DOTS AND DAsHEs.

London: The great Trenton colliery
company will close its mines until trade
revives. -.
San Francisco: ]. Fl. Snow, first
mate Of the bark D. e. Whetmore, has
been indicted by the United States
grand jury, for the murder of Charles
Elwood, second mate of the vessel.
Berlin: The progressist party has
adopted programme which includes a
trial by jury for political offenses, and
the right of parliament to fix the num-
bers Of the military contingent, and to
vote supplies annually.
1t is believed that Hadley, alias Sack
vile, now awaiting requisition from
the governor of California, is forger
to the extent of one hundred thousand
dollars. The forgery was cleverly done,
and the paper on which the letter of
Identification was written even bore
the watermark used on the regular
bank paper.

ran across her bow and came on to her
port bow, turning her around COM

speed. He was not aware the Pom
merania had sunk until he arrived at
Folkestone. on.
The various accounts Of the survl-
vors concur in praising Capt. Schwen-
ser and his officers, but represent that
the crew only added to the confusion
by determination to save themselves.
Capt. Schwenser, In order to quell the
excitement, told the passengers the ves-
sci was aground. E
Roderick Schneider, a passenger.
states that the captain, replying to the
repeated entreaties to get into one Of
the boats, asked them to stand along
side, when the mate shouted: I'VE have
waited long enough" :" The captain
told them to pull away a little and
wait. Just then the vessel sank. As
she went down Capt. Schwenser threw
up his arms and exclaimed: "Oh Godl"
While the boat was rowing about we
saw many people in the water with
life-preservers wrongly put on, so that
the lower part of the body was floating
while the head was under the water.
The conduct Of the second boatswain
on board the steamer, in endeavoring
to save the ladies, was admirable, and
the carpenters stood by with hatchets
threatening to kill anybody who at
tempted to rush into the boats. Mary
Clymer says she was in the same berth
with her sister Rose, when they were
awakened by a crash, and rushed on
deck, half dressed, to where the boats
were being put off. They were there
Joined by their brother who assisted her
Mary into the boat. A sailor threw
Rose in but she fell into the water and
had to be dragged out. Young Clymer,
who remained on the steamer, seeing
the boat was full, and the sailors trying
to get aboard, thus endangering the
lives of all, cut the ropes and set her
adrift, saying ''good bye" to his saved
relatives. He thought his mother and
other relatives were in the boat, but
the sailors had prevented them from
getting in. 1t is noticeable fact that
108 sailors out of Ill are saved. The
following officers are known to be
among the saved: R. Trausen, chief
officer; Hillen, (probably o. Helmes,)
chief engineer; and G. Neins, second
officer.

sentation of the Mexican government

our government for consideration.
The Mexican government win soon,
through its counsel, furnish proofs in
support of its charge Of frauds.

Disastrous Collision.

London, Nov. ga collision oc-
CURED at midnight during fog, eight
miles from Folkstone. A Welsh bark.
reported to be the Noel Eilian, or Car
navon, from Rotterdam to Cardiff, and
the Pommerania, en- route from Ply
mouth to Hamburg. The Pommerania
foundered in about ten minutes. 1t
had on board 22O persons, 1852 of whom
were saved and 5S are missing, includ-
ing Cnpt. Schwenser, second officer
Fokkes and third officer Barrow.
The Pommerania had on board 152
passengers when she sailed from New
York November 14th. 1t is not known
how many left at Plymouth, as passage
is always engaged for Hamburg even
If the passengers intend to land at Ply
mouth or Cherbourg. The officers and
crew numbered Ill.
Dover, Nov. 26.-Fifty-eight passen-
gers are still missing; the most of those
rescued had nothing on save their night
clothes, and as the night was very cold
their suffering was intense. The larger
portion Of them were in the water
clinging to the debris of the wreck
when rescued, but few succeeded in
getting into the boats before she went
down.
Another statement of the disaster
says the Pommerania was proceeding
at u moderate speed when deafening
crash was heard. The decks were soon
filled with affrighted passengers; the
confusion was terrible, and the air
filled with prayers and curses. The
veteran Capt. Schwenser stood on the
bridge giving orders in cool voice to
have the life boats taken out from the
davits. No little delay, unfortunately,
occurred in launching the boats, the
night being dark and foggy. OF the
eight boats the Pommerania carried
five were successfully launched, each
boat holding twenty persons in addi-
tion to the crew.
London, Nov. 26.-Capt. Pritchard,
of the bark Noel Eilian, is very reti-
cent, and refuses to show his log. He
says he was going down the channel at
five knots an hour; he was on deck.
Tie Noel Eilian had been sounding
the fog horn all night until the steam
er's lights were visible. The collision
occurred almost before those on board
the Noel Eilian were aware. The
blow was glancing one; the bark
bounded off, and he did not again see
the steamer. Capt. Pritchard thought
he was sinking. The Noel Eilian was
too much disabled " render assistance;
seven feet of her beam were carried
away. Her lights were burning bright
ly at the time; she was sailing free or
the starboard tack; the Pommeranif

South American Commerce.

Washington, Nov. 26.-J.W. Frolick,
special agent OF state and post office
departments to inquire into the condi-
tion of commercial and postal affairs
In South American states, has returned,
and reports that an immense trade is
open to the United States on both the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South
America. He says very great inter-
est was expressed in the highest official
quarters in the possible establishment
Of an American steamship line to Chilli.
He further said: s.Had i been sempow-
cred to present such y proposition,
would have been met by an official ten
der of contract for the mail service
in sum not less than now given the
Pacific steam navigation company.
This fact is u marked evidence of the
interest in such movement, and also
shows the confidence felt in our ability
to supply the wants of commerce ON
that coast.

ANOTHER Of those horrible marine
disasters that curdle the blood and
sicken the soul occurred yesterday, in
the straits of Dover. Primarily, a
dense fog was the cause, but sailor
on board the sunken vessel saw the
lights of the other vessel ten minutes
before the collision. He thought there
was no danger, and failed to report his
knowledge. OF course there was large
loss of life, but not 30 great as on the
Princess Alice short time since. 1t
is significant fact that 10S out of the
the Ill sailors were saved. The chief
officers, however, displayed great BRAY

Copenhagen, Nov. 26.-The state

that the threatening attitude assumed
by the Prussian government against
the duke of Cumberland, simultane-
ously with the declaration of his be-
trothal to Princess Thyra, is causing
some uneasiness.
