IUNkel,The IOSs.

san FEANcIsco, October 1S.-Obsequies of
honor to the late Gen. Wright and wife, who
were lost with the steamer Brother Jonathan
and whose bodies were recovered from the
ocean, were observed to-day at the Catholic
church.
Private dispatches have been received from
the interior, which state that the accounts
sent abroad concerning the late earthquake in
this city were not exaggerated
The press reports sent East were as accu-
rate as could be made at the time When the
excitement had passed away, the general ver-
diet was that the people were more frightened
than hurt.
1t may require 100000 to restore the dam
aged buildings to their former condition.

Ncysrs Editors :-Yo would probably do a kind
ness i'll quarters least by stating in reference
TO the terrible case of poisoning in St Louis by cor
rosvc sublimate Gust rcported0 that the difference
between this substance and calomel, so far as active
poisoning is involved is that the former is readily
soluble in water and the latter is not to the extent
of harm. Frequent washings in clear water will dis
solve out all corrosive subimate from calomel Care
lessness in the manufacture of calomel may leave
corrosive sublimate mingled with it, calomel being
subchloridc of mercury, and corrosive sublimate bi
chloride Of mercury. Calomel contains S. per cent
quicksilver and corrosive sublimate contains little
under IS per cent.

Horrible Death from AEy,;ron,,oI,;a.

Edwin bartholomew, one of the unfortunate per-
sons bitten by rabid dog in this city last June died
of hydrophobia about five o'clock this morning. We
understand Mr.. B. first complained of being unwell
day before yesterday morning, but thought nothing
OF his illness until yesterday afternoon when he went
to consult DR.. florence; During the day he acted
very strangely accusing his friends of being afraid
him, and thinking him mad AT one time he became
quite angry at a friend who met him at the Doctors
office. Late in the afternoon he was attacked with
severe fit of hydrophobia. The local editor of the
Herald thus describes his visit at this time:
Nv e visited the room i'll which he was confined and
behold spectacle which outdid all the horrors that
we have ever witnessed or heard of.
Ihe young man was a raying maniac and was the
subject of the most dreadful of visions From his
mouth tho poisonous frothy saliva flowed in copious
quantities, and his eyeS-wild, garng and enlarged

were in motion all the time, as though grasping at
person who was attempting his life. His rawlings
were really appalling. Hewas not secured at a late
hour, although well guarded by some OF our citizens

| LONDON, Friday, October l3.-The papers
| generally comment on the correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Adams and Earl Russell.
| The Times can hardly doubt that the propo-
sal for a commission relative to the response
| bility of England for the ravages committed
upon American Commerce by rebel cruisers
fitted out in England. will ultimately be ac-
cepted, and says ''it is the best if not the only
| solution, and the candid and friendly tone of
argument between Earl Russell and Mr.. Ad-
| ans justies that expectation
Other journals also express hopes Of an
| amicable solution of the question.
Earl RUSSELL it appears, repudiates all liabil
ity and refuses all arbitration.
Earl Russell, in his despatch to Mr.. Adams,
says that Her Majesty Government must de-
cline to make reparation and compensation for
captures made by the Alabama, or refer the
question to any foreign State. The Govern
ment, however, is ready to consent to the ap.
pOintment of a commission to which shall be
referred all claims arising during the late civil
war, which the two Powers shall agree to refer
to the commissioners.
Mr.. Adams considers that there is now no
dispute as to the fact that the recognition of
the South as belligerent was such an act as
was never done by one nation towards another
in state of amity. He charges the British
Government with having acted without knowl-
edge and upon mere presumption. in assllm-
ing that the evidence of the blockade was i'm
perfect.
The blockade was a consequence, not the
c0use, of British policy. He intimates that
if the doctrines and practices of the British
Government are allowed to become the rule,
the United States will not be the greater losers
thereby. Mr. Adams does not appear to think
that the proposal of Earl Russell to refer the
question i'll dispute to commission will be
accepted by the United States.
