They doolare the number of liv^s lost by the disaster is 200. A fear? ful.sea is raging, and it is scarcely possi? ble for the boats engaged in searching for the survivors to live.

It is known that tho captain and second mots were drowned. The steamship is now lying broadside on the rooks. She is under wator, and her mainmast is gorje. A steamer and several boats are cruising about the scene of tho wreck, searching- for survivors.'' The disaster was -owing to a dense fog, which pre? vented either of the Scilly lights being seen.

Telegraphic?American News. New Yonx, May 8.?The agents of tho Eaglo line say that Captain Thomas, of the Schiller, was tire oldest commandor in the line. He was for many years in the employ of the Peninsula and Oriental Company, and occupied a high place among British sailors. Ho was with great difficulty induced to leave the Bri? tish service to enter that of tho Eagle. Tho Schiller was one of tho newest and best boats in tho trans-continental ser? vice, large and strong, and constructed on the latest pattern. She was built on the Clyde, by Robert Napier A Sonp. Her sister ship is tho Lessmg. These two vessels left this port for home, densely crowded, being the first to take advan? tage of the opening of the spring travel to Europe. They were the last two steamers that sailed under the flag of the Eagle line, whioh had been consolidated with tho Hamburg-American line. Pre? vious to the departure of the Schiller, the company's vessels had gone out with light passenger lists. The Schiller is said to have been built according to the requirements of the Lloyd Marino Insurance Company, and to have possessed every known appliance for safety. She was valued at $700,000, and was inBurod for her full value. Hsr crew consisted of 12-1 men, including officers. She carried six kegs contain? ing $300,000 in gold, shipped by E. S. Bollin & Co., bankers, of 2-1 Exchange Plaoe, in this city, to F. S. Bollin A Co., Paris, and 250 mail bags, containing the entire continental mail, together with a large Australian mail. Her cargo con? sisted of general merchandise, including 800 bales of cotton, 2,513 barrels of rosin, ?1,000 bushels of corn, and a large con? signment of leaf tobacco. The officers of the company in this city wore be? sieged during the morning by friends of those who sailed in the vessel, and tho scenes of distress which resulted from a confirmation of tho news that the vessel had been lost, were pitiful to behold. One man, who had a wife and two chil? dren on board, fell into a fainting fit on being informed of the fate of his family, and loud wailings were to be heard on all sides. The latest despatch received at tho office of tho agents of the Schiller, from their office in Hamburg, is as follows: "Keep strong hearts: more saved." The following additional despatch has been received from the agent at Ply mouth: "The Schiller is a total loss. The first, second and third officers, with forty of the passengers and crew, are known to be saved. Two steamers and a life boat aro at the wreck. Names of survivors unascertained.

Tun German War Tale. ?Tho London Times very pertinently scouts tho appre? hensions' raised by the alarmists in Paris as to the alleged designs of Germany to make war upon France without any cause but to cripple her so that she can never make war upon Germany. Only the aggressive and belligerent spirit of Bismarck could have given color to such a rumor. Evidently the Cincinnati and Indian? apolis journals believe that there are only three possible candidates for (he Democratic nomination for the next Presidency, and their names are Allen, Thurman and Hendricks. Wound Up.?The Elgin, Illinois,watch factory has closed work for an indefinite period. This sudden winding up of the watch business in the little town will re? sult in stopping a groat many hands from working.

The convention was engaged in dis? cussing the movement of the Amerienn Baptist Educational Commission. This was heartily endorsed by the convention. Several eloquent and able speeches were made. Dr. (hitting, of New York, the Secretary of tho Commission, explained the purpose of the work. The Baptists were a century ngo actively engaged in the interest of religious liberty. For this cause, as much as for civil liberty, they joined heartily in the revolutionary wur. They propose to celebrate in l?7? the centennial of their labors, in grati? tude to God for the great success of their principles, and also for their largo in? crease of numbers in this country 10U years ago, they numbered about 15,000.
