The British barque Fredonia arrival at Boston
yesterday morning, from Fayal, having on board
two hundred and Bovouty-thrce of the paBcn
gers, and thirty-three of the crew of the packet
Bhip Gratitude, which vessel was abandoned at
sea on the 3d instant, in a sinking condition.
The Qralilude, commanded 1y , Captain Mo
Btockcr, left Liverpool, bound for Jew York, on
the 19th of last November, with a lare comple.
merit of passengers and a valuable cargo of
assorted merchandise. She had a very tempos
tuous passage almost from, the time Bbo left
Liverpool until after Christmas, and it Is sup
posed that the ship was badly strained during
the heavy weather she encouqtered.
On the 1st lust, while in latitude 41 30. and
longitude 63, 4ue Gratitude wa fallen in with by
the British barque Fredonia, Capta.n Burke,
from Fajal, bound to Boston, and which vessel,
at the request of Captain McStocker, remained
near the Gratitude to render any ostintauee ibat
' might be needed. Captain Burke, of the barque
Fredonia, soon ascertained that the Gratitude
was in a v ry critical condition, and was fast
tilliuir with water. He immediately set to work
to rescue tho.;e on board of the Gratitude, ai.d it
In mainly owing to the assistance thus oppor
tunely tendered that the most ot them did not
men with a watery trrave.
The Ft edonia lay by the sinking ship Gratitude
for three days, during which tune the passeu
jfera, two hundred and seventy-threo in number,
and thirty-three of the crew, were safely trans
ferred Irom the Gratitude to the Frcd-mia, and
the ill-fated ship was resigaei to the winds and
waves. In order to make room for the unfortu
nates, Captain Burke was obliged to throw over
' board a large portion of his cargo, consisting of
whalebone and oil, and It was with the greatest
difficulty that they could even then all tinJ a
place to' lay their henils. Atler havine this larcc
number of'pprsons so unexpectedly added to his
own crew, Oapta'n Burk" was obliged to place
all bands on short rations, and the sufferings
liom hunger and thirst endured by them lor
more than one whole week can better be una
gired than dr scrib-d.
From the 3d instant until yesterday morning
they subsihted on nothing bin water and biscuits,
and even this means of sustaining life must have
soon given out but lor their icrtunate arrival at
Boston yesterday morning. livery day two
biscuits and hali1 pint of water were issued to
each individual, and they were obliged to live
upon that lor twenty-lour hours'beforo receiving
any more. Had there been a suilicient supply
of provisions on board of the Frcdonia to have
allowed tbe Issuance of larger rations it would
have been done; but ns that vessel was already
short of provisions when she tf 11 in with the
Gratitude, the short allowances were necessi
tated through sheer force ot circumstances.
As soon as the nbove facts became known after
the barque was telegraphed below Borton, a
steamer was despatched to tow bcr up, and on
her arrival the survivors were placed in Kid
dell's Inrue carriaee hall, and had all their wants
generously attended to.by the city authorities
Captain Burke, of the barque Fradmii, is de
serving of ptaise for the manner in which ho lay
with his vessel alongside ol the Gratitude for
three full days, and lor the sailor-liks maimer
in which he rescued so many uufortunate beings
Jrom inevitable death, and the unselfish motives
that prompted him to throw overboard a laree
portion ot his valuable cargo in order to make
room to accommodate them on his own vessel.
Captain McStocker, of the ship Gratitude, is at
present quite sick, his illness evidently being
occasioned by exposure, and the worrying con
eenucnt upon the loss of bis fine vessel.
The Gratitvdi was a vessel of one thousand
three hundred and ton tons burden, and raced

Financial Condition of France Report of
M. Fould.
The repcrt of M. Fould, Minister of Finance,
In publish) d. It states the deficit of 18iit at
about fifty million francs. Notwithstanding
several miscalculations, there Is reason to expect
that the budget for 1865 will be closed with an
equilibrium. The rectified budget for 18GQ is
not yet fixed, but its amount will be less than
that of the preceding, year. M. Fould has pre
sented to the Council of Statu a plan for the
reorganization of the sinking fund, by which
thirtv millions of francs will, tur the first year, be
applied to the reduction of the public debt.
The reductions effected In the public exponso
amount to twenty-six and a half millions, of
w hich fourteen millions are in the war budcret
and seven millions in tho marine. By those
measures tho ordmnry budget lor 1807 will show
a surplus of ninety-two millions, ninety millions
ot which will be applied to the extraordinary
budget for 1867. which, with twenty-five millions
from the Algernn Company, will form a total of
125,000,000. The present amount ot the floating
debt of the State Is 772,000,000, against
8(i8,00l),000 in January last.
New taxes on doors and windows and upon
grindma corn have been proposed by the Italian

HATTERS OVER THE RIVER.
Mean Gab. For a week past the jras la
Camden has been of the most disaarreeable
quality, filling the rooms and apartments where
it is und with sV'stonch that is perfectly nau
seous. The Company would contribute to their
own ard the public interests by remedying the
evils complainod of at once. The price of gas is
siiffirlantly high to warrant the use of pood coal
in the manufacture of that article. As Jt is, it is
deleterious to health. .

The Gehmantown Tragedy. A lot of
ilver snoous were found on Saturday last on the
line of the North Pennsylvania KaUrond, near
r udier's lane. The spoons Dore the initials ot
Miss Mary L. Watts, who was murdered by
Christian Bergcr, at her residence in German
town. They were found by a man who was
passing in the neiehborhood, and were scattered
around as it they had been thrown away in a hurry
bv some one. These spoons were undoubtedly
taken by Bereer at the time he committed the
murder, xne murderer is now in moyainensing
ITison awaiting his trial, which will probably
be commenced this week. He appears rather
broken down, and has but little to say.
On Saturday last we visited his cell, and in
reierence to a remark dropped by us in reference
to the horrible tragedy, lie replied: "Yes, 1
don't know what cvsr induced me to commit
such a ciime," although in the same breath ho
further stated that he had no recollection of
cuttnar the old woman's throat. One ot the
party in attendance at the time remarked to
him that such deeds were only committed by
those possessed ot tbe Devil, to which the pri-
foner replied, mat ne supposed tie must nave
been possessed by that noted iudividual at the
lime.
As we were about leaving him ho burst into
tears, 8id t-nid he wished he could be removed
tinm hi cell to the one overhead, on the second
floor. We wished to know why, when be said,
'Ob, I could then be so much npurer my Lord."
Since his confinement he appears restless aud
nervous, although be eats heartily and seems to
rest well. Tho prisoner has quite a youthful
appearance. His father during the examina
tion before the inquest of tho Coroner, testified
thr.t his son was only twenty years ot ae. The
old man wus much egitnted nt the time, and
evidently mndc a mistake.
W e have been informed from other ot his rela
tives that ho is about twenty-two years of aga.
lie Is ot medium size, ami about one hundred
and fifty pounds in weight. In general appear
unce he much resembles young Armstrong, who
was executed iu Moynuionsiiig Prison a few
years since for the murder of Crawford. Berber
ince his confinement has been visited by uis
lather and other relatives. Ilia wue is still
extremely '11, aud may never recover from the
terrible shock.
The spoons were found not far from where the
razor with which the murder was comnntled
was lying. The prisoner has not. since his
arrest, alluded to taking the spoons. His state
ment is, that alter be had got about a mile from
the house, he put his hand iu his pocket, and
drew torth the bloody razor aud tlie roll ot
greenbacks, about $53, in tens, Uvpb, and ones,
taken liom Miss Watts. He says he threw the
razor away, and this part ol his story is no doubt
true, as the razor was found at the place where
he stated.
If the prisoner was crazv' then,' as he con
tends, it is sontwwhut singular that ne did not
throw the money away at the same time. Tuo
teciet of the whole alfair U, that ho knew the
razor and the (silver spoons would be strong
evidence against him, aid tearful (as all mur
derers are) that he mielit have been men and
arrested at any moment before he bad a chance
to dispose of these two articles, be dropped
them as soon as bo was out of sight of the house.
The fact of the irhding of the spoons will, it is
thoujrht, be admit'ed by Berercr, when he is
questioned in regard to them. Time mav de
velop that he has taken many more articles
than those which have been tound.

IsBUitANCB Against Accident. A ne
idea, perhaps sueeosted by the frequency, of
railroad casualties, has been developed by some
ehrewd business men, and an aeency has been
established at the pension office of Matthews,
Poubou & Co., No. 808 Walnut street. The
scheme is to Insure life and limb against harm
In travelling. The investment will repay, as by
th? investment of a small sum, serious maiming
and disaster may bo provided for, and the care
lessness ot railway employes, if not avoided, at
least mitigated. The project hi a good one and
deserves attention.
Chicken Stealing. This morning at an
early hour, two colored men, giviner the names
of Abraham Jackson and Thomas Johnson were
arrested at Sixth and 1'ino streets, each having
a hag in their possession. The bags were found
to contain a lot of chickens, ,1ust killed. The
prisoners stated that tbey were employed near
llestonville, and had received the chickens in
payment for their services. This story of course
didnottuke. The men were locked up, and the
chickens are at the Fifth Ward Station House
awaiting an oener.
TIoebible Accident. Patrick Darley
was tound lying in the passenger railway track
at Broad street and Geruiantown road ou Satur
day night, tho cars having passed over both of
his legs below his knees. Ho was conveyed to
tho Episcopal Hospital, where it was found ne
cessary to amputate Doth ot the injured ninos.
