A FRIGHTFUL DIsAsTER.-The North China
Herald of February 26th, records terrible ac-
cdent as having taken place at Hong Kong on
the 18th, to the mail steamer Wan Loong,
which piled between that port and Canton
The vessel started with two or three hundred
passengers on board, and got clear of her moor
jngs all right, but in taking turn to avoid a
German yacht lying near she gave roll in
wards in the circle she was describing On her
upper decks were large number of Chinese,
and at the sway they all ran to the other side,
movement which at once brought the vessel
over. The dead weight at the low side kept
her from righting herself again, and her slant
ing attitude prevented those on the top from
getting to the high side. So the vessel went
right over, and at once sank. inst before she
went down wild cry arose from those on
board. Boats were Immediately despatched to
the rescue of the engulfed passengers, and a
large number were saved. bat still it is feared
that a hundred, if not mere, were drowned, in
cludiDg at least one European.

The Ruling Passion.

A correspondent OF the Richmond
Enquirer SAYS that after the second trial
OF Stokes for the murder Of Fisk and
which resulted in his conviction Of
murder in the first degree, and before
the Court of Appeals had granted Kim
a new trial, he let his apparent i'm
pending fate interfere SO little with him
that by giving orders from the Tombs
to his brokers in Wall street, he made
within two months over twenty-five
thousand dollars This clearness Of
judgment in calmly giving orders for
the buying and selling OF stocks while
under sentence of death is probably un-
exampled in the history Of those whom
the law regards as criminals.

terday ha. a letter from Washington
City, signed Nv. De II J." willis De
HAss, we presume, in relation to the
Indian war" on the Ohio in l774 lie
declares that the Battle OF Point
Pleasant" fought on the 10th OF De-
tober IVA, was the fret battle Of the
revolution, and proposes that some
steps be taken for its centennial
celebration. He thinks there should
be two celebrations in the Ohio Valley
this year, one at Point Pleasant in Oc-
tober aad another at Yellow Creek
where LoGAN's family was murdered
about the Oath Of May. He suggests
also that monument suitably inscribed
to commemorate the events Of that
early day be erected at some one OF the
localities whose history ia connected
with that OF the war OF IVA.
