Causes of the Wreck.
NAMES OF THE SAVED.

We are enabled this morning to present to our
readers full and accurate accounts Of the wreck Of
the Central America, gathered from conversation
with the rescued passengers and officers.
The telegraph brought US nothing on Saturday
except brief sketch "a me storm and the names
of those rescued by the bark Marine. The Empire
City, which left Norfolk at noon on Friday arrived
here about 10 O'Clock yesterday morning, bringing
the passengers saved by the bark. From these
passengers from the mails, and from our telegraphic
correspondence, we gather the minute and interest
ing details which fill our columns this morning, to
the exclusion of almost everything else.

MfsTAKING THE HYMN.-A young clerical gen.
tlemun relates the following anecdote Of one Of
his Dutch brethren: The old fellow was about
commencing one ofhis spiritual exercises, when
to the disadvantage of his being little near
sighted was added the poor light of a country
church. After clearing his throat, he gave out
the hymn, prefacing it with the apology ,}
De light tish bad, mine eyes is dim,
- cannot see to read dish hymn.oi'l'a 4.
The clerk, supposing il was the first stanza Of
the hymn struck up the tune ofcommon metre.
The old fellow, taken somewhat aback by this
turn of affairs. correctedit by saying.
didn't mean to sing dish hymn, y ~
only meant, mine eyes ish dim.
The clerk. still thinking it continuation OF
the couplet, finished 10 the preceding strain.---
The old man at this waxed wroth, and ex-
claimed, al the top of his voice. ss1 eE
