The Loss of the Steamer Sc. Nicholas
 Incidents, Sc.

The Memphis Bulletin of the 3rd inst, says;
 Among the passengers by the Phila- dephia, yesterday, from St. Louis, were Messrs. Wm. Henley and Wm. Monday, pilots, who are a committee appointed by the St. Louis Pilot Association, for tie purpose of searching for the missing re- mains of MT. Edward Stephens, one of the pilots of the il-fated St. Nicholas. They purchased two yawls at this port, and will descend the river in them, one on each side, making diligent search all along the shore. A large reward is offered by the Association for the recovery of the body information of which is to be left with Capt. E. F. Dill, at the wharf boat.
 Rev. Thos. M. Finney, of Brunswick, Mo, also came passenger on the Phila- delphia and left last evening on the John Smonds for below, in search of the bodies of his neces, Mrs. Ben. V. Cline and Miss Dennca. A liberal reward is of- fered for the recovery of either or both ot the bodies, intelligence respecting the same to be left either with Messrs. Lam- bert & Bronaugh, Helena Johnson x Peav, Napoleon; Wirt, Andrews & Co.,, Vicksburg, or with the captains ot the packets Kate Frisbee, Victoria or J. G' Cline.
 The Helena Southron of the 4th inst, says:
 The hull of the St. Nicholas was caught about one f4ii4Ie f4ii4Ie this this side of Friars Point by Mir. S. Boce, and 1t is now safe, though under water more than foot. Before it sunk he recovered several barrels of pickled pork, lard, and flour, and says that there is large quantity ot lead m Il which will be recovered when the water falls. IL is supposed that the safe IS Il in the hull, and, it is said, contains S3,0OO.
 Last week this paper announced that a tall young man was lost from the St. NIch- olas but who he was, was not known From the best information we can gather it must have been Mir. Alexander, who lives at Trenton or on Big Creek in this county. He had five negro women and all were lost
 The saved from the St. Nicholas state that all the ladies were provided with lie preservers, of worthless kind, and win dow shutters, and they jumped into the river with these; yet but one was saved They sunk immediately. before skias from the shore or Susquehanna could reach them. Several persons had hoaled under the boat and were clinging to the wheel, when it gave way and may have killed some, or they may have drowned without loosening their hold, and are now holding to the wheel.
 The Helena Shield of the 30lh ult., says:
 One enterprising individual made nce little speculation by the loss of the St. Nicholas That boat had on board num- Der of beef cattle, and some of them were blown into the river uninjured or jumped overheard after the accident, and made their way to the shore. Eight of these animals landed a short distance below thi: city, as we learn, when the man referred 10 caught them, sold the entire lot for $50 and l" sloped" with the funds. We did not hear the rascal's name.

 NEW YORK, May 6.-Paul Morphy on the eve of coming 10 the United States, played and won eight games simuta- neously blindfolJed, Two other games were drawn after playing seven hours.
 The London Herald's Paris correspond ent says Preparations for war are now being pushed forward with leverish ra- pidity, notwithstanding the professions of peace and willingness to disarm. '"
 The London Times says that prepara- tions for war continue in all quarters of France, and troops are stil concentrating al Lyons. A French army is to be col lected on the Rhine frontiers, and nume- rous cavalry regiments were on the march.
 PRUssIA-The Arch Duke Albrecht's mission to Berlin was entirely successful. A Convention had been signed, whereby Prussia agrees to send 2S,000 men under the Prince Regent to the Rhine, in case negotiations should fail. The contingent force of Bavaria is to be increased to 60,- 900 men, the eighth federal corps 10 60,000 men, and other contingents are to be held | III iCdullICSo' uC uCNepuPVlo Oi Iuooltt had been requested not to publish anything respecting these preparations. The Prus- sian Government orders corps d'annee of 10000 men to be placed on war foot ing. These measures are said to be purely on the defensive.
 The Turin correspondent of the London Times says: |" Count Cavour must fall if war is not declared, and such an even, would possibly be the signal for insurrec- tions in various parts of Italy, and perhaps be the cause of serious disturbances in Piedmont, where 10000 Italian volunteers confidently await hostiities. The steam CTS on Lake Maggiore, with one exception, have been placed at the disposal of the Government.
 The King of Naples still survives.
 The Government of Rome had sent a circular to the Bishops urging the collec- tisn oftwo legions of troops. The attempt, however, proved unsuccessful nolwith- standing large bounty was offered.
 TURKEY.-The appearances of war had aroused fears of an instruction.
 The Russian armaments at Besarabia are confirmed It is intended 10 assem- ble 100000 men in Georgia.
