DEPARTURE or TIE GREAT WFsIERN.-This IA
vori;e steamer sailed yesterday afternoon at two
O'Clock for Liverpool, with seventy-twop passengers,
about one half the numbers she can accommodate.
We stated yesterday that the Siddons and Vile
de Lyon carried nearly seventy passengers. We
now state that the owner Of the Siddons had to turn
of several applications, and that the owners OF the
Vile de Lyon were constrained to put up extra state
rooms.
The above two paragraphs present two curious
facts. Here we see a favorite and very successful
steam ship leave our shores with only half her COM
pliment of passengers, and two SAILING ships depart
with every berth filled.
What is the cause Of this! Is it because conf
dence in steam ships is shaken! Or is it because
this is the season for iceLergs to cover the Atlantic ?
We believe il is in consequence of the ice. Travel
lers to Europe having the fate of the President be-
fore them, act with more caution, and consequently
take passage ia one Of our fac fast sailing packets,
thinking'it bes, to keep clear of ice islands two hun
bred feet high, when they can, and not TO run into
| them at the rate of twelve miles per hour.
But the Great Western Company have no reason
to complain. Their ship has taken out a very large
number ofpassengers compared with the number Ia
ken in Cunard's steamers in the last three months
We'do verify believe therefore, that Cunard will send
his steamers TO New York before another year rolls
by. His ships are fine vessels, and he is an enter
prising man and it is unnecessary for him to lose
money any longer. Ifhe will make New York the
the depot for the "Cunard Line" instead Of Boston.
he will ard a difference in his receipts Immediately,
If he does not he will receive hardly money enough
to pay for his soup. 1t is well known that this city
is the centre of communication with the whole
world. OF this there is no mistake, and Cunard's
steamers will have 10 make it their American de-
pot. Wait and see.

AN Hous AT THE KREMLIN.-After sauntering
on the sunny side of Broadway, until that instinct
of the animal man, reminded us to seek I" mine
inn,'' and there resuscItate poor hungry nature by
partaking Of the goods the gods have sent US. A
question however arose, whom am0ngst the many
restaurateurs should we honor with our presence.
Happy thought IAN old crony, eminent for his
epicurian taste, had quietly limited the day before
that the "Kremlin" was now the "Very's" Of
Gotham, the FL Dorado of "bon vivants Ac-
cordingly we lean'd that way. Upon ascending q
flight of marble stairs, Of milky Wilderness, we
found ourself in the Sale a Manger. Ye gods !
what sumptuOus saloons met our astonished gaze.
Recovering in due course Of time our wonted pre-
sence of mind, and espyiog a country acquaintance
sippins from his Demi Tasse at one of the tables,
we seated ourself opposite him In a moment the
sarcon presented us with a bill OF fare, commeR-
cling with a potage 6 la Juliennc, and following
that, salmon with shrimp sauce, Riz de veau a la
and some three or four verltable entire
ments Francois, brought US to q pause. Throwing
ourself back in our chair, as a well fed gentleman
should, aad complying with a request from our
friend. to name several persons then in the salon,
who appeared to have distinguishing marks OF one
kind or another about them "and first, tell me-"
says he, " who that remarkable looking person is
eating greens so philosophicaily :, THAT is
Horace Greeny." "And who is that short stout
individual, who, EN- entering the room, had his Spa.
nish cloak so peculiarly thrown round his throat 2"
"That is the poet-general, and perpetrator Of
'Woodman, spare that Tree He don't seem
to spare that Riz de veau," remarked our friend.
"And whs is that tall, self satisfied looking gen.
tlsman with an eye-glsss, so singerly removing his
perfumed kid 7" "That is the man about
town." "Once more and you are released-who
is that aristocratic looking gentleman admiring
his whiskers in yon lofty mirror 2" THAT is
and walking up to the captains Office, where We
were again surprised at the very small charge for
our dinner, we babe adieu to these delightful
saloons.

DEMrsrER's LAST CONCERT -Denpster, the sweet
vocalist, tenor TO The reriebrG, gives his last concert
this evening, at the Society Library Rooms. This
is probably the last concerthe will give previous to
the commencement of the millennium, which the
Prophet Miller announces will begin en- the 10Y day
of May, 1912. Dempster sings some Of his best
songs. He is a handsome young man-unmarried
-modest-Scottish in birth-moral in nature-Pres
byterian in religion-and correct in every parlicu-
Lar. He sings the sweetest Scottish, or Irish, or old
Eoglish song that angels ever listened to. He loves
Burns as a brother, and is a musical gem of the first
water. Young ladies 90 and see the youth.

SyMpToMs-A terrible hail storm visited Peoria.
Illinois, on l2lh instant, and smashed in every wiE-
dow in the place. After the hail came a deluge of
rain, which cut the river landing and the streets into
gulleys and carried away much of the pavement.
The loss to the city is estimated at $1,000, and to
frederick Miller, whose Brewery was forcibly taken
possession of by water and gre al quantities Of beer
AMI ale swept away into the river, at also $1,000.
We regret the loss OF tn b Ger, particularly now, in
consequence Of the great waste of that erticle in
Rhode Island.

CONGRESS SPsrSe-SARArooA.-We learn, on the
est authority, that the waters Of this fsr-famed
spring have been completely renovated, by the in
sertlon Of a new tube, going down TO the rock from
which II springs. the old tube, having been in use
many years, had became decayed, and admitted
common water, which destroyed the qualities of the
mineral. A story has been published in the silly
"Daily Express" denying this fact-but the Express

WARRINGTON, WEDNESDAY, s p. M.
Proceedings In the two Eouses-Report OF
the secretary Of the Treasury or the Tn-
rin-The Senate OH nominations
In the Senate this morning, the Civil and Diplo-
matte Appropriation bill from the House was report
ed by Mr.. Evans, the chairman OF the Finance
Committee. The amendments OF the Senate COM
mit,ee with the bill were ordered to be printed, and
the bill comes up tomorrow. There was a large
amount of petitions, memorials, &c, presented and
referred.
A very small breeze then arose about the Rhode
Island affair, which was soon allayed. Mr.. Allen,
of Ohio, has a resolution on the table calling upon
the President for information on the subject, and
there was an attempt made to get it up, but without
effect. Mr.. Calhoun and Mr.. Allen avowed the
opinion that the course adopted by the executive
was calculated to produce civil war. Some little
feeling was then manifested among the wings bat
there was no action, and the resolution still sleeps
upon the table; Mr.. Allen, however, gave notice
that he would to morrow renew the motion to take
it up. The calendar of private bills was then taken
up, and the appearance 10 that the day will be spent
upon it.
The House is upon the Apportionment bill The
subject nf debate to-day has been the amendment
proposed by the Committee on Elections to d.
vide the several States into Congressional dis
tricts: The ratio of representation last adopted
is 80, l79. and this, or something very near it, will
probably be ultimately agreed upon, go far as the
House is concerned. This, if adopted, will give
an increase of ~sixty-four representatives. The
following table exhibits the present number, and also
the number under that proposed -

PACKET SHIP Louis PHnLIppE.-The probability
is that this ship will be lost. Should she be saved,
it will be "by the merest luck" If assistance had
been sent the momeit the news of her going ashore
reached this city, she would now be lying at her
berth in the North River.
The wreckers succeeded at one time in lessening
the wafer in her, by means of Benefits steam pump,
five feet, when that efficient machine was thumped
out ~ofplace by some mismanagen ent with the chains
and cables, and she filled and settled again. This
speaks well for the pump, but not for those who
have undertaken to get the ship off.
Intelligence of her being ashore was known to the
underwriters in this city twenty three hours before
any steps were taken to send her assistance. Her
was such when she Grst struck the beach
that had Benefits pump, and proper cables been
sent down without delay. the Louis Philippe,
worth $40, coo, would have been saved.
- We think that some new system for getting yes
sells off shore should be Immediately adopted.
