M eie. par Use Great Losses of Life. Brooklyn’s calamity bring« into ter rible relief the suckle- n as with which hu man life may be swept away when dan ger is least expected. In a very recent speech on International Arbitration, Mr. John Bright drew a sharp contrast be tween the sympathetic teeling aroused by near-at-bome calamities, such as that, for instance, of the loss of 400 lives by the shipwreck of the Royal Charter, and the comparative callousness of public sentimeuc when tbousauds, er even hun dreds of thousand« of lives were sacri ficed in war. Unquestionably, it is the uearaevs of a calamity that chiefly makes it impressive; especially when it is brought home to ail of us by the cir cumstance that some persons whom we k-iew or had heard of were among tha viCims, or by the reflection that we who are yet living are liable to a similar fate. Great as was the lots of life in the Brooklyn theater, it cannot take rank in that respect with some of the terrible disasters that history has recorded. Probably the most awful destruction of life from a fire in England took place in 1212, when 3,000 people perished. They were hemmed iu by flames on both sides of th^ Thames, and mostly died by drowning. Their numbers far exceeded the estimated loss of lite in Loudon’s great fire of 1666.' Since the latter date there has, however, been no comparable instance in that city. The estimated namber of lives lost in the burning of Chicago has never been placed higher than 100, and about this figure there is great uncertainty. A few instances might be cited of fires on shipboard where the number of those that perished exceeded 300; but the losses by ship- wreck have very often been much larger. The siukiug of the Royal Georye wuile undergoing repairs in harbor, and the loss of 60u lives, gave-occasion for one of the uobiest poems in the language. In recent years the most destructive .tire in a public assemblage was that in a church in Santiago, Chili, Dec. 8, 1863, when 1.600 persons, principally women, were burned. The list of the dead given in Nile'» Regieter after the tire in the Rich mond Theater in 1811, had less than 70 name«, but among them were several of promiueuce. Among the comparable events of the last two or three year«, the dynamite explosion at Bremerhaven might be mentioned, with its list of 170 dead and wounded, Such disasters can scarcely be com pared with the great sacrifices ofMife in war, or by sudden convulsions of nature. The calculation has beeu made by sta tisticians that up to the present time more than 6,860,000,000 men have per ished iu battle. 1 here is a long list of earthquakes whose victims in each case were.uumuered by thuusmds; that of Lisbon in 1755 engulfed 50,000 of its in habitants. East Indian cyclones have in different years »wept away vast numbers of people; iu 1737, 30,000; iu 1864, 60,- 000; a few weeks ago, 215,U00. Tue last uaiued calamity exceeds ail previous iustauces iu numbers lost; few of our readers read the account of it wituout a sigh, but it scarcely cast a passing shad ow over their thoughts, white the Brooklyn loss of 300 lives seems a thing never to be lorgotten.— N.

Of the many secret complications among the cabinets of the different powers little can of course be known, aud consequently but little can be positively predicted. It can only be said that there appears to be a substantial understanding between - Germany and Russia, and that Austria is in a state of uncertainty as regards both, while her Hungarian associations are more than ever a source of apprehension. L A review of the entire European tieH shows that the main thought of the pub lic mind is war. All business enter prise is stayed and general stagnation previdls.
