SUBiiiNaTON, April 5. ?The most ter e rain, hail and wind storm ever known here, came np at a minute's no* tioe this afternoon, creating fearful havoc and causing loss of life. The storm straok the oity on West Hill, tearing the roof from one of the school houses, and descending through the business portion of the oity. Buildings were unroofed and a great deal of damage done. The most horrible part of the catastrophe was the destruction of T. N.

Naw York, April 6:?The agent of the White Star Line has a full list, by cable, of the Atlantic's passengers, and is ready to answer all.inquiries. 905 of-the survivors of the Atlantio ar? rived here this morning, by the steamer Newport. It being generally known that they were coming, as early as 4 o'clock anxious orowds gathered round the pier, and the wildest excitement prevailed. Ao soon as the Newport neared the dock, the pier was closed, and'none but the employees and members of the press wore admitted inside the gates; mean? while, the Commissioners of Emigration had the tag Thomas Fletcher chartered, and, to.avoid' the largo crowds outside tlie pier, ran her close to the Newport, and took the unfortunate passengers on board, and steamed down to Castle Gar? den, whore the scene baffles description. Thousands of men, women and children, of almost every nation, were gathered, and it was with the greatest difficulty that thoy could be kept from' forcing their way through the gates. The poor fellows looked starved, wrotohed and miserably olad, and seemed ' to be very much;disheartened; On their arrival at Castle Garden, they wore registered as ' usual, after which friends, who wore waiting in the information room, sent in tho names of thoso whom thoy sought, and as. wife aad children, sister or bro? ther, recognized ono of the unfortunate men, whom thoy deemed lost, the scene was touching; men gave way entiroly, and womon either swoonod or screamed from joy. Even outside tho gates, mon and womon, who were gathered iu groups, sobbed and cried bitterly. After a short time, breakfast was laid, consist? ing of coffee, boiled eggs, ham, white bread and butter, and boiled beef, of which the starving mon partook plenti? fully, During tho day, they seemed to become more reconciled to their fate. At-3 P. M.,'dinner was served, of soup, roast beef, oorned beef, potatoes, broad, pie and cake. About 100 of the passen? gers leave to-night on the Erio line, aod the remainder in a few days. The ma? jority of the men speak disparagingly of tho captain and crew, and complain that, after being two or three days at aoa, their" food was out short. Washington, April 6.?Tho second part of the papers with reference to the foreign relations of* the United States, transmitted to Congress with the Presi? dent's annual message, is a volume of 570 pages, filled entirely with tho pro oeolings oonneoted with tho Geneva arbitration, tho arguments of tho coun? sel, the award, the report of the United States ?geht, etc. The- report of the counsel, Moasra. Gaabiog, Evarts and Waite occupies only Iweuty-five priuted lines, in' which they oxpreos the hope that the President will see in the final award of the tribunal, proof that they were not wanting to the important trus's. I whioh be confided to them. It appears from a circular of .the De? partment of Agriculture, that the earliest period fixed for the production of the implements and machinery on the exhi? bition grounds at Vionna, is the 10th of June, and that the'first trial will take place the 15th of June, so there is,- then, yet ample time for transmission from the. United States of/.machines for com? petition. Official information has been received from Vienna to the effect that arrange? ments have been made by whioh, daring the International Exposition, the oity will be abundantly supplied with pro? visions daily, both by river and rail. This will have the effect of keeping the price of board at moderate figures, and giving no excuse for extortion. Tho hotels and restaurants have increased their accommodations, while many new public houses havo been constructed. Theoitizens, too, will set apart rooms in their own houses for lodgers, and some of the town buildings will be surrender? ed to the use of 'teachers, artizans and other distinctive classes. In fact, both the Government aod the people are en? gaged in the consummation of auch mea? sures as will afford all visitors comforta? ble quarters. There will be more than 10,000 lodging placos at prices of two, four, six and eight florins a day, while thousands of persons will be accommo? dated in the suburbs?tramways and other means of transportation to the ex? position being abundant. The British and American Mixed Oommission have adversely deoided what are known*as the Calcutta*oases, growing oat of the detention of United States vessels under proclamation of the Queen, daring the late rebellion, preventing them from sailing from British East In? dia ports with cargoes of saltpetre. Tho Commission will adjonrn about the 1st of May till tho 21 of June, when they will meet at New; ort, Bbode Ialand ? Mr. Cox, the Secretary, having reaontly returned from that city, where he en? gaged rooms for the tranaaotion of their buameaj?, Of the 497 cases, 271 have been adjudicated. Of all tho cases, only nineteen were American. The entire business will bo disposed of within the treaty limit, being the first instance of the kind with such mixed commissions. The report of J. R. Dodge, statistician of the Department of Agriculture, for the month of March, is replete with facts illustrating the present condition of American agriculture, in some of its most important aspects. One of these is systematic crop rotation, tho extent to wbiobtit is practiced, and proofs of its advantages, and of the wastefulness of unsystematic culture. Another point in the investigation concerns the prevalence and resatts of soil improvement by com? mercial fertilizors and farm-yard ma? nures, the ass of gypsam and line and other cheap mineral applications, oTover ing and other-green manuring. The tenor of returns on this aubjeot favor, by a marked preponderance of testimo? ny, the fertilizers of the farm in connec? tion with a system of restorative crop? ping and stock .feeding, rather than tbo general uso of expensive commercial sti? mulants. The productive resources of the country aro strikingly suggested by showing how Bmall a portion of the crops is grown by the aid of any fertil? izer whatever.' -The report also illus? trates the comparative profit of feeding and selling produpts consumable by farm animate, by 'examples in all sec? tions of the' country, with all - kinds of etock, and shows the popular preferences for the different branches of husbandry, based upon tbe profit derived from each. The larger portion qf this report deals with the causes of discouragement felt by the farmers of the country at the present time, with suggestions of reme? dies. Among these, the most prominent are the high and discriminating rates of railroad . freights, and high prioes for farm labor in comparison with net re? ceipts for producta. The labor question in tho South, especially with referecoe to its scarcity and instability, is fully pre? sented, with hints of partial, if not com? plete,- remedies. A long liet of local cases of diacoaragement suggests the wonderful variety of conditions under whioh agricultural enterprise is conduct? ed. The returns, as a whole, show a great awakening of tho rural mind, a strong progroesive tendency in practical direction, a consciousness of power, and a determination to exeroise it for tho public good, and to secure equitable re? turns to rural labor and capital. New Yoke, April 7.?Hurry Jonen, an Englishman, a passenger on tho Atlantic, saw two survivors fighting for tho pos? session of a pair of booh on a dead laedy.

The general opinion is that there will be no eleotioa by the people for Governor, tho prohibition vote preventing either candidate from getting a majority.

[ New York April 6.?News from Ha? vana, through Spanish sources, con? firm the reported capture of the fortified oity and seaport ot Mazauillo, and says an immense amount of booty in money aud munitions of war fell into tbe hands of the Cubans, who sacked the town. The attack was mado at night in the ab? sence of tbe Spanish troops in the field. Captain-General Cabalios has tele-, graphed to Madrid that a large body of troops is imperatively wanted in Ha? vana, as a revolution may break out among tho Spaniards at any moment. The slaves are also reported to bo medi? tating a revolt. At the investigation by the Legislative Committee, to-day, of the Mutual Life Insuranoe Company's affairs, Mr. Mo Oullongh testified that A* son of President Winstone took out three polioies in the company, which he subsequently sur I rendered, on receiving full surronder value therefor. In 1806, he died, when tho policies wore revived, and an install? ment policy issued for 812,000, He gave other instances of a similar ohasaoter. In opening the April term of Gonoral Sessions, to-day, Recorder Ilackett charged the jury, in strong terms, to deal severely with offenders against tho usury laws. Ho said: "Tho theft of in? dustry aud regular proflta^by moans of immoral and unlawful niarhinntions of capitalists or moneyed institutions, ought to command your attention much more than the ordinary larcenies of the prison calendar,!' The failuro of tho New York Gas Com? pany to supply with light the section of tho city iu which is centred tho most im? portant interests of banking, insurance und wholosude trades, oauses groat aud deserved indignation among business men. Vaults of bauks aud bankers within a radius of a quarter of a mile of Wall street, contain millions upon mil? lions of dollars' worth of securities and easb. When it is remembered that one of tho chief instrumentalities in guard? ing these vaults at night is. gas light, it will be seon what immense interests are jeopardized by the aotion of the compa? ny, to say nothing about tho inconve? nience. Tho question has boon raised whether tho gns company, by contract? ing to fnfuish light, may not make itself responsible for losses incurred by reason of its failuro to keep its contract. Busi? ness men are disposed to hold tho gas company to a strict accountability. Washington, April 7.?George W. Tyner hns been appointed post oar agent.

In [this cose,-Harro wer seed Woodruff on a promissory note, gi von for a consideration in war bonds, issued by tho Arkans s repcosslonconvention. On the trial, the court divided in opinion on the following questions, which were certified to this court for answer: 1. Was the considera? tion of the note void on grounds of pub? lic policy, So that no action could bo sustained? 2., Was the consideration of the note illegal, under the principles of public low,* the Oonstitution of the. United States, the laws of Congress and tho proclamations of the President relat? ing to the rebellion whioh existed and was pending when the note was made? Those questions are both answered in the affirmative; the court holding that the issuing of the bonds was an aot of open hostility to the United States, de I olaring tho adherence of the oonvontion to the enemies of the Government; and that although the bonds were used as a circulating medium, in the sense that I any negotiable money instrument, found I ed on the public faith in its payment, is I saoh it medium, they were etill not a I forced currency, whioh tho people of that section were obliged to use. In this the case ia distinguishable from the case of Thorington vs. Smith, before de I pided by this ooart. There the question I was upon the validity of Confederate I money as a consideration, and it was unstained on the ground that it was the i'uly medium of exchange of a people I under the absolute control of the Oon I federate Government, and was hence a forced currency. Mr. J ustice Miller concurred, or rather acquiesced, ia the opinion; although he thought the con? sideration in tbia oaso was within tho prinoiple of Thorington vs. Smith; and j he did so beoauso it limited that case as a precedent, he- having reluctantly con? curred therein, on account of the ap I parent necessity for protecting millioue of people in the transactions of a term of years.
