Resignation of the Hungarian Minister.
LONDON, Oct. IA dispatch from Pesth
VIENNA, Oct. 1.-The cause of the resigna-
lion OF the Hungarian ministry was an IRE
conciiable divergence OF opinion between the
Hungarian members of the council and the
military advisers of the crown. The latter
are anxious for the immediate construction
of- Q lineof railway from Sissell to Novia.
rF hungarian ministers contended that be-
fols my railroad can be constitutionally con-
strusted on Hungarian SOIL the consent of
the Hungarian Diet must first be obtained.
The Emperor insisted that his military ne
cessities would not allow this obstacle to
stand In the way, and that the road must be
built. The resignation of the ministers then
followed.
Austrian Ministry will be dissolved and a
new one formed under Prince Auersberg.

SLipwrecked.

Last Friday evening, the Steamship Me-
tropolis, from Philadelphia for Port Brazil,
went ashore on Currituck BEACH, three miles
south OF the lighthouse, during the preva-
lence OF fnrions southeast gale. Great con-
fusion prevailed on board. Owing to the
fury OF the gale and the roaring OF the surf,
the orders OF the officers could not be heard.
About fifty of the passengers and crew
were washed ashore, and about two hundred
are believed to be lost. The Metropolis was
flied out at Philadelphia by the promoters
and contractors OF the new system OF rail-
roads in Brazil, and her passengers were
mostly engineers, mechanics, laborers, and
other employees who were proceeding to the
scene OF Their work. The news OF this sad
disaster, coming so soon after that OF the
Huron, so near the scene OF that calamity,
and appearing to be a PARALLEL case, even
as to the terrible loss Of life, has occasioned
shock OF surprise and grief throughout the
country, and especially at Philadelphia, the
home Of so many Of the passengers. The
vessel went to sea on Tuesday, the Goth ult.,
and at ?. NJ. Of the day following sprung
heavy leak, which no effort of the crew
could overcome; the pumps failed, and such
heavy seas were thrown on board and below
that the ship became unmanageable An
effort was made to reach the beach, but
the fires were out and the engine stopped.
At 6.45 A. NJ. on the 3lst the ship was wreck
ed, and at u. 80 p. N. the life-saving service
made its appearance, but came poorly pro-
vided, and the only assistance it could reii-
der waste get the survivors from the wreck
out OF the surf as they came ashore. 1t is
| said that if the service had come to the aid
of the wreck during the forenoon nearly ev-
cry one could have been saved 1t is alleged
by some. though denied by others, that
| the Metropolis was an unseaworthy vessel
and too heavily loaded. She was a two mast
ed steamer, once used as passenger vessel
on Long Island sound and in the New York
bay, and was purchased by the company en-
gagged in the construction of the Brazilian
railroad rs the second of their line. She
was also in'the coast and Bermuda trade.
She had on board of Ter about 700 tons rails
and stores, besides about two hundred passen-
gers. Making all allowances for defects Of
seamanship and unseaworthiness, it is de-
| plorable that the life-saving service in that
| locality should have again proved so de-
! fecLire and unreliable, though it must be adj
mitted that the small and insufficient: force,
with its limited facilities, accomplished all
that was possible for them to do. The terri
BILE calamity affords another. .aGmohiti0n OF
the importance of using every precaution
which science and experience suggest in the
| navigation OF vessels, especially where they
| have to approach dangerous coasts, and in
trusting human life upon the seas only in
good vessels, with skillful hands, captains
and competent crews. 1t also reads another
lesson for Congress to pursue liberal policy
in making the life saving service strong and
/ elective
