Hon Henry Wilson, Vice President of the United States, was taken seriously ill this morning while dressing in the barber shop | of the Senate chamber at the Capitol. He Was not feeling at a'l well this morning, and | upon arriving at the Capitol, between 9 and 10 o'clock, thinking a sweat would do him gocil, he took a warm bath, being previously well rubbed by the attendant, anil also while in the bath. Subsequently, wafle dressing, (about 10 o’elock,) he was taken with waat Was supposed by the attendants to be A FAINTING PIT. Cold water was at once applied to his head, and he was rubbed with whisky and salt. A telegram was immetliately sent to the sur- geon general's office for medical aid. Mr. Wilson was removed to the consultation room of the Jndges of the Supreme Court as S00n as possible. He was entirely conscious from the first, and repeatedly asked for, and seemed anxious for the arrival of, Dr. J. H Baxter, (chief medical purveyor of the U. S. army.) who soon made his appearance, as did also Drs. Magrader, Ashford and several others, but Dr. Baxter was retained as the medical attendant by Mr. Wilson’s express desire. The Vice President is suffering from AN IRRITATION OF THE SPINAL COLUMN, causing @ very severe pain between the shoulders, but is buéyant and hopeful in spirits, notwithstanding. The cause of this severe attack is said to have been over- work and indigestion; but as there are no indications of an increase of the paralysis from which he has su‘Tered for the past year and a half, aud no marked brain symptoms, his piconet es expected, although it will necessarily be slow. At 2p. m. he still remained in the Supreme Court consultation room, it not being thought advisable to remove bim until more fully restored. PREPARING FOR A NIGHT AT THE CAPITOL. Dnring the afternoon the Capitol police, be ivg informed by the physicians that it would be some time before Mr. Wilson could be re moved from the building, went to the Wash. ington House and removed his bed and bed ding to the Vice-Presidents rooin at the Capitol. DISTINGUISHED CALLERS. At about twenty minutes to1 o'clock Post: master General Jewell, accompanied by Hon. Stephen W. Keliogg, of Connecticat entered the ante-room, but did not insist upon seeing Mr. Wilson, after being told by Dr. Baxter that it was highly important that the Vice President should remain un tis turbed, in order that he might get some sleep. ‘Soon atter Attorney General Pierce pont and Secretary Bristow maze their ap pearance, but in accordance with the wishes of Dr. Baxter did not see the Vice President. Chief Justice Waite and several other Judges of the Supreme Court also called Meanwhile the latter rey on & sofa tn tae north end of the consultation room eudeavor- ing tosleep. He was VERY NERVOUS, bowever, and did littie more than doze for a moment occasionally. Hebad the full use of bis arms and hands, although the latter were cold as well as his lower extremities. Helay comparatively quiet, however, but occa. sionally threw his arms over his head. He said bothing except when aske1 if he still suffered pain, when he replicd in the affirma tive. Senator Paddock, of Nebraska, sat by the sofa and was assiduous in bis atten tions. At 1.10 p. m. he was given A HYPODERMIC INJECTION in the shoulder by Dr. Baxter, a solution of morphine, which seemed to have protucad no effect, having previously been given. The injection seemed to de but little goc4, how ever, He was still restless and did not slee; over two minutes at a time, Dr. Baxter said that if he did not soon ge rest he would give him another suveuta neous injection. The pain between hi shoulders was now gone, but his fect anc hands continuing cold they were rubbe briskly with mustard and cayenne papp2r Produce more surface warmth. After the rubbing Dr. Baxter administere: &@ sub-cutancous injection of half a drachin of whisky, with very beneiicial effects. Th fymptoms soon after an to grow mor. favorable. His pulse, which thirty minute revious had been weak and irreguiar ecame regular and stronger, and the Doc‘o thought he would scon be well enough & remove to his room on the floor above. GETTING BETTER. Atabout a quarter past two o'clock Mr. C C. Sniffen, of the Executive mansion, came down and asked the Vice President if he would like to send any message to the Pres- ident, who is absent from the city. Mr.Wil- son feebly replied in the ‘tive, saying he thought he was getting better. minutes past two he was removed to the Vice President's room, where his bed had been pared. two Dr tea and left foran an hour. He states that be sees no reason to apprehend Googe “in the Vice President’s case. There is no’ ing in his symptoms toinuicate brain lesion, nor is there anything in the symptoms indi eating an increase in the paralysis with which the Vice President was attac! some time since. At twenty minutes to three o'clock the Vice President was free from pain, and was resting quietly. PARTICULARS OF HIS CAREER. Henry Wilson was born at Farmington, New Hampshire, February 16, 1812, and hay- ing learned the shoemaking trade, he saved enough money, by working at Natick, Mas- sachuretts, to enable him to receive instruc tion for two or three years at ‘academies at Cencord, Stafford, and Wolfsborough, New Hampshire. In 1838he returned to Natick, and to his trade. In 1840 he took an active rt in the Presidential canvass, advocating the election of General Harrison. From 1310 to 1°45 be was constantly ® member of the state. legislature, three times in the house and twice in the senate. He was well known as a decided oppovent of slavery, and at the national whig convention of 1818, of which he was a member, anti-siavery resolutions being rejected, he withdrew, and was active in geen the free-soil party. He pur- chased at this time the Boston in, & dail cry: which he edited for two years. In 1% and 1352 he was president of the Mas- sachusetis state senate; in 1852, president of the national free-soil conveutioa at Pittsburgh; in 1853, a member of the state constitutional convention, the free-soil candidate for governor. In 1855 he was elected to the United States nd in 1872 was made Vice President 4 The Carning of the Steamer Waco. THE FATE OF THE CREW AND PASSENGSES UNKNOWN. In yesterday's STAR was published the an- nouncement that the steamshipCity of Waco, of the New York and Galveston line, had been burned off Galveston. The passengers on board, numbering twenty, escaj in boats with the officers and crewfrom the burn- ing ship, bat owing to the high sea no as- | sistance’ could be rendered by Vessels lyin in the vicinity, and the boats were forced away from the port and-down the coast. A steam tug was sent out to cruise a! the ccast in Search of them. Up to ten o'clock last evening no tidings had reached Galves- ton concerning them. There is no reliable information to be obtained as to THE ORIGIN OF THE FiRR. There were heavy showers of rain early in the dight, with occasional lightning. Some think the ship was struck by lightuing, and baving a considerable quantity of oll on board the flames could not be extinguished There is much dissatisfaction expressed at the conduct of the officers and men on other vessels which were lying in sight, and a num- ber of them were lying near the burning steamer, With the exception of efforts made by the Fusiyuma, there does not appear to baye been anything done toward saving those on the Waco. Their excuse is the ter rible sea which would have swamped their boats had they succeeded in launching them STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE PAS- SENGERS AND CREW. From all the information possible to be obtained up to 10 o'clock last nigh?, itseems the Waco was lying with head to the gale. and the fire, which first appeared forward on deck, had caught in the large quantity of oll, Swept over the vessel, buraing everything before it. Fifteen vessels were lying at anchor, thirteen of which were to the lee. ward of the Waco. The supposition is, if any of the passengers or crew had appeared afton the ‘vessel, on deck. or any boats had been launched, they would bave been seen by some other vessels, none of which cau confirm the first rumors of seeing the boats pass through the fleet. The impression is now gaining ground that not a soul on board the ill-fated vessel is alive. The City of ‘Waco was au iron screw steamship of 1.500 tons burthen, valued at 3150,000, and was partially insured in New York and Earope he was three-quarters full of freight of general merchandise, which was valued at $100,000.

She left New York for Galveston Sat- urday, October 30, commanded by Captain Greepman, an experienced officer who has been employed by Mallory & Co. for the last twenty years. She carried a crew of thirty men, including officers. THE PASSENGER LIST numbered twenty in the cabin and steerage Her cabin passengers were: Miss Mocling Mr. Rogers and wife, H.

DEATH oF A Notan_e Lapy.— Mrs. Marie Antoinette Tidball died at the resi dence of her sen, Col. Geo. H. Ringgold, paymaster of the United States army, in San Francisco, Cal..on the 27th of October. The San Franciseo Alta states that her maiden name was Hay, and that she was a native of Richmond, Va. She was well educated, beautiful and accomplished. and was @ favorite with Mrs. President Madison, and she is one of the few who have been married in the White House. General Samuel Ringgold, of Fountain Rock, Md., who possessed a vast estate and lived in grand style, beeame her husband in 1313. He ad numerous horse? and hounds, and fox- hunting was a common amusement with him and bis guests. Gen. Ringgold died iu 1829, leaving five children, one of whom oc eupied a distinguished position in the public service as an officer in the Mexican war, and one acommander in the navy. In 1832 she married R. M. Tidball, of Winchester, Va., and after his deathshe made her home in San Francisco with her son. She had spent much of her life, from 1819 to 1840, in Wash. ington, where she was the centré of an a4 miring circle, and where she had opportuni- Ues to become acquainted with many of the men most prominent in the governmeat Her observation was acute, her memory ex cellent, and ber conversational talents bril- liant, so that her company was always en- joyable. NOVEL CONCLUSION OF A_BIGAMY TRIAL.—The case of state vs. James H. Westcott, for bigamy, was tried yesterday. Westcott is a young carpenter of consider- able ingenuity who came from Jersey City, where his parents still reside. In i873 he marricd Anna N. Smith, of Jamaica, L. I., and in 1814 Ellen Albee, of Branfurd. The defence admitted the two marriages, but be- fended the accused from punishment on the oS insanity. It was proved that ne ad been confined in the as: jam on Waril’s Islands, New York, and in the Middletown asylum in this state.

Involuntary applause greeted this announcement, but the specta tors were quickly called to order by the sheriff. Upon receipt of the verdict the state attorney moved that Westcott be committei to the state hospital for the insane, which = court —New Haven Palladiun, Nov. 5. VIEWS OF SENATOR MoRTON.—Seuator Morton, of Indiana, takes an encouraging view of the country’s future. He looks upon the recent elections as indicating that the people have become alarmed at the prospect of the ee ae into the han: the democracy, a that they clearly ind: cated their unwillingness to aid in such a result. He also says :—‘“I believe that the business of the country will revive, that con- fidence is returning. Business men of the country have but little faith in the ability or integrity of the democratic party in their management of financial or economic ques tions, and the spect of the continued ascendency of the blican party is o: itself an element of returning hope and con- fidence. Whatever diversity of opinion ther: may bave been in the republican party as to measures, there is none as to its purpose to maintain the public faith. and to execute the ledges and promises which have been made government in a time of war and public pecessit, —— THE FLEVATED (Greenwich street) rail in New York was opened Monday morn- ing for travel over the new extension to 4%) street.

Stanley describes fully in these letters his survey of the southern, eastern and northeastern SHORES OF THE VICTORIA NIYANZA. He gives thirty-seven observations of bays inlets and creeks, minutely explored with « view to determine their relation to the main body of water, and to exclude the possibility of their opening to other lakes or streams He fully exhibits and demonstrates the unity of this magnificent sheet of water. He says “Livingstone was wrong in reporting that the Victoria Niyanza consisted of fiv akon ia Ni Speke correctly states that the Victori: yanza isone lake.” Speke's two islands are proved by Stanley's observations to be pe ninsulas of the river Shimeyn; one observa- tion further confirms Ube great importance of the river Shimeyn as the principal feeder of the lake and the extremest source of the Nile yet discovered. Stanley had several CONFLICTS WITH THE SLAVE DEALERS on the lake. On one occasion he was at- tacked by 100 natives, armed with spears, in 13 canoes. Who were repulsed, after a severe fight.
