The HENRY CLAY DISASTER. NcwY ork

The HENRY CLAY DIsAsTEE.-The Network
Express of the Sd inst. says:
Three more bodies were found on Monday
morning in the vicinity of the wreck; one was
picked up in an inlet near the wreck, and the
other two were found under the hull of the boat,
The bodies are those of females
Mrs Crawford, of Ypsilanti, Mich, aged 81 :,
is among the missing. Mrs. Ballard, of the
same place. is one of the saved.
The second boiler of the unfortunate boat was
raised at o'clock, Sunday night.
No more machinery of any considerable weight
remains On Monday morning the tackle and
falls were attached to the stern of the hull,
which was raised far enough to allow chain
being swept underneath and made fast abaft the
wheel By half past eleven the entire hull was
brought up clear Of the bottom to the surface,
when the operators became apprehensivc that
the hull would be cut in two by a chain; the
coroner, therefore, suspended the work until a
search should be made with grapples for the
| bodies; but none were found although the bot
tom was dragged for two hours, tits supposed,
however, that several bodies are still lying
buried in the mud.
The body of Mrs. Smith, of Philadelphia, has
been fully identified.
Recorder Tillon, in his charge to the grand
jury of the Court of Sessions Of New York, on
Monday, alluded particularly to this calamity
and instructed the jury to give all the facts a
thorough investigation.
Mr.. Fennell OF Wilmington, N. c., whose
wife was drowned, has published letter, in
which he says that the fuel used in getting W
steam for the race was the cause of the boat
taking fire.

The report of the growing crops throughout
England are highly favorable. The weather
has been unusually fine. In some instances
blight and mildew have appeared, slightly in

There were rumors that the potato disease
had done some damage to the crops in Ireland
The elections throughout England had moi
quite concluded, but the returns were largely
against the Derby administration. When the
Hermann left, enough was known to render i
positively certain that the administration would
not be able to command working majority IL
the House of Commons. The indications wer'
palpable that the Government would have {

James Graham, would most undoubtedly join il

ten letter, in reference to the Kaine extradi-
ton case, which has been submitted to his con-
sideration, with a view to an appeal to the Su-
preme Court The Judge says:
do not at present contemplate revising the
decision of Judge Belts, or acting de n0uo in the
matter, but shall deliberately examine the va
rlous questions raised by the counsel for the
prisoner, with view to the propriety of an ex-
animation and decision of them by the Supreme
Court of the United States, and IL final settle
ment of them as a guide in future applications
of q similar nature.
Some Of the questions are new and involve a
construction of the treaty and act of Congress
| passed in pursuance thereof. And they may
possibly be of sufficient Importance to have them
| settled by the Judgment of the highest author
| lty. But cannot pass intelligbly on this till

| As soon as | receive the papers referred to-
\ and have time to look into the subject YOU and
the counsel on both sides will hear from me. But
