DEAD BRoKE-Two men were at the station
last night trying to borrow money enough to go
Boston on the boat. 1t appears that they had
season ticket on the Eastern road, but prefer
red to go by water, even il they had no money.
As no one could be found who cared to trust
them to the amount desired, one started for the
boat determined to go, money or no money.
The other tried to go but was too drunk, and
had to be locked up.

Decision of the Court of Inquiry,
HALIFAX, July 1.-THE decision of the court
OF inquiry into the loss of the steamship City
of Washington, after reviewing the evidences
concludes as follows: On the I'd and Sd of July
soundings might have been obtained and Nv
that means fresh departure taken but mn
happily the presumption that they were 100 far
southward for soCndings prevailed and led the
master TO neglect this necessary precauton. To
this omission together with the discrepancy in
the deviation of the compass may be attrbut-
ed the loss of this fine ship.
am OF the opinion that it was imprudent to
ignore the dead reckoning between the 18th
and 18th of June, which showed that the shin
was considerably to the northward and this
could not have been due to a current 1t must
have been shown that the compasses had a
ldISt duouu6 Vi edSUefly deviation. Ii was also
imprndent to pass the Grand Banks of New
foundland without trying for sounding to cor
rect the reckoning, seeing that for six DAYS no
observations could be obtained and that thick
+ weather prevailed for two days. After so pass
ing the banks il was highly imprudent to con-
tinue full speed without taking cast of the
lead to show that the ship was off her soundipgs
and particularly so when it to have been known
by the master that so much more iron and
steel had been placed on board the ship since
the compass connections had been obtained.
1t would appear that good lookout was
kept during the voyage and that no blame can
De attributed to any of the junior officers of
the ship, and that when she took ground on
the 9th of July at Is p. M, boats were low
cred with alacrity and the passengers and crew
landed in safety.
Under these circumstances am of the opip-
ion that the masters certificate of service held
by William Robert Phillips, master, should be
suspended for the space of one year from the
date OF the loss of the steamship City of Wash
accordingly.

The Atlantic Monthly for August contains an
exhaustive and generally very complimentary
review of John X. Paine's Oratorio est
by the Haydn Society of this city. The Or
cbestra is severely condemned-a verdict in
which our people will heartily concur. Mrs
Wetherbee receives handsome and well mer-
tied approval. But the browning excellence in
the whole affair is accorded to the chorus
which covered itself with glory. We append
brief abstract:
We must conclude with few words as to
the manner in which the great composition was
first brought before the public
The pleasant little town of Portland has rea-
son to congratulate itself, first, on being the
birthplace of such a composer as Mr.. Paine;
secondly. on having been the place where the
first great work of America in the domain of
music was brought out; and thirdly, on pos
sessing what is probably the most thoroughly
disciplined choral society in the country.
More artistic chorus-singing it has never been
our lot to hear. Our New York friends after
their recent experiences, will perhaps be slow
to believe us when we say that the Portland
choir sang this new work even better than the
Handel and Haydn society sing the old and
familiar Elijah; but it is true. In their COM
mand of the pianissimo and the gradual cres-
cendo, and in the precision of their attack,
the Portland singers can easily teach the Han
del and Haydn quarters lessons. And, be-
sides all this, they know how to preserve their
equanim.y under the gravest prosecutions of
the orchestra; keeping the even tenor of their
way where less disciplined choir, melted by
the excessive blare of the trombones and the
undue scraping of the second violins, would
inevitably lose its presence of mind and break
out into an untimey fortissimo.
