'The following additional particulars of the disaster baye been re? ceived: A ht>Vy fog i>revent^;e^Bjrv? tions on board the Sohillor ainee Tues? day. In consequence of the fog, the en? gines were put at half speed, and sail was reduced, at 9 o'clock Friday night At 10 o'clock" on the some night, the ship htruck the ledge. A great panic pre? vailed. . Cant. Thomas is highly praised for his conduct during the terrible scenes which followed. Two boats were filled with * men who refused to oome out. The captain, fired his revolver over their heads to drive them out, and then fired at them, but witfiout effect. Afterwards the ship was washed, with her broadside to the sea, and all on board these boats perished. The tackle at the Btorn was released too soon, leaving the boats sus? pended by the bows. Three beats then got away; one of these, a life boat, was so badly injured that she sank, and I eleven of the people on board of her were rescued, by the other boats. The fog lifted an hour 'after the steamer struck, I and the lights were plainly visible. Guns ?were fired from the..steamer until the powder became wetv.;*tm deck-house, crowded with people, was swept away at 2 A. M. The captain gathered some of the survivors on the bridge; all, were gradually washed away by the flood tfd?,a which took tbo doctor and the captain. The last of. the rigging which remained above water .-was crowded with past en? gen and the crew all night The main? mast fell aV7/30 A. M., und being .of iron, who had taken, refuge on mast gave war soon after, rescued after being in the urn. .Two'boats from St ved a short time before the masts fell, .but they were. unable to ap? proach - the steamer on account of the fihoals. They, however, picked up'strug glers in the water. The passengers say Copt Thomas left the bridge at 3. A. ~M. , to .assist, those on deck, and when he reached the deck was- swept away by a heavy .sea. All concur in saying that he exercised the greatest caro, and was not abed for five nights previous to the dis? aster. The sea began to break over the vessel half an hour after she struok, and the tide rose twenty-five feet before day? break. Only one woman was saved. Lateb.?All day long the details of the Schiller disaster have been coming in. Unfortunately no more persona are re? ported saved. Bodies are constantly being picked up. Among those recovered are Goo. Leonhardt Carl Schmidt, Mrs. Beiderer and child, Mrs. Becker, Mrs. Bidgeway and Mrs. Hermine, West, five I men, five women and two children. Altogether twenty-four bodies hare been found. The total number of lives lost is 811. Mr. Coleman, second officer of ] the Schiller, and Henry, Stern and Mr. Traben, first class passengers, have been interviewed. From, their narratives we gather that the voyage was moderately ?;ood until May 4. The last three days t v.-as impossible to take observations; the ship was out of her course half a mile at the time of the catastrophe. Capt Thortaa was on deok might and day for four entire days. At 2 o clock in the evening of the 7th, there was a dense fofti isihi were token in; snnlnssjanA on half speed and fog bells used. Bishop's limt wos /TOfeen, though only half a mile distant .

At 2 O'clock, thej deck house, in which wore the wo? rn op and children, was Bwept away; the cries and shrieks of the victim's were heart-rending; then followed a ghastly silence. The smoke-stack fell, crushing Rome of the boots, and two others were carried away; the remainder followed; the1 captain went to the forward bridge. Each Succeeding wave took fresh victims. Some persons sought refuge on the: main and some on the fore-mast At 3 o'clock, the captain and two other officers were on the bridge. The captain descended for a moment to render as? sistance, 'and was swept away?thus perished a brave man. Says Mr. Stein: At thin time, about ten persons were clinging to the rigging of the main-mast and thirty to that of the fore-mast The ship had careened, her yards touching the water aad: the tide was rising. At 5 o'olbolt, the Yog lifted; the survivors shouted, but their cries were unavailing. At 7 o'clock, the main-mast and at a fell. . Then two of the Saint Agnes boats came and rescued a few who had ma? naged to keep afloat' It was reported yesterday that1 there were 103 women on board. ThS rarvivors were taken, to? day) from Per.zance to Plymouth, whence they wiM h+ seat forward to Hamburg, when* the grast ait I excitement pro tails. It isSMertsd that life-?aving belts were issued to the women; it is certain that tho most at the passengers found none. Art ?orderwaa given that the first boat should takS ithe women and children; this boat capsixed. Pd lern an says: Seven boats were htnnobred arid only Wo lived, tho others were stove in and swamped immediately. I Crlee for help lasted until 3 o'oIooS. "The "last voice hoard was that of o little child in the cabin. It is not probable tho boats could have lived, even if they had been successfully Ailed. The whole number save* is forty-four. Forty bodies have boen recovered; 1 Mr. Dorrien Smith, of the ScfuVy Islands, writes to the Thnts that many additional live* were lost; be? cause the gmns and rockets flrod from | tho' flehUle* were thought to be tnstsly ordinairy sf?rrds of arrival, which have frequently seen the cause of false alarm*.

May 10.?The sen is too heavy to-day for boats to approach the wreck of the steamship Schiller. No floating salvage of any importance has yet been recovered. The fishermen report that the Schiller is firmly settled on the rocks and will not fall off into deep water; although it is difficult to approach the wreck now, there will bo many days in summer when salvage may be effected. There was a life belt in every one of the Schilier's berths. When the disaster oc? curred, the captain issued orders that ] one should be fastened to every woman. This was done, but the women were drowned by the heavy sea. Boats cruising in the vicinity of the wreck of the steamship Schiller conti? nue to piok up bodies drowned. When the steamer loft St Mary's Island, to-day, near fifty had been found. Seven mail bags, in addition to those reported re? covered, have been saved; they contained mostly San Francisco and Auckland newspapers.

London, May 10.?This morning's Tele? graph, in an editorial article on the meet? ing of the Emperors of Russia and Ger? many, to-day, says it in impossible to conceal the truth that the continental situation wears, this morning, the very gravest aspect; if we wero to say that the question of the future repose of Europe may be. practically solved before forty eight hours have passed, we would Scarcely go beyond the facts. The ten? dency at this hour is decidedly pacific. Other London journals likewise com? ment upon the meeting, but the thought j of war is generally discredited. It is re? ported from Paris that the French Go? vernment positively contradicts the assertion that Germany has recently made representations of a hostile ten? dency. The same despatch contains the statement, believed to be semi-official, that no cause of conflict exists between Germany and France, and that advices from all the capitals of Europe arc of the same tenor, that pacific ideas arc every- | where in the ascendant 1 Rev.

New York, May 10.?Mr. Wheeler, of the Congressional Louisiana Committee, in a letter in relation to the adjustment of differences in that State effected under the award of that committee, says there is a class of people who seem to have expected that the adjustment was to in? augurate a political millcnium in Loui? siana; that henceforth that State was to bo wholly free from the friction which attends the workings of political parties elsewhere. This class will probably prenounce the adjustment a failure, for undoubtedly party warfare will continue to be waged in Louisiana very much as it is in New York and other States of the Union. She will have her dishonest officials and corrupt legislation, as other States have, and she will for years to come stagger along under the load of her accumulated financial burdens, and her obligations may at times go to protest. Louisiana, from her existence as a State, has had an exceptionally stormy record? this condition of things arising from a diversity of races and character in the State, with almost unavoidable disturb? ances growing out of the war, and the upheaval and very foundations of labor and society is not to be changed in a day by any one act, however beneficial; nevertheless, I firmly believo that even Louisiana has at last caught inspiration from the new order of things, and that, exhausted as she is with tumult and vio? lence, yet with a just government and the education of her people?tho last just now her greatest need?she will, with steady but slow pace, emerge from what seemed to bo her utterly helpless condition. There is another olass who will regard the adjustment as a failure? those who sought in it simply partisan advantages, without arrogating anything for the gentlemen who composed tho late Congressional Committee on South? ern Affairs. I think. I may safely claim for them that they are not of this class. Regarding the allegation that one of tho provisions of the adjustment has already been violated by the Democrats, Wheeler says ho cannot subscribe to the truth of this allegation; the arbitrators had nothing to do but to pass open the claims of the members and Senators who should sign the agreement Of course, the award could affect no one else. It was merely advisory to the Republican members of the General Assembly. It could not and did not seok directly to interfere with the rights of the members then sitting, and who had certificates of the Returning Board, but whose scats were claimed by Democrats. After the | Democrats left the House on the 4th of . January, and some timo during the win? ter session, the Republicans unseated four Democratic members, who held cer? tificates of the Rcturcinglkiard,and whose names were on the list of members used by the Republican Clerk. At the attempted organization in January, no one of these four Democrats, who were reseated at the recent extra session of the Legislature, of which complaint is made, was a party to the articles of ad? justment; no one can be found in Louisi? ana to assert that ftt the time these four Democrats were unseated, there was a J[uorum of the House present. So these bur Democrats had never been legally deprived of their scats; but it is replied by those who impute bad faith to the Democrats, that the agreement contains this provision: "The House of Repre? sentatives, as to its members as consti? tuted under the award, shall remain without change except by the resignation or death of members until a new general election," and tbia condition has been violated. The Democrats never ques? tioned the action of the Returning Board except in the oases referred to the committee. They were willing, with these exceptions, to abide by it. My un? derstanding of the above provision is that tho Houso of Representatives was.to be as returned by the Returning Board, after the errors of that board had been corrected in cases specified in the agree? ment by the award Of the committee and its adoption by the,House of Bepresehta ?res. The parties to the agreement hav g tfadeho stipulation in these cases, ?cann^ty ' -felty"^ to deprive ,%| (j?a v ' ??rtftnrf a these four members of the seats to which they had~been declared elected *hy the JBM sii mi pgjL Board, and of which "less 1 IWrfyof the members." of tho House ofltepresentativee had attempted to deprive them.' These four men being legally entitled to their seats, having done nothing to forfeit them, their re? instatement was an act of simple justice, which all fully understanding the acts must approve." Mr. Wheeler says, touching the allegations of bad faith by the Democrats, that they did not act co? vertly. He details the opposition mani? fested upon the first acceptance of tho articles of adjustment ami says: "On the day preceding the meeting of tho late extra session of the Legislature, I met at the rooms of Gen. Sheridan prominent Republican officials and Col. Leonard, of tho Shreveport limes, who had been a leading man in the negotiations on the Democratic side. The matter of the four members was fully discussed in Gen. Sheridan's room, and Leonard dis? tinctly informed us that he wished no concealment, and that it was due to us that he should inform us that if the award of the committee should be adopted by the House, the Democrats would promptly reseat the four members. This statement is but simple iostico to Col. Leonard and those whom he repre? sented.. I Can easily perceive how parties at a.distance, without knowledge of the facts in detail, should! deem the Demo-* orats guilty of non-obeervanee of the provision which I have oited; but I can? not. Common justice which ought to characterize parties as well as individuals entitles them to this explanation. The Republican party has now put itself in the right in Louisiana. The action of both parties in the future will be watched by th?? country, and the people will meto out to each the judgment which, by its acts, it shall have entitled itself, and to that tribunal tho matter may safely be confided.
