FIRE AT SUA.
Pnrtlenlnr of tbe llnrnlnjf of the Ntenm
aliip Mollta ltcHcueol the Crew.
The K. Htrald of this morning recounts the
following:
A lew days since we published a brief account
of the bnrning of the s .i amship Melita, Captain
James Sumner, of Liverpool, on tbe 6th inst.,
while on the passage from Boston to that port.
By the 6 hip .Jacob A. S amler, Cantain Georse
Sampson, which arrived here yesterday, thirty
nine days it om Hivro, having on board the
caotain, second and third officers, surneoo, chief
and second assUtant engineers, steward, and
flti -lour of the passengers ot the ill fated toupI.
we have full paiticulars ot the disaster and full
assursnce of t be satnty of all who were involved.
Tbe steamship Melita left the port of Boston,
on August 27, under as fair auspices as ever
vessel went to sea. with an aegregate of 108
souls on board. Without toretnougbt of disaster
or prescience of ill tate in tbe minds of crew or
passengers, she proceed! d on her voyage, and at
two o'clock on the morning of the 6th instant
had reached latitude 48 eg. 61 min. uon a,
longitade 29 dor. 20 inin. west. At this time,
and while boutmg steadily along over the great
wuste ot water stretchiog to the horizon on
every side, a large part of the ere and most of
tbe passengers being wrupped in undis
turbed slumber, the cry of "Fire!" was
raised.
The fire gained head tray, and daylight broke
upon a doomed vessel aud llluminatsd the spec
tscle ot de.-peiate men vainly struggling against
a terrible late menacing them beyond ail hope of
escape. Motwithstatidiug the apparent helpless
ness of battling aeainstwbat seemed inevitable
destruction, tbe fight was bravely maintained
through tbe first boors of the new-bora day;
every glai.ee being anxiously, ever and anon,
turned towards the horizon on either side In the
anxloas hope ot descrjiug some friendly sail,
drawn to tbair relief by tbe column ot smote
wLich bore testimony for miles of their despe
rate strait. As may naturally be supposed, the
gnatest alarm and consternation prevailed
araoDg tbe female passengers aud children, and
cries and shrieks ot auony mtugled witu tbe
crackling of the fierce flames, increasing the
gentral distress.
At about half-psst eight o'clock a sail hove in
sight. At its fust appearance tbe joy exhibited
by tbe struggling uniortunV.es was beyond de
scription, but was soon changed to a terrible
dread, and faces blaucocd again at the thongbt
that perhaps no r otice would be taken of their
situation. This fear, however, was dissipated,
and feeling of thanktulaess aud gratitude
too stieng for demonstrative utterance
took possession of all when It became
appa-ent that they bad been perceived
Had that the sail was bearing down en them.
Tbe v ssel proved to be tbe American ship Jacob
A. Stsm'er, Captala Geo.-ge Sampson, from
Hat re, bound to New fork, and in response to
a signal from Captain Sumner lav to for their
relief. All hope of saving the Melita had long
since been given up; but to stay tbe progress ot
the flames until tucti time as the passengers
mostly women and children and crew could
be got off called tor every exertion. No time
was had to save auytbiLc: indeed, the passen
gers, being wt'h ene exception In the steerage,
bad before this lost their all; bat boats being
speedily got out from coth vessels the wort
of transferring the women aad children
commenced, tbema'e passeneers aad crew fol
low sg.trjeothcersibwdrn igthe burning vessel
in ths iht extremitv. Tweuty bours were oc
cupied in t iis work, and at 4 o'clock A. M. on
September 6, both voxels drifted somewhat, in
iHtnude 49 deg. 4 mn. north, l mcltade 23 deg.
30 min. west, the Stamlcr cot under way a?a'u,
lighted on her course by the glare ot the burn
ing stramer, now complotely wrapped in flames,
wbich folded her ie a fierce embrace as thouh
tilami hlng in a savase glee, having won undis
turbed povesslon of belr prey. The next
niornii'g she bad entirely disappeared.

FINANCIAL ITEMS.
The New York THoune ot this morning says:-
"Money continues easy at ts percent. Govern
ment brokers continue to have large ealaunea left
with them at S(j.4 per cent. Capitalists decline
making any time engasementa, and a general leellng
ol distrust Is observed lrom tbe fear tbat tbe demand
from the country banks for greenbacks to make up
their quarterly statement on tne 6th of October may
be followed by a locking up of money in the Interest
ot operators lor a decdne In stocks. Tbe rigbt of the
owners of money to draw It from bank and bold It, no
one disputes; but tbat banklog Inst nations, holding
their charters from the National or State Gov
ernment, should allow speculators to borrow tbe
money of tbelr depositors on certified cheolcs, or by
paylna tbe Interest apon It and allewlng It to He Idle
in their vaults, tuns crippling all legitimate business
as well as depreciating tbe products of tbe whole
country, Is beyond the com prehension of straightfor

of tbe leading banks on tbe street to loanalargt
amount upon certified checks, but the applicant was
coolly directed to the door. Before the close ot bank
heurs tbe rate ' money declined to 4 per cent., with
large balances offering oa miscellaneous securltlea,"
The N. Y. Tlmtt this morning says:
"The Foreign Exchanges, owing o thescarc'ty of

an authenticated copy ot the lesolution under
which ihrv are acting, will wait 1U arrival br
mail belore otliciaily vlbitinir the President.
Governor Hmlth is with tbe party, by request of
tbe Legislature, to advise and support the dele
gation. Ue has no oflicial lutctlons to perlorm
here in connection wita tbe application for
troops, lie is of the opinion, however, that
the action of the Legislature, ihougn unusual in
its lorm, meets tbe reqtilrenienAit tbe (Joustitu
tion In the matter ot securing Federal aid
for Alabama. He does not fully sympathize
with ihe Legislature in its call for additional
troops, aid expresses ronddence iu his ovu
ability, by civil machinery, tj maintain tbe
peae of tbe State. Tue people desire peace,
and he has tbe asrurauce from men ot bom oar
ties of support in bis efforts to that end. There
is some disorder ou the line of the Tennessee
river and north of alobiio, bat eUc where
throughout tbe Male there are no indications of
disturbances and Tio disposition to resist tbe law,
and in no other poitionof th Stale has any
officer wbo has been regulitlj installed in oftiue
brvn resisted in the periormance ot his duties.
Tbe Governor is apprehensive that during the
excitement of the coming election the oppor
ing parties may commit acts whch will lead to
seiious disturbances, unless restrained by some
assurance from tbe President tbat they will be
promptly put down by Federal authority. Be
yond tb's a-siiraoce Governor Smltb is inclined
to think no Federal interlercnce is necessary at

Appointed Minister of the Iuturior.
By Atlantic Oable.
Floeence, Sept. 26. There hnve been some
charges in tue Ministry. M. Oantellt has been
appointed Minister ot tbe Interior, aud 11
i'asivi Minister ot Public Works. Ibis approach
to a reconstllution of tbe Cabinet is preparatory
to tbe issue of thejloau based on tbe tobacco
bonds. It tends towards a orabinttion
betwren the members of the Eight and those of
the tun-parii.
M. Cadeina resigned the portfolio of the
Interior, aisign)nr ill-health as the cause; but
be really quits office bcaus bis old political
friends, MM. La Marmor.i, Lnnza, Brtgnone,
Sella, in fact all the Pledmontese, voted against
him in the late discusi-ioa on the Tobacco bill.
M. Cant el 11, who replaces Ca lorna, b-longs to
Central Italy. He is modest, active, and
esteemed, and never had any other po l.ical
bias tban his constancy in agreeing with the
majority.
M. Mordioi la said to have accepted the De
partment of Agriculture and Commerce, which
the retiring Minister held ad inUrim. Tbe new
member of tbe Cabinet was formerly the soul of
tie Left, the triend of Garibaldi and Pro-DicU-tor
in Sicily. He had altuost retired from
politics. After havlnc, in company with II.
Despretis, constituted in tbe past sejsion a sort
ot hybrid tiers-partt, he passed over to the
Ministerial camp, sayinir, 1 have oonadence in
tbe Government." Those tew words placed a
portfol o at h's feet. M. Mord'ni conspired In
1848. 18G9, and 18G2, and now has a seat in the
Cabinet
