terdsy at the Asry-le-Bone Registry
Office, the bride being Emile Jane Aer-
rimsn, aged thirty-nlne, and an Amer
lean widow, daughter Of Arsa Butter
field. Dean Stanley and others were
present.
Loss Of the Steamer America.
The news OF the loss Of the Pacific
Mail Company's steamer America, oy
fire, created q visible effect in Wall
street yesterday. Considerable excite
ment prevailed for some time. The
Company's offices were besieged, every
one being anxious to obtain a verlfca
ton of the report and further particu'
lars. About $50 P. NJ yesterday the
Com pany receired dispatch annouoc
Jog the loss OF the steamer and the
safety of the passengers and crew. The
dispatch also stated that four hundred
thousand dollars in specie is believed to
be safe. No further particulars have
been received. The America was the
best and newest vessel OF the Company
and valued at over q million dollars.
The New Yor8 steam Vessel Owners
Association.
The members of the New York
Steam Vessel Owners Association, rep
resenting over fifteen millions Of capital,
met yesterday. permanently organized
and elected officers; also selected dele
gates to the Steamboat Convention at
Cleveland, Ohio, on the oath instant.
Yellow Fever.
The Spanish frigate Numaucia still
lies at Southwest Spit. No new cases
of yellow fever occurred. All are con.
valescent.
The Matis Disaster.
1t is now stated that the number OF
lives lost by the Metis disaster has been
greatly underestimated. A good many
emigrauts and excursionists sailed from
New York on the ill-tated steamer
whose names were not registered.
Three ladies named Armstrong, whose
names do not appear on the register,
are among the lost. 1t is supposed that
the sand at Watch Hill covers many
bodies.
The Vermont Election.
A Tines special from White Riv-
er Junction. Vermont, gives the
returns from eighty-si1 towns out Of
ninety or a hundred. So far as re-
ceived they show Republican ma
iority Of fl2,767.
The Times says that yesterday there
was a very heavy vote polled Throughout
the State, the result being large gains
for the Republicans over the last State
election. The latest dispatch shows a
slight advance in the Republican ma
jority of 1868, and is fully up to the most
hopeful auticipations. Concerning the
State otherwise, the vote is heavier than
in 1870, but apparently not 30 heavy as
in 1868. The gains and losses varied
in different sections of the State. In
several of the large towns the opposi.
ton State ticket received considerable
strength from the Greeley Democrats.
In the rural districts the Republican
gains were very heavy. At the present
writing the reports received from varl.
GUS parts of the State differ. The in
terest of the campaign will now centre
in the Maine election.
The Tribune comedies q Republican
victory in Vermont and thinks that the
full returns will probably show an in
creased vote for both parties, but larger
for the Liberals and Democrats than
for the Republican party. Considering
the latter's hopelesness of carrying the
State, it thinks the opposition has done
very we'll.
O'COnOr's Letter.
The Tribune does not consider
O'Conor's letter an effective political
document. He believes in reform but
opposes the reform party.
The World thinks the only pertinent
part of the letter is his peremptory re-
fusal to become the Louisville csndi-
date.
The Times regards O'Conors compari.
son OF the merits Of Grant and Greeley
as frank, but narrow. 1t views the
letter as the utterance OF pure minded
and devoted citizen.
The Herald editorially says that
O'Conor evidently does not hone for
entire success at this time; says OConor
draws the comparison between the two
evils Grant and Greeley, evidently to
the advantage Of the former; and that
O'Conor's policy of government, if put
into operation, would stop all progress
and public improvement.
Greeley Rcjoicing In Vermont.
The following was received at the
Liberal Headquarters to-day.
BENNINGTON, VI, August 4.
Cannon are being fred here to-day
and great enthusiasm prevails over the
great gains for the Greeley cause in
old Vermont. The indications show a
Grant majority for Governor not ex-
ceeding twelve or fifteen thousand.
