ouKsrc June 27-Eye6isg The following further
partcuars relative TO the burning Of tho steamer Mon

The Montreal left here at -four clock yesterday AFTER

Nothing Unusual occurred until the steamer reached

utmost CONSERVATION amongst the passengers Every
possible effort made TO appease the hames ou' 70 no

Captain Randolph, finding il impossible to save the
steamer ordered her towards the shore The onees
and crew of the Montreal exerted themselves at the same
time 10 get out the lifeboats
The flames spread with the most astonishing rpidty,
and the widest confusion and despair prevailed through
out the ship.
number of the passengers threw themselves over
board and drowned
Fortunately the steamer Napoleon also for Montreal
but few miles in advance Of the burning boat and
put back with all possible expedition, 10 her assistance
The Napoleon succeeded in rescuing from the burning
wreck hundred and twenty seven passengers.
Capt Randolph and the purser Of the Montreal were
amongst those who threw themselves into the river Both
being excellent swimmers they succeeded in reaching the
steamer Alliance, and were saved
1t quite possible that Of the others succeeded in
saving themselves by swimming, but the steamers be-
unmanageable when considerable distance from
land doubt the most of those who threw themselves
from the burning boat met a watcry grave
Sixteen Of those who saved died shortly after
reaching the deck of the Napoleon.
From present information il Is believed that the total
loss Of life by this terrible disaster will not fall short of
three OF four hundred persons.
The steamer Alliance arrived here this afternoon with
forty five of the dead bodies.
We have not been able to learn the names of any Of
those lost except that of Mr. Philips of the extensive
lumber firm of Norcross & Philips of Three Rivers.
The Montreal had hoard two hundred and fifty
eight Scotch emigants, several German families, and

Financial 0p0rati0ns-EM Brief.

1t is we'll known that the commerce.
al and financial reporter of the New
\ ork Independent, is one of the most
able, reliable, and far-sceing writer's in
the Union. From a general survey of
the signs of the times, he is enabled to
make the following hopeful and cheer
ing predictions, for which We think
| there arc abundant data:
l. Our opinion is, that the "crisis'
SO long talked Of by the whole tribe OF
long. faced Bears, has been Indefinitely
postponed.
2. We believe that the money mar
kct will continue to Improve, that the
present "strcct" rates Of interest will
not be maintained through the remain
der Of the season, and that the bank
rate Will be casy at 7 U cent.
8. In regard to the crops, having had
the privilege lately, of personal OBJ
servation in at least thirteen of the Nor
thcrn States, we arc Of opinion that
the aggregate yield will be greater
than ever before.
4. 1t is our opinion that most des-
criptions Of stocks have "touchcd bot
tom" and those who have money lying
idle had better be in haste about ma,
king investments.
5. We believe that the prospect for
trade generally is encouraging.
6. 1t is our opinion. based upon pri-
yatc adviccs from California, that the
yield at the gold mines, and the ship
mcnts thence the remainder Of the year
will be larger from now to January,
than during any other corresponding
period, q. c., Fall months.
7. We believe that financial matters
abroad will, from this date, steadily
improve; that the Banks Of England
and France will continue to reduce their
rates Of interest, in consequence of the
rapid increase Of specie.
8. In conclusion, we give it as our
opinion that oil croakers should stop
their mouths; that idlers should go to
work; that everybody should expect
prosperity if they "mind their bust
ness.
These are our deliberate opinions,
based upon "pcculiar and reliable in
formation" We NAY be mistaken; if
so, we congratulate ourselves that 9TH
crs, much wiser than we arc, have made
similar CT worse blundcrs.

Justice to tnc Northwest,

The Stanton Tmlicator copies
the resolution lately adopted at the Up
shur Railroad Convention, for the con-
struction Of railroad from Alexandria
to the Ohio river at point North
OF Builingtons Island, and adds:
This is movement in the right d.
rcction and one which will result in
conlerring lasting good upon the in
habitants ofthc Northwest, if prosecu,
ted with on energy worthy of the great
interest involved. The improvements
Of the Northwest has been too much
overlooked by our lcgislators-with a
most productive soil and and vast min.
cral wealth she wants but the means
OF transportation to market and she
Will pour millions Of treasure into the
lap OF the old Commonwealth. Anoth.
or great advantage which would result
would be the opening up and bringing
INTO market all that rich and vast do,
main in the Northwest, thereby pre-,
venting the emigration of our popula,
ton to the far West, and adding thous
ands Of dollars to the revenue of Nir
GINA. As yet, the people in that por
ton of the State have none but loca
improvements, and the making of the
proposed Improvement would be like
the creation Of q new Statc--it woult
rcjuvcnatc the Old Dominion. Tho
resources Of the Northwest will contin
uc to be unknown until they are drawn
out by some such Improvement as tho
one proposed. Keep the ball in mo
ton.

Such men are necessarily reckless

Such men are necessarily reckless
of all consequences. Al their safety
consists In their obedience. They might
easily fly, but stronger bonds than
links of steel---a closer prison than
stone walls2-retain them willing cap
tives. The African flies not from his
fetish-man; the children of the Orient
never fled from their genii; the Roman
cannot escape the anathema of his
priest; the Tartar covers before the
grand lama; and the equallay devoted
Mormon shuddcrs and groans, but he
still remains. Ut is not unnatural, it
is only human nature degraded.
Such is q fair specimen of Mormon
fanaticism. That these deluled men
are sincere-madly, absurdly, sincere
there can be no doubt; and there are
thousands such in Utah. These. men
will tight, lie, rob, nttrder for Nor
monlsm, if commanded, and really
believe that they are doing God good
service. r... ~.
BY means of such influence over the
minds of large bodies Of such men,
brigham hopes to execute his designs.
