The Republic had on board about three hundred tons of merchandise,, tin, etc., for Astoria business men, but in consequence of the condition of the officers, who were worn out and needed rest, and time to write letters to go be low by the Ancon, we did not press the inquiry as to whom or in what amounts the list-extended. Nearly all the mer chants of this city were interested in the cargo. It was reported that Messrs. Cohen & Cooper of the ixl had their entire stock, for the opening of their store, on board, but Mr. Cooper in forms us that this was an error. They will not probably lose mote than S1.000. Most of their stock arrived by the An con. As soon as we can do so we will furnish the list complete. Major Stewart has returned to Fort Canby from his Couer d'Alene expedi1 tion. The Shubrick resumes duty in the buoy service on the lower bay and bar to-morrow. The Belle of Oregon has beaten the fleet of wooden ships in the race to Europe from Astoria, arriving out in 125 iay.s. Mr. Orcutt's engine for the Knapp ton packet was on board of the Repub lic.

The pirates made such wanton des truction by their vadalism on Sand Island that nobody will be allowed on the Island now without a pass. A party of the most respectable of Astoria uitzens were refused permission to land yesterday. Councilman Runey is confined to nis room by a severe attack of rheuma tism. Peter has, so it seems to us, suf fered quite enough for his sins; with sickness, hu -suits, etc He must have been a very bud man, when a boy. To suffei so much. A farmer immigrant with nine child ren who has lost alL his earthly posses sions by the Republic, made 'his tem porary home with Mr. Peter Wilhelm. Two of his horses were "returned to him yesterday, and it is said the scene was affecting when the family and the dumb brutes met on the streets of Astoria. A private letter fromMr. II. II. Jack son contains the following encouraging tiara.maph: "I am up to my eyes in business with a very encouraging pros pect for the future. Money is very scarce and rain plenty this spring. The prospects for an enormous crop of fruit, wheat, etc., was never better. You bet ter come up and take that ranch." Mr. and Mrs. Meiggs and daughter, -of San Fmncisco, arc stopping with Capt. Gilnian. They are of the ship wrecked partv. Mr. Mastic, Mr. Coin stock and MrGould are at the Occident. We understand that Mr. Gould came up to open a brancn house of Parrott & Co at Astoria.

Mr. Hawkins is an honorable man. Capt. Carroll's Statement. There were nresent in the office of ('apt. Charles Thorn,on board the Cali-i iornia, when t apt. Carroll made the statement which we publi.sh this morn ing, four veteran commanders besides himself. Capt Ceo. Flavel, who is the oldest living steamship commander on the J'aeihe coast; rant thorn, f the .steamship California; Capt. Dcbney of the Ancen: rani. Km tz of IhcShubiick: Purser .John Peck of the Republic: also Mr. Harry Comstock of S-in Francisco, Mr. Gould, of Parrot t & Co., Mr. Mid- dleton of the Oregonian. and the Editor or 1 hkAstokiax. Capt.Carroll showed evident signs of great fatigue, but he returned to the scene of disaster yester day, and is doing all that can be done to save what it is possible to save. Life Savin? Stations. Where there is no water, no ships to go down in the sea, there is certainly no need for any life saving stations such as we have at Fort Canby. and where there is not a crew to man the station it is perhaps as useless to have the station, near the sea. e do not pro pose to get off any growls at anybody, out having read so miny high-so'unded praises of the efficiency o"f the life sav ing station in expensiwly printed re ports of subordinates to the heads of de partment at Washington .we had come to the conclusion that a life .saving sta tion was a big thing. It may be, to look at; but the station at Fort Canby is use less, and might as well be abolished at once, uniesn it can be brought to a great er state of perfection than it is now. Being little better than a farce. Providing for the Needy. The loss of the steamship Great Re public suddenly placed in Astoria a very large number of people who were unable to provide themselves with sleep ing comforts, but the citizens of Astoria never vet f.ii led to respond liberally m cases of this kiiid,eonsequenly that whole mass of shipwrecked men, 'women and children were safely housed before one o'clock in the morning. In company with two citizens of the place we took a walk through the city at three o'clock in the morning, and besides those faithful guardians of night, the police, not a soul was to be seen on the streets: every 1 saloon in the city was closed, and order i reigned supreme, to our great astonish-1 meiiL The same thing was noted Sun-! day night.

Another Steamer Ready. We are informed in a manner deserv ing of belief (by authority supporting belief), in the statement, that Mr. Corn wall has come to conclusion that the Oregon trade is too valuable for him to ! give and up lus contest for a portion of it, that he closed negotiation for the lor the ' steamship Knickerbocker immediately on receipt of news of the loss of the 1'U worm to eacn meniDer; ana Great Republic, and that she ill leave the senate 11,000, or 220 to in a few days for ban 1 rancisco.

AMUSEMENTS. The steamer Ordwa.v, Capt Fisher, arrived yesterday, having taken the Ilyers sisters combination to Portland, and returned the Barlow, Wilson, Prim- rose, and West's minstrels to Astoria, , aner a most successiut tour ot tne m lerior. They performed at Metropolitan ' hall last evening, and this evening will be their last appearance in Astoria. We cannot saj an thing that will add to the reputation of this popular company. They are truly artists of national repu tation. Secure scats early at Caufield's drug store. The steamship Idaho, due at Astona on Thursday, brings a new attraction for nlav-ffoers. Mine.

Nothins. in time of peril, serves so ; well as presence of mind: It often averts panic, avoids danger, and save3 human life. An incident occurred m a couple of lady teachers enabled them to clear the rooms of the school of their crowds of youthful occupants, during the prevalence of a fire, with out a single accident. As conflagra tion is liable to happen in the schools of other cities while the classes are un dergoing instruction, we copy so much of the article, describing how the chil dren were saved, as may prove instruc tive to other teachers if they ever find themsehes placed in like circum stances. The Tribune says: When the teacher discovered the flames, she walked quietly out of the room to the front desk, where Mrs. Mc Clo.skev, the principal of the primary deprtnient. was sitting, and informed her of the fire. Smoke was beginning to curl around the ij.ick ot. rne room when the principal and MissMaguire icd. Without telling the children returne of the danger, the order was given to put awaj slates. ."Children, you will now arise and follow me," said Mrs. Mc Closkey. The children left their seats and formed in an orderly procession to leave the room.

The same orders were given to the pupils in the adjoining room, who were under the care of Miss es Rothschild and Johnson. Within a few minutes after the children left the gallery, one of the rooms was a mass of flames. The westerly side and the whole flooring burned like tinder, and sent out volumes of smoke that began to fill every room in the building. In a short time the ceiling of the gallery took fire, and the flames began to spread rapidly. The admirable conduct of these ladies is entitled to all praise. There were no less than 1.525 children in at tendance at the building .which was consumed. Fortunately, about 725 of the number were enjoying a short re cess outside when the flames broke out. Baggage Found. Oytkrviile, April 20. 1 found one leather-bound trunk, on the weather beach this afternoon, marked James A. Miller, San Francisco, which please ad vertise iu your paper. I suppose it came from the steamer Great Republic, as it has not been in the water long. Trunk damaged some, but all the papers and clothing are in good order, for being in the water. A. Wiiit.
