A Friday's -New York despatch Bays : Joseph Matz, an Italian, mot a horrible death to day by coming in contact with a " live ' electric wire at the corner of East Houston and Oiryatie atrcets. Mat/ and another Italian kept a fruit stand there. On account of tho rain torrents of water poured down from the gutter, and the boarcf awn- ing waa partially tilled with mud. To remove tbid mud Mat/ climbed an electric light pole and gained tho roof of tho awn- ing. On thia pole were thirty wires. When Mat/ Btoo[>ed to clean the gutter he faced a network of wirea about breast high. In performing hia work ho slipped, and in try- ing to aavo himself he grasped one wire with hia liand and fell forward on another, which caught him under tbe neok and obin. iUat/ then gave a about whicli etartled the paaaera by.

The moment that he touched tho body Albert received a shock that Dearly threw him to tbe ground.

The village of Anstruwell. situated 'JOO metres from the factory, and which consisted of 10 houses, haa vanished. The hydraulic machines used in the dry dock were almost entirely destroyed. A number of mer ohandiae depola, including the I'raeaiuu stores, which were constructed of iron, were overturned by the ixploeion, and an immense ijuantity of goods was rained. Two stained glass windows in tho cathe- dral were hroken. bat the building ia intact. For a dialauce of 500 to 1,000 metres tho windows of houses were shattered.

A Wednesday night's London cable says : Tbe negotiations between tho representa- tives of the dock companies and the wiiarf- ingera were resumed to-day. The conference was private, thoogb with a view to prevent subsequent miaunderatandinga a steccgra- pher waa present to transcribe tbe pro- ceedings. Several more wharfingera have conceded the demands of the strikers. Nearly 1,000 men resumed work thia morning. Tbe atrikera are aa resolute aa ever. Their pickets display greater activity, and have prevented many batches of new men engaged to take tbe place of strikerB from proct^ding to the docks. Another meeting of atrikera waa held at Tower Hill. Mr. Tillett and Mr. Champion made addrre'ea, in which they congratu- lated the strikers upon the increase in the eubauriptioDB for their benelit, aod the bet- ter organized plan for the distribution of relief. They expressed the belief that Car- dinal Manning, who they say is deeply im- preeeed with the juatice of the strikers' de- mands, woald succeed to day iu arranging a eetilement. There is a pause in tho strike negotia- tiona- Cardinal Manr.ii:g haa postponed his interview with the directors of the dock companiea nntil to morrow. Mr. Burns is ill from overwork, atid ia taking a day's real. Further contributions of money for the relief of the atrikera have been received from Aufltralia. The Strike Committee have nearly il'J.COO on hana. The Sea- men'a Union haa gent a reijueat to the nniona in Australia to refuse to unload vcBsela from London loaded by " black- legs."

The Mansion Uouae Strike Committee announce that a more amicable feeling prcvaila on both sides, and thut only extraneoaa qaes lions now prevent a aettk-ment, which it is hoped will be attained to morrow. Home city tjenllemen, believing the .\uB- tralian cciitribntions to the strikers' fund have teen sent nnder a wrong impres^io :, have sent a cable despiitoh to Australia, with the view of preventing further remit- tances.

BATHES APOOBTPHAL. Ous«li> Aljout the Uisacrecnoeata In the Boyal N«>t. A London cable gives this story : In Court circles joat now intereet ia oenlered upon tbe private and personal affairs of tbe Koyal family, which do not preEcnt a picture of harmony and good feeling. The Queen, it ia underatood: haa been gradu- ally aubmitticg more and more to ibe aggreaaive domination of Prince Henry of Battcnberg, who, although he ia regarded as a person of little constquence or char- acter, iseema to have a domineering spirit, and lo have succeeded in perEnadiog Her Majesty that he is able to manage tbe realm aa well aa anybody. It is reported that the Queen takes hia advice upon every- thing, submitting her cwn judgment to bia opinion on all manner of subjects. With the increase of iutiatnce which has come with Her Majeaty'a growing favor. Prince Ilattenberg liaa developed an arrcgtnce of behavior which ii ti'.remely offensive to all who are obliged to come into any aort of relation with hitn. The Prince of Wales, upon learning that the Queen bad coneulted Prince Henry with regard lo the Bill in the Hoube of Commona for the pro- vision of tbe Koyal family, sect a furioaa protest against the interference of a com- paratively inbignificaul cotaider with the private attairs of hia family. In addition to thia the Duchess of Fifo com{ Uined to her father of the iuBolont and overbearing behavior of Prince Uenry, which did not tend to calm the rage cf the Prince of Wales, or to make matters any more pleasant between him and hia royal mother. Tho Queen's protection alone prevents Ualteubcrg being boycotted by the oiher members of the Koyal family. They all want him to be eeni to reaide on tbe conti- nent, but it ia not at all likely the Queen will yield an inch or allow her peculiar fondneaa for thia ucp'.eaaant young man to be interfered with.

Thia included the coat of coppering and copper bolting, and of m;iat9, yards, rigging, aails, anchors, cables, and all other boatswain's and carpenter's Btores. This was the original expense of the Koyal George, a 100- gun ahip, launched in i7-~> at Chatham. Hhe was of '2,'JiO toni, and was about I'X) feet long and 5'.' feel broad. The modern C'juivalenl to the oid wooden lineof-baltle snip of the tirat rate i3 the tirst-class iron- clad battle ehip, and the Trafalgar may bo regarded as a good specimen of the tiuest and moat recent vessels of this type. Her original cost, txclnsive uf armament, was LO less than i->i;2,('Jl. She ia of 11, '.UO tons displacement, and is AV. feet long and 73 feet broa.i.
