NEW YORK. December 30-Arrived-
Terry, City of Austin, Livingston, Georgia,
Manhattan, Mississippi, and Rhein, from
Brentn.
The German steamer Thuringia during
her recent voyage had the first boatswain
killed during fearful gale.
Ono hundred prisoners from the work
house are working to-day on the ruins Of
the Ct&'re street fire.
Weather clear aud pleasant.
The steamship Regulator from Whining
ton, h.e on board the captain and crew of
the schooner Hannah Little, of Philadel-
phia.o orescGed at sea ON the tWenty-seventh,
the latter being a complete wreck, and the
men having been Iashed to the wreck
twenty six hours.
The schooner Hannah Little, the crew of
which was rescued by the steamer Regu-
latOr, was from Wilmington, North Caro-
lima. On the night Of the twenty-tfth
instant, during heavy gale from the south
southeast, the schooner struck on a point of
Hattaras shoals, and soon became water
logged, and relied over on her beam ends,
compelling all hands to get mp on her sides,
in which position they remained until res
cued in an almost exhausted state by the
steamer Regulator.
The East and North rivers are both badly
blocked with ice.
The Louisiana committee in long letter
published this morning, denies the state
ment made by Senator Kellogg in his bill
of complaint fled in theo United States
Circuit Court and saws Kell0gg's object in
wishing to get possession ofsthe Louisiana
election returns was expressed in what he
charged upon the returning officers and the
Goyernor-that is, to falsify and suppress
or destroy them, in order to make it appear
that he had been elected Governor.
The Brooklyn fire marshal reports that
three of the principal hotels in that city are
insecur6as to fire escapes.
A large crowd gathered at the Centre
street ruins to-day, where one hundred men
are at work removing the debris. The inten-
ton Of employing workhouse prisoners has
been abandoned, and poor laboring men
engaged.
Alderman Gilsey attributed $500 toward
the expenses Of the search for the bodies
of the missing girls. Judge Bowling and
ex-CongressmaD Morgan Jones promised to
increase their contributions, and Coroner
Herman offered $500. One body only has
been recovered so far, but pieces of shawls,
stockings, etc, have been found.
Controller Green has written Coroner
Hoorman that be can not put the expense
of the work in the tax levy, as that is
already made up, but he will see that it is
paid. The second contribution of the CIti-
zens is made necessary because of the un-
willingness of the authorities or the lessee
of the burned buildings to assume the risk Of
litigation should they enter upon the work
without the warrant of law.
j. S. Adams, collector Of the port of Pen
sacola, has disappeared from the hotel in
Jersey City. AS he had large amount of
money with him, foul play is feared.
