London, Nov. 25. of the people collected is that pert took up the alarm The crowd, terror stricken, frantically rushed from the imaginary danger, and so strong was the pressure of people anxious to escape from it, that several persons were violently thrown to she ground, while some others were tossed among the debris which bad been thrown on the strut It was soon ascertained that this had only been a malicious reef, and the crowd rapidly regained its composure. A cry of horror arose among the crowd u the removal of a portion of the debris exposed to view part of the leg of another victim ; but owing to the position of the body the work of extrication occupied • considerable tame, and when a clearance had been made, it was discovered that other two bodies were lying beside the one which had been first ob served—the three oonaisting of • man, woman, and child, who had occupied the same bed. Shortly before two o'clock a detachment of the 26th Cameronians, consisting of forty two men, under the com mand of Lieutenant storey, was kindly placed at the dis posal of the magistrates, to aid the police in keeping the ground clear. The soldiers were relieved at intervals by others from the Castle, and their services throughout the afternoon and evening were of great value in promoting order among the crowd. The house whose sudden fall bas been the cause of this great calamity is supposed to have been nearly HO years old. The timber used in it is believed to have come from the Boroughmuir, and it was so decayed and rotten— especially the ends of the toists supporting the save& floors —Gs to have little doubt that their giving way in some part of the building—probably the under story—was the cause of the catastrophe. But the disaster, though sudden, and of cause unexpected, cannot be said to have occurred alto without premonition. On the previous day (Satur- E t yri t re arill Informed that Mr. Chins, groat, observed that the plater bad waled a the tops of some pillars which supported the roof of his shop, and on ex aminatioo he discovered • small rent or crack in the arch of the adjoining close. No alarm was felt at this circumstance, but Mr. Wathenton, builder, was sent for, to examine it sod make such repairs as were thought neon eery. Mr. Watherston set some men to prop the roof over the close, and proceeded to examine the doors in some of the upper storeys to ascertain if any sinking or twisting of the door had occurred, which would prevent their opening and shutting easily. Nothing, we believe, was found to hadicate that any change had taken place at that time ; and the roof of the close having been temporarily propped, Mr. Watherstoo left, after promising to send men to "shore" it up on Monday morning. Towards nightfall another consultation took place among the members of the Lord Provost's committee and the Dean of Guild Court as to how far it would be prudent to continue the work of digging in the ruins after dark ; and after consideration the Lord Provost's committee came to the resolution of suspending operations until yesterday morning. In coesequsoce of the insecure condition of the tenements on the north, seat, and west sides of that which has fallen, the whole of thus houses were cleared of their inhabitants, and temporary accommodation was provided for them in the House of Refuge, the Royal Infirmary, the Police-office, and other places. That Mr. Charley Mathewe hex at haat deter mined upon coming before the public as as " entertainer" can surprise no one. The only cause of wonderment is that be has so long abstained from a style of public ammo meat which is understood to be particularly remunerative. and for which he in every way was specially fitted. First, there was the prestige of his name. Middle-aged playgoers' reminieeettoes are still so full of zest of the old days of MuMerrs et Hume, at the old English Opera House, that eves the younger peroration have become imbued with a sew of their glories ; and there are but few regular theatrical hei.itais of thirty yews of age who cannot die' course upon the wit and wisdom of those motiolognes, and who cannot remember bow Madams at Hour alternated, at the Adelphi Theatre, with Yates at Rome, and how in one entertainment the two glorious mime" joined together, and gave imitations of each other se the same stage at the same time, until the audieuoe, coo eland with laughter, scarcely knew oue free the other Them every one knew that Mr. Charles Mathews had a seer perfect appreciation of character, a thorough power of embodying it, sad a very speciality for ,ingiug those glib " patter" soup which as the very salt of an entertainment. No doubt the ideate,* have bees suggested to him a thou sand time : he MIL as se, indeed, M the commesseement of to edetimable "At Flew" which, with Mrs. Mathews , rli - he inaugurated in the most successful manner Let *lit at the Concert-room of Her Majesty's Theatre.

This sew entertainment is divided into two para. one called "The Romance," the other "The Retlity," cod both parte are autobiographical remisisecnces of the author's own Ile, depicted, let us say, witiciat the smallest aticerioe, and is the roost =nein manner. is the first part Mr. Mathews tells us of his schooklaya at Merchant Taylors', of his choice of the architect's profession, of his being articled to Augustus Pugin, and of his introduction at his father's residence, Ivy Cottage, Ilighgata•hill (a view of which ie given), to the celebrated wit. of the day. Then we have his stay in Italy with Lord Blessingeon, in the emirs, of which he introduces some marvellous personation' of !Wise life, notably these of an isapr.riaiit.re and ► street preacher--characters in which his glib utterance of the Relies language steads him in marvellous steed. This 1 1 Italian patios of his life is illustrated with some admirable pictures plated by Mr. O'Connor from Mr. Mathews's original sketches, and which merit longer attention than they were allowed last night. A divergence to the High land retreat of the Ducbca• of Raiford, where Mr. Mathews sprat part cif the shouting swop, also takes place in the bit par:, which is terminated by ► ch►recteristic tarantella, la character admirably danced by Mr. and Mrs. Mathews. The second part shows Mr. Mathews's later life, and con tains revelations of Ms acting and managerial experioness. klis visit to America, somewhat slightly touched ea, gives oppoetusity for au excellent impersonations of a Yeas, girl" by Mrs. Mathews, and his subsequent career as m aw, of the Covent-garden and Lyceum Theatres lead him M salaam, half humorously half pathetically, on the ditli aahiss bwatting a man so placed, and the facility of getting tato debt, Perham the happiest stroke throughout this pleasant entertainment was here made, is Mr. Mathews's sanction of the manner in which, with a heavy heart, he lad to go on to play the lightest parts,and how he was supposed to revel is his own misfortunes. The hits at the different pests of a manager's life were humorously given, and as the impersonation of a strolling actor Mr. Mathews gave re minimences ot himself is Sir Charles Coldstream, Capfuls Patter, sad various other of hie celebrated characters. This follows s representaticm of s baring dramatic author, who sings a legendary soma, "St. George and the Dragon,'" much in the character of those rambling tensaehanging lyrics ferniahed by Mr. Manch/ for Mr. Mathews every Christmas and Easton, and then, after certain sone' in 'An cestor Castle, where the unfortunate entertainer suffered imprisonment for debt, the entertainment is brought to s ounolunion by s dramatic prods called Paul and Virginia, is whir& both the performers take pert. (IT /11.JICT/U0 TELEGIILPH.) EDINBURGH, MONDAY EVENING. Four more bodies have been found. At 8 o'clock this morning workmen commenced to endeavour to pull down the north wall and eastern gable of the land, which were a mune of extreme danger for the men employed. In altering away the ruins, about one o'clock they suc ceeded in removing the back wall, but only a fragment of the eastern gable gave way, and the work of excavation was resumed early in the afternoon. About half-past 3 o'clock two more dead bodies were disoovered ; half en hour afterwards other two. This makes 24 dead bodies that have now been recovered from the ruins, and two have died from the injuries received at the accident, making in all 28 deaths. A considerable number, how ever, are undoubtedly yet in the ruins. The work of excavation will be continued all night, and it is expected that the gamier part of the rubbish will be removed to morrow. The greatest excitement prevails in the oily on account of the accident. The entertainment, represented before • critical and fashionable audience, which completely filled the elegant sells, was deservedly • decided success ; and that it was so may principally be accounted for by the fact that it was simply • reflection, in every phase, of the entertainer. It has been said often enough that Mr. Mathews was "always natural" on the stage, but never was he so natural as last night. He did nut "lecture," he did not " enunciate ;" he simply chatted to the audience; hu hesitation in choosing his words lent • charm to hie conversational tow, and his little cooddentan with the public, when • lamp glass broke, or • scene stuck, in. temely heightened their delight. Given as it is, and with its pleasant accessories, there can be no doubt that the new estertaininett will at once take first rank in the series of Loudon amusements, and that often as Mr. Mathews has won applause, he has yet in this to gather his proudest wreath. His permeations are not merely the attempted realisatious of preposterous characters so often seen, but renderings of recognisable personages, while in hie new French reading of Othello's address to the senate, and Hamlet's soliloquy gives under the influence of catarrh, there was an immense appreciation of the ludicrous. Mrs. Mathews' portion was bat subordinate, but she worked with thorough spirit, and mined a very fair share of the applause. First nights are always long; when a little has beau cut out of it, the sew At Music will be one of the plessacteet eatertainuienui in Lapdog,. • II NEWSPAPER aaktf, -•-' TVb ir , " 4 " %.:$4411d:x2 Tr; rtfici% • LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 26, 1861 (Stamped, ld.

If, as Swift thiclui, happiness consists in being well deceived, there are but few parsons who cannot enjoy at hart two hours of that luxr -y at the Suirfes Fantastiquee, which were opened last night by M.

DWI of Ds. lihnuinux, HPLNIOR PHYSICIAN OF ellasim-csoos HOSPITAL.—We have to announce the despise of this minded and venerable physician. which essurred. after a sheet i 115.., ea the 21st inst., at the ad. mond ago of 96 ci ; Dr. !!barman obtained the degree of M.D. of Edia Ls 1807, was sleeted • licentiate of the Royal College Physicians of London in 1808, and for many years Walled the onerous duties of awaiting pbrii cilia to the Charisivaor Hails!. LOBB OF TWENTY-TWO LIVES. One of the most ealamitoua and heartrending occurresese which it has ever been our duty to record took plass • few minutes after one o'clock on Sunday morning, is the sudden fall of a densely-populated " land," or tene ment of dwelling-houses in the lower division of the High street, Edinburgh, which resulted—so far as has yet been ascertained—in the death of twenty-two persons, and the injury, more or loss severe, of thirteen others. The tene ment was situated on the north side of the street, between Bailie Fyfe's close on the west, and Paisley's close on the east, and was joined at the back (ca the east side) by the gable end of another " land," which anteaded down Paisley's-close. The ground &or, feasting tteliigb•stnst, was occupied by the shops of Ir. thirna, grocer, No. 99, sad Marrs. Brows sad Co., victual dealers, No. 103, while Mr. Moir, iroemooger, and Mr. ICLuskie, shoe merchant, coequal the first floor. The remainder of the tenement, which caseated of six stories at the front and seven at the back, including Maas, wee occupied as dwelliagthouses by working men sad their families, many of them weekly termite of the poorest elms. Altogether, it is believed that the building contained about twenty-five householders, many of whom kept lodgers, and that the total number of inmates was not less than eighty or ninety. The great majority of these persons, including nearly all the older people and the children, had retired to rest ; but a number of the younger men and women had not been housed foe the night at the hour when the disaster occurred, and so HOG/ as has been ascertained the circumstances Maly attending the calamity were as follows :—Sergeant Bennie, of the night police, was passing down the High. Street, and had got in front of Cairns' shop a few minute* after 1 o'clock, when be heard a scuttle and a cry of "Murder" from • house in Skinner's-cose opposite; he immediately ran across the street to see what it was, and was followed by a number of persons who were standing about the close /ads, so that the north side of the street was left for the moment wholly deserted. The male turned out to be caused by a quarrel betweea a man and his wife. The disturbance was quieted in a minute or two, and Rennie was returning up the close, along with another policeman, when they heard a loud noise, sod beheld the whole "land" houses, beforewinch one of them had been only three minutes before, fall with • tremendous crash, and is another instant it was apparently swallowra i r e l ar 2 amid clouds of dust and rubbish. As the dust c away, a yawning chasm, 30 yards in breadth, bosuns vloiWe ; the whole of the doors from top to bottom had given way end fallen perpeadioulariy downwards, while the beet wan fall outwards, end only the back wall (pertly supported by the back land before mentioned) and the two houses, being party-walls connected with the adjoining were left standing. In most of the stories all armed the walls thus laid hue In a menisci fires were buraing—the dre-places being left Mending, as well as the =reamed in the wall, with all the contents of the oonieting of crockery, household and cooking uteri. Idle, ho., exposed to view in the clear, calm moonlight. lambently waillog sands mese from the ruins, with here and there mime of " Mother l mother!" from little children rudely amassed out of sleep by niters and rubbish felling twos them is their beds ; but over the greater portiou of the mass brooded • ghastly edemas, which was yet more doleful. In a few mumble the street seemed alive with people winning about, eagerly laq what led happened; sod the accapeate of the surromiliog startled ban their slap, reload that window*, as soca es some vague idea of the awful nature of the calamity reached them, poured forth Into the streets. In • short time the members of the ere brigade ad a large detmelimeet at polioemea arrived on the ground. IMiM.• germs was also mat as some as possible to the Lord Provost and magistrates, the sheriff, the members of the Dean of Guild Court ; Mr. Macpherson, superintendent of streets sad buildings; Mr. Dymxk, procurator-fiscal; Dr. Little john, police surgeon, In. All them gentlemen, as well as moat of the members of the town council, were speedily on the spot, and continued to give directioes and to lend what &miasma and advice they could up to four o'clock in the afternoon. By two o'clock a.m., the street was blocked up with =Piand bemosdee were placed across it, above and be. ste ruined building. The firemen, reinforced by a number of labourers who volunteered, were formed Leto pegs by Mr. Mitchell, and immediately commenced opera tions. The night was calm, but frosty, and the clear MOO. light shone down upon the appalling scene. There was not light enough, however, for working, and • number of flambeaux were brought from the ponce-otßee, while the jets and globes were removed from the street lamps sees to give as much lightu pandits to the workers. The patient the ruins from which the cries proceeded were Bret examined, and after great, arduous and cautious labour, beams of wood were raised, and toes of claris were dug out, and 21 or 22 poor creature* men, women, and children still in life, but nearly all of them more or less injured, were extricated. Fifteen of them were taken to the Royal lidirmany, and the remainder, most of them children, who had providentially escaped with a few bruises, were wrapped to such euvennip as could be found, and were carried to the police-office. The efforts of the brigade were then directed to get at the dead bodies. The beams of wood, smashed furniture, stones, &c., were piled on the street, as the work of turning over the rubbish proceeded. This was • work of imminent danger to the men engaged in it, as the gable wails, and the back wall, though still standing, were rent and broken, and might any moment be ex pected to hill. The western portion of the back 'wall especially, which had no support, seemed as if even • breath would have blown it over. Fortunately there was not the slightest wind up till 6 o'clock in the morning, when it began to rise, and blew some of the lamps out, but it fell away again till the afternoon. -• • The discovery of • body among the ruins soon became known to the crowd by the stretchers being taken up on to the pile for the purpose of conveying the remains to the police-office. When aoy body was exhumed, a deep and mournful hum might be heard on every side, and • teeling of intense sorrow seemed to be depicted ou the counte nances of the people as the shattered remains were borne along the street to the police-office. Here there were large another, of people who had either rela tions or acquaiutauces who resided in the land which had fallen, frantically running to and fro inquiring as to the fate of those with whom they were connected. On enter ing the cell where the bodies were laid, one of the must harrowing spectacles that could possibly be conceived was presented to the eye. At one side of the room was stretched the body of a woman with her infant daughter beside her, while at the other lay an aged woman, whose face was hor ribly mutilated. Between these were placed seven or eight other bodied., the features of some of which were so much disfigured that identification was a task of the greatest difficulty, while others presented an ap pearance little different from that which they milht have borne previous to the occurrence of the sad calamity which had so suddenly deprived them of life. On • table at one side of this room was placed for identifi cation the body of a tall, stout, middle-aged mar, his face totally discoloured, and slightly bruised. In an adjoining and somewhat dark room a inelai choly family group pre sented itself. The bodies of a man, woman, and child oho were found among the ruins, lying together in the same parities as they had occupied in bed previous to the disaster, were ranged alongside each other in the same order. The face of the woman, which was turned towards the door, was mutilated in a meat frightful manner. Hee ri , ;ht cheek was entombed in, :ier mouth, which was open, was twisted considerably to the left side and her whole face was fearfully discoloured. The appear ance of the man was such as to lead to the belief that his death had been caused more by suffocation than by any injury received, and the body of the child gave similar indications. As other bodies were brought in they were ranged alongside of this group, und by the time that operations at the ruin were suspended, each of the two apartments mentioned was filled with a long row of human bodies, several of them much mangled. In another cell in the police-chambers a very affecting I scene was witnessed. Nearly the whole of those who bad been rescued uninjured from the ruin, and who were prin cipally children, were here aasembled. They were all lying . in their night clothes, just as they had Leen taken from among the debris. None of them. though all much ex- haustod, were able to sleep, and • feeling of intense terror seemed to pervade their minds. Their cries had a most heart-reeding effect, the agony of one little boy especially, who unfortunately had been apprised of the death of both his parents in the catastrophe, being painfully affecting. In the course of the afternoon these children were removed either to the houses of friends or to some of the charitable institutions in the city. About ten o'clock • cry was raised among the crowd of people collected opposite the ruins that some other building was falling. The people who heard it instantly incased to get out of danger, and this movement excited and flightenei every one in the vicinity to such an extant that the whole MUTH OP AN ARTIFICIAL FLORIST FROM POISON. Yesterday an inquiry was held by Mr. Brent, at the Silver Rip, Cromer-street, Gmy's-inn-road, touching the death of Matti& Schemer, 19 years of age, wbo was de prived of life by the deadly effects of poison imbibed into the system donng her engagement in the manufacture of a t flower kayak Mrs. Louisa Scheurer, a widow, mother of the deceased, deposed that she was preset at the death of her daughter on Wednesday morning last. On the previous Thursday her daughter was taken ill, and complanied of a pain in the aide and intense thirst. She was seized with vomiting, and the reftele of the stomach was of a greenish colour. Wit eels took her to a doctor on the following morning, who told her she was again suffering from the effects of poison. She had been ill several times before, and complained of pains in the stomach and sickness for the last year and a half. She was envied as an artificial florist in the watehouae of M. Bergerood, of Judd-street, Brunswick-square, and up to the time of her death she had been employed in leaf making. The Mares were made of wax, sod, while wet, emerald gross powder WAS sprinkled upon them. She was in the greatest pain until she became insensible, when death pat an sad to her sufferings. Witness did not believe that the gross powder which her daughter was in the habit of using had been taken for a suicidal purpose. Mr. James Thos. Paul, surgeon, of Burton-crescent, New-road. deposed to 'mowing the deceased welt He had attended her four times within 18 months while suffering under the same effects. She had on those occasions reco vered under his treatment. lie had made a post mortem examination, end found the body of a greenish yellow colour. The eyes were also of that colour. The nails were very green, and the countenance emote particularly anxious character. The lungs gave pretence of s arsenite of copper, the liver being highly iinpreguated, as also the mesenteric glands. The stomach was much inflamed, with bunches of gitagrenous ulcerations. The kidneys were healthy. There was also iutlammation of the mucous membrane of the bronchial tubes, no doubt caused by the contact with the arsenite of copper. The cause of death was acute inthm mation of the mucous membrane of the stomach, produced by the oshalatiou of the *melte of copper. IL Harwood said ho employed tki girls in his establish ment, and for the purpose of their preservation he had suggested the wearing of masks, but it was objected to by them as producing excessive heat. They, however, wore muslin over their mouths. Mr. Paul PrOciii&SlaaMall glass tube for the inspection of the jury, into which he had placed from 4 to 5 grains of the emerald green used for the leaves, and on applying it to the spirit lamp by the aid of a blow pipe, he found at the lower end of the tube a deposit of metallic arsenic, and at the upper end arsenious acid. The powder was us light as meg. nesia, and as easily blown about; and the inhalation of the above-mentioned quantity was quite sufficient to kill an adult. He had hurl several cases of similar diameter, eruptions on the neck and face being the usual appearances. A sister of the deceased had died under the same circum etances, and was sent to the hospital, where she was treated for fever. Now that he had discovered the real cause of the affection, he should for the future recommend as an antidote the administration of the hydrate peroxyds of iron. He never before had a fatal case. _ _ The jury then retureed a verdict that deceased died in accordance with the medical testimony. SEEIOUR FIRE AT CIIESTER.—CEESTER, TUE.:- DAT MORNING. --The Queen Railway Hotel, a wag eificent building opened last summer, has been to a great extent destroyed by fire. The catastrophe origivated about 5 o'clock p.m. yesterday, from an overheated flue in the kitchen. The mayor, the magistrates, and the militia were all quickly on the spot, with the (Amster fireengines. The Birkeuheed and Crews engines were telegraphed for, and soon arrived. The Saltney euginci were also present ID good time. Captain Humberstote, M.P., heading a small body of volunteers, supported the police, and every effort was made to protect the property. There was just time to save the plate and a large part of the furniture. At one period the railway station itself, which cost above a iptarter of a million, was deemed iu danger. The interior of the original part of the hotel is destroyed, but at midnight the large new wing was sate, so that the establishment may be re-opened immediately. The building is partially Wound its the London and Liverpool Fire-otlice. CAPTURE OF • RUNAWAY CLERK FROM NEW ZEALAND.—A young man of gentlemanly appearance, named William Joseph Bruttou, was taken before the borough magistrates at Southampton yesterday and remanded, uuder the following circumataoom:—Bruttou LAS been engaged for the last three or four years as a clerk at the Union Aus tralian Bank, Otago,SNew Zealand, whence he absconded in the month of August with nearly tram/. iuhis possession. He made his way to Melbourne, and there took a passage in the ship Roxburgh Castle for England. This vessel ar rived off Cowes on Saturday evening, on her way up Channel for Loudon, and the prisoner lauded at that port with two or three other passengers, and in the evening Bretton crowd over to Southampton. At that place he time under the vigilant eye of Verge, a detective policeman in the Southampton borough police force, who recognised him uanswenng to the descnption of the runaway which had been sent from London. Verge consequently took him into custody, and on searching him about 30M. was found upon his person. The prisoner was kept in custody till yesterday morning, when he was taken before the magistrates, and rent:aided until the arrival of an officer from Loudon, who had goes to Deal to await the arrival of the Roxburgh Castle at that place. Sruttue acknowledged his guilt. TO TEI TOMOS OF rat rxrusa. Sia,—On Saturday, the Tud inst., I embarked at Quebec on board the steamer North Briton, owned by the Mottreal Oman Steamship Company, bound for Liverpool, and carrying the Canadian mails, 34 cabin, and about 90 , steerage passengers. This veuel, advertised as one of a line I of first-clam passenger ships, was very heavily laden with I , freight, of which circumstance we were disagreeably re minded, within twelve hours of the commencement of our i voyage, by our grounding in the Hirer St. IDIMIDCO. The neat tide having, however, brought us off safely, we dis charged the pilot at Father Point, and continued our voyage. Strong easterly winds, with thick, rainy weather impeded or• progress, and prevented any observation being taken. Between 1 and 2 a.m. of the sth inst., being, &cowslips tones reckoning, in mid-channel, between Anticosti and the La brador coast, the ship struck violently, and immediately ,ommenoed plunging forward on the rocks with • motion perfectly indescribable. The managers, aroused from sleep by the uoweloome sound of the striking vessel, made their way on deck, very scantily clad, and ill prepared to have the rigours of the stormy night, bun all naturally turning to the boats as the oaly chance of Serape from a n t ard sh it which, rolling and striking without eseation, threat e to rolling go to gems at every moment. The Luta, secured on . and stowed in the approved manner, so as to offer every possible impediment to safe launching, required more than an hour to be got into the sea, before which tins* the water had risen to a depth of three feet in the sleeping rabies. During the whole of this trying iaterral, the coodoct of moat of the weenier, was beyond all praise ; a very proper spirit of cool determine floe, and • freedom alike from despondeacy as from bravado, having been manifested by needy every one in presence of what seemed to all an inevitable fate. With some difficulty the women and children were lowered into two boa* which were ordered by the (again to lie under the lee of the ship till daylight. Pregnancies were being mole to embark the male passengers in the remaining four boats, when, to the oonsteruatioo of those on board, it was discovered that they had all severed their communication with the ship, and in a short space of time no trace of any of them could be discovered. Nothing now remained but to await the break of day ; if the vessel, which still continued heavily pounding on the rocks, and of which the falling MAIM and bursting decks seemed to indi• rite the approaching catastrophe, should so long hold to peer. Miserably passed thaws long home of darkness to all in the Ul-fated vessel ; doubly so to three whose wives and families, contending in small boats with the stormy waves of an unknown sea, seemed &Wood to • death per hap snore ten Able than the speedy fate with which those still upon the ship were menaced. It was about (eerie the cumin when, the violence of the motion sensibly abet*, man began to whisper a faint hope that the North Bel ton was firmly impacted in the rocks; and that if laud were near and some of our deserting boats should return, it ins even yet possible that all might be saved. At dawn we found or-selves lying (at low tide) In shoal water, within two hundred yards of • fiat, low, desolate island of about a mile in circumference, covered only with a rank hegbsge, and evidencing, by the drift-wood plentifully strum over every part, that the sea, in stormy weather, swept keratin surface. Higher land wee virile at some &dance to the N. and W. Of all our boats we could oily diseern three, buffeting with she now happily subsiding sea, of which one, filled with women and children, wa s making for the low island, The other two boa* at Ind arriving at the ship, succeeded in disernbarichg the passen gers and those of the crew still remaining oa beard. Oa land* we dhoovered that, after a miserable night spent eroachial in the bottom d the boat up to their waists in water, the moms and Mares it untamed had all arrived mile and unisjimad, beyond a few bruises ; and otnesives, so rairdfally presereed, we ventured to hops that ear whin ftimpsokm adiglit have been carried by the eeriest to the land we perceived in the distance, which the brightsaier day now revealed to us ea a group of islands, backed by a long line of amt. A calm day afforded us an opportunity of arranging a tent made of one of the ship's sails, and of getting elf from the wreck enough provisions to enable us (with the help of • pond of fresh water, which was forte nately discovered; to pass some days fres from the danger of starvation. It was then, that the peril of our lives being removed, the passengers began to observe with con siderable apprehension that, while very little of their baggage had been brought ashore, every sailor had succeeded in saving his bag, swollen to moat apoplectic dimensions. Towards evening, a schooner was observed, apparently making for our island, and a boat was sent off to ioteroept her. After a miserable night, pared partly in the tent and partly round camp fires, which were lighted all over the island, every one who had anything on board which he wished to preserve, proceeded at daylight to the wreck, where a scene of plunder was discovered very illus trative of the versatile genius of the British tar. Some trunks and boxes had been opened, and their contents dis gorged by • simple Gemmel operation ; while, in other in stance., the playful fellows had forted the locks, and after abstracting dime valuables which had taken their fancy, had replaced covers and straps with scrupulous exactness ; and in the ease of desks, dressing-cases, and such like articles, all attempts at forcing strung binges and patent locks having failed, a very energetic system of cracking had extracted the kernel from its shell. The baggage which still remained, having been removed by those of the passengers who consented to pay the crew fur their sereicea, was put into the ship's boats, a great deal of it undamaged, the baggage-room having bden in the fore part of the vessel, which, being higher on the rooks than the after part, was still dry. On returning to the island, we heard to our great delight that the missing boat which motioned the women and children had been picked up by the schooner we had seen on the pre vious evening. I may as well remark here, that of the other two boats, containing thirty-five souls, no tidings whatever have been received. We also found that two other fishing amacks had arrived from Mingan, a station of the Hudson's Bay Company, on the Labrador coast, about eight miles distant from the scene of our disaster, and forty miles from the spot on which or• reckoning had placed us) and embarked on board these vessels for the port. Our misfortunes, however, were not yet at an end, for a severe gale wrecked one of our schooners. happily without loss of life, but to the utter destruction of all the baggage yet left to us. Conversing, on hoard the schooner which brought me to land, with its master—an old sailor of forty years' experience on that coast—he told me that the northern passage between Anticosti and the main, always taken by the steamers of the Montreal Ocean Steamship Company, was (Leprous in the extreme, even to those well acquainted with the place ; that the shores, strongly im pregnated with iron ore, deranged compasses to an incon ceivable extent ; that the continually-changing currents diverted ships from their cow.. in a manner that the soundings failed to indicate ; sod that in foggy weather to attempt to navigate the passage was little short of insanity. To bring the story cf our disasters to a close (for I fear I have already tres passed too much upon your space), we were hospitably entertained to the best of their ability by the inhabitants of the barren coast on which we bad found refuge, and on the 11th instant we had the satisfaction of seeing the Anglo Saxon steamer, which took us on board We were grieved to find that this vessel was still more encumbered with freight than the North Briton, bags of grain filling even the unoccupied state rooms. After a most comfortless voyage, during which we were only saved by the skill of our rum inauder from experiencing a similar disaster to that which betel our former vessel, and in the course of which we passed through one of the most furious gales which I have ' ever encountered, we have arrived safely at our damn- nation. I should not have troubled you with so detailed an aooount of the sufferings of myself and my fellow-travellers had I not wished to point • moral, which may be of service to the public. The Montreal Ocean Steam Ship Company receives from the Canadian government an •ooual subsidy of one hundred sad four thousand pounds for the ccavryance of a weekly mail between Liverpool and Quebec. For this munificent sum, the provincial government naturally ' , equine that the ser vice shall be performed with punctuality and despatch.
