TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT DISASTER ON THE MISSISSIPPI.

Memphis, Jananry 2S.- -The steamer W. ~R. Arthur, from New Orleans to Louisville, left last night and exploded her boilei'3 14 miles above at 1.30 a.m., took fire and sunk. It was intensely dark, and most of the pas sengers rushed to the lower deck, and in tho confusion many jumped into the river and were drowned. The waves washed the deck, sweeping them off. Captain Harry Brohas kay, commanding, said he had retired, and felt himself lifted up and knocked down by pieces of the debris. He extricated himself and took his wife and child to the ladies' cabin. He succeeded in extinguishing the fire. All would have been saved, but, owing to the fright, nearly all rushed downstairs. Captain Brohaskay's leg was injured ; his wife and sister were seriously hurt. Captain Frazier, of Cincinati, apassenper, escaped with •wife and child, with slight injuries. A large number escaped with slight injuries, amongst them W. Racina, of California. Captain Brohaskay says he had 45 cabin and 40 deck passengers ; he thinks at least 60 were lost. There is already a list of about 40 pas- Bengers and crew known to have been lo3*', and about 80 known to be saved. Two tug boats and steam ferry boat 3 left here as soon ! as the disaster was known, for the scene, and on the way picked up many floating on cot ten planks, &c, half naked and perishing with cold. All were brought hero and eai'efully attended to. The lifeboat was taken by five persons as soon as the boat blew up, and landed on tho bank, when she was turned adrift. When these men were brought off by the tug, the other survivors talked strongly of lynching them. The boat had 1,300 tons of freight, includ ing 1,200 bales of cotton taken here.

MONDAY, MARCH 20, 1871.

It is not usual to comment on a case while still sub judiee, but there are circumstances in which the usage ought to be relaxed, and public atten- \ tion drawn to the progress of an inves- 1 tigation. A case of cruelty to animals, apparently of the most brutal kind, was to-day brought before our local Police Court, and adjourned till to morrow. The case is made to wear a more disagreeable aspect from the fact that the alleged offender, Gee, is a Special Constable at the North Shore, sworn in and commissioned to protect the peace of her Majesty's subjects in that quiet suburban hamlet. If the allegations are true, the constable hav ing been defeated in a Police Court ease recently publicly threatened that he would take it out on the defendant's dog ; and on returning to North Shore seized the animal by the tail, and by repeated blows beat out the poor ani mal's brains against the wall. The constable then thrust the animal into a hole, and while it was still struggling with death covered it up with clay. The dog, which was a very gentle animal, and a playmate for all the children of the neighbour hood was, it seems, thus treated by the constable in the presence of a number of children. We are exceed ingly glad to see that Mr. Wynn has taken the matter up, for the credit of human nature ; and we draw attention to the investigation thus early in order that if the case is of the horribly cruel nature alleged, public opinion may be brought to bear on those who are re sponsible for the appointment of such a person as Gee- to the office of a police constable. We shall return to the subject after the investigation to morrow.

The p.s. Boyal .Alfred will leave for the Thames at 4< o'clock this afternoon. The protracted case, Dornwell v. Gillan, "• was concluded on Saturday evening at half past seven o'clock. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £150, possession of the property (Scotia Hotel, Grahainstown), to be given to plaintiff in three days. Messrs. Cmickshank, Smart and Co. give notice that they have been appointed agenta to protect, in case of disaster, the interests of the following Insurance Companies of Culi fomia : — The California, the Pacific, the i Merchants' Mutual Marine, the Freeman's Fund, the Union, and the Occidental Insu rance Companies. The regular monthly meeting of Lodge Waitcmata, No. GB9, E.C., wi". be held tlr.s evening, at the Masonic Hotel. A dividend of £12 per share will be payable tothe shareholders in the Caledonian Company to-morrow. Wo have heard that the late Commissioner, St. John Branigan, will visit his native country, a long sea voyage being recommended as the best remedy available for his malady and general physical powers. Wo have received from Mr. Wayto, book seller, a copy of tho The IFeck's News, a new and extremely well got up paper, published in London, especially suited for colonial readers. The price is extremely moderate, each number being issued at 3d. Thomas Snell, of Coromandel, give 3 notice of bis intention to apply for his order of dis charge at the next public sitting of the Bank ruptcy Court.

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.

"We have to record another case of sudden death, which took place in. a house in Wafec field-street, about six o'clock last evening, the deceased being a labouring man named Kobert Canning, aged 47 years. It appears that a mate of his was in the lock-up for drunkenness, and about half-past five o'clock Canning was taking down some refreshments, when, being at the time in High-street, he waa suddenly seized with a violent pain in the chest. A friend who was accompanying him advised him to return liome at once, which he did, but he had no sooner reached his own houso than he fell down dead. The police were immediately communicated with, and Constable "Walker fetched Dr. Pierce to the deceased. The doctor at once pronounced life to be extinct. He stated that the cause of death was apoplexy, and will give a certificate to that effect to-day. Canning was an unmarried man, so far as is known, and had no relatives in the colony. About a week ago he was in the lock-up for drunkenness ; since then nothing has been seen of him by the police.

THE ARMISTICE.

PULL TEXT OP THE AG-REEMENT BETWEEN BISMARCK AND PAYEE. Berlin, February 2.—The following is the text of the conversation between Bismarck and Far re : Count Yon Bismarck, Chancellor in the name of His Majesty the Emperor of Germany, and Jules Favre, Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Government of National Defence of France are furnished with regular power to determine the following arrangements : Article 1. A general armistice over all the line of military operations in the course of execution between the German and French armies, shall be given in Paris this very day, and in the Departments within the term of three days. The duration of the armistice shall be twenty-one days, dating from to-day, and,excepfing it be renewed, will be terminable everywhere on the 19th of February at noon. The belligerent armies shall preserve their respective positions, which shall be separated by si line of demarcation. This line shall commence at Ponterzuie on | the east in the Department of Calvades, aad shall be continued on Lugucrres, in the northeast of the department of Mayenne, passing between Brion and Frontal. Touching the Department of the Mayenne at Luguerres, it will follow the limits which separate that Department from the Department of Arne and Sarthe to the north of Morrannes, will be continued in such a way as to leave the Germans in occupation of the Depart ments of Sarthe, Inde-et-Loir, Loir-et-Chere, and Yonue, as far as the point where the Department of Cote DOr, Nivre, and Yonne touch each other. Thou setting out from this point', the tracing of the line will be reserved for the understanding which will take place as soon a3 the contracting parties are informed of the actual situation of Military operations now being executed in the Departments of Cote dOr, Doubs, and Jura. In any ease, the line will pas 3 through the territory comprised in these three departments, thus leaving the Germans in occupation of the Departments situated to the north, and the French army of those situated to the south of this territory ; also, the departments of the north and Hus-de-Calais. The fortresses of Givet and Langres have the right of maintain ing their authority in the territory which each occupies, and of employing the means which the commanders may judge necessary to attain that end. The armistice applies equally to the naval forces of Ihe countries. Adopting the meridian of Dunkirk as the line of demarcation to west of which the French fleet will remain, and cast of which, so soon as they can be warned, the German ships of war shall retire, and to a distance of ten kilometres from such territory us may surround them; and the ■ peninsula of Havre from the line drawn from Ettrctat in tho direction of St. Germain outside the limits of German occupation. The belligerent armies and their advanced posts will remain at a distance of at least ten ; kilometres from tho lines drawn. The separate position of each of the two armies will be reserved to itself. In Western writers, captures which may be made after the conclusion and before the notification of tho armistice wi'l be restored, as well as the prisoners taken in the interval indicated. Military operations in the territory composing the Departments of Doubs, Jura, and Cote dOr, as well as the siege of Belfort, will continue, independent of the armistice, until an agreement is arrived at regarding the line of demarcation, the tracing of which through the three departments mentioned is reserved for ulterior understanding. Article 2. The armistice tlms agreed upon, has for its object to permit the Government for the National Defence to convoke an Assembly, freely elected, to decide whether war will be continued or not. No matter what conditions of peace may be made by the Assembly to meet at Bordeaux, every facility will bo given by the commanders of the German armies for the election and the meeting of the Deputies who will compose the Assembly. By Article 3, there will be immediately surrendered to the German army, by the French military authorities, all tho forts forming the perimeter and exterior defence of Paris, as well as the material of war. The communes and houses situated outside of thut perimeter or between the forts, may be occupied by the German troops as far as the line drawn by tho Military Commissioners. The ground between this : lino and the fortified Enceinte of the city of Paris, will be interdicted to tha armed forces on the two sides. The manner of surrender ing the forts by the drawing of the line already mentioned, will form the object of a protocol, to be annexed to the present conven tion. Article 4. During the armistice the German army will not enter the city of Paris. Article 4. The Enciente will be stripped of its guns and carriages, which will be trans ported to the forts designated for their ro ception by the Commissioner of the G-erman army. Article 6. Tho garrison of tho forts and the regiments of the line, the Mobiles and the marines at Paris, are to bo prisoners of war, excepting a division of 12,000 men, which will be under tho military authority of Paris to preserve order inside tho city. The troops who are prisoners of war will lay down their arms, which will be collected at the places designated, and to be given up according to an arrangement made by the commissioners in the usual manner. These troops will re main in the city, and will not bo allowed to pass the Enceinte during the armistice. The French authorities bind themselves to take care of every individual belonging to the army. Tho Mobile Guard shall remain in tho interior of the town. The officers of the captive troops arc to bo designated in a list, which is to be delivered to the German authorities. At the expiration of the armis tice all combatants belonging to the araiy confined within the walls of Paris shall con stitute themselves prisoners of war to the Gorman army, if before peace is not concluded. The officers made prisoners shall retain their side arms. Article 7. Tho National G-uard shall retain their arms, and bo charged with the protec tion of Paris and maintaining order. Tho same will be tue case with the Gendarmerie assimilated with the troops and employed on the municipal service—such as the the Republican Guard, Oouaniers, Pompiers, and the whole of this category, not exceeding 3,500 men. All the corps of the Franc tireurs will be dissolved by an ordinance of the French G/oveiTunent,

Article 8. Immediately on the signature of these presents, and before taking possession of the forts, the Commander-in-Chief of the G-er man armies will give every facility to Commis sioners of the French Government to send, whether into the Departments or abroad, to fake steps for revictualling, and to bring into the city commodities destined for it. Article 9. After the surrender of the forts and the disarmament of the Enciente and the garrison stipulated in Articles 5 and 6, the re victualling of Paris will be effected fairly by transit, by railways and rivers, of provisions intended for revictualment, now drawn from districts occupied by German troops. The French Government engages itself to obtain provisions outside of the line of demarcation which surrounds the position of the German armies, except in case authorization to the contrary effect is given by the commander of latter. Article 10. Every person wishing to quit the city of Paris must be furnished with regu lar permits, delivered by the French military authorities, and submitted to the inspection of tho German authorities. Free passes will be grantei, as a right of their position, to candi dates, provincial deputations, and Deputies to the Assembly. This free movement to persons who have received the authorisation indicated will be permitted only between 6 in the morn ing and 6 in the evening. Article 12. The City of Paris will pay a mu nicipal contribution of war amounting to 200,000,000 francs; the payment must be effected before the fifteenth day of the armis tice. The mode of payment will be deter mined by a mixed French and German co.n mission. Article 12. During the armistice, nothing shall be taken away of public articles of value which may servo as a pledge for the recovery of the war contribution. Article 13. The transport info Paris of nrms munition and articles entering into their manufacture, are forbidden by the terms of the armistice. Article 14. Immediate steps will be taken to exchange all prisoners of war made by the French since the commencement of the war. For this end the French authorities will hand as promptly as possible, a list of the German prisoners of war to the German military authorities at Amiens, Le Mans, Orleans, and "Vetour. The liberation of German prisoners of war wiil be effected at the points nearest the frontier. The G-erman authorities will deliver in exchange at the same points, in the quickest possible time, a like number of French prisoners of war, and of corresponding grades, to the French military authorities. The exchange of civil prisoners, such as Captains of ships of the German merchant service, and the Navy, and of French civilians who may be retained in Germany. Article 15. A postal service, with letteis unsealed, will be organized between Paris and the departments through the medium of the headquarters at Versailles. In the faith of which the undersigned have appended to the present convention their signatures. Sealed and done at Versrlles the 28th day of January, 1871. (Signed) - Bismauck, F-AVKE.
