Ia a late number cf the Brooklyn (N Y.) Etgle, among the officers elect of the "Franklin Literary Society," we notice the name cf William R. Caale, of this city, as Vice President. . Schooner Kamoi. We regret to iear the general conviction that tnU fine coaster, befcre reported as aahore on Molokai, will prore a total loss. The Southerly weather now setting in, will probably create a surf that will break her up. The Congress of the United States assembled on the 1st of December, and organized, the House of Representatives by re-electing Blaine as Speaker. On the 2d, the President's Message was presented. It is a long document, and occupies 5 or C columns in the papers. , Cattle ox the Plain. The recent rains have caused the grass to spring up on the Kulaokahua plains, and as a consequence cattle and horses are roaming at large there to such an extent as to become a nuisance. And nobody seems to have any authority or responsibility in tho matter. Firemen's Meetings. Vt'e are requested to state that there will be a special meeting of Engine Com pany No. 1, at their rooms on Monday evening next. Also that an adjourned meeting of Engine Com pany No. 2, will be held at their rooms on Wednes day evening next. Significant Order. It is said that Secretary of the Navy Robeson, in his circular order to command ers of navy yards to get into a state of readiness for active service, added as a postscript these cabalistic words : "And CUBA little quick about it." Retrenchment. Edward Higgins, agent of the Pacific Mail S. S. Co. in San Francisco, ia out in a card in which he announces to the employees of the company that a rigid system of economy has been entered upon, and that it is necessary to reduce the pay of old and tried employees. A Hawaiian in Tiiut lti.i:. We clip the following from tin Ortyonian of Nov. 29 tli : Kanaka Jnr is on trial this we'k at Olynipia lor th iniiiili r of Capt. Dwyer and his wife on San .Itian Islmd several months ago. The Washington Territory Legislature made a special appropriation of $700 to pay for the arrest, examination and de tention of Joe at Victoria. : Rather Steei. The S. F. Bulletin ia informed by Col. Steinburger, that "The Samoa trade in Copra (dried cocoanut) amounts to more than the entire sugar product of the Hawaiian Islands." No figures ro 6litu lu tuu-K up tUlj '-itliui oiccp " statement. Our sugar product, estimating the price at four centa per pound, amounts to a little short of one million dollars per annum. Hawaiian Ferns. A friend has laid on our table a neatly printed pamphlet of some fourteen pages, with the title "A Short Synopsis of Hawaiian Ferns. By John M. Lidgate. 1873." Mr. Lidgate ia known to some of our readera as a land surveyor, now on Hawaii, who haa evidently improved hia opportuni ties of travel among our mountains to indulge hia taste for botany. He gives a list of some twenty or more classes of island ferns, with their botanical nomenclature and description. Crveltt to Animals. Sometimes we think we need a Burgh among us, when we see the heaitless way in which dray horses are treated by their drivers. Ln.st Monday we observed a dray coming up Fort street, with a full load of firewood, which the not over stout horse had great difficulty in dragging through the miry street. Indeed, tho distressed condition of the animal as kid driver urged him along, attracted general attention from passers by. Gov. Dominis coming along just then, ordered the man to take off half his load. Knights ok Pythias. At a regular convention of Oahu Lodge No. 1, held on Wednesday evening Jan. 7th, the following officers for the ensuing term were installed by the D. G. C. David Dayton : James II. Black P. C.

After the installation the brethren sat down to a bountiful and appetizing supper at RycroU's. and several hours were very agreeably spent in social inter course. . Naval. II. B. M'a steam corvette Tenedot ar rived in port on Monday afternoon. She experienced very stormy weather during the passage, but made a fair run across of fourteen days.

A Noble British Oiticer. Among the various accounts of the butchery cf tbe prisoners of the I'irginius, we find the fallowing record of the prompt an I effectual action of Commander Lorraine of the British war vessel .Vt'o4 . The British war vessel .Xiobe and her commander, Lorraine, left Jamaica in such haste that several of her crew, who were ashore on leave, were left be hind. He hardly stopped to cast anchor at Santiago before he Lasteued ashore and protested against the killing of any more of the firginius crew. General Burriel answered him saucily in a letter, saying that every execution that had been ordered would be pro ceeded with. Commander Lorraine instantly return- j el a reply that in the absence of an American man- j of-war, he would protect not only the interests of hia ' country, but those of the United States, and that if i Burriel harmed a hair of another prisoner he would bombard the city. It was generally believed at San tiago that this action cf the British Commander saved the lives of the rest cf the Virginius crew. Commander Lorraine afterwards obtained five copies of the process of the Court Martial condemning them to death, two of which he intended to transmit to our Government, and two others to hia own.

Throughout December and well into January, w have been favored with abund ant 'rains. The country has put on its full robe of green, and the noise of the prattling brooks and purling streams is once mere heard in the land. What a pity it is, that while so much water is run ning to waste into the sea, we have n;t a good large reservoir in which to store up a supply against next summer ! Deep Sea Soundings. By the fallowing paragraph which we clip from the .Jfi of December IS, it will be seen that the Tuscorora, of the deep sea sounding expedition, may be expected here before many weeks. The United States steamer Tuscorora came down from Mare Island yesterday, and haa received orders U make another sounding expedition. She will first proceed to San Diego, thence to Honolulu, and then to Japan. Her sounding equipment, it will be re membered, consists of two apparatuses, one in which the sounding line is cf rope, and which has to be hauled in with an engine; and the other cf piano wire, which is worked by hand. She will only take the last mentioned apparatus with her. Ma. Stewart's Case, From the S. F. Chronicle of December 20th, we clip the following : J. B. M. Stewart, formerly President cf the Poly nesia Land Company, was arrested on Thursday on a charge of obtaining money under false preteuses. It is alleged that he received $050 from that Com pany, which he appropriated to his own use. He was subsequently released upon giving 1,000 bail. The case was called yesterday morning in the Police Court, but continued until to-day. Yesterday after noon the Secretary of the Company, through his at torney, J. W. Roper, filed an additional complaint in the Police Court, charging Stewart with embezzle ment The Company asserts that while Stewart was President he received from them a check for $1,800 to be expended for their use and benefit The check was made payable on Messrs. Goddcfroy and Lillem, and was afterwards cashed by Stewart. It is alleged that Stewart, instead of expending the money for the purposes of the Company, converted it to his own use and benefit. A warrant waa issued, and bail fixed at $3,000. The warrant was served last evening by an officer, and Stewart was released on giving a bail bond in the sum of $3,000. Australian and American M. S. S. Co. We find the following in the S. F. Mewt Letter of Dec. 20th : By the politeness of Messrs. J. C. Merrill & Co., agents for the above line, we are enabled to lay be fore our readera some particulars cf the service. A contract has been entered into by which tbe boats are to be built and commence running in one year. In the interim, to lose no time, the Company has chartered four large steamers, the first of which, the McGregor, leaves Sydney on tho 20th of this month, and will sail from San Francisco on the re turn trip on the 31st of January, and be followed by other steamers every 28 days. The contract for the permanent service is for a period of six years, thirteen round trips to be performed each year. The boats are to be 2,500 tons gross, or 2,000 tons regis ter. The ships of the main line are, on alternate voyages, to run through, to and from the port of Sydney, N. S. W., and to and from Port Chalmers, N. Z. ; and on the voyages alternating with these, the mails, passengers and cargo for N. S. Wales and New Zealand are to be trans-shipped at Kandavu (Fiji) into ships of eual tonnage and speed with those of the main line. The contract time between Sydney and San Francisco is to be COO hours, say 25 days, with penalties of $750 a day for overdue time up to 30 days, and $250 over the 30 days. The contract time between New Zealand and the Ameri can terminus will of course be of corresponding guaranteed speed. The route to be to and from Syd ney and San Francisco via Kandavu, and to and fcom Port Chalmers and San Francisco via Lyttleton, Wellington, Auckland and . K&ndavu. calling off impici ctHiu way. ine coioniea of New South vvales and New Zealand have agreed to support this line with a subsidy of 40,000 each. The Company lias made arragementa to book passengers through from Australasia to Europe via San Francisco, the Central and Union Pacific Railroads, and the Atlantic steam er. Tb tafia that- it lit bcviuc to Uau Finuvbw by the establishment of this line can hardly be over estimated. The following is the list of the principal officers of the Company : Henry Parkes, Colonial Secretary N. S. W., Sydney; W. H.

The co-education of the sexes in schools and in stitutions of learning ia a subject which haa been very much discussed of late years in the United States especially in New England and its advo cates have been very loud and strenuous. An oppo nent has however arisen lately that disturbs them not a little. Dr. Edward II. Clarke is a Boston physician of great eminence, having a very extensive practice. He is a thorough-going Bostonian, a per fectly conscientious man, formerly a Professor at Harvard, and now a member of the Board of Over seers of that ancient university. Now Dr. Clarke has written and published a book entitled " Sex in Education." in which he takes strong ground against the co-education of the sexes, raising the issue that the decision of the question must be based on grounds purely physiological. He does not assume to decide that the intellectual character of the education of girls should be different from that of boys. But he does assert, and he fortifies his assertion with power ful physiological arguments, that beys and girls must not be educated in the same way, that is, in the matter of regimen and drill they must be treated differently. In his own words : " The sustained reg imen, regular recitations, erect posture," daily walk, persistent exercise, unintermittent labor that trans forms a boy and makes a man cf him, can only be partially applied to a girl.' ' And further : " Iden tical education of the two sexes is a crime before God and humanity, that physiology protests against and that experience weeps over." The Doctor points to the German system of education of the youth, shows that it is essentially different from ours, and declares his belief that is the only one which will train up girls as they should be trained, in body, mind and soul. He looks with very little favor upon the strong-minded woman, deeming that kind of development abnormal. Naturally, Dr. Clarke's fctatements have made a powerful impression. His experience as a physician has been of a kind to put him in possession cf a mountain cf information bearing upon the question, and weight is added to hia testimony by his evident conscientiousness in treating the subject. The cur rent of discussior, is likely to be now turned in an entirely new direction, for the issue now raised is certainly paramount to any in other in this connection Supreme Court January Term.

Nrw Yof.k. November 21th, 1S73. ni: tamc. Symptoms cf a financi-il crash were evident at the time cf isy list, ia September; cne or two small houses bad suf penJe-J, but no large concern except the New York Wsrchou?? an 1 Security Company; following that and c'.o-sc'y connected therewith, Francis Skid ly was compelled to suspend. Kertyon, Ccx A: Co. were the next on the list, and it Uvame evident that mtIous trouble waa impending. The bears were buai!y engagtsl in crowding down every thing they could gi t hold of, but finally the market became too wild L.r them to manage, and every body cried Stand from under '." Thursday, September lv.b. epened gWuiily; ex citement waa at a fever heat la the morning it waa reported that George Opdyke had failed, and a whole line cf stocks went crashing down. The Stock Ex change presented a wild scene, and the shouting was deafening. Several failures wer? announced during the day; at each the panic grew but about the mid lie of the afternoon the new cf the uspeusion cf Jay Cooke & Co., in New York, Philadelphia and Washington, blew such a whirlwind into the etrcet that nothing could and before it, and eTery atook on the list fell faster than the cooleat could keep track of. It U reported that Jay Gould invaded the street then and sold short, almost unlimited atock. Thursday evening closed upon a city full cf anxious forebodings cf more trouble, which were only too true, for Friday, the UUh, proved a more terrible day than has vibited the street since the memorable Black Friday in September, 1SCV aud in many n pecti it waa worse. Instead cf coolness and renewed confidence having come with the night, the day opened with general smashing and panic the scene in the stock-rooms was beyond description. Every few minutes, the sharp ring cf the President's gavel brought silence and the crowd struggled fotward to hear only cf more suspensions, each one meaning ruin to many all through society; and the confusion became worse than ever. Valuable stocks were abso lutely thrown away, ami good securities sacrificed. At last came the failure cf Fisk and Hatch. The news was stupifying; men stood bereft cf speech, then glancing around saw only terror and despair. It was silent as the grave for a few seconds, then the whole mass rushed from the building into the streets uttering fearful yells, then poured back into the rooms, then swayed back to the streets like a tidal wave rising and falling with threateuings of de struction. It was a scene never to be forgotten. The spectators in the galleries were affected aud 'wcro moved by some nameless terror. Ladies shed tears and men trembled with uncontrollable agitation. It may seem foolish ta those not present and unaffected by the sight and sound, but ouoe experienced the memory of the sensations will live forever. After the failure of Fiek and Hatch, business was virtually suspended, for the absurd transactions following were unworthy of such a name. Cautious buyers might have made fortunes, and it is known that a few reaped a golden harvest. Jay Gould made good his " short " sales of the previous few days by heavy purchases at almost nominal prices. Harlem fell from 129.J on Tuesday to 90 on Friday; Western Union dropped from 90J to55; Lake Shore, 91 to 79; Rock Island, IOC to 87; Panama, 115 to 81; Pacific Mail, 45 to 31; Union Pacific, 25 to 1G; and thus throughout the list. Poor stocks became about worthless, but the surprising feature was the im mense fluctuations of good railroad bonds and stocks; that Harlem should drop nearly forty cents was the height of insanity. Indeed tho whole panic seemed needless to outsiders, but it was inevitable. Saturday, the 20th, was a gloomy day. The ex citement was worse than before, and utterly ruined many who had survived the previous days. At last the managers of the Stock Exchange turned out the mob for such had become the crowd of brokers and closed the doors. Street operations, though for bidden, became the rule till late iu the day, when people suddenly concluded to go home, aud at five o'clock almost a Sunday quiet reigned on Wall and Broad streets. It was amusing to see the crowds or country people who had been attracted by the news cf a " Wall street panic " into the city. They crowded every corner, the steps of the Sub Treasury and Custom House were thronged, aud if two anx ious looking men stopped anywhere to converse, they nciv oa vuw puuvnudvU Cj m mvok 2ut.uovl ! u tee ested group, to judge from the open mouths and listening attitudes. It is said that two Custom House, clerks laid a wager that a crowd could be collected by nothing. At any rate, about half-past two in the afternoon cf Saturday, a man ran quickly down tho steps cf the Custom House to the middle of the street, and shading his eyes, gazed intently at Trinity Spire, then ran back, whispered a word, and again, stand ing in the street, looked. Two or three more went out to see, then people on the side-walks stopped and looked; more ran out on the street; a cart stopped and the driver looked up at Trinity; a crowd began to collect; people asked, " what is it?" Nobody knew so it was a mystery; windows opened and heads were thrust out, a crowd collected; on tbe cross streets everybody began to run towards Wall street, and soon an immense jam was created, which was broken and travel resumed only after great ex ertion on the part cf the police. It was one of the curious incidents of the day, and showed the condi tion of mind in which people were. Sunday, the 21st, was a day of feverish excitement. All day long the Fifth Avenue Hotel was thronged with spectators of all sorts, politicians and commer cial men, and transactions were very extensive and heavy. President Grant was in the city and held consultations with leading capitalists. His action deserves the highest credit. Not for a moment did he lose presence of mind. Though expressing the greatest sympathy for tho unfortunates rrho were in trouble, and offering to do all the law allowtd for the general relief, yet he steadily refused assent to argu ment or entreaty regarding the $-11,000,000 reserve in the Treasury. All that could be said in favor of loaning it to the bank was said, but the President was determined in his refusal. President Grant won by his action regarding the panic, the hearty com mendation of the best men of all parties and the praise cf tbe leading papers, and it is to be regretted that subsequent events have been such as to with draw from him the general approbation, for it is certain that the reserve has been encroached upon and part of it thrown upon the country, contrary to the intent cf the Act of Congress withholding the $4 1,000,000 reserve. An arrangement was made by which the government bought largely of its bonds; the result being to materially assist in restoring con fidence. The week following Sept. 21st was unsettled and troubled, but gradually business was resumed. Time has elapsed so that the panic may now be calmly reviewed and its lesson learned. The imme diate and primary cause was the vast schemes cf railway building with which the country, especially the west was filled. Ever since the war, that indus try has been crowded till it far exceeded the needs of the country or the ability cf support. It has not been conducted upon the correct basis. Roads have been built upon mortgages representing nothing; instead of money being furnished and the road built, and mortgaged for further construction, the plan has been to issue bonds and mortgages before a rod was turned or a rail purchased ; naturally such security was worth fir les3 than its face; oftentimes interest has been paid upon $1,000,000 of notes for which less than half a million was received. Almost with out exception the new roads when constructed fail to pay expenses, and are mortgaged already for twice their value. The west is full cf such roads, which must inevitably pass from the hands cf those who. constructed them and the fruit be plucked by stran gers. It is asked, do the capitalists suffer the Joss? Oh no, very rarely. The losers are the mortgages who are generally the workingmen, the widows and orphans. Such people invest where there is promise of good security and a high rate of interest. The three or four hundred miles cf Northern Pacific now constructed were built upon the perianal credit of Jay Cooke. He has had the reputation of possessing untold million", but the load waa too much for him. Fiak and Hatch wer crushed by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway; the Union Trust Company, by loans to tbe Lake Shore road, to pay a dividend never earned. And so a long lilt might t added. - A uoiher eaaae, which eventually would have brought ruia, ia tho great citrnvasane cf the peo. pie.

Now fr a look at Ihe condition cf tbe country.

The crrpe with locaf exception were good the cotton crop of the South having been excoeded in amount only thrice aincv the country was settled. Manufac turing interests were on the high road t sucee and fortune; the Sjuth waa a!rety growing in wealth and prorperity, and manufacture) were arising in all of tlioo States; notably the ship building internd cf the nation were reviving in spite of the weak national policy regarding that industry. But like a tiger-spring cauie the panic and ruin results The very first etli-ct was an immediate su5peniou cf rail road operations throughout the country, anil a gen eral discharge of employee in thc-ir work-ln i" ; then rolling mills were forced to curtail, an I gradu ally the effect wsj general In all manufactoties. Cotton and other mill in New England suspended altogether or discharged large numbers of operative. Rumors of trouble iu great commercial hcuic begin to float about They became definite aud the Spragites of Providence, R. I , were said to lx on the verge of bankruptcy. Their New York bouse, Hoyt, Sprague & Co., suspended payments, and tho great manufac turer were compelled to call their creditors aud nk an iuvcMigatiou. It disclosed the fact (hat they were perfectly solvent, having an excess of million of assets over liabilities, but the arts were unreal iiable. They are however allowed to go on. but are seriously crippled. Next tt was said, II. 11.

And ia uob a method safo aud right?

The coming wiuter will be one of great and wide spread a tiering to this people. The grim spectres cf hunger and want already overshadow the land. O. K. Late Foreign News. London, Pec. 10.

On reaching Plnza d 'Amies they gathered in front of the palace of the Captain General, where they renewed their shouting, at the same time expressing their disapprobation of tho course of a numlier of prominent persons who havu favored the delivery of tho Virginuit. During these demonstrations several harmless shots wore fired. It is believed that they were accidental. Two Spaniard, who attempted to paoify the mob were severely band led. Tho crowd remained in front of the Palace till midnight. Nkw Yobii, Deo. 13. At a prayer meeting In the Church of the Pilgrims, at Brooklyn, last evening. Rev.

A special to tho 7Ve. from Key West, says Admiral Scott has just received official despatches relative to the delivery of the Vir ginia. She was surrendered to the United Staten representatives on Wednesday at nine o'clock, by the Commander of the Spanish frigate Isabella Catotira, which had con veyed the captured vessel from Havana, and who formally delivered the Virginius to Com mander Whiting, of the United States steamer patch, at Bahia Honda. ' On the arrival cf the Dispatch' at Bahia, the Span, ish Commander, who was awaiting her arrival, visited the vessel, and the instructions cf their respective Governments were mutually interchanged by the two officers. Commander Whiting then placed tho fleet in charge cf the Lieutenant cf the squadron, with Z'i men in charge cf the Virginiut and conveyed her 8 miles out to sea. Tbe Virgiuiut then steamed for Tortugas to take in coal, which had been conveyed there from this port in three seotions, In charge of the sloop-cf-war Otsipee. Cordial civilities were interchanged between Com. mander Whiting and the Spanish Commander. .No ether vessels were present at tho surrender. The Virginiut will sail for Norfolk, Va., after taking in coal. The prisoners are new at Santiago, where they will be formally delivered on the 25th of December, when the American flag will be saluted with 21 guns.

The ttcamer Cuba arrived from Havana yesterday, with interesting particulars cf the feeling there over tbe surrender of tbo Vir giniut. An officer of the Cuba was in Havana oa the day cf the departure cf the Virginiut from thai, port to be released to American authorities at Bahia Honda. He says the populaoe fairly boiled with rage, and about 2,000 volunteers assembled in front of the Louvre and discussed measures for what they charac terized an insult. The armed mob subsequently marched In a body to tbe palace of Captain-General Jouvelar, who appeared and made an address stating that he was merely carrying out the instructions of the Homo Government, who were responsible. He urged the Volunteers to return to their quarters, which they did without doing any violence. The officers say Jouvelar has shown nerve since as suming command, and seems determined to force the Volunteers into submission. If he does, he will make Havana more safe for the Americans than it has been heretofore.
