DISASTER.
shlnwreck Oa Cape Ma,

At S A. NJ. of the Sth inst, sudden hurricane
sprang up in latitude 3s deg so min, longitude u 80,
about 1850 miles to the eastward Of Cape May, in
which the whaling barque Thomas Winslow ofssNew
Bedford, was thrown upon her beam ends, and ra-
pldly filled with water. The shock was so sudden,
larger sails having been doube-reefed in expscta-
ton of squall, that four OF the crew were
washed away, the rest barely gaining a
place on the mizzen chains. Working for dear
life, the sailors at once cut away the weather
laAyardsi fore, main, and mizzen, and
the ship partially righted the sea breaking over her
with terrific force. While the weather lanyards
were being cut away seven men were washed OF
from the mizzen chains OF whom only four were
saved, the others struggling wildly for moment,
then going down exhausted and in full sight OF their
comrades. AS soon as the vessel righted, Captain
Russel seeing that the only chance for life and
home lay in the advent Of vessel, set the survivors

Of his crew to keep sharp outlook for sail. From
A. M. until r. M, the weared sailers clung des-
perately to the wreck, tired and worn out and
almost desparing, but at the latter hour the gale
began to abate, and their position became somewhat
more endurable At p. NJ. large brig-rlgged
steamer passed two miles to the leeward heading
west, but no efforts of the shipwrecked mariners
could avail anything in causing their signal OF dis
tress TO be seen. The vessel steamed on those on
board little dreaming of the misery she left in
her wake, and Captain Russell and his men were
again left to their lonely watch. In a short time
afterwards their signal attracted the attention OF
Captain Cowell of the brig T. ii. A. Pitt who put on
little more SAIL passed under the lee OF the stranded
vessel, and in few moments sent boat to the res
cue OF the shipwrecked Before dark the officers
and crew of the Winslow-ifteen in all--were safe
on board the Pitt, which sailed off on her way to
Bermuda. Mr.. John Whiting, first officer OF the Pitt,
is entitled to great credit for his eXertions, as he
voluntarily took charge of the boat which was sent
the 10th inst the Pitt fell in with the Danish brig
Jylland, Captain HoIding and this officers kindly Of
ered to bring such OF the survivors as he could ac-
COmmOdate to New York. The following Officers
and men avaed themselves OF his kindness; Cap
tain Elihu Russell; ID. w. Simpson, first mate
Charles f. Childs, second mate; Charles Rewenter
third mate; and George II. Cleveland, seaman. The
names of the seven men who were drowned are
John A. Amos, OF Jamaica Plains; Rufus Dexter, OF
Marion; Henry Wingard, German; Manuel, Por-
tuguese; and three French Creoles, names un-
known.
The schooner Daniel Il. Wiletts, of Stonington,
Connecticut, from EliZabethport, New jersey sprung
aleak while passing the Kills yesterday, making
about 5000 strokes an hour. She was subsequently
run ashore at Whitestone, Long Island, TO avoid
sinking, and now lies at that point.

GOLD.
A Conspiracy to Raise the Premium.

From the Netc York Tribune Of this Morning.
We are credi5ly informed that certain nanciers of
our city, in combination with European capitalists
have conspired to buy and Withdraw thirty millions
of gold, with intent to compel those who must nav
gold at the custom House or elsewhere to buy Of
them at eXorbitant rates.
We call upon the Secretary OF the Treasury to take
the needu steps to ascertain the facts and II there
be such combination, to use the power lodged in
his hands as the public good requires. The Trea-
sury has gold to sell-a good pile OF it-and it is the
highest. IT, then, the conspratOrs put up the price
OF gold, let him improve the opportunity to obtain
such price for as many millions Of that commodity
as the market will take. And, to preclude all pre-
tense that he thereby makes money (greenbacks)
"tght let him buy bonds as fast he sells gold so
as to leave the money market wholly unaffected.
Mr. Boutwell, can surely ascertain that such con-
spracy does or does not exist IL it does submit
that MS duty Is plain and mperative-to sell gold so
long as the market will take it, and invest the pro-
ceeds in bonds.

termned TO buy in the line, and no opposition was
offered.

proposed as President and intend issuing 49, 900

THE SABINE.
The story of the Attempt to Blow Up the
EriQuIe.

The story of the Attempt to Blow Up the
FriguIe.
From the ". y. Times Of this morning.
Our Paris correspondent writes about the attempt
to blow up the Sabine at CherbOurg, which was
vaguely alluded to by cable despatch some days
ago, and caused considerable alarm, as foows:-
'"The Journal du Hare of Monday, contains the
account OF the execution OF seven American Sailors
in the open sea before Cherbourg, for being con-
cerned in a plot to blow up the United States
frigate Sabine. The following the details -
For the last ten days the frgate had been anchored
in the roadstead On Saturday morning q mid
shipman descended into the hold to execute
an order from of his superiOrs and per-
ceived a match one end Of which was burning, and
the other OF which communicated with the powder
magazine. He hastily reascended and apprised the
officers on board OF the fact, that the match was
Immediately eXtingushed. 1t was time, for few
minutes later the frgate would have been blown up
'The commander on board the Sabine Immediately
commenced an inquiry, which led to the discovery OF
a plot having for its object the destruction of the
American frigate and OF the whole of its personnel
The authors of this wicked attempt did not reco
before the prospect OF certain death in order to
satisfy their savage vengeance. Twenty-Five sailors
were placed in irons and seven were condemned to
be hung Immediately Before executing them,
the commandant OF the Sabine applied to the
competent authority at Cherbourg for permission
mission was not granted. The Sabine therefore
Immediately lifted her anchor put out to sea, and
had barely quilted the roadstead when ropes working
on pulleys hoisted the guilty wretches into the air.
Human justice was satisfied, and example of ter
ribe punishment given. Several boatmen, who hap
pened to be behind the mole, witnesses of this
sad spectacle"

FINANCE AND COMMERCE..
OFFICE OF THE EVENING TELEGRAPH,(
Wednesday, Sent Ia 1859 (

The weekly statement OF the New York banks for
the past week a satisfactory proof that the
market had been tampered with by stock specu-
lators with the aid or connivance OF the bank ofi
cials. The market last week suffered a combined
loss in legal-tenders and specie Of nearly $1,000
whilst the deposits during the week fell of
only s2,277, 900. With this heavy loss in re-
sources, it is curious fact that the
Ioans should have increased considerably over
So 600 600! These anomalies are to be accounted
for on the assumption that legal tenders have been
locked up TO the extent OF several Millions and that
loans are being Illegally made on currency colate-
rails. Inasmuch as these proceedings have demo-
razing effect on finance and trade all over the coun-
try, 1t would be We'll II the Treasury Department
would order thorough investigation into the matter
and punish the guilty parties severely:
The rates OF the past week are still current, with
no probability Of an early change
Gold opened with rather weak feeling, and the
market is unusually free from nuctuatlon, opening
and closing at noon at 1895.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 15.-John NJ. Kruetz, a
respectable butcher, residing at No. 263 Wade
street, has been in the habit of rising before 3
o'clock on market days to prepare for the morn

Wade and Everett just around the corner from
his residence.
Yesterday morning he arose as usual about

ing his horse. A few minutes after he had gone
a pistol report was heard by Mrs. Kruetz. She
did not at once surmise the terrible truth. A
very few minutes of unaccustomed delay, how
ever, on the part of her husband sufficed to
awaken her anxiety. She went to the corner,
and saw the horse ready harnessed and a wagon
standing by the open door of the stable.
TO the latter she went at once and called. Re-
ceiving no answer she was hurrying back to
call the eldest daughter when she stumbled upon
the form of her husband, lying lifeless in the
gutter by the wagon. She shrieked murder, and
ran home, meeting the daughter at the door.
Together, and Joined by the aroused neighbors,
they returned to the corpse. 1t appeared that
the entire right side of the upper part of the
head of the murdered man was gone.
Even the brain was missing, and it
was not found till daylight revealed
it scattered horribly upon the boarding
of the opposite stables. A small pocket-pistol,
empty, lay by the body, and had apparently
been the instrument of death. The pockets of
Kruetz had been turned inside out, and his
pocket-book, empty, was found a few feet from
where he lay. The deceased was forty-nne
years of age, and leaves wife and five children.

This was the RESULT
Deery won the lead, and laid his own ball near the
bottom cushion on the right hand side. Foster
missed and Deery scored an easy 9. In the fourth
inning Foster woke up to a run of 81, and the play
began in earnest. From the fourth inning Foster
gradually drew away from his opponent until on the
fourth call at the end of Fosters seventeenth
inning, the score stood Foster, 3O2: Deery 1S2 In
the next five innings Deery spurted with runs of 63
33, and Co. until the sixth call was had and the score
showed Foster, 312; Deery, 1853. During Fosters
next large run he made the remarkably quick time
of thirty-fOur points in minute. He played very
brilliantly for the first half of the game, but after
Deery came even with him his nerve seemed to fail
him, and though some OF his shots were very bril-
liant, he lost the perfect command of the balls
which he had before exhibited. Deery played with
