The nows of tho torriblo disaster to the stenmship Atlantic, on tho Novin Scotia coast, which occurred at 2 o'clock on the morning of April 1, will carry gloom into many o housohold in this country and Europo, none tho less polgnant or heart-rending bocauso the weight of tho Llow has fallon upon thoge in the humble walks of life. In almostan instant of time, ono of tho largest of oconu-going stoamships, con- structod of iron, builtin wator-tight compart. monts, and prosumed to bo model of strength and enfoty, strikos o rock, and gocs to tho Dbottom so ewiftly that meony of tho peassongers aro drowned in thoir berths. By tho marvelous endur- ancoand horoic spirit of tho Third Ofcer, Mr, Brady, who swam with s rope to a rock, two ‘hundrod and fifky mon wore saved, but the Lolp- less womon and childron wero all lost, and over soven hundred unfortunates wont down in darlk- ness and storm, tholr dying shricks and crios for Lelp lost in tho pitilss rush of tho galo. Words are feoblo to describo tho horrors of such o sceno. One of its most pitiablo features is the fact that most of tho viotims woro emigrants, on - thoir way Lo this country, to rojoin thoir fricuds from wlhom thoy had long beon separnted,— youug men of stout hearts and strong arms, socking homes in the Now World, full of hope and elation, and old mou, and women, and littlo children coming to spend thelr days loro, who paid thoir passago-monoy with tho defly and weolly pittances saved by the workingmen and womon in our Inrgo citics from thelr small wagos, aud forwardod to them, that thoy too might bot- tor thoir couditlon in life, If tho stoamship At- lantio iad boon filled with poople acoupying high gocial poaitions, mon and women of woalth and prominence and widely known, tho horror would Linve soomed atill greator, and tho public domand for a rigid investigation of the circumstances, sud an oxomplery punishment of thoso responsiblo for tho disaster, would havo beon irresistible. In this casy, Low- over, tho lurge majorlty of tho viotims were emigrants—poor fu purse, low in position, and unknown out of tho limits of their own littlo familios—and yot equal with those in the ostima- tion of that Providence which so mysteriously parmitted this disastor to occur, It is possible, thoroforo, that this digastor, liko that of tho Northfloot, may bo = sensation of two or threo dayg, and then, like - thot, bo forgotton, It in ouly theloss of 80 many unknown omigrants, whoso families nona of ue Imew, whoso namos wo should mnever recoguize, and whoso deaths mako no public stir—and yot, all over this coun- try and Europe, thoro are Lomed which sro plunged into #uddon and irromodiublo griof, It may Lo as yot too early to commont upon tho clrcumstances attonding this disastor, or to attempt to fix tho responsibllity upon any ono but there ero some facts apparent at & glanco which show & enlpablo negligonco of the anfoty of passengors, In tho firat place, it is suprining, in the presont porfoction of nautloal sulouco, that tho officors of tho Atlantio should have so farlost thelr rockoning ag to haye missed u Liarbor #o familiar as Halifax harbor {s presumod to bo to ocean commandors, and, mistakiuga light twonty $H9 BIl will pava tho | miles o on Cape Hhmbrg for tho light ot tho ontrance to tho harbor, have gono that far out of tho way. In thoso days of nautical sclonco, whon 1t is posaiblo to plnco o vossol within n milo and & hnlf of & givon spot in the mid- oconn, it sooma strango that tho Atlantio should not kave madoe tho harbor. If thoro was any uncortainty In the minds of tho oficors, by ronson of clouds or fogs, thoa it was tholr plain duty to hinvo romnined off tho const until dey- light could solve tholr doubts, If thore was no uncortninty in their minds, then thero wns guroly o radical and inoxoussllo error in tho rockonlng, which shonld not have oceurred, Bocond, when tho investigation of this disastor takos placo, thora can bo no doubt that it will bo shown that ono of ita principal cousos wns tho fainl polioy which provails in many of tho now oconn lines of making speod and shortnoss of time tho principal rocommendations for thoir boats. Tho instructions to make time, rogard- loss of dungor and somotimos ovon of ordinary preoaution,tit will probably bo found, contril- uted to tho loas of tho Atlautio ns much as any othor causo. Tho oldor lines, lke tho Cunord and North Gorman Lloyds, look only to strongih and safoty, and tho question of spood iy mndo secondary to those. Tho rosult is, thnt thoy make more monoy out of thelr strongth and safoty than the now Iines out of their spoed, and at the samo time thoy insuretho lives of tholr pnsrongors. Tho old Cunard Line, although it hina lost two of its minore stosmors, wo boliovo Ling not lost tho lives of any pagson- gors, " Third, o nro mot nwAro winmt mny cunstl- tuto tho spocific dutios of an ocoan pilot on one of tho stenmors of the White Star Line, or mny othor. Whatover thoy may be, tho rosponaibility of an aconn-golng stoamor rosts upon tho Cnp- tain, until tho coast pilot comos aboard ud takos clnrgo of the boat. The Coptain iy supreme in command. Upon such an ocension 09 thia, thoroforo, whon tho Captain of tho Atlan- tic liad decided’ to dovinte from his course and run into the harbor of Halifax for coal, knowing thnt the const was o dangerous omo, and more dangorous than ever on such o dark ond tompestuous night, ho should not havo given up his watch at midnight and rotired to oloop. Ho should bave remained at his post nll night, or at least until tho steamer -was mafoly within the harbor of Halifax, past all possibility of danger. 'Tho vory fact that the stoamor way going into Malifax to conl involves probably an- other causo of thodisastor. Bufficlont corlshould linve beon taken aboard at tho outsot for the vogago, notwithstanding tho high prico of conl in England. Coal happons to bocheapor at Hali- “fox than at any othor place, and so, probably for tho sako of a fow dollars, moro or loss, an insuf- flelont supply was laid 1n, and in tho attompt to got into Halifax bnbor, to procure more coal, tho vessel was loat, with its precious cargo of buman life, There can bo no doubt that the facts wo havo montlonod—tho fatal orrors in reckoning, the policy of making speod instead of safoly tho choractoristio of tho lino, tho nog- lcct of duty by the Coplain at an oxcoptionnl time, nnd the insufiiclont supply of coal—contributes to tho loss of this steamer, and tho rosponsibility for them must be catablished by official investigation, It will also bo a propor subject for this Iuvestigation to de~ termino the son-worthiness of the vessels of this Lo, Tho Atlantio was but two years old.

What guaranteo has tho publlo that theso atgo will not go to tha bottom b the vory first shoek ?
