Corone1's 1nquest-Cause OF tho Accident.
One Of the most appalling ca1amtties that
ever occurred in this city took place yesterday
morning, when the propeller Globe, lying at
Mcssrs. Ha1c & Co.'s dock, on the north side
Of the river, adjoining and below Wells street
bridge, blew up with fearful violence, tearing
the steamer In pieces, with large destruction
Of property and with the loss, as is believed at
present writing, Of fifteen OF sixteen lives,
seven dead bodies, recovered, now awaiting in
quest, or having been delivered to friends.
The Globe was a propeller of the largest
class, aud came into port yesterday morning
from Buffalo, with I large cargo of 1niseellane-
Gus freight consigned to various parties. She
also brought several cabin and deck passed.
gers. She reached her dock about four o'clock
\. H. Early in the morning her passengers
left, and the ordinary work Of dischargiug her
cargo commenced.
While thus employed, her decks and the
dock presented the usual appearance, the crew
and steyedores busy in getting out the freight,
citizens and bystanders grouped about, either
interested in the proceedings rs owncrs orcon-
signecs, OF idly looking on Without fno-
ment's warning the larboard boiler blew up
with terrific violence, rcnding and shive.ing
the steamer amidshtps to her very keel, and
filling the air with flying fragments Of her wood
and iron, and cargo. Never was an expression
though old and tritc, more applicable, such
was the shower Of the rubbish Of the wreck
shot upwards and in all directions with force

The first question when such sccne bursts

as to the destruction of life, and large force

ransses Of debris upon the dock to rescue II

the dead.
The steam ire-cngine AAantic was fired up
and brought down to the dock, in readiness

such need occurred.
This work at the wreck was prosecuted Wig
orously throughout yesterday, and up to the
present writing the number Of persons killed
or missing is fifteen or sixteen, the doubt be-

Our friend b. lfallefret las disen-
tombed the remains of some gigantic
antedeluvian monster. We visited him
on tuesday, when he had succeeded in
taking out the upper jaw and head of
some animal bearing some resemblance
to the elephant-two tusks, about four
feet in length, were taken out with the
jaw and head. From the position of the
remains they had evidently been seat
tered, as the balance of the bones are
not yet found. The spot in which these
remains were found is just few hundred
yards above the lower falls, ten feet
from the present hight of the water, and
on the Alexandria side.

A New Succession ABOUT THE PopE.-
The idea Of installing the Pope in Jeru-
salem has been broached by the French
press. They say it is no further from
Jerusalem to Jaffa, than from Rome to
the seaport, Civita Vecchia; railroad
would place Jerusalem within one hour
of the Mediterranean, and it wonld be
nearly as convenient for the Catholic
world as Rome is now. 1t would add
also very much to the advance of Chris
tianity in the East. The French army
in Syria cain easily take possession of
Palestine If the Sultan should dare re-
fuse demand for it; in fact, they say it
would be the easiest way to settle the
Roman question.

BRYASr's OPINION OF THE W1NASs'
SrEAnER.-W. Cullen Bryant, the distin-
guishcd editor Of the New York Evening
Post, recently passed through Baltimore,
and was taken to see the cigar steamer
of Mr.. Winans In letter written to
his paper Mr.. Bryant thus describes tho
reflections suggested by the visit: *+
A trial trip has recently been made
with this steamer. - 1t ran round one
of the fastest steamers in our Aarbor,"
said gentleman to me, playing about
it like a shark about sailing packet"
| do not know what may be the expec-
tations of the Messrs. Winans in regard
to its speed, but the talk at Baltimore is
of making the passage to Europe in four
Or five days, bearing with it the mails
and specie and few passengers. As /
looked Oh this enormous iron shuttle, the
velocity of which can be scarcely more
affected by storms and head-winds than
that of a fish, and thought of it darting
through the sea with the speed which is
claimed for it, it occurred to me that if
sailing vessel should come in it's way it
must be pierced through and through,
like u pine shinglc by bullet @

IRON HOOPS AND TIE S
For Cotton Bales.

Price, 6 cents per pound-25 per cent less
than Rope
ANY one considering the advantages of Iron
over Rope as a material for binding cotton bales
will be surprised that it has not been adopted
long since. In its security against fire there is
| an overwhelming reason for its adoption.
The presses in the Seaport Cities have been
the main canse of its not being generally adopt
ed; but, now that objection is removed gener-
ally, and the Orleans Press, the largest in N. O.,
give 1t the preference over rope. The Fassmann
Iron Hoop and Tie is the improvement of one
of the proprietors, and is adopted from the fact
that it is found. after long experiment, to COM
bIne the greatest merits in simplicity and facility
OF application of any one yet made, 1t is SO
prepared as to require no change for recon-
pressing. Thus obvating the only remaining
difficulty at the sea board cities.
The hoops are sent Of any length from eight
to ten feet and full guarantee given that
neither the Ties nor Hoops shall break. And
further, that all cotton bound in them shall be
received on the same terms at the Orleans Press
as rope bound cotton. The weight per bale is
about the same as rope, not one pound more or
less.
To show the opinion Ship Masters have of it.
we give the following, among numerous COM
mendations we have:
The undersigned masters of vessels having
had cotton compressed with Fassmanns new Iron
Hoops and Ties, hereby recommend the same
The bales being well compressed, and the but
tons or hoops never breaking when thrown
down in the ships hold OF when slowed.
