aud all over the United States, Saturday
night was period of great rejoicing mong
the Irish, and mass.meetiugs were held TO
celebrate the release of Parnell, Dillon,
O'kolly and other very prominent Land
beaguers. Union Hall, in this city. was

which did not dispense until n late hour.
and IT was before the adjournment that the
nows of the assassination came flashing
over tho wires. Prominent Irishmen claim
that 1t wns instgated by fanaticsm and ig-
norauce, and was not the outgrowth Of any
concerted political plot.
Saturday mornings papers contained
! dispatch giving the dreadful sequel to the
Inflated J,aunettt expedition and as if the
intelligence that Commander belong and
ten of his companions had been discovered
frozen to death was not startling enough,
came rumor that thirty.seven of the
Rogers crew had also persisted. The lat.
ter report turned ont canard. After the
finding of DeLong and his party by En-.
gincer Melville, in the location he autici.
pated, he kept on in search Of Lieutenant
Chipps and his comrades, but it is the i'm
preston that they were swamped in storm
that separated the three boats. James
Gordon Bennett, the promoter of the Jean

harsh comments from the press, in this con.
necuon, but had it terminated the other
way, he would have been eulogized by the
same papers for his enterprise. Scientists
now assert that any further discoveries
should be left to whalers and others famil-

ers, James G. and John r. Troy, engaged
IN Bancroit's printing establishment knitted
each other in drunken quarrel, OH their
way home, which terminated in the death
of James, the younger. The other was
taken to the City Prison Hospital, where
his wounds in the neck and scalp were
attended to. The fratricide was so drunk
at the time of the quarrel that he does not
remember how it began, and only realized
the enormity of his crime when he saw his
brother fall, who died four minutes after.
a magnificent steamship for the Homo.
| lulu and San Francisco trade, call the San
JoSe, was launched at Chester, Pa, on the
morning of April 30. Another vessel of
similar proportions, for the same trade,
called the San Juan, will be launched the
first of next month. A third vessel. the
san Bias, will be completed early in July,
possibly for the Coast trade. They are all
1000 tons each, with an ordinary rate OF
speed of Is knots, their passenger accom-.
modations being perfect in every respect.
Although they belong to the Pacific Mail
Company, they will probably be the pioneer
vessels of the new steamship lline recently
formed with the Spreckels combination at
the head of it.
The British steamer Ceylon, which ar.
rived here from Hilo Hawaii, April &c, left
yesterday afternoon to continue her cruise
en- route to Southampton. where she will
arrive about next August. In the mean.
time, she will touch at Alazatlan, Panama,
the principal points on the South Ameri.
can coast, Pacific and Atlantic, the Canary
and Madeira Islands. The steamer re.
manned in port long enough to afford the
round-trip tourists to visit Yosemite, the
Geysers, and other places of note.
