The Chicago Convention (From the Index.) The steamer which left Boston the 31st ult. and Halifax on the 2d inst., will discharge the bulk of her freight of news upon the telegraphic wires from off the coast of Ireland, on Sunday or Monday next at latest. She will bring us the re sult of four days' sitting of the Democratic Convention which assembled at Chicago on the 29th for the purpose of nominating a candidate for the Presidency of the United States, and enunciating the policy upon which that can didate is, a month later, to appeal to the suffrages of the three million voters of the Northern States. It is pos sible that the sittings of the Convention may have been stormy and its counsels divided—that, therefore, the suspense was not definitively ended when the steamer left the American shore. Military events also may have taken place, of which we are as yet unaware, to influence the action of the Convention. Still we shall learn enough to speculate with tolerable certainty upon the issue of the approaching crisis, and we know enough even now to make such speculations more than mere guesswork. Present indications all point to the nomination of Gen. M'Clellan. Present indications also permit little doubt that whoever may be the nominee of the Democratic Con vention will be the next President of the United States. If there were no other reason for this, it would be found in the almost unanimous feeling among the masses, stronger even than their earnest longing for peace, that any change in the personnel of the Administration must be for the better. So utterly hopeless are Mr Lincoln's chances for re-election, that his own suppartere have set on toot a movement to unite the party upon one candidate by withdrawing both a the competitors ; and one of them, Mr Fremont, has pub- • licly declared his acquiesonce in the arrangement if Mr Lincoln will abide by it in good faith, The Jonah of the sinking ship thus thrown overboard, the fortunes of the Republicans might possibly still be saved ; but the manoeuvre of withdrawing two candidates already in the field, and finding a third acceptable to the adherents of both the others, is too complicated to be feasible within the few weeks which now alone remain before the day of election. We look, therefore, upon the success of the Demo • cratic nominee—always supposing the freedom of the polls from military interference, and barring the improbable con tingency of serious Southern reverses—as being as nearly certain as human things, and especially American things— can ever be. A month ago we should have treated this success as synonymous with peace: to-day we owe it to that candour from which we have never departed, whether the facts were agreeable to our wishes or the reverse, to say that the situation is, though not radically changed, yet essen tially modified. Then the yearning for peace at the North might be translated into the language of reason whispering: " Better be united with an independent South on terms of amity than in a conquered South be chained to a corpse." To-day the yearning is as strong, perhaps stronger, but the evil has found deluded ears to listen to the temptation. " The Union may be restored, if we give the South all else she asks, and we shall obtain by jug gling what we failed to obtain by force." The cause of this relapse is undoubtedly to be sought in the victory off Mobile, which, while to the South it is only a local reverse, may thus turn out to be to the North a great national misfortune. Compared with the madness which ruled until within the last few months, even the present delu sion is relative sanity; but compared with the premising symptoms of recovery which we had the pleasure of chro nicling a short time since, it is a return to madness. As we were the first in the English press to shout the glad tidings of "land, land," it behoves us now, when every one descries the shore, to make certain that it is not merely a mirage, and to caution against the breakers which may still prevent the sadly travailed ship from safely reaching a harbour. O%er-confidence on the part of spec tators who are quietly in port can do but little harm; on the part of those whose lives and fortunes are embarked on the vessel, the slightest error may be rain. Here an illusory view of the prospects of peace will at worst only _ _ and time-servers, and I know you of old. You possess not public virtue enough among you even to have a conviction, either right or wrong. It is such professions as those you now make which delayed separation for 20 years only to make it irremediable at last, and it is your lack of straightforwardness and moral courage which has caused the inevitable event to be accompanied by this hor rible effusion of blood. Yon have fitly selected as your representative a man who says one thing in private and another in public, and who neither in public nor in private dare speak his own mind, if he have one. You who profess to ascribe the failures of Lincoln, not to' Southern valour, but to the incapacity of his chosen generals, proclaim the impersonation of failure, M'Clellan, who when at the head of armies wrote despatches only less lying and bombastic than Pope's—who, with no better fortune than Grant's, cannot claim Grant's boldness nor his power of sustaining the spirits of his men—and who, worst of all, still draws his pay as a general is the army for Southern subjugation. You, who profess to uphold the constitution and the rights of the States, select as your standard bearer the man who first, at Lincoln's bidding, set the constitution at defiance and trampled the rights of a sovereign State under foot— M'Clellan, the pliant tool for the arrest of the Maryland Legislature and the military occupation of that unfortunate State. You may desteive the people of the North, but you cannot deceive the people of the South. The beat Southern blood was not shed to establish a party but to vindicate a nation." When the nominee and the "platform" of the Chicago Convention are known, our readers will be able to judge which of these two courses the DlAt . b. means to pursue, If the first, then in a few PaOnitslitere - illl be a lasting peace between North and South, such a one as will command the respect of European Powers, and deride the cowardly and wicked policy which has obtained a secret hearing in Cabi nets, though its advocates shrink from the infamy of its open avawal. If, on the other hand, the nominee of the Chicago Convention shall be M'Clellan—or whoever may be the nominee, if its ":platform" be simply a string of patriotic commonplaces, borrowed from the Fourth of July orations—then the last hope of salvation for the North as an empire will have been sacrificed to the fetish wor ship of the Union, and there will be no peace. The South will not accept an armistice without its necessary concomitant, the raising of the blockade. It will not go into a convention of the States with a lie on its lips. The war must go on, the South growing stronger, the North weaker. When peace at last shall come, it will no longer be a peace between equals, but a peace extorted at the point of the sword in smouldering Northern cities —a peace made with individual States or groups of States separated from the rest; and instead of two allied Powers taking the place of the extinct Union there will be several, of whioh the South will be the most compact and the strongest.

Every one is acquainted with same pig-headed ungainly, meek, easy-tempered human donkey, who runs errands, ' lends money, amuses children, hangs pictures, sees old maids home, sleeps on the shake-down, goes outside the omnibus in the rain to oblige a lady, and generally does everything ho is asked to do by his sharper and more selfish neighbours. This is pure good nature, but clever people who profit by it call it, in the fulness of their grati tude, stupidity. The meek and mild character always invites contumely and ill-usage. If the horse commands more respect than the donkey, it is not because his character is more amiable, but because he inspires more fear. Thus the world will always have a higher opinion of the ruthless warrior who conquers with sword and flame, than the mild apostle of peace who goes about quietly and unobtrusively seeking to do good. But the donkey has a physical defect—a defect which is never for given either in man or beast. He is little. To be nieek of mind and short of stature is a terrible combination of nuefortues.—AU the Year ,livened. The Tendencies of the Polish Insurrection. At the sitting, on the 29th ult., of the Court which is hearing the great Polish case at Berlin, M. Janecki read the following letter from General Langiewiz:— Sir,—The trial of the Poles at Berlin, in which you take BO distinguished a part in the defence, induces me to declare to you that I am ready to give evidence regarding the ten dencies of the late insurrection. It appears to me that if the defence thinks proper to hear me, the High Court cannot refuse my evidence in a matter in which the prosecution has not recognised me as guilty. It is no secret to the Prussian authorities that for the last few years before the insurrection I resided in Italy, England, and France; that I took part in Garibaldi's campaign in 1860 ; that I was in structor in the military school at Paris and Genoa ; and that I had personal relations with people whom government pro secutors are pleased to call the leaders of the cosmopolitan revolution, for M. Larochejaquelin even accused me of Mazzinistn from the Parliamentary tribune in February, 1863. It is moreover known that the insurrectionary move ment in the palatinate Sandomir, on January 22, 1863, broke out under my personal direction, and that, therefore, I must have had close relations with the chief leaders of the Polish movement even before the insurrection. Further, my open participation in the insurrection after the above date, and ultimately my assumption of the dictatorial authority, allow the inference that I must know the ob jects of the insurrection, at least up to the date of my cap ture by the Austrians (19th March, 1863), and also the arrangements which were made to secure the objects of the insurrection. I am thoroughly acquainted with the military arrangements made by the Central Committee for the in surgent bands which were to be found in all the palatinates of the Congress kingdom. These arrangements not only did not tend to any hostile measures against Prussia, but even did not facilitate the arrival of volunteers from Polish Prussia; for it was intended, after the dispersion of the scattered Russian garrisons, immediately to concentrate all the Polish forces against the Russian armies,which of course could not form on the Prussian frontier ; all the Polish de tachments which were to be formed in the palatinates on the Prussian frontier were accordingly to march immediately eastwards. As regards political instructions, the Central Committee, up_to the creation of the dictatorial authority, most strictly directs its subordinates to avoid everything that might disturb the peace in the Polish territories of Austria and Prussia, and even anything that might cause fear or illwill on the part of the Austrian or Prussian Go vernments towards the insurrection, which was solely directed against the Czar. I need hardly add that the in structions and orders issued during the dictatorship were conceived in the same spirit. If, according to the allege. tions of the prosecution, the National Government in tended to seize on Polish Prussia, why do not I. an insur gent and known leader of that Government sit on the bench of the accused ? So far as I know the Prussian authorities have not demanded any extradition of Austria, although by the treaty published in Austria on the 4th of January, 1834, that power is bound to give up traitors to Prussia on her re quisition. Hitherto I have not been examined as to the objects of the insurrection. On the 29th of April, five weeks atter my imprisonment, I presented a petition to the Prus sian Government, through its ambassador in Vienna, for my expatriation, with the object of settling in Switzerland. The result was a careful inquiry among the military adminis trative, and judicial authorities, and an investigation by the Court Prosecutor at Berlin of the documents of this very trial, with the object of ascertaining whether there was any objection to my expatriation. At length, on the 17th Sept., 1863, the t order for my expatriation was made out and sent me through the Prussian Embassy. Did the National Go vernment, then, only determine to seize Prussian Poland after my imprisonment? Or, rather, did the prosecution only convince itself, after the 17th of last September, that such was the object of the National Government ? I am no lawyer, but the fate of the accused warmly interests me, and I beg you therefore to pardon me if I attribute an undue weight to my evidence, and to my question of the prosecu tion—why it did not include me among the accused. Once more, declaring my readiness to serve the cause of truth and the accused, I am, &c. M. LANG IBAVIZ Josefstadt, August 23, 1861. The Court, however, rejected the proposal " as the Generat must be regarded as a participator in the insurrection, and consequently as being in the same position as the accused." Extraordinary Suicide of a Young Woman. Yesterday forenoon Mr John Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, held an inquiry at tho Black Horse Tavern, Kingsland-road, respecting the death of Ann Holliday, aged 17, who committed suicide under very extraordinary circumstances. Richard Arnold, 6, Duncan-street, London-fields, said .hat about 12 o'clock on Thursday morning he wag on the Haggerstou-bridge, when he saw the deceased on the top of the parapet. A girl named Louisa Francis had a hold of her, and kept her up. Francis called out that she c,uld not bold her longer. Witness ran up and saved her. Two police • men came up at the time, and one of them took her into custody, but the other said, " Oh, let her go ; she is afraid to drown herself." lie let her go, and she went away from the canal. but witness saw her turn up another street. He . followed her, and saw her rushing up the street towards the Queen's-road-bridge. He overtook her, and said, " You are a very foolish young woman." She said, " You do not know all." A crowd gathered, and she asked the way to Cambridge-heath-bridge. After a short time had elapsed, witness saw her getting over a paling next the towing path. Louisa Frailcis caught hold of her dress, but she struck Francis in the face, and saying, " There is no use in your trying to stop me," forced herself clear. Witness jumped the palings, but fell, and deceased plunged into the water.' There was a dog present, and witness sent the animal in, but it was not strong enough to pull her ont. A crowd gathered, and five policemen. The drags did not come for a long time. A gentleman said that he would go in after deceased; but he did not like the job, and he was ten minntes taking off his shirt and trousers. He said that some one in the crowd stole his shirt-pin, and when he went into the water he kept his watch in his hand. He could not swim very well, and he came out again. Coroner—With five policemen standing by, did he think , necessary to carry his watch in his hand ? Witness said that the gentleman was very vexed about his pin being stolen. The police said to him that he could have taken twenty shirts off while he was taking off one; but they did not offer to go in themselves. Ultimately the drags were brought, and deceased was got out, dead. Wit ness could not tell who the policeman was that let the de ceased Out of his custody in the first instance. Deceased appeared to be sober. Louisa Francis, 5, Mildmay-avenue, Ball's-pond, said that deceased lived with her. On the Wednesday night she met Charles Nicholson, with whom she lived. There was a quarrel, he struck her, and she said she would com mit suicide. She was not sober. She tried to commit suicide two years ago. Charles Nicholson, a seller of " canaries," or stained sparrows, about the 'streets, a respectably dressed young man, said that deceased lived with him as his wife He met her on Wednesday in the street, and asked her for the key. She refused it. and threw money and mud in his face. Ile struck her with his open hand, not with his fist, and pushed her down. lie knew she walked the street!, but he gave her money to live upon. She had taken poison once. It was m ivedid she poisoned her c hild, and she was arrested with for it, but it was a mis take. The child died. She l another before she lived with witness. The parents of the deceased said that she lodged three doors from their house in Mildmay-avenue. She never had a child, and she had only been given to loose ways for three or four months. Other evidence, however, was to a very different effect. One witness stated that the deceased, who was a very fine girl, had been " gay" to the knowledge of her parents ever since she was a child. She would not have been 17 until May next. The Coroner remarked upon the extraordinary nature of the case. It was a preposterous act for the police to have let the deceased go free when they had arrested her in ;the ve act of comm itting suicide. The s t a te of profligacy ry disclosed was a disgrace to all concerned. The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased com mitted suicide while in a state of unsound mind from drink and debauchery." The proceedings then terminated. e WORK OF COUNTY COURT JUDGES.--A Neill- , I men t a ry return shows that the Count y Court j ud g es in England arc occupied from 105 to 175 days in the year in disposing of the business before them.

CAPTAIN SEMMES.—Yesterday the following was reuived of, Lloyd's from an agent ntte.elteil to the Salvage A.,,sociation, who had just arrived from Bremer haven :—" Friday, Sept. 9.—A large steamer is reported to have put into Nicudiep on Saturday, with French colours flying, 01..2 pilot. A boat put out, and put one on board. The steamer then came out under Prussian colours, and on reaching Bremerhaven again changed colours and hoisted the Confederate flag. The pilot who took her to Bremer haven believes she still remains there. She steamed 10 knots at half speed, and is reported to be under the com mand of Captain Sotnmes (late of the Alabama), with 300 wen on board, and is pierced for 40 guns. • She is said to have been built at Bordeaux, where there are three similar in the course of building." The agent of Lloyd's Associa tion adds that the above information. was volunteered by the pilot who took her to Bremerhaven. STAMPED..-sd. Railways in the Highlands of Scotland The Highlands and Islands of Scotland are now within 24 hours' distance of London, and there is every prospect that before the close of another year there will be an iron road from the Land's End to John o'Groat's. By the extension of the Aberdeen and Inverness Junctiun an the Inverness and Perth Rlilway from Perth, where they both converge, there is direct communication with Dingwall and Taira, the two,princi pal towns in Rossshire, and it is now proposed to carry forward the coast line on the one hand to Wick, and to make a new line from Dingwall direct on through the western district to the Isle of Skye. The eastern line will bring the great fisheries of the Caithness coast into proximity with all the southern markets, while the western line will open up the whole of the West Highlands, and enable the sheep farmers and graziers to send their stock to London, and intermediate towns. The fisheries of Skye and the West Highland lochs will also be developed by this new means of conveyance. The principal portion of the required capital has already been raised, and chiefly by the landlords through whose property the line will pass. The estimated cost of the railway is under £6OO a mile. All the railways in the north of Scotland are single lines, but well worked, and have hitherto been en tirely free of aceident. Since the opening of the Strathspey line in con nection with the Great Northern of Scotland Rail way, which has its entropot at Aberdeen, ironstone has been discovered on the estate of Arndilly, and the mines are already being worked. A sample of the ore was forwarded to England for analysis, and the results being satisfactory, nearly 500 have been blasted and quarried, with every probability that the mountains around will afford an unlimited supply. Manganete has been found on the Duke of Richmond's property, and is now being worked. On the opposite coast at43rora coals were found many years ago, but for some reason or other it was never mined. Should these mines turn out well, the smelting fur. nace will no doubt soon appear, and there will be a "black country" in the Highlands of Scotland as well as in Staffordshire. The introduction of railways in these parts is likely to bring into general repute the mineral waters of Strathpeffer, in Ross-shire, which are similar to those of Harrogate, and have been long locally used. They are on the property of the Duchess of Sutherland, and at present attended by an average of some 200 people. The duchess has had the place beautified, and the prices of the water are all but nominal, the rental of the wells being all laid out in keeping the grounds in repait. There are mineral baths now fitted up and two hotels, where there is most comfortable accommodation on very reasonable terms. Mineral springs of a similar character have been opened in Ballendalloch, not far from the manganese mines already noticed. In view of these facts it will not be surprising to hear that Highland property is increasing in value. The shootings have greatly advanced in rental, and the sheep farms are on the rise. The population of the Highlands is at present in comfortable circum. stances, and it is to be hoped we have seen the end of that periodical distress which had become chronic, and could never have been relieved by the old sys tem of the cottage and croft, with the squatter un improveable being in his native glen, while the no mads were good for nothing but to go a.fishing in summer and lie at home in idleness in winter. Ad Glasses will benefit by the progress of science in the north, and fixed habits of industry and useful• nese will ultimately become characteristic of the people. hurt a few individuals engaged in speculations ; on the other side of the Atlantic it will be the wreck of a nation's destinies. Our journals goes on the library tables of several hundreds of Northern politicians, both Republican and Democrat, and what we have to say on so momentous a question is narrowly scanned by probably more than ten times that numbsr of Northern eyes. May it please the All-wise, who is the Ruler of North and South alike, that our warning come not too late. The vision of peace is not a mirage. It is the real view of solid land, full of promises of future prosperity, and with ample space for Federals and Confederates. There are two approaches to it ; one, marked out by foolish pride and counselled by political knavery, which leads to Certain destruction; the other, which it requires only common honesty and a patriotic purpose to find with ease and safety. In plain words, and dropping metaphor, the North, the aggressor in this war, and by whom, therefore, the first advance must be made, has two courses open. It may say to the South, " We are still able to prolong this war; we do not even yet abandon all hope of eventual success; but the war was undertaken under a fatal misapprehension of its true conditions, and even success could not now give us what it was undertaken for. While therefore we have still the power to inflict further injury, we recognise our error, and offer you a fair and honourable peace." T• which the South would reply :—" The continent is large enough for us both. Since we must occupy it jointly I for my part will not be a bad neighbour. All our former troubles arose from our being artifically linked to gether by a tie which chafed us both. This broken, there is no cause left why we should not live side by side in mutual peace and harmony. It is true I owe you no favours, but neither do Ito the rest of the world ; and if I have any favours to bestow, they will belong to that Power which first recognises my just rights, based upon the logic of his torical facts and the principles of government for which your father and mine once fought the same battles." There would be dignity and self-respect in such language from the North to the South, and there would be good faith and sin cerity in such a reply from the South, Or the North may address the South somewhat after the fashion that the plotter of a villany slyly pokes his expected accomplice in the ribs—" We, the Democrats, are now in the ascendancy. The Republicans, silly fanatics, were such imbeciles, and got so drunk with the unaccustomed nectar of patronage and office, that the country turned them out in a fit of disgust, and we, ycur old allies, are now the North. Come back to us, and give us votes in the Senate and in the House, for without it they may come in again when the people forget their nausea. There, now, we will hang a few of them, if that pleases you, or at least so frighten the whole lot, that Abe shall cut his jokes in Exeter-hall, and Butler seek the tender mercies of London brewers, and every cheap hotel in all Europe be filled with New England orators and contractors. Have slavery, and any guarantees for it Sou may want. Have your own way in everything. Only do, do come back into the Union."

The whole of the II men rescued on Thursday from Seghill pit after the explosion were more or less injured, and three or four of them were in a somewhat critical state when the last advice came from the pit. The men who are suffering the most are Thomas Hogg, lt,Jbert Wood, Henry Milis, and William Richardson all advanced in life. It (kerns that the pit was worked with the Davy lamp, and the men had the strictest orders not to employ a naked light or smoke in the workings. The place where the explosion took place is known as the " old flat," beyond the Californian way. The men who were in there were killed ; but the 11 men and lads who were subsequently rescued alive were some distance from the scene of the explosion, and are suffering from the effects of " stythe," or choke damp. One of the men rescued states that the ex plosion "knocked him deaf." "The pit putter lad," one of the rescued men, Rutherford states, came back and said "Rutherford, she's fired." We came directly towards the shaft as fast as we could. We got behind the door in the cross cut in the Cali fornian way which leads towards the Burrdon workings. We got behind the door when we met the stythe.' Me and Wedderburn put some small coal and clay in to stop the stythe coming in through the door, and I believed this saved all our lives. About 30 yards off the door we met a little return air which supported us all the time we were in. I did not become insensible until about half past 8 o'clock, nine hours and a half after the ex plosion." The working parties during Thuraday morning laboured with great energy to reach the men ; but some hours elapsed before the ventilation was restored, and it is a perfect miracle that any of the rescued men had retained life under the circumstances in which they were confined in the pit so many hours. Until tolerably well in the forenoon there was no hope that any of them would be brought to bank alive. In a stable in the " Californian way," not far from where the bodies of the dead men were found, 18 ponies were destroyed by the explosion, 'The ponies in a stable nearer the shaft were uninjured. The killed are— Thomas Heaps, hewer, a married man—Henry Whitehouse, hewer, a young man—William Taylor a putter, a young man—Richard Robinson, shifter, a married man—John Hand, shifter, a young man —John Miles, a boy, a timber leader—and George Jackson, a married man, a timber leader. About 400 men were employed at the pit. The foreshaft men go down to work about 2 o'clock in the morn• in, and had they been below when the explosion octinrred the -loss of life would probably have been much greater. A fortnight ago Mr. T. E. Foster and Mr. John Taylor, the well-known mining engineers, inspected the mine, and everything they examined was to their satisfaction, both as regards the ventilation and general arrangement of the workings, and Campbell, the mantel...shifter, and made a minnte inspection of the workings only three hours before the explosion. As is usual on these occasions, there was a large and prompt at tendance of medical men at the colliery as soon as it was known an explosion had occurred,. and the viewers, with the pitm en from the neighbouring collieries, also flocked to be in readiness to proceed to explore the mine in search of the lost men. M r. Carson, the under - viewer , and the other o ffi cials were-very active in making arrangements below for the rescue of the men. A SAi; OCCURRENCE. —Au inquest was held on Monday eveing at the Town-hail, Cardiff, on the body of a boatman named Thomas Evans, 25 years of age, who met his death ui2der the following extracrdinary cir cumstancts :—A little before 12 o'clock on Saturday night deceased was in canversatiot; with a young woman, to whom he would have I, , en married ;.n thr , cour se of a fortnigh., and w I s i tt i ng o n the parapct et" a brid g e that crosgns the canal. It is said that he had been ti. -inking, and his Hum spouse had just previously induced him to leave a tavern. Whilst in the act of kissing and bidding her " Good night," deceased's head suddenly fell back, and hig overposed body fell into the canal, his head striking an abutment of the bridge. Horrified at the eight of the body in the water, the young woman roused the neighbourhood by her screams as she ran round to the landing steps, and resolutely jumped in to rescue her betrothed,' but from the shook she had sustained she was powerless to bring the body ashore. Assistance came, and medical testimony certified that'death had been occasioned by a fractured skull, causing contu sion of the brain, Verdict, " Accidental death.". Gallant Rescue. We have to report the total loss of the bat Jr . De. vereux,, an event which occurred on Monday last off this part of the Irish .coast. The ill-fated ship, Which belonged to London, and which was on a voyage from Quebec to Strangford Lough, had ear perienced very rough weather in crossing the At. hmtic.l She left Quebec on the 16th of July, and on Wednesday last was about 60 miles from Tory Island, on the coast of Donegal. On that day the. gale raged furiously, and a succession of heavy seas washed over the ship, carrying away most of ',er deck load and filling her with water. Fortunately the Devereux was timber-laden and could not s:'.nk, else, no doubt, the vessel would have foundered. Her commander, Captain Perry, did all ho could under the circumstances. The men were kept at the pumps, and everything. was done to ease, tho vessel, but the storm which prevailed rendered i c ) r f e t w h e w d e e r n e k a i t o t , e td in t r a ;ti ti f o sw g e e i t )t cl t e jv a t r ,r ot t . their eff or t s . ; f ru itl ess , an d on F e id ay, w h et\ th e i d n e g r , h t l e i r , e c zn a one of the men overboard. Of course he was stoutly swallowed up. Next day it became impos , , sihle to keep the deck any longer, and the crew, er a portion of them, took to the rigging and went in te the maintop. The captain's wile was in the mai u, top two days. On Saturday the vessel made Te ry island. The captain resolved to run as well as he could for the North Channel and make the neares'e port, and he was off Malin Head on Sunday morr, ing. Here the exhausted crew received some help from some men in a fishing boat, and Captain Perry sent a message ashore for a tug steamer and for some food, as the vessel's supplies were gone. They had no water and scarcely any bread. In the mean• time a pilot from the station at Ennishowen Head had been put on board at some risk, owing to the severe gale that was blowing, and this man took charge of the vessel, bringing her at anchor in Glengad Bay, between Malin Head and thr3 entrance to Lough Foyle. Two anchors were pi it down, and during the whole of Sunday night Va t) captain and his wife, with the crew, as well as, a number of fishermen who had got in a boat w 7 .th provisions, and whom the violence of the gale pre. vented from returning, remained on board, altlnragh the waves wee' washing over the ship every mo ment. Intelligence of the vessel's condition basing reached Moville, two of OTT. Coppin's stenmers started out on Sunday evening in search of het'_ One of them, the Admiral, could see nothing of the water-logged ship and returned to port. The othor steamer, the Lion, was more fortunate, and male the vessel out at anchor in Glengad Bay. The Lion steamed towards her, and reached the De ve reux about 11 on Sunday night, but in the fearful state of the weather no attempt could be made to take her in tow till daylight. The steamer, however, remained as near her as she could during the night, and when the break of day brought light enoug , e prepared to risk the towing of the vessel into the Foyle. It was a task of no small difficulty to get t b.e Devereux in tow at all. Daring the night, it appears, the wind shifted round, so as to blow in upon the land, and had the ship attempted to raise her anch ors in the usual way she would probably have been wrecked on the lee shore. The Devereux had to let slip her chain cables and lose her anchors, while the Lion managed to put a rope aboard and take her in tow. The wind and sea were tremendous, and the ship, totally unmanageable from being full of water, would not steer, but rolled about as helpless as a log. The tow rope soon broke. It was expeditiously re• placed by another, and Capt. Neal M'Laughlin, of, the Lion, gallantly persevered in bringing the veFl sel on, bat in a short time the immense cable snapped again. Nothing could stand against the dead weight of the ship, tossed about by the furious sea without any helm to control her, and some times actually lying at right angles to the steamer's course. All this time the waves were washing over the vessels now and then, and the position of both was one of unmistakable danger. But the danger was yet to be increased. A third cable Laving been stretched to the struggling vessel, the steamer succeeded in bringing her on towards the mouth of the lough, but to enter was impossible. The wind, blew the two vessels right across the edge of th.e dangerous sun Thank known as the Tons, and in Cu, direction of the Antrim coast ; 'and the mouth of the Bann, where a terrible surf beats almost un. teasingly upon the strand, to which the Devereux was now hastening. The beach was not more - ten ; a couple of miles away. Those on board the De. vercux saw that all hope for the vessel was gone. Che belch on which she was about to strike was close at hand, and, utterly worn out, the crew called to the people in the steamer to come and. save them. The rope was cut in the Devereux, so as to cast the Lion loose, but with a sea such as then was running, and with the Tons on one Land, and the Downhill shore on the other, it was no easy matter to take off those in the drifting ship. The steamer came round under the lee—that is, at the side furthest from the wind—of the vessel, and was by this means a little sheltered, while the fishermen in the Devereux got into their own boats which had been towing in their wake, and in et trip or two succeeded in getting cif the captain's wife, the crew, and all the others who were in the ship, including the captain timself. To do this was a work of immense difficulty and of the most imminent danger; but it was happily and heroically accomplished by Captain MiLaughlin and the fishermen. The steamer made for Mom vile, which she reached safely on Mon day afternoon. They watched the Devereux as long as they could see her. Left to herself the drifting ship, which at first had seemed likely to go ashore at Banmouth, took a turn more to the eastward, passed Portrush, and struck on the Skerries. She got on a jutting point, and for two hours those who stood on the shore could see her beating and thumping against the reef, as the seas lifted her up and dashed her down on the bed of rock. The Devereux, it is remarked, must have been a fine ship to have stood so much battering for so long a time. While she was on the Skerries the Portrush lifeboat went out to her, but found. there was no one on board. Eventually the sea beat the wreck off the Skerries, and'drove it in near the White Rocks.—Derry Journal. _ - - WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of the Hon.
