LONDON, April 2o.-The engineer and mate Of
the steamer Spray, who first boarded the Amer
iuus, report that they found all the steamers
boats gone except the gig. There were SIX feet
Of water In the stoke-hole. Two Of the dead lights
were burst In and admitting water. The pumps
we're found choked, which circumstances probably
caused the panic The mate thought It was pos
sible to save the steamer. As the weather was
moderating. It Was then blowing . half . gale
The Spray sent salvage crew on board Large
warps were attached 70 the Amerique's cable
chain, and the Spray started with the steamer IN
tow on the morning Of the 18th inst, needing for
Brest. The work Of towing was easy all Wsdnes-
day. It was discovered NEXT day that the propei-
tsr OF the Ameriquo was gone. ~
On the same day her chain slipped and was lost.
The Spray then sighted the steamer Barry and
arranged for her to assist In bringing the steamer
into port They continued to hssd for Brest until
four o'clock IN the afternoon. when the wind

PARLIAMENT AT PLAY.

PARLIAMENT AT tLAI.
Things political are dull Just now. for Par
Lament has risen for the Easter holidays, and
viii not resume work until, the 18th of next
month. Mr.. Anderson's question regarding
the Alabama, to which previously alluded,
was to have been put on the last day Of the
session, but has been postponed sine die. Mr..
Whalley did not get much from the committee
appointed to consider the conduct of the Lord
Chief Justice In regard to Mr.. whalley's con-
tempt of court in the Tichborne case. The
committee, in effect, approved Of Sir Alexan-
der Cockburn's proceedings, and there the
matter ends.
So far as excitement goes, It Is evident that
the session of 1874 Will be a blank; for the
Conservatives, floating on the full swing of the
tide, Will rest calmly on their oars and pursue
do-nothing policy, while the Liberals are SO
discouraged and disorganized by their defeat
that they know not whom to regard as their
captain. Mr.. Gladstone has hitherto remained
the spokesman Of the party, seconding Mr..
Disracli's proposal Of thanks to the Ashantee
army, &C., but he will probably not be found
in his place for some time after the reassem-
bling Of Parliament, and In the meantime the
Liberals are as sheep without 9 shepherd.
In the discussion on the army estimates one
Of the guerilla leaders, Sir Wilfred Lawson,
temperance and peace-at-any- price man, moved
the reduction Of the number of men to be en-
ployed, but was defeated by large majority.
It Is not very likely that England VIII be in
yolved In warfare even under the rule Of the
tory government, which Is to resuscitate her
lost prestige, but still her small standing army
must not be reduced to ridiculous minimum.
AsHANrEz HoSoHs AND HrMARps.
s There Is good deal Of gossip at the military
clubs about the speedy manner in which the
honnrs and rewards have been dealt out to the
Ashantee campaigners. Scarcely week had
elapsed since their landing when they were re-
ceiyed By the Queen, thanked by PARLIAMENT,

From the increasing number Of the meetings
among the ladies, 1t 10 evident that the temper
anoS cause has not declined In interest in this city
To the contrary, there appears every evidence Of
an increased activity among the many temperance
people. The ladies' meetings are to be held daily
ct O'Clock in the following churches: Metropoli-

Presbyterian, and HAmllne church. The general
meeting which has been hsld at $50 p. N. daily,

TWO sHkwLs DRAPED
from one hip TO the other behind, and easy
fitting basque, long in front, short and slashed
behind with one seam in the back. For the
street the skirt touches the ground, with two
graduated founces, shirred or inside pleatings
which with their headings cover third of its
length. The Greek overskirt, open and straight
on the side, caught up to the other with square
back drapery, is In favor, as well as the wide
pointed apron. A third overskirt Is two long
widths, not sewed, but faced and closed with
silk bows or large buttons two-thirds their
length In the middle Of the back, ccught up
to form slight puff, and open below to show
the nounces. The basque is long and comes to
9 point In front, but falls open below the
waist, and Is worn with or without vest, ac-
cording to fancy. Women with stout figures
wear the English basque with side forms, but
the French shape Of two pieces only in the
back Is considered most becoming in general.
The loose coat sleeve with shoulder and
elbow puffs, the long-puffed sleeve with the
fullness held by plain bands, with plcatings at
the wrist, and the cost-sleeye with three grad
uated cuffs reaching nearly to the elbow are
the latest forms. Box-plested tufts Of the
material lined with silk are worn very faring
and lower than last year, with round or pointed
throats to suit. The polonaise may be the
glove-like Marguerite Of last year, but the new
style Is easy and broad-shouldered, closed down
the entire front with back drspery straight and
square.
The half polonaises are very graceful, the
long, shawl-shaped sides crossing In back and
front In Q way, equally becoming TO large and
slight figures. As for trimming, there are
knotted and ball fringes Of wool, agnafes of
passementsrie, colored guipure Of silk or wool
more finely and firmly woven than the old yak
lace. Large buttons with button-holes bound
in silk play conspicuous part in dress trim
ming. The ovefskirt Is closed with them be-
hind, and one side Of the Greek apron has q
row; they outline vest on the basque, and
adorn pockets and tripls cuff, ~ in old court
dresses. As trimmings must shade with the
dress, nne varieties Of buttons are provided,
tortoise shell, plain, and carved, white, irid
escent, smoked, green, golden, and blue pearl,
and plain, bright steel with almost the play Of
gray pearls, plain dark blue and engraved
steel, frosted silver. and beaded Jet. These
slightly expensive additions are from IS TO eis
the dozen.

delicate house-scsr6 TO wear with crepe lisse
rufis. They are nearly three yards long, Of
pink or blue gross-grain ribbons. about two
inches wide, with insertion Of nne valenciennss
