FIRE ON BLOOK ISLAND. A Number of Bulldings Destroyed—Ship- ping Endangered. Newronrr, R. I., Sept. 16, 1873. A very disastrous fire occurred on Block Island this morning. The news reached tnis city by the mail boat Nathan F. Dixon. The buildings de- stroyed belonged to Nicholas Ball, and were occupied by A. D, Mitchell & Co. as a country store. Un this account the stock consisted of every con- celvable article, and was valued at $5,000, upon which there is no insurance. The buildings, in- cluding the Post Office, were totally destroyed. The latter are insurea. There being no fire ap- paratus on the island the flames had full control, aud it being so near the harbor it was found necessary to cause the fishing boats to be removed, as the heavens literaily rained burning embers, which fell thick and fast upon them, The N. F. Dixon—whicn craft was the cause of a good deal of uneasiness during the lave gale, she being antes lost—was on fire several times, and it was with the test exertions that she was saved. Two safes in the hpceery were removed; but, up to the hour of the boat’s leaving, they had not been opened on account of the heat. The town clocks, books and all the ofctal ducuments of the RS together with those belonging to the Post Office, were kept in these safes; and it is hoped they will be found uninjured.

Ten circus men died with fever at Vernon, La.. on Wednesday. TT. ere is no trace of the iever here yet. though fears are entertained that it will reach here. No Decrease in the Death Rate in Memphis. Mempuis, Sept, 16, 1873, There is no abatement in the yellow fever, though its ravages are almost exclusively confined to the northwestern portion of the city adjacent to the mouth of the Wolf River, where it first appeared. It is impossi- ble to obtain reliable data in regard to mortality, but it is evident there is no decrease in the death rate. The city authorities to-day took the first step toward meeting the exi- gencies of the occasion. The whole stree force is being put to work distribut- coal tar and burning it in the infested quarter. The white citizens met and or- ganized a Howard Association. The association will open an office to-morrow and be prepared to furnish nurses relief to all who apply. The physicians are advising all that can to leave the city, and the trains in all dirsctions are crowded. The wildest reports are circulated through the country in regard to the number of the dying; but 16 is safe to say that since the disease appeared the number of deaths, jrom all causes, has not reached twenty on any day, and since the flight of the horror-stricken ones there 18 jess excitement than during the prevalence of the cholera. . AID FOR THE SHREVEPORT SICK. Inttiation of a Fund for the Relief of the Victims of Yellow Fever in Louisiana, The reports of the ravages of yellow fever in Shreveport, Louisiana, having reached the char- itable ears of some of our prominent citizens, a subscription has been started that, it is to be hoped, for the sake of humanity, will soon be swelled to gigantic proportions. ‘The terrible suf- fering experienced by the denizens of Shreveport, the misery that has existed since “Yellow Jack’? became a resident of the town and the panic which has ensued, driving hundreds from their homes, ought to be suficient Ww excite the sympathy of all those wealthy per- sons who have the welfare of their fellowmen at heart. The arcounts from Shreveport have been truly appalling. fhe irightiul disease has swept like a blighting hurricane across the fair State of Louisiana, and scarcely & homestead remains un- scathed. Whole families have died in the course of @ few hours, and the destitution which the scourge has leit in its wake is piliabie in the extreme. The authorities o! the city o! fortunate places to sustain them and help the people in their bitter need. We can rest assured that this appeal for aid will not be unnoticed. Gothamites are proverbially liberal and charitable, and we cannot but expect that the thousands of well-to-do persons who have returned from the salue brious watering places and fasnionabdie highiands, invigorated and strengthened by their summer re- creation, will contribute liberally to the funa being raised for the relief of the sufferers at Shreveport. Subscriptions to the tund have aiready been re- ceived to the amount of $290 and further contripa- tions will be duly acknowle: by Mr. B. Jacobs, Shreveport, La., or at the office of the New YoRK HERALD. The General Superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company at Louisville sent the fotiowing despatch to President Orton yesterday afternoon :— Louisvinte, Ky., Sept. 16-2 o'clock.

The condition of ‘the town. is simply heartrending and the suffering is something tear- ful fy ‘contemplate. By a later despatch receiyed from Shreveport we learn that thirty-three deaths occurred in that city to-day, There are no /unds remaining in, the city treasury; no money to aford relief to the sick or burial for the dead. TMG ravages of the terrible disease are increasing, and New Orlvans is send- Ing on surgeons, draggists and nurses. ‘NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1873—QUADRUPLE SHEET, full extent of the terrible trouble existing in Louls- ana will become apparent to our readers, and we hope they will respond with eagerness to the for aid that rings out from an already decima' community, Yellow Fever in New York. Thomas Wilde, 22 years, a resident of Washing- ton, was taken from the steamer Ocean Queen last evening, while suffering from fever. He was conveyed to the Park Hospital by the police of the ‘twenty-sixth precinct. AMUSEMENTS. of Music. Alarge and apprectative audience gathered at the Academy of Music last night to witness the début in “Othello” of Signor Salvini, the great Italian tragedian. The announcement of the coluing to this country of this great actor created considerable interest in literary and art circles, but as the assurance that he was really great seemed to be confirmed, something like the same interest was excited among the people. it is a singular comment upon the Ameri- can love for pure art and its appreciation by all Classes that the upper part of the house was as crowded last night as any part of the auditorium. And it is even more complimentary to the Ameri- can character that the most spontaneous applause of Salvini’s greatest points came from that part of the building, The necessity of playing one of Shak Speare’s masterpieces in a foreign tongue, so that the American people might see the gentus of its Italian interpreter, militated seriously against the rendition as weil as the apprectation of the play— the want of Shakspeare’s English lines which have always served as an electric spark to bring the two sides of the footlights into harmony was severely felt both by the actor and the audience. But, after all, great acting may touch the heart without the lines, and last night the varying moods of Othello’s pas- sion Were intelligible, though the words in which these were conveyed were unmeaning gibberish to a large part of the audience, Itisin the gesture, the position of the body, the expression of emo- tion in the face that passion finds its chiet delinea- uon. These things were all that Signor Salvint could depend upon for success, for the old iash- joned declamation of the earlier English school could avail him nothing. The long speeches of Othello were a positive injury to him, and the play in its Italian dress would be unendurable but for the acting, that makes it easy to forget that Othellu made speeches as welt as love, But in the first and second acts, where there 1s little oppor- tunity or anything beyond speechmaking, Salvini showed that he could read the lines, though in another tongue, in a way to arrest and hold the attention of an audience, which saw in his declamation and elocution the prom- ise of better things. It was not till the third act that he showed the wealth of his tragic art, and from that time till the end of the performance he exhibited great power. Be- sides the fact that he was confined to the limita- tions of a language strange to his audience, the only thing to be regretted was the essential weak- ness of his support. The Iago of Alessandro Sal- vini was especially weak—so far, indeed, was it from belag any true conception of the craity Tago, that if an American actor were to play it im the same way he wonld be Jaughed from the stage. The part is in many hands much stronger than even thatof the Moor, but there is no comparison between the Othello of the one Salvini and the Iago of the other, Of the other parts, except the Desdemona of Signora Piamonte, itis unnecessary to speak. This lady is @ tragic actress of reputation in her own country, but she is not fully up to the standard of the Desdemona we _ have been accustomed to see and are trained to expect in any one who undertakes the part. We shall presently have occasion to speak of her acting in more flattering terms, so far asa few points are concerned; but we cannot accept her as acomplete embodiment of the part. She lacks the ease and grace which are essential to the heroine, and this want is all the more important because they are in such remarkable contrast to these qualities in Salvini. We have only one astor in New York to-day who is Salvini's rival in this respect, for our readers are aware how singularly graceful are the movements of Mr. Fechvter on the 81 - In mobility of feature he is rivalled only by Mr. Jefferson and by Mr. Fox. In the complete embodiment of ideal—the power that stamps upon a _ character the mark of individuality and creation—he stands beside Mr. Lester Wallack. Kut com- parison, We are olten told, is not criticism, and we have cited these names not jor the purpose of comparison, but as jamillar illustradons of what in @ general way are Salvini’s excellences, We have no intention to compare him with any of our own Othellos, but mean to treat him as an artist who embodies his own ideal of the part, especially as he developed that ideal in the three conciuding acts of the play. From what we have sald it will readily be con- cluded that the audience listened almost in silence to the first two acts, with ihe exception that when Signor Salvini first came upon the stage he was greeted with a quantity and quality of applause such a8 are seldon heard. His tall and ma- jestic figure, his sonorous voice, ms pic: turesque and admirable pose, all preposessed the audience in his lavor, while the solidity and briiliancy of his reputation caused his first accents to be listened to with that sort of anticipation that is akin to veneration. The first point at which he succeeded in making @ deep impression was in his address to the Council, wherein he narrates by what arts and conjurations he won Desdemona’s love. Here his passion for the picturesque found tull room for working. Every sentence was a pic- ture; the speech in its, entirety was a brilliant rhetorical panorama. Then followed the farewell of Brabantio, with the whispered caution breathed into Othello’s ear, It was at this passage that the remarkable facial eloquence of Salvini came into play, the quick and questioning expres- sion which crossed his features bvetokening the germ of the doubt subsequently fanned so artiully by Iago. Tne second act passed witli no occasion for particular remark. In it occur the reappear- ance of Othello at the moment when Cassio’s in- discretion is at its height, and the rebuke which so many actors have made memorable by their prompt delivery. For the third act was reserved the opportunity for the genius of the actor to make itself felt with something of its full force, It 1s here that lago begins his work; itis here he gives utterance to his first lignt insin- uation, proceeding stealthily step by step, fecing his way, and gradually working his victum up to the last point of endurance. Perhaps the most emphatic generality which can be written of Sal- vini’s interpretation of his share of this act 1s that it is quite unlike that of anybody else. It is altogether unique and original. He taxes a differ- ent View of the situation to any other actor with whom America is acquainted. The characteristic that is chiefly remarkable in it 1s the extreme slow- ness with which the suspicion of Othello is awakened, and with which, aiter being awakened, it is strengthened. Itis here that the Othello of Salvini proves the trath of the trait he ascribes to himself 1n his dying moments, ‘not easily jealous, but being wrought, perplexed in the ex- treme.” Almost any other tragedian whom we have seen precipitates suspicion and jealousy at this point. We are not now saying whieh is the ‘wruer conception. All that we undertake to do ut present is to maintain that Salvini’s is original; that it 1s consistent with the rest of the interpre- tation; thatithas a@ wrand strength and repose that are inexpressibly affecting, and that it makes tne contrast with Othello’s subsequent outbreak all the more violent and profound. The whoie of these prolonged scenes between Othello and he, were a series of the most vivid and highly colored pictures, the hues of which, varying be- tween ali the extremes of richness and tenderness, furnished the most valuable and enduring con- trasts; and when finally Othello, wrought to tne last point of rage, lays Iago prostrate and raises his foot a8 though to crush him, the tableaux ac- quired a demoniac picturesqueness, a lurid and “savage intensity, which we do not remember ever to have seen equalled, In @ hastily written notice like this it is of course impossible to do, justice to many little beauties and nice shades of interpretation. All that we can hope to do this morning is to express in a general way What Salvini seems to us to be and what effeet he produced. We have neither time nor space to follow out in detail the superb effects he pro- duced in the volt acts; to paint the scorn and contumely of the look he fixed on Emilia when flinging her the money at the end of the fourth act; or to describe the magnificent knowledge the actor showed in the fifth act of the means by which horror and remorse are expressed. We can only add now that the interpretation teems with evidence that Salvini has made of the character an organic whole. All his gestures, tones, attitudes and ge sticulations in the part bear the same relation to the leading idea which he has caused to underlie it which the leaves and biossoms of a tree vear to the roots and trunk. He has not given usa iew shifting phases of thought and feeling, but has caused thought and leeling harmoniously to co-work, and so to bulla up an independent. self-consistent, original role, We do not care to consider the point now whether he is more an emotional than an intelectual actor. It 18 enongh jor our admiration that his ge- nus 18 generic, not receptive, and that he justifies very much that has been said) in his raise. or his fanits it will be time to speax on another occasion, ‘The play was over at ten minutes to twelve, and ran with great smoothness.

Curcado, Sept. 16, 1873, Special despatches from Grand Haven, Mich., give the foliewing account of the foundering of the propeller Lronsides off that port yesterday. N. Watkins, the clerk o/ the boat, says:— We leit Milwaukee at forty mmutes past nine o'clock Sunday night, with nineteen passengers and acrew of thirty men, and were due in Grand Haven between five and six o’clock Monday morn- ing. The cargo consisted of 13,000 bushels of wheat, 600 barrels of four, 126 barrels of pork and some miscellaneous articies; This was a very large cargo, since the boat could only carry 1,100 tons. A moderate breeze was biowing ‘rom the southwest, which constantly increased until it became A TERRIFIC GALB before daylight. I did not get up before nine o’clock, when the boat was rolling fearfully. I im- mediately went below and found the men working atthe pumps. The water bad already put out the fires and the engines were useless. [ then went to the office and got the passengers’ register, the money and the manifests and went on the hurri- cane deck, where I found Captain Sweetman get- ting the foresail in, He was periectly self-pos- sessed, and the men obeyed his orders promptly. We then were about three miles from the shore, THE SIGNAL OF DISTRESS had been ratsed at half-past nine o'clock, About ten o'clock the passengers all put on life pre- servers, for it was evident the vessel must go aown, At twenty minutes past eleven the Captain ordered the boats to be manned. In the first boat all the lady passengers except one was placed. In the second boat there were irom ten to twelve passengers and the crew. 1 took charge of the third boat, which carned seven passengers, including one lady and two of the crew, besides myself, all of whom were saved, r 1 had pushed off 1 saw two or three other boats leave the wreck, in one of which I supposed the captain to be. My boat was hardly half a mile from the Ironsides when she sunk stern foremost, about five miles from shore, it was ten minutes past twelve when she disappeared. She was esti- mated to be worth about $115,000, She was thor- ougtily overhauled last winter and was considered One of the stanchest voats on the lake. THE STATEMENT OF A PASSENGER, Mr. N. F. Ripley, of Lowell, Mass., a very intellt- gent young man, who was one of the saved, gives the following additional particulars:—The sea was so rough a littie alter midnight that I could not sleep, though accustomed to the water. elore dayli ght the boat rolled so desperately that every movable thing was smashed about the ves- sel, and it was impossible to cross the cabin. It was between seven and eight o'clock when we came in sight of the harbor, and it was so rough B. that it seemed utterly unwise to attempt an entrance. We could see the ligit- houses and the vessels on the beach, and wondered that no one came to our reliei. It was a sad sight, ‘Ihe passengers stood in silence: with their lite preservers on, knowing that in a few moments they would be at the mercy of the breakers, but ALL WERE CALM AND SRLF-POSSESSED, Captain Sweetman behaved with the utmost coolness and courage, and the crew obeyed every order readily. We were all washed out o! the boat in which we lett the steamer when within thirty rods of the shore, but were rescued by those on the beach in the most gallant way. I was picked up unconscious, but am all right now. The Captain said it was the roughest sea he had ever seen on the lakes. ‘Those familiar with the shore say that the water where the Ironsides went down is at least forty fathoms deep. Additional Details of the Disaster. GRAND Haven, Mich., Sept. 16—Evening. The propeller Ironsides lett Milwaukee on Sun- day night on time, but owing to its being Sunday the list of passengers was not very large, there being but nineteen on the register. There were thirty-two seamen, and one not registered. ‘The steamer hove in sight of this port at seven o'clock A. M., but did not attempt to make port on account of the high sea and the number of vessels and barges which went on the beach in attempt- ing to make port. The steamer headed seaward again and at nine o'clock appeared to be about. nine miles out. She was seen te have fires in her engines until about ten o’clock, when no more smoke was to seen from her smokestacks, Her foresail was then raised, but she had been leaking considerably, and the water gained on the men at the Pumps so fast that, at eleven o'clock, it was evident she must go down. The passengers were ail supplied with life preservers, and stood ready, at a moment's. warn- Ing, to take to the boats. At twenty minutes past eleven o’ciock Captain Sweetinan, who was com- mander, ordered tne life boats to be wot in readi- ness and launched, The first boat contained all the ladies but one. ‘The seeond con- tained ten or twelve of the crew and wssengers. In the third was Mr, Wat- ins, the clerk of the beat, one lady named Miss W:rd, five passengers and two of the crew. There were two more boats seen to leave the steamer aiter the third had leit, The lastone did not ieave in time to get far enough from the sceamer belore she went down, and was drawn in the whiripool and swamped. ‘The steamer sunk at half-past twelve, going down stern first. The first which left the steamer, containing a majority of the ladies, was capsized, and oniy one of the passengers suvuceeded in reaching the shore. The second und third boats succeeded in reaching the srore, but only with the assistance of those on the shore, who, hearing of the terrible caiamity, rushed to the beach, wh h was lined with people for about two miles; but the fourth and fiita boats cou'd not be reached In time to offer any. possible succor. So high was the wind that the boats were driven ashore before brs arate could gettothem. As the boats approached the shore and all were over- turned in the: surt, strong men and expert swim. mers formed lines in the water, and in.this man- ner everybody, dead of alive, that was seen was recovered. So terrible was the sea that no assist- possibly be rendered to the doomed steamer and her living freight. ‘rhe propeller Lake Breeze, which was in port and owned by the same Fagen made an at- teinpt to go to the assistance of the boats, but was disabled in the attempt, and narrowly escaped going on the beach. She dropped her anchor and lay there until towed off in tue aiternoon. Ali the bodies recovered which were not cared for by friends who recognized them will be tenderly cared for and dressed for burial by committees ladies and gentlemen of our city, who voluntarily and willingly offered their services in. taking care of the bodies until they should be identified and cared for by friends.
