LOSS OF THE CAMBRIA.
Htatrment of the Only Nurvlvor.
The London Daily standard of October 2tf
publishes the statement of John MGartland, the
sole survivor of the steamer Cambria:
' I left Ireland twelve months since for Ame
rica. On the 8th inst. I sailed for the 'old coun
try,' on board the Cambria, from New York. I
was a steerage passenger. We had a good com
plement of passengers on board, but I cannot tell
the exact number. The weather was calm at
first, and we all expected a line voyage. At tho
end of the week, however on Friday or Satur
day, I don't remember which a high wind
arose, and the sea became troubled.
"The gale gradually increased, until on Wed
nesday it blew a perfect hurricane. The ship,
however, got along bravely, and I believe no
one had any doubt I at least had none as to
our reaching shore in perfect eafcty. ) Wed
nesday night the weather was very bud. The
wind blew furiously, and a heavy rain fell,
and what with the rain and the waves, which
broke over the gunwale, I could see nothing
outside the ship. I don't think any one could
see objects at even a short distance. I remained
on deck that night till about 11 o'clock; then I
went below. 1 had seated myself at my buuk,
thinking over old times and my near approach
to homo, when suddenly there was a horrid
crash, and I went spinning forward on my face
on the floor. I did not lose my senses, although
I was a good deal frightened, and getting to my
feet I hurried up on deck. Here I found pas
sengers running to and fro in great excitement,
but I cannot say there was much crying or shout
ing. I was myself much put about. I heard
the order given, 'Launch the boats,' but I can
not say whose voice it was; and I also heard
some one saying 'There's a mighty big hole in
the boat.'
"Our vessel, I now know, had struck the rock
at InnistraLull, bow on, but at that time I really
saw nothing beyond the boat itself the night
was so dark, and tnere was so much blinding
rain and spray. I did not see the light on Inuis
trahull. Some time before the wreck I saw two
lights, but I do not know the Irish coast, and I
cannot tell you where they were. As 1 have said,
the order was given to lower the boats. There
were seven small boats. I tbluk, on board, four of
which were lowered. One of them was in the
fore-part, the others in the oil-part, or cabin
end. I saw the three boats in tho cabin end in
course of being lowered, but I did not see then
in the water, and I know nothing whatever as
to their fate. When the boat in the steerage
end was lowered I got into it with others.
There was in all, to the best of my judgment,
ten or eleven of us, all steerage passengers, I
think, beside two seamen. No provisions were
taken on board; we were near shore. Our boat,
however, was scarcely launched when she cap
sized. When the boat lurched over I got hold
of it. but 1 cannot siiy what part of it; aud
when it righted again I managed to scramble in-
"l never saw a living soul alter mat. i aid
not hear a single cry when the boat keeled over,
and I never afterwards saw any of my com
panions. I was very much put about. I must
have grasped the boat quite mechanically, and
when I got into it again I don't know that I
could nave told where i was. l did not sea tne
Cambria go down. The waves carried my boat
quickly away from her. When 1 recovered
myself I noticed some one bine in the bottom
of the bout. I stooped down and found that it
was a young woman, lying face
downwards. She was dead. The body
was dressed in a blacK sun gown,
but I did not pay attention to anything eUt. I
believe she was a steerage passenger, bat Ida
not know her name. My reason for thinking
she was a steerage passenger is that, when ou
board the Cumbria, a boy whom I knew told me
that he knew a young woman that was going
to some rdace between Enniskillen and Irviues-
town. Idou't remember exactly where, aud
from what he said of her I believe that that was
the vonnc woman who was in mv boat.
"Well, I saw that nothing could be done for
her, poor thing; and, to tell the truth, l did not
feel able to do much for myself. The oars were
tied with small ropes to the boat, and I was not
equal to the exertion of recovering them; I just
let the boat drift aimlessly along. The wind
and the waves carried me along all morning with
my melancholy burden the poor thing at the
bottom of the boat. After daybreak the wind
moderated somewhat, and the rain took oil
slightly. The sea, however, continued to run
high; the waves lashed over my boat, and every
moment I expected her to go down. I had no
knowledge ot the coast, although I saw it not far
off, and 1 know no more than the dead where I
was or where I was drifting to. At 2! o'clock
that afternoon, after fourteen and a half hours'
drlftlnir helplessly la the 6torm, 1 was picked
up by the Enterprise, Captain Gillespie, in
Lough Foyle. I was almost insensible at the
time. A rope was was passed around my body
and I was drawn on deck. 1 was brought to
Londonderry, and have since been almost en
tirely eonnned to bed. 1 lost all my cioihes and
eleven guineas in money. Besides iuU a bro
ther of mine in America intrusted mi with
parcels of goods to friends at home, au.l these
have all teen lost.

to raise Blanco, but had no thought that any
very heavy rains bad fallen towards Its bead, or
that anything more than an ordinary fall rise
would be the result. Earl on Monday morning,
Blanco rose with frightful rapidity, sweeping
off fencea, drowning stock, uprooting and wash
ing away whole fields ot cotton, and, indeed,
carrying everything before it.
The damage done is immense and falls heavily
upon the sufferers. At far down aa we have
any report the lot U almost ruinous to many.
ThoEe who claim to know itate that the water
was eight feet higher than in the last tremendous
overflow.
We are now informed that four negroes,
instead of three, aa at first reported, were
drowned on Dr. Thompson's place. A Mexican
living on the farm next to Major Nance's Is also
supposed to have been drowned, as the house in
which he lived was swept away. From the
mouth of Blanco down everything has been
swept away cotton, corn, fodder, fences, mills,
and gin stands, etc. We hear that Mr. Moooey's
mill and factory are in ruins. Altogether this
flood is unprecedented.
This morning (Thursday) Mr. C. V. McGehee
and Mr. J. Pitts returned from Austin, bringing
the fiiet reliable news of the high waters in that
section that we have yet received. They report
that the Colorado was within four feet of the
height reached in the lost overflow, and that
much damage has again been done to the
farmers in the bottom lands. The pontoon
bridge is completely nsed up, the boats broken
and carried away. One negro was drowned at
Austin, and seventeen in llornsby's Bend, ten
miles below the town.
PHILADELPHIA "REPEATERS."
Tlirlr Arrival In New York-Arrest of a Ring
leader. A gang of three hundred Philadelphia "repeaters"
arrived in tills city yesterday morumg, nuiler the
leadership of Robert Lister (smith, John Aheru,
Michael Noodles, alias Doollng, aud the notorious
Alderman William McMulllu, all of whom are
political roughs of the worst kind. During
the day they were "coloniced" In various
parts of the Eighth ward, and duly prepared to ex
ercise their vocation to the best of their ability in
behalf of the Tammany nominees In general, and at
the dictation of Mike Norton in particular. The
United States autnoritlcx were aware of the pro
jected visit of this gang, and warrants for the appre
hension of the ringleaders were speedily issued bv
Commissioner Shields, and placed in the hauds of
the Marshal's officers.
Judge Ned Mc(iowai), who was expelled from
California by the Vigilance committee, is with the
gang, and Is stopping at the New England Hotel, on
the liowery.
Early last evening a squad of five deputy marshals,
with warrants for isinlth and Ahem, overtook and
stopped, at tne corner or uroaaway ana uona street,
a carriage in which Ahum, Smith, and McMullin
were riding in company with ex-Alderman John
Murray of this city. Smith was promptly seized,
but Aheru and McMuliin Jumped out and escaped.
Murray made a great ado, aud shrieked franti
cally lor the police to tike the deputy marshals to
the station-houRe, but the sagacious police in
spected the warrants, shook their heads sadly, and
declared they could do nothiup. while Smith, de
spite his reslstence, was speedily haudcuil'ed and
marched off to Ludlow street jail.

were on the train that brought the "repeaters"' from
Philadelphia, ami were obliged to jump on at tne
risk of their lives to escape the assaults of the

Among the arrivals from Philadelphia are the fol

The Hon. Samuel Joseph, member of the Pennsyl
vania Legislature; M. O. Hurley, B. Doyle, Frederick
Gerker, Frank Hagerty, .1.11. Ileauey, and J. W.
Kolleau. The object of their visit to this city is said
to be to "look after'' tho election, but whether to
participate in It, or merely for the purpose of ob

Monday last, October 31, was the time for the

o'clock, a gunboat w as descried in the distance.

and sent out from the gunboat in pursuit, but
w e believe the only captures made by the naval
heroes was one little boy and about a half-dozen
old decoys.
One of tne armed boats, commanded in person
by the brave Captain Copper, pursued onelparty
to the town wharf, where the pursued turned on
his would-be captors and, with resolute will,
showed them tne muzzle ot an ugly loosing

children were on tne streets ana lined tue

ADYEXTURE OF A MECHANIC.
He Online Himself In a Bank Vault.
The Louisiana Savings Bank is building a
large vault. Admission to it is gained through
large wrought-lron doers, to which are alilxed
patent locks. These locks were put in order
lately by a locksmith named Tympe. After
arranging tne fastenings on tne door he lit a
candle and proceeded inside tho vault to see
how they fitted. Closing tne door alter mm tue
eccentric catch of the lock fell, locking him In.
Those upon the outside could render him no
assistance, since it was a combination lock, and
no one knew the numbers at which it was set.
In this narrow cell, shut in by the four walls of
the vault and the huge Iron door, tue mau felt
as if he was buried alive. The only means by
which he could obtain air or drink was through
a small hole in the door, not the twentieth of
an inch in diameter. The atmosphere of the
cell-like place was fetid and noisome, and tne
man felt as if be would suffocate. Fortunately
he had carried with him into the vault a ham
mer and chisel, and with them, the only Instru
ments he had, he proceeded to cut his way out.
1 he work was slow and tedious, and required
two hours and a half of incessant labor. He
succeeded) at last, however, and was taken,
more dead than alive, from the vault. The
wonder is that he did not suffocate.
A PRINCELY CAREER.
A California Rothschild.
The Bank of California the great money
power of the Pacific coast paid dividends last
year amounting to (600,000. The cashier of
this bank is one of the most remarkable men in
California, possessing business qualities of the
highest order, united with a power of endur
ance and mental elasticity which enable him to
carry forward successfully and easily operations
which would appal persons of ordinary capa
city. Upon the opening of the Pacific Koad the
Bank of California appropriated a large sum for
the purpose of properly entertaining repre
sentative men from the East, and from that
time down to the present every public and pro
fessional personage visiting the Pacific coast
has partaken of the hospitality so liberally pro
vided. Mr. Kalston, the cashier, represents the
bank in these receptions, and none who have
fallen into his bauds will ever forget bis cour
teous attentions. Ills dinners at the Bank Club
1 louse are the pride of all Californians, while
hit country establishment, twenty miles out of
the city, with apartments for one buudred
guests, and hit stables, with a stud of forty
horses, are justly regarded at something mar
vellous. Mr. Kalston has just been re-elected to
the position which be bat to long held, and in
which be exertt a financial and political power
altogether unequalled by any man west of the
Kocky Mountains.

The Armistice Failure-Bismarck's Aeconnt.
London, Nov. 8. Bismarck has furnished the
following explanation of the rupture of negotia

The French Government havlug declared,
through Its representative, M. Thiers, its in
abi ity to accept the German offer of an armis
tice on the basis of the statu quo, the Count
proposed that the French name a time for hold
ing the elections for a Constituent Assembly.
The Germans promised that in such an event
absolute freedom of elections should be re
spected, even in the territory now occupied by
the Prussians. M. Thiers thereupon withdrew
to the outposts to consult Jules Favre and
General Trochu, but at length returned to Ver
sailles without the power to accept the German
offer.

messenger gagged, and $3100 taken. A special
train with police and horses was immediately
started from this point and arrived at the place
of the robbery a few hours later. A glove was
found on the spot with the name of "Carr

The London Daily JV'etcs (Oct. 24) Paris cor

as a fcesieeed city, is now in cood working trim,
and it must be admitted that its results are more
f atisfactory than a few weeks ago could have
been anticipated. Except when some impor-
tant event is taking place at the trout, there
are no crowds in the streets, and even the
groups which used to Impede circulation aro
now rare. The National Guards go in turn to
the ramparts, like clerks to their otllce. In the
morning the battalions are changed, and those
who come oft duty march to their respective
"quarters," and quietly disband. L'nlebS there
is some extraordinary movement, during the
rest of the day and is;ht there i little march

are. moderately full from 8 to 10 'clock, but
now that only half the number of street lamps
are lit they look gloomy even then at 105 1

later every ono has gone home. There are no
ouarrels and no drunkards. Robberies occa

not so insolently conspicuous as they were under

Taendsy. Kot. 8, 1870. f I
The weekly bank statement last night is a
comparatively favorable one, showing a mode
rate increase in resources. The deposits are
larger by 11537,500; specie by f 295,375, and loans
have expanded tl07,4(54. On the other hand
the legal-tenders have decreased :?',K),700. The
clearings have increased :i,553,H2S, but the ag
gregate business at the banks is still below the
average, as the falling off of the previous week
was nearly six millions. The balances have
improved $449,021). These figures, though
favorable, are not likely to affect the condition
of the maiket.
The nrrangement entered into yesterday by
the Philadelphia, Geruiantown, and Norrlstowu
Railroad ana the Heading Railroad Company,
by which the latter aeBumes control of the for
mer, guaranteeing a payment of 12 per ccut. on
stock to the amount of f 2,000,000, attracted
considerable atleution, and is regarded as very
favorable to the stockho ders of the first-named
company. The lease runs for 999 years, and is
practically a purchase on the part of the Read
ing Company. The Norristown Railroad stock
bae always stood high in tblt market, being at a
premium of t30 per share. The increase in
dividends from 10 to 12 per cent, per annum
guaranteed by tho new lease, together with an
allowance of 26 shares per 100 shares in addi
tion, is certainly not calculated to depreciate it
in the esteem of the investort. 12 per cent, is
a good dividend, and when secured is all the
more attractive.
At the Stock Board a large business was trans
acted, and prices were well maintained. Sales
of City 0s, new, at 102, and of Lehigh gold
loan at 89) for the 500s.
Rending Railroad was steady at 50a50 94,
without sales. Pennsylvania was taken at 59V,
Uhigh Valley at 59, and Oil Creek and Alle
gheny at 4tf(a46. Norrlstown Railroad stock,
owing to the lease to the Reading Company,
went up out of eight, none being offered for
sale; but 100 was bid, an advance of 20 since
yesterday. S8 was bid for Catawlssa preferred,
and 2 for Philadelphia and Erie.
In Canal shares the only sales were in Lehlirh
at 32.
Bank shares were in demand. Sales of Farm
ers' and Mechanics' at 120; Mechanics' at 31,
and Seventh National at 102.

'On 'Change to-day the wheat market was heavy
and dull. The cotton market was unsettled, open

"The news from Europe that the armistice ncgo

occasioned great excitement and a feverish market

" The money market was easy, with the bulk of
business at Ave per cent., although many of the
stock houses paid xix ter cent, without objection.
Among the government dealers the rates were four
