The award was Just and the decision calculated to make nations careful, while it was eminently serviceable for the Protection of English shipping and commerce in time of war." He praised Mr. Disraeli for his forbearance and diseretion during the progress of the negotiations. KINGS COUNTY POLITICS. The Brooklyn Black Boys—The Colored Grant Brigade in Council. The colored men held a grand mass meeting last night in the African Methodist Episcopal church, 1n Bridge street, near Myrtle avenue, under the auspices of the Colored Citizens’ Association. They issued an address to the colored citizens urging them to support Grant and Wilson and reorganize the associations of the respective wards and dis- tricts of the city which would enabie the colored republicans to present a solid front on the day of election. They say they have suffered everything from proscription, and would continue to suffer until they were relieved by the measures of the Legislature of the State of New York to confer civil rights as the inheritance of the ireemen. After the meeting had been called to order Mr. L, H. Putnam was called to the chair. Resolutions were adopted to the effect that they would on next Tuesday work with untiring effort to elect the en- tire republican ticket und strive to give the liberal republican ticket a Waterloo defeat. Speeches were made by Rev. William F, Butler, Mr. Putnam, Rev. A. N. Freeman, Peter Downing, of Newport, N. J., and others, ev. Mr. Butler said that the colored people were greatly indebted to the repub- lican party, for it was clearly through their instru- mentality that the colored citizens of this whole country had been secured their political rigits. ‘They should by all means cast their votes for the nepopllan candidates on the day of election. ir. Putnam likewise urged the colored men to present a bold front on election day, not merely to elect General Grant, but to send men to the Legis- lature to secure them their civil rights in this State. They should support men who would in j turn advocate the cause of the colored people, The Reformers’ Failure. The Citizens’ Reform Association of 100 made an effort to get up a mass meeting last night at the Brooklyn Atheneum, in Atlantic street, It was anfiduiced that eminent speakers would be present and Address the meeting in favor of local reform and the endorsement of the candidates for the offices selected by the committee. A number of the committee were present and a few of the speakers, but there was no one to address, as the audience did not put inan appearance. They are to make another attempt to get up a meeting on Saturday night, Kings County Election Canvass. For several years past the mode of canvassing the election returns of Kings county, by police telegraph, has been simply outrageous. The can- vass of the vote for Secretary of State last year, for instance, was not completed for three days, when it should have been all in, over the wires at Police peeved Brooklyn, tor the accommo- dation of the press, by nine o’clock on the evening of the day of election. But the difficulty lay in the faet that the candidates for minor local offices, knowing the canvassers, influenced them to count their ballots first. The consequence was appa- rent—no returns from Kings county. Last year the first vote received from the canvessers was “for Alderman” of the Fifth ward. The next heard from was of a miserable Constable in some remote suburban district. The State ticket, upon which all interest centred, came in last, in che course of two or three days. It is to be ed that this outr will not again be attem} , but that the people, through their representatives, the press, will be early in the night advised of the popular verdict. The vote for Prest- dential Electors should be the first canvassed, for Governor second, then Congress, and so on to the last and least important ofice. There can be no excuse for neglecting this matter, and canvassers by bearing it in mind, and ignoring the importuni- ties of over-solicitious small-iry candidates on Tues- day next, will only be doing their duty to the pub- lic in whose interest they are employed. INFECTED STRAW. pe Important Orders from the Health. At a meeting of the Board of Health, held yester- Gay afternoon, the following report was received from the Sanitary Committee and the subjoined orders made upon the report of the Board :— The Sanitary Committee respectfully submit the follow ing report upon the petition of certain parties to be al- lowed to deposit the stable straw upon vacant lots :— Tn the opinion of the commi ie straw accumu. lating in the staples of this city since the prevalence of the present epidemic should be regarded and treatea as infected. It has received and becomes saturated with the discharges of the sick horses, and is hence liable and undoubtedly does contain contagtous or infectious matter. This straw should be so treated as to destroy such con- tagious matter. Simply accumulating this straw on vacant lots would not only not destroy any contagious or infectious rial contained in it, but, by the process ot rotting, such contagion would doubtless be greatby multiplied, Again, the necessary handling of the straw, both in its transportation and overturning while it is un- dergoing the bh ma of decomposition, would tend to liberate and disseminate such contagion. There are but tw thods of treating this st 80 as to effeciually aly A the contagious matter, viz. :—First, by combus- ; decond, by sultable disinfectants. The most effectual maptpod bY combustion.

In the railroad, si and lay err stables where there is ample yard space this method of posing: of straw could be enforced without much (if anv) danger or inconvenience, But the straw of the private stables ‘would have to be conveyed to vacant lots.

Gttlager, a local artist of consider- able popularity, and possessed of a very fine, well- cultivated soprano voice, gave a musical entertain- ment last evening at Irving Hall, which was well attended and by an audience of a fashionable kind. -Sefior Agramonte oMciated as conductor on the occasion, and had under him a chorus of ladies and gentlemen and an orchestra of the noisiest description. The opera of ‘“Lurline"’ formed the entertainment, with a few airs from other works of Wallace thrown in. The solo parts were sung by Mrs, Gillager, Miss Antonia Henne, and Messrs, Leggat, Remmertz and_herr- man. The ladies acquitted themselves very creditably, and although the cir- cumstances were unfavorable towards giving any complete idea of the charming music of this chef a’euvre of the best of English composers, yet the soprano and contralto gave entire satisfaction, Mrs. Gllager sings like @ true artist and with a thorough appreciation of the ideas of a composer, and we have no superior in the contralto line in this city to Miss Henne. The baritone, Mr. Rem- mertz, comes in next for a share of praise. He sung the lovely aria, “A Father’s Love,” with a feeling and expression that made it one of the most attractive features of the opera. Tne tenor and bass were not equal to the occasion and did not do justice to the music set down for them. The ghorus was excellent and well balanced, but thelr efforts were effectually piuireused by an ill-disciplined, blatant orchestra, fhe harp passages in the opera were nicely done by Mr. Toulmin. Taking into consideration the representation of an opera on the concert stage, without any accessories of mise en scene, costume, &c., the performance was very creditable, always excepting the execrable orchestra. ‘The fair songstress who devised the entertainment contri- buted the largest share to the success of the even- ing. The acoustic qualities of the hall are also of a nature calculated to show the qualities of an artist’s voice to the best possible advantage. MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL ZOTES.

Last evening the great hall of the Cooper Insti- tute was crowded to excess by a fashionable audience to listen to the eloquent Dominican monk’s (Father Thomas Burke’s) lecture on “Ire- land’s Nanctity as Reflected in the Life of St. Lawrence O'Toole.” The lecture was delivered for the benefit of BH veto ele Church, the pastor of which is the Rev.J.McGean. The audience listened with close attention to the eloquent priest’s de- acription ofthe life of the great O'Toole, who was at once an archbishop, a prince and a fighting man. Preparations are now being made by the Committee of Arrangements to engage the Acad- emy of Music for a series of five lectures to be de- livered by Father Burke in answer to the lectures Hivered on the history of Ireland by Mr. James Anthony Froude.

Heartrending Scenes on the Flaming Vessel. FIRST ALARM OF “FIRE.” Territied Passengers Warned of Death at the Breakfast Table. LAUNCHING AND SWAMPING THE BOATS, Captain Greene as Last Seen Bat- tling with the Flames, ADDITIONAL VICTIMS. Names of Those Not Given in the First List. Kay West, Fia., Oct. 81, 1872. The following particulars of the burning of the steamship Missouri have been obtaiped from the survivors who arrived here :— When the boat which was saved left the burning ship one boat was seen with its keel upwards, which had two men on it. The rescued boat lay for two hours by a swamped boat containing nine men, including the engineers, firemen and ship's barber. A bucket was given to the inmates of the swamped boat to bail with, there being two in the rescued boat. As there were no seamen in the swamped boat they were unable properly to manage it, and in this condition they were left. It is not likely that any of them were saved. NO SAILS HAD BERN SREN for two days previous to the fire. On that day the Missouri was in company with a ship from a quar- ter past nine A. M. until three P. M., when she was lost sight of. For forty minutes after the rescued left the Missouri they saw the passengers and crew who remained on board crowded on the alter part of the vessel. WHERE THE FIRE WAS DISCOVERED. It {8 sala the fire was first discovered on the floor of the locker in the pantry, and the cry of fire was immediately given. Wet carpets were im- mediately put on the fire by the pantrymen and others, and the stewards reported to the passen- gers that the fire was out, ‘The alarm was given while the passengers were at breakfast, but on receiving the stewards’ report that the fire had been extinguished the breakfast was Tesumed and the fears of the passengers quieted. Within two minutes, however, several voices screamed ‘Fire!’ from the stokehole. All was then confusion. Within twenty minutes THREE BOATS WERE LAUNCHED. In the rescued boat, with the exception of a few pieces of sugarcane, there was neither food nor water, and only two small oars anda large one; neither were there any sails nor anything to make them of. It was from nine o'clock in the morning of the 22d until two o’clock in the aiternoon of the 23a before assistance was obtained. At that time the schooner Spy was sighted, and the rescued party pulled vigorously to her. The Spy took the survi- vyors to Hopetown, on Elbow Key, where they arrived about seven P. M. on the 23d. On the 24th a schooner was sent towards the burning ship, with charts and full directions where 1o find her, and with instructions to LOOK FOR THE SHIP'S BOATS and skirt the coast. The schooner returned about midnight on the 24th, and reported having seen nothing of the boats or passengers, The sea was then breakiing heavily in the reefs. The party left Hopetown at ten o'clock on the 26th, and arrived at Nassau at half-past two P. M. on the 28th, It is sald that the donkey pumps of the steamer were never started, ong of the passengers asserting that he had hold Gf the hose some time and that no water Was forced through it on the flames from the doukey. Two deck pumps were worked a few minutes only. sia salaried Within fifteen minutes after the alarm of fire was given the twelve survivors were in the boat, and the flames Were coming from the stokehole in a volume, The ship's course was never altered, and consequently the fames were carried athwartships, burning up one lifeboat on the lee side and mak- ing it too hot to get the others off, Only three boats were launched, two of which were swamped. It is said that SEVEN FEMALES AND SEVEN CHILDREN were aboard the Missouri, none of whom got into the boats. The scene presented was heartrending. Not over twenty minutes elapsed after the fire was discovered before the three boats were launched. The Missouri's engines were stopped, but her sails were left spread and a speed of four knots was inaintained. THE LAST SEEN OF THE CAPTAIN. When last seen Captain Greene was working with Purser Hempstead and some of the crew, trying to get off the lee boat, surrounded with smoke and flame. Eleven of the survivors say that the boat was never launched, but, Captain Culmer, the twelfth, says it was launched full of people, but that it was immediately swamped. Strange Conduct of Customs Officers at Key West. Key West, Fia., Oct. 31, 1872. The only expense incurred in this port by the little English steamer Anna, belong to the Atlantic Mall Steamship Company, which brought to this port the survivors of the ill-fated steamship ‘Missouri from Nassau, was forced upon her by the United States customs officers, who even charged her with tonnage dues for twelve months in ad- vance. Every one else with whom the Anna had business worked willingly and gratuitously, Another pposed Victt: Norwicn, Conn,, Oct. 31, 1872. George H. Norris, of this city, was among the passengers of the ill-fated Missouri, His name does not appear in the list, as he took’ p only an hour before she sailed. THE NEWS IN THE CITY. Inquires at the Atlantic Mail Steamship Company’s Office—Full List of the Lost— Colon: Cleveland and Hi Servants Lost—Se: at His Partner's Business Place Yesterday. ‘The shock of the terrible disaster that destroyed the ill-fated steamer Missouri and consigned no less than seventy-six persons to a watery grave or worse was felt all over the city yesterday very keenly, The completeness of the Catastravhg and the scantiness of the list of saved in proportion to the lst of the lost was everywhere commented upon, and whatever may be the result of a calmer judgment on the matter, to ve taken when the mail has brought on to New York the full details of the accident and the stories of the survivors, there is for the present an evident disposition to hold the steamship company to a strict account should it prove that they have been guilty of criminal recklessnesa, “NO MORE News of the disaster Was received yesterday, nor is it likely that there will be until the Morro Castle ar- rives here in fouror five days’ time. The Morro Castle has been instructed by telegraph to call in at Nassau on her way from Havana, and bring on such of the saved as may be desirous of returning to New York. The STORY OF THR WRECK, 80 far as the main facts are concerned, however, is already plain enough from the despatches pub- lished in the HRRALD of yesterday, and it does not require a very vivid imagination to fill up the pic- ture with the thrilling and heartrending incifents with which it must have been marked, ‘The sudden alarm, the growing terror of the unhappy voyagers as it became clear that there was no hope of saving the ship, the lowering and swamp- ing of the boats and the despairing struggles of the drowning unfortunates—we have all read of such Scenes often enough before to be able to realize without dimculty the burning and wreck of the Missouri, SOMR OF THE BEREAVED. The office of the Atlantic Mail Steamship Com- pany was yesterday visited by a number of people interested in the disaster. The wives of some of the drowned seamen were. among the num- ber, but to their tears and their eager in- quiries about the fate of their husbands the clerk could give nothing in reply beyond what they had already learned from the newspapers— that outside of the twelve persons known to have escaped there have been no lives saved, and can- not have been except by good fortune little short ofa miracle, These poor widows Ustened to the truth with quiet and calmness; their sorrow and griet were, probably, too real and keen to be ex- pressed in theatrical scenes or noisy hysterics. A NARROW ESCAPE. One gentleman also called in at the office to tell how fortunate he had been in escaping being a vic- tim of the disaster. He was a personal friend of Captain Green, and had been for many years, and, having occasion to go to Havana, made all his arrangements to go on the last trip of the Missouri, His trunk was packed, bis adieus to his friends were all formally made, and he had not the faintest doubt about going, when suddenly, within a few hours of the hour of sailing, he received news which compelled his remaining in the city. It was a hairbreadth escape; but of course such things always occur in connection with the voyages of all vessels, whether they founder in mid ocean or safely reach port. THE BOATS. The oMcials of the steamship company say that they have been unjustly criticised in regard to the boats. The Missouri carried six lifeboats, each of which would be capable of accommodating twenty- five persons, according to the new law, or thirty, if the requirements of the old law were still in force. ‘The boats were all in good condition, of an ap- proved pattern, and their swamping was probably fnevitable from the welght of the waves and the fury of the storm. The Missouri carried more than the required complement of life buoys and life pre- servers. CAPTAIN GREEN, the commander of che unfortunate vessel, has been in the employ of the company for five years, and ‘was a capable and experienced seaman, He was about fifty-five years of age and had followed the sea all his life. Strange to say, however, the only previous disaster which has marked the annals of the company occurred to a vessel, the Eagle, while under his command. In that case the wreck ‘was complete, not a single spar being saved, but all the passengers and crew were preserved. ‘The full list of those who have perished ts as fol- lows:— THE DRATH ROLL.
