These boats, capable OF carrying two hundred and

TO this city it's former commercial supremacy. The

cecding of suspension seems 10 have been AM
mated by spirit not always found even IN the
councils of churches. The guilty man con
fessed his oug-doing and the church took
its action with a sorrow that was not without
hope. Indeed, if the crime itself shook the
faith of any in human nature the manner OF Its
acknowledgment ard punishment must have
done something TO restore it.

The great debate begins tonight in Parlia-
ment on Mr. Gladstonc's resolutions, which the
press of London is discussing in advance. 1t
is expected or all hands that they will be
supported by but small minority, the great
body of the Liberals intending to remain "on
"the fence and sustain Sir John LubbOck's
motion for the previous question. Mr.. Gladstone
deserves credit for his devotion to principle
and disregard of simple expediency, but he
could hardly expect the British Parliament to
bass a vote Of sympathy with Russia at Il
moment when the English nation is so in
famed against the Gar. How strong that
feeling is may be gathered from an interesting
letter from our London correspondent printed
on another page,

The May anniversaries have declined in i'm

There is strong feeling Of curiosity among the
commercial houses of the city in regard TO the fate
of an important matter which was referred to the
Common Council few months ago. Four of the
principal commercial organizations of the city, rep
resenting the most important interest of New-YOrF
pettioned the Common Council, by "A unanimous
vote of their members, that the Belt Railroad
might be thrown open at night for the
hauling of freight to different points
along the water front, in order to facilitate and
cheaper the commercial operations of the city. 1t
was and is important that favorable action should
be taken on this request New-York has lost ground
by reason of the cost of handling freight here. Our
merchants are making good fight to maintain the
business of the city, but they find the odds too
great Business is slipping away from them, and
it is destined TO do so still more unless merchants
have the legitimate help of the city auihori-
ties. This help they certainly entitled
10. Ii needs argument to prove that. Never
theess months have been allowed to elapse without
any notice whatever being taken Of their request.
DO the city authorities nothing for tie interests
of Ncw.Yorki There would have been reason for
this delay, possibly, if the commercial b dies had
,ked for an appropriation of money or an incrcas"
Of he city debt in some FORM But no such thing is
ash II. The proposed measure will cost the city
nothing and will on the other hand, be- benefit to
it. The delay is incxplicable and discrcditablo to
the Intelligence and public spirit Of the Common
Council

A few wears ago the ingenuity of historical STU
dents was largely applied to the task OF dlsprovhg
the old myths traditions, and records Inc tale Vi
Troy divine the very existence OF homer' INC
founding of Rome by Romulus, and al least
dozen other prominent recorded occurrences
that mankind had accepted as facts, were
whitfield down into legendary nothngness by those
sharp and incredulous investigators. Inc Tell
dency of tho researches of the present day Is pre-
csely the reverse. What the explorations at
Hassarlik and MykenB are doing for no.
merle localities and heroes, fossil botany
and deep sea soundings may accomplish
for the lost island of Atlantis of which the tradition
is preserved in the "Timeus" of Plato. 1t is
described as a land beyond the pillars of Hercules,
where dwelt powerful race of people who bore
sway over Africa as far as Egypt. The island with
its inhabitants was said to have been afterward
submerged by earthquakes Unger, Dotanlst
of distinction in 1860 advanced the theory that the
extension of the tertiary fora between the Eastern
and Western Hemispheres could be best explained
on the hypothesis that the lost island OF
Atlantis furnished the pathway for the spread
of the fossil plants. The recent soundlngs
made during the Chaengers voyage, supplement-
ing similar work of other expeditions, give evidence
that there is ridge IN the ATLANTIC, coming to the
surface in the islands known as the Azores, St.
PaUls, Ascension, and Tristan dAcunha. Inc
ridge is of curved shape; its northern
extremity connects with the "telegraphic pia-
TEAM between Ireland and Newfoundland. about
midway; thence it trends somewhat west of south
till it connects with South America near the mouths
Of the Amazon; then with very irregular
shape and stretching far to the southwark
in mid-ocean, it eventually reaches tho
African coast in S. lat 100. The theory that this
tract may have been the submerged Atlantis was
advocated by w. Stephen Mitchell in recent
scientific lecture at South Kensngton, and page
is given by Nature to map of this Hypothetical
land.

While the Russian army is conveniently de-
tanned by swollen rivers from invading Bul
garia, the forces in Asia are advancing steadily
on Erzerum. Finding that important city en-
dangered by the c0nyerglng armies, MUkhtar
Pasha has Withdrawn his forces southwark
and allowed KaTs to be completely surrounded
and exposed TO the fire of the powerful siege
artillery which the Russians have placed in
position. This strategy, necessitated by the
comparative weakness Of the Turkish forces,
promises advantages to the Russian commander.
1t will enable him TO defeat in detail The
Turkish forces, and to Outnumber them at the
great battle which is TO decide the fate of the
Armenian capital. 1t will be fortunate If the
Asiatic campaign promptly conyincos Turkey
of her inability to cope with the Russian En-
pire.

A Paper Menagerie.

The exchanges have restocked their
menageries, the band has begun to play.
and the printers devil about the mon
keys cage had better keep away. A
large petrifiei rattlesnake, with o per-
feet set of rattles, has been found by a
temperance man near Red Bluff, in the
far West. An absent minded gentle
man, who recently emigrated from
Fayetteville to Williamton, N. c., has
received by express two large and super
animated cats of his own sex, which his
considerate neighbors had boxed up and
sent to his address. A panther eight
feet long has been shot near Glovers-
vile, N. Y. An epicure in Sedalia. No.,
has restricted himself to thirty quail in
thirty days. From fifteen to twenty
'coons are killed near Marble Hill, No.,
every day. German scientists have sent

mud banks of Olean county, n. Y, are
now being Tansacked for these curious

Imports of Steel and Cutlery.

A suggestive commentary on our
growing independence of European
