THE SCENE OF THE CALAMITY.-The New
York Herald of Friday, gives the following
description of the sad scene Of the late terrible
disaster:
The scene of the calamity was crowded yes.
terday, by anxious inquirers after missing
friends and relatives. The wreck of the Henry
Clay lies where she was run ashore and scut.
tied, between two and three miles on this side
of Yonkers, and few hundred yards from
Bettner's dock. 1t presents most extraordi
nary spectacle, lying in few feet of water, a few
blackened and charred timbers only are seen
clinging as it were to the heavier machinery,
the smoke pipes standing prominently but in
an inclined or bent position. Around through
out the day, men We're engaged in dragging,
with results, as will be seen, realizing the
worst apprehensions that were entertained. In
addition to those bodies already recovered and
which appeared in all cases nearly to have
been drowned, there are, j, is certain, sufferers
by fire among the ruins of the boat. In fact,
the men who have been seeking, say they can
distinctly feel the remains of three OF tour per-
sons beneath the machinery which they can
not remove.
The Hudson River Railroad COMPANY have
issued an order, which was strictly carried out,
that the trains on being signaed, should stop
at the spot, and render any required assistance
| in conveying the bodies or otherwise.
Close to the dock before mentioned were
erected two temporary tents or awnings, under
one of which the Coroner and Jury were as
sembied, and under the other was a CHASTITY
array Of corpses awaiting Identification.
General Jones, of this city, who ia rustica-
ting on or near the spot, has furnished every
assistance that humanity could suggest under
the circumstances, and treated the survivors
with great hospitality: his lady provided a
| quantity of clothes, linen, &C., which were
| appropriated to covering the dead, who were
| also shrouded with green boughs, or branches
| from the " Gods, which abound in the locality
As The bodies were identified the Coroner
took the evidence of the friends claiming them,
| and merely taking the opportunity of obtaining
| any further information in the witness possess
| SION, gave permission for the removal of the
deceased for interment. In this way the whole
| day was consumed. until all were identified and
| removed. with the exception of the nine which
remain unrecognzed.
A letter from disting uished American now
| IN the south of Eur ,pe, ofreceht date, informs
| US, says the Int. lligencer. that the United
| States steamer San Jacinto. after calling al
Naples, and taking in a supply of coal, had
gone direct to Constantinople, whence she
was to take MIR. March United States Minis
teri to Athens, to investigate the case of the
Rev. MIR. King; from which, however, nothing
serious is expected to arise. The writer adds
the following, which appears to be worthy of
attention:
would be most advantageous in every
respect to our interests if our Minister to 1ur-
key were accredited also to King Othe's
Court. The Belgian and other Governments
accredit their Ministers to both Greece and
Turkey. This would also serve as just
ground for increasing the salary of the Mission
to the Grande Porte, now so very low as to
oblige ITS tenant to serve his country out of his
private income"
Gen. PIERCE.-The announcement that
Gen. Pierce is to be at Old Point is without
foundation. He has been invited to make
VISIT there by the proprietor of the Hygea,
and in his reply stated that it was more than
probable he should remain quietly at Con-
cord.

preparation, was announced positively to be
produced on Tuesday, July 18th, at the Royal
Italian Opera.
