Wreck of the Stenmer Anglo-Saxon off Cape Race—Great Loss of Life. Sigconze: N. F., April 27, (via Port Hood)— The¥teamer Anglo-Saxon, which sailed from Liverpool on the 16th, with 360 passengers and achip’s crew oft4men, making a total of 444 souls, was wrecked four miles east of Cape Race, at m to-day during a dense fog. Seventy-three persons escaped from the wreck by ropes and spars, and twenty-four mere in No. 2v life-poat, making a total saved of ninety-seyen. Hoais Nos.4and 6 have not yet arrived off Cape Race in consequence of the density of the fog, and seven more persons who embarked on a raft are also missing. ‘There is still a heavy cea and a dense fog. The commander is supposed to be among the ‘drowned. The purser, firstand second engi- neers and doctor are saved. Lieut. Sampson, of the Royal Artillery, Hon. John Youngand jelly, are supposed to be in one of the missing ats. The deck of the steamer broke up about an hour after the ship struek, and nothing but her Mizzenmast was left standing. Several persons clung to the fore-rigging till the foremast fell, but no assistance could be rendered them. Guns are being fired ut Cape Race to attract the attention of the missing boats. RESCUE OF NINETY PERSONS BY THE STEAMER bd DAUNTLE: St. Jouns, N. F., April 28.—The steamer Dauntless this morning picked up the twaMife- boats of the Anglo-Saxon, containing ninety persons.

New York, April 2€.—Vera Crux advices of the Sth, per hark Trowbridge, state that the Mexican guerrillas had captured a camp of railroud luborers near Vera Cruz, destroying or carrying off all the*property there. Several other simiiur camps near Tejeira were also captured and sacked, and some 4 laborers i killed and 50 or 60 weunded. it was stated that the French were making very slight progress in Mexico. A small fort near Puebla had been captnred witha loss to the French army of over 700 men. A heavy storm recently occurred at Vera | Cruz, which destroyed over $20,000 worth of | French stores. Reinforcements for the French | army were continually arriving however, | eS Sig eee ee The Camden and Amboy Railroad.

Rebel Raid upon the Baltimore and Ohio Ruilroad—Attacks and Skirmishes at Va- rious Piaces—Rumored Raid into Penn- syl ae The Baltimore Sun of this morning says re- lative to the recentretvel demonstration in West- ern Virginia: It appears that the first intimation of any movement northward in Western Virginia w- wards the line of the Baltimore and Ohio road was an atrack at Beverly, in the Cheat Moun- tains, some fifty miles south of Grafton, upon several companies of Federal troops, under Col. Latham, by a cavalry torce, with artillery. Rumor soon followed that Clarksburg, on the Parkersburg read, in Harrison county, and Grafton, the junction of the Wheelingand Par- kersburg road, 1G miles distant from vither place, were tureatened by the Confederates in force. Military moyements were premptly made, however, under Gen. Schenck’s orders, to meet thesupposedemergency. Inthe mean- time this excitement subsided, and rumors arose of another body of Confederates moving from the Valley of Virginia to the west, by way of Moortield, perhaps, and possibly threat- ening New Creek Station, between Cumberland and Piedmont, and east of the mountains, or perhaps intending to co-operate with the force that had appeared at Beverly. It is said that no demonstration, however, occurred at any point from Thursday until Sunday morning, when, between tenandeleyen o'clock, about 200 Confederate eavalry, said to be under a Col. McDonald, suddenly appeared at Altamont, at the head of the Piedmont grade, 17 miles west of that place, where they attacked and took possession of an engine and small train of empty coal cars on their way to 0’ Don- nell’s Newburg gas coal mines. As soon as this party appeared at Altamont the telegraph wires were cut, and all commu- nication west cf the Piedmont office ceased. By way of Whecling, however, it was learned that equadrons of cavalry appeared almost simultaneously at Oakland, Cranberry Sum- mitand Rowlesburg, the three stations next west of Altamont, although, as far as it is known, the aggregate of all these forces hardly | exceeded some five hundred men. At Rowles- burg, which was the most important point at- tacked, fiye companies of Federal troops were posted, and detended the place throughout the |. afternoon. At Cranberry Summit, 11 miles east of Rowlesburg, the telegraph wires were aleo cut and several rails of thé track taken up. Considerable anxiety is felt about the con- dition of affairs at Grafton, which 1s the most important station between Wheeling and Pied- mont, being the junction of the Parkersburg d. Trond. Col. Mulligan, of Lexington fame, was in cemmand there on Sunday, with a consider- able force, and being attacked on Monday in the neighborhood, drove the Confederates to the southward, since which nothing has been heard of the situation there. Major General S:henck received dispatches from Pittsburg yesterday evening, stating that ithad been positively ascertained that a force of Contede! s were then at Morgantown, and that the military arrangements had been so perfected that their capture was deemed certain. The heavy and valuable equipment of the Baltimore und Obio Railroad in engines and cars of all descriptions was promptly moved at the first sign of danger from Newburg, Graf- ton, and other engine stations in the threntened district, to Whecling. The Northwestern Virginia Railroad, it ap- pears, has been a sufferer in the present raid. Gen. Schenck received information at @ late hour on Monday nigh: from Clarksburg, on that read, announcing the fact that from a deemed military | about the 19th of March. ing property. atall important points. The Rebels have been driven off from Rowle-burg, having met with another severe repulse on Monday. They, how- ever, euccreded in destroying the Youihiogany bridge near Uakland, alow trussel work struc- ture. A large force of workmen were immoedi- ately put on by the company, and it will be Teaoy for the paseage of trains at noon to-day. ‘The att mpi of the Rebels to get to the great Cheat River vizduct, which was douhsless the main ot ject of the visit, has signally failed througi: the brave defence of the troops sta- tioned at Rewlesburg. The locomotive and train, which was started ‘West on Sunday by the Kebels from Altamont, with 10 one on it, stopped of its own aceord at Oakland, having done no damage or received any. : There is also reported to be a considerable rebel force in the vicinity of Strasburg, about twelve miles from Winchester. There seems to be no doubt that a considerable movement has been made towards the Upper Potomac and Western Virginia, doubtless with the same object ae similar movements last year, which ‘Were to distract the Army of the Potomac and create another panic at Washington. A report prevailed yesterday at Wheeling and Parkereburg that the rebel force which made the attack at Rowles»urg have crossed the line of the road and moved through the mcuntains towards the Pennsylvania Central Read, with the intent of desttoying some of the bridges. As to the rumors of an attempt of the rebels to cross into Maryland, they are of course un- founded. The river is now too high to be forded anywhere @mept at White’s and Ed- wards’ Ferry, which are in the neighborhood of Leesburg At both of these Ferries there are strong earthworks, well mounted and gar- risoned. Major General Schenck, with Generals Kelly and Milroy, are actively at work with suffi- cient force to counteract the movements of the enemy. . +02 + LOCAL NEW: = > EXxaMInaTion OF MCNAvGuton—He is Dis- chorged.— Yesterday afternoon, the examination of J.F. C. McNaughton, who was charged with robbing the effects ef Lieut. Lewis Gra- hum, on the 19th March, while he was dying, was concluded before Justice Ferguson, and resulted in the dismissal of the accused. Mr. Barrick was cross-examined by Mr. Bredley in reference to his suspicions, but no new fact was brought out. The testimony for the prosecntion here closed, and the defence called. Mrs. Margaret E. Cooly, (sister of McNaugh- ton,) testifi'd that she went to Falmonth on the 13th of March, and on the 16th wrote to her brother to come Gown. On the eyening of the isth, (the day of the occurrence,) she heard trom # friend (Mrs. McUarthy) that he was at Falmouth Station. The witness did not see him. Lately she had received a letter written by her brother at Alexandria, March 2, in i. | which he states that he could not tind her at Falmouth, and was going to New York. (This testimony was introduced to expiain how McNaughton came to leave the city so suddenly after the robbery.} Airs. McCarthy testified to the good character of the prisoner, and to seeing him at Falmonth Geo. 5. Diffenderffer also testified to the good character of the pris- oner, The evidence here closed, and Messrs. Whar- ton and Bradley briefly argued the merits and | bearings of the case, contending that there was no evidence or suspicion on which he could be held, and that all the circumstances connected. with the movements of the accused could be readily accounted for. Justice Ferguson said that after considering ; all the evidence, he could not believe that Mc- Naughton was guilty of the charge, and dis- m™m: d him. It is stated that McNaughton abandoned his proper name"’ln New York, where he was ar- rested, and assumed that of Samuel J. Hope. eee A New Case—On Saturday night last as Mr. Charles B, Wright was in one of the Navy Yard cars, he found on the seat of the cara pocket-book containing $11 and a book, which the conductor (Mr. Venable) yery proper: claimed under the rules of the company, chick provides that all articles found in ‘the cars shall be taken in charge by the conductor and deposited in the office of the company, and that they shall at stated times advertise ail such articles. Mr. Wright retused to give them up: but went to the oflice of the company at the Navy Yard, showed the articles, and left his name and address in case the loser should apply for them, and at the same time he offered to advertise them The company yesterday made a formal demand for the arti- clez, which Mr. Wright refused to surrender unless the owner came forward and identified them: and this morning @ warrant was obtained charging Mr. Wright with the larceny of the articles, on which he was arrested by Officer Paiker and taken before Justice McKenna, who ordered him to give bail for court, which he retused to do, and was committed to jail in default. There is an eyident propriety in articles left in the cars being retained at the company’s Office, subject to the demand of the owner, who is certain to look in that direction for the mis- — BIBvESocreT At the meeting of the Wash- ington City Bible Society Monday atternoon, in consequence of the vacancy caused by the decease of the President, Mr. Join P. ingle, A.N. Zevely, Esq., Assistant Postmister Gen- eral, wes called to the chair, and Rey. Dr. Smith, on invitation, led in prayer. It was resolved to hold the anniversary on the last Monday in May,and a committee, con- sisting of M. H. Miller, C. H. Lane and 0. ©. Wight, was appointed to make the necessary arrangements. A committee, consisting of Wm. Ballantyne, Johu ©. Harkness, A. Rothrock, O. C. Wight ard E.L. Childs, was appointed to nowini officers of the society tor the ensuing year, to report on the day of the unuiversary. The statement of the depository was pre- sented, which showed, among otherinter-stin 5 facte, that the issues from the depository, No. 4¢e Seventh street, had, during the last tcwetve mocths, exceeded £1,000 volumes of the Scrip~ tures. The account to March 3ist of this, with the Parent Society, was also presented, exhib- iting a balance due of $932, and demonstratin; the necessity for special efforts to remove this indebtedness and to provide funds for foture purchases. Adjourned to the last M. jay in May. ACCIDENT.—Abont noon Monday, as Mr. Z. D. Kelien, foreman under Mr. Padgett, at the Navy Yard, was engaged in superinteudius the pile driviag on the western side of th» Yard, preparatory to the erection of a crane, he was seyerely injured. The driver was being drawn up when, from some cause, the nippers attached to the weight flew out of place and struck Mr. Kellen, who was standing near by, in the face, splitting his nose and tearing the fiesh on the left side of his face ing horrible manner, at the same time kmocking him from his positien into the water. He was at one rescued, and atter his wounds were dressed removed to his residence, on Ninth streetnear {, itis feared that he is also internally injured. psi cee nk Av THEIR OLD TxIcKks.—Monday, as Mr. John Hess, with other workmen, were in rh “Brick’ on Pennsylvania ayenue near Ni: street east, which he is fitting up as a r-beor siloon, Annie Wilson and Cornelia Tyler, wh» were a short time since routed out by the poli-» tor keeping it as a house of ill fame, got in the building with some soldiers, and proceeded w By. their old vocation in the old place.
