THE HUNGARIAN'S PASSENOE4g,

Several of our citizens, whose families and friends are
werwhelmed with. anxiety for their fate. Nothing had
.3een seen of the ship's life-boats, of :which we learsfroar
►.fessrs. Edmonstone, Allan, and Co., there were six -festy
;uperior ones on board, and; excepting a few spars and
t portion- of the niail bags; nothing had been washed
ashore from the wreck. • Among the p-anettgers, it is,

peen washed ashore from-the-wreck, and there are,' stilt
some grounds for hoping that all- may rot have been!
lost; and that the life,-boats, which would live in almost
any sea, may yet prove to have been the means of saving
some of the unfortunates, when the doomed vessel met
!ler fate: When, however, we consider that she went
Ashore during the night, and that no trace of any of the'
boats has yet been found, our hopes in this alirectioni
are,, we confess, slea4er.-'—.ll-ontreal Herald.
The Edinburgh Evening Courant states that three of
he passengers of this•
rill-fated steamer went free;
Glasgow, the Rev. Janie* Stuart and Mr. and Mrs.
Balmer. Mr. Stuart, who &longed no.- Glasgow, had
been appointed by the Colonial Committee' of the.
General Assembly to A-position in Canada, and vane
on his way to that country. Mr. BaTinei, as Canadian
merchant, arrived in Glasgow a short time gg.o., and'
was married to a Glasgow lady. He was tab"; his.
bride to her new home when this terrible eallitoitY.
overtook them.

!Barney Williams, the well-known comic actor, is Caw
sidered a dangerous character at Atlanta, Georgia, Or",
the score of Abolition sentiments, and has been warns

to leave the city for his own safety.
City passenger tramway-s began running in Philadel-
phia in 1858. On the Ist .of January, 1860, there
were fourteen lines in and through the city and subrirkt
averaging seven miles each; or 105 miles united, log
which,. for cost and equipment, nearly"ten millions at
dollars were invested. The shares of the lines are at
120 per cent. premium.

singular compliment on Friday-to-Mr. Gladstone's budge!
speech. " I listened to the right henOurable:genitlem an,
he said, " for four hours without winking." The house•

POST-omen Onorns.—Extensive changes are in con-
! templation on the -money-order system in connection:
with the Post-office. It is' understood that they will
comprise—firstly, an extension of the maximum amount
for which an order can be - obtained from its present
limit. of- £5 to £lO ; secondly, a new scale of rates ?f
charge, graduated from 3d. to ls. ; and an alteration iir
the mode of obtaining repayment or transfer of orders.
Those transfers, &c., will remain, as at present, subject
to a second charge ; but the public will be saved the
necessity of making application in such cases to the
' metropolitan offices,—Caledonian Mercury.
' INCREASE IN MARRIAGES.—There could not be a
' more tangible proof of the prosperity which the farm-
ing classes at present enjoy than the large increase in
weddings during the late Shrovetide. The number of
weddings in this locality during the 'merry season
has been large, but they fell far short of the number
, solemnised in the districts of Thurles, Nenagh, and
other places. The result has been, as the reader mar
infer, a considerable accession to the fees of the clergy',
