He was an ollicer of high promise, as hia promotion in the service might aeuote. He obtained bis Heutenancy in January, 1864, and in June, 1855, was appointed lieutenani commander of her Majesty’s ship Wrangler, gun- boat, and assisted at the taking of Kinburn, and, as already stated in our columns, received the Victoria Cross for personal bravery in 1867, At the end of the war he was made @ commander. He was also for his gallantry during the war in the Hast deco- rated with the Order of the Medjidie of the iitth ciass and nominated an Ofiiccr of the Legion of Sonor of Frauce, He was married to a duugiter of Adiira!

Previously to his joining the Captain be was acting sub-leatenanton board the Dane, on the Capejol Quod Hope and West coast of Africa station, Mr. Leonard O, E.

We have authority, says the London Post, to siate that no member of the firm of Messrs. Laird was on board the Captain. ‘The report to thut effect pro- bably originated in the fact of Mr. Henry i.

John Griddle, first class boy, says that he was just passing round the capstan in muster! for his watch, after the ship had made the first lurch to lee. ward, when he heard Captain Burgoyne sing out, “How maby degrees docs she heel now?’ The answer came, “Eighteen.’’ The atip kept on heel- ing over, and never came up again. Went out on the weather foretopsall brace on the hurricane deck, to haul on and round mm on the topsail, sheety being let go. Saw tite soa roll over the huri cane deck haramock netting, and was januned by it under the haminock ¢ioth. Could remember nothing more until he was picked up, With another of the men saved, by the second launch. REPORT OF GU Y ‘The report of Gunner Jam May is that he not on duty daring the squali, but hearing a pols in one of the turrets he ascended it io ascertatn the cause. He ter lee heard the reply made to Cap- tain Burgoyne that the ehip was hecliug eighteen degrees, when he was thrown out of the turret into the sea. Captain Burgoyne was thrown jor swept overboard at the same time, and May appears to have thought that at one time Cuptam Burgoyne one of the five of them who got hold of the gui wale of the jaunch and that the Captain alone was Washed away. The fact, however, seems to be that aiter the shtp capsized Captain Burgoyne was seen clinging to the Keel of the pinnace and that those in the launch were never able to get ner enough to pull him on board. Besides the pinnace the Cap- tain had amidships, on her hurricane dock, tree boa en within the other, two launches and a gal- Jey. hen the frigate rolled over, these boats were necessarily hurled overboard. Some eight or pine men got into the upper launch, the undcrmost filled aud sank. Other men were seen clingiag to the pin- nace—one of them Captain Burgoyne. Some of them reached the launch aud were drawn in safely, May himself, a powerful man, assisting several, Yotces were heard calling loudly to the captain to throw himself into the sea and make for the boat; but be fore he could do that, or an cfort could be made to ility and } reach him, @ se@ parted the boats, and it Is to be feared the captain perianed. The only hope which it 18 said Capiain Comimerell still has of the brave commander being picked up must lie in the frail chance of the pinnace afterwards rigliting und his etting Into her, against Which is to be put the face at the sea Was scoured for hours tn ail directions without any trace of her having been seen.

The Jews have often been said to be a remarkable people, and this judgment of them 1s certainly a very just one, Considering their present condition in the world, and tracing back their history into antiquity more remote than the accounts of any other civilized nation, living or dead extends, we find that there is and has ever been some invisible band that closely unites them all over the world—a band which no difference of language or of the natlonality of the country of thetr birth, no difference of rank, wealth or intellectual refinement, uo harshness of the per- secuting hand of relentless fanatics, could ever break nor even diminish its force. The cause for this ts indeed an interesting subject for the study of the philosopher and historian. It may have been, and perhaps was, that the very persecution, the never- ending suffering, the iereasing trials, which the Jows underwent wherever their steps led them, be- came that firmiy wrought chain, stronger than steel could make it, which, even unto this day of enlight- enment, binds them together. ana makes @ suffering Jew in Roumania or Russia the suffering brotirer of allthe Jews m Amerioa. It may have been, and perhaps it truly was, this very persecution to which the Jews have beon subjected for nearly two thou- gand years which taught them to seek refuge in their own Hebrew tongue as something pecultar to them- selves and unknown to thelr persecutors at the time, in which to tad a stream of thought and communt- cation common to themselves only, and freignted with their holiest, their religion, But even in'tits enlightened age, tn this the latter half of the nineteenth century, It 1 the same the world over. ‘The, as it were, inquisitorially ¢ritical spirit of the ttmes has invaded the formerly exciu- sive and sectuded fleid of Judaism and has thrown off mto the mouldering dust of past centuries, as un- fit to be borue by the many, tenets and ritualistic ceremonies which, born of the past, ought to have died with the past. Yet while this spirit of reform, the light of which was first brought to penetrate the outer crust of Judaism, hardened from the blows of many persecuting centuries, by the great mind of the great German Jewish philosopher Mendelssohn, and bas since his time found mang more to work in the same path first cut by him, yet it has not permeated the whole of the Jewish world, The re- forms advocated by him have worked wonderfully, but they reach the petrified strata, typical aimost of the “rock of ages.” Hence at the present time there are three separate “sects,” if they may be so called, of Jews—those of the orthodox, Jerusalem- istic or Polish ritual; those of the Spanish or Portu- gfuese moderate reform school, which nas arisen in the Iberian peninsula under the mild and tolerating Tui¢ of the Moors or Mahommedans, and the modern German school, based upon the German spirit of re- form, having in view the saine principles which Rey.

A CLERK. THE PARK, Anaual Report of the Board of Commissioners Benefit of the Park to the City. Pie thirteenth annual report of the late Board of Commissioners of Central Park has just been issued, and will be found to be a most tnstructive and enter- taining work. There are admirably executed pho- tographic pictures of several points and objects of interest aud works of art in the Park, such as the mall, cascada, Berceau walk, boys’ play ground, the camel, elephant, goat carriages, Humboldt and Co- iumbus monuments and“‘Auld Lang Syne;" there are cuts showing tie dairy house, plan of Merchants’ Gate—Eighth avenue and Fifty-uinth street—map of north end of city, gpide map to the Park and the mmeteoveiogical seii-Registering apparatus. The book contains aiso a finely written report of the Commussiouers, description of the works outside the Park, a topographical description of the Park, correspondence in relation to a parade ground, and also in relation to specimens for the natura) history museum, and in relation to works of art; lists of gifts, devises, bequests, specimens deposited for ex- hivition, birds aud animals in captivity, a paper on watering roads, a full description of the meteorolo- gical apparatus and other matter of interest. .THA BENEFIT OF THE PATE to the surrounaing property is amply demonstrated in tables, showing the increased valuations in each ol the three wards surrounding the Park. in 1856 The total valuation was $26,429,005, in 1869 the total Was $150,224,743, showing increase in twelve years of $125,795,178, fn 1 at the established rate of taxation (2.27), the yleld on the increased Valuation Was $2,810,150. THE TOVAL COST OF THR PARK tneluding the cost of the grownd ($5,025,844) up to the fivst of January was $iv,304,251, The annual interest on the cost of the land and improvement of the Park up to January 1, at six per cent, is 253. Deducting one per cent on $399,300 of the stock issued at five per cent ( 3), gives the total interest $652,246.
