Dreadful Explosion cad Loss of LiUes. The Pittsburgh Advertiser of the 9th 0c- tober says: This morning about o'clock, just as we had stopped the emission of the city edition of our paper, intelligence was brought 10 us of the explosion of the boi- lers of the Eagle Cotton Factory, in the borough of Alleghany, owned by Messrs. Arbuekle and Avery. Fastening in short time afterwards to the scene of calamity, we witnessed the full extent of the ruin and disaster. Never did we look upon spec taele so full of horror. tfhe extensive building Is almost an entire ruin, a mass of stone, brick and rubbish es I lie building and much of the costly and extensive machine " are utterly lost and destroyed; but the loss of the property IS small compared with the loss of lie and the agony and misery which have resulted. So far as we could gather the circumstances, they are these. The boilers had been suffered through neg lect or inattention to become heated before the water was let into them, which caused the heads to be blown out--and the con- cussion was so great that they rose from their beds, and passing out of the engine house, overturned small office attached to the buildings, and were finally arrested by large board pile in the rear of the build lngs, which it completely shivered to pieces, machinist, James Marlett, Frenchman, was killed instantaneousy, and the lst Engineer, Alexander Morrow, so badly scaded as to leave no hopes of his recov- cry. Two boys, named James fleming and -Dodd, are missing, supposed to be lay

 ing dead amongst the rubbish, which is now being removed. Another boy killed, name not recollected. Three young wo- men at work in the Factory were very bad ly wounded, all of them having limbs bro- ken.

 It was fortunate circumstance that the explosion occurred at an hour earlier than that at which most of the hands are accus- toned to be at work-had 1t been an hour later, the disaster would have been very great gas 1t Is, the extent of injury is not yet known, as several are missing, of whom it is not known whether they were on duty or not.
