The Narraganset: Disaster.
New YORK, June 17th.-The Times says
OF the Narregansett disaster: So far as can
be gathered from the reports made up to
date, there have been 2S6 passengers saved.
If the estimates of the company's officers,
which place the total number of passengers
at 800, be correct, the number of lost does
not exceed IA. If the much higher estimates
of observers who were on board the ill-fated
steamer represent anything like the truth,
the number lost cannot be less than so, and
may greatly exceed that number The real
magnitude of the calamity may never be ac-
curately ascertained.'

from Marshall says: A lady this morning
escorted by two gentlemen, all strangers, en-
tered the Court. The District Attorney met

is lady present. presume it is Miss Cum
Minis. Please have her sworn" This pro-
duced sensation. Colonel Crawford, for the
defense, asked to confer with Miss Cummins
for his side. Witness was put under the rule,
and will be conferred with by both sides.
The arrival of Miss Cummins caused such
confusion that a recess was taken.
Miss Cummins was called after recess, and
gave a graphic narrative of what she saw
from the time of leaving the Opera House
until she left for the North. She saw folr
shots-two at Barrymore, two at Porter. She
said Barrymore and Porter had their heads
turned towards one another talking of Cur
rie's funny expression to Harvey, viz "Do
you want to sell dog ?" and while talking
Currie passed behind them to the front door
and turned, asking if the insult was directed
to him, at the same time using threats did
not see Porter put his hand Ito his ear in the
way complained of by Currie; Harvey dis
appeared from her sight after the first fire.
After the shooting, when appealed to about
allowing such conduct, he made his way, she
thought, over the counter. Witness came d.
rect to this trial frem Windsor, Canada Her
expenses were betrayed by the Dramatic
Ners. She came of her own volition.
This closed the case. The argument begins
tomorrow
