DEEP SEA SEARCHES, The British Ship Challenger on a Scientific Mission. LIFR BENEATH THE SEA. Dredging in the Ocean World to Solve the Mysteries of the Deep. What Has Been Accomplished Already-- List of the | fiicers of the Challenger ani “ames of the Scicntific Par- ty---ihe Programme for tho Four Years’ Cruise Round the Globe, Haiprax, N. 8., May 12, 1873, The British ship Challenger, with the scientific ‘expedition lately fitted out by the British govern- ment for a cruise round the worid, arrived at this port on briday last, 9th inst,, from Besmuda, which Place she had left about the 20th of April, The HERALD correspondent, knowing how eagerly the scientific world looked jor news trom the expedi- tion, went on board the ship as soon as she was moored to her berth in the dockyard and made known his mission to the officers, by whom he was cordially received, and every facility placed at his Gisposal ior obtaining all the details oi the voyage worth recording, the objects and purposes of the expedition, &c. A number of gentlemen belonging to this city, interested in the scientile researches of the expeditionary party, have visited the Vessel since her arrival, and have expressed their great astonishment at the many and varied specimens so far secured, which were submitted to their inspection. This expedition of the Challenger is one of the most important that bas probably ever leit any country, and, no doubt, the revelations ‘which will be forthcoming of the mauy unknown MYSTERIES OF THE MIGHTY DEEP will surprise the world of naturalists, navigators and scientific persons, The originators of the ex- pedition were fur a long time appealing to the Britisa government for aid and assistance, but at last their importunities were rewarded, and orders given by the Board of Admiralty tor fitting out the expedition. Then no expense was spared, so that success might be the result, and there can be no doubt that, should wind and weather permit, that after the three years’ cruise, many valuable facts ‘will be ascertained, and many a doubt set at rest. For now, in theve days of ocean telegraphy, it is essential to know tie configuration of the depths of the sea; the shape and character of the creatures and plants that haunt it, the force and set of its currents, the figure and dimensions of the great ocean basins and ihe temperature of the water at various deptis. On all these points we are promised in the records of this scientific ex- pedition information hitherto unknown. No doubt upon what the result of the expedition will reveal at the termination of the cruise will depend the future of sub:narine telegraphy. THE CHALLENGER ‘was formerly on this station, but in’ a different «capacity from the present. Then her mission was as a war vessel—now it 1s in the interests of peace and civilization. Her guns are all removed now, to make room for the expedition party; where heavy guns were formerly placed on board the ship is now occupied by surveying, analytical, photographic and navigation rooms, To accom- modate so large a party, requirmg such a large stock of scientific instruments, much space was required. In addition to the usual accommoda- tions for the officers, there are large rooms fitted up expressly for surveying and chart making duties, eupplicd with every requisite and containing a library of charts of every part of the known world. ‘There are only two heavy gunson board the ship and but a small supply of small arms. Instead, however, there are instruments of every known description for the use of the party, such as ecience and forethought could suggest and inge- nuity devise. There are stores of sounding gear 1 all sorts, Credges, nets, seines and lines of every conceivable kind, Among the latter apparatus is what is called a dcep sea trawl, which has been used at a depth of 3,000 and 4,c00 fathoms, The trawl was constructed by a Dr. Hearder, of Ply- mouth, Engiand, who supplied all the nets and dishing tackle te the expedition, TUE OFFICERS. The Challenger is a steam corvet of 1,460 tons and 800 horse power. Her present staff of oflicers are :—Captain, G. 8. Nares; Commander, J. F. L. P. Maclear; Lieutenant, Pelham Aldrich; Lieutenan A. C. B. Bromley; Lieutenant, G, R. Bethel; Nav! ging Lieutenant, T. H. Tizard; Paymaster, R. A. Richards; Surgeon, A. Crosbie; Chief Engineer, J. A. Ferguson ; Assistant Paymaster, John Hines; Sub-Licutenant, Lord George G. Campbell (brother, I believe, of the Marquis 01 Lorne); Sub-Lieuten- ants, Henry ©. Slogget, Andrew J. Balfour and Ar- thur Channer; Navigating Sub-Lieutenants, A. Havogall and Herbert Swire; Assistant Surgeon, George Maciean, M. A. M.; engineers, William J. J. Spry and Aured J, Allen; assistant engineers, ‘illiam A. Howlett and William J. Abbott; boat- swain, Richard Cox; carpenter, F, W. Westiord. ‘The crew cousists of 150 or 160 seamen, marines and boys, THE CIVILIAN STAFF. The civilian stai consists of Professor Wyville Thomson, D. C. L., F. K. S., &c., director of the ex- ditio! H. H. Moseley, M. A., naturalist and tunict; J. Y. Buchanan, M. A., analytical chem- ist; Mr. John Murray, naturalist and historian; Dr. Von Wiliiemvoss Von Schm, naturalist; J. J. Wild, private secretary and artist. Captain Nares stands high in naval circles asa surveyor and was specially selected by the Lords of the nglisi Admiralty for the impor- tant duties assigned him. His second in com- Mand, Mr. Maciear, is no less celebrated @ mavigaior und surveyor, and in his selection aso the Admiralty exercised good judgment. Both gentiemen are well fitted to dis- charge the important duties entrusted to thom, ‘The civilian staf comprises some of the well-known scientific gentlemen @1 the day, who were specially selected jor the expedition. All of the o: addition to having been selected by the Boa Admiralty, had to receive the Queen's signi to their commissions, thus evidencing the g care exercised in fitting out the expecition Securing the services of competent gentien order that the expedition might be crowned \ success, WHEN PUT IN COMMISSION, The Challenger was put in commission last No vember, at Sheerness, England, where sie had been jor the previous twelve months fitting out for the cruise. It was not, however, until the 21st of December that, everything being in readiness, she sailed on tier important aud wonderful ms- aion, to visit afi sorts of places and countries round the Worl’, the object sought atter being the depth, character, specitic gravity and chemical nature ol the mighty wi For this purpose soundia: and dredgings, whenever the weather permitted, have been taken, and will be continued to the end ofthe cruise. At the commencement of the voyage the ship experienced stormy weather, and ¥ little was accomplished by tie scientific party the first few days, Once across the « tor ded waters of the Bay of Biscay, however, there wee a spell of fine weather, which, r ‘kabie to say, has continued almost uninterruptediy until the siup’s arrival at this port. Up to the present time SOUNDINGS AND DREDGINGS have been carried on almost without cessation be- tween Lisbon (the first port reached) und Gloral- tar; thence on to Madeira, to Teneriffe, and thence the loug stretch across the 4,000 mules in- tervening between the latter place and St. Thomas (West Indies); trom thence en to Lermuda and Nova Scotia. ‘the greatest depth as yet sounded in was 4,400 fathoms (27,000 feet, or four and a half miles). muda, From Bermuda a line of sonuding» were taken to the vicinity of Long Island, aud from thence on to this port, which occupied nineteen days. This.can be taken as gn illustration of the time the expedition will be at sea between place and place. So far the expedition has been suce: ‘al in Osh- ing up from the hidden depibs of the ocean many curious creatures hitherto anknown to the world of science, consisting of fis, zoophytes, corals, sponues, &c. These creatures have been taken jrom the bottom of the set at depths varying trom one thousand five hundred to four ‘thousand fathoms—depths at which it was thought tinpossible dor iish-iife to exist, ‘the scientific gentlemen on board are, naturally enough, surprised at the suc cess Of their investigations, ag they were scarce: prepared for the discoveries which Rave so quickly rewarded their labors and the valuable additions they have already made to the Fauna and Flora of the deep. The exploring party take great encour- agement from the success that has so far attended the expedition, and are determined to follow up the course of investigation they have so awecess- pap Aig ee. oat In looking over the specimens in the analyzing room I was struck with the pecu- Har aspect of many of them. Sowe of the SPECIMENS OF FISH LIFE, which were taken from @ depth of 1,700 and 2,000, ‘This was between St. ‘ihemas and Ber- | ards, were perfectly transparent, with little black dorath the heud resembling eves. These protruded from the body, a8 if 1o1eed out (which they ao doubt were) by the expausion of the elastic duds and gases contained im their tissves by the with- drawal of the enormous pressure to which they are sub,cet in their native localitics. Many of tne un- known specimens taken trom the ocean bed and from the suriace were very curious indeed. Some ©: the latter were agelatenous substance, requir- ing close scrutiny ty ascertain whether it ever was animate or inanimate matter, They are unlike anything ever yet discovered relating to lsh species, They are merely labelled where found, at what depth, &e., the iamities to which these curi- osities ol the deep belong having yet to be deter- mined as the expedition pro, resses, Having thus far given an idea of the importance and extent ot the ship and her fittings for the purposes or the scientific expedition, I wil more minutely deserive what came under observation durrag my visit, Pas-ing down the min hatchway, the after part ol the second deek is entirely titted up ‘or the accommodation oi the sctentdie garty. On the starboard side are lucated the surveying roows, where notes vu! the datly soundings are kept and new charts made. On the opposite side are the analyzing departments (beiore referred to), where books in all lansuages ou sc:entitic subjects were rauged on shelves, Here were bottles containing specimens o1 THR VARIED FORMS OF SEA LIFE, labelled and sorted for easy reference, specimens Of the bottom of the ccean floor trom deptus of 4,000 tat oms, Some of the latter were a dark gray loam, others Nght, more a reudish tint, &c. it is by tals means that the projessors are enabled to ascertain the directions of the ocean currents and irom whence the specimen of earth or plant taken irom the bottom has been carried. Micro- scopes and iustrument; o! various iorms for de- tecting the wonders ol the deep when brought to light were also stored in this d-partment, As soon as the dredge is brought on board the ship its con- tents are taken into this room, where the pro- jessors of chemistry analyze the same and report it, preserving the rare and unknown specimens of avimate and inanimate matter, and throwing the rest away. This department 18 Kmenpeet presided over by i/1ylessor qbomyace, assisted by J. Murray, H. H. Moseley and Dr. Von Schur, naturalist. ‘The chemical and analytical studios were next shown tome. Here were arranged retorts, stills, tues of all sizes, bottles, hydrometers, thermometers, blow ines; in fact, tie varied paraphernalia usually Found In the best iaboratories—cucmicals in draw- ers and jars in racks—all secured fiom accident by the roliing of the ship by any clever devices, ‘This department is presided over by Mr. Buchanan, chem.st. Moving forward, the photographer's de- ariment was shown tome. This was m charge of Corporal Newbold, of the Royal Engineers (trom the School of Photography at Chatham). Here were hegatives, intsresting and rare, or the places al- ready visited—Lisbon, Gibraltar, Madeira, ‘Tene- rife, St. Tuomas, Bermuda, and other points of in- terest in the North Atlantic Ocean. If he coutinues his work as zeatously a8 he seems to have begun it, Mr. Newbold’s cotlection will be as valuable as it is varied, and its choice character will make many eager to secure copies. THB AQUARIUM, The next object of interest pointed out was the aquarium, which, although at present deficient of occupants, Will probably, by and by, be well stocked with many rare and curious creatures. Up to the Present time the hive specimens procured were known, aud, therefore, it was not desirabie to pre- serve them; it is only the rare, unkuown and curious that the expedition is im search of, and these will be preserved in this Aqnarium whenever and wherever secured. Near the aquarium were the water bottles, which were certainly curious devices 10r bringing ‘4 samples O1 tue water Irom the depths sounded. The bottles are so constructed as when they touch the bottom the water is secured. in them, where it remains until brought to the sur- face, when it 18 taken out, bottled up, analyzed, anil its specific gravity ascertained in comparison with samples from the surface. The bottle, as it is called, looks not unlike a large brass syringe, Une of these got out of gear tne other day when sounding off the La Bave Banks, and when it was brougnt to the suriace it was flattencd out quite smooth, the great pressure of water at the depth it had ‘been sunk having proved too much for the metal tube when it was unfilled. The dredge was next in- spected. It 18 @ wrought lron irame, about four feet long and a foot wide. To this is laced a strong bag net about four feet square, along the extreme edge of which are three or jour rope swabs for trailing along the bottom. A strong rope ot ltalan hemp 1s secured to this frame, which passes over a sheave connected to an apparatus calied the “accumulator.” This consists of two circular discs of wood, connected by a number oi India rubber rods, which give and take while the dredge is being dragged over the irregularities of the ocean bed. ON THE UPPER DECK 1s stationed a powerlul engine jor heaving this dredge in when the ship is under way. The pro- grew’ ot heaving ay even by steam, is slow—tne redge being raised only at the rate of 1,000 fathoms in an hour. Besides this engine there are also two others, somewhat smaller and made por- table, so that they can be taken away in boats for heaving in the sounding line when in rivers or shallow waters, There were also several coils of what appeared to be telegraph wire; but which on inquiry I found out to be a sort of cable for ascertaining the tem- perature of the sea at various depths. Up to the foes time, however, very little experience had een had with it. Miles of Tope were stowed away in tiers, with wire line of all sizes for sounding and dredging purposes. The deep sea sounding line is fastened to a metal weight of over one hundred pounds, whieh is regulated ac- cording to the depth at which soundings are to be taken. These weights are secured to a brass tube at the end of the line and about. foet or so from the bottom. When the tube strikes the ocean bed the weight is unuooked trom the line by a very simple and ingenious process and is left on the botiom, while the tube is brought up to the sur- face intact. Scores of these metal weights have been lost and will be lost before the cruise is over, because they are too heavy to draw up from the bettom, and the metal is Of little value compared to the iniormation sought after, While looking through the Soueue epartment my xuttention was particularly directed to some rare specimens of the fora of the deep which were brought up in THE DREDGE OFF THE LA HAVE BANKS. Another singular fact in connection with these dredging operations was the presence of a number of pinish, periect in every particular, which were found in the dredge off Bermuda, at the depth of some three thousand yards. On the voyage from St. Thomas to Bermuda a shark was killed, and a umber of its young, which it contained, were taken out, and are now preserved in the chemical department among the many other rare and valu- able collections, ‘The Challenger will repair, coal and take on board fresh supplies at this port before resuming her cruise. Her stay in this port may be ten or fiiteen days, according to circumstances. The 1ol- lowing 1s @ correct programme of HER FUTURE MOVEMENTS, On leaving Haliiax she will return to Bermuda; thence again cross the Atlantic, callf at the Azores, and making a second visit to Madeira and Teneriffe en route to the Cape de Verdes and Bahia; then a long stretch across the eastern equatorial region to St. Pan!’s Rocks (where Her Majesty's sbip | Mege was wrecked in 1871), and Fernando Noronha, where it is expected she will arrive some time in September. Her course will then be shaped for the Cape of Good Hope, Where the ship will remain for a month to refit and give the party a little recreation. This, it is expected, will biing them into November, and will complete the first stage of the cruise, After leaving the Cape, Prince kdward Isiand, Crozet and Kuguelen Isiands, and, perhaps, even as far soutir ec latitude 65, will be visited betoré Melbourne and Sydney, New south Wales, are reached. Atter reach- ing the neighborhood of the great ice barrier and Spending @ lew mouths in these regions ofice and show the ship will move north to Melbourne, where she will remain for a few weeks to give the crew a little spell and recreation alier the hard knocking about they are likely to receive on sich animhospiiable coast as Crozet and hu- welen Land.

The natives are said to be awiid, untamable race, and the ship's stay at this point will not be without great interest. From New Guine® the course will be through the Araiura Sea und Fieres Sea to the Philippine Isiands, and other adjacent isles so thickly stua- ding thove waters, until Japan and China are seen, At Mantle, where, if all goes weil, the ship is timed te reach in November, 874, the expedition will refit before proceeding to China and Japan. At the latter place sie will remain some months, going to Jeddo, the inliund sea and many other places new snd interesting in this quarter of the wor From this point the course will be shaped northerly to Kamschatka, yisiting those unfre- quent od regions, the Pillen Isles, New Britam and the Solonon groups on her way.

Modern Paintings at the Leavitt Art Gallery. During the season now elapsing injury has been done to art by the praise lavished upon inferior pictures by more than one indiscriminating jour- nal. Consequently, When works of real merit, like those now exhibiting at the Leavitt Art Gallery, come to be spoken ol, the counoisseur is tempted to listen incredulously, and it is scarcely surprising if ‘the ilettanté grow apathetic. Without any of the usual embellishments of adulation, therefore, we are contented to jet the plain fact speak for itself, congctous that truth, like beauty, when unadorned is oiten adorned the most. In the present collec- tlon are to be sound specimens by Lejeune, Troyon, Rabbe, Th. Gerard, Reyntjens, Pecrus, Stroebel, Rosierse, Verboeckhoven, hioler, De la Hoese, Van Sehendel, Madou, August Becker, Schaefels, Dillens and Springer, besides six large paintings by the late H. L, Rolfe, which were painted to order of Samuel T. Tisdale, and are to be sold by order of execuirix. These pic- tures by Rolfe present very unusual claims to ad- miration. They are the largest of their kind ever produced and belonz among the Lest exponents of Rolie’s art ever witnessed in this country. “The Last Struggle” is extremely spimted. The acter tu it 18 a large samon. ‘the fish, after a severe struggle, is on the point of being captured, the scene of the contest being the River Usk, North Wales, The coloring 18 unwont- edly brilliant and the painting excessively elaborated. Equatiy good examples of Kolie’s pe- cular art are seen in “salmon irom the Severn,” “rout and Grayling from the River Willey, Wilt- shire,” “Lake Trout, rom Lough Neagh, Leland ;’” “Fish from the Kivér Lea, England,” and “Fish from the Thames.’ Without being fanatical ad- mirers of this division of art, it is but lair to con- fess that so fine an instalment of this kind 1s very rarely seen in One coilection, and what makes these contributions peculiarly vaiuable is the re- lection that new Kolfe is gone no one seems capable of adequately filling the studio he left vacant, These sx patatings will be sold to-morrow nigit, Perhaps the strongest painting in the 158 that compose the sale is “Cattle,” by ‘Treyon, trom the collection of the Chevalier de Heus de Nijenrode, Two cows are represented, one standing, the other recumbent. Observe the exquisite execution of the rougi hair, the wonderful trath with which stolid amiability aud browsy content are expressed, This ‘{royon Will be sold on Wednesday night.

In consequence of the extreme length of the catalogue a large proportion of the articles ex- pected to be sold at Clinton Hall on Saturday night are held over until this morning. Among these are nearly one-half the jewelry specified, and all the engravings, paintings, armory, &c., as well as the large French plate glass showcase, with plated frame, valued at $150, The principal items remaining over, however, are the jewels, which embrace unique specimens of antique cameos and intaglios, Many elegant and interesting specimens were sold on Saturday evening at prices 8v distressingly low as to war- Tant the suspicion that all the antiquarians were out of town, and that those remaining in town were packing their trunks and balancing their leagers, But, undoubtedly, brilliant bargains were Made; that is to say, Valuable antiques were ob- tained ata figure ridiculously small, and gems of much intrinsic worth, recording the cunning work- manship of centuries ago, went tor less than the value of the gold in which ther were mounted, it will, doubtless, please bargain hunters to learn that a similar chance will be repeated this evening. NEW STEAM YACHTS, Construction of Pleasure Crafts in Wil- Mamsburg—Their Dimensions, Accom- modations and Character of Ma- chinery. Mr, Joseph B, Van Deusen, the naval architect, is building at his shipyard, foot of North Seventh street, Williamsburg, a large steam yacht for the Messrs. Witnerby Brothers, of Fort Henry, and de- signed for service on Lake Champlain. This craft, which is being pushed forward as rapidly as possi- ble, isof beautiful model, and will be furniehed with engines of great power, a high rate of speed being desired by her owners. The dimensions of this yachtare as follows:—Length of keel, 88 feet; length on water line, 90 feet; length over all, 97 feet; breadth of beam, 17 feet 6 inches; depth of hold, 6 feet 6 inches; draught of water, 6 feet; tonnage, yacht club measurement, 87 tons; builders’ meas- urement, 91 tons. Her keel, stem, sternpost, &c., are of white oak, while the hull generally is of hackmatack and yellow pine. All the materiais used in her construction are of the best quality, and superior workmanship will mark every portion of her construction. THE MOTIVE POWER of this yacht will consist of two upright engines, having cylinders 14 inches in diameter by 14 inches stroke of piston, Steam will be supplied by one return tabular boiler of the following dimensions :— Front, 8 feet 6 inches; length, 8 feet; depth, 8 feet, and capable of sustaining a working pressure of 110 pounds. All the work exposed of the engine department will be highly ornamented, while the railing about the machinery will be of unique de- sign, The machinery is being constructed at tne Delamater Iron Werks. The accommodations of thia craft will be very fine and handsomely finished and furnished, The saloon will be forward of the engine, as also will be two staterooms, pantry, retiring rooms, &c., while aft of the machinery is intended for a smohing room for guests, kitchen, messroom tor the crew, &c. Hard wood finish of exquisite contrasts will be used in the saloon aud staterooms, the ceiling being in white with TASTEFUL DECORATIONS, It is the design of the builder to launch this craft on the 3lst instant, and to deliver her com- lete on Lake Champlain on the 4th of July next. jt has not been decided by the Messrs, Witherby what name shall be given her; but in all proba- bility she will bear that of a daughter of one of the owners, The power 01 the machinery 01 this boat will be equal to that of Mr, Aspinwall’s steam yacht Day Dream, although she is twenty feet less on the water line and tweaty-live feet less im lengii on deck. Mr, George Reynolds has the di rection and superintendence of her construction. At the same yard Mr. Van Deusen yesterday luid the keel of another steam yacht oi greater dl- mensions and greater puwer than the above, This craft will be built for the Austrian Vice Consul, Mr. H. 0. Fritsch, and when finished ste will mal trip across the ocean, Ler owner wd friends tending to visit the World’s Fair in Vienna. Her dimensions will be as tollows:—Length of keel, 103 feet; length on water line, 110 fect; length over all on deck, 128 feet; breadth ef beam, 20 feet; dep of hold, 17 feet 6 inches; draught of water, 6 feet; tonnage, about 160 tons. ‘The greatest care will be taken in THE CONSTRUCTION of this craft, and the materials used, as with the first mentioned, will be the best that can be fur- nishe: fhe keel, stem, sternpost and wales will be of oak; the frame of @a@k and hackmarack; the planking ana ceiling of yellow pine; the beams and deck irames of yellow pine; the deck of waite pine, and toe stanchions of locust, THE MACHINERY to be putin this craft will be constructed by the Yale iron Works, of New Haven, under the super- intendence ofa Mr. Wilson. The engines wiil be 16 inches diameter ot cytaders, with 14 inches stroke of piston, and be iitted With @ surface condenser. The botler will be 11 feet front, 12 feet long and § feet deep, having three iurnaces, Everything con- nected with the imachinery will be ol the finest order, much of it being highly finished, as it is the intention of her owner to have a crait inevery particular of construction and ornamentation in- lerior to none Of her class. THE ACCOMMODATIONS will be very ample. Once large saloon, with lockers fitted so as to be used for berths as weil as soias, anc two staterooms, with pantries and closets con- nected, will be arranged ait the machinery, while the kitchen, storeroom, captain's and evgineer’s rooms and forecastie for mate, assistant engineers and sailors will be forward. The saleon will be magnificently finished in hard wood, with tie ceihag in partt-coiors and gilded mouldings, The state rooms Will also be prettily decorated and up- eoteer in the most exquisite manner. This craft will be FULL SCHOONER RIGGED, and though the dimensions of her spars are not de- | cided upon she will have housing topmasts, fixed bowsprit and flying jibboom. it is the intention ot Mr. Van Deusen to launch the yacht the latter part of June or during the first week of July, She wiil be added to the New York Yacht Club fleet, FIRE IN OHARLESTON, & 0.

Mr. Grorce W. Curtis lately sent to a Western lecture committee the amount by which the re- ceipts fell short of the expenditures on occasion of his lecture. This rare example o! restitution, if it should prove contagious, would bankrupt many of the lecturing fraternity, we fear, THE Lonpon Bee-Hive is one ot the cheap penny papers established for circulation among the work- Ing classes, and has reacned its thirtcenth year of prosperity, giving twelve pages of democracy for one penny, A LONDON PareR publishes the following as news:—“In America Congress has passed an amendment to the constitution, mereasing the salary of the President to $50,000, those of the Vice President, Speaker, Cabinet officers and judges to $10,000, and those of the members of Congress to $6,500." Hgkk F, Jagor has published at Berlin a notable book of ‘Travels in the Puilippine Islands,” a little known dependency of Spain, In some respects his picture of the Puilippiues is Mattering. ‘Fravelling is easy and sale, the inhabitants are hospitable and obliging, the authorities courteous and helpful, the beauties of nature inexhauatible, and the facilities of collection auch that the naturalist can readily make his trip a source of profit, The relations of the Spaniards and the native population are also excellent, the latter being thoroughly domestt- cated by their adoption of the religion and, m some degree, the mauners of their conquerors, On the other hand, the administration is faulty, corrupt | and overrun with place-hunters; the industrial re- sources of the islands are undeveloped, pub- Itc works neglected, finances embarrassed— worst of all, Europeans and natives alike are given up to an indolence which will cost them dear when exposed to a competition with a more vigorous race. The Spanish system of monopoly and ex- clusion cannot endure much longer, and upon its fall the islands may, we are toid, be expected to pass to the United States. THE TOTAL NUMBER Of periodicals published in Paris during the past year was 785; among them were 75 reviews, of which the Révue des Deur Mondes enjoys the highest amount of popularity, and no fewer than 84 religious journals, of which 68 represent Catholic interests. Among the Catholic journals may be cited the Echo from Pur- gatory, Which projesses to publish “the works apd events calculated to edily the faithful who are de_ voted to the souls imprisoned in the place of peni- tence, which is, happily, but provisional.” There were 99 scientific publications and 121 belonging to jurisprudence, public education, political economy and architecture. The “literary” journals, as they are called in France—those which do not touch upon potitics in any shape—number 82; but Spirit- ualists can only muster three exponents of the faith that is in them, Mr. Joun G.

Should 100 subscribers be found for this he will follow with an English-French-Mohawk vocabulary or Seneca dictionary, Mr. Rospert GirreNn having written a pamphiet on “American Railways as Investments,” the London Spectator tells the British public thar tt is their own fanit if they are swindled, since the ma- jority of our railways are in a sound condition, and the net income to investors averages over six per cent on capitai. It points out the fact that the average eost of American railways per mile is only £10,800, against £35,000 per mile in England, the land grants being taken into account. Still, it thinks we are building too many new railway lines, THE LONDON Atheneum thus closes a review of Mr. and Mrs. Stenhouse’s two books on Mormen- ism :—“‘No one can be more keenly alive than Brig- ham is to the absurdity of polygamy, now the chief feature of the Mormon Church, being expressly prohibited in the book of Mormon, while it can be defended trom the Bible. It is strange to find Shaker celebatists, Communists, Protestant monog- amists, Mormon polygamists, all accepting the Bible; all declaring that their faith is not merely that permitted, but that enjoined upon those who would lead the Bible lie.

More The Herald Reporter's Theory Regarding the Mystery, It is no exaggeration to say that Newark was greatly excited yesterday over the story of the Frank Forrester ghost as told in the HERALD; 80 universal was the interest, and so rapidly did the announcement spread that the HeRaup contained an account of the apparition, that copies of that newspaper commanded fabulous rates. The mys- tery afforded @ subject for comment at the break- fast table, on the way to and from church, and at the haunts and lounging places of the unregener- ate. During the day many of the more curious vis- ited the scene of ghostly visit, and from the river many inquisitive eyes roamed over the ruin and pictured in their umaginations the mid- night vigil of the faithful — representa- tive of the HERALD, The spot at which the spectre disappeared was especially an object of interest. A few young fellows even ventured into the crumbling ruin, acquiring by their intrepidity a temporary halo of glory in the eyes of timid young ladies, whose gallants had not made bold enough to enter the ghostly precincts. The shattered walls and the dark wine vault became the objects of more attention than they had ever before been. Heroic gentiemen of immature years passed proposals, before their sweethearts, to spend a night upon the ground, In fine, the ghost had stirred Newark to its very core, A SINGULAR SUMMONS, Late in the evening of Saturday the reporter, Whose experience has already been recorded, set out Jor a second visit to Newark, this time in re- sponse to the following summons :— Satunpay, May 17, 1873. Drar ——:—Accompany me to the haunt of a dreadful popu thisevening. Seelzebub himseit walks the earth. have seon hum with these eyes und can pile oaths like Ossa upon Pelion that | speak truly. The atiair has not yet fully got wind. Pray come, Without fail." Yours, This call was from a Newark professional friend, a man of considerable personal courage and great presence of mind. Not unwilling to compare ex- periences with him for the sake of fathoming the mystery, the HERALD representative lost no time in seeking him out. WHAT A NEWARK MAN SAW. “At a little after twelve o’clock last night,” said the Newark man, “‘Iset out from the railroad de- pot of the Paterson and Newark road, near the ruing of the Herbert estate, with which you are familiar, bent upon knowing the truth of certain ghostly rumors concerning the reappearance of Frank Forrester, the suicide, upon this mundane sphere. I had hired a boat for the night and hav- ing provided myself with a piece of sailcloth asa protection against the cold, I felt fully prepared io remain out untildawn. In a tew minutes I ran my boat aground at the beach in front of the cem- etery, which adjoins the Forrester estate, and was soon clambering up the terraced lawn toward the ruin. { had thrown the sailcloth over my shoulders for the night chill was disa- greeable, and had well nigh reached the summit of the terrace when suddenly a sight met my gaze which froze the marrow in my bones, Out from the shadow of the ruimed mansion there glided a thing, a being, that words {ail to describe. It was monstrous in size and shape, and from a huge, mis- shapen head there gleamed a single, flery eye, while smoke and flame issued trom the nostrils of the terrible creature. lt or he was apparently no other than THE DEVIL HIMSELF. My first impulse was to turn and run to the bont, but tear froze my limbs, and upon the reaction to men as that which they must accept.” Taw Spectator finds in Charles D. Warner's “Saun- terings” the following qualities :—Cleverness, sub- tlety, humor, refinement, freshness and pathos, But ‘who reads an American book?? A METROPOLITAN SUNDAY. wipsmateneney Yesterday’s Army of Fashion on the Avenucs and in the Park—A Picasant Sabbath and an Appreciative Commu- nity. Metropolitans were privileged yesterday to en- joy one of the finest days of this glorious season of fading Spring and budding Summer, and, as a whole ;! that is, speaking for the classes that gener- ally relish & Sunday out of doors, they made the most of the opportunity, The day was clear, though cloudy; the sun was not uncomfortably warm, and @ light fresh, sweet breeze tempered his rays and swept like @ genius of health and invigoration all over the face of the begrimed city. In fact that breeze in some respects was charm- ing, and im others it was detestable. For its own sweet breath the people welcomed it, but for the volleys of dust that it wafted into their eyes it was cordially detested, and Captain Thorne’s brigade, which draws the pay and does not sweep the streets even as well as the breezes do, was uniformly abominated. THE POPULAR PAGEANT commenced with the churchgoers yesterday morn- ing, and the avenues were alive with handsome men and beauteous women, on their way to their respective slirines. The ladies, a8 usual, were the early butterflies of the season, and were radiant of color and models of grace in_ attire. It was singularly noticeable that silks and satins were rare indeed in the long cel- umns of neutral tints and rich fabrics that marked the route of the brigade of beauty that filed through all the city thoroughtares. After church services came the long, siow walk home- ward, when the Aes Wilt seem usually more light-hearted, as though they had just dumped from their shouiders heavy burdens of sin and felt relief of mind and body, which made them at once happy aud indolent. And it was just at this tune that the parade of fashion was seen to its best advantage, for it came in compact wasses, bewil- dring the eye and charming the mind, The church- goers are a sort of deployed column, but the church- comeis are solid battalions and, of course, display @ finer front and flank, Alterneon brought another class of people, THE HARD-FISTED CLASS, who know little of luxury, but enjoy “the day of rest’ with an ardent zeal that almost seems to make their pleasure a toil. They turned outon tours of visiting and of recreation, and the strect car lines were busy in carrying them in thousands to the great free gardeu—the people's pleasure ground—Central Park, The Park appeared in much better condition yesterday than it did a week ago, and the young emerald tints of the pep laine leaves and bursting buds had a delightfully reireshing effect upon tie eye. The lawus are richly carpeted with sweet smelling and luxuriant grasses, and the roads, walks, paths and drives are in admirable order. At three o’clock there were probably fifty thousand people in the Park. The pedestrian roads were filled with people three and tour abreast, ail of whom, following the general direction of the roads irom the entrance, seemed to be converging at the Mall and Terrace. Ic was peculiar to notice how strong and steady the tide swept inward, and that the few who seemed to be leaving the Park had to give the way for the heavier current, and actually pick their paths homeward. Along the main drives there wasa constant wilrr and rumble of magnificent equipages, that seemed like A GRAND PARADE OF HANDSOME VEHICLES and superb horseflesh. There seemed to be no end to them while they lasted, and they came and went with wheeis flashing and flickering in the glowin, light uke @ upiverse of fying suns chasing eacl otner round the world. The Park may be #aid now to be “open for the season,” ‘The boats are on the Lake, the goats are on the Mall, the leaves are on the trees, the children are on the ‘“scups,” the birds are on the wing (when they are not on the twigs), the restaurants are ‘on the make," and the police are on tholr “beats! to see that the boys ain't on the ase. What more could the people desire with the biggest eity on the Continent, a new charter, aud a “reiorm’”’ city governnent? THE REPORTED ARREST OP THE BENDER PAMILY IN TEXAS, The Fort Scot (Kansas) Monitor, of the 14th, has the following :—“From a gentleman who arrived in the city yesterday, from wego, We learn that a telegram had been received at that place, stating that the Benders had been arrested in Texas, about twelve miles from Dalias, ‘The despatch gave bo from the sudden fright a second thought bage me continue on my course, Pulling the tattered sail further over my shoulders to hide the horrible vision from my sight, I started to run, but found that fear had weakened my powers, and that I could not advance with much rap- idity. Changing my _ original direction I moved toward a shed at the south ot the walls and had hardly ensconced myself behind it before I heard the gobiin’s iootsteps plainly coming toward me. Ahigh picketed fence intervened between me and the adjoining graveyard, and, without an instant’s refection, I gathered strength to sur- mouut the obstacle and ta od sneaked away toward the river as Jast as my failing powers would permit. The terror of that apparition so overcame me that] was unable to push my boat from shore for a good half hour aiter reaching the bank, auring which time I darea not turn my eyes im the direction of the ruin, lest my vision should Still further paralyze me. 1 was presently enabied to pash off, and made the best of my way home; but 1 assure you that I have been totally unnerved ever since. Nevertheless, I determined to visit the scene again to-night and have sent for you to accompany me upon my ex- cursion. I promise you a fine scare and a view of the abe aes of feuds and hobgoblins, and, by the beard of the prophets, this time 1 mean to ask his business with me, though he may spirit me away for my bolduess.” LIGHT UPON THE MYSTERY. Long before the excited man had finished the re- cital of his adventure a new light dawned upon the mental vision of the HERALD reporter. {t will be re- Membered that his visit was made upon the iden- tical night with that of the frightened Newarker, and in the white-robed visitor the reporter now saw an explanation of the mysterious spectre in white. The dread mystery was revealed at a glance. “My dear sir,’ quoth he, springing suddenly to nis feet and confronting the astonished story teller, ‘you flatter me by inver- sion, 80 to speak. 1 visited that ghostly habitat but yesternight, and 1, too, saw aspectre. It was @ tall, misshapen thing in white. I advanced to- wardit, Itfied. Youned! And 1 pursued. I was a Devil—with a capita! D. I am infinitely obliged to you for the comparison. I have heard bis dia- bolical majesty described as tine looking before now. See here, me voila: this ash-free cigar repre- sents my ‘single flery eye;’ the smoke, my ‘Naming, sulphurous breath;’ this glossy tile, ‘a hage, mis- shapen head,’ The other features you may at- tribute to darkness and your excited imagination, You begin to comprehend me. I {eel better my- self.” STILL THERE 18 A MYSTERY in connection with this affair. The publicity which has been given to the stories set afloat by the Ger- mans has brought numberless strange stories to hight, and there are river boatmen who aver that any moonlight night the ruins maybe seen to change their lights and shade in @ most mysterious and imcomprehensible manner. Queer lights fit about the ragged walls, and the underground vaults some times give jorth strange noises as of groaning and cries of distress. The reporters in company visited the place at midnight of Saturday, but nothing unusual was de. tected, and they came away, satisfied that the ghost will not appear except at its own good time and ghostly couvenience. The un- accountable shadows which had marked the cir- cular outlet or ventilator of the wiue vault were ascertained to have been caused bef Deed clouds, and even when they are known the appearance from the interior of the vault 18 very strange, and would frighten stout hearts tn the dim, ghostly hours past midnight. ‘The place is invested with a mystery, and at some future night there may be trner softens of departed spirits in that vicin- ity than have yet been shown to wendering mor- tals. It is just the neighborhood to expect a reali- zation of such @ vision of “squeaking, gibbering ey 8 appalled the stout heart of the royal oman, A SINGULAR SUICIDE, fa Le LATE A Youth Hangs Himself—A Sagacious Dog—A Very Sad Mystery. Yesterday morning the particulars of a very strange case of suicide were brouglit to the atten- tion of Coroner Young. Louis Bossler, @ youth of eighteen years, was manufacturer of ladies’ boots | and shoes and worked for his father, who lives aud does business at 503 East Eleventh street. Louis was a young man of temperate and industrious habits, good disposition and seemed to enjoy life to a much greater extent than most boys of his years, On Saturday night Louis partook of a giass or two of beer in @ saloon near home, and return- ing at a scasonable hour retired to ‘his Toom, on the first hoor, with his younger brother, as was his custom, Nothing unusual was discovered in the house till three o'clock the following morning, when. the brother of Louis was aroused by the moaning of the dog in his room, and turning over in bed to learn the cause missed bis brother, Jumping out of bed and striking @ light, the lad was terribly shocked on seeing his elder brother hanging by the neck against the wall.

Before committing the deed deceased removed his coat, vest and overshirt and tied ahandkerchiel over his head. The testimony taken before Coroner Young showed that the dog was unusually sagacious, inasmuch as, failing to arouse young Bossier by repeatedly moaning and barking, he pompen onthe bed, scratched him in the face and pulled off the clothes, The Coroner's sory thought deceased must have been temporari! insane, amd therefore returned a verdict ‘accord. ingly. Deceased was a native of Switzerland.
