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

egg depot, on Jefferson street, and the
death of seven persons. The house was

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

Hartford, April 7.?Tho election, to?
day, was the quietest for many years.
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. Haw
loy will probably be*elected to Congress
from this District by a larger majority
than last full. Starkweather will be re
elected from tho Third Distriof. The

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

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

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.

la the Supreme Court?Harrowcr vs.
Woodruff?Certificate of division from
tbo Eaatt ru District of Arkansas. 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. Mr. Justice Field delivered the
I opinion of tho oourt.
