GENERAL.

The British steamer Carmona, which left Barrow, England, Feb. 23, has not yet arrived at New Y'ork, and is given up as lost, with all hands on board. She had a full cargo of steel blooms consigned to a firm in Pennsylvania, The Vessel was commanded by Capt. J. A. Halcrow and had a crew of thirty-three men. The Carmona was a three-masted schooner-rigged vessel and hailed from Dundee, Scotland, where she was built in April, 1881. Wm. Thompson owned her. Vessel and cargo were valued at $300,000 and are fully insured. The business failures during the week number for the United States 198, for Canada 25; total 223, against 223 the previous week, and 215 the corresponding week of last year. Archbishop Corrigan has received authority from Rome to suspend pastom who were made irremovable by the Baltimore Council. This is to strenthen the Archbishop in his conflict with Dr. Mott lynn's supporters. :—— Kate Claxton and “The Two Orphans” have been the attractions at MoVicker’s Theater, Chicago, during the past week. Her characterization of “Louise, the blind girl,’’which is almost as familiar to theatergoers as Booth's “Hamlet,” or Denman Thompson’s "Joshua Whitcomb,” seems to have lost none of its power to please, and has been so well patronized that it will be continued another week. Next week Miss Catherine Lewis will appear with Miss Claxton in the production of “The BrainStealer” ct MeVicker’s. MSs. James Brown Potter’s advent as an actress is said to have estranged her from her husband's family, so that her failure is pleasing them more than success Would. It is also said that Mr. Potter strongly opposed his wife's going on the stage, and then, in consequence of her persistence, the ties between them, if not quite ruptured, are very badly strained.
