Collision on Long Island SOund-.LOss
of Life.
New York, Aug. l6,

NEW ORk, aug 10.
A collision occurred ON Long Island Sound
this morning, between the steamer Metropo-
lis, of the Fall River line, and the propeller
j. A. Harris, hence for for London. The CO.
lision occurred between Falkland Island
and New Haven The Metropolis was bound
to this port. The Harris sunk almost imme-
diately. She had on board % persons, pass
engers and crew, of whom Ii went down
with her.
The following are the names of the lost ::
Mrs. A. K. Smith and child, of BROOKLYN ::
Miss Gordon, daughter of George Gordon Of
this city; John, Elizabeth and Mary Smith,
children of the Captain of the propeller !;
Stephen Prentice of New London; mate of
the Harris: George Allen, deck hand Mary
Withers, chambermaid Ann Withers, cook;
a gentleman, wife and child, their names un-
known.
The Metropolis lay by the spot until day.
light, in the hopes of saving Others, but saw
nothing. The accident occurred in conse-
quence of the Metropolis installing the pro-
pellor for a schooner, she having sails out
and no head light. George Lippon,
of New Bedford, was passenger in the Me-
tropolis, and died of apoplexy soon after the
accident.
A meeting was held on board the Metrop-
oils, and committee appointed to collect
subscriptions in behalf of the sufferers who
promptly raised $495. The night was clear
and moonlight.
An incident is related of woman seen
struggling in the water, supporting her infant
child in her arms. A rope was thrown to
her which fell within her reach, and with
which she might have saved herself by relin-
gushing her hold upon her child. She saw
the rope, pressed the child to her breast and
sunk for ever.

CITY CoUNcIL.-This body had special
meeting yesterday afternoon, to pass the
Fire Limits Ordinance, which was tabled at
last meeting With some amendments it
was passed. The limits at present are from
the river up Sbley street to Fourth, down
Fourth both sides to Jackson /; up Jackson to
Sixth, down Sixth to Roberts, down Roberts +,
east side, to Fourth again, and up Fourth
and Main streets, both sides, to st. Anthony
street, and from thence down Eagle street 10
the river. Within these limits, no frame
building over II feet high can be erected,
under penalty of $50. This does not ex-
tend, however, to those preparing to build
on the burnt districts, who have materials on
the ground.
An ordinance was introduced relative to
Fire Buckets, axes, &C., providing that every
owner AMI occupant of buildings in the above
limits shall procure a fire bucket of such
make and material as the Fire Wardens shall
order, which he shall always keep ready for
use.
A committee consisting of Aid. Emerson,
Branch and McGrorty, was appointed to as
certain the practicability and cost of making
reservoirs on the principal streets, to be filled
with water brought in pipes from the bluffs.
We think this plan perfectly feasible, and
have no doubt it will succeed.

Shooting an Editor.

DURuauE, August, 1s.-Quite an excite
ment was created this morning about 10 o.
clock, by an attempt of Prosecuting Attor-
ney, M. b. Mulkern, to shoot Mr.. Dorr, of
the Express and Herald. Mr.. M. it seems
is, in someway, remotely connected with a
case of seduction. an account of which, too
disgusting to copy, appeared in yesterdays
Express and Herald and he entered the Of
flee this nornlng with counter statement of
the case. asking Mr.. d. to publish it. Some
words passed between them, when Mr.. Null
kern fired at Mr. D. twice. Mr.. Crosby the
bonkkeeper, then sprang towards Mr. NJ, who
shot at HIM, the powder soaring his right
wrist, the only wound received in the afiray.
Mr.. M. snapped his pistol the fourth time as
he passed out of the door, chased by Mr..
Dorr, with a cane. He was rrrested, taken
before Justice Gottschalk, and bound over in
the sum of one thousand dollars.
Judging frhm the position of the parties
and ball holes in the Office of the Express and
Herald, Mr.. Dorr and Mr.. Crosby both mar
rowly escaped death. But we live in Demo-
cratic city; Mr. Mulkern holds an Office under
the rule or misrule of that party, and of
course will escape punishment.

New York, August II.

New YORK, August II.
There is but little news by this arrival
The English papers were mainly occupied
with rumors and speculations in the absence
of further advices upon the affairs of india
In the House of Lords on Monday, Lord
Manmule introduced bill empowering the
government to embody and call out the mi
litia at any time before the 25th of March
next, without having to call Parliament to-
gether again. He said that state of things
existed in India, which caused as great a
drain upon the Queens forces, as if the coun-
try was engaged in foreign war.
To meet this drain, ten new battallions
were to be raised: and the regiments were to
be increased to from $40 to 1000 tank and
file, and those serving in India, from 1000 to
1900. This could be done without going be.
yond existing acts, and the charge would
mainly fall on the East India Company, but
as time would be necessary to provide this
increase, and the country in the Interior
would be drained of troops, the embodiment
of the militia might become necessary, hence
the proposition.
After some remarks from the opposition
the bill was read the first time.
Lord Brougham moved for a return OF
electors in last Parliamentary contest and
spoke at length in favor of enlargement of
intranchise. He protested, however, against
any alteration of the Constitution Of the
country with view to make it more demo-
cratic, as he thought enough had been done

BY LlFFIE LOCKE

Thou hast passed away from my yearning sight,
As star goes out on the brow of nights
Like the trembling notes of music strain,
That never may gladden. the ear again;
Like the midnight dream of beauty bright,
Thou hast passed away from my yearning sight.
Ere the roses have faded within the bowers,
Where sweetly have glided the summer hours,
Ere the birds to the sunny south land roam,
Thou hast fed to fairer, brighter home
Fearlessly over Deaths dark tide
Thou hast gone beautiful Spirit Bride.
And the summers and winters will come and go,
With their beds of bloom, and hills of snow,
And the music sounds on lands and sea,
Will be all the same-but oh! for me
Over all seems thrown a mournfu blight,
Since thou hast passed from my yearning sight.

From Kansas.

Gov. Walker returned to Lawrence-The Cheyennes
missing.
LAWRENCE X. r., Aug. 5, 1857.
Tonight the pacifcators hover around US
again, and Lawrence sleeps in profound
peace. The last tragedy of Walker has
transmitted into comedy or illusery show,
and we are at loss to know, whether most
to pity or dspise him. But two days since
he left us with all. but forty, of the dragons,
ostensibly for the purpose of suppressing an
Indian disturbance near Fort Riley; at the
same time it was generally believed that it
was all ruse, and that he only wanted 60
get out Of his sad dilemma, by retreating
under cover of that pretense. Report says
he wendell off until yesterday morning, when
they were met by messenger from the Fort,
who reported "all's we'll" and Indians quiet !;
so the Governor and his four hundred troops
retraced their steps, and encamped at Tope-
ka last night, and tonight the most of them,
with his excellency, are once more upon our
limits.
Poor, infatuated old ninny. Fooled when
he came; fooled again when he left US, and
now he is consumately stupid not to stay
away when he is once decently out of sight.
This coming back tonight looks more
strange than anything else. 1t is all a novel
play from the first, that it is difficult to re-
gard with earnest consideration. The SOL
diers themselves, including the officers, are
tirsd of this whiting about to no purpose, at
the caprice of man who at best is so easily
mistaken. One of the officers swore without
stint when about to start away on Monday.
He said he had been ordered over here to
a Lawrence war now he was ordered to an
Indian war, and the Lore Almighty only
knew what war they might be ordered to
next. He has found by this time that he is
ordered to the Lawrence war again. And a
model war it is. The right all on one side,
and all the wrong on the other. No differ
ence is observed in the conduct of our pso-
ple-in the number of hours our laborers
work-in the tone of any public policy, or in
the efficiency and force Of our city govern
ment, whether the Governor is within thou
sand miles or not.

A RACE.-Officer 10 Powers is "some" on
a running match, but he was fairly beaten on
Tuesday. lie went in company with anoth-
er star, to house near the Foundry, to ar
rest man for an assault on woman-one
of the wife-whippers. Seeing their approach,
the monster fed toward the hill. The off
GERS gave chase, and 2:40 time was made
through the sandy road to the creek. The
man was well in advance. He pulled off his
boots and coat, and gave them to a boy he
met TO take back, and continued to make the
sand fly towards the bluff. The officers
pulled along in the rear for mile or so, and
finally lost him on Dayton's Bluff. This is
literally running man out of town.

GREAT WHEAT CRop.-One of the greatest
wheat crops in our Territory has just been
harvested off of the farm of Sam. Powers,
Esq, in Washington Co. There were about
sixty acres of land in the field, which has
produced above three thousand bushels, being
more than fifty bushels to the acre. The
grain is of the finest and heaviest quality, ac-
tualIy weighing four or five pounds more to
the bushel than standard weight! The crop
was raised from seed which had been long in
the Territory, and was thoroughly acclimated.
Winters cold has no effect on it. This crop
was put in between the Goth OF August and
the 20th Of September, part on old, and part
on new land. That on the new land yielded
rather the best

REVIVAL OF BUsINEss.-At one time yes
terday afternoon, says the Dubuque Times,
there were eight steamers at the outer levee,
busily engaged in receiving and discharging
freight. The wharf was piled up high and
close with boxes, bales, and barrels and from
the deck Of the ferryboat Peosta we counted
LOG drays and teams concentrated at and near
the landing. In word, the greatest activity
and briskness was every where displayed, and
the merchants we saw were inclined to be-
lieve that the fall trade had opened with I'M
usual activity and at a very early date.

THE LOCAL of the Times is consistent
young man. Several days since he produced
a couple of Sermons in his paper, which
would have done honor to theological stu
dent and induced many persons to suppose
that his valuable services would soon be lost
to the Press Of our city. In fact we looked
or his appearance on the street with attenu-
ated visage, habilamented in sombre garb,
and with white stove-pipe bound with
Grape, and immense choker. Judge then Of
our surprise when we picked up the Times
yesterday, and found sporting article, de-
scribing billiard match played in sci DON,
in such sportsman and fash language as might
do honor to an old e-handler-from the
pen which two days before had inveighed
against billiards, saloons, and the sporting
gentry, so vehemently that we supposed they
would close up and sell out. Tomorrow we
will probably be RECALLED with another SER
mon from the new-hedged Rev., which will

broke out in small village on the Dayton

A RUMoR ExPLAINED.-It was reported
on yesterday that an incendiary had been ar
rested while setting fire to building in Up
per Town, shortly after the fire on Roberts
street had been extinguishnd The facts are
these:
Capt. Morton was walking up Fourth
street, beyond Washington, when he saw a
light glimmer for moment through the
fog, among some frame out buildings and
shops between that and ST. Anthony street
He approached the place, when a man ran
from among the buildings. He pursued him
but as the fog rendered it very dark, could
not catch him. What he wanted at thai
time of the night, Capt. NJ. could not ascer-
tain. No good intentions, probably.
