[HERALD SPECIAL CABLE FROM LoNDoN.]
The following special despatch to the
HERALD has been received from our CORE
spondent in the British metropolis:
LONDON, April II, 1874
Your correspondent in Liverpool forwards
the following special RESUME of important
facts concerning the loss of the steamship
Europe
INTERVIEW WITH MR. MAcALL1sTER.
LIVERPOOL, April II, 1874.
have had an interview with Mr. Macal-
lister, manager OF Liverpool Of the National
Line Steamship Company. He expresses
opinion strongly on the ingratitude Of the
captain of the Europe, who, he believes, was
at first frightened and afterwards jealous of
the intrepid officer who endeavored to save
the ship, and now pirates of his wounded
honor.
He says the company sustains Mr.. Bucks
course and that they will sue the French COM
pAny and Captain Lemarie for remuneration.
MR.. BUCKS STATEMENT.
Mr.. Buck states, substantially as follows,
the reasons which induced the final abandon
ment of the Europe
''On sighting the Egypt and communicate
ing with Captain Grogan we consulted him as
to the difficulties and possibilities Of the case.
There was every indication of the advent of
southwest gale. The water was rising in the
ship and she was straining at her bulkhead
from the weight of the water, which rose
eighteen feet in the engine room and stoke
hole.
''Captain Grogan consented to tow the
Europe, and it was hoped she would be
brought into port in that way, but the haw-
sers broke. The barometer was falling and
the Europe, on account Of the weight of the
water in her, was becoming unmanageable.
With things in this position Captain Grogan
signalled for all hands to come on the Egypt"
Mr.. Buck goes ON to say that he ''obey ed
this order, though reluctantly, as in the
face of it he could not personally take the
responsibility of risking the lives of the
volunteer crew, with such craft in rising
storm" He is ''sure he could have saved the
Europe if she had been properly equipped
vessel but the French pumps were
wretchedly inefficient. 1t was only after con-
siderable search proper implements were
found and the deck pump was discovered
slowed away in the fore peak. With this the
water was greatly reduced in the cargo COM
partment."
PLUCK AND PRAISE.
All here speak in the highest terms of the
plucky conduct of Mr.. Buck and the volun-
teer crew.

THE RUBY HILL. RORRERv

The article appearing in Fridays is
sue, under the heading, An migrate
full Wretch" was just, and expressed
the honest indignation any one would
feel at the preparation of such an act,
This honest Indignation, however,
should not lead us into making wrong
statements and giving the Devil more
than his just due. The facts concern
ing the robbery at Ruby Hill, men
toned yesterday, are as follows: On
the night of the robbery, after the
game had been closed, the money was
placed in the hands Of Mr.. Bailey, and
the youngsters returned to this place;
but the party who was dealing for
them remained behind, and he
was the first one to- inform
them on the following morning while
they were still in bed that they had
been robbed.
The writer of this was present al the
time and was convinced of the truth of
the statement. Subsequent events sat
i>fied me that the said dealer had
funds when he left, when it was no.
torieus that he had not earned any
since he left Ruby Hill and had not
made any winning. The very fact that

tang the money, is still ont and I'M

were robbed in fact; for otherwise they
would have cashed it. | am induced
10 make this statement. not for the pur-
pose of shielding guilt, but to do JUS
tice To an unfortunate young man who

ton of the article yesterday morning,

is only calculated to infiict still greater
pain and add to the SORROWS of Il kind
hearted and too indulgent mother.

THE WHISKY CRUSADE.
BY a HARD MAN,

BY n HARD MAN.
How many pious ladies
Have joined the new crusader
Some say there are ten thousand,
By calculations made;
Perhaps there may be 20 NJ,
Or sevcra! thousand more;
The number may be smaller
Estimating is a bore.
There are, really. several of them
by the Observation-Disclosures rousers;
But they left the boys at home
With rents and holes in trousers,
You may pray in fifty crusades,
You may puff them all you please,
But the running commentaries
Are the bursting little knees.
Perhaps it's good and pious
To stop the sale of whisky;
But how about the little ones
Alone at home, and frisky?
Will there be no windows broken;
No dirty !oot-marks on the bed;
No little fights and squabbles;
No punching little heads?
Little girls will get in mischief;
Little boys will learn to swear,
Like the bar-kecpcrs and landlords
Who endure dear mammals prayers;
Aprons torn and dresses tattered;
And the children won't mind pa,
Poor man! he sabc Jcllyby,"
Ana Borrioboola-Gha."
Oh the trouble and destruction
To the carpets, walls and bedding;
All is left undonc at home
Still the mighty work is spreading.
Who will darn oar stool ings now;
Who will mend oar brooches:
Who will comb the childrens' hair,
And take the little stitches:
Who will hush the baby's clamor;
Who will bring poor rapa aid;
Who'll convince our doting
She's mistaken this crusade?
That it is not nice or pretty
To so wildly CAD about;
And the little ones at homo
Knows the time when mothers out?

tern flour the rate of freight on which,
from the northwest, is lower in
proportion than wheat. The same
authority states that it is the opinion OF
dealers and mil.ers that in consequence
of the heavy crop in anticipation, com.
bined with the continued siringency OF
the money market and consequent de-
preston Of trade, that prices will open
lower this season than last, and that the
first market will be the highest, as is
usually the case. If our memory is not
at fault, last season the market opened
at Augusta at 1.G5@l.S5 as to quality.
The last large lot of wheat from the old
crop sold in that market not long since
at LIS per bushel.
We hold to the opinion expressed
last week, that our farmers will do well
TO sell on the opening market-especi-
ally If the yield should he as heavy as
is now anticipated. The reports from
the heavier wheat growing sections
continue highly favorable.
