It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." lie tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff; Arc., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor- Icy's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. ARRIVAL OF A FORTY-PIVE TOY CUTTER FROM YEW YORK. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY. Many of the readers of The Sun will doubtless remember the arrival at Liverpool, in July, 1857, of a small craft named the Charter Oak, only 23 tons burden, from New York, her owner and builder having: performed the perilous passage across the Atlantic in this frail bark with a single com panion. The adventurous navigator, whose name is Charles R. Webb, has now accomplished a second enterprise of the kind, having arrived at this port on Saturday evening in a small cutter named the Christopher Columbus, this time accompanied by two boys, both 18 years of age, neither of them previously acquainted with nautical pursuits. The cutter sailed from New York on the 19th of August, and has occupied 45 days in the 'voyage. She is only 45 tons burden, 53 feet in length over all, 45 feet keel, 16 feet in width, and the mast is 50 feet 6 inches long. She has no raised bulwarks, the deck being protected by a stout rope sustained by iron stanchions. Her greatest draught of water is 6 feet. A more frail-looking bark in which to cross the stormy Atlantic it is scarcely possible to conceive, and as she lies off the town quay, sur rounded by the larger craft built for the purposes of our river and coast, few would imagine, or scarce believe it when told them, that this miniature vessel could have travelled over such a wild waste of waters. The Christopher Columbus was built at Stam ford, Connecticut, in seven months, every part of the work being executed by Webb himself, except th: stepping of the mast and the rigging, even to the cutting down and shaping of the timber with which she is constructed. Webb is a native of Stamford, 29 years of age, and a shipwright by trade, his nautical knowledge, as he tells us, having been gained while working as a carpenter on board a Liverpool packet-ship. This is the 17th voyage he has made across the Atlantic,----nine out and eight home. The two boysby whom he was accom panied in his daring adventure are named George Colles and Sam. Scofield. The voyage has been conducted throughout on strict temperance princi ples, and the stores of provisions were of a very modest and un-epicurean character, comprising only biscuit, mackerel, and hams, with a little salt beef. The vessel is built of oak, and sloop-rigged. A plain cabin, with sleeping recesses on either side, in the centre of the vessel, the stores occupying either end, constitutes the whole internal economy of this remarkable craft. She arrived off Cowes on Saturday at two o'clock, and came on here in the evening. Not the least curious part of the whole affair is the log, kept in a very rough manner on a few sheets of foolscap paper stitched together, the en tries all made in pencil , ink being evidently an un known commodity on board. We subjoin a copy of the log for the benefit of nautical readers who may feel interested in the daily progress of so very remarkable a passage : " Aug. 19th.—Passed the Hook Light, 8 a.m. Wind, N. 12 noon, lat. 40 31 ; distance sailed, 26 miles.

The following despatches have been published in the St. John's Ledger : • "To his Excellency Sir Alexander Bannerman, Governor of Newfoundland, &c. "The petition of the inhabitants of the Bay of St. George, in the island of Newfoundland, humbly sheweth : " That your petitioners were thrown into the greatest consternation by reason of a notice officially and peremptorily given on the 9th day of August inst. to Mr. H. H. Forrest, as resident magistrate, by the Baron Clement de la. Ronciere-le-Noury, Commander-in-Chief of the French naval division on the coast of Newfoundland, - whereby your petitioners were given definitively to understand that the concurrent right of fishery enjoyed by the planter of this district without molestation or question for a period of 80 years and upwards would be interfered with and disallowed by the French Government. " Your petitioners humbly represent that by far the greater part of the inhabitants of the Bay of St. George are natives of the soil, while all are British subjects, loyal and devoted to their Queen, and, therefore, in this emergency your petitioners respectfully approach your Excellency, and claim and solicit such support and protection as will maintain • them in the occupation of the land of their birth, and in the enjoyment of their fisheries. " Your petitioners further humbly represent that the threat of interruption held out by the French is already. attended with most serious evil, from the fact that • trade is paralysed, and will wholly be prostrated until a fair and equal participation of the fisheries be secured to the planters, up to which time your petitioners unhesitatingly declare that great distress and famine will reign paramount through the settlement. " As the' settlement of this Bay for a period ex ceeding 80 years is a fact patent to the Governments, both of England and France, through their cruisers, whose duty it was, as appears from their practice, to gather statistics in relation to the French shore, and report thereon, your petitioners humbly conceive . that if not supported in the privilege of fishing they will be at least entitled to raise the claim of indemnity for the very great losses they will necessarily sustain consequent on a removal, as the only alternative open to them under such untoward circumstances will be emigration by those who can possibly remove, or, more properly speaking, involuntary exile to another clime. " Wherefore your petitioners respectfully submit the foregoing premises to your Excellency for favourable consideration, and, as in duty bound, will ever pray. "Dated at the Bay of St. George, in the Island of Newfoundland, this 20th day of August, 1858. " H. H. FORREST, " HENRY LIND, E.M., " JAMES MESSERVEY, " SAMUEL M'KAY, " JAMES K. CRONLIN, " JOHN RENOUFF, " PHILIP PIERWAY, " WILLIAM H. BAGG, " And 119 others." " 1 Government-house, Sept. 7, 1858. " Gentlemen,—When I had the pleasure of seeing you here on Saturday I mentioned that on the 12th of August last I despatched her Majesty's ship Atalanta to St. George's Bay and the westward to obtain information for me upon the subject of the fisheries ; and on Friday morning last her Majesty's cutter Netley sailed on a similar errand, carrying despatches from me to Mr. Waddell, Magistrate at Channell, and to Mr. Forrest at the Bay. "I have carefully read over the petition of the inhabitants there. As Mr. Forrest's name is at the head of it, you will be pleased to acquaint him, for the information of the petitioners, that I consider their petition to be of great importance, and that I will lose no time in transmitting it to her Majesty's Government, for they were informed in 1857 that peace would prevail provided the convention fell to the ground. " By official notices given by the French Commo dore it seems very probable there will be no peace ;' and I have no doubt, when the Secretary of State is duly informed of the intentions of the 'Go vernment of France, the Queen's Government will adopt such measures as they may consider necessary to support and protect the fishery rights and privi leges which her . Majesty's subjects possess in this colony. " I'pointed out to you, and I think you quite acquiesced with me, that I attached much import ance to acquiring correct information; and I trust that the petitions and statements which may be sent to me will be such as that the information they contain can be substantiated, anticipating, as I do, that much evidence will be required by those whose province it will become to investigate the claims set up by the parties who place different constructions on the terms' of existing treaties. For instance, I notice in the St. George's Bay petition the following allegation—' Whereby your petitioners were given positively to understand that the concurrent right of fishery enjoyed by the planters of this district without molestation or question for a period of 80 years and upwards would now be interfered with and disallowed by the French Government.' " It is quite clear that 75 years ago the French had no right, concurrent or otherwise, to fish or occupy any part of St. George's Bay. At that time the boundaries were from Cape Bonavista to Point Richie, but in 1783 His Majesty the Most Christian King, in order to prevent the quarrels which have arisen between the two nations, re nounced his right to the fishery between Cape Bonavista and Cape John, and the King of Great Britain, on the other hand, assigned to French sub jects the fishery beginning at Cape John to Cape Ray.' The English, therefore, until 1783 had un disturbed possession of St. George's Bay. In the year 1792 the French War broke out and with the short interval in 1802 continued until the Peace of Paris in 18,14, when ' the French rights of fishing were replaced upon the footing which they stood in 1792.' Upwards of 40 years have passed away since 1814, and, in my opinion, it will be of vast consequence to establish that during this period, or a great part of it, our fishermen have prosecuted this fishery in St. George's Bay without causing interruption to the French fishery. You will ob serve that I seek for information, and will be happy to receive it from all quarters, as I understand the same notice which was given to St. George's Bay on the 9th of August by the French Commodore has also been announced by his Excellency and the officers under his command generally throughout the coasts of this colony commonly called . the French shore.' " I have the honour to remain,gentlemen, your obedient s er cant, " A. BANNERMAN. " To C. F. Bennett, Esq., and F. B. Carter, Esq., " By his Excellency Sir Alexander Bannerman, Knight, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over the Island of Newfoundland and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same. To her Majesty's subjects, residing on and pro secuting the Fisheries along the Coast of New foundland and its Dependencies. " Before the close of the present fishing season I am desirous to warn you not to interfere, or in any way to meddle with the huts, stages, structures, or any materials left during the winter on the coast called the French shore. If you wilfully de stroy or commit damage on property which does not belong to you you will not only be liable to prosecution and punishment, but you will incur the pleasure of your Queen, And throw impedimenta in the way of her Majesty's Government affording you protection, and upholding and maintaining the fishery rights and privileges which you possess. " Should you have any grievances to complain of, you will 'state to the honourable the Colonial ' Secretary, who will report them to me, and should ou fall in with any of her Majesty's ships cruising on your coasts the officers commanding them are instructed to report to me any interference you may have met with in pursuing your lawful occupa tions, or any complaint you may have to make in consequence of intimations which have been made or may be mado to you by officers command ing the ships belonging to his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the French. " Given under my hand and seal at the Govern ment-home, at St John's, in the aforesaid island, the 31st day of Aug., in the year of our Lord, 1858. "By his Excellericy's command, " J.

The Emperor Alexander on his journey to War % saw, had to pass through the governments of Tver, Kostroma, laroslav, Nijni-Novgorod, Vladimir, and ' Moscow. - In most of theSe his Majesty addressed the representatives of the nobility, speaking chiefly on the topic of the day, the situation of the peasant class, ,The Moscow correspondent of tile Nord transmits one of the Emperor's addresses, which -we translate. To the nobles of the government of Tver the Emperor said : " Gentlemen,--I am happy to embrace the op portunity of expressing to the nobility of Tver my gratitude for its devotedness and zealous readiness to contribute, like all my other governments, as far as possible to the public weal. This you proved to me during the late war, when you formed your militia ; and I have not forgotten the sacri fices then made. I have now confided to you a work—one of the most iMportant for you and myself—the improvement of the condition of the peasants. I hope that you will justify my confi dence. It is for your delegates to occupy them selves with this important affair. Weigh the matter well, deliberate yourselves, and seek the Means of regulating the new condition of the pea santry according to each locality, and in con formity with the principles announced in my rescripts, in order that the results may not entail inconvenience either upon them or your selves. You know how much I have your welfare at heart ; but I hope also that the interest of your peasants is dear to you. I have, therefore, the conviction that you will strive to have everything regulated in a manner useful to the common inte- esis of all. When your preliminary labours shall have terminated the prepositions of the committee will be presented to me by the ministry, and I have already arranged for two members elected by this committee to attend the deliberations that will take place in the general committee assembled at St. Petersburg, for the purpose of examining all the propositions emanating from the several committees a the empire. It is impossible for us not to pro ceed harmoniously in our acts, since our sole desire is the general welfare of Russiz. I leave you with the firm conviction that you will justify my expectation and confidence, and remain persuaded that you will aid, and not impede me." At Kostroma the Emperor spoke as follows : "Gentlemen,—The government of Kostroma is connected with my family by historical reminis cences, and we regard it as our cradle. I rejoice, therefore, thit after an absence of 20 years I again find myself among you. The reception of yester day touched me deeply, and I thank you for the zeal with which you have anticipated my desire to improve the condition of the peasants. This ques tion, so seriously affecting Russia's future, moves me to the heart. I hope you will justify my expec tation in this question, which is in a manner a vital question, by adapting to the local wants the funda. mental principles enunciated in my rescripts, and by terminating with God's aid this work without detriment to yourselves or the peasants. To pre sent the result of your discussions, I give you per mission to choose from among you two deputies, who will repair to St. Petersburg when the labours of the committee shall have ended, with a view to revise your propositions definitively. I hope you will justify my confidence ; and I reiterate my gra titude to you for the devotedness you displayed for me in the late war, as likewise for your present ser vices and for all your sacrifices." To the nobility of Nijni-Novgorod the Emperor spoke as follows : " I rejoice, gentlemen, at being able to thank you in person for your patriotism, a sentiment by which the nobles of Nijni have ever distinguished them selves. At every call from our country you have always been found by her among the foremost ; thus, in the late and afflicting war you were the first to respond to my call, and loyally did you ad vance; your militia troops were among the best; and I have also again to thank you for having been the first to respond to my expectation in the grave question touching the improvement of the lot of the peasantry. This is why I desired to distinguish you, by receiving your delegates Cheremeteff and Potemkin, whom I commissioned to convey to you my thanks, when acquainting you with my inten tions and wishes. I have no doubt they performed this their mission. As for me, my object, you know, is the publi c goo d . Your task, in the grave ques tion now pending, is to balance private interests with the welfare of all. Yet, I hear with regret that egotistic opinions are sprung up in your midst. I regret this, gentlemen. Selfish views spoil every thing that is good. Abandon them. I depend upon you. I hope they will no longer make their appearance, for then only will the common cause make progress. I know you have made real efforts and considerably advanced the work. Continue ! This day the term fixedfor your labours expires, but as I know that they are not yet ended, I have con sented to prolong it to the Ist of October. But by the Ist of October you will have completed them, will you not, gentlemen ? I reckon upon you ; I trust in you, and you will not deceive me. The path is traced out ; do not abandon the principles laid down in my rescripts or the programme I gave you. Your labours will be revised in the general commit tee, and I permit you to delegate two members elected from your body to supply all necessary ex planations, and these ought to be made so as to harmonise with the welfare of all. Act, gentlemen, in such a way that it may be well for yourselves and not ill for the others. I do, indeed, wish you to consult your own interests, but do not forget those of others. Confiding in you, I hope you will justify my confidence. If you prepare this great work con scientiously and bring it to a happy issue, you will give me a frezli proof of your attachment, as like wise your devotedness, and especially of those dis interested efforts for -which the Nijni-Novgorodians have ever distinguished themselves, the public weal being their end and aim. lam happy, gentlemen, I repeat, at finding myself among you after an absence of 20 years." At Moscow, where the measures proposed by the Emperor had not been very favourably received, his Mejesty said Gentlemen —Pam always happy at being able to address thanks to the nobility ; but it is not in my nature to speak against my conscience. I always speak the truth, and, to my regret, I this day can not thank- you.- You may remember, two years ago, in this hall, I spoke to you of the neeessity of pro ceeding, sooner or later, to the reform of those laws which regulate servitude—a reform that must come from above, that it must not come from below. My words have been ill understood. Since then, this reform has been the object of my constant solicitude, and having invoked the Divine blessing on my un dertaking, I have commenced the work. When, at the request of the Governments of St. Petersburg and. Lithuania, my rescripts appeared, I expected, I confess, that the nobility of Moscow would have been the first to answer my appeal. But it was the nobles of Nijni-Novgorod who took the lead, and the Government of Moscow figures neither in the second nor the third rank. I have felt great sorrow at this, because I am proud at having been born at Moscow, because I always loved this city when heir apparent to the throne, because I still love it as my native city. I have fixed for you the bases of the reform, and I shall never swerve from them." Here the Emperor explained the fundamental principles of the abolition of serfdom, as contained in his rescripts, and continued as follows : " I love the nobility ; I regard it as the first support of the throne. I desire the welfare of the people, but have no intention that it should be effected to your detriment ; but you yourselves in your own interest, ought to endeavour to im prove the condition of the peasants. Remember that all Russia has its eyes fixed on the govern inent of Moscow. I am always ready to do for you all that lies in my power to do ; give m e , th en , the possibility of espousing your interests. Do you understand me, gentlemen ?, I have been told that the committee have already effected much; I have read the minutes of its sittings ; I have ap proved several of the regulations. Once again, I repeat to you, gentlemen, that you so act as to PRICE fit)• STAMPED, SD: enable me to take up your interests. It is thus that you will justify the confidence I have placed in you." THE FRAJVKLIN 147.-YPEDITION. The following is a copy of a letter from. Captain M•Clintock, addressed to Mr. H. Collinson " Fox, commenced at Sea July 3 ; closed off Cape Burney, July 26. " My Dear Collinson,—You will be glad to know that we are, at length at sea, clear of Melville Bay and the Greenland coast, and Cape York is about 60 miles to the E.N.E. of us. "At Upernavik I put a letter on board the Emma, Capt. Parker, informing you of the supply of coals, &e., he so. generously afforded me. As soon as it was all stowed away and the weather permit ted me, I steamed onward, leaving behind me there all the sailing part of the whaling fleet (4th June). " On the ith of June we ran on a rock near Bu chan Island (the C one I s l an d o f th e Ad m i ra lty chart), and stuck fa s t. A s th e tid e was ebbi n g, the water fell about 4 feet, and left the poor Fox with a rock under her foremast; and iffathoins under her stern. 'She heeled over to starboard 35 deg., and laid the starboard gunwale abreast the .mainmast underwater. ,I greatly feared she would tumble over altogethef, or that „theloose ice, which lay all round us, would drift doVn upon the ship and com plete the catastrophe. Altogether my cogitations, when balancing myself upon the weather gunwale, wile the wafer - -steadily rose above the lee one, on nez deck or nota in the hold, I think Had anything sh y thien n g ra fe s t t c h h a ed ve a t N u v n y .bled over. I did not allow the fellows even to move along the deck. Three steam whalers were in sight; but as they could ;not have helped me, I did not make any signal to them. As the tide rose the vessel regained her upright position, and came off quite: easily after being 11 hours upon the rock. It lies. a mile off a very steep bluff; and at the time 'was capped with ice, and being only just past high water could not be seen until just within a ship's length, and then only from the masthead. No injury what ever resulted from this accident, and by next even ing it even ceased, to be thought of, as we had come up with the steam whalers Tay, Chari, and Diana, and got from them April newspapers and some po tatoes. A few days afterwards a steamer arrived from Peterhead, with newspapers up to the 14th of May. Up to the 18th of June we were in company with some of these vessels ; on that day we lost sight of the Tay in a fog off Sabine Island, and since then have been groping along by . ourselves. I regretted parting company very much, as from their greater steam power and stronger crews they often forced a passage where we could have done nothing, besides which their greater experience re lieved me of all anxiety. " On the Titli we (...111-rwanieltei with the Cape York natives, and learnt that two steamers had passed several days before. Kane's Esquimaux dog driver, Hans, is well, has taken a wife, and lives in Whale Sound. They told us he was very anxious to get away to the Danish settlements, but although he has a sledge he has neither dogs nor kayak. They also said the Advance was still lying on the beach, at her winter quarters. They asked for Kane, but not for their own countryman, Eras mus York, who came home with us in the Assist ance. They were all fat and well, and bad not suffered very much from hunger or disease since Kane's departure ; Petersen sent news of his rela tives to poor Hans by these natives. " The same evening we ran on past Cape York about 15 miles, where fog, ice, and a south-east gah detained us for a couple of days, and then grounded bergs and pack kept us prisoners until yesterday ; during our detention we shot large numbers of rotchers, perhaps 1,500 altogether—they arc good eating. I am bound for Pond's Bay, to see what in formation can be gleaned from the natives. " Captains Patterson and Parker speak of one of Belcher's ships as bring on shore to the north of the bay near Cape Burney (from Esquimaux report). Capt. Deuchars says the natives still adhere to the report of ships visited in 1849, but he says their' re port refers to two ships, and not to four ships, es was understood in England A the time. He under stands from their, that there is one on shore now near Cape Kater, in Prince Regent's Inlet, and that the other was lost previously, further north. Of course he only guesses at Cape Kater as being the position referred to by the natives. Capt. T o dd has also heard from them of a ship being on shore on an island in Eclipse Sound, and which he says is not more than 20 or 30 miles up it. Both reports 'think refer to the same wreck (probably . the Fury), and the distance between the assigned positions :hews how difficult it is for persons not conversant with the language to obtain a correct idea of dis tance from the Esquimaux. I also hope to get more coals from some of the whalers when we meet at Pond's Bay. " July 12th, near Cape Warrender.—lt was not until this morning at an early hour that we suc ceeded in reaching Lancaster Sound; we have had to contest every inch of the way from near Cape Dudley Digges with loose ice and pack. When I commenced this letter we were making fair pro gress into Pond's Bay, but soon afterwards we met the pack, which led us back up to Wolstenholme Island, and from there we crossed to the north of Cape Horsburgh. This morning, when passing the Ross Inlet, a party of eight natives were communi cated with, the same formerly met with near Cape Warrender by Captain Englefield. They have spent the last two winters at their present position (on Point Beatrice); have not seen any ships nor heard of wrecks upon their shores, near Pond's Bay, or anywhere else. They know very little of this coast indeed. I think Croker Bay is their limit to the westward, so Beechey Island house remains un known to them, One piece of information was most unwelcome—Lancaster Sound still frozen over. I am now testing its truth, and intend to examine the ice across it before going into Pond's Bay. " July 17.—We found Lancaster Sound full of pack, and easterly winds pressed in more of it, so that for two days we lay to ; land ice westward of Cape Osborn. Thence we got to Cape Warrender, close along shore, and the calm of yesterday ani last night has allowed the ice to spread, so that now (4 p.m.) we are about 15 miles only from Cape Castlereagh, but still picking our way through the ice. There is not any fixed ice remaining as far as we can judge, and certainly none across Barrow Strait. Thr summor seems forward and warm, but easterly winds have caused us all this detention ; fortunately we have ample time to spare. . . . Through the kindness of Capt. J. Simpson, of the Heroine, of Dundee, we have added a maintopsail to our little craft. "July 24th (Possession Bay south 10 miles). — Since the 17th we have been almost constantly be set. The ice carried us about 40 miles N.E. of Cape Castlereagh. Last night it opened sufficiently for us to steam pirotigh, and now, although not in clear water, ware free to move upon our course; the wind for the rast four days has been westerly, so that 1 hope a vast clearance has taken place in Barrow Strait. Three days ago, just as I had succeeded in making an advance of half a mile after seven hours steaming and blasting, and was thinking myself the most unfortunate individual in the Arctic world, the Tay was discovered in the north-east struggling through the ice ; from her greater power she was able to make better progress, and 1 midnight seemed to have reached some water to the eastward and was soon out of sight. I determined to regain the land, and now esteem myself fortunate in hav ing done so. Our coals have been sadly worked since leaving. Upernavik, but even if I fail to g et any from the whalers at Pond's Bay I can fill up at Beechey. We have not quite 35 tons on board " July 26 (off Cape Burney,. 15 miles north of Pond's Say)--Yesterday we joined the Diana, and as she is likely to go to England before the close of the season, having already killed 12 whales, I in tend to finish this long letter and put it on board her. This evening we are both fast to a loose floe, and drifting with the current about 15 miles a-day to the southward, and along the edge of the land ice, Bor 9 miles off shore. The Diana reached the north water off Cape York a few days before us, but although she went up to Whale Sound, could find no place to cross the middle ice to greater ad vantage than where we did a few days after her. She made the land off Jones' Soundland her subse quent track has been prteisely similar to ours. She affords no additional information with respect to the state and position of the pack. There appears to be water off Ponds Bay, and as the land ice is still fast, we may expect still to find the natives at Button Point. Time flies rapidly, and still no kind west erly winds. If I was independent of Beechey Island it would be as good as a week's addition to the length of the season. The Diana is, like ourselves, anxious to get to Pond's Bay. There is no wind and much loose ice about. I • think we shall certainly get there to-morrow, and, if necessary, I shall de vote a week or even a fortnight to the business of extracting information from the natives. . . . " The weather continues unusually warm and calm, and the land looks as if it had already expe rienced a hot _summer. For the present adieu.— Sincerely yours, F. L. M'CLINTOCIi." " Bristol, Oct. 2. "Gentlemen,—l telegraphed to you this after noon of the loss of the steamer Austria, from your port, by fire. I now give details, as communicated by Capt. Stempson, of th e P. P en dl e t on. " The P. Pendleton, arrived this day from Vir ginia, report s th e destruction by fire of the stea mer Ha - Austria, frommburg and - Southampton to New York, on the 13th of Sept.,. at sea; with, it is feared, the loss of .300 persons. " A French b!.rqua had rescued 68 persons from the Austria's boats and pieces of floating wood, &c.; and on the 14th of Sept., in lat. 44.18 N,, long. 40 W., and the P. Pendleton supplied provisions to the English barque Lotus, having on board 18 per sons who had been transferred from the French barqu e , and - would be take n on by th e Lotus -to Halifax, whither she was bound froth Liverpool. The other 30 persons rescued were still on board the French barque, name and destination unknown but intended to land passengers at Fayal. The captain of the steamer jumped oTerboard, and was drowned soon after the outbreak of the fire, which is said to have been caused by fumigating the ship between decks With boiling tar. " Yours, &c., ' • YAMES LEADEIi " Messrs. Croskey and Co., Boutiinmpton." As was stated yesterday, further details of this awful catastrophe were expected to be received by the Vanderbilt steamer, advertised to leave New York on the 25th ult.; but it now appears, from advices received by Messrs. Dunlop and Schoales, the agents of that line of steam vessels at this port, that the departure of the Vanderbilt was delayed for a week, she being appointed to sail from New York on the 2d inst., with the mails for England, France, and Germany. THE CATASTROPHE AT PAGE BANK COLLIERY. DURHAM, MONDAY. During the night of. Friday, after the whole of the men had been got out, the fire blazed away in the shaft with considerable intensity, notwithstand ing the engines and water-carts had unceasingly continued to pour down immense quantities of water. The fire was still b urn i ng on b ot h s i des of the drift, but the chief danger arose from what is termed a " blower" of gas, which came out of the top scam, some Eft. or Bft. below the drift. The rush of gas was so strong that the water had very little effect upon it, and the great difficulty to lie accomplished was to extinguish the light, and to allow the gas to escape in its fluid form. With this view various expedients were tried, but w ith ou t effect. The fire continued to burn throughout the whole of Saturday, and early on Sunday morning two explosions of gas took place in the shaft, the first about one o'clock in the morning, and the second about two. It was then resolved to try to knock out the gas by an explosion of gunpowder, and for this purpose one of the small cannons belonging to Mr. W. L. Wharton, of this city, was procured. After being rammed with powder to the very muzzle, a fuzee was attached, and it was let down the shaft as far as the " blower." Soon afterwards it exploded with a terrible report, which shook the houses in the neighbourhood. The rebound snap ped -the heavy chain to which the cannon was attached, and the cannon fell into the water at the bottom of the pit. Several blasts of gunpowder were afterwards tried, and after some barrels had been expended the light of the " blower" was knocked out about four o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Thirteen-engines were at work on Sunday pouring their continuous streams of water into the pit. An impression prevailed among the men on Friday night that their bodily wants had not been sufficiently cared for by the colliery authorities, and during the night some miscreant cut the hose of one of the engines. It was a most providential circumstance that the fire was suffi ciently subdued on Friday morning to enable a descent of the shaft to be made, for, had a few.hours more elapsed, the whole 86 who were in the pit must inevitably have perished. The whole ventila tion of the mine had been destroyed, and no fresh air could be supplied, except what was carried down by the water. Those who had congregated round the bottom of the shaft breathed freely enough ; but the men in the works were nearly ail found in a comatose state, and presented the ap pearance of having been drugged. Very few, i n d ee d, were conscious of the efforts which were being made to rescue them, for the heavy stagnant air had sent most of them off into a profound sleep, which, but for their timely rescue, would have ended in death. Those in the workings who retained possession of their senses dare not attempt to make towards the mouth of the shaft, because, being in total dark ness, they were afraid of being lost in the intricacies of the mine, or getting into places where they would have been overpowered by the bad air. Those who were found dead had evidently died a painless death, having by an insensible gradation passed from sleep into eternity. The statement:, of the survivors prove this. for one young man named Grey says that he slept from one o'clock on Thursday until three o'clock on Friday, when lie awoke and tried to arouse a companion who had gone off into the same state of deep slumber. In this attempt Grey again began to feel himself overpowered, when at this juncture he was discovered by those who were searching the pit. The fate of George Robson, deputy overman, was exceedingly melan choly. He had been at the bottom of the shaft up to the time 50 of the men and boys had been got out, and had manifested the greatest anxiety for those who had been under his control. He after wards wandered off unperceived into the workings, and the impure air had, it is supposed, affected his senses, for when found some time subsequently he was lying in the water with his clothes off and his watch under his head,having apparently laid down with the belief that he was going to bed. Three of the bodies were found lying about 50 yards from the west of the shaft, four were in the north district, and two in the west district. The air was very impure in the places where they were found, and with the exception of Robson, who it is pro bable was drowned, they had all been killed by the stithe" or sulphurous emission from the fire. The staple was filled with rubbish last evening. There have not been any indications of fire this morning, and it is doubtless completely extinguished. The inquest on the unfortunate men and boys was opened on Saturday by Mr. D. Trotter, deputy coroner, at High Page Bank Farm. Witnesses having been called to identify the bodies, the in quest was adjourned until Wednesday week. The Bishop of Durham visited the scene of the catastrophe on Saturday, and administered spiritual consolation to those whose relations and friends have been so- untimely cut off; and he also ad dressed a few earnest observations to those who had been rescued from a terrible death. Throughout Sunday and Sunday night men were actively employed in filling up the staple, 25 fa thoms in depth, which communicates with the drift. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY.
