The signal was perceived by the crew of ‘the flagship Black Prince and the com- mander of the ship signalled to the dock- yard for assistance. \ THE CAUSE OF THE DANGER. Before the tugs from the dockyard arrived at the side of the Iron Duke it was discovered that the main sluice of the ship had been left open from some cause not yet explained.

Wasuinoton, Noy, 21, 1875, An officer of the War Department expresses the | Opinion that the whole United States Army is not large enough to defend the Rio Grande, from its mouth to Ringold Barracks, as the line is so circuitous and covered with chapparal that no lookout for | @ny distance with videttes or even with cavalry patrols can be kept up. He further says that once any hostile force has reached the river, it is impossible to ingercept or impede them, In a word he said it was not in the power of the government to pro- tect the Texas frontier, and hence the necessity of hav- ing been obliged, tacitly, to acquiesce in the coopera- tion of Texas volunteer or State troops. It is thought, he furthor says, that Colonol Potter is the MAN FOR THE EMERGENCY there, Colonel Potter is vouched for at the War De- partment as an officer of great judgment, tact and cau- tion, and every confidence is felt in him. General Augur, when in command of the department, had an understanding with the Mexican General commanding to co-operate with the United States troops‘on the Mex- iean border, but no sincere fulfilment of it seems to have been carried out, THE MARYLAND ELECTION.

Gwinn, the democratic candidate, Governor Groome has addressed acommunication to Mr. Wallis, saying :— In view of the facts that the constitution provides no mode in which the contest shall be conducted, and that there is no legislation which reaches the case, he would be pleased to receive from Mr. Wallis and Mr. Gwinn, or thoir attorneys, at the earliest practicable day written argu- ments upon the question whether he (the Governor) can entertain the contest proposed, the extent of powers in regard thereto and the mode in which he should proceed to exercise them. PROFESSOR PROCTOR ON ASTROL- oGy. AN OLD AND EMINENTLY SCIENTIFIC SUPER- STITION—-THE VALUE OF ASTROLOGICAL PRE- DICTIONS ILLUSTRATED. Bostox, Mass., Nov. 21, 1875. Professor Richard A. Proctor, the celebrated English astronomer, who is now spending a brief period in Bos- ton, delivered one of his characteristic lectures in Hor- ticultural Hall this evening, The edifice was crowded on the occasion and the effort of the lecturer elicited praise and admiration. “ASTROLOGY 4 SUPERSTITION”? was the subject chosen, and, while denouncing it in every form, he recognized the fact that it was a sort of respectable superstition and admitted that far back in the olden times it was an eminently scientific super- stition. The hall was darkenod during the delivery of the lecture to aid ina series of stereoptical illustra- tions to emphasize the points which were so eloquently advanced and maintained. These illustrations tn- claded all the various planets which are held up by ancient and modern astrologists to foretell the events of the world, and the astrological meaning, as well as the supposed worth of each and all, were fully ex- plained by the lecturer. One of his illustrations re- ferred to THE PRINCE OF WALES and the prophecies which a renowned astrologer had made, {t was advanced at the period of his birth and claimed that he would be a tall, handsome man; would early tn life become a distinguished naval officer, then marry a very distinguished and worthy lady; that he would be austere, benevolent, but at the same time very reckless, the last of which prediction was about the only one that had accidently proved true. This same astrologer also prophesied that in 1870 he woula be thrown from a borse and be violently kicked by the fran- tic steed, an accident which the lecturer bad never yet heard of. It was also laid out for him that he would NEVER VISIT AMERIC. and it_was, omphatien stated that be would néve¥ tavade India. Such illustrations as this, to show the fallacy and entire superstitious character of as- rology were frequent throughout the entire lecture. fe admitted that there were rare instances where fore- shadowed events had occurred, but he regarded them as merely accidental and not in any sense 4s antici- pated or divined by the stupidity of astrology. THE SHIP JOHN PASCAL, ARRIVAL OF THE OFFICERS AND CREW AT BOS- TON-—8TATEMENT OF THE MASTER REGARDING THE BURNING OF HIS VESSEL. Bostox, Nov. 21, 1875. The ship Victoria arrived here to-day from Calcutta with the officers and crew of the ship John Pascal, of Bangor, Me., which vessel was destroyed by fire on the passage from Calcutta to New York. A portion of the crew has been previously reported as arriving at Plymouth, England, and their statement is fully cor- roborated by that of Captain Talpey, the master. ‘THE MASTER'S STATEMENT. He reports:—Left Calcutta July 17; nothing unusual took place until Augast 28, forty-two days out; about midnight we were alarmed by smoke coming from the half deck hatch; we commencéd al oncé if break out cary Oy and took on deck some 300 bags of rudber; soon after Wo found smoke issuing from the fore hatch; got the force pump started; lifted the hatch and soon ex- tinguished the fire; it was confined in some bags of linseed under the hatch ; we then broke out cargo down to the lower deck and threw overboard all that was damaged; continued to work until all appeared dry and cool; we examined the cargo in different parts of the ship from time to time and could find no signs of heat; soon after we came into cold and rough weather; were off the Cape of Good Hope for fifteen days, with’ strong north- west gales; after pasolng the cape we soon got into fine weather; we now bad little or no fear of fire, as the cargo in all parts of the ship was cold and dry. Sep- tember 28, or thirty days after the first fire, we were AGAIN ALAMED, by smoke coming from the fore hatch; the fire was so far abaft the hatch it could not be reached by the force pump; the ship was so throughly ventilated that the flames spread radidly; then ag soon as possible stopped all ventilation fore and ait; cut holes in the deck vand poured down water ; also got a stream on from the engine and led the hose from the escape pipe through the deck, hoping to stifle the fre, ‘but without suc- cess; we now altered our course for St. Helena, 200 miles distant; it now became evident that it waa impossible to save the gg Heed then made prepara- tions to leave in the boats whcn we could not ign Oi the ship any longer, At eight A.

After the applause which greeted his appearance had subsided Lord-Houghton said that he felt deeply gratified for the enthusiasm with which his name had been received and for this compliment which bad been offered him, in addition to the many he had already received in this country. He was not unaware of the special value of the present compl!- ment. He know that here had been received Mr. Froude, the most origenal of English historians, who had glanced round that room with brilliant eye, like that of a frightened orse—(applause)—and who had for tho last two years been employed in the important work of créating Tisw Gontoderacy of British colonies. Here, too, Canon Kingsley had thrilled them with an urgent eloquence like a voice of departing genius; | and here, too, had been received the promise of futuro English statesmansbip in young Lord Rosebery. (Cheers.) He felt himself, there- fore, under the obligation of answering as clearly and powerfully as ho could a question not | ofrare occurrence which he was conscious every one of his hearers was putting to him in his heart—What do you think of our country?” (Much laughter and cheers.) As to another not infrequent form of interro- gation, ‘Do you admire our constitution?’ he would state with the utmost candor and the most careful consideration that he must ask their leave—to reserve his opinion, (Much laughter.) On the other ques: | tion he had no difficulty, America was eimi- nent for the beauty of her women. (Cheers.) At this time of life he was no fair witness on that sub- dJect, but he would offer the more valuable testimony of his son, a young man of somo talent and perception, of Seventeen years of age, who had gone home with this expression on his lips and this impression on his heart, (Cheering.) In this sense, therefore, he fully admired the youth of America, but he was not prepared to im- personate the country herself exactly in that aspect. | Americans were very fond of appealing to their youth. When anything went wrong or seemed incomplete, or disappointing, they said, “You should remember how young we are.’ Now, he was not prepared entirely to admit that pretension. In all that constitutesa nation, | in the aggregation of thought, in the expansion of ideas, | America ithe experience of the Europe from which she came, added to the interest and vivacity which she had gained from her transportation to # novel hemisphere. She had, indeed, that charm of | middle life and that full, luscious beauty and mature in- telligonce which a great French novelist had imperso- nated in ‘La Femme de Quarante Ans.” (Great ap- plause.) Balzac himself may have taken his notion from the old anecdote of a Frenchman giving to his son two counsels on his entry into the world—‘Listen to the old men and make love to the women of forty.” (Great ‘aughter.) ‘This 1s the advice he would now repeat. Love your America with all the devotion she deserves, and do not disregard the words and thoughts of veteran Europe. | He, however, was not @bout to abuse the privilege either of bis age or of his present position. But, as al- lusion had been made to him both as a poet and poli- tician, It might not be unbecoming for him to say tnat | he had done his best to reconcile whatever imaginative | faculties he may have possessed to the practical busi- ness of the world and its political action. He | had been for twenty-five yoars a member of the House of Commons, and afterward of the other branch of the Legislature, and he believed that, taken as a whole, no man’s life suffered froma mixture of the | real and the ideal. He knew he was addressing tho Lotos Club, a society whose fundamental principle (it words meant anything) had been expressed in the | melodious verses of one of the latest and not least of American poets, Joaquin Miller:— It seems to mo that mother Earth Is weary from eternal toil And bringing forth by fretted soil, In onies of birth. Sit down! sit down! So it were best ‘That we should rest, that we should rest. Pern ale een I think we then shall all be glad, Atleast I know we are not no Not one, And even Earth, somehow, Seems growing old and over sad, | Then fold your hands: for it were best That we should rest, that we should rest. But somehow or other he hardly thought that his present audience was quite so purely contemplative, quite so entirely free from all worldly interests and secular motives as their nomenclature would imply. And they were right If they lived exclusively in o sphere of literature and art they would be living sole!: for themselves; but now they are mixing in daily life with other men, taking upon themselves high | responsibilities and leavening with vheir thoughts and objects the hard and heavy destiny of the common multitude of mankind, ‘They were in truth an aristocracy quite as real as, and in their altimate action more powerful than, tho Senators of Venice, the barons of England or the grandees of Spain, It was their mission to lead on this Inagnificent country in the yan of civilization of the world—(cheers)—to give form and permanence to what would otherwise have been a fleeting development of material force, to give dignity to wealth and consolation to poverty, and to stifle the jealousies of the elder world at any possible expansion of the dominion of the new by making it coincident with the progressive develop- ment of man. At the conclusion of his very eloquent address the noble Lord took bis seat and was greeted with emthu- | siastic applause, i MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. | Mr. Jerome Hopkins gives a piano lecture concert at | Chickering Hall this afternoon, The Kellogg English Opera Troupe begin in Philadel- phla to-night at tho Acaaemy of Music, opening with | “Mignon.” “The Huguenots” is to be performed on Tuesday night.

A REFUGEE PROM HAYTI. General Canal, the refugee who sought the shelter and protection of the American Minister at Port au Prince, aud for whose deliverance a United States gun- boat was sent to Hayt!, has arrived here in safety. It is said there is no doubt that he will be the next President of that Republic, and that it is the knowledge of this fact that made the Haytian goverument so anxious to execute him. RELIGIOUS BXCITEMENT. There has been a religious disturbance in Spanish | ‘Town owing to an attempt to remove a young curate, the Rev. Mr. Val Spinosa, from the Cathedral, where he is very popular, but not, however, with the churcn | wardens, who disliked him’ on account of his honesty and outspoken character, A persecution of the young curate followed, Six hundred of the congregation, headed by Sir Bryan Edwards and others, stood by him in his trouble, but the Bishop, yielding to the church wardens, superseded him in the charge. The populace discovering this on the Sunday when the Rev. Mr. Hepburn entered the pulpit a large body rose and left the Cathedral, leaving the minister to preach to empty benches. In'the afternoon some 300 people and as many of the Sunday scholars, who include big, able- bodied men and women of all colors, proceeded to the residences of the church wardens, M. Conkavous and Dr, Benjamin Stamera These officials fled and were fuilowed by the mob, who hooted them, HAYTI. Kinastoy, Ja, Nov. 13, 1875. The new government bank at Port au Prince is not likely to last long. The Haytian capitalists, who were to contribute largely to the investments with which the bank was to start, have fatled to carry out their engagements, stating that their resources now are not what they were when the promise was made.

BBITISH OPINION OF THE REPUBLICAN SERE- NADE TO HIS EXCELLENCY—THE THIRD TERM | AGITATION, {From the London Standard, Nov. 9.] The republicans of Washington serenaded President Grant on Saturday last, tn colebration of the republi- can victories of this day week, and the Prosident de- livered ashort speech. ‘People know now,” he said, “what kind of money we are to have.”” So far we think | the Prosident’s interpretation of the results of the | elections the correct one, Tho voting twelve months | ago showed that the constituncies wore tired of the corruption and maladministration of the republican party, and that they wished to give the democrats a trial, But tho leaders of the latter in the West throw | away their chance. The declarations of the | polls in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York prove conclusively that the financial was the real issue before the country in these recent contests. For two | years running the democrats had carried Ohio, and the discouragement of the republicans last summer was in consequence so great that they were hesitating whether they should oppose Governor Allen’s re-election. But the adoption of the inflation platform by the democrats gave them courage,,and Mr. Carl Schurz’s arrival and | stumping of the State gave them the victory, although by a barrow majority. The democrats of Pennsylvania repeated the blunder of their Ohio allies. Had they | not done so they bad everything in their fa be | republican rings of Philadelphia and Harrisburg as corrupt as ever was that of New York in the days of | Mr. Tweed. Had the democrats rested their case on — opposition to these rings they’ would, in all prova- | bility, have been successful. Many of the repub- | licans themselves are tired of the peculation of these | rings, and would gladly have alded in their defeat. But when the democrats adopted an inflation policy, | the discontented republicans, who are the most respect- | able members of their party, were driven back into the ranks they had intended to desert. Reform of tho | administration, they argued, might be effected another | year, butan inflation victory now might geata Presi- | dentin the White House next year pledged to inflation. The success of the democrats in New York State, | where they were as strongly in favor of hard money as ' the republicans, confirms this inference. We are satis- | fied, therefore, that the President is right in saying that | these elections have put an end to the inflation agita- | tion, and that in the Presidential contest next year Lad | ut when the President goes on to add that, “1 think we havethe | assurance that the republicans will control the govern- ment for at least four years longer,”” he appears to be drawing a wider conclusion than the premises warrant. | Unquestionably the loss of so many States, but more | particularly the loss of Ohio and Pennsylvania, will dishearten the democratic party, will tend to make them believe that the popular favor has again deserted them, and will thereby repress their energies, while the republicans will be correspondingly elated. But it is certain that both parties next year will favor resumption, and if the democrats’ nominaie a candidate already tinguished by his eforts to purity administration and to prevent intiation—sueh & man, say, as Governor Tilden—it would be very | unsafe to infer that they must be beaten, The truth is, the result next year will depend, first, | upon the candjdates nominated and the Platiorins pat forward; second, upon the manner in which the dem- ocratic House of Representatives, which meets next | month, uses tts authority; lasuy and mainly, on the | conduct of the President himself. The reaction of last doubt, produced by the discredit into which the Prest dent aud Congress had fallen, It would be difficult | to say whether the corruption of Congress, as re- vealed by the Crédit Mobilier investigation, or the Presidents patronage of Custom House black- mailing, or his contempt of all constitutional | | Tight mm his Southern policy, most alarmed and disquicted the country, But all these causes co-oper- | ated. The republicans are now in a minority in the House of Representatives, and in the Senate their ma- | jority has been greatly reduced. It will mainly depend, | therefore, npon the conduct of the President himself | whether the successes of last week are to be repeated | Apparently the | dence in himself, It will bo romembered that in 1872 | his comment on the great majority he received over | Mr. Greeley was that the people had repressed the calumnies that had been heaped upon him. If ho takes | the same view now, as he apparently does, he will | probably be encouraged to continue the policy | which shipwrecked his party twelve months ago. In- deed, the victory in Ohio gave him courage to appoint, of the Alabama dispute urged the invasion and annex: Pre: 8 dent Grant’s course now, as it contrasts so uniavorabl with his apron aeo in the cases of Mr. Bristow aud Mr. Jewell, evening, “The Apostate,” At the Saturday matinée he | ge the fittest agent to bring the whole influence of the | Petersons’ Campiet government to bear upon the coming elections. Taken in conjunction with the tone of the short speech on Saturday, it would seem to imply that the third term agitation is not yet abandoned. OBITUARY. ORRIS 8. FERRY, UNITED STATES SENATOR.
