The arrival of the America has been looked for long and anxiously, by the relatives and friends of those who look, passage On the Hioernla. Tho _ &m c r 'ca ar rived ofif tbo Highlands on Friday, but on account of tho severe north-west gale shajVaa unable to reach tho city. On Saturday morning the Wind moderated coesiderably, and Henderson x, Bro.. the owners of the steamer Hlbarnia.sent th£ tug Birbeck down to the Amorlca, to bring tho passengers to tho city, In order that they miabt take passage on the steamer America, which was about to leave for Glasgow. On reaching the Amerlca.lt was ascertained from her captain that the report of the rescue of somo of the Hibernia's passengers was unfounded. It wob fonnd that the steamship Hibernia and the ship Hibernia, both crossing the Atlantic about the same time, and going in tho same direction, bad been lost, and the passon gera that had been rescued were the officers and crews of the ship Hibernia and the ship Cnthbcrt, both-front'Quebec, the former being bound for Liverpool and _the_lattgr_for_ Queenstown. The l Hibernia'became waterlogged on tbe29ih of November, at which time her crew wore rescued by the CulhberL One month after ward the Cnthbert wad wrecked, and tho America rescued the crews of both vessels and landed them at the Azores Islands on the 2d of January last The Cntbbert’s officers were Captain Aald; First Mate,' Ur.

Their names were John Murray and McCor mick, The captain Of tho Hibernia la named ■Williams; Mr. ‘Langley Is first mate and Mr. Mar ch second mate. Capt. Koper, of the America, reports that yos tcrday;was the seventy-fifth from Bremen, that on ithojSOth of December he saw a signal ofdis tMss. aiid bearing down npon It came to a vessel called the Cutbbert, which ho fonnd to be water logged. He 6enl his boats to her relief and took off thirty-nine men, whom he fonnd composed the crews, not only of tho-Cuthbert, bnt also of a ship called tho Hibernia, both belog from Quebec, the former having started for Liverpool, tho latter for Queenstown. He then Bleared for the . Asorts, and reaebtd that land on the 2d of Jannarv, where he stopped twenty-four hours to land’these men and undergo a little repairing. He experienced very heavy weather nearly all the time he had bei n out, the wind being from the north nnd northwest. On tho 28th of De cember he saw a ship's bottom up. She appeared to be new, and was about. 120 feet long. He coaid not make out her name. One of the crew of the Cutbbert,ratbor than go on shore at the Azores, concluded to come on to the Slates, and Captain Koper gave him passage.

The following contains some details of tho re cent railroad accident in addition to those fur nished In our telegraphic despatches : Friday momtDg, about 10 o’clock, a train on the Lackawanna and Bloomsburg Railroad met with an accident, by which the last car was thrown down an embankment ten feet high, at Beech Haven. The train had been on a switch to allow some coal trains to pass, and had nearly pnlled ont from the switch, moving very slowly, when, in some way, the hind tracks were thrown off, and the car turned over, breaking loose from the rqst of the iralD, and made a complete revolution sidewise, landing again on the wheels. There wore seven passengers in the car, ail of whom were more or less Injured. The Hon. Galnsha A. Grow, who ■was returning from tho meeting of the Stato Cen tral Committee at Harrisburg, was sitting by the stove at the time, with one boot off, warming his feet. The stove door being open the coal tumbled out, and over him, and the stove broke from its fastenings. Part of the time Mr. Grow was on top, and sometimes onder the stove. The gen tleman's clothes were badly burned, but he mar velously escaped serious Injury, receiving only several slight burns and contusions, aDd losing his boot and hat. Mr. L. A. Tyler, of Montrose, bad a slight ent ou his head and was bruised on one knee. Mr. Costello, of Shickshlnny, had bis face burned and his back braised. “Bob" Butler, of Binghampton; J. Un derhill, of Kingston, Superintendent of track; a boilermaker from Kingston, aDd tho wife of an emplojd of the road, were all slightly bruised The car took fire, bnt it was soon extinguished with palls of water-from the engine of the train and from another eDgine at hand. Mr. Grow and Mr. Tyler came to this city and took quar ters at the Lackawanna Valley Honse, where Mr. Grow was visited by a number of onr prominent citizens. He took the afternoon train for his home at Glendale. Nothing bnt the slow mov ing of the train prevented a much more disas trous affair. —Scranton (Penna.) Republican. HBBTBIirTIVB FIBE IN NEW YORK. . Loss Over 8150,000. Tho New York Tribune of this morning says About 6.30 o’clock on Saturday morning a Ore occurred on tbe third floor of tbe three-story building No. 16 Mulberry street, occupied and owned by John Steinmelz as a picture-frame manufactory. Tbe flames ran rapidly through the building, and soon communicated with the all-story building No. 18, occupied by B. W. Merrlam & Co., manufacturers of picture-frames and cabinet articles. De spite the utmost exertions of the Fire De partment, both thCße buildings with their con tents were entirely destroyed. The massive walls of No. 18, falling outward, partially crushed No. 14, a tenement house, occupied by eight poor families, whose effects were badly damaged. They bad succeeded In removing a portion before tho wall fell. The loss of Mr. Bleinmetz on buildings, machinery andstock amounts to about $50,000. He la insured tor but $6,000. The loss ot Messrs. Merrlam & Co. on stock ai d machinery Is from $55,000 to $60,000; partially Insured. Mr. Merriam refused to give the amount of his Insurance to the Fire Marshal, declaring that he knew of no law that would compel him to mako known his private business. The building was owned by Mr. William Phelps. It was valued at $30,000, and Inßnred for slu,ooo. Tbe losses of'the poor tenants of No. 14 range from $3OO to $BOO each. None of them are Insured, and In some cases all their worldly possessions were consumed,leaving them destitute and homeless. Borne of the ad joining buildings were somewhat damaged by water. But lor tho active exertions of Chief- Engineer Klcgsland, and tbe Fire Department under him, the damego would have been very much greater, and It was only by the most Inces sant watchfulness that the adjoining buildings were saved. Taxation in Euglaml, The London correspondent of the N. Y. Times furnishes tbe following very interesting infor mation : The taxei (except local and poor rates') for tho United Kingdom amounted lam year to £83,709 - OUO—s4lB,6oo,ooo— gold. Of Ibis sum, propei ly and Income paid. $17,671,000; semi-necessaries, as ten, coffee, &c.—what Mr. Bright calls the breakfast table, and which he proposes to set free—with certain matters ol pomp and circum stance, armorial bearings, servants, equipages, plate, &c.. paid £9,470 000; drink and topacco, £29,120,000. The single vice of drunken ness pajß u lax of £10,000.000; and this over and above a moderate allowance of liquors. This tax paid by drunkards costs.—who shall say how much in Idleness, pauperism and crime ? These tuxes fall heavily upon those least able lobear them, oven the tempurue and care ful. A muu with un Income of £lO,OOO a year pays In taxes £960; a mao with £5OO a year,£s2; a workman who gets but £7O a year pays £5 taxes—even if heabstaiu trutn liquors and to bacco* These, however, uro nut approx imations to tho truth. Tho burden upon men differs greatly ; money pays a pretty even percentage. The real ulffereoca is between the respective burdens of men and Women who never do un hour’s useful work in their lives, living In every comfort and luxury and those whoseJwholc lives ore one scene of toll and privation. What are wo to say, for examplu, n a country where a certain number of persons die every:weekfof starvatlon-where thousand perishtof want hpd. misery— of a fact like .this,?; ; “Tbe silver plate belonging to thoDnke of Nor folk, which bad boon locked up in Mosers.-Smith & Payne's bank since tbe death of the late Duke.; has been once more taken from Its concealment. The plate is said to weigh a ton and a half, and is valued at AloO.OOO.”,. Of coutee, the young Duko has had no control of the matter, but Ido not see how he could walk comfortably through square miles of star vation-through the squalorof great districts of this metropolis,with .£60,000 worlh'of silver plate lying useless at any banker’s, which valne In vested ini somo useful work would provide a com rortable subsistenco for hundreds. THE ARM* BIliL. The Proposed Deduction of the Army. Washington, Sunday, Feb. 7 —The details of the proposed bill for the reduction of the army, agreed upon by tho Honse Military Committee yes U rday, and outlined in thCBO despatches laßt nigh t, are In brief as follows: First— Consolidate tho Quartermaster, Com missary and Pay Departments Into ono depart ment, to bo called the Department of Supply. Second —Consolidate the ordnance and artillery into one corps. . ... . Thitd— Reduce tho numbers of Infantry regi men tsrrom forty-fivo to thirty. /omfAyNo more brigadier-generals of tho lino to be appointed beyond the present number, eight, tjrtiß abolishing tho two commissions now vacant: Fifth— No more brigadier-generals to be ap pointed to the Staff, except the Chief of the Sup ;s2(i£-AboUsh Regimental Commissaries of Subsistence for cavalry. Seventh —Reduce the number of non-commls eioDtd officers In each regiment. Eighth— Abolish bands. Ninth— The term of enlistment to bo five years. Tenth— The mode of reduction to be by ab sorption—that is, In military phrase, by “cas ualiy,” expiration of terms of enlistment, als charge, death, disability, dismissal, resigna tion, &c. . . . Eleventh —All the Staff Departments to be re duced in the number of their officers. No new appointments are to be mado, either irom West Point or from civil life, until this re duction is accomplished, which It Is estimated will require about two years. The number of of ficers thus cut off is abont six hundred. The measure will bo proposed to-morrow,under a sus pension of the rales, as an amendment to the Army Appropriation bill. It Is dealgned.as much as anything, to test the tempor of tho Houso, some of its leading members having complained that the Military Committee were apathetic on this question. - If the Army Appropriation bill Is to be cut np indiscriminately, without regard to the objects or necessities for which the money Is appropriated, as It has been for three days post, then it is absolutely necessary that Congress re duce the army In the same proportion. General Butler, animated by his Inveterate hostility to the Regular Army, stands ready to propose, as a substitute for the foregoing, a still more sweep ing redaction, which amounts almost to anni hilation. It is exceedingly doubtful, considering all the circumstances, whether any reduction Is Anally accomplished at this session. There are but twonty-one working days lefU-fV. F. Tribune. pistnu. Tbe Tax Question Settled. Pan asia, Jan. 28.—A meeting of the merchants was called by the President of tho State last week, to come to some deflnlnlte understanding in regard to the tax question. A very lengthy conference was held, in which the President was told some very unpalatable troths. The desire of the business men was not to embarrass the Government in refusing to pay the tax, but to protect tbeir own Interests, which would be sacrificed if they submitted to pay the exorbi tant demand of $lOO,OOO, and that if the law bo enforced, they would one and all close their stores and leave the country. The Government, after taking the matter into consideration, con cluded it to be advisable not to push matters to extremes, and accepted the proposition of the mercantile community to reduce the tax to $60,- 000; a new assessment was made, and everybody seems to be satisfied with the result. I have un derstood, however, that tho merchants will me morialize the Bnpreme Court at Bogota, in order to test the right of the State to impose commer cial taxes. The weather is very dry and sultry, and small-pox has made its appearance among tbe negroeß of the suburbs. The United Slates steamship Tnscarora, and tbe Cyane, are present in this port.— Nets York Tribune. IHE SAN DOHIQGO SCHEME. A Big Job. The Washington correspondent of the Herald save : If one can believe tbe very smallest part of what Is being circulated hero'about the scheme lor the annexation of Bt. Domingo there is a very huge Job at the bottom of it. It is said that certain parties in this country have obtained grunts of nearly the whole territory of Bt. Do mingo, and that If tbe annexation scheme Is put through onr government will And itself the pos sessor of only a right to pay the Indebtedness ol the acquired territory, with scarcely an acre of soil to call its own. If this be true, and the par ties Interested are really, as stated, occupying high official positions in this country, It Is easy to understand the eagerness manifested In some quarters for the annexation of Domingo. TBE PEACH CROP. Prospect* in Maryland and Delaware Thei e seems to be a diversity of opinion among onr experienced fruit-growers relative to the ef fect the recent warm spell has had upon our next summer’s crop ot peaches. Some contend that the buds are sufficiently swollen to bo affected by the cold, should any be experienced, while othors are equally tenacious of an adverse opinion. They all admit that the buds are swollen, bnt differ In regard to tbe degree. This, we imagine,depends altogether upon tbe qnalily of tho soil on which the trees stand. Those on light sandy soils are more advanced than those on heavy clay land, and wo would not be the least surprised If some (.retards are an entire failure again this year— Denton (Caroline county) Union. The peach crop now promises well, and every thing that is practicable should be done, and timely done, both to secure Its safe and prompt transportation and its profitable sale. There will probably be two or two and a half million of huskuls, which sbonld net as many dollars to tho growers, aDd will, If properly attended to; but if neglected, or Ignorantly or inefficiently managed, not mere than half bo much The Importance of the peach crop to the people of Delaware was never eo well understood as now. Last year’s total failure, and tjie consequent scarcity of mo ney, have opened our eyes lo ibis matter, and we hope that everything that Intelligence and skill can do will be done to promote this great interest, so Intimately connected with tho prosperity of the State.— Delawantin. X Bom an co of the Cuban Rebolllon. An American citizen who was In the Theatre of Villaneuva on ike evenlog of the 22d ult., and witnessed tbe riot and massacre In the streets of Havana that evening, says that the origin of the outburst was tbe shooting of a young woman. He soys: "A very beautiful glrj, the daughtor of Aldama, one of the wealthiest and most noble of ull Cubans, wore upon ber lett breast the Ameri can flue, with the Inscription, ‘Long live the Re public of Cuba,’ upon it. When that stirring song was being sung, tbe whole audience rose und cheered this young woman, and as she rose to acknowledge tbe saluto—all eyes were now bent upon her—a low, mean, cowardly Spuulnrd shot her with a revolver, killing her instantly. Two American ecntlemen occupied the. box unjoining Beunrita Aldama, whose names I do nol know, but one of whom, seeing the pis tol pointed nt tho young lady's breast, drew his revolver; and a second after tho Spaniard had fired, blew the top off tbe head of iho cowardly assassin. lueliuuly tbe wholo theatre was tho scene of the. greatest confusion, and tho Spanish Hoops rushed Id and begun firing upon the masses of the huddled, unarmed, Innocent mon and women.” —A curious law-suit Is said to bo on the tapis In F.igland.

The Port Huron Commercial relates tho follow ing: ■* Leon do Boux, a native of Gaspe, In Lower CaDnda, and for the last four months at work on the Manitou Island, left his log cabin on Satur day, the 2d lost., with bis dog, a large, powerful Newfoundland, In pursuit of garno. -Ho soon dls covered tbe freeh traeka-of-a-largo-bearr-Gan- Uonsly following It ho reached the Bhore of Lake Enron, and saw at no' great distance-on - the 100 the very animal. Climbing over huge blocks, which the storm of the previous night had strewn In wild confusion on the rocky coast; he ap proached; suddenly tho bear stopped, aiid tried to retrace his steps' to the neighboring forest. To intercept the BDimal, Do fionx and dog went on the ice, which .seembd soenro As the road was for miles unintercepted'by water.- Ho gained on the bear from minute to minute; -when be saw to bis astonishment that the huge beast ■topped, looked aronnd and retraced his: steps, chasing the dog before him. He shot, and-dwell aimed ball entered the hood and killed him on the spot. Rushing toward the carcass ho did hot ob serve that the wind changed, Ihattho 100 groaned snd cracked. Ho reached tho beast and tried to drag it to the shore, more than three-fourths of a mile distant. Bnt imagine his surprise when he toond that the wind, blowing fresher and more violent, bad mado a chasm between him and the land more than two rods broad. At once seeing bis perilous position he fired rapidly and hal looed at tho top of hla voice. No one answered; echo blodo brought his own voice back ont of deep rect6seß and rocks, and he was rapidly drifting, in a southwesterly direction, to the middle of tho lake. His position was Indeed most dangerous; tho wind inoreased from moment to moment, and when sight set In It blow a perfect hurricane, breaking the large piece of ice on whioh he stood into a thousand fragments,throw ing him at one moment violently against icy masses, at another covering him with a freezing wave. There he sat on the dead bear,his shivering dog at his feet, looking wistfully at his master for baip. De Boux saw no help; every moment threaUned death; the cold was Intense, unbear able; ho proyed and asked God to end his suffer ing; the Ice in the moantimo drifted more and more to the Michigan shore, and when day be gan to break over the water he conld soe far in the distance a dark line, which grew until ho could distinctly discover that It was land; sud denly the ice on which he lay stopped. It had joined huge fields of ico. Exhausted and frost bitten. he walked lor miles toward tho shore on tbe frozen element, when again the large Island of ice broke, drifting steadily toward tho Michigan shore. Now he could distinctly see trees and huts: he he ard the barking of doge; he tried to load, his gnn to fire; impossible, his hands were swollen and btnnmbca; he hallooed and shouted—no help. And again night passed, and again day broke over tho water, and ho lived still. In the meantime the wind had turned more to the east, and forced the lee right into the western shore. Crawling on hiB wounded hands he atlast reached terraJirma abont six miles north of tbe light house, where some kind-hearted fishermen found him and took him to their shanties:” CITY BULLETIN.

Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills, will cure Consumption, Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken as cerding to the directions. They are all tbreo to be taken at the same time. They cleanse the stomach, relax the liver, and pot it to work. Then the appetite becomes good, the food digests, and makes good blood; tbo patient begins to grow in flesh; the diseased -matter ripens in tho Inngß. and the patient outgrows the disease and gets well. This is the only way to euro Con sumption. To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Bcbenck, ol Philadelphia, owes bis unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pul monic Syrup ripens themorbtd matter, discharges it and purifies the blood. The Mandrako PUls act upon the liver, remove all obstructions there from, give the organs a healthy tone, and care liver complaint, which Is one of tho most promi nent causes of consnmption. Tho Seaweed Tonic Invigorates the powers of the stomach, and by strengthening the digestion, brings it to a normal and healthy condition. The great reason why ph<elcians do not cure Consnmption Ip, they try to do too ranch; they give medicine to stop the congh, to stop chill, to stop night-sweats, hectic fever, and, by so doing, they derange the whole digestive powers, lock ing op tho secretions, and eventually the patient sinks and dies. Ido not try to stop a congh, night-sweats, chills or fever. Remove thecaneo, and they will all stop of their own accord. No one can be cured of Consnmption, liver complaint, dyspepsia, catarrh, cancer, ulcerated throat, unlesß the liver and stomach arc made healthy. Dr. Schenck himself, wtjo has enjoyed uninter rupted good health for more than titirty-flvo yc&is, was supposed, at one time, to be at the very gate ot death, bis physicians having pro nounced bis case hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate. Ho was cured by the aforesaid medi cines, and, plnce bis recovery, many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr. Scneuck's prep arations with the same remarkable success. Full directions accompany each, nuking It hot absolutely necessary to personally see Dr Schenck nnless patients wish their lungs examined, and for this purpose he is professionally at his prin cipal office, Philadelphia, every Saturday, where all letters loradvlco must be addressed He is also professionally at No. 32 Bond street.

It is alleged by the plain tiffs that on the 16th of March, 1868, the defend ants allowed aisles and passage-ways In the andl torlnm of the hall to be obstructed while said hall was being used. It Is also alleged that on the same occasion the doors were closed, thus ob structing the free egress of the people. The act of Assembly in question prescribes a penalty of $5OO for tbns obstructing passage-ways or closing doors of places of public amusement during the time of performance. One-half of the penalty is given to the informer and the other half to"the Society for the Relief of disabled Fire men. In the course of the proof by the plaintiffs lead ing to ehow tbe doors of ingress and egress, it appeared that the only door on Chestnut street, under tbedlrect control of tho defendants, is situ ated to the went side of the front, and the east door is sometimes used ub a moans of egress by permission of the occupants of the other portions of the bnilding. Both these doors open out ward, as required by the Act of Assembly. In case of necessity there are three doors of exit, the third being on Clover street Manlius G. Evans, a witness called for the plain lift, when examined on his rinVadoir, ad mitted tnat he was the informer in the case. The defence objected to his testimony on tho ground of Interest. The counsel for tho plaintiff answered that whatever interest he had.he had assigned away to a charity. , Mr. Price, for the defence, replied that the act of Assembly fixed his interest. Judge Stroud sustained the objection bv the defence, and the witness was not examined. Charles H. Hart testified that he was at Con cert Hall on the night of March 16th, 1838,0 n the occasion of Mrs. Kcmblo’s reading. He saw u-lurs place chairs In tho passage-way. Witness remonstrated, wherenpou Mr. Boitty was called, and be told witness If he did cot like the chairs there, be might leave tho hull. On crosß-examlnation witness stated that there were quite a number ot chairs in tho aisle, and that people coaid not get oat except with diffi culty. Fred. Chase, who was present on the same oc casion, corroborated, tho abovo, and ho saw par ties endeavor to pass down tho alslo, bat fail because of tho obstruction; and ho'saw ono of the parties attempt to got out tho hall but was un able, because the door was closed and apparently locked. Henry C. Spnkman testified to tho same ol>- slructione. • ’This closed tho case for tho plaintiff. Tbe defence. In opening, referred t> .the fact: Wat the complaint In question bad reference to ’We first of 1 Mrs.' . Kemble’s' readings. She bad been annoyed by parties In New: York, coming latc„and ebo decided not to bavo reserved seats. There wop, consequently, a great rush, and eomo of tbore wbo came late, or did not obtain seats, tobk chairs themselves, and when Mr. Beatty's attention' was called to it be went to the parties and remonstrated with them. ' Some of those who thus occupied the chain did surrender them.: In additton to this action of Mr. Beatty, it was urged that white tbe defendants were tho general Iceeeee of the ball, yet on certain occa sions the building Is turned over, to tbe party having tbe entertainment. On this occasion Mr. Pngb bad charge, and bad bis own agents in tho building. Judge Stroud—The act of Assembly makes tbe lessees responsible. Mr. Price—But this act has nover received a judicial construction. It will also bo rocollected that during tbe wiDtcr that this act was passed there were a number of “rings” at Harrisburg. One was to "bring down" the railroad men; an other “riDg" to “bring down” showmen, and hence tbe present law. Tbu caso Is still on trial. Qoabteb Sessions— Judges Allison and Lud low.—This morning tho Court was engaged in hearing ah argument by counsel for the owners of land recently taken for Park purposes, who claim that the city should bo required to allow Interest on the amount of tbe award of damages, said interest to commen co from the time the city agreed to take the land. This is resisted, on tho ground that tho city has not had poseteelon of the propcrty. and that no interest should be allowed, as no actual pos session will be obtained until tbe coart confirms the award of damages. The matter was hold nndcr advisement. OITY NOTICES. A Would of Thanks ib dob To the botanist who first discovered the virtues of the QuiUaya Sopanaria, or Soap Tree of Chill.
