ANOTHER BULGARIAN, ATROCITY.
LONDON, May 30th. The result of the court-martial on Panitzs is that he has been sentenced to be shot. [The following special from Vienna, dated the rand of February last, explains the above telegram :—" Strange and alarming rumors, ́are circulated in connection with the intest telearms from Sofia. The pessimists predict an early revival of the Eastern Question, and talk as if the Russian armies were in posses- sion of the Bulk ons. Paniixa, once the friend of Alexander of Baitenberg, has now become the agent of the Russian Pan-Slavists. Panitza went to Major Kissof, Governor of Sofia, and asked him what he would do in case the garrison should revolt and march on the palace of Ferdinand, Of course Kissof answered that he would do his duty, and im- mediately afterward apprised the Government of Panitza's inquiries. Panitza was now watched with increased stringency, and it was soon learned that a few young officers met at his house, and that a plot had been hatched to take place on the occasion of the next court ball. The Major was to kill the Prince, while his accomplices were to "take charge of," that is, also to kill, the Ministers, and then they would take possession of the Government. On the day before that appointed for the ball Prince Ferdinand gave the War Minister a written order, as is required by law, to arrest Paniza. The ball took place and was a brilliant affair, More than 100 officers attended it, including those who had been in the habit of attending the nocturnal meetings at Panliza's house. He was the only one of his band absent from the bail, which insted until 5 n'iork in the morn. † ing. At 4 o'clock Panliza had been arrested. He made no resistance and quicily followed his friend, the Chief of Police and the military Governor of the city. His papers were searched and seize and all sorts of stories implicating the Russian Government are now circulated in regard to the documents."-Ed. Telegraph).

for her to get off in the roanner her owner says, But if her head was off the wind it might be a matter of difficulty, and only to be done in the way the plaintiff alleges that it was done. The tide
on the day in question flowed about seven, and if the junk got away at that time they would have no difficulty la getting off as stated by her crew, but if she only left at 8.30. when the tide was stronger, then in all probability she caused this damage. There is no exterior evidence to guide me, but (after reviewing the evidence given by the officers of the steamer and the crew of the junk) 1.am inclined to believe the former, and decide that the defendant's junk did commit this damage- though unwittingly. I therefore give judgment for the plaintiff, with costs.
THE BURNING OF THE "PAOCHING."
The following report of the almost total destruction by fire of the steamship Pooching in the Yangiste river on May 29th appears in the N. C. Daily News-
A sad catastrophe cecurred this morning (May The s'eamer Patching, Capt. Place, left there 29th) near the Forked Tree on the Yang'ze, this morning and at about 6 o'clock caught fire, The Ngankin, coming down, saw volumes of Pasching on fire. The vessel was anchored smoke ahead and ascertained that was the and four boats sent off, and they succeeded in saving 21 natives, the mate, and second mate. Toe chief engineer was saved by the Saul, but the Caplain, second engine t, and some twenty
rives are so far unaccounted for.
A more detailed account of the catastrophe was supplied on the arrival of the Ngonkin here, yesterday morning, from Hankow. At 6 a.m. on that day, while near the Centaur shoal, those on board the Ngankin. observed dense masses of smoke ahead, about five miles off, and as they approached closer they found the smoke pro- ceeded from a steamer on fire. In less than ten migates, the fire bad gaired su ba bold that the vessel was a mass of flames right fore and was found to be the Pasching. This vessel left. aft As the Ngankin came closer, the vessel

As the ropes the water and were drowned. The Ngankin was anchored and in five minutes four of her boats were in the water, pulling towards the burning ship, the sides of which were very hot. The crews found peoplefvatingin the water and they pickedup Mr. Christiansen, the first officer, the second officer and twenty-one natives, some of whom were suffering from burns. In the meantime the Taiwo came along and picked up nine, natives. The Saul saved thirty-two, according to the compradore's account. A Chinese gunboat, the Chepas, came up and anchored, and her com mander, Captain Dung Chuen Chai,, lowered two boats, one of which went to the wreck, but foud nobody to save, though there were a num- ber of dead bodies flating about. The siber boat was sent along the shore to see if there was any are there, but the quest was unsuccessful, and after warning the mandarin of the district to keep a lock-out and protect the ship, the captain left for Shanghai, as he had to take the Fantai to Foochow, and could do no good at the wreck. It was in 29 fathoms, at anchor, for when Captain Place found the ship on fire, he had the anchor let go. When the steamers left the wreck the whole of the deck was burnt, but The chief engineer, Mr. Dalgarne, was in the the masis, funnel and capstan were standing.

Mr. Wilson, the second engineer, who is a nephew of Mr. Dick, of the Old Dock, and only joined the Paothing on Wednesday, was drowned. He was seen in the water by Mr. Dalgarno who, afterwards, hearing a cry, looked back to see where it came from, and found that Mr. Wilson had disappeared.
The crew of the Pao-ching only, signed articles on Wednesday, and Mr. Wilson was making his first trip in her. The vessel, it is said, was on the point of being transferred to the Shanghal Mutual Steam Navigation Company, She was fully Insured.
The chief officer of the ill-fated vessel was interviewed yesterday, after his arvival at Shang- hal, but, in view of the naval court of inquiry to be held, he preferred to say very little about the catastrophe. He states, however, that at the time of the outbreak the vessel was going full speed abead up the Yangize, the second engineer being in charge of the engines. The chief officer was himself asleep in his cabin. He belleved the fire broke out between decks.
