EDITOR AR:-Believing that YOU desire to
inform the public of affairs most vital to them,
and irrespective of individuals, we would ask
for close and critical investigation of the con-
ditlOn OF the steamers now running on the Po-
tomac. The late terrible disaster at least should
arouse our authorities to the necessity for making
such investigation. We think that the lives and
the comfort Of passengers are more to be con-
sidered than any tenderness 10 the Off GERS and
owners Of boats, however estimable they NAV
be. There shOuld be close inquiry as TO the
construction of the Wawaset, and to the alleged
TACT that the wood castings to the boiler were
chaTred TO finder, causing the destruction OF the
boat. wish also to speak of the sanitary con-
dition Of all the Potomac boats. l say there is
not an emigrant ship that floats that will COM
pare III filth with that to be noticed on our river
boats. The mattresses and pillOw-cases are in
condition TO beggar description, dirty and in
Tested with yernin. on one of these boats at
least the stencil from the water-closets. on the
way to the dining saloon, is uncomfortable.
Now, let Us look at the manner in which our
river boats are worked, or rather over-worked
A steamer arrives at the wharf at II p. m. with
30 passengers taken down on an excursion and
absent some IS hours. She hurries her eNcur-
sion party ashore, and in two hours starts again
on her regular trip loaded down with another
large passenger-list, no time whatever having
been afforded to clean up or overhaul the boat.
The boilers and engines are always on the strain
at the highest heat for immediate use, and no
opportunity is allowed for cleaning. oiling test
ing, &c. The officers and men are OverWorked
in the same way that the machinery il. Worn
out with continuous labor, they are kept on the
strain to attend to the stOppages at the differ
ent landings; and at this season when the to-
bacco and grain trade is pressing, the work is
more specially onerous. The men SO over
worked are, in short, utterly unable TO place the
boat in proper condition.
THIS practice by greedy owners of over
working boats and men is at the bottom of much
OF the danger and discomfort to passengers. In
conclusion. would suggest that if our Board
OF Health have any powers in the premises they
should look into the sanitary condition OF the
river boats. SUPFERER,

THE wAwAsEr DISASTER.
Latest from Do Wn the River.

IDENTIFICATION OF RECOVERED BODIES
AS stated in The STAR of last evening the
tug boat .hary Lewis went down to the scene of
the wswaset disaster yesterday morning She
returned last night about O'Clock, but brought
no bodies and reported no more found. Capt.
WOOD reports every thing quiet about the scene
Of tie calamity, and very few persons there
BURIAL OF THE RECOVERED BODIES.
Capt. Gedney and President Howison yester-
terday made arrangements with Mr. Bufgdorf,
undertaken, to carry down ebay about thirty
large coffins and working force TO join the
the purpose Of having all the bodies disinterred
and removed to a more suitable place on higher
ground, and then permanently inferred.
THE DESCRIPTIVE RECORD
viii be carefully preserved by Mr.. McClelland
in order 10 assist in the identification of the
bodies. The bodies of Mr.. Hazard and Miss
Hobbs have not yet been found. Yesterday
morning, Mr.. Harvey Hazard and Mr.. Pratt,
his brother law, after thoroughly searching
the Virginia shore went to the Maryland side
travelling up and down the river on that side in
search OF the body of Mr.. Hazard.
1T WAS REPORTED
at Cbatterton yesterday that several bodies had
fOated ashore on the Maryland side but not be-
heved. and il is thought that all the bodies
about the scene of the disaster have risen, and
no more are looked for; it is also believed that
the statements heretofore made as to the num-
Der lost, have been exaggerated.
The published report that the wife of Police
man Reed, lost on the Wawaset, was near the
time OF her confinement when she lost her life,
is cOntradieted by the relatives of the deceased
BODIES IDENTIFIED.
There were nine bodies III all not identified at
the time of the landing of the boats here
and taken in charge by officer Burns, of the
sanitary force, and delivered to Mr.. A. Burg
dOTf, undertaken. OF these eight have since
been identified, viz: Matilda Day, Richard
Murray, Mollie Grant, aged II years; Lucinda
b. Grant, aged 59 Rebecca Fleet, infant, Julia
Ann Clayton, aged .; George Tibbs, aged 80,
deck hand; and = Peyton, child.
THE REFINEMENT.
MI Burgdorf, at the instance of the Ferry
Company, left this morning for the scene of di-
saster, taking down with him a force of men
and number of cOffins, and will disinter the
temporarily buried bodies and place them in
new collins. Those identified will be brought to
this city and'delivered TO their friends, and
those who are beyond recognition will be buried
on piece of high ground in the vicinity, pur-
chased by the company for the purpose. Those
persons whose friends are still missing would
0blge the company, IL they wish to secure the
remains, by leaving at Mr.. Burgdorfs as full a
description of their missing friends as it is pos
sible to give. In this way many of the remains
may be identified. Mr.. Burgdorf will send up
the body of Mr.. Lynch this afternoon, and his
funeral will take place from st. Aloysiuschurch
tomorrow Afternoon.
