Because of some unfore- seen accident the fun did not commence until about eleven o'clock, and at that time the parquet circle, boxes and amphitheatre were filled by an eager and demonstrative crowd. The baliroom was not decorated, save by a display of flowers in huge vases at intervals around the margin of the dancing platform, At eleven o’clock the curtain rose and the procession moved out upen the floor in the following order:—The Floor Committee, in the Costume of Lohengrin; the Lobby Committee, as Lohengrin pages; the Committee of Reception, as Mandarins of the Ce- lestial Empire; the Floor Guards, as Grenadiers of Roi Carotte, who mounted guard at the several entrances; the Door Cemmittee, the pride of the Arion, wearing fool’s-caps of the peacock style.

A collision occurred on the Central Pacific Rail- road, at thirty-five minutes past six o’clock last night, thirteen miles east of here, between the East-bound passenger train that left San Francisco on the morning of the 11th and a West-bound freight train, the particulars of which are a3 follows :— ‘The scene of the accident is thirteen miles east of this atation, on @ short curve where the road runs through @ canyon on the Hum- boldt River, the grade being about twenty fect above the water. The passenger train was on time and proceeding slowly around the curve, when the engineer saw the freight train coming at @ furious speed. When the engineers first noticed each other the trains were not 400 feet apart. At this time the engineer of the passenger train reversed his en- gine and jumped down the embankment into the river, followed by the fireman, just in time to save themselves, The air brake worked like @ charm, having nearly stopped the passenger train before the engines struck and preventing the cars tele- socping, feanwhile the engineer of the freight train had whistled down brakes and reversed his engine, but it was too late, His train came thundering along till both engines struck. The engines leaped into bbe air and fell on one side of the wack a mass of ruins, The mail car of the passenger train had the front end stove in, and @ coal car of the freight train was piled on top of it. The tender of the passen- ger train was also precipitated down the bank into the river. The freight train had six cars more or less smashed. The following is a Hst of the wounded, none being killed :— C. Jack, fireman of the freight train; head badly bruised and back badly dnlaredshonghe fatally.

M. of the 1st inst, the United States and Brazil mail steamship Erie, Captain E. L. Tinklepaugh, left this port en her voyage from Rio Janeiro | via Bahia to Para, St. Themas, and New York. When sixty miles north of here, im latitude 7 05, longitude $4 35, at ten P. M., she was discovered to be on fire, the first evidence being smoke issuing from the coal bunkers. No fire was found there; but in a few minutes the fire was @iscovered in the upper freight deck, near the centre of the skip and directly under the galley. At once feur streams of water were brought to bear upon the flames, which were showing themselves through the ven- tilators on the main deck; holes were cat In the deck to enable the hose to bear on the flames, the — roles and the ship headed for tie land. me sixteen miles distant steam was turned into the ship from the boilers to endeavor to drown | out the fire. During this time Mr. 8. Russeil, the chief officer, with @ gang of men, had got out the boats, eight in number; two of the lee boats had been hauled forward under the bowsprit and two dropped astern, In one of the stern boats were the only lady passenger, Mrs. Hunter, of Bahia, and her little child of one year, then receiving its “baptism of fire;” hei |, two steerage sengers, the stewardess of the ship and six men, under command of Dr. Bailey, of the ship. At 11:40 P, M. the flames burst ont with great fury through the main deck for a space of one hun- dred feet fore and aft, driving the working party from their pests, and the order was given to abandorm the ship. Such was the Sa ity with which the fire spread, and so devoted had been every one in endeavoring to conquer the fire that when the word was given there was only time to get into the boats and leave the Erie to her sad, sad fate. Captain oe ets ly taan to leave, slid down @ rope into his boat, the flames were bursting threugh the upper or spar deck from the foremast te the mizzenmast and on beth sides of the ship. We laid by the burning ship, eighty of a crew and twelve passengers, in eight boats. At one A. M. of the 2d the masts fell all at once. The vessel continued to burn until four A. M. of the 3d, thirt, hours after the fire was digcovered, the ship an boats drifting towards the land, and at pS itwe turned away for the land, then ten miles distant, where we arrived at half-past eight A.
