The "Cunard" steamship company,
some time ago, adopted different routes for
outward and inward bound steamers Of their
line, in order that the danger of collision
might be diminished The New York
chamber of commerce, since the willie du
Hayre" disaster, has voted to memorialize
Congress to take measures in concert with
the governments of other maritime nations
to so order the inward aud outward courses
Of steam vessels upon the Atlantic as ia
diminish the daily growing danger of col
lision--now the chief peril Of the sea. The
increasing frequency Of ocean steamship
disasters certainly entities this matter to
the most careful consideration, and we are
glad to see that the agents of the different
steamship lines at New York propose to
hold meeting to discuss the best means Of
preventing such disasters in the future. The
directors Of the steamship line to which the
4" Vile du llavre" belonged are also re.
ported to be considering the adyisability oil
providing all their steamers with powerful
electric lights aud with life RATS instead
Of life boats.

The Syracuse Journal states that since
the novelty of prison life has passed away,
young Walworth has become extremely mel
anchoy, and he has settled down to the
monctony of trampiug from the mess-room
to tho workshop, and from thence to his
gloomy cell. A correspondent writes that
he appears to have realized the stern reality
of prison discipline, but is very quiet, and
submits promptly to the rules of the insti-
tuion. lie never speaks unkindIy to any one,
and answers all questions in n gentle tone
Of voice but, when left to himself, ap.
pears overwhelmed with sorrow and re-
morse, lie has lost all freshness Of coun-
tenance, aud seems to be breaking down
rapidly in health. Last Sabbath, while
in the chapel, he was seized with vertigo,
and had to be assisted to the hospital
Medicine was administered aud he retired
to his cell, preferring its couch of straw
to hospital treatment, Since then he has
been suffering from peurisy, and is, on the
whole, pitiable object; just on the thresh-
hold of life, he has the appearance Of an
old man. His pbysical punishment, how.
ever, seems nothing when compared to his
mental agony. When sick he never com.
plaius, nor does he ask for anything, moi
wishing to give trouble.

Mr.. d. for the first time gives full history
of his connection with John Browns Vir-

and the speaker still possessed the original
draft lie was not priyy, however, to
Browns invasion until summoned from
Rochester to Chambersburg, just before the
descent on lIarper's Ferry, when he spent
whole day and a night in stone quarry
with Brown and Shields Green, seeking to
dissuade them from their mad attempt
Green was finally captured by Browns
fervor, and so met his fate on the gallows
Twelve years before the raid, Brown laid
before Douglass the plan of general in
surrection all aloug the Allegheny ridge.

ing hundreds of black men on their masters

The subsequent plan of the raid was changed
