Damage to the French Steamship Perelre—Six Persons Killed and Many Injured, LONDON, Jan, 26, 1869, The steamship Pereire, Captain vuchesne, which sailed from Havre on the 15th inst. for New York, returned to the former port to-day, badly damaged, The precise nature of the accident has not yet transpired, but full details will be furnished as soon a8 obtained. Six persons on board were killed and many injured. A son of Hon. N. Green, of Louis- ville, Ky., was @ passenger, but 1s uninjured. Simon Camachs, the Consul at New York from Honduras, ‘was also a passenger, and is safe. ~~ othe (The agent of the line in New York thinks the ac- cident must have occurred in the engire room, in ‘which case the casualties were probably confined to the employés of the vessel. Mr. McKenzie, the agent of the General Transatlantic Steamship Company, has recetved the following despatch about the acci- dent:— “The Pereire returned to Havre this morning damaged, Her passengers and cargo will be for- warded by the steamer St. Laurent, which leaves Brest on Saturday.” The above despatch gives no reason to suppose that any of the passengers were injured. The Pereire belonged to the Transatlantic Com- pany line of steamers, running between Havre and this port, and is commanded by Captain Duchesne. She was built at Glasgow in 1866, is 2,318 tons mea- surement, 343 feet in length, 41 beam and 28 in Gepth. She is made of iron, draws 23 feet of water, has 7 bulkheads and is bark rigged.

On Sunday detectives Hebbert and La Rue, of the Eighteenth precinct, New York, having traced Tom McGibney (supposed to have been implicated in the murder of Mr. Rogers) to Paterson, N. J., gave & fall description of the man to detectives Graul and Rice, of that city, and these omcers immediately instituted a search, It being discovered that Tom haa a brother working in Wm. 8, Kinche’s soda water manufactory, in Pros- pect street, a sharp lookout was kept in that vicinity, and after a patient watch of two days a man was discovered about one o'clock yesterday afternoon answering in every respect to the deserip- tion given, and just entering the engine house of Company No. 3, which is situated but a few doors from the soda water establishment. The oMcers immediately waiked in and arrested McGibney, and, securing an order {rom the city Re- corder, had him safely lodged in the county jail. The prisoner acknowledges that he is an escaped convict from Sing Sing, whence he had forced his way after serving eleven months of a two and one- half years’ term for felonious assault, He said he cared nothing for that so long as he was not im- plicated in the Rogers murder, which seemed to trouble him greatly, nothwithstanding no reference had been made to the affair by the detectives. He claims to have been tried and imprisoned under the name of John Rice, and was very anxious that he might again be treated by that name instead of “Tom McGibney.”” Although apparently endeavor- ing to treat the matter cooly, tt was plain to be seen that he was much troubled, and occasionally gave vent to the exclamation that he ‘supposed they thought he was the Tom on the envelope.” ~ The description by which he was arrested was that of the escaped convict. Any complicity on his part with the Rogers murder of course remains to be developed, but the officers confidently believe he knows something about it and that they have made an important arrest, The detectives in New York were immediately telegraphed for to come and take the prisoner into their custody. McGibney is rather short in stature, has dark hatr and complexion and looks like @ pretty hard customer. The fact of the arrest was telegraphed by detec- tive Noney, of the Central Office, to Inspector Wal- ling last night. Ata late hour in tne evening Mc- Gibney arrived in this city in charge of detectives Hibberd, Young, Lakere and Nichois, of the Eighteenth preciact and officers Rice and Graul, of Paterson. He was at once conveyed to the Eighteenth recinct and locked up, and will this morning pro- bly appear at the inquest. He is believed to know something about the party to whom the letter was addressed. It is now said that the statements made about Mayor Hall and the District Attorney did not Mage that he any information, was the press for the purpose of lulling Tom into a sense of secu- tter to effect his capture. rit unconcern, the ‘Tue circ! umstances that led to his arrest are Waterbury only to that Tom and brot had left for New York, as already published. The detectives at once seetneds and dis- covered that Mc(ibney arrived on Tuesday night of last weex. He remained secreted in this city beyond the reach of the officers until the next even- ing, voecne nS his brother ean. of Pater- son, cov their hiding places, crossed to Jersey and took the Pitle Railroad Paterson. They were both intoxicated, and on the route got into an altercation with one of the breaksmen that came near resulting in their ex- pulsion from the train. It is understood that the Coroner still has nape that Tom may know something that will lead to the identification of the murderer, and is probably one of the reasons why the inquest is to be resumed lay. The escaped convict who for so long a period has eluded the vigilance of the detectives, was playing for a heavy stake—immunity from imprisonment— and it must be confessed, has aisles most remark- able acuteness in meintaining privicy, while his friends were negotiating for — his ey but his me ag 6 been = defeat an it is_bel that before the risi of another sun he will be safely ensconced in his old quarters and his old convict garb. The fellow has infortunately attained more notoriety in this case than was necessary and the sooner he is buried within the stone walls of Sing Sing the better for the community upon whom he has preyed ever since he learned to creep and suck his fingers. CONNECTICUT. New Havew Bounp OveR.—Yesterday morning Charles Caro- lan, who was arrested a few days ago while en- deavoring with two accomplices to remove a trunk from the Twenty-seventh street depot containing goods they had stolen from the Dradiey Brothers’ store, in Westville, Conn., was arraigned before the Superior Court on a charge of burglary. He plead not Ee and his boads were fixed at $300. He failed to give bounds and was committed for trial at the March term. RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS.—The Hartford and New Haven Railroad Company have made a contract with a firm in Springfield, Mass., to erect, ror $40,000, a coal wharf for them in this city one thou- sand feet long and fifty feet wide, on which isto be erected four elevators, each capable of holding one thousand tons of coal. By means of these elevators vessels can be unloaded and trains of cars loaded very rapidly, They cannot fau of proving of great advantage to the large coal consumers along the line of the road. REMANDED To Custopy.—Yesterday morning the Superior Court gave a decision in the cage of James McCarthy vs. P. E. Hinman, Almshouse Keeper. In this case McCarthy sued out a writ of habeas corpus to obtain his release from the Almshouse, alleging that he was not a pauper, but well able to take care of himself. The respondent replied that beng y Moy been divorged a his two children had laced in the care of a guardian, and that McCart had refused to provide for their rasa for which reason he had been ar- rested and by the city court sent to the Almshouse. ‘The court found that the petitioner was what the law denominated a pauper and by direction of songs Granger he was remanded back to custody. The case was fully argued by D, R, Wright and H. Lynde Harrison for petitioner and C. R. Ingersoll for re- dent. The petitioner's counsel gave notice that the case would be appeaicd to the Supreme Court. Po.iTicCaL.—The near approach of the two State conventions has already set the political cauldron boiling. The democratic party have in this city already chosen their State delegates, and although they are not pledged it 1a expected thoy will favor the renomination of Governor English. The dete- gates to the Congressional convention have been in- structed to secure, if possible, the nomination of James F. Babcock, Collector of the Port, formerly a Johnson republican, but now a democrat. The prospects are very good for his nomina- tion, although there is much bitter opyposttion to it in the democratic ranks. The republican conven- tions being held later they have be 4 just commenced operations, Last eventing three of the wards selected their delegates to the town convention.

Lively Times and Bitter Feeling in the House Members Indignant with the Speaker—The Pilot Board to Render an Ace count of Its Stewardship—Deluge ot Applica tious for Natorial Ofices—The Governor and His Cierke Overwhelmed. r ALBANY, Jan. 26, 1569, An effort was made to get a committee appointed by the Speaker to examine into the sewerage of New York city, but tt falled. Mr, Murphy, of New York, moved an amendment that the Speaker should not appoint on that committee any member living south of Albany. The general temper of the House to-day was of a very mixed character. A strong disposition to carp and quarrel was manifest among one portion of the members, while g spirit of levity not exactly in accordance with the gravity which a legislative body is supposed to possess was displayed by other portions of the House. There was a lively Piece of byplay over the resolution to appoint an extra doorkeeper and Superintendent of Docu- ments. Mr. Allaben (republican), of Kings, relieved the occasion by the solemnity with which he taunted the Speaker for not giving a single place on the floor to anyone from the islands of the eea—the dis- tricta of Kings, Queens and Richmond, He was most emphatic in hig condemnation of the-exciusion of these prominent districts, which represent 600,000 people and millions of property, from a chair- manship on any of the committees, or even the poor privilege of eppolnting @ doorkeeper. The discus- sion upon th! Bp ion led to an appeal from the decision of the chair by Mr. Hitchman, which, how- ever, Was not sustained, several democratic mem- bers asking to be excused from voung. The resolution of Mr. Jacobs, which passed last night, requiring the Pilot Commissioners to send to the House before the 1st of February a full account of all the moneys they have received, from what- ever source, will com! 1 that Board to put in an sppearance, fair and square, before that date. As there appears to be a good deal of mystery about the comings and goings of the Pilot Commissioners’ funds their report on the matter will be very inter- esting. The resolution came rather suddenly upon the House, which was very thin, and was run through Sppareany. without much reflection. Had the republican members seen the full purport and result of the resolution they would probably not have voted for it. Both the Senate and the House paid deference to Fenianism by granting the use of the oe flags hanging in tie hall of Milt Records for a grand ball of the Sarsfield Circle, to come off to-morrow night. The Senate did not do much business to-day worthy of comment, There was a solemn and imposing ceremony at St. Peter's Episcopal church, State street, this after- noon, at which large numbers of the most distin- prabes. citizens of Albany attended. era! of the wife of Erastus Corning, Jr., a most estimable young lady, whose wedding, about three summers was the great fashionable event of Saratoga. Governor Hoffman and ex-Governor Sey- mour were among the mourners. The Governor is overwhelmed with applications for notarial appointments, and it is not possible that ore than one in a dozen can be presented to the Senate. The clerical force of the office is not sufil- cient even to answer one-fourth of the letters re. ceived on the subject. It is to be hoped that this hint will restrain lent applicants for the office of notary public from urging claims which cannot well receive consideration, Meeting of the State Workingmen’s Assembly. ALBANY, Jan. 26, 1869, The State Workingmen’s Assembly met in this city to-day, and was called to order by President Jessup, who subsequently announced the following standing committees:—On the President's Report— Dol Campbell and Cooper.

The afternoon seasion was mainly devoted to hearing read tne annual report of the President. The report reviews the history of the various trades unions during the past year, gives the number of members of cach union, and shows that the organization is in a healthful condition.

D., is the biggest thing im the way of fee’ kuown for miles about, and who don’t approve of being outdone in anything skatoria!, enjoyed themselves at a carnival which, for real, thorough enjoyment, rollicking fun and ®& “good time generally,” surpassed anything of the kind that has occurred this- season, Of course, the pond was iiluminaced im a man- ner quite dazzling to behold, while the hundreds of skaters whirled themselves into all sorts of fantastic shapes over the well kept surface of the ice. There was a it crowd present, a highly respectable, fun-lor jolly crowd, which shifted itself about in the my kaleidoscopic manner, yet with a nature that was uite irresistible. There were ladies by the score in ail sorts of tty skatin: dresses which no one but a motiste “late of Paris? could describe ip a way that could be called satts- factory, and many of the sterner sex dis; in dominoos and other terrible attires which have more than once made the biood of the bold gern then boil in his ancient veins. The crowd, the il tions, the ladies, the beaut dresses, the disguises and the excellent ice were, to be sure, very fine thin in their way, but without the strains of a full blown brass band to give increased life to the scene they it have been very tame after all. So, to leave noth: wanting to make the occasion a lively, enjoy: one, there was a fine band which did its’ melodious duty well. There were present during the evening several New York experts, who seemed to enjoy them- selves as well in a set, land as though they were ting on the Centrai Park lakes, even though they id not succeed in outaoing the Brooklynites in fan- cy steps—either in grand spread-eagieism or simple sprawlism—an accomplishment not unknown to be- ginners. In fine, the carnival was a complete suc- cess, and when midnight came the skaters, unlike the Arabs, took up their “irons” and went their various ways, evidently highly pleased with the entertainment to be found at the Union Pond. The New York Skating Assccintion. A public reception was given last evening under the auspices of the New York Skating Association at their rooms in Plimpton’s building, at the intersec- tion of Ninth and Stuyvesant streets, The object of the gathering was to afford an opportunity to those admiring indoor skating to witness experts and others practi: this new accomplishment, Several lady and gentlemen skaters were present and by thelr performances delighted a number of interested spectators, who could not but come to the conclusion from what they saw that as much skill was Lip pny rat the management of these indoor skates as in the use of those hb are just now so much in request for skat on the public ponds and rinks. Some very tic movements were made by both ladies and gentlemen which, in point of neatne were qi equal to the fi and fancies of the champiOn skaters who exhibited upon the ice. The arrangements of the room are at once elegant and comfortable and the exerc'se on indoor skates 1s calculated to result in great physical benefit to those indulging in it. Contest at the Jersey City Rink for the Championship and a Stake of $2,000 Be- tween Frank Swift and James C. Meade— Swift Declared the Victor. The match between Frank Swift and James C. Meade for the skatorial championship and $1,000 a side, after numerous postponements on account of the weather, came off last evening at the Jersey City rink, which was coated with a splendid sheet of ice. About 1,500 spectators were present. The programme was taken from the skaters’ text book, and consisted of the following manceuvres:—1. Plain forward and backward movement, 2. Lap foot as in field step and cutting circle. 8 Outside edge roll forward, 4, Same roll backward. 5. Inside edge roll forward. 6, Same backward. 7 and 8, Cross roll backward and forward. 9.

General — of combined movements. e Movements were ali executed with ease up to the eleventh. “On to Richmond” brought out the powers of each in full play. The manwuvres were simply unexceptionable, and it would be dificult to discriminate between the contestants, Swift dashed of on the locomotive movements with as much ease as though he were sailing under a stréng breeze; but he was too confident, and in his efforts to execute a most difficult and complicated movement he fell, thus losing a pointon the best feat of the evening, up to that point. But the spectators were not satisfied that the laurel dropped so easily from his hand, and they spmenens. heartily, The waltz were in them- seives a splendid entertainment for the evening, and the audience could look on in mute astonishment for a whole hour at the Bae peepee without feeling tired. Meade had decidedly the advantage; but in the figure threes, grape vines and circles, the cou- test was very close. Meade was cantiousjan( rather stiff in his limbs, balancing himself by a broad sweep of the arms, and in his gyrations would make abrupt deviations from the right line, while Swiit shot of in @ numoer of weil formed eilipses and ares, to ac- complish which he was daring and confident aimost to recklessness, Meade performed the double foot whirls with astonishing rapidity, but deviated from the centre and formed a number of circles in his centrifugal course; but Swift remained fixed as on a ivot. At fifteen minutes before eleven o'clock the fariges, William H. Cheeseman and Charies W. Jen- ins, with the referee, Sidney Stewart, announced their decision that Swift made forty points and Meade thirty-nine, a result which left little to the victor to boast of. Mr. John Engler and Mr, James Demorest, as well as other skating celebrities, were present during the periormance. GRANT AND BANKS. A Probably True Version of the Vicksburg Story, Boston, Jan. 26, 1869, General Banks arrived here from Washington last evening, and the following article, which appears in the Travetier this afternoon, is understood to be ‘by authority:”"— The recent revelation that an order was issued fromthe War Department to General Banks, just betore the fall of Vicksburg, directing him to repair to that point and supersede General Grant, has made a topic for comment in newspapers in all parts of the country, It has been denied by Secretary Stanton, and the truth of the statement has been called in question by Mr. Dat who was Assistant Secretary of War at the time; but notwithstanding this, wemare the assurance that the statement is trictly true. . ‘The Tea ler may ask, if this is so, how has the fact leaked ovt now, and why was it withheld from the publicso tong? In answer to this it may be said that the enemes of General Grant have reported some- thing to this effect before, the matter baving been brought to the knowledge of a few army officers at the time. This has been denied at the War Depart- ment, and there are no papers on file there to con- firm the teuth of the report. General Grent never heard of the story until about four weeks ago, when one of his friends called his attention to It, . General Badeau, of Lis staff, and a Congressional friend called on General Banks, and not only learned that the story was true, but obtained from im all | rrespondence between himself end the War / riment on the subject, he having retained his! orders, and guarded them with the more care wheat he learned that Secretary Stanton had disposed of the duplicates.

The Arion Society. The Board of Directors of this society held a meet ing last evening, the object of which waa to com- plete the arrangements forthe great masquerade to come off on the 4th of February next. It would be unwise and uncharitable to disclose now what ia to be seen at that ball; but so much may be seid thas to one of the invitations an answer has been re- ceived, signed by General Badeau, on behalf and in the name of General Grant and of his family. What the answer is will be known at the ball; but it might as well be stated now that, Le to other pressing engagements, the General regrets that he will nos have the opportunity to be present. But as other celebrities, whose names in history are quite ag firmly fixed as that of General Grant, have assented to appear, the meet last evening felt no discour- agement on account of General Grant’s declination, since it is well Known that his stad wili be fully re- presented, A FRACAS AND WHAT CAME OF (T.
