EVENT and COMMENT.

The Steamer Mosel, in the Harbor
Of Brennan when ready to sail for
New York, last Saturday came near
being destroyed with all on board,
by the explosion of can of Dynamite
which a passenger had smIggled on
board tug, which was approaching
the MOsel. A large number of the
friends of passengers were on board
the Tug and about fifty of them were
killed.
Another riot occurred near Vicks-
burg last Saturday. Not much blood
was spilled.

An event of decidedly uncommon i'm
pOrtance will be the marriage of tile daugh-
or of William Butler Duncan (house of
Duncan, Sherman & co., to the Earl of
Rosebery mot Roseberry) who is shortly
expected here to make her his bride. I
heard gentleman say the other day, when
speaking of this matter: HE will get the
prettiest and the best girl in New York"
Miss Duncan is young lady of surprising
beauty, and of the utmost amiabiiity Of
character, great favorite in society, and
of such gentle and winning manner that all
who meet her are, must say, enrap.ured.
She is the eldest of MIR. Duncan's children.
and has just reached the full bloom of early
womanhood. The wedding is expected to
be one of the most brilliant that has ever
taken place in New York. The prospective
husband is gentleman of great wealth
and excellent character. The brides father

The Earl is, believe, Scotchman by birth
Mr. Duncan is an American by birth. but of
Scotch parentage. He would probably be
mayor OF New York to-day if he had not
positively refused last fall to be a candidate.
