But the govern- ment itself credits the HERALp’s despatches and is furnished with them regularly.

The corre- epondent of the American paper who so obligingly furnished the London press with “the latest news” from Abyssinia, most probably accepts the commu- nication as true and has no way of testing its ac- euracy; but there is intrinsic evidence, we think, that ‘the intelligence which the telegram purports to give 4s not true. ‘The latest news from Sir R.

Serions View of the New Natarnlisat Treaty—Mr. Bancrefts Treaty Making Power—Who Are American Residents in German Towns t=Internal Peace—Ameri- can Bond Sales and Opinion of Ame: ance—The Southern Elections. PRANKFORT, April 4, 1868, It appears that the Americans have committed the same mistake as the Germans did in 1848, by entrust- ing to learned men the management of public af- fairs. Mr. Bancroft might be a celebrated hirtorian, very competent to give an opinion om events of the past, and stil! not practical enough to deal with a complicated question, implying a great variety of interests. The American residents in our town are in great aiarm about the naturalization treaty. | must first state who these residents are. They are either bankers, doing a large business in American stocks and shares, or importers of foreign goods, baying German manufactures, all of them having thelr prin- cipal establishments at New York. Besides these are some staying here for the benefit of r health and visiting, in summer, the mineral eprings in the neighborhood. All these families are now pot under — the tender mercies of the Prussian government by losing their nationality after two years’ residence in Germany, These people, by upholding the commercial inter- course, are quite as useful citizens of the United States as if they resided in some part of the Union; and still they and their grown-up boys are liable to Prussian military service. They are therefore com- pelled to shut up their establishments here, to the it detriment of international intercourse, if Mr. ncroft’s mistake is not set right by some ulterior diplomatic act. There is another article in the treaty wanting explanation. It is not tlear whether a Ger- man einigrant, in order to be recognized a8 an American citizen, must be naturalized, and then have restded for five years in the States; only such persons would then be safe in this country who have Tesided for ten years in the States. These are mo- Mentous questions for a large number of American citizens, deserving the fullest consideration of the public press, Things look now very peaceable on this side of the water, and there is not a shadow of truth in all the ay about complications in the Schleswig question, ‘he difference between that which Prussia concedes and Denmark might justly claim does not amount to @ population of 40,000 sou! pens nobody in bis senses can believe that careworn Austria or iso ated France will throw the gauntlet to Prussia. With regard to Duppel and Alsen, the strong military positions, the European Powers are perfectly aware that nothing short of war can wrest them from Prussia, and they have certainly no such intention now, when they are engaged in completing their raliway systems by the greatest exertions. In fact all governments are now contracting or guaranteeing loans for the construc- tion of railways, and a8 many as five have been sub- seribed for in this week at our Bourse—for Russia, Bavaria, Khenish Prussia, Styria and Wurtem} besides loans for public buildings in the ¢ Florence and Liege. All this is oniy possible in a time of profound pea and all governments are, therefore, bound to behave in a manner to quell the hitherto prevatling mistrust, By the cheering prospect of peace trade has re and milie and nufactories have again re: i full work.

The Old Colony Steamer Ashore at Hart’s Island—Fortanate Escape of the Passengers. At half-past four o’clock yesterday morning, while feeling her way in a dense fog through the Sound, the steamer Old Colony, of the Fall River line, ran at low water on the point of land which joins the southeast end of Hart’s Island, tearing away, as far as is known, a portion of the planking, but leaving her framework intact. The pilot had mistaken Nis course, it is said, by about half a point, and before he could fully check the speed of the boat she ran bow on to the shore until her forward part was liffed clean out of the water, leaving the stern immersed in it about three fathoms. It was exceedingly calm, how: er, and no sea, else, from the exposed position of (ie point, the boat would have been beaten to ploccs nod rhaps many of her passengers, of whom there were about 300, have lost their lives, Fortunately, at about six o’clock, the pilot of the steamer Stonington—who was pursuing his ustal course on his way to this city, which skirts the point of land on which the Old Colony was stranded, where the water even close to the.shore is from seven to ten fathoms in depth—heard signals from a steam whistle and bells, and, stopping his engine, signalled in return, The result was that the Stoning- toa was steered close to the stern of the Old Color y, where she was made fast, and gang planks being. run out the passengers and baggage, without an ac- cident, haste or disorder, taken on board aud con- veyed to this city at ten A.

The boilers are two in number and of the tubular kind, having tm each boller sixty tubes or pipes, She is $10 feet in length, forty-three feet breadth of beam and fourteen feet three inches depth of hold. When loaded her draught is ten feet six inches, The Old Colony is substantially constructed of white oak and hemlock and fastened with copper, iron and tree naila, The saloon and cabin, magnificently upholstered, are on the promenade deck and are large and thoroughly ventilated, The point ef land on which the Old Colony ran ts exceedingly dangerous to vessels passing near Hart's Teland in a fog, storm, or when the ice chokes the East river, About four weeks ago, it will be remem- bered, the Galatea ran ashore at this piace and was ulty got off and repaired; and other yoats, perhaps more by good fortune than management, have at various times just escaped, and no more, being wrecked at this particular part of the Sound, For some years the government has been sked to place a light and a fog signal at this point, and the Lighthouse Board has promised to make adequate provision for the safety of vessels passing near the island, but thus far has failed to ¢ y Gut its intentions.

The Latest Particulnrs, Hant’s ISLAND, April 22—10 o'clock P, M. The Old Colony now lies on the east side of Hart's Istand, at the extreme lower end. There are some boats engaged taking off her freight, but hopes of saving the ship are very poor, Some of the old boat- men say that her back is broken, and this statement was confirmed by the ofMicers of the steamer which = between here and New York. Her ‘reight is being transferred to the barges which were brought down by the agent of the ifne, and the Old Colony lies in such a state that at any moment a wave may wash over her and create confusion which may send her to pieces. She now rests on a dangerous reef, and the weather alone can determine whether she can be saved or not. The opinion of the boatmen and other naval folks at Neptune Point is that she willkshortly go to pieces, Her present pogition bears this out, but the agents are making great efforts for her relief. At Willlamebridge and Neptune Point, Se dir Hart's Island, there was nothing known of the oc- until the keeal authorities were tnformed by in the neighborhood, which did not abete untilsome of the passengers of the Old returned (to their “old cottage near Ro- Collision in the Sound On Tuesday night, as a consequence of the misty rain of the day, a thick fog set in after ten o'clock, which up to yeeterday morning had become of the densest description on the rivers and jew lying lands adjacent to the city. On Long Island Sound in par- Ueular the fog was so thick that, as sailors some- times say, you could “cut it with a knife,” and, con- sequently, the navigation of this estuary, generally a dificult operation, was rendered yesterday morning @ task of the utmost danger. The boats coming to- wards New York found the air heavier and denser as they approached the city, and some had to lay to inside to allow the fog to clear up a little before they could proceed. Among these batter was the Bim City, the well known boat of the Bridgeport line, which left her dock last evening at her customary hour for New York. The weather had been very thick on leay ng the Nutmeg State, and Captain Bowns, having undred passengers under his charge besides @ full cargo on board, deemed tt best to proceed with the utmost caution, particularly as the weather, instead of wing cledtr as he bregeass, only got thicker, hen opposite ‘Throgg’s Neck the Bit City’s engines were stopped, for the fog was so thick that nothing could be seen a few feet off. In fact the captain and pilot were only able to gues# at their pene from the points of the compass and the distance they had ran. The Eim City had been lying ively on the water for some time, and her whistle kept blowing an alarm every half minute or so, when, before any Warning was given, ali on board felt a sudden shock, heard the crash of rending timbers, nding, grating collision, and they knew that they had been run into. At first the Elm City keeled over to such an extent that all thought she was snking, and there was the greatest scurry and confusion on board, although the be ain tried his best to secure order and quietness, The time was half-past seven, and the passengers had just been aroused for by fast before the shock came, 86 it was a lt better than if they had been alarmed in their steep, Fortunately, however, this was not the case, The Bleetra, which was the ne of the colliding vessel—a propeller, of the Neptune | line—struck the Eim City on the starboard side, jr abaft the forvard guard, and right against the boiler. | The guard, deck and surrounding Woodwork were cut into to the depth of seven or eight feet, and the | boiler (a strong one) forced inward some U feet. | It was certainly the strength of the boller which pre | served the til-fated boat from being cut down keelson.

The amount received by the city fr the year ending April 1, 1867, fi es and Vater rents was $250,700, Th ed the last year from the same sources was $294,500 64. The reason why the city debt has been increase! the amonnt before mentioned a he last year, not. withstanding the receipts, were iai than those of the year previous, is owing to the that certain extraordinary expenses were incurred during the ear for which the estimates of the Commitiwe of | Ways and Means had made no provision, ‘The most | considerable of the Items which go to make op the | um of those expenses are the new iron bridges on Broad street, new atone breaker, engine inws, the fire bel! and bell tower on Pewri street and | sera: Trotting at the Union Course—The Firet of the Season. After a few postponements on account of the un- propitious weather which has been so prevalent throughout the spring, the trotting season was finely inaugurated yesterday on the Union Course by & contest between Mr. Dugrey’s bay stallion Ben Wood, Mr. Howe's bay mare Ginger and Mr. Nodine’s brown gelding; mile heats, best three in five, in har- ness, There were seven entries for this purse, but those only named above put in an appearance, the others probably keeping away through lack of con- dition or some other equally potent cause, The three who did appear are new horses to the turf, but thelr performances on a first appearance and on an extremely heavy track were very creditable, indeed. The bay stallion of Mr. Dugrey won the race, after four very closely con- tested heats, the last being won after a remark- able struggle—a struggle in which the horses were so evenly matched at the close that the judges had considerable difficulty in deciding which was really the winner, ‘The attendance was, as might have been expected, from the heavy coudition of the roads leading to the course and the lack of excitement attendant on the advent of unknown horses, not particularly largo; still we noticed, however, among those who were there some of the most prominent trotting and racing men of the day, Nodoubt the attendance would have been larger but for the execrable condition of the roads, which might have vied with the celebrated Pontine marshes in their depth of mud, and an [talan buffalo would have been at a premium in dragging the vehicles through the miry sloughs, There was one advantage, however, in this slow progression; it enabled the traveller to take a better survey of the beautiful country through which the road passes than he could otherwise have done. The fields are now clothed with verdure and agricultural opera- tions seem to have commenced in earnest, as at every point of view might be seen persons busily en- this peouliar industrial pursuit, Reaching the Union Course, made famous by the great events that have there taken place—the spot where first was inaugurated the great split between the North and South, by the race of Eclipse and Henry—a thousand reminiscenses of the turf rush into the mind of the spectator, This time honored course was laid out, fenced around and its stands erected by Cadwallader Colden, whose name is alike associated with the Mayoralty of this cily and the annals of the turf, On this old spot Black Marla and Lady Rellef—both daugh- ters of American Eclipse—in the race with ‘Trifle and Siimy ran their memorable four mile heats in succession—a teat unparalleled in modern times, and incontestably the greatest exhibition of speed and bottom on record. Here, also, Bascomb and Post Boy, Fashion and Boston, Fashion and Peytona, Tally-ho, Bostona and Free Trade (a four heat race) and numerous other abrities achieved their repu- tation as race horses and lett behind them records of speed and endurance that the race horses of no other country can exhibit, Af the sectional differences between the North and Seuth were maugurated, and Southern men declined coming North with their horses for fear of their negroes being spirited away, racing drooped here, and the Union was converted from a racing into a trotting course.

Time, 2:5444. Second Heat,—There was very little betting on the trot between beats, the fleld being offered at odds against the gelding without takem. A good start was effected afier a few scorings, Ginger taking the lead around the turn, the -Nodine geiding second, with the stallion In close pursuit. wer broke before she reached the quarter pole, the stallion fol- lowing suit, which gave the lead to the gelding, and he passed that point tree lengths ahead of the mare, who was two lengths in front of the stallion, in forts three seconds. On the backstretch the mare broke up again and gave a greater lead to ihe gelding for a short time, but before he reached the half-mile pole he began to “tangle” and the others closed on him, Hle was two lengths in front of the mare at this point in 1:27, the stallion close up. Going around the lower tarn the gelding “came back” a little more, and, the stallion putting on the steam before they turned into the homestretch, they were all in a row, A short struggle for mastery ended in a succession of breaks by the mare and the gelding, and the stallion came home @ winner by hail a dozen lengths in 2:56\, the mare second, six lengths ahead of Nodine. : » Third Heat—A fine start, Ginger soon going to the front, the stallion second, Nodine on a break and running. At the quarter pole the mare was two lengths in front in forty-three seconds, the stallion sec- ond, one length in advance of the gelding. There was very little variation in their Tespective positions down the backstretch, the mare passing the half-mile pole three jengths ahead of the stallion, who was four jJengths in front of the gelding. Time, 1:26. Going around the lower turn the stailion trotted rapidly and took sides with the mare before she reached the three-quarter pole, and they came on the homestretch side by side, six lengths ahead of Nodine. A very exciting tussle took place up the stretch, and the stallion landed at the score a winner by half alength, the mare second, 81x lengths in front of the gelding. Time, 2:56, Fourth Heat.—The stallion was now @ decided favorite against the field, Nodine got away frat, the mare second; but they both broke up on the tarn and the stallion led to the quarter pole three lengths in forty-four seconds; Ginger second, one le! in front of the gelding. The stallion continued his lead down the backstretch, but the gelding had cut down the mare and was fast closing on the leader, He was two lengths in front at the half-mile pole in 1:29, bat seemed to be getting groggy. On the lower turn the welding collared the stallion, and they swung into the Homestretch head and head, where a most excit- ing struggle was maintained to the score, both going over the line on a run, and, as every one thought, on a parallel lyne, The judges, however, gave the heat to the stallion, as they said he was ahead when No- dine’s gelding broke and that he would have won had they both stayesl at a trot, The mare was two angie behind, Time, 2:67.

On being intro- duced, the lecturer was very enthusistically received. He said tt was but fatr to divide history into the his- tory of Man and natural nistory, which was the his- of the works of God. Power had been con. trol over the fishes of the sea, the bints of the wiv and the beasts of the field, The weakest of the creatures in the animal kingdom were pro- vided with food and raiment and with means of oTence and defence. Adam was the first naturalist. Man was the head of creation and in no way con- nected with the lower order. Job intimately knew the habits of the creatures he was acquainted with, Alexander the Great, though much engaged in the pursuite of a conqueror, slaughtering thousands of his fellow creatnres, spent time in collecting “specimens of natural history. which he sent to his former teacher. Julins Caesar was also @ great naturalist.

He adverted to the cial breeding of fish, which was rendered me more especially in Euroy where thot and thousands of salmon Wore taken at the wrong moment. The lecturer's de- seription of the shark, its formidable teeth, its werful jaws and the mode in which it attacked That which it desired to destroy, was very graphic and elicited Spplpnee from the audience, ‘The formation and habits of the sturgeon, the “royal fish’? were next touched w Mr. Hawkins suggesting that commercially chis was of import- ae from the fact that isinglass could be obtained ‘om it, New York and Brooklyn Sales Yesterday— ndition of the Real Estate Market. ‘The clear sky and genial weather of yesterday pro- duced a slight improvement in the real estate market.

The rapid increase of population has called for the issue of bends, to make accom- modations in streets, parks, water, sewerage, &c., and as the population continues to increase the taxation will decrease, The transfers of real es- tate in Brooklyn during the month of March were $4,151,607, The report makes the following compa- rative statements with regard to the increase of building between the two cities:—The first class dwellings erected in New York in 1567 were 668 in number; in Brookiyn, 1,164. in New York, dwellings Jess than three stories, 261; Brooklyn, 1,106.
