The theory regarding the rotundity
Of the earth was strsnuously opposed by
many Of the great lights Of the church.
Many Of the arguments given to combat
and disprovs the theory were not only
very amusing. but several OF them eI-
trsmsly ingenious. among these latter
that Of st. Augustine may be cited o. an
example. He maintained that the
theory was directly opposed to the scrip
lures. which asserted that at the last
day 1t was promised that the Son Of God
would descend in power and glory in
sight Of all the nations and peoples OF
the earth. This would be an impossi-
bility II the earth were round. a. in that
case be could only be seen BY the pso-
pie inha~bitingons side Of II. consequent
ly the fulhlmsnt Of this scriptarL PROM
iss required that the earth should bs

.ro An OUTRAGED PEOPLE.

Governor Bradlsy's Virginia organ
INDUCED last evening in an excited
harangus ITO an Outraged People"
How well the editor understands the
Democratic method Of carrying elections
by means Of stufing ballot boxes and
other Democratic tricks is shown in the
following advice: "They must. how
ever. watch the enemy at every turn.
They must see that there are no ballots
In the boxes when the polls are
opened; must see that nobody is
permitted to tampsr with the ballot
boxes during the hours allotted to
voting. aud when the polls close. must
carefully watch the counting Of the oal.
lots" We understand that the friends
Of Mr.. Fox have taken this counsel to
heart. and that the honest old beard will
not be permitted to steal a nomination
which would bring unuttsrabls shame
and disgracs upon a party which already
has shame and disgrace enough to
shoulder.

M. Primer. AIlee Calamity.

LONDON. Sept. 5.-Followipg is from
the log Of the steamer Bywsll Castle.
which ran down the excursion steamer
Princess Alice on the Thames. Tuesday
evening": The master and pilot were on
the upper bridge, aud a lookout on the
top-gallant iorecsstle. A light air pre-
vailed; the weather was a little hazy.
At 7:45 p. NJ. proceeded at half speed
down Gallons Reach. When about at
the center OF the reach observed IN s1-
cursion steamer coming up Darling
Reach, showing her red and masthead
lights, when We ported our helm to keep
over towards Tripcock Point. A the
vessels nsarsd, II was observed that the
other vessel had ported her helm. I'm.
mediately afterwards saw she had star
boarded her helm and was trying TO
cross our bows. showing her green light
close under our port bow. Seeing = ool-
lision was inevitable we stopped III en-.
Rines and reversed them at full speed.
The vessels came In collision. the bow
OF the Bywell Castle cutting into the
steamer with q dreadful crash. We took
immediate measures for saving life by
hauling several passengers up over our
bows, throwing overheard ropes ends.
life bouys, . head ladder and several
planks, and getting out u three boats,
at the same time keeping the whistle
blowing loudly for assistance, which was
rendered by several boats from the
shore and o boat from another steamer.
The excursion steamer. which turned
out to be tho Princess Alice. turned over
and quickly sunk under our bows. We
succeeded in rescuing a great many pas.
ssngers and anchored for the night. No
log Of the Princess Alice has been
made up, nor has the captain survived
to give an account Of her course. The
collision will DO the subject OF u Board
Of Trade inquiry Immediately. An &C
curats estimate OF the number OF per-
Sons drowned 10 impossible. but the gen.
eral belief Is that 1t will not fall below
500. The Bywell Castle received no
damage whatever.
