The Cunard Ntrainer hsmarls NlKteen Days m from Mueenwtown A (Surmise About the ttir ut HoHtoa-llope Dying Public attention has been so painfully attracted to the perils of ocean navigation within the last few days by the prolonged and uuaccouaUble de tention of the City of lioston, that even the slightest delay in the arrival of another steamer Is seized upon by rumor's busy tongue- and spread about as a portentous omen of disaster. A rumor of this kind respecting the Cunard steamer Samaria caused considerable excitement yesterday. Various stories were In circulation, some connecting in a vague way the Sainaria with the City of Boston, aud all containing more or less of sensationalism. The simple facts In the case are given below. In order to show how little real cause there Is for alarm as yet. The Samaria is a first-class screw steamer of about 24(10 tous register, built on the Clyde In 1868, and owned and employed by the Cunard Steamship Company as a passenger and freight boat. She is not usually employed as a mail boat, but Is at present briuging a British mail. She sailed from Liverpool on the 20th and from Queenstown on the 27th ultimo, under command of Captain Ilurrison, and bringing a mail, some two huudred passengers and a general cargo of small merchandise, all consigned to G. C. Francklyn, the agent of the Cunard line in this city. She has been sixteen days out, but on oue previous occasion occu pied fourteen days on the passage, and another steamer of this Hue has occupied eighteen days. The ftniuara Current In England The Wreck on the Cardigan Coast The Hteamer Maid to Fri m the London Times, March 8. Mr. William Inman sends the following tele gram from Windermere, dated last nigbt: 'I see a second letter in the Tim of to-day about tne City of Boston. She left Halifax without ny defect, and she has plenty of provisions. Her Majesty's steamer Druid went to Sable Inland last muKti. hut we believe the rockers reported were sent op by the Canadian steamer Nova Seotlan." A private telegram Is said to have been re ceived at Bristol announcing the safety of the City of Boston, and that she had beau spoken off Ireland, but that both of her cylinders are gone. From, the Echo. The harbor authorities at Kingstown received a report on Sunday night which seems to indi cate that the missing steamer, the City of Boston, has been wrecked. Mr. John Colling vood, master of the bark Russell, from Mariano pie to Dublin with wheat, reported that when at eea, on the moruiug of Saturday, the Small Lights (in Cardigan Bay), bearing N. E. by N. about 33 miles, weather fine, he passed the funnel of a steamer, apparently belonging to a very large ship, fast to a portion of wreck, and lificd up aud down from six to eight feet in the water. The Russell passed the funnel about thirty yards to the windward. It Is to be feared that this was the funnel of tho City of Boston, screw steamship, now so long due. A Liverpool cor respondent states that tbe underwriters of tho vessel ore more confident than they were on Saturday, and that sixty guineas premium could command any amount of Insurance. The opinion of experienced masters is that the City of Boston is coming on under sail, and that she will be heard of off the Irish coast about Thurs day. from t he London taxi Telegraph, A private telegram is said to have been re ceived at Bristol yesterday announcing the safety of the City of Boston steamer. She is re ported to have been spoken off the Irish coast, with both cylinders broken. (We have made Inquiries, and regret to say that we are unable to confirm this rumor in any particular.) From the London Daily S'ewt. The Allan Company s Bteamer Nestorian, which has arrived at Portland from Liverpool, had the roughest westerly passage ever encoun tered by that ship. Tho gales commenced on Saturday, the 6th, and continued throughout Sunday. The sea at tbe time ran uncommonly high, but being completely decked In the vessel lived through it. During the gale a sea came over her port quarter, earring away the binnacle near the mizzeumast, bursting In the doors of tho smoklng-house, just forward of tho mizzenmast, aud the concussion was such as to smash all the stained glass in the houe, which at the time was covered with wooden shutters. An officer was standing on the starboard side when the sea camo over, holding on the mast pins, which, although heavy and of brass, were bent before he lot go. He was thrown into the mizzen rigging, aud had his nose broken. The Bessie, which has arrived at Liverpool from New Orleans, encoun tered fearful weather. Her decks were swept, tbe wheel broken, her sides stove In, and the cargo much damaged by the seas which swept over her. RAPID TRASSIT. The Proposed Arcade Hallway Under Broad way, new xeru. George B. McClellanf Win. J. McAlpine, Eg bert L. vlele, Julius W. Adams, Sylvester Sweet, I. F. Qulnby, and John B. Jarvls, haviug been requested as a Board of Engineers "to cousider the question of a subway under Broadway, In the city of New York, with the view of relieving Mih street from its present interruptions, and of affording a more convenient and speedy transit for passengers and tor merchandise, without Ininrv to the property upon the line of the street, or diversion ot tho established classes of business thereon, nave submitted a report In which they say that a tiuh.Arcade Rail' way, such as is proposed by tho New York Ar radu Itailwav Company, will accomplish the ob iects desired, namelv: 1. It provides a pleasant. ranid traniilt for through passengers between the lower and upper ends of the Island, and a slower but still speedy movement lor tne local passes pert,. 2. It ttrovides a chcan and convenient chan iiel for the conveyance of freight between the termini of the steam railways, aud a large por tion of tbe business houses in the city. 8. It classifies tbe travel aud trade, and removes from the present street so many of the vehicles as to ' render it more useiui ana pieakani tor carnages, 4. It furnishes an arcade avenue and prome nade, convenient for pedestrians at all times, in warm, cold, or stormy weather. 5. Tho sub- way will bo well ventilated and lighted, bo ttatf Its use will ho pleasant and hculiliy. (. It can bo constructed without Interruption either to the travel on the street or the convenient two of the buildings adjacent, and without occupying the street for the hauling of the inatciUis re quired from or to the work: and it can lie built without endangering any of the structures along the street, and with arrangement for a better location of the water and gas pipes and sewers, and without any Interruption of the present connections. 7. The route selected Is determined by the topography of the Island. 8. It in no case occupies or Injures any private property, but in nearly all cases greatly euhances the value of (he property along its route. 9. There are no difficulties attending the construc tion of the work which cannot be overcome with engineering skill, and at a comparatively mode rate cost. Fina'ly, it meets a necessity In the most complete and unobjectionable manner. The estimated cost is from fl,KK),000 to t2,000,000 per mile. The board thinks the highest of these sums would in general be su in dent to cover the expense. THE BOOK CONCERN FRAUDS. Tbe nook Committee' Majority Report domed, nllaa Whitewashed Mhaklnf Kn. tue Church to It Foundation. Yesterday the New York Preachers' Meeting of the Methodist Episcopal Church discussed the recent majority and minority reports of the Book Committee. The subject was introduced by the Rev. Dr. Andrews in the form of resolu tions congratulating tbe Methodist Church aud community that the charges made against the management of tho Book Concern aud its ofliclals have been disproved, and hoping that hereafter the subject would not be agitated until it shall come properly before tho General Con ference for Its action. Dr. Ridgaway opposed these resolutions bo cause they aspersed by imputation the charac ters of the minority of tho committee; aud be knew them to be men of integrity and honesty of purposo, and thoroughly loyal to the Church. Dr. I otter believed tho discussion had already taken such a wide range that the Church, has been shaken to its foundations, and bitterness of temper has been roused to such an extent as he feared would Interfere with the harmony and peace of the Church. Dr. Craw ford also believed that tho agitation had already done irreparable damage to the Methodist Church, and it was about time now to stop It. Lie was an outsider, and had no knowledge of facts that had not been published, but he was willing to take the testimony of ten good and true men, servants of God, rather than that of three equally good men who present a different verdict. He was in favor of dropping the sub ject here. Dr. Curry had sifted and winnowed the whole matter, both publicly and privately, and he never had seen presented such a bundle ot chaff with out a single grain of wheat. There had not been a single tangible proof of fraud or defalcation sustained against the head of the paper depart ment, and the head of the bindery department had proved conclusively to the committee that he bad lost money by accepting the gold sweep ings in lieu of a certain amount which had been deducted from his salary. Although the Doctor aud the committee believed that such an ar rangement was highly impolitic and unwise, yet it did not evidence fraud. There was in it, to be sure, a temptation to dishonesty; but nothing more. It was a cheat and a falsehood to publish the minority paper and suppress the whole trnth in tho matter. Dr. Tiffany opposed the resolutions because tue v did not state the tacts, or, in etutinir them, presented but one side. He sympathized with the majority report; but he believed that an anxiety had been created in the mind of the cuurcn which neither oi tnose reports naa satis fied, aud he did not see what good the action of an unconstitutional body like the Preachers' Meeting could have upon tho subject. Mr. Taylor thought that every good would come out ot the discussion, ana that tne suoject matter having now como before them, their non-action would have as much weight outside as their action. He did not fear for tho safety of the Church, as some of his brethren did. He be lieved it is going to stand, eveu if the Book Concern should go to the bottom. Dr. Wood ruff thought the majority of the committee were as deserving of credence as the minority; but in all the discussions that had taken place the report of the former was stigmatized as a whitewashing report, and their motives and character had been maligned and perverted. ihe Key. Air. tiermance, alter a tew remarks. moved to lay the resolutions on tho table, which action was lost, and they were subsequently adopted. MOB RULE. Particular of the Double Murder In Louisiana iiorrioie scene. Of tbe murder of Colonel Jones and his son by tbe mob avengers of General Liddell's death, the New Orleans Picayune says: W hen the contest commenced, tne three were in a front room. The father, staudlng near a bedstead, rested his wounded left arm on it, and in his right hand held a revolver pointed at the portal. The second sou stood immediately in rear, with two revolvers pointed in the same direction. Tbe third son (the one who is now in the city) was still further back, armed with one revolver. In the brief parley the younger brother had urged the nnhappy little garrison to take a station up stairs, and the other two insisted that if fire was used that course would only lead to certain destruction, and that as death was apparently inevitable all had best meet it boldly. The youth, however, did not seem disposed to give up all hopes, and before the assault had fairly commenced, he retreated through a rear room in the direction of the staircase. About the time he had placed his foot on the first step, there came a terrific banging at the door, appa rently with an axe. Hurrying up, he was startled with a crash; the dwor had fallen, and tbe horror which followed rivalled terrors of bell itself. A dozen shots in quick succession, a fiendish yell, tbe groau of a dying man, aud tne tramp oi Heavy lootstcps. aien, like wild beasts maddened at the sight of blood, rushed in all directions. The older son. desperately wounded, totteied out to tho garden in tho rear only to have the remnant of life shot out of him dv a wretcn (.revolver in nana;, wno stood over him as he lay gasping on the ground. The work of carnage was of short duratton: ten minutes completed tho butchery below, and then a rush was made for tho upper story for the oue more victim, a beardless boy, who re mained for their huugry bullets, lo leap to the ground and certain death, or present his breast to tue now ascending assassins, was tho thought of an instant. While the assailants were yet on the stairs he concluded to do neither, and sprang through a front window, where, grasping a ledge formed uudcr tho sill, he swuner himself out and hung suspended. blood below, blood-thirsty enemies above. How long he remained there Is better told by his hands covered with blisters and so bruised and strained that even now they are nearly useless, Tbe room was speedily tilled with men. Torches were thrust out almost over his head, but thanks to their blinding glare the victim hungunsecn. They evidently believed he had escaped. Parties were even sent to tbe river, but after a stay of perhaps fifteen minutes the scene of horror was deserted. The Boston OommonioeaUh says: "John Bright intended to visit our country soon after the surrender of General Lee, and had resolved to come. Wise friends persuaded him to defer his visit. He acceded to their request, as they were Americans, and his personal friends. But If he lives long enough to shape the government of England, and retain a moderate shore of health, John Bright is certain to tread the sanc tified soil of our redeemed republic" TITAL STATISTICS. 1,1 FF, HEATH, AMP AlATRt.HONV. The Record of PhllndHphla for ISO!)-Annual Iti pn ol the Health IMllrer, Nhowlnx ' Number of Hlrthn, DrathN, und Alarrl.tHe lu he dry during the Year. John E. Addlcks, Esq., the Health Officer of this city, has submitted to tho Board of Health his annual report upon the births, deaths, and marriages registered In his departmeut during the year ending December 81, 1809. (General Mnnltnry Condition of the City. The report states that "tho general sanitary condition of the city during the year will cotn- fiare favorably with that of any other of tho arge cities, the net deaths amounting to 13,428, as our mortuary table will show, and if our esti mate of the population is near the correct figure (say 800,000), we have only 1 death In every 63 of the population, which Is certainly a very small death rate. "Among the registered diseases we And nothing to attract any particular attention, or preseui any form of an epidemic, unless it he scarlet fever, which increased considerably during the year, and reached the number 7D'., a large in crease over the previous year, and the highest that bad been attained since the year 18(51, and regret at tho close of the year it was still on tbe Increase. We only had six deaths from small pox, nine from sporadic cholera, and one death from yellow fever, which was brought from New Orleans for Interment In this city. "It is highly gratifying we can present such a favorable report of the heolth of our city, and while our tables of mortality are correct, yet it is to be regretted that those of our births and marriages still remain defective, and will con tinue so until our community become awakeued to the Importance of registration. Wo expe rience considerable trouble with a large number of the physicians in not receiving their returns of births at the propertimc, as ourcollcetors are compelled to call very often after their reports without success, and in some cases are positively refused: and at the close of the year it is with great difficulty we obtain thorn, thus entailing much additional labor on the officers, and de laying the completion of the report. Conside rable trouble Is also had with a lew of the cler gymen and aldermen, who neglect to report at the proper time. Consequently we are com pelled to notify them, and then receive their returns for the entire year, which also adds much more labor, and which can be avoided very easily if these parties would manifest the proper Interest in tho workings of the law."

Through the smoke tho figure of, as was supposed, u negro was seen inside standing with outstretched arms, as If Imploring aid. A gallant fireman, seizing an axe, broke the door open, and rnshed In amid flame and smoke, presently returning with the rescued sufferer In his arms. The cheers of the crowd greeted him as bo bore his burden Into the street and attempted to set it down. It was stiff, and couldn't sit down. It stands to this hour in the same posture, with outstretched arms; for it was a wooden image of a monkey used as a sign for the saloon and taken In every night.
