DESTRUCTION OF THE OCEAN MONARCH YACIiET•SHIP BY FIRE. LOSS OF 173 LIVES. (From the Liverpool Mercury of yesterday.) It is our painful duty to lay before our readers the particulars, so far as we have been able to ascertain them, of one of the most melancholy casualties which ever occurred within the limits of the port of Liverpool. The splendid American ship Ocean Monarch, of 1,300 tons burden, belonging to Train's line of Boston packets, which left the Mersey early yesterday morning, in splen did trim, with about 360 persons on board, including the crew and emigrants, is now a floating hulk, burnt to the water's edge, and, it is melancholy to add, that, as near as can be calculated, about 100 of the passengers, who, but a few hours before, were buoyed up by bright anti cipations of the future, have met with a watery grave. Children have been snatched from their parents, wives from their husbands, and husbands from their wives. In a few minutes the tenderest ties were severed for ever, end gloom, desolation, and despair filled many a breast. As we have before stated, the Ocean Monarch left this port yesterday morning at an early hour, the tide flowing about seven o'clock. As she passed through the channel, her progress was reported by the telegraph, but at length the sad news arrived that she was in flames. When the announcement was made in the Exchange News-room, great consternation prevailed, it being well known that she had a large number of passengers on board. Great was the anxiety to learn any tidings whatever of the vessel, but it was not till the arrival, about half-past five, of the Queen of the Ocean yacht, belonging to Thos. Littledale, Esq., of this town, that the extent of the calamity was known. Mr. Littledale, who is the commodore of the Royal Mersey Yacht _Club, had been at Bgaumaris regatta, which took place on Monday last, and' she was return ing in his yacht to Liverpool with a party of friends. About twelve o'clock, when near the Great Orrashead, they observed the Ocean Monarch about five or six miles to the eastward of the Ormshead, in Abergele Bay, between the Ormshead and Abergele. Mr. Little dale and his friends were admiring the beauty of the splendid ship as she was pursuing her course to the, Atlantic. On a sudden the Ocean Monarch was ob• served to put up her helm as if returning to Liver pool. A flag of distress was immediately hoisted, and in a few seconds flames were observed to burst out, abaft. The ship was lying right in the course of the yacht, and Mr. Littledale immediately bore away for her. On nearing her, although there was a stiff breeze blowing, with a heavy swell, the boat of the yacht was lowered, and proceeded to the ship for the purpose of rendering what assistance ske cou ld. Of course, with the swell on, it would have been next to certain destruction to the yacht had she been run along side the ship, but the exertions of Mr. Littledale were of the noblest description, and he has the satisfaction of knowing that he has been the means of rescuing thirty two persons from a watery grave. The scene which presented itself to Mr. Littledale on nearing the vessel was of the most appalling and harrow ing description. That gentleman truly describes it as awful, and such as he hopes never to witness again. The flames were bursting with immense fury from the stern and centre of the vessel. So great was the heat in these parts that the pas sengers, male and female, men, women, and children crowded to the fore part of the vessel. Their piercing heartrending shrieks for aid were carried by the breeze across the blue waters. In their maddened despair women jumped overboard with their offspring in their arms, and sunk to rise no more. Men followed their wives in frenzy and were lost. Groups of men, women, and children also precipitated themselves into the water, in the vain hope of self preservation, but the waters closed over many of them for ever. No pen can describe this awful scene. The flames continued to rage with increased fury. In a few minutes the wizen mast went over board—a few minutes more, and the main mast shared the same fate. There yet remained the fore mast. As the fire was making its way to the fore part of the vessel, the passengers and crew, of course, crowded still further forward. To the jib boom they clung in clusters as thick as they could pack—even one lying over another. At length the fore mast went overboard, snapping the fastenings of the jibboom, which, with its load of human beings, dropped into the water, amidst the most heartrending screams, both of those on board and those who were falling into the water. Some of the poor creatures were enabled again to reach the vessel, others floated away on spars, but many met with a watery grave. It appears that the fire broke out about twele o'clock. Captain Murdock received the first intimation from the steward, who came to him and said there was a great deal of heat coming up the ventilator. He added (what afterwards proved to be the fact) that he bellowed one of the passengers had made a fire in a wooden ventilator on the third deck, which ran through the captain's state room. The man had mistaken the ventilator for a chimney. The captain immediately gave orders for the extin guishing of the fire, but it was, alas I too late. The flames had begun to spread. Those who have seen the fittings up of the passengers' berths of an emi grant ship, are aware that they are of thin deals and spars, easily ignited, and fire having once gained the mastery, there is little chance of extinguishing it. The captain attempted to put the ship up to the wind, so as to keep, if possible, the fire abaft, but he found he could not accomplish this, and he imme mediately let go the two anchors. From the great consternation in which all the passengers were, of course, all control over them was gone. They ran about as long as they could, in all directions, and some of the scenes which followed have already been described. The captain threw overboard to the poor fellows in the water, all the moveable spars, &c., he could find, and afterwards flung a spar into the water and followed it. Several persons followed him, and seized hold of the same spar. He entreated some of them to let go, or all would perish, and he showed them the example by swimming to a plank, by which he was enabled to sustain himself for about twenty minutes in the water, when he was picked up by the yacht. In about an hour and a half after the yacht reached the vessel, the Brazilian steam-frigate Affonso, which was out, we believe, on a trial trip, came up. She anchored immediately to windward, and close to the burning vessel. She got a rope made fast to the Ocean Monarch , and b y the use of the said rope, her boats were enable d to g o backwards and forwards to the burning vessel with great facility, and by this means a large number of persons were saved. The Prince of Wales steamer, which was on her passage hence to Bangor, came up shortly after wards, and with the New World packet-ship , bound f or New York, sent boats to the rescue of the passengers, and were the means of saving a large number. The Queen of the Ocean remained alongsi de till three o'clock. At that time the vessel was burnt n ear to the water's edge, and there were only a few of the passengers take them off. The following are the names of the per on board, several boats being alongside endeayouring to sons rescued by the Queen of the Ocean:- - I Seamen—Captain Murdock, William James Moore, carpenter ; George Vane, William Blodget, Jonathan Sweet, Richard Brannon, John M'Loughlin , Christian Christian, Thomas Hiler, Christopher J. Aust in, Adam Stockwell, Charles Nason, John Keeler, W. H. Pratt, Jones, Charles D. Locke, William R. Neland , Isaac Samuel Moray, Henry Colver, and Henry Jones. Passengers—Whiston H. Bristow, London ; Patrick M'Manas, John Horridge, Patrick Oregan, Patrick M'llahon, Patrick Griffin, John Kelly, Dennis Coch rane, Peter Smith, Anna Roper, Bilston, Birmingham ; Mary Maguire, county Cavan ; Mary Carey, 'Merles. Amongst the latter was one poor woman, who, with her three children, was proceeding to America to join her husband. She was in a state of great distress at the tate of her poor children, who were all lost. On reaching the Mersey, Mr. Littledale immediately communicated with Mr. Dowling, and arrangem en t s were made for accommodating those who were frie ndles s and pennyless at the Workhouse for the night. They were, got int o th e We understand that as soon as th e ; alarm was !given, the two boats belonging to the sh i p we re lowered. The mate, with some of the crew and p as sengers, got into other,one . A a p d o t r h t i v o y n s ofe toff the crew fo r how ever, picked up by a smack. Had they made to Mr. Lit tledale's yacht, placed their living freight on board of her, and returned again to the ves sel, the loss of lif e would probably have been much less. The stewardess lost her life in cou ra geously attempt ing to get the powder out of the cabi n. There were Liverpool. and passengers about twenty-five pounds weight on board, and when she went below to get it, it is supposed she was suffo cated. The powder exploded with a report like that of a cannon, but not being confined, and there being no per son at that part of the vessel, no damage, it is supposed, was done by the explosion. At the time orders were given to let go the anchors, a number of women and children were seated in some way near the cable, and were drawn by it into the water. Sixteen persons arrived last eight at Seacombe, having been picked up by a fishing boat. Messrs. Parry, of the hotel, treated them in a very hospitable manner. They crossed to Liverpool by the eight o'clock boat. Mr. Baker, the celebrated comedian, was on board, and a collection was made amongst the passengers for the relief of the poor sufferers, who had lost their all, and 2/. 45., or ''s. 9d. for each of the sixteen, were col lected and divided amongst them. Amongst these were six seamen. One poor Irishman and his sister were also amongst the number. The sister was rescued by the brother seizing her by the hair of the head just as she was sinking. When they landed at the pierhead, some of their mess mates, who had arrived in the yacht, greeted the new comers in the most tender terms. and the meeting of these hardy sons of Neptune, after their " hair-breadth 'scape," is described as one of the most affecting. The men actually hugged each in a rough, but honest em brace, and tears were drawn from many of the spec tators who witnessed the touching scene. The men in• quired eagerly after others of their comrades, and tears, both of joy and sorrow, ran down their cheeks. The Brazilian frigate Affonso was out on a pleasure excursion. She was commanded by the Marquis &Lisboa. There was also on board the Prince de Joinville, his lady, and suite, the Duke and Duchess d'Auwale, the Bra zilian Minister, the Chevalier de Lisboa, Admiral Gren fell and daughters, and other distinguished individuals. When the' Affonso discovered the Ocean Monarch, no time was lost in bearing down to her, and it was intended LOT 1 All that valuable FREEHOLD ESTATE called PAL LION, in the immediate vicinity of the town and borough of Sunderland, consist ing of an elegant and superior Mansion House, known by the name of eallion Hall, delightfully situated on the banks of the River Wear, in the midst of gardens and pleasure-grounds.

TWO PEWS in the body of Bishopwearmouth Church, occupied by the servants of William Bell, Esq:, and Mr. John Harper. The Auctioneer considers it hardly necessary to draw the atten tion of the public to the importance of the several properties com prised in the above Lots. The Ford Estate is peculiarly valuable. It is capable of great im provement, and from its situation in the immediate vicinity of a large and manufacturing town, rapidly increasing in size and popu lation, with good roads on all sides, its elegibility for building pur poses of every description, with the present advantage of a commu nication with the River Wear, and the immediate prospect of a public railway pas=ing through the estate (the Act for which has already been obtained), its value must daily increase. The coal is now well ascertained, and from its contiguity to the place of shipment and to the present and intended sinkings in the neighbourhood, it must be very shortly worked, and, consequently a purchaser may rely upon a large and speedy return for his capital. The tenants of the Farms will show the estate, and the Mansion house may be viewed by leave of William Bell, Esq., by ticket, to be obtained from Mr. J. S. Robinson, solicitor, Sunderland ; and the Bottle-houses and property connected therewith may also be seen on application at the office of the Sunderland Glass Company ; and plans of the various properties, with further particulars, may be sera at the offices of Messrs.

A K it 1 A Gr E. 1 One half the wend are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un- Ausaprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, cud broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social content. The dowry shoul.l net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS ' On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. tech (by Dost, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, sir prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy misinterpretatior , of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are nut intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but 'or the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other title publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and .void," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely damphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's lie, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob fervanee of the maxims he would inculcate--to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always 01 the " sunny side of the way."

IRELAND. THE STATE TRIALS FOR HIGH TREASON. DUBLIN, THURSDAY EVENING.—No day has yet been fixed for the Special Commission in Tipperary ; but the briefs for the Crown counsel who are to conduct the prosecutions against Messrs. Smith O'Brien, Meagher, and the other per sons charged with high treason are nearly completed. It has been stated that Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., has returned the retainer received from Mr. Smith O'Brien, on the ground that he could not, consistently with his position as one of the Crown counsel in the prosecutions against Martin and O'Do herty, undertake the defence of Smith O'Brien. We have reason to believe that there is no foundation for this state ment,priastonmerna J t a t n h a e th S a p n echa e l n C n o , mm Q. i e ss . ion. It has also been stated and that Mr. Whit es id e w i ll appear as counsel for the th , has been retained by Mr. Smith O'Brien ; but that Learned Gentleman has not, like Mr. Whiteside, obtained his license, and it appears that some difficulty has arisen on the point. The Crown claims the services of Mr. Henn as a Queen's counsel, and the matter vet remains undecided. Mr. Henn, it is said, is connected by relationship with the family of Mr. Smith O'Brien. The Special Commission cannot commence so soon as has been stated. The counsel for the prisoners are to receive an Official intimation on the subject a fortnight before the day fixed for the opening of the Commission. With regard to the separate Commission for Dublin, at which Mr. Duffy is to be tried for high treason, no further step has yet been taken.

Some hundreds of vehicles drove up at a n earl y hour, and t here could not have been less than 2, 000 perso ns, all of the m ost respectable appearance, present. There was a degree of anxiety, such as was scarcely ever witnessed .at a public sale, manifested to possess some relic of Mr. Duffy. When the greenhouse property had been disposed of, the parlour furniture was set of s up. The utmost interest was manifested when some or seven portraits ( ca bi ne t size) of the writers the Nation were held up for competition. These consisted of John O'Connell, Banim, M'Manus, Barry, Heylett, and the late Thomas APNevin. There were several other por traits, all of which sold at enormously high prices, as they were portable. Some French engravings and pictures also brought double their ori g inal value. The wines (principally port and sherry) went off at high figures. Mrs. Duffy's harp sold for 261. Mr. Duffy's costume, as T.

The bronze and bisque ornaments sold at four times their cost. The pictures of " Reading the Nation" and " Seizing for Rent" sold for 15/., and every other article went off at equally high prices. The furniture used by the state pri soners, when confined in Richmond Bridewell, will be set up this day, as the auction had to be adjourned in consequence of the immense crowd collected yesterday. On Wednesday evening a coroner's Inquest was held by Mr. M‘Carthy, on the remains of Mrs. Peck, authoress of " Eman ac Knuck," and other works, at her residence, Booterstown, from the proceedings of which it appeared that Mrs. Peck had been for some time in a very distressed state of mind, arising from the pressure of circumstances con nected with property, and although watched with great kindness by the lady in whose house she resided, during her absence on Tuesday morning, she swallowed the contents of an ounce phial of prussic acid, which must have been for some time in her possession, and died almost immediately from the effects of the dose. The deceased was considerably advanced in life, and had met with trials and great reverses. The verdict of the jury was " Temporary insanity."

DEATH OP DOCTOR CAMPBELL OP THE IST LIFE GUARDS.—We regret to say we have received intelligence from Scotland of the death of the above gentleman, which took place a few days since, after a short illness, at Otter House, Argyleshire. Doctor Campbell was most highly es teemed and beloved by his brother officers, and his loss will be felt by a numerous circle of friends. It was our painful duty some few months back to announce to our readers the very sudden death of another officer of this regiment, viz., that of Captain Sir Charles Kent. Doctor Campbell had served in the Ist Life Guards as assistant-surgeon and sur geon since the year 1835. S N 7 AUGUST 26, 1848. to anchor right ander her bow, but the wind changed a little, and prevented this from being accomplished. Four boats were, however, at once lowered, and were soon fol lowed by the large paddle box boat. The Marquis de Lis boa jumped into one, and Admiral Grenfell into the other, and were untiring in their exertions to save the poor people. The Prince de Joinville stripped his coat, and was particularly assiduous in assisting the passen gers on board the frigate. The heat was very intense, and even to those on board the boats alongside was very oppressive. What it must have been to those who were crowding on the poop and bowsprit of the vessel, none can tell but those who experienced it. It was sufficient, however, to make them jump into the water, seek ing succour from one element, by taking shelter in another equally as destructive, but far less agonizing in its effect. From the crowd of human beings in the water clinging to the spars, &c., the boats were unable to get as close to the vessel as they otherwise would have done, and, of course, considerable time was un avoidably consumed in rescuing the poor unfortunate s. Several pounds were collected on board the yacht for the relief of the sufferers, and on arrival here it was dis tributed to the poor people by Mr. J. A. Tobin, who was on board the yacht. Ann Roper has been sent to the Northern Hospi tal. Mr. and Mrs. Dow, of Glasgow, two cabin pas sengers, are amongst the parties who wero saved. The Affonso rescued in all about 160 persons, in cluding thirteen seamen. Of these, about 140 anded, and the remainder preferred staying on board the fri gate all night, the Marquis de Lisboa having given directions that all who were desirous of remaining should be accommodated in the best way possible. The dead body of a child is on board the frigate. One poor woman was on the landing-stage bemoaning the loss of her two children, and we have heard that a boy and girl, unclairues, are still on board the frigate. A unavailing efforl, was made by some of the crew and passengers to subdue the flames, immediately after they were discovered, by means of buckets of water. Finding their efforts in vain they gave up in despair, and the horrible ory " Fire, fire," was uttered by al most every voice. Some of the psosengers state that the fire originated by the fall of a candle against some spirits, but the cause is generally ascribed to the fire in the ventilator. A noble fellow, a foreigner, whose name we could not ascertain, went to the wreck when there was little hope of saving any more, and stuck to the hull of the vessel till every soul had left her. It is said this praiseworthy individual, by his own hand, lowered 100 persons to the boats below. The telegraph reported last night, at seven o'clock, that the vessel being burnt to the water's edge, had sunk. When the Affonso arrived in the river she an chored in the Sloyne, and the distinguished company landed at the new stage in one of the ferry steamers. The passengers who were saved were transferred to the President steamer, and landed at the north cad of the Prince's Pierhead, doubtless with the view of being near to the Northern Hospital, whither those who were burned and otherwise injured were con veyed. Mr. Dowling, with the district superinten dent and a body of the police, attended, with the view of providing lodgings for some for the night. On landing they presented a sad and pitiable spectacle. Many of the men and women were almost in a state of nudity. Some of them had their heads bandaged, and some their arms, legs, and other parts of their bodies bound up, having been injured by their contact with spars, in the water, by knocking against the boats, and in other ways. The particulars above given are necessarily hastily prepared, but they have been obtained from authentic sources, and there is no doubt they are substantially correct. The greatest sympathy was expressed for the poor people, and every exertion was made to mitigate their sufferings as much as possible. The exertions of Mr. Littledale and those on board the yacht are spoken of in the highest terms, and those of the distinguished party on board the Affonso, especially those of Captain Grenfell, the Marquis de Lisboa, and the Prince de Joinville, are beyond all praise. The re ward of all those who exerted themselves in so praise worthy a manner must be in the inward satisfaction of having done the best they could to save the lives of their fellow-creatures under the most distressing circum stances. It will be seen by the account above that about 208 passengers have been accounted for, 32 by the yacht, 160 by the Affonso, and 16 by the fishing boat. One man was also brought by the Taliesin, Rhyl steamer, making in all 209. If the number stated to be on board, 360, be correct, 151 remains to be accounted for. We should think, however, that the Prince of Wales steamer, which was on her way to Bangor, must have rescued some, and taken them on with her. There is every reason to fear, therefore, that the number lost will be about a hundred. The following persons are in the Northern Hospital:— Anna Roper (besides other injures), contused leg, very badly bruised, and child. This woman took her child in her arms, seized hold of a rope, and jumped overboard from the vessel. She held on by the rope till the boat came to her rescue. Michael Gleeson,in addition to other injuries, very severe laceration of the hand. His brother, unin. jured, is also in the hospital. Margaret Kershaw with her child.: She was nearly drowned, and is suffering from immersion in the water. Several persons were taken to the Birkenhead Hospital. Michael Gleeson states that there were several per sons on board the Affonso with their arms and legs fractured, besides being otherwise injured. A steamer came to the side and took three surgeons on board the Affonso, to attend to those cases which could not be re moved. One poor man received a compound fracture of the leg. The following detailed particulars are from Wilmer and Smith's European Times of this day : We have waited upon Captain Murdoch, and from him we glean the following : " OFFICIAL STATEMENT. "The Ocean Monarch, 1,300 tons burden, left the Mersey , ear ly on Thursday, with about 393 souls on board, in cluding the crew and passengers. We discharged the pilot about eight o'cloak. No incident worthy of note occurred until we arrived off the Ormshead, at which - time it was nearly immediately deck,w as a nd actually stated sent on the that ihr ae.t stew ard thete then cabinn and hurrieda w n o a t s h b e af r m an kl twelve o'clock. Orders were given to tack ship; and while hauling the main-yard it was stated that one of the steerage passengers bad made a fire in one of the ventilators without reflection. gt heras t came ah me e ship nI to extinguish the fire, and bring up the delinquent who had made it. Immediately after this one of the cabin passen smoke, which was coming from below. On hearing this I ran down to ascertain the position of affairs, and found ano to f the deck and :gave orders to have water poured upon it, and directed that the ship should be kept before the wind in order to lessen the draft, but the flames, with a rush almost as instantaneous as lightning, burst forth, and in less than five minutes the whole stern of the ship was completely en veloped in the fiery element. I then gave orders ,to have the ship brought to the wind. All was now a scene of the utmost confusion, noise, and disorder. My orders could not be heard. Despair had seized almost every soul on board. The scene which presented itself was most awful to contem plate, much less to look upon. " The flames were bursting with immense fury from the stern and centre of the vessel. So great was the heat in these parts, that the passengers, male and female, men, women, and children, crowded to the forepart of the vessel. In their maddened despair women jumped overboard with their offspring in their arms, and sunk to rise no more. Men followed their wives in frenzy, and were lost. Groups of men, women, and children also precipitated them selves into the water, in the vain hope of self-preserva tion, but the waters closed over many of them for ever, and fearfully realised the inspired declaration, that " in the midst of life we are in death." In vain did I entreat and beg of the passengers to be composed. I pointed out to them that there were several vessels around us, and that if they preserved order they would all be saved ; that although the case was desperate, it was not hopeless. It was of no avail. Howls of lamentation and cries for help were the only answers which I could obtain to my entreaties. Finding that every effort which I made was unavailing, and that nothing could be done to avoid the total destruction of the ship, in consequence of my orders not being heard, I directed that the anchors should be let go, so as to allow the ship to get her head to the wind, and thus, if possible, confine the flames to the stern. In a few minutes the mizen mast went overboard—a few minutes more, and the mainmast shared the same tate. There yet re mained the foremast. As the fire was making its way to the fore part of the vessel, the passengers and erew, of course, crowded still further forward. To the jibboom they clung in clusters as thick as they could pack, even one lying over another. At length the foremast went overboard, snapping the fastenings of the jibboom, which, with its load of human beings, dropped into the water amidst the most heart-rending screams, both of those on board and those who were falling into the water. Some of the poor crea tures were enabled again to reach the vessel, others floated away on spars, but many met with a watery grave. " Meantime, I gave orders to get the ship's boat afloat. Two were got overboard, and while in the act of getting the others ready, and cutting away the lashings, the fire reached them, and they were immediately enveloped in flames. On seeing this the passengers became more unmanageable than ever. It was a painful moment. The shrieks of terror and alarm baffle all description. Maddened by despair, and in the vain hope of being rescued they knew not how, numbers again jumped overboard. Seeing my sad plight, and the awful sacrifice of life which was going on, despite of every effort which I made, I gave direction to throw every move able article overboard, so that those who had left the ship might cling by them until help arrived. " The Queen of the Ocean yacht was the first to come to our assistance. Her owner, Mr. Thomas Littledale, with whom were Sir Thomas Hesketh, Mr. Tobin, Mr. Palk, and Mr. Aufrere, ordered the boat to be lowered, and proceeded with alacrity and zeal, aided by the gentlemen named and the crew of his craft, to pick up all within their reach. I may just here observe that the last thing which I did was to throw over a topgallant yard, made fast with a rope to keep it alongside. The carpenter, and one or two of the men assisted me to do this, and I then told those who could hear me to jump overboard, and cling to the spar. A good many obeyed my directions. At this time I was sur rounded on all sides, both fore and aft, by the flames, and seeing no possible chance of escape if I remained for a mo ment longer, I followed the spar I had sent overbo ard. _ Several seized hold of the same spar. I entreated some e them to let go, or all would perish, and showed th em the _t o• ex ample by swimming to a plank, by which I was enab led sustain myself for about half-an-hour in the water, when I was picked up by the Queen of the Ocean. of Wales "The Brazilian steam-frigate Affonso, the Prince New coasting-steamer, and the New York packet-s hip ' World, after some time, came up and rendered effective ' service. , " The Queen o f the Ocean remained - alongside till three o'clock. At that time the vessel was burnt near to the water's , edge, and there were only a few of the passengers on board, several boats being alongside endeavouring to take them off. " Finding that the yacht could do no more, Mr. Little dale ordered her to start for Liverpool, where we arrived about seven o'clock in the evening. " Although I did not see the part taken by the officers and distinguished party on board the Brazilian frigate, yet I am bound to return them my grateful thanks for the very laudable and successful efforts in rescuing the lives of so many human beings from a watery grave, or the still more fearful death by fire. Of Mr. Littledale, and his company and crew, I know not how to speak ; their conduct is beyond all praise. May he in whose hands are the issues of life and death grant them in another and a better world the full reward which such philanthropy and benevolent conduct eminently deserve. "Of the origin of the fire I cannot at present say. My mind has not yet been so fully composed as to enable me to investigate with accuracy the probability of the ♦arious con jectures which are afloat. At present lam inclined to say that it arose from some of the passengers smoking in the steerage, contrary to orders. " The Ocean Monarch had a very valuable cargo, the freight of which, together with the passage-money, amounted to about 2,6001. " JAMES MURDOCH, " Commander of the Ocean Monarch." (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) From one of the cabin passengers, who had himself a very narrow escape of life, and who remained on board the ill fated vessel till the last, we learn the following particulars The ship left the Mersey at three A.M. on the morning of file 24th, and had the assistance of a tug-boat until twenty or twenty-five miles out at sea. Shortly after she left, and at about eight o'clock, a part of the crew, under direction of the steward, commenced to remove the stores, consisting of spirits, wines, &c., which had been under Custom house seals, into the store-room. This operation occu pied a considerable time, and during it a light was called for by those assisting, and, it is believed, was taken down. Soon after nine o'clock the cabin passengers assembled to break fast, and some twe hours atter which the narrator, who was at the time• lying on one of the sofas, perceived a strong smell of smoke and fire. and on more minute examination, found that it proceeded from the scuttle, down which the stores had been conveyed, and which is under a part of the first-class passengers' cabin. The steward and captain were instantly informed, and an alarm given. The smoke increased most rapidly, and soon filled the cabin with its density. The scuttle was pulled off, and some buckets of water were thrown down, but without effect. In twenty minutes from its being first perceived, the fire in that part of the ship had gained so much head that it was impossible to remain below, and the narrator, who went to his state room to procure a valuable part of his luggage, was almost overpowered in the attempt, and was only saved from suffo cation by being drawn on deck through the sky-light. It is worthy of notice, in ascertaining the origin of the fire, that the first alarm arose in the first-class passengers' cabin, and that the active part of the fire proceeded from the scuttle, where the steward and part of the crew had been em employed in stowing away inflammable articles :—and that the steerage passengers were in no way accessory to the acident, and were first informed of it by the cabin pas sengers running on deck. It is the unanimous opinion of the cabin passengers that, from whatever cause the sad calamity happened, the seat of its commencement was cer tainly the store-room. Tlie frantic conduct of the poor emigrant passengers sur passes description. Captain Murdoch did everything in his power to restrain them, and inform them of the best means to take for preservation. The crew appear early to have been influenced by the desire of self preservation, rather than that of assisting their commander in preserving order, and rendering the best assistance they could to their fellow sufferers; the masts were suffered to fall as they consumed— nothing was cut away; and the only seamanlike operation performed-by them, after the extent of the calamity was as certained, was to bring her to anchor. Many of the passen gers rendered praiseworthy assistance to their poor fellow sufferers; and, from half-past eleven till six in the evening, used their utmost endeavours in this laudable object. The ship had on board when she left the Mersey 307 pas sengers in the steerage • six in the first cabin, sixte e n in the second ditto, besides the crew, 47 in number; making, with the captain, a total of 376 souls.
