PoRTpATIticK, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19.—This morn ing, Wednesday, the 19th, I arrived at Portpatrick, the scene of this catastrophe. The town is situated on a bold, rocky coast; the steem-ahip Orion is sunk abet' , 500 a aide to the north of the mouth of the harbour; the top parts of the fore, main, and wizen masts and part of funnel appear above water, that is all that is vilble, and part of the paddle-boxes at lbw water. The rock on - which she struck on Tuesday morning, at one A.M., is but atiw yards from the abore, the Current carried nor off it aboht 300 yards eeawitd, where she sank. A' quarter of 'an bone elapsed from the time she struck till she went down. -Whet: she struck the passengers got into the boats; instead of lowering them down they cut the ropes and the passengers fell into the" water, many of whom were drowned, some saved by the approach of a small boat from Portpatrick. The chief mate informed me he and the captain freidon by the rigging till taken off by' a small, boat.. 'Yestatrday "upwarcht of twenty corpses came ashore, all mea ct w cabin-passengers, lying in' a respectable house tie the care of the superin tendent of police.' The Primtfo rA.3t. ib paay's steamers, called onn eb h m e way to G leap*, atid •=, took %initialer of thw surviving pasaengeri outboard, who were-41000d by the inhabit ,alißoyitils; e m n d e r n o i of the o ants of Portpatrick in the,best manner peasi . ble, many of them having no time te,pdt '.on their clothes. Between 8 and 9 o'clock, A al. the steam-ship Tartar, from Glas. gow, the prorerty of Messrs. - J. and G. Burns, the pro prietors of the Orion, arrived with one of the -Messrs. Burns and several of the relatives Of the deceased: pas sengers, who immediately *hilt and ettatnined the dead bother, and some found their friend s among them.. One of them was the Episcopol - miniater of Paisley, who lost his daughter. - Another gentleinen pointed out to me his brothevin-law, who: lay among th e n u m b e r, who was taking care of his little daughter oa the passage; anewas saved—a finetiookinelittle girl, about 10 years of age. Mr.. Burns, the proprietor, had the melancholy duty to perform of looking - after the remains of his distinguished brother, Professor Burns, of the College of Glasgow, one of 'the deci.ased passengers.. The Tartar steam-ship brought between 20 and 30 coffins. About 12 at noon the Defiance steam-tug arrived from Liverpool. In walking up and down the quay the melancholy spectacle of coffins carried by seamen to the steam-boats; containing the bodies of the drowned persons, presented itself every now and then. I understood it was the: captain's watch on deck when the sad event took place. When he sighted Portpatrick lighthouse he left the vessel in charge of the second mate and went to bed, with orders to be wakened if anything particular needed his presence. I spoke with the second., mate, who .ipform,ed me. ,Portpatrick : was visible enough; and no naiat,,except a dark cloud, he said, which stood over a flagstaff standing on a rock called Cooksmy Craigs, Situated on . the northern entrance of the harbour.: I inquired his reason for standing.so close to shore? his answer was to keep,outof the current; when he saw the rock ahead hp.raa to waken thecaptain, when she struck. An old geotlemata informed me his niece saw the Orion from,her.window, which fronts. the har bour, and wondered' to nee the steamer so close to shore. I had a co,nversation with. one of the seamen, who said he never passed so near the Mall of Galloway light bouse, and inquired of, the second mate, the reason, who answered because of the currents, but who said she was too near. • From.. conver sations I had with several people, I understand the night was not dark and the sea perfeptly calm. The se. were 112 cabin passengers, and between 40 and 50 steer ' age ones ; the supposition is from 60 to 100 persons were drowned. The Procurator-Fiscal of the district is making an investigation into. the case, and more parti- . culars will be learned. , Aseyet no 'attempts have been made to get ont any of the passengers on board; this probably will be done by divers. The next considera tion will.be the cargo and the ship; all expedition will be needed, as she may soon, break up on such a rugged shore. GLASGOW, THURSDAY EMENING.—The Tartar steamer returned this Morpiag.from Portpatrick, bringing, with her the reinainder of ihe Paiseagers who bad been saved, as well as several dead bodies, including thelasf Professor Burns, of Glasgow College, &c. The total number saved amounts to fully -130,but nothing decisive can be said as to the numbers who have perished, for the pas- senger-list, the otdy record, is still in the ship. It is poi- bible, therefore, that many passengers, such as tourists and foreigners, on board, may not be inquired, after for months. The surviving passengers themselves estimate that the number lost cannot be less than 100. Only 23 bodies have been recovered, and it is possible that not many more will be found, for the currents are rapid at .Portpatrick, and might soon carry the remainder out to sea. The relatives t.:f those missing, including a brother of Mr. IW,Neill, .of Coilonsay, are at Portpatrick, anxiously searching for, tho bodies of their friends. Many most harassing incidents have occurred. A .Mr. Splatt, from England, witli . live of a family (principally daughters) took their.passage by the Orion, intending to sail tc-day from the Clyde by the ship Admiral for Australia; but all perished excepting the father, who is left behind lamenting." Mr. Scott, a gentleman who had acquired a competency in Canada, and intended to settle in Scotland, was • on board, with his lady, his daughter, and his sister-in-law. He was- joined at Liverpool by a young relative, Mias Jameson, who was returning from a boarding school to her patents in Glas gow. Mr. Scott and all his immediate party is drowned, but Miss Janaeson has escaped. The bodies rescued have been deposited in an empty tenement in the immediate vicinity of the harbour, and pre'sent one of the •most ghastly and melancholy spec tacles we have ever beheld. The bodies claimed are those of Mrs. Splatt and 'her two daughters, Ann and Mary Ann; Mr. Marchbank, traveller tqilessrs. Clap perton and Co., Glasgow; Mr. Bennet, Chester; Mr. Ingo, Liverpool; Mr. Robby; two children of the name of .Fraser, from New Brighton, Liverpool—one of these was an infant about•l2 months, and the other a child of about three years; Mra-Ross, Glasgow; Alexander Gra ham, the steward; John Pearce, Liverpool; Mrs. M Neill and two daughters; Harriet Mllienzie Peuglae, a daughter of the Rev. Mr. Peughe of the Episcopalian chapel, Paisley; and Dr. Berne. Perhaps we may not be able to give a better descrip tion of this fatal shipwreck than by transcribing the very brief statements which we have elicited from eye witnesses of the calamity. David Armstrong, a fisherman at Portpatrick, states, " That being in , ill heath he could not rest; and on Mon day evening was standing looking out of his window, which overlooks the bay, when he heard the noise of a' steamer approaching.- Wishing to ree her pas s , he was surprised to observe her lights off the south pier, and he concluded that the vessel must be nakiug for the har bour. He was stilt more alarmed at seeing her pass on, as by the course she was steering he feared she would strike on the opposite rocks. He then hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out with all speed, but before he got out of the house he heard the crash 'and the yell that followed the striking of the noble ship. !He rushed into the street; and giving the alarm that a vessel was on the rocks, ran down to the harbour and took his boat from the shore. Mr. Hannoy, the superintendent of public werks, immediately came to him, and sent word of the event to .Captain Hawes, the Admiralty agent, by whose exertions twelve boats were speedily manned, before any commiiiiication was made from the sinking vessel to the shore. He then put to sea and went out to the ves sel.- He managed to pick up the captain and two other gentlemen, who were clinging to the mainmast. He also wished to bring off the mate, but he would hot comedown at first; because be wished to see if any more could pos sibly be saved. He then came ashore, and assisted in picking up and carrying the bodies to proper places, and in endeavouring to resuscitate those in whom signs , of life appeared. The weather .was a little laity, but not sufficiently so to prevent him seeing the steamer pass, nor from seeing the lighthouse on the south pier, and the rocks on the north s i d e of the bay. Coming from the southward, the vessel . might have seen the light house,northw aairtirmh a•. vessel se near the - sh ore f rom t h e ufght-not have seen it.'? : Mr. John Cameron , commercial traveller with Meisrs. John Clappertori and Co., Trongate, says --"I went on board the Orion ' at Liverpool, with M r . W. M arc hb an k , also- of Messrs. Clapperten'a house. It Was a beautiful afternoon, and we spent it pleasantly on board, in com pany with Mr. Archibald, of .Alloa, and Mr. John Hume, wool merchant,.now lost. The steamer was ex cessively croWded with. passengers, a largenumber of them being ladies. Every berth was occupied; as well as the seats and sofas. I walked the deck with Mr. Archibald until, I think, about 1' o'clock in the morning, when I w en t down to my berth on one , of the sofas ie the .saloon. The weather was then fine, and, indeed, it could not be said to be dark during the whole night. , I cannot, say that I saw'the land before retiring, but we wereconvers ing together and not looking, out for it. I threw off only my coat and boots and laid' down on the. cushion, amongst the others, and immediately above the sofa on which Mr. Marchbank was asleep. 'I think about 20 minutes after I went down, and. before' I had fallen asleep, I felt the vessel ' grate' along , her aide or bottom as it she was being ripped up with a saw, and at the same time the engines stopped. I laid a minute or 'so wondering" what thia . .could mean, as I had no notion that the O r i on was to stop till she came to G reenoc k. A number of gentlemen who had heen sleeping around put up their., heads on feeling the shock, an d a f ew o f them sprang f ro m their berths and ran u p on d ec k in their shirts. Up to this time there wa s no intima tionwrrong. I siren n thn also got up, pulled on my b oo t s , an d at from e the the same tim e. awo ke Mr. Marchbank—telling him to get up, as I was afraid there was somethin g wrong . deck that there w as any thi n g gurrying on my coat and, great-coat, I went on deck, leaving Mr. Marchbank in the act of rising to follow me,' as I understood.. On going . up the stair I met the pas sengers,running down again, but I passed on without re- mark. There was confuiicn on deck at this time, and a number of , people gathered on the side next the land,. which was distinctly seen from , the ship, and I heardnome one. cry,..f Lewer _the heats; she is. sinking From the numbers gathered on thisi slide .of the ship I was afraid that any boat that might be lowered there N 9 JUNE . 22, 1850. would be'swamped, and I accordinglywent to the lar board or left'side.' There were a few , people round the boat on this side, who I think were mostly, firemen and engineers, with one seaman belonging to the Orion, who was crying for 'assistance to lower the 'boat. ' I said I would lower it on one side if he would lower on the other. At this time the bows of the ship were visibly sinking in the water; the after part of the stern was canting up, and the sparks from before the funnel were rushing up like frum a house on fire. We lowered the boat until she was flush with the bulwarks of the ship, when a considerable number—l think about a dozen men—scrambled into her. I. then leapt in myself, still holding the rope and lowering way ut the same time. W hen we got down to the water, which was quite smooth, the sailor swung down by the other rope. The boat eas entangled, however, with something like broad belts, which I cut away with my knife, and then she floated clear of the' ship. We had ❑o oars, however, but when we, called out for them a pair was thrown down to us by a passenger, who I think was Mr. Kidston, of Stirling. We then discovered that the boat was making water rapidly, as the plug had n'ot been put in; but a sailor, who was a passenger from Liverpool, got a handkerchief and partially stopped the hole with it. We then moved round the Stern, towards the Lighthouse-pier, which was not tar distant, and in doing so we saw that the other stern- boat had swamped, and that several people were floating in the water.. Some of our people propoied, to take them in, but others objected, saying, They would drown us also, and that our boat would be back immediately and render assist ance.' There were fourteen, I think, in our boat. _ I sat at the stern, holding the-hatdkerchief in the plug-hole the.greater part of the way, but I don't know who rowed or had charge of the boat. When we were about half way I saw the steamer make a lurch and settle down, disappearing all but a part of the funnel and , the masts; and at this time the most heartrending screams pro deeded from her, both from male and female voices. We landed, ' and the two sailors immediately went back to render help. When we reached the pier the boats be _ _ lotigiog to the inhiibitan4 of Portpatiick were pushing Fast out to the wreck. I stood at the bottom of thestairs leading to . the pier -head, and handed up all the passengers who were landed at this point. They consisted of both men and women, andalmost all in a most deplorable con dition. Mike of Collonsay, a fine young lady of , nineteen years of age, was one of them. She walked up . the pier stairs 'unaided, but I leatnt that she died im mediately after. Many of these rescued passengers, 'especially the ladies, who were conscious, were in a state of dreadful agony regarding the fate of their rela tions, some *of whom were saved by other boats, and others perished. was engaged in this way till they began to land the passengers at another spot nearer the „houses. went there and remained till the captain, who was the last, cameout, and I helped him to laud. He had nothing on but hitsahirf and tiousers,- and I stripped atnilent him my greatemat. I never taw my .friend, 4r. Marcbbank, again in life, but his.body was brought ashore at eight o'clock. He had remained to .dress him self, not having on'his Clothes, and I suspect that this delay wes the cause orhisenet being ableineicape. My con viction is many may have been drowned , in their berths, as she went down so rapidly, and th e. danger, was so great, that. all Who reached the deck may have been taken Op in the effort to save themselees; without giving notice to those who might be below,. 'Die number of passengers was very great, and I heard tire captain say during the morning, that there were 170 cabin pas sengeri; and 50;inthe steerage. 'The humane conduet of the inhahitantroftPortpatriek was beyond all praise. I left with the Princesalloyal for Glasgow at four . o'clock Wednesday morning." . Mr. William Anderson,one of the survivors, who reached Gldsgow . by the rineiss Royal;states:— " The-Orion was advertised to sail at three o'clock on Monday from Liverpool, and cleared ont of the Clarence Dock at four o'clock with a full complement of cabin passengers (110 berths), and a number to whoni -berths Could not be assigned. It was computed •by those 'on board that, there might be in addition' from 60 to 70 steerage passengers. The_afternoon was delightful, the sea 'Smooth; and every one On - board enjoyed the highest flow of ,spirits. Up to eleven o'clock the night was spent in the, most agreeable- and cheerful manner by all, -at which hour the greater number in the, cabin retired to rest. Abont a quarter past one in - the' morning, when everything was serene and apparently prosperous, the vessel struek-violently on a rock about 300 yards'north of rortpetrick lighthouse, and 150 yards from the shore. To thefew who happened to be on deck the shock seemed to . .be serious and alarming, but it failed to Waken a considerable number below, who had-to be ;aroused to a sense ,of their danger by their •less drowsy companions. The engine almost instantaneously ' ceased to work, and within a - minute or two water reached the engine fires, and was in the act of extin gbishitig them, when a gentleman connected with a rail way line urged the propriety of instantly blowing off the steam, for the purpose of preventing the bursting of the boilers and the blowing up of the vessel, which was forth- With complied with, and such a catastrophe averted. The danger becoming imminent, the engineers, firemen, and part of the crew, lowered one cf the quarter-boats, and - getting into it made for Portpatrick, on reaching which numbers of the inhabitants were aroused, and commenced to launch. their boats for the purpose of haAening to the scene of distress. On this boat leaving, the passengers on board, aroused to a sense of their perilous condition, rushed to the starboard lifeboat, Which was instantly filled to overcrowding, and in the anxiety to get her launched the bow rope was cut, by which they were precipitated into the deep.' The stern rope was thereafter cut, the boat plunged' into the water, keel uppermost, and five or six persons were saved by clinging to her hottom. The captain who had been asleep in- his 'cabin, now came. bn deck, and with the carpenter greatly 'exerted himbelf to undo 'the fastenings of. the ,larboardlifeboat,, which Was no easy.' matter, the fastenings for a time baffling the utmost ex ertions of the carpenter. Thevessel wait now fast Sink- , hag by the bow-with a lurch• to stsrboard,-and by the time the lest mentioned boat watlaunched _the larboard. side of the unfortunate steamer was so 'high out of the . water that the .greaternuiriber of thole who attempted: to get into her dropped' into the sea and musthave been drowned. It sqvould be vain to attempt' depicting the: horror, consternation, and agony of those who now oc cupied the small portion of the quarter. deck still above . Water. To flee to the rigging was-new 'their only hope of escape. Here theY'clung in desperation till the boats from the shore were seen approaching as messengers 'of mercy; and all who bad sufficient strength to maintain their grasp were gradually rescued from their perilous position. - Many Were also saved by- clinging to casks, deck luggage, &c., till picked up by the crews of tthe. boats. Different opinions are entertained .among those saved in this pithiful catastrophe as to the precise time Which elapsed betwixt the striking of the vessel and her finally going down; .but the general impression is that it did not exceed fifteen minutes. The persons who manned the boats 'from Portpatrick exerted themselves in .the: most .efficient and- praiseworthy manner. The exertions of the inhabitants, including the innkeepers, were incessant in ministering to the necessities and corn fbrti of those who Were thus unexpectedly thrown upon their hospitality and' kindness, and such as to impress them with a sense of gratitude which-will -not easily be effaced from their -memory. There' is little doubt that many' of the sufferers will take an early. opportunity of testifying their appreciation of such well-timed and dis interested kindness and attention, which extended not only to the, providing of shelter. and internal comforts fbr the body, but to articles of clothing. It may be stated that the narrator, who was aroused from his slumbers by a fellovrepassenger, eared himself by get ting hold. of a rope 'faetened to one of -the the masts, after having been plunged 'into the sea when the last part of the quarter-deck had sunk under the surfaCe. He was eventually rescued by the boats from the shore, with many others . , who; were clinging on to the mast and rigging." ' We have learnt that the vessel at the time she struck recoiled, and this,' coupled with the fact that the engineer let off the steam, and that there was a flowing tide, ac counts : for her not striking a second - time r The water Was smooth as a lake, and although it is, adMitted by numbers of witnesses, both on board and on shore, that there was a little haze, it is confidently asserted by pas . - sengers who were on deck that they hid remarked and Were surprised at the ; closeness with which the vessel was run to the shore, and that the rocky coast was nlainly'iperceptible. As - the ship approached the rocks the man on the watch gave ordersto statboard her helm, which was immediately done; but the 'iessel was hy that time so near Ithe shore that she got partly round before she came in content with the reet. As soon as it was obs erv ed o n board - that the iessel was going down, everything that-could float, was thrOwn out by the crew. Among the buoyant articles wait A large parcel of- returned spars from the Asia, boxes, trunks, &c. To this eXpedient it'is probable that theaaving of so many is' attributable.
