The monitor Onondaga, and her consort Ship,
the French frigate Thiimis, are still lying in the
upper bay
. at Stapleton, Staten Island, and from
, personal inquiries and observations they are
.likely to remain there for sonic time longer. The
monitor is in course of a thorough overhaul and
general repair, after the disaster which attended
her first essay to cross the Atlantic. The pumps
, are not in a condition for work; the boilers are
undergoing repairs; the pilot-house is to be re

It has been ascertained from what is considered
a reliable source that orders had been forwarded
to the officers for the removal of the monitor to

to Belgium—A. Rent Plan of Medical
Treatment.
PAnis. Aug. 2.—The Queen of the Belgians,
despite predictions to the contrary, had no difil
culty whatever in persuading the ex-Empress of
Mexico to leave Miramar.
The unfortunate Charlotte, who supported the
fatigue of the long Journey extremely well, is
now at the Chateau of Tervuren, within half
an hour's drive of BrusSels. Her brother, King
Leopold, went to meet his wife and her at the
station.
Dr. Buelkens, the eminent Belgian physician in
all cases of insanity, who has had extraordinary
success in his profession, expects to cure her.
His opinion is that a subtle poison was adminis
tered to her in. Mexico, and that the Vienna doc
tors have been treating her wrongly.
No VISITORS.—It is said that the Cumberland
lake district in England was never destitute of
visitors as this season. Many of hotels are
'quite empty, and of the class of tour sts who pay

'This is owing to the Paris Exhibition and the at-
Unctions of a continental trip.

Reception of Prominent Junre2 in the
Capital.
(From the New York Herald.)
City Or Mexico, July 16, 1867.—The Citizen.
President received yesterday on his entrance into
the capital of the Republic a grand ovation. By
that gate through which the Americans first made
their entry into the Halls of the. Montezumas,
twenty years ago, came the fugitive - to deposit
once more the principle of legality on the altars
of his native.country. The military, the civilians,
the leperos in force and the sexes, both fair and
unfair, crowded to do honor to the representative
of the nationality of Mexico. The fusee, or great
drive,along which the imperial train used to sweep;
where the Mexican aristocracy loved to plume
their feathers, or vied in display of loyalty to the
Emperor,whom they abandoned in his adversity;
where French military sported - their insolence
and mustaches, was filled by the republican sol
diers and exiles who chose four years before to
desert home and family rather than live under the
bayonets of the empire. The speeches of the mu
nicipal authorities and the answer of President
Juarez uttered in welcome and reply, were per
fumed with compliments and patriotism; but far
less tiresome than those strained compositions
generally are. Triumphal . arches spanned the
streets from the statue of Charles Fourth to the
outlet into the grand Plaza,- and as the guberna
torial coreSge moved slowly through the throng,
a Ehower of sonnets or bouquets rained froth
above and quenched the Presideptial smiles. At
the spot upon the great Plaza where a monu
ment was designed to be reared by the Empress
Carlota. was seated a provisional lady of plaster
of Paris, IN Ph the right hand extending a crown
of laurels, \ bile on the face of the pedestal
whereon r posed the hu g e limbs of this
figure of •ctory, beamed forth the words.
-To the t. ,izen President, Benito Juarez, on
the Triumpl. of the Republic. The State of Quere
taro." Fruit, this spot to the Palace the procession
moved on foot through a wide lane: formed by
the countrymen. black, white and gray, of the
- Indian Juarez, - who now entered the residence,
over which was waving a flag symbolical of the
"Empire and the Republic,' for the Mexican
eagle was painted as crushing in his talons the
imperial crown of Maximilian, and the "Na
tional Palace . ' inclosed once more within its
walls the President of the Republic. Save the
vivas which formed part of the programnie and
the peals of bells that &Owned the peevish
bursting of the rockets cracking and whizzing
around, the scene from its opening to its
close passed in decorous silence. The Mexicans
cannot - express in hurrahs their political emotions
or enthusiiisrusflee institutions have notassured
each man that lie will find in his neighbor in the
crowd au echo of his warm, spontaneous feelings;
or that sonic political enemy may not be noting
his conduct, to be cited against liim as a crime at
the next revolution or reverse of his party. The
presidirat, municipal authorities,general's . and
other dignitaries next partook of refreshments at:
the expense of the people, while they were enter
tained with the following ,roclarnatiou :
Benito Juarez ! Contaitattonal Freaulent to(' the
Mexican Republic.—MEXICANS: The national gov
ernment returns to-day to establish its residetice.
in the city of Mexico, which it left four years ago.
It bore With it the resolution of never abandon

in proportion to The conflict the nation had to
sustain. It went in the firm confidence that the
'CAC:in - people -Would struggle without cessa
tion against the Iniquitous foreign - Invasion In
defence of their rights and of their liberty: The
government leftin order to continue to uphold
the banner of the country as long as it might be
uecessary, until the triumph of the holy cause of
independence, and of the Institutions of the re
put eshould be,consummated,
The good sons of Mexice, battling akine,'Witti
out the assistance of any one, without resources
and without the necessary elements of war, have
obtained it. They have shed 'their.,blood with
sublime patriotism, and have been ready to make
every sacrifice rather than consent to the loss of
the republic and of liberty.
In the name of a grateful country I pay the
tribute of the highest acknowledgment to the
good Mexicans and worthy leaders, who have de
fended her, The triumph of their native hied,
which has been the object of their noble aspira
tions, will always be, their fairest title to glory
and the best reward of their heroic exertions
Filled with confidence in them, the government
strove to comply with its duties without conceiv
ing ever a single thought that it was lawfdl to im
pair any of the rights of the nation. The govern
ment has fulfilled the first of its duties by not con
tracting abroad or at home any engagement
which could wound the independence and sove
reignty of the republic, the integrity of its terri
tory or the respect due to the Constitution and
the laws. Its enemies attempted to establish
another goyerrr-lt : and other laws without
having been able to consummate their criminal
intent: After firer years the government returns
to the City of Mexico with the balm& of the-Con-
stitntion and with the same laws never having
ceased to exist one single instant within the na
tional territory.
The government has neither wished, nor should
it have allowed itself heretofore, and far less
ought it in the hour of the complete triumph of
the republic, to beinspired by any sentiment of
passion toward those who have fought against It.
Its duty has been, and yet is, to weigh the de
mends of justice against considerations due to
lenity. The moderation of its conduct, wherever
it has resided, has demonstrated its desire to.
temper; as far as possible, the rigor of justice, by
reconciling clemency with the stern duty of
leaving the \ Imre to act where they are indis
pensable to secure the peace and future prosperity
of the nation.
Let us now bend all our efforts to obtain and
consolidate the benefits of peace. Under its
auspices the laws and the authorities will be ell--
dent for the protection of the rights of all the
inhabitants of the republic. Let the people and
the government respect always the rights of all—
among indiViduals, as between nations, respect
for the rights of another is peace.
- Let us hope that all Mexicans, warned by a
lengthened'and painful experience of the calami
ties of war, may co-operate in future for the wel
fare and prosperity of the nation, which can only
he obtained by an invariable regard, for the laws
and by an obedience to the authorities chosen by
the people. •
Ender our free institutions the Mexican people
are the arbiters of their fate. With the sole pur
pose of sustaining the cause of the people during' .
the war, when they could not elect the executors
of their will, it was my duty, in conformity with
the spirit of the constitution, to retain the power
they had conferred upon me. The struggle -
ended, it becomes my duty to:convoke ilAnle
diately the people, in order that without the
pressure oft force and without illegal influences,
they may elect, at entire liberty, him' to whom
they shall choose to conede their destinies.
Mexicans: on seeing re? the second time con
summated the, independence of our native land,
we have obtained to-day the highest good which
we could desire. Let us co-opprato al, to be eu
abled to bequeath to our children the surest
course to prosperity, by lolling, and sustaining
always our independence and our liberty.

Belgian Official Visit to the . Emperor
in Prison—Danz/or of Travel lriim
i loYico City to Queretaro.-Feeling.of
the Monarch and Cruel Treatment of
His Captors... Threats of the Liberal
Generale to the Envoy.
The Minister of Fordo Affairs of Belgium has
received from M. Hoonckz, the Belgian Charge
d'Affaires In the City of Mexico, a report, dated
the 27th of June, which is published in the Brus
sels Monitevr, in the following terms :
Having been called to Queretaro by the unfor
tunate Prince, I was compelled to disguise
myself in order to get away from the City of
Mexico. %,
It took rub three days and three nights, a prey
to the most painful anxiety, to accomplish the
distance—sixty leagues to Queretaro; and on the
sth of June I was permitted to enter the prison
of the Capuchinas, where, in a cell sixteen feet
square, the Emperor lay stretched upon his
couch, under the eye of his guards. A dysentery
and a liver disease of a serious character had
prostrated him, and seemed to dispute with his
jailers the work of putting an end to a life so se
rene and calm in the midst of misfortune.
• .His Majesty received me with marks of the
fivellest satisfaction and . gratitude. During the
twenty days of his imprisonment not a friendly
soul had been able to come to him, when, at
length,
Baron de Magnus and myself, accom
panied by his two counsel, arrived. Baron de
Lago, Austrian Charge d'Affaires, and M. Curto
passi,,the Italian Minister, came soon after. The
representative of France was not able to get
away from Mexico, in spite of all his efforts, but
he charged M. Forest, French Consul at Mazat
lan, to repair to Queretaro, and to leave nothing
111:1(1011C that was humanly .possible to save the
Eniperor.
I will riot describe the emotion I felt at seeing
the tranquillity and resignation of his Majesty,
who conversed with us as be used to do in the
palace at Mexico. - Our first conversation lasted
''nearly two hours. " I have been betrayed, de
ceived and plundered," said the Emperor several'
times, in a tone of sadness, but without any feel
ing of reproach, "and at length I have been sold
for eleven reaux "—alluding to the treachery
which surrendered the town that his Majesty so
heroically defended for two months against 1.000
assailants. Then, with a smile, he repeated the
words of the chivalrous monarch: "All is lost
except honor." He spoke much, also, of Europe,
of his family, of the King and Queen of the Bel
_glans, and of the Count of Flandre. "I dare not
write to my mother and to the Empress," be said,
"for fear of causing pain to those two bings who
are so dear to rne, and who have never, given me
any; and then itwciuld be cruel to throw them
into perplexities ; -.my confessor, besides, has
written to prepare them."
During this conversation the Emperor fre
qnently - took my hand In his and expressed his
gratitude to me for coming to him. As- a super
fluous precaution his, guardians had that day
sent awry his physician and his aid-de.camp. • -
.-,-I offered to share his .captivity, if I-vomiter,.
nilited,in Order to attend - tOtina. -He thanked
me warmly. saying he had a half assurance that
his doctor would be sent back, and that I could be
more useful to him outside. I went daily for ten
days to the Capuchinas and at each visit passed
several hours with his Majesty. M. de Logo, M.
'Curtopassi and myself- went.in turn, in order.to.
alleviate the solitude of- the august prisoner. M.
de Magnus having received permission to go to
Sun Luis, where Juarez was, remained only three
days at queretaro, and M. Forest only - obtained
leave once from General Escobedo to visit the
Emperor, notwithstanding the desire of his Ma
jesty. .
All our remaining time was devoted •to efforts
to save the life of • the unfortunate Prince.
Couriers were sent off to all the Liberal generals
whom we supposed likely to listen to the voice
te e.
of humanit -evrelik‘epssed with the counsel the
line of ; .nce to be tai pted, while at San Luis,
two sik er advocates, o aments of the Liberal
party, D. Mariano Riva- alacios and D. Martinez
de lu Torre, were endeav; ring with M. de Magnus
to influence the supreme government.
M. Dano had given me a great number of letters
for persons belonging to the Liberal party, to
whom he had been useful during the intervention;
several of whom even owed him their lives.
In the painful position in which circumstances
placed the Minister of France he did everything
that lay in iris power to second our efforts.:. The
Eniperor, who learned this, charged me re
peatedly to thank M. Dane warmly in his name.
On the I.lth of June, a few hours before. the
sentence was pronounced, as MM. do Lago i. Cur
topassi, Forest and myself were proceeding to
the court, a colonel stopped us in the street and
took us to the general commanding in the State
of Queretaro, who informed us that we had two
hours to leave the town. The colonel gave us
our passports, observing that "if we took it into
our beads to return we should be shot.' No
reason was given ter sending us away, and we
.could only explain it by an excess of suspicion
and distrust on the part of the authorities. But
we were compelled to submit, and, with aching
hearts, to abandon to a cruel solitude the un
happy captive without even an opportunity of
bidding him a'last farewell.
On reaching the camp of General Porfirio Diaz,
we received a final note from the Emperor, an
nouncing the_death of the Empress (the report of
which was in fact spread about), expressing his
thanks. and at the same time his last wishes. - We
were . anxious, however, to attempt one more
effort with the leaders of thesarmy of the East to
get them to support a petition for mercy which
had been transmitted to San Luis by the counsel
of the Emperor. Memorials with that object had
already been addressed to Juarez; among others
one from the 'artisans of San Luis and one from
widows who had lost their husbands in the strug
gle against the empire.
" All was fruitless.
Assasslna,tion_of Lopez, the Betrayer
oN ItlaksiniilLain.
WAsmscroN, Aug. 13.—A letter gives the fol
lowing details of the assassination of Lopez, who
betrayed Maximilian
I arrived here to-day, and learned the startling
news of the assassination of the traitor, Lopez.
The particulars of the . assassination are as fol
lows: Lopez was staying at a hotel in Puebla,
where his wife spurned hint from her presence.
Early oue morning a Mexican arrived, and
familiarized himself with an ostler in a livery
stable adjoining the hotel. General Miguel
Lopez was inquired for, but not being in, the
stranger was told that the General would beat din
ner. efore the dinner hour Lopez returned,
and was painted out to the stranger, who made
special note of his man. When dinner was
called, Lopez and his assassin occupied opposite
seats at the table—after some minutes, during
which time the stranger called for and drank a
glass of wine, he deliberately rose, drew a con
cealed knife / and sprang upon Lopez, and stabbed
him nine times. The stranger then took his hat,
and as he started to leiVve, said: "This IS the way
all traitors should be pai .d " No one interfered
or prevented the assassin from leaving. Thus
was . the blood of. Maximilian, Miramon, Mojia,
yes! and thousands of others avenged.

Opinions of the Prototr
(From the Troy Whllo,l
This action on the part of the President'. will,
we predict, result In injury to himself and benefit
to the deposed Secretary. Mr. Johnson has been
hesitating, what course to pursue in the moner,
but now that he has thrown down the gauntlet in
BO decisive a manner, there can be no drawing
hack. The conflict must result in an utter rout
of one or the &her opposing parties; The pub
lie will not be taken by surprise at this new phase
of the difficulty—in fact, no - movement hy AD
drew Johnson surprises any one. We aregettingt•
used to his vagaries,and are content to leave himi
to work out his own destiny.
[From the Albany Evening Journal.]
The appointment of Gen. Grant is a Jacobin
trick, and marks the demagoguism of the whole
transaction. The General is an army officer, and;
as such, must obey the orders of his Commander
in-Chief. When directed to assume charge of the
Department, he could only escape compliance by
resignation. That he sought the nomination, none
who know him will believe. Bnt, in view of the
popular feeling,. it is possible that thiskevent may
prove disastrous in its results to hid' reputation.
Is it not probable that the President and his
ftlends have reckoned upon this, and that they
hope, by identifying the favorite General with a
condemned and decaying Administration, to
weaken his influence? This was hinted several
days ago; and the measures now taken certainly
seem to indicate the , programme then outlined.
How far this plot will be successful, depends
upon the General himself. As an acting member
of the Cabinet, he is not, bound to repress his
views or curb his action. Should Mr. Johnson
carry out his announced designs, by the remo
val of Sheridan, Holt, and other officers against
whom his enmity has been excited, Grint
will be at liberty to enter his protest, and insist
that the will of the people shall be respected by
the support of those who are faithfully represent
ing their interests. Failing to do this, he would
destroy himself. We have confidence in hisgood
judgment and his patriotism; but we are not with
out fears that in a position where he is so
peeuliarly subject alike to temptation and to mis
representation, he may suffer in some measure a
loss of that prestige which has heretofore attached
to his name.
(From the Albany Express.)
At last the President acts. It was time that in
self-respect he did. He. had threatened long
enough. The &Getty,
_indignant at his treachery,.
was coming to laugh at his Bob-Acres kind of
courage. To save himself from being the butt of
ridicule, it was necessary that he should become
the object of universal resentment. And that
bad eminence he has attained by suspending Sec
retary Stanton. He has wisely abstained from
undertaking to remove the Secretary, but he has
violated the spirit of the law, If not its letter, by
his present act, as much as he world have done
by removal; indeed, more so t for removal fre
quently implies nothing more than political dif
ferences, while suspension usually implies dere
liction, and dereliction certainly cannot bo al
leged against Mr. Stanton..
[From the Syraenao Staridardj
The BecretarV retires with dignity. But what
of Grant? Is his acceptance the long promised
avowal of Republican principles which we have
been looking tor? Is his presence in Johnson's
Cabinet. theherald of that devotion to radicalism
or which his especial friends make boast ? Is he
stivrplyAiithe Cablttet•to control Johnson, or wilt
Sebe controlled by - hinf?: His action - Way 1)e alr
right; altifongb we can hardly excuse it even on
the ground of obedience to orders, whigh may
be his reason of acceptance. We think he should
have taken the responsibility of disobeying an
Illegal order. We wait for his explanation,
whatever it may be.
(From The Bolden Poet
Stanton's conduct has been inconsistent, de
ceptive, vindictive, and deeply injurious to the
public welfare. His boorishness has passed for
candor, his intrigue for fidelity, and his selfishness
for patriotism. His illegal and arbitrary acts will
rise in dread array before him, and the fear of re
sponsibility for unauthorized and unjustifiable
deeds of oppression and tyranny will make
him tremble in every nerve of the body.
The appointment of General Grant to
the War Office must be gratifying
to Congress, as they placed in his hands the es
sential power of carrying into effect the Recon
struction laws, while it cannot fail to be equally
pleasing to the Radicals, who expressed great
satisfaction that his authority was made superior
to the President's will. We have no doubt the
General will discharge his additional duties wisely
and faithfully, and the country have reason to
rejoice that the War Department has an honest
soldier at its desk instead of a political change

[Front the Hartford Courant.) - -
Andrei/ Johnson rushes on to his fate! 4 - e,
yesterday consummated the outrage of remtivJ
ing the Secretary of War in direct violation of
the law. There is little doubt that the House of
Representatives will consider this deed a sufficient
cause for impeachment, and will act accordingly.
The fact that so popular a man as Gen. Grant is
called upon to assume temporarily the duties
of the office will neither blind the eyes of Con
vess nor soften the verdict tof public opinion.
The post will be given in the cud to some favorite
of the President, who will use the whole power
of the Department to thwart the will of the law
making body in the matter of reconstruction.
This is too plainly the ultimate object of the
bold and illegal step which the Executive has
taken, the consequence of which cannot but
recoil on himself. By the removal of Secretary
Stanton he has placed a weapon' In the hands
of his enemies'which they will not:.fall..to use,
and has done more to , `strengthen the growing
sentiment in favor of his deposition than the
speeches of the most ultra radicals could ever
have effected. If this measure be followed up by
any interference with the action of the military
commanders at the South, the President will
only make his final falimore sure. The recon
struction of the South on the basis of political
equality and national justice will be accom
plished, even if - a thousand Andrew Johnsons
Lave to be put out of the way.
[From the National Intelligence]...]
That Stanton should yield to "force" before it
is manually applied, as his reply to the Presi
dent's order shows he did,is not inconsistent with
his well-known boisterous, but nerveless craven
ness; but is inconsistent with the desperate te
nacity of hisliold upon the office, which was t
sole dignity left to hlWdishonored name. It was
confidently predicted that when the hour of his
disgrace should come, he would be found clinging
to the door-posts of the War Department building
with anvenergy proportioned to his horror of the
open street without a military guard, and that
his poor fingers, white with the. pinch of des
perationt would have to be unclutched by the
pollee. His friends will rejoice that his excessive
affright impelled him to go without downright
physical expulsion. •

THE INDIAN WAR.
Additional Particulars of Itlassacroat
Plum Creek—The Dead • &flat to
Omaha.
[From to•days N. V. Tribune.]
Nonni PLATTE L Neb., Aug. 9.—The dead bodies
of the engineer, Brooks Brown, and the fireman,
George Renshaw, were sent to Omaha to-diy.
So far these are the only bodies found. The two
brakesmen, Fred Lewis and F. L. Parker, escaped,
and started. for. Omaha on the same train that
conveyed the dead bodies. William Thompson,
a native of England, was also sent on the
cars, having escaped death In the most
miraculous manner. He was employed by the
railroad company as a section hand at Plum ,
Creek,' and had, as previously
I reported been
sent to repair the telegraph line whereT was
enti4ogether with five others, all employed , in
the a etne rapacity with. Thompson. Upon , ar.
?diving at, the break In the -eelegraph, they were
surprised'at finding ties laid upon the trbelt..
They immediately set to work to remove them,
before the arrival of the freight-train due from.
the east. They had barely commenced working,
having previously, laid down their arms, when.
the Indians, who were in ambush, sprang ti 9
and attacked them.. As it was dark; they had'
but a slight Idea of thenumber of the enemy. The:
Indiana uttered.the most unearthly yells, . and
fired n shower . of arrows- and bullets on
the white men. The men separated, flying In
all directions. Thompson was followed in the
darkness by a powerful Indian mounted on a
pony, who, when within about ten feet, shot him,
wounding him in the right arm, the ball passing
through the fieshy part, neat- the shoulder, slant
ing downward towards the elbow. This Indian
then clubbed his rifle upon Thompson, seeing his
victim still running, and knocked him down.
He then dismounted and scalped him. He
states that though the operation was extremely
painful, he knew if he cried out the Indian
would complete what ,he had but im
perfectly done. ''f k hree of the men
sought refuge at Willow Island Station,
having made t '
heir escape in the darkness and.
two were killed, it seems, as nothing has been
heard from them since. Thompson, in the mean
while, laid perfectly still. He could hear the In
dians moving about, and placing more obstruc
tions on the track. The train was heard ap
proaching., at last, by a low, rumbling sound.
By turning his head slowly around toward it he
perceived the head-light. " Had the Indians, not
been present, he might have been able to Warn
them off, but they were so thick around, and so
Close to him, that he could not have made one
movement without being detected, which would
undoubtedly have sealed his fate, without bene
fiting: the train rushing to its destruction.
Nearer and nearer sounded the loud thunder of
the iron -horse, faster and faster the heart of the
unwilling witness throbbed; his own excruciating
sufferings were forgotten as the crisis ap
proached. A loud crash, a rattling, jarring
sound, as the ears were precipitated pell-mell on
each other, an infernal chorus of yells from all
sides, a few agonizing, piercing cries, and the
murderous deed was+ done.
As soon as every man found on the train had
been despatched, the Indians' commenced break
ing open the doors of the can with their toma
hawks. They then threw out boxes of drygoods„
consisting of fancy silk and wersted shavrls,
Laces, calicoes, linen domestics,• paper-collars,
boots and shoes, blankets, hats, and one box of
assorted ribbons. This. last seemed to take their
fancy.greatly, as they decorated themselves with
long pietes of-various , colors. -As-they galloped--
along they streamed behind, causing them
to Took like May-Day mountebanks. The
ponies were also decorated in every conceivable
manner. Bundles of blankets were taken to the
river bank. Kegs of whisky were taken out,
and bungs knocked In, and, copious draughts, of
the fire-water were drank in honor of the victory
'over the pale-faces and the "heap, heap wagon.'
Toward morning the Indians set lire to the
wreck, throwing fire from the furnace Inside the
box-cars among the furniture. While their at- ,
tention was drawn toward the fire, Thompson
crawled away, and came across his scalp which
the Indian had carelessly dropped. With this
scalp in his hand be arrived at Willow Island Stu
lion exhausted from loss of blood. When the
soldiers sent by Gen. Augur from Lone Tree Sta
tion arrived at Plum Creek Thompson managed
to send word that he was dive. H© presented a
most horrible sight, the whole of the scalp cov
ering the top of the head being torn away. The
bone bf the skull was-exposed to view, present
ing a surface nine inches in length and five in
width,•extending from within one inch of the
eyebrows to the occiput. The scalp was put in a
pall of fresh water, and was sent with the man to
Omaha, where the physicians will endeavor to
sew it on. It is possible that, aided by a strong
constitution, he may soon recover his former
health and strength. _
Tt themselves
on the truck tiniier th'e care; and while the In
dians were engaged at the foremost end of the
train scalping the engineer and firemen, they ran
with the conductor toward the train corning up.
The other facts are as before reported.
JAVA.
The Terrible Earthquake la tJu3
WE/Md.
[From the Pall Mall Gazette.]
We have received the Java papers of the 11th
June, giving full particulars of a dreadful earth
quake which occurred in the island on the•Mth.
It was very- destructive in the Districts
of Cheribon, Pekalongan, Banjoemas, Ba
gelen, Sumarang, Djoltjdokarta and Bourn,
kartu. The greater part of the indigo and sugar
manufactories, private houses and military
establishments arc destroyed at Djokjdo, but in
other districts the damage was not so , exten
sive. The losses, however are incalculable.
The sugar crop, which had' just been brought
into the barns, is totally lost. A large number
of Europeans and natives perished—the report
says as many as three hundred. It was feared
also that other parts of Java might be visited by
earthquakes; even at Batavia shocks. were felt on
the day the mail started. The accounts of the
rinderpest in Java are most distressing. In some
districts the whole stock of buffaloes had died
out, and great destitution and misery prevail; in
deed, the general effect of the news brought by
this mull is very painful.
A MARVELLOUS TROTTER LL Paaus..—Gentlemen
who havp recently returned from Paris bring
bring
news of a capital trotting-stallion, bred in France,
and which is as groat a wonder as a natural trotter
as ever was seen anywhere. The horse is brown,
fifteen and a half hands high, and with one hip
down. He is very nearly thorough-bred, and has
a very long pedigree. He belongs to a wealthy
nobleman. We have it from a capital horseman
who saw him trot in the vicinity of Paris, that
his speed is very great, and that he is the best
breaker he has ever seen. The gentleman in
question, with a friend, also an American, mea
sured the ground the horse had trotted over, and
found that his raw was 2.23. It was rough going,
he was in a low-wheeled vehicle with very long
shafts, and his driver was an artlliery soldier. He
added that irlOo,ooo in gold had been offered for
him by Mr. Howe, the • sewing -machinist, but
money would not buy him. Taking these state
ments to be correct, and we have no reason to
suppose they are, unfounded, he -is a horse that
unght, on otalcvci tracks, In one of our sulkies,
and before one of our profeeelonal drivers, well
contest the palm with Dexter himself.
