Lieut. Bukup, one Oftlie revenue Officers of the Billlze, was blown from the boat on board the Star, and was killed on the'spOt. The mate of the Ed. Thorn was killed by the explosion, and the Captain is dangerously wounded. The latter, and Captain Heaton, who is likewise badly hurt, were brought up to the city yesterday on board of the Star, and medical aid Was immediately procured to render them every possible assistance.

Captain Heaton, of the Star, (a brother of the Commander of the Mohican,) did every thing in‘ his power to alleviate

securing immediate remedies for their recovery.

The Mohicaii caught fire immediately after the explosion

and was entirely consumed. The deficiency of water in the
