DISASTER AT SEA. Burning of the Steamer Thames Of the North Carolina Coast. A Boat Containing Five Persons Supposed to be Lost. Statement of Ore Missengers. of the A brief telegraphic despatch in the Heratn of yes terday, dated at Nortolk, Ya., announced that the propeller Thames, of the Biack Star line, com- manded by Captatn Pennington, was burned on the morning of the 6th ultime, When about Miteen miles off Cape Hatteras; also that a heat contaming five persons of the crew was missing, and that they were believed to have perished, and that two other boats, having on board the rematoder of the crew, the Officers and fonr passenvers, had landed in safety. H. D. Wallen, Jr., second Heuterant, Third United States artillery, son of General fH. D. Watling, com- Maniing at Governor's Islana, was a passenger on board the Thames at the time of the disaster, bemg On ttis way to rejotn the command at Tortugas, Yes- terday afternoon he artived in New York from Nor- folk, having boen compelied to return to this city to re-embark, and furnisies the following NARRATIVE OF THR CATASTROPITE, ‘The Thatnes loft tlits port on Sunday last, bound for Galveston, Texas, iniving on board foar passen- gers and a crew of twenty-one persons. We expe- rienced tolerably fair weather until the evening of Monday, wien a sharp breeze set in, but with no serious violence. Abvut haif-past one o'clock on Tuesday morning the alarm of “fire? was given and smoke and flamcs were found proceed- ing from between decks, just aft of the engine, Tho fire spread with such frghtfu rapidity that all hands were soon driven from the cabins. At tle time the fire was discovered the Hatteras light bore directly west, about twenty miles distant, and Captain Pennington at once gave orders to put the ship about with a view of running in for the shore. Efforts were then made to extinguish the fire, and the bulkheads were knocked in with that object, but the entire hold was found to be in flames, and it was evident that the ship would be destroyed. She carried hay a9 cargo between decks, and this furnished abundant. fuet ror the fire, burning with great fury. For- tunately tle wind was off shore, and in order to Reep the fiames aft as niuch as possible Captain Pen- ningten took the precwution to save three boats from the davits aft and remove them forward, and headed the silp for shore, bat being driven from the pliot house by the Maines tne vessel became unman- ageab! Orders were viven at tis junetare to launch the poats, and two of the lifeboats wee floated sue. cessiully, A tierd boat, a metalile litepoat, at the starbodrd quarter, was found te be purtally melted the heat of the flames, and was therefore usvieps. e two Mifehoats were minned—one under com- Mand of the second mate, containmg nine persons, inciuding the stewardess, Miss ‘ayior, and myself; the other, ecmmanded by the captain, took on board ten persous, incinding & lady passenger, Mra. A, Mart ing, a resident of Savannuh, | believe, and two male passengers, Avtlird boat, called a “Whitehali? boat, was a'so tuunched, and five men embarked in her—Ccorge Prasse, the cook; John Cletthron and Charies Mason, waiters; one seaiman and a coal- passer, whose names | do not Know. At this time it ‘Was quite dark, the ship was in the trough of the sea, Which Was rolling rather heavily, and a strong wind was blowing off shore. ‘The vesacl was now avout Afteen miles from land, the ligathouse bearing about west-southwest, We had no fresh water cr provisions m the boats and very little clothing, as the fire burned #0 furiously that we were comopaijed 10 leave the steamer as quickiv as possible, without making any attempt to save our personal effects and valuables, AS soon as the condition of affairs on board was ascertained Captain Penuington took his post at the wacel and gave his orders from that post- tion, he bet also the last man to lcave the ship. In fact bis Nair was burned as he was coming down the ropes over the ship’s side. The two first named boats were headed for the Nght on shore, that being the only guile to stecr by, as we could not see the land. We parted from the steamer about half an hour after the fire had broken out, aud she was then almost a mass of Hames, the Hre having burst np tiroarh the hutch ways, and the smokeswack had already taiien. In about half au hoar from the time we left her the small boat, having the five men on board, passed us, heading directiy, as we thought, for the Hatteras light, and that was the !ast we saw of her. We have heard nothing from lier since, The propeller, after burning for about four hours, suok in sixteen fathoms of water, being by tI tame consumed neariy to the water's edge. The boat I was in lauded oo Hatteras Banks, abont seven miles north of the ee alter nearly eight hours’ hard rowing. The exact location { understand was Chicainic nico Beach, twelve mica north of Hatteras Intes, between Pamlico Sound and the Atiantic. We had considerable dificulty in getting ashore on account of the heavy suri. ‘The captain’s boat ianded about nait an hour afterwards at the same place. ‘We wete treated very badly by the few Inhabitants who live in that locality, and who are mostly fisher- men. They detianded compensation for every com- fort afforded us, and to reatize the money wherewith to pay thein we were obliged to seli them our boat, which they purchased from us at §12 50 each—ther own price—aitnough they were worth very much more. We remained with them on Tuesday night, and they boarded us on corn meal, salt pork and water, charging ua $24 for the aeoummodatio.s fur- nished to our party. Their beas were, of course, anything but downy, clean or comfortable, our wear- ing apparel being the major part of the bed clothing. Next morning we paid tuem $16 additional for the use of @ itttle oysier boat, and icft them, going vy Mt, of Pamlico and Albemarie Sounds to Kliza- beth City, N.C. We were nearly thirty-six hours on board the oyster boat, having on our way run aground on tie Roanoke marshes.

It is, in point of conception, a work of decided merit, but the piot has not been well worked up, Its great fault hes in iis brevity.

Velocipede riding has now become all the rage, and as neariy ail persons are anxious to understand how the “untamed” animal ts controlled it is neceasary that they should have a manual. ‘The author of the littie pamphiet before us, himself a finished, thorough rider, has given to the public a book of lessony which, of carefully studied, cannot fail to acquaint the beginner how to ride and to terch a!l many use- iul and important things in the art of veloc ‘ling. We therefore feel no hesitation in recommending the manual to the public at large. FISHING IN AMERICAN Watkins. By Genlo C. Scott. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1800. Itisa peculiar and charming literature that we owe to sportsmen, Munters of every kind and class are agrecab’e characters, and in what they write we perceive tiie same good huimor, unatlected simpiicity and philosophical spirit that is bred always by com- murion with nature asd a pursuit that excites heart and mind just up to the health point. Fishermen are the quietest of al the hunting philosophers, and best of all the practical naturalists, and we are in- clined to class the author of the book before us as among the most enjoyabiec of the fishermen, He is, first of all, loyal to his sport. Tuis is the great virtue, the spirit that gives to every page boteer vitality than could be found in cither science or rhetoric. His work, a4 it is local, will to some ex- tent be ciassed with that of Herbert; but we have just touched upon the point that wil determine its superiority, for Herberc was a litterateur, nob par ex. ceilence a fisherman, He was a brilliant fisued for pastime; and Scott is a fisher writes to get a large audience for is diet stories, Scott establishes himself as especiaily # New Yorker in giving the place of honor in his book to the striped bass, 1t1s here only that this splendid fellow Is held in such honor; but we are not disposed to assent tor the statement put in here, a3 everywhere else, that he is peculiar to our Atlantic eswuaries, for we have eaten him fresh caught at Posilippo, on the bay of Napies. Could he have been a lost Yankee, and why not & savmarine Yan- kee, as well as one of the other sort? We commend this nttle volume a3 next to indispensabte to ail tish- ermen of this neighbortiood who want to know just what to do, aud how to do it, in order to use a day or a week to the best sdvantage In pursati of sport. It is exceltent im its detati, good In facts, tn itustra- tion, ane very Interesting in the glimpse it gives of that comparatively new science, the cultivation of New York: Miscellancons.

Wilcox, of New York, “Tue New Adininistration,” containing biographical sketches of President Grant and hia Cabinet, and of Vice President Colfax and Speaker Blaine. ‘fhe book is very well written, We have also received the Apcil number of “The Bankers’ Magazine and Statistical Register,” by J.

Just about the middie of spring, with the month of May, the time comes around for the cold, rocky beer cellars to be opened, and for the lager, which had been on the stocks in large casks to mature, to be brought forth for consumption, This event is ac- companied in Germany with marked éclat, and in some communities even a festive day is made of it when the first keg of genuine lager 13 rolled out from its deep recesa in the rocks and tapped, and its foaming contents tasted and its quality con- acientiously criticised. But the change from the Jungver —a winter beer—to lager is signaiized by the Introduction of two other kinds of beer, which precede, as the heralds did of oid the mighty knights, the “prince of drinks,” lager, by several weeks. These are the Salvatorfbeer iu April, followed by the bock, which last makes its appearance gene erally about the first of May. So accustomed have the Germausin the Vatertand become to this that the “hock seasoo” 18 relighously observed, and in some disizicts, particularly at Munich and throagh- out Bavaria, the good burghers would do without the King and bus court much sooner than they could without their Salvator beer in Apriland the bock on the firstof May. Were the bock to be missing at (his season they Would think the whole course of netare changed, and that the lovely monthof May waa the opening of winter instead of summer, ‘Lhe Germans here have not lost this custom of their forefathers in the old country, and Salvator and bock i the word now throughout the lengta and breadth of the land wherever the Ger- mans have settted and wherever there is a brewery.
