FOREIGN NEWS.

The North America brings sad tidings from
the trial trip of the Great Eastern. The feed
pipe casing in one of the tunnels exploded, kill
Ing Eve firemen, and so iDjuring the ship as 10
delay her starting for the United States some
three weeks. The grand saloon was torn to
pieces but fortunately the guests on board had
left 1t few moments before the explosion
Though it was terrific, the great ship resisted
the shock, and her engines were not stopped
until she reached her destination. The injuries
will be repaired at cost of $4,000. The au-
gury is bad one, and public confidence in the
entire safety Of the monster ship will be shaken
by the untoward casualty.
The news from China will strike everybody
with surprise. Heretofore the Chinese have
suffered defeat 10 every contest with the French
and English. That they should at last have en-
trapped and vanguished the Allies, killing and
wounding several hundred, and forcing the enc
my to retreat, is no doubt owing to the pres
ence of Europeans in command of the batter
les as well as the Chinese. The Russians pro-
badly furnished officers and engineers, as well as
designed the Notifications. The British sus-
tanned the principal loss of officers and men,
and the defeat was most disastrous.

REPORTING THE DEBATES OF CoNoRRss The
New York papers are discussing the benefit of
reporting the debates of Congress verbatim by
telegraph. Itwould require great number Of
skilled reporters and the exclusive use of at
least two telegraph wires every day; and althO
the expense would be enormous, neither the
Tribune nor Herald consider the undertaking
beyond the habits and the enterprise of the
leading New York journals. OF course the
price would be raised during the session. The
chief objection to it is that the people will
neither care TO buy or read papers so filed up,
and that the publishers can do better with their
space; stupid reading Ican be got cheaper if
needed.

platform, the result shows a heavy loss
Last year, Buchananism was beaten 5000,
and now Douglasism is II, 900 behind. In
the counties marsbaled by the Douglas
leaders, the democracy suffer very heavy
losses while in two, where the party stood
up for Lecompton and Buchanan, they full
