I London, May 11. —The verdict of the coroner's jury over the victims of tlie Schiller disaster on yesterday was, “found drowned” ; not “accidentally drowned,” as reported last night.

Mr. Gillian accompanied tho pilot. He had be come acquainted with Mrs. and Miss Coverly, and they, forewarned by some mysterious presentiment, were anxious to leave the vessel on tho | pilot’s boat. They were dissuaded, however, by Mr. Walter and Mr. Gil lian, and determined to remain, al though their trunks wore packed and ready to be carried on deck. They sent letters to their friends, who re side in East Forty-third street, by | Gillian, and as he descended to the pilot boat they hallooed out that they would never see the Highlands again.

The arrival of the steamship Canma, from Bermu da, yesterday, with no tidings of the over due steamship Metropoilis, dis sipated tlie hopes, entertained by many persons, that the missing steamer would be hoard from. The story lias been that, on account of the heavy northwest winds which have prevailed during the past two weeks, the Metropolis -having to depend upon small sails had been driven off the coast, and had returned to her starting place. The passengers left oil the Metrop olis, after those taken off by the bark Jacob, were: Mrs. Wm. Ing, of Baltimore, four small children, a sor vant, and Mrs. Wm. T.

They marched from their homes in a body and were armed with spikes and re volvers. Crowds of men, women and boys followed them, with threats and imprecations, and were only deterred from acts of violence by the weapons of the workmen. The women were particularly bitter with invectives and abuse at a point in the march, which nearly precipitated a conflict. Threats were made to bring a crowd this p. m., when the men came out of the mine large enough to mob them. Through fear of this the authorities were called on this morning by Mr. Hutchinson for protection, and a posse is now being raised to go to Kingston this afternoon. Pottsville, May 11.—The situation in Schuylkill mining region is grow ing daily more critical. Men who are willing to work are compelled to abandon the mines under threats of death.

Two supervisors will also go, not from collusion with fraudulent parties, but for nogligon co FOREIGN. THE WAR CLOUD—THE CZAR FOR PEACE— A GENERAL DISARMING PROPOSED. Paris, May 11. The feeling hero is more hopeful. The La Liberie says tho Czar of Russia will propose a gen eral disarming, which Germany will support. London, May 11. The Times, in a leading editorial, says we bolievo the Czar is resolved to hold most decided language in favor of tho maintenance of peace, and to use every effort to put. a stop to the present alarm. A few days will probably bring forth official disclaimers of recent, reports. It is possible that it will be said that there is nothing to justify French ap prehensions ; but if there should be a mistake on this point, as long as tlie present condition remains there must be uneasiness and oven danger. An unforeseen incident, an outburst of jealousy may precipitate a rupture. The Czar is enabled to guarantee that France will not attack Germany within a few years. Gigantic arma ments are a mutual menace, anti while they exist it, is beyond the pow er of imperial peacemakers to allay apprehension. Berlin, May 11. The rumor that Germany and Prussia intend address ing representations to Franco in rela tion to her armament is false. THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT. London, May 11.

An immense crowd gathered around the station and cheered enthusiastically. Tho city is decorated with flags. Tho Czar, accompanied by Prince Gortsohakoff, visited Prince Bis marck. The bill for tho suppression of re ligious orders passed its third read ing in the lower house. Tho Berlin Post says there are rea sons to suppose that certain Polisti priests have conspired against tho lives of Princo Bismarck urtd Dr. Falek, minister of ecclesiastical af fairs, and that three persons, whoso names are already known to tho po lice, were hired to carry out tho plot. A CONGRATULATORY ADDRESS TO TIIK POPE.

JIIAYK been saying a good deal through the papers of late extolling JORDAN'S JOYOUS JULEP as a most wonderful NEURALGIA CURE; but for bar you may exclaim as Shakspeare when lie said “You cram theso words into mine ear against the stomach of my sense,” 1 now sub mit to you what persons say who have tried my Neuralgia Julep, with the most complete and satisfactory result: COLUMUUS, January 10, 1875. Air.Jordan: —l take great pleasure in recom mending your Joyous Julep tor neuralgia, has produced a most wonderful relief in one o the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter ever has had. She lias been treated for it by three skillful physicians, with very little bcueflt, and used all the usual remedies with little suc cess. I can with much confidence hope for a per manent cure. It is only two days since we began the use of it, nml it is apparently of permanent benefit. Yours, with respect, MRS. L. 1. NORMAN. Petkrhbu&o, Va.. Jan. 13, 1875. Jno. L. Jordan, Ksq., Columbus, Ga.: Dear Sir—Having learned through my friend R. A. Bacon of your “J. J. J.” preparation for re lief of neuralgia, and teßtcd it with perfect suc cess in my owu family, In the worst case, too, that ever came under iny observation, 1 now enclose fifty cents for a second bottle, as I con sider it too valuable a medicine to bo without, though I have no immediate use fu-r it. Very truly yours, JAMES T. TOSH. Columbus, Ga.. Nov. . 1874. Dr. J. L. Jordan: Dear Sir—Your Joyous Julep for Neuralgia has been tried in my family. M.d with the most happy result.and l find in it all you claim for its virtue. And I unhesitatingly re commend it to all who are suffering from Neural gia as something a little remarkable in its cura tive power. J. D. WORTHY. Columbus, Ga., Dec. 18,1874. Pr. J. L. Jordan— Your medicine. Joyous Julep, is without an equal for Neuralgia. Having been a great sufferer from the pain, and having tried the prescriptions of many physicians, yet uil proved of no effect until I tried four doses of your Julep, when I was immediately relieved, and have not been troubled since. S. C. MADDOX. Lake City, Fla., Nov. 4, 1874. I)r. J. L. Jordan —Please send me another bot tle of your Joyous Julep for a friend. I have never found anything equal to it for Neuralgia. Two doses cured me almost instuntly, und I can safely recommend it to do what you say. Very respectfully, kc... JOHN M. JEFFRYS. Kernandina, Fla., April, 1874. Dr. J. L. Jordan, Columbus, Ga.: Dear Dir—lt affords me pleasure to add iny tes timony to the efficacy of your “Jordan's Joyous Julep,” in giving instant relief in Neuralgia; and to all appearance, as effective as instantaneous. I was effected daily with Neuralgia, and sinco taking a few teasponnluls of your relief, two or more weeks have elapsed, and there are no indi cations of return. I hope that the human fam ily will raoeive a benefit commensurate with the importance of your discovery, and that your pecuniary reward will lie equal to its well de served merits.
