A Floating Palace-The Norwich Line's New Steamer-Most Elegant Boat on the Sound.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Captain Gardner, the | superintendent of the Norwich line, gives the following information concerning the ! company's new iron Sound steamer the City | of Worcestar, now being furnished by the | Harlan & Hollingsworth company, of Will | mington, Del. She will have the largest l freight capacity of any Sound boat All that 1 money can do to finish and furnish her in ' the most elegant manner will be done Her passenger carrying capacity will be 800. | There will be twelve large staterooms, with bedsteads instead of berths, and 163 ordina- ry staterooms. Her lower or main deck cabin will be finished in hard wood. The stateroom hall will also be finished in hard | wood, and, with the pilasters and cornices, ! will be in the Queen Anne style. There will be double tier of staterooms forward. Meals ! will be served in the forward part of the | stateroom hall, which will be much pleasanter than eating below the main deck, as is the present custom, espe- cial1y in the hot summer days. Spe- cia1 precautions have been taken in building the vessel to provide all the safe- guards against loss of life of passengers by I fire or water As protection from the for I mer, her boilers and sengines are all encased ! in iron, and all ventilators to them are of | iron, and run to the hurricane deck, making 1 it absolutely impossible for fire to be
 communicated from the boilers to the woodwork in case of accident. There will | be two sets of fire pumps situated in different
 parts of the steamer. It will be almost an impossibility for her to sink, as the six iron water-tight bulkheads which she has 1 are so constructed that, in case of accident from collision. any two of them may be stove in and filled with water, and yet the remain ing four will easily keep her afoat. She will in addition to this, have all the latest appi- l ances for life saving.
 The following are her principal dimensions:
 Length of deck, 24o feet; breadth of beam, | 46 feet breadth over all, 80 feet; depth of
 hold, Is feet, inches; diameter of cylinder, l 90 inches; length of stroke, 12 feet; diame- ter of wheel, 38 feet face of wheel. Il feet i;
 horse power, 2,5O0. She will use the electric
 light at night. Her cost will be upwards of $500, ,OOO Her building was begun last Sep
 tsmber, and her launch will take place within 8 few days

Parnell's Campaign-WorlkinR Up Sym. ! pathy in France-The Protection Bill Still Under Dfscussfon-Vfctor Hugo tG Appeal to Europe for Ireland's Cause LONDON, Feb. 17.--A~ Paris dispatch sayi Parnel is going to address letter to the I French people, dealing with the condition ot l the country. Victor Hugo will write an ad l dress inviting the nations of Europe to take up the Irish cause.
 The additional rules of restriction by the Speaker of the House of Commons to curv obstruction meet with much opposition from both Tories and Home Rulers and are likely to produce lively time, as the Home Rulers are joining the Tories in the opposition. MT. Chamberlain writes on Ireland: II
 am sanguine enough to hope that when the present irritation has passed away and Glad stone has been permitted to disclose the pro- visions of his promised land bill these will be found satisfactory to all reasonable men in Ireland and will reftire the peace and conf dence which that country so much needs" There are still upward of fifty amendments to the bill for the better protection of person and property in Ireland awaiting discussion in committee in the House of Commons. The consideration of the second subsection of the first clause of the bill is not yet ended.
 Captain Allan Henry Bellingham (Con- seryative and Home Rule) member of Parlia- ment for Louth, and Private Chamberlain to Pope Leo XIII, writes to the Iiaaes protest ing against interviews of Irish members of Parliament with continental revolutionary leaders; and says he must completely disso- ciate himself from the sentiments expressed at such interviews.
 The Tunes in 8 leading article this morn ing, says sWe are informed that in one dis trict in the west of Ireland, notorious as the scene of more than one scandalous Land League victory, between twenty and thirty village tyrants have quietly absconded since the second reading of the protection of person and property bill.
 In the House of Commons this afternoon Mr. Henry Fawcett simply replied "No" to 8 question by MT. Henry Labouchere (Ad- vanced LberaD whether the warrants author izing him to open letters in transit would be presented to the House. The answer was greeted with prolonged cheers. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Home Secretary, replying to question by MT. Joseph Cowen CRadical Reformer) said it was not intended to limit the present power for opening letters.
 In the House of Commons ths afternoon, Premier Gladstone gave notice that unless the committee on the protection bill closed tonight, he will move tomorrow that the chairman report the bill before midnight, This motion will be in accordance with the Speakers new rule, which provides that such motion be put without debate, and if carried by majority of three to one the chairman of the committee will leave the chuir at midnight, thus compulsorily closing the committee stage of the bill

TOLEDO, O., Feb. 17.-At two o'clock this morning fire was discovered in Wilcox Bros.' four story brick block used as an ex- tensive ship chandlery and supplies. The building was filled from basement to garret with the most infiammable material. The building was so portioned off that the fire men had great difficulty in getting to the seat of the fire In twenty minutes after the fire was discovered, owing to the intense heat and immense weight upon the upper floors and hanging from the walls, the building tipped over with 8 tremendous crash, fortunately, however, before the firemen had gone far into the building All escaped injury. Owing to the condition of the street between which and the river the building was situated, and in which cakes of ice still remained from the recent flood, the progress of the fire de- partment was greatly impeded The flames were confined to this building, although on either side stood large wooden warehouse, one of which was seriously damaged by the toppling over of the brick building. The loss on building and stock is $4O,O ,O0O, insured for $50, ,O0O.
