? Montreal, Sept. 21.- The steamboat disaster at Lachine to-day is the topic of conversation here. From a visit to the .spot The Globe correspondent gleaned some particulars of the affair. It appear,; that the " water jacket" on the boiler of the steamer Richelieu exploded, and the' result was the death of four of the persons on board and the setous wounding of seven others. The JUchelieu is owned by Capt. Filgate. of this city, and runs as a ferry between Lachine and Cauyhna-waga. During the full and spring months, however, she makes a trip each evening to Cha--i teauguay Basin, and returns to Lachine in the | morning. To-day she left Chateauguay at about 7 a.m. with about 60 passengers and five horses and vehicles on board. Between Lachine and Caughnawaga the steam ran low, and the rudder almost lost control of the vessel. Captain Duquette, finding'that the cur- I rent was turning the steamer round, went down ": into the engine-room and told the engineer lie ; would have to get more sifceam somewhere. Thef engineer then went to tBie fire hole and investi-f gated. The steam did not seem to improve, and the Captain again left tfche wheelhouse to give instructions to the engi.neer to. do something further to give the boat -way. The engineer wa just going down the ladder to the stokehole^ when the engine made half a revolution! with great rapidity, a loud, _ sharp re- s port followed by a crash, and flying cinders,?) smoke and soot were blown among the passengers^ All was excitement in an instant, the passengers, running about in confusion, believing that the-boiler had burst, and that the steamer was sink",, *1 nig. Some had presence of mind enough to -' make their way to the bow of the boat to lowed the anchor. Others lowered the two life boats from the davits while some clambered on to^ the upper deck and threw down the life preservers; stowed there in chests. The tug Ttm D<jyle from { Lachine saw the accident &n(j towed the'J "lSinostaangerously injured, and was d-Hrious for a greater part, of the day. His hea i is bruised fearfully, and so swollen that he is unable to open his eyes. He vomited agreat deal of blood, and fears are entertained that he is severely injured internally. He, however, said that he did not feel the least pain. He was married, and Ms wife and four children live at Que-be,. He obtained his second-class engineer's certificate in 1862, and considered himself one of the oldest engineers on the river. He said that at the time of the accident the gauge showed 27 lbs. of steam in the boiler-, and that the usual working pressure of the engines was forty-five pounds. He thought the- accident was caused by some of the machinery becoming deranged, or by a piece of wood falling between the movements of the engine, but did not realize that there had been any explosion. P"oor fellow, he seems to have stuck to his post to the last. THE KILLED. The killed are Pierre Duquette, captain and pilot of the Richelieu, a married man, and leaves a wife and four young children at Chateauguay Basin.; PierreI>uqueete,hi9 son, about 18 years old, purser ; P. Amyot, of ^Montreal, a single man, living1 in Montreal: a fruit dealer, Jas. Kichardson, son of a well to do farmer living in the parish oi St. Philomine, in the County of Chauteauguay. THE WOUNDED. The wounded are Mr. J. Laberge, of Chateau* guay. badly bruised about the legs ; Michael Me-Cumber, of Caughnawaga. fireman, badly scalded about the face and neck, and has several braises on his body; James Muir, son ot Mr. David Muir, a respectable fanner of Chateauguav, face and head badly bruised, and it is feared that his skull was fractured. He was insensible for a great part of the day. Michael Caron, son of a Chatea/uguay farmer, burnt about the face and neck. Dolard Pieard severely burnt about the face and bruised on the body. Emile Blanchard bunt about the neck and face. Both of thes« are young farmers from. Chateaugnay. Joseph Duquette,nephew of the captain, was at the wheel at the time of the accident.

It is a cylinder about three and a half feet in diameter by seven in length, and encircles the funnel. The boiler and water jacket were tested by Mr. Burgess, the Government Inspector of Steam-j boats in May last. That gentleman informed our reporter to-day that he tested both boiler and jacket up to 80 pounds pressure, and the safety valve was weighted at 45 bounds, and it is thought at the time of the accident only 28 pounds was being carried. The water jacket shows both thinness and rust, varying from about one-eighth of an inch in thicknsss downward. Mr. Burgess ascribes the accident solely to the weakness of the old iron, but cannot explain the immediate cause of the explosion, cold water which feeds the jacket becoming and so allowing the jacket to get almost empty, when of course an immense quantity of steam would be immediately generated by the heat. The engineer is unable to give any coherent ex-, planation of the affair at present. It is a wonder that with some sixty people on board there were not more fatalities. _ "^............ ^—'--ATriTci ¦—"' The coroner having viewed the bodies this afternoon empanelled a jury, and also made arrangements for the burial of the bodies.
