TELEGRAMS TO THE HEW YORK HERALD, The following special despatch to the Henatp has been received from our corre- ‘epondent in Madrid, by way of London:— Lonvon, August 13, 1873, The Henaxp correspondent in Madrid tele- graphs the following special news report: — SPANISH SAILORS UNDER ARREST BY THE PRUS- SIANS. A further point of international complica- tion has arisen from the interferonce of the Prussian war frigate Frederick Charles in Spanish affairs, Tho difficulty presents thus: — Eight hundred Spanish sailors were de- spatched by the Madrid government from Alicante to Escombrato, with orders to take possession of the national iron-clads Vittoria and Salamanca, which had been seized by tho insurgents, and were, subsequently, arrested by the Prussians. ‘The Spanish officers were refused possession of the ships by Captain Werner, of the Impe- rial German Navy, commanding the Frederick Charles, on the ground that he had not re- ceived authority to deliver them from the Min- istry in Berlin. The Spanish sailors were, consequently, obliged to remain in a position whero they were at once menaced by and placed at the mercy of the insurgents. Thereupon the Prussian Captain (Werner) declared the large body of Spanish sailors who were engaged in the duty of naval reclamation, as well as tho steamers which had brought them to his post of command, to be “under his protection and that of the government of the Emperor of Germany.” RADICALIST PROTEST AGAINST THE NAVAL ROLE. . The Intransigentes declare that the Spanish Government transport steamers must leave Escombrato; or, in caso of refusal, they will open fire on them without regard to the Prussians.

HORRIBLE CRUELTY, A Girl Shut Up in a Room tor Seven Months and Almost Starved to Death, PHILADELPHIA, August 13, 1873, One of the most revolting cases of inhumanity that has thus far disgraced the police records of this city was brought to light this afternoon, At four o’clock @ married lady named Margaret Sailor ap- peared before Recorder Beitier and requested that @ warrant be issued for the arrest of her stepmother, Mrs. Josphine Rowiand, and @ stepsister named Saran Jean Baptiste, of Dickinson street, noar Seventh street, for long and persistent cruelty to her sister, Miss Mary Rowland. She stated in her complaint that these two persons had forcibiy detained Miss Baptiste in an attic room of their dwelling house since last Christmas, and had not allowed her liberty tor @ moment since that date; furthermore, that they had rendered her sister's forced imprisonment the more horrible by a studied system of starvation, and that she was led to effect her escape but yesterday evening. The case was immediately afterwards given into the hands of Captain Hines, chiet of the detectives, who detailed an officer to investigate the affair, and his report fully condrmed the statement of Mrs. Sailor. He found the room in which Miss Rowland had been confined so many weary months to be peers, covered with vermin and the stench le In that he was forced to retire to get fresh air. a@ corner of this chamber of starvation he discovered a whitewash bucket partly empty, aud irom patches of white- wash here and there on the walls he inferred that the momsters had been en teavoring to conceal ail traces of the presence o1 their ca; tive, but too late. Mrs. Rowland and Miss Baptiste were arrested on the spot, and are now occupyin a cell ‘at Police Headquarters, pending an exami- nation. Dr. Predick, who examined the unfortunate young !ady, gives it as his opinion that she will not survive but a few days longer, as her frame has been reduced to that of amere skeleton, Miss Rowland escaped by forcing the window of her room and descending to the ground over the roots of adjoining houses. The case excites the utmost ‘adjengtign in this city. INDIAN SLAUGHTER. Great Battle in the Republi- ean Valley. Bloody Fight Between the Pawnees and Sioux. Sky Chief, Squaw and Papoose Among the Slaughtered. Pawnees’ Loss in Dead and Wounded Over 100. HORRIBLE BARBARITY OF THE SIOUX. GRAND ISLAND, Neb., August 8, 1873. Some two or three weeks ago the Pawnees, num- bering some three hundred strong, with squaws and papooses and six hundred ponies, started from their reservation for their annual hunt in the great Republican Valley. After reaching the hunting grounds and while pursuing their wild yet peace- ful avocation, they were suddenly surprised and attacked by some fifteen hundred Siouxs under the command of Young Spotted Tail, The fight oc- curred between the Republican River and Black Wood Creek, It was a long and stubborn fight, but the Pawnees were forced to retreat before a superior number. When the Pawnees were informed that there was a strong force of the Sioux in thelr front they im- mediately hurried their squaws and papooses to a deep canyon, or ravine, for safety, and then struck out on the prairie in the presence of their deadliest foe, to oppose their advance and protect the sheltered ones by taking the chances of a battle. The Sioux were spledidly armed and equipped. The Pawnees were not, having but few rifes with them, as it is their custom to use the bow and arrow with their revoly- ers, because easier handled on the hunt, when in close contact with the buffalo. The Pawnee warriors soon learned that they were not equal in the fight, The odds being desperate, and being no match for the Sioux with their fine Henry rifles and superior carbines, they were forced back, and that so rapidly that they could not save their squaws and papooses, for the foe had suc- cecded in getting between them and the Pawnces, who, with desperate valor, disputed inch by inch the ground on which they fought. The Sioux, like BLOODY TIGERS, THIRS?Y AND FEROCIOUS, sprang upon the defenceless ones in the canyon and butchered them without mercy, for the stern resistance of the few brave Pawnees had aroused their revengeful ire and called into action all the bloody instincts and barbarity of their natures, braining and scalping the squaws, and plunging their long Knives into the bodies of the papooses and hurling them into the flames of the burning camp fires. Sky Chief, one of the most brave and daring of the Pawnee tribe, with his squaw and papoose, fell a victim to the Sioux’s onslaught and thirst for blood. By nature he was endowed with qualities that made him great among his people; a natural orator, whose voice was ever heard in the interest of his tribe at the council fire, as many a govern- ment official can attest, and he was a frm friend of the white man. The Sioux iollowed the Pawnees on their re- treat with arunning fight for twenty-five miles, lasting some ten hours, All this occurred within 120 miles o1 the city ot Grand Island. ‘The surviving Pawnees, with their wounded, passed East through this city on freight train No. 8, en route for their reservation, with grie!, notwith- standing their stoical indifference, written on every lineament 01 their faces. A number of the Sioux were made to bite the dust, though even an a roximation to the amount will probably never own. THE PAWNEFS bad been very successiul in their hunt, and were just contemplating turning their faces homeward, having aiready killed more than five hundred buf- faioes, ‘This 13 a terrible and crushing blow to the tribe, {rom which they never can recover, for their loss was over one hundred in killed and wounded, besides half of their ponies falling into the hauds of the enemy, It was the most DESPERATE AND BLOODY FIGHT that has occurred between the tribes on the fron- tier in years, This loss of warriors makes a large ‘ap in the tribe, But ley the Bloux beware of even fie remnant left, for wh in heart a and properly, Pawnee warriors would pu rout. It is well known fact in this country the last three months the Pawnees have been | seeking friendly negotiations with the Siouxs, | but the latter, for reasons better known, rhaps, to their chiefs, kept out of heir way or would not meet them, It ts) thought, and very justly, too, by many on the fron. tier that this surprise in the Republican Valley was | all premeditate cupupgof THE TREACHEROUS SPOTTED TAIL, who was absent and not with his tribe on the big hunt, his son being in command; and then the new arms and ammunition, recently or at the last coun- cil, Which was demanded of and compiied with by the government, tended toward the fatal results which has p-oved go disastrous to the Pawnees.

These annual hunts are lage by the different tribes for the purpose ot obtaining skins and meat for apparel and subsistence, whereby they obtain the buffalo beef, which the &quaws dry by the tires while the warriors hunt, and which forms a@ large share of their living during the Winter months. en they recover and are armed one hundred a thousand Siouxs to that for The government ofMfciary are not ignorant of the | Siouxs’ deadly enmity and hate against the Pawnee tribe, and cherished with a ferocity and bitterness aud prearranged by the craity | | very fast, Ehd Whe about turee more intense from the relations they for- merly sustained toward the government when em- pers to protect the froptier and The Plains ‘om the encroachments of the Sioux tribe; for many ofthe Pawnees were United States soldiers. githongt treaties have been effected with the Uix Nation, through her great chiefs, Red Cloud, Spotted Tatil and others, yet they would not hesi- tate—as in the opinion of the settlers—il they but dared, to SPRING UPON THE SETTLEMENTS with the same ferocity they attacked the Pawnees, with all their pretended friendship for the whites, An Old troutiersmau was in town yesterday, and, dilating on the bloody massacre, gave expression to the foliowing :-"‘We of the frontier, somewhat differ- ent from those Eastern pampered philanthropists, would not trust them any sooner than we would the poisonous rattlesnake we meet on our path, notwithstanding all their protestations of triend- ship to the government and the wmte man, but would kill rather than give them the chance to scalp.’ Tho early settlers on our border have but little love for the Siouxs, but regard them as treacherous and ferocious, tor many of them have suffered in former times from their cruelty and barbarity.

Second Day’s Cruise of the New York Yacht Club. SCATTERED BEFORE THE WIND. A Fresh Breeze Making It Lively for All Hands. A HAVEN OF REFUCE. An Exciting Contest Between the Alarm, Palmer and Tarolinta. WAITING FOR THE STRAGGLERS. New Lonpon, August 13, 1873, The New York Yacht Club can have no reason to complain of want of wind on this cruise, as they have had a month’s allowance served up with lb- erality during the past two days. It has all come trom the same quarter, right in their teeth, and meted out with a view to serving all alike. It is now 80 long since the feet have experienced a good breeze that the extra blow has had a most beneficial effect, giving tne hands a little practice in hoisting topmasts and reefing, and also freshen- ing up the memories of the captains by calling into practice their services as pilots to some haven of refuge. It is hard to say where all the feet are stowed away, as on yesterday morning THE SQUADRON COMPRISED the Alarm, Kear Commodore A. C. Kingsland; Tarolinta, Messrs. Kent; Rambler, W. H. Tuomas ; Columbia, Lester Watlack; Tidal Wave, William Voorhees; Foam, Sheppard Homans; Idler, 8 Y. Colgate; Eva, E. Burd Grubb; Cio, Asten & Brad- burst; Vision, Messrs, Alexander; Gracie, F. R. Wailer; West Wind, W, Iselin; Ariadne, T. A. Strange; Vindex, R. Centre. The above fleet started for New London with the wind dead in their teeth, and for some time hung well to- gether. In the afternoon, however, it eased up, and they scattered before the wind. The Alarm, Columbia, Tarolinta, Tidal Wave, Palmer, Foaw, Clio, Vindex and Vision making Morris Cove for the night. The Idler, Vindex and Rambler were last seen about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, hugging the Long Island shore, and the Eva, with a party of ladies on rd, scudding before the wind in the direction of Bridgeport. The sloops West Wind, Gracie and Ariadne, it was supposed, had anchored some- whcre off Eaton's Neck. THE LITILE FLEET IN MORRIS COVE had reason to be satisfied they were in such quar: ters, as between the hours of six and eight P. M. it blew very stiff while they were riding at anchor and enjoyinga comfortable dinner. This morning, at daylight, it was still blowing fresh, but the wind appeared to have canted @ little more to the northward. About half-past four A. M. the Tarolinta and Foam made sail, and, run- ning out of the harbor, trimmed down sheets fora beat to New London. The wind was about cast- northeast, and the tide ranning ebb made a pretty nasty sea. The Foam evidently found it more than she cared to tackle, as, after making a {ew stretches, she lifted sheet and returned to New Haven at six A.M, sharp. The Alarm signalled the fleet to get under way for New London, and, followed by the Palmer and Columbia, stood in past the lighthouse, The Columbia, however, did not go very far, as, on finding the state of the weather outside, she turned round and went back to New Haven, THE FLEEL BOUND TO NEW LONDON now comprises the scliooners Alarm, Palmer and ‘Tarolinta. The latter had over an hour’s start, and by the time the Alarm and Palmer had got down to their work had tacked under the Long Island shore. ‘The Paimer, under singie reefed mainsail, lug foresail, forestaysail and jib, stood off on the port tack towards Long Island. The Alarm nad a double reef in her mainsail, full foresail, forestay- sail and jib, and appeared to carry her canvass very comfortably, Aiter making a cuuple of tacks the Aiarm and Palmer gained considerably on the Tarvlinta, The breeze kept gain- ing strength every minute, and shortly alter nine A. M. the Palmer lowered her toresail and took the bonnet of, The Alarm then put a reed in ber oresaii,and the pair got down to work on even terms, The Palmer did remarkably well as a practical advocate of the centrehoard principle, gee o tolerably good weather aud tying alead fast. It was A GOOD TRIAL OF CENTREDOARD KEEL, and for over two hours the yachts hung close together. About noon both the Palmer and Aiarm separated. The Tarolinta and the Sagatip made a good stretch along the Long island shore that would in all probability have enabled them to weather the Palmer if her rigging and canvass had stood the racket. The jib sheet opened the ball by slipping from the clect, and in a few minutes alter they had iufied her up and made the sheet fast, the leach of the foresail parted, Some time was lost putting on @ stop, and the sail had hardly been stitched again beiore the leach parted in a fresh place. The last break-lown placed the fore- sail hors de combat, and left the Alarm under double reefed mainsail, forestaysail and jib. The Palmer now went raplaly ahead, apd the contest between her and the Alarm was virtuatly over, ‘The Tarolinta headed into Gardiner’s Bay about three o'clock P. M., looking as if she meant to visit Greenport, Sag Harbor or gome over conrenieas locality. Eo veccr apteey ae eties oil TUE PALMER CEPT THR ALARM = miles lowered her foresail and continued under reefed mainsail, forestaysail and jib. Both yachts once ore met ou the same terms and kept about éven together, e gaining an occasional advantage as the wind favored them, At one time the Alarm looked as if she was going to cross the Palmer’s wake within hailing distance. Now losing the favorable putl she dropped to her original position, The Palmer arrived and anchored off the hetel at five P. M., followed ten minutes later by the Alarm. The harbor appeared quite gay with a number of yachts laying at anchor, The echooners Rambler ud Idler and the sloop Vindex were in harbor, ‘They arrived early this morning, alter “bucking” against the northeaster, all rignt. The Idler was in the hands of the sailmaker to-day, repairing the clew of her jib, which parted during the night. ‘the schooners Madelelue, Madgie, Resolute and Dreadnaught arrived yesterday, in order to join the cruise. The echooner yachts oes and Vision, of the Eastern: Yacht Club; Tempest, of the Boston Ciub, and the schooner yacht Alice, of the Brooklyn Yacht Club, are in the harbor, and have received an invitation to join the New York Yacht Club cruise. The Dreadnaught started this morning, bound to the eastward, in- tending to go to Providence to get on the ways, but she shipped @ sea forward, washing her decks pretty tuoroughly and inducing her captain to re- turn to New London. The fleet wiil probabl, leave to-morrow for New- port about noon, weather pormeng bres A will not start unless the Columbia, Tidal Wave, ¥o: Eva, Clio, Tarolinta, Westward, ariadno, Gracie, Vision and other straggiers have arrived. The flect, owing to the rough weather, will probably not arrive at Martha’s Vineyard betore Monday. The New York Yacht Club fleet now on the cruise muster fifteen schooners and six sloops. REGATTA OF THE SOUTH BOSTON YACET CLUB Boston, August 13, 1873. ‘The third regular regatta of the season of the South Boston Yacht Club for prizes offered by the club took place this afternoon from City Point, ‘There was a fine sailing breeze from tne northeast. Tre first class boats got a@ beautiful start. The sloop Kelpie was the winner. The sloop Ripple won the second class prize and the sloop ud the third. ESCAFED FRENOH OONVIOTS FROM AFRIOA, Bartmons, Md., August 13, 1873, Three escaped Algerian convicts from the French penal colony of Cayenne, on the north const of south America, whither they had been sentenced for ten years—one for robbery, one for murder and one for assaulting @ French officer—have arrived at this port, They claim to have oscaped in company with 150 fellow convicts, and, after terrible suiter- ings in swamps and jungles, reacted Demerara.

Long Branch Residents Treated to a Grand Spectacle. Great Havoc on the New Jersey Railroad. DAMAGE ELSEWHERE. Accidents Along the Baltimore and Penn- sylvania Railroads, Lona Brancoy, Angust 13, 1873. A strong northeasterly gale has been blowing all day, and still continues. The seats running very high, presenting a grand appearance, the breakers foaming and tossing a quarter of a mile from the beach, the waves reaching the bathing houses and beating halt way up the blut, A very heavy sea is anticipated about midnight, when the tide will be at full. Passengers who left New York on the 9:40 boat, due here at half-past eleven o'clock, did not arrive until half-past two. The steamers made good passages, but the heavy sea has under- mined the railroad track in spote for @ space of 200 yards about one mile above Scabright, A gang of laborers were despatched promptly to make the track safe by filing in beneath with old ties, &c. When the tide receded the repairs were continued and the road is now in good order, aud precautions have been taken against further damage to-night. The tide is setting in strongly from the north, bringing down large quantities of sand, The general Opinion is that this will improve the bottom tor bathing off the Branch when the storm passes away, At seven o'clock it 18 still raining heavily and no sign of abatement of the wind, Sasschgers who left New York at four o'clock arrived in good time, being only a quarter of an hour late. The Plymouth Rock made an excellent passage, although the bay was very rough, Two ciosely packed ouinivus loads of drenched and despondeut Christians came in to-night from Ocean Grove. They report that the storm carried destruction among the tents, wrecking some and rendering others uninhabitable. ‘The faithful army Was compelled to find sheiter in the cotiages and more substantia! bulidings and were huddled to- gether in an inconvenient manner. Every person who had space to offer to those who dwelt in ents generously threw open their doors to the brethren in the faith. The Tabernacle was damaged and had to be taken down to save it trom total wreck. For a wiile the rain and the storm proved more power- ful than the religious: revival; but the spirit of the great congregation is not dampened, and with the cessation of ihe prevailing tempest the good work will be resumed wita renewed energy and earnestness. For the present, however, bodily comlort and safety must be provided, and'to these Wet canvas and fooded foors do not conduce, Lona BRANcH, August 13-19 P. M, The storm is increasing. It is now blowing a terrific gale. It is thought that the surf will rise and carry off the remaining bathing houses befure midnight. The New Jerscy Southern Mailroad track at Seabright is again indanger, Much dam- age is expected along the shore. The passengers for the eleven o'clock train to New York have returned to this place, and report that the track has been washed away between here and Sandy Hook. The storm ts the heaviest that has been seen here for twenty years, The Ravages of the Rain, The extent of the damage done to property by the heavy wind and rain yesterday cannot yot be fully determined. Judging from some reports al- ready received, it must have worked come de- struction in its track, The tide rose to an un- precedented height all along the Hudson, and the sudden headiong rush of waters from the various hills, especially in New Jersey, swept away many fences and small eathouses, Some of the trains were delayed in consequence of portions of the road being washed away by torrents. ON THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD, The trains on the Camden branch of the Penn- sylvania Ratiroad were delayed yesterday at Cam- den in consequence of a large freshet at Cooper's Creek, occasioned by rains. The bridge wt the creck is reported to have been washed away, A land slide at Newark, Del., also caused consider- able inconvenience. No trains arrived at Trenton from Camden yesterday aiter forty-five minutes past nine o'clock in the forenoon, nor did any go thither from Trenton. The Deluge in Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA, August 13, 1873, The rain storm that commenced at seven o'clock last evening continues and has caused great damage to property in this city and vicinity. Many cellars are flooded in the Nineteenth ward and the water has risen so high in Berks, Hancock, Jefferson and Vienna streets that people have been compelled to wade almost kneo déep ip some places to gain either side of the strect, Tue food 18 60 great that the cells of the Tenth district station Louse, corner Front and Master streets, are inundated aud the prisoners have to be removed to safer and drier quarters, A mill owned by Thomas Dolan, in Oxiord street, was overflowed aud damaged to the extent of $10,000 by the breaking of a culvert, and several residences in the vicinity suivfered seriously irom the saime cause. Tbe Long Branch Railroad has been damaged considerably, as the tracks have been washed away in several places, and, as the rain continues to fall, the breaks cannot be repaired. The train that left Camden at hali-past seven this momung for Long Branch was wrecked a few mules from the former city half an hour alter stapting, ‘hs track had been washed away last tight and was egyered with water tO & Geptn of cight or ten Incheg, Th® Engincer slowed up, fearing an acci- deht, but not in time to avotd disaster, as both the tocomnotive and baggage car were thrown from the tegk at the break and were badly damaged.

New York were compeiled to walk far out of their way to get to the station. Along the Schylkill River front the storm has created havoc, especially among the poorer classes, who have been compelled to vacate their premises rather than be drowned, At Third and George streets the water rose up to the floors of the passenger cars; Trenton avenue, as far as the eye can reach, presents one vast sur- face of water, and business on that thoroughtare has almost been stagnated. The Philade!piia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad has been con- siderably damaged between this city and Wilming- ton by the breaking of culverts, At Kirkwood, on the Delaware Division, the culvert was washed out to such an extent that the track was impassable for three or jour hours and several through trains were delayed. No lives have been reported as lost up to this writing; but, as the rain is still pouring down, it is expecte that serious results will arise to-night, The dam- “age caused by the storm in this city alone is estl- mated at beyond one hundred thousand dollars, Along the Pennsylvania Railroad. PHILADELPHIA, August 13, 1973, The storm last night was severe at Cape May and Atlantic City, but no damage was done, The track of the Baltimore Railroad was washed out near Rock Run, and the country is overflowed. The track was repaired by a railroad gang. The Penn- syivania Railroad track, near Palmyra, N. J., was washed away, and the trains were delayed; buta large force of workmen repaired the track by noon. ‘At Newark, Del., the creek had overflowed and washed out the Baltimore Railroad track near the culvert for sixty yards, Passengers from Balti- more by the night train were transferred at the Gap. The repairs were completed by noon and trains are passing over a8 usual, t Lancaster, Pa., the city water works were con- siderably damaged. The coffer dams were carried away and several small bridges were washed off, No damage was done by the storm at Bethieher, Mauch Chunk, Westchester or Pottsvilic, though the rivers are all high, Along the Baltimore Railroad.

A most shameful hoax was perpetrated last evening by some persons, who could not be traced, to the eifect that one of the Long Branch steamers had sunk during a severe gale in the Lower Bay, on her way to Sandy Hook pier, aud that 40@ lives had been lost. A few minutes later the rumor was varied by the assertion that, the vessel lost was the large and Magnificent steamer Plymouth Rock, and that forty lives were lost. The reports spread Ike wildfire, and were current by seven o'clock at all the hotels, in the clab rooms and other places of public resort, and the most intense anxiety prevailed to learn the truth of the matter. The newspaper offices, tele~ graph stations and the offices of the New Jersey Southern Railroad Company were toca} potnts for the Assemblage of anxious mquirers, @ large proportion: of whom were persons who haa relatives or trienda on the steamers Plymouth Rock and Jesse Hoyt, both of which vessels ply on the Long Branch route. Many, too, who expected friends to returm by last evening’s boat experienced the MOST INTENSE ALARM, and the report was exaggerated and gathered strength as it cireulated, A little later it was ascertained that a portion of the railroad track at Seabright, between Port Monmouth and Long Branch, had been washed away by the heavy sea breaking from the oceap over the low, sandy peninsula of Sandy Hook point, and that there was, as a consequence, 20 noon train from “the Branch,” This, however, had occurred in the morning during the prevalence of the strong northeasterly gale which was blowing off “the Hook” and in the Lower Bay during nearly the whole day, The Viymouth Rock was due at her pier, foot of Murray street, on her return trip from the branch, at about eight or half-past eight o'clock, and quite & large number of persons repaired to the vessel's dock to learn whether any ACCIDENT HAD BEFALLEN MER or the Jesse Hoyt. ‘The latser vessel usnally makes the five o’clock down trip, and remains af Sandy Hovk over night, so as to brin; UP the early passengers by the frst morning train to the city. t was deemed possible, of course, that this steamer had been lost on her trip, andthe arrival of the Plymouth Rock was awaited with the mosé anxious impatience, as the guarantee, first, of her own safety, and, next, to learn whether “the Hoyt’? had reached the Hook when ‘the Rock” left. Meantime telegraphic inquiries were made at the stations on Staten Island, at Fort Hamilton and at Sandy Hook, and tie replics in every in- stance were to the effect that no accident was known to have occurred to any steamer whatever during the day, When nine o’cloek came at the pier and the PI; mouth Rock had not yet arrived there was a se: ous look apparent op the faces of the people awal ine intelligence,-but all the employés of the co pany POOU-POOHED THE IDEA as absurd, arguing, first, that, though the weather had been severe, with a stiif gale and a heavy sea, the prebability of accident from stress of wind or water to such vessels as the two steamers name& was ridiculous, Some of these employés had, for var‘ous terms, been engaged on the Vessels, and were loud in their assertions of confidence of their ability to withstand any amount of such weather as prevailed yesterday. At last, about half-past nine o'clock, the lights and colossal outline of the Plymouth Rock were dis- cernible among the fects of vessels and swarms of lamps tiat gleamed and glided about the river, and in five minutes more she was alongside her Pier. It was found that she bad experienced almost a TRAD WIND ALL TOE WAY up, and that tle tide had aso been heavy against her, and this accounted for the delay of about ar hour tn her arrival. Captain West, her commander, had heard nothing of the ramor till he reached the dock, He Informed the HERALD reporter also, that he had ed the Jesse Hoyt about balf a mile from Sandy Mook pier, the lattcr vessel being on her way down. e Captain also stated that he did not think the weather had beeu severe enough to hurt . any decent vessel. Some of the passengers on the Plymouth Rock stated that they had heard that the steamer Sea- bird, running between New York and the High- lands of Navesink, had been lost. The reporter, on the strength of this, went to pier 35 North River and found the Seabird fast at her dock, where sho had then been lying five hours. So much for a wicked and utterly unfounded: rumor.
