YOu an, of Franklin Grove, Lee county, has falien hew to properly in Scotland worth $2,500,000, THE WATER FRONT. The Dock Commissioners a Tour of In- spectionThe New Dock and Warehouse Plan—The Tides in the Harbor. Comuissioners Agnew, Hunt, Wood and Henry, of the Department of Docks, accompanied by Peter Cooper, Erastus W. Smith and others, yesterday were conveyed on a tour of observation around the river front of the city by Captain Hugh McKay, of the steam yacht Wermland. The party left the foot of Chambers street at noon, and steamed rapidly down to the Battery, up the East river as far as Fort Schuyler, landing at Astoria and examining the tun- nelling operations under the Hell Gate reofs, Sev- eral blasts were exploded in their presence and the entire method of engineering demonstrated, Pon- derous curtains of logs hung over the mouth of the galleries prevented any fragments of rock flying ow and ren derea the position of the spectators poten sale. The object of the trip wasto study certain eccentric effects of tides and currents, and to con- sider the proposed new method of dockage, with tn- ventions by Captain McKay. He proposes to build sea wails, bulkneads, piers, &¢., with hol- low iron tubes, sunk by pneumatic process down to a rock foundation, to be bolted together, dove- tailed by fanges and filled with concrete; also by sinking hollow iron tubes or caissons, to be used as coffer dams in which to construct piers of masonry, Tarnished with wooden fenders; also warehouses with railways in a combination at once new and novel. The project of building pliers in tue Kast river to regulate the flow of currents he argued would only make affairs worse, by converting Long island Sound into a Bay of Fundy, with tre- mendous and ungovernabie rushes of tidal waves, The following interesting statement embodics his ownand the observations of others after a study of thirty years:— “Ita dam was thrown across the East river it would have the effect of raising the tide fifteen feet above its present swell at high water mark, That this is correct it is ak fi hp 4 to compare the economy of the tides at ton and New York. Both cities are situated at the head of a large bay, open to the direct flow of the tidal wave, which, flowing up Boston bay, although it does not mect the ebbing of any large river in {ts course, yet not having room euough to spread, piles itself mp whari fifteep feet above the low water level. This same wave, flowing into New York harbor, meets the down flow of the Hud- son at the Battery, where it is forced up the East river and through Hell Gate, expending its ferce in filling the bays of Long Isiand Sound. To a person standing on pier No. 1 North river is presented the strange anomaly of an ebbing tude and a rising river, caused by the outflow of the Hudson damming up against the infowing tidal wave. By the time the crest of the wave reaches Sands’ Point it meets the wave that has passed around Lon; Island to the eastward, ae the highest rise 0} tide in the vicinity of New York. As it is then almost low water at Sandy Hook its force is spent and it begins to flow back. That this fs true ts also shown by the action of the wave on its progress uF the Sound. Beginning at New London, the rise of the shore is only two feet four inches; at New Haven, where it feels the foot of the wave from Saudy Hook, through the East river, the rise ts five feet; at Oyster Bay eight feet, ana at Sands’ Point, where the cresta of the waves meet, {t 13 nine feet. By observing @ point on the Hudson, at the same distance from the Battery as Sands’ Point, woe on the Boston find the rise of the tide nine inches less than at New York, showing conclusively that the outflow. of Hudson — has the orem to force the tidal wave up the East river, hrough which, if it did not finda aseage way, it is evident that the rise of the tide of New York would be equal to the drainage of the Hudson added to the height of the tidal wave, or about dfteen feet above its present height. It will thus be seen how dangerous it would be to interfere with tue free flow of the East river.” ‘ This statement ana explanations of Captain McKay were most favorably received, and are to be considered by the Department. RAILROAD MURDER. Unsiawfully Ejecting a Man from a Car—A Driver Rosponsible—The Third Avenue Rail- road Censured. Coroner Flynn yesterday afternoon held an in- quest in the case of John W. Coughiin, who was run over in Third avenue, near Thirty-third street, on the night of the 23d ult. by car No. 24 of the Third Aveaue Ratlroad Company, as previously reported in the HERALD. Edward Kiernan, of 441 Third avenue, deposed— That on the night of the occurrence he was a passen- geroncarl4l of the Third Avenue Railroad; at Thirty-third etreet deceased goton the step of the Tear piatform, and the conductor put his hand on the breast of deceased to prevent nis getting in; the conductor then pulled the belland stopped the when the deceased got off; the bell was for the car to start, and the deceased ran front platform to Ret on there, and, as he did 80, the witness swears he saw the driver kick at de- Ceased three or four times; this made deceased draw back towards the other track, and at that Moment @ car (24) coming up at @ rapid rate, knocked down and run ever deceased; the witness thought deceased able to take care of himself, and peed the conductor why he prevented deceased m getting on the car, and he replied that it was the rule of the company; the conductor said his reason for putting deceased off the car was that he ‘was intoxicated, Some other witnesses, including the conauctors and drivers of both cars, Were examined, and the testimony elicited was of a very conflicting charac- ter, but the jury thought one of the drivers and the by ad company responsible for the occurrence. At the conclusion of the investi; the oase was el atinw to tue jury, who ered the following verdict:— “That John Coughlin came to his death by inju- ries received by being run over by car No. 24 of the Third avenue rd September 23, 1870, and we con- sider the driver of car 141 (Charles the cary we further oonsute i rior allow: e car; we tu! ure the company for allow- ing such conduct on their line,’ ssi jagan, on the rendition of the verdict, was re- quired to give bail in the sum of A 000 to answer any indictment which the Grand Jury may find against Him.

Vindication of the Civil Law Against the Clergy. CASE OF THE ISRAELITE BOY COHEN, Peasant Riot and Wounding of Priests. CITY LIFE UNDER ITALIAN RULE. TELEGRAM TO THE WEW YORK HERALD. Roma, Oct. 17—P. M. A special lotter addressed to the HmRaup, and dated in Rome on the 12th instant, has just come tohand here. ‘The writer gives in detail some cu- rious episodes which have been presented and oc- cur daily in the present entire and complete trans- formation ef the city, You can see a broad street in the Leontine City leading to the Castle of St, An- gelo or to St. Peter's still displaying consecrated medals, Madonnas, ‘blessed’? chaplets, rosaries, por- traits of the Pope, and so forth, while the shop windows of the Corso are filied only with por- traits of his Majesty King Victor Emanuel and of General Garibaldi, ‘The soldiers of the Swiss Guard still lounge around the half closed gates of the Vatican. The influx and egress of priests and other ordained visitors to the Vatican is increasing. The Trastevere quarter, adjoining the Leonine City, has become more turbulent and the conduct of the population still worse. Tus place has been the scene of a very terrible and sad disaster. On Satur- Gay a number of peasants from Zaarsgasolo village, who were most probably intoxicated for a long time before, or wno had “drunk themselves mad,” ran a perfect “muck” against all the priests wnom they met, shouting ‘Vengeance on the clergy” and brandishing their daggers. They thus stabbed three priests, one of them in a very dan- gerous manner, The men were secured after some difficulty by the police, and will be punished with the utmost rigor of the law. TUR ISRAELITZ BOY COHEN. During the past week an Israelite family named Cohen invoked the intervention of the civil authort- tes of public safety with the object of obtaining the restitution ef their son, Gutsseppi, who has been de- tained by the priests since the year 1864, and con- fined 1n the first house of Neophytes, who are after- wards sent to the monastery of Santa Maria. ‘tne rector of this monastery endeavored to elude the demands of parents and oficers by stating that “the lad had escaped.” Yesterday, says the HERALD ‘writer, Guisseppi Cohen was discovered dressed in ctvilian's clothes and concealed in a private dwei- Ung. ‘fhe lad was consigned to the care of his family at once, and the superior of the convent and the owner of the dwelling arrested and committed to prison for future trial. Clty Scenes and Life Under the Italian Rule— ‘The Meeting in the Coliseum. The London Times of the 5th of October publishes special letter from Rome, dated on the 23d of Sep- tember, in, which the writer reports the condition of the city as then existing under the rule of the Ital- faus, He says:— There are periods of truce in all important his. tortcal conflicts between nations or facuons, during which enemies temporarily become friends, and the same hands which an hour before dealt mortal blows at eack Other close in a cordial grasp, war cries are exchanged for fraternal salutations, ana the din of arms ts silenced in the pleasanter sounds of rejoic- ing. The days of the 2uth and 2istof September Were a8 @ period of respite or armistice in the annals of the party dissensions of Italy. It was to foresee that i would not be of long duration, and that, sooner or later, the same diMicuities would arise, the same differences on matters of opinion and tendencies, though hushed for the moment, would reappear, and with them the evils of party spirit and faction, Yesterday, although still @ species of after bol day—or what the Germans call “Blue Monday’ — warfare had already begun .between the different Italian factions; and I am sorry to he the govern- ment party again showed that jack of energy and decision Which has proved its weak side ever since Baron Ricasoli retired from the Cabinet, in 186: There 1s, perhaps, no nation In the world 80 easy to overn as the Italians; more especiaily the Roma it is true they talk @ great deal, and their noisy op: position may, thereiore, appear more forinidabie than it really is to a new comer; alter a very few days, however, he would be abie to convince him- self of the harmiessness of their demonstrations, and to perceive that the revolutionary party 13 pos- sessed Of quite as little energy asthe moderates, and that no faction has strength of purpose suiticient to render it seriously obnoxious, * * * The government showed absence of all foresight in the nomination of a municipal body; for to this day even Rome 1s without any competent civil authority. Here, again, instead of making out @ list Of patriotic Romans ef the moderate party capable of inspiring confidence by their social posi- tion, and immediately proclaiming them as the pro- visional géunta, they left all this business to be done by the Romans on the spur of the moment. No wonder, then, that the first list placarded on the walls a3 the actuat authority was almost entirely composed of radicals, among whom many were strangers to the city, and the few names of moderates which figured in it placed there without the previous consent of the arties concerned. Of course it was not recognized yy General Cadorna; but then he published no other to replace it. The conservatives, therefore, seeing this, geized the opportunity and had recourse to the same primitive mode of announcing—1. ¢., by lacards on the walls—and publishea an opposition ist of thoroughly conservative names, which has Just as litte chance of succeeding tn laying noid of the municipal power. Meanwhile the radicals announced a monster meeting in the Coliseum tor yesterday afternoon for the purpose of electing a iunta, £ General Cadorna was completely at nis wit’s end and at a loss what course to pursue. At first he was for forbidding the meeting, wnich would have ave been a most egregious biunder. At length he arrived at the conclusion that it would be wiser to let things take their course and limit his own action to simple surveillance. So the meeting came off yesterday, aud pee could be more character- istic of the people than the proceedings which oc- curred. At three P. M. I drove to the Coliseum, which never looked more imp , With its gigantic pro- portions and its lofty arches standing out with south- ern distinctness against the dark blue sky; and tipped, morever, by a largg silver cloud, apparently resting on its summit like snow on the mountain tops. Crowds of pone distributed on what were once the degrees of t agar amphitheatre, and, numerous as they were, lost in the immensity of space i which they found themselves, just served to make the spectator realize the colossal size of the building and to give animation to the solitude of its ruins. When I arrived in the arena there roe Ce had pone sea pease, ened: amo! ‘ese & large proportion of women belonging to tne. working classes, very few ladies, several yi cers and soldiers unarmed, and, on the whole, far more spectators from curfosity than real actors in the drama. At aso Dast three the wild, excit- ing music of the lierl became audible; there ‘was @ general rush to the doors, and two battalions Of these warlike troops placed themselves on a small erat half past three the sovereign hicd, b past 1¢ BOY people—which, by the way, does not appear to pique itself on the car- dinal virtue of ali sovereigns, punctuality—made its entrance, with lots of fags and preceded by the band belonging to the Roman firemen. The chair- Man and his associates in the committee immedia- proceeded to eccupy the pulpit, which is usually the scene of Capuchin eloquence, and, having gravely placed in front of them @ dozen of what seemed tome to be jam pots, the destination of which I was never able to discover, the meeting was opened. ‘Von ho visto mat! (Angitce, «Well, I never!) said the astonished folks around me, who had evidently not - slightest idea what they were to see and hear. Montecchi, the triumvir o! took the chatr. At his side were Castellani, celebrated jeweller; a species of 1 wealthy oe Pe Duca Lantre (Prince of Monte Feltro), and a er named Carancini, Montecciil’s speech was simple and straightforward, and quite to the purpose, only the purpose itself appeared to me & strange one.

He especially recommended unity, concord and order. ‘This sort of electioneering seemed to me to savor rather of the Cesarean than of the republican char- acter in its primitive style. After reading over the whole list of names his intention was to read it over again, naming each member tely, and giving any one who chose the opportunity of expressing his pinion or stat his objections, and the whole assembly was then to show Its approbation or disapprobation of the name pronounced by acclamation. Hereupon he commenced reading, but was soon interrupted by signs of discontent and disapproval. Some names pelonging to the moderates, or ultra-radicals, were loudly hissed: others received wiva a slenificans abrug of the shoul- nam of Deari a rely admin- This’ giunia” wan, ders. The whole proceediny generally condemned as te uregvlar by my im- mediate neighbors, all workingmon, for L could have oounted the few clean coats I saw there very Gually. Nevertheless, the majority of the names called out being aumitted to be Unobjectionable, or, as they simply termed it, ‘good,’ they declared themselves ready to let the “bad names'’ on the list and vote tue whole lot, When this proceeding ad come to an end a certain Luctant, a young journalist, asked to be neard. He 1s @ well-Known character, belonging to the republican party, and he had rather more than usual weight and author- ity from the circumstance of his nead being bound up in consequence of 4 wound he had received two days before at Piazza 8. Marcello. He began & very eloquent discourse about tho imposing locality where the assembly had met, about ancient Rome, Gave a coup de patie or two to the Consorterta, and was then proceeding to call up the shades of their ancesters, when he was suddenly called to order by the populace exclaiming, “Fa a predica 1 and “$f cominictan cost 1" (“Why, he 13 beginnin; to preach | “Well, uf they bein like that !’’) an then nearly all, with their shrewdness aud common sense, out, “Alla Questions 1" + stone 1’ (“Come to the point |? “Finish |") and “Le omobre verranno dopo" (“The shades of our aaces- tors may come afterwards !”), ‘The young orator Was put completely out of countenanoe, but, jon hearing from al! sides cries of “Part, ma non dt ombre” (‘Speak away, but let the 3! 3 alone”), he took Hoe again and recommenced, this time attac the King and Cadoraa for laying hold o} vernment of Rome belore the plebiscite, But this would not’ do at all, and he met with such violent interruptions that at length he was forced to give it up altogether. Mon- tecchi then endeavorea to explain the drift of Luci- auni’s discourse, and succeeded in doing so by clever misrepresentation, telling the assembled crowd that it was the desire of the preceding orator that a political = “giunta"’ should elected, but Vhat he (Monteccht) assured them that the Administrative Council Relig about to make Out the electoral lists, it would come to the same thing in the end, and parnet on quickly to the votes for the entire list, as he had begun to perceive the disposition of the assembly. With @ geod many shrugs 01 the shouiders the total list passea, and the chairman then deciared that henceforward @ fac- tious minority alone could object to it atter having been ablezany accepted by the majoruy of the Roman peopie. Remark, tf you please, that tue lower classes exclusively were represented*in the meeting; that 10,000 is the outside number of those present, and that this moclude a large proportion of women and children, The significant behavior of this sensible popula- tion had, however, not failed in making a certain impression on the radical committee, by whom, tll then, the royal name had not been pronounced, and Carancint suggested that the President shoud submit the list to his Majesty, which suggestion ‘was received with loud cheer ‘The same orator then proceeded to praise the army in the highest terms, proposed that a monument should be erected in honor to Major Pagilert and of Lieutenant Valenalano, basely murdered at Porta Pid, After tais came a few lukewarm evvivas to the King and to General Cadonra, but there was literally no end to the shouting and cheering as soon as the popular name of poor old Garibaldi was pronounced. “Gare 1baidt @ Roma" was the universal cry, and surely these good iolks know better than the General him- self where he ought to be just now. At @ quarter before five the mecting broke up, and the whole pro- cession, preceded by the band and waving countless bes marched out through the ruins of the Temple of Venus, and Rome, crowded with spectators, past be Capitol, not tatojit, as they first signed, into the Jorso. ‘Che city has already reassumed in great part its eVeryday aspect. Tricolored flags are still to be seen waving from many windows, but they are be- ginning to look weary and are losing their freauness, and the air of festivity which hung about the whole town three days ago, enlivening and brightening everything arouod, has given way to that uncom- fortable, indescribable sensat-on one has when one happens to dnd oneself in a baliroom after a bril- lant /éce at five or six o’clock in the morning, ana prosy, matter-of-tact, intrusive daylight will come peeping through clefts and crevices of doors and shutters, as if to show what is passing behind the scenes and how much is always due to decorative talent and clever ‘mise en scene” in all public de monstrations of excitement, let them be ever so elevated in their sources and aims. Of course, how- ever, the contrast 1s less forcible in a couatry like this than it would be elsewhere, in our northern cilmes for instance; working days here baving al- ways, more or less, @ holiday appearance, Week days being often as bright or more so than our Sunday and ote days, and decoration and theatrical em- bellshments entering 30 largely into every day life in Italy, One principal feature of Rome, the richly va- riegated ecclesiastical costumes, Which generally add 80 Wuch to the Characterisile picturesqueness of the streets, 1s still missing toa great extent, although priests and monks are slowly begiuning to venture Umidiy out of their haunts of concealment, lise Snails, Worms or other scared animals after a heavy thunderstorm, At the corners of the streets may 0c- casionally be observed a /rate, looking about hiin in alarm and disinay, or the jolly, fat face of a portly cu. rato, full of curiosity and desire to see What is really going on. I have even seen a few very darling Mon- signort, in their violet robes, venturing tu show their dignified persons under protection of their old- fashioned, unwieldy carriages, and actually came across one or two gliding tiuidly through the streets: on foot, with the downcast eyes and humble de- meanor which 18 so prominent among the Fret and Belgian clergy.

Of course nothing was found, for the simple reason that no such correspondence as that alleged was in existence, and both the Prussian and Portuguise Miniate ve addressed strong protests to General Cadorna upon the subject of his unwarrantable indig- nity to a distinguished ecclesiastic, but failed to ob- tala any satisfaction. ‘the Letter from the King of Prussia to the Pope.

In the Court of Oyer and Terminer in Brooklyn yesterday, before Judge Tappen and Associate Jus- tices, Frank Archibald was) tried on the charge of having committed perjury on the trial of the “Dal- zell divorce case.’’ The circumstances on which this last case 18 based are briefly as follows:— Augustus 9S. Dalzell sued for a divorce from his wife and retained the noterious “lawyer,” William J. Fisher, to rush the thing through. ‘Mrs. Daizell was absent from the country at the time the case came before the referee, and Dalzell was at sca.

TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Havana, Oct. 16, 1870, Teend this despatch to Key West, hoping it may reach New York. On the 6th mst, the barometer fell rapidly, at the same time the wind commenced to blow, increasing in violence until evening, when the storm increased, The wind was from the northeast. It continued to blew heavily all night, In the morning it lulled a ‘luttle, but in the afternoon it broke forth again with redoubled violence. The Captain of the Port signal led the approaching danger. The vessels in the harbor got up steam and moved to secure places, where they dropped their storm anchors, and thus they reposed in comparative safety. . THE NIGHT OF THE SEVENTH. On the night of the 7th 1t blew a perfect hurricane, though it did not equal the storm which blew over the island in 1865, The greatest consternation pre- valled among the inhabitants. All the doors and windows of the houses were barred and the streets were deserted at an early hour. No person was abroad. The howling of the winds was terrific, IN THE MORNING the storm had much abated and people ventured forth, A visit to one of the wharves in the harbor showed much less damage had been done than was expected, Several vessels had drifted ashore during the night, but sustamed no injuries beyond some damage tothe rigging, which can be repaired at little cost. A number of lighters had also gone aground, THE DAMAGE IN HAVANA. In this clty several small houses were completely unroofed. The window blinds and eaves of others ‘Were torn off by the violence of the winds. All the trees in the park were blown downand the greater portion of the flowers and shrubbery in the vartous gardens and places in the city have been destroyed. Fortunately no lives were lost, The ratiroads out of the city are not running any cars as the roads havo been greatly damaged by water. The telegraph wires are all down. A DREADFUL STORY FROM MATANZAS, A messenger who arrived here from the city of Matanzas last night says that the heavy rains and winds which prevailed there caused a junction of the San Juan and Yumuri rivers, which run at dif- ferent sides of the town, submerged tho suburbs of Versalles and overflowed the adjoining country. TWO THOUSAND LIVES LOST. It is estimated that two thousand persons have been drowned. WRECK OF PROPERTY. The bridges San Luis, Baen and Yumurt have all been swept away. The warehouses situated on the San Juan river have been destroyed. The city has been rendered completely desolate. NEWS FROM CARDENAS. Reports which have come to hand from Cardenas fay that great damage has also been done there. ‘The lower part of the clty was laid waste. The in. terior of the island back of Cardenas ana Matamoras 8 desolated.t At Guines many houses have been unroofed, # church tower blown down and the trees in the plaza prostrated. Therice flelds in the vicinity of the town have ail been destroyed. There was great loss to cooperage and stock in the ware- houses on the low ground at Matanzas, which was all destroyed. The influx of the sea caused a great rise in the rivers; when the sea receded everything Was swept away by the returning flood. THE STORM IN THE COUNTRY. Reports from various places throughout the coun- try say that the plaintain groves and thousands of trees have been completely destroyed. The cane, being somewhat backward this season, sustains less damage than other crops. In the estimation of some the hurricane was the most severe which has visited this island within a century. THE SHIPPING. The steamer Villa Clara went ashore at Key Hacka, It ts expected she can be got otf. Other coasting steamers are reported safe. A despatch from Santiago de Cuba dated tne loth, reports the loss of the French steamer Darten. All on board were saved. The passengers and corre. spondence have arrived in Santiago de Cuba. ‘The City of Merida from Vera Cruz, and the Tyne, for St. Thomas, salied from here on Sunday, and tho Missouri left last evening, but they had to return this morning in consequence of the violence of the northwest wind which was blowing at tue time and which has raged since yesterday. The following ts a list of the total wrecks at Matan- Zas:— Brig Baxter, of New York; bark Hunt, of Port land; brig Charles K., of Portland; schooner Edwin, of Bridgeport. ‘The following vessels were damaged :— Schooner Palmer, of Bath; bark Mary.

HAvaNa, Oct, 11, 1870, The steamer Missouri left this harbor atan early hour this morning en route for New York, but en- countered outside such a heavy sea as rendered it prudent for the captain to return, enabling me to furnish you with an addenda to my despatch of yes- terday concerning the recent hurricane here, As I write there is blowing @galefrom the northwest, which has continued since Saturday last, and it ia reported that a frightful storm is raging in the Gulf. The sky has been overcast since the subsidence of the hurricane, and frequent showers of rain have falien. This morning the city was startled with the news of the frightful results of the storm tn Matanzas, a Place of about forty thousand inhabitants, about sixty miles cast of Havana. It is situated on a sort of peninsula, facing the bay, the Yumurt river fow- ing upon the north side and the San Juan upon the south, Across the former is the suburb of Versalles vial ground, That portion of the city bordering upon the bay is also very low. According to the accounts which have been received here the heavy rains which have fallen there, combined with the effect of the wind, caused the overflow of the two rivers, the waters of which met in crossing the city, causing immense destruction of life and property. All communication with Matanzas, both by telegraph and mail, has been cut off since the hurricane, and the news was brought here by a messenger to the Captain Generai, who came on horssback, arriving last evening. But few of the details have trans- Pirea. It1s known that the suburbs mentioned were overfiown, and the estimated number of those who perished istwo thousand, The warehouses on the banks of the San Juan river were entirely de- stroyed, and the bridges Bailew and San Luis over the San Juan and the Yumurt over the river of that name washed away. It 1s safe, moreover, to con- clude that millions of both pubuc and private pro- perty have been lost, Owing to the want of communication but little is as yet known of the effecta of the storm throngh- out the island, A gentleman recently arrived from Guines states that in that place the roofs and win- dows of many of the houses were partially destroyed, One of the towers of the church was thrown down and the other greatly injared, while the débris fall. ing on the adigining houses caused much damage, and the latter the Pueble Nifios, both upon low allu- | q —S ‘The quarters of the Cuardicd Oil! sumerea greauy, and the trees on the Plaza weve thrown down. Many of the poor are suffering from want of shelter, ‘The rice felds im the , qralok were ready for harvesting, have bee rained. On the estate “Mendoza’? all the houses save the one occupied by the overseer were thrown down. Reports from the country generally as far agxe> Celved indicate great damage to the sugar crop. ‘The ptantain groves and thousands of trees have been enurely overthrown. The Havana Railroad has suffered greatly from the hurricane, A train left the depot on Saturday the Sth at 2:45 P. M., but was not able to pass San Me- lpe, owing to the amount of water on the track, amd 80 returned; nor has a train been able to reagh Bata- Dano since that tne, A despatch reached here this morning from Sam- tlago de Cuba announcing the loss of the Faenca steamer Daricn, five leagues to the windware of Guantanamo. All on board were saved and the pas- sengers and correspondence had arrived at tho Gxet mentioned place. Much anxiety has been felt here tn referesicete the steamers which ply along the coast of Ouba. ‘They were mostly constructed for river boats and are not of @ character to encounter « heavy storm. ‘The following reports bave been received:—TRe Villa Clara, which gated from here friday evening, shortly before the hurrieane began, was discovered em the 9th, aground on the Key Hacha, five iagues frou: Batabano, without baving sustained any damage. ‘The Iagua was sent to her aasiatance. The Almendario left Sagua at nine o'cloce on the morning of Thursday, and is reported safe at Car- densa. The Cienfuegos, which should fave sailed frou Batabano on Fridaday last, did Lot go out. The Cayero started from Cardenas at catly dawa. on Friday, but put back, No nottice has been received of the steamer Espsfia, whioh ran aground a few days since at the hea@or Key Selba, eight leagues west of Santa Crus, Tao Carolina had gone out to her assistance from Baar taago de Cuba.
