DEATH OF CAPT. LUDLow.-The following is q
correct account of the manner in which Capt. Lud-
low of the steamer ARIEL lost his life during her re-
cent stormy passage from Havre to New York:
On Wednesday morning, December 9Th, it was
blowing furiously, and the immense waves, as they
leaped upwards, broke like waterspouts around the
ship or combing fell like immense breakers upon the
oceanbeach. The forward part of the warehouses on
each side were broken in and the round houses were
both washed away.
At II A. M. the ship settled deeply in the trough
forward deck. Capt. Ludlow, at the instant, was
toned by the second mate, who was standing near
him, to look out" but he had scarcely spoken the
words when all were submerged apparently ten feet
under water. Both the first and second mates were
badly injured and for the instant it was thought that
the steamer had foundered. The main-hatch was
broken in by the sea, and many tons of water went
below. Capt. Ludlow was knocked down and the
heavy drag, composed of plank and timbers, struck
him in the side. He was found lying upon his back,
with his cap washed off his eyes closed, and apparent
ly in an insensible condition.
In this condition he was conveyed to his room. He
revived sufficiently to speak few WORDS the last Of
which were: " Tell the Commodore died at the
post Of duty" He then sank back and expired. The
injury was apparently the left side two or three
of the ribs being broken and the fragments penetra
| ting the heart
| As soon as possible large box was made, the
body placed in 1T, and then packed in ice. By this
means the remains perfectly preserved, the lin
eaments of the face being natural if the deceased
was only asleep.

The Spanish and Mexican Difficulty.
Under date of the 9th the Washington correspond.
ent of the Baltimore Sun writes: N-.-


Under date of the 9th the Washington correspond.
ent Of the Baltimore Sun writes:
An erroneous impression has prevailed in regard
to the effect of the late transactions at Tampco be-
tween the Mexican authorities and the commander of
the Spanish fleet, upon the dispute now pending.
The case which, as is alleged settled between the
parties at Tampico and which has been he1aded as
final adjustment of the dispute was merely an in
ciden to the general difficulty and was not even uu.
der consideration during the negotiations between the
Spanish Government and Mr.. Lafrayna, the Mexican
minister.
Spain continues to demand redress for the matreat-
ment of her subjects in various portions of Mexico,
not only in the Cities but in the country where their
plantations have been destroyed and their houses pill
LACED. Spain also demands the payment of certain
ndemnities heretofore secured by treaty spulations
No approximation has been made to a settlement
of the Spanish Mexican question and, on the con-
trary, the Spanish Commander found no Government
with which he could treat and all negotiations have
been broken off. At Tampico, the local Mexican au
thores were forced, it seems, to surrender to their
Spanish owners certain goods which had been seized
under the decree for q forced loan.
The Spanish fleet can do nothing, it would seem
for enforcing these demands, except by bloekading
the ports, and thus suppressng the little trade which
Mexico now enjoys. They might levy contribution
on Vera Cruz and Tampico, but it would amount to
very little.
Should the U. S. Government send special minis
ter to Mexico to conclude treaty, which would be
mutually advantageous to the two countries, the en-
voy should be backed by suitable naval and military
force. But as we have not dollar or man to SPAR
for such an object we had better borrow the Spanish
| fleet, which perhaps we might do for this object
upon condition that we did not use it for taknI
Cuba. Little as Spain is likely to get from Mexico
we cannot promise ourselves any better success.
Our troubles with Mexico will, in the end, lead t
another war-an executive war, in which Congress
will follow, not lead-and when we again get tn
wolf by the ears we shall probably hold on.

How Boston PUBLISHER WAS NOT TAKEN M
Mr.. Fields, the Boston publisher has wonderful
memory, and his knowledge of English literature is
available that when friend wishes to know where
any particular passage may be found he steers at
once for the and consus the man who is very
likely to give the desired information. pompous
would be wit not long ago thinking to puzzle him
and make sport for company at dinner, informed
them prior to Mr.. F.'s arrival that he had himself
that morning written some poetry, and intended to
submit it to Mr.. F. for Southeys and inquire in which
of his poems the lines occurred At the proper mo-
ment, therefore, after the guests seated he be-
gan, "Frend F., have been good deal exercised
Of late trying to find in Sonthey's Poems his we'll
known lines, running thus--can you tell us about
whate time he wrote them 2" 81 do not remember
to have met with them before" replied MFR. F., "and
there were only two periods in Southey's life when
such lines could possibly have been written by him,
.When were those" gleefally asked the witty ques-
period of his existence when he was having the
measles and cutting his first teeth or, the close
of his life, when his brain had softened and he had
fallen into idiocy. The yersifcaton belongs to the
measles period, but the expression clearly betrays
the idiotc one. The funny questoner smiled family
| but the company roared.
