IN ADVANCE OF THE MALL.
We are indebted to the courtesy Of the Picayuns
for late papers received By their expyess in advance
Of the mail. We have dates from Baltimore and
Washington Of the 9th, New York Of the sth and
9th, and Philadelphia Of the s,h, from which we
CLEAN the following:
The Explosion.
Recovery Of Ten more Boaies.-Y esterday morn
ing Mr.. Mackear Of the Chief Office was on the |
ground Of the explosion early as light would per-
nit with large gangs Of men, who were kept steadi
ly at work through the day, fresh men taking the
place Of those who became fatigued. The melan-
ehoiy result Of the days labor the recovery Of
ten more bodies, all Of which recognized and,
after brief inquest delivered to their friends. We
give below twelve additional names, but two OF
them were Of bodies not recognized in last list
The result thus far is briefly Rescued from the
ruins alive, excepting Tisdale,) 80 or 40 taken
from the ruins dead, Including Tisdae,) So total
accounted for, 90. Whole number supposed to
have been in the building at the time Of the catas
trophe, by the highest estimates of the employers,
l26. Remaining to be accounted fer, 30. But il
is quite certain that many OF these are aIvej some
Of them may not have been employed At the time,
as, in the confusion, nothing would be easier than
to include from memory the name of man or boy
employed a few days before. Some of them may
have escaped, and, from the serious nature of their
INJURIES Dee0 unable TO report Ln&5uSelVeSt dS IN
the case OF John Ward residing at Williamsburg,
who sent word to the station-house yesterday that
he is home, suffering severely from cortusions
His first recollection, after the explosion, is that he
was in eating-house in Pearl street, whittier he
had been carried. We trust we are within the
mark, when we say there cannot be ten more in
the ruins. We fear that some may have been 50
burned, that their ashes may be mingled with the
mass OF rubbish, that even the fact OF their hdv
ing been there at all may never be suspected.
However, to-day will suffice TO clear the ground,
and then then the worst will be known-lVesc TorE

THE GOLD FOR NEwY YoRK PER EMPIRE Cry.
The California mails not having come forward by
this steamer with the bills OF lading, nearly the
whole Of the gold was sent to the Mechanics Bank
under general order. There was, without doubt,
S2,O00,000 on board this ship Tribune.
The CusToM-HoUsE-We understand that a
portion Of the money due the officers Of the revenue
for their January services has been received from
Washington and disbursed-1ftbrne.
The NICARAGUA TREArY.-A special messen-
ger, the New York Tribune says, passed through
that city, the 11th inst, for Boston, with a copy
Of the treaty just signed between Mr.. Bulwer and
this Government. The treaty went by the steamer
the 18th. 1t is understood hatone Of the stipu-
lations of the treaty is that neither power shall re-
tain possession of Tigre Island.
BUSINESS ON THE STEAMERs.-The steamer
Philadelphia sailed on the 7th inst at O'Clock, for
Chagres. She had a full complement of passen-
gers, and the crowd on the docks was as large and
enthusiastic as at the departure of any iormer
steamer for California. The steamers during this
month, and into March, are already nearly full.
Strange as it may appear with the various lines of
splendid ships the route to Chagres, the accom-
modations hardly adequate TO the wants Of the
travelling public. Many Of the passengers by the
Empire City will return again Immediately.
COLD WEArHER.-A correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Atlas writes as follows, under date of Feb.
Cold weather at Bath, NewHampshire. so'clock
| A. M.-Mercury congealed. Thermometers stand
| ing from $40 to 40o below zero"
D A telegraphic dispatch to the New York
| Herald, dated Montreal, Feb. 7th, says: " The
| Annexation Association have published protest
| against Earl Greys late dispatch to Lord Elgin
/ The language used is not of menace or sedition
| They do not conceive the sentiments OF Earl Grey
to be those Of the people Of England and think thai
even the parliament Of England cannot pronounce
until the subject is submitted in regular course, By
the people of Canada. Free discussion is the righ
OF all men, and the safeguard against despotism ant
| rebellion. They ask the people to decide whethe
the dispatch is in accordance with the constitution
and whether Earl Grey's opinion should affect tn,
right to bring any subject before the legislature o
the country. They will not be diverted from
| legal course, and thus defending,the gfeates
| bulwark of the countrys Liberties.
GERMAN REFUGEE EFUNDs.-Advces have beer
| received from the American Consul at Basle, Swift
zerland, by Mr.. r. Lorenz OF the receipt and distr
button of portion of the funds sent to that country
| short time since, by the Mannerchor of New York
for the amehoration of the political refugees who
are at present sojourning in that country.
Fuller Particulars by the s. Europa.'
We publish from the New York Journal OF Com
merce Of the 9th, The foreign news received pei

The splendid New York packet shin Hottinguer,
Capt Bursley, has fallen prey 10 The fury of the
elements and, from the tenor Of the last accounts
respecting her, melancholy loss of life attends the
| disaster.
The Houinguer sailed from Liverpool for New
York on the 10Th January. She had $50 cabin and
steerage passengers together with the Captain and
| crew, of 30 men and boys, and had a very full
freight of various descriptions OF goods. She had
| only passed as far as BlackwAter Bank, which is
of the coast Of Wexford, when she struck on one
of those dangerous lodges Of rock which lie con-
cealed in that quarter.

On the occurrence Of this mishap, part of the
| crew and all the passengers were sent ashore

board, determined not to leave the ship while there
was the remotest chance Of saving her.

afterwards went to pieces, and, sad relate, Capt
| Bursey and twelve of The noble band, who deter
mined to be the last of the ship, met watery
| grave.
At the time the passengers left the ship, her sit.
