of BUTLER in such a post is the best commentary
that can be given of the spirit in which LINCOLN
intends carrying on the war. The interest of the
news at present centres in SHERMAN'S proceed-
ings, to which we shall most likely have
a clue by the next mail, whose arrival may
therefore be looked for with interest.

We may sometimes be thankful to a catastrophe
of moderate extent for having saved us from a great
and appalling one, and in this sense, while deplor-
ing the deaths of the unfortunate victims of the
Erith explosion, we may congratulate ourselves
that public attention was not called to the unsatis-
factory condition of our arrangements for the con-
veyance and storage of powder, by a disaster a
hundred times greater. We might have been
roused from our indifference by a catastrophe like
that at Holmfiith, when the list of victims was
numbered, not by two and three, but by hundreds,
only that situated as our powder magazines too
often are in the close vicinity of densely populated
districts, the hundreds might have been reckoned
by tens. The jury who investigated the case, very
properly resolved upon taking some practical steps
towards remedying the evils which had come under
their notice, and accordingly they appended a
resolution to their verdict calling the attention of
the acts relating to the gunpowder trade, and
stating some of the points on which they considered
immediate legislation to be necessary. This re.
solution was laid before the Home Secretary on
Friday by the coroner and some members of the
jury, and Mr. CABTTAR informed Sir GEORGE GREY
of several facts which came out in evidence sup-
porting these views, and pointed out the great
danger incurred from the erection of powder
magazines in populous places, and also from the
recklessness with which powder is shipped on board
steamers when sparks were flying from their
funnels. The points which especially require legi-
slative interference in the opinion of the jury are

the quantity of powder stored at one time or cons
veyed in any manner—the situation in which ma-
gezines are constructed—the necessity of powder
barges bearing some distinctive mark—the shipping
and discharge of powder—the importance of Go-
vernment inspection—and the penalties for infring-
ing the laws relating to the subject. A converses
tion on the subject convinced Sir GEORGE GREY
that interference was necessary, and it is to be
hoped he will introduce some sound practical mea-
sure. The fact that men grow reckless in propor.
tion to the greatness and frequency of the risks
they run has been abundantly proved in mines and
other places, where it is almost impossible to secure
a due observance of the proper rules of caution.
There is at present no security, however stringent
the rules made by the proprietors of such establish-
ments, that men will not smoke, light fires, &c., on
board the barges when laden ; but if a thorough
system of Government inspection is organised some
responsible person will probably be sent in charge
of every barge, waggon, or train by which powder
is conveyed. Again, it should certainly not be
suffered that so dangerous a trade should be carried
on in very populous places, nor near river walls,
reservoirs, and other sources of danger. The ex-
plosion at Belvedere might hava produced most
direful consequences, and it is no reason because
we have escaped comparatively lightly this time
that we should disregard the warning for the future.
An Att for amending the laws relating to the
storage, package, and conveyance of gunpowder
and other exvlopive materials should certainly be
one of the first measures introduced in the coming
Session.

Fatal Shipwrecks.

Nearly simultaneous with the distressing wreck of the

Aberdeen and London steamer Stanley at Tynemouth, on
Thursday night, an equally terrible and still more fatal dis-
aster befel the Dundee and Newcastle steamer Dalhousie,

haptain H. K. Glenny, at the entrance of the Firth of Tay,

on her journey home. There is, unhappily, no survivor to
tell the tale of this new calamity, and it can only be con-

lectured that the unfortunate ship, commanded though she

was by an able captain who knew the coast and channel
well, was so heavily beaten by the terrific seas as to be cast
upon the sands of Abertay, where she foundered and went
to pieces, the crew and passengers being beyond reach of
human help. About half-past 10 o'clock on Thursday night
the master of the steamer London, of the Dundee and Lon.
don service, on coming into the Firth, saw a rocket dis-
charged from a point near the lights of 'i'ay, but from the
darkness and rain he could not distinguish the object nor
observe the precise spot. " Keeping on his way" (says the
_Dundee Advei tiser) "he saw nothing else till he got inside
the Buoy of Tay, when he observed a blue light, bearing
about N. W. by W. up- n the Abertay Sands. He saw three
blue lights in succession at the same place, there being an
interval of a minute or two between each, and the whole
time not being more than from five to eight minutes. This
was about 20 minutes or half an hour after the rocket had
been observed, but Captain Rattray could not, from the at-
tention he had given to the position of his own vessel, be
sure of the exact time, He saw nothing more tending to
excite alarm, but proceeded with all speed to the harbour.

When he reached the Roads he immediately sent a mes-
sagr on shore to the harbour master, Captain Jack, to say
that he feared there was some vessel in danger on the Aber-
tay Sands. Captain Jack, on receipt of this message, at
once despatched his watchman to bring the captains of the
two tug steamers, which were as soon as possible sent
down the river to render what assistance might be in
their power. The Hercules was the first to reach Broughty
Ferry, and there Captain W. Soutar gave the alarm,
and the lifeboat—the Mary 'tartly was at once
launched, and was taken in tow by the steamer. In the
meantime the Samson had passed her companion and fell in
with a schooner, the David and John of Montrose, which
was in distress, It was then thought that it was from this
vessel that signal of distress had been made, and observing
no sign of the more fatal disaster that had taken place, the
steamer, after rescuing the crew of the David John (which
is believed to have afterwards sunk) returned to the harbour.
The Dalhousie was an iron vessel of 156 tons and 60 horse
power, and was built in 1861 by Messrs Gourley Brothers,
Dundee, especially for this trade. She left Newcastle on
Wednesday morning, about 10 o'clock, for Dundee, having
on board 12 passengers (so far as has been ascertained), 12
of a crew, including the captain, and 172 tons of general
cargo. She was expected to arrive in Dundee about mid-
night on Thursday. lip to Friday forenoon there was no
appearance of her, and about 1 o'clock Mr Crighton, Lloyd's
agent, who had gone to Broughty Ferry in the morning for
the purpose of looking after a vessel on shore there, re-
turned with the intelligence that the Dalhousie was be-
lieved to have gone on shore on the banks at the mouth of
the river during the night, and to have become a total wreck.
The report he immediately communicated to the office of the
Shipping Company, and Mr Inglis, the agent, at once has-
tened to Tayport to ascertain what truth there might be in
the rumour. The fears entertained for the safety of the ves-
sel were but too cruelly confirmed, for Mr Inglis learnt on
arriving at Tayport that two bodies, believed to be those of
men who had been on board the Dalhousie, had been found,
and that pieces of wreck, mai ked so as to leave no doubt of
their identity, were strewn along the beach. Going towards
the spot where it was said the bodies were found, Mr
Inglis met a cart containing two bodies, one of which he
identified as that of Captain Glenny, and the other as that
of one of the crew named Thomas Bissett. Captain Glenny
had his short pilot cloth coat tightly buttoned, and was
without his boots, which he had no doubt taken off in
the hope of swimming. Mr John A. Turnbull, mill-
wright, Newport, states that he had been at Tayport on
business at an early hour that morning, and that about
halt-past 10 o'clock, when he was leaving the farm of Kin-
shaldy, where he had called, the shepherd came running in
and said that there was a body down on the beach and a lot
of wreck. Mr Turnbull immediately rode off in the direce
tion indicated, and the first object which attracted his at-
tention was a battered ship's boat. At this point the coast
is very shallow, and after the sea had retired the surf runs
in for a long way, so that the boat, although aground, was
lying at some distance from the shore. After entering the
surf for about 200 yards, Mr Turnbull reached the boat, and
saw on her stern the name ' Henry K. Grlenny.' The other
parts of the stern, on which, in all probability, would be the
name Dalhousie, was broken off. About 50 yards to the
south of the spot where the boat lay Mr Turnbull saw the
body of a man. It was lying face downwards, so that ho
could not describe it, but it appeared to be that of a sailor.
There was no lifebelt on it. Proceeding still further to the
acuth he observed strewn along the shore a number of casks,
chests, deck furnishings, pails, the companion of the cabin,
the compass cheat, and other articles of that sort. About
300 yards further on Mr Turnbull saw a second dead body,
on which were two life belts, with Dalhousie, Dundee,'
marked on them. This body was also lying on its face, but
from the glance which Mr Turnbull had of it, the descrip-
gBlbil k•lif that theC`; einnri;ifalreYCrli oi
ft
t4.laes latest::
wards proved to be. Proceeding still along the coast Mr
Turnbull saw some casks and parcels of goods, but the ad-
dresses on the whole of them had been washed off.
From the fearfully complete nature of the disaster, no
account can be given of the manner in which the wreck oc-
curred, but it seems to be the general opinion of nautical
men who are well acquainted with the spot and with the
difficulties of the navigation at the mouth of the Tay that
when rounding the Abertay Sands, in order to take the en-
trance to the river, a heavy sea struck and submerged the
vessel, putting out the fires, and rendering the vessel un-
manageable and helpless among the breakers, so that she
drifted on the sands and speedily became a wreck. The
passengers in such a stormy night would most naturally be
below, and would thus be without the slightest chance of
escape. It would appear, from the fact of the bodies of the
Captain and Bissett having floated ashore together, that at
the time of the wreck they had been standing on the bridge
from which the vessel was steered, Bissett in all probability
being helmsman, and Captain Glenny, as was always his
custom, keeping a sharp and eager look out. The wreck
lies between two and three miles off shore opposite Tents-
=lir and Kinshaldy farmhouse; and on Friday the meats
and a portion of the rigging could be distinctly seen, but
the hull was completely submerged, even at low water. She
is on the north end of the Broch bank—a long strip of sand
about two miles off the shore, which stretches from the deep
water known as " the Pool," down to the mouth of the
Eden. That she must have been some short time in distress
is evident by the firing of the rockets; and if Captain Rat-
ray's statement of the time he observed that Meg be cor-
rect, there must have been some time of suspense—because
Captain Glenny's watch stopped at half-past 12.
The names of the passengers, as nearly as could be ascer-
tained by telegram from Newcastle, are:—After cabin, Mr
and Mrs Cleveland and two children, and Mr Robertson
fore-cabin—Mrs Reid, Mrs Davidson, Messrs Dewry, Bal-
four, Fornmey (or Tornmay), M'Laren and M'Leod.
Through the loss of the captain and crow nine wives have
been made widows and about 40 children orphans by the
sad calamity. The following shows the names and circum-
stances of the crew t—Captain Glonny, left widow and child
—Allan Ramsay, mate, left widow—David Roeine, seaman,
widow and six children—David Gilchrist, steward, David
Forbes, engineer, and George Jenkins, seaman, each left
widow and five children—Thomas Bissett, engineer, left
widow and three children—Frederick Low and Robt. Scott,
seaman, and David Taylor, fireman, each left widow and
two children—Alexander Mlles, fireman, was unmarried,
but the only support of an aged mother ; and the twelfth
in the list of the crew was John Macdonald, a boy.

IMPORTANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES.
WINfERTON, near GREAT YARINIOUTII,
Nov. 27.

The Rev, J. Nelson reports :—'"The brig John, of
Hartlepool, drove on shore during the night of the 24th
inst., in a violent gale from the E.S.E. She was discovered
at daylight, with the sea running over, and the crew in the
rigging. The coastguard immediately proceeded to htr
with the rocket apparatus. The National Institution's
lifeboat was also manned by the beachmen and launched,
and was fortunately the means of rescuing the crew of six
men from their perilous position. The lifeboat behaved
well, and the crew express great confidence in her."
DUNDEE, Nov. 25.

A vessel was reported to be on shore this morning (says
J. Hunter, jun., E Eq,) while the sea was running very
heavily. As soon as the crew of the Broughty Ferry (the
Mary Hartley) lifeboat of the National Institution were in-
formed of this, they immediately launched the lifeboat, and
proceeded in tow of a steamer to the assistance of the crew
of the stranded vessel, but, unfortunately, they could lied
no traces of the ship. However, while they were on the
look-out, they discovered, the schooner David and John,
of Montrose, in distress. The schooner entered the Tay
last night, and when her crew of four men were rescued by
the lifeboat, Elio was riding at anchor at No, 2 Buoy, and
was rolling very much in the heavy surf, and it was feared
she would go down. Indeed, a few hours after the crew
were taken off, the wreck lost her mut and disappeared.
PADSTOW, CORNWALL, NOV. 26.

This morning, reports the Rev. Richard Tyacka, in a
N.W. gale, a vessel was sighted off Trevose Head, making
for Padstow Harbour, Tho Padstow lifeboat of the
National Institution was launched with all possible speed
to her assistance. She was found to be the Elizabeth of
Llano]ly. Although not required to save the crew, she re-
mained in attendance on the vessel, along with a six-
oared galley, tacking the warps from the cap-
stan, of the Padstow Harbour Association, and
rendering assistance in pumping out the vessel, and
did not leave her until she was in a safe position. The ap-
pliances of the Harbour Association were, in a great mea-
sure, the means of saving the vessel. In the meantime,
another vessel, the Marie Estella, of Nanter, was seen run-
ning fur the harbour, and the lifeboat crew remained in
their position in readiness to render her assistance, but
happily, under the guidance from the shore of experienced
persons belonging to the port, she entered the harbour in
safety. _ _

-Diz rYIiE3I9I.IIIA LIZEDQA.Th-A law lifeboat has iLLI-

mediately been sent io Tynemouth to rep!aeo the disabled
boat. The new lifeboat will probably be at Tynemouth this
day (Monday). The National Institution has also sent
£26 to the lifeboat crew for their gallant but unsuccessful
exertions on the night of the 25th inst. We may add that
the case of the two noble fellows who unfortunately
perished by jumping out of the lifeboat on that
awful occasion, will be considered at the next general
meeting of the National Lifeboat Institution. The two
poor men have unhappily loft two widows and nine children
to lament their loss.

BERNE. Nov. 23.

The following are the principal passages of the
farewell letters addressed by Dr Hermann Ihmtne
and his bride, Madlle, Trumpy, to their relatives :
" Fribourg, Nuv. 13.
" Dear relatives and brothers—l kno w well that
the news of my death, announced in this letter,
will cause you deep grief ; but I also know the t the
unalterable love which you bear me will answer the
prayer I address to you for forgiveness. The act, of
hich this sheet announces the accomplishment,
has not been executed hastily, but with calm
reflection, and after an attentive examination
of all the circumstances. My existence is
shattered by the terrible events of this year.
I did not wish to abandon life without a struggle
I wished that my conscious innocence should tri-
umph, despite all the terrible complications wl'.ich
have supervened. And for that I have persevered
so long as my honour and that of my family were
threatened ; but never can I recover from those
wounds which my honour as a medical man so un-
justly suffered at the hands of the tribunal My
enemies are not satisfied;with all the misery they
have heaped upon me this year; they have perse-
cuted me to the last moment, and have even sought
to tear from my side her, who with me has faithfully
supported all these troubles, and whom I have
vainly supplicated to abstain from taking this final
step with me. That I should never have been
happy after what I have suffered ; that the honour
of our name is safe; that much as I have enjoyed
liberty, I have not wasted my life, but have em•
ployed it in working with a good conscience. These
considerations ought to be a consolation for us, my
dear relatives. My separation from you has been

terribly grievous to me, but it is inevitable. Re-
ceive my thanks for the love, fc•'" the sacrifices you
have made for me. Forgive me the annoyance I
have caused you. Do not lament us, we who have
loved faithfully unto death.
"Daar Relations—l bequeath unto you all I pos-
sess, and beg you only to give to each of my faith-
ful friends a remembrance. Give to each of my
brothers that which will be useful to him. I re-
quest you to give my collection of pathological
anatomy to the town of Wurtzbnrg, the town in
which my dear father passed the most important
years of his life, and which has always
been so dear to me. Let a few earnest and loving
words accompany this gift. Send my manuscript
to B—, with the request that he will find some
one who will be able to continue it and dispose of
it. In case my father shall have a worthy suc-
cessor in his practice, let my galvano-caustic appa*
ratus be given to him ; otherwise, it is to remain
with my family. To you, with a farewell from my
heart, I bequeath the clock•on the mantelpiece,
which has counted the saddest hours of my life.
You understand that at this grave moment I cannot
think of all. I trust to the wisdom of my relatives
to supply what I shall have forgotten. If, dear re-
latives and brothers, you keep me in remembrance
—if you do not regard my deed as a cowardice, but
as the energetic action of a wounded, of an incur-
able man—l shall be content. I have borne patiently
that which it is possible to bear, even of the most
terrible kind. I have not trembled. Death, after
the triumph of innocence, can give no place to an.,

sad interpretation. I would gladly carry away
with me the assurance of your forgiveness.
But that cannot be. Adieu, my dear relatives!
Adieu, my beloved brothers Adieu, uty faithful
friends ! Can you find strength to support this
news, and not allow yourselves to be crushed by it ?
Preserve 3 ourselves, my dear relatives, for my
brothers who need you. Recall with love your

Hermann.

this letter ready. Adieu, most intimate friend of
my heart; forgive, forgive, an unfortunate !
"Lausanne.—We have arrived at Lausanne, and
are going to Geneva, our last station. The exeeu•-
tion of the final deed will be as follows :—We shall
take a walk and enter a coat on the lake, from
which we shall jump into the water. Perhaps
we shall execute our project at a deep point we
know of in the river in such a manner that our
bodies will not be found. But that will be as may
seem most convenient to us. Adieu those I love !
These words will be the last. Keep me in loving
remembrance. Forgive me."
The following letter was found on the 21st No-
vember in the desk of Mdlle. Flora :
" To my dear father and mother-in-law.—l thank
you—l thank you with all my soul—for the good-
will you have for me, for all the love you have
shown to me—to me, poor abandoned child ! I shall
never, probably, be able to repay, for I have resolved
to quit this world with Hermann. The goodness I
have found in him is quite worth a life, and will not
allow me to repent. Forgive the misfortune which
my poor relations have brought upon you. Forgive
them for love of me, who would willingly compen-
sate every bitter hour by a double love and a double
veneration. I can no more. Adieu, my dear and
good relations. God, the omnipotent and all merci-
ful, in which we all believe, will not forget you, and
will reward for all, Your grateful daughter,

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF
THE CHEST, BROMPTON.--The quarterly court of
governors of this valuable charity was held on Thursday in
the board-room of the hospital—the Rev. Sir Henry Fou
Bart„ vice-president, in the chair. Amongst the governors
present were Lieutenant-General the Hon. Thomas Ash-
burnhem, C. 8,, the Hon. J. W. Percy, Captain the Hon.
Francis Maude, R.N., Mr J. H. Wilson, Mr John Ball,
Mr Beaumont Hankey, Mr W. Thomas, Mr T. M. Bridge,
Dr Dickson, Dr Quoin, and Dr Edward Smith. The usual
preliminary business having been gone through, the report
of the committee of management was read by the secretary.
It stated that since the last meeting of governors advan-
tage had been taken of the fine weather, and of the less
urgent demands upon the accommodation of the hospital in
the latter months of summer, to effact the necessary re-
pairs, colouring, and whitewashing to the west wing. The
whole of the external wood and iron work of the building
had also been painted. The extra beds, increasing the
accommodation to 210 beds, has again been filled up for
the winter months ; and, on account of the number
and urgency of the applications, it had been determined, as
was the case last year, to take the step at a comparatively
early period of the season. The out-patients' department
had also continued its work of uqefulness in an undimi-
nished degree. The committee had still the satisfactory
assurance that many persons whilst waiting admission
derived so much benefit from the out-door treatment that
they were enabled to resume the duties of life, and
avoid the interruption that a residence in the hospital
would involve. The increased price of provisions and
some important articles of consumption, cod liver oil in
particular, necessarily added to the cost of maintaining this
large establishment. The committee gratefully noticed the
number of new annual subscriptions which were from time
to time added to the list. But as this valuable source of
income represented scarcely half the yearly expenses, the
need of further contributions, whether as subscriptions,
donations, or legacies, must still be constantly urged upon
the benevolent. The importance of purchasing the freehold
of the land on which the hospital stands had' long been felt,
and at times referred to, The committee hoped by the mat
court to be in a position to report the attainment of this
desirable object. With the view of filling up the vacan-
cies amongst the trustees of the "Rose Fund," the com-
mittee recommended the appointment of the following gen-
tlemen, in conjunction with Mr Otho Hamilton, the pre-
sent surviving trustee—viz , the Rev. Sir H. Pouliot Bart.
(chairman of the committee of management), Mr H. S
Thornton (treasurer of the hospital), and Mr U. R. Ryder
(chapel warden). Information of the following legacies had
been received by the committee since the last court—viz.,
Mr W. A. Goldsmith, £lO lOs ; Mr T. Halsted, £2OO (duty
free) ; Mrs C. Watts, £5O, Consols. The number of in-
patients admitted since Aug. 11 was 300—discharged (many
greatly benefited), 232—died, 66—new out-patients, 2,020.
The report having been unanimously adopted, and a reso-
lution appointing the new Rose Fund trustees having been
carried, the proceedings concluded with a cordial vote of
thanks to the chairman,

the Wizard has invited, or intends to invite, to his AeetiS

complete ovation. The application for seats were bt31,1,
all precedent, and the " management" deter Stayed
to convert nearly the whole of the pit int° eeefe
The consequence was that when the doors were 7teltv
several hundred people, who had been waiting 1)4 1010
in a storm of wind and rain outside, were nlO

for the pittites, with an invitation to the disalfic"t,
go up into the gallery; and the latter aerangataelifero
course, prevented the admission of scores of the legal
"gods." Crowds of people went away, and ta°', 0:14
