GLAD TIDINGS The Voyageurs Via the City of Brussels Safe. A -BROKEN SHAFT. Pilgrim Passengers’ Mid Ocean Prayers for Suceor Answered. AU SISTER «SHIP 10) THE RESUUE. ——_— Statement of Mr. Gall, Who Returned by the City of Richmond While in many of the Catholic churches of the city Prayers for the safety of the City of Brussels and its devoted pilgrim passengers were being offered up yes- terday, a good ship was steaming up the Bay carrying pews to allay the anxicty that bas been entertained for so many days. The City of Richmond—a sister ship of the vessel news of whose tute was so anxiously Jooked for—arrived at her pier at nine o’clock and re- ported the Bru: fe, but disabled, and procoeding to her destination under sail ‘ho two vossels met in mid ocean on Tuesday evening last und parted com- pany a few hours later, the ono to carry devout wor- shippers to the Holy Father in Romo, the other news to anxious triends of the satety of the voyageurs across the ocean’s wide expanse. ‘The news of the safety of the vessel and her living freight caused the greatest joy in the city when the newsboys distributed the par- ticulars throughout the entire city within a couple of hours of tho arrival of the Richmona in oxtras of the Evening Telegram. PARTICULARS OF THE DINASTER. A Heratp reporter spent Saturday night at the Quarantine boarding station at Clifton, watching for the appearance of the City of Richmond, that had been ordered to keep a sharp lookout on ber voy- age hither for the overdue steamer. Tne long watches of the night passea, but she did not appear, and sea- faring men about the station prophesied that sne would not likely arrive until to-day. About sunrise the cheering intelligence was given that the Richmond bad been signalled. She arrived off the boarding sta- ton about hall-past six A. M., and was boarded by the reporter, who learned of the safety of the Brossels and the fact that the public had been ed the hor- fora of another great calamity at sea. From Purser Thomas Kinsey, other officers of the vessel and the log of the Richmond it was ascertained that the Brussels was sighted betwcen four and five o'clock on the afternoon of last Tuesday, in latitude 46 deg. 30 min., longitude 41 deg. 13 min., about 1,300 miles this side of Fastnet Light. The Brussels was proceeding under canvas to her destination and Fre- Ported to the Richmond that she had broken her sbatt on Monday morning, 23d ult, The officers of the City of Richmond trausterred to the disabled vessel euch supplies as she ts likely to require to complete tho voyage, and in mid ocean the two vessels parted com- pany, the passengers of the Richmond giving a fare- ‘well cheer for the pilgrims on their mission tothe Holy See, All the passengers were in excellent bealth and spir- its, the voyage having been a very pleasant one. The Pilgrims especially betrayed great anxtety to continue the voyage, and although consent was given for any of the passengers to return by the City of Richmond, but one gentleman availed himself of the offer, The officers of the Richmond express the opinion ‘hat unless the noble vessel be delayed by & calm or head winds she will make hor port in eight or ten days from the time they fell in with her, so that by Thursday or Friday next wo may expect to hear of her safe arrival on the other side of the Atlantic. It is possible that the powerful steam sug Chalienger, which was sent out from Queenstown some days ago, may fall in with her, and, towing hor ln, shorten the voyage. . STATEMENT OP MR. J. GALL. Mr. J. Gall, the optician, ot No. 21 Untoa square, who was a passenger on the City of Brussels, returned In the City of Richmond, loaving bis baggage upon her, and will agaia embark for Kuropo on the outgoing trip of the vessel on which he returned. Mr. Gall, to the HmRatp reportor, made the following statement “As you know, we sailod on Saturday, the 2ist ult, All went well with us and nothing unusual occurred until Monday morning, the 23d, at about a quarter-past seven o’clock, during the morning services, The de- votional exercises were disturbed by a crash that jarred the vessel very perceptibly from bow to stern. The ergines at once stopped, and many of the assengers repaired to the deck to ascertain the cause, it Was soon learned thatthe sbatt had broken. ‘The intelligence did not seem to cause any alarm among the pilgrims, and the officers of the sel soon eatisfied tho rew anxious | ond ha that no danger heed be apprehended. Sail was at once set and the vessel proceeded slowly on her course, The weather ‘was very (ine for scveral days, aud at times the vessel was nearly becalmed, On Wednesday, the 25th, we sighted and signalieda French steamer, which returned the signais, but bore away and made no effort to com- municute with us. We did not ascertain her name, but ber action in failing to come to and communicate with ua was very severely criticised. On Saturday, the 28th, we sighted an Irish bark from Cork, lumber juden; gave her the signal of distress, she bore down, and coming alongside promised to’ report the ac- cident to any yersol ho met. We continued to make steady but slow progress under sail, and on Monday, the 30th ult., fell in witha Norwegian brig which offered ussistauce, but as we required nothing she promised to report to passing vessels aud then bore away on her course. Wo sighted no more vessels until lust Tuesday, when, to our grent joy, encountered the City of Riehmord, with which we ox- changed signals, She came alongside, and after learn- iug the cause of our delay, supplied us with such pro- ‘vision: the Brussels was likely to require, All the passenvers were in the best of health and spirits, sanecsally, tho pilgrims, who spent mort of the timo in religious exercises, holding three services a day in the gravd saloon. I knew my wife, whose health 1s very poor, would be very anxious, and 1 decided to return to allay her alarm, believing that the Richmond would make port betore the disabled vessel, 1 will sail gti on Saturday next with the City of Rich- mond, Mr. Gall, who is somewhat of a humorist, gave a quaint description of the religious exercises, and ventured the opinion that the prayers of tho faithful bad something to do with the breaking of the shatt, apd that Providence willed it for the parpose of pro- longing the voyage and enabling the piigrims, by more | earnest devotion, tke better to fit themselves for the religious duties betore them, He declares that on future voyages he will avoid pilgrims as fellow pas- sengers, abd put his trust alone in Providence and the ; powerful propeller for a safe voyage, Mr. Gall reports that there was a short supply of on board, and, in tonsequence, the shipments of {resh beot by the vessel, estimated aa worth $50,000, will be a total loss, Ow board the City ot Richmond it was stated that the Fronch steamship mentioned by Mr Gall was bound westward, Woether the broak in the shalt is close to the screw or not cannot be ascertained till the vesse! i# placed on the dry dock and the packing box opened, iu ono day the Brussels sailed 183 miles under canvas, and it is surmised that with a {air wind she | may run 200 milies perday. In fifteen days sho has made, Including her first t#o days’ steaming (say 700 miles), about 1,500 miles, and itis probable that her Foyuge may occupy, from first to last, ome thirty- five days, tanking allowance fur adverse winds, The | Oity ot Rienmond also teil in with the broken dowo Anchor ine steamship Sidonian at half-past tive A. M. | on the 7th of May, at abont 400 miles from the Fastnet | fight. fi TUR SCKNR AT THK IFMAN WITARF, At the inmaun wharf, pier 45, yesterday afternoon, hundreds of people flocked dowi to the City of Rich= mond to get further dotatls respecting the spenking of the City Of Brusselsio mid-ocenn.

She had four decks, divided by having sliding water-ti; yj ight al 1 bulkheads, dvors, wor! or spar deck. The forecastle, poop decks are in 4 line fore and alt the ship's lougth and are constructed of iron framing and sub- stantial woodwork. ‘The steam und ship's galleys, baker's s and butcher's shambies ure considered fireproof, ‘the spar deck is covered with beavy sicel bread plates across its whole ith, Under the poop dock ia Bited w steam gearing appuratus, The City of Brussels had accommodations for 200 first class i. ant Con esegne aod Anges ines passengers. ‘Tue engines, which wero construcied on the horigoatul trank plan, were of 600 nominal horse power, There wore six boilers aud tweaty-cight fur- aces ranged fore and aft on each side of the ship and fired athwurt-ships. Provision was made for the ex- tingmshing of fire by the fitting up of a centrifugal pump, capable of lifting over 2,000 yallons of water per minute. ere was also in the engine room one large pumping engine to which steam could be applied from the maid boilers as well as trom the donkev boiler on the spar deck. There were steam winches on the roupdbouse deck, fitied with all the recent improve- ments and counected with pumps haviug access to the lower cargo holds, Ample provision bad thus been “made tor such contigeacies us would endanger tho sal the vessel in the event of a fire, or the sudden inflow of water from collision, jJeakage or any other cause, The curgo holds were weilsupplied with pumps and steam fire extinguishers, On hor return to Kurope last June the vessel was Jaid up for repairs, She was thoroughiy overhauied and retitted, jew engines of the compound type and pew boilers were erected. Many new staterooms were also put up. Several of the latter were verv large, some of them containing wardrobes.

HR OWNERS’ PRELICTION VERIFIED, The Messrs, Inman, one of whem is now a visitor in our city, bave all along maintained the theory that the cause of gelay in arrival out of the Gity of Brus- sels was the breaking of the shait of the vessel. Tuis opinion was cavied irom Liverpool on the 10th, and we vow have a fresh admonition that it 18 not safe to give way to gloomy forebudings of disaster to an “ocean courser” nutil suflicient time has clapsed tor a oO vessel under sail to reach a port. ‘THK NEWS IN THE CHURI ‘The Rey. Father Hogan, who preached the sermon in St. Patrick's Cathe. ral yestorday, prefaced it with the good news brougut by the City of Richmond. The announcement, totally unexpected us it was, was evi- dently a most agreeable surprise to the covgregation, and alter the services the ifying pews becawe the chief topic of conversation among those who had at- tended the services, In several other cliurchos the news was announced and thanks offered to God for the preservation of the City of Brussele. CENTRAL PARK. THE PEOPLE'S DAY—THOUSANDS SEEK REFRESH- MENT AND PLEASURE AMID 11S WOODS AND GLADES. The bright and cheery weather yesterday drew from tho crowded houses of the city thousands of toil ‘worn men and women to the verdant meadows and shady walks of Central Park. It ison this people’s day that can be best appreciated the bicasings which this breathing place confers on the dwellers in the crowded tenement houses of this city. In great streams the people poured ih from all sides, and it was only pecessary to watch them for a little whilo to be- come convinced that they enjoyed fully the health-giv- ing beauties by which they wore surrounded, DECKED WITH GREEN. Just now Central Park alfords a delightful retreat from the hot pavements of the streets und the noise aud bustle that even on the Sabbath day disturb the quiet of the city. Dame Nature this year has been slow in putting aside ber winter garb, and though by force of habit she bas begun to change wer raiment, some traces of her winter's garb aro still visible ainong the bright and cheery colors sho is woat to dispiay in the hopeful springtide time. Hore and there in the landscapes may still be detected the staring black branches of leafless trees, sad mementoes of departed woter, looming up amid scenes of beauty like the memory of lorg buried sins, suggesting that even fair Nature bas lurking in her seeret closets skeletons that ‘will arise to mar the days of pence and joy. Save those intrusive skeleton forms, on all sides the eyes regia on naught but scones of serone and sooth- ing beauty. Like an immense carpet spread out in- vilingly the meadows clothed in tender green; but un- fortunately they are meadows only in name, for the Jaws of the Park Commissioners prevent the people suroing them to their natural uses, They are pavo- rainic beauties to be gazed uw but not enjoyed. In any Other country they would be occupied by lolling groups | aud the merry ery of children av piay would fll the | measure of their bewuty. But wader the iron rais at | present in force all this Dewaly 18 barren——at lourt as | burren as any true bewuty cau be. Not a blade of yrass | 46 turned by tho foot of Ehildhood, and old and young | look wistlully at the iuviting grass ax they saunter | along the pebbly pathway exposed to the glare of a | gun that already scorches the pedestrian aud makes | welccme the sheltering sade of the troes, THE UPPER TRY. | The lovely weathor tempred the couservative “upper | hours | the drives were well tiled with the carriaues and bug gies oF those for Whose special beboof Central Park | seems planned, Nu donbdt a httle waver sprinkled on | the rowuways would bave onhanced the churing ot a | drive through tho delighttul scenery of the Park, bat the favored children of fortune could well afford to | forget this slight drawback in view of the many compensating advantages they onjoy.

DEATH OF MRS, RENWICK—THE CORONER'S INQUEST—A YOUNG LADY'S PRESENCE OF MIND--THE COACHMAN'S STORY, The Contral Park accident has been made" the more painial by the death of Mrs, Renwick, who, with Mrs, MecDonal, was in the couch at the time the horses took fright, and who leaped trom the carriage to re- ceive fatal injuries. She died at the Presbyterian Hos- pital, in Seventieth street, at an early bonr yesterday morning. When Mrs, Reawick was found unconscious she was taken to the hospital, Drs, White aud Post came in sbortly alter, but their skill was of no avail. The lady was unconscious trom the time she strack the ground Ull the moment of her death, She recogatzed no one, Bor spoke a word the whole time she was in the hos- Pital Mr, Renwick, her husband, had gono down town early in the morning, having made/arrangemeuts with bis wife to meet her about one at a store she was to do some shopping in, He transacted some business and then went up to meet ber at the appointea place. She was not there, so he hurried back two his store, where a score of telegrams awaited him appris- ing him of the sad state of aifaira, As quickly as pos- sible he hurried to the hospital and arrived there about three o’ciock in the afternoon. He did not leave the bedside of his wife, but up to the momert of her death he watched over her, hoping that she would at loust show a slight recognition of him. Rev. Edward L. Clark, the minister of the Churcn of the Puritans, and Mra, Reawick’s pastor, came down to the hospital also, and with Dr Buchler, the house surgeon, watched by the bedside, ‘They thought sbe would recover; in tuot, they had strong hopes to tho last, a8 she seemed to sleep soundly and peacetully, Only twice during ner last hours did she move; on one occasion she stroked back her bair trom her face, passing her hand curolessiy over ber | forehead after the manner of a thoughtless little girl; again she raised herself on her elbow and smoothed the pillow case, as if she wished to make her rest more | easy. The watchers ov each occasion hoped and thought that those actions were the fororanners ot | returning consciousness, but sho made uo further | Movement. At nine o'clock yesterday morning Mra, | Renwick was dead, THE CORONKR’S INQUEST.
