The steamer King Leopold, of Newcastle, has foundered at sea, and twenty persons, who were on board, were drowned. REGNIER AND BISMARCK. The French Go-Between at Metz and the Prince Chancellor of Germany in Cor- respondence. ‘The Neue Freie Presse of Vienna states that a porrespondence has. been opened between General Reguier and Prince Bismarck, and says:—The ‘well known mediator of Mete, who was recently sentenced to death by a French court martial, and ‘who is now residing in London, has been ex- changing letters with Prince Bismarck concerning his death sentence. To o letter dated Septem- ber 22, 1874, Bismarck replied that he thought | Begnier wrote a good veal too much. Somewhat doubtful on the subject, Regnier again wrote, waying:— “priace, @ French court has condemned me to @eath as aGerman spy. If any one in the world @an testify to my innocence it is His Excellency, Count Bismarck. He had no dealings with spies. ‘One word from his pen, even if 1t did not prevent my having to seek a home abroad, would at least have destroyed the impression which gave occa- sion for such a decision. It is a natural feeling ‘that If the political does not enter into the ques- tion he cannot tail to see that! was guilty of no wrong; 1 he knew that it was manifestly nis duty to say 80, and thussave me.” At the end of the let- ‘ter Regnier inserted a kind of saving clause, to the | effect that be had never been accused openly of treachery, and that Bismarck knew beéter than a@my one else that he (Regnier) had only acted in the interests of France from beginurag to end. Bismarck replied to this letter under the date of Varzin, October 2, 1874, saying that he (Regnier) having calicc bis attention to the sentence | of the court martial, he felt bound to say he believed that any testimony he ikight have tendered would have had but little weigitt, as the gettied belief of so many of his compatriots in France was that he was an open enemy to Fra: in this respect treating bim unjastiy, which fa alone might fave induced him to silence, however much he might have felt jor him (Reguaier) per- | sonally. Nevertheless, he would say that he nad never known Regnier to act otherwise than for the best interests of France, and that the German authorities had so recognized him. | He knew everything that Hegner did in connection with the army at Metz was intended | for, and succeeded in bringing about a fortunate Suspension o/ hostilities in that quarter, and he always had iound him faithful during the negotia- dons. These negotiations being so conducted Dbastened the result—viz., producing a treaty of peace in the name of the French government. In Conclusion, Bismarck says, “1 can assert upon my honor that you showed no partiality to us, and | that [ believed while you were going to and from M ges exhibited @ wise patriotism and evinced a useiul knowledge of the means necessary to @ecure peace.” AMERIGAN HEALTH ASSOCIATION, Third Public Meetin: Philadciphia— | Consideration of Sanitary Questions, PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10, 1874, The American Public Health Association com- Menced its third public meeting in the hall at the College of Physicians at noon to-day, Dr. Stephen Smita, Health Commissioner of New York, pre- siding.

The Prest- dent good-naturedly alluded to the recent demo- cratic tidal wave which had swept west and east of Indiana, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans alone arresting its progress. ‘But,’ said the President, “we shall be ready for you in 1876.” Secretary Fish philosophically said the next Presidential election was no further off than the last, implying that the power of recuperation was still left to the republican party. Governor Hendricks dcelined to be interviewed. His opinion of the cause of the overwhelming suc- cess of the democratic party woula not change the result, and individual explanations were of Uttle consequence when the men of the country voted right.

The triends of Clayton in tne Second and Lynes in the Third district claim great frauds in the conduct of the election, and a contest will be made.

NEW YORK HEKALD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1874. OBSEQUIES OF BISHOP BACON. Immense Concourse in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. THE DECORATIONS AND THE SERVICES, Eloquent Enlogy of the Deceased by Archbishop McCloskey. CEREMONIES AT THE TOMB. PORTLAND, Me., Nov. 10, 1874, The obsequies over the remains of the Right Rev, D. W. Bacon, Bishop of the Diocese of Port- land, took place to-day in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The ceremonies com- menced at ten A. M. and concluded at two P.M. Long before the opening of the Cathedral the ad- jacent streets were crowded with people from far and near, who were anxious to gain entrance to the imposing structure where lay the remains of the distinguished, lamented and beloved departed. Probably not less than 10,000 people were around the Cathedral when the doors were opened, ana when it is considered that not more than one- fourth that number could find even standing room Within the walls the diappointment of thousanas may be imagined. The interior was very taste- fully draped, the Bishop’s throne, the chancel and the organ gallery being hung with black, with festoons of white and wreaths and crosses of natural fowers, The additional display of funeral embiems was in perfect keeping with the solem- nity of the occasion. The body reposed in an elegant rosewood casket covered with black velvet, arrayed in the prelatial vestments. 4 re- fulgent cross was in the thin clasped hand upon the breast, and another upon the feet. The plate bore this inscriptton— OM NAEEE NILE LE REDE DE NEDO E DO OOOO. g ‘Right Reverend BISHOP BACON, 2 Died November 5th, 1874, 3 Aged 60 years.!?

The Archbishop and bishops oc- cupted the chancel, while the priests, some sixty in number, together with the city officials and other prominent dignitaries filled the slips imtne immediate vicinage of the catafalque, The office of the dead was impressively chanted, followea by the requiem mass rendered by 100 voices selected from the Cathedral and St. Dominic's choirs. The solemn high mass was then celebrated Right Reverena Bishop John J, Williams, of Massa- chusetts acting as celebrant; the Very Reverend John U'Donnell, of Nashua, Vicar-General, Assist- ant Priest; Rev. John Murphy, of Bangor, as Deacon of Mass; Rev. Jno. Duddy, of Oldtown, as Sab-Deacon; Rev. P. M. O'Callaghan, of Augusta, as Master of Ceremonies; Revs. James E. Haley, of Boston, and John R. Power, of Portland, as chanters, At the conclusion of these very tmpressive ceremonies the eulogy on the de- ceased was pronounced by Archbishop McCloskey, of New York, as follows:— EULOGY BY ARCHBISHOP M’CLOSKEY, Little did you think, dear brethren, when you last looked upon the face of your beloved Bishop, and listencd to his words of affectionate farewell onthe eve of his departure, some three short Months ago, that you could never again look upon that kind and radiant countenance, only as it re- posed in the sleep of death. He left you sppar- ently in the enjoyment of perfect health, and now he is brought back a lifeless corpse. Anticipation, his safe return, in due season you had prepared to give him a warm and heartfelt greeting, bu’ las! it was divinely ordered that grief shoul usurp the piace of joy and poignant sorrow take the place of exultant praise and gladsome thanks- giving. Heavy indeed has been the blow that has lien on all your faithful hearts. The intensity of your griel shows how much you loved him, and it evinces likewise how much he loved you. He was great to his brethren, to whom he was bound by the most endearing ties; he was great to the city in which he gained his Episcopa! See; he was a friend and brother to all, and by his remarkable affability, courtesy and gentleness he won all hearts. But he is gone, and all should remember and imitate his exalted virtues. Yes, you will re- member him; we all will, His memory .will be most affectionately cherished and his character will be a model and a pattern. These words of mine are not those of simple panegyric or iuneral discourse, but the heartfelt tribute of honor and affection for the deceased. Som ACCOUNT OF HIS ABSENCE from his charge will be of interest to ny hearers. When he quit his diocese with the intention of visiting Rome it was not for the purpose of taking @ mere respite and recreation, but it was an im- perative duty to make a periodical visit to the tombs of the apostles, to make known to the Vicar rogress and condition of his people and conier with respect to the best in- terests of the Church. This was his sole object and purpose, and all other motives attributed to him are erroneous. When, in my company, he de- Parted upon the steamship to cross the Atlantic there was peony no one on board who was in better health and spirits than he, His genial ity, kindness and affability were so prepossessiny | that in a short time no one on board was so unl versal a favorite as was the Bishop of Port- lana. But his health rapid tailed, and when within three days of Brest he might have been seen at three or four o’clock in the morning walking the deck and suffering intensely from the disease that had fastenea upon nim. deed, so alarmingly that it was feared he could Not live an hour, Said he to me, “This sickness, [ feel, wili be my last.’ The Bishop made a gen- eral confesston under the strong convicuon that he could not recover from his maiady. On reach- log Brest he was immediately placed in the Naval Hospital, and the government physicians, on being apprised of the nature of his disease aud conse- * quent sufferings, expressed the belief that nine out of ten persons subjected to a similar ordeal would have died. He was very kindly and ten- derly cared for in the hospital. The Admiral’s apartments were placed at his disposal, and the physicians and nurses were with him constantly and did all in their power to alleviate his terrible sufferings. The sisters of Charity were also ready to do what they could, so that nothing was wanting in the way of care, nursing and medical advice. In two days he seemed to rally, and in fifteen days, at the Feast | of the Assumption, he offered the sacrifice and consecrated @ large number of candidates, which service exhausted his physical powers anu ren- dered his case more desperate than tt had been before. He was conscious of the tax he was im- posing upon bimself, but felt irresistibly impelled He was prostrated and his con- dition grew more critical. Temporary rallying spells and relapses supervened and were frequent up to the time of his departure for home. When I arrived m_ Brest was inexpressibly shocked at the change that had taken place tn the Bishop’s condition. He did not look like the same man and! had grave apprehensions that he would not be abie to stand the trial of the ocean voyage. The physicians, however, advised me to take aim out Of the hospital and run the risk of the voyage, Said the Bishop, “I must go; to stay belind would break my heart.” ON THE VOYAGE day after day we feared would be his last, and as 1 sut by nis side | could see scarcely any grounas for hope that he would behoid the morning sun. But with the most caretul nursing he was per- mitted to reach the shore with some little remnant of life, where he was placed under the tender care of the kind Sisters of St. Vincent's in New York, where on the following Gay he calmly breathed his reach his home to die, we snould be devoutly thankful that dissolution did not take place at sea, With the painiul necessity of committing his body to the deep, and that his’ precious remains could be brought home and laid to rest amid the prayers | and tears of his dearly beloved. On taking my departure from Brest for Rome, the Bishop confideu to my keeping the generous ofering of hia people to the Hoiy Father, saying that it Was the heartieit offering of his diocese and asking acceprance and the apostolic benediction thereupon, The offering was duly presented and | 1 was commissioned to be the bearer of a message from the Holy Father to you, expressive of his heartfelt thanks and apostolic benediction. I will not devain you to enter into detail in regard to e LIPE WORK OF THE DECEASED, He informed me that he was born in the city of New York over sixty years He was educated In that city ana in the College of Montreal, fintsh- ing his studies in Baltimore; Aiter his consecra- tion in NewYork be was placed over the church at Utica, and subsequentiy at Ogaensburg, where his position was very responsible and lavorious, and where he did excellent service. He was trans- ferred from Ogdensburg to Brooklyn, where his strenuous efforts were success/ul in nishing the beautitul church of Mary, Star of the Sea. In the eat 1855 he became first Gishop of the diocese of where he Das ever shown au indomitable last. Although not permitted to | zeal and energy that nothin: shrank (rom no hardship, he allowed Limself no rest, he Was always busy, affording himself few hours for sleep and no indulgences, not even those that are considered harmless, His irugality, self-deniai and self-sacrifice were wonderful, and their results are visible to the eye on every side, The churches, educational institutions, orphan homes aud asylums in Maine and New Hampshire bear evidence to his proiound wisdom and unre- lenting energy. All these are things to retain ‘With pleasure within your memories. ‘The Scriptures declare that “blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for their works do fol- low them.”” The departed said not, do this and do that, but be took the iead in every good work. You will never torget to consider well the end of bis conversation. He sought only to prepare the way to heaven. You will remember his many personal sacrifices; you will remember his bright and exemplary virtues and his fine quall- es of mind and heart, You will remember him in your homes; you will remember him in the bosom of your families; you will remember him at the altar, where all around you are evidences of his unilagging zeal, his Deautiful taste and his | sincere love of the house of God. tie will take his | pee among the saints and martyrs and aposties, | ou will nO more look upon his paternal and veauteous countenance, but the remembrance thereof will ever be fresn in your memories, He | died within the octave of the festival of All Sainta, | and his mind was then tnere. Let us devoutly | hope and trust that the spirit of the departed | Bishop 1s how With all saints, and may we all so live that our last end shail be like unto his, At the conclusion of the Archbishop's discourse the Bishops were vested in stole and cope, after which they proceeded to the catafaique, upon wnich the remains reposed, where the solemn ceremony of absolution was performed by Bishops Laughlin, of Brooklyn; Lynch, of Charleston, 8. 0. Degousbriand, of Burlington, Vt.; Williams, of Boston; McNierny, Coadjutor Bishop of Albany, and Archbishop McCloskey, after which the re- mains were borne to the vault beneath the throne preceded by as follows :— Sisters of Mercy; Sub-Deacon, carrying cross and with acolyte at each side; altar boys; priests, bishops, archbishops; remains of deceased prelate. The priests chanted the benediction while the body was being borne to the place of repose amia the tones of the organ and the tolling of the great bells, Bishop Laughiin performed the final ser- vices at the vault, which was solemnly sealed in presence of Father Bradley; and thus the impos- ing ceremonies of the day were concluded, SWINDLE IN PHILADELPHIA. Bogus City Warrants Thrown on the Street—How the Brokers Were Taken Ia. could intimidate. He THE PROCRSSION, ParapeipHa, Nov. 10, 1874. Several brokers along Third street were pretty well excited and alarmed to-day upon learning that they had purchased several thousand dollars worth of bogus city warrants, with very little hope of their money coming back to them. The brokers who have suffered are Charles D. Barney & Co., Ackley & Smith, Maris & Smith, and J. KE, Ridge- way. The way the warrants were placed showed beyond doubt that the swindiers were skilful operators and had weighed the matter well before entering into it, The warrants coun. terfeited were those of school teachers and police- men, purporting to come from the office of the Board of Education and the Mayor. The former were printed on yellow sheets, about square, in biack letters, while the latter are on white paper, printed with bronze ink. amining it, the forgery could not be detected, THR OPERATION ‘was evidently done by two men, as the sequel will Show. A set of education warrants and another set of police Warrants were purchased and then four sets of each counterfeited, and this afternoon they were all sold to the brokers first mentioned. The firm of Sailer & Stevenson had purchased one get irom one of the swindled firms, and subse- quently Mr. Gibbs, of the firm of J. E. Ridgeway, happening to step into Sailer & Stevenson's, saw, Warrants as he had purchased. As the warrants were being purchased the buyers went individually to the City Comptroller, (Mr. Hancock), who failed to detect the sorgeries and identitled his signature, believing 1t to be correct. Of course, upon this the warrants were taken as good and the money paid for them. At the ofice of J. E. Ridgeway @ man appeared shortly after noon with $2,400 worth of the bogus aper for sale, He represented himself to be liliam H. Randall, and Mr. Gibbs, wno was be- hind the counter, ade him a check for $2,000 on the Farmers and Mechanics’ Bank and the balance in cash. Tbe man then leit his office, and a iew minutes afterwards Mr. Gibbs discovered that he had been swindled. He hurried to the bank to fad that bis pong had already veen presented, but the teller DECLINED TO PAY it on account of the large sum it carried upon its face. Mr. Gibbs ordered payment on it to be stopped and returned to his office, Here he learned that the man was at that moment in the get his check cashed. He went to that ofiice and found a detective, who had been informed of the swindle, aud a man Waom he had not seen before. Mr. Gibbs identified his check, and the bearer told him he had received it from Mr. Ran- dal. He then asked the man _ where Mr. Randall could be found, and he offered to take the detective to him. The detective and the Btranger started out, but when they got to the sidewaik the detective turned round to speak to @ third party, and was engaged in conversation only a moment or so. When he turned round to leave he Jound the stranger had gone. | dled brokers collected at the City Comptroiler’s office shortly alterwards, and then tt was, with some trouble, that the bogus warrants were dis- tinguished from the genuine ones, The extent of the swindle reaches about $10,000. Messrs. ell, Kay & Co, and W. W. Kurtz & Co. are also victims to the bogus c\ty warrants swin- die, Later estimates make the extent of the swin- die $15,000. Each party or frm victimized suffered @ 1088 of about $2,000 or thereabouts. VIRGINIA'S DEBT. Conference Between the Bondholders and the State—Secrecy in the Interest of the Stock Jobbers—The Feeling of Foreign Bondholders. RICHMOND, Nov. 10, 1874. No more high-handed proceeding or glaring fiilustration of official tyranny has lately come to public notice than tne attempt made by Governor Teliable information concerning the conference with the bondholders of the State. Virginia, un- able to pay her enormous debt, unwilling to prom- ise her creditors anything satisfactory to them, and guided by those who, while not open Tepudiationists, are working in that direc- tion, some months ago called this conter- ence of the bondholders, All the credit- ors, both home and foreign were invited to be present, and the Governor and ‘Treasurer were requested to meet them and if possible agree upon some plan of adjustment. No idea of impenetrable secrecy was ever contem- plated by the General Assembly when it authorized the conference, THE SUBJECT of it was the public debt of the State. Her Ex- ecutive and Treasurer were her agents to conter | with her crediturs, ana such a meeting should | have been open to the closest scrutiny, But, con- | trary to all precedents made and established, the press were peremptorily excluded and the pro- | ceedings were kept strictly secret. On the other of this Kind generally results im advantages to ; those on the inside, who can, by the dexterous | use of the telegraph wires, speculate upon the in- formation obtained in advance of its publication. ‘to-day, While the reporters, one of whom went to the conterence a8 a bondnolder, were severely excluded, joboers were telegraphing advices to Wall street upon the information of ihe procecd- | ings of the meeting, but nothing cuald be obtained | by the press except what the Governor and | others thought proper to publisn, Reports were submitted vy the Governor and the Treasurer, and & committee was appointed to consider the same and report at to-uight’s ses- sion.

The assumption of the rdle of Peg Wofington by Miss Daven- port, coupled with the reappearance of Mrs. Louise Allen, after an absence from last night additional interest. It isscarcely fair of the management to expect Miss Davenport to perli her reputation in a rdle like Peg Wofllng- ton, which calis for the very qualities the lady does not possess. She had the advantage of rich dresses and looked = pretty; but & handsome face and a pretty figure | are a poor exchange tor the archness, ier! and abandon which we naturally look for iD of art. 1t is due to Miss Davenport to day that she played the part with evident intelligence of what it should be made; but her art leans too much toward the tragic to shine tn those lighter comedy parts, which demand subtieness and quick play of jancy as well as refmement and sensibility, The Mabel Vane of Mrs. Alien made one regret that ao lady possessed of 80 much talent should have deprived the public of the enjoyment she was capable of affording for so long a period, it was redolent of sweetness and sensibility, yet at points strongly dramatic with- out apparent straining after effect. Her voice is remarkably sympathetic and her manner gracelul and finisned 10% high degree. To these advan- tages she adds the attractions of a pleasiug, expres- sive face and @ neat weil turned figure. She at once established herself in tne good graces of the audience. It would be dificult to speak with too much favor of Mr. Fisher’s performance as Triplet. Allowing for the strong family likeness which ex- ists among the actor’s creations tn kindred roles, there is enough of merit in this one to entitie Mr. Fisher to an honorable place among our first aruusts. In the DiStaring of cultured misery, in which merit struggles with misiortune, this actor 4s always very happy. It is to his credit that human- ity in rags preserves something of the nobility of manhood, It may be absurd or tpg ut never mean or degraded. It would be unjust to conclude our notice without some reference to the youthiul members of the company. The Filth Avenue seems tO aim at becoming a nursery of dramatic art. No leas than three infant prodigies were on the stage together last night and from Bijou Heron, who rejoices in the seniority of the | | \ risin; Company, to Miss Bella, who, we believe, is learning big ly to talk, the juniors acquitted themselves in @ Manver Worthy of the company that has taken them to nurse. Mr. Harking played Sir Charles Pomander and Hardenberg Colley Uibber in a Very satisiactory manner. The | appointments and settings, as usual, were unex- ceptionabie, Stadt Theatre—Opera Bouffe, Miss Lina Mayr, the German Schneider, as she has been flatteringly named on the other side of the Atlantic, and who has become a general favor- ite with the German public in the down town Teutonic Opera House, appeared last evening be, fore @ very large audience, as Gabrielle in Offen- bach’s opéra vouye, “La Vie Parisienne.” The opera is one of those works that suffer matertatty | when transferred from the atmosphere in which | it was conceived. The wild life of the Boulevards | cannot well be appreciated in a matter-of-fact city like New York, much less in a German form. There | 1s little music in the opera, and that little ts not attractive, and “La Vie Parisienne” is one of those works that should never be heard out Side the limits of the French capital. Mlle. | Mayr is exveedingly clever, bas a good, taking | voice and style and is full of radiant spirits. The “Tyrolienne,” in the third act, was admirably ren- dered. The comic acting and ainging of Mr. | Schiltz gave universal pleasure and served as an | excellent accompaniment to the bright talents of | the star of the evening. The rest of the cast were uninteresting. ‘La Vie Parisienne” is so thor- oughly local that it must at all times prove a failure outside Paris, This was proved beyond a | | doubt a few years ago, when {t was produced by J. Grau at the Theatre Frangais in this city. De Garmo Hall-Mr. J. N. Pattison’s Piano Recital and Masical Lecture. “Evenings with the Great Composers” forms | the title of @ sertes of lectures by the eminent | American pianist, Mr. J, N. Pattison, the frst of | which took place last eventng at De Garmo Hall, in Fourteenth street, before a very crowded audi- enco, under the auspices of the American Literary Bureau. The success of the pianist in his uew fleld | Wasof the most uneqatvocal cnaracter. The en- | terprise of Mr. Pattison ts one that must tnterest | every musician, combining, as it does, instruction | and amusement. Few who listen to the works of | | the great composers are suficiently familiar with | | their characteristics, We have had recitais by the dozen, but never before any adequate explana- tion of the beauties of each composition given be- neath the inspired fingers of the pianist. Mr. Pat- | ison steps into the feld and combines with bts | admiraole playing clear, sound explanations, and | brings before his hearers the different schools from the giant Handel down to the modern time. A | great deal of good is achieved, and those who | | attend sucn lectures must receive a vast amount | of benefit in their musica studies. In one part of , his lecture he pointed ous the beautiful analogy between the painter and the mu- | siclan; the seven prismatic colors and the seven | Ines of the diatonic scale. AD explanation, show- | ing the relation between a language of words and j one of sounds, capable or interpreting all the | affections, passions and emotions, was very logical and interesting. The lecture was clear, eompre- hensive, thoughtful and attractive, without being verbose or pedantic. The musical selections were Handel's grand fugue in E minor, Beethove! “Moonlight?” gona’ Liszt’s “Campanella “Nocturne” and “Marche Funebre,” Chopin; | “Murmure_ Eoliens,” Gottschalk, and “Storm Petrei,” Pattison. This wi a@ very di- verse and very dificult programme, especially when supplemented bya lecture. But the fingers of the pianist and the subtle brain that animated them failed not ina single instance. The sturdy measures of the fugue, the dreamy tones of the sonata, a love idyl; the fantastic ideas of the Abvé, the lovely poetry of the gifted Pole, the airy thoughts of our lamented American pianist and the bighly descriptive sea picture of the successor of Gottschalk were delivered with a finish and expression that brought forth their most attrac- tive features in the strongest light.

Yesterday afternoon Pilot William C. Hall, whe was in charge of the Cunard steamer Parthia at the time of her collision with the White Star steamer Adriatic on the 24th of last October off Bay Ridge, Long Isiand, appeared before Pilot Commissioner George W. Blunt, at the ofMce of the New York and Sandy Hook Pilots, in Burling | Slip, toanswer any questions relating tO the oo the stage of many years, lent to the performance | currence thst might ve put to him by Commis sioner Blunt or his brother Commissioners. Pilot Hail showed no embarrassment tn telling Diy Story, which is in substance as follows :— We left the pier at Jersey City with the Parthia, | drawing twenty-two feet eight inches of water, | and proceeded down the bay. After passing Governor's island noticed the steamship Adriaug astern, also bouna down, Observed also at tht time the Dutch steamer Rotterdam coming ous of Quarantine bound to the city, and m order to | give her plenty of room to turn kept the Parthia Weill to the eastward. When passing the bug} on the Mud Fiat noticed tne Adriatic astern am close aboard of us. Put our heim to starboat im order to give her pienty of room to go by, aod slie passed nearly her whole lengti by us, abous 300 ieet to westward, her helm being te starboard and her course being so 48 Ww cut us off. Seeing that a collision was inevitable, gave orders to stop the rarthia’s engines and back astern, at the same time putting the heim to star- board, Kept the engines turaing back until nearly afoul, when, in order to keep steerave way on the Parthia, stopped them. At Uns ume the biud of our starboard bow struck the Adriatic on the port quarter, well ait. The speed that the Adriatia Was going at 800D separated the ships, and the Parthia proceeded on her way, NOt supposing at the time that the damage done to the Adriatio was any greater than that received by the Parthia, which Was, in reality, ~ very trifiug. With this impression on ay Part, which was joined yy the and in 1 Captain and omMicers, we continued on our voyage, anu, upon arriving at Sandy Hook, { jomed my lot boat, the Thomas S, Negus, belonging to the New Jersey Pilot Association, and proceeded on @ cruise. The whole story may be told in these words, that the White Star steamship Adriatic was endeavoring to cross our bow and was damaged in the attempt. The examination of Pulot Hall was conducted by Pilot Commissioners Blunt and Story, in the pres ence Of I1lot Timothy Tewell, who was the pilot in charge of the Adriatic when the collision took lace. ‘The Adriatic, it may be remem- ered, was detained in the for three’ days, and the cost of her repairs. will probably be about $5,000, and in addi-~ tion to this further repairs were to take place upon the arrival of the vessel at Liverpool. The Parthia is due bere from England about the 26th inst. Pilot Hall has made a sworn declaration with regerence to the part he took in the collision, which fas been sent over to the agents of the Cu- nard line in Liverpool b this city. Hall has also been examined by the Ex- ecutive Committee of the New ery d Pilot Com- mlasionors, No complaint has yet been lodged against e! the agent of the line im ither pilot by the White Staror Cunard steamship agents in this city, and until such com- plaints are lodged nO official investigation wih take place.
