Loss of the Steamer Lyonnaise.

The barquc Elise, Captain Nelson, of

reports speaking on the 10th a Bremen
barque having on board sixteen passen-
gers and the crew of the steamer Lyon

which was run into by a large ship on
the night of the % and abandoned next
day. These sixteen persons were picked
up in boat on the 9th, with two others
who had died
Among the saved is the second mate
of the Lyonnaisc, who furnishes the

Vigo Cher consort) says the Lyonnaise
Was built in seven water-tight compart-
ments, and if only two bulkheads re-
manned she would float. She had on
board. thirty-nine passengers in the cabin,
making, with the crew, officers, and
steeragc passengers, about one hundred
and fifty.
The collision occurred in dense fog
The stern of the ship was cut clean off
and she is supposed to have sunk inme.
dlately, as she was not seen afterwards.
The steamer was abandoned the next
day--crew and passengers taking to hel
six boats and raft. The latter had
forty on board, but it is not supposed il
could have lived through the rough wea.

Nothing is known of the raft and the

economy also in the seed-lf bushels TO the

This Drill is greatly improved since last

BUCKEYE CLOTHES WASHER,

Hon. CHAs. MASON, the Commissioner of
Patents has very recently said the principle on
which this Washing Machine is constructed,
is the only one for effective and thorough wash
ing of all the hundreds in the Patent Office.
This is high recommendation, but the praises
lavished upon these machines by the tens of
thousand persons using them in Ohio, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania, New York and other Eastern and North
ern States, are ofmuch greater value.

GS- The Chicago Oh. correspondent
of the Baltimore SIN, under date of Nov
18th, says:
" Betting on election has been carried
to fearful extent here. One Of the most
amusing which has come to light was by
a German, who bet his house, lot and
wife and baby, that Mr.. Fremont would
be-elected. After hearing the result he
took his deeds, wife aud child, and made
a tender of all in good faith. But his
friend having one wife and five children,
refused to Increase his stock in that way,
and therefore declined TO take the poor
mans family and property. but gave him
