BTRUCTION OF A FERRYBOAT. </ Scenes—Narrow Escape of the Pas- and Gentlemen Seek Safety Overbourd—They are All Res- &e. minutes past seven last ovening, as the Idaho, of the Brooklyn Ferry Company, was the slip, foot of South Seveuth street, E. D., for ‘ork, flames suddenly burst forth from the centre from some cause at present unknown, and the fearful excitement immediately pervaded the crew passengers on board, and with good reason, aa they od with fearful rapidity. wrtunatoly there were only about thirty passengers joard at the time, or the loss of life would doubtless e been fearful. As it was, those on board were res- 4 with great difficulty, fhe ferry boat Canada, of the Division avenue and tnd street line, belonging to the same company, was ckily approaching the dock when the fire broke out on yard the Idaho, and her pilot promptly ran ber along- do the burning boat and took off her passongors. This ras done amid the utmost excitement and danger, In- leed, the flames spread so rapidly on board the Idaho that the officers of the Canada were approhonsive of being engulfed in them, and drew off, leaving several persons to their fate, ‘Those left on the burning boat were Michael Cormick, of 96 Fourth street; Mrs. Mary Wood, of 49 Bedford street, New York ; James O'Neil), engineer; James Kelly, deckband, and Mrs. Pauline Dorfor, of Bergen,N.J. There imperilied persons acted most heroically, and looked death in the face with the composure of martyra. Engi- neer O'Neill, seeing no possibility of saving the boat, gathering those on board about him, stated succinctly the situation and pointed out the only means of safety, ‘which was by jumping into the river, with the possi- bility of being rescued by several boats then in the vicinity. A glience was sufficient to convince all that this was the only means of escape from « horrible death, and, joining hands, they took the fearfal leap. O’Neil's heroism on this occasion deserves immortality. Inhis efforts to save life he was severely burned about the face and hands. By his hercuiean and noble efforts those who committed their lives to hiscare in the treacherous waters of the East river were saved and Drought safely on shore. It ts understood that the husband of Mra Wood and ber four children wore on board the Idaho at the time ho took fire, and got on board the Canada in safety. A number of parties in small boats rescued those who jumped overboard, and they received prompt attention by the citizens when brought on shore. After the burntog boat was abandoned she drifted up but all efforts proved unavailing to extinguish the flames, ‘and the Idaho drifted to Greenpoint, burned to the water's edge and sunk. Her value was avout $60,000 and it is said that there was no insurance upon ber. During the fire « man, named James Turley, aged twonty-cight, residing at the corner of Third and Lewis streets, went to #60 tho sight, and stumbied over a log on the South Fourth street pier, breaking his ieg He was convey ed@to the horpital, FINE ARTS. — Leutze's fine picture, “Queen Mary's First me at Holyrood after ber Return from France," painted for and i the possession of John A.

Thejdea of preferring articles of impeach- ment against President, although perseveringly discussed, is lly regarded by leading men here of all parties as whdly inadvisable, if at all practicable, ana it is thought the proposition will not be even so- riously entertai: much less be supported, by a score of members of the House of Representatives. It is understgod that bills will be introduced at the coming session of Congress to abridge the pardoning power of the executive so far as to withdraw from him the authority to pardon any but those who have been tried and conviged. It is also said that-a bill will be presented removing from the President the authority to appoint the Suptrintendent of Public Printing. The Presiden’s Message and Departmental Reports. The President will authorize printed copies of his mes- sage to be sent by mail to the press to-morrow, The reports of the several heads of departments and the chiefs of the several bureaus are in a state of greater forwardness than ever heretofore previous to the sos- sion of Congress. Some of them are partly in print and the others nearly ready for the printer. The Secretary of the Treasury has finished his report, {t is short and pointed. Reported Cause of the Excitement in Finan- celal Circles. An able financier who has access to information in the United States Tréasury here, slates that the prosent pres- sure in the money market and the downward tendency of prices is owing to the demand of the Secretary of the Treasury upon the national banks for the government funds on deposit, During the past fow months the na tional banks have made largo loaus on call to operators tn the Eastern cities and other manufacturing and com- mercial centres. When the Secretary drew on the na- tional banks and authorized depositaries for the funds deposited with them by collectors of internal revenue tax, the banks were obliged to call in the loans made to operators, who, having the money tied up in largo stocks of goods, were in turn forced to push the goods ‘upon an unwilling market, The banks, however, suc- ceeded in honoring the drafts of the government by be- ing permitted, in some instances, when it was necessary, ‘to satisfy these drafts partially with compound interest notes, The announcement is now made that the gov- ernment has ceased drawing on its balances in the na- tional banks for the ‘present, although nothing is indi- cated as to how long the abstinence will continue. The Investigations of the Retrenchment Com- mittee. The Retrenchment Committee were in session the greater portion of to-day. The committee’s business is still confined to the examining of cotton frauds. The more these frauds are looked into the more fearful they become in magnitude. The committee will continue their examination of these frauds tor several days yet, when they will turn their attention to the different de. partments of the government having their heads in this city. Specalations in Regard to Mexican Affairs. It has been ascertained that Maximilian's tenacity in holding on to Mexico has been due to the expectation encouraged by the reports of his late agent in the Unitea States, Mariano Degollado, who has just returned to Mexico, that a now civil war was on the ove of break- ing out im the United States, end that this would certainly be the case if the radicals carried the fall olec- tions. It is expected that all visionaries are now disap- pointed. The fact is known here that Degollado could not obtain audiences either with President Johnson or Secretary Seward while in the United States, all his efforts to have them having failed, notwithstanding his statements to the contrary, Parties here differ groatly about Mexican affairs. Those who sympathize with the conservative or imperial gov- ernment in Merioo piace no confidence in the many de- spatohes and letters purporting to come from that coun- try. The Juarez party avow that they have late intel ligence from Chihuahua, at £1 Paso, that the liberal gov- ornmont ie still in the ascendant, Juarez still being on the South side of the river. It is currently reported that Sonora ts still true to the republic and Peaqueira Gov- erpor. Our C Agninst England. Nothing definite has yot been received from the British government in relation to the claims for indemoity growing out of the depredations committed on American commerce by the Alabama and other rebel privateers. The correspondence is still in progress between the two governments. The preseut British Ministry, how- ever, show @ better disposition than the former one in the consideration of the important subject, The French Minlster- Although Minister Monthoion bas not been oMcially advised of the intention of the French government to transfer him to Lisbon in the game official capacity, there seems to be no doubt of the fact that such a change will soon be made. This will be @ promotion, according to the European standard, as the duties there will be lighter, tho salary higher and the distance to Paris shorter than from Wash- ington. It will bo remembered that Count Sartiges ‘and Lord Napier were similarly promoted some years ago, having been transferred by their respective gov- eraments from Washington to the Hague, Permiestou Not Granted to Jake Thompson to Retura to this Country. A statement bas been published that the President has given to Mrs. Thompson permission for her basband, Jacob Thompson, to return home, This ts untrue, He Positively refused to give any such permission, but said Thompson must take the consequences of returuing like other prominent rebels still abroad.

Broadway Theatre. ‘The management of this popular theatre deserves much credit for presenting td its patrons one of the best of the old English comedies, aud of having the pretty ‘ead clever actress, Miss Kate Reignolda, to support Mr. Charles Dillon in the fourth week of his successful @agagement, The vivacious comedy of The Wonder was given last evening with Mr, Dillon as Don \Felix and Miss Roignolds as Violante, toa very fair house, and was warmly received, Mr, James E.

Signor Farini gave his concert at this theatre last night, where a large and enthusiastic, but by no means critical, andience assembled to greet him. The enter. tainment opened with Neeb’s ‘Liberty Hyma,” which was sung by the Colona Society, and hardiy merited the ‘applause accorded to it, ag ite execution lacked spirit. Mr. Mullenhauer’s rendering of “Sounds from the Alps’ was very fine, and showed thé perfect mastery he pos- sesses over hia instrument, each tone being given with a clearness and distinctness refreshing to hear. Madamo Jobannsen’s voice dees uot possess that power and fresh- ness for which she used to be such # favorite, but she is ® good musiciang and aang the bolero from Les Vépres Siciliennes very well. Signor Farini played a fantasio from Les Huguenots, and was loudly encored. He then gave the “Last ovo of Summer.” Mr, Pollack also as- sisted in the concert. Altogether the concert was good, and Mr. Farini may be congratulated upon ite success. Park Theatre, Brooklyn. Mrs. D. P. Bowers and Mr. J.C.
