Owing to the late adjOurnments Occa-
stoned by the death of members of the bar,
and the consequent pOstp0nement of cases,
this court will be opened from from half.past
nine to eleven each day for the purpose of
taking up cases by consent.
Eighth District Court.
Very soon after the removal Of the fiscal
agency by the city from the New Orleans
National Banking Association to the Louis
lana Savings Bank, the former institution
filed a suit against the city in the Sixth
District Court, claiming not only balance
due, but a large sum as damages for alleged
violation of contract
On Monday, tenth instant, the city filed
ia the Eighth District Court petition for
mandamus to compel the New Orleans
National Banking Association to pay over
an alleged balance of about S326,OOO due
the city. The rule niSi was issued and con-
tinued for trial till yesterday, when
counsel for the bank argued for a further
continuance of some days, on the ground
that the notice being so short, he had been
unable to prepare himself as fully as the
very important nature of the case de-
,manded. City Attorney Lacey and Judge
Dibble, signifying their intention to
leave the city on Monday, favored an i'm
mediate trial, while the bank attorney de-
eIared it physically impossible to take it up,
consequent upon pressing business engage
ments in the Uuited States courts. After
considerable argument the matter was
fixed for to-day at 3 P. NJ.
The bank AYERS that she owes the city
no money, but rather that the boot is on the
other leg, inasmuch as she has paid out a
sum of money for the city's account in ex-
cess of receipts. To meet this, the city says
that the bank disbursed some S3j0,00O out
of a special fund on deposit, which she had
10 business to touch, except for the pur-
poses to which it was appropriated, and
ssvs the bank must make this amount good,
and then, if it have a counter claim, to
bring suit against the city. Whichever
way the matter may be decided, it will,
doubtless, be appealed to the Supreme
Court, in which event, if at all, the public
eEeheuuer must yawn for the S325,OO0 until
next November, at least.

early next morning and put out for Long

The Madison Journal SAYS

We have encouraging reports of the cot
ton crop from all parts of the parish. The
heavy rains of the past three weeks was a
great drawback to the planters, they not
being able to cultivate; but we are glad to
see the cOlored people taking advantage Of
the present fine weather. The locusts have
done but little damage to young cotton.
We are informed by several planters that
the cotton and corn crops viii far exceed
that of last year. We hope their lab Dor will
be crowned by success.

Dispatches just received in this city
contain information OF terrible earth
quake in Syria, on the Sd Instant. by
which the ancient city Of Antioch has
been almost entirely destroyed The
calamity has been attended with fearful
loss of human life. Upward Of 1900
Of the unfortunate inhabitants perish
ed, being instantly killed by the fall
ing buildings. Thousands are injured
and rendered homeless. The whole
city is in ruins, scarcely building
being left standing. The internal con-
vuloions which continue d at intervals
during the day Of the Sd instant, warn
ed the people of the approaching
da niger, and many had time to fee be-
fore the climax arrived. The earth
quake also extended over large tract
Of the surrounding country.
The city of Antioch is situated Oh
the left bank Of the river Orontes,
twenty miles from the Mediterranean,
and fifty-seven miles west of Aleppo.
1t confirms from 5000 to 10000 in

Another Sad Calamity.

CAIRO, H., April 11.-Steamer
Oceanus, from Red River to st. Louis,
when near Brooks Point, 80 miles
above here, at 4 o'clock this morning,
exploded her boiler blowing her upper
works almost entirely away, Immediately
after which the wreck took fire, burn
ing to the waters edge. Pilot Thomp-
son, of the steamer John Lumsden,
lying few miles below, on seeing the
light from the burning wreck, manned
the yawl, and proceeded up the river
to ascertain the cause. He found a
small party of survivors on Head Island,
but passed on to relieve those on the
wreck. Ten or twelve were clingng
to the wheel but it dropped before he
reached there, and all but four were
lost. He found deck passenger, name
unknown, near the shore, badly scaded,
who died before his arrival at Cairo.
Steamer Belle St. Lonis, bound up,
took nearly all the survivors.
There were five lady passengers, all
supposed TO De lOSt. Inc bodies OF
four ladies were seen floating past
Watson's Landing to day, but were not
recovered
The officers of the Shreve state that
there were about forty cabin and thirty
five deck passengers, making total Of
about one hundred souls, about eighty
of whom are supposed to be lost. The
greater portion Of the survivors being
on the Belle St. Louis, no names of the
passengers nor any reliable estimate Of
the loss can be obtained, except from
her books
The effects of the explosion was ter
rife beyond conception, the whole upper
works being lifted bodily. and falling
on the boat and in the water completely
shaft cred.

just arrived, reports the First Engineer
and Hate saved also thirty two other
persons on the Belle Of St Louis. The
Second Engineer was saved bat died
of his injuries.
