We tOday publish full account OF the melan-
choy accident which happened to the steamboat
Empire, while on her way from Troy this CITY, last
Saturday Our special reporter states that seven
persons are known to have been killed, besides
which large number were horribly scalded some
Of whom will not probably survive The Coroner Of
Poughkeepsie is holding an inquest upon the bodies
and will make strict investigation. We have COM
mened at considerable length upon this lamentable
occurrence in another article.
The last European intelligence brought out by the
Arabia, and published in Thursdays paper, gave
credence to the report that the Russian troops had
actually invaded the Turkish territory, but nothing
said as to the strength of the army of invasion
This rumor, it viii be remembered, caused great
fuctuation in the prices of stocks on the Paris
Borrse, although the market opened unusually firm
few hours previous to the receipt of the news. In
confirmation Of the important annuncation, we now
learn from the newspaper agent at Liverpool, whose
despatch, unfortunately, did not reach us till yester
day, that few minutes before the Arabia left he
ceived Geographic despatch, based on an extra
Issued by the London Times, stating that an army
Of twelve thousand Russians entered Jassy on the
25th Of June This will cause the later adviees,
expo tied day by tie steamship Franklin to be
looked for with much anxiety. The coming news vii
whether there viii be general European or not
Mr. Champion, the British Minister, reached our
city last evening, having arrived in Boston from Ha-
hfax in the morning. The expedition with which he
travels rather indicates that the fishery troubles will
be speedily arranged between himself and Secretary
Marcy. Let US hope So at all events.
The news which we to-day publish from Cuba
ard Mexico will be found to be of very important
into fippp ofl he
Of the three American sailors now imprisoned in the
Moro under the charge Of having formed part Of the
crew Of the shaving bark Jasper, which, after land
ing its cargo on the island, was set on fire. The
Statement is addressed to the Secretary of State,
who, we have no doubt, will take proper N easures to
secure justice to these our citizens. Parks, of
those whose names are subscribed to the document,
is from Palmyra, Wayne county, in this State.
Atkins is native Of this city, and Freedom is
tive Of Philadelphia. 1t is impossible to say what
has become of the other Americans who were among
the crew, namely, VIM. Radclif, VIM. Hussey,
second mate, the boy Coles, and the cook, black
man, named Robinson. Our Havana correspon-
dent suggests that most probably the first three
were murdered to be got rid of, and that the
negro was sold among the slaves. This is by no
means violent or irrational conclusion. The ship
ping master with whom these sailors shipped in this
city were Messrs. Clarke and Dean. The captain is
now, we understand, in New York or Brooklyn, and
might perhaps corroborate in some measure the truth
of the sailors story. The SLAYER Lady Suffolk is at
length in safe hands, We published letter in last
Monday HERALD giving the whole particulars Of the
seizure Of this notorious vessel, and now our Cuban
Intelligence comes to verify our previous announce
ment In addition to the particulars of Mexican and
Havana news, we give the translation of an article
from the Diario de Ia Marina, in which wholesome
counsel is given to the saveholding States Of the
South. The whole of what we give from Mexico
and Cuba to-day viii be found particularly inter
esting.
3 Late advices from Maranham state that the steam
ship FL Paraguay, insured in this city, bad been con
demned and ordered to be sold 1t appears that she

days sprung a leak, and compelled 70 return
Tie passengers and crew were safe.
According to the last accounts from Mexico great
dsrust had been produced by the dishonorng of the
Soo drafts and il is reported the agent despaired OF
carrying on the work. The most implacable oppo.
stion is still manifested to any and all propositions
that may be made by the Americans for the Mesila
Valley. The Minister Of Home Affairs, II is said
threatens to resign IL the least concession is made 20
Governor Lane. The whole difficulty will probably be
settled in the course Of few months. The naugu-
raj address Of the new Mexican Minister, delivered
Che ether day, was Of a concihatory nature, and
would incline to the belief that the Mexican
government is amicably disposed, whatever he
people there may have to sey TO the contrary.

Old Point Comfort.
