Steamboat Disaster. 
Thk Memphis Avalanche of the 20th Inst 
suy» : The steamboat David White, which left 
New Orleans on Thursday night for Louisville, 
with 800 passengers and 500 tons of freight for 
Nashville and Louisville, exploded her larboard 
boiler on Sunday noon near Columbia—225 miles 
south of this city. The forward part of the 
boat was literally torn to atoms and many of the 
passengers and crew were blown one hundred 
feet in the air, together with fragments of the 
tout. The scene is described as heartrending. 
The clothee were blown off'eome of the officers. 
GapL Kinney was hurled one hundred feet into 
the air and landed In the river, much bruised 
and scalded. The clerk of the boat reports a 
loss of sixty-five passengers, many of whose 
mimes are unknown, as the books are lost The 
boat Is a complete wreck. A part of the boiler 
exploded upwards and u part downwards, tear¬ 
ing the bull wide open. The engineers and 
firemen on watch were blown down with the 
hull.

Reeiprority, 
The Secretary of State has transmitted to 
the Senate tho report of E. H. Derkley, who was 
specially charged with investigation, in accord¬ 
ance with the resolution of last July, of the 
practicability of establishing equal reciprocity 
relations between the United States and British 
Provinces, and also of the question of the fish¬ 
eries. The report i mbracea a history of the 
fisheries, a statement of the rights of the United 
States in them, the decision of the British Em¬ 
pire sustaining our right to the Buy of Fundy 
and Chaltcon, description ot the climate und re¬ 
sources of tho country between Canada and the 
Pacific ocean, the statistics of the provinces and 
comparison of the cost of ship building in Can¬ 
ada and in this country, the effects of tho ex¬ 
clusion of lustre wool upon our manufacturers 
of worsteds, and the statement of the commerce 
ot St. John in New Brunswick, and other mat¬ 
ters connected with the relations of the two 
countries. 
He deems the fisheries of great value to this 
country, providing immense edible supplies und 
serving as schools to rear and educate a body of 
hardy seamen. He states as a striking fact that 
Canada gives a bounty of four dollars per Dm 
at the very moment that we discontinue the 
one we have paid since the commencement ol 
the century, although her fishermen arc ex¬ 
empted from duties and have the fisheries at 
their gates. 
He reports that the ship yards of the provinces 
annually furnish 200,000 tons of shipping, and 
have supplied nearly one-fourth of the ships 
that float under the British flag. He suggests 
that transfers of American ships to British flags 
have been punished sufficiently and should no 
longer be excluded from our registry. He docs 
not recommend, however, the admission of ves¬ 
sels to our registry and coasting trade. 
It is shown that the etumpage duty paid in 
New Brunswick for every tree felled is replaced
