Buker, the wreckers, of this port, on Sunday last, received information of the lusa of one of their surf boats and the drowning of live men on thu coast of North Carolina. The circumstances, as we learn them from un eye-witness, were as follows: On Thursday, the 22d nit., as the wrecking obtainer B. ? J. Baker was lying off Oregon Inlet, one of tho surf boats, with six men, was Bent to the beach to land a passenger. The landing had boen effected in perfect safety, and tho men had started on their return, but ns a tremendous surf was breaking, three, i of them became frightened and stopped rowing. This made the boat unmanage? able, and wbilo in that condition she struck a pieco of flouting timber, which stove a hole in her bottom. The boat I immediately Oiled, and tho men were1 thrown into the water. They clung on to the boat as soon as possible, but one by one became benumbed, and relin? quishing their hold, were drowned. One only was saved, a white man by the name of James Sawyer, who was waahod ashore clinging to the body of ono of his drowned comrades. The remains of the other four were not recovered, and were probably carried out to sea by the onder-tow. The men drowned were John Lewis, Edward Malone and Charles Moxie, whites, and Miles Wilson and Barwell Richardson, negroes. The acci? dent happened within sight of the steamer, but those on board wore power? less to render the unfortunate men any assistance.-Norfolk Virginian. A fenrful disaster occurred in the river Platte on the night of the 2?lh of De? cember last.

The flames took possession of the steamer, the utmost panic occurred on board, tho crow carried away tho only available boat?, and of 1S1 persons on board, only 100 were known to havo been saved, principally by anothei steamer making the same trip. The disaster was attributed, by public rumor, to the desire of the captain of tho Ame? rica to arrive before the other steamer, although the boilers were known to bo j in u bad condition. Tho terrible nil'.?ir occurred within twenty-five miles of Montevideo. JefT. Thompson, the ex-Con f?deral general, is serving ns surveyor-general uudcr Warmoth.

Brief mention bas been made of the horrid massacre and religious fanaticism at Tandil, Buenos Ayres. A letter dated January 18 gives the following particu? lars: A man named Solares, born in Boli? via or Gbili, forty years of age, of a pale copper color, aud with a pleasing faoe, had settled near Tandil, a village in the Argentine Goufederation, in a hut with two rooms, and given out that he was a messenger of God. Previously bo had residod in the province of Entre Bios, giving out that be could divine tho future, foretelling deaths, and, it is said, taking measures to give certainty to his prophecies. Finally, he was driven awoy by the authorities, after tying him up and giving bim a flogging. Ho then went to Rosario, and thence to Azul, where ho praoticed bis profession, as? serting that be could cure the blind merely with his touch. There ho was arrested by the justice of the peace, on account ot the disturbances ho was pro? moting, but was released. Still his re? putation remained, and ho receive d e. call to go to the estancia of Senor Ramon Gomez, situated fourteen miles from tho village of Tandil, to cure the sterility of the wife. Ramon Gomez was a cousin of the justice of the peace for Tandil, and was himself an official. Seeing him lodged with this official, tho gauchos began to yield implicit faith in his pre? tensions to bo the Saviour of mankind and the envoy of God. Soon his fume ?prend through the country, and the half-savage inhabitant.- .nade it a kind of pilgrimage to go n d visit Solares, who received them in tue hut which hid proteotor hud assigned to him. Some? times upwards of 5UU persons were there at ouce, having come un horse-back and in wagons in search of tho services ul the prophet. lu one room he lived, ir the other were a numbor of images, and in tho latter he received his visitants, Money he refused for himself, but ht always advised them to make offering! to the images. The fame of the Tata Dios, or Mar God, grow mightily. The peopie kneolet before him and kissed his hands, wor shipping him as though God himself, listening with reverence to his occasioua preaching against foreigners, who, h? said, wore Masons und enemies of tin ohurch. At last, on New Year's Eve, he callee his disciples together, and declared a: follows: "The hour is come to kill tho Masous to finish with the authorities and to opel the prisons, to release friends who wil help us. As soon as you have fulfil If your mission, the rocking stone of Tau dil will fall of itself, and beneath it yoi will Hud a great town. If you do it God will largely repay your pious zeal if not, the most terrible punishment wi] fall upon you aud your children." His congregation beard and applaud ed, and before day-light of January 1 fifty of the one hundred and fifty whor he had called to him assembled behin his white banner and set out on thei deadly mission. At day-break, the beal ing of a drum aroused the inhabitants c Tandil, and they were told that som bandits had passed by, assassinating th people. They then saw in the 6rjuai the banner of Solares, surrounded b some fifty gauchos on horseback, decke with belts und plumes, who had airead broken open the prison and released th only prisoner in it. In the square, the gauchos mut ai Italian, whom they instantly killed. I tho outskirts of the village, they m< convoys of carts, driven by eleven va: cons, eight of whom they sacrificed o the spot and wounded three. The passed the store of Viuns Lauuz au killed him and a laborer; then went I tho store of Mr. Wm. Thompson, whei they murdered a tervautuud an Euglisl mau aud his wife, recently marriei shouting all the time, "Death to tl Masons! death to all foreigners! kill au sack I" At 8.30, they reached tho store of Jen Chappard, a mau greatly respected in h neighborhood. There they murder? eighteen persons-namely, the own aud his wife, aud four children, one these two years old, uuother A child four mouths; a girl of fuiirteuu years, female uud a male servant, and a numb of workmen employed upou the plat The deaths are too horrible to bo give Suffice, that thu chin! of two years age was riddled with stabs, und a chu leg was found thrust through the hui of a girl. Meantime the alarm had spread. T foreigners and natives in Tandil gath? ed what weapons they could fiud, mont od aud rode after the murderers, wi tho tired determination to pursue th( to tho death.

PUNCH'S LITTLE BILI*.-The Lon? don Pundi brings a bill against Brothor Jouatban for indirect damages, among which are the following items: For tho use of the works of ancient English authors, from Wm. Shakspeare downwards, and for calling them Ameri? can authors, 100,000,000; for piracy on modern English authors, and for not calling a great many of them American authors, 100,000,000; for insulting the King's or Queen's English, by speaking it, for fifty years, nasally, 20,000,000; for nttomptiug to destroy the monarchical principles of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, by treating him with so much kindness and hospitality that his Royal Highness was induced to think well of republicans, 100,000,000; for in? venting Herr Breitmann, instead of leaving to some Englishman the honor of inventing him, 100,000. Punch ulao has an item for twenty years of violent abuse poured upon Eng? land by the New York Herald, for which it charges two and a half pence. The bill is sigued Gladstone and Punch. NATURALIZATION RECORD.-The bill which has been introduced in Congress for a reoord of naturalization in the State Department at Washington, pro? vides thut the department shall keep a book in which all declaration of inten? tion to become citizens and actual natu? ralizations Bindi be systematically entered and kopt for reference, and that the pro? cess of naturalization shall in no case be completo uutil tho entries have been made. All courts are required to for? ward tba naturalization papers they issue to the State Department for record, and thc department is to give certified copies of naturalization certificates to persons who may have lost them, and to publish every year a list of all tho naturaliza? tions grouted. Tho alleged necessity of this measure arises from tho frequent loss of certificates of naturalization and the imperfect manner in which the re? cords of courts authorized to grant such certificates are kopt, and from the floods of fraudulent naturalization papers which aro issued in some of the large cities just before important elections. CONSORTIUM. - ..Consortium" is the latest speculative coinage of tho New York Stock Exchnnge.

The headquarters of the North west "consortium" are in William street, and it is said that its operations have boen interfered with to some extent by the outside operations of its members, who have purchased freely of North? west to Bell to the "consortium" when the price is run up a little higher.
