About a quartert, one o'clock yes erday afternoon a gad calamity Occured on the Nori iver, near the foot of Jay street. A smill propeller, uamed the Petrel, explod- ed ber boiler, audwas blown to atoms. Three men lost their lives, while ofourth was badly injured. ‘The Petrel, it appears, Was abut 35 or 40 feet long, and was manned by a crew of fourpersons, namely: , pilot; Henry Brink, evgineer; Flward Downey, fireman, and ———, deck hand. She was owned by Robert Allen, of Jersey City, and during the past twi weeks bas been extensively engaged in towing canal bats from New York to Brooklyn and other points. As she was steamng up the river opposite Jay streot, ag already referred 0, the engineer appeared on deck and saluted the engiveer of the steamer Broadway, then lying at her wharf at the ybove pier, and just as he was waving his handkerchief theexplosion took place. The scene tha ensued is described os being most terrible. The propeller was blown to pices and ail who wereon board were kill ed, with the exteption of the freman Downey. The body offthe engineer, Henry Brink, was blown fully one hundied feet into the air, and in its descent fell upon the prowenade deck of the steamer Broadway, crushing it thedeek with its weight, and forcing its way through to the saloon below, The body of the unforta nate man was matgled in the most shocking manner; one of his legs was entirely blown off, while his entrails pro truded to the lergth of several fevt, Downey's escape #:ems mort wonderful. He was picket up in the water ina half conscious estate, suffering consi dorably from a wound in the bead. On being brought ashore, however, be revived sufficiently to be able to well his name and the tame of the deceased engineer. He was unable, however,‘ give our reporter the names of the pilot and deck hand. The oply vestiges of the ill fated tow boat which re mained were sone pieces of the exploded boiler which were blown tshore and landed on the Duane street pier. As specimen of boiler iron these fragments do not compare favorably with any we have hitherto seen in use, being fall of tlaws md extremely rotten in appearance, A platoon of the Fifth precinct police, under comman! of Inspector Hutchigs, promptly repaired to the scene of the disaster and reidered efficient service in taking care of the wounded man and removing the dead. A boat was procured and every effort made to discover some trace of the missing men, but in vain. Not a remnant of the propeller was discovered exe few picees of brokm timber, and even these traces of the iN-fated boat soon floated off with the tide and were lost to view. On the person ¢ the deceased engineer were founda number of papers among which was an order on Messrs. Quintard & Whitvey for a boiler of the steamer Petrel, signed by Erastus W. Smith, dated September 23, 1858 The body of the deceased was conveyed to the deadhouse at Rellevue Hospital, .o await the action of the Coroner, The dreadful effectaof the explosion were witnessed by several hundmed perséns, and the greatest ex ‘itement was manifested by the spettators for the safety of the unforta nate crew. Mr. Lawmnce, the clerk o the Broadway, in describing thescene, states that he observed the ittle pro. peller going pest the pier, and heard the usual salutation from tue steam whistle; he swung his handkerchief by way of recognition. when she instantly exploded. The smoke- pipe and fragments of the boat were blown in all diree- tions; heard a wash near him, and, on turning his atten. tion that way, mw the dead body of a man, which bad fallen through the deck. Ata distance, floating in the wa ter, he diseovered the fireman, whom he promptly res. cued, by means Of a small boat, and subsequently assist ed in conveying him to the New York Hospital. ‘The pieces of the exploded boiler, together with the papers found uyon the person of the engineer, were taken possession of by the police, and may be seen at the Fifth Precinct Station Houre. ‘The Petre! wat about fifty tons burthen,and was valued at $8,000, She ws lying idle all the summer at Newtown creek, but she reently changed owners, and gince then has been activelyengaged in the towing business. No cause can biassigned for the explosion, for the rea- son that there are none alive who could throw any light upon the matter. The engineer was killed instantly, also the pilot and deckhand, whose names are at present un- known; 80 there rmains no one toeolve the mystery ex cept the fireman, lowney, and he says be cannot account for the accident atall. ‘Tht Baltimore Tragedy. {From th Baltimore American, Nov. 6.) ANOTHER POLE OFFICER MURDERED—REVENGE FOR TH) CONVICTION OF GAMBRILL. Police officer Gorge W. Rigdon, the principal witness in the Gambrill tral, was last night brataily murdered in sf Fo drew bis revolver and started in pu j firing twice at the asraasin as be ran up Baltimore street. On turning the corner of Pine strect, the assassin and the officer again excharged shots without effect, and continued the race on to Pen) street, when officer Cook succeeded in knocking him down with bis , and, with the asestance of off cers Jamison and Higgins, carried him to the station house. It proved to be Petor Corrie, a butcber, residing on the Rlookstown road, and an associate of Gambrit!'s. Tt wil be remembered that officer Rigdon testified on uh imbrill trial that he had hold of David Houck, along with officer Renton, at the time that Gambrill came up and shot Renton, testifying positively to his identifles ton of Gambrill as the murderer. He bad boon just two years on the police, was a stout, athletic man, and @ most excellent and fearless officer, He leaves a wife, but ao », to mourn bis lors. He was thirty five years of age, and to-day would have been the seventh aaniver sory of hie marriage, which he remarked to his wife yes. terday The energetic and prompt action of officer Cook in this case leaves the impress of thorough efficiency, and « worthy of some substantial mark of commendation. He started singly in pursuit of a desperate and armed man, without any knowledge of the crime he had just committed, and determinediy followed him to his arrest, ng several squares before he accompli Hut for bis activity and efficiency the murderer would have eseaped, pertiaps to perpetrate further decds c.

The Mayor immediately ordered tho prison Peter Corrie, to be brought before him, when he made a full confersion of his participation in the murder, declar ing, however, that he did not commit the deed himaelf but that he remained at the mouth of the alley on Balti more street Whilst Marion Cropps went up the alley and fired the pistol. A warrant was immediately issued for the arrest of Croppe, and the Mayor committed Peter Corrie a8 am accessory to the murder, and also charged with attempting the life of officer Cook, On examining the hat of Corrie it wag, found that one of the ballets fired at him by officer Cook had passed through it, grazing his head The Mayor, at 11 o'elock, proceeded to the Middio ete ! ers is and Carmichael brought in , whom they had arrested at Frasmes a, of Holiday street, He was brought b und fully committed to jail on the charge of ner, it is said, came into the house of long with the Re we ter the shooting Wert trad Oring, and on ¢ the borly ex: efnitr Ie Jack Ketch for the —— No committe and turning to officer Stineheomb . “Rig was a good fellow—he often Jouned me # quarter When Twas hard up.” His conduct was such as to bave removed ony suspicion that might otherwise bye attached to him, It ts supposed that he quietly came out of the alley, leaving bis weapon behind, when officer Cook started in pursuit of Corrie.

In the meantime the jury agreed to take recess of one hour (it being then haif-past eleven o'clock) aud then assembled at the Western police station, Th» post mortem was regarded a8 an important matter, for the reason that one of the accused, Marion Cropps, a fow days since, in conversation with several parties who were standing on the corner of Baltimore and Green streets, ex hibited a number of buliets, with which he declared he in tended to kill a certain policeman of the Western district. ‘The coroner’ jury were progressing with their investi- gation at one o'clock this morning, when we were com pelled to go to press. ‘There was @ strong disposition at the Western station, on the part of the neighbors and friends of officer Rigdon, who was higbly esteemed as an officer and a citizen, to lynch Corre, as Boon as he was arrested, but the officers succeed- ed in securing hime and locking him up before it could be carried into effect Officer Rigdon had frequently mentioned to bis wife that he feared he would be assassinated on account of his testi mony in the Gambrill case, but asserted that he bad done bo more than bis duty, and would have to stand the con- sequences.
