MORELL, Author of "An historical and Critical View of the Speculative Philosophy of Europe in the Nineteenth Century," &c. &c. by a crew of twelve hardy seamen. With incredible labour and exertion the boat was impelled through the waves, and reached the steamer in safety. Here a scene of great confusion and excitement occurred. It was impossible to allow the boat to come close alongside the steamer, or she would infallibly have been dashed to pieces against the ship's quarter, which was swaying fearfully from side to side, giving warning of the fate which soon afterwards befell it ; the only resource for the passengers, therefore, was to spring from the ship's side into the -boat. In doing so many seemed to be severely hurt, many fell short and dropped into the sea ; and though several of them were rescued by the boat's crew, yet it was inevitable that many perished. They succeeded in filling the boat, however, with father more people than was consistent with prudence ; but it is gratifying to add that the boat, with her precious freight, was speedily and safely got ashore. The voyage to land was accomplished much more easily than that to the ship, as the sea was now nearly at high flood, and the current was setting in strong upon the land. The same cause that brought the life-boat so speedily ashore of course impeded her return, which the brave fellows on board showed great alacrity in attempting. It was fruitless, however. For a long time they put forth the most strenuous exertions in contending against the wind and the sea ; but, scarcely had they gained a few yards, in a comparative lull, than a tremendous sea rushing in upon the land would overpower all their exertions, and drive them farther in than they were before. After continuing for a considerable length of time at this fruit less task, it was at length suggested that the boat might be towed out beyond the extreme violence of the surf by the people on the pier, and the boat was brought ac cordingly close below the pier; and a rope being handed up, she was dragged a short way through the surf. But it was soon found that this course was equally futile with the other. The boat was dragged along, indeed, but she was dragged through the billows instead of rising to them; and in a short time it was found that she was fast filling with water. The attempt was, therefore, given up, and we are not aware that a fresh crew was thought of. At all events the life-boat made only one voyage to the ill-fated ship. A still more disastrous event' befell another attempt that was made from the shore. One of the boats used for the purpose of salmon fishing in the districts, and whose flat bottoms and other peculiarities cause them to be considered good sea boats at least, as they can be kept head on to the sea, was lying on the beach at the time. The brother of Captain Howland, his brother-in law, and four other persons, resolved to make an attempt to reach the vessel with this boat, and endeavour to rescue some of the persons on board. For a time all went on well. So long as they kept under the lee of the pier they made way, and actually succeeded in reaching the ship. But there their success ended. When they reached the steamer, and thus became exposed to the full fury of the wind and current, the frail craft was whirled away in an instant, nor could all the exertions of the crew keep her more than a minute near the vessel. During that brief period two individuals leaped from the ship and attempted to get on board. Both fell into the sea—one perished, the other was caught by the boat's crew and got on board, thus pro longing his life, alas ! but a few minutes ; for, in attempting to bring the boat's head round, so that they might pull for land, a heavy wave completely swamped her. She sank immediately, amidst the shrieks of the crowd, who thus saw the horrors of the scene inconceivably increased by the destruction of the brave fellows who had gone to the rescue of the others. Of the seven men thus thrown into the sea, only one managed, by laying hold of an oar, to reach the land in safety, though sorely exhausted ; all the others were swallowed up in the foaming surf. While these things were going on, the waves were doing their work of destruction on the devoted steamer. We have already mentioned that in an inconceivably short space of time she parted in front. We have now to add that in about half an hour afterwards the stern and the quarter deck were equally swept away. The masts had gone some time before ; the last that was seen being the mizenmast, which swayed fearfully to and fro . in the water for some time before it finally disappeared. Nothing remained but the middle part of the ship, - with the starboard paddle-box, on which the sur vivors of the crew, now reduced to some dozen per sons or so, were congregated, and whose cries could be heard above the howling of the tempest, as their persons were distinctly seen from the shore. It is probable that even this part of the vessel would have followed the others, but that the weight of the ma chinery had caused this part to take a firmer hold of the rocks, and to present a more solid resistance to the waves than the forecastle of the poop. The disappearance of these latter portions of the ship was so rapid as must have appalled the stoutest heart that was on board. Hence the impatience of many ou board to trust to their own exertions for escape, and not to wait for the exer tions—torturingly lingering as they must have appeared to them—made from the shore. At an early period of the catastrophe many persons were observed rushing to the life-buoys and other apparatus for saving life that were to be found on board. One person excited consi derable interest. Ho was observed three different times to put a life-buoy round his waist, and go to the ship side as if with the intention of leaping over, and as often to divest himself of the app ara t us as if at the critical mo ment his resolution failed him. On the last occasion he disappeared from view. We do not know if it was the same individual who was seen some time afterwards appa rently clinging to the stakes of a net that was fixed in the sea, thoroughly exhausted and incapable of making further exertion. His situation excited general sympa thy ; but a seaman belonging to her Majesty's ship Archer (now lying in the harbour), who was standing on do pier, with extraordinary bravery leaped right off into the surf, and made his way to the man. His gallantry was fruitless, beyond the universal admiration its brilliancy excited ; the man was found to be dead, and not clinging to but entangled by the net. It is gratifying, however, to add that the seaman, whose name, we understand, is Robb, succeeded in reaching the shore in safety. We have reserved to the last another attempt to com municate with the ship, though, in point of fact, it was attempted before some of those efforts we have been nar rating. Captain Manby's apparatus for firing a ball from a mortar, having a line attached to it, over the ship, was brought down to the pier end, and was early brought into action. It happened, however, that there was no one—not even the person in charge of it—who under stood its management, and several attempts were made to discharge it, which just as frequently failed. The im patience and excitement of the bystanders rose to a great height, and in the same proportion the flurry and nervousness increased of the persons who were attempt ing to discharge it ; and it is probable the apparatus would have been wholly useless had it not been for a party of the officers of the Archer, already mentioned, who made their way to the place, and succeeded in dis- William Pickering, 177, Piccadilly.

Even then, however, the apparatus was incomplete. The cradle or basket in which to place the persons that were to be handed along the lines was wanting, and the only mode of securing them was the necessarily imperfect one of fastening them by small lines. The consequence was that more than one or two individuals dropped into the sea ; and among them, we regret to say, was the capt a i n hi mse lf. H e was among th earliest that attempted to come ashore in this way ; but before he had passed half across the yawning gulf his strength failed him, he lost his hold, and fell into the sea. The majority, however, were more successful, and before daylight bad utterly gone all the survivors were got on shore in this way. • It will have been seen that there was no great amount of heroism displayed by the crew on board. We have already mentioned that the mate and part of the crew were the first to leave the wreck in the ship's life-boat ; the men generally displayed great anxiety in escaping by the life apparatus, taking precedence of the women for that purpose ; and lastly, the captain himself, whose untimely fate, however, may well disarm all severe cri ticism cn his conduct, was among the first that at tempted to prove the efficiency of the life apparatus. From this list, however, must be excepted the head steward of the steamer, Duncan Christie, who remained by the vessel till he had seen every one else out of her, giving directions, and assisting with praiseworthy energy in securing the lines round the females and others that were to be passed over the gulf between the wreck and the pier, and then, it is gratifying to be able to add, himself succeded in getting safely to land. The following is the list of passengers on board the steamer :—, First Cabin—Master Stewart, Miss Bremner, Miss Lawrence Miss Leask. Second Cabin—Miss Milne, Mr. Barnett; Mrs. Met calfe, Mr. Finnic five female and two male servants of Mr. S. C. Jervoise. • Deck—Mr. Mackabe, eight seamen from the crew of the City of Aberdeen. The crew of the steamer herself consisted of captain, mate, second mate, boatswain, carpenter, eight seamen, eleven engineers and firemen, three stewards, and one stewardess. In all, 52 souls on board. We have had great difficulty—owing to our extremely limited time, and the confusion that prevailed—in arriv ing at anything like certainty as to the number and names of the individuals lost. Miss Lawrence, one of the fore-cabin passengers, was drowned. Miss Leask, her niece, was saved ; and it was reported late last night, but we can hardly say on good authority, that Miss Bremner, the other female cabin passenger, had also been saved. The body of Miss Lawrence has been east ashore. Miss Milne and Mrs. Metcalfe, in the second cabin, are saved, and the four following of the female servants of Mr. Jervoise :—Ann M‘Donald, Ann Gre gory, Ann M`Gregor, and Susan Jones. Of the male passengers, the boy, Master Stewart, most of the seamen for the City of Aberdeen; and one or more of the pas sengers escaped. A number of the firemen and seamen as soon as they came on shore, were taken home by their wives ; and as it is not kn own exact l y how many got ashore in the steamer's life-boat, Cr were picked p by-the first and only trip o f th e h arbour life-boat,aVe cannot yet say accurately th e resu l t of the casualty, but we think we are pretty near the truth in stating that of the 50 on board, 20 or 22, f oun d a watery grave, which, with the five lost from the coble, would make a total of nearly 30.

UPWARDS OF TWENTY LIVES LOST. ABERDEEN, FRIDAY EVENING. This afternoon the city of Aberdeen was thrown into a state of great excitement by the wreck of the steamer Duke of Sutherland, Captain Howland, just arrived from London, at the very mouth of the harbour, and the loss of lives before the eyes of thousands of their fellow-eiti , Zeus, who, though almost within speaking distance, and recognising in them their own personal acquaintances, felt themselves powerless to save them. . . The harbour of Aberdeen has long been known as an unsafe one ; and several vessels—among them one or two steamers—have before this been lost in attempting to enter it. Lying immediately behind, and to the north of the promontory of Girdleness, the last link of the great Grampian chain, the channel does not run straight out to sea, but takes a slight northerly direction. Hence it is easy of access for ships coming from the north ; but when vessels arrive from the south they cannot run in directly after rounding the promontory, but must still hold a north-westerly course till they have cleared the rocks to the south of the harbour ; after which they must come sharp round, or they will go ashore on the pier head. The danger of this catastrophe is much increased when the wind is blowing fresh from the southward, and still more, when, in addition to this, the river is in flood, as the current then sets strong against the pier on the north side of the harbour. All these incidents combined in the destruction of the unfortunate Duke of Sutherland this afternoon. The Dee has been flooded for several days past in consequence of the melting of the snows among the hills, in its upper course, and the wind, which had been fresh and blustering all day from the south, had raised a considerable sea, which broke in great sheets of surf upon the sandy beach to the north and south of the harbour. In the main channel of the stream, however, there was nothing to alarm, nothing to prevent any ship from taking the harbour. The sea was rolling high, indeed, but it rolled in what sailors call whole water, and hence when the Duke of Suther land was seen rounding the Girdleness-point, about half past five o'clock in the afternoon—that is about the usual time that she was expected to make her voyage—no fears were expressed by any one of her safe entrance. It was a grand sight to see the magnificent vessel battling with and mastering the swelling waves as she rounded the headland. That feeling lasted but a minute, however ; she had scarcely cleared the rocks to the south when the experienced eyes of some old fishermen saw that she was too far to the northward, and comprehending the impos sibility of her beating off against the united force of wind and tide, the, exclamation was raised that she was " a gone ship." The prediction was but too fatally verified. In less time almost than it takes to tell it, she struck with tremendous force against the rocks lying seaward at the head of the pier, and then, turning broadside on to the waves, lay a helpless log on the waters. The alarm was soon spread, and in a few minutes the pier was crowded with thousands of spectators, the more ad venturous of whom rushed to the extreme point of the pier, within a very few yards of where the ill-fated ves sel was stranded, though the sea occasionally broke right over them, as it was already doing over the ship's decks. The full peril of those on board was instantly com prehended. She was an iron vessel, and it was feared would not hold long together, especially as it was seen that she had grounded amidships. The event too, speedily rea lised their worst fears. Within less than ten minutes from the time she struck, the bow of the vessel was torn sheer from the waist arid was drifted up the har bour, while the main part remained hard and fast upon the rocks. So rapidly had the sea broken her up and found an enterance into her, that within a very few minutes from the first shock the waves could be seen from the pier dashing up from the interior of her hold black and discoloured with the coals of the steamer- No lives, we believe, were lost when the forepart of the vessel was torn away, for the sailors had, when the vessel first struck, ran aft to lower the life-boat that lay on the the starboard paddle box, being that nearest to hand. Some parties said they could hear the captain, who was on the paddle-box at the time of the accident, give orders for their doing so ; at any rate it could hardly be his orders that the ship's crew should save themselves in her. Such, however, was the case. The life-boat on the starboard or shore side was got out, and was immediately filled with persons from the wreck; but with the single exception of a little boy about ten years of age, there was not a single - passenger among them. They were the seamen and firemen of the ship, headed by the chief mate. It may be that after landing the greater part of their n umber, the rest inte n d e d to return and bring off the passe n g ers ; but however that might be their intentions were not put to the test • for after pulling a short way th rou g h the surf at t he back or north side of the pier, a tremendous sea struck the boat and upset her, throwing some ten or fifteen persons into the boiling ocean. In all probability most of them would have perished but for the gallantry of the spectators on shore ; some of the stoutest of whom dashed into the sea, and being held by the linked hands of others nearer the shore, succeeded in bringing every one, the boy among the rest, safely eshore. It is to be regretted that in the eagerness to save these unfortunate persons, all thought of securing the capsized life-boat was for gotten, so that she drifted away to the northward, and all chance of rendering her useful in saving other per sons' by manning her with a fresh crew from the land, was frustrated. While these things were taking place on board, other and highly praiseworthy exertions for their safety were made ashore. A life-boat, which was left lying in the harbour, ready to be launched either to the north or the south side, was very early resorted to by the spectators; and as soon as hands enough could be got together she was launched into the surf behind the pier, and manned MOORE'S MEMOIRS, VOLS. 111. & IV.

Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pe, micious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Co. astitntional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their alt most entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that al 3 men should know that there are principles of personal management :which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and N risen wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self- ts dulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of - their bitterness may be remove, and how the evil and its con-equen.cs !s maybe avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree ot .physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely sit i of science cannot apply a cure.

They began to carry off the goods that were washed ashore with as much alacrity as if they had been born in the Orkneys,' or on some of the wrecking shores of the South, and•had served a regular apprenticeship to the discreditable trade of wreckers. The vessel is insured to about half her value, but the cargo —an exceeding valuable one, it is said 20,000/. — is not, and several of our merchants will suffer severely. In order to protect the property cast on shore, a party of soldiers were dispatched from the barracks soon after the vessel stranded ; and, along with a number of super numerary watchmen from her Majesty's steamer Archer, relieving parties are on the watch still, the whole beach having been lighted up for nearly a mile by bonfires. We are indebted for the following interesting account of this disaster to the ,kindness of Dr. Sutherland, a gentleman well known to the public in connexion with the recent Arctic expeditions : At half-past four in the evenin g I left my lodgings in Union-terrace, in company with a friend who • intended to take a passage to Wick by the Duke of Richmond steamer at five o'clock. On arriving at the wh ar f of the Leith and Clyde Shipping Company's steamers, we found that the expected steamer had not arrived, and despite the wind and rain we took a walk to the point of the pier, to witness the Duke of Sutherland crossing the bar. he had then hove into sight off the Girdleness Light, having left London on the Wednesday ; and as the flag was not hoisted at the point of the pier, the com mander found it expedient to make a short circuit off the harbour mouth, The sea was running very cross at the time, and the ship appeared to roll much, and to take a good deal of water on board, which we often saw issuing in white streams through the scuppers and over the cover• ing boards. About 4-past five the signal for enough water on the bar was hoisted, and presently the steamer, at a comfortable offing, was observed to be standing in for the harbour. Rising majestically on the waves as she came along, we expected a noble scene, as she would enter the narrow harbour mouth, and steer slowly but steadily up to her destination, and consequently we quickened our, pace until we reached the flag station, having met the harbour-master, Mr. Morrison, walking up the pier, and apparently anticipating no danger. It now rained very hard, and blew so fiercely that the two or three persons who remained at the flag station could scarce keep on their hats. Among these persons I observed two gentlemen who evidently had more than ordinary in terest in the steamer, from the anxiety they were evincing, as she appeared to be getting out of the fair way of the harbour, owing, probably, to the leewardly fetch of the waves. A third person was Mr. Rathay, the chemist, and he was accompanied by a fourth, who, with my own friend, made up half-a-d o ze n p ersons . As the ship approached the pier-head, and was about to enter, a single sea carried her so far to the leeward that with the succeeding one she struck upon the pier about the fore mast ; and after one or more thumps her.bow stuck fast upon the rocks, and the sea began to move her stern to leeward, into the deep water. Previous to her striking, I observed that the engines were reversed, with the view of backing out, and this seemed to me to be an act pro ceeding from the captain's own impulses, and not in obe dience to the signals and shouts of the individuals stand ing at the chains on the slope of the pier. By this time our numbers at the point of the pier had increased to about ten persons, and in spite of the high sea that was sweeping clean over it, several unsuccessful attempts were made to seize a rope which the seamen on the ship's forecastle were endeavouring to send within our reach, in obedience to their commander's orders. In these attempts one poor fellow lost his footing on the slippery rocks and his hold of the chain, and was swept away; but fortunately he had the end of a small line, by which he was saved. It was now about six o'clock, the sea was rising with increased rage, and the waves were making a clean breach over the ship about midships. The seamen were on the forecastle, and the passengers were congregating on the poop and clinging to the net tings of the rails and the stanchions as the ship rolled from side to side, and often threatened to go completely over to seaward, in which case. not a soul, I believe, Would have been saved. About this time the first crash, caused by the breaking of the foremast, was heard, and bars of soap were washed ashore, having escaped through the most seriously injured part of the bottoin, at the 'step of the mast which had just given way. The com mander was standing on the bridge coolly giving orders for getting out the starboard waist lifeboat, and the men were as faithfully and coolly performing this duty. While watching the poor fellows" lowering the boat into the water we heard a tremendous crash, and in a mo ment the forepart of the ship had parted from the other about the foremast ; but fortunately the seamen had all previously withdrawn from this part, owing to the violence of the sea and the awfully destructive swinging about .of the foremast spare and rigging. The stern began so settle down into the deep water it occupied. And now a scene was beheld too sickening and too appalling to describe. The ladies were clinging to the crashing timbers and spars, and almost every sea was carrying them out of the arms of their more hardy protectors. Several of them were observed to leap in a frantic state from the high poop into the boat, which by this time the seamen had succeeded in getting into the water, and in these attempts they were severely hurt, and not a few perished by falling into the sea. The boat struggled long to get a rope from the ship to the pier, but in this her daring crew (lid not succeed, and after pulling too leeward she put in at the back of the pier, where her small share of the survivors, I think six or eight persons, effected a landing. Between six and seven o clock, I think about the half-hour, Manby's apparatus arrived, and a concourse of people, all willing to assist, but rather incommoding considerably the handful who were attempting to send off the rocket. Of these few, I must say our harbour -master, Mr. Mor rison, took the first place. Owing to the heavy rain and the surf that often swept over us, and perhaps also to inexperience in the use of this invaluable agent of humanity, at least twenty attempts to " fire" the rocket were unsuccessful. A little presence of mind, however, revealed the cause of this failure, which was owing to the powder having escaped by some accident out of the lower part of the rocket. A shout of joy and gratitude to Heaven conveyed to the vast crowds the glad news that the rocket, blazing in mid-air, had car ried the line right across the ship, about the funnel. Our attention was again drawn to the wreck. The life boat had succeeded in pushing off from the shore, and she was now taking in the passengers from the poop. Many of them leapt into the water, some with others without life-buoys, but whichever way they did a large number must have perished, while their frantic relations recognised them as the sea was closin g over th em . Th e life-boat was as full as it could hold—so full, indeed, that there was not room to use the oars, and those who had time to look at her were oft en appalled as she rose on the white foam with her precious cargo, and again sank out of sight in the yawning trough, as if it were to be swallowed up in an instant. How she effected a landing I am not prepared to state ; she never succeeded in returning to the wreck, although I believe she made the attempt. Two or three peions, ealmon fishermen, I think, started from my side at the Manby's apparatus, resolving hurriedly t o ge t o ff w ith a co bl e ; and at about seven o'clock were at the quarter of the ship—the life-boat from the shore had just left. Their object was to effect a communication with the pier by means of a line. In this they failed ; and after picking up two or thr6e, persons whom a single wave had swept from the poop, they were carried to leeward, and, as a person at my side informed me, one awful sea passed over them, after which not a soul of them, except, I be lieve, two were again seen. The quarter-deck of the ship was now completely deserted, with the exception of one female, who clung tenaciously to a fragment of the rail. My heart sickens when I contemplate her lifeless form entangled in the stanchions, while the waves often hid her from our eyes, which we dared not but turn away. Ono of the seamen ram aft to rescue her, but he was too late, for a wave took her away, and buried him so mach that we feared lie had perished in this bold and praiseworthy attempt. The attention of all was now directed to the warp we had succeeded in sending on board by means of the line. The commander was, up to this time, on the bridges ; but as he had to take an active part in securing the warp, lie got in among the seamen and passengers who were assembled at the after part of the starboard paddle-box, and after this I lost sight of him; subsequently, however, a per son at my side exclaimed, "Oh ! the captain is gone." After the warp was secured, some of the seamen at tempted to come ashore on it without the assistance of a sling, and in this way two or three perished, after coming half-way to the pier. How truly awful ! For a few moments the brawny arms cling to dear life, but not a second longer, when they must yield, and the exhausted frame drops into •the sea to perish in an instant. At the time that the warp was i fairly secured, and we had begun to work the lines, the ship parted by aft the funnel, which was still standing—th e two aftermost masts having both gone seine time pre viously. The parting of the ship here was rather a favourable occurrence ; for the midship part, containing the engines, we expected might hold out longer, and from this we might hope to get off all the survivors, although sometimes we had reason to fear that the awful sufferingdestruction which this 'part of th e wreck was in front, would annihilate the whole of it before the last person came off. Seven or eight females, and at least fourteen men, were taken off in this way, but of the exact number I am not certain, although each person passed me as we released them from the ropes .by which they were suspended on the warp. The females were not the first to come off ; this, however, was not owin to the men s t epp i ng in before them, but to the heroismsome of the m ev i nced in putting the' men into the slings, and in adjusting the ropes at opes around their b o di es . Th ree females w ere taken offone time, and now only as small many men rem a i ne d. One of the linesll_wa became entangled whil e th e f emales were but l h a aif y in, and, owing to this accident, it was feared for a moment that the line would break, and that consequently the re maining three men would perish. Happily, however, this suspense w as on l y momentary, the females, al though much exhausted and severely injured by being so long confined in the hard ropes which suspended them . to the warp, were safely landed and conveyed away. In a few minutes the three men arranged the ropes, and one of them, the chief steward of the ship, who was the last to leave the wreck, and to whose pre sence of mind in working the lines on-board the ship, the Jives ,of upwards of twenty '.of hiS felli:wheyeatures is due, gave the signal to " haul away," and in two or 4. 7 t tee-minutes more they were in the hands of their friends on the pier. It was now within twenty minutes to eight o'clock. he fore and after parts of the wreck had both disap eared, and the sea to leeward was covered with their scattered fragments. The midship part alone stood, but it did not stand Imo., for I believe before another twenty minutes expired' the funnel went over the side, and ere morning not a vestige of this fine vessel would remain together. The night was too dark to recognise many persons on the point of the pier. The harbour master was still at the scene of action, and so also were the managers of the company to which the ship belonged, and to their most strenuous exertions to save the pas sengen the utmost praise is due. I could also recognise by their dress some of the officers of her Majesty's ship Archer, now lying in the harbour, and a seaman, Robb, who distinguished himself in rescuing the crew of the ill-fated Newcastle, who went down in the offing seven or eight years ago. Such a melancholy picture as I have now endeavoured to sketch, it has not been the lot of this city to witness for forty years, when on the same day, the Ist of April, 1813, the Oscar (whaler) was wrecked within a few hundred yards of the same spot. The sad gloom thrown over us then has not yet• been forgotten ; and the, if possible, still sadder gloom of this day's awful catastrophe in which I fear upwards of 20 lives have been lost, will not cease to be reiterated for many years. Aberdeen, April 1. THE UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA. By the royal mail steamer Africa at Liverpool, last night, we have advises from New York to the 23d ult. She brought 63 passengers, but no specie. The Africa passed the steamer Asia on the 24th, hence for New York, 442 miles from Sandy Hook, and on th e 29th passe d t h e steamer A rct i c, h ence for New York. The steamer Atlantic arrived at New York on the 22d, and the screw steamer Ciby of Glasgow arrived at Philadelphia on the 22d, both from Liverpool. The British ship Shand had arrived at New York with a portion of the officers and crew of the Ameri can clipper ship Golden Light on board. The Golden Light was struck by lightning and set on fire. She was bon,nd from New York for San Francisco, and had been only 12 days a t sea w h en the casualty happened. The ves se l an d cargo were valued at upwards of $300,000. General Pierce still remained at Washington. None of the foreign appointments had been de cided upon. Mr. Buchanan was still named for England, Mr. H. A. Wise for France, and Mr. Soule for Spain. In the Senate, on the 21st ult., the discussion on the Clayton and Bulwer treaty was resumed. The debate, however, was uninteresting. Late Halifax papers state that a sort of compro mise had been agreed to between the two parties in the provincial Legislature, by which the projected system of railroads at the Government expense and risk was abandoned, and the plan of proceeding by a private company, to be incorporated by the Le gislature, aided by a large issue of Government stock, was to be substituted. The outlines of a bill had Been agreed on for the organisation of such' a company, to build 320 miles of railroad, as soon as a certain amount of stock should be subscribed, to which the province is to loan in debentures 3,0001. per mile for the trunk road, and 2,0001. per mile for the branches, on a mortgage for 20 years. From Hava.nnah we had advices to the 13th ult. A large number of slaves had recently been landed on the island. The British Consul-General imme diately directed a communication to the authori ties, stating that lie was cognisant of the landing ; but the advices do not state whether it had been answered. There was no alteration to report in the Havannah markets. St. Domingo advices of the Ist ult. state that the yellow fever had disappeared. The weather was wzy fine, and coffee was beginning to come in in large quantities, which had caused a demand for European vessels. From the city of Mexico we have advices to the 3d, and from Vera Cruz to the 6th ult. Of the 23 states • and districts into which the republic is divided, 17 have voted for the Presidency of Santa Anna, and it is believed, with some reason, that the six whith withheld will follow the example of the rest, that it may be calculated with certainty that on the arrival of the General at Vera Cruz he will be met with the nomination of President of the Re public. General Uraga continues at the head of the army, and, notwithstanding his ancient enmity to Santa Anna, he had publicly manifested that he de sires his return, and that he would contribute to sustain the .system of Government which • Santa Anna may organise. The ex-President, Senor Arista, continues at his plantation, somewhat in disposed. He has contemplated leaving the coun try, where he does not consider himself safe. On the sth of March Colonel Escabar arrived in Vera Cruz by the English steamer. This gentle man had left that city for Carthagena a few days after the pronunciamento of the 28th of December, for the purpose of preparinc, General Santa Anna to undertake a voyage t o that ° port, and it is said that the arrival of the latter might be expected by the next English steamer. The news of General Santa Anna's coming was celebrated with salvos, the pealing of bells front all the churches, and the beat ing of drums. Brownsville advices of the 30th of February state that Caravajal had abandoned his plans and dis banded his followers. Late advices from Santa Fe state that the revolu tion in Chihuahua had turned out a failure. In the New York stock market a downward ten dency was manifested for most descriptions of secu-. rities. Money continued in demand, at 8 to 10 per cent, for first class, and 11 to 15 per cent, for second class mercantile paper. Money on call in request at 7 per cent. Foreign exchange dull. On Lon don, 109 to 109 f ; Pa r i s 5 16k t o 5 ; Amsterdam, 40R to 414 ; Bremen, 79 to 79k. There has been an improved demand for cotton, and prices had advanced of a cent. per p oun d on all grades under good middling. Flour had again declined to the extent of 12i c. per barrel. Wheat and Indian Corn had also declined, the former 3 c. to 5 c., and the latter 2 c. to 3 c. per bushel. No alteration to notice in provisions. Iron was not much inquired for, and prices were nominal. Freights to London—Tobacco, 30s. to 355. per h.hd. ; flour, 2s. 9d. to 3s. per barrel ; measure ment goods, 255. to 30s. ; and cheese, 30s. per ton. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
