THE STEAMBOAT COMPANY OP GEORGIA, IK ADDITION toTs*ree Steam ers formerly composing their line, have recently built the very light draught Iron steamer, DAVID L. ADAMS, of great capacity and power, (making her trips in 24 to 30 hours,) thus securing great dispatch and unequalled facilities for the transportation of Goods, at very low rates, to the interior of Georgia, South Carolina, Ten nessee, and Alabama, in connection with the Geor gia, Western and Atlantic, and Tennessee Railroads. All Goods will be forwarded without commissions* also, Produce from the Georgia Railroad; expense* on which will be paid and collected at Savannah, from consignees, or from vessels by which shipped, when required. The D. L. Adams will run in connection with the Steamships Florida and Alabama, thus ensuring the transmission of Goods from New York to Augusta, in sto 7 days. Bills of Lading should accompany goods by Steamships. Particular attention should be observed in direct ing Bills of Lading; many now direct ‘‘Steamboat Agent,” “Steamboat Company,” &c., and as there are several Companies, this creates detention , and much confusion ; shippers by this Company should therefore direct Merchandize from the INTERIOR to JOHN B.

We are again called on to chronicle one of those most terrible disasters, a steamboat ex plosion, occurring at our very wharves. Yesterday evening, ata quarter to 7 o’clock, the steamboat Knoxville, Capt. J. F. Harris, bound for Nashville, Tenn., was about leaving the wharf, at the head of Poydras atreet —the captain ringing the bell, the pilot at bis post, and the wheels having made three or four rev olutions—the four large boilers exploded, with a report equally as loud of that of the Louisiana and with two distinct explosions. The Knoxville was between the Martha Washington below and the Ne Plus Ultra above. One whole boiler passed through the cabin of the Martha Washington abaft the social Hall, smashing her machinery. It then entered cabin,of the Griffin Yeatmen and lodged there, making a complete wreck of the cabin of both boats. Another entire boiler blew out on the levee, passing directly through eighty barrels of flour and a large pile of chicken coops, reducing them to one common mass, and stopped in its fearful career within forty or fifty feet of the brick building at the foot of Poydras and La fayette streets, a distance of fully three hundred yards. The side of the Ne Plus Ultra was greatly shattered. Capt. Phillips, her commander,was badly scalded. Her mate was slightly in jured. The bar-keeper on the Martha Wash ington was badly scalded. No one on the Griffin Yeatman was injured. The iron safe of the Knoxville was blown over the Ne Plus Ultra on the buckeye, severely wounding the Mate of that boat. Capt. Harris of the Knoxville was thrown a groat distance into the air, but received only a slight bruise. The mate had his arm blown off, and was thrown overboard, in which con dition he swam ashore. The officers and crew, about twenty-five in number, as far as we can learn, appear to have been the greatest vic tims. How any one escaped is a wonder. The upper works of the boat as far back as the ladies' cabin, is one mass of ruins. The boilers were all blown out, chimneys gone, and machinery dashed to pieces. About ten minutes after the explosion the boat took fire in the hold. There were about fifteen kegs of powder on board, stored we believe as is usual in the forecastle. These were either thrown overboard or removed from their dangerous position. The fire en gines on the spot in a moment, and despite their knowledge of the powder being on board did their duty manfully and effectually. The fire was completely extinquished, and the hose introduced into the hull tc pump out the water, there being a leak somewhere. The fore part of the boat is aground. There is no fear of her sinking. In a moment after the explosion, the tevee,as far as the eye could reach was covered by a dense mass of spectators, every now and then some reckless fellow raising the alarm of ‘powder,’and creating great contusion and distress. The wreck was immediately cover ed with people hunting for the sufferers by the sudden catastrophe, taking tnera to the neigh boring boats, where every c»re was had of them, transporting others to the hospital. The most exaggerated and alarming rumors existed as to the number of passengers on board and persons killed or wounded. From the many conflicting statements we received we hardly know what to believe, but finally obtained some information that could be relied on. No doubt the Knoxville was not immediately enveloped In flames from the circumstance of the machinery and connecting pipes of the Martha Washington being cut by the passing boiler and the steam and water in the Wash ington’s boilers were thrown into the hull and wreck of the exploded boat. All reports, some of which are from tho captain and other officers, agree in stating that there were not more than six passengers on board. The first and second stewards and chambermaids, and their assistants, all colored person?, were saved uninjured. The first en gineer is stated not to have been on board. There were about eighteen persons at the supportable, according to a statement left with ns on the authority of the chief steward, who are all accounted for The same statement relates that there were six or seven persons near the c erk’s office and as many more on the boiler directly forward. The latter were not accounted for. We know not how far to credit this statement. Two of the deck hands whom we saw,slightly wounded. af:er the ex plosion, were positive that there were only five or six passengers on board. We were unable to learn whether any ladies were on board. It was generally stated that a lady had been removed from the wreck severely in jured. Os the persons on board, two are cer tainly known to have been killed—one a white man aud the other black. A colored boy is missing. Mr. Wm. Henry, the pilot at the wheel, was at first supposed to be lost, but was found and taken to the Charity Hospital. A negro, large and of powerful build, was taken to the Barone street watch house. He belonged to the estate of Mr. Pitkins His head was horribly mangled. At every breath he look the fractured scull opened and the blood welled forth. He was dying when we left him. There were eleven persons in all taken to the Charity Hospital up to 9 o’clock last evening. They were all of the crew or officers, and of them dreadfully scald ed. One of them, named Wm. Doughty, second engineer, presented a shocking spectacle. His face was burnt black ; his back perfectly raw ; several large holes burnt into his abdomen, and the entire lower part of tho body and limbs dreadfully scalded. He was apparently a young nun, well made and vigorous. He did not ut ter a groan, though possess ng his conscious ness and suffering terrible pain. Few of these poor fellows were expected by the attendant physicians to live long. No persons were taken from the boat to any other of the hospitals. It is not ascertained whether any person on the wharf or levee was injured. We were generally informed that few persons were on the wharf, near the boat, at the time of the ex plosion. Two friends of ours, Capt. Britton and Mr. Judson, were on the levee about a hundred yards from the Knoxville, and, as it since ap pears, within a foot or two of the line taken by the boiler that was blown on shore. They were fortunately uninjured. In ail probability the meeting with a large number ofbarrels of flour aud chicken coops assisted to shorten the flight of the boiler in question, and stop it just in time to save the brick buildings at the corner of Lafayette and Levee streets. The owner of the cbicKen coops, a negro, had a very nar row escape. He was found, almost frightened out of his senses, iu the mass of barrels, cov ered with a thick coating of floor. i*Jrhe officers of the steamboat Martha Wash ington were in the social hall, waiting for the captain before taking supper, when the Knoxville’s - starboard boiler came directly through the cabin, carrying with it the table and the supper. The Griffin Yeatman had juet come from across the river, where she had been undergo ing repairs. The wives of the officers who had their families on board, had just left tho ladies’ cabin and sat down to tea, when the same boiler that had passed through the Mar tha Washington came into the ladies’ cabin of the Yeatman. The chambermaid and a ser vant gitl who in that cabin, heard the crash and ran into a state-room a couple of feet off, barely saving their lives. The boiler thrown on the levee is entire and apparently uninjured save in the collapse of a flue. It is about thirty feet long and four in diameter.

The evening Edition of the Picayune of Wednesday the 18th inst., says: The Explosion. —Fourteen persons only, all of whom were alive, were taken off the Knox ville last evening. None have since been discovered on the wreck or about it, though the most persevering search has been made since. All the morning the wharf was crowded with spectators. A number of hands were at work taking out the fraight, most of which it is thought will be saved, though some in a dam aged condition It consisted of salt, coffee, su gar, &c. The hold in the rear, has about two feet water in it. The boat forward of the wheel-house is a perfect wreck. The guards on either side are broken down and rest on the water; portions of the chimneys and machine ry, are heaped up or scattered about, with piles of broken timber, plankings, bricks, dtc. A segment rs one of the boilers lies in the engineroom blown out from a circular to a straight forward, much twisted and broken. A trunk, two carpet bags and other articles were taken from thieves, and are deposited at the Baronne street watch house. The negro at the watch house, belonging to Mr. Aitkin’s estate, died last night. Mr. Doughty, second engineer, died last night at the Charity Hospital. Mr. George Oldham, second clerk, reported to be severely scalded, is, we are pleased to learn, uninjured. The bar keeper, name unknown, is un hurt., James Smith, first cook, was brought to the Charity Hospital this morning, scalded in the face. B. H. Franklin and John Burke, firemen, taken to the Charity Hospital badly scalded, are dead. Boilers of the Knoxville.—lt has been stated to oh by a gentleman, in whom we haveii every confidence, that the boiler-maker who repaired the boilers of the Knoxville, a short time since at Algiers, told the captain of the boat that it was of no use to patch those old boilers; they would certainly blow up the first time that steam was raised in them. — N.
