HE ARcTlc.-At meeting of the rhem-
bers OF the Law Institute yesterday, meas
ures wpre taken for an investigation into
the conduct of the crew of the Arctic. Mr..
Joseph Blunt,in the course of some remarks
stated the following startling fact;
81 was informed by an officer of the Ma.
Wy, who was passenger in the Europa
when she brought those rescued from the
Arctic, that from information which he had
received, he was convinced that there was
concerted plan entered into to lower one
end OF ono of the boats partly down, for the
purpose of throwing out the women that
were placed in it by Captain Luce, so that
there might be room for the crew. Now,
il that be the case there is no question about
it, but that the United States Court has
right TO investigate this matter" il
In the course of conversation held yes
t.rday with Mr.. Dorian, tho third mate Of
the Arctic, he stated what might seem to
corroborate the above. lie said that the
af)cr-iall was kept inbDard, Oh deck, and
was not cast of Of the elect at all, while
the forward fall was taken into the bow Of
the boat by lour sailoIs who lowered that
end OF the boat into the water, and who were
well aware what The consequences must be.

QF- The introduction of gas into the

becoming very general. When the dark

within the limits OF the fire district shall

be laid on all the principal streets, many
more who are now desirous of so doing,

economical luxury in their dwellings.
The increased consum ption of gas the

unworthy of human concernmcit, or too

bic. There is no doubt that the PROPOSE
;ions to abolish the registry tax, and 10 ex-

The propositions TO vest the pardunining
power in the Governor, and t, abolish the
country sessions of the General Assembly,
are adopted. The proposition TO relieve the
town clerks from the duty Of transmitting
lists of voters to the General Assembly, is
30 close that we must wait for the official
returns from Jamestown and Exeter. We
have written to the town clerk of James
town, but have received no answer Our
friend of the Newport News had sent twice
10 the Islaud, without being able to scare up
anybody who knew what the vote was. But
he means TO try again. From Exeter We
have two reports. The town clerk informs
US that the vote on the first proposition was

about the same. The Moderator thinks the
vote was ~ ayes, "a nays, and on the third

AN ECCENTRIC PREAcHER.-Rcv. John
Hersey, an old and wel-known Methodist
Preacher, in Virginia, is thus described by
the Richmond Examiner -
Mr.. Ilerscy makes deep and lasting i'm
preston wherever he goes. lie is pro-
verbally straightforward. disinicrcsted ond
guilclesS. lie will wear no clothes except
such as are indispensable TO his comfort,
and eat nothing except what is necessary

death. rather than touch a rnofsc of any
article Of TODD cooked on Sunday. lie
would rather walk fifty miles than indulge
ia tie luxury Of. "a ride six hundred yard.
lie would sooner penetrate the mad knee
dep, than set his loot on Brussels car
pet. He would sit on porcupne saddle
abou, US comfortably as he would on cusl.-
ioned chair In example, as we'll as in
precept, he loudly condemns the fashions
the folics and vanitios Of this sinful world.
lie strikes at them with ten-fold force when
found in the church, or in persons profess
sing the name ol Christ. He does not be-
ioye in the popular notion, that "a saint in
Grape is twice a saint in lawn"
At the conclusion of any OF his discour-
ses in our mountains, he can adopt as his
own, with very slight variations, the Ian
guage used by the eccentric Lorenzo Dow,
ina sermon delivered at Georgetown, not
long before his death :-"My humble hear
crs," said Lorenzo, 81 have preached in Eu-
rope, in Asia, in Africa and in America.
| have preached to George Ill, I have
preached TO George Canning, but believe
me, never preached a better sermon to

of this passage. He has preached in three
quarters o: the globe, and perhaps in the
fourth also.

Calderoa de "a Bdrca.-We ere panied
10 learn from SOURCE in which .Se place
every confidence, that though the mob did
not seek the residence Of this gentleman
(who was so greatly esteemed and beloved
when in Washington during the reyolu-
tionory scenes in Madrid, the forcible
change Of the Spanish Government drove
him forth from Spain, practically an exile.
Very recently he was in Paris with his
family, and was in exceedingly straighten-
ed circumstances, having been deprived by
the chances Of the revolution, OF nearly all
his available means. This news will cast a
gloom over many a domestic circle in this
city, which in times past, has been chcered
and graced by familiar association with NJ
Calderou and his accomplished wife,

IIopEs OF THE SAFETY OF THE ALBAN

lioPEs OF THE SAFETY or THE ALBANY
There has been forwarded to the Navy
Department, a letter from the Master of the
Albany addressed to his father, and writ
ten u' rs the ship was about to leave As
pinwall, in which ii is stated that she was
about to 90 through the Mono Pass-hat
is, to make the voyage on the south side of
Cuba. At this season, the winds prevail
ing along her contemplated route are no.
toriously battling, such IA would compel
her,to beat nearly, if not throughout, the
entire voyage. In ,hat case, it is thought
by naval officers in Washington, that her
passage has not been remarkably long
one. The receipt of the letter in question
has certainly generated hopes that she may
yot be safe.
