President Grant and the New York Gold “Ring” Crisis—British Estimate of the General. Lonnoy, Oct, 28, 1869. « The London Post, commenting on the action of General Grant in regard to the gold speculations, says:— The habits and life of President Grant are a sure guarantee that be will do his duty {mpartially to all Paola His character as a soldier will protect him im temptations to which those who make politica ® trade frequently yield. His judgment as a statesman remains to be tried. us far he hag girs evidence of statesmanlike prudence and good mper. The temporary failure of the Alabaina Degotiations led him to wisely postpone the reopen- ing of the subject. The course he has pursued with respect to Cuba proves that however anxious for Qggrandizement the Union Is he 18 resolved to mites SOY the duties prescribed by inverna- Local Rebellion and Executive Amnesty, Lonpon, Oct. 23, 1869, The London Times to-day, in an article on the -@lamor for Fenian amnesty, says:— Many governments, as well as that of England, formerly regarded rebeliton as transcending all other ‘crimes, and as one to be punished beyona them all. The British goverumont now looks on it as more fraught than ordinary crimes with ruinous con- sequencesf'o the peace and prosperity of the country, “a8 springing from the same intractability of temper and selfish disregard of the wellare of others which rompt common illegaiities, and as Tequir- ig the same standard of punishment. When 4% is demonstrated that the Fenians have harder work, worse food and harsher ireatment than other convicts, it will be ume to aeouse Mr. Gladstone of less sensitive to injustice when practised on Kis fellow countrymen than when inflicted on foreigners. While the government refuses to act towards rebellion as if it were simply virtue mia- directed Mr. Gladstone can afford to treat with in- difference the imputation that he hay turned rene- gade from bis generous principles of 1851.

IRELAND. Premier Gladstone to the Dublin Corpora. tion—Promises of Further Reform. DUBLIN, Oct. 28, 1869. Mr. Gladstone hes written a letter to the Lord Mayor and Municipal Corporation of this city, ex- pressing his satisfaction and that of ‘his colleagues at the approval given by the city of Dublin to their conduct in regard to the irish Church legislation Guring the last session of Parliament. Mr. Glad- stone acknowledges the solemn obligations he is ‘under to deal to the best of his ability with the other subjects affecting the welfare of Ireland. ‘With respect to the Fenians, he says it ‘would have been more agrecable to the government to give effect to a desire for clemency founded on the most honorable motives. The subject is then cal- culated in all its bearings, and the reasons given for denying an amnesty. Sir John Gray, M. P., informed the Council that he believed Mr. Gladstone's personal desire was to release the Fenian pr.soners. He knew the Premier ‘was determined to settle the land in the same effec- tive manner in which he had settle the Church ques- fon, and that he was resolved to abolish the exter- munating policy of the landlords.

When the fire broke out every effort was made to land, but the steamer was so heavily laden that she could not be brought nearer than 100 yards of the shore, Great confusion and terror prevailed. There were about 200 cabin and deck passengers on board, quite a@namber of whom were women and children. The flames spread with great rapidity. Scores of men sprang into the water and attempted to reach the shore by swimming. Nearly all of these were lost. Every conceivable object that could be obtained was thrown into the water, and to these the pas- sengers clung with all the tenacity of life.

Others would jump into the water, whirl around in the strong currenf for an inatant and disappear for- ever. Mr. Fulton jumped overboard and attempted to swim ashore, but coming in contact with a number of mules he swam to and climbed on the wheel of the boat. While there the steam pipe burst and the wheel revolved three times, He clung to it, how- ever, and was finally taken ashore in a skit, Charles Williams, a deck hand, says he tried to smother the fire, when i was first discovered, with on board of blankets, but the wind blew so strongly he*fatled. Au effort was made to bring the hose to play on the fire, but the crowds of the frenzied deck passengers rushed with such trresistible force upon the men having it in charge that they were obliged to give it up, Williams then threw over- board a bale of hay, and, getting on it, drifted to the stern of the boat, where he encountered the boat's yawi, containing six men and a woman. He was taken on board, but having no oars they could not stem the current, Williams and the woman were put ashore, and the remaining men made another attempt to reach the steamer, using the seats of the yawl for paddies, but the tide too strong, and they were carried down the stream and were seen no was These are all out of between 260 | more, Williams thinks there were not more than thirty persons saved, but it is hoped many were able to reach the shore at different pointe down the river, and that further information will show the loss of life has not been go terrible and appalling as the present advices indicate.

Collision of Ferryboats on the North River— Several Persons Injured. Yesterday evening & collision took place between two ferryboats, which are constantly loaded with passengers, and the escape of those in one of the cabins may be looked upon a8 miraculous, At seven o'clock the Hoboken boat Morristown left the slip at Barclay street and was moving towards Hoboken against a heavy tide, with upwards of 100 pas- sengers on board, when the accident occurrea. When half way across one of the pilots heard a sig’ nal from the Pavomia ferryboat Delaware, which was running rapidly with the current in almost an oH UP. opposite direction. Whether the = signal was sufficiently distinct, or whether the Payonia pilots acted properly in sounding a double whistle under the circumstances ia yet undetermined. The pilots of the Morristown, however, continued their course, endeavoring to steer clear of the approaching boat. Full speed was thus kept up on both sides (Ul the boats came within a few yards of each other, and then the engines were stopped. The precaution was, of course, too late, and in a few moments the leit guard of the Delaware swept with a terrific crash over the tront cabin of the Morristown, shattering to pieces the windows, seats and timbers and tearing away the fore part of the paddlebox. fad there been a num- ber of passengers there immediate death would bave bee the fate of most of them, As far as 18 yet ascertained there were only a (ow persons seated therein, five of whom were seriously, though not fatally injured, as they had reached the remote side of the cabin when the shock came. Four young men jnmped on board the ware, one of whom was takeu to Chambe street in a mangied condition, ‘The scene which followed the collision was one of confusion and wild excitement. The ladies wlio occupied the opposite cabin of the Morristown Tushed frantically to the rear of the boat, imagining they were about to be drowned. he mlot and deck hands did everything tn their power to maintain order, aud the engineer remained at his post, though the débris of the cabin were pressing on the engine house. One hitue boy named Conkiin, who lives im Monroe street, Hoboken, was screaming piteously, as a huge spinter hac ‘ed is fout. He was afterwards conveyed to his Rome and ampu- | tion will be necessary. The boots Were cut away from (le feet of another passenger and a wap named Mason was slightly injured {a the leg. There is no knowing yet the precise oumbver of per- sons injured, but it is thought Chat some were drownea, from the bubbling howls that were heard in the water as the boats glided apart ia the dark. ness alter the collision, The cavin of the Deiawase Was Dut slightly injured, the Pavonta boats beng of a superior build io tae others. ‘The Morristown was now disadied, and the Hoboken approached, wok her passengers on board and towed her into the slip at Hovoken, afier a deiay of an hour and @ half. Captain se then ordered a thorough search to be made among the wreck ‘of broken timbers for the bodies of any who mighe have been buried beneath the beams. No person was found, however. Many excited indi: viduals crowded around the ferry house in search Of friends whons they had not seen throughout the { taiormationfurnishe day, thinking they had suffered by the disaster wild rumors bad already gone abroad as to the ny. ture of the occurrence, The Delaware continued vo make trips afterwards, bit it will take sowe true and expense to repair the Morristown. ‘there has long been @ contention between the officials of the respective lines, and ar the Pavonia pilots are con- sclous of the Pete of their boats they fre- quent\y rush before the Hoboken boats, wiih wreat dauger to the safety of passengers.
