Loss OF STEAMER ADMIRAL. Steamer Ad-
miral, struck on ledge three miles west of
Quoddy Light. on Wednesday morning last,
and commenced filling rapidly. She was
then run ashore, and her passengers all landed
in safety, as also their baggage and the mails.
She had large freight, and is supposed to be
a total loss, with small Insurance. The
Boston Journal says =
"The Admiral was an excellent boat seven
years old. She was great tavorte with the
Eastern public. She left here on Tuesday
morning for st. John, n b., with full car
90 of freight valued at about 800, WO-and
large number of passengers. Among her
cargo were 900 worth of bonded goods
received by the last Cunard steamer and des-
tined for ST. John. They were probably in
sured in England. The Admiral was owned
by The Eastern Steamboat Company-and
there was no insurance on her except such as
the stockholders may have on their respective
shares. Her loss at this time when the tide
Of peasure,travei generally sets towards the
British Provinces will be a disappointment to
the travelling public.

The TINES AND ENGINE Co. No. g. Hav-
ing stated in the Times of week before last,
what we had understood" relative to the acts
of some members of the above company, and
the company, or very large proportion of
the members, having published "Card," de-
nying the statement, we took the earliest OPP
portunity to set the matter right to make full
correction, and to give our authority, to wit
member Of the company. We did not give
his name, neither shall we do so, for we have
called the name Of no one in connection with
the affair. We confess it was with some sur
prise that we saw in the Tribune Of Saturday
the unhandsome fling at our correction. The
publisher of the Tribune will not dispute that
reports such as we gave publicity to in rela-
before our paper ppeared-indeed, before any
member Of the company could have known
that any such article as we published would
appear, the Foreman of the company, for
whom we have ever entertained the highest
respect, went to see nearly all the members
in person to question them with reference to
the very allegations to which our article sub
sequently referred. We say, then, the fling
Of the Tribune is unhandsome, and to us I'M
expected, for we had supposed that "a calm,
dispassionate, reliable paper" which would
"not lend its influence to widen the differences
among our fellow citizens, or to stir up the
waters Of strife in our midst" would hail
with pleasure so full and cheerful correction
as we have made, and not by implication even,
conterd that underlying our statements was
concealed an San intention 10 miSrepresent The
company"
We express no surprise at what had APP
pcared IN the ''bantling' Of ''sickly existence"
which is daily bringing ''chagrin to its
friends for misrepresentation is its vocation.
Where ''liule is given little is required y and
where moral sense and honor are not bestowed
upon an individual, it would be unreasonable
to expect from him any manifestation of such
endowments, or even an appreciation of them
in Others In the light Of the rule here laid
down we can see no reason why we should
complain Of the editor Of the Mirror for his
ebulitions of spite. Experience has ever
shown that the mischevous efforts of such
persons, like chickens, are sure to find their
way home to roost.

NED BUNTLNE." This notorious indi-
vidual, who has been familiar with Black
wells Island, is now perambulating in this
State. The Union Democrat speaks of his
appearance at Manchester as follows:
I" lie appeared on the platform in regimen
tails, with long sword dangling about his
heels; and talked more arrant nonsense in an
hour than we ever knew to be compressed into
SO small compass before. His chief pur-
pose was to show the strength and extent of
foreign influences upon our government and
named as prominent among the plots Of the
Jesuits, the annexation Of Texas the Fugi-
tive Slave Law |! ! and the Nebraska bill II !
All these measures were of Catholic origin
and the programme is to be completed by an
attempt to acquire Cuba and Canada Just
so shallow and absurd was his whole harangue,
so palpably ridiculous that even Ned himself
would hardly have had the brass to utter it
except before fraternity of 'Nnow Moth
ings.'

TERRIBLE CALAMITY. In New York, on
Saturday afternoon, the new building Of the
Manhattan Gas Company on Fourteenth Street
fell in. About one hundred workmen were
employed in the building, and though as many
as fifty were buried in the ruins, only were
killed, and 10 injured. The building was $50
BY $50 feet, one story in height, with three
peaked roofs Of iron, supported BY iron and
brick columns. The cause Of the disaster is
supposed to be defective iron work.

Anti-Ne6raSkd Democrats MrOUn aside for
Anti Nebraska WhigS.-The trap set to catch
the votes Of verdant democrats by such opera
tors as Horace Greeley, is only cool contriv-
ance to put into the next United States house
Of representatives a wing majority. Those
who are caught by this sorry suggle will be
heartily laughed at, and will sooner or later
curse their own credulity. A practical illus
tration Of the whole cheat has just come to our
knowledge. The representative Of the second
congressional district in the state of Maine is
the Hon. S. Mayall, a democrat, who voted
against the Nebraska bill in all its stages
According to the Greeley platform he should
have been placed in nomination by all those i'm
his district who were opposed to Nebraska,
and reelected on that ground and in this the
wings should have been first. But the wings
of the district refused to sustain the Greeley
arrangement, and accordingly they held con-
venton. and elected for congress, as their
nominee, Mr.. Gilman, whig, the same whom
Mr. Mayall defeated at the last election.
The Maine-law party also held convention
and nominated ]. ]. Perry for their candidate
for representative in congress- Subsequently,
the wings withdrew their candidate, Gilman,
and united -upon the Maine-law candidate,
Perry, who is put forth as an anti-Nebraska
man. but unlike Mr.. Mayall, has never been
tried by the severest ordeal. Indeed, the very
men who were to make opposition to Ne
braska test in the elections now gladly dis
card it in favor Of any other ism. This is
short chapter, but it is very full Of signif-
cance.- Washington Union.

WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER! The editor
of the "Mirror" declares positively that ''the
crowd that burnt the church did not wave the
American flag when they went down Centre

crowd did, especially when the American flag
was waving from his own office window Z
Again, he affirms to the precise a0ordS in

attempted TO force the Sagadahock House

Does not his positive and minute knowledge
reveal his whereabouts on that occosson, as

there himself! Who ever doubted where he
was on that dsgraceful occasion An eccen-
trio man once said that it was as necessary to
have thief as a minister in parish so that,
should any article be lost, the owner might
know where to find it. Is it not quite as CON
venient to have some one in every community
to participate in all riotous assemblies, and to
dance attendance upon all rows, so that the
public may have reliable knowledge of the

II The following rules for hot weather
are going the rounds. They are good enough
to be followed -
Don't drink TOO much iced water. I'm
merse the wrists in the water before drinking.
Eat lightly. Let alone stimulating beverages,
or drink moderately. Partake Of none bat
fresh vegetables, those that have become will
ted, are about as bad as poison. They produce
cholera and death. Good fresh milk is a health
ful luxury. New, unripe potatoes should he
eaten with extreme moderation. Tomatoes
are excellent. Berries are good. Eat Of
wholesome food temporarily whatever the appe-
tite Graves. But don't eat too much Don't
drink too much battle often, and keep clean
conscience void Of offence towards God and
man. and yon need have little fear Of cholera,
nor fret over the blighting heat of summer

Of what the result is to be, we think we can
very safely predict that both of these old fogg

religion as Protestants and in this country
should receive equal protection from the laws.
The only way to put down false religion is by
