And He shal jodge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords into Pesatahiarce: and their spears into pruning.hooks, Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” This passage Mr. cher said was an ex- altant provision that should come when nations should be governed eg God's will, the highest moral sentiments. ¢ day is coming when men who enter upon public life shall be noble morally, and when tnat takes place there shall be no war, and when that was brought about it would be by the mind of the man of the people, the laborers and theartisans ‘being acted upon in that direction. The greatest obstruction to this progress of mankind is the a of the faculties of men. He did not | believe that the time was come, or was nearly come, when nations could exist without an armed it muncipalities could exist without police, which was another form of armed force. Neither had the time come when the family could ly to exist without a certam degree of | force. But this was because some of the eevage elements of the earlier con- dition of mankind remained. The time had now arrived when there should be organization for the ence Of the world. We have in every city, vil- age, and town organizations for the keeping of the paace, and the time is rapidly coming when nations shall organize for the same purpose. But this could not be accomplished until the great mass of mankind had been educated. Hitherto the mass of men had been in favor of everything that would carty the nationinto war. In our day the ‘ INSPIRED FEW were directing their thought in this direction. But then the inspired few are generally prophets with- ont nF following, and are generaily like John the Baptist, who prepare the way and make straight pacts, for those who follow, and who ei crying in ‘he wilderness “Prepare ye the way of the Lord.”* The source of thought 1s with the intelligent and the inspired few, and the source | sof power, that is with the oe who | transform this thought into fact. To accomplish | this the common people must be on the side of the thoughtful, and this inspired few. If they mean war, you cannot stop it; if they mean peace, you monstrated among them right views as to peace and war. Any movement in the direction of labor emaacipating itself partially from the depressing and matcrializing effect of continuous labor “Do you suppose I am an Internationalist because I aycipa. thize with Internationalists ? Do you suppose I | am a Communist because I sympathize with the men of the Commune ?”’ said Mr.- Beecher; “No, I regard their theories as somethin; «men who seek by banding ther to the yokes from their necks that bind them to the labor that enchains their body and soul are greatly to be commended. If they have learned in their bondage a higher philosophy and rise to assert their manliness shall they be dJudged with the same severity and called to ac- count with the same uncompromising spirit that you woul, inctitute against the Acudemy of | Seience? No; to these men shouid be addressed words of comfort and encouragement, and I would Jet religion say to these men what it has never *$aid to all the peoples of the world yet, ‘Come unto me all ye that labor,’ The enthusiasm of the «ommon people in their desire to litt themselves ‘ought to be the testimony of our age. I hold that every. government, to say nothing about charches, {is bound to enforce education aupon. rere chiid. It ought to put the ballot box behind bad schoolhouse, so that when it comes to vote it should do so through the schoolhouse.” Mr, Beecher then said he would submit a few reasons to show why the mass of | qaen should be educated so as to have @ voice in whe taking of meagures for the tr ty PREVENTION OF WAR. ‘The laboring man and the Cnristian would have van interest common against the interest by which wars have been made. The men who made war wore generally people whose interests were op- posed to those of the common people. Let the na- tions make as many arrangements as af pleasea as to taxation, it was a fact that, alter all, a great jortion of taxation came upon the common people. There were 5,000,000 of armed men in the Chris- tian lands of Europe, besides 5,000,000 more that formed armies of reserve. The cost of this was $25,000,000,00, and eighty-three to ninety per cent of the taxatipn of Europe was for the support of that army. In view of this fact it is scarcely possible to believe that there is any reiigion In the world or that there had been any Christ. Is it any marvel that men everywhere, in village debating | societies, should be asking themselves whether they will allow this to continue? In Russia since there has been every year an expenditure over income for the purposes of war, so that now 4he has to raise loans by every device she can think of, Im Austria since 1789 there has becn a similar condition of things, until her debt now reaches $3,000,000,000. The kingdom of Italy, that could be so prosperous, is nearly bankrupt by debt in consequence of war. The ideal of Christianity is absolute peace, but Chrie -tianity bas not yet attained to that ideal. For the correction of all this there must be an interna- tional congress, I think the time has come when we might attempt a national congress, whereby all na- tions could agree upon certain laws, It has been attempted in relation to commerce and has suc- ceeded. When the Church of God rises trium- hantly to this work then it will be accomplished, Sr Beecher closed with an eloquent summary of the advantageous position in which America stood for aiding in the accomplisument of this.

A BANK SMASH, ae Suspension of the Wallkill National Bank of Middletown—Disappearance of the Cashicr—What the Northwestern Gale in Wall Street Did=Tne Affairs of the Institation Being Investigated by the State Superintendent—Distress of the Too-Confiding Farmers. MIDDLETOWN, N. Y., Nov, 28, 1872. For some time past much distrust has been felt among business men in the Wallkill National Bank, an institution in this place, which was organized some years ago, and started under most favorable circumstances, That the funds of the concern | were being used by certain of its officers in sundry speculations has been a common rumor; but it ‘was not until the latter part of last week that gen- eral aldrm was manifested as to the affairs of the nk, On Saturday last the cashier of the bank, Charlies H. Horton, disappeared, and it became known that a draft on the bank -for a compara- the Park Bank, in New York, agents of the Wallkill Bank, on Monday @ Tun commenced, continuing until | Tuesday‘noon, when the bank was forced to close its doors. The board of directors met yesterday to look into the affairs of the concern, when THE MOST ALARMING DEVELOPMENTS were made. It was found that Mr. William M. Graham, who was formerly State Senator from this county, President of the bank, and Mr. Charles H. Horton, the cashier, were defauiters in an amount which is estimated at $100, ‘ wae 000, money be- lon} 0 de) doifans work P jitors, and in several thousands of of bonds, left in the bank for sale keeping, Upon this becoming known the greatest excite- ment prevailed, Graham. the President, stoutly denied any knowledge of the irregularities in the bank, and, it is said, declares that Horton must be responsible for the whole diMficuity, This is not generally believed. The greatest sympathy pre- vails for Horton, who has always been a most exemplary man, and it is thought has been led step by step into the whirlpool of Wall street, where he has been finally swallowed up. THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT of Banks has been notified ot the complicated state of the books of the Wallkill Bank, and an examiner to clear up the uncertainty that surrounds them is expected here to-day. orton, the cashier, who has absconded, is the son-in-law of Mr. Elisha P. Wheeler, of this place, one of the most prominent politicians in the State, ana has long enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the entire community. He is the Supervisor of this town, and was the candidate of the democrats and liberals of the Twelfth district for Congress during the late canvass, being defeated by Hon. Charles St. John. Mr. Horton used large sums of money in the canvass, and this probably hastened the crisis in his affairs. There appears to be no doubt in the minds of men who know here that he hag been induced to use THE FUNDS OF THE BANK in conjunction with Graham, who is an old finan- cier, and a man in whom Horton always placed the eatest confidence. Horton is now in New York, nt his exact whereabouts are not known. ‘The suspension of the Wallkill Bank will cause much financial depression hereabout, and if no other failures follow it will be surprising. ‘As is always to be expected in such cases, the gmail d tors are the greatest sufferers, Tne farmers living in the immediate vicinity have al- waye made this bank the depository of their say- ings, and no idea can be formed of the bitterness they feel towards the institution, THE STOCKHOLDERS, of course, will be compelled to make good all losses to depositors, but the delay that will be necessary in getting at settlements will cause much embar- rassment in all branches of business. Work will robably be suspended in the State Homepathic fosane ‘Asylum here, as its fands were deposited in the suspended bat If that should be the case, hundreds of men will be thrown out of employ for some time.

To THR EpIToR OF THE HERALD:— We send you the accompanying and ask you to make it public immediately. We know that you belong to the aristocratic classes in sentiment, as well ag position. Your paper we regard as bitterly opposed to labor movements, and, consequently, we have no love for you. But we have agreed to give you the opportunity of securing the first news regarding future movements and to seem to know more of us and our proceedings, &c., than any other journaiist, if you like to accept our offer. As & journalist it will be to your advantage to be able to write prophetic editorials several days in ad- vance of a projected movement of destruction, Now, we offer to be faithful to you and give you the “signs,” if you are faithful to us and publish our warnings, If you are not faithful we will be faith- ful to youin no way. Science has at last put into our hands the weapons we want. We desire not to do any more destruction than ts necessary to arouse Capitalists to the knowledge that they can- not long oppress labor in this country; and that we shall do. We chose Boston, and the locality in Boston, both for mercilul and other reasons, which must be obyious to you. How well the work was done you know. But we would tell you of one fact, which you will not suspect. The papers have told us of the “explosions” which occurred during the fire, and attributed them to various causes—vol- umes of heated air finding vent, &c. All that is Scientific enough; but a single ball, which you can clasp in your hand, not larger than a medium-sized apple, and costing to manufacture but ninety-two cents, did more destruction, by way of sudden dis- integration, than anything else there; and it was thrown into the fire while at least two policemen were close to the propellant and a crowd of citi- zens besides, That ball, sir, ig the greatest discov- ery of modern chemistry, and its composition is known only to men who care not jor personal ag- grandizement, who are devoted to the emancipa- tion of labor and who are pledged to live and die, if necessary, in the cause; and we hope you will see that we are not altogether ignorant iaborers and artisans. We have struggled for learning enough to enable us to cope with the educated in- tellect which capital employs against labor, and we now have things in our hands, Kings ‘aud “Chris- tians’”’ have set us the example of destruction in maintaining their nations and iactions, They were wise. It is necessary still, probably, that blood shall fow and weaith be destroyed—whole districts be devastated, But tls time it must be the men who oppress lubor who are to die, and it must be the capitalists’ property that shall be destroyed, If need be, to arouse the laboring classes and the capitalists, Propositions are made, we see, to iu- crease the force of fire departments, by means of “steamers,’’ &c., and ‘wise men!!’’ are talking of systems of arresting fire by blowing up houses. Now, you may, if you like, give. hint to your read- ers that there is no necessity for wasting time or labor over these matters, The more water thrown into a spot destined to destruction by us, the surer we are to do our work well, We know more of the chemistry of destruction than all other#, and, as for blowing up houses, that is of no import. Had ‘we 50 designed, ail Boston would have been laid in ashes, “ireprooi” buildings are no longer of any import, Let the Mansard roofs go up again in Bos- tou, or puild them as the French do, or build them of solid granite—it 1s allone, The new Post Oftico is to be fireproof. We can stand on your steps and tumble it down. This fact willsuftice you. Hewho writes (or scrawls) this was of the Commune. You, in common with the rest of the American press, abused us—mostly because you are Opposed to true berty, some of you because you were ignorant. The scars the writer bears, and his doubtiul health, won in the holy war o1 the Commune and elsewhere for hu- manity, are constant prompters to duty against the tyrants of the race. You get bloated with Wealth and forget the struggling artisan, Here, in America, is the last battle-ground of labor, and it shall win, Wg ask you todo all you can in your paper for advocacy of co-operative movements, Help us all you can. Do not compel us to lay waste more than necessary.“ We are middle-aged men only, but our lives have been blasted. Capital, un- righteous commerce and heartless villiany of men have done it. But our children shall be frec and be able to set themselves to work, and not be com- pelied to beg work to do, and they shall have all that ts due to their labor. This, or the children of the wealthy shall be destroyed and their expected patrimonies shall vanish ina day. What has my university education availed me? Capital has robbed me all my life of the dues of my willing study and toil and has denied education to my co- workers; but by earnest toil and starvation they have managed to get a more practical education, most of them, than Lshail, But no thanks to the tyrant classes Jor the fact. But we have some pos- sessions of science of which neitner Cambridge nor Oxiord know, and at last we are ready to make them useful for the good of coming generations. We are mostly “joreigners;’’ but your Jand has in- vited us here, and this is our home now, aud here will we fignt the first battles. Our brothers in Ku- rope wiil co-operate in due time. Our chemist is greater than Prometheus, for he has given us a more potent fire. Do all you can, we pray you, to help on this cause of co-operation. Teach the capitalist that his security lies in recognizing the dues of labor, and teach him justice and equity. He shall learn it upon the ashes of his fortune ty he will not be taught before. Our proposition to you is to give a few days’ notice of acoming fire. We will not name the piace. But when it occurs we will do this for you: we will give you remarkable facts which probably no one else can know of. Your ad- vantage will be in that. But we pray you instruct the people and do not put us to the necessity of the Work, Communications will not always be sent in my poor chirograpl We are scattered, thoagh “one” in a fearfully significant sense, and we sball write you in various hands. However, all will go a the hands of a certain one for apy oval; then this letter will be forwarded to the ‘Head,’ and will, 1 think, bear the stamp of the Baitimor or Philadelphia it Oftice, Mr. Bennett, ict me say that you have met the scribbler of this under circumstances which, if palled to your mind, would astonish you, and I will nly add that our ‘Mission of Benevolence” or the ‘New Gospel to the Race” isin the hands of men now, some of whom have “supped with princes’ only to discover the vulgarity and ignorance of the latter, and have held equal conference with the most noted savans and professors of science in the world only to tind how impotent are these when their possessions are compared with those we now have. Again we pray youmake yours a journal of reform and show the laboring classes that you have sympathy with them, But, if you will not, do not blame us for the consequences, for, as we live, and as we have powers which we can transmit with celerity, even so shall the tyrants of all classes go down, and on American soil labor rise, finding its luxuries as well as protection in co-operation, in which the rewards of individual toll shall be just and complete, Yours, &c., CHEMIST, NOVEMBER, 1872. The First Warning. NovEMBER, 1 To THe Eprror or THe HERALD :— Sufficient time has elapsed to render it prudent to say a word to the public about the recent experi- ment of the Boston fire. The comments of the | press have been read by the experimenters with the greatest care, and both physicaliy and morally we pronounce the fire a successful experiment, so far as it is understood by the people at large; “physically,”’ because it did its work in the most diMcult spot which we could find; “moraliy,” be- cause its causes have absolutely escaped detection, | and, we think, suspicion. We, therefore, have a vast power in our hands, with which we intend to so hamble arrogant capital that it shall seek co-op- | eration with labor, or unite in industrial copartner- ship. The former has preyed upon the latter long enough, and we know that nothing less than its absolute destruction, or the thorough shaking of its security, will ever emancipate labor, All is in | our hands now. The law is not adroit enough to | ing PIGEON SHOOTING. Two Interesting Matches of Fifty Birds Wins the First—-The id Resulting in a Tie Between Messrs. Lorillard and Jaffray. A large number of gentlemen congregated at the grounds of the Long Island Shooting Ciub yester- day to witness two pigeon matches, to which great publicity had been given. The first one was be- tween Ira Paine ana B, Deforest for $250 a aide, fifty pigeons, twenty-one yards riso, eighty yards boundary, one and a quarter ounces of shot. The pecullar feature of this match was that the shoot- ers had to use five strange double-barrelled guns, one of which had to be drawn for each time, the first gentleman using one barrel und the second the other, Three of these guns were breech-loaders, the other two being loaded at the muzzle, and both Paine and Deforest acknowledged that only one of the five guns was Mit for use. The gentlemen, how- ever, made a fair score under the ctrcumstances, Paine killing thirty-five birds out of forty-nine, while Mr. Deforest killed thirty-two out of forty- eight. The following is THR SCORE.

Both matches, it will be remem- bered, Mr. Lorillard won by one bird each, Both gentlemen used one ounce and a quarter of shot, Mr. Jadray four drachms of powder and Mr. Lorillard three drachms and three-quarters, There was no outside betting on this match on the ground, but when it was first made $1,000 to $800 was laid on Mr. Loriliard’s winning. It was past two o'clock before the traps were ar- ranged and the preliminaries all completed, Mr. Banks was chosen referee, Mr. Parks being chosen umpire for Mr, Jaffray and Mr. Staples umpire for Mr. Loritlard, Jt fell to the lot of Mr. Jatiray to commence operations, as he hat done in the two previous matches with Mr. Lorillard, When the match began the shooting grounds were surrounded by “pot hunters,” gun in hand, to kill all the birds that migit escape the shooters engaged in the match, and there could not have been less than fiity of these industrious individuals ready to blaze awuy at a pigeon as soon as ho few out of bounds. A general fusiiade would follow an escaped bird, and many ludicrous scenes followed among the claimants for a bird that a dozen had shot at. Mr. Jaffray ktlled the first three birds that he shot at and then missed one. Mr, Lorillard missed the first bird and killed the three following, and at the ninth shot they were even. The tenth shot was a kill for Mr, Jaiiray anda miss for Lorillard, Then Mr. Jaffray lost sixteen birds in succession, a majority of which he hit, but the wounded birds manages to get out of bounds be- fore they fell, During this time Mr, Lorillard lost eleven birus, and when they had each shot at twenty-five Mr, Lorillard was leading three. ‘The (la shot away with varying success until forty birds had been let loose from each of the traps, at which time the score stood seventeen killed by Mr. Lorillard and thirteen by Mr. Jau and the affair seemed so neara certainty for Lorillard to win that one of Mr. Jaffray’s triends, who had $100 bet on him, gave $50 to have the bet drawn. But from that time to the end Mr. Jaffray had a new current of luck, and he only missed one bird afterwards to the ena, making a tie at the finish with Mr, Lorillard, much to the delight of his friends and the pecuniarily untu- terested spectators. For amateurs it will be safe to say that these gentlemen have shot three of the best contested matches that were ever witnessed in this country, and it is very doubtful if there are any professionals in the land that could have ex- celled them. The shooting yesterday was extraor- dinarily £000, and-one gentleman remarked that he would have bet thousands of dollars that neither of the number they did, entiemen would have killed the The following is THE SCORE, Mr, Jaffray--1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1,1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1—Kalled, 22;'missed, 23, Mr. Lorillard—0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, Q, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1 1} 1,1, 0; 1, 0 1,0, 1, 1, 0, 0—Rilled, A CUBAN PROTEST.

The large hall of the Institute was bout two-thirds full, the American element being by far predominant in the meeting. A large number of members were present, however, who were evidently very enthu- siastic in the cause, and waited impatiently for the speakers to make their appearance, This was all the more evident that, when the speeches were made in Spanish (and the majority of them were in that tongue) the applause was loud, prolonged and enthusiastic, THE PLATFORM was decorated with flowers, and the Cuban and American flags werv intertwined. On each side of the desk set apart for the speakers were baskets of flowers on pedestals in memory of the students who were executed on tlie anniversary of the day, one year ago, At the back of the platform was a printed list in red of the names of the eight Cuban students who were killed bv order of the Captain General, whose name also appeared in glaring letters, evidently that the name should not ve speedily forgotten by those who once saw it. As the evening advanced the hall filed with attentive listeners until it at- tained almost its full capacity for seating, and the sight sent more hope into the speakers and more enthusiasm into the listeners, At eight o’clock Mr. Cespedes, the Cuban envoy, took the floor, aud was greeted with much ap- plause. He said that THE OBJECT OF THE MERTING was to have a fitting commemoration of the mur- 1 0, dy 25 missed, der of the eight young students. It was not only to have the satisfaction of gathering together and hearing Cuban views expressed, but, moreover, to give a fitting expression to the sentiments of indignation which animated every true soul when it heard the recital of that tale of blood, Ai that time the regn- lay authority was suspended, and the volunteers took it into their hands to deal with those whom they feared and hated. The verdict that acquitted the students was reversed, and the mob estab- lished anotuer law which was malignant and blood. thirsty. MR. MAJARCA, the General Agent of the Cuban government in pw York, advanced, and was also grected with great applause. He said that he had occasion to thank the people of the United States for the evi+ dent sympathy they had for his suffering brethren | in Cuba, MR. ALGERNON SYDNEY SULLIVAN was then introduced, who in the course of his speech read the list of the names of martyred students from the scroll, that was fitly draped in Alvarez, aged sixteen years. |. Liera, aged fifteen years, Pascual Rodriguez, aged filteen years. Anacleto Bermudeo, aged nineteen years. Carlos A, Latorre, aged eighteen years, Edwardo G., Toledo, aged eighteen years, Their memories should be embalmed in the hearts of every Cuban, and when Cuba should be free, their names should shine brightly ow her page of honor, Mr. Sullivan's speech was greeted with thundex- applause which’ lasted = several min utes, ie Chairman then introduced Sedor Enriques Pinerro, who in the course of a Jengthy and flowery address in Spanish, spoke of the beautiful devotion of that peopie, who, trodden under foot year after, yet rose up, like a hydra, and smote those who endeavored to exterminate it, He characterized the Spanish people asa race who were bettsr known by their cruelty wherever they were found than by any other trait.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The Sequel to the Great “Cornor’ in Morth- western—Suggéstions for the ‘Stock Ex- change—The Regulation of Speculation as @ Benefit to Business—The Uses and, Abuses of Wall Street—Con- gressand the Financial Ques- tion—Amendment of the Banking System. WALL Street, THURSDAY, Nov. 28, 1872, The Thanksgiving holiday has been & boon to the Street, after the turmoil and excitement that at- tended the great “corner” in Chicago and North. western—a speculation that goes down into his. tory alongside the most famous ‘corners’ of Wail Street, The losses of the “shorts’’ were on a scale of great magnitude, and were equal, in many instances, to the last dollar each man could pay. ‘The great acquisition of money to the ‘bull’ clique, who engineered the “corner,” is likely to give them UNUSUAL PRESTION in controlling and directing the fature course of the market, and hence we find within a day or two of the cuimination of the “corner” a lively dl- version in Lake Shore, Pacific Mail and other stocks more or less the favorites of this party in Speculative operations, Indeed, the success of the clique is likely to drive them into reckless under- takings and intoxicate them with a belief in thetr infallibility as SPEOULATORS, with the result of inspiring a general reckless speculation on the part of the host of outsiders to whom the Northwestern “corner” has been a de- moralizing influence. The question of regulating “corners” after the fashion of the London Stock Exchange ought to be considered by the governors of our New York Board and a similar or other meas- ure adopted to prevent the extravagant severity Which go often attends a “corner” in thts market. If the members of the Board are desirous of in- creased business they will find that object more accessible chrough such a REGULATION OF SPECULATION a8 proposed, The recurrence of these dangerous “corners” interferes seriously with the regular business of the street and Is. deprecated by every good broker, For tho one commission that the brokers get from a clique they lose ten from the public at large. The mass of persons throughout the country who buy and sell stocks as a part of their occupation in addition to ordinary busines or a8 an occupation of itself, which their means allow them the luxury of, are legion as compared with the professionals—the blacklegs, 80 to speak— of Wallstreet. There is an honest and intelligent trading to ‘ THE RISE AND FALL of stocks whichis every bit as reputable as the business of half our mnussion” merchants and Merchandise “brokers.” The patronage of the dealers of this class is worth more to Wail street than the transient, spasmodic and always risky and dangerous “orders” of the professionals and cliques, The action of the Bank of England Directors to- day is looked for with much interest on account of the Indications it will afford of the condition of the money market abroad, Whatever the result, which we expect with our usual despatches ‘yy cable, we shall publish it with our usual cable tele- grams, to which portion of the paper the reader desirous of information on the potnt is directed, THE FINANCIAL QUESTION will, in view of what has already transpired in the proposed official departmental messages, prove @ special topic with the Congress to meet on Monday next, although, in view of the lack of fully harmonious relations between that boay and the administration, there may be-a deferment of definite action until the session of the Congress just elected, The con- tinued scarcity of money in the mercantile inter- est, no matter how easy the market may be to other classes of borrowers, will doubtless lead to an AGITATION for a froér system of banking and the certain de- feat ofevery measure contemplating the contrac tion of the existing banking facilities of the Eastern and Middle States, The matter of banking facili- tits seems to be one which regulates itself, and if the system of banking were rigidly based on the present foundation of deposits at Washington of bonds to secure the notcholders against loss it is hard to conceive where danger could arise in mak- ng such a system free and general. Banks would be organized when and where needed, and then and there only, THE NoTES being secured by collateral government bonds would be an acceptable currency, and enter into circulation in places where there is now a de(l- ciency of sueh currency, while the contraction of greenbacks thus occasioned would bring the country gradually and almost insensibly to specie payments, GOVERNMENT BONDS were strong on Wednesday, and prices advanced quite suddenly. The street is anticipating a further call of five-twentles for redemption, although Mr. Boutwell may wait in this matter until Con- gress convenes.

The Dire Experience of the Bark Hann‘bal. a Gales and Hurricanes Met in Coming from Liverpool—Sails Carried Away and Tons of Water on Deck and in the Cabin— Hungry and Exhausted Sailors Thankful for Biedorate Weather—-A Terrible Voy- age Happily Ended. Messmates, hear a brother Siug the dangers of the sea, From the First Mate Nieman and Second Mate Miller of the North German bark Hannibat, fron Liverpool, filty-four days, to this port, now lying off Bedloc’s Island, two miles from the Battery, there was learned yesterday the following tnter- esting narrative of her late voyage :—The Hannibal has long been engaged in the sult-carrying buai- hess, and among the many trials and dangers te which her seamen have been subjected this trip for suffering and hardship has never been sur passed, LEAVING PORT. On the 4th of October last the Hannibal, with » cargo of salt, left Liverpool, the crew numbering twelve in all, Their voyage, . like maoy preceding ones, seemed full of pleasant ness, aud until the 23d of the montis fresh and strong breezes from all points sent thems along on their business, On that night a gale from the southwest set in, and lasted, with dirty weather and a terrible rain, until the morning of the 25th, when it abated, This was but a foreram- ner to the heavier and tempestuous storms that followed, making a tale of disaster and hardship but just commenced, On the 8ist, in latitude 38 67, longitude 56 24, the wind veering from north- east by east, to east, with heavy rain and por- tentous clouds, the sea rose with steady and TERRIBLE FORCE, unfil at two o'clock A, M. a wave of gigantic magnt> tude broke over the starboard quarter, which smashed the atter house, and striking the wheel, carried it away with the after bulkhead of the cabin, All the steering gear was gone, and dowm below, where the mate and six men were resting from their labora, the water was four feet deep and the men were compelled to swim from there berths to save themselves, Chests, tables, and things in general that bad been secured, floated around in’ one common chaos, and the man at the the wheel was found in THE MIZZEN RIGGING, washed by one wide wave into that unseemly perch, All this time the rain and lightning swept over the ship in bitter gusta, while the sea made side. Tac! or wearing was a matter of impossibility until cap- stan bars were rigged in the rim of the old wheel. Then the compass was found broken, and the swash of water was so great that the bulwarks were smashed in to free the decks, upper and lo ‘The waves were so violent that the watch om deck were driven forward, and for hours they dare@ not to return aft. All that night it was guesswork in steering. Down in the hold, where the provisions were kept, the salt waves washed unremittingly, and the paints and oils under the quarter were i one common mass, FLOATING AT RANDOM about the cabin. The men had only the clothee they wore; beds and bedding were all wet, and, ag aconsolation to them, the “skipper’s” garmente were washed out of his snug drawers, The crew did not, as in many cases, become panic- stricken, but gradually, under the great composure of their captain, went at once to work. lt wae sll ramming and the thunder seemed but a foot overhead, reverberating from mast to mast an the men were almost deafened.

The wind was now from south- east by east, southeast by south, with heavy seas, All sails were taken In by the HUNGRY CREW. 3 All hands were on deck, Next day, November 1, the weather abated, but the cross seas pitched a; several feet of water on deck, The win ranged from west by north to north- west, and for a few hours there was no rest on board. Then came a pleasant spell. November 4 broke with fresh breezes trom east southeast, the ship being in latitude 41 56, longitude 5640, At five A. M. the wind was from all poi of the compass scemingly, and the officers say they “never saw the seaso angry.’ Sails were tried be taken in again, but it was @ fatiure, and another heavy sea, mountain high, broke the whee! a second time, and the poor storm-tossed mariners fett that ali hopes were to be abandoned. Now it was found impossible to go aloft, and the captain, who hed Slipped up to the foreyard, was COMPELLED 'TO REMAIN there for several hours. The bark was now in lati- tude 40 31, longitude 59 47. Part of the crew songht rest, and while below a more furious squall burst upon them, and in @ second of time away into the sea went the foresail, both lower and tov- sails, main and upper topsails and foretopmast Staysail. The wreck, such as was left on board, was partly cleared by evening, when another weat- erly squall struck them and a big sea thumped under their port quarter, and, breaking over the led again the cabins and deck with water. It was four feet deep all over. An hour after the main lower yard was lost, and the men, tived out and ed with iusuficient food, called out to The seas breached over the vesset frequently and fearfully, So great was the weight of water on the deck the satlors thought that every t wave would carry them to the bot- tom, so.
