By receut alterations the steamer City of Dunedin is now able to carry more than double the numb»r of steerage pnsstngera she formerly dirt; a large addition h tving been made to the number of berths while thi; op^n area of the steerage is not observnb'y reduced She is now one of the mo.-t comtnorii"us and best provided passenger boats on the New Z'alanl coast, and in the Dunedin and Have.ook trade in which she is reaularly she is extensively patronised by passenger-, both on the up and down trips. After the Ist December, travellers within the limits of Pint Otago, will have additional accommodation by the steamer Peninsula making a number of trips da ly from Ounedin wharf to Vauxhall Gardens, estab ishing thereby speedy communication with the Anderson's Bay district and other parts of the Peninsula. The Peninsula will be tree tor this new employment by the steamer (Jolden .*ge resuming the trade between Hunedin and Port Chalmers. That, vessel has lately been undergoing extensive improvements both externally and in her cabins, and engine room*, under the pers nal supe'intenrfence of Captain Malcolm and she will soon be ready for her old trade, with increased speed and very supeuor aecommoda'ion for passengers. Tenders are called for sbip-carpenters 'work on board the ship Saldnnha. now being fitted out for sea. after lying at Por Chalmers as a hulk for a number of months past. The Tasmanian Steam Naviga'ion Company continue to advertise for sale, either the City of Hobart, or their newer vessel, the Southern Cross.

A number of i"en are now busily employed in the work of blasting Jie rocky projection n xt to Messrs Clark and CVsship cha diery store, that being the sit of the bonded store, tenders for thr erection of which have recently been accepted. The bond is to be a substantial a»d commodious brick buildinir, and is expected to be fit for occupation in a few months. The s s ' 'meo is announced to sail for Melboutne K on Saturday ntxt. Mess?s Murray and Jackson advertise in another column the through r.ite* of freight on wool and goods by tlie steamers T'lapeka and Wm. MisMn, now.subsidised for tbe navigation of the river Clutha, and cnmrau"i ation with Dunedin. The fares a"e given for six regular landing and loading places on bnth branjhes of the river, the rates to other parts of the river beifig per agreement The Hamburg ship Hermine, laHy from New York, leaves for Oallao on an early day.

(From the Alia California) Sacbamento, 6th Sept. At half-past 4 o'clock tin's wornine the firehells of the eiiy were rung1, and our ciiizens were arou ed to learn that a dieadful oa nstrophe had occurred during the night, attended by terrible deotiuclion uf life and limb. Ihe steamer Antelope arrived at the foot, of R street at half-past. 4 o'clock, bringing thr information that one of the boilers of 'h« steamer Washoe had exploded at bnlf-past 9 o'clock the evening before on th1! trip up from fan Franoi'co, lh« hoat having on .hoard at the time one hundred and fifty to time hundred pa^seng rs. The explosion took place at the mouth of the Slough, seme thirty miies below Sacromeiiro, and annut live miles above Bio Vista. Th" Chrysopolis hau passed the Washoe, and wns at th; time some f«ut' milts ahead. As nothing w.is known on hoard of the catastrophe >>he rf course kept on Ii<jr c ursn Tlb Ante'ope, Captain Fnsfcr, having- started from *an Francisco heavily Ireiglitd, arrived an hour and a halt oi- two hours after 'he explosion occur e'l, arid extended to tb'sufi;rer< all Ihe aid wnicli it was possible to render. All the living pas9enuer?, ii jured or uaii jared. who could he found, were. t-irmieut to the city. When the ' Antelope' reached the fiot of K street, she ran aground, and remained at ih,i' point some two or three hoars before the efforts of ihe JSteaai Navigation C»m, an^'s boais to tow her off w-re successful. The s?er eon hjNrd was such as h js rarely been witnessed on the Pacific Coast. The floor of the cabin and a iiorrion ol the deck were covered with the dead and wounded. The mat tras-es and bedding of the boat bad been b'oushr into requisition, and .*ome forty sufferers had been strrtched out: sime "i them enduring g eat, agony, and others to'> badly irj ired to he conscious of iheir rendition. The most of the physicians ot the city lad been S'j nt for, and promptly responded rendering all thi? aid wii.hin their power. Among the serous'y injured, were thi'ee women, two «>f them sisters, died after being placed on board of the steambont'Antelope.' The other, Anna M'Gee, had fi leu broken, and was o herwise i< jured. the other sufferers were men who had, but a few hours before, been stricken down in ihe enjoyment, ot full and vigorous health. They w:ir, a most without ex eeption, badly scaliied about th* face and hands, and many of them over large portions of the bieast and body.

a Jarge number of citizens visited the levee while t.Ut; boat remaine-l at the foot of II street, tunny of them se.nreliinfr "nxiously for relatives or friends. Ai ahout half pa-t ni e o'clock th-s Antelope was hauled <>tf and towed up to her landini; at th- foot of K s'reet At that time one thou-and peisons had assembled on the hvee. and aD imnroinptu Sini.ary Committee was orcai.iserl. Ihe Vernnri House, on J street, had b«en en caged and opened us a ho-pital Stretchers were basiily constructed, and chs were fntched iato requitition on which the victims of the disaster were r. moved to ' be Vernon House h> volunteer citizftns, who manifested a lau able desire to do everytliina possibe which huma ity dictate').

Several deaths occurred after t'.e b >at landed, and of the forty or mure badly iijured, threefotnths will probuhly''ie. t is impossible ti tell, as we wri'-c, how m-:nv lives have bf-en lost, but it seems tlrnt at Irast 75 have been either killed or futaliy i> juied. We learn, from M. H. Stephens, chief clerk, that there were 153 pafsmipprs on board the H'ashoe on leaving f!an Kianci^co, and several others came on bonrd nt Bmicia and uio Vi«ta. (he Ante ope bri u lit up killed, injured, and unirjuifd, ab ut 80 lenvii g some live or six dead bndjpß and Ihre? or four ir jure I uersons at the locality of the wreck. The number blown overboard, [or killed and remaining in the lower SALE BY AUCTION,

STATEMENT OF H. M. STEPHENS, CLERK

I had ju»t laid down in my berth, about lo minute* t'j 10 o'clock, iti the sr.nrhoard forward state-room; the boat wa< going rani iy. My first impress-ion was a burst or wh z <if steam s .uncling like tearing something : immediat jy shutting my mouth, and rutting mj hand over my t:ose I rusliP'J for the door, which was bur.st offthe hinge-, Went oq the starhonrd quirter o' the boat. Think it was one of the starboard boilers exploded. Thiuk the p.ft he id of thboiler w. nt first ant threw the fires forward, athe boat was on fire in three places forward im mediaiely after the explosion. The exulosion was up and af'. The steering was ruiiic', hut she took a shear, and having headway enough, ran ashore. Think the boat wis at out shirty yards from shore when thp boiler explode'", (he Antelope arrived about two hours after the explosion Had onp huridied and fifty- hree passengers on board when we Itft Sun Franrisc •. I was clerk of (he Wakho»>. C'aptai" Ki'id was i-i the pilot house with Baldwin and Ka-t<>n pilots and all escaped unirjured. .Robert Morrison, the mate, waa asleep in the texas ; was blown out and fell through the deck, and escaped without injury. \A e were about four miles behind the Chrysnpolfr. The scene on shore whs awful, the cries of the wounded for wat> r being heartrending. A. fisherman brought a sack of fljur and a bottle of oil, and did everything he could to alleviate the euffiwrp.
