London, November 12.?All the Lon?
don morning papers express the deepest
sympathy for the sufferers by tho confla?
gration iu. Boston. Tboy attribute the
great disaster to the bad management of
the fire department, tbo police and the
municipal authorities of that oity. The
Standard says "tbo Boston tiro is a soan
dalptiB outrage on civilization, and evi?
dence of the most inefficient oity govern?
ment." By way of - showing superiority,
in oases like that of the Boston ?re, of a
small, well organized firo department,
over a lurge but badly managed one, it
compares the small London fire brigade
and the 'narrow, crooked streets and
alleys of that city. Where fires seldom
get beyond; the buildings wherein they
originate, to. the thousands* of undisci?
plined 'firemen, huge granite -structures
and open places in Boston. "There,"
it says, "the best portion of the oity
was destroyed for want of good manage?
ment to prevent tho progress of the
flames,' whioh were finally stopped by
gun-powder; and this wretched business
was entrusted to volunteer citizens in?
stead of skilled operators. It is believed
here that the amount of insurance in
London companies upon property iu tbo
bumf district .of Boston is $2,500,000.
A commission, is to:be sent to Boston by
the London companies, to make an in?
vestigation of the facts in relation to the
origin and progress of the conflagration,
as a matter of general importance to in?
surance interests."
TheBteumship Helvetia,' which sailed
from New York October 23; for London,
encountered severe weather, when uoar
ing the English coast. On Friday last,
while off Portland, her maohinery broke,
bnt she succeeded, however, in reaohing
the Isle of Wight, when she became un?
manageable, and drifted rapidly towards
the French coast. As Cherebourgh came
in Bight, the anxiety of tho officers be?
came very great. They wero unable to
regain control over tho steamer's move?
ments, and were in danger of being
drivon on shore/ When within ten miles
of Cherobourgh,.tboy threw up rockets
and.made other.signals of distress, but
they Wfere not noticed on the shore. For?
tunately, the wind changed, and tbef
steamer began to run before it dowu tbo
ohanne.1. The . steamer.Ethel came to
her assistance, and- while trying to give
bur a tow, ran into a-boat which bed
been launched" by the Helvetia. Tho
boat was crushed to pieces. One man
was killed and two injured. Tbo Helve?
tia was finally towed into Falmoutb, ar?
riving there to-day.
The Norwegiun bark Dogmar, whioh
sailed from New York for Queenstown

Idaho, after much difficulty, by mcuua
of a life boat,- and landed them at
QuoeCBtown last evening.

The steam en eines are busy to-night
playing on the debris. All streets lead?

there being no gas, large orowds hover
in the vicinity of the ruins.
New York, November 12.?Smith &
Wesson's pistol agency was robbed of
$3,000 to-day. The papers here take a
moro cheerful view as to the results,
financially and otherwise, of the Bostou
fire. In tho shoe and leather trade,
there is a prevailing impression that no
harmful results to the trado can follow,
as prices were at a very low point before
tho fire. Several Boston men aro already
here, who have bought new stocks, and
will rebuild immediately. In tho wool
trade, it is stated, more of the Now York
houses are disastrously affected. The
notual sufferers will be the public at
lurge, as all kinds of woollen goods will
bo udvanced in price, it is expected, from
thirty to forty per cent. Several New
York firms aro congratulating themselves
upon tho necessary deflection of the
wool trado from Boston to New York.
Several Now York detectives havo gone
to Boston, to aid tho authorities thorein
arresting tho Now York thiovos. The
Bulletin says of the wool market, that
dealers here recently sold heavily to
Boston merchants, but tho wool is still
mostly hold hero, or is iu transit?thus
escaping destruction. Only a small
amount of Boston paper on account of
wool transactions is hold hore, and no
foars are ontortaiuod hero that other
than tho extension of time will be neces?
sary on maturing bills. A partial sus?
pension of the wool trado for tho week
is expected, until tho iusuranoo balanco
is perfootod, when tho market will bo
moro aotivo than before the fire. Iu tho
dry goods trado, tho same paper says
there is muoh oonfusionand uncertainty,
owing to the non-reception of lotters
from Boston; but no great uneasiness is
manifested. Iu tho hide and leathor
trade, there is an outiro absence of any
panicky feeling, and the general impres?
sion is that the market will simply re?
main steady. In the boot and shoe
trade, no crisis isautioipoted-v-tho senti?
ment being .that all tho Boston dealers
are still in good standing, and only an
extension of time will' be necessary.
Boston buyers who appeared hero yesterJ
day were cheerfully given all the credit
th?y asked for.
Boston, November 12?3 A. M.?Tho
streets are now perfectly quiet. 250
mounted soldiers patrol the Btroet and
no ono. not having official authority from
the commandant is permitted to pass tho
Hues of the infantry, aud ono man who
attempted to enter a store ou Winter
street, who refused to leave after being
repeatedly ordered away, started to run,
when about to be arrested, end was shot
by the guard. Extensive lines of hose
are stretched all over the ruins, and the
engines are stationed at almost every
hydrant, ready at a moment to bo work?
ed, if occasion should require; At points
where persons are known to be buried,
the ruins aro being cooled with water,
preparatory to digging out the corpses
of the victims. Immense piles of coal
at Russia wharf?about 500 tous?are still
ou fire. The city authorities have
granted to the dry goods merchants the
privilege of using the Common sb a re?
pository for such of their property as is
saved, and to erect shanties aud other
structures for temporary ubc Throo

Beizod by tho infuriated orowd aud nu
ccromouiously hung up to a lamp post.
Three men were buried under a falling
wall, on Waahingtou street, leaving their
hoad8 only visible. Efforts made to
rescue them from their horrible position
were unavailing, aud iu a few moments
after the remainder of tho wall fell,
crushing and burying them from Bight.
It is estimated that nearly 10,000 girls
aro thrown out cf employment by the
firo. It is known that thirty lives have
been lost. Detachments of the h'irst and
Second Regiments are quartered iu the
old South Church. This building has
not boon thus used since tho British

has been known, but the location of a
permanent quartz mine or reof has not
beeu thoroughly demonstrated until
lately. For a year past, parties of ex?
perience have been engaged in develop?
ing a mine near Kelly's Ford, five miles
from Rnppahuuuuek Station, in the
neighborhood of well-kuowu places f.?r
deposit?. They have found a series of
well-defined gold-bearing voins, located
iu amounts three-fourths of a mile from
the river. Tho surface rock of decom?
posed quartz bears a strict resemblance
to the ore taken ont of the richest districts
of California, A shaft eighty feet deep
oula three veins at tho depth of fifteen,
forty-five and seventy-five feet, yielding
rook worth from $G0 to 0100 per ton.
The deposit seems to be a basin of veius,
showing free gold, with carbonates and
not sulphates. Three tunnels are now
being worked through rich rock, aud
everything gives evidence of porma
uency.
Tho Commissiouer of Internal Reve?
nue estimates the receipts of tho bureau
for the present fiscal your at $105,000,000,
or $30,000,000 less than last year, with
a natural iucreaso annually of three per
cent. Tho receipts of tho first quarter
were larger than those subsequently col?
lected, being accumulations ou account
of past indebtedness and other causes.
So far as the bureau is aware, both the
tobacco and tho spirit interests aro satis?
fied with tho lato law of Congrose, and
therefore thero is no reason to believo
that any modification of it will bo re?
commended, unless iu tho manner of
administration and a re-organization of
tho districts, in order to render tho sys?
tem moro compact and to reduce ex?
penses. Nor is it probable that tho
Tariff Act will undergo any material
changes.

The Latest Novelii- Suicide.?
One of tbo most distressing affairs we

popular and successful Jacksonville mer?
chant, aud daughter of Mr. George Da

see, seemed to be suffering from some
mental derangement, and, thinking a
chaugu of scene aud surroundings might
cure her incipient malady, her husband
Link her to her parents aud friends in
Tallahassee, on Wednesday last. That
night, soou after her arrival at her
father's house, she called tho family
around her aud prayed and exhorted
them to prepare for a great aud sad ca?
lamity. None had any idea that she was
contemplating anything like self-destruc?
tion. Tbe next morning early, her
father went out to procure a bottle of
wine fo> her, and, boou after his de
pat tore, she look a kerosene lam]) or can,
and, saturating beiself from head to
foot, put a match to it, aud iu a moment
was enveloped in tbe flames. Her hus?
band ami others, hearing her shrieks,
ran to her rescue, and, throwing a bucket
of water over her, endeavored to extin?
guish the flames. This proved unavail?
ing, and her hn.sbuud, seizing a blanket,
threw it around her, and dually succeed?
ed iu pulling out the flames, but not un?
til tho poor victim was burned to such
an extent that she died iu a few hours,
after tho most iuteuso suffering. Mr.-.^
Pace was quite young, aud had been
married only about three or fear years.
Tw?'yearS ago sho was the happy wife of
a devoted husband, whose success iu bu?
siness had placed him in comfortable cir?
cumstances. We have not learned the
causes which led to the distressing cala?
mity.
Statue to Sir Walter Scoet.?The
ceremony of unveiling the statue of tho
poet and novelist Sir Walter Scott was
performed iu New York Central Park,
Saturday, with most interesting exer?
cises. Tho occasion aud thu brilliant
autumn weather brought together un
immense cuncour.se of persons, nnd tho
mall and drivus wero thronged as they
have seldom been before on any occa?
sion. Wm. Cullen Bryant, the editor
and poet, delivered tbe address. Tho
statue is of colossal size, representing
tho novelist in n meditative attitude,
seated carelessly on u rock, his pluid
gathered about his shoulders and hang?
ing dowu his leftside. His faithful dog
crouches at his feet on the right side.
There has been an endeavor to portray
him as ho was kuoivu when among men.
oven to tho loose stockings and his low,
easy shoes, tied with leather cords.
Iu the face, tho same idea is paramount,
aud tho leading attempt has beeu to
make it a characteristic portruit. The
figure is a representation in bronze of
the gray marble statue made by tho
same artist, Johu Stull, for the Scott
monument iu Princess street, Edin?
burgh. Tho pedestal is of a piuk Aber?
deen granite. On tho front is the in?
scription "Walter Scott." On the rear

"Presouted to the city of Now York by

15th August, 1871, tho ono hundredth
anniversary of tho birth of Sir Walter
Scott, Baronet."

The Case of Db. Bofus Br.vtton.?A
telegraphic despatch from Washington,
dated the 8th, say* the British Minister
has called the uttention of the Secretary
of State to tho case of Dr? Bofas Brat
ton, who wus forcibly abducted from
Canada hist apring by nn American
officer named Hester, assisted by a
Canudian official named Cromwell.
Cromwell, it will be remembered, was
recently sentenced to three years* im?
prisonment for this act, the principal
witnes? being Dr. Bratton. It was not
supposed that any farther mention
would be made of the cane, bnt it ap?
pears that Bratton was released by tho
united States authorities on bail, and
not returning to . South Carolina, the
sureties were informed the bail bond
would be forfeited^ Bratton did not
roturn. Ho, therefore, appealed to the
British Government for protection, and
tho British Minister, under instruction
from the home Government, reminds
the Secretary of State that her Majesty's
Government does not tolerate interfer?
ence with her laws, and that the pro?
ceedings against Bratton having followed
his abduction from ' British territory,
tboy must be canceled. .The. Attorney
General bast therefore, instructed United
States District Attorney Corbin, at
Charleston, to dismiss the bail bond and
discharge the sureties of Bratton, nud to
place the proceedings against him, as far
as practicable, in the same position as
before the forcible abduction from
Canada.
Tue Census.?General Francis A.
Walker, superintendent of the ninth
census, iu bis report to ttie Secretary of
the Interior, recommends tHo taking of
an intermediate census in 1875, in pre?
paration for the approaching centennial
celebration of the political birth of the
nation. He beiieves also that this ex?
periment would secure the taking of the
Federal census thereafter at regular in?
tervals of five years instead of ten. The
latter interval he is of the opinion is fur
too long iu this rapidly growing country
for all the uses to which statistics of the
census are put by tho legislator, the
journalist, und the social and political
philosopher. Much improvement hasl
been made in the manner of arranging'
aud illustrating the details of tho ninth
I census, but the superintendent regards
the existing census Uiwb as entirely too
I clumsy for continued use, and recom?
mends such action as will meet the case,
in view of its necessities and the ad?
vanced state of statistioal science.
North Carolina has undoubtedly gone
for Grant by about 10,01)0 majority. We
will give the wholo voto when the full
returns are received. The defeat is
owing to the apathy of the whites, the
Dernocruts having, polled a light vote
throughout the State.
