" The European arrived at Aspinwall on the morn ing of the 2d inst., and on the afternoon of the same day came alongside the - railroa - d . company's wharf generally used by this line, and commenced dis charging her cargo. Nearly, if not all, the local freight had been delivered, when, about 7 o'clock on the morning of the 3d, a terrific explosion occurred on board, which tore away the upper parts of the ship and blew several large plates off the side. The wharf at which the vessel was unloading, and which was some 400 feet long, was literally torn to pieces, _ _ the superstructure was completely demolished to within 100 feet of the freight-house, and hardly a plank remained in the entire length of the structure that was not wrenched from its fastenings. Imme diately in front of where thevessel laya gap was cut through the wharf, piles, planking, &c., all disap pearing. The ship and wharf both caught fire, and the latter was saved from entire destruction only by the exertions of several citizens, who got the fire engine to work, and after a few hours extinguished the flames, regardless of the risk they incurred from another explosion of the burning ship. The Panama Railroad Company's freight house is left a pile of ruins. The force of air caused by the concussion seems, to have raised the roof, which was constructed of iron and slate, upwards a few feet, its own weight bringing it down with immense force into the build ing, and carrying with it both the end walls, leav ing the house, except the side walls, which appear but little if at all injured, a mass of ruins. It would be difficult to imagine a more complete wreck than that presented by the freight house and wharf. Scarcely a building in the place escaped without more or less damage, those of a substantial nature suffering most; nearly all the brick and stone build ings were badly injured, but the freight house is the only one we have beard of which has been rendered uninhabitable. Hardly a whole window of glasi re mains in the city, and the destruction of glassware, crockery, and such like is really wonderful. Although many vessels were lying in close proximity to the European at the time of the disaster, none, except ing the Carribean of the same line, sustained any serious damage. The last named vessel was moored at the opposite side of the wharf from the Europeah and received very serious injury. Her hull exter- nally appears untozched, but the effect of the con cussion internally was very severe. We are assured that some immense iron girders nearly 12in. deep were snapped off like a pipe stem, 13 of her frames were broken, and knees and braces of the heaviest timber were torn from their places. The strain on the ship must have been of immense force, and nothing hut the superior build and structure of the vessel saved her from being knocked to pieces. All her boats, and in fact everything of a fragile nature, were rendered useless. The most awful part of the catas trophe was the dreadful loss of life and suffering at tending it. Of the number of killed and missing it is impossible to give a correct estimate, but from pre sent data the number may safely be put down at 50, and is, we fear, more likely to prove over this number than under it. Of the 41. men comprising the crew of the European nine have been killed, and 12 are missing. Two clerks engaged oa the wharf, Mr. Swainson, of the West India and Pad& Steamship Company, and Mr. Calvo, of the - Panama Railroad Company, were both instantly killed, and of 13 natives sor Jamaicans employed on the wharf and in the freight-house, none are supposed to have been saved ; -besides it is believed a small gang of native labourers who had gone on board the unfortunate steamer, have met the fate of the others. It will be several days before a correct estimate can be made of the loss. Many bodies were no doubt thrown into the water and picked up by sharks, while others are still buried beneath the ruins of the freight-house and wharf, or went down with theill- fated ship. The scene in Aspinwall after the first explosion cannot be described•--it was harrowing in the extreme. While the ruins gave an air of de solation to the place, the mangled and lacerated bodies, or pieces of bodies, to be met with in every direction for a great distance around the ruin of the disaster were heartrending, and the suffering of the poor mortals crushed and bruised, in whom life was not extinct, was really dreadful. Fears being en tertained that a second explosion would occur, and as the cause of the disaster was still unknown, and none of the officers or crew of the ship were left who could give any explanation of its cause, it was thought best to have the burning ship towed into the stream. The Royal Mail steamship Tamar, Captain Moir, which had arrived the previous evening, immediately got up steam and prepared to tow out the burning ship, but before this could be accomplished another explosion took place, though not of sufficient force to cause, any injury. It was supposed to be the magazine, which contains a small quantity of powder for ship's use. The Tamar then made fast to the burning hulk and towed her out. The two vessels had barely reached the oppo- site side of the bay when another explosion more terrific than the first occurred, but fortunately, the ship being far from the city and in deep water, no harm resulted. The last explosion is supposed to have broken up the bull, as in less than half an hour after it occurred the unfortunate ship went down. The top of her smoke stack is the only part now visible. At first the cause of the explosion was wrapped in mystery, and, as no one was saved from the wreck who could give any satisfactory explana tion, all was left to conjecture. A boiler explosion was impossible, as there was no steam on the main boiler, and there was no necessity to use the engines, as the shiphad been lying at the wharf over 18 hours discharging cargo. Gunpowder seemed most plausi ble, but there was none known to be on board, ex cept a few pounds in the magazine for ship's use, which could not possibly cause so much destruc tion. If any were on board it must be under a false bill of lading, as none appeared in the ship's manifest. .resides, it seemed impossible 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 70 cases of glonoine, or nitro glycerine, one of the most powerful explosive agents known at the present day, was on board under an ordinary bill of lading. This at once cleared up the mystery. This compound is used for blasting pur poses, and was shipped from Liverpool for Cali fornia. It is, we understand, of a similar composi tion, if not the same, as a barrel or box of oil which exploded in Greenwich-street, New York, a short time ago. It will be remembered the package was accidentally dropped on the street, and immediately . exploded, tearing down two or three largo buildings and damaging many othe r s. The amount of damage caused by the explosion is roughly esti mated at $1,000,000, which is about the lowest figure at which it can be placed. The wounded, so far as found, have all been well cared for, and nothing has been left undone that could add to their comfort. Many of the pOor fellows had to undergo severe surgical operations. Several only survived a few hours after re ac hi ng th e h osp i ta l . S ome remark able inst ances occurred in which property appa rently expo se d t o t h e full force of the concussion escaped uninjured, while so me l ess ex p ose d was de stroyed. O ne of the most remarkable was that of the American brig Kremlin, of the Boston Ice Com pany, which lay not more than 100 feet astern of the European, immediately between her and the freight-house. The brig escaped almost uninjured, her deck cabin was strained a few inches out of place, while the freight-house is a complete ruin. Fortunately at the tim e of .the ac c id en t o n ly four of the clerks connect e d with the freight department in Aspinwall were at ;their posts. Two on the wharf, as stated above, were instantly killed, the other two, Mr. Burnham and Mr. Forman, were in the freight-house, but with wonderful presence of mind One climbed ove r a car an other stepped into a doorway, and both were saved. The balance of the clerks were in the neighb ourhood of the tieket=office, see i n g th e train start for Pauanin sheltered roof himself fallin g , i n while the on d seeing the which had been detained nearly half an hour behind time, and thus saved the lives o►f most of the young men connected with the freight offices. Immediately on the news of the accident being received in Pa nama a special train was despatched, taking over medical aid. Dr. W. Little, United States Consul at this port ; Dr. Maxwell, United States fleet sur geon ; and Dr. Riecker, Panama Railroad Com pany's surgeon, at once volunteered their services. Dr. Kratothwil and Dr."Burchard, of this city, and Dr. Vallejo, of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com pany's steamer Golden Age, went over in the after noon, and all of these gentlemen have been actively engaged in rendering medical aid to the wounded. In the afternoon the remains of 12 of the victims were conveyed to the Mount Hope Cemetery near Aspinwall, and the remains of others who died afterwards were interred yesterday. The remains of the Commander of the European, Capt. Cole, were also buried with Masonic honours yesterday, several of the officers of the line being members of the British Naval Reserve Corps, Commander M'Diarmid, of the United States steamer James Adger, wished to show proper respect to the re mains_ of those who perished on the unfortu nate ship, by accompanying the funeral procession with his officers and men, for which purpose per mission was asked by Consul Rice from the autho rities to perniit them landing, but this was only allowed as private citizens, the authorities refusing permission for them to carry their arms. Great praise is due to all those who rendered such valuable services on this trying occasion, and especially to the conduct of the gallant officers of the Royal West India mail packet Tamar, whose exertions to stop the spread of the disaster were invaluable. "The following is an official report of the lives lost, so far as known last evening, from the explosion on the European :—Known to be killed on ship— Captain Cole, Mr. Glass, chief officer ; Mr. Parson, second officer ; Dr. Burrows, surgeon ; Edward Davis, carpenter ; W. Pritchard, sailor; J. A. Young, sailor ; W. Beremond, sailor ; and Richard, cabin boy. Also missing from ship-12. Killed on shore—Mr. Calvo, Mr. Swainson, and 19 others. Total killed and missing-42. The number of missing from shore has not been definitely ascertained." Association in Aid of the Deaf and Dumb. The annual general meeting of this association was held on Saturday last at Willis's-rooms, King- street, St..James's. Sir J. Pakington, M.P., pre sided ; and among those present d -F-bury, Lord Portman, Lord J. Manneer4,Deputy-Judge Payne, the Rev. A. Blomfield, the Bev. J. Rowsell, &c. The Rev. A. IL Baker, hon. secretary, read the report. The objects of the association are to provide extended religious and secular instruction among the deaf and dumb throughout the metropolis after they have quitted school ; to visit them at their own homes ; to assist those of them who have good characters in obtaining employment ; to relieve, either by gifts or loans of money, the deserving or necessitous among them; and to encourage the early training of deaf and dumb children prepara tory to their admission into educational institu tions. This was the work which the association aimed to do among the 2,000 deaf mutes of London. Its income, however, being only £5OO a year, is totally inadequate to occupy so large a field open to it. A special fund is- being raised for building a , place of worship with a room for adult evening classes, lectures, &c., the cost of which is estimated at £3,500—£2,300 having already been received and promised, including £5O from her Majesty the Queen. The chairman, in opening the proceedings, observed that, perhaps, among all the afflictions to which human nature was subject there was not one more touching or affecting than the double priva tion endured by the deaf and the dumb. A visit to one of those interesting asylums where the deaf and dumb were educated by means of sign language must serve to strike withwonder any one on behold ing the success of those appliances by which the inability to hear and to speak were effectually over come. The affliction must be very great, even in the case of those who were in a state of affluence, but how mach more severe must be the privation to those who were in a condition of poverty and destitution! It was to relieve, therefore, and to mitigate the dis tress of such persons that the exertions of the society were required. Lord John Manners moved that the report be received and adopted, and in the course of a very impressive speech said there were few, he supposed, who had arrived at his time of life who had not put to themselves the question that if, by the dispensation of Providence, they should be de prived of the sense of sight, or of hearing, or of speech, should 'they be able to bear the privation with Christian resignation? He feared few of them would be able to answer that question satisfactorily to their own conscience. Although, therefore, he believed that in many cases when any great affliction bcfel individuals God in his infinite mercy did enable the sufferers to bear with resignation and patience the afflicting dispensation, yet human kindness and Christian sympathy were, nevertheless, in all such cases powerfully appealed to, and therefore he re joiced at the conviction that the principle of the association had already, by the blessing of God, been the means of affording comfort, consolation, and relief to many of the 2,000 persons who in this me tropolis were afflicted with the privation of speech and hearing. The motion was seconded by Depu ty- Judge Payne, and supported by Mr. R. N. F o wler , , • 's cordial a resolution, expressing the meeting ' s and agreed to. The Rev. Mr. Blomfield then moved g the association, ap proval of the objects and workiu g to obtain for it and pledging itself to endeavour in creased support, which was i Rowsell, and unanimiolhuse toy the chairman, congratu , in lated a vote of thanks friends of the association on fated the manager adopted.

In the meantime, it was their duty to render the sign laguage as perfect as possible. It was daily undergoing improvement; and by the encouraging this association they - were encouraging also the means of bringing that lan guage to perfection. Lord Lyttelton seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation. Sir John Pakington returned thanks, and the meeting terminated. left Jamaica on the 28th ult., with troops for the coast of,Africa, via Honduras:- The Wolverine, 21, - - :Cart- poehrane, left Ja.maica for Nassau, ri Vie 30th ult., with troops.

Harvey, lately Commodore of the south division of the British fleet in the Pacific, who has come home in the mail steamer Shannon, was entertained at dinner by the leading merchants of Valparaiso before leaving, and at all the ports on the voyage where he has been in the Leander he had most en thusiastic receptions. Admiral Harvey is succeeded in command of the Leander, and as Commodore of the south division of the squadron by Commodore De Courcey. Her Majesty's screw corvette Cameleon, 17 200 horse power (nominal), Commander T. M. Jones, was paid off into the third div i s i o n of the Chatham Steam Reserve, in the steam basin, on Saturd ay morning, at 8 o'clock, under the superintendence of Capt. W. K. Hall, C. 8., superintendent of the dockyard. Gratuities of £l5 each, and 'medals for long service and exemplary conduct, were awarded by the Admiralty to Win. Tinsley, boatswain's mate, and Joseph Harper, colour-sergt. Royal Marine Light Infantry ; a silver medal, without gratuity, was also awarded to Michael M'Gechin, ordinary seaman, for long service. The Cameleon has been in commission close upon five years, during which period she has been attached to the Pacific squadron. Her crew have been generally healthy, but only a few of the officers who originally joined the vessel when she was commissioned returned with her. Lieut. J. Bruce, senior lieut., who joined the Came leon from the Mutine, 17, 200 horse power, Com mander W. H. Blake, now serving in the Pacific, has.been honoured by having been twice publicly complimented by the Admiraly on the quarterdeck, and at the same time receiving the official appro bation of the Lords of Admiralty for the zeal, dis cretion, and gallantry he had displayed in the cap ture of deserters in San Francisco,:British Columbia, and Chorrera. On the Cameleon being paid off, the continuous service men were granted the usual leave of absence. From the length of time the Ca meleon has been in commission she will require some extensive repairs before she is again fit for sea. The detachments of the 42d, 91st, and 93d Highland Regiments, to the number of 118 men, of all ranks, which arrived at Gravesend from Ports mouth, have arrived on board the Stork steamer, for Edinburgh, there to join the service companies of their respective corps. On Friday the last portion of the 11th Hussars arrived at Colchester from Newcascle-on-Tyne. The regiment is now etationed in the Colchester cavalry barracks, awaiting orders to depart for India. The Earl of Cardigan is expected shortly to review the regiment. The following appointments were made on Thurs day at the Admiralty :—Commander E.
