The Baltimoro Gazette, of Monday, the 26th in stant, has the following report of tho foundering of tho steamship Kingfisher, on her passage from Baltimoro for this port : LOSS OF THE StEAMSUTP "GlNQFKHEK, OF THE BALTiMonE and CnABLESTON Lnn*.-The steam Bhip Liberty, Rollins, master, arrived hore ahort ly aftir noon yesterday, from Havana, via Key Weet, with merchandise and passengers to H.

From tho report of the chief officor, R. B. Boaos, of tho dis aster, tho following is taken : . "The ship left Baltimore at 2 P. M. on tho 10th instant; at 6.40 A.

M. were pickod up by tho United States steam frigate Susauehanna, ant taken to Havana, where they arrivod on the 17th instant*," The boat which first left the Bhip, having four of the crew aboard, had not boen hoard from at the time tho Liberty loft Havana. The namos of these men are : A. Benn, Charleston; Gable Chew, Savannah: M. Hardy and John Dawson, Baltimore. When tL ? captain, officers, crew and passengers reached Havana, they wero entirely destitute of money, ?te, having saved nothing from the ill fated ship. The following is a list of the passengers, officers and crow of tho Kingfisher, who arrived hore yos terday in tho steamship Liberty : Passenger?-Mies M. E. Smith, Baltimoro; Mr. S. L.

FRANKFonT-oN-TiiE-MAiN-, 18GC.-I havo travollcd through Gormany from tho extromo South to tho Baltic or North Boa, from Borun to tho Rhino, "nil havo (lIbo visited all of bor principal cities. In this long journey I havo ondoavorod to koop my oyca and oars wido open, to seo aB much of the country as I could. But to rocord the thousand and ono objects that prosont themsolves in Buch a journey is not on easy matter; I noto down tho principal objects of interest to be digested and written out when I havo moro loiauro. I liko tho honest, opon hcarted German pooplo, and have studiod carefully their manner.-., habits, customs, and examined their system of education, commerces, agrioulturo, manufacturing and railroads. I havo reviewed two of ho mostpoworful annie., iu Europo, standing in battlo array. I am now in tho far-famod city of Frank fort, just in timo to witness its last free days. Tho torriblo scones and trialB through which this old froo city ha? rocontly passed, and its historical as sociations, having been for moro than noven hun dred years a froo town, and during a long poriod tho capital of tho great German Confederation all tbeso circumstancos ronder tho city, at this timo, peculiarly interesting. Hero tho eloction and crowning of the Emperors of Germany have takon placo for oonturios. I'ranfort has boon tho soat of the largest banking houBos in the world. It was in a narrow alloy of Fraukfort that the founder of tho great banking hourn, of Rothschild was born. Yonng I_o__.so_t_d bogan lifo without monoy or family infiucnoo; but he possosscd in dustry, energy, oconomy and honoBty-qualifica tions which insuro bucccsb. It is estimated that tho difforont governments in Europo owo tho Rornscmi.Ds at bousand millions of dollars 1 In tho immonso business transactions of this houso, thoy look moro carefully into tho security of tho negotiation than tho largo profits. Tho troatmont of Frankfort by tho Prussian Gonorals has excited universal indignation in Europo. Gen. Reedeb demanded from tho Mayor thirty million florins, with a threat that if the monoy was not forthcom ing in twenty-four hours, the post?nico and tolc graph would bo closod, and tho city guarded to provent any articles of food from entering. Thoso domands wcro mado as tho right of war, which, after all, is but tho right of tho strong over tho weak, and should only bo practiced in barbarous countries. But war, in ita most modified usages, is nothing but a spocios of barbarism. No Christian nation should engage in it. Mayor Feuleu paid six million florins, and liquidated tho balance of the un justifiablo demand by hanging himsolf to tho bed post. The excitement was so great in the oity, the coffin was removed to the comotery at night, and the funeral took place at 4 o'clock A. M., instead of 9, as advertised. Notwithstanding this precaution tho concourso of pooplo was immonso. Nearly o very ono here has Prussian soldiers bil leted upon his promises ; ono family was required to provide for two hundrod, bocauso the ladies throw flowers from their windows upon tho Aus trian troops and brick bats upon tho Prussians. The history of all wars prove that the women aro moro spirited and vindictive than tho mon. Tho fair daughters would bo bettor employed in strew ing olivo branches, for war makes for thom any thing but beda of rosos, and doprivos many a one of a lifetime companion. Germany, from the days of JUMOS C_esab, has occupied a prominent posi tion in the history of Europo. The Romans ex tended thoir conquests ovor Spain, Franco and England, but never over tho Fatherland. It is situated in the contre of Europo, and in length, from tho Adriatic to tho North Sea, 750 milos ; in breadth, from Bolgium to Russia, C50 miles, and contains 50,000 square miles, with a population of Bovonty minions-in tho now organization, being protty equally divided botweon Prussia and Aus tria, and thoir allies. In nearly overy quarter of Germany oxtensivo chains of mountains aro to bo found, but nono of them will comparo in height, or boauty of scenory, to thoso of Switzerland. Tho most elevated mountains I saw wero in Bavaria, thoir summitB boing whito with snow oven in August. I was surprised to find in this old country immonso forosts of timbor, which aro a ______ of great wealth. Moro than a fourth of Gormany ia oovored with forests. Tho climate varies with the elevation of tho different localities, but noithor the heat nor cold ?b extrome. During my journey thus far through tho continent of Europo, the thormomotor wa3 not abovo C5 dogrees. Gor many is well watered ; I found it particularly bo, as it rained 57 days out of 60. Tho system of agriculture is botter in Southorn than in Northern Germany. At tho South the Napoleonic code is introduced, the largo estates boing generally divided into small farms, which aro owned by thoso who cultivate thom. Food and living is consequently much cheaper in Austria than Prussia. The country is not in as high a stato of cultivation as I expected to find it, though I saw it under very unfavorable circumstances, as nearly tho whole of tho malo population has boen for several months withdrawn from agricultural pursuits. If tho pooplo of Gormany would cult vftto poaco, instead of engaging in wara of thirty years' duration, tho situation of tho daughters would bo greatly changed for tho better. Upon them tho most of tho drudgeries of tho farm do volvo-such as ploughing, hoeing, raking, reap ing, threshing, otc. They aro ovon made beaBts of burdon. It is not an uncommon Bight to soo a delicate femalo harnessed beside a dog, trudging along tho public roads through rain and mud, pull ing a heavily loaded cart. Thoy also carry heavy baskets strapped on their backs, filled with market vegetables. Tho women in this old country havo a hard, hard time; they guratly outnumber the men, who oinigrato or aro killed in battlo. Tho oonsequenoo-Rlormoniam ia practiced on a largo soalo. There aro, howovor, many finely educated ladies hero. It ia the frequent wars that ronder the situation of tho women in Germany so hard. In tho Crimean, tho Anglo-Indian, and tno Italian wars, all of which occurred botwoen 1853 and I860, moro than n million of men perished. In tho Crimean war alono, whioh lasted only two and a half years, Europo lost six hundred thousand men. The amount of monoy swallowed ? up in the almost porpotual European wars is past computation. In the rocont suovt etrugglo bo - tween Prussia and Austria, moro than two hun i drod thousand men wero killed in battlo and diod from disease. Tho cholera has mado sad havoo ? among tho soldi oro. More persons dio from dia , oaaoB contracted in camp than aro killed in battle. ; But ono need not eomo to Europo to witnoss tho . horrors of war. Our own Bunny Booth, whioh was, . six years ago, the most prosperous country in tho world, has boon dolngod in blood, and her pooplo . roduoed to poverty. This cruel war has made a . nation of widows and orphans, with no govorn i mont to protect or caro for thom. It was the will . of God that these calamities should como upon our I people. Lot na do our whola duty and .runt in i Divino Providence. I mm not without hopo that j our land will again blosooru au tho rooe. We must, however, ?11 work, Q. Wa Wa NEW BOOKS. Laub Venebib and othor Poems and Ballads, by Algernon Charles Swinburne. New York: Corloton, Publishor, No. 413 Broadway. London: Moxon k Co. If tho ardor of licentious passion, convoyed in tho utlorauco of wild libidinous longings, and "liko laBciviouB regrets,"-if a frantic abuBO of all that mankind has agrood to consider, at least theoreti cally, as holy, and good, and true,-tho wholo clothed in a wondorful brilliancy of diction, and adorned with an almost unequallod mastoty of rhythm,-if all this constituted a poot, then has this last volunio of Mr. Swinburne's unequivocally established his claim to that proud title Origin ality in a high dogreo it cortainly displays. It is hardly too much to say, that thoro is not a singlo Uno, from tho beginning to tho end of this extra ordinary produotion, whioh can bo canstruod into an endorsement of the vulgar idea that truth and purity aro at least to a certain extent worthy of tho ollogianco of humanity. Othor poota havo found a thorne for thoir rogrcts in the fact that man had fallen from his high estate, and havo not thought it unworthy tho dignity of thoir vocation to T-_oh high thoa_!___ and amiablo words, And courtRncas and tho desire of fame, And lovo of truth and all that makes a man,- ??Q[ but it baa been reserved for Mr. Swinburne to add a now pago to tho drawing-room litoraturo of tho day, and to colobrate the delights of the brothel in sounding anaproats, and tho abominations of name less lnsts in melodious sapphics. A moro practical homily on tho text -'Evil, bo thou my Good," could scarcely havo boon penned than tho pages of this book afford. Tho raro merit of porfect conaistonoy Mr. Swinburne undoubt edly posat-ssos. Ho props himself up with no saving clausos; ho indulges in no clap-trap expres sions of a morality which his teachings bobo,-his rogrots and his longings aro alike fearlessly con sistent. The hymn to Dolores, so wondorful in its gorgeous coloring, so fascinating in its molody, may bo rogarded na embodying the cardinal points of his creed: What ailed ub, O gods, to desert you For creeds that rofuso and restrain? Como down and redeem ub 1 rom virtue, Our Lady of Pain. Which agreeable result being obtained, we then, according to Mr. Swinburne Sholl seo whothor hoU be not heaven, Fiad out whether tarea bo not grain; No doubt a consummation devoutly to bo wished! It is almost impossible to convey a just idea of many pointe in Mr. Swinburne _ philosophy of Ufe without quoting paaaagos with which wo would bo unwilling to defile these columns. Some of his poems, wo aro glad to think, will bo uttorly unin telligible to many of his rendors, for thoy deal with subjects which, by the common consent of man kind, have long since been degraded to that region of foulness and filth with whioh fow who read his works, as those of the last now poot of the day, are likely to bo familiar. Despito his really wondorful power of rhythm, Mr. Swinburne Booms vory often to labor under a great obscurity of expression, which may voil vory profound moaning, but -which cortainly convoys tho imp ros sion of vory lit tia real maatory of language. This obscurity was very ap parent in Atalanta in Calydon. Tho construction as well as tho meaning of tho following passago, from Atalanta in Calydon, is certainly not very evident : She thereat Laughed, ob when dawn touches tho sacred night, The sky aces laugh and redden and divido, Dim lips and cyulids virgin of tho sun, Here, and the warm slow breasts of morning heave, Fruitful, and flushed with flame from lamp-lit hours, And maldon undulation of clear hair Color the clouds; so laughed sho from puro heart. Lit with o low blush to the braided hair, And rose-colored and cold, Uko vory dawn, Coldon and godlike, chastely with chaste lips A faint grave lough. Tho same involved and often obscuro expression ia found in many of the poems in the prosent col lection, as for instance in tho oponing Bontenco ol tho poom "At Eleusis." Men of Eleusis, ye that with long staves Sit in tho market houses, and speak words Mado sweet with wisdom as the raro wlno is Thickened with honey; and ye sons of theso Who In the glad thick streets go up and down For pastime, or grave trafilo or mero chanco; And all fair women having ringa 01 gold On hands or hair; and chiefest over those I nome you, daughters of this man tho King, Who dipping deep smooth pitchers of pure brass Under the bubbled weUs, till each round lip Stooped with looso gurgle of waters incoming. Found mo an old sick woman, lamed and lean, Beside a growth of butlded olive boughs Whence multiplied thick song of thick-plumod throats Also wot tears filled np my hollow hands By reason of my crying into thom And iii Lied me; for na cold water ran And washed the pitchers full from Up to Up, Lo I washed both oyes fuU tho strong salt of tears. It was to bo expected that a poot who ovidontly puts so much faith in the power of appeals to the aensos, should not diadain "apt alliteration's art ful aid,*' and accordingly -wo havo a surfeit ol Buch expressions as-"Intolerable interludes and infinite ill"-"Memories shall mix and metaphor, of me"-"Lilies and languor of tho Lesbian air" "Bathing the blossom by the bud*-"O lips full oi lust and of laughtor"-"Lifts languid wet eyelid. ond lashos, And laughs with inaatiablo lips"-an no forth, a? irtflnilum. But indeed all the paraphernalia of Mr. Swin burne's poetry is open to this objection. Th?ro if too muoh of it. Wo oro constantly hearing oi "shuddering sensations," "glowing ghosts," "fad ed fears," "hoavonly hair," until wo are tempted te wonder what Mr. Swn.nu._NE would do if ho hap pened to wish to givo expression to an idea which would not bend to this Procrustean alliteration whioh Booma to shape all his utterances. The follow ing stanzas from "Doloros" well illustrates tint abuse of mechanical old in the structure of verso which is fast bocoming a moro curious verbal oxer oise, in whioh a certain amount of what, in imita tion of Mr. Swinburne, wo may call melodiou. monotony, is mado to do duty for vigor or origin ality of idea : Ob sands by the storm never shaken, Nor wet f rom the washing of tides; Nor by foam o f the waves overtaken, Nor winds that tho thunder bestrides; But red from tho print of tby paces, Mado smooth for tho world and Its lords, Hinged round with a flame of fair faces, And splendid with swords. Mr. Swinburne has put forth a defence agains* tho strictures of the English critics upon the im morality of his "Lana Vonoris," in whioh ho de fends tho book upon tho ground of tho dramati. nature of the poems, and tho fact which he allego i of hie personages simply spoaking in character. Whether the assertion oxcuaca tho blaephom? of auch passages aa abound in "Anactona," th. "Hymn to Proserpine," and many others, or tin revolting obscenity of suoh poems os "Los Noya doe," and "The Leper," must be decided of cours? by the moral instinots of those who read them But if the reverence for purity and refinement hi not a miotako in morals,-if tho Judgment of ha manity, based on tho ixwUnotiYO r?_peot for th beautiful and truo, which has novor boon wholly without witness in tho world, bo not ontiroly at fault in domanding, as the requisitos for our ap preciation of womon, something other than and apart from tho "strait Bott flanks," "splendid sup plo thighs," and Wkito wealth of bodies matlo whiter B3- the blushes or amorous blows 1 which charactorizo tho horoincs of Mr. Swin B?-tNB'B erotic lays-thon wo can havo no fear of tho verdict of posterity upon his book. Tho moral sonso of mankind is novcr outraged with impunity. Wo forgive to tho great goniuses of past ages tho impurities which too ofton disfigure thoir pagce, and which wo aro willing to ascribo to tho debasing influences of corrupt surroundings. But a book which, iu tho ninotconth contury, omulatcs the obscenities of RocnESTEB and Wyodebly, and which Booms lo havo boon written simply for tho purpoBO of promulgating tho faith that Thoro Is not ono thing with nnotlior, But Kvil saltli to Good, "My brother, My brother, I am ono with thee," must find the fato of all proachors of now reli gions which violate tho truost instincta of that vory moral nature to which all doctrino must ulti mately address itsolf. After so much censuro wo aro glad to bo ablo to say a fow words of prainc. Of tho melody and boauty of many of Mr. Swinbubne's pooms thcro can bo no question. "Dolores," "Hesporia," tho ' Hymn of Proserpine," though nono of thom aro freo from tho taint of the author's peculiar philoso phy, aro nevertheless almost perfect in rhythmical structure, and abound iu exquisito touches of pootio fancy. Wo will conclude this notice by quoting a graceful little poona entitled AX INTERLUDE. In titc grcenost growth of tho Maytime, I rodo where tho woods ivoro wet, Between tho dawn and the daytime, Tho apring was glad that wo mot. Thoro was something tho season wanted, Though tho ways and tho woods smelt sweet, The breath at your Ups Hint panted The pulso of the grass at your feet. You carno, and tho sun carno after. And tho green grow golden' above, And the flog-flowurs liglitenod.with laughter,' And tho meado .v-s woot show with love. * Your feet in tho full grown grasses Moved soft as a weale wind blows, You passed mo as April passes, With faco modo out of a rose. By tho stream whero tho stems wero alonder. Your bright foot paused at tho sedge ; It might bo to watch tho tendor light leaves In the spring-time hedge. On boughs that tho sweet mouth blanches With Ho wer y frost of May; It might bo a bird in tho branches. It might be a thorn in the way. I waited to watch you linger, With foot drawn back from tho dow, Till a sunbeam straight like a finger, -truck sharp through tho leaves at you. And a bird overhead sang Follow, And a bird to the right sang Here ; And the arch of tho leaves was hollow. And the meaning of May was clear. I saw whero the sun's band pointed ; I knew what the bird's soto said ; By tlio dawu and the dew-l-U anointed. Von wori quean by tho gold on your head. As tho glimpso of a burnt-out ember, Recalls a regret of the hud, I remember, lorgot, and romember What lovo saw dono and undone. I remember the day wo parted, Tho day and tho way wo met ; You hoped wo wero both broken-hearted, And know wo should both forget. And May with her world in flower, Seemed still to murmur aud smile. As you murmured and smiled for au hour, .1 saw you turn at the stile. A hand Uko a white wood-blossom, You Ultcd and w lived and parsed, With bead hung down to the bosom, And palo au it seemed at last. And the best and the worst of this is That neither is most to blame. If you'vo forgotten my kisses. And I'vo forgotten your name. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Now, as heavy fogs arise and scare hing winds com mence to blow; now as tho human body, exhausted like inanimate nature by tho beats of summer, begins to wilt and droop; now, ore the inclement winter makes Its try ing onset; NOW Is tho time for a preparatory course of the best acclimating medicino In existence, nOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. - Fever and Aguo Is rampant In all parts of the country. Quinine, the physicians admit, will not quell the phase of tho discaso wldch at proscnt porvados tho ontlro West. It Is well that it is so, for tho remedy (so-callod) is dead lier than tho malady. But if quinine Is inefficient in in termittent fevers, HOSTETTER'S BITTERS is irresistiblo. It would bo safo to moko o contract, un der bcavy penalties, that any given "Fovcr-ond-Ag-e Dis trict" should be exempted from the disorder for any par ticular time, provided ovory inhabitant would take tho BETTERS according to directions, during tho term of tho contract. There bos never benn an instance in which this sterling Invlgorant and anti-febrilo medicino has failed to ward of! tho complaint, when taken duly as a pro tection against malaria. Hundreds of physicians havo abandoned all tho olllcinal specifics and now prescribe tins harmless vegetable tonic, and nothing else, as a pre ventive and cure for all tho forms of chills and fevers. Vigor is tho thing most needful in these cases as well as in dyspepsia and ncrvons affections, and HOSTETTER'S BITTERS aro the safest, surest, and most wholcaomo strengthen ing preparation that human skill has yet concocted.
