LOSS OF. IHE ARGO. ST. JOHN'S, N.F., Tune 30, 1859.—A1l of the Argo's passengers have arrived here safe and well. The steam-tugs left again to-day to bring up the crew.and what was saved from the wreck. The following are, as near as can be gathered, the particu lars of the disaster : "Between three and four o'clock on Tuesday morning made Cape Pine, bearing north northeast, about twelve Miles distant. The coast pilot, captain, dud all the officers were called on deck at the sight of land. The course was changed, and made southeast by east; this should have cleared her fifteen miles from Cape Race. About a quarter past four a very dense fog carte up; about half-past five the captain spoke a fishing schooner, stopped the engines and reversed them, asking., Where are yau fishing ?'

LOSS OF THE FLEE MOOD. The schooner Kate Weston, Captain Ellis, which arrived at New York, from Pernambuco, June 5, brought as passenger Mr. Babson, first officer of the ship Fleetwood, of Boston, which he reports was lost off Cape Horn May 4, by coming in contact with an iceberg, causing the ship to sink in a short time, and obliging the officers and crew to escape in the boats. The Fleetwood, Capt. Dale, sailed from Boston Feb. 9, with an assorted cargo for the Society Islands, having, among other things, twenty-five nests of boats, six in a nest. Nothing unusual happened until the ship arrived off Cape Horn, when in lat. 60 deg. south, lon. 71 deg. west,• while going twelve knots an hour, be fore a heavy northeast gale of wind, on- the night of the 4th of May, the ship struck an iceberg which carried away her bowsprit, stove in her bowt,' starting all the wood ends forward, and leaving her in a sinking condition. The pumps were sounded, when she was found to be leak ing• rery fast. The hatches were opened, and the cargo broken out forward and thrown overboard, with the hope of getting at the leak, as well as to lighten the vessel. As it was found impossible to save the' ship in this way, the captain ordered a portion of the crew' to work at the pumps, while he . with the rest cleared away the beats, and made preparations to loavc. , the ship. The ship sank so fast there was little, time for preparation, bat Mr. Babson states that the boats were well rsappliei. Mr. Babson launched his boat first, bat it had partially stove, 'and only four of the crew, three men and a buy, w:IO3C names are not given, got into it with bin.

At the battle of _Leipsir ut I , elpsie Which lasted for three days, the 330,000 allies had against them 260,000 French ; the latter lost 30,000 prisoners and 46,000 killed and wounded, and the former 48,000 killed and wounded. After Leipsic, the most sanguinary battle was that of Moscow, on the 7th of September, 1812. The Russians had. 130,000 men and 600 pieces of cannon, the French 134;000 men and 587 cannon ; the former lost 58,000 and the latter 50,000 ; the losses were therefore 40 per cent. At Bautzen, on the 21st May, 1813, there were • 110,000 Russians and Prussians opposed to 150,000 French ; the latter lost 20,000 men, and the allies 15,000, and not a single cannon. At Wagram, on the 5 h and 6th July, 1809, we had 137,000 men, and Napoleon 170,000 ; we lost 20,000 and the enemy 22,000. At Esling we wer' d • )00 against 85,000 ; we had 20,000 killed Ind wounded, the enemy 13,000 killed, but he left in )ur hands 3,000 prisoners, and was obliged to send _ _ 40,000 to Vienna io have their wounds attended to, so *hat out of the 160,000 men engaged, about one•half put hors de combat.

HAMPSTEAD PONDS. —On Wednesday afternoon another fatal accident occurred at a pond on Hampstead-heath, from bathing. The victim in this instance is a youth named William Lynch aged 18 years, residing in York-road, St. Pancras. This is the fourth accident of the kind which - has occurred at these ponds within the last month. Surely some measures might be taken either altogether to present bathing in them, or to Tender its practice less dangerous. _ ENGLISH. CAPITAL IN EGYPT. We are informed from trustworthy sources that some Englishmen have taken up the administration of the estates of his Highness Il Hama Pasha, son of the late viceroy of Egypt. The estates are of immense value, about 150,000 fellahs being employed. It is to be hoped that under their auspices the valuable. resoutses of this rich country will be fully and successfully developed. This is the real conquest to which England must aspire, and one more ennobling than any purchased at the sacrifice of human life. THE LATE Mica.

LUDICROUS COMMENTARY ON THE COMPETITIVE AND EXAMINATION SYSTEMS —Sir Hamilton Seymour's son was lately rejected at one of the preliminary examinations for attacheships. Sir Hamilton was much annoyed., came , up to town, and was permitted to inspect the examinaton papers. In one orthem was the question, •" What are the Dutch possessions in the East Indies'?" . His son an swered, "There are no Dutch possessions in the East Indies." The examiner had treated the answer as a blunder of ignorance. it Hamilton insisted on it that his son's answer was quite right; that the Duteh.settlements in. the East Indies—still given in all the maps and gazetteers had been ceded to this country two years ago, in conside ration ton of a c er t a i n yearly payment.

NORTHERN„ TMES FRIDAY, JULY l& 4859, GREAT .FI_RE AT THE SIIAD TH4 MRS PLOU.R- MILLS, LOHDOIV: The most extensive conflagration that has occurred on the Surrey side of the river for many years, commenced on Wednesday afternoon, and, on Thursday night, was far from being , extinguished, The premises in which the disaster originated belonged to Messrs. J. B. and T. H: Pecks, the proprietors of the flour mills, situate at Shad Themes, Bermondsey. The byildings occupied a portion of both sides of the carriage. road on the land side, whilst the back ran to the edge of St. Saviour's Dock, and on the opposite side of the river towered high into the air the biscuit works belonging-to Messrs. Peck, Freeks, and Co., the patentees- of the aerated bread and biscuit factory, and notwithstanding the 'breadth of the. Creek running between the two ranges of buildings, the latter must have been consumed had it not been for the exertions of nearly 200 men employed in the bakery. To add tathe danger of the fire extending to a considerably greater 'distance,. adjoining the last named house stood Scott's wharf filed with resin and oil, and next to those warehouses were Messrs. l3randran Brothers oil and tur- , pentine stores. With such a vast accumulation of combus tible matter at hand, and the fire raging so fiercely in a building not less than six floors high, the most lively apprehensions prevailed for the safety of the 'whole of the surrounding . property. The discovery was made by one of the Workniem employed on the fourth floor, and although there were thirty men on the premises, who tried every expedient to subdue the flames, but without the:least success, the conflagration extended itself with the rapidity of.light ning, and in the course of less than half an hour tile whole ofthe entire warehouse presented a regular sheet of flame. The police on' duty' ow the different bridges,' •on seeing the flames rising so high; sent off messengers to the different engine houses, And in a very brief - period' the two. powerful .steam floating-engines from Southwark bridge aud - Rotherhithe attended, as well. as the land engines from Bermondsey vestry and those of , the brigade from Southwark-bridge road, Waterloo-road, Tooley strret, Watling-street, Chandos-street, and the most dis tant depots, the main being under the command of Mr. Braidwood, the ,superintendent, and Mr. Henderson, the chief officer of the D. section. Before this powerful force arrived a . large supply of water was flowing from every fire plug in 'the . immediate vicinity, from'which the land engines were called into full operation ; but notwithstand ing the.work of devastation continued, and floor after floor continued. to fall, until and at length the flames burst through the roof, and ignited the adjoining warehouse,.a building even larger than the first named. The heat then became so intense that the: wharves on the opposite side of the Creek were smoking and cracking, and were expected momentarily .to .be engulphed in flames. Under the direction of Mr. Molyon, the chief manager of the Aerated Bread and. Biscuit works, men were employed in throwing water upon many of the surrounding factories, which had the desired effect only to a limited extent; but Mr. Quick, jun., of the Southwark Company, coming. up, he had the mains charged fully at Cie . :tank, by which several other land engines could be set. in operation ; but . hours passed away before the least impression could be made- upon the violence , of the destroying element. The two steam-floats were kept at work as . long as the tide would admit, and when that receded the only - remedy was that furnished by the land engines., The latter were then worked with amazing rapidity, and although the firemen had succeeded, by half past nine o'clock at night, in getting something like con trol over the flames, so as to prevent them from reaching the other wharves and warehouses, yet • they were even ,then not entirely extinguished, and there seemed no • chance of .auch being accOmplishad' until late next morning. The mill belonging - .to.. Messrs. Pecks ,is entirely destroyed, including the 'costly. machinery and many thousand quarters of '. wheat, • flour, &c. To give anything like an approximate idea of the damage done at present would be impossible,' as, independent of the destruction of the first-named mill, the adjoin ing one is severely damaged, the root' being burnt off, and serious damage done by water. The premises on the other side of the creek are likewise injured by fire, water, &e The misfortune commenced in the following manner : —A number of the men were employed in the dressing room on the fourth flo or when a wire of a machi ne b ro k e and the same was required to be instantly repaired, when a man took a light into the place to see to put on another wire, but the moment he entered the husk from the wheat came in contact with the light, and it was with difficulty that any person could manage to reach the street in safety. The losses will fall principally upon the Sun, Norwich, Union, Atlas, West of England, and the Royal insurance companies. THE "REVIVALS" IN IRELAND; Tuesday was the anniversary of Anghrim—a day formerly celebrated by the Protestants of Ulster with all the outward display the law allowed, and some times the demonstration exceeded the legal limits to such an extent as to bring the•parties engaged into serious trouble. According to the northern journals of the- past few days there• was not the slightest deviation from the paths of lace and order—indeed, the whole Protestant population of Ulster seem to be under the- influence of strong religious feeling: The progress of what is called the• " ReligiOus revival " is rapid and overwhelming. All—young, and old —are affected by it. A writer describing the scenes in Belfast on Sunday last exclaims, "What a place this is just now ! Young and old, male and female, flock to the places of worship —there appears no lightness —no- giddiness." A vast crowd collected to hear Mr. Guinness, the popular Presbyterian minister, and the writer.above quoted goes on to say—" Ere the preacher arrived a group of lads collected in one spot, and an thoughtful boy, taking off his cap, cried out in ear nest prayer, his small hand trembling upwards to wards the open heavens above them." Another letter describes the effect of an exciting sermon upon a crowded congregati lowing extract from the report of a sermon delivered by the Very Rev, the Dean of Down, in reference to this movement. It was delivered Q 4 Sunday last in the cathedral at Downpatrick. The text was from the parable of the Prodigal. Son.. After some preli, minary observations the dean proceeded : " You have repentance and return to God- 7 a story of such surpassing lovelinessthat we are at a loss whether most to admire the human na ivine p the engaging aspect of GA's character, or the exquisite beauty of the narrative in which this heavenly teaching is conveyed. I ask you, then, to look upon this picture and ou that. The prodigal was convinced of sin; he was awakened to a sense of his guilt and danger, and he re-, pented ; he arose and went to h rational; sober-minded; there 'is nothing to of the most fastidious taste or collide with the coolest judgment.

And all is as deeply hatOlo as it is calm and quiet. 4 I will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against HeaVol and against thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.' There is here no presumptuous boasting— no blasphemous claim to inspiration. This convert iialone with God ; he - does not at once start up into a preacher or perambulate his penitence through the surrounding district like a common showman or a strolling player. I will arise and go unto my father, and say unto him, father, I have those secret things of the heart which should belong to God alone —no disclosure of those inner experiences which should enter no ears but the ears Of a Father in Heaven, and whose indelicacy fessional less of such fanatical and fant lstic absurdity as must revolt every mind of common enemies too good an occasion to blaspheme and sneer agaiist our Protestant faith.

A tremendous conflagration occurred on Wednesday, in the warehouse of Messrs. Gilby, the railway and canal carriers, whose premises abut inimediately on the large brewery of Messrs. Hunt and Edmunds, in South Bridge street (the cattle market). It commenced soon after 10 o'clock in the day, and rapidly seized on the very great quantity of combustible goods and ignited some hay, which was rapidly carried in flaming flakes to the many thatched roofs in the direction of the wind, in a line ,at the back nf the buildings which front to the street. Within little more than one hour the fire extended over a large space. There was a breeze blowing, at the time, and the fire seemed bounded by the two large breweries, Mr. Wyatt's being at its terminus, east. The utmost exertions were made by the united population to assist in controlling the fire, and in removing furniture. Of the latter there was sad destruction, from persons desiring to remove, 'from unfounded alarm. Had the town not been supplied with water from the . new water company's work, and if it had occurred at night, one eighth part of the town might have been annihilated. The town engine and one from Mr. Samuelson's foundry, together with the invaluable hydrants of the water company, were most effectively handled, and the entire of the appliances were most effective—the engines from Brackley, Wroxton, &c. The principal scene of the destruction was at Messrs. Gilby's, where the premises seemed utterly burnt out, and nothing hut red-hot and roofless walls tottering over the wreck. The Crown Inn and buildings near it formed the next great scene of. destruction, while the thatched roofs and rafters of upwards of twenty other buildings and upper parts of houses were thoroughly burnt off. Water well supplied, and energy well directed, saved an immense quantity of seriously endangered property. The breweries at either extreme seem to have escaped with slight injury, though Hunt and. Edmunds's was considerably endangered. The cause of the. fire is un known, though it has, been su rm i se d th a t th e i ntense rays ofntohwen:un thrown from an adjoining window on to some in flammable substance may have originated it. There have been only a few slight accidents ; but several persons at tempted to steal plate, &c., which they were professedly re moving for safety.

A correspondent, writing from i Lyming_on t says, that during the storm or Saturday week, which commenced there at seven o'clock in the evening, " the heavens were discharg ing a perfect deluge of icebolts, wedges of iee in every in white o h , ea c p a s n a i l i l ng ove d r am th ag e e lal n v i n u s i shape and size; they, exceeded three inches round, and some picked up were as big as oranges. some as small as pullets' The all w:n ,a d s ow ea s ill it: es; kn e .d. r . y grillcl i t• e . e i -, 3 i w they , I: b in r : e l l were broken in one dwelling, melted away like snow.

St. Paul merated 'with inspired pen the lovely fruits of the _ 'love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.' ExaMine upon what authority prostration of strength, spasms, hysterics, are added to this catalogue. Take no men's sincere conviction and loudest protestations that they are really converted as any prOof that they are really converted. They were no hypocrites ; they firmly believed themselves to be Christ's commissioned Messengers, whose self-delusion to the last our Lord thus records for our admonition :—‘ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven. Many will say unto mu i n that -day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name ? And in Thy name cast out devils ? And in Thy name done many wonderful works ? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from me ye that work iniquity.' Take no individual's word.—take no newspaper reportings as proof that God's Holy - Spirit is working peculiarly in any place this caution , was required, Trust ye not in lying words, say ing the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are we.' Remember that the larger the crowd of those who profess sudden conversion, just in that proportion does the proba bility decrease that it is a genuine . work of God, and the likelihood increase that it is an ebullition of epidemic en- thusiasm —a phenomenon as well known and yet as unaccountable as the mysterious contagion of the pestiic that walks in darkness. God forbid that I should st..y that there is no good combined with this work, for in most things human good and evil are commingled; and will con tinue so until the all-discriminating day; and even out of evil and confusion, He who causes the light to shine out of darkness can educe harmony _ and good. But . God forbid also that I should dare to pronounce with a flippant dogmatism that work to be of God's most Holy Spirit, because some fallible men assert it to be so, whose which are still future, if they are to be produced at all ; for fruit must grow and mature and ripen before its quality can be judged. I. desire myself, and i exhort you, in this case to suspend your judgment; come to no positive decision, which is often the best course for the philosopher and the Christian who really desires, to. ascertain the mind of the Spirit and the truth of God, unbiassed by any party in fluences, unswayed by, the passions or the fancies of the passing hour. I desire not to oppose, and I desire as dis tinctly to keep aloof from any approbation of; or participation in, what I do not feel that there is evidence sufficient to pronounce decidedly a work of Gad. I would say to you rather, Refrain from these men and let them alone ; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought ; but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it ; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.'"

It was stated that nothing a dditional had transpired to strengthen the supposition of murder. The presentiment that she was not going to live long, by her kissing her brother-in-law and others, and say ing she should "never see them more," leads to the belief that she might have committed self-destruction.
