A late nlitiuu ti the Express is published every eveuing during the racing season, contaiaing the results of the day's races. Bremen of history complain of the lameness of great battles. There is a terrible sameness in the lists of Idled and wounded, and it seems materially impossible to give relief or variety to the report of actions in which men fall in masses, and a victory is as often the result of chance as the reward of skill. Courage on battle fields is as common as bold riding, or the passion fur ;perilous adventure which draws young blood from drawing-rooms to the Desert, the forest, or the ocean : and yet the traits of per bonal heroism which the Victoria Cross commemorates, live in a nation's heart from generation to generation not so much as brilliant exploits as deathless and divine examples of self•sacritico. Indeed, it is only by such examples that the " glory "of %Vsss is justified. But for the devotion and contempt for life which it calls forth, War, deckeil out with whatever finery and adorned with whatever poingous titles and decorations, is nothing better than wholesale manslaughter and systematic savagery; and the truth is, that nations the most advanced in civilization show their affinity to savage races in nothing more than the exclu sive homage they delight to pay to the military virtues. Mankind may truly be said to be civi lized at heart, only when it has learnt to recognise valour and devotion without the scenic accessories of drums and trumpets, and the intoxicating fumes of blood and gunpowder. Thu time has not yet come when simple heroism is distinguished by the privileged dispensers of honour, or even by the sounder instincts of the populace, from the dazzling foppery of camps and barracks. We lavish stars and crones ou blundering generals who have splen didly sacrificed thounands of the unknown brave to their own combined ignorance of strategy and lust for fame ; but the moo who win the * wades in spits of the ignorerice or obstinacy of their leaders are cut off by a grateful country " with a shil " hag ;" and without the trade mark of mili tary service, where is the official or public recog nition of true "valour"? And yet, in this vast seething world of London, daily and almost hourly, scenes are enacted of courage and devotion not surpassed—we had almost written, not equalled— on any battlefield. It u not only that to thousands of human creatures on their passage across the burning wilderness of life in an immense city, when the struggle for life is fierce, every day's existence is a battle. it is not only that many • silent and inglorious resistance against fate or fortune is fought out in garrets by the friendless and the starved. It in not only that charity untrumpeted confronts crime, misery, and disease in their direst shapes in the slinky.' hiding-places of the outcast and forlorn. But it is in the common and familiar services—so familiar that we pass them by as the vulgarest and most necessary incidents—by which the lives and properties congregated and amused in such • metropolis as ours are guarded against damage and often rescued from destruction—that heroism to which pompous battles show nothing s comps. rable tights its obscure actions, and win s its un recorded victories. tt'ho out of the thou ands of idle sightseers wholourige away the small hours of a siimmer's night staring at a Fire bimetal:en thought of the uncommon worth of such a manse Mr. Beam woou--the beloved and honoured leader of the bravest--that modest and retiring chief to whom duty was religion, and religion was character and life itself f Hero was • man whom not only the brigade who knew his face as a father's, and would have gladly followed his calm and cheery voice into the pit of death—not London only, but all England, and all societies of men who speak the English tongue, will mourn as London mounts him today. "Terrific conflagrations" are so frequent in • city of nigh three millions of inhabitants, that th e y are easily regarded as nothing mom than a passing spectacle—a paragraph in to-morrow's paper. Even a fire that rages without interruption from Saturday till Monday, consumes lines of ware houses, wraps in ruler a quarter of a mile of wharves, and lights up three counties with a lurid glare, might be forgotten before the Insurance offices had reckoned up their losses. But we should be sorry for our fellow countrymen if we could believe that the vain and mischievous idolatry which erects statues to the destroyers and scourges of niankind, to the dashing swordsmen, or the lucky strategists, had so blinded their eyes and dulled their hearts, as to obscure . from them the grandeur of a devotion as superior to bravery in battle, as bravery in battle is superior to bravery iu a Prize-ring ; as to permit the memory of a Bemire/owl—crushed in • moment under the burning wall—to pass away with the smoke and flame of his funeral pile ! Tits issue of the monthly Board of Trade re turns is so di4gracishilly dilatory, that one is glad to fall hack upon other sources for information respecting the course of trade. The figures last received from New York illustrate the extent of the grain movement, and, in conjunction with the comparative cessation of the American consump tion of our manufactures, furnish an ample expla nation of the continuo' low exchange, and of the contui.ied shipments of gold to America. From THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1861. the lit Sept. to the present date, in the last throe years, the shipments of flour from the United States to the United Kingdom have been as fol lows : 1858-9 8",760 barrels. 1859.60 186041 The exports of wheat have been : Dews 16E640 1860-61 And those of Indian corn have been : 1656.9 305,797 bushels. 16'060 lis10-61 The increase is so great that it may almost be said that a new trade has been created. That trade is entirely on one side, and this is the simple explanation why the exchanges have been thrown so far wrong as to necessitate the transmission of 7,300,0001. in gold from this country since the end of November—that is to say, within the period to which the grain statistics above given refer. Of no article of consumption will the statistics henceforward be watched so anxiously as those of cotton. If the North and the South are to be be lieved, we have had the last crop of cotton that will reach us through the regular channels until the lung smouldering quarrel between the two powers shall have been finally settled. The nearer we get, therefore, to the exhaustion of our stocks and to the period when, in the ordinary course of trade, the shipments of the next crop to this country would begin, the more acute will become our anxiety. On last Friday week the stock at Liverpool was computed at 1,130,210 bales, being 204,390 less than at the corresponding period of last year. On Friday last the estimated total was reduced to 1,105,970 bales, or 201,480 less than last year. The stock is declining, and will continue to do so. The question as to how the next supply is to be obtained will, therefore, grow in interest as each week passes by. LORD CAMPBELL The Lord Chancellor is dead, taken away with a suddenness that surprises even those who bad said that his departure would be without warning. On Saturday he was engaged in his ordinary pursuits, and in the afternoon attended the Cabinet Coun cil held at the Premier's official residence in Downing -street. To his colleagues he appeared cheerful, and full of mental vigour. In the evening he entertained a party of eighteen at dinner, and while with his frieuds was full of lively converse, and showed no symptoms of illness. At 1 o'clock he bade his daughters good night in the drawing-room and retired to rest. Yesterday morning, shortly before 8 o'clock, his lordship's butler entered his master's bedroom, and was greatly alarmed to find him seated in a chair motionless, with his head thrown back and blood oozing from his mouth. On his approach he found his lordship insensible, and at once gave alarm to the household. Dr. limber, of Brampton-row, was immediately sent fur, and was promptly in atten dance, when he pronounced his lordship dead. It was the impression of Dr. Baber that Lord Camp bell had been dead at least two hours before lie was summoned. We understand Dr. Baber's opinion, as well as that of Dr. Ferguson, who was subsequently called in, was that the learned lord's death was the result of a rupture of one of the principal arteries in the region of the heart, internal bleeding caus ing suffocation. The paternal manse was in Fifeshire • and there John was born in MI. He was educate d at St. An drews, where he took the degree of M.A. He re paired to London to pursue his legal studies, poor in purse, but with a source of income in his pocket in the shape of • letter to Mr. Perry, of the Morning Chronicle, who employed him both as theatrical critic and as a parliamentary reporter. His industry was extraordinary, and he studied law as effectually in the mornings as if he had not been at work half the night. His jocose humour lightened all the labours of his life to himself and his comrades. He was called to the bar iu 1806, after complet ing his studies under Mr. Tidd, the author of the celebrated "Tidd's Practice." His first employ ment was reporting Lord Ellenborough's judgments at Nisi Prins ; a very high service, as is known to all who are aware of the use made of those judgments as authorities ; and their value is enhanced by the note, of the reporter. Mr. Camp bell roes rapidly through the drudging stages of his profession became leader on the Oxford Cir cuit and at Nisi Prins, and in 1821 married the .laughter of Mr. Scarlett, afterwards Lord Abinger. His professional income, already large, became enormous, and the best care was taken of it. In 1827 he was made King's counbel, and in 1832 solicitor-general. In 1834 he was attorney-general, and in that capacity obtained great professional triumphs, in the two cases of the Melbourne and Btockdale trials. His next promotion was not effected under kindly and graceful influences. Just before the whiggovern ment went out in 1841, and when the event was clearly foreseen by everybody, while struggled against by the holders of power, a bill was brought in and urged forward with extreme haste to pro vide two new judgeships in the Court of Chancery, it being universally understood that Sir J. Camp bell was to step into one of them when obliged to resign the attorney-generalship. Remonstrance was made against the inteution to put a common law practitioner, however eminent, into an equity judgeship, and on other accounts also the measure was found impracticable and it was thrown up. The Chancellor of Irela nd, Lord Plunket, was then written to, iu the same week, to request him to resign the seal to Sir John Campbell. Lon! Plunket indignantly refused. The minis terial newspapers then presented paragraphs about his age and infirmities, and his lung-felt wish to retire. He openly con tradicted this news, declared himself quite well, and denied having ever said a word about retiring. He was pressed more urgently by his miuisterial correspondents, and reminded of the Bishopric of Tuam having been recently given to his son, and of other patronage of which he had ob tained the fruits •, and be obeyed at last, avowing, in his farewell address, the facts of the case. lie carried with him his title to a retiring pension of 4,000 i. a year, and Plain John stepping into his seat, anticipaied the same. But the delays had put the matter off rather too long. Lord Campbell sat as Chancellor of Ireland for only asiugle day, after having received his peerage for the purpose. His lady had been a peeress for some years, owing to the curious fact that his services in the Commune could not be dispensed with by the Whig ministry. His lady was therefore made Lady Stratheden, with descent to her son, and Sir John was promised a at a future time. peerage Ireland, and giving up his claim for a retiring pension, Lord Campbell became a cabinet minister as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. His energy now devoted itself to literature, and be began to bring out his "Lives of the Chancellors." Literature was nut, however, sufficient to occupy the energies of this industriouslawyer, nor his office to satisfy his ambition. As might eerily have been anticipated, be found another judge who might be persuaded that he was too old and infirm for office, and had better resign in his favour. His old friend, Lord Denman, two years younger than Lord Camp bell, was prottounced in 1849 so infirm that he ought to resign the Chief Justioeehip. Lord Den man protested, as Lord Plunket had done, that he WWI perfectly well able to go through his duties : but Lord Campbell thouglit otherwise ; and imme diately the newspapers began to bewail Lord Den man's weight of years, and to predict that his sprightly senior would soon be in his seat ; and early in 1850 the event took place accordingly. In 1859 ho attained the highest houours of his profes sion in the Lord Chancellorship. In his judicial office in the House of Lords he was extremely diligent and eminently serviceable. As a lawyer, his abundant readiug and un failing assiduity justified the success which his indomitable determination to get on would probably have obtained at all events. He was not a scholar ; nor were his countenance and voice prepossessing, nor his manners good. He was pleasant and gaud-humoured in court and iu the drawing-room ; and the consideration he ob tained thus, and by his wealth (understood but not manifested), and by his rank, and especially by his success, were enough for him. Heartfelt respect and intimate friendship were not necessary to him ; and he would probably have been quite content with the knowledge that, after his death, he would be held up as an example of the social emcees ob tainable in our tortutiato country by energy and assiduity, steadily reaching forward to the prizes of ambition.

LLTEST INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE AND ROME. On Thursday evening Lord John Russell, in replying to Mr. D. Griffith,stated that France had refused to accede to a proposition made by Austri► and Spain, that the Roman catholic powers should act together in support of the temporal power of the Pope. We now subjoin the despatch addressed on this occasion by M. Thouvenel to the Austrian and Spanish ambassadors, who had been com missioned by their governments to make the pro position referred to. The notes presented by the two diplomatists being identical, M. Thouvenel sent a common reply. It is as follows : Park, June 6. Sir,—l have received the note which your Excellency has done tne the honour to address to me, dated the 28th of May, in which you express the desire of your government to come to an understanding with the government of the Emperor, with a view of securing in a definitive manner, and as the result of an agreement between the catholic powers, the maintenanceot the temporal power of the Holy Sea M. Ambassador was estrusted by his govern ment with a similar mission. My first duty wan to place before the eyes of his Majesty these important communi cations, sod I now find myself in a position to reply. The sentiments inspired in the government of —by the po- sition of the Holy Father, are in entire conformity with those of the government of the Emperor. That government has equally lamented and condemned the aggression directed against the Pontifical states, and if the grave political con derations, which Austria nod Spain have both taken into account, at this epoch, have not allowed it further to oppose accomplished events, it has neglected nothing in order to limit their consequences. The corps of occupation at Rome was augmented without delay, and the Pope being able to dwell with security in his capital in the midst of the turmoil which agitated Italy, has been indebted to the French troops for the preservation of a part of his ter ritory. The government of the Emperor by some seta, of which, as I ascertain with satisfaction, the government of does not hesitate to express approval, has testified, and ecostantly testifies, to the profound and invariable sympathies which animate it in relation to the chief of the church. The precarious situation is which circumstances have placed the temporal power of the Holy See, do not excite less distressing sentiments among the catholic nations, and as it concerns the peace of consciences that such serious questions should not remain for a long period in suspense, it is certainly the duty of governments to unite their efforta, in order to simplify them and facilitate their solution. I do not believe, however, M. —, that it would be useful to discuss here, with the necessary fulness, the system accord. log to which the States of the Pope ►al the city of Rome would establish, so to speak, a mortmain property appro priated entirely to catholicism, sad in virtue of an un written law, placed above the rights which regulate the condition of other sovereignties. I confine myself to mind ing the fact that neither the most ancient nor the most recent historical traditions appear to sanction this doctrine, and that England, Prussia, Russia, and Sweden—powers separated from the church—signed at Vienne, with the rum authority as France, Austria. Spain, and Portugal, the treaties which restored to the Pope the possessions he had lost. The highest expediency—l haste° to proclaim it—agrees with the greatest social intermits in requiring that the chief of the church maintain himself on the throne occu pied by his predecessors for so many centuries ; the opinion of the Emperor's government is very firm on this point, but it thinks also that the wise exercise of the suprotne authority and the consent of populations are in the Homan states, es elsewhere, the first oonsidemtioas of the solidity of power. The gravest dangers which now menace the temporal sovereignty of the Holy See proceed, it is true, from without, and if the occupation of Rome provides for the necessities of the present, the future remains exposed to hasarde which we sincerely wish to avert. • Austrieand Spain, H. —, agree with ns in this task; but they do not at the same time indicate the means to be em ployed for accomplishing it, and moms explanations on their part, moreover, become the nine, necessary, as their position towards Italy differs, under a certain aspect, from that of France. We have seen with regret the stipula tions of Villafrsnca and of Zurich fail of com plete execution, and we should have wished that the monarchy of the Two Sicilia bad not been overthrows; nevertheless, the match of events, while contrary to its wishes, has not affected the imperial governaseat m =oh a direct way as the courts of Vienna and Madrid. With out giving our approbation to what has passed; without wishing to cover with our guarantee the existence of the new state of things, no dynastic interest prevents us from effecting normal relations with the kingdom of Italy, and the obstacle to its acknowledgment rests, as far as we are concerned, simply in the difficulties inherent in affairs at Rome. _ May we be permitted to hope that Anstrie and Spain will from the present time be disposed to take this point of view, and that their solicitude for the Holy See willibe superior to any private consideration? The foregoing is a question which I pat to myself rather than to your Excellency ; but the doubt even which it excites, and the consequences which result from it, do not allow me to appreciate with as much exactitude aa is required, the nature of the common action proposed by the government of —. I do not conceal, M. —, that the principle of non intervention which has saved the peace of Eumpe, ex cluding to-day, as it did • year ago, the em ployment of force, there exists in our eyes a strict connexion between the regularisation of the facts which have so considerably modified the situation of the Peninsula, and the solution to be given to the Roman question. The government of the Emperor will, then, be very happy to learn that Austria and Spain deem it possible to enter also in the only path which, as seems to it, mu conduct without new shocks to a practical result; but it does not hesitate in any hypothesis to give the assurance that for it. part it will not adhere to any combination which is incom. Wilde with the respect it professes for the independence and dignity of the Holy Pee, and which would be at variance with the object of the presence of its troops at Rome.—Receive, ke., (Signed) TUOITVIMEL (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ITALY. MILAN, Jinn 22, Er=Esc. The Perateeranza of to-day says :—" We learn from a reliable source that on the 20th instant, in view of the approaching death of the Pope, apart ments wore prepared at Verona for the Austrian Cardinals and Saufediste, who would fly from Rome ou the death of Pius IL, and would elect a new Pope." 311e3SINA, June 23. 120 Bourbonians having disembarked near Syra cuse, were 'surrounded by Italian troops and arrested. 23 of thew were shot.

The Sehlesiuhc Zeitung of to-day publishes news from Warsaw, stating that the laws in connexion with the reforms recently published had in no way given satisfaction. The privileges granted to the Council of State and the municipal councils were found to be so in significant that their proceedings promised no results. - - The dissatisfaction of the people was increasing, and the aspect of affairs in general was most gloomy. Abramowicz had returned to Warsaw. HUNGARY. PERTH, Jong 22, Evricrigo.

The assertion of the Patric that no limit is fixed to the maintenance of the stains quo in Rome pro vokes the following observations from the Opinion Nationale : If this journal is well informed--and the confident tone in which it speaks leads us to think that it is—the tele graph did not give an unfaithful analysis of the despatch sent to Rome by the cabinet of the Tuileries. This per sistence in protecting the temporal power of the Holy See will delight the Ultramontanista ; but we do not very dearly see what advantage the imperial government is to get by it. This protection will evidently not rally to the government the clerical party, which is the born enemy of the revolution, and it wounds the feelings of the great democratic party, which it is so much for the interest of the government to conciliate. The Prose says on the same subject : The Patric'. deCisration, if we are to assume it to be oar red, is Dot so favourable to the maintenance of the temporal power as may be supposed. To declare that the occupa tion will be indefinitely maintained is to admit that it will be indefinitely necessary, it is to admit that the rapture between the holy see sad the people, which it oppresses, is irremediable. A government in such a situation is doomed. No limit is fixed, says the Patric ; but equity and right, sided by time and events, will fix oue. Two facts are mentioned this evening which tend to show that the hopeful view taken by the Praise is not unfounded—the one is that the Emperor will receive a deputation from Rome to present the numerously signed petition, praying him to with draw his troops ; and the other—that during the Emperor's absence at Vichy and elsewhere, Prince Napoleon will preside at ministerial councils. It is yet uncertain whether the Empress will accompany the Emperor to Vichy, or will remain with tho Imperial Prince at Compiegne or St. Cloud during the month of July. It is stated positively that when the Emperor leaves Vichy he will pass a week with Count de Morny, at his estate of Nadas, in Auvergne. According to rumours from Madrid, the Empress means to go to England in the course of the summer, and will return by way of Cherbourg, to witness the manieuvres of the famous " trireme ;" and after that she will meet the Emperor at Biarritz, and then proceed alone to Spain. Count de Persigny is about to go to England to instal his family at a seaside watering-place, the name of which is not mentioned. M. Billault will be Minister of the Interior ad interim during his short absence. The Siamese ambassadors are, I believe, to be received by the Emperor at Fontainebleau on Wed nesday. They are lodged at an hotel belonging to the state in the Rue Lord Byron. Two days ago they dressed themselves for the first time in the ordinary evening dress of a European gentleman, and inquired very anxiously of their tailor whether they were quite in the fashion. The &irk complains that Marshal Castel lane, commanding at Lyons, compels a regi ment, in which there are 200 protestants and 20 or 25 Jews, to attend Roman catholic worship every Sunday. It is only lately that Mar shal Magnan told the Senate that no soldier of the army of Paris was obliged to take part in Roman catholic processions, or attend mass, if he had con scientious objections. Why should the practice be different at Lyons 1 The principle of liberty of conscience, proclaimed in 'B9, is clearly against Marshal Castellano. The volunteers were very busy on Saturday, and besides the usual musters for drill and marching, several important inspections took place. The Duke of Crimbrislim inspected the Loudon Hi& Brigade in Hyde-park, and Lord Clyde inspected the Scottish iu the Regent's-perk. In both instances the operations were beautifully executed, and received the high commendations of his royal highness awl the noble veteran. There was also a grand field day of metropolitan ride corps, to the number of about 2,500, on Mickloham Downs, under the command of Colonel M'Murdo. The evolutions were well executed, and afforded great de light to a large mass of spectators. . . _ _ A letter from Alexandria, of tho 4th, says :-- " The event of the week has been the departure from Cairo of the annual caravan for the Hedger. The pilgrims were despatched with even greater pomp than had been displayed for some years past; but an innovation has been introduced which has caused great scandal. The Mahhmil has from time immemorial set off from Cairo, borne on high, upon the back of a slow-moving but stately camel, reserved ex pressly for the purpose,and regarded with feeling* of venera tion almost equal to that paid to the fabric it carries. This year the framing, with its gold embroidered cover, was sent across to Sues strapped upon a railway truck, an un dignified proceeding, with which the faithful have been so thoroughly disgusted that a large number have returned to Cairo, and have relinquished the idea of performing the pilgrimage." REcALL OF AN AMERICAN MLNISTER.—The Nero York Times says—" A curious development reaches us from Washington. It is to the effect that among the telegrams recently seized by order of the government has been found incontestable proof that Mr. James E. Harvey, lately ap pointed Minister to Portugal, and well kaolin as Um Wash ington correspondent of the New Yerk Tritest and the Phi ladelphia North Amerkam, was the tint person who tele graphel to Governor Pickens, of Swath Garonne, informs. Von relative to the Fort Sumter expedition and its stmiagth. He is a native of South Carolina, but has been for years professedly devoted to the Free• Soil Party. He will of course be immediately recalled." AMERICA. EVACUATION OF HARPER'S FERRY. NEW YORK, Jun 15. (Per Prince Albert, by telegraph to St. John's and via Galway. Harper's Ferry has been evacuated by the Con federates in great haste. They attempted to destroy the railway bridge, but failed. - , All the government property has been burned. The Confederates have abandoned the whole line of the Potomac, with the intention of concentrating their forces at Manassas Junction. The report that General Butler had captured the Confederate batteries at Great Bethel has proved untrue. General Butler requires more men before undertaking offensive operations. Ten regiments have been ordered to reinforce him at or Monroe. The Governor of Missouri has issued a procla mation calling for 50,000 state troops to resist the Federal usurpation ; and the state officers have abandoned Jefferson city and burnt the railway bridges west of that point, with the idea of con centrating their forces at Arnow Rock. General Lyon, with a large body of Federal foroes, followed them in close pursuit. At the election of a member to Congress in Maryland the Union party triumphed. The Virginia Convention at Wheeling has passed an ordinance vacating the state offices and pro viding a provisional government. Rsstern Tennessee has given 10,000 votes against secession.

Three thousand Federal troops loft Fort Monroe on Sunday night to attack the Confederate position, 9 miles distant. In the darkness two Federal regi ments fired on each other with fatal effect. At daybreak the Federate advanced, but were repulsed by masked batteries of heavy rifled cannon. Brigadier General Pierce, commanding the Fede ral forces, is said to have lost presence of mind; and the Federals, after having been exposed for one hour to a galling fire, retired to Fort Monroe. General Butler estimates the loss of the Federal troops at 90 killed and 100 wounded. The Federal government has chartered the steamer Vanderbilt, which is now loading with am munition, it is rnmoured, for Fort Pickens. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH VIA HALIFAX. NEW YORK, Juxe 13. General Butler reports the Federal losses at Great Bethel at 14 killed and 45 wounded. General McClelland's forces are rapidly moving towards Harper's Ferry from the West. Five hundred secessionists have been routed at Romney, Va., by an Indiana regiment. Troops are advancing from the eastward by three routes on Harper's Ferry. QUEENSTOWN, Jews 23.

THE LOSS OF THE STEAMER CANADIAN. ratan PARTICULARS. On Saturday we announced, in brief terms, the total loss of the Canadian, royal mail screw steamer, in the Straits of Belle Isle, a channel about 50 miles long and 12 broad, which separates Newfoundland from Labrador and the American continent. The channel is deep, and affords a safe passage (in summer) to the Oulf of St. Lawrence, but it is seldom frequented. The coast on both sides is bleak, and the harbours, such as they are, ale not considered safe. On the north-west side of the island of Belle Isle is a har bour used by the French fishing fleet about the "Banin,"&c. It will thus be seen from the above particulars of the Crafts in which the ill-fated Canadian foundered that in summer the Belle Isle route is considered safe, but there are instances where a very severe winter may cause the strait. to be impassable, owing to the enormous quantity of drift and stationary ice, until late is June or early in July. We have received the following particulars of the wreck fro Montrea l s mnhlesars All Navigationaßroth the Navigation C o mpany Liverpool agents of the m The Canadian was bet about noon on the 4th instant, about five miles off Belle Isle. The weather at the time was thick, and a abort eta on. The ship -was going • dead slow' when she struck a large piece of sunken ice, the top of which was flash with the water, and which appears to have ripped up the bottom of the vessel to a large extent " For some time the fore comportment of the vessel kept perfectly free, until the water brad come up over the steer ago deck, having forced up the hatches, end then dewed through into the forebole and tilled it. When the captain (Graham) found that hie slop WAS no seriously tlaimwd ho turned her hood to the westward, and steamed full ;peed towards the Load, with the double intention of lauding the passengers and crew as near the shore as possible, and abo of beaching the steamer. At this juncture of the sad ca tastrophe laud was 11 miles a-head, When Capt. Graham flood that the ship was settling fast, he stopped the engines dad got the boats reedy as fee: as possible, the prusiengers all the time remaining cool amid collected, with the excep tion of some of the gentler sex, who were in a state of much anxiety and grief. Everything being ready, the pas-engee , and crew gut into the boats, all of which were lowered Neely, with this awl exception—one of the boats, fitted with Clifford's patent lowering apparatus, capsized when being let loose from the davits. and all on hoard perished. "There was plenty of actuannialation in the boats for all onboard; and to show that everything was done iii the least possible time, cociableting that the vessel mak in ..I,out half-an-hour after she struck, we may Mate that a !schen of the mails was WWI. The beide were afterwards picked up by three French flailing vessels which fortunatclv were in the immediate neighbourhood , and touvey.ed to Qnirpon Bay. " Captain Oniham then cliaitcre4lie largest of those vessel■ to be put in proper condition to miry the ship wrecked people to St. John's, Newfoundland, for which place they sailed on the Bth inst. In order that news might reach England as soon as possible of the dos. of the Canadiao, Captain Graham mused two officers, first and fourth, to be left behind, with one of the lifeboats, to intercept the .orth Briton, in order that she Plead , ' follow the 'marque to St. John's, for the purpo,o of Winging the crew and passengers home. The officers mid season sailed it to l'oiut Amour, in the Straits of Belle bile, and succeeded in boarding do North Briton. The latter attempted to force her way down to St. Jollies, but owing to dense fogs and impenetrable toe she was compelled to abandon the attempt, and steer away for England, after a detention of 70 hours. " It was expected that the Lenore would reach 5t..140.t intine to telegraph to Montre.d for Hibernian, tracing Quebec on the Irrith June, to mill at Ste John's and pick the survivors up.

Allan Brothels are unaldo to &tate p..i tivelv who and how many were drowned, but from all th , t can he learned probably Zi of the passengers and 10.4 iLa crew perished.
