SFEAMBOAF DISASTER.
The White River Packet
ROwena sunk iu Eight
Feet Water.
Boat and Cargo Reported q
Total LOss-The In
surance, Etc.

The sidewheel steamer Rowena was
purchased by Captain John Davis seve-
raj months ago at cost Of 100000 and
put into the Memphis and White river
trade. Since that time she has made
regular trips, and attained an enviable
repute among both passengers and ship
pers. No more popular steamer arrived
at or departed from this landing.
This morning the Rowena's agents,
Messrs. Levy q Miller, received q dis
patch from her owner aud commander,
Capt Davis stating that the Rowena had
met with serious accident. While OPP
posite Helena, at O'Clock last night,
she sank in eight feet water, settling so
rapidly that she could not be brought to
the shore. She had good freight trip,
and quite a number of passengers. No
lives were lost, but it is feared that little
of her cargo can be saved, The dispatch
furnishes no particulars of the cause OF
the accident.
The Rowena was about four years old,
and fine steamer in every respect She
was insured for about $40, 900 in up river
companies.

THE CANAL.-It affords US great pleasure to
be able to state, on the best authority, that the
necessary repairs to the Alexandria Canal and
the Aqueduct will be completed, and water let

time boats from Cumberland will come directly
through with coal. Thus we have the prospect

is of such vital importance to the welfare of
our good old town.
