MORGAN, ay THR TABLE, The scene presented when the company was at tablo was one long to be remembered, Over the entrance to the dining hall tho lion and the unicorn supported the quartered shield of Britain in banner brave, and over them were entwined the cross of St. George and she stars and stripes. A profusion of flowers flecked the wails and tables. Of tho latter thore were three running paraliel and a fourth placed at right angles tothem, At the head of the Jatter table and directly under a festoon of British and American ensigns sat ex-Governor >amuel J. Tilden, who presided, At his right sat Mr. Morgan, the honored guest of tho evening, and further along Governor Rico, of Massachusetts; August Belmont, General Joseph 'R, Hawley, Colonel Thomas Scott, of the Pennsyivania Railroad, aud Joho W, Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio, On Mr, Tilden’s left were Governor Hartranit, of Pennsylvania; ex- Secretary of the Treasury McCulloch, ex-Governor KE. D, Morgan, A. A, Low and J. D, Babeock. At the middie table of the ovner three sat Cyrus W. Field, with Sir Peter Coats, of Scotland, the celebrated philanthropist and cotton spinner; Hon. R. Plunkett, M, P., of England; General Di Cesnola, the explorer of Cyprus; the Itov. Henry M, Field, D. D.; Sir Hugh Aucbincloss and other notable yeople, Indeed, it would be invidious to attempt select the most prominent among the guests, evory one way a gentleman known throughout the ntry. Mr, Morgan was the cynosure of all eyes, there wore, many seated at the tablos who saw jor tho first time in many years, His hearty ap- ce and frank, manly bearing were the subject of rsal comment, and for a timo the buzz of con- jon was occupied with the incidents of his ple career irom the time he played as yy under the elms in West Springfield, Masa, became a clerk at Hartford, Conn, ; thence wrad- to Boston to become a partner in the house of M. Beebe, and finaliv removed to London to be- the partner of Mr. Peabody, The tone of the ent is oxpressed in tho words of Rev. Dr —“From first to last Mr, Morgan has had conil- im his country, He believed in America, Ho bat sho was groatand rich and strong, Hoknew it resources in mines of coal and iron and in yundless prairtes of the West, which could feed ropo.

When uil these good things bad been done justice to ex-Governor Tilden arose aud calling the company to order made a brief address beiore prouosiag the health of the honored guest of the evening. He Joined in these social festivities offered to a gen. tleman who had become emineut in the mo. tropolis of Great Britain by his fellow citi-» zeus jn American “I au commissioned,’ he said, “to offer a single toast ana to elicit a single speech, aod tor that purpose I must make some tntro- ductory observations calculated to draw out tuat native eloquence which springs from every American bosowm.’’ (Laughter.) Mr. Tilden said he could not look upon that audience without being re- minded that it was a teaching of political case tom , that every in who by any eftort reduced the cost or increased the result of any service demanded by society, to that extent increased the productive oupacity of human labor as the result of its exerciso, The men whom he saw around, owners of colossal cupituls and managers of mighty capitals, associated together in corporate forms, no doubt had—somo of them at leasi—an idea ' that they were working lor themselves. ‘The speaker, however, had tho satisfaction of claiming, on behalf of the gone eral public, that they were chiefly working for that public, (Appiause.) He could remember a few years ugo when the producis of industry in the United States were not worth the cost of bring. ing them to market, A little time beloro he was borp two uncles of his went about fifty miles east of tho Hudson River, aud bought farms east of Albany, but found that products east of Albany could pot be brought to New York by any means then known to civilization, A Iittio jater ho remembered meeting reports obtained by Mr. Flagg, then Comptroller, in answer to certain parties who inquired trom the tarmers whether they could affort to send their products to the New York markets, A little later and New York- era were able to gratp the business that arises in tho vuiley of the Mississinp!. The question of trans- portation in the United States haa a mag- nitude which was possible here olse in tho world. A product of industry used to cost Q man equal to its whole value to farm to bring it to market, and if the cost of lis transportation were ro- duced one-half that was precisely equivalent to what it would bring it one added one-quarter to the fertility of the soil without any additional crop being raised. (Applause.) ‘Today the people of the United States tound themselves able to bring products from the romotest parts of tho continents and to ship them at prices which command the market, The geutiomen Who mdnuged all these enterprises, considered, no doubt, that they were working for themselves and their stockholdors, though A Si ite dorve, Gi ONL LL OE IEE DE“DIDEIEDELIDI DIDO IELE- Ds DEDEDE DOOD EL EE OE bE DEOL OE the stockholders, haps, had great doubt on that wubject; but Tilden claimed that they wi trot yn the §=«main§ on behalt of u public. ‘he speuker remarked that the men of colossal capitals and managers of millions could not even carry a carpet bag with thom when they went on that jong journey into the land from whence no travolior e’er returns. (Laughter and applause.) Mr. Tilden remembered that when he was quite a young man he was sent for by one of the ablest mon he had ever known—a great statesman, a great thinker—Martin Van Buren, who consulted him about his will Mr. Tilden walked about with him over bis farm one afternoon, and was informed that Mr. Van Buren bad mado him trustee over his children in the will, Mr, Tilaen told him tt was not woll to be wiser than events or to con- trol the future, which po man could foresee, or to trust one’s grandchildren, whom one didn’t kuow, out of distrust of one’s children whom one did know. In consequence of these suggestions Mr. Van Buren altered his wil The speukor proceeded to reiate some interesting incidents of a visit to Mr. Morgan’s establishment last summer, during bis visit abroad, Mr. Morgan seemed curious to now his visitor’ impressions the matter, Mr Tilden said had = been thinking on it a great deal, and ho had come to the conclusion that Mr. Morgan was merely a sort of a managing trustee of the busi- ness which he carried on at No, 22 Old Broad street, in London, Ho saidto Mr. Morgan, You got your food, your clothing and your shelter, and that is about all”? Of course, a man may bave some delight in a sense of power, inasense of cousequonce. In that respect, however, Mr, Tilden thought his hostier might have the better of him. “Yos,’? said Mr. Tit den, “IL could not belp it I told him 1 thought be was a trestee on @ handsome gulary; doing very woil, but not getting much more than any of ‘the rest of the peopie about the place.” The speaker, however, could not help remarking that when he saw Mr. Morgan at work he seemed to take as deep an iuterest in bis duties us trustee and to be as diligent andas faithful as though he had somo personal interest in the estate. (Laugbter.) Mr, Tilden proceeded to make some humorous com- arisons betweon Mr. Morgan and Dick Whittington isteniug to the prophetic voice of Bow Bells, “And now,’ he continued, “fora quarter of a cun- tury he has upbeld our national honor in the capital of England (applause), and during all that time, when he has ri I believe his deepest claim to our consideration is that he has never ceased to be an American. 1 trus( of course, all the rest of these colossal men have discovered | there Is than mone; that is American follows. And there is something better than American esteem for their fellows, which 1s the consciousne-3 toat human society is better for the fact that we have existed. (Applause) Now, gentlemen, I propose you the health of Mr. Juctus S. Morgan, Mr. Cyrus W. Field proposed “three cheers” for Mr, Morgan, and they were given with a will, THR GUEST’ # RESPONSE. Mr. Morgan bowed his acknowledgments, and, silence being restored, proceeded to address tho company. He arg 4 compared himself to one who after fulling from a housetop was asked whether the fall hurt and replied that the fall did not hurt him, but the shock when he came upon bis {cet did, He was entirely untbie to put in words the emotion which filled his heart. His memory carried him back to a similar scene which occurred on the occasion of his leaving America to settle abroad. He went forth after the words of counsel given him by the iriends who then surrounded him with a resolution to Wo all he could to prevent the good name of America ever boing culled in quee= tion, Noting could be kinder, Mr. Morgan suid, than the reseption he met with ‘in England, and he bad ¢ dove all in his power to perpetuate that good feeling. Mr. Morgan referred to the condiiion of our national securities twenty years ago and brielly sketched tho financial history of the country since, The manage- ment of the national securities at the out- break of the war, the collection of the mighty army of the Union and its disbandiog at the termina- tion’ of the struggle without turbulence he referred to with pride, He dwelt upon the fact tbat our securl- ties “are now quoted on evory exchange in the world, He drew a glowing picture of the fature of this country. In conclusion he thanked the gentlemen again for the honor conferred upon him, and said that he would return to bis post of labor more tully determined thau ever to merit their commendation, OTHER ADDREKESES, Governor Rice, of Massachusetts, being called Ro responded with an amusing address in which humorously th culogized his own State at expenso of all tho rest of creution, Governor Hartranit, of Pennsylvania, wade somewhat longthy speech, and was followed by ex- Secretary McCulloch, who briefly dwelt upon the financial qu sol the day. President Garrott, ot the Baltimore aod Ohio Railroad, eulogized Mr, Mor- gan, and dwelt upon the services the latter had per- formed for his country while living abroad, Mr. 5S D. Babcock made a 1ew remarks of a similar tenor. Mr. August. Belmont, boing repeatediy called for, aroso and alter a few humorous romarks ulladed od brieily to the nancial condition of the country expressed his confidence in the Senate and in the P ideut and bis Cabinet and his belie! that they would listen to wise coun! in the matter of national founce, Ata late hour the company broke up, but mang re- matued to shake the hand of Mr. Morgan and renew the memorios of old times ere he transierred his domicile to the dominions of Queen Victoria, | BOY MISSING. Throo months ago Mr, and Mra Cannon, of Troy, N. Y., placed their son Charles, aged eight ye charge of a woman whom they knew as Mary Gil- bride,and who was to bring the child to shis city for medical treatment. Since then they have lieard nothing of either and ure alarmed for the safety of the boy. An accurate description of both was y day pluced in the hands of the police by the dis paren STOLEN PROPERTY RECOVERED. Mr, A, D. Wheeler, of Providenco, R. 1., was robbed on the night of the Sth inst. of a horse, buggy and harness, and suspicion rested on Wiiliam Dommis and James Larney, who had been in his service, The Stuien property was recovered In this city yesterday by Devectives Kerns and Wolsey, and the men, Demmis aud Laruey, Were arrested’and locked up to answer for the theft.

This is the first time that Miss Morris bas attempted to interpret in public the character of Jano Eyre, and it is not too much to say that as regards both her present and future reputation its selection has been well ad- vised. She fits the part physically and adds to tho sinall physique with which we are wont to associate governess the wonderful magnetism that, reaching above common things, conquors at last ber lord and master, From the moment when as a child she flercely denounces hor inhuman aunt—a passage full of subdued power, pathos and eloquence—until she confronts Rochester, and in his household enters upon a home lite that is by turns full of storm and sunshine, she displays such womanly attributes that one forgets the mero artist in the contemplation of her character, 1t 18 a@ long time since a Now York public have witnessed a portrayal of human passion exemplified in such a natural manner—such quiet and yet intensified exhibitions of pride, love, jealousy, hate and joy as Miss Clara Morris has de- veloped in her study of this part. In the language of one of the lines of the play, it was evident that she could not ‘reproduce that which found no ceho in her own soul,” and hence the entire action approached the pertection of stage art, We have been accus- tomed to see Miss Morris produce phenomenal effects and always expect them. Her porformance yosierday shows that “her right hand has not forgotten ite can- ning.” Mir, McKee Rankin played Lord Rochoster with vigor, and yet seemed nut to invest the part with the severity described in the novel, He was hkewise faulty in some of his lines toward the close, but iu a measure componsated for these defects vy ols hand-. some bearing and the stage presence that always sorves Lim 80 well. Mra. J, L. Carhart as Judith Harloigh was excellent, The same remark may be made of Miss Jennie Carroll, who personated Mra. Reed. Mr J. H. Burnott, Miss Gracie Wade as little Adele, Miss Emily Rigi and Miss Watson likewise played well. Indeed, the entire cast was admirably chosen, “Jane Eyre’? may or may not be an- Rounced again during the season, but those who saw tho performance yesterday will recognize in t dramatic success, and in the title rdlea distinctive Character whouever it is represented by Ciara Morris, It would not be proper to close these comments with- out adding that Mr, Lester Wallack gonerousiy con- tributed the use of his beautiful theatre free of charge, THEATRE FRANCAIS. “Les Inutiles,” the comedy produced at the Theatre Frangais last evening, was the least interesting picco yet played by the excellont company of this theatre, Tho dinlogue was dull for a Freuch comedy and macy of tho scenes dragged, This, however, may bo owing to the fact that the actors were not well up in their parts, M, Bilherin Paul found a part that suited him very well, but the fino talents of M. Martel were wasted in the part of Henri, Mlle. Le Bianc played the homely heiress with consider- able feeling, but Mile. Ysayo had little to do as Pauline, In the third act Mile, Leblauc sang a few bars of that famous song of Alfrod de Musset, beginning :— Si yous croyex que Je vais dito, Que j’0se aimer, que Jose almer. just enough to let the audience see that she has a pleasant and sympathetic voice. Ou Saturday and Monday evenings “Les Dominos Roses” will be produced, go that our thoatre goers will have an opportunity of comparing the original with the English version now being played at tho Union Square Theatre. THE VENTUROLI BENEIIT. Who could imagine a dry goods or other merchant giving the proceeds of a day’s sales for the benefit of @ brother tradesman, or a doctor or a lawyer dovoting a large fee to aid a brother professional? If sucha thing was proposed the one who proposed tt would be looked upon asa lunatic fit for the asylum, Yet it has become quite a thing of course that the dramatic profession shall at any time give its services in aid of a needy brother o1 er, oP, for the matter of that, any public charity. It reflects credit upon tho profession that it is their well known kindness of hoart that makes thiq the case. Members of the theatrical profession are Among the hardest worked class of the community, yet thoy always respond to the call of charity, not only with thetr money, but with thoir time and work.

DR, TUCKER. The fourth of the course of popular lectures with which the students of the Femaic Normal College have lately beev regaled was delivered yesterday by the Rev, Dr. William J, Tucker, of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church. In the large chupel of the in- stitution the pupils wero assembied to hear the dis. coarse, aud in front of tho bright parterro of youth wore seated & number of distinguished visitors. Ex- Mayor Wickham was there, with Commissioner Wood and several of tho Board of Education and Polico Commissioner Wheeler, with other gentlemen inter- ested In educational interests. Dr. Tacker, in opening, stated that he proposed not to essay @ formal lecture, but merely to wave a talk with bia bearers on the meaning of **The Intellectual Life.” The term was one much bandied about, much used in books and much affocted vy some people, but {te real significance was not always underatood or ap- preciated, Ho said:—The tntolleciual life 1s the back. ground pon which ali protessional work 1s execuied. There jw a certain movement within us from which we derive inspiration and streagth for work of this kind, It 48 active in some, in others it 1s almost dormant, but 1% bas a certain development in most of us, This inteilectual life, however, is limited tn tte sense, 1t does not cover the whole idea of brain work, Hence Whipple, in his recent artic on American Ii ure, makes & distinction which has @ certain bearing on tho caso ip pot, Alperican literature, be holds, is a fair test for the capacity of the American brain. Some people speak of it as such and make comparisons unlavorable tous, [618 unlair, however, lor not in letiers bas the American brain produced its greatest results, althougd there it bas much to show, Lt runsin other grooves iu commerce, 1 invention, in the markets, its power 1s best exbibited, and shrodgh ail of them 1t 1s didused. Yhe great advantage of the intellectual life 1s the power to discriminate, This it affords by enlarging the range of choice and giving tho power to reject as wellas w accopt, A facility tor stadying human pature is most evjoyed by people who sre devoted to business parsuits und have 8 dealings With men as are calculated Lo expose the beat of 6ach one’s nature, From this power much enjoy- ment can be derived, for 11 induces a sense of being able to appreciate justly and take things for what they are Worth, As abundauce 14 tue sign ol wealth, so 18 digcrinination the sign of mind. ‘here is mach need of this power in the formative state of American society. 80 many people there are who trade apon the ignorance of their follows, so many who deal in Specious theories, thas one requires a great deal of discrimination to afford him protection from them, A SHAKE IN ALL THINGS, Another advantage the intellectual life bestows Is a right of ownership in tho bost things, It ts an abso- lute law that we can only appropriate thoughis and ideas by the appreciation ot them. Take the example ot a pickers, Jor justunce, One man owus it by pur chase, Ho has paid for it, and the matorial, the can- vas, the colors are his, but not the appreciation of its beauties, not the inspirauion of its thought, Another man, without owning it, Jooks upon it and drinks in irom his comempiation a deep draught of pure epjoyment, He soos in it the idea which the master intended to embody, he cutchos tho significance of every ine, be perceives a meaning in every unt That man tas w reali ttle to the ownership of u c= Pp ture, and one productive of more pleasure than any other, in the inteliectaal life in this way there 18 @ Common Ownership of thoughts, aud Lis tonds to bring one into ft ig 3 with tho minds whence they emaoated, Charies ingsley upon his death bed spoke of his communiug with Milton and Shake- speare and other great men of letters, and so in all cases parvicipation in men’s thoughts brings us, a8 it were, into iriendly relations with them, Again intellectual ife gives us a new and fresh world to live in, It ts the feeling of many that this world of ours 18 tireso tre and worn out, but the intelectoal lite develops in it much that 18 govel and beautilul, but which by somo is never seen, It snows the world always changing as At passes through successive years, It shows tual bis- tory is notulu, for every generation interprets it for Hasoif, it shows haman oature undor different aspects and jast us variously treated by poet and noveiisy And jo the material universe 1t makes new worlds riso botore us in succession as human science deveiops When the law of the motion of the hi bodies was discovered ® now universe was ope: in one way of thought, The discovery of the spec+ trum analysis roveals another, And #0 it is through- out.

Charles P. Daly presided. In his remarks preliminary to introducing the lectorer of the evening Judge Daly stated that since the last mecting of the society Henry M. Stanley bad returned from his journey over the Western Coast of Africa, ‘This Journey of Mr. Stanley’s was the moat remarkable one on record, inasmuch as be had solved three very Great geographical problems by his exploration of Vietoria Niyanza, of the country south of the Albert Niyauza and his discovery that the Lualava of Living- stone t the castern portion of the Congo down to the soa, “In this connection It is proper to aay,” said Judge Daly, “that it is impossible to es- timate too highly the value of these discoverica, They the most remarkable journeys on record, and the intrepid and indomitable explorer has earced for him- self a worla wide celobrity, aud the name of Henry M, Stanley, woose sugacity and intrepidity Lave achieved such important results, will forever be identified with the country 1n which be has made such wondertul dis- coveries,”” A very flae likeness of Mr. Sta: by acelebrated Spanish artist bas been pro: society, und now adorns the parlor of the Geographi- cal Society, Mr. Stanley himself, Mr Daly said, was on his way home, after having achieved bia victories, and in good time he would himself be present to give ® graphic account of bis great discoveries, Rev.

AN UNHEALTHY LOCALITY, Since bis return to America, the lectarer said, he was asked by bis friends if he did not bave a good time durivg his sojourn in Palestine. He could assure those irienus that the lifo of an explorer in the Holy Land waa tull of peril, The danger arose principaliy trom the unhealthy nature ot the climate and the hose ubiy of the Mogiew tubabitauts and the wild Bedouins who {habit the east side ol the Jordan. On the eastside of the Valley of the Jordan tho air was stitling, tue Atmosphere was tinpregnated with miasmic poisou; 1t Wis, iu fact, a strange and dangerous and inhospitable valley, instances might be cited to prove how dun- gerous to health and tite was the malarial fever arising from these low lands, As @case in point au eathu- siastic Irishman in 1835 attempted to explore the Jordan and the Deud S&S He succeeded in reaching Jericho, at which place ho succumbed to the unhenithy atmosphere and his omaciated framo was carried to Jerusalem, where he died, For all this the valley was rich in vegetation, and if properly irrigated and under a careful system of agriculture, it could support a population of 4,000,000 souls, ‘The lecturer next described the mounds in the plains of Shittim and the Vatloy of the Jara Ho Said that 16 was a traditional belief among the natives that it was here Solomon had his brass foundries where the iwplements for the temple wore manutac- tured. these large pottery mounds wero excavated the lecturor was of opinion that important discoveries would be made, The site of the Cities of the Piains was aext explained, und tho nistory of their destruction, as related in the Bible, wag scien- tGeally ascertained to be not improbable, He was particularly interested in tho remains of the Roman roads which intersected the country, giving evidence of the wonderful civilization of the ancient Romans, Many of their roads and bridges were yet in a bigh Stato of presorvution, and the ruins of the towns and villages built by the Romans still remained cart- ous relics of bygone ages, Toerect these roads and bridges and theatres required the skill of competent engineers anda high order of eivinzation.

Mr. Francis 0. French, a member of the syndicate, was expected to be present to deliver a lecture on that sub- Ject, but was unavoidably absent. He, Lowevor, sent to the club a work on ‘‘Monoy and Legal Tendor,” by H. R. Linderman, Director of the Mint The twenty- first chapter, ou the propositions for the remonotiza- tion of silver, be said, expressed his views on the sub- Ject, In his letter to the club regretting his absence, Which was read by the Secretary, Mr. Edwin A. Pratt, Mr. French denounced tne Silver bili now before Con- gress in the following terms:— “This suvject bas aiso got into Congress this week, in a shape Which makes it cminently proper for dis- cussion by the club, because to make silver an une Mmited tender with iree coinage to the owners of bull- jon is the most impudent of the recevt attempts to legislate for a class at the expense of the whole.

There ls already discussion as to who will make the most dollars by the rng 4 discovered country, and fears are expressed that the English will ges the beticr of us, because their tree trade system will enable them to take reauily the products of the country; but with Us those products will often have to be reiused on ac count of our heavy import duties.

[From the Lonaon Times, October 24.) I was a saloon pussenger by the ship Jessore, Caps tain Louis Murphy, a magnificent vessel of 2,500 tons burden, one of the Liverpool Lue of tron clippers, and considered to be ove of the finest vessels afloat, She was bound for Melbourne with a miscellancous cargo, consisting of a large proportion of iron, priny cipally tn the form of railway metals, There were twelvo other saloon passengers, including a lady and gontieman and thotr family of seven children; seven- (wen occupants of the steorage, a crow of thirty-one men all told, and three stowaways, making a total of sixty-four souls on board. We were towed out of the Morsey, where wo had been lying at anchor overnight, on the morning of Sunday, the 7th inst, All proceeded woll tll tho fol- lowing Wednesday, on the morning of which day, at ten minutes to four, 1 was aroused from a sound sleop by hearing a tremendous crash, followed by consider. able uproar on dock. I at once left my berth, and having made a busty toilet immediately rushed on deck, and found te my dismay that our ship had sus tained a violent collision, having been struck alt the main rigging on the starboard side; that sho waa rapidly filling, and that we were tast sinking, On reaching the poop I was with dilliculty able to discerm through the darkness, which at this timo was very dense, the red light of a vessel, which atter+ ward proved to be that of the steamer Consett, ot London, bound in bullast from Antwerp to Montreal, avd on taking a hasty survey of out decks, which were now almost completely submerged, I wituessed such un appalling scene as | trust it will never agai be my lot to gaze upov. Women were shrieking; others were seckiug aud calliug out for their relatives and triends, and amid tho terribie panic whiet: prevailed could be distinctly heard the well known voice of our bravo captain commanding all pase Scugeré und members of the crew to stand aside uatil ail the women and children bad been salely lowered into the boats, never for a moment sthiaking of his own salety or attempting in any way to rescue himselt irom bis perilous position, I have the Greatest possibio satisfaction in asserting thas bis orders wero obeyod without the least hesitation or deiay. Indeed, his conduct and that of bis chict officer, Mr. Re Wearing, ut this eritical time are worthy of record and’ are boyond all praise, lt is generaliy admitted by the whole of the passungers tuat had ts not been for the calm and dolberate way in which our brave captain commanded his men, thus tending in a great measure to allay the panic and inspire us with hope, many would nave fouad a watery grave, Whiie tn this pre- carious situation and having two little children in my who were by the kindly aid of a fellow pas- Mr. H.

But on looking over our sbip’s side l perceived, to my intense joy, Ubat two of oar beats bud been lowered, into th first of which were sufely pinced all the wom and children, other being speedily Milled with living human freight, Both boats were immediately despateued to the Consett, which was tying station- ary at a distance of about two miles Irom tue acene of the catasirophe, Fortunately there was nota very heavy sea running, or the boats, whieh happily dts charged their precious cargo in all safety, must have been swaniped, and many fives consequently lost, Wile our crew were engaged in lowering the two re muining boats Captain Pringle, of the Consett, had sent out one of his boate to our assistance, in whieh 1 was succossial in gesting a piace About this ume we reached the Consett, bere self ine terribly leaky and unsafe condition, and the captain of which troated with the greatest kindness and courtesy, and paid the kindost atten. tion to our immediate wants. Severui faint stroaks of light on the distant horizon indicated to our anxiout souls the approach of the dawn of another day, and twenty minutes later, when the Jossore became vist bie to us, we saw that brave Captain Murphy, who ro mained at his post to the very jast moment, hi compelled to abandon bis vessel, and had only just time to get clear of her when the boiler of the donkoy engine, used for raising our anchor, barst with « loud report, and shortly atierward—via., at iftecn minutos evening.
