AMERICA. (uuTza'a TIILIGIAN.) The Royal Mail steamship Cuba, from New York ea the Nth inst., arrived M Queenstown at 6 pm. on Saturday, with 200 cabin passengers. She landed in sacks of mails and 22 passengers, and proceeded at 6.20 p.m. for Liverpool. All well. She was detained eight hours off the port by fog. (Per the Ws. vie Reehe's Paint.) NSW YORK, Aram 18, Amami. General Meade and staff have left for Eastport, it is supposed in connection with Fenian matters. The Washington authorities have forwarded in structions to Eastport that the neutrality Laws should be strictly enforced. The Fenian continue to gather, hold meetings, and receive arms in different towns along the New Brunswick frontier. The United States gunboat Winooski is cruising off Eastport. A Federal revenue cutter has cap tured a suspicious brig off the coast, and taken her foto Eastport. Nine armed Fanjets' are stated to have landed on Indian Island, near Eastport, and stolen the British revenue flag. There was no one on the island to prevent the theft. A document has been circulated among the crew of the British gunboat off Campo Bello with the object of inducing the men to join the Fenian.. A mutiny is reported to have broken out on board the gunboat, in consequence of which 40 men were put in irons. A schooner laden with arms for Doran Killian has been seized at Eastport and subsequently released. The United States squadron, for duty at the Fisheries, will consist of seven vessels, mounting 50 guns, commanded by an acting rear-admiral. They will rendezvous at Eastport, and remain there until the Fenian excitement has subsided. The United States government has chartered a steamer to send • company of regular troops from Portland to Eastport. The Fenian Head Centre at Buffalo has purchased a powerful steam tug at that place. ST. JOHN'S, Amu, 17. Volunteers continue to assemble at Si. Andrew's and St. Stephen's. The governor of New Brunswick, in addressing them, said that if the Fenian affair was a hoax, it was one of the most serious ever concocted. It is believed that the incoming ministry will suspend the Habeas Corpus Act. _ _ _ The ship Simoom has arrived at St. John's with thellst battalion of the 22nd Regiment from Malta. MONTREAL, Aram 17. Government detectives are stated to have re ported that the Fenian have nearly ready for armament on Lakes Erie and Michigan fifteen vessels, besides schooners and transports, loading field artillery. Colonel Wheeler, late of the Confederate army, has been arrested in Cornwall, Canada. He held a com mission from Sweeney to recruit a Fenian battalion, and a copy of the Fenian oath was found upon him. He confidently declared that Sweeney would liberate him. The examination of Fenian prisoners at Cornwall is conducted with closed doors. NEW YORK, Aram 18, Arrixatoort. The New York Times declares that Austria has no pretext for sending troops to Mexico, and that the United States should resist the landing of Austrian soldiers by force of arms. The President has appointed Mr. Henry Smyth, a banker, collector of customs at New York. The appointment has no political significance. One hundred and thirty additional deaths have taken place on board the steamer England, at Halifax. The disease is decreasing, and there is no sickness among the cabin passengers. The Halifax physicians pronounce the disease to be decidedly cholera. The steamer Vera Cruz, from New York for Vera Cruz, has been wrecked. The crew and passengers were saved. . The war department has officially announced, with the President's approval, that the peace proclama tion does not remove martial law or operate in any way on the freedmen's bureau in exercising its legitimate jurisdiction. The war department states, however, that it is not expedient to resort to military tribunals in cases where justice can be obtained through the civil authorities. _ _ _ The Saxonia and the City of New York have arrived out.

PRINCE ALFRED'S CITY FREEDOM. -A short time since the corporation decided upon presenting the freedom of the City of London to Prince Alfred, and to depart from the usual routine of the gold box and to pre sent it in a casket that should be characteristic of the profession which the prince follows. The specification was limited to a carved polished ouk box inlaid and enriched with pure gold. Several designs for the casket having been aubsaatted to the General Purposes Committee at Guildhall, that of Mr. Benson was unanimously chosen. It is an ex quisitely carved oak cabinet, somewhat similar in general style, though not in material, to that made by Mr. Benson when the City's freedom was presented to the Prince of Wales. Its delicate tracery will make it almost unique of its kind, and its massive chased gold mouldings and in layings relieve the darkness of the oak, and give great rich ness to the whole design. The arms of Prince Alfred,with the shield of Gotha, are enamelled in gold on the front and back, with nautical emblems in dark blue panels support ing them, while the ends of the casket, which is oval sirtare closed with a scroll-work of foliage surmounted . :3 1 ; Arks. . ItZPRESENTAT lON OF NOTTINGHAM. —Lord Am ►erley has not yet issued an address, and although it was stated positively on Friday that his lordship had accepted the invitation to become a candidate, it is now averred that by the advice of his friends he does not intend to come forward until a requisition, signed by the electors, placing his success beyond all doubt is presented to him. Upon the conservative side Mr. F. C. Smith will, it is said, issue his address to-day. Mr. Handel Coesham addressed the electors and non-electors on Friday evening in diffe rent parts of the town. Mr. Bernal Osborne addressed a monster meeting in the Great Market-place on the same night, and met a good reception. The meeting took place at half-past seven, when many thousands of people were present. At the conclusion of the hon. gentleman's address his candidature was accepted by a forest of hands. REPRESENTATION OF WI NDSOR. —lt is stated that a compromise has been effected between the chiefs of the conservative and liberal parties with reference to the future representation of the royal borough. It is said to have been proposed by certain parties that at the next election Captain Bulkeley shall be returned as the conser vative ; and Mr. Roper Eykyn as the liberal representative. Capiain Bulkeley is well known as an active director of the Great Western Railway Company, and, from his long correction with the town would no doubt make an ad mirable representative. Mr. Roger Rylryn resides at The Willows, and is notir He is a staunch sup porter of the liberal administration. RETILESKI•TTATION or STAMIPORD.—Sir Stafford Marthoote has issued an address on retiring from the re presentation of the borough of Stamford, and Rear-Admiral Ilk J. Hay has sought the suffrages of the electors. In his menifeeto he strongly opposes the RIIIOTM Bill. ~"^"■!" THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, 1866. THE DISTURBANCES IN JAMAICA. (VllOll OUR BPSCIAL COILIUMPONDINT.) SPANISH TOWN, Aram 9. The Royal Commissioners have at length con chided their arduous and laborious task. All the circumstances which attended the recent disturb ances in Jamaica, and the measures adopted for their suppression, have been most minutely and patiently investigated, and the sad history of the whole affair is recorded in the minutes of the evidence that has been taken. A most lamentable story it must be admitted to be, no matter what opinions we may entertain as to the questions which are mainly at issue. If the occurrence at Morant Bay was but a premature manifestation of an organised conspiracy, hav ing for its object the destruction of all the white and coloured people of Jamaica, it is painful to think that thirty years of freedom, of church mi nistration, and of missionary effort, have left the blacks in a condition so little superior to that of brutes that they could entertain such bloodthirsty and fiendish designs. But if, as appears to me to be nearer the truth, the outrages committed in St. Thomas-in-the-East were the result of local discontent and agitation only, were wholly unconnected with any organisa tion in any other part of the island, and were strongly condemned by tho black population of almost every parish in Jamaica, it is still more painful to contemplate the savage measures of reta liation which were directed by the authorities — civilized men and Christian gentlemen as they claim to be considered—against the population of the disturbed districts. To suppress an active rebellion, or to prevent the spreaddof a revolt, measures of most exceptional severity may at times be necessary, and may therefore be justifiable ; and it is only upon one or other of these grounds that the hangings, and shootings, and floggings in St. Thomas-in-the- East can be justified, or even palliated. I find it hard to believe in the existence of active rebellion, when it is proved upon the testimony of their own officers that the troops never encountered any body of rebels in the field, and during all their numerous marches and counter marches never met with the faintest resistance. And after listening to the evi dence which has been given as to the state of feeling among the black population in other parts of the island, I have failed to discover in it any proof that the temper of the people was so favourable to the spread of an insurrection, which Mr. Eyre himself described as " hemmed in " within a week after it had broken out, as to justify the terrible measures of repression which were adopted. I know that this opinion is opposed to that of almost every white man in Jamaica, or pro bably in the West Indies ; but it is the opinion which I have formed, not upon loose gossip and idle tales, but upon the sworn testimony of witnesses, many of them most unfavourably dis posed towards the blacks ; and it is a conclusion which I believe will be forced upon the minds of most men in England, who, free from the passions and prejudices which warp the judgment of resi dents in this part of the world, will carefully ex amine the evidence which has been taken before the Commissioners. Although my sight is tolerably strong, I do not profess to see farther into a millstone than my neighbours, and I shall therefore make no attempt to inform you what will be the nature of the com missioners report. If it fails to give entire satis faction to any one, it will only share the fate of most similar documents, and under any circum stances there will remain this ground for congratu lation, that if its conclusions are erroneous, the evidence which will be published along with it will afford the means of demonstrating their fallacy. THE ATLANTIC CABLE. The slender Birmingham wire, which we recently traced from ita arrival at the gutty percha works in the City-road, through the various processes of manufacture, until it left Morden-wharf, Green wich, a complete submarine cable, is now being coiled at the rate of two miles an hour in the vast tanks of the Great Eastern. The Amethyst hulk, which we saw receiving its precious freight the other day, is now moored alongside the great ship off Sheerness, while the Iris is being laden in her turn at Greenwich, and will supply the Amethyst's place directly the latter is emptied. Thus, manu facture and stowage go on concurrently, and at the moment one part of the great wire is receiving its elementary coating of Chatterton's compound, or perhaps being spun at Birmingham, other portions are being laid down in the great ship ready for the final and momentous paying out. The directors of the Telegraph Construction Company hal , e chartered the Medway, a ship of 1,823 tons, to ac company the Great Eastern on her voyage out. The Medway will carry some hundreds of miles of the cable of last year, and in the event of the expe dition being successful, will redischarge this into the then empty tanks of the Great Eastern at Newfoundland. The Medway will then start to locate the spot where the broken end lies, to fix buoys, or it may be to commence the picking up. Captain Anderson, to avoid taking the Great Eastern to the Nore this yew., will go direct to Beerhaven from Sheerness, and will there supply himself with coal for the voyage. The length of time to be occupied in an expedition during which the double process of laying down one cable and picking up another is to be gone through, is necessarily estimated at a much higher rate than the one of last year, and some seventy days are spoken of as the period the Great Eastern will be away. Assuming her to leave Sheerness from the 29th Juno to 3rd July next, three days will take her to Beerhaven, where she will stay nine days to take in coal. Allowing five days for waiting for favourable weather, for splicing with the shore end, and fifteen days for the passage to Trinity Bay, we may look for mes sages from America about the beginning of August next. The Great Eastern will again supply herself with coal at Trinity Bay, and at once follow the Medway to the grappling ground ; this will take three days, and eight more are given for grappling, and five for returning to Trinity Bay and laying the remainder of the old cable. This done, the return of the Great Eastern to Eng land will take twelve days more, and bring her home about the second week in Septem ber. In each case a margin must be given to the foregoing figures, but they are based on present calculations, and may be taken as authentic. It will be seen that they assume success throughout, and it may be added that on an elaborate series of prob lems having been drawn up by authority, as to what would be the effect of different calamities or casualties, should they arise, the responsible leaders of the coming enterprise have answered every supposition satisfactorily in writing. The issue time alone can solve, but whatever may be its result, the more the preparations for the Atlantic expedition of 1866 are known the more they will be regarded as marvels of forethought, of precaution, of skilful analyses of cause and effect, and of logical deductions patiently, laboriowdy,and courageously worked out.

CASTLZ e. BASB.--THI DIVISION ON TIM WORN JILL. Mr. J. 0. Grifiltte appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Had &mien, Q.C., for the d.efendant. This was an action to recover oom in damages for personal injuries received the alleged negli gence of defendant's servants, the endant being the celebrated brewer and M.P. for Derby. When the cane was called on, Mr. Huddleston said the defendant and his witnesses were not present. He could only attribute it to the ex citement of the division on the Representation of the People Bill, the defendant having voted that morning with ministers. (Laughter.) It was then arranged that the use should be made • remsnet to the after-terra sittings. *parting lEntriligenct. CHESTER DO SALIS INGS BURY , A ID THE ASCOT AND MEETING& TO Tall TOMS 01 MI 1/141128. Sig,—Every week we see the Derby becoming gradually reduced to • moodier compass. The deprecia tion of the form displayed at two-years-old by Student, Janitor, The Primate, Auguste, Magician, &c., and the failure of Apaley, Mammal's, the Peer, War, Westwick, and others, to sustain their private cha racters when they emerged from their obscurity leaving the two divisions — the public and the dark horses—but poorly represented. It is true Ceylon end Knight of the Crescent each made a respectable debut at Newmarket, where, too, we saw Lord Glasgow's colours and Monarch of the Glen in a much more favourable light than was expected, after what they did last year ; but Ceylon happens to be in the same interest as Rustic, and the only one that appeared to seriously jeopardise the chances of the two favourites after the Two Thousand was decided was Delight, who came to such sad grief at Chester. The Rhoodee Cup would have been the St. Albans and Petra race over again, that many looked forward to had Delight stood up, the only difference being that Dolby would have proved the Petra in place of Redcap ; and yet it must always be doubted whether the young one would have beaten the five-year-old, the opinion to the contrary entertained by the jockeys riding in the race not withstanding, for Dolby pulled up surprisingly fresh. Had Delight finished but second to him, and got through the effort without breaking down, he would have done very well for the Derby, • glance at Dalby being all that was necessary to convince anyone what a very different horse he was to the Highflyer's dam colt of last year, when he could only beat Buokfoot • neck at 711, in the Chester Cup, and ran so badly at Shrevrsbur7 in the autumn. Always appearing a colt that wanted time, from the date of his showing in the Ebor Handicap of 1864, his party had the patience to give it him, and he is now not only a horse of no little quality, but, what is better, a sound one, that may long remain on the turf to perpetuate the fame of Daniel o'Rourke. Redcap, perhaps on acoount of the bard ground, failed to run up to his trial with John Davis, whoseperformanosat Northamp ton, however, always had a very strange appearance, and I have • strong suspicion that more of those in the field he scattered went for than against him. Moulsey ran • good horse.under the weight, still there was nothing startling in his performance, seeing that Treasure Trove (fourth) was once nearly down, Honesty (fifth) ran very mode rately next day, and the broken-down Delight was not far off. Many of the others fell lame, broke down, or met with mishaps of some kind, Bangs& breaking his leg, and Saladin having part of his foot literally torn away with the plate ; whilst Burney and Sandal, when lying very for ward, were seriously disappointed, with Kingfisher (a better horse than many think) and others. The Lion, Buckfoot, and Blithfield, who swelled the lame list, would have been better at home, for the two first named were in the same interests as Treasure Trove and Dalby, and it was always impossible to train the six-year old ; anti Clown was only started to make running foe Redcap, which he did moat effectually, the race being one of the fastest on record, and the time—which beats Blair Athol's and Kettledrum's 2 minutes 43 seconds, in the Derby—the best ever made at Chester. It was thus no wonder that, with the ground so hard, there should be many breaks-doyen, and the Delight party have every reason to regret not saving the horse for the Derby, which I believe they seriously thought of just after he won the City and Suburban. But, as with the unlucky Yellow Jack, whose severe race for the Chester Cup lost him the Derby, they attempted too much, to the benefit of the backers of Lord Lyon sad Rustic. The Cup, since the decline of the Dee Stakes, is the only Cheshire event that is worth talking about afterwards; and for the features of the minor races we have to fall back on the clever " double" performed by the Marquis of Hastings with Pantaloon and Professor Anderson on Thursday (though he might have made a " declaration" which would have justified the wrong one being pulled in favour of the right, and many thought the same " party" might also have scratched Mr. Pitt for the Cap earlier than they did, after making him such a great favourite) ; the shabby trick played with Life Guardsman in not running him for the Dee Stakes after his jockey was weighed, for which many suffered ; and the blunder committed in letting • winning horse, Lucifer, run as a maiden in the three-year-old Beaufort Biennial. The conditions for this latter race were certainly badly framed, but if the original advertise ment of the event had been consulted the error would not have been fallen into, as that said the race was " for two- year-oldsin 1865 . . . . and to be run at three years old in the following year ; winners in 1865 of 100 soya. at any one time, 31b ; two or 200 soya , 51b extra ; winners in 1866 of 200 soya. of not less than six subscribers to carry 51b extra ; maidens in 1866 allowed 81b ; to run at two years old, first day, three-quarters of a mile ; and at three years old, no day fixed, one mile and a quarter." The intention is here quite apparent, that maiden three-year-olds shall take an allowance and maiden two-year-olds not, which is all right enough, as a horse that has been training sixteen months without winning is entitled to some advantage ; but those who let Lucifer run with 81b off quite misconstrued both the epirit and the wording of the conditione, and &school boy could have told them, sitar reading the fourth rule of racing (" a maiden horse or mare is one that has never won • plate or sweepstakes in any country "), that • winner last year could not be a " maiden in 1866." Reading the con ditions even as the partisans of Lucifer do the horse will be found to have carried the wrong weight for they sti pulate that winners in 1865 shall carry extra, and if Lord St. Vincent's colt took an 81b allowance as a " maiden in 1866," he should certainly have put up • penalty at the same time as a " winner in 1865." But the blunder all hinges on the transposition to two or three words, and were the " in 1865 ' and the last "in 1866" of the above quotation to come after the words " extra " and " 81b," we should have—so plainly that everybody would under stand it—what was palpably the meaning of those who framed the conditions of the Beaufort Biennial. The first Spring Meeting ever held at Ascot takes place on Tuesday and 'Wednesday, and must attract plenty of both horses and visitors, for stakes representing about 5,0001. are to be picked up during the two days. The Duke de Brabant Handicap, one mile and five furlongs the richest, and is left very open by the Chester Cup run ning, for Dalby did not accept his get 131 b (had he done so he would have been formidable, for all the 51b penalty), nor Redcap his 9st 41b. The best we saw at Chester that are left in comprise Sandal and Monitress, of whom the former has the beet of it, seeing that Treasure Trove beat the young oue on the Rhoodee quite as easily as he did the old one at Epsom, thus making Scandal to appear capable of giving Monitrese 40Ibs instead of 341ba. Spht the Difference has run badly this year, and the 'best of the opponents of Scandal and Monitress may be found in Mr. Eating or Sealskin, and Lord Westmorland's Auditor or Brahma. Mr. Savile's selected is sure to stay, whatever it may be, and if beaten, as is to be expected, by Sandal or Auditor, who have almost as much the best of the weights with • as Monitress, it will not be far off. One of the best 100 • youngsters ever seen on New market heath, Friponnier, is in both the first day's two year-old races ; but he is pretty certain to prefer the richer one, the Grand Stand Plate, five furlongs, as the best of the public performers against him, burring his stable companion, The Rake, who may not run, are penalised Cellina 61b, and Achievement 31b. It will require • flyer to beat the last named ; and if Marksman and Knight of the Garter are up to the mark they too will trouble Friponnier, on whom, however, I must stand to defeat the pair. I rather doubt his ability to beat Opoponax or Cellina for the half mile First Spring Biennial, as these have no extra to carry; nor may Knight of the Garter, Problem, Verulam, or Rescue be capable of clipping the wings of the two vic torious Epsom fillies. The Sunninghill Stakes, half-s -mile, comes off on the second day, and at present it looks very open, with Problem, the Rescue, Misfortune, Verulam, Hippie, and Cellina pena lised 51b, and Blush Rose, Knight of the Garter, and several dark ones of whom favourable mention has often been made, allowed 31ba. However, the first day's racing must throw some light upon the probable re sult, as all but the magnificent Hippie and Misfortune have to perform. The Handicap Plate of 100 nova, half • mile, may be won by Steamboat or Cedric ; and Sydnion• ton looks all over the winner of the South Western Plate ; the 3001. Plate, over the Cup Course, likewise appearing within his compass, although Mr. Savile has four to choose a champion from that can all stay. The other events are either incomplete or not worthy of attention. At Salisbury, which will lose nothing by following Ascot, there are three decent 2-yr-old prizes awaiting, Misfortune being the best performer in the Salisbury Stakes, as are the Daneburyites, Prodigal and Lady Hester, in the Wilton Park and Langford Castle Stakes ; but I have no ambition to attempt anticipating any of the events in the programme, a certain clique having as many as a dozen engaged in some of them, and all will depend upon bow their money is invested at the poet.—l am, &c., METEOR. BETTING AT THE VICTORIA CLUB.—BAruariet. The " facers" which the ring have received at each succesilve meeting slum the commencement of the " legitimate " racing season at Northampton, have been the means of bringing them seriously to think of the responsibility and consequences of Incurring fresh liabilities on the Derby, seeing that the favourites have had it almost all their own way hitherto. There was • tolerable muster at the Victoria-club to-day, but speculation was at • dead lock until Just upon S o'clock, when there was some show of a disposition to bet on the Derby. Lord Lyon was again the hero of the hour, 1000 to 400 being sought for in vain, while to 2to any mosey could have been procured about Rustic. When the excitement had partially subsided, • commissioner who had Just stepped Into the room offered to lay 90 to 40 twice against Lord Lyon, which, a ft er • little quiet talk, was accepted But with that transaction there was an end of any hostility against the favourite beyond offers of 2to 1. Vespa- Mtn was frequently inquired after, and when Sheen "ponies" had been put down, 1,000 to 70 was laid twice, and at the latter odds Sedan (whom many think is the only one "In the hunt besides the Lyon"), would ham been supported for several hundred pounds, one inluential agent having been only able to secure 1,000 to 70 once.

The proceedings then terminated. MARKETS HARDWARE—Bnutisanaa, Antir, 28.—The trade of this town is steady, and there is a fair and regular supply of orders through the factors ; manufacturers have not, p er haps, as a rule, so many on their books as they had three weeks ago, but there is no approach to slackness in any of the principal branches. The country shopkeepers generally who are in the hardware trade are doing a good average amount of business, and as a rule their stooks are moderate. In the foreign trade there has been very little change of late ; but in the continental department some degree of sluggishness is reported, the merchants being dia. ' posed to withhold orders, whilst the Prusso-Austrian dila oultynimainsunasttled. The Americantrade issubeiding,the orders come very sparingly as compared with two or three months ago, and on account of Canada very little is being done at this moment. There is a fair supply of orders in from South America, and the foreign West Indian trade is tolerably well sustained. The accounts from the adjoining district, so far as relates to the various branches carried on in that quarter, are most satisfacto .At ill the foundries they are in full work ; the •are busy ; the hollow-ware manufacturers of West Bromwich have a good supply of orders, and for railway fitting's of every class the demand continues very tarp. On the Dudley side of the district there is ample evidenes that the trade is active. COTTON.—Lrysitroot, Aran. market with a decline of Id. per lb. upon yesterdar c esioss.

On Monday and Tuesday the business at Liverpool in ootton encouraged the notion that a reaction was setting in from the low rates to which prices had dropped last week, and under this impression yarns improved fully to the extent of ld. per lb., with a fair amount of business. Since then the tide has turned the other way, and the whole of the advance has been lost. The change has been accompanied with an amount of dul ness and inactivity which shows very little confidence even in prices at the present low figure. The cloth market shows the same want of spirit exhibited in that for yarn. Buyers steadily keep aloof, and there is an impending sense of danger from the great losses sustained which adds a feel ing of gloom and insecurity to the depression which gene rally prevails. WOOLIML—Lkene, APRIL 28.—The attendance both of merchants and manufacturers, at the coloured ha il this morning has been below the average, and the transactions have been restricted almost entirely to the transfer of a few parcels of heavy coatings and similar goods as samples for the autumn trade.

Fidflit4 Flux DI NECILLT, TERRIBLE EXPLOSION OF AN ENGLISH STEAMER.-GREAT LOSS OP LIFE AND DE STRUCTION UP PROPERTY. A terrible disaster occurred at Aspinwall on the 3rd inst. The British steamer European, while lying along side a wharf for the purpose of unloading, was blown up by the force of en explosion which occurred among the cargo. The ship herself was greatly damaged. The wharf at which she was unloading, and which was 400 feet long, was literally torn to pieces, and a large building, the freight house, close at hand, fell, a heap of rains. The shock was felt throughout the city, and scarcely a building escaped without more or less of damage. The loss of life oould not be accurately ascertained at the departure of the mail, but it is estimated that fifty persons have perished. Many persons were wounded, and some had to undergo surgical operations inthe hospital. Beveralsurvivedonly a few hours after reaching that establishment. The damage done is roughly estimated at a million dollars. There were three explosions in all. After the first had taken place the Royal Mail steamer Tamar prepared to tow out the burning ship. Before she could do so the second explosion took place. It was not, however, of a very serious character. The European was then towed out into deep water, where the third explosion occurred, which so completely shattered her that in less than half an hour she went down. The Panama Star and Herald says it was at first supposed that the catastrophe was due to gunpowder, but it seemed im possible that powder could explode in such immense quantities without creating a cloud of smoke, and leaving its marks on everything around, whereas in this case a few minutes after the explosion no traces whatever were visible, excepting the general ruin. It was then discovered that some seventy cases of glonoine or nitro-glycerine, one of the moat powerful explosive agents known at the pre sent day, was on board under an ordinary bill of lading' This at once cleared up the mystery. This compound is used for blasting purposes, and was shipped from Liverpool for California. It is believed to be of a similar composi tion, if not the same, as a barrel or box of oil which ex ploded in Greenwich-street, New York, a short time ago tearing down two or three [large buildings and damaging many others. TERRIBLE DISASTER AT SEA. -GREAT YAR•• WAS!, SATUBDAT.—lntelligence has been received here of the supposed loss of a screw steamer and all hands. It seems that on Thursday night, about eight o'clock, a large screw steamer passed the Newarp light ship, off Winter ton, and in about half an hour a tremendous explosion was heard, followed by a body of flame. The steamer then disappeared, and it is believe, that all on board perished. A smack at no great distance observed the disaster, but could not bear down in consequence of the absence of sufficient wind. The report was distinctly heard at Yar mouth, from seven to eight miles distant, and caused a sensible vibration in many houses along the beach. Two steam tugs put off, and at daylight to-day the Minnet returned with 15 deck planks connected by a piece of iron beam. ASSOCIATION IN AID OF THE DEAF AND DrBIB.
