A DUBIOUS LIBEL.-In the HERALD Of
London saying ''the affairs of Brown g. Bow
den, of Cardiff, will be arranged probably
without bankruptcy" This evidently contra
dicted some rumor then ahoat in London that
the firm named was on the verge of bankruptcy,
and was calculated to better their credit. But
the firm ofDavd Brown g. Bowden, of London,
writes to inform US that it will ''hold us
responsible for any and all damages" &c.
These gentlemen have the goodness to say in
the same letter that they are not ''of Cardiff"
AS they are not tho firm described perhaps
they are not libelled.

A Stormy Spring.

Not for many years in this country have we
had such cod and stormy month of March,
followed by suci tempestuous April, as we
have had and are suffering this season. From
tie Upper Mississippi and its tributaries, from
the Oaio and its feeders, from the Mohawk
and the Upper Hudson, from all the New Eng
laad Safes we have had or are getting reports
OF destructive storms, freshets and inunda-
tons. We have had similar reports from the
British islands, and at Lisbon they have Just
experienced the sensation of something like a
West Indian tornado. But all these March and
April storms north of the equator dwindle
in.o small affairs compared with the terrific
hurricane OF tho 9th Of March at Buenos
Ayres Gan autumnal equuoctal on that side of
the lne). some general details of which we
publish this morning. The sea- by the force
OF the wind, was driven into the city, and so
heavily AMI rapidly that men and horses were
drowned IN the streets, numerous buildings
were undermined by the waves and then
crus led to their found tions with the weight
OF the goods stored in them; ships were
driven on shore and wrecked, or sunk at their
anchorage, aud many sailors were drowned
TAe loss of life and property by this fearful
visitation mast have been very heavy; and
we apprehend that some of our New York
mere Iants and shippers may be among the
sufferers, though as yet we have no report to
this effect.
Alter onr prolonged season in these lati-
tudes---from the m.ddlc of December to the
middle OF Febr,tary-of soft aid bamy
weather we were apprehensve that we
should have to pay for il in the spring.
Sure enough, too, March came in like
lon and went out like a grizzly bear, and
April, which poets have sanctiied as the
month Of ''sunny smiles and tears, has been
this time as fierce in its nor;heasterly storms
as the breaking up Of cruel winter at New
foundand. We hope that tne worst is over,
and that we shall soon be favored with DAYS
and weeks of balmier winds and softer and
brighter ski $, and with a general and pro-
lonsed season Of strawberries and cream.

MISSING STEAMER.-The piece of paper found
in bottle pretending to give an account of
the burning of the City of Boston is a fiction.
1t is founded npon the report that there was
some danger of fire; but its date is too late for
its statements to be reasonable. If the City
Of Boston perished by fire that accident doubt
less occurred somewhere within the limit of
time for an ordinary passage, and not in thirty
five days from her departure. 1t is pity that
it is not possible to punish tie makers of such
hoaxes.

THE LAST APpEAL.-A suggestive idea upon
was contained in the reason given by Senator
Norton for voting in favor of State aid to the
railroads. He said that he voted 'aye" be-
cause he wanted to get the bills to the hands
of Governor Hoffman, where they would Ger
tainly be killed by veto, if the Sc rate did
not chose to stop them. This affirmative vote
might be regarded, after all, as tie most mega
tive vote cast 1t was honest and emphatic,
at least. Hoffman is the sheet anchor TO hold
on By when there is break in prospect, and it
he vetoes the railroad bills Sena ors will at
least be put on record before their constitu-
encies.

CIsIoN.-It will be seen from our reports of the
proceedings in the Supreme Court yesterday
that the appeals on the legal tender question,
upon which q new decision was expected, were
withdrawn from the court by the parties con-
cerned, and that the rehearing on the original
case asked for by Attorney General Hoar could
not, under rule of the court be granted. The
result is that the legal tender decision lately
delivered by the Chief Justice remains in force.
We think it quite probable, however, that some
new appeal before long will be brought before
the court upon which new decision cannot
be evaded,

RAILROADS IN FAVOR AT ALBANY Not
withstanding the expressed aversion to giving
State aid to the railroads we notice that no
less than seven bills ''to fac litate the con-
struction" of that number of railroads have
just passed the Senate by respectable majori-
ties. These favored roads are the M d and
and Oswego, the Adirondack, the PiatCsburg
and Whitehall--an old stager in the Legisa-
ture-the Buffalo and Washington, the Catta-
raugus road, the WaterSown and Sacketts
Harbor, and the Southern Central. Senator's
must have been convinced that the construc-
ton of these roads was a good thins for the
interests of the State, or they would not have
passed the bills. At all events, it was goot
days work for the railroads.

WEARING OuT TIE JUDGE.-We are not
surprisa ID to hear that Recorder Hackett was
yesterday through indisposition. This trial
has lasted already very long, and has been
continued with unusual regularity from day
TO day, and the mental strain on the pre-
siding judge in such case, kept up constantly
from day to day, would wear out any mortal
creature. We trust the indisposition of the
Judge may be merely passing warning Of the
necessity for lighter labor.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE EXHIBITION The
bill incorporating the Industrial Exhibition
Company, which has organized in this city 10
erect permanent Crystal Palace, passed the
Assembly yesterday, AID, having already
passed the Senate, only requires the Cover
nor's signature to become law. The project
is one of great magnitude, and as the capital
seven millions-is said TO be already paid up,
promises to be brought rapidly to completion.
We understand that the building is to be
permanent on, and after the exhibition is over
will be devoted to the uses of conservatory,
botancal and geological gardens, and to the
general education OF the masses in the beauti-
tul and strange in nature.

Tho Suez Passage-FrOm Bombay Dires
to Liverpool.

to Liverpool.
Some days since we mentioned the arrival
of the cotton steamer Danube at Liverpool
from Bombay via the Suez Canal. We have
now to record the arrival Of the steamship
Stirling, from and to the same ports, in forty
three days, in spite Of c.ogged keel and
terrible adverse gales in the Bay Of Biscay.
This passage, which is the only complete test
yet made of the practical value of the Suez
Canal, in all weathers, to British trade,
should. we think, silence the cavillings of
John Bull against the success of his French
neighbours splendid enterprise. The tina con-
sumed by the Stirling in passing from the Red
Sea to the Mediterranean through the canal
was but fourteen hours, while the whole lapse
of the voyage was but little more than one
third of the duration of the circuit heretofore
required around the Cape of Good Hope.
When we now reflect upon the fleets Of tea
ships and vessels laden with the spices and
tissues "Of Ormus and Of Ind which
annually pass between the ports OF China,
Japan, Australia and the Eastern archipela-
goes and the maritime cities OF Britain, Bel
GUM, France and Holland, we may begin to
form an adequate appreciation Of the wonderful
''sea change" that commerce between Europe
and Asia is about to undergo. Literally, by
these grand enterprises, the nations of the
earth are swiftly coming into closer bonds of
union. What stride from the banks of the
Ganges and the Euphrates to the docks Of the
Mersey and the Thames; from the pagodas of
Hindostan to the hotels of the West End;
from the dialects of ancient Sanscrit deriva-
ton to the slang of Mapping, in less than fifty
days! The world does move.

Modern war-The Coming Carnage.

I tLC OOhA huA ~ DOIuseof u4l ~
Let US not speak lightly of war, and especi-
ally of modern war. Tried soldiers look grave
when they speak of this shock of dense mas
ses to be led in a few days to field of car
mage, there to make trial of the engines of de-
struction with which the two belligerelt DOW
ers are amply provided. The dead will be
reckoned by hundreds of thousands, and the
next day there will be mourning in a million
of families. The antiqae courage OF those cav
alters, mailed in iron, whose ightest exploits
were pompusly celebrated, seems to pale be-
fore there signation of the modern soldier, ex-
posed uncovered to the fire of chassepot and
mltrailleuse.
There is talk OF experiments made within
these few days i'll the environs OF Paris with
cannon of a new model, breech-loading, and
firing forty balls at each discharge. 1t is the
pistol revolver system applied to artillery,
with this great difference, that the projectiles
do not follow the one line Of fire, but form a
semi-circle. These guns are divided in four
sections, each portable by one man. They
are put together and screwed up tight in three
or four minutes. The Prussians also have, it
seems, their revolving gun and their field
mitrailleuse. We read that these weapons
have been tested and constructed with the
greatest secrecy. The place of manufacture
was surrounded by Gordon of traops, under
the most precise orders to repel all curious in
quiry.

last night in his room. His head was beaten
to ajelly with a ship carpenters iron tool
known as "dog" The room was covered
with blood. A servant and two sons in an
adjoining room heard no noise The deceased
was native Of the United States. His age
was ffty-six years. The Stock Exchange, of
which AIr. Nathan was a member, offers ten
thousand dollars reward for the apprehension
of the murderer.
The murder OF Mr.. Nathans has created an
excitement almost equaling that of the Bar
dell tragedy. The scene Of the murder was an
elegant brown stone front mansion near Fifth
avenue. His head was covered with wounds.

Highly important Showing.

We urge the earnest considera-
Of our citizens to the following from
the New York Tribune.
The new Census returns begin to
show whether the Tribune did or did
not do injustice to the Democracy
at our late election in charging them
with the most shameless frauds in
some of the Wards in this city.
Here is the table of the total popu-
lation, men, women and children,
aliens and citizens in certain Wards,
and beside it the vote reported as
cast in the same places, last May,
by male citizens above the age of
twenty-one, having the other quail
finations of voters. How did there
come to be twice as many voters as
there were inhabitants of all ages
and both S, xes, unless there was
fraud? And if, as some flippant
papers have brazenly pretended, the
Republicans committed the frauds,
how did the Democrats come to get
the votes? Look at the monstrous
disgrace.

Thursday evening: To-day about twelve
o'clock an appalling storm OF wind and rain
swept over this city and vicinity, doing an I'M

still to come, as the heretics, and
