Th ahiu nar rowly escaped being wrecked upon tba? rock of beilly. and as she entered the haibor a trernendous peal ot thunder did duty for the ramie wliich tne commander of the port could find no reaaonf in naval etiquette for firing.

An embarra honors, indeed, poured in from every quarter. Commander Hartateai dined with th i'retddent of the Royal Oe4-'raphical Society, and was Introduced to ljidy Franlln, with whom he paeet an evening in discuss. the pro priety of sending tha recovered kesoluta to the rescue of her husband. The Interview closed with a tearful requrtt by the loyal and loving Jady that Commantier Hart stein would bring the matter to the Botiea of her Majesty Queen Victoria at tgje eailiest opportunity. This be did, at the date of the Queen visit to the Resolute at Ccwea.

Where the Commander formally restored tue vessel to her Majesty aervir in a neat addreis. Subsequently Commander Hartxtein dined with! he Queen at Osborne I'aiar. and with Lord I'almerston, then Premier, at Uroadlanda. A British ft iitate was proffered by lb Lords of Admiralty to earort Commander Hartstein to any port in tne Unitjed States he might desicnats. The offer was at firsts accepted, but.

Con areas not being in session, its withdrawal was subsequently requested, and Commander Hartstein and his officers retnrned to America in a 'ew- Vork mail steamer.

Tba proeaedlBg ware hot of a vary interesting character, aad few facta peyond hose heretofore published war elicited. dr. Di ay, tha woman la whose hoase Emma (ailina i as placed after her removal from tha House it Merc: waa cross-examined at length.

8he aaid Ctnma expreesed herself as ashamed of her contact wit 1 Casalna, and had said she expected never again to able to obtain a situation in tha City on keeount tha notoriety attached to the proceeding i ike girl told the witness her parents had not, by tBelr cr telly, driven her from home, bat that aha bad bee: entiaed away by Catsine i Emma aaid she ka afri ot Castina, and that ha followed her at tight. Mrs. Collin, th mother of Emma, and another vitne gave tome unimportant testimony, had thei the plaintiff's case was closed. JThom J. Cottman, Oen.

Caaaina's eounsel, made tkeopei log speech for the defense. He aaid they Would 1 imlt Cassina'i Intimacy with Emma, and that the did not dispute Mr. Collins' right to recover so ne damages. Such damages, he insisted, should 1 simply the value of the service lost to Jdtr. Col tut, and should not be of an exemplary or pnnltlv nature.

The girl was unchaste at tha time Ee met lasting, and her parents knew It, and they connive at her eondnet with the view ot making Honey i ut of the case. Mexander S. William, who arrested Casalna ant Mis Collin in Second-avenue in June lat. wa the II rat -witness. The main feature of hi testimony it a denial of the statement that Cassina bad given a memorandum addressed to hit counsel Whlrb a witness had handed to the plaintiff.

Mr. Collins wore posltivelv to this the day before, Bruce, a handsome looking blonds, then tetift( She excused herself for not speaking loudly I erause of a bad cold from which she is suf feting. It seems that she worked in a store in rsnd reel with Emma. They frequently went home ti The witness and a gentleman friend of.hers lad taken Emma to theatres. She refused to give he name of her gentleman friend.

A her oro ei imination tha plaintiff counsel aimply read an affltl vit, in which the witnen iweart she believed is Collins to be entirely chaste until her aequair Lnnce with assina. i Majo Ferrlck, of th Eleventh Regiment, testified that hi met Emma Collins at a ball sha was intro-: duced him as Sadie Colwlns he afterward met Her by appointment ard went to the theatre with her. A strong effort was made to ascertain whether tlie wit ess had been improperly intimate with Mis Collins but after some evasions he denied that he 1 ever hn I been. He said he is a man of family and that keep a restaurant. He admitted having Wild thi defendant' couusot that he would not crlral-ate hi nself.

i Mary Orube, a young dress-maker, and Emma Suhr tt -n testified in surceuion. The only material fact el cited was from the last-named witness, who Said si knew that Emma Collins had been out of Work 1 etween Xovem'oer, 1377. and Mareh, 187S, during rhirh period, according to the plaintiff' testimony she had been giving her parents 156 per week. In rebuttal Mr Colline was eaUed. He reiterated ii assertion that Capt.

William bad handed him a from Cassina which was addressed to the letter's eounsel at the time of the arrest. The case Will be summed up SBJCLD A REFEREE TAKE AS OA TH Mark uncertainty and some aaeaftineKS have een eftited by the efforts on the part of lawyers to ascertain the exact meaning of that provision of the $ew requiring Referees to be sworn', and the gueitiqV wa presented to the General Term of the Comm Pleas, which decided the matter yesterday. The ea is was one brought by Emllle Xaton against a lawyer named Benjamin L. Luddlngren to recover damagi for alleged conversion of gas stocks. The tuit wi 1 referred to ex-Judge Emott.

who after a iumbe of, hearinge reported in favor of Mr. Naion to the (mount of 63.970. Then Luddington aeems to havi had hit attention called to the fact that the Iteferel had not been sworn. and he ttioved before Judso Larremore to set aside the 1 port as irregular. Judge denied the motion.

An appeal wa taken to the fieneri 1 Term, Luddington insisting that there should have 1: en an express written waiver of the osth of the Re 'eree. Judge Van Hoesen, who write the opinio 1 of the General Term. ay that the failure of the R- feree to be sworn 1 a mere irregularity, not a Juriad stional defect. The primary object of ti new Jiroviston is to protect infants and absentees. iJ'Wlmre there are infant parties." he savs, "or' tvhere there Is a party not personally present, nor Jepres fnted by eounsel, the oath of the Referee can-Jiot beidiapensed with.

But where a party is of full age an a present In person or represented by eounsel. What i eason is there why he or his legal adviser houl not ask the Referee to be sworn i principle of ethics or of law requii that a defendant and his counsel, after 1 itrtiripating day after day in a long-contested trial ithout troubling themselves to Inquire whether Ah cferee ha been shown, should be permitted, ascertain that the report I atrainst them, to pr kit an objection that the required oath ha not been I a ken I Ought a party thus to be allowed to ispcen ate on the chances of a decision in hi favor I JSectidp 1.010 of the Code ear th oath mav be "ex waived.

A written or an oral stipulation, that the 1 waived. i necessarily an "expres waiver th oath.

He hold that the law of waiver applies, kni that there mav still be a waiver, by lmpli-icatlot of the Referee oath. Such a waiver oc-nrre in the present rase, he holds, and the order of Judg Larremore is affirmed, with costs snd disburse-nenti Chief-Justice Daly concurs in tha decision. 4 CASE OF JUSTIFIABLE ASSAULT.

SENATE. PROVrCINO FOR CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT. BILL Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, introduced a bill te authorize tbe lata of eertlSeates of deposit. Laid on the tal la to be referred to the Commit te on Finance when appointed.

It authorize the. of the Treasury to issue, ip exchange for United States notes or coin, certificates ot deposit of the denomination of tlU, or any multiple thereof, not exceeding 8100. bearing interest at tha rate of 3.65 per cent, per annum, and convertible at any time within one year into tha 4 per cent, bonds described in the Refunding act and money so received shall be applied to tbe payment of tue 5.20 bonds in the mode prescribed by said act and Is authorized to prescribe suitable rules and regulation in conformity with this act. LEGALIZING THE TRADE DOLLAR, i Mr. Paddock, of Nebraska, submitted a resolution instruetin; the Committee on Finance to inquire into the expediency of making the trade dollar a legal tender for all debts, publia and private, pro-Tiding for the suspension ot the coinage of the standard silver dollar of 4l2tj grains, the reeolnage of the same into tbe trade dollar of 420 grains, and for such additional coinage of the trade dollar aa tbe needs of the country may demand.

Mr. EoMi-ras, of Vermont I think that that bad better lie over. So ordered. SILVER COIN- IK PATT4EHT OF OCT IE 5. Mr.

BtCK. of Kentuaery. submitted tbe following fUtnlvtJ, That tbe Seere'arv of tba Treasury be and Is hereby directed to inform tbe Senate what amount and denomination of silver coin baa be received in per-tnent of Custom due slno the beginning of the current fiscal year, and whether or not lie ha applied the tllvercoin rteeived, in whole or in part to th payment of the interest on the bonds or notes of the United btatea. If It has not been ao applied, to state the reaaon why If it ha been applied to that purpose, in part onlv, to state what portion has been so used, end on what character of obllga'inn: alao, that he be directed to Inform the Senate the amount of interest be has paid 00 bonus and note of the I' tilled States since the car-rent Sural year liegan, and tha amount ot such Interest he haa paid In gold and ailver respectively. Mr.

Edmcxds I should like to have that amended so as to have the Seeretary show what kind of silver eoin has been used, so we may know if there was subsidiary eoin paid. Mr. Bscs said he wouid not object to such an amendment, and, aa tha amended, tha resolution was agreed to. THE OLD STAND INO COMMITTEES CONTINUED. 1 On motion of Mr.

AxTHOxy, of Rhode Island, it waa ordered that the Senate proceed to the election of tbe standing committees. Mr. AXTHONy then submitted a resolution that the standing and other rommlttees of tne Senate, exlstiag at the close of the laat session, be and the same are hereby revived and continued. Agreed to unanimously. It waa then ordered that all bill, petitions, heretofore presented be tssen from the table and referred to the proper committees.

THE TEXAS PACIFIC RAILROAD. The morninff business haviniz been concluded. If r. Matthiws. of Ohio, railed up the Senate bill in the calendar from ihe last session, known as the Texas i'actflc Railroad bill, and said he did so for Ihe purpose ot diacuaaiag it.

He then spoke at length in favor of the bill, and said at the proper time he would submit cert-tin amendments for tne purpose of making the Mil conform to a similar bill now pending in tbe noose, i nese amendment did not, however, affect the general substance of the bill. Congreta had already determined by deliberate acts of legislation that national interest required th construction of an additional transcontinental railroad on or near the thirty-second parallel. He then reviewed the various provisions of the bill, as well as the act a of Congress in regard to the Union andCentral Pacific Roads, and argued that the Government would merely guar antee the payment of Interest on bonds of the Texas Pacific Hoad to tbe extent of nearly 82.0O0.00O per annum. It wa manifest that tne indemnity to the Government was perfect. Ultimate loss by the Government waa rendered Impossible nnless it should turn out that after the completion of the road it was not wortn the accrued Interest, but snrh a supposition was not to be entertained.

He did not believe the Government of the United State would be called upon to make any advsnres out of its own trasury. The Texa Pacific Road, akirting as It wou.d the southern bonndarv of tbe United States. would form a base line from which lateral line would radiate, attracting a new and profitable trade, and soon a market would be found for the products of the United States in Mexico. The genera! Influence ot such a trade over our national interests with Mexico would be powerfuL The construction of the Texas Pacific Head would open by legitimate means the northern' States of Mexico to industrial colonies. He spoke at length ot the expense incurred by the Government in transporting troop and supplies to Arizona and elsewhere, and argued that the construction of the Texaa Pacific Koad would result in a saving to the Government of mere than J.OOO.OOO per annum.

It waa not fair nor jntt to the present measure to dispose of it upon the summary objection that it was a subsidy. He argued that the cost of operating the Texas Peeiflo Road would be less than that of operating the Union or Centra! Pacific Road. The Texas Pacific would be a line free from obstruction by snow at any season. He then sp of the constitutional power of Congress to regulate commerce, aad said tbe Texaa Pa cific bill soould be passed as a matter of justice to the Southern States, as the Government owed protection to all and demanded obedience alike from all. He believed that if the bill should become a law its benefle-nt infiuenee would Ve felt not In tbe South alone, but throughout the whole country- At the conclusion of Mr.

Matthews' remarks, the hill resumed iu place upon the calendar. THE HOT SPRINGS BILL. Mr. Cowovir, of Florida, submitted the following Thst a committee of three Senator, to be appointed by tne Chair, be directed to investigate and report to the Senate how or in what manner a seetiou Iu the bill tlous Reports No. 5.

ot Vermont, went into executive session, and when the doors were reopened, adjourned until 12 o'clock to-murrow, HOUSE OF BEPRESENTATIVES. NOT ABSENT OR DO DO IN 0. Mf.

19: One is the lets astonished at the free manner la which M. De Bismarck speaks ot France and bar most respected statesmen when one sees that at mo menta when be em, aa' it were, inebriated by sense of hi power and hi successes, he soeaka. possible, with atiil leu respect of his compatriots of toe highest ranka. even tba representative of the sex in high eirelee find ao mercy from hie un gallant spirit. Thus, he happened one dav to call ladies of very nigh position loreAoa.

(behiirm. Thi word. If a correspondence In the Vienna Pr ot Nov. 11 Is to be believed, caused a great emotion in tbe Court of Berlin. Among those ladles of high posi tion, one or toe other seems to have carried a com plaint to the Prinee Imperial and to hav asked that ana and her family shoal be protected against tha irreverent attacks of tba Chancellor.

It seems almost Impossible not to aee in this news tbe echo ef reports- at least exaggerated, and one can hardly credit that 'the Empress and Prtn cess Imperial need to be protected againat tha Chancellor. It most evidently be supposed' that the memory of tbe secretary haa at times iuvelun tariiy betrayed the thought of tbe Chancellor, aad that the enemies whom Al. De Bismarck haa created at th Court do not fall to tarn against him not only his actual intemperate language, bat all tha inaccurate details which may hav allpped into tbe journal of M. Busch. It is for the same reaaon that we receive with even more reserve another report contained in tbe same letter and ac cording to which It seems impoasibie that tbe Caen oellor should hold his position in the face of the amo tion caused by the revelations ot bis secretary.

It seems, however, beyond doubt that these revelations have created a profound irritation in more than one circle. bave seen that tbe family of M. De Goltz proposes to take legal proceedings against Busch, and it seems admissible that tha Chancel lor. aa the correspondent of the Prtttt, of Vienna, announces, haa fait the necessity ot asking an audience with the Prince Imperial for the purpoee of making expfaoatlone to bim. A news paper subject to tbe influence of M- De Biamarek.

tbe Pott, of Berlin, declared, moreover, the other day that tae Chancellor would bave liked to prevent tbe publication of tbe book, In which the intermediate phrases, wbicb softened or explained certain stnklnr words, have been put aside to give place to thea. words Tbe feci added that tbe Chancellor was obliged 'to make an appeal to tha intelligence of the reader, who Is brought face to face with declara tions deprived ot tneir natural "In its desire to excuse tbe Chancellor, tha Berlin journal has gone, perhaps, a little too far in affirm ing that M. De Bismarck regrets tae publication of the memoirs of bis seeretary. Indeed, M. Beach relates an Incident in bis second volume proving that this publication wa sot altogether an unexpected occurrence lor the Chancellor.

Councillor Abeaen one evening made the observation that I was arritiag very exact memoirs, and added. It will one day be a source ot Information for history." "Yea," I answered, "certainly, it will be a source worthy of confidence in 30 years perhaps." -The chief' smiled, and aaid, "Ye, aud then it will be aaid, Ctere Chapter 3. page 20." From all thi It teem to result that th memoir of M. Bosch deserve confidence as' whale, but that tha Chancellor may and ought. Indeed, to regTet that certain words pronounced by him bava taken la tbe Journal a more a-greeslve character than they had In eouversation, the journal not having noted all the transitions."
