is confirmed by accounts received yesterday NOR
ming. The explosion occurred on the 25th ut.
at Helena. where the Brown was lying to fol
freight passengers. and is attributed to fhe neg
lect Of The engineer in moi letting Off the steam an


sufficient quantities. The effects of the accident
were irlghtiul and awfully destructive. The force
OF the explosion SO great as to throw two OF
the boilers out Of the boat upon the bank. The
other boilers torn to fragments and scattered

tending aft as far as the door Of the main cabin,
was carried away, aud tossed into the river and
upon the shore. The number of killed and miss

Gus and atrocious practice, which continues to
make havoc of human life on our waters, in spite
oi the restraints and penalties imposed by the
law and the denunciations of the public press. As
