Galveston, Nov. 9.—The steamship City of Waco, of the Mallory Line, arrived from New York yesterday,and was anchored out-side with the fleet of vessels. At 1 o’clock this afternoon she was discovered to he on fire. A strong Northeast wind was blowing, with frequent showers of rain. The passen-, gers, officers and crew took to the ship’s open boats, at 3 o’clock,and passed through the fleet. The sea was so high that the ves-sels could render them no assistance. The last seen of them they were drifting in a wes-terly direction down the coast. The agents of the line have telegraphed for a list of her passengers. One of the Galveston pilots, who had gone out on her arrival,was also on board. Carriages haye been sent down the beach, and a steam tug was dispatched, which is cruising on the outside in search of the missing passengers and crew. The steamer was burned to the water’s edge,and is now reported to be sinking, It is sup-posed that the vessel and cargo will be a to-tal loss. Later Tlie City of Waco which had burned to the ,water edge and her hull rolling in a heavy sea, suuk at 1pm to-day, in seven fathoms of water, Crew and passengers have not been heard from. At at 0 o’clock parties returned from the lower end of the island and bring no tidings, and tiie steam tng is still coasting. Tlie agents have telegraphed to Indianola and Brownsville notifying vessels to be on the look out for them, fleeting of Masonic Grand Lodge, Nashville^Nov, 9.—The Masonic Grand Lodge of Tennessee assembled in this city yesterday, A. W, Wheeler, M. VV. Grand Master, presiding. Between three and four hundred lodges are represented. A Grand Council of Royal and Select' Masters was opened and called oil until Friday. Tire Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons will assemble on Thursday, next. From New York, New York,Nov.9.—The Herald’s London special states that letters have just been re-ceived from Henry N. Stanley, which are exceedingly interesting. They are dated at Usagalla, in Ugarda, and give an elaborate and picturesque account of the continuation and conclusion of his examination of the shores of the Victoria, which is one large body of water, and not a series of smaller lakes, as said by Dr. Livingstone. Mr, Stanley’s observations and reports on this point, of Africa’s geography are to be made a subject of discussion before the Royal Geographical Society on the?L5th in st; Foreign. Penog, Nov. 9—The mutilated remains of Mr, Bersch, late English resident of Perak, have been received. After a sharp engage-ment with the Malays, Capt. Janes, of the 100th regiment, was killed, and two officers eight, men we re wounded. All this side of the Malay Peninsula is greatly excited. A general outbreak is feared. Telegrams have been scut to llong Kong for troops. One maig-of-war, two gunboats and about four hundred troops are now at Berak. Moody and Sank}’. New York, Nov.9.—More than three-fourths of those gathered at the revival meeting of the Tabernacle this morning were ladies, and a greater portion of those have been regular attendants at all the meetings. Tlie services were begun by singing, and Mr. Moody offered a prayer. Deacon llawley read more than one him-died requests for prayer, and Mr. Needham the Irish Evangelist prayed. The hymns, “He Leadeth Me,” and “Oh. Blessed Thought,” were sung, Mr. Sankey leading at the organ. Mr. Moody read the 13th chapter of the 2d book of Chronicles, and based his dircourse on the fourth verse, “when the men of Ju-dea on seeing themselves out numbered by the array of Jereboaro qried unto tlie Lord” The Lord, said Mr. Moody, heard their cry, they only had 400,000- men to Jere-boam’s 800,900, hut this army could not stand up before men who were leaning up-on the arm of God; they found Obi-jah before he went into battle praying to God. If the people were going to win this battle for the-;Lord they must lean upon the arm of God. God answered tlie prayers of these men, and 185,000 of the enemy were slain by one angel. No man could-stand against God. They wanted Heze-kiahs in Brooklyn. The power of prayer was illustrated in tlie case of Ahab, who went up into the mountain and prayed God to shut the heavens, and neither rain nor dew fell in three years and six months. Why should they not pray now for the heavens to be opened, and that they should have a shower of grace upon them ? Let the work begin in Brooklyn and it would spread all over America. There was an ac-count of a colony going to Africa, and they traveled from one place to another in order to find where there was rain. They were finally directed by the inhabitants to where there were clouds, and they went there and got under thorn. We wanted to get under the clouds where God’s showers could fall upon us. Mr. Moody then spoke of the young men’s enquiry meeting in Scotland. When they first called the young men’s meeting in Scot-land they were afraid that they could'not get the young men to come forward, and they prayed together that they might be sue-cessfui. It is pretty hard to niove Scotch-men, hut when the meeting was held and they gave the invitation, over one hundred young men came forward. Mr. Moody said the meeting was open for payers and remarks, when several prayed and discussed. Mr. Sanky offered a fervent prayer for the success of their work, and asked God’s blessing upon it. To-morrow night Mr. Moody said there would be a yonng men’s meeting at tlie Rink under the auspices of the Young Men’s Christian Association, and that, tickets of admission might be had at. the rooms.of said association. Rev. Dr. Gayler pronounced the benedic-tioh. x Mr. Moody requested the gentlemen to re-tire and the ladies to remain. All the men went with the exception of Moody and Sankey, who then retired, and a private eon-ference was held with the ladies for fifteen minutes. They were urged to use their in-fiuence upon all gentlemen with whom they wer^acquainted to attend the meetings of the evangelists. Particulars of tlie Wreck of tlie Pa-clfie. San Francisco, Nov.9.—Peter Townsend, and Ail'. J etty,supposed sole survivors of the Pacific, was brought here yesterday by the ship Messenger, in a wretched condition, having been on a raft thirty-six hours be-fore being picked up. He says the Pae.fie collided with some other vessel whose lights he saw; but, in his interview with Gilkey, Captain of the Messenger, which lasted twelve hours, he made no mention of the lights of the vessels, and some think him laboring under a hallucination as to that. Jetty makes the following statement: “I took cabin passage in the Pacific on the morning of Thursday, the 4th inst., from Victoria, leaving about a quarter past nine o’clock. About two hundred people were on board. The steamer ran against a southeasterly wind all day. The crew were constantly pumping water into the boat to trim the ship. The boats abaft the paddle boxes had no oars in them; others had be-tween eight and nine. In the evening, while in bed, I heard a crash, and felt a shock, as if we had struck a rock. I went on deck and heard voices say, “it’s all right, we have struck a vessel.” I saw several lights at,a distance, but do not think they were colored, but I paid little attention. I returned to tlie^eabin and noticed that the ship took a heavy lift to port, i went on deck to the pilot house, and heard some one say, “she is making water very fast.” The Captain coming out of his room, I asked him if he had any blue lights or guns. He said blue lights were in the pilot house. I got them and burned five ; noticed that the engines were still working, but no one was at the wheel. I then went to the starboard side, forward of the paddle box, where a number of men were trying to get the long-boat, but could not. I went to the short-boat, forward, aud helped five or six women into it. X tried to get tlie boat off, but couldn’t move it. There were about twenty women in it. I heard that the boats abaft the paddle had got off, hut did not see them. I think they struck when she lifted so much. The first boat was in the water; I was in that boat and cut it loose. It turned over and filled with water. I got on her bottom and helped several up with me, and immediately after the steamer seemed to break in two. The smoke stack fell, ana struck our Doat, and tlie steamer sunk. I think about all the women were in our boat, and fear that all were drowned when the boat upset. This occurred during the evening. The night was not dark, nor the sea very rough> but a fresh breeze was blowing. I left the bottom of the boat, and with another mail climbed on top of the pi-lot house, and next morning got some life preserver which were floating near the house, and witli their ropes lashed myself and companion to the house. I saw three rafts; the first had one man on it, the next three men and one woman. I could not make out what was on tlie other,on account of the distance, except, that there were peo-pie on it. I think we were about thirty or forty miles South of Cape Flamery when the vessel sunk. We passed a light at Tat-ton’s Island between four and five o’clock in the evening. My companion and myself were on the pilot house till day Friday, until about fourp. m., when he died, aud I cut him loose. The sea was running very high, and all day waves were washing over us. Soon after he died I sighted a vessel aud called, and heard people in other rafts call-ing, but the vessel did not come near. Fri-day night there was hut little wind, till in the forenoon, when the wind and sea arose. I was then within a mile of the shore at Vancouver’s Island, and sighted two vessels on the American shore, which passed-in about ten a. m. on Saturday. The Messen-ger picked me up. (Signed). H. P. Jki.lv. Great excitement prevailed in this city on hearing the news. Tlie telegraph and news-paper officer, and the merchants exchange, were beseiged with people who had friends and relations on board the lost steamer. The Lan Angelos was dispatched to save the sue vivors, if any. Jelly stated informally that there was no terror or confusion on the part of tlie passengers, and the boats could have been launched aud manned,and sailing ren-dered comparatively smooth, and all would have been saved. From London. London, Nov. 9.—This being the Lord Mayor’s day business and street, trafie was for a time to a great extent suspended. The weather which was cold and foggy in the morning, cleared off in the evening and became pleasant, and favorable for the pa-geant and instalation for aldermen. W. J. R. Cotton is Lord,Mayor. After religious and other exercises at Guild Hall, the procession started at 2 p. m. on their long march, stopping for a short time at Westminster Hall, where the Mayor and Sheriff took the necessary oaths, and then returned to Guild Hall.

We have it from good authority that near this city a few days ago a game of “seven up” was played, a little girl of live summers being the prize. The father had played and lost everything he had, and while under the influence of liquor, pro-posed to put up his little girl against a certain amount of money. The proposition was at once accepted, and the game began. At the last hand the game stood : father 5, op-ponent, 2. In the deal the father received the following trumps: King, ten, seven and tray. His op-ponent received ace, jack, four and deuce. The father begged, and was given one, which made him within one of going out. Confi-dently believing that the game was his, he threw down the king and tray, exclaiming : “Can you beat that for high or low?” His oppo-nent replied that he could beat both, aud showed his -hand, and claimed high, low, jack, and the game. The claim was denied, the father hoping he could take the game himself. The ganiq went on, resulting iu the success of his oppo-nent, who secured the game by two points. The winner still has the child, and states that he intends keeping it, unless the father uses the law to regain his loss. She is in good hands, much better than those of her father, who is a widower, and a man of dissolute habits, although the possessor of a kindly heart when not under the influence of liquor.— Council Bluffs Globe. Mercury in fluency, and a courtier in grace, a volcano in fire, an ice-berg in coldness, deliberate in eoun-cil and impetuous in action, strange, bundle of all possible and impossi-ble contradictions and seeming an-tagonisms, he stands forth on this commonplace age, clear cut, bold, and prominent as the big wooden Indian in front of a tobacco-shop door. In his mental make up, the wildest German transcendentalism and French Communism meet and shake hands with the intensest Yankee shrewdness and the broad-est hiNuanitarianism. A European anarchist, he has taught Americans the true principles of their Consti-tution and Government, and set them an example of self-denying patriotism. -V fanatical abolition-ist and hitter upholder of the Fed-oral Hag, he was the first man in the Radical party of Missouri to meet the present editor of the Sen-tinel on a platform of conciliation in 1870, and battle for the enfran-chisement of his former foes. The proclamation of “universal amnesty and impartial suffrage,” led him to the support of the Greeley move-ment in 1871-2, which Democratic insanity killed. Too great to be a partizan, he lacks but a little hard, practical “horse sense,” to render him a statesman. Not of extraor-dinary power, but supple, wiry and ever alert, thoroughly trained,every thew and sinew under perfect con-trol. Not a ponderous intellectual pile driver aud sledge hammerer, like Webster or Clay, but a keen, polished Damascus blade, like Ran-dolph or Calhoun. Not a^KVwer-strewing, poet-orator, like Henry, Wirt or Prentis; but a wielder of inexorable logic, and an arrayer of bewildering facts and figures. Above all the dirty tricks, treats and trades of the political shambles, of reproachless integrity, honest. fearless, always aggressive, some-times brilliant, he is incomparably the ablest representative Missouri has had in Washington since the days of Tom Benton and Jim Green. But with all his ability and * purity, he is utterly unsafe as a leader. How a Mussulman Expects to go to Faradlse. An execution, attended by eu-rious circumstances, has just taken place at Tlemcen, in Algeria. The criminal was au Arab, named Siben Ali Ould si l’Habit ben Mansour, who descended from a family of venerated Marabouts, and had been condemned to death for murdering three native women. He protested his innocence to the last, and re-fused to have anything to do with the Mussulman priest sent to shrive him. Only one thing troubled him. According to native bqjief, the An-" gel of death seizes the dying Mug-snlman by the hair of his head and carries him up -thus to Paradise. Now, as ihe prisoner was to beguil-lotined, lie feared that only his head would ascend to Paradise, while his body would remain on earth. The execution was carried out in the usual style, in the midst of a large concourse of natives. The family of the deceased then approached the guillotine, took possession of the head and body, placed them in a coffin on a mule, and marched off home. In the evening the remains were buried according to Mussul-man rites, and the ceremony was at-tended by several hundred men and women, who made the night hideous with their shouts and lamentations.
