LITER FROM THE .aRTIC.



The Captain Of the Osprey. at New York,
states that metallic life-boat belonging to
the steamship Attic, has reached St. Johns,
n. +. on the 18th inst. with the parser, John
l.. Geib, on board IA passengers and IL Of
the crew, whose names we could not learn.
1t is said however that there was not sim
gle female among them.
The Purscr was landed. as were several
others on Thursday evening last at Holmes
Hole.
Mr.. Glieb the Purscr Immediately p oceed-
ed on his journey to New York. st $50
The Osprey, which is fine, staunch YES
sci. now lies at the foot of Pine street, and
has on board the life-boat in which the pur-
ser, crew, and passengers were saved.
1t is perfect specimen of the article, and
one it strikes us that could have saved many
others.
Mr.. Sherwood says that during their pas
sage they experienced heavy weather off the
Gulf of ST. Lawrence and Bay of Fundy.
There was constant continuation of rain

ably contested fields Of modern times. How
this has been asccrtained is not in our pos

by those familiar with the positions Of. the
two belligerent parties, the forces engaged
and the tactics of the two opposing forces
The number Of the staff who fell in this bat.

fell at Buena Vista. yet they might have beer

The directors of the Kn:ckerbocker bank,
hope that they will he able to resume bust
ness some time next week, upon the election
of a now President vice Joseph Y. Savage
resigned. The affairs of this institution, it
is stated by the officers, rrc not in so bad a
condition as was at 6rst supposed, and the
deficiency from bad debts ovardrafts, &c.,
will amount to only about $4,000. We
have before noticed the resignation of the
president and cashier. Nearly all the direc-
tars have signi6ed their intention of resign
ing as soon as new President is elected. .
One Of the officers of the Eighth-ay. Bank
states that previous to the closing Of that
bank nearly all the depositors drew out their
balances, as did also many of those who had
deposits in the Savings Bank.
The officers are now engaged in collecting
their Bills Receivable, and as fast as rccciv-
ed the moneys have been devoted to paying
of the Savings Dcpositors and for no other
purpose. ae
We are informed that the amount of Bills
Receivable, is more than double the amour,
of deposits. If this is the case the deposit
ors will probably not lose anything.

CO The hoax Of the fall of Sebastopol,
was gotten up by the Paris Bourse. The
Emperor was endeavoring to ferret out the
the originatcrs with the design to visit con-
dign punishment upon them for so outra-
geous an act. The correspondent of the
Smyrna Journal is implicated. England
sympathises with France in the death of
Marshal St. Arnaud, who died of disease

The editor describes trip he made the Isthmus

Postscript. II don't know but the muss is begun,
and we may have to send over by the next steamer
for Sergeant Joel and his company to come on.
The French Emperor has got frightened or mad
about matters, don't know which, and has snubbed
Mr.. Souley and forbid his settin foot on his land
He turned him right out of the doors of France,
and told him to 60 about his business somewhere
else. This was when Mr.. Souley was on his way
home to Spain from our Congress which VIC held
at Oastend for we was very careful not to hold it
in France nor Spain nor England, SO not to stir
up a muss with the Governments before it was
time. But Napoleon has been foolish enough to
put his foot in it, and now we've all agreed that he
has got to knock under and back out, or smell
thunder.
