I have talked with all tbe chiefs and many sold-
iers of both parties; bat one conclusion can be seen;
that ia the Libérala are daily drawing tighter the
already taut reins which the Jsnres psrty hold, snd
soon the msrch of ail detaohmenta of tbe party (af-
ter beating ontside troops) will concentrate upon
tbe capital, where the Libérala are greatly in the
majority.
Zuloaga (seeing his fall close) is about to attempt
to get Santa Anna back; bnt Ecbeagaray hatea San-
ta Anna, and will join the Liberate, if Zuloaga doee
not back oat. Thie would end all.

pretty serious. Twenty-five on one ride and eighty

Burning of steamship Austria—Great
Lota of Life I
Halifax, Sept. 27—All doubt as to the name of
the steamship Been on fire at see on the 15th inst.,
is now at an end. It was the Austria.
Twelve of her paeseogera have arrived at this
port.
They report that only sixty-seven persons were
ssved.
Four hundred and eighty-three souls perished by
the loss of tbe Austria.
Nxw Yoxx, Sept. 29.—One of tbe surviving pas-
sengers of the ill-fated steamship Austria, who ar-
rived here to-day in the steamship Prince Albert,
from Halifax, entimates that thirty persons were
burnt to death In the steerage of the Austria.
He says the flamea spread like lightning, and i:
five mina too all coaiuiuuTvaUuu i\jío aud alt wH
cutoff.
The Captain of the Austria, he aaye, gave up im-
mediately, and made no effort for the safety of tbe
ship and passengers, and tbe helmsman abandoned
the wheel aB soon as the flames burst forth.
This passenger expresses tbe belief that no more
of the passengers and crew are saved than these we
have bad account of.
The fire, it appears, was caused by the upsetting
of a pot of boiling tar, whioh was being used for the
purpose of fumigating the steerage. Those having
obarge of the boiling tar, it is beyond doubt, were
culpably careless.
There appears to have been no discipline among
the crew, and consequently, when the fire broke ont
there was an utter lack of well organized and con-
centrated effort to extinguish the flames.
Tbe Captain of tbe Austria, it further appears,
was destitute of those qualities which are essential-
ly requisite in tbe commander of a ship—coolness,
courage and determination. It is stated that when
he saw the flames bursting forth, he exclaimed.
"We are all lost l" and made no attempt, by issu-
ing orders and by example, to overcome the terrible
danger which impended over ship, passengers and
crew, but at once attempted to launch one of the
boats, and, in doing so, fell overboard and perished
One family of nine persons, it is repreeented, leap
ed into the sea one after another and disappeared
beneath tbe waves. Seven were children.
Tbe pasaengers at Halifax report that tbe fire
commenced on the afternoon of the 14tk in the
steerage, and the ship was immediately pat at half
speed, bnt soon after the magazine exploded, and
the engineers were instantly suffocated.
The fire then spread fearfully, and the ship was
quickly enveloped in flame.
A large number of passengers were instantly suf-
focated in the cabins and smoking room.
Nearly all the first class passengers jumped from
the poop into the sea and perished.
Several ladies remained aboard until their gar-
ments were in flames, and tben leaped overboard.
One boat was launohed and crowded, andqnickly
swamped, and thns many souls perished.
Additional Particulars.
New Yobk, Sept. 27.—The life boat of the Aus-
tria, containing 28 persons, including the first and
third officers of the ship, was picked np.
Four men in a broken boat were also picked up,

that she may have picked up a few more persons,

floating about on pieces of wreck.
Glass Fabbios.—The cost of glass is almost
wholly made up of the wages of labor, as the ma
terials are very abundant, and may be said to cost
almost nothing; and glass is much more easily
worked than any other substances. Hard and brit-
tle si it is, it has only to be heated, and any. other
form tbe workman pleases may be given to it. It
melts but when so hot as to be more susceptible
of form than wax or clay, or any thing else that
we are acquainted with, it still retains a degree of
toughness and capability of extension superior to
that of many solids, and of every liquid; when it
has become red hot, all its brittleness is gone, and
aman may do with it as he pleases. He may press
it into s mould ; he may take a lump of it upon the
•nd an iron tnbe, and by blowing into the tube
with his moutb—keeping the g'ass hot all the
tim. be mav swell it out into a hollow ball. He
may mould that ball inlo a bottle, he may draw it
ont lengthways into a pipe, he may cut It open in
to a cup, be may open it with shears, whirl it
ronnd, with the edge in the fire—and thus make it
into a circular plate. He may also roll it out into
sheets, and spin it into threads as fine as a cobweb;
in short so that he keep it hot, and away from
substances by which it may be destroyed, he can
do with it justas he pleases. All this, too, may
be done, and is done with large quantities every
day, in legs time than would be required to describe
the process. Bat though the materials of glass
are among the cheapest of all materials, and the
substances tbe most obedient to the hands of the
workman, there is a great deal of knowledge neces
sary before glass can be made. It can be made pro
fitable only at large manufactories, and those mann
factories must be constantly at work night and day

Bonis.—Tbe following shows what is done with
bones iu New York. The same operations are car
ried on yppn an extensive scale in the vicinity ol
Boston:
"The price paid for bones varies according to
quality. Thigh bones of bnllocks are made into
bandies of tooth brushes, and aie of the most value,
beiug worth 10 or 12 cents apiece. The jaw
bones rank next, and sell for $18 per thousand.
The 'short' bones, which are thrown from the fami
ly table, are worth 50 cents per bushel. A Mr.
Green, in New York, pays |100 per day for bones,
and there are many in that city who are engaged|
in the business who pay an equal amount. Ox
hoofs are worth $40 per tun; horse hoofs and sheep
hofs and horn hoofs $15 per ton. On the arrival
of tbe bone^ at the factory, the thigh and ¡aw bones
are eawi; so as to admit of the removal of the mar-
row. They are then thrown into a vast cauldron,
and boiled until all the marrow and fatty substan-
ces attached to them are thoroughly extracted.
Tbe fat is then skimmed off and placed in coolers,
and the bones are deposited in heaps for assort-
ment. The thigh bones are placed in one heap for
the ;urnere; the jaws and other bones suitable for
buttons are placed in a second pile; the bones
suitable for 'bone black' come No S. and the re-
mainder are ground up for phosphates and manure.
B< ne black is used by sugar refiners, and is worth
and cents per pound. Stuart'd refinery pays
$40,000 annually for this article, and each of tbe
other ten refineries pay nearly the same amount.
Mr. Qreen realises about $15,000 per annum from
(Otp bt prodoMd by boo* boiling."
Union Hotel,
Situated on the Strand, near Merchant's Cotton Press.
The undersigned having recently opened
the above Hotel for the entertainment of
transient and permanent Boarders, is prepar-
ed to give value received to all prompt paying cus
tomers.
This Hotel, being situated close to the Bay, is not sur-
passed for well ventilated rooms, and is more conven-
ient than any other Hotel in the city for those whose
employment is about the wharf, and those waiting for
shipment to other ports. His table and bar are well
supplied with general necessaries, and has his terms
so low as to insure for him a reasonable patronage.
His motto being " quick sales and small profits,'* he
feels confident that no one stopping with him once will
ever go away dissatisfied.

Too Latí.—There is a certain class of persons,
who, from the cradle to the grave, have but one
prominent characterisnc, and that might be ex-
pressed in the few words—alwav3 too late. Un-
fortunately (or them they s< em to have been born
an bonr or two behind time; and do the best
they can, scratch, hurry, and drive, they neTey
do ''catch up." It matters not what they propose
to do or where they propose to go, one thing is
certaiE—they will surely be too late. Such peo-
ple never succeed in anything which they under-
take ; the death-knell of their hopes and expecta-
tions is for ever pealing—too late. The booming
canou sound;', (he plank is drawn, and the huge
steammer heaves out into the broad blue ocean just
a Monsieur Too late, bag and baggage, reaches the
wharf. The iron longs of tbe fierce old locomo-
tive sliriek out the sharp whistle, and the mas-
sive train goes leaping off just aj the poor unfor
túnate get- in sight The lumbering stage-coach
is climbing the hill a quarter of a mile away, and
his eager call fails to reach the ear of the boiste-
rous post boy. The pious exborter has reached
his "sixthly,' before our friend Tardy enters the
long-drawn aisUs, and all he hears is just enough
to pronounce his doom—"The harvest is past, the
summer is ended, and ye are saved." Such a man
can never succeed; too late Is tbe fatal course
which seals his life a miserable failure. Had he been
in time his might haTe been a destiny fraught with
blessing. Better be an hour too soon than five
minutes too late; better go too fast than too slow ;
better wait for others than let others wait for you;
bettr say now than by and-by; better wear out
than rust out; better pay your subscription in ad-
vance than not at all; better let your epitaph be
too soon than too late.—Chattanooga Adv.
