As if again to remind us of the weaknesS of i man, the sea has demanded another inVolnn -1 tary tribute to its unconquerable power.

'All the steamships of this company—twelve in num ber—have been built by the same firm._ The Gennania was sent to. sea- from the shipyard -of .Caird & Co. in 1863.; At Lloyd's she was rated, when last Surveyed, in January, 18418, as Al; measured 2.718 tons, had three decks, drew 21 feet of wafer, was constructed of iron, and. was considered 'a very , - fast steamer..

Orders were given that : nothing of the occurrence should, be . conamumeated_ to ,the - cabin passengers. The people in that part ot the steerage below which the tire was (Us covered were removed to another.part and placed under guard, but were assured of their safety.

THE WIRECIt.---- The first intimation of her loss WaS the re ceipt; by the general agents of the packet company, 3iessrs.linholiardt & Co., ill Btoad street, from the North German Consul at St. John's, Newfoundland, a despatch to .the fol lowin effect Si...l g on...is, N. F., Aug." 10.—The Germania is a total loss at Trepassey, off•this coast. The passengers and crew have been saved. A' steamer has heen sent there ' " to bring them to this port." R. H. PnowsE. The locality; given in the , aboVe despatch is near Cape Itace and somewhat to , the north west of it, on the , southwestern coast line of Newlotindland. Trepassey Bay is situated in longitude 53 30 west of Greenwich (about 23 tip east of 'Washington); and about 4.4 i a) north latitude. NO, particulars of the disaster, no precise statement of the cause of it, have beep received, but it, is presumed by some of those who, seafaring men, know the surround ings of that part of the Newfoundland coast, that the Germania must have run, or rather been driven, upon a rock durifig the 'night by the tremen dous sea just now raging there. When the above despatch became known it created quite an exeitement,for thoOgh atlirth ing that the passengers and crew were saved, from. - 0e- crumbling wreck, it did not state whether they were brought to the shore or still, left to treacherous fortune upon the seething waves in•open boats. A second • de-, spatch, however, dispelled all these doubts. It read: ' • ST. JOHNS • N. P August 10, 1869.—The passengers .• gers and crew were successfully landed at Trepassey, and a, tug has gone to their as sistance. This was assurance that the entire number of human beings which had left - New York on the vessel were safely returned to dry land, and would soon be taken care of by the agents of the ccenpany: - The apprehensions,i± any were yet felt by those who had friends, rela tives or even acquaintances on board, were further quieted by learning of the receipt of the following ST. JonNs o N. P., August 10, 3.31,-P. 3L—To Kuhnharde iii Co, New Fork. The passengers and crow are still at the scene of the wreck. A tug left this morning to bring what she can carry here. It. H.

The latest, information is that the Germania is a complete'wreck, that she is breaking up and fast disappearing under the continuous shocks of the tremendous blows of the waves breaking up against and •over•ber. , One de spatch last , evening empressed the Imhof that besides the passengetW and crow the' mails were also brought, safely to land, but nothing upon which this belief could rest was mien tioned.

The evenings of- the voyage were most:glorious, and many were the hours spent in promenading by the light of the moon with the ladies, of whom there were many on board, or leaning over the rail, in watching the brilliant flashes from the phosphorescent waves or the softer light of beauteous eyes. And the sons of Har vard proved themselves as well versed in the more gentle arts as they have already shown they are in the more arduous duties at the.oar. Many and warm were the friendships formed, and who shall say that when our little house hold was broken up at the termination of the voyage, that the partings were less full of re gret than those from friends of longer stand- ing across the wide 'Atlantic.

The interest of the few re maining millions will then concentrate upon the international boat: race_ between .Oxford and Harvard, a few miles up the river. The Harvard boys, who 'are declared to be near -oleus specimens of nianly beauty, have a nice house by. the riverside at Put ney,. with a garden runnin„c , down to the water, and they are trying their boats—try lug the. Thames—getting - the bearings, and ,goimg into regular traininZ crew; has cre, has its own little Villa, lent to them by the pro prietor, riot far distant, and the trains, omni buses' and steamers 'already carry hundredS of people daily, who take a pleasant trip, :into the prettiest. suburbs.of London to get a glimpse of-the rival: crews.. The betting men are . eagerly studying, .Aim, prospects .and, 'chances. They, are, wary now, but as the, ox-' citement rises great sums will be ventured,, and . then will come' the desperate desire to Win. *The hating men Who 'would not • beg tate to poison a horse or rider, will do their best to foul a boat.

The queStion of the validity of this lsale is now the grow:a/work of nine legal suits and Considerable - illegal squabbling, laut it must be undendood that; each, of the suits has bear ings independent of this qiiektion. " • To.give a clear understanding 'of the im portance of,the roaci.to Erie, it may be stated ; that at Bingnampton it connects, with the Erie line, and tou hrgh it with, the' whole System of Western roads under its command. At Albany it, joins , the Boston and Albany Itailiray. Thus be seen that the Erie Railway, once in .poiniession of this road,-: would have a route , from the West to New England so direct as topreVent any successful competition, excepting on the i littit of the New York Central .ailroad. Another importantconsideration in the eyes of the Erie magnates is, the 'coal trade of Albany 'and the river towns, and the inland towns of-NeivEngland, which. m is now in their possession, jointly ;with the Delaware and Hndson Canal. Binghamton is rapidly be:coming a great distributing .centre for this trade, and. the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rail Way. Company svill soon complete a road direct from Scranton to that city. As Erie and the Canal 'Company have hitherto monopolized this trade, and as it is understood that the present , directors of the Albany and Susquehanna, Railroad are •in favor of leasing . to the Delaware and Lackawanna ltailway the right to run their coal trains over, the road, • thus ilestroying the coal monopoly, it would obviously benefit Erie to obtain control ot the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad, or at all events to depose the contumacious directors. The consolidation with Erie is opposed by the directors, for two reasons. Pint, they claim that. the road VMS built to , accommodate local trade. If it be placed' . under the control of the. Erie road it will lose its primary .object, and the local trade Will be forced to give way 'to through traffic, and to pay heavier tariffs. They argue on well established 'prece dents, they say when they assert, that in all of, the large railways, mad& up of nianyreads,.but more especially* of Erie,' local trade is matte subservient to a through ffi trac, and the fbrmer is, taxed ,m6re than ; thaible (in proportion) than the latter. Their tecond reason for opposition is - the 'coal trade. For the interest of the section of the country through which the road runs, awl for `the.-in terests of the road aS well,they desire to break up the Erie monopoly in the coal trade, this cheapening the fuel raised in all the river towns, and in all the inland towns of New England, and as a natural cousequenee, , in creasing the consumption and their own freight traffic; he Bald on,. the Ehiequehelles itethreed• • [From the Argus, of.Ttesdnyj We think it must. be - etident .to the Erie Railroad directors' that'their move ment' ripon the Sus9nehanna, Railroad is a failure. Law game , at which two can play; and unluckily , for -the Erie operators, they disclose all. their tricks and devices in their: previous performances.

What _ls_important our--eitizens,_and extraordinary struggle has illustrated, is', the innnense. value, of tile - road in its rela tions to 'the other routes of trade and travel, and to the material development of the 'cout try. It is one of the most important avenues to the coal mines. It is a connecting linkbe tween the West and New England and Northern New York. It is the terminus of the broad gauge, line from Chicago, reaching tide-water at Albany. It is a rival of the Cen tral Railroad, and can defeat its, tendency to monopoly. It is not important what set of men are, Directors in the road. We care nothing about that.: But the road is essential to the prosperity of Albany; and it is the in terest of all our citizens that it Should be pre served as an independent corporation, not subservient to any other company or interest. _ of refer to t FROM NEW YeEli.
