The force of the explosion was so great that pieces of the boiler were driven through heavy brick walls, and large portions of it were thrown from a hundred to a hundred and fifty yards from the place at which it was stationed. One piece, weighing between three and four hundred pounds, was lodged in the prison yard at Castle Thunder, a square off, and fell within a few inches of one of the guard, the force of which so stunning him as to knock him senseless for a few minutes. A tenement in Hughes's row, on 17th street, was also struck by a piece of iron and a hole driven entirely through it. We learn that a young man who was within range of the flying atoms at the time of the explosion was struck about his head with a flake of the boiler, injuring him so severely that he has since died. Several other persons are reported hurt, but we have been unable to find out who they are. Mr. George Johnson, the clerk of the establishment, was asleep at the time the fire broke out, and had

Mr. George Johnson, the clerk of the establishment, was asleep at the time the fire broke out, and had barely time to make his escape alive.

The origin of the fire is believed to be accidental, and as it frequently occurs that the furnaces in the drying room are kept heated all night it is more than probable that the floor ignited therefrom. The Fire Brigade were promptly on the

The report of the Secretary of the Navy, of the capture of the Harriet Lane, excites much just inof the Navy, of the capture of the Harriet Lane, excites much just indignation that so gallant an affair should be so misrepresented. Gen. Magruder is here and in good spirits. Nothing has transpired along the lines worthy of special note for the last ten days.
