gers We're ali savod, but II IL feared the
beat viii be a total loss. II Ia sald the
cause of the disaster was owing to the
ino0mpetency Of the pilot, who was
mile ont OF his cour'c. The following
account OF the scene on board IL given
About an hour after the steamer struck,
the wind, which had been blowing from
the southeast suddenly changed 10
northwest, and beat upon the stranded
boat with terrific force. Tho l.eamer,
which laid qnite steady, began 10 thump
heavily upon the rocks. Every SEA would
raise her In the air, and she would come
down with awful force upon the rocks,
and wrlthe and grind until It seemed che
must 90 10 pieces. One of the passengers
describes The motion OF the boat
as like that Of toy serpent
when set on lire. The alarm
which had partially subsidized, broke ont
airesh. Lie preseryers were put on and
there was q general expectation that the
boat would Immediately break up. Still
the officers and passengers preserved adj
mlrable comnoaure. No one knew where
che was, II was so dark and ioggy that
absolutely nothing could be seen. The
wind howled so that conversation was
almost inaudible, while above all was
the incessant dumps and sound OF the
heavy grinding which all knew was eat
ing out the bottom OF the boat. The gila-
Ing on the state-roOms began 10 fall
down, aud in some rooms berths even
fell 10 the floor. 80 much was the
boat spread that the rods which held the
chandeliers in the main saloons had
snapped like pipe Stema, and the pieces
OF the side Of the boat had broken away.
The water was rising IN the forecastle,
and the dcol.hands set to work to light.
Ell the boat. Overheard went cotton,
flour, whisky and sugar, until at least
half the cargo was in the sea. The 9th
er half was Kept in to balance the boat
Thus the awful night wore away--a night
which the passengers Will not soon for
get.
The Massachusetts cost $4,000, and
was heavily insured.

The fresh assault of some Of the speak

Of the cry Of Republican politicians that

sickness but beef tea and chicken broth,
with the exception OF taste Of some elc.

of his disease. Since he has been sick
hundreds Of letters have been received
filled with kind expressions and hopes

agreed upon the recommendation OF internal
reforms and guarantees to the Christian sub
jects, which the Porte rejected.as an unwar-
rantable interference.
From the failure of the Conference the
war became certain. Russia had notified the
other powers that she would undertake to
procure the reforms desired, independently,
if they declined to join her in enforcing
them and she is now engaged in hat I'M
dertaking. In his circular to the Russian
ministers at the courts of other powers,
Prince GortSchakoif saws MY exalted
master has resolved to undertake that which
he had invited the Great Powers to do IN
common with him. His Majesty has order
ed his armies to cross the frontier OF Turkey.
In fulfilling the duty which is imposed upon
| him bv the interests of Russia, whose peace
able development is impeded by constant
troubles in the East. His Majesty is con-
yinced that lie at the same time responds tc
the views OF Europe"

The Fashion Of England.

The statement telegraphed from Liverpool
that the British Government Will interfere
in the war between Russia and Turkey, may
possibly be premature but is likely to be
soon verified. Doubtless the sympathy oil
the British nation, as such, is with Turkey,
and against Russia, though the eminence oil
some Englishmen who have taken the other
side of the question has misled many INTO
the belief that England would not again at
this time be Turkeys ally in war with
Russia. We do not forget that it was Lord
Derby, who declared that the feeling aroused
by the Bulgarian atrocities would make 1t
" impracticablc" to defend Turkey ii Russia
should attack her or that Gladstone, fors-
ter and CARLYLE made England ring, last
Fall. with denunciations of the g unspeak-
able Turk" : olithat' John Bright has declar-
cd that the importance of preserving the
Sultan's control over the Bosphorus had been
enormously exaggerated" and that Eng
laDu iDIGTCsL Ill liS iuhhhSA was
inapprcciable. But these eminent gentle
men do not represent the English masses IN
this matter. The English people have not
forgotten their last war with Russia for the
integrity of Turkey. They are no more
willing now than then to see Russia occupy
Constantinople and control tie gateway to
the Black Sea and We believe that
England. though by no means "spoillng Tor
fight" will promptly garrison Constantine
pie as soon as she becomes satisfied that 1t Is
war for conquest on the part of Russia and
that Russia is likely to be the victor. In a
speech delivered in the House Of Commons,
on the 18th inst, the veteran liberal, Mr..
Roebuck, undoubtedly struck the true key
note of English sentiment on the Eastern
question. lie said: Whatever may
happen England will not see Turkey pass
into the hands of Russia. | trust Austria
will not see her do so, nor France, nor Italy.
You cannot meet a Russian without think
ing that he feels that some day or other
Russia is to be at Constantinople.
But let him not deceive himself. Let him
not lay that 1atte,ing JUNCTION to his soul.
The Russians will never be permitted to
take possession of Constantinoplc, while
England has ship at her command or
soldier whom she can send out.
This bold declaration was received with
loud and continued cheers; and it spoke the
deep purpose of the English nation. Eng
land and Austria, saying to Russia, stand
back, would, under ordinary circumstances,
be powerful peace-makers. But the war
has begun, Russia has doubtless counted its
cost. and fOrseen this among other contn-
gencics. The Car will not stand back at
the command of any one or two powers :;
and if he will not. what can prevent a
general European war?
