Pilot blamed for Collision.

New London, Conn.,, April a.
United States Local Stesmb ,al Inspectors
Whitney aud Stewart today gave out their
findings in the case OF tho collision of
the steamer Larchmont, Of the Joy line,
aud the schooner Harry Knowlton, on
the last of February last, which resulted
in the disabling of the Kuowlton and
the sinking OF the Larehmont with a
great loss of life. Reviewing the evil
dence the finding places the blame for
The collision on Pilot John Wauson, of
the steamer Larchmont, and finds that
the incompetent help OF the sieamer anr
tue fact that q sufficient number of life
boats to handle the passengers we're not
properly dayited, was undoubtedly re-
sponsible for the fact that so few Of the
passengers and crew were saved. The
finding exonerated Captain McVey from
the blame for the disaster from any
charge OF incompetency or misconduct.

TOday's Telegrsphic News
A New. war Cloud.

Berlin, April pa new war cloud
is showing itself over Europe as the re-
suit of a brilliant comp by Kaiser Will
helm 10 establishing the German Orient
Bank Of Berlin, as the financial hacker
of the new constitutional government OF
Persia. This move will check The plans
OF England and Russia for the dividing
OF Persia into two spheres under their
immediate influence.
The old time rivalry between Germany
and England, which bad already brought
the two nations to the danger line owing
to the activity of Fuglaud in trying TO
break the triple alliance has been greatly
augmented by the Kaiser's sbrewd move.
England's anger is certain TO be the
more violent bscaase she had planned
to make herself the financial prop Of
tho Shah.
A preliminary agreement has been
made by Herr Stemrich, the Germsn
minister at Teherau, for the German
Orient Bank to support the National
Bank OF Persia at 1eheraD. When IL
nally completed the srraignment will
make Germany Persia's financial spon'
s0r.
BY securing this footing in Peria Ger
many is 10 a position to check Eugland's
and Russia's designs on Persia and the
situation in the Orient is completely
changed. Wilhelm has gained distinct
triumph in Asia, but his success is sure
to react upou EnropeRh politics. 10
many quarters it is believed Germany's
Persia coup brings immessureably closer
what is regarded as an unauoidably con-
flict between Germany and England.
Emperor Williams step to establish
himself in that country may therefore be
regarded by British statesmen rs a d.
rect challenge to Great Britain.

MONDAY EVENING. APRIL %, 1867.

THERE was lodge of sorrow at tho
meeting Of the City Council last SaInr.
day night especially in the Board OF
Aldermen, three members of the latter
body and the messenger having died
during the past two months, while an
other, young, popular and faithful
ropresenlative from the Second ward,
was confaed to his home by Illness.
When all the seats are filed but ten
persons appear in the chamber in the
north wing Of the City Hall - eight AL.
dermen. the clerk and the messenger.
On Saturday night only four members
of the board could appear, one Of the
survivors being out of the city and an
other PROSTATE upon a bed of sickness.
Death had cut wide swath In the ranks
of the corpora's guard which usually
FATHERS bi-monthly in the Aldermen s
chamber and the expressions Of sympa-
tby which came from the survivors we're
IRON the soul and we're expressed with
evidences of emotion. Seldom does the
king of terrors use his scythe with such
effect in little band, and the qualernion
which gathered realized the sad import
of the occasion. Two days only had
elapsed since they had followed the re-
mains of the president of the board TO
the cily Of the dead, aud by the time
Grape ceased to nulter upon the door
knob of The home Of the deceased, the
already decimaled ranks OF the Board OF
Aldermen was aPpfised Of the sudden
taking away of another member, who,
like those who had preceded him. had
served the community in one capacity or
another from e2,ly manhood. The heads
Of the last two had whitened during
their official careers. Two hours before
the third Aldermen paid the debt OF
nature, the faithful and popular messen-
ger had laid aside the staff OF life and
passed on 10 the shores of the great un'
known. There is seldom any friction In
the Board of Aldermen, the low gentle
men composing that body generally be
ing of one accord, and it has been no.
ticed recently that although occasionally
iucrchanges Of opinions were carried
on. there was but little that ssYOred of
discussion, certainly not of the factions,
aud when votes we're finally taken all
generally voted the same way. Besides
this the Aldermen seldom failed to con-
cur in The action of The lower board on
such papers Ms were sent to them. Each
and every member seemed to realize that
he WAS simply representative OF the
people, aud not elected to manifest re-
sentiment incidental to previous political
issues. The best of feeling prevailed in
the little band, although in by-gone
days the members had differed widely
in certain contests when they we're
champions of other candidates. 10 the
little flock there we're men who lad viO-
leatly aulagonized each other in the pO-
li,ieAl arena. both as contestants and
hackers Of the same. Each had mani
tested the true spirit By rising superior
TO all recollections Of the past and was
working with one accord in the interests
of the city. May the same spirit con.
iinue to actuate the Survivors and guide
the successors of those who have laid
aside their burdens.
