      leave the steamer until all . the womea had gone . Just before she went down into the boat , her husband took her by the hand and bade her good by . He told her that he would try and meet her again , but that perhaps he should net be able . She never saw him again . Another woman tells a similarly painful story . ' "Of the twenty-eight children who were saved , the greater part were babies . The stewardess of tte steamer was a stout negro woman . She had collected the money thrown away by the passengers , it -was supposed , and buckled it around the body . The weight of this money ¦ wa s the cause of her . death , when she was hoisted into the Marine , where she died from having too much gold about her loins . One of the ladies placed her canary bird in her bosom on leaving the steamer , and preserved italife .

      " Some of the incidents described as occurring before or about the time of the vessel sinking are truly thrilling . One man , f loating in solitude , and terrified at his loneliness , after shouting himself hoarse to find a companion , saw at length a man with two life-preservers fastened about his body drifting towards him . . His heart leaped with joy at the welcome sight , for the feeling of desolation which had overcome him was terrible to endure . He called to the other to join him , if possible , and made every exertion to meet him half way . There was no reply , but the other drifted nearer and nearer . A wave threw them together ; they touched . The living , man shrieked in the face of a corpse . The other had been drowned by the dash of the billows , or had perished from exhaustion . "

      More failures have occurred at New York : the chief is that of Messrs . Cyrus W . Field and Co ., paper dealers , who have suspended until the return to America of the head partner . At the last advices from the United States , that gentleman -was believed to be on his passage home from England . The Huguenot Bank has resumed payment . Several commercial suspensions are reported from Philadelphia , Taunton ( Massachusetts ) , Boston , and other places , owing , It i& thought , to the great drain of money from them to "New York , to meet the recent crisis there . The loss of the money on board the Central America has increased the embarrassment felt in the great commercial towns . Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Mexican Government in connexion with the question of the Tehuantepec transit route .

      The erection of the sternpost of the Russian frigate General-Admiral , now being built at New York , was inaugurated by a dinner given at the hotel of the Russian Minister . A large meeting- of Irishmen has taken place at New York , to express their opposition to British recruiting in the United States for th « war in India , and sympathy with the Sepoy mutiny . The N ' ew York Herald points out an instance of immorality in the shape of the following advertisement published in the state of New York : — " This certifies that Mr . George W . Leivis and Mi

      they are truly married ; that they live for each other henceforward and for ever , providing , the , , affinity continues to , exist . And if not—if that affinity which the God , of Nature designed to unite ¦ man and woman , diminishes or ceases to . exist—they , hold , themselves perfectly free and at liberty to separate , if they choose to do so ; that they throw aside the legal , contract altogether , knowing it to be a' curse and a , nuisancebelieving it to be the means of burning out and destrpying the very love and , affinity that should unite all mankir . d in the conjugal relations . And in testimony of which we subscribe our names—George W . I , ewis ; Harriet Wheeler Lewis . * ' The journalist states that this is not a solitary instance , and that the prevalence of suqh opinions is . owing to the spread of Fourierism .

      infliction of the number of lashes requisite to extract from him an admission , of his guilt . " In Kansas , Governor Walker has issued a prodama * tion in regard to the October election . Jn this document the Governor expressly and explicitly repudiates the , doctrine set forth by Judge Cato , that none but those who have paid the territorial tax are entitled to vote , and for this position he has the direct authority of the President , the Secretary of State , and the whole cabinet at Washington . He calls upon every bonajide inhabitant of the territory , who is a citizen of _ the United States , and has been for six months a . resident of the territory , to go to the polls and vote , and pledges the employment of the federal troops to prevent the intervention of invaders from Missouri or elsewhere .

      Maine appears to have chosen an entirely Republican Senate ( 31 ) , and a . House containing- 113 Republicans to 38 of all sorts , including 6 unheard from .

      IRELAND . The Roman Caxhoijcs and tub Indian Fund . —A letter has been addressed by Dr . CuIIen , the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin , to his Yicar-Generul , the Very Rev . Monsignore Yor « , dated September 2 5 th , and expressing sympathy with the movement in Ireland in aid of the Indian fund , but at the same time advising inquiry into the way in which the fqnd is to be ad-, ministered , as , according to the Archbishop , the granting of relief to the widows of soldiers dying in the Crimean war was turned into a means of proselytizing . The Roman Catholics , he says , were not properly relieved ; the fund was always administered by a Protestant ' parson ; ' and he l generally selected a Protestant church or vestry as the place for doling out' relief to Roman

      Catholic widows , who were thus compelled to violate their consciences- The Archbishop concludes : — ' * I am most anxious that everything should-be done to relieve the sufferers in India : let us , however , have some security that the funds collected will not be applied to the foundation of Protestant asylums for the perversion of poor Catholic orphans . The management of the Patriotic Fund shows how necessary it is for us to be cautious . The continual complaints of Catholic bishops and missionaries in India about the attempts made by the East India Company to proselytizo should increase our

      alarm . Read Dr . Fenelly ' s late pamphlet , and you will see . to what an extent that company has attempted to promote Protestantism by perverting the orphans of Irish Catholic soldiers . - It appears to me that the proper time for eoming to a fair understanding about these ' matters is beforo : any fund is collected . " Lord St * Leonards , one > of the administrators of tlio Patriotic Fund , has . written . to the Times ; to deny the truth- -of these statements ; and the Duke of Norfolk has written ' to Lord St . Leonards to confirm the statements of Dr . Cullen . : ¦¦ ., : .. . ¦ - . . ... . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ > .

      The Irish Goveknsient ant > the Orange Society —The Lord-Chancellor'has addressed a letter to the Marqriis of Londonderry , Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Down , in which , alluding' to the recent disturbances at Belfast , he writes :- —" TheOrange Society is mainly instrumental iii keeping up this excitement . As it is manifest that the existence of this society and the conduct of many of those who belong to it tend to keep up through , large districts of the North a spirit of bitter and vicious ' hostility among large classes of her Majesty ' s subjects , and to provoke violent anthiosity and aggression , it is impossible rightly to regard an association such as this as one which ought to receive countenance from : any m-authority who are responsible ^ or the preservation of the public peace . It does appear to me that the interests of the public , at least-ia . the North of Ireland , now require that no aucli encouragement should be given to this society by the appointment of : any gentleman to the conrmissioa -who is or intends to become a member of it , intending-the rule to be of general application . " These views , it b addad , have the full concurrence of tlie Lord-Liieutenant . - . -
