The Royal Charter with $50 Persons and
Half a Million In Gold Lost!

MONTREAL, Nov. 1.-The following i'm
portant news is taken from the Liverpool
Post of Oct. 20, a copy of which was OBJ.
tanned by the North American:
The public will learn with overwhelming
grief that the splendid vessel, the Royal
Charter, was totally lost yesterday in Muffa-
red Bay, near Bangor. Of upwards of 400
persons who were on board, only ten are
said to have been saved. There is some hope
that this statement is exaggerated but under
the circumstances the loss of life, it is feared,
has been immense. The vessel had half a
million in gold on board.
When the disaster took place, is not def.
nitely known, for the telegraph had ceased
to work, and so destructive had been the
storm along the coast yesterday, that the
Chester and Birkenhead railway had been
destroyed in two places.
Twenty of the dead bodies had been wash
ed ashore at Penmanawe.
The bay in which the catastrophe occur
red is two or three miles westward of Putin
island, in Anglesea, and six or seven miles
to the Northwest of Beatmans. 1t las a
shallow, sandy beach for several miles, with
promontories at each end of the bay. The
country around is wild, and there are but a
few houses about.

DEDICATioN.-The new German Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, situated on the cor
ner of Sixth and Rosabel Streets, was dedi-
Gated last Sabbath. The services in the
forenoon were in the German language, and
in the afternoon, with the exception of the
hymns, were in English. The singing was
done by the whole congregation, with ap-
parently one heart and voice, and with an
earnestness and pathos that elevated and
touched the heart, and made the very blood
to tingle in ones veins. We do not know
but there was great deal of musical dis
cord therefor all that we know, each of
the singers may have been on different
pitch, and more or less out of harmony
but the sound thrilled US with sense OF
true worship, and gave us an idea of the
power of congregational singing, which the
efforts made in some Of our American
churches have never excited. There is one
fact connected with this church, which is
alike creditabe to the generosity, thrift,
and foresight of our German friends, and
might we'll be initiated by all. They have
built in these hard times, handsome brick
church, that is an ornament to the part Of
city in which it is situated, at cost of
about $4,000, lin other times and in other
hands it would have cost $S,O0O,) and, with
the exception of the small sum of $40O, it il
all paid for.

From New Orleans and Mexico,

New ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-THE steamship
Robert Waterman, from New Orleans to
Matagorda, run ashore on the 9Th inst. near
Tombolier Island. The passengers and
crew were saved. 1t is doubtful about saving
the steamer.
The election is perfectly quiet In the
4th district they elect one legislator, one

A Useful Parsonage.

A correspondent Of the New York Times
writes to that paper from Paris, as follows
There lives in Paris handsome and in
telligent negro, known to many Americans
named George Diggs. George is not only
accomplished, but clever. He speaks many
languages, and is particularly we'll posted
in diplomatic usages. This fact, indeed
has gained for him the title of " Diplomatic
George" His tall, we'll formed person and
fine presence, suits for this sort of function
1t was till lately the boast of George that
within a period of fifteen years no Ameri-
can Minister from Paris to Constantinople,
or from st. Petersburg to Naples, had been
able to arrive at his post or 60 through the
social part of his initiation into business
without his aid. Without George always
at his elbow to direct them, there was no
salvation. He pioneered the way through
the different countries and different dialects
without the Minister, (who, either through
the agency of bis baggage or other means,
always allowed his official capacity to be
known) coming in contact with the people.
Arrived at his future residence, George took
upon himself everything; he first took a
house; then arranged for the visit to the
Palace and the presentation of credentials !;
indicated the etiquette of the first calls upon
the Cabinet and the diplomatic corps; often
accompanied the Minister as interpreter or
to whisper last word or direction into bis
ear in the antechamber. On all the points
of diplomatic etiquette, George was up to
the mark, and was immensely useful, in fact,
indispensable. When he had set the diplo-
matte machine fairly going, George peck.
eted bis fee and came back to Paris to wait
for another arrival.
l have met George frequently lately in
the streets, looking melancholy and quite
out of sorts. He finds the time very long
till the next Presidential election

The Great Balloon.
rom the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, Oct, 8

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser Oct 81.
Prof. T. s. G. Lowe commenced this
morning to initiate his great balloon, "The
City Of New York." and the reservoir
grounds, where the process is going on, were
opened for exhibition. Everything is up
on the ground, and the curious can now
see the machine with all the appurtenances
The Professor feels sanguine of success,
but his visitors entertain various opinions
thereon. The balloon, not having much gas
in this morning, did not show its prodlgious
proportions to great advantage, but enough
was to be seen to give the visitors an idea
Of what it was intended to be. The metal.
lie life-boat was brought up this morning,
and attracted much attention. 1t is nothing
more than an ordinary boat of Francis
pattern, having small shaft in the bow on
which to attach the propeller.
The caloric engine is already fired up and
putting away vigorously. This is intended
to operate the propeller. The lime stove is
an object of much curiosity. This is nothing
more than an ordinary tin kettle, having
another kettle about half as deep sitting in
side. Into this small kettle is fitted another
about half as large, and the whole is cover
ed close. The coffee is placed in the first
or largest kettle; the lime in the next
smallest. and the potatoes, or whatever is to
be baked, is put in the smallest kettle. The
heat is then produced by the shaking of the
lime, and the cooking process goes on adj
mirably. Apples can be baked in two
minutes and coffee served up hot all the
time.
1t is estimated that it will require about
ten days to fill the balloon and prepare for
start for Europe.

"Acorn," writing to the Spirit of tile
Times, says: Our young giant, DR.. George
B. Winship, of Roxbury, Mass, continues
to increase in strength, and now lifts with
his hands, unaided by any straps or bands
except those given to him by the Almighty,

l have seen him do, with as much apparent
ease as an ordinary man can lift three hum
dred and fifty pounds This extraordinary
young man only weighs one hundred and
forty-tKo pounds, and is but twenty-five
years old. If he keeps increasing his
strength as he has the past year, by the
time he is thirty years old be will be indeed
"Samson." He has delivered his lecture
in Portland, Me-, in Amherst, Mass, in
Springfield, in Worcester, and in various
other towns and cities to overfowing audi
ences, and will repeat it in Albany, Troy,
and Buffalo, and has invitations from more
towns and cities than he can possibly re-
spond to for months to come. He hopes,
however, to be able to deliver the lecture
and give illustrations in New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and some of the other
Southern cities, during the coming winter
This young man is not only physically
strong, but has an intellect equal to his ex.
traordinary muscular powers. He is giant

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1.-The overland mail,
with dates to the 18th ult., arrived here
last night.
Great preparations were being made at
San Francisco to receive Gen. Scott. All
the military companies, and soldiers in the
Mexican war, would meet him on his arri-
val and escort him through the city. All
classes of citizens were preparing to pay him
their tribute of respect.
The creditors of Messrs. Cherpenning &
Co., mail contractors between California
and Salt Lake, had attached the stock and
other property for debts amounting to $780,
900.
1t was feared that the mails would be
suspended in consequence of this failure.
The water courses throughout the State
were at the lowest stage, ndminers holding
claims in the beds of streams were getting
rich harvests of gold.
The advices from Oregon are to the 9Th
of October.
Five hundred and fifty emigrant wagons
had arrived at the Cascades, Washington
Territory.
Captain Waller, of the Salt Lake expe-
dition, and Lieutenant Mullen, of the Fort

Business at San Francisco was slow, and
little doing from first hands except by auc-
ton, the sales in India goods in that way
being quite heavy. Provisions dropping.
Crushed sugar lie. Coffee more buoyant.

BLAcKwOoD MAGAz1NE.-The October
number of this magazine contains, among
many others, highly interesting article
made up from the journal of Capt. SEKE,
a noted Central African Traveller, who is
supposed to have discovered, in vast lake
near the Mountains of the Moon, the sources
of the Nile. The narrative of the adven.
turous traveller is full of the most exciting
interest. An article on the metaphysical
writings of Sir WILLIAM HAMILTON, and an
other on the adventures of the members of
the Alpine Club, are, perhaps, the most at
tractive of remaining contributions. Black
wood, and the four English quarterlies, are
published by LEONARD SoorT & Co., New

Local Affairs.

The MARKErs.-We have no particular
change to notice in our markets, and our
quotations will be found to be about the
selling rates at the present time. Large
quantities are being received, and find pur.
chasers without any difficulty.
In Chicago, on the 18th, the grain market
was frmer and more active, with light re.
ceipts. The farmers are holding back their
wheat, and will continue to do so as long as
the present prices continue to prevail. The
sales of wheat amounted to $4,000 bus. at
$1.03al.04 for No. red winter, 90c for
No. 2 red winter, 84c for No. l spring, and
82a83c for No. do. Corn was more &C.
tive and lower, and 10000 bus. sold at Csc
for new shelled, and 35a3ec in the ear. Oats
lower, sales made at 28a30c in store. Flour
active.
In Milwaukee, the Wheat market was
rather dull, and had declined lac, the total
transactions not exceeding 10000 bushels,
while receipts were upwards of sixty-four
thousand. The closing sales were at the
following figures &c for No. 2 spring, "a
as5c for No. l, S7aS8c for club, and 89a90c
for extra.
In St. Louis, on the 9Th inst, Wheat was
rather dull, but without material decline in
price. The sales comprise l25 bags poor
fall at Soc; 80 bags good spring at s5c;
$40 do club at 9Oc; 365 do common and
fair fall at 90a95c; 1920 bags good and
prime fall from 81 20 to $l.O5; l0,637 bags

entirely defeated, with four wounded, none
killed. He afterwards sent letter demand
ing of the citizens of Brownsville surrender
of the sheriff and others to save destruc.
ton OF the town. A general panic was at
Brownsville. The city was barricaded and
trenches were dug. An attack was hourly
expected.
1t was reported that after the attacking
of Brownsville, Cortinas will attack Brazos.
The Mayor of Brownsville has appealed to
the Mayor of New Orleans for 100 men, as
the citizens were worn out and the Rangers
have not arrived from Mexico.
Sixty felons were released from prison
at Victoria, and had Joined the guerilla
band and were devastating the country.
The election was proceeding quietly.
