten of them were envelOped in flames
and soon proved total loss.
The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company with the
usual good luck attending its operations, escaped
almost entirely. The shipments of that company
for the West on board the steamboats, Econ
omy and South America, which escaped entirely.
The latter boat fortunately had steam up, and was
the means of saving all the other boats at the land
ing, thirty in number. She took feet of four
boats in tow, which were nearest to the fire, and
thus left gap which made it possible to save the
rest
The following boats were destroyed
Henry Graft Council Bluff Potomac, Ponola,
James W Wood. Belmont, Commerce, Jennie Gray,
j. H. Conn., Cremona.
The flames spread with terrific rapidity, and the
heat was so great that fears entertained for
the safety of the warehouses on Water street The
exertions of the firemen were principally devoted
to the saving of this property.
The amount of freight on the boats was not large
small portion of the freight on the wharf await
ing shipment was also destroyed.

On Saturday evening Christopher Raborg, while
sailing in a boat the river, near Dophin's fish
ing shore, discovered the body of a German appa-
renty about 20 years of age, floating in the water.
The body was towed up to the Spring Gardens,
near the Gas House, where it was left until vester-
day morning, when Coroner Battee was summoned
to hold an inquest over it. 1t appears from the
evidence at the examination that the deceased was
named William Young, and had boarded for the
last ten days with a man named Joseph Keener,
No. l35 Saratoga street. He had recently arrived
in this city from New Orleans, and had been missed
for the past few days. On his person was found
very handsome duelng pistol; a copy of the Con
sitution and Bylaws of the Turner Verein Socie-
ty, and the sum of thirty-One cents. The Jury re-
turned verdict of accidental death from drown
ing" and the body was shortly afterwards removed
to the Southern district station house, where it
will remain until to-day at nine O'Clock, when it
will be taken in charge by the Turner Society and
buried.
Coroner Sparklin was called on Saturday after
noon, to hold an inquest over the body of an un-
known man, who died rather suddenly at the house
of John Leonard, on Marsh Market Space, near
Hawk street. From the evidence before the Coro-
ner it appeared that the man came to Leonard's
house on Friday night and procured lodgings On
Saturday morning he complained of being unwel
and remained about the house; at three o'clock he
was taken suddenly i'll aud soon after died. YER

MORE ScANDAL.-The Washington correspondent
of the Montgomery (Ala.) Aduertiser writing on
April &c says, that on the day before an order was

the District, instrucing him to take all necessary
and particularly to render them secure in the neigh
borhood of Lafayette square and Madison place
The order was based upon paper signed by Lord
Lyon and all the attaches, averring their persons
to be in danger from threats, but specifying no
particular one of the number. 1t seems that a teller

corner of the Presidents square, by discov-
cred that one of the British Legation had had too
much to do with his wife.
