Already the birds of evil omen are flock-

entirely possible on the theatre of the

as Is brewing, may drive them into dis

ANOTHER DANGER ON sH1pBoI
BILLS REPORTED.

ANOTHER DANGER ON sHIpBoARD.-A
marvellous accident nearly caused the
death of the living freight of the steamship
ENGLAND, from Queenstown, 18th ultimo,
for New York. She had about 200 passen-
gers, and among her cargo an immense
amount of bleaching powders in barrels.
On the fifth day out las detailed by the New
York Herald) the crew working below were
suddenly driven on deck by the presence of
offensive, suffocating fumes. The last to
reach the deck fell senseless, their eyes
almost protruding from their sockets, their
mouths wide open, and with death i'm
printed on every lineament of their coun-
tenances. Next, the head wind drove the
Stygian fumes into the saloons, and the pas
sengers, in a panic, fled to the deck, gather
ing forward, where the wind gave breath
ing-place. Attempts failed to throw over
board the noXious cargo, which had caused
the trouble by the shifting and breaking open
Of some of the barrels, the contents Of
which, uniting with the water shipped in a
gale, developed the poisonous gases, and
the efforts to lower fremen to the engine
rooms to replenish the fires under the boil
ers were also futile. In the meantime every
bit Of metal about the ship was fast turning
q sort Of white or pearl color, and the men
who had to handle shovels, bars, or any
thing that this sediment, IS it were, had ac-
cumulated, upon, soon had their hands so
badly eaten that they cracked open, and
rendered them powerless to longer work.
Finally the ship was put about, and re-
turned to Queenstown under sail, where
the powder was thrown over by means of
graphing irons, and the passengers were
transferred to the Italy, which sailed on the
18th, f'
