ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF ARCHBISHOP GOULD.

A BROTHER OF THE NOTORIOUS O'FAKKELL THU PfiKPETRATOR.

(BY CABLE.)

MELBoUJRNB, this day.

AN attempt was made yesterday on the life of thoßomftu Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne by a man named P. A. O'Farrcll, formerly practising as a solicitor, and a brother of H. J. O'Farrell, who shot at the Dnks of Edinburgh ia Sydney in 1868. Archbishop Gould was ridin K along ths Brighton Ko»d, near Melbourne, early last evening, when Q'Farrell fired two shots at him from a revolver. One took effect, and .wounded the Archbishop slightely in the finger. O'Farrell made off, but VW captured after a lonp chaie and tome resistance. O'Farrell has an equityJiuit againsit the Archbishop, and \ecently applied- toi a, warrant against the latter for/fpeijory- the application was, however, roused. News of thej otttraK- caused conik'^iible excite- MBLBOUBNiS, tWSiy,' | Q'Farrell fjrect at Archbishop Gould from \ a distance ot .only two yards. Tho saennd shot did not hit the Archbishop. The first alono took effoct, as already stated. When O'Farrell made off, ho evidently believed that ho had succeeded in his murderous attempt, or he would have made a fnrther use of his revolver. When hi« pursuers came up with him he threatened to shoot them, but was ulti mately secured. Fifty bullets were fonnd in his pockets. It is clear that the attack had been fnlly planned, and that tho Arch bishop had a most providential escape.

PBOBABIiK LOSS OF FIFTY LIVHB.

Wheeling, W. Va., July s.—The steamer Scioto, with a party of 500 excur sionists on board, came in collision with steamtug John Lomas, on the Ohio River, last night, about S o'clock, near Mingo Junction, Ohio, The Scioto sank within three minutes in fifteen feet of water. The tug was only, slightly injured, and saved a great many of the passengers of the Scioto. It is impossible to ascertain at this hour the number of persons drowned. Captain Thurans's eon, Ban, is missing, and a deck hand, name unknown, was drowned from the Scioto, The rest of the crew are safe, the first man taken out of the water being Charies McCoy, watchman, The Lomas struck the Scioto on the port side, fifteen feet from her bow, and made a large hole, through which THB HULL FILLKD EAPID4Y AND SUNK AT ONCE. The boat is lying ut the bottom of the river with water two feet deep in the cabin, The excursionists started from East Liverpool and wont down the river to Moundsville at 1.30 p.m. After staying there two hours they started for home, stopping at Wheeling and Martin's Ferry. The collision occurred near Mingo Junction. Charles Page, the assistant engineer of the Scioto, said : " When we were Btruck by the Lomas, as nearly as I can judge, and from what I heard people saying, we had on board 400 pertons at least, and possibly EOO. I was on watch at the time of the accident, and when the boats whistled for passing I noticed that there was something wrong, but thought nothing of It, and stepped out on tbo deck for a second, when I saw the Lomas right upon us. I hastened back to my engine and obeyed the bell to go back, ■which was immediately followed by a bell to stop; and then, seeing that the boat was fast sinking, the engineer and I threw a skiff into the river, and then I ran after my coat. When I got back, the skiff was so full of fear gtricken people that .1 knew well that it would sink, so I jumped into the river and strnck out for the West Virginia shore. In looking around me as 1 swam I saw a sight that fairly took the life out of me. 'lhe water was black with struggling humanity, and the expression of the faces of the people was the most terrible that you can imagine. Men, women, and children were crying piteonsly for help, and some of the screams so unnerved me that 1 could scarcely swim, but the current was strong, and, as I struck out with all my might, I soon got out of eight of the crowd in the water. 'Jhc-o were two boys near me who managed to reach the shore in safety witb a little help from me. We swam about a mile altogether, and when we reached the shore it was al most impossible for any of us to stand up. As t» how many were lost I can form no Idea, nor ds I know what caused tbo acci dent or who is to blame."

.Hundreds of people are attracted to the scene of tlie wreck, some la search of ruis sing loved ones, and others from cariosity. Captain Thomas, of the Scioto, is nearly crazed with grief at the loss of his son. The death roll will prabably exceed fifty. There are more than this numoer missing, and all chances for escape are heard from. People at Bast Liverpool and Wellaville are missing friends who it is known got on the boat between East Liverpool and Wheeling, Arthur McNalty, who Jives at Gross Creek, was an eye witness of the disaster. He was standing at bis door, immediately opposite, when the collision occurred. Bo says:— "Itwas about 8 o'clock. The Lomas, In passing the island chute, whistled for the preference of sides, and, as near as could be judged, it was three minutes before the Scioto answered. Neither of them appeared to sheer off, and almost Immediately the collision occurred. Gene ral confusion followed, and I them saw people jumping from the humeana'deck and all parts of the steamer. As far as I could see, the Lomas struck the Scioto forward, for the fire flew over the bow of the Scioto. The Scioto sank almost instantly, and the Lomas backed up as soon as potsiblo. The Lomas ran to the Ohio shore and landed her passengers, and then returned to the wreck. The crew and olfieara of the Lomas then exercised BVBEV BFFOBT TO KESCUE THE UNJ?OK* TUSATE PASSENGERS, and succeeded in lauding over 400, making several trips, and continuing to work as long as there were any who could be rescued. As soon as I saw the accident, I jumped into my skiff and started for the wrack. When I got there I got five persons within a distance .of twenty feet, and there were two other skiffs below mp pioking them up, but I don't know how many. I then took the patties I had rescued to the Ohio side, and by that timp the Lomas had laided her party and rev turned to the wreck. Three women were carried ashore and died after they bad been rescued. Two lifctlo boys and the assistant engineer of the Scioto were rescued and left at Cox's. The assistant engineer told me he thought many lives must have been lost, as the lower decks were crowded and the boat sank instantly. A man and wo man passed within 100 yards of my house. He was holding her up and crying for help. My wife saw them sink. Tho scene iyas terrible. I saw at least fifty young ladies who had been brought to the shore, and who were saved by their escorts swimming and holding them up." ""The work of seawhing for the bodies of the viotiras is being prosecuted vigorously. The bodies were much swollen, but easily recognised. The steamer Stock dale passed up with a body aboard, which has not yet been identified. There csn hardly be any more strangers missing, as among the fitty-one bodies found only one was not on the list of missing. The body of Frank Smith of Welhville has been re covered at Tiltonvillc, ten miles below the wreck. This is the third of that family. Maggie Shields of East Liverpool, who was reported lost and recovered, was not on the boat.

The steamer Annie L. passed up at Brilliant with at leat two hundred excur sionists aboard, and the Cy Lucas with about the same number. Their permits allow 150. Capt. Thomas is at his .home at Clarington. His reason has left him. The Scioto has not been raised as yet, and and is still two-thirds under water. Three thousand people are on the grounds near the wrecks The total number of bodies recovered is fifty-one, and the total number misting ii six. It is possible that the miss ing bodies may be found when the boat U raised.

Warrants were issued last night for the pilots of the Seioto and John Lomas, Keller of the Soioto was arrested at the wreck, lonsf, of the. John Lomas, has not yet been

• fonud. Keller promptly furnished bail and was released. The owner of the John Lomas has not yet furnished security in the civil suit, and the boat is still ia charge of the marshal. Emigrants of the Bight Sort. New Zealand has so many inducements to offer settlers that it is a wonder more people of the better or opulent classes do not emigrate there. It is universally ad mitted that its climate much resembles the ■ best weather in these islands, that the soil it fertile, and the scenery lovely. Ono English gentleman, however, has the wisdom to benefit by the many advan tages offered by this n«w country. Mi Francis Arkwright, who was M.P. for East Derbyshire In the last Parliament, has, it is said, purchased an estate in New Zealand, and intends to take up his permanent resi dence in that colony. The Arkwrights are an entetprising race. The founder of the family was the well-known inventor of the spinning Jenny. Of humble origin— the Ron, in fact, (of a barber in Derbyshire—Richard Arkwright had the natural gifts oE a mechanical Inventor, and kli early years were passed in strenuous but loof: time fruitless efforts to apply machinery to the process of weaving. The > f rucccss which ultimately crowned his efforts } and tha !.;rcat fortune which followed them | are matters of history.

Ho donbt Mr brands Arkwrjgiit will win for himself j,thejsame position in his new home. TJießombardment at Alexandria, The "Times " correspondent at Alexan dria telegraphs a* follows :—I have care fully questioned the foreign naval officers, and tney are nearly unanimous in thinking that the fleet fired with greater precision than they had believed possible. The Americans were particularly enthusiastic, Thoy took careful observations of each shot, and say that the result establishes the tact that in a quiet sea a large ship is at no dis advantage against a fort, and a small ship is at much less than w«s sapposed. Tho German oflicers expressed a similar opin ion, while the Austrians were much less Complimentary. Some foreign naval officers witnessing the combat, however, express the opinion that, with the exception of the Teuierairo and tho gun-boats, the English ships have not dis tinguished themselves very much as artiller ists, many shells from the Monarch, In vicible, and Superb falling seriously short. Nearly half the missiles seemed to fall in the water. The guns were likewise served very slowly, giving the Egyptians time to recover from surprise, ana to regain cour age. These oflicers think lighter gun* more quickly served would have ended the action sooner. They give the palm to Lord Charles Beresfard, of the Condor, who, un der a heavy fire, manoeuvred admirably, in flicting heavy losa. There will be several public executions. All the culprits have been convicted of murdering Europeans under circumstances of exceptional barbarity during tbe bom bardment of the city. Tbo murderers will probably be shot by Egyptian troops. It is quite possible that such executions will continue for sonic time, as every day brings to light similar cases. How the Beeently Bombarded City Now Appears. New Yobk, July 16.—A cable special to tho " Herald " from Alexandria of July 15th says : At this lato day it is useless, perhaps, to attempt a description of tbe ruin caused during and subsequent to the bombardment. In company with Captain Fisher and a strong force of blue-jackets^! made a tour round and through the city to-day. lam able to state from personal observation that the first reports on the extent of the devastation arc greatly exaggerated. More over, although the destruction is greatest in the European quarter, if is by no means confined there. The fires are scattered throughout the city,and were caused partly by soldier*, out of pure wantonness, and partly by natives who took this means of paying off old grudges. In the Grand Squaia and its vicinity the ruin is most compute. There ia not one bouse but has been levelled or gutted. The facades ar.e still erectjbu.t are bleached with the heat to a white ash. Yei in the centre the foun tain is still playing, g,nd the grass and trees are uninjured and are still green. Long lines of streets are still burning, and from time to tjme heavy crashes ar,e heard as the walls fall. Heavy smoke is still enveloping the city. LOOTEIS DISPERSED. As we marched jthrouiab, we found Be douins and parties of. Egyptian soldiers laden with booty, with whom we exchanged shots, killing a lew and scattering the rest. During the day crowds of Europeans of all nations came ashore from the ships. Many presented a pitiable spectacle us they sat down and gazed on the ruins of their former homes. Others, especially some Greeks, seemed to have come only for plunder and to make trouble. Many returned Greeks were arrested in the act of plundering! Yetterday forenoon a great commotion was heard at the palace. On making inquiry as to the cause of the cries, I was informed that the Khedive's sister-in-law had just died. Disbelieve all rumours -of fighting with Arabi's force, such as are afloat here and Tierbapa arc cabled abroad for certain purposes. Up to the present lime nothing of any kind has happened. At the palace, they have news that Arabi has despatched Ayoub Pasba, his Under Secretary of War, to Cairo, to hurry forward all available troops. He is busy intrenching, and way mean fighting.

At a meeting of 01 editors held at the Supreme Court, yesterday, in the estate of Arthur E. Smith, Mr Maoffarlane appeared as proxy for several Timber Companies, creditors in the above estate. The proxies having been given by the secretaries o{ the companies, Mr A. Bennett (a Cettiiieated Ac countant in Bankruptcy) raised the ques tion whether under Section 98 an agent coald delegate his authority to anothor, and submitted that the agent must appear personally. Ho asked the ruing of the Regis trar on the point. The Registrar intimated that ho would adjourn the meeting till this morning, as, if proofs presented by Mr Macffarlane were rejected, there would not be sufficient creditors present re constitute a meeting. At the adjourned meetidg this morning, the Keg^trar stated that under Section 98, it wag quite clear that an agent (such as the isecre. tary of a company was) could not delegate his authority to another person, and that, therefore, Mr Macffarlane could not exercise the proxies objected to. As he still had the majority, however, the Bettfstrar ap pointed him trustee. The debtor's assets are stated at £120, and his liabilities at £193 18a lid.

The Wellington-Manawatu Rail way.

The following " precis " of Mr Buthgatc's speech re the Mnuawatu-Wellington Kail way gives a rloar account of the character of the transaction j—" The agreement with the Wellington-Manawatu Company should have been brought down, and the opinion of the Houi"c taken on It, At the present time he djd not think there was any binding agreement upon anyone. It was admjtted that Parliamentary sanction was necessary before twenty acres of the .foreunore "could ]bo granted away. No good reason had been alleged why such an extraordinary favour should be granted to the company. It was usual wh«n com panies had sqil to gel rid of for them to pay handsome damages for some place to lay it. Therefore a great favour would bo granted to the company in aljowiog them a place .on which to deposit their spoil. The members of the company had b.een spoken of as patriots, but there was more to be said about that. Then the obligation to buy land and to grant land which was not yet the property of the colony, was a most extraordinary one, and outside the statute. There was no land belonging to the Crown adjoining the railway, which was not being made tor the purpose of colonisingany part of the colony. Then, the co'utmct said the Go vernment might exorcise- the power of purchase three years after the line was completed. The statute said ten years, and he would like to know wily this three years had been put in the contract. Tl^e proposal to spend half-a-million in tluee years to relieve this company of the lino they had buijt, appeared to him an ex traordinary one, and not in the interests of the colony. The country was bound to band over land valued at £12G,000, besides buying more land to complete the proportion of 30 per cent, of the cost. Was this arrangement advantageous to the country, .or to f,ue alleged patriots ? If the Government took this Hue at the end of throe years the promoters 'could not lose one sixpence of their outlay, and the polony got no credit for the £126,000 worth of land granted to |hem. This land was valued before the railway was made, but after the fine was made its original cost would be doubled. At the end pf three years therefore, we gave these patriots the whole cost of their undertaking, and a present of a quarter of a million. He would like to have a thousand or two to put into, such a speculation, and after patiently waiting 3 years get 60 ppr cent, for bis money.' Under thsae circumstances had the company the slightest claim to the additional 20 acres of land, worth at least £5,000 ? There was also a doubt wh.etb.er the directors of the company had power to eater into such a contract, for under the articles of association they had no power to .sell the line and wind-up the company! The answer to all reference to the illegality of the contract was that this was to be a trunk line, bat a trunk line had boon determined on years ago, at the special request of the people of Well ugton. A' million' and a quarter had been spent in making' that trunk line, which was to be completed to Woodville and Napier,~ but now they were asked to help a company to construct another trunk line to compete with it. The proposed line ended'at a place nine miles from Woodville',' where the trunk line now ended, and they were asked to give the promoters £300,000, besides the construction of a line running twenty miles from a trunk line already in existence,'and also comi peting with, water carriage, Jt was one of fhe moat absurd undertakings the House :ould be asked to sanction, Wherp wan the traffic to come from to maintain this new trunk line, which ran through a sandy desert? It was absurd to think that one ounce of the produce pf the fertile western district would ever bg gens down this line—ra djptance of qver one hu#dred~mi|es at threepence per milp per ton, The antlers would f|gd. a h»rtofi? somewhere oa the sea coast, and it was r.os to be supposed tfcst th«> Wanfianui settlers would ever use the line. It was a mistake altogether to think that there would ever be a profitable traffic on the proposed line of railway. It appeared to him that the (company had no intention of making the line, A tew days ago he saw that a call of one shilling- per share had been made—a shilling per share to make a line to cost half a, million of money. Of course the idea was to iovita foreign capital to complete the work, There was no hurry for this line—for they did not want two trunk lines like the legs of a short pair of compasses running through the peninsula} to Wellington. If it was advan tageous for any set of capitalists to make this railway, it would be far more advan tageous for the colony to do bo, for the colony could obtain money much cheaper. f it had not been for the block vote of thirteen members for Wellington and Tara naki, tbo Government would not now be on those benches. That was shown by the recent division. Two eleemosyrary Pro vincial Districts were making an attempt to Buck the life-blood out of the industri ous settler »f the colony,
