wheel steamer Belfast, belonging to the Bel
fast transportation conn an abecame un naI-
ageable while ascending the falls last night,
the drift wood interfering with the work
ing of the rUdder and struck a hidden OBJ
struction breaking in the hull just foremost
of the boilers. She was run ON a neighbOr-
ing bar and rapidly settled, sliding of the
bar Just before going down. This after
noon the cabin at the stern separated and
the boat will probably come to pices before
the river begins to fall. She now lies in
forty feet of water at the stern and twenty
five feet at the bow. The officers and crew
escaped, one uoustabout only being injured
by falling spar. All the books, papers
and money were saved. The Belfast had
500 tons of pig iron, 300 tons of ship stuff
and 100 tons of miscellaneous freight on
board.
The river has risen one foot in the last
twenty-fOur hours, with % feet 6 inches in
the canal; p feet inches in Indian Pass
at G p. NJ, and still rising slowly. The
weather is clear aud cold, with prospects Of
more snow.

Autopsy of the sIamese Twins.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 2j.-The second
edition of the Medical Times states that
the autopsy of the Siamese twins was con-
tinued FRIDAY last and resulted in some in
teresting disclosures. The commission
found that the liverS, which were supposed
to be Joined only by blood vessels, were
really in the body, the parenchymatus It's
sue being continuous between them. When
they were brought from the bodies and
placed on the table they formed one mass
the sO-caIled tract of partial continuity is,
therefore, liver tissue. 1t will be proved
that Chang was said to be possessed Of one
more pouch than Eng. When the liver
was removed, however, an upper hepatic
pouch was found also proceeding from Eng,
s. that the bond entered the pouches of.
the peritonium beside the liver tissue,
These disclosures show that any attemptI
during life, to separate them, would in al
probability. have proved fatal.
