swer to another from Mr. Seward, concerning
the Alabama claims:
'I.OKD BTANI.KY TO MR. FORT).
FonKioN Office, Nov. 16, 1807. Sir: In my
desputcb loHtr. F. Bruce ot the 10th ot Bepi em
ber I confined myseir to a mere statement of
the mbstnnoe of a despatch from Mr. Howard
which Mr. Adams had communicated to me In
reply to my despatch of the 21th ot May, re
specting the chums arising on either si. le out
oi thoeveuts of the late civil war In the United
btatts,
"Her Majesty's Government having since the
date of my despatch fully considered the terms
of Mr. Reward's despatch. I wfll no longer delay
acquainting you, for communication to thai
Minister, with the impression H has made upon
them.
"Her Majesty's Government observe that the
President of the United Htatea considers the
terms used In my despatch with reference to
tbe so-called Alabama claims to be at once com.
prehenBlve aud sufficiently precise to Include
all the claims of A merlcan citizens for deprada
tlons upon their commerce during the late He.
belllon, which have been tbe subject of com.
plaint upon the part of the Government of the
United Htates: those terms being, to quote the
precise words of my despatch of lhe2llh of May,
applicable to this class of claims, aud which, In
eubntance, tepeala those ui by me In my
despatch of the 0th of March, that the question
on which Great Britain was ready to go to arbi
tration was, 'whether. In the matters connected
with the vessels out of whose depredations the
claims of American citizens have arisen, the
course pursued by the .British Government,
and by those who acted upon Us authority, was
such as would Involve a moral responsibility
on the part of the British Government to make
good, either In whole or in part, the losses of
American citizens.'
"In the same and In the previous despatches
It will be found that, while agreeing to this
limited reference as regards the so-called Ala
bama claims, I have lepeatedly stated that ber
Majesty's Government could not consent to
reler to a foreign power to determine wnetber
tbe policy of ber Majesty's Government In re
cognising the Confederate Utates as belligerents
was or was not suitable to the clrcumstauces of
the time when the negotiation took place. After
referring, however, to the terms of my despatch
oftheiUlhof May, Mr. Seward goes on to say
tnat. In tbe view taken by the United States
Government, that Government would deem
itself at liberty to lnsi6t before the arbiter that
tbe actual proceedings and relations of the Bri
tish Government, lis ollicers, agents, and sub
Jpcs towards the United States in regard to the
Rebellion and the Rebels as they occurred dur
ing that Kebollion, aro among the matters
which are connected with the vessels whose
deprecations are complalued of; lust as iu the
case of the iieneral claims alluded to by me, the
actual proceedings and relations of her Ma
jesty's Government, Its oftioers, agents, and
subjects, in regard to the United States, in
regard to the Rebellion and the Rebels, are
necessarily connected with the transactions out
of which those general claims arise.
"rue language thus used by Mr. Seward ap
pears to ber Majesty's Government to be open
to the construction that it is the desire of the
United htates Uovernment that any tribunal
to be agreed upon in dealing with the so-called
Alabama claims or with the 'general claims'
rnlgtit enter Into tbe question, whether the aot
of policy of her Mnjesti 'a Government in recD
ni.irg tue Confederate Htates as a belligerent
power was or was not suitable to the circum
stances of the time when the recognition was
made a consttuelion wblch, after the dis
tinct and repeated Bvowal of her Majesty's Uov
tmmiui, can hardly suppoi that it was in
tended by Mr. Seward that the passage in his
dec i atch should bear.
"But to prevent anv misapprehension on this
subject, her Majesty's Government think it
necessary distinctly to say, both as regards the
so-called Alabama claims brought forward by
tbe citizens of the United Slutes, and as re
gards tne general claims, that tuey cannot de
part, direct ly or lndireotly, from thulr refusal to
'refer to a foreign power to determine whether
the policy of recognizing the Confederate
States as a belligerent power was or was not
suitable to the circumstances of the time when
the negotiation was made.'
"As rewards the so-called Alabama claims,
the only point which her Majesty's Govern
ment can consent to refer to -the decision of an
arbiter is the question of a moral responsibility
of ber Majesty's Government, on tne assump
tion that in actual state of war existed between
the Government of the United States ani the
Confederal States; and on thai assumption It
would be for the arbiter to determine whether
there had been any such failure on tne part of
tbe British Government as a neutral In the ob
servance, legally or morally, or any duties or
relations towards the Uovernmont of the United
Btales as could be deemed to involve a moral
responsibility on the part ot the British Gov
ernment to make good losses of American citi
zens caused by the Alabama and other vessels
. of tbe same clas.
"As regards the general claims, the question
of moral responsibility on the part of her Ma
jesty's Government does not and cannot come
Into dispute at all.
"Mr. Seward rightly supposes that ber Ma
jesty's Government contemplules two tribunals
for the adjudication, cue or the Alabama
claims, the other of trie general claims tue
one being. In tbe first Instance, at all events,
the tribunal of an arbiter, who would be called
upon to pronounce on the principles of the
moral responsibility of tbe Brush Government,
and on the nature of whose decision would
depend the question of the appointment of a
mixed commission for the examination In
detail of the several claims of citizens of the
United Stales to which that declslou applied
namely, those arising out of the depredatlous
Of tbe Alabama aud other similar vessels, and
tbe adjudication of tbe sums payable In ech
ease; tue other, in Its commencement and to
lis close, a purely mixed commission for the
examination of the general claims of the sub
Jecls and citizens of both countries arising out
of tne war, aud the adjudication of the sums
payable by either country In each case.
"Tbe distinction betwteu the two classes of
claims s clear, Tbe one may peyer come before
a mixed comiuUhiou. and therefore tnav not
require the assistance of an arhtler todeolde
dlrh-rences cf detail arising between the com
missioners the other, though originally
brought before a mixed comuiUnfon, may p vi

otherwise reconciled, aud for which, cs.se pro
vision would be made lu the ordinary way In
the convention for the set tleineul of the mixed
claims by the iuserll:u of articles In regard to
tbe selection of an arbiter,
"The functions of such an arbiter, as well as
an at biter for a like our pose lu tbe other mixed
commission, for which prov Ision would have
to be made to meet Utie contingency of the so
called Alabama claims coming eventually
under the cognlzanoe of a mixed commission,

COMMENTS Or THI LONDON DAILY HEWS.
The London Dally flw remarks that the
difficulty raised so gratuitously by Mr. Howard,
on Lord Stanley's accession to offioe, still
obstructs a teltlement. Lord Stanley cannot
accept tbe proposition to refer to any tribunal
the -policy of iier Majesty's Government, in
recognizing the Confederate Htates as a belli
gerent power. In any reference of the Alabama
claims to arbitration. It mnst be assumed that
au actual stale of war existed between the
Government of the United States and the Con
federate Htates. Tnat point being conceded, it
would be for the arbiter to determine whether
there had been any snoh failure on tbe part of
tbe British Government In its duties as a neu
tral, as could be deemed to Involve a moral
responsibility on the part of tbe British Gov
ernment to make good losses of American citi
zens caused by the Alabama and other vessels
of the same class. This Is the purport of Lord
Stanley's despatch.
Tbe Daily JVew expresses a hope that tbe
question between tbe two countries may be
settled before the Democrats the bitter ene
mies of Kngland come Into office at Washing
Ion. The Great Cyeloae In Bengal
A Calcutta telegram of November 9 says:
On tbe night of Friday, the 1st Instant, a
cyclone raged in Bengal, extending, according
to present information, from tbe Bay north
ward to Sera zum, westward to Mldnapore and
litirdwan, eastward to Burnsaul and Dacca.
The rice crons throughout the track visited
by the cyclone aro greatly lDjured. In many
places it Is estimated that not one-fourth will
be saved. Many buildings have been destroyed,
as also boats on tbe lniand rivers laden with
Jute and grain. Large quantities ol tbe growing
Jute have also been destroyed. Great damage
has been done at l'ort Canning.
A storm-wave nearly six feet high carried
away a portion of the river bank jetties; the
railway Is much Injured aud the station de
stroyed. At Calcutta the cyclone lasted nearly eight
hours. Jt is estimated that it has done more
damage to the city than the groat cyclone of
October, 1804. In the city suburbs more than
11)00 lives have been ascertained to have been
lost, and 4.'10,000 native huts destroyed.
Tugs and other vessels have been wrecked at
Snngor. Heverxl vessels are missing, and nu
merous ships ore returning disabled. More than
six hundred native boats bave been destroyed.
The stesm transport Euphrates has put la at
Calcutta to r fit, greatly Injured.
At Burdwan, much distress has been occa
sioned among tbe native population. The tele
graph line along the Ganges has been thrown
down. In Bengal, great distress is reported.
The Bengal Government Is actively encaged lu
taking measures for tbe relief of the sufferers;
the Board of Revenue is co operating with It.

funds.
The Commerce of Denmark.
COPENHAGEN A GAINER BY THE LATE WAR.
Some Interesting facts are furnished in a re
port by tbe British Vice-Consul at Copen
hagen, on the trade and navigation of Copen
hagen for the year I860. lie says:
"The number of ships of all nations that en
tered that port from foreign ports during the
yearlMJB was 4802, carrying 150,31)7 commercial
lasts of merchandise. On the olber band, 4718
ships, with 87,873 commercial lasts of cargo, lett
Copenhagen lor foreign parts during the same
j erkd. jn early 10,0.0 sailing bins of a collec
tive tonnage of upwards of 114,000 commercial
lasts, cleared in and out of thin port duilug the
year, engaged In tbe Inland trade. Steamers to
tbe number of 2200, with about 40,000 oomioer
cial itsts of merchandise, also cleared in and
cut, likewise engaged In the lniand tra te.
"The Danish meichant marine. In 18(10, con
sisted of 8lMt ships, ofa burden oi 80,139 commer
cial lasts, rne iraae Deiween ureal .Britain
and Copenhagen is larger man that of any
olber. The number of English vessels that en
tered (he port or Copennagen during the year
I860 was 709, ofa tonnage of 145,000, of whlc l the
greatest number arrived direct from Great
Britain. On the other hand, 142 ships, of UB.O JO
tout-, cleared from Copenhagen. Their cargoes
consisted or coals, sugar, aud general cargoes.
The provision trade with Great Britain was
formerly almost entirely monopolized by the
Altona and Hamburg bouses, hut sinco the
war it appears to have become localized In
Copenhagen,
"Since ine severance or me jjuomes rrom
Denmark, aud tbe interruption of the Intimate
commercial relations existing between the
latter and the great German marts of Altona
and Hamburg, the tendency of the Danish com
merce In general has been to centre in Copen
hagen, which is now the only place In the
kingdom offering those facilities, both looal
and financial, so necessary to the healthy de
velopment ot industrial enterprise la these
rei-pects, therefore, Copenhagen has been a de
cided vainer by the late war, and is rapidly in
creasing in Importance as a commercial empo
rium." Oxford, the Potboy.
After twenty-seven years of confinement In a
criminal lunatic asylum, during wblch his con
duct has been exemplary, ana no traces hve
appeared ot mental aberration, Oxford, tbe pot.

appeals bave been made In bis behalf by influ
ential persons who have bad tbe opportunity of

consistently from the first, that tbe pistol which

that no bullet was ever lound. He attributes

whole capable of smooth though limited mo

part of the problem which Lord Uosse had lo
solve. For by lar the most difficult part was
the casting aud polishing of tbe mirror itself
These four tons of tin and Conner, mlnilmi tn
definite proportions, had to be oast lulo the
shape of an exact paraboloid, and the whole
surlace raised afterwards lo a faultless polish.
Three huge Iron crucibles, In three separate
fui usees, held these vast masnes of fusing ui-UI,
which, after three hours' exposure lo the heal,
were lifted out by huge cranes, aud poured lulo
Hie earelully-prepareu mount.
"Tbe spectacle of Mial casting must have been

In his 'Vacations In Ireland' 'Hie skv orawdel
With stars seeuid to look down ftiisiilcloiixl v on
the work; below the fMrnas poured out liuae
rolumns of nearly mono chromatin yellow
flames, and the Ignited crucibles, during their
raage through tbe air, were fountains of red
Ighl, producing on the lowers of the castle such
accidents of color and shade as might almost
transport fancy to the realms of enchantment.'
And when the crucibles discharged their seeth
ing contents, 'for several minutes the metal
rolled in heavy waves like those of heating
quicksilver, and broke In a sort or fire on the
sides of tbe mould.'
This, however, was only the flrit process.
For sixteen weeks tbe moulded metal was left
In the annealing oven, and when it was with
drawn It had still to undergo the delicate and
hazardous operatlonsof grlndlugand polishing.
These were successfully efl'octed by a small
steam-enslne, Imitating, with the utmost
nicety, the light touch of tbe human hind the
only Instrument which had hitherto been
thought capable or ibis work. Not even yet,
however, had the speculum passed all Us dan
gers. The construction of tbe framework,
wblch was to support it, was a problem of no
small difficulty. The slightest strain or flexure
is sufficient to distort the Image ofa star. It
was necessary to support the speculum by a
pressure which shonia tell with exact equality
on every portion of Its surface. A most Inge
nious contrivance or a system or triangles, car.
rylng at their angles eighty-one brass balls
capable of revolving freely, supplies this want.
On these balls the speculum reposes, with an
absolute uniformity ot pressure, through the
changes of direction communicated to It by tne
universal Joint by which the whole vast appa
ratus Is connected Willi Its foundation In the
earth.
This Is a brief sketch of the many dimcmlttes
which bad to be overcome and tbe many prob
lems which had to be solved in the const ruction
of this great telescope. We have enumerated
them in order that due meed or fame may be
assigned to the genius, perseverance, industry,
and munificence wblch triumphed over all. All
this was done by Lord Kosse himself. The
powerful and delicate machinery required for
all these nice and difficult operations was con
ceived and matured in his brain. Tbe work
men who executed it were trained by bis care
and worked nnuer his own eye. Tbe whole
vast expanse was defrayed from his own re
sources." ANOTHER TENEMENT HOUSE H0I&

From the New York Papers of to-day.
Great disasters are, if not a consequenco, a
concomitant or modern clvlllz ttlon; but as
everything Is noticeable only by comparison, a
succession of astounding eveuts has so prep ired
us against surprise that matters of groit Import
frequently pass our observation unnoticed and
untbought of.
Occasionally, however, something happens so
sudden In Its nature and fearful In Us effects
that the most callous Imagination is appalled,
and tbe most hackneyed mind arrested in con
templation. Of such a nature was a disaster lu
Second avenue yesterday moruing. In a tene
ment house not differing from the ordinary
plan of bulldln? s of that character, the various
families occupying apartments there retired at
the usual hour, in the full vigor and strength
of health, many of them to wake no more, vo
doubt, fatigued from the recreation they tad
indulged iu the previous day, and looking for
ward to a week of toll, slumber visited them
without much wooing, and dulled their senses
to all outward perception.
The never-ceasing current of departing time
rolled lis Increasing moments Into hours, aud
midnight found the occupants of this dwelliug
wrapped in peaceful slumbers. Some three or
four young ladles, boarders, who had In the
tiue spirit of feminine coquetry adorned their
persons in the expectation of seeing, probably,
a preferred friend, extiloited even lu their un
consciousness slgnsot the taste wbloU baU been
exercised in their toilette. Ono o'clock struck,
but awaked no echo In tbe ears of those who
slept here; two o'clock passf d, but bad not long
registered its testimony of deparllngllme upou
the silence ot the night, before a cry rang out
sharp and ciearin ineeariy morning air, -nrei
Fire I" "Fire 1 Are 1" was repeated inside la
smothering accents, and forms were seen at the
windows In frantlo gesticulation, and fearful
tllorla visible on the pari of tbe Inmates to
escape from what seemed Inevitable doom.
JNO name was to ne seen, no spara, no sign oi
lire, but pouring from every o 'uit and crevice
and loophole dense volumes ' smoke broke
forth thick and menacing, . 3g harrowing
testimony to arriving witnesses of what was
being endured inside, la this house, and from
suflocntion.thus caused perished Mrs. O'Meara,
aged fifty; Eliza, aged nineteen; Mary Jane,
aged sixteen, and Catharine, aged thirteen, her
daughters; Hiiien murpuy, ugeu seventeen;
Mary, aged fourteen; aud Thomas, aged ten.
Besides these Cornelius O'Meara and Rosani
Murphy are now in hospital In a very critical
condition.
Mo. 606 second avenue, tue scene or this cala

first floor, bakery aud residence of Maximilian
Miller and wife. Secoud floor rear (front being
unoccupied), Jacob Campbell aud wife, with
two boaidets, Emma Eldrldge and Alice Dm vis.

wife, and two children. Fourth floor front,

IBS ORIGIN OF THE FIRS.
As near as can be ascertained the fire broke
out very soon after 2 o'clock In tbe morning,
wben all the inmates of the upper portion of
the house were wrapt in profound slumber.
At tbat time the attention of tbe police was
attracted to tbe vicinity by piercing shrieks,
and by cries of "Fire" and "Murder." The
alarm was sounded, and a number of the
Twenty-first precinct force hastened to tbe
corner of St con d avenue and Thirty-third
street. For some moments they were nnable
to ascertain the precise locality of tbe Are. the
glrong northwest wind which was prevailing
at the time keeping the smoke from issuing
into tbe street. At length tbe frlghtetied faces
and agonized voices of persons In the house
directed them to tbe fated No. 600.
Bursting in the hall door, an effort was made
to extricate the endangered. tenants ; -but the
stifling smoke rendered all attempts at en
trance futile until tbe Are engines had suc
ceeded In subduing the flames in the basement.
During this Interval the occupants ol tbe back
room behind the store, as well as several of tbe
tenants up stairs, succeeded iu making tbelr
way to the street. A portion of the police
force mounted to the roof of tbe adjoining
building, and bv means of rone extricated tbe
family in the frout room of the top floor by
bodily hoisting each person to the roor through
tbe windows. How far tbe loss of life might
have been lessened bad il not been fair an un-
lortunate accident at this time, is a matter of
surmUe. une or me occupants oi tne upper
story procured the ladder leading to the sky
light, and placed it In position for an exit upon
tbe roof. He had asceuded only a few steps
wben it broke In pieces beneath bis welghtaod
precipitated him to the floor. A subsequent
examination of the ladder showed that It was
u. most frail a Hair.
The wood forming the sides had been cut
bias to tbe grain, aud it is a wonder tnat it una
DOl nereioiore pioveu us wuco. who,
i hn wnluhi. of the ascending man had snapped
11 across in two places. It did not break. The
wood split, owing to the grain being at an acute
nr.ol lo the lenuth. An investigation of the
. basement showed tbe woodwork charred to
such an extent that one oi the gtruers naa
biokeu and fallen aslant to tbe floor. The fire,
however, was entirely confined to this portion
.fi tiiiliitinir- it did not even make its way
above the ground-floor, except In the vloloily
i. .iAiruii where it burned up the sur
rounding woodwork. In the front of the base
ment was tbe oven of the bakery ana in me
rear was boarded off a small apart merit used by
l lie journeyman of tbe bakery as a bedroom.
A (tfUft Itfltt. IH1A11 ed nut into the yard, and a
nsrrow stone stairway at the front, covered
with a wooden door, led lulo tue Btreeu
DKHCBIPTION Or THE PREMISES.
The noene of the fearful tragedy Is a four story
brick tenement house of what is known as the
secoud or third oIbhs. The grouud floor is a
lore, with sitting-room In the rear. Tbe upper
three stories are contrived for teuemeut occu
pancy, lo the front, on each floor, is a Utile
parlor, embracing two of the windows, with a
kltoLtu taking lu the Iblrd, aod two dark bed
rooms In the middle of the bouse, occupying
tbe rpaoe between the wall and I he hallway,
both openlug Into tbe parlor. The width of the
houss enabled this very comfortable division of
the space. The house Is twenty-five feet wide
by forty-flve In depth. The rear apartment are
contrived as counterparts of those in front, and
each comprise sitting-room, kitchen, and two
bed-rooms. The bouse Is substantially built,
and Is unobjectionable on this score.
THE BCENB INSIDE.
As the visitor mounted the dingy stairway
he had fearful evidence of the destructive
nature of the death-dealing heat and smoke
that had ascended from tbe burning haaemeut.
The yellow or greenish paint on the walls was
shrivelled And scorched, while In many plaoes
its color had been blistered to a different hue.
How so much heat could accompany tue all
penetrating smoke Is one of the m ml remarka
ble If not mysterious features or the disaster.
The Interior or tbe house, rrom what was appa
rent to the spectator, must have been as hot as
the furnace of a foundry. In the front room,
on the third story, evidences were plainly
visible of the unexpected calamity which had
so suddenly visited Its Inmates, The apart
ment was the comfortable home of a working
man and his family, who had retired calmly to
repose.
A little boy's sled was in the corner, while a
jaunty Jockey hat, with a red flower, and the
coll ana comb of l chignon, laid aside from a
female toilet, told how unlooked-for at the time
of retiring was the terrible vUltor death. Even
the morning's meal, ready for cooking, was set
apart on a tray. Tbe fearful fright and confu
sion whloh ensued wben tbe danger was dis
covered was too truly portrayed In ihesoittered
farments and general disorder of the room,
nto IbU cut de aa, wben tue alarmed Inmates
opened the door, rushed tbe dealh-laden sirocco
ot smoke, stilling in an Instant those who in
haled It, and blistering and discoloring the
paint on the woodwork, and even the varnish
on the furniture. Everything was Impregnated
with its pungent, creosote-like odor, and the
r-niell haunted the nostrils of the visitor long
alter he emerged Into the open air.
FINDING THE BODIES.
Immediately upon the arrival of the police
and firemen an effort was made to give succor
to the unfortunate people who It was known
were Inside or the building, captain Allaire,
of the Twenty-first I'recinct, who was early on
tbe ground, and Deputy Engineer W. W.
Rhodes, essayed to mount the stairs, but were
forced back by tbe volume or smoke whloh
filled the eutlre passage way. After much per
sistence, however, they finally succeeded, and,
having reached the third floor, a sad spectacle
was presented to their view. The three girls,
Eliza, Mary Jane, and Catharine O'Meara, were
on the floor in tbe last agonies of dissolution,
tbelr mother being quite dead, while their
father, Cornelius, was t-lruggling with the most
fearful muscular effort against suffocation. In
this connection a very touching circumstance
was observable.
The girls were, of course. In their night
clothing, but one of them still bore In the ar
rangement of her hair evidence of tbe feminine
instinct, which had probably on the previous
day Induced her to "frizz" or curl it, or other
wise dreRS it In anticipation of a visit from
some admirer, in no expectation of Us being
her last toilet. Having removed those bodies,
and sent ibem to the hospital, in hopeful desire
tbat some sparks of life might remain, the
police and firemen penetrated to the fourth
lloor, where, in the back room, they founa
three more dead, Ellen, Mary, aud Thomas
Murphy. The mother of these (Mrs. Rosanna
Murphy) was removed in an Insensible condi
tion, being almost suffocated, and is still in an
extremely critical slate, while their father,
Patrick Murphy, having escaped from the
but ding by lumping irotn tue winuow. was
likewise seriously mjureu.
THE ESCAPE OF THE SURVIVORS.
The circumstances under which some of the
inmates of the building escaped are truly re
markable, l'atrlck Murphy, who occupied the
fourth floor rear, out of the simple instinct of
self-preservation, jumped from tbe window, but
has no recollection of the manner of bis exit.
The Cunningham family the parents and four
children who occupied the fourth lloor front,
were rescued by Officers Corgao, Slatterly, and
Carroll, wno, passing a rope to mem, named
them through one of the windows on to the
roof. Officer Clarkson was instrumental in
rescuing the elrl Ellen Duffy. The third floor
rear was occuplod by Mr. and Mrs. Kelly and
two cniuireo. Airs, ivcuiy waa ratner Neriously
lnlured by jumping cut of the window. The
others escaped uninjured.
A FORTUNATE ACROBAT.
Butbv far the-most remarkable escape was
that of Jeremiah Murphy, aged thirteen years,
whose acrooatio uispiay iu euueavonng to
insure his own safety was worthy of a profes
sional. Finding his retreat cut off by the door,
and being entirely opposed to perishing from
suffocation, this little fellow, with a courage
most admirable, swung nimseii outot tne win
dow, and catching hold of the gutter running
along the edge ef tbe roof above, by sheer ex
ercise of muscle or wiU drew himself up lo a
place of safety,
THE CONDITION OP THE SURVIVORS.
Apart from the spectacle of tbe seven corpses,
which formed such a sad attraction at the
Morgue, nothing has more calculated to give
an Impression o. the Intense horror of this
disaster than a visit to the bedsides of the
various injured parlies in tbe hospital. Num
bers of tbe philanthropic of both sexes per
formed this work of mercy yesterday, while the
friends and relatives of the hurt hunted the
wards and passages In nnoontrollable anxiety
respecting their condition. In ward No. 23
Julia Kelly and Honora Murphy hovered on
the conflnesof tbatnnknown world from which
no messenger relurneth, so afflicted thai but
little aid to determine their status could be
sained even from tbe best medical skill. Mrs.
Kelly showed most signs of Improvement In
ber condition, being, although much reduced
and seemingly very weak. In an encouraging
state of convalescence.
Her companion in misfortune was, however.
In a most critical state, and exhibited but scant
signs of possible recovery. In ward No. 7 Cor.
nelius O'Meara struggled in almost death
throes. It was painful to watch the agony of a
man struck down tn his strength, gasping for
breath, panting and writhing with convulsive
energy to overcome the influence that had
prostrated him. It is extremely doubtful
whether he survives or not, Tbe others injured,
Patrick Murphy and Mary Ann Gorry, are
doing well, and are In a fair way of recovery.
THE ARRESTED PARTY.
The baker. Maximilian Miller, In whose pre
mises the fire originated, was seen. It is at.
leged, on the street, fully dressed, about the
time of tbe first alarm. The appearance of the
fire aud other circumstances iuduoed the Fire
Marshal to cause bis arrest, and he was appre
hended by Captain Allaire and lodged In the
eiatlou-hoNse. His wife, who rushed out Into
the Btreet lu time to escape tbe dangers ot the
smoke, was also arrested, bat was subsequently
discharged by tbe Coroner. Miller, however, Is
still held to await the result of the Coroner's
investigation. Mrs. Miller, who speaks Eng
lish imperfectly, says she was awakened by the
smoke, and called out to her husband several
times, but received no answer, and rushed out
Into tne street.
Miller bought out the previous proprietor In
Peptfmber last, and has since oarrled on the
businet-s, with the aid of a journeyman, uatll
last Saturday, when i he latter left his situation.
The baktbouse was not In operation on the
morning of the fire, wblch fact heightens ibe
my stery of Its origin. Miller was married about
four months aio, and, as stated above, entered
into business iu September. On being taken lo
the Station Rouse he was searched, when two
silver watches, about a hundred dollars in
ereenbacks. some letters, and a memorandum-
book were lound upon his person.
By direction of the Fire Marshal he was pre
vented from communicating with anybody, so
1 bat the public are for tbe present deprived of
his statement of what he may know concern
ing tbe orlglu of tbe fire. He bad an lnsurauoe
of (1600 upon bis stock aud furniture la the
Baltic Insurance Company, and his loss will
amount to about $200. The building Is owned
l y t nrl. a Hoffman, and Is Insured for $1000 In
the Eagle Insurance Company. It is damaged
to the extent of about $500. The loss lo the
tenants by damage to furniture will not exceed
rm.
Whether the Are was tbe work of an Inoen
dliiry remains a matter for the investigation of
the Fire Marshal. i

Washington, Doc, 17.
Tbe Clerical Advance of Salary.
Tbe subject of the 20 per cent, additional
compensation totheclerks In the Departments,
and its partial defeat yesterday. In tbe House,
excites a great deal of discussion to-darinall
circles, for not only the clerks, but many of
their creditors, are deeply Interested. Maay ol
I he clerks bitterly denounce General Grant for
withdrawing his letter of recommendation,
and If a vote were taken to-day, Grant stock in
the Departments would be found at a discount.
However much he loses in popularity, heoa
tbat account will be more than balanced by the
approval of the country tor his efforts in favor
of retrenchment. Having cut down expanses
heavily in the War Department, be could not
consistently rccomtneud the payment of a mil
lion and a half or dollars as a gratuity to clerics
who are now well paid fr Ave or six hours'
work dally. It is asserted, too, that his
withdrawal of his former letter, recom
mending the twenty per cent, lucre tie,
was Induced by the discovery that the Com
mittee from the clerks who waited on him lo
secure his recommendation, misrepresented or
misstated some important facts to induce him
to give the letter; but Grant, on finding be had
been Imposed upon, took the earliest opportu
nity to withdraw it. Theclerks bad based much
of their hopes of success on Grant's recom
mendation. The Whisky Convention.
Tbe sensational despatches from here tosome
Northern papers, representing that the distil
lers bave a fund of a quarter of mlltlou dollars
or more to corrupt Congress, the press, aud the
different Departments, are all moonshine, and
are believed to be instigated by parlies who
want to blackmail the distillers, to seoure their
silence. The firms represented last week in the
Convention here were among the most respect
able and wealthy of uny in the community.
They come from all parts of the oountry,
and resorted to no improper means to advance
their Interests; but after deliberating and
agreeing upon certain reforms which their ex
perience suggested would he beneficial for tbe
Government to adopt, they waited on the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue and sub
mitted tbelr views to the House Committee of
Ways and Means, who gave them a respectful
and patient hearing, as they would any other
Important Industrial Interest wblch might
claim protection at their bands.
The Case of Commodore Meade.
General Meade Is here trying to have his
brother. Commodore Meade, retained on the
active list in tbe navy. A short time since
Commodore Meade was before tbe Examining
r.oard, who recommended that he be placed on
the retired list. General Meade is understood
to have appealed to the President to have tba
action of the Board set aside, and his brother
continued on the active service list.

The vote in the House of Representatives
yesterday on the motion of General Butler to
suspend the rules in order that he might hve
an opportunity of offering his resolution In
favor of the payment of the bonds 1a green
backs, may bo considered a pretty fair test of
the opinioa of the House on that important
topic. It developed tbe (Act that eighty-three
members were opposed to and Qlty five iu favor
of the motion. The vote was not a political one,
each party being divided on the question. We
do not think tbat those in favor of the motion
were all In favor of the bill. Some of them
voted for it out of eourtesy to General Butler.
Of our Philadelphia delegation Judge Eelley
voted aye and Myers, Randall, O'Nell, and Tay
lor nay. It will be seen, by tbe compirative
strength, that tbe party in favor of this infringe
ment on the spirit of our national ceutract U
in a helpless minority. It is a matter of no
tmall dilliculty to determine as to what Is the
sentiment ot the House, on various Import
ant questions, by reason of the prevalence
of tbe previous quenion rule, which virtu
ally cuts off all debate. But judging from
the vote, we would opine tbat a large majority
oppose contraction and favor the payment of
the bonds in (told.

The N. Y. World this morning says:
"The Gold Room opened rather dull at the last qno
tatlon of Katurday, 13KI3IS,, and same sales were
subsequently made at XiiVia per cent., but by 11
o'clock the turn of the market was upward again, and
the afternoon sales were at 13 l(aViS, closing at laitj
per cent, at 8 o'clock. The short interest IB the Room
Is believed to be on the Increase, i be preponderating
opinion among the speculators being In the direc
tion of lower fiuores heiore trie New Year. The mag
nitude or the short sales, however, and tbe firmness
In the foreign Exchanges, have created in the last
