TNE ELEVENTH of the Grand Army course of lectures will be delivered by Miss Olive Logan at Lincoln Hall this evening, her subject being “The Girls.” Miss Logan is lively, witty, and effective in her points, and there is no little curiosity to hear one who has occupied so large a share of the public attention for some time past. Tae St. Domirco Treaty.—The Senate went into Executive session at one o’clock to- day, and resumed the consideration of the San Domingo treaty. Mr. Schurz being entitled to the floor, addressed the Senate in opposition to the measure. It is said his argument was a masterly effort, and influenced several Senators, heretofore undecided, against the treaty. TRE LATEST PIECE OF MATRIMONIAL GossIP set affoat here is the reported engagement and probable speedy marriage of General Ames, Senator-elect from Mississippi, and Miss Blanche Butler, daughter of General Butler” The Grundy family are en the qui vive, in con- sequence, as the affair, when it comes off, is expected to produce quite a sensation in fash. ionable circles, GOLD SALEs IN Apnrtt.—Secretary Boutwell has directed Assistant Treasurer Folger at New York, to sell two millions of gold and purchase two millions of bonds, on account of the Sinking Fund, in the month of April; and, in addition thereto, to purchase two millions of bonds for the Special Fund, making in all a sale of two millions of gold, and a purchase of four millions of bonds for the month. Sznators Howard, Ramsey and Howe, the committee appointed by the recent Senate cau- cus to inquire into the official conduct of Mr. Gorham, Secretary of the Senate, met on Sat- urday, and heard several witnesses in relation tothe difficulty between Senator Cole and the Secretary. Both the gentlemen were present during the examination. The testimony taken was in relation to the alleged interference by Secretary Gorham in the matter of appoint- ments for the Pacitic coast. Mr. Balzer, the absconding revenue officer, has been heard from since his flight, through the medium of a letter received by Gen. Pleas- anton, his successor in office, on Friday last. It contains no allusion to himself, but merely con- gratulates Gen. P.and the country on the wis- dom displayedin filling the vacancy, thanks him for politeness heretofore shown, explains the status and pecuniary condition of some of his late subordinates, and expresses the ardent hope that those who are needy will not be disturbed in their places, as they were in no wise respon- sible for or cognizant of any irregularities in the Office. The letter was dropped in the city post office, and gives no clue to the writer’s where- abouts, but it is surmised that he is either con- cealed in New York, or at some accessible point, possibly beyond the Canada line, as he has evi- dently been kept fally advised, either through the daily papers or otherwise, of what has been done since his escape. Tae arm has been filled with gossip for several days past of impending changes in the Cabinet. The story goes that owing to a want of growing Secretary Boutwell, he looms as a formidable candidate for the , which has weakened the good relations heretofore existing between the Executive and himself, and that he will conse- quently withdraw from the Treasury Depart- ment with the view of placing himself in train- ing for the Senatorship now held by Mr. Wilson, and availing himself of such opportunity as may be presented in the campaign of 72. It is gos- sipped further that Attorney General Hoar will also retire at an early day, to be succeeded by Hon. Mr. Davis, now a Representative in Con- gress from New York. No other named specifically, but it is held that these will lead to the resignation of Secretary Cox and Postmaster General Creswell, and that an entire reorgamization of the Cabinet will be likely to follow.

The official publication of the evidence before the Naval Court of Inquiry at Yokehama, Japan, in reference to the collision between the U. S. steamer Oneida and the P. and O. steamer Bombay, was received at the Navy Department It covers 21 pages of closely printed matter, and will be transmitted to this morning. Congress. Inthe evidence given in this case Capt. Eyre concedes that he made the remark after this collision that he “believed he had taken the Oneida’s quarter gailery off.” Edward Newman, steward of the Bombay, testified that the carpenter of the Bombay po an said that the Oneida ‘-was strack hard,” that he saw bodies carried away on the Oneida atter the collision. Lieut. Clemens, of H. M. 8. that Capt. Eyre said to h the quarter of a Yankee trigate.” He said, “ serve her right, she erossed my bows with a starboard helm.” Lieut. Leventhorpe, of H. M.S. Ocean, testi- fied that in the same cojiversation, Capt. ae being present, some one remarked’ “ that they could see right mto the saloon of the Oneida” after the collision. George Wills, residing at the International Hotel, Yokobama, testified that the steward of the Bombay said in his presence that the car- nter of the Bombay told him that there had Been @ collision, and ‘that a hole had been in the other ship large enough to look into the cabin;” that Mr. Hamerton, third officer of the Bombay, who was present at the Interna- tional Hotei when the steward made this state- ment, was asked, ** Did you not stop?” Mr. Hamerton answered “No.” Capt. Hiltz then said, ‘Why not?” Mr. Hamerton made an- swer, “ I cannot say; that’s where the mistake It was testified to that the guns fired by the Oneida were heard by numerous parties in Yo- kohama, and that the Oneida’s steam whistle was blowing from the time of the collision until just before the ship sank; also that Mr. Stew- art, the executive officer of the Oneida, called out in a loud tone of voice to the Bombay, “Steamer, akoy! you have cut us down; re- main by us.” The decision given by the court was upon two questions before them. First.—Was the injury sustained by the Pe- ninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com- pany’s ship Bombay brought about by the fault of her commander, Mr. Eyre? Second.—After the collision had taken place between the steamship Bombay and the United States Corvette Oncida, what’ was the conduct of the master of the former vessel? Upon the first question the court decides that the damage which has been sustained by the Bombay is in no way attributable to the default of her Commander, Mr. Eyre. i As regards the secon: — which this court is called upon to decide, viz , the conduct of Mr. Evre after the.collision had take place, it may be observed that it has not been without long and serious deliberation among ourselves, and a most careful consideration of all the evi- dence adduced, that we have arrived at an unanimous decision. e We tind from the igi neegpr ay vy us Jem on a dark but starlight t, 24th of January last, the steamship Bombay, through ‘no fault of her commander, Mr. Eyre, came into col- lision with the United States corvette Oneida in the close vicinity of Saratoga Spit, situated some ten miles from Yokohama. That the ef- fect of this collision on the Bombay was com- paratively slight. That guns were fired from the Oneltia as signals of Sistress from ten to fifteen minutes after the collision took place. That the report of these guns was not heard, nor were the flashes seen on board the Boribay. ‘That after the collision, the fact of the Bombay having been hailed from the Oneida was re- to Mr. Eyre. That Mr. Eyre only knew that some of the upper works of the Oneida had been carried away, and was unaware of the amount of injury ‘sustained by her. That the Bombay was a mail steamer carrying passengers and cargo, and was built in compartments, only one of which was reported to him as making water fast. That the whole extent of the injury sustained by the Bombay was not ascertained till the day following the collision. That immediately after the collision it was not considered to be serious, for bad it been so, it is natural to suppose that the knowledge of the pilot would have been availed of and the Bombay run on to the Sara- That in our opinion no danger to the Bombay, her passenge: was —— i 6 Mr. Eyre. from the questions he asked the pilot, evidently thought that the Oneida might possi- bly have sustained serious injury. That he waited at the most five minutes afier the colli- sion to see if signals of distress were made from i after, i in promaeded no orders that” a’ foukout should ept in the direction of the Oneida. he or one else been keeping a proper lookout, the flash of the Oneida’s guns must have been seen, though their report might not have been heard. Under all these circumstances it becomes our duty to pronounce whether in our opinion Mr. Eyre was justified in proceeding on his voyage without waiting to ascertain whether the Onei: was in need of assistance. We ‘ize the fact that he was placed in a position of great difficulty and doubt, and in cir- cumstances under which he was decide promptly; but we regre on that he v- ering to render to the Oneida, he, without having reason te believe that his own — was ina perilous position, proceeded on voyage. This conduct constitutes, in our opinion, a breach of 33d section of 63d of the ter of Rockcliff. Minister De Long has sent copies of the of- ficial notes and evidence in the case of the Oneida to Senator Stewart for distribution to ‘the relatives of those on board. Mre.
