NAVAL DISASTERS. Wreck of the French Steamship Gambie on the Coast of Brasil—Suddem Shock and with Pas- sengers All Asleep—Prompt Action and Rescue—Frightfal Accident in the Im- perial Navy Yard at Rio Janeiro— A Land-Slide and Fatal Conse- quences of the Visitation— . Twenty Men Killed and Fifty Others Be- verely Wounded. Rio Jansrno, April 4, 1873. ‘The steamship Gassendi, Captain Mitchell, will @ail to-morrow morning, with @ cargo of coffee, direct to New York, and I take advantage of the opportunity to send you as much of an account of ‘the total loss of the French steamer Gambie as has reached me, It may be stated as follows:— The Gambie is one of the semi-monthly line of steamers of the Compaguie Messageries Maritimes, This company has three fine large steamers—the Sindh, the Amazone and the Gironde, making monthly trips between the River Plate and Bor- deaux, and stopping at this place each way. The diroctora have also three others steamers, inter- modiate, of iess burden and more ordinary passen- wer acoommodastion, of which the Gambie was one, ‘She was @ vessel of about two thousand tons burden, and originally a side-wheel steamer, but had been altered into a screw propeller. THE FATAL VOYAGE, She left thts port, bound for Bordcaux, on the ‘4th ult., with a quite full passenger list and fa cargo, consisting of coffee, hides and tallow. She was due at Bahia on the 26th, and at midnight of that day, or, more properly, at two o’clock on the } morning of the 27th, she suddenly went on the reef, known as the Jana Rocks, off the small town of Abrantes, seven miles to the north of the village of Itapoan and about eighteen miles beyond and to the north of Bahia. As she was bound to Bahia, ‘which port she had not yet entered, the only way to account for her being where she was lost, ay well as for the loss of course, ison the hypothesis that the wind had been prevailing for many days strong and steadily from the south and southwest, and may have occasioned a slight increase of the coast current, of which sufficient notice was not taken, and as the night was thick and stormy it was im- possible to see any distance ahead. SUDDEN ALARM, BUT SAVED, Aa the passengers were all asleep in their rooms, the sudden blow of the steamer woke them and oceasioned naturally the greatest confusion and alarm. The prompt decision and cool conduct of the officers, however, served in a great measure to allay the excitement; the vessel’s launches were lowered and manned, and by six o’clock in the morning the passengers had all been safely landed at the town of Abrantes. One of the passengers, Antonio Carlos do Carno, started off on foot, and at the River Johannes obtained a male, upon which he rode to Bahia, arriving at the latter place at two o’clock on the afternoon of the same day, and immediately informing the agent of the line of the disaster to the Gambie. In order to render such relief as might yet be required, as well as to ascer- tain the possibility of saving any portion of the cargo, the agentof the line obtained a small steamer, the Rio Vermelho, of Bahi: and taking on board the inspector of the customs, and as many customs ofiicials as proper attention to the cargo weuld require, started for the scene of the shipwreck. Arriving after dark, they communicated by signals with some of the officers who remained'on board the Gamble, and in early morning went alongside the shipwrecked steamer, and found her fast upon the rocks above mentioned, with holes broken in her sides, through which the water readily passed. Finding passengers and crew all safe, and no toss of life, attention was given to the property remaining on board; but the only things it was Seed to save wererome clothing and a part of cloth and linen furnis! of the saloon and staterooms, and these were handed over to the , the customs officer, who has of all material afloat. On the 28th the Steamer Jacaré proceeded to the scene of the disaster, having on board a force of Bahia police, under the command of of the i raja. Major José Augusto Abranches, ofthe Post Office Department of Bahia, also took Ee poaveant easion of the nails, which wore-on DSard mn of the which were on boar: bie, and which had been landed, but as it was too rough to take them the ay before on the Rio Vermelho, they were left until the arrival of the Jacaré. afternoon the steamer Lusitania came into port and reports the Gambie still hard and fast on the rocks, not yet gone to pieces, and ander guard of the police and Customs officers. SUDDEN AND FEARFUL DISASTER. For more than two weeks it has rained almost incessantly, and the earth has become saturated, and fears have been entertained that some of the many hillsides around Rio Janerio would shed their superincumbent weight to the greater or less damage of the citizens below, for these land-slides Bre by no means @ very uncommon thing during the wet season of Rio. These apprehensions were terribly realized at noon of Thursday, March 7, by a land-slide, which threw down a massive stone wall upon one of the buildings in the Navy Yard (Arsenal ha), erushi it to atoms, and instantly killing some twenty of the workmen and ‘wounding nearly filty others,a number of whom cannot possibly recover. THE SITUATION AND SAD SCENE. The old convent of San Bento stands on a bold ad of land, the summit of which is over fifty feet ‘Bbove tide water, and which projects out into the ‘arrow water passage between the main land and ‘the island of Cobras. Around the base of this hill and extending around two sides of it, isthe Navy Yara, occupying a narrow ip of land, and crowded between the water and the hill, as though it would have been sacrilege to tear down the con- vent, and level the hill, and devote the space to gome material benefit. Under the brow of this bill, and around it, are a a the two stor, stone yellow washed Le the work shops ani + store, rooms of the Na’ ‘ard. By the side of the convent, amd some little distance from it, was ® massive stone wall; the earth beneath this wall became saturated by the long continued rain, and unable to rt the wall, it gave way, and tum- ‘dled the or a large section of it, on to one of the buildings below, crushing it iit erally to the I never saw stone and fron and timber more completely rent and shattered and broken. Over ONE HUNDRED PERSONS ‘were in the building at the time, but a section of about vend, feet at one end, which was saved, afforded sheiter to those who were in that immedi- ate vicinity and to a few who discovered the com- r in time to permit them to step aside ‘and let the wall crush by them. Hundreas of hands ‘were immediately set to work to remove the heap of stone and mortar and earth which covered the crushed building. The rain coming down in‘tor- Tents at the time rendered the work most dificult, og without doubt, added to the number of deaths, = 1 ‘was a long time before those who were more jeep! could be recovered. Not until ‘twen' we hours had and when the whole /mass had been removed, were yy AS to ascer- tain if all the dead and wounded haa been recov- p So far I understand twenty deaths were oc- casioned, and nearly if not quite fifty were more less wounded.

AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB. The fixed events for throe-year-olds to come off at the Spring meeting at Jerome lark are the Belmont Stakes, with seventy-five nominations, and the Ladies’ Stakes,’ with forty-three nominations, the latter for fillies only. The subscription to each is $100, half forieit, the Club to add, to the former, $1,500, and to the The awards will be made at | | } latter, $1,000. To the Belmont, A, Belmont, Presi- dent of the Club, also adds $1,000 in plate, with the very liberal condition that should his own stablo win it it will be given to the Ladies’ Stakes, It may with great confidence be said that this year will develop a larger number of first class three-year-olds than have ever appeared in any one year in America; and, as @ matter of course, nearly all, of brilliant promise, are engaged in the above stakes, Mr. McGrath's Tom Bowling being about the only notable exception, Among the nominations for the BELMONT STAKES the following may be regarded as in the first class :— Mr. Littell’s b. c. Wild-Idle, by imp. Australian, out of Idlewild, the best daughter of Lexington, Mr. Belmont’s ch. ¢, Silk stocking, by Kentucky, out of imp. Fluke, by Womersley, Mr. Belmont’s unp. b. ¢. by Breadalbane, out of Ellermire. Mr. Withers’ imp. b. c. Stonehenge, by Blair Athol, out of Coimbra, by Kingston. Ex-Governor Bowie's b. ¢. Catesby, by imp. Eclipse, out of Katie, by Twobits. Mr. F. Morris’ ch. c, Long Branch, by Eclipse, out Of the famous mare Mollie Jackson, Colonel McDaniels’ ch. ©. Springbok, by Austra- Han, out of Hester, by Lexington, Messrs. Hunter & Travers’ ch. ¢. Reviler, by Cen- sor, out of Jenny Rose (Captain Moore’s dam), by ncoe. er Gle lessrs. Hunter & Travers’ imp. bl. c. Strachino, by Parmesan, out of May Bell. Mr. Litteil’s ch. ¢. Fellowcraft, by imp, Austra- lian, out of Aerolite, sister to Idlewild, Mr. Littell’s br. c. Wizard, by Concord, out of Dolly moe , by Revenue. Mr. W. W. Glenn’s ch. c. Merodac, by imp. Austra- lian, out of Ada Cheatham, by Lexington. We might name among the entries anotherdozen colts and several fillies of decided promise; but the dozen above described will each be liberally backed, and we shall be disappointed if the winner be not found among the upper half dozen. The en- tire list of nominations, however, is remarkable for superior breeding, and the owner of many a colt not mentioned will probably laugh in his sleeve on Teading this article, confident that he possesses that long-sought animal, the best race horse in America. Nearly all the horses entered for this race are in active training, and the field of starters will cer- tainly be numerous. We hear very favorable ac- counts from the various training grounds. At The Nursery (Mr. Belmont’s establishment), Mr. Pryor has the colts under his charge inavery forward state of preparation. Mr. Littell’s lot are trained by Mr. Taylor, at Jerome Park, and are also well advanced. Mr. Minor continues to preside over the destinies of the stables of Messrs. Hunter & Travers, at Centreville Course, and has a long string in active training, with no complaints. Mr. Withers’ horses are now at his fine training course, recently ee gh in Monmouth county, New Jersey, and Mr. Midgley is preparing them. Mr. Brown is training Mr. Morris’ lot of Eclipses, al: 1n Monmouth county. Colonel McDaniel is locat at Serstogs, snd, although the season has been backward re, he seems ready for war. Mr. Gienn’s and Governor Bowie's horses are at Balti- more, Numerous other stables are in training, but We mention the above as of prominent interest in connection with the Belmont Stakes, which must result in a magnificert race. itt bably bring Ogata bora! Hy I will pro! Ing together an unusually large number of starters, the entries being rather an even lot, with no “bright particular star’ of such magnitude as to obscure the rest. It is true there are among them several reputable winners; but others will be quite pre nent in public favor for this event. There will be many a filly backed for it, and this race 1s especially worthy of the at- tention of book makers, ‘The weights for THE FORDHAM STAKES, @ mile and a quarter, thirty-eight entries, and the Jockey Club icap, two mil@, with twenty-six entries, have been announced by the handicapper, and the usual amount of criticism is being indulged in. For the mile and a quarter a dozen sure win- ners have already been discovered, among which the following are probably most frequently men- tioned :—Monarchist, 6 years, 116 lbs.; Ortolan, 6 years, 112 Ibs.; Gray Planet, 4 years, 160 1bs.; Sue Ryder, 4 years, 95 Ibs.; Wheatly, 4 years, 88 Ibs., &c. We ‘think it most likely, however, that Monarchist will be reserved for other races better suited to his qualities, and it is at least doubtful if he can beat any of the next three named in this race. Ortolan carried 116 lbs. last Spring, and won the same race, beating Frank Rose, Quintard, Wine Sap, Alroy, Buckden, Mary Louise and five others, giving from 4 to 9 Ibs. to ali excepting Alroy, who carried 112 Ibs., giving Ortolan 2 lbs, Or- tolan won in handsome style. Time, 2:14. At the Fall Meeting, Jerome Park, he won a mile, beating Fancnon, Elsie, Frank Hampton and four others. Time, 1:46, Also, at same meeting, a handicap of a mile and five-eignths, beating Defender, Anzona, John Merryman, Sue Ryder, Mimi, Mary Louise, and Gao, Also, at bere id second meeting, he won three-quarters of a mile, with allowances to beaten lens, beating Nema, Piedmont, Lobelia, Mollie McIntyre, Cape Race and King Henry. Time, 1:17. Gray Planet, though a rousing colt at two years, was not successful in any of the three-year-old events last year, for four of which he started; and, though a large and powerful colt, 110 ibs, seemed to too much for him; but with 87 lbs. on him he ran second to Tub- man, 108 lbs, and beat so good a horse as Fadladeen, 6 years, 104 Jbe., in & consolation race of a mile and a quarter at the first Saratoga meeting. Giving Fadladeen 7 ibs. and a beating at a distance the same as the Fordham Stakes cer- tainly justifies the opinion that, with only 100 Ibs. on him, his chances for this race are good. gue Ryder, though an uncertain racer, ran a spien- id race at two years oid, and last year, at the Fall meeting at Jerome Park, she won a mile and three- arters, beating Wine Sap, John Merryman and jampton, in 3:16\%; and, at same meeting, a mile and a Ui eoitt for three-year-olds, carrying 107 beating Mimi, Hattie O'Neil and ick- 114. With an additional year, and car- rying tweive pounds jess than in the Jast race referred to, she ought to be considered well in for the handicap. Preakness, € years, 112 lbs.; Hub- bard, 4 years, 106 Ibs. ; Chilicothe, 6 years, 108 Ibs, ; Sancebox, 6 years, 107 Ibs.; Meteor, 4 years, 105 Ibs. ; Mate, 4 years, 100 ibs.; Shylock (a splendid horse this season), 100 Ibs, ; Nickajack, 5 years, 95 Ibs., and perhaps others, should each receive some consideration, All thi considered, however, Ostolan has probably the best of the weights. THE JOCKEY CLUB HANDICAP is @ race of two miles. Monarchist, with only his Weight for age-—114 lbs.—would seem to have aD easy place. Abd-el-Kooree, to whom he gives 6 lbs., Would be @ very dangerous competitor were he fully recovered from his injuries; but this ig not reasonably to be heped for; and Hubbard, to whom he gives but 2 ibs. may have # long chance for success. We much mistake the mettle of Monarehist’s owner, however, if he would not be willing to match him at this distance—two miles— with 120 lbs. upon him, Inst any horse in the Face at the handicap weights, ‘The sports begin at Jerome Park on the 7th of June, and a grand meeting is anticipated. Though the accommodations there for horses are more ex- tensive than at any other course in America, the number of horses to be in attendance has made it necessary to erect mere stables, signs of the times portend a grand meeting. Me All the THE YOUNG FORGER. A Boy Fourteen Y of Age Gets Money on a False Check, A boy about fourteen years of age, named James Hughes, was arrested by UMcer Finnerty, of the Twenty-seventh precinct, and brought to the Tombs Police Court yesterday morning, charged with forgery. On the 26th of April he presented a check to Dantei F, Smith, the paying teller of the North River Bank, drawn to the order of C. R. Johnson, for $205, and signed Martin Johnson.

Manifest Destiny Closing Around the Lower Furt | How to Got Oat of the Pen‘tentiary—The Escape of the County—How the Scheme is Bo- gerdod—A Thorough’y Popular Pro- ject—Some of the Advantages + To Be Derived from It Now that the Probability of annexation of the lower poi tion of WArstohoster county to Now York has become almost agertaloty tao subject is boing eagerly di-cussod by $h0 tnhabtsants of that sec- tion. To the taxpayers ta Morrisania, West Farms and Kingsbridge (tae towas which it is pro, osed to annex) the proposed nveasure és one Of vital im- portance, and engrosses tho attention of ail classes, from the industrious, frugal laborer, who has secured @ singlo lot of ground, on which he hopes some day to build a shelter tor himsel/ and family, to the aMuont landowner who counts his pastoral acres by hundreda, At one time thero were many who bitterly opposed the project, but within the past few months these have dwindled to such @ shadow of # minority that inthe towns mentioned it wou'd now be some- what diMcult to discover a solitary taxpayer who has the hardihood to openly express his disappro- bation of the scheme. Indeod, it would seem toat the whilom opponents of annexation have fallen into an apathetic state of passive acquiescence or indifference from which it is imposmole ior them to offer any further rosistance to what bas been almost universally regarded as inevitable, In the thickly settled town of Morrisania es- pecially the project, now apparently s0 near con- summation, is regarded with THE MOST LIVELY SATISFACTION, as it will jasure much needed improvements, the absence of which in the past and present has ma- terlally retarded its growth and prosperity. The principal among these are, an abundant supply of water for domestic purposes and the extinguish- ing of fres;a general system of drainage to re- move the miasmatic influences unpleasantly per- ceptible during the Summer months; a steam fire department, and an efficient police force for the protection of life and property, These and many other features, together with the enhancement of values in real estates, which must follow in the wake of annexation to the metropolis, are consid- erations of too much importance to be disregarded, While sounding a tew of the PROMINENT CITIZENS on the subject of oti hla the Hrraud representative called on Mr. F, W. Gilley, a shrewd, thinking and close-reasoning Nar who has made real estate in Morrisania a study jor the past twenty-five years, when the conversation which took place was in substance as follows In answer to an introductory question by the reporter as to the present condition of business in the town Mr, Gilley replied, ‘Well, the general business in all branches of mechanical and indus- trial pursuits is Completely prostrated; and as to the real estate business and all else that I am in- terested in, there is and has been for a long time a complete stagnation.” “To what do you linpute this want of business? Is there a lack of energy or of industry in your people here in Morrisania?”? ANNEXATION IN HIGH FAVOR. “Oh, no; but there has been the matter of an- nexation spoken of for years, and within the last two or three years it has been the theme of dis- cussion, and has ultimately become the turning point on which seems to depend the success or lailure of every effort tp do, to act, to operate or to anticipate.” “Are the people of Morrisania in favor of or op- posed to annexation?’ “Tmay say almost universally in favor of the project.” “What arguments do they bring forward?” It seems that it is A FOREGONE CONCLUSION that annexation is tue only remedy for the disease which has taken root here, and known as—not fever and ague, for, by the way, we have no more of that dread scourge than have other localities in this and other counties, or this and other States— but I mean this disease of business lite, which has not for years been known around aod about us. We look for a solution of all the mystery surround- ing us to the Legislature of the State of New York, knowing that the matter ts before the lawmakers, and that the scheme which brings Morrisania, West Farms and Kingsbridge into the city of New York has by enactment been passed almost unani- mously in the Assembly, and now awaits the action of the Senate and the sanction of the Governor to become the law.’? “But why do the people so unanimously want an- Bexation ¥? “Because they have faith in it; they think we shall be benefited in many ways. We shall be rid of our local government, which, good, bad or indif- arent as.it may be, 1s not at all popular. They hope r A BETTER POLICE ORGANIZATION and protection; a better protection from the ter- rible element of fire; not that we think our ‘tire laddies’ are wanting in enerey and courage, but that our system is faulty and our means inade- quate. One steam fire engine, with sufficient water (which we now have not), would be worth the whole Department in “Mor- risania, and May say im West Farms also. They also think that commissioners would be done away*with, whereby maps may be made and altered to suit private ends, and that the streets and avenues would be laid out, widened, graded and regulated in con- formity with common sense and with a view to general improvement, and not for the mere ad- vancement of the interests of some few who can afford to pay for the crooking and turning of the line of @ street, avenue or boulevard. They also think that, as a part of New York, we should have & position far beyond the yalue of @ suburban or country character,” “How do your A ieee in the Legislatare stand on the question for annexation {” “The member of Assembly irom this district (Mr. Herring) introduced THE BILL IN THE HO and has carried it through with great ability, se- curing on its final passage an almost unanimous vote. It has been said that our Senator (W. H. Robertson), who is from the upper part of the county, has not been javorable to the passage of the bill; but since the Assembly have spoken so | plainly in response to the wishes of the people the | Senator has concluded to withdraw his opposition | and will urge its passage in ihe Senate and thereby | retain his popularity. Should he defeat the bill in | the Senate I think the people at this end of the | county would never forgive him.”’ THE OPPONENTS OF THE SCHEME, “Who are the opponents of the scheme, if any?" “Only those who are officials or who live on the public, and some few of their friends. There are | about three theusand veters in this town, and I | believe that two thousand eight hundred are in favor of annexation, and these live in the hope of | receiving the news every hour. On the passage and confirmation of annexation there will be a grand jubilee in this place.” “Have you any other reasons for your belief that annexation is so popular as you say f" “Oh, yes; @ thousand. One is that the business of / Teal estate is asleep and will know no Waking until | the anticipated annexation shall awake it, and When that moment shall arrive there will be an impetus given to BUSINESS IN REAL ESTATE, and, in fact, every other branch of trade, which will induce thousands, not only to invest, but to ve- come denizens of the now comparatively sparsely Settled jots in this and the adjacent towns. This Portion of Westchester county will take in a great portion of the swarms which threaten to leave New York for Long Island and New Jersey. faet, there will be a greatand immediate revolu- tion; property will once more assume its former Status, and our people will cease to be undeter- mined or disheartened.” Here the interview terminated, and the reporter wished the man of ‘great expectations” good morning.

The annual opening of bids for provisions and supplies for the Indian Department, amounting to over $2,000,000, took place at 40and 42 Leonard street yesterday. The bids were opened by Hon. E. P.

No longer ago than last Moaday a!ternoon alx convicts effected their escape from the northern end of tho Isiand by overpowering the guard and by crossing in & boat to the Long Island shore, The ateam tug Hope took a barge to the Lunatic Asylum point to be un- loaded, When the barge was brought into position Keeper John McCarthy took six prisoners in the guard boat and went with them to the barge. The guard boat then returned toward the shore. Six prisoners took possession of the boat upon its touching the shore, seized and overpowered the guard, Thomas W. Kastburn, and, obtaining posses- sion of the carbine, the convicts in the boat kept the guards on shore at bay. Keeper Cornelius Dougherty was too much intimidated to fire after \he fugitives. The oarsmen in the boat were then forced to row the excursion party over to the Long Island shore, where the carbine was returned to the guard after the loads had been carefully drawn, The convicts then made good their escape to the woods, THREE RECAPTURED, Keepers were immediately sent out by the Warden in pursuit, but the fugitives from justice eluded their jaiters, and the deputies returned in despair, Warpen Fitch then sent keepers to watch each of the Long Isiand terrics. The vigil was without success until late at night, when Daniel Smith, aged nineteen years; John Hatloran, aged twenty-six years, and Stephen Deedy, aged twenty- nine years, were seen approaching the Grand street ferry, The polic once took them in charge. The recaptured victs were returned to Blackwell's Isiaund yesterday afternoon, having enjoyed their liberty only twenty-iour hours, The other three have not yet been captured, and the Warden fears that they have made good their escape by crossing the river in a small boat instead of trusting to the ferries.

The reporter found him in a dark cell on the first tler of the new wing of the Penitentiary. He appeared very tired, but, although rather dis- couraged, quite cheerful. He laughed about his re- capture, evidently regarding the escape as a good joke upon his keepers, “What ronte did you take?’ asked the reporter. “Alter we left the boat,” replied Smith, “we all struck inland, We had no detinite purpose only to put as at rods of land between us and the island as possible in the shortest conceivable time, We rau for six miles almost, without stopping. We went to a farmhouse and got all the clothes we wanted. The people seemed willing to give them to us, but they may have been afraid. We then separated into two gangs. Our party came around by Calvary Cemetery after dark and thence on foot to the Grand street ferry, where we were cap- tured.” CRIME IN BROOKLYN. —_--+ Suppression of Information to the Public by the Police—“Defeating the Ends of Sustice’—A New Order of Things.

These officials have become convinced of this necessity since the mysterious taking off of Charles Goodrich and the UTTER PALLURE OF THE POLICE to find out anything that could lead to the detec- tion and arrest of the murderer, notwithstanding the valuable ald which they received from ‘the representatives of the press. So chagrined are they at their failure upon this latter occasion that the Board of Commissioners have seen fit to pro- mnigate the Fairant remarkable order for the jormation :— GENFRAL ORDER—NO, 100, Orrice or tie Carer or Poxice, RS ARE. ed were :—Daniel Brooxiyn, April 28, 1s Tt is the duty of the police force'to not only make every effort w prevent the commission of crime, but to capture criminals, the performance of which duty is seriously embarrassed by the untimely publicity given to movements of the Police Department by members thereof The public do not desire to know how criminals are caught; they only want to Know that they are caught. | The capture of important criminals, after they have been publicly notitied of the movements of the police in that direction, is next to impossible, The practice heretofore tolerated’ of giving publicity to offences of @ serious character belore the capture of criminals engaged therein must cease. It is therefore ordered that from this date any member of employe of this department ‘who shal! give publicity to any movement of the police foree in relation to any crime that may have been com: mitted, before the arrest of the parties connected there- with, will be dismissed from the department. ‘Th anding officers of precincts and sut-precincts full and complete statement connected with together with the nature of their offences, ‘&c., ail of which facts will be given by the Chief of Police to the regularly designated ARPRESENTATIVES OF THE PRESS, But when a crime has been committed, and all persons concerned therein have not been arrested, then’a con- fidential and separate report of all facts connected with the case Will be forwarded immediately to the Chief of Pollee, who will submit the same to the Board, which facts will not be given to the public until the saine can be done without “defeating the ends of Justice,” By order of the Board.

In spite of the fact that the Court of Pardons in special session sealed his doom, and that Governor Parker, later still, re- lied to all the importunities of Lusignani’s friends if a firm refusal to interfere with the execution of the law, Mr. Wurtz, counsel for the culprit, has not for one hour relaxed his efforts. A large dele- gation of tbe citizens of Morris county, headed by the Italian Minister, waited on Governor Parker and presented to him numerous petitions praying for a respite. The Governor at last consented to allow the culprit a respite of two weeks, in order that time may be afforded’ Lusignani’s counsel to bring additional arguments before the Court of Pardons, which will meet next week to consider the case. It is now confidently believed that the eae will be commuted to imprisonment or Chariea J.

The Reciprocity Treaty Diplomacy and Question of Annexation to the United Statos—General Schofield’s Mission— What is Said of the Visit of the War Ship California—Would the Population be ® Desirable Acquisition to Aimoeri- ean Soviety!—Leprosy and the Labor Supply. Honouvno, April 11, 1873. The fervor with which the questions of annexwtion and reciprocity were urged at my last writing has lessened, and we are again in still waters, There are some folks here who believe that whon Gon orals Schollela and Alexander reach Washington andmake their report Admiral Pennock will at once receive orders to tow this interesting eroup across the water and attach them to Uati- fornia or Oregon. One thing certain, to be towed by such @ ship as the California, and with such @ gallant set of oMcers, would go far to heal tie wounds we might receive. ‘The scories that aré current, and believed to a great extent, would astonish a people who, perhaps, have not given us a thought since the excitement caused by the accession of our new King dicd away. Ad- miral Pennock is still with us, winning the re 7 of all classes by his casy, courteous treatment of those with whom he comes in contact. Two boats from California have been abseat & week, survey- ing the much vaunted Pearl River harbor, and @oubtiess the Secretary of the Navy has an ex- hauative description of its advantages and disad- vantages a# a naval station. As a mutter of course, many of ua who desire a reciprocity treaty believe isto be just the ;.whtie some of us who have an idea that it will cost more than it will come to. as a station wisely keep our tungues still, LEPROSY AND OTHER DiSBASRS. Our new Board of Health is alter the unfortunate lepers, and the accounts which reach the public car from week to week are truly heartrending. In ten days seventy-three of these wniortunates were picked up within a radius of ten miles from this city, and sent away to the leper settlement on Molokai, From the other islands the same sad story comes. The recent census gave the number of lepers at the settlement at 438, One of the mem- bers of the Board of Health has told me that at the present rate of collection the number wouid.reach a thousand belore the next Legisiature meets, in April, 1874, The vigorous measures of the present Board may oheck the spread of this fearful svourge. | The natives are very mach excited over the action of the health officers, and have held public meet- ings, but without making any definite line of ac tion, A person who had been sent to the'depot, where lepers are collected before banishment, made an attack on the government doctor, tiring at him and causing him to beat a hasty retreat. The police were also fired on, but nobody was hurt. THE LABOR SUPPLY QUESTION. A decision has been given in the case of a con- tract taborer by the full beneh of Judges of our Su- preme Court, which has caused some little com- ment. A Chinese cooile engaged to serve tor a term of five years from the first day of Novembet 1865, but after a service of two years and thi months he was found guilty of an assault upon his employer and sentenced to five years at hard labor in our prison, During his imprisonment he was so weil behaved and trusty that the present King was prevatied upon to pardon him aiter four years’ im- prisonment, Fairly out ol prison, his former em- ployer claims hun, Saying that he still owes two years and nine months’ service, The case went be fore our Court, and the Chiei Justice, KE. H. Allen, and Associate Justice Widemann remanded the man to his employer. Associate Justice Llartwell deliv- ered an opipion dissenting from the other two Judges. Judges Allen and Widemann de- ; cide that the mam must return to servitude seven years and more after the commencement of a term of service for five years. Judge Hart- well decides that the term of five years and the one year of penalty allowed by our statutes ex- pired in 1871. It is only fair to say that Allen and Widemann are both heavy sugar planters, holding hundreds of contracts which would be seriously auected by Hartwell’s decision, RECIPROCITY WITH AMERICA, Judge Allen is very desirous of going to Wash- ington as an envoy to work up & reciprocity treaty in the interests of his labor contracts. Judge Hartwell is a man who fought to put down slavery during your rebellious times, and is not disposed to favor the “peculiar situation,” even under the guise of contract labor. Pubilc opinion ts in favor of Hartwell's decision to a considerable extent. Of course there are many who bow the knee to the sugar planter that thrift may Tollow who differ in terms or who keep still. The coolie system is doomed.
