The COLLISION between one of the Fulton
ferry boats and an excursion steamer last
evening certainly the result OF gross care
lessness. The river was not crowded at the
lime, there was plenty of light and the weather
was fine. A rigid investigation should be made
and the guilty officer or officers promptly re-
moved. F
IT HAS BEEN DECIDED by that exceedingly
efficient branch Of the public service, the Office
OF Steamboat Inspection, that steam yachts are
subject to all the regulations of law governing
steam vessels. The manner in which the steam
boat laws, particularly those in regard to the
overcrowding of excursion boats, are enforced is
truly commendablc.
MIR. JAY COOKE, it will be seen from an inter-
view with of our correspondents, has still
unbounded faith in the success of the Northern
Pacific Railroad. The sale of million acres of
the compapy's lands during the past year is an
evidence of the rapidity with which, even in
these dull times, our extreme Western territory
Is being colonized.
ALL THE SUMNER RESORTS within fifty miles

SENIOR MANrILLA, the Spanish Minister at
Washington, denies the report that his visit to
Europe is preliminary step to his final de-
parture from this country and his transfer to
the Paris mission. The latter position, under
the prccedents Of the Spanish Court. is, it
seems, specially reserved for ex-presidents of
the Council of Ministers and captains general,
and there are several gentlemen of that rank
living Scfor Mantilla thinks his promotion is
out of the question.
Mr.. TAIMAGE in his sermon yesterday took
hopeful view of Christianity. There are more
Bibles printed now than ever before. The daily
gcther in the dissemination Of Gospel truth.
Infdclity makes great stir in the world, but
81 would be impossible to elect an infdcl like
Thomas Jefferson President Of the United
States. Among the other noteworthy sermons
were those by the Rev. Mr.. Macarthur upon
Labor and Religion" and by DIR. Stanford on
HMercy and Judgment" Professor Martin
traced the influence of original character
npon lives, and DIR. Deems illustrated the
interest taken by God in mankind.

Tnr WEATHER. centre of lowest barom-
ctcr has entirely passed off the coast over Nova
Scotia but its influence is felt over the north
ern sections Of the Middle Atlantic States, the
lover lake regions and New England. The
pressure continues high in the South Atlantic
aud Eastern Gulf districts, but is highest in the
Northern Missouri Valley. Rain has fallen in
ali the districts east of the Mississippi River.
II has also fallen in the Western Gulf districts
and Manitoba. There has been general rise
in temperatures throughout all the dis
trcts, except on the Northern New
England coast. The winds have been
from fresh to light OH the Northern Atlantic
coast and in the lake regions. They have been
light elsewhere. The probabilities are very
good for clear weather tonight that those
who had no opportunity of witnessing the solar
eclipse will have good chance to see that of
a..
vicinity today will be warm and fair, possibly
with occasional showers, but will probably clear
toward night. Tomorrow it will be warm and
clear.
