' On the lat of Juno the Bur,crrix published a despatch, received by the American Press Association, telling of the drowning of twenty persons belonging to a pleasure party, on one 'orthe Swiss lakes. The New York Asso. elated Press and its dependents have not yet heard of this catastrophe. A Paris paper of June 2d, now before • us, gives some particu lars concerning it. The choral Society of Vevey, including some of the most respectable citizens, had been to Les GruyiTes, to give a concert for the benefit of tbe Orphan Asylum of Bulle. Returning by way of the valley of AlUres, they stopped on the plateau of Jaman to fish in a small but very deep lake where a delicious kind - of trou s caught. The shepherds of the neighborhood use a kind of raft when they go to fish and on on one of these rafts thirty members of the singing society went out into the middle of the lake. The raft gave way and the whole party were plunged into the lake, and twenty of them perished. The catastrophe caused the utmost excitement in Vevey. Among the victims were several persons in importan ofli ces, and the editor of the local paper, THE DARIEN CANAL EXPEDITION. - - POMP Prospeets—Hentry Halos—AL New Working Pwrty.-Returtt of the Old Ono ...Condition of the Men--No Satishte. tory Results Accomplished—TheHen Becoming Discontented.

In conse quence of the heavy fall of war it .had_been Attic - tilt tii keep the working parties at the front supplied with provisions. On the 13th of May', a new working party, under Lieutenant Hubbard, started for the front to relieve Lieutenant Hitchcock and party, who had conducted the survey from the Bay of San Bias to a point thirteen miles inland. The return squad arrived at .the beach on the 18th, hungry, ragged and ex hausted-. On the same date Lieutenant Hub bard reported, from a point fourteen miles in-.. land (by the line of survey), that the highest elevation yet attained was only 170 . feet. Ou the 20th live niensof the working . party were lost inthezwood.s.,.Seareli_iias instatuted,_ aud they were found . , after two days' wander ing and when, seriinis tears for their safety bad begun to he entertained.

A letter Was received on the .18th-from the - commander or the - Nyack, stating that-his party Were some - distance up the Byano river, the course of which they ex pected to leave shortly, to- ascend. the Uar moni a riVer: - Thealin Of CaptaniSelfiadge is to reach the Marnionia frotu this side and de scend the stream, meeting the party from the Nyack. The-Nipsic- -was to-- leave for-Aspin wall on the :nst, it being Selfridge's intention to -pay a visit to the Nyack's commander, via Panama Railroad.. At date of our advices Lieutenant Hub bard's party had surveyed twenty miles from the beach, at which distance the highest land elevation found was 309 feet, the elevation of the river's bed being 295 feet. The surround ing country was very rugged an& difficult. Donkey transportation had been abandoned, and provisions for the working party, were sent forward in small quantities on the hacks of Om men. On the 29th of. May Captain_ -.Selfridge ordered Messrs. Moser and BoWditeh to take one fnatlittero, with plenty of provisions for the party, go to the head of Lieutenant Hub bard's line, and from thence strike a south southeast course and endeavor to reach the San Jose, Marmonia or other river on that line flowing towards the Pacific Ocean. They were to make a pace traverse of the route, and Lieutenant Hubbard was-to follow as fast as possible, with compass and level. On the :30th orders were issued that Lieu tenant Hitchcock, Lieutenant Goodred and six nren, hilly provisioned, leave the beach early on the following morning to relieve Lieutenant Hubbard and party—the latter to return to the beach at once—and, taking a south-southeast course, to make for the San Jose or 31arinonia river, then to proceed lit deemed prudent) to the Pacific Ocean, or until the party, from the Nyack is encountered. No orders had 'been issued recalling blessits. Moser and Bowtlitch. 'i HE PRESIDEN I` ON INDEPENDENCE DAY.

DICK:NNW/if IDEA Or efattorosr, In explanation of his exposure of the Peck snitflan tribe, Dickens his writtenlbiri: Lest there should be any •well-intentioned persons who do not perceive thediffereuce be tween religion and the cant of religion, piety and the pretence of piety, an humble rever ence for the great truths of Scriptitie, and an audacious and oftisnsive obtrusion of its let ter and not its spirit in the commonest &mem ,- sions and the meanest attain of life, to the extraordinary confusion, of • ignorant minds,. let them understand that it is alivays the latter, and never the former, which is satirized here. Further ; that the latter Is here satirized as being, ac cording to all experience, inconsistent with the former, impossible of onion with it, and one of the most mischievous and evil false hoods existent In society. It may appear tins necessary to oiler a ward of observation on so plain ahead, but it is never out of season to protest against that coarse familiarity with sacred things which is busy on the lip and idle in the heart; or against the confounding of Christianity with any class of persons WhO, iu the words of Swift, " have just enough re : ligion to make'theni - hate,. and not enough to make them love one another."

How proimpt was his attendance at the annual press dinners, and how like the quiet falling.ef.re-.: Treshing rain was the dropping of his sen teneea on those enjoyable occasions! 'Who of those that were present at the farewell Dickens dinner, given by the press of New York two years ago, will ever let slip from mind the inexpressible tenderness of his greeting and, grateful expression at that memorable time? In vain did he call upon all his boundless re sources of language .to satisfy himself in 'ex pressing his love and admiration for the press, and-of the kindness with which newspapers on both sides of the water had unitormly treated him. There was an enchantment about' his words which made every press man present timed of his calling. DICKENS AND WASHINGTON tavisw. . Mi. Charles Barman, of Georgetown; D. C., has written a very interesting account of the -genial and friendly-Intercourse between :Dickens and_l_r_ving, and ,among other=inci dents gives a refreshing 'story abOut " a julep in . -Baltimore,',' which is embodied in.the.fol lowing extract from a letter, written to Mr. Bauman by Mr. Dickens during his last visit to this country : " WAsHIN‘;TON, February 5, 18(tS.—Dewe : your reference to in v dear friend, Washington living, renews --tlie vivid im pressions reawakened in my mind at Balti more the other day. I saw his rine face for the-last-time-in-that He-eau:Le there from few York to pass a day or two with me before I went westward, and they were =made ..among_the_anost, menzorable_of_my life by his delightful lancy and genial humor. Some unknown admirer of his books and mine sent to the . botel a must enormous mint julep, wreathed with flowers. We sat, one on eithei side of it, with great solemnity it tilled a re spectable-sized roundtable), but the solemnity was of very short duration. It was quite an enchanted julep, and carried us among innu merable people andpla,ces that we both knew. The julep held out far, into the night, and my memory never saw him afterward otherwise than as bending over it with his straw, with at, attempted gravity (after some anecdote in volving some wonderfully droll and delicate observation of character), and then, as his eye caught mine, inciting into that captivating laugh of his, which was the brightest and best I have ever heard:" "Dear sir, with many thanks, faithfully j Ours, CHARLES DICKENs." PA R EPA-ROSA. ) Her Trip to England On Wednesday next Madame I'arepa-Rosa and Mr. Carl Rosa will sail for England, bear ing with them the hearts of the American public: Many a singer has - won abundant popularity and wealth in the United States since this country became recognized as a legitimate field for musical enterprise, but none has ever endeared herself in such a peculiarly personal manner to her audi ences as the atcompliShed and marvelous woman who IS now about to leaVe us. When her handsome, jovial face appears upon the stage, a smile of pleasure always runs around the hall. When the notes of that di vinne voice fall upon the ear every face settles into a look of content, and every musical want seems satisfied. We suppose Parepa must have left, scattered all over this continent,from New En gland to San Francisco, about two or three mil lion personal friends,who neverspoke to her in their lives and never expect to. She has been, everywhere. She has conquered the most distant territories. She has turned even an Overland Stage Coach into a triunipliai chariot, and carried her glorious song , from Boston to the Great Salt Lake. What has she -not done during her :extraordinarV Amerfean . career She tossed over a "few English bal lads, and we found in them a rare beauty we , had never suspected.. She tried oratorio, , and the spirit of the old composers tilled her, and. she gave such, voice to their grandeur that we hardly tolerate Handel now from any, mouth but hers. Jubilees put her to the test, but she went on conquering. Ten thousand sang against her, cannon thundered at her side,five hundred musicians Played their very loudest, and still above the multitudinous din, soared that beautiful voice. Then she turned to the neglected opera, and straightway, with the best English company ever heard in this country, gave - us master-pieces we never knew before, and added freSh.leaves to, her laurel crown. Mr. Rosa meanwhile 441 N become recognized as one of the ablest . of musicians, managers, and instrumental, cone ductors, and shares with his wife the enviable reputation, of keeping faith with the public and telling the truth—even on the play-bills. It is not the intention of Madame Rosa to sing (hiring her visit to her native country, and all offers of an engagement have been re fused. She will devote the seamier. ba repose —for even with her extraordinary strength and vitality a little recuperation will not be . amiss-; and 'next season itis her purpase to be with us once more. With N . vhatover.plans she may come, whether the concert-room,the ora torio, the English-or.
