F, Tallman, “the new and swift steamer,’ as she is called in the advertisements, left Albany at seven o'clook yesterday morning, for New York, She waa, comparatively, a new boat, and con- sidered a very fine steamer of her class, She was launched on the 7th of August, in 1851, She was five hundred and four tons burthen, two hundred and six foot long, twonty- Feven feet and four inches wide, and eight fect and a quarter deep. Her hull was built by Mr. Themas Coll- yer, at the foot of Twentieth strect, and her engines by Messrs. Cunningham, Belknap & Co., in West. street. She started from Albany in compaay with the Arme- nia, moking the usual stoppages for passongers, swolling tho number till it reaghed to betweon three and four hundred, She raced with the A., as all the passengers we haye seen inform us, till she had roa ahead of that steamer some four or five miles. Her hull had become very much heated from tho sun, as weil 24 from her own furnaces, till she was as dry asa chip and as inilammable as gunpowder, In this condition, and when near Yon- kera, while these three or four hundred human beings were little dreaming of danger, a black smoke was seen to issue from the centre of the boat, near the pipes. Soon after, one of the atsachés of the steamer appeared, and re- quested the ladies to keep cool—that thers was no dan- ger. Immediately it was notiecd that the head of the boat was turned towards the shore, from which a breozo © fight oreurred in a bar room, about poll city. Robert Green, a merchant, was danger. ously stabbed in several places, by av Tridhman named Weymouth. Several others were stabbed, aud a number of arrosis were made. A company bas been formod in Mexteo, to ran two steamers monthly between Vera Crux and New York, stopping at Tampico. Havana and Charleston.
