The ViFgiuius.

Lieutenant Commander Hasvell, executive
officer of the Ossipee, arrived at the New
York navy yard at 10. 80 Tuesday, and was
closeted with Admiral Rowan and Lieutenant
West. On leaving there he went to the U. 3.
district attorneys office. After consultation
with the U. 8. district attorney, Lieutenant
Commander Haswsll said he was at liberty to
talk freely. He left Tortngas ON the 10th
inst; had fair weather until the following
day, when bad weather set in and continued.
The Vrginius signalled she was leaking, and
Capt. Waters determined to shape his course
for Charleston, but getting into smooth water
the Virginius behaved better. On the morn
ing of Christmas day, however, severe wealth
er having continued, the Yirginius was again
leaking as badly as ever and the vessels put
into Frying Pan Shoals, about ten miles south
of Cape Fear light, where smoother water
could be obtained. Here the vessels came to
anchor, Capt. Watson hoping the Virginius
would ride out the gale. Before daylight the
next morning (Friday) Commander Woodrow
signallsd that the Virginius was leaking rap
idly, with the fires out and the pumps stopped,
and the crew wished to be taken of. Boasts
were lowered from the Ossipee at daylight,
and by o'clock A. M. all on board of thu
Virginius were transferred to the former ves-
sci. As heavy sea was running, the work
Of removing the crew was one of much dan
ger and difficulty, and therefore NO lives were
risked in endeayoring to save their personal
effects or any other property on the Virginius.
The hawser of the Virginius was cut and .
buoy attached to mark her position in case
she sank out of sight. The Ossipee remained
at anchor during the day, and at quarter-past
four O'Clock P. M. the Virginius, which had
been gradually settling, went to the bottom.
She sank in eight fathoms of water, and her
topmssts remained above the surface. The
Ossipee then resumed her voyage to New
York, where she arrived in the manner a.
ready described. Her supply of coal was am
pie, % tons still remaining on board. All on
board of the Ossipes are we'll. .l .-.

The New Insane Hospital.

The commissioners on the new Insane Hos
pital held their final meeting in this city on
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Mr..
f. ii. Fassett Of Portland, submitted an ex-
cellent preliminary plan for a new building,
known as the pavilion plan," prepared in
accordance with the vote of the commissioners
at their last meeting. 1t is believed that this
plan combines all the advantages of the So
called cottage system" and the ordinary
aggregate plan. and removes the objections
to both, and is therefore an improvement
over anything hitherto adopted in the United
States, and the best that can be devised. A
majority of the commission will therefore
recommend the adoption of this plan by the
Legislature, and the appropriation of suffi-
cient sum to erect and cover the centre build
ing and two "pavilions" during the present
year, thus providing on the present hospital
grounds additional accommodations for one
hundred patients. Other "pavilions" can be
added from time to time, as they may be re-
quired, until the original design is completed,
when the structure will accommodate about
three hundred patients. But one member of
the commission, while concurring with the
views of the majority in relation to the SUI
periority of the plan submitted over other
aggregate" plans, will nevertheless, from
considerations of economy in the original
construction, recommend that wooden cottages
be erected in the immediate vicinity of the
old building, and occupied in connection with
it, Their report will be printed and sub
mitted to the Legislature during the second
week OF its session.
