as many probably as she could sus-
tain during the twenty-iour hours
which elapsed previous to her being
picked up.
The reports, so far as we have heard
them. speak unfayorably Of the con-
duct Of those generally employed in
the engine room. The list Of the
saved shows that n very large proper
ton Of them ayailed themselves Of the
boats, and the labors Of those employ
ed in construction of the raft are said
to have been seriously impeded by
their conduct. At the time when the
ship was about to sink, the rush Of this
class over the sides Of the ship nearly
destroyed tho. raft altogether.
Our informants say that neither of
them heard either the bell tolled or the
steam whistle used previous Ia. the
collision, Notwithstanding the dense
ness OF The fog. Beth. however, were
below at the time. and it is the opin-
ion OF those most conyersant with the
management Of the ship. that these
precautions against accident were not
neglected. The whistle On board is
so placed as to be at the command of
the officer of the deck. without resort
to the engine room. He has OILY to
turn an espace cock, fixed near his
usual post, to sound the alarm.

POLITICS IN NEW YORK

The New York Herald thinks that there

Saratoga Springs on the 10th day of August

the Wing party are not willing to mount the

TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT IN NEW
YORK.


The friends of the Maine Law in New
York have advertised that they will hold a
great State Convention ut Auburn, on the
2sth of September next. In the call of their
committee for the Convention, they express
the hope that chose only will be elected as
delegates, who consider the enactment of a
law prohibiting the liquor traffic as the ques-
ton of paramount Importance in the State
Legislation of New York"
The New York Herald considers this as
conclusive of the important fact that the
temperance people of New York, upon the
question of the Maine Liquor Law, will be
an independent party in the November cleo
ton. 1t is believed that every candidate
for Governor, or for the Legislature, will be
required to give his opinions in writing upon
the liquor question; and when such opinions
are withheld, or are opposed to the Tempe
rance platform, or whip the devil around
the stump" the Herald expresses the OBI
MON that that ticket will be terribly, and in
most cases fatally scratched at the polls. Al
the Maine Law party carried the New York
Legislature last year, it is believed, that in
the present disorganized state of parties in
New York, they will this year achieve still
more decided success

SERIOUS CHARGE.-A small white boy,

blunderbuss, the property of Edward Bloomer,

was this. On the oath of July Bloomer missed his

duty, end after arresting the accused had CONVEX
sation with him, when young Allen acknowledged
having the gun, said that he found 1t under free
negro's house on Maddox Hill, and Immediately
gave it up. There was not particle of proof to
show that the prs ,ner had purchased the gun
knowing 1t to have been stolen, or that he came by
it in an improper manner-and if he had bought it
of a negro, he is entirely too young to understand
why it Is that white persons shall not deal with
slaves unless by the consent of their masters At
the close OF the testimony the Mayor dismissed the
case, informing the complainant that he could see
no good ground for sending it on to the Hastings
Court.

THE MOSQUITO KING.

His Majesty, the King of the Mosquitoes,
has arrivedin Richmond, attended by large
suite of armed retainers. We had short
but unsatisfactory interview with him, few
nights ago. He is believed to be on his way
to Washington to present his bill to General
Pierce for the damages to San Juan. Though
diminutive potentate, he seems to have
considerable powers of annoyance. At all
events, he has good opinion of himself, and
knows how to sound his own trumpet.

CAPT. JOLLY.

This sucking Nelson commander.in-
chief of Her Britannia Majesty's immense
war schooner. The Bermuda, ought to be re-
called from his present obscure station, and
placed at the head of one of the large ships,
which have gone to the Baltic to capture
Cronstadt. Itwasnot enough tor this worthy
gentleman to protest against the proceedings
of Capt. Hollins ct San Juan, but he must
throw out an uncalled for intimation that
nothing but want of force prevented him
from giving battle upon the spot to the Anne
rican commander. Capt. Hollins rebuked
this characteristic specimen of British AFRO.
gance In proper manner In former times,
an English schooner of war would have been
considered by every loyal subject of Great
Britain full match for an American corvette;
but, since the late war, they have come to
the conclusion that it is not wise to meet
Americans on the water, except with an equal
force. II Capt. Jolly had only had vessel
Of the size OF the Cyane, wouldn't the jolly
little fellow have cast Napier into the shade
There seem to be great many ys in the way
of British military and naval operations At
present. If those internal submarine ma.
chimes were out of the way, if Crcnstadt were
not SO strongly fortified, if the cholera were
not in Cronstadt, If the channel were not 10
narrow, and we know not how many hundred
| 'gfs" beside, would not Sir Charles Napier
have taken Cronstadt long ago? ythe Ger
man Powers would only ally themselves with
the allied powers, wouldn't they make Old
Nick fall on his knees and cry for mercy p
| II Capt. Jolly were in the Black Sea, instead
Of Dundas, wouldn't Sebastopol have been
taken long ago7
Capt Jolly in his lugubrieus protest, in.
forms Capt. Hollins, that the inhabitants, 40
well as the houses and property Of San Juan,
are entirely defenceless, and he is 80 good US
to notify him that therefore his contemplated
attack would be without precedent among
civilized nations. If Capt Hollins had been
in possessions of the operations of the British
IN the Baltic, he could have informed the
melancholy Jolly that the British fleet had
not attacked any thing there except defence,
less towns and property, and helpless women
| There are plenty of 'uncivilized' precedents
furnished Capt. Hollins in the Baltic, as well
a. In the wars of Great Britain with this
country, in which she enlisted the tomahawk
Of the savage and the torch of the incendiary,
and gave an unprotected capitol to the flames
| with as little cOmpunction as Capt Hollins
could have felt in destroying the miserable
| shanties of San Juan
On the whole, we think Capt Jolly's own
| ers at home will not thank him for his rash
and menacing language. Great Britain has
as much as she can attend to, in preserving
the balance of power in Europe, without
| about the contemplate town of San Juan.
