As soon as the smoke had dis- persed, a racing fire was seen streaming from k of the magnificent steamer (Genova, ging to Victor Emanuel, und chartered ani=h Government for the service of the war. The air was filled with shouts and cries from those on board. The steamer had jast arrived and had not entirely moored, her main anchor only being out. In the space of a minute hundreds of row-boats were along-ide tu receive the paasen- gers, and take in those who had jumped over- board. Shortly they arrived on shore, but mny awfully injured—so seriously that a few days after they died in the hospitaf. Some landed without shirts, others without pants, having been obliged to tear them off on account of the fire; many of the poor creatures had no r left on their heads. In the space of five r ten minutes not a single person remained op board the burning vessel, and an order was given to the thousands of tutors present, as well 2s to the inhabitants of the adjacent houses, to escape, for there was imminent danger The detonation was caused by the explodion of grenadc laced in the stern, where there sere yet remaining many more. and afi of them were hundreds of loaded bombs and over twelve tons of gunpowder.

After much trouble she two steamers commenced towing her, but vald only get her out to the distance of about ty yards or the length of the main anchor’s During all the time dreadful explo- ons of other grenadoes were taking place. fhe two steamers that were propelling found sil their efforts useless to drag the anchor and ~were obliged to abandon her inthe very middle f the harbor. The fire was raping intensely and fast making its way aft to the bombe and twelve tons of gunpowder. After some loss of time a Spanish men-ot-war was placed at a short distance from the wreck and cemmenced a heavy dis- rge of cannon ball to sink her, bu: nearly 1 hour passed before the steamer appeared to feel in the least any effect, and as the danger ‘vas increasing from minute to minute four rannuns were posted on one end of the Mole, end another man-of-war assisted, when finally the wreck settled down. The mainmast had sIready been consumed, so that the fire had a! a short distaneo to reach the magazine. in kali an hour more the great danger had nearly passed, for amid the tremendous ex- plosion of grenadoes that had not ceased from the commencement, another sound was heard— that occasioned by the struggle between the two elements; but the fire was soon after sub- slved, sud the waters covered the dewke.

Ax Isterestive Crrcrwstaxce.—We are relixbly informed that the body of Mr. Lafay- ette Branch, one of the unfortunate victims of the calamity at Lawrence, and a well known citizen of that city, was discovered through the means of a relative, who, while in a trance state. two days previous to the body being found, saw it in a vision Not only was the locality of the body revealed, but its condition: both of which facts were subsequently verified The person went up to Lawrence from Boston, and endeavored to call the attention of the workmen to the apet where he alleged the re- mains could be found Disbelief was expressed at once, it being stoutly asserted that Mr. Branch was buried within the line of the walls. It was only after much persuasion that the workmen were induced to remove the ruins at — a different point, and outside the main uilding, and where they soon found the body. These are said to be the facts of the case, which are stated to have created no little surprise a among them ‘who knew it couldn't he so.""— Boston Atlas. ——<—= A Pacroxt Panic at Conogs. N.
