Our English papers give an account Of
terrible loss oil life, which occurred on
board Of the steamer Londonderry, which
left Sligo (Ireland) for Liverpool on the
lst Of last December, having on board l5O
emigrant passengers, most of whom inten-
ded taking passage for America. A vio-
lent gale arose during the trip, and in or
der to ensure safety Of the boat, the decks
were cleared and all the $50 poor emigrants
crowded into the fore-cabin, and the COM
panion-way fastened down tight. The
consequence was, that though the vessel
out rode the gale, the next morning, when
the matches were opened, seventy-two, or
nearly half, Of those who had been crowd
ed below, were found in the embrace Of
death! They had persisted by that most
awful Of means, suffocation, and the scene
presented in the cabin, when opened, is
described as horrifying in the extreme.
The Coroner's Jury have found the Off
GERS Of the vessel guilty Of manslaughter;
and have expressed in the strongest terms
their adherence of the inhuman conduct
ofthe other seamen on board, throughout
this unhappy occurrence-[Boston Tran

THE New EMPEROR OF AusrR1A.-The
present Emperor, in whose favor the old
Emperor abdicated, Dec. I'd, lS4S, was
born on the 18th of August, 1880. The
ex-Emperor Ferdinand has fixed upon
Prague as his place Of residence, and on
the day of his abdication he quilted o.
mutt to proceed there. He arrived at
Prague on the I'd, a. nearly midnight, when
the news Of his abdication was hardly
known there. Prince Schwartzenberg
made an announcement Of this intelligence
in the Assembly at Kremsier, where it
appears to have created considerable sur
prise. The Emperor Ferdinand was born
on the 18th Of April, 1893; was crowned
King of Hungary on the 23d Of Septem-
Der, 1886 King of Bohemia on the 7th of
September, 1886 !; and King Of Lcmbardy
and Venice on the 9th Of September, 1888.
He succeeded his father on the I'd of
March, 1885; he has therefore abdicated
the imperial throne after having occupied
it for period of thirteen years and half.
