1.-The Weather, Saturday, was warm
and pleasant, and business, in consequence,
assumed a livelier aspect.
$500 FTeightS are beginning to accumulate,
but the full river will occasion good supply
of boats, and the produce will be apt to move
off as fast as it arrives. We still quote New
Orleans freights as follows:
Corn, Csc per sack tobacco S. per hid !;
-four. 4oc per Dbl pork 60c per Dbl whis-
ky 75c per Dbl. Pound freights 25c per 100
pounds.
1.-THE Charley BosOen left at noon
with light trip....-.The Boaohng Green
and ID. b. Campbell also showed out for the
waters of Green River.
1.-THE d. b. Campbell brought out so
tierces meat and 81 hhds tobacco for
Slaughter & Dunkerson, and 60 hhds tobac-
CO, for 1. A. Crane.
.....The Autocrat will leave New Or
leans on Tuesday next.
'....Mr. Twoomey, ofthe John Temp kins,
arrived yesterday and reports the river to
be rising fast. His boat is on the way out
with a good cargo.
1.-The old favorite, j. II. Done, made
her appearance Saturday, loaded to the
guards. She was on her way to Arkansas
river. At this point she made contract
with Mr.. Burton to tow his new wharf
boat to Halena, Arkansas.
1.-THE GiIluns arrived Saturday with
As hhds tobacco for Brown & Altman and
80 for Slaughter l. Dunkerson.
1.-The following particulars, Tin addi-
ton to those we have published,) of the ex-
plesion of the Sam Gaty, we get from the
New Albany Ledger:
Names of the persons injured:
John Quin, fireman, of st. Louis, killed.
Thomas B. johnson, first clerk, feet and
hands badly scalded.
John Orr, fireman, scalded, supposed ia
tally.
Col. Brooks of St. Louis, carpenter, scald-
ed, it is feared fatally.
Ben. Mcknight of st. Louis, first engin-
eer, scalded, feared fatally.
Bernard w. Nadal of Louisville, pas
senger, hands slightly scalded, also bruised.
Enoch Weathers, bar-keeper, of St. Louis,
hands and wrists slightly injured.
E. Cooke of Louisville, I'd clerk, slightly
hurt.
The passengers saved all their valuabes
and baggage from the wreck, but in dam
aged condition.
The second engineer, Mr.. Baldwin, was on
watch at the time of the explosion, but for
the cause of the accident he cannot ac-
count. The boat was progressingat a mod
crate rate of speed, the steam was by no
means high, and il is said there was evident
ly plenty of water In the boilers at the time.
1t is supposed by some who were on board
that the boat and boiler was struck by
lightning, a storm prevailing at the time,
but as to the plausibility of this theory We
cannot speak.
The Gaty is an entirely new boat, hav-
ing just been completed in Louisville (where
she was built out and out), and this was her
first trip. She was built for the Missouri
river trade, and especially designed for
carrying freight. Her cabin was therefore
very small, and only intended for the accom-
wished to accompany stock, &C., aboard.
She was owned by Capt. Baldwin, her
commander, Capt. Charles Blount of St.
Louis, and Mr. Henry Billings Of Louisville.
The damage is estimated at about IS, 900,
which, of course, will fall on the owners,
as the insurance companies do not insure
against explosions.
1.-The Cincinnati Gazette of the 18th
,Ior ~ fha H.
Muskingum, as follows:
MARIETTA, o., April 12.--The Office of
the Cincinnati and Marietta Railroad Com
pany has been invaded by the water, and
its occupants have been compelled to vacate
the premises.
The Railroad is all right, and the trains
have run on time. We apprehend no dam
age to either bridge or road.
...... The New Albany Ledger says that
Cant. J. B. Archer is to take command OF
the steamer s. II. Tucker at an early day.
The tow boat antelope was attached
at New A lbany, on Friday evening, for debt
$500. Capt. Camp of New Orleans has
contracted for new side wheel boat to be
constructed at Paducah. The boat is to be
100 feet long, 4 feet hold, and % feet beam.
49,. The Emerald, which passed down
late Monday night, had on board large
number of delegates to the Young
lens Christian Association, which meets
in New Orleans shortly. Her passengers
paid the Captain $500 to lay up over Sun
day, which, as is reported, being very hard
aground with no prospect of getting off in
less than twenty-four hours, he accepted.
