NEER
-,lmportint 'FriCte vita Figures.
The Democratic party was in a minority in
Illinois, ip 1856, of some twenty, thousand on
the Presidential vote; adding the FREMONT
and FILIZIORE colunins together; . Noy, under
the lead of Judge Doiralial;'•and under
, • the in
fluence of Popular Sovereignty:honestly ad
vocated, the Democrats have secured the State
Legislature, a majority Of Congressmen, and,
from late indications, a decided majority of the
popular vote over the combined Opposition.
This extraordinary result has been achieved
with the whole , power of the Federal
Goverrunka enlisted against the Demo
cratie party in Illinois. The President, his
'Cabinet, hie office-holders in oyelY State of the
Uniori;jand an army;-of expoctants, strained
every nerve to overthrow Singer Downes and
to _assist , the Republicans. To accomplish
such a Catastrophe, the organization and the
prineiples:of the 'Dentocratic party were lioth
openly rejected - dna deserted. Independent
or irregulaicandidates were put in nomination
by the GcneralAdministration in the Represen
tative and Congressional districts, and a bogus
Stilet ticket nominated—all these being
against the regular Democratic candidates.
The meroiless proscription and corrup
tion 'were resorted to by the agents of Mr.
i3tioultsin, acting under his direct instructions.
All office-holders were removed who would not
oppose Donatas, and their places filled by
those who were ready to comply, and the
Union, and Now York Herald,and other out
side Lecompten organs, maintained a threat
ening and proscriptive tone, so as to remind
the emissaries of the General Administration
that they could only earn their wages by the
most shameless and reckless and persistent
efforts against Doyen/in and the Democratic
masses of Illinois. The figures speak elo
quently of the awful overthrow of all these
schemes, and of the unparalleled success of
the noble statesman they were intended to de
stroy.
But the fact which stands out most con
spicuously •is the vote which the Ad
miniitration of JAMES BUCIIIANAN, backed
by an .array. of patronage and an amount of
moans never before enlisted in any similar
campaign, received in Illinois. OF OVER
TWO HUNDRED • AND FORTY THOU
SAND VOTES THROWN IN THAT
STATE ON TUESDAY LAST, ONLY
THREE THOUSAND • WERE GIVEN TO
THE 'ADMINISTRATION TICKET ! We
turn from the reflections which such a sequel
suggests, in mingled pity and contempt for the
men who so deliberately provoked the fate
which has overtaken them. Never has an
arrogant despotism, been so fearfully con
demned. Never ,have faithless public ser
vants been so indignantly castigated.
And it is those three thousand office-holders
and office-seekers that the Washington Union
calls the Dethocratic party of Illinois! The
Union is the fit organ of such a patty. It is a
specimen of characteristic idiocy that, with the
angry voice of the great West still sounding in
its ears, the Union should continue to insist
that Judge Douaras should be expelled from
the Democratic party. Even in that journal
of Saturday last a grave editorial appears, the
object of which is to show that the distin
gnished leader of the Northwestern Demo
=Roy cannot remain in the Democratic party.
American News--from Abroad.
At a groat mutual admiration gathering,
lately held in Manchester, (England,) where
Lord: Jour; RUSSELL was complimented by
every; speaker, and showered down praise and
blarney upon every one, in return, no less a
personage than the real cl Sam Slick," (Mr.
eit•Jtiitice:HAranunrott,) declared that, in a
'very2, khort time, the trade with China will be
carrieCon mainly through the Canadas and
tiffancouver's Island from the port of Liver
ppeleroute of two thousand five hundred
miles shorter than the present one. This evi
dently alludes to the railroad, from Halifax to
Entices River, which there is some talk of
oenstructing. We have already stated the
fire and Con of that subject. No doubt, Eng
land would desire to have such a road, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, wholly through her
own territory In North. America. But there
are,three'.difilculties to overcome: First, the
ex:pen - Se;,neat; "the almost impossibility of
Obtaining, a sufficient number of horny-fisted
laborers to 'constrnottlitrllnerlastly;the
babillty that; diring several months in each
year, the snow, frost, and ice will render such
a railway impossible to be used.
An English journal informs us that the
proprietors of the Galway lino of steamers
have contracted with the British Government
to run weekly, and carry tho mails, to St.
Johns, Newfoundland, or to Halifax, Nova
&elle, and are bound to make the run within
seven slays from port to port. As yet, this
.has been done only once, we believe. It seems
,alitost impossible, with the vessels now em
ployed; to do this in the time. The great
object, it Is said, is practically to bring Lon
dort and' Washington within seven days
communication, by the telegraph, and so,
in a' manner, be independent of the ocean
cable. Practically speaking, however, though
,advices could be brought in this brief
period, not only to Washingten,, but
(which is much more important) to Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Balti
more,' Charleston, Savannah, Now Orleans;
Mobile, St.' Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati,
Chicago,• and other- great cities, passengers
and letters will be from ten to, twelve days
before they disembark at Neiw York. No
Galway steamer, we believe, has yet arrived
at_ New York in ten days.
'Lastly, Lord Paratansrotes own London
journal, the Morning Post, states that nego.
tiations whleh Mr. 'PIERCE failed to complete
haVe' been:resumed by Mr. BUcUANAN, the
preeklent ante United States, with the Chief
of the r itepUblie of St. Domingo, for the ces
sion of the, bay of Samana, et the eastern end
of the island. The Post adds, "this port
could easily be converted into a second Sebas
topol, which, would give. Ito possessors tho
command of the neighboring seas. The pre
textalleged by Mr. PIERCE was, that he wished
to obtain a coal depot for the accommodation
of United States men-of-war," On this, the
Post (or rather, Lord PALMERSTON, who 18
Lilo known proprietor and secret editor of the.
paper,) argues that this manoeuvre is intended,
by the United States, as preliminary to the
annexation of St. Domingo, and calls upon
the British" Government to interfere, and stop
the negotiation.
' Every one who knows any thing of foreign
politics is well aware that Lord PALMERSTON
does not care, a pinch of snuff what the
fate , of St. Domingo may be. But be is
ever 'anxious to show his antipathy to the
United States, and is anxious to throw a dif
ficulty in Lord.Dinny'a way. Tele not probe
ble,'hoWeinr;"that on any statement in the
jiferning , Post, the Derby Ministry will do any
thing in such a - question as this.
Lord bran:, hr;Wever; has made one mis.
take about the United States, - owing to a high
sense Of "courtesy towards PALMERSTON. Sir
:WILLiAIL GORE °USURY, who spent such a
time at Washington, and has lately departed
'to trotiblethewaters in Central America, was
appointed by Lord PALMERSTON, whose con
stant:AlM has been to get such territorial pos.
sesaions,tn , . Central America as would give
England a greater influence there than is pos.
by, the • United StateS. Lord DERRY
ShORRI hive recalled this diplomatin creature
,ot Perstenstnies, as soon as ever his own
stay 'in ntlic'ettipettred permanent. He did
not so withdraw him, and may yet have to rue
the consequences.

Real Estate in Philadelphia
TO insure pecimiary success in life, three
great lesions must be learped—Airst, how to
make money; second, - how to save it; third,
how.to invest it judiciously and safely. There
are many, men who learn bow to make monoy,
whose expenditures keep pace with their in
comes, and who spend fortunes as rapidly as
they, accumulate them; and there are many
More who, having learned both how to make
money and how to save it, deem themselves
perfectly secure, yet are often summarily
stripped of all their possessions, because their
means are invested in unsubstantial, or un
profitable and unproductive enterprises. How
many sad proofs of this danger were afforded
by the financial revulsion of 18071 How
many great houses, which had weathered all
the storms of years, were suddenly prostra
ted ! How many business-men, who had•grown
gray in making and saving money, found
themselves penniless by the'sudden transfor
mation of stocks, notes, bonds, and sundry
other supposed evidences of wealth, acquired
by the proceeds of the assiduous labors of
their lives, into worthless paper !
While these periodical prostratiorrs suggest
great themes of thought and new fields for ac
tion and reform to politicians and statesmen,
each individual intent upon his own personal
advancement, or the welfare of his family,
should be profoundly impressed with the nrac-
Heal lesson they teach by thousands of ex
amples, passing before his eyes, of the neces
sity of investing his money in a manner abso
lutely safe; if ho wishes to retain a compe
tence. The lesson has not been lost; for al
ready wo find, as one of the legitimate results
of the experience of the last fifteen months, a
growing disposition to purchase real estate in
our city. For some time before the panic
real estate was a drug in the market. Prices
were high, but scarcely anybody wanted to buy
It. Capitalists shunned investments in real
estate. They wanted to make money rapidly,
and thought they could do that best in other
quarters. Butnow, as a retrospective glance
is cast over the past, what a contrast is wit
nessed in the respective condition of those who
two years ago selected, and those who then
discarded investments In real estate Hun
dreds of milliens of dollars have been lost.
In mercantile, mining, manufacturing, and
stock jobbing circles, an almost universal
shock has been felt. Financial ruin has been
scattered on every side. When the pressure
came, it swept over these interests like a tor
nado, prostrating all who came before it.
Yet, while it is true that during such periods
real estate may decline in nominal value, or
be less saleable, its intrinsic value is not di
minished. The storm howls, rents may de
crease, property which must be sold does
'not bring so good a price, but the generality
of real estate owners incur no serious positive
losses,—they retain their possessions, and
when the storm is over, instead of being ruin
ed, they aro not at all injured, but, on the con
trary, often benefited by an increase in the
value of their property, which arises from an
improved appreciation by the public of the
security of such Investments.
The growth of Philadelphia, groat as it has
been in the past, cannot but be still greater in
the future. Already in territorial extent, and
in tho number of her houses, she is by‘far the
largest city in the Now World. She has still
room for unlimited expansion, and, what is
more important, the solid advantages which
will inevitably render that expansion neces
sary and certain. Great as has been her suc
cess in manufacturing industry heretofore, the
harvest she will yet reap from her close con
nection with the extraordinary and inexhausti
ble mineral wealth of Pennsylvania will far
exceed the most sanguine expectations of the
present day. Philadelphia is destined to
greatly outrank any other city in the world as
a manufacturing centre. The advantages
she enjoys by her natural location, her
facilities for obtaining raw material, the
genius of her artisans, and the impetus
which her past experience and success has
given her, will tell in the future, and that
speedily, with wonderful effect upon her for
tunes. Among the necessities of the country
is an increase in the custom duties. The de
mands of an exhausted Treasury place the
question of the tariff beyond all the con
tingencies of politics, so far as this is con
corned.---rne—ditties must — mm - vnir - mrraufett;
and to a great extent Will inevitably be more
protective than the existing ones. When this
revision of the tariff takes place, as it must
and will, soon, there can be no reasonable
doubt that manufacturing industry of all kinds
will be greatly quickened. And no point in
the United States will feel this change more
speedily, or be more advantageously affected
by it, than Philadelphia.
Another important agency that eventually
will tell with groat effect upon the prosperity
of this city is just beginning to exercise its
full influence. We allude to the completion
of the chains of railroad connection by which
we enjoy a decided advantage over all °the r At
lantic cities in the race of competition for the
trade of the groat West. The fact that the
shortest and best route from New York to
Chicago is through ear city will load to impor
tant results hereafter.
Gifted by Nature with the many advantages
we possess, and cheered on to exertion by the
groat success of tho past, a splendid future
opens before us. And when a city advances,
as Philadelphia must, no class of men reap so
largo a sharo of the solid advantages of its
progress as those who aro intoiested in real
estate. It Is not singular, therefore, that the
money which has so long been locked up in
vaults is beginning to seek safe and promising
investments in the property of our city.
Mr. Cobb on Popular Sovereignty.
There is nothing more refreshing, oven to
the uninitiated eye, than a groat painting or
poem by a groat master. Nor is there any
object more inspiring to an American than
the productions of those statesmen upon
whom we aro in the habit of relying as lead
ers and guides. Such a man was HOWELL
Conn, of Georgia, before ho attempted the
arduous task of breaking faith with a free and
an Intelligent people. His conservative char
atter—his well-known national inclinations—
his hostility to sectionalism—bad given him a
strong hold upon the masses. In an evil hour
for himself and for his country, however, he fell
away from a course of public life which was
rapidly making him one of the most influen
tial of all our statesmen. He thought the
North would tolerate him in a surrender to
the little blesterors and factious 9re.eaters of'
the South, and that in aiding Mr. Buo ILANAN
in his treachery on the principle of Popular
Sovereignty he would be sustained by his
countrymen. He has been disenchanted by
this time. But whatever Mr. Conn may
choose to do, however ho may turn his back
upon his pledges, and neon his arguments in
favor of popular Sovereignty, he cannot de
stroy the: records where those pledges and ar
guments aro happily preserved. At a mo
ment like the present, when the Washington
Union, doubtless under Mr. Cone's counsels,
continues its assault upon Senator Don-
GLAS because of his eloquent support
of Popular 'Sovereignty, and demands
bis exclusion . from the party for tak
ing almost precisely the ground, and
carrying out precisely the policy, insist
ed upon by Governor Conn two years ago,
we think the following extract from the great
speech of HowELL Conn, delivered at West
Chester, Pa., on the 19th of September, 1888, I
and published in THE Puss September 12,
1857, a most useful reminiscence. Those
who are fond of studying the works of the
masters could not well be furnished with a
more striking and faithful picture than the
following.. Head some of the italicised pas
sages, and see if the Conn of 1858 and the
BouaLas of 1868 do not stand upon precisely
the same ground ; and road in others a full
vindication of Dorman in his great &niggle ;
and then remember that, only for being, con
sistent and right, the shameless proscription
Of the General Administration is being con

The Schuylkill Bridge Loan.
Few sots of OUT present municipal Government
have proved so generally acceptable as the final
passage, on Thursday, of the ordinance providing
for the erection of a bridge over the Schuylkill at
Chestnut street. The tardiness of the notion, how
ever, detracts somewhat from its-grace, and we
fear the public have spelt so much breath in ask
ing that they have little left for thanking. If
our Cannons, therefore, will make amends for their
dilatoriness in yielding to the Public demands for,
that which for years has been admitted on all
hands to be of immediate and argent necessity, they
will lose no time in performing the remaining legis
lation requisite to perfect the matter. To effeot this,
a "Bridge loan" is wanted by the terms of the or
dinance, and this, we trust, will be passed as
speedily as the legal forms will allow.
We indulge in the hope that nopenny-wise and'
pound-foolish policy will be permitted to interfere
with the prompt execution of this important
im
provement. The petitions urgently calling for it
which have been so profusely showered upon
Councils have more significance than is usual with
such documents. They have been signed by a class
of men whose names are rarely seen to such pa.
pars—men who know that their names mean some
thing, and who, therefore, do not lend them at the
will of the first corner. Our heaviest tax-payers
and our largest business firma will be seen there—
gentlemen who, in the end, bear the weight of any
unnecessary outlay, and yet who, in this case, with•.
out a dollar of direct interest in the result, see
their eventual advantage in contributing to that
which is requisite to provide for our city the means
of its metropolitan expansion, and loamy) against
impending contingencies its immense and iIIOTOEU3.
ing trade. In the present instance, however, their
liberality will hardly be put to the test, for the
immediate result of the improvement will be an
enhancement in the value of property on both
sides of the river, which (to say nothing of the
real estate held by the city) will speedily return to
the treasury, through increased assessments, much
more than the interest on the bonds ; and in this
view alone the bridge may be regarded as a moat
profitable investment, without referring to Its
other and far greater advantages.
When an expenditure is thus urged by those who
are to pay for it, we can see no reasonable grounds
for refining the request; and though loath.to
judge harshly of motives, should opposition arise,
we should be inclined to ascribe it to a desire for
the cheap popularity which is thought to accom
pany the outcry of economy—or at best to the
short-sighted vision which cannot distingh eh be
tween a business inteetment of capital and a reek
less and prodigal extravagance.
Concerning Arch-street Theatre, during the past
week, we hale but to say that the new drama
called Pauvrotte," produced on Monday eve
ning, has been so sticcessfid that It will certainly
run the whole of this week, and probably - has
sufficient popularity, which is the life of a play,
to run even through a third week. Mr. Bourol
cault is the author, and to those who know how ho
composes plays that announcement indicates that"
ho has "adapted it" from the French. The very
competent and usually well•lnformed critic of the
Mei of this pieoe is taxon 'from anamby-paiuby •
rose-water morality story of Marenontol's, entitled .
La Borgere des Alpes." • .
Bouroloault, however, is so much in the habit
of beating all other dramatists, by stealing the
ready-made brooms, while others only appropriate
the raw materials, that we suspect ho baa taken
"Pativretto '' from some French piece bared on
Marmontel's story. However, it is a drama ar
tistically put together, containing some excellent
" situations," set off with several good " effects, "
and remarkably well played. Mrs. John Drew,
Miss Emma Taylor, Mr. Wheatley, Mr. John
Gilbert, and Mr. Showell, have the leading parts,
and do the fullest justice to them. The aconery is
capital, the stage machinery works well, and full
houses aro very wall pleased. It will be repeated
this evening, and upon every evening duiing
the week.
At the Walnut-street Theatre, as we have al.
ready had the gratifloation of recording, Mrs.
Bowers had an immense benefit on Wednesday
evening, despite of the weather. This evening,
the tragedy of "Carus Marius," by the late Mr.
It. P. Smith, will be produced. It was played,
many years ago, on the um stage, we believe,
with Mr. Forrest in the leading obaraoter, and
now, by his permission (for he purchased it from
tho author) is reproduced. The out includes
the main strength of Mrs. Bowers' excellent cam
pany—viz, Mrs. Bowers, Mrs. Conway, Mr. Con
way, Mr. Richings, Mr. Koach, Mr. McDonough,
and Mr. Perry. A new pantomime, by the 'Lasts
tombi juvenile ballet and pantomime troupe, will
also be played. On Thursday evening, with new
seeaery by Moister, a new original play (In four
acts, with a prologue) will be produced. It teen.
titled " Five Nights on the Delaware."
The Academy of Music opened on Monday eve
ning, with "La Traviata," with Madame Colson
as the heroine. She made a very favorable im

oillsative powers as an actress. Her good looks,

Lettei from 46 Ocoasionalo
Correspondenee of The Presal
WASHINGTON, Novembe; 7, 1858
The rumor that Walker intends to make another
descent upon Central America gains ground. I
trust there will be short work' made of this man
Walker. A gentleman now in this city has given
me an account of some of his cruelties while in
Central America on a former occasion, which, if
true—and I have good reason to think they are—
will make the people indifferent to any fate that
may befall him. It is said that American real.
dents, even his own countrywomen, did not escape
these atrocities. - "I wish," said my inform•
ant, "that Senator Toombs, who denounced
Commodore Paulding so bitterly for his pro.
eeedings against this notorious filibuster,
could hear from the lips of a fair American lady
en account of Walker's doings. I know ho would
never again speak in his defence." I trust our
own Government will arrest his new career of
piracy, and that England and Prance will hold
off; but, in any event, the time has gone by for
manufacturing sympathy for Walker. Now that
Sir Gore Onseley has left for Nicaragua, a great
deal of indignation is manifested that ho should
have boon permitted to bear so close a relation to
the Executive, while he himself held a commission
-from a Government which for years has been our
rival in Central America. Ills official relation
was, of course, well known at Washington, and
was tho subject of much curious comment. Shrewd,
inquiring, and experienced, connected with some
of our American families, and acquainted with Mr.
Buchanan while the latter was American Minis.
ter at London, ho was 000asionally accepted to do
the work of deceiving our rulers and of getting all
the secrets Of the State Department. Just at this
moment, when England has begun to bluster and to
threaten, when sbe talks of taking the Central
American question into her keeping, Sir Gore is
off with a full budget ! I shall be gratified If
nothing more comes of this affair than words; but
the thing looks squally, to say the least of it.
The 17nion begins, to figure for the House of
Itepresentatives, and comes to the conclusion that
groat power will be held by the anti Lecompton
Democrats! 1 have repeatedly stated that such
would be the result. The Mum states the case
as follows :
"It will be seen that, though the Hemooratitt
party should elect men of their own in every
Southern dieted now represented by Amerioane,
it would still have but a hundred and twelve, a
minority of the House. The admission of Oregon
would give another member; but there would still
bo but a hundred and thirteen of the hundred and
nineteen necessary to a majority. Nor is it
probable that the party will elect more than six
or eight in place of the twelve Americans now
representing Southern districts; and so it is
• hardly possible that the full strength of the
party in the next House eon be more than
about one hundred and ton in two hundred
and thirty-six or seven. On the other hand,
it is obvious that neither branch of the Oppo
sition will have oontrol of that body ; for
there will bo but one hundred and eleven Repub
licans, twelve antl-Leeolnptou Democrats, and say
four or fve•Southern Americans. In other words,
the complexion of the House will be very similar
to that of the session of 1855-'5B. which was sig.
nalized by to long and excited a struggle for the
organization of that body ; yet it is to be consid
ered that if as good an understanding shall subsist
between the anti•Leoompton Dernoorats and the
Republicans as subsisted last winter, When Mr.
Harris, of Illinois, noted as leader of the coalition,
the - Blaok Republican strength in the House will
be as decided as one hundred and twenty-four, or
a clear majority, exclusive of such Americans as
Winter Davis, of six In a full House."
In the same number of the Union the question
is gravely asked whether Judge Douglas shall be
permitted to remain in the Democratic party
When the figures show thdt the Administration
polled less than three thousand out of a vote of 240,
000, in Illinois, the propriety of proscribing Judge
Douglas may be realized. The Union speaks by
authority. There will be no cessation in the war
upon Douglas. The President is more resolute
and vindictive than over, and his advisors find
that they are too fully committed to recede.
Madness really rules the hour.
It begins to be believed that Mr. Buchanan
really intends to recommend a fair revision of the
revenue laws in his annual message. There is no
doubt that helms lately repeated his opinion in
favor of specific duties. Mr. Cobb is, however,
steadily opposed to this change.
General Joseph Lane, of Oregon, and ex• Gove
rnor Isaac Stevens, of Washington, both delegates
from those two Territories, have been hors nearly
all the recess. General Lane watts to bo admit
ted as a Senator with his State, so as to take his
seat at an early day—while Governor Stevens is
laboring bard to secure such protection to the set
tlers in his Territory as will ward off the Incur
sions of the Indians. The last accounts show that
the savages are pretty well under subjection.
The approaching nomination for Governor, in
Virginia, mites much interest. It will be a
tumultuous gathering.
Hon. gherrAra Clemens fuel am happy to say,
way to wound inflicted
by young Wise In their late duel. his death
would have been a sad termination to this unplea
sant affair; and I congratulate both parties on the
prospect of his reoovory. OCCASIONAL.
How Our Taxes are Collected.
(For The Press.]
Tinder the above caption, Professor Leidy, In the
columns of the Ledger, has furnished us with a
communication which seems to reflect very seri
ously on the character of some of our very worthy
officials; but I believe that his intention is only to
admonish the tax-payers to take good care of their
receipts, If they would not subject themselves to
annoying prosecutions for taxes already paid, as
he has been. I have the charity to believe this
to be his only intention, and not to impute di
rectly or indirectly, either upon the competency
or the integrity of the offielals, who aro, to all in
tents, aperfect reflex of the " sovereign people "
In brief, allow me to show the Professor how this
anomaly may have happened without sullying the
reputation of any one, and in doing this I shall
give my own experience.
I called at the office of the receiver and tendered
him the money for three different tax-payers. Be.
(erring to his books," Sir," said be, " those °Jaime
have nil been settled and credited to the several
Recounts " My dear sir, I told, I think you aro
mistaken ; I know that neither of them has been
paid ; but, whether or not, I would pay them if he
would bo kind enough to indulge me with a re
ceipt, which he courteously did, observing, at the
same time, that the books in tho office were in
such a muss as to make it almost impossible to
glean intelligence from them. On my question,
why is it so? he replied, " that persons or clerks
were employed not for their °speedy, but for their
subserviency to the dicta of pot-house politicians
and political demagogues." Duly appreciating
the logical accuracy of his reasons in general, I
cannot consent to its special application. as I am
rather inolined to believe that when Professor
Leidy paid lift bill, the amount probably corres
ponding to mine, he gave me anti my two friends
the credit. But there underlies all this a momen
tous question, viz : The Receiver of Taxes last
week published an account of the.enormous sum of
ono and a half million dollars unpaid. Now, how
can he poseibly any this, with the foregoing facts
before him? There may be two millions unpaid,
and there may not bo a half-million, for all he
knows or can know from the wretched condition of
the accounts. Query—Mr. Editor, how long will
it bo before our good people will oast off tho incu
bus of political fraud and peculation which is
crushing them to the earth. under the disguis of
patriotism ?

Awful Catastrophe.
TERRIBLE EiTEAMBOAT EXPLOSION AND LOSS Or
LlpEr-TOTAL DESTEECTIOR OP TEE PROPELLER
PETEEL - AEEEOIECY IBE CREW, dcC
About a quarter to oinico'olook yesterday after;
noon a sad caminity occurred on the North river;
near the font of ,Tay street. A small propeller ;
named the Petrel, exploded ber-boiler;-and was
blown to atoms. Three men lost their lives, while
a fourth was badly injured. The Petrel, it ap
pears, was about 35 or 40 feetlong, and was manned
by a mew of four persons, namely, —, pilot;
Eenryßrink, engineer; Edward Downey, fireman,
and --,deck hand.
As she was steaming up the river, opposite Jay
street, as already referred to, the engineer ap
peared on desk and saluted the engineer of the
steamer Broadway then lying at her wharf at the
above pier, and jdat as he was waving his handker
chief the explosion took place. Tho scene that
ensued is described as being most terrible. The
propeller. was blown to pieces, and-all who were
on board were killed, with the exception of the
fireman Downey.
The body of the engineer, Henry Brink, was
blown fully ono hundred feet into the air, and in
its dement fell Upon the promenade deck of the
steamer Broadway, crushing in the deck with its
weight, and forcing its way through to the saloon
below. The body of the unfortunate man was
mangled in the most shocking manner; one of his
legs was entirely blown off, while his entrails pro•
traded to the length of several feet.
Downey's escape seems most wonderful. He
was picked up in the water in a half-oonsolous
state, suffering considerably from a wound in the
bead. On being brought ashore, however, he re
vived sufficiently to be able to tell hie name and
the name of the deceased engineer. He was una
ble, however, to give our reporter the names of
the pilot and deck hand.
The only vestiges of the ill-fated tow-boat whioh
remained were some pieces of the exploded boiler
which werrblown ashore and landed on the Buena.
street pier. As specimens of boiler iron these
fragments do not compare favorably with any we
have hitherto seen in use, being full of flaws and
extremely rotten in appearance.
Not a remnant of the propeller was discovered,
except a few pieces of broken timber, and even
these traces of the ill-fated boat soon floated off
with the tido and were lost to view. -
The dreadful effects of the explosion were wit
nessed by several hundred persona, and the great
en excitement was manifested by the spectators
for the safety of the unfortunate orew. Mr. Law-
ropes, the clerk of the Broadway, in &earthing
the scene, states that he observed the little pro •
potter going poet the pier, and heard the usual ea•
lutation from the titeam whistle; he swung his
handkerchief by way of recognition, when she in
stantly exploded.
The smoke pipe and fragments of the boat were
blown in all direotions ; beard a crash near him,
and, on turning his attention that way, saw the
dead body of a man, which bad fallen through
the deck. At a distance, floating in the water, h. e
discovered the fireman, whom he promptly res
cued, by means of a small boat, and subsequently
assisted in conveying him to the New York Hos-
pital.
No cause can be assigned for the explosion, for
the reason that there are none alive who could
throw any light upon the matter. , The engineer
was killed instantly, also the pilot and deck hand,
whose names are at present unknown; selhere re
mains no one to solve the mystery except the fire
man, Downey, and ho says he cannot account for
the accident at all.—New York Herald of yee

• Another Revolting Murder.
In the Fifteenth ward, between eight and nine o'clock
yesterday morning, a fracas occurred between several
Irishmen, at a email drinking house, which resulted in
the death of a laborer, named Wm. MoNeelia. The lo
cality of the occurrence was No 1709 Carlton street,
near Vine, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth. The
parties concerned were all acquaintances, but on Satur
day night, while under the influsnce of liquor, one of
them, named Barney Murray, struck McNeelis a violent
blow, which very much disfigured his face.
On yesterday morning. the parties again met at the
above-named tavern, which is kept by one Thomas
Boyle. Boyle, as it would appear, treated them all to
a single glass of spirits, when MeNeelie, who appears to
have still been intoxicated, boasted of his ability to
thrash Murray. The latter bad previously displayed a'
large knife, avid . Coming into collision with Mclerielis,
that Unfortunate person received the knife under the
ear, and fell dead upon the spot. The consequences of
the collision rather terrified the parties present, and a
doctor was sent for, but not until they had waited two
hours, in hope that the deceased had only been stunned.
As coon as it was ascertained that the result bed been
fatal, Murray speedily disappeared, and has not since
been taken. Boyle and Thompson. whose evidence be
fore the coroner we give below, ace held as witnesses.
The parties concerned are all . f a very low grade of
intelligence, as will be seett by the testimony. The

when testimony as minded was taken.
