The probable European war has al
ready had its effect here, causing an ad-
vance in almost everything, and espe'
cially so in breadstufs; but in banking
circles the only effect, or nearly SO, has
been a sudden advance in gold, and will
probably notstop until it reaches two
figures, or more. Exchange is in limited
supply and a moderate demsUd, rates
remaining unchanged, as follows: New
York and Eastern demand, buying at

Frigh,fu, Accident.

CHESTER, Pa, May 22-This morn
ing, the Saratoga, large iron steamer
which was to be launched at Roach's
shipyard, started from its blocking soon
er than was expected, killing and wound
ing many. Six dead bodies have been
recovered.
About forty men were under the Sar
atoga when she went off. An order was
given for them to come out, but it was
not heard The names of the killed, as
far as known, are Edward Fowler, John
Nelson, Chas. Wright and Edward
Burke. The wounded are Geo. Woof,
mortally, and Barney Cannon and Wal
ter Parkinson, seriously; it is thought
that some of the workmen were killed
and dragged into the water by the ship.
The bodies of the dead are horribly
mangled, one being literally cut in
halves and others with their legs and
arms torn off The ship yard is thron-
ged, with friends and relatives of the
victims, and presents very distressing
scene.
The total number OF dead in conse.
quence of the accident at the shipyard
is seven In addition to those reported
j.. j. Crew was instantly killed, and
Geo o Wood and Barney Cannon died
at IL o'clock this morning. Three per-
sons were wounded. all of whom will re-
cover. All of the killed and wounded
were workmen employed at the yards
and were engaged in knocking the blocks
from under the ships keel. The scene
during che time the ship was going of
was heart,rending, the men being seen
struggling to escape while the huge
blocks rolled by the ship crushed them
to jelly. No assistance could possibly
be rendered by those who were standing
by. Instead of. cheers as usually gree'
launch, vail of anguish went up
and shrieks of pain rent the air As
soon as possible the dead and wounded
we're carried to the yard office and physi
clans summoned. About l 900 men are
employed at the yard, and friends o
nearly all of them rushed to inquire fol
them. Flags are at half mast through
out the town aud work at the yard ha:
been stopped.

The french Coup D,E,at.

A Paris correspondent thus construes
the motives of MacMahon in the dis
missal OF his cabinet:
"The singular semi-official notice pub
lished few hours after the dismissal of
The ministry, to the effect that the Mar
sbal means peace and is determined to
suppress ultramontane demonstrations,
sets the people to asking what MacMa.
hon really means. Among those who
hoped that be had intended coup d etat
there is now a suspicion that he intend
ed only coup de tcte; but of this we
can only Judge by the logic OF facts
In the first place the miaistry is unnnis'
takably one OF reaction. Whatever may
he the Presidents personal views, doubt
less the men at the head of the Cabinet
will drive him to acts which will end in
revolution, AMI, probably, in civil war.
It is necessary to recollect that we have
here a constitutional ruler dismissing
his G Clbinet, not because a majority OPP
posed ii in the Chamber, but because of
the majority sympathizing with and sup:
porting it. In other words the Marshal
has taken issue with the nation under
the most absurd pretence that he alone
understands and represents its interests
The constitution of q Ministry thorough
ly reactionary renders inevitable, there
fore, the following chain of evidence
The prorogation of the Chambers for a
month is to give the new Ministry time
to organize, but on the Legislatures
reassembling the Ministry will meet an
exasperated Chamber and be beaten by
overwhelming majorities on the first
measures presented Then will follow
dissolution, and general election in
three months, which will be too short q
time for the ministerial agents to con.
troll the returns. The next Chamber
will consequently be more Republican
than the present one and stronger in tbs
support of their indignant constituen
Ecies. The faction in power, defeated
and Inundated in every contest with tht
majority will certainly push the Marsha
/ to coup d etdt Everything will ther
depend upon the old soldiers sense 0
honor and patriotism. ! do not believe
he wants to play the part of Monck
he certainly has not the stuff in him t
play the part Of Cromwell. as E
