STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION. The Mobile Journal of the 14th inst. contains the particulars of another steamboat explosion, and its attendant havoc upon human life. We learn from that paper, that the
s'.eamboat Benjamin Franklin, burst her boil
er, on the morning of the loth mst. as she was leaving tne wharf, for Montgomery, by which 4,the whole boiler deck, pilot house, en
gine and chimnevs, of the boat was blown
high ir.t-. the air, with many of the passengers,
some of whom tell to the water alive and not
materially injured.' Hut the explosion was
nevertheless attended with an unusual des
truction of life, as will be acn by the subjoin
ed list, which is supposed to be partial and incomplete. This fatal accident appears to have resulted from an undue detention of the
boat near the wharf, after having put off, to
accommodate a lagging passenger. The wa
ter in the boiler cot too low. The Mobile
paper says, ttis' supposed by those who witnessed the explosion, that from forty to fifty persons must have perisheJ. It is just, under the
circumstances mentioned, to call this waste of
human life the result of accident? Surely it is time to interpose the safeguard of legislative enactments in regard to steam navigation. Lut of killed, wounded, and missing, so far as the names have been ascertained: Killed. Martin, of N. C. (a young man.) Isaac Williams, Wilcox county. RoBiinklcy, Pilot of boat. Two men, names unknown, found under the wreck of the boat. They were so dUfigured that they could not be distinguished.

From the Norfolk Boacon.
We have been politely favored with the fol
lowing extract of a letter, dated U. S. Ship Peacock, Bombay, Ovt. 24. V
On the morning of 20th Sept. at 2 o'clock
we were aroused by the ship s getting ashore
we immediately furled sails. She was going
71 miles per hour when she struck. The
soats were gotten out and sounded round the
ship, after which the stream anchor was car
ried out in the direction of deep water at
viavhghtsaw a low sandy island to the north
ward bearing from E. to W. with shoal water all round us. We made every exertion to
heave the ship olF, but could not move her
we then started water, threw overboard spare
spars, guns, shot, provisions, kc. and afte
many reverses on Tuesday, we had the pleas-
ure of seeing the ship in water deep enough
toiloat her. IJunng this time many smal
vessels called Dorcs were near us, and likevu
tures watching the their prey, and while we were busy in getting into deep water, they
commenced robbing a rait we made of ou
spars to ho-d provisions &c. and to land u no
if we had lost the ship. At another time they attempted to cut off one of our boats, that
was carrying out a kedge, but a few shots from
our guns (for we did not throw all overboard
made them relinquish their attempt. These
iwless people are Bodouin Arabs who hv
by plunder, and if it had been our misfortune to have lost the ship, (he least of our suffer-
ngs would have been to have been made laves of. At sunrise on Tuesday morning,
while there was but little hope of getting the
ship afloat, Mr. Roberts left the ship in one of
our boats for Muscat, to carry the treaty and
to have relief sent us from that place. On the same morning we hove offand anchored
in 31 fathoms water, as we could do no better, where she struck v ery heavily part of the
lime. 1 he tide rises here six feet at 4 o -
clock, the tide began to rise. We got under-
weigh on Wednesday night ar.d anchored in
6 fathoms water next day we got out to sea and found that we had been on shore in the
Gulph of Mayziers, on a small sand key. We
arrived saiely at Muscat, and found that the Sultan had done every thing in his power to
atioid us relief. He htted out a slop of war in 21 hours, and despatched her to us with all kirds of refreshments, and ordered the Governor Zoar to sail for Mazia with all the Dows and 300 men to render us every assitance (hat we might require. We met the sloop
the day before we arrived; and after our ar
rival at Muscat, he evinced in every way,

0!i Court and .Vrrc Court. Every body recollect the feuds in Kct.tucky growing out of the quarrels between the Old Court nnd
New Court parties. The white rose and the
red were scarcely more prolific of difficulties
mid strife They have bten happily settled in that State, but one of her daughters to the
West, the State honored as the residence of the renowned Col. Benton, seems to be emulous
renewing similar scenes. The second Judi
tial District of Missouri rejoices in twojudges, the one named Hot and the other McBride,
each of whome holds the other as an usurper,
nmt bis appointment as illecal and void.
Politic?, as usual, is at the bottom of the busi
ness. At the session of the Court on the fourth of Februarv, as we learn from the iSt.
Louis papers,'both Judges made their appearance. Judge Hunt notified the proper offi
cers of his intention to hold Court; and so did
the old Judge, McBride. The clerk and
eheritl took lime until the next day to consider
th matter. On Thursday both Judges took
their scats in Ihe court room, and garc orders
for the Court to be opened. The clerk ex
pressed an unw illingness to act, because his I. nod was informal. Judire Hunt stated to
him that so soon as the court was regularly
opened he would attend lo the bond, bu
there v:is some other business which must
attended to first. Judgci McBride directed
the clerk to nad the record of the last day o
the last term; but this was countermanded
by Judgellnnt. The Sheriff was directed by Judge McBride toarijnnrn the court tothenext term, but Judge Hunt demurred and neither order was obeyed. At this time, a few toch.ng' remarks passed between the rival Judges;
