Liverpool Tithes, paid his addresses to the daughter of a person above him in position, but was admitted as her suitor. Within a month of the present time he called one evening at the house of the lady's lather, and obtained permis sion for her to walk with him in the Buburbs of Glasgow.

He took her to a hotel, where she drank one cup of coffee. She remembered nothing of that fatal cup until she found herself in a strange room. She rang the bell, and to her horror she discovered that she was in a certain hotel in Belfast, (Ireland,) having been brought there from on board a steamer by her betrayer who stated that she was his wife and was insensible from sea sickness. He remained all night, but went away ih tbe morning, discharging his bill, saying he would return again. It is needless to say he did not.

Tbe unfortunate girl was without any meane, having nothing but the clothes: Bbe wore, and a gold chain about her neck. This she sold, and procured a passage to Liverpool, where she was met by a gentleman who knew her. He being a friend of her father's she conlessed all to him, but expressed the greatest horror at the idea of returning home, though 'n the most wretched state, The gentleman kindly supported her present passing neceEstiesi and it is hoped will be the means of returning her to her Iriends. Fanatical Outrage. On Monday the 28th ult when the cars arrived at Salem, Ohio, from Pittsburgh, a crowd had gathered here, in consequence of a telegraphic despatch from Pittsburg stating that a slave girl was in the traiafcf carB with her master and mistress.

When the cars stopped a big negro stepped into them, accosting the girl asked her if she was a slave. She made no reply, but her mistres answered that she was. Thereupon the black ruffian seized her, and she clinging to her mistress's neck, begged most piteously not to be torn away but the black fellow violently tore her away, and iu the effort bruised the lady's neck soverely, and carried the child out of the car on one arm, and flourished a revolver in the other hand, amidst the plaudits of the excited crowd. The master ot the girl offered to go before the proper authorities, and execute free, if the girl wished to be free, leaving the choice to herself. But the mob would not allow it.

The poor child's screams could be heard above the tumult, begging to go back to her mother who belongs to the same owners. The master's life being loudly threatened he was compelled to proceed with the train leaving'the poor little girl in the hanas of her ruffian captors. Charge of Stealing a House. Philip J. Riesdorph, an old veteran of 70 summers, was arrested this morning, charged with stealing a horse valued at $125.

He came from the West on a canal boat, to take charge of some horses. At 3 o'clock this morning he got up, as he said, to feed the horses. Upon going to the stable, some three hours later, the owner found one of his horses gone. Riesdorph was traced to Bloom ingrove, and arrested. The horse was found in a farmer's 'stable, at Bloomingrove.

The old man cried like a child when arrested. He says that never before was any charge brought against him. Rather an old 'un to commence in suoh disgraceful business. ilbany Trans. A Dry Time Sixty Years Ago.

The steamer Eivha arrived at the Levee, yes terday, bringing particulars of the terrible ex plosion of the Timour, No.

2, by which many persons were Kiilec, ana many more wounded. A dispatch was received here on Saturday, from Jefferson City, stating that the Timour had exploded, killing two persons. The facts are much worse, aud another page is added to the book of distressing accidents, by which orowds of human beings are launched, without a moment's warning, into eternity. The Timour left onr wharf last Thursday for Weston and St. Joseph.

On Saturday morning about one o'clock, while wooding at Edwards' wood yard, about three miles below Jefferson City, the explosion occurred. We have heard no cauBe assigned for the accident. All three of the boilers burst simultaneously, while the boat was lying at shore. The number of killed and wounded was not correctly ascertained at tbe time the Elvira left, though some asserted that fifteen victims fell while others represented the number of killed aud missing as high as twenty. We hope subsequent reBultB will prove the case cot quite so serious.

Many were blown into the river. Among tbe victims whose bodies were recovered, and whose names are ascertained, is that of the pilot, Mr. Dix, brother of the captain. Mr. Dix's body was brought down on the Elvira to St.

Charles, whence it will be taken to Bridgeton tor interment. The bodies of five deck hands were recovered, nanieB not mentioned. The second mate and a striker, both badly wounded, were brought down on the Elvira. Several others brought down on the same boat were more or less hurt; one fdeck hand severely. Mr.

White, merchant, of Roanoke, and passenger, was badly scalded. Three children ot Mr. Thomas Eckley, the aecond clerK of the Timour, were scalded; one severely. A number of others among the officers crew and passengers, escaped wita slight injuries. Tbere were but few passengers avoard, either in the cabin or on deck.

The boat is a complete wreck having been shattered to atoms by the explosion. She sunk shortly alter the accident in six fset water. Her cargo is also seriously damaged. Since writing the above, Captain Dix has arrived in the city and confirms all the material points in this statement. The beat had just made the landing, and the hands were carrying in the first wood when the explosion occurred.

A number of them were on the forecastle, and near the boilers piling the wood at the moment. A number were also ashore, and izuzn latter escaped, while those at the lorecastle and at the Bides of the boilers were killed or blown overboard to a man. Capt. Dix had just ascended to the boiler deck, and was in the act of walking to the clerk's office when the volcano beneath his feet sent the whole forward part of the boat shivering into the air. His escape was miraculous.

Mr. Chas. Dix, his brother, one of the pilots, was in the Texas or pilot house, and received injuries of which he soon died. Mr. McPherson the first clerk, escaped without serious injury.

Mr. Eckley, tbe second clerk, was croESing the forecastle with three of his children, all of whom were blown overboard and fortunately saved from drowning. The children were severely injured, and one, if not two of them dangerously. There were perhaps five or six cabin passengers, all of whom escaped without material injury, except Mr. White spoken of previously.

Capt. Dix does not recollect the names of any of the victims all killed missing were believed to have been firemen and deck hands, who were shipptd in this majority of them but a tey hours before the boat left port, and their names if taken down' are iu the possession of Mr. McPhearson, first clerk. The first and second engineers escaped with slight burns. Charles McCord, the first, was asleep in the Texas, and fell with a portion of the wreck into the river.

The second and a striker duty. The striker was badly burned; the second received one or two slight scratches. We have heard it stated that the explosion was cause.cl by a want or water in the oouers a very common, and nine times in ten the only true cause ofexplosions. It iB said there was little steam, no water, but any quantity of gas in the boilers, as the appearance of the wreck and the burned and crisped bodies of the unfortunate victims too plainly showed. The shock was awful; all three boilers going off at the same instant, and not a fragment of eitnerten feet in length could be found.

The Timour was a serviceable but a very unfortunate boat, valued about 15,000, with marine risks to a considerable amount; but as all policies have a ciause exempting ihe underwriters from responsibility wheu the loss is caused by explosion, it is more than probable the owners ot the Timour will never receive a dollar for their boat. The cargo, which does not come under the Bame provision, will be looked to by parties interested. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. We gather tbe following particulars of this terrible explosion, a Bhort account of which we gave a day or two ago. The boat was wooding at tbe time oho blew up, at Edward's wood yard, a short distance below Jefferson City.

All three of the boilers exploded at once, seat? tering death and desolation on all sides, and making a complete wreck of all that part of the steamer lying forward of the wheels. It is im possioie to say wno or now many were Killed. There had been no register of deck bauds kept, and, doubtless, there are some who have been blown into eternity whose names will never be heard again, and whose fate will always remain a mystery with the circle of relatives and friends from whiph they will be missed. We have learned that tbe complement of hands which the boat had at leaving this port was 45 or 4G, and that of these but 25 have returned. The following is the list of the dead as far as discovered Wm.

Kelcher, Edward O'Mahony, D. Connors. Fleming and Charles Dix. All but the latter were deck hands. Mr.

Dix was pilot of the poat and a brother to Capt. Dix. The wounded are as follows Patrick Finney, deck band, badly scalded Edward hand, scalded three children of Mr. Eckley, the second clerk, scalded; Mr. White, a merchant of Roanoak, scalded the second mate had a striker Bcalded, and brought down to this city and placed in the Sisters' hospital.

Quite a number of officers, deck hands, firemen and passengers, were injured more or less severely, wbose names we cannot learn. Fortunately there were but few passengers on board. The boat was BO badly injured that she sunk in six or Beven feet of water soon after the explosion, carryiog down a valuable cargo which must be more or less damaged. The body of the pilot, Mr. Dix, was brought down to St.

Charles on board the steamer Elvira, and taken off to be interred at Bridgeton. 4 number of the wounded were taken to Jefferson City where eyery attention was paid them. The cause of this most terrible accident has not as yet been explained. St Louis Dem. Brooklyn City Railuoad.

The City Railroad Company having completed all their arrange ments on tbe line to Greenwood Cemetery, the oars have commenced running the entire distance this day. When iUs considered that the distance from Fulton ferry to Greenwood Cemetery is all of four miles, and that the charge for the trip is only four cents, we cannot but think that it will be but barely remunerating. We are ot opinion that we shall have an influx of visitors from the adjacent cities to visit the "Pere la chaise" ol America for such it really is for in point of rural and aquatic scenery, it surpasses all the other cemeteries in America. The waees of the drivers in the employ of the City Railroad Company have been reduced from SI 50 to $1 25 per day, to go into effect this day. In the present state of the markets and of high rents it is not likely that the drivers will save much extra money out of their wages for luxuries.

The Spanish mail Bteamer and three frigates arrived in Havana on the 28th, bringing news from Cadiz to the 8th mri fth.mt 1.000 trooriB for the Island. Much gratification was expressed by 8 Habaneros at the aDDOintmeut of General Concha, as Captain General, and great preparations were, on foot for his reception.

Yesterday paeBed over quietly in Una city, Dir they had a general fight in New York, growing out of the street preaching excitement, an account oi which we copy trom the Sun. The Common Council meets for the first time since the summer vacation this evening.

An unusual quantity of business and buncombe must have accumulated in the interim. The Knickerbocker learns that Gov.Seymour who has been spending a short time at Wes1 Point, is quite unwell. Several of his friends went down the river yesterday afternoon. The Public Schools open to day, and the juveniles resume their studies. We publish full particulars of the explosion and loss of life alluded to in our second edition of Saturday.

A New Public School Home. The building erected on the corner of Concord and Navy streets for School No. 14 has just been completed, and will be opened for the term this morning in common with the other schools of the city. The edifice is on an entirely novel plan, and from an examination of it on Saturday, when it was thrown open for the inspection of the public we think it compares favorably, if it does not in some respects surpass in its arrangements any of the buildings devoted to similar purposes in the city. The material of which it IS Constructed IS brick.

Ic i8 two stories in height, and in dimensions it is 97 feet on Concord street, and on Navy street it extends a like number of feet, while in depth it is 35 feet. The first floor is designed for the Primary Department, and consists of nine rooms, which are separated by sliding doors, with 22 feet openings, with hat rooms, closets provided with washing apparatus, The second floor is intended for the principal Department, and is similarly arranged as that of the lower story. The basement is eight feet in height, and is divided off into library and reception rooms. The furnace for heating the building with hot air is also fixed iu its appropriate position in this apartment, while the large remaining space is paved, and fitted up as a play ground, with amDle room for nhvsical exercise, and is also provided with all the necessary out door arrange ments demanded for the convenience of the pupils. Each ward throughout the building is provided with air ducts for the admission of fresh air, with a similar number of conductors connecting with four of Emerson's Patent Ventilators, on the roof.

The doors of the building all swing outward thus in case of fire or other emergency, the place can be depleted of its population in a very ehori space of time. Every provision to avoid accident has been made, and with this view the stairs and banisters have been so constructed that a recurrence of the deplorable results ot imperfection in thisreBpect in one of the ward schools in New York, cannot by any possibility happen here. The building is in the shape of a triangle, and the position of the principal in each department is such that he can view the whole school. The whole number of seata 1b 978, and the design is to accommodate as many pupils. Of which 538 are in the primary, and 440 in the principal departments.

All the children are provided with desks with the exception of those' in the infant classes. The number of teachers in the principal department is nine, consisting of the principal) two first assistants and six assistants, and a similar number and division in the other department. The building was constructed under the superintendence of the committee of the Board ot Education, having the matter in charge, and is on an entirely new and improved plan. The architects are Messrs. King Kellum, The subject of the new Armory will probably come before the Common Council to night.

It is an important subject, as it involves the accommodations of the military and a large expense to the city, has been fifing all last week on the subject, with a view ta influence the action of the Aldermen. We presume they will not think of adopting any other course but that marked out by the "power behind the throne" that works the bellows of the mighty organ alluded to. The difficulty environing the Bubject is the selection of a site; the committee having selected a location corner of Myrtle avenue and Ryersoo street, and the military compa nies of the city objeoting to Us being so far removed from the central part of the city. The arguments on both sides will probably come np to night, when we will be able to judge of their respective force and conclusiveness. Opinions op the Catholic Press.

Mr. Thos. Sweeny, of Boston, has in press a pamphlet containing tbe opinions of the Catholic press of this country upon Brownson's Review. We hear that but few Catholic journals in the United States approve of Mr. Brownson's course, and a large majority of tbe number are quite decided in their opposition to it.

It was probable, tho' not quite ertain, that Austrian troops were entering Li Itle Wallachia. The Crimea expedi.

tion was still postponed. Some bit tee feeling has been excited in England gale Kussiau government to the United States. The London Times of the 21st August, says: "The at sack on the combined forces upon the forts of Bomarsund has been terminated with success. Although full details ot this operation have not yet reached us, it is understood that a telegraphic despatch has been received at the Admiralty stating that the garrison of 2,000 Russians had surrendered to the allies; and that the loss on either side was inconsiderable. The capitulation of the third of the principal fort, to which the name ot Bomarsund more strictly belongs, took place about noon of the 15th, just eight days after the landing of the troops.

The round forts or towers behind Bomarsund had been reduced two or three days before the surrender of the principal work Fort Tzee having been captured by the French, and Fort Notlich by the British forces. "These forts are said to have had a garrison of only 120 men each, ot whom 115 were taken prisoners by the British party, which lost in this affair Captain Worttee ley, a deserving officer, and four or five men. Fort Tzee suffered far more severely it seems that no less than 50 of the Russian garrison were killed, 30 wounded, and only 25 taken prisonars unhurt. We are unacquainted with the loss of French party in this affair." Some accounts limit the number of prisoners to 1,500, and it is generally conceded that the honor ot the victory belongs to the French. On Sunday the 20th, the guns of the Invalides announced to the Parisians the first victory of the war.

A British officer in the Baltic writes to the London Herald "The French ure taking everything out of our hands, and I grieve to say that we are commanded by two unquestionable old women, the second old being infinitely worse (spite of his noise and science) than the first. There is a melancholy 'What snail I tone aoout old Napier which is most distressing. There is not a.man in the fleet from highest to lowest whose blood doeB not boil at our inactivity. Here we are with our scientific men, new projectiles, about us, with captains, officers and men eager for something to do, obliged to look on a handful of French troops bravely doing the work which our good fortune had cut out for us."

Yesterday afternoon, as usual, several Btreet preachers held forth on the Battery and from the steps of the City and about 5 o'clock, a large party of Wide Awakes," who had been listening to a preacher on the Battery started in procession for the by some police men, but re they were emerging from one of the gates of the battery a party of Irish rushed upon them with knives, pistols, and iu a moment James Wood, a peaceable citizen waB dangerous' ly etabbed in the left shoulder and side. About a dozen pistol shots were fired by either party, but fortunately, but ons man was injured. His name could not be ascertained as Mb friends bore him quickly away.

The police and Wide Awakes finally succeeded in scattering the Irish and then marched up to the Park, but the Irish had again formed, and on reaching the Park commenced a series of assaults and running fights. The police soon succeeded in clearing the steps of the City Hall of the thousands on and about them, and the preacher, with a part of the crowd, proceeded up Broadway, he preaching as they walked. Another party started up Chatham Btreet, and still another down Centre street, in all of which there was more or less fighting. As the day closed, the parties finally dispersed, the police having arrested seven per sons, all of whom were locked up by Justice Osborne for examination. Some of those arrested were Wide Awakes," who had been guilty of overt acts.

Mr. Wood, the person who was stabbed, was conveyed to his residence, No. 304 Eighth avenue. Cholera. The London Times of the 22d has a leading article on the cholera in the East.

It enys, the cholera was still raging, there every prospect ot the mortality continuing at a nearly equal rate. Ten or fifteen thousand are probably not too high an estimate of the dead and disabled up to the moment of embarkation. The Times dwells on the subject of the melan" choly alid inglorious loss ot life, and the extreme discouragement ol the camps. It inquires what are we gaining by delay which is more deadly than battles. The result is woree than if we had lost 10,000 men in capturing Sebastipol a month ago when our arrangements were complete, whilst the unfortunate dead have been deprived of the lory of the inscription, "Sebastopol," upon their tombs.

On Tuesday evening a party of young men, entered the Alleghany douse, at Alleghany city, and called for drinks, but on account of some previous difficulty Mr. Ginniss, the' landlord, refused to serve them. One of the party named Robert Campbell, then picked up a chair and smashed one of the front windows, when Mr. McGinniss came out with a pistol, which he fired at Campbell, but the ball entered the back of Hugh Palmer, another of the party, inflicting it is thought, quite a dangerous wound. McGiuniss has delivered hinmelf up to the Mayor of Alleghany.

a may or uamondge, a few days ago, sent a domestic to the grooer's for some oil. The next day the grocer received an order to come and take the oil away, as they could not make it burn. He was somewhat surprised at this, as the article he had sent was the best in the market. The clerk accordingly went to the lady's house, and was told all the particulars of the efforts to make it burn, and of the darkness that followed. He asked to see the oil.

The can was produced by the lady, but Biddy, the "help," cried out, the other can, mem when it was found that the lamps had been filled with Stewart's New York syrup, which accounted for the obstinacy of the lamps in refusins to burn.

A Little Husband and a Litte Wife. The Sandusky Register is responsible lor this. Two little children a boy and a girl, aged four and three years respectively were missed by their families, and search made everywhere for them, but in vain. The day passed, and considerable alarm existed. Persons were out in all directions, and the bsll ringer had been sent for, when passing a thicket of bushes kin the garden, the mother thought she heard low voices near.

Palling away the leaves, there were the truants with their night clothes on, locked in one another's arms, and very comfortably stowed away for the night. The precocious lovers were stirred from their nest, but the boy expressed the utmost indignation; lor, Baid he, "the hired man had married me and sissy, and that bush house was his'n, and they were goin' to live there till it rained." The denouement was so comical that it was concluded to let the babies be married until they had a falling out, which occurred the next day, and now they live apart separated man and wife. The Case of Conscience No Murder. W.H. Pancoast, the Sheriff of Burlington, N.

says the Philadelphia Ledger of Saturday last, has been investigating the circumstances of the supposed murder in that county, as confessed to by John Mueller, who died in prison shortly after hia committal, in consequence of his confession. He went into the vicinity where the murder was said to have been committed, and conversed wilh Mr. Soot, in whose employment Mueller eaid that he was at the time. He said there was a fight such as was described by Mueller, about a year ago, but he knew of no such man, at least by that name. There was a fight between Meyer and Mulheiser, but the latter was not killed, and was in the neighborhood about two weeks, and obtained some money that was due him, after which he lelt.

The matter remains a mystery, and as the poor man is now dead it will perhaps never be solved. He appeared so sincere, and told bo connected a story, that it is thought he muBt actually have believed himself guilty.
