vided the ship in two parts, and blew the upper deck
with the guns and rigging fully twenty five feet in
the air. This part fell sideways into the sea and
disappeared for a few minutes. The lower deck was
then observed to catch fire and burn with intense
violence for seven eight minutes, when the ship
gradually sank Immediately after the explosion
hundreds of kaks and embarkations repaired to the
scene Of disaster, and number OF mutilated remains
showing but little resemblance to human beings, were
picked up. Of the 10 taken to the temporary am
bulance erected Shore thirity-sx died INN ediate
ly afterwards and most of the sufferers in such
dreadful condition that no hope whatever en-
tertained of their recovery. One poor fellow, lieu

W The era of daily advices from Eu-

published the news brought by the Pacific,
and this morning our Geographic dispatch
from Halifax announces the arrival of the
Canada at that port, with intelligence three
DAYS later. No event Of controlling inter
est has occurred in these three days. In
FRANCE, which seemed to threaten ravo-
luton of some sort, parties are appeased,
partially at least, and rumors are again con-
Trajectory. We still see no reason to fear
that matters there will not be tinkered up,
and the outward peace preserved for some
time to come. In GERMANY, the crisis in
Electoral Hessc approaches that peaceful
termination which the people have 50 tri-
umphatly deserved. In ScHLEswlG HoL-

We close with a reminiscence which
many can verify. In 1885, series OF
abolition Riots were got up in our City,
of which the fury was mainly wreaked on
the Messrs. A. and L. Tappans. Such was
the depravity of the Press and the lmeecll-
ity of the Municipal Government, that they
continued through several nights or even
irgs. A leading Silk house, then wealthy
and 6ourishing, came out with an advertise
ment that they were no Abolitionists. A
large accession of Southern custom was
their immediate reward Mississippi gave
them almost her entire trade. Two years
aftcrward that Silk house failed for over
Million Dollars, and their assets were pro-
tested Southern notes, not worth the paper
they had spoiled. The members OF that
house have ever since been poor men, Some
of those who are now riding the Woolly
Horse as hard as they did, in the hope OF
sudden riches, may in like manner be dis
mounted before they shall have reached
the goal of their aspirations,
