THIS well-establitbed Daily Paper,--i-the first Itilat was attempted.in t..kc -Xrovinces,:,—is now, under a Aesw proprietary, devoted to the interests of .the great Conservative natty.: Its 'principles are t.b.os6 so forcibly expressed by the Earl of Derby, at the recent i.k.erpoclXproviet, when he said, speak of that Conservatism which is not obstructive, but 11 e t he best promoter of safe and grad -;.;a1 social improve re.w,---c.)f that Conservatism which, strenusfisly adhering to the'eld zrlacbinery of the Constitution, adapts from timb to time the Tar:l , AS parts of its mechanism to the real _acquirements and the real ,capacities of the age in which-we lice,--of that Con servatism which should give to all orders and clo-rees of men within •tbis _realm their due weight, authority, and prepondcr ance,--of that Conservalism which loves the interests of the people at large but will not be led away by the noisy ,lenuncia— tions of blustering deniagogues„ either to shrink at the voice of menace, or timidly to make concessions to large bcadies of men for the pa:prise of obtaining a temporary popularity, when in our hearts we believe the concession of those coveted boons would be the worst injury we could iatlict upon the classee it is sought to benefit." , Such is the Conservatism of which the Northern Tihies is now the faithful and unflinching advocate, and never,. perhaps, liras eiere a moment when • a temp , :..•,.te and judicious application of the Daily Press to the ci,pou , rd sf its cause, and the dissemination of its principles, was capable of serving more beneficial purposes. Hitherto; the Daily Paper's of LiVerpool have, one and all," been exclusively in the so-called Liberal, that is, the Whig and Radical, interest. The Conservative cause has now got its representative, and its advocate, in the local Daily Press. It rests with the Conservative party of Liverpool to decide with ivkat efficiency this their Daily organ of the Press shall, be maintained. Its success has so far been considerable, — the circulatiOn already secured is large and increasing; it is about three times more than it was when it came into its pre sent hands,---and if all who are Conservatives will only cup port it with their advertisements, and use their active influence to make it a profitable advertising medium, its prosperity, and therefore its influence, will soon be powerfully strengthened and confirmed. ' The late Derby Banquet cannot but have aroused the Con servatives of Liverpool to a more active course of public duty ; and the obligation, in times; like the present, to sustain a Daily Paper in their import nt interest, cannot fail to be acknow ledged, and ought therefore to be acted upon.

The inquiry into the loss of this vessel commenced yesterday, in the Crown Court, before Captain Harris, nautical assessor, and Mr. Mansfield, stipendiary magis trate. - 1,12- O'Dowd appeared for the Board of Trade, and Mr. J. B. Aspinall for the owners of the Indian. • In opening the - inquiry Mr. O'Dowd said:—The , circumstances of the recent loss of the steamer Indian having been intimated to the Board of Trade, they have: in _pursuance of the powers invested in them by the Mer-. chants' Shipping Act, ordered the usual official inquiry. It appears by the official register, a copy of which I hold in my hand, that the Indian was a British screw steamship. 'She was registered at the port of Glasgow on the 7th of Pebruary, 1855, and was three-decked, had three masts, and was barque-rigged, her frame, plating, and bolting, being of iron. Her gross tonnage was 1,764, and deducting 719 tons for propelling power, left her actual tonnage as 1,045 tons. It appears, how ever, irons a memorandum on the register, that a new poop had been subsequently added, which increased her tonnage to over 1,100 tons. She was 270 feet long, 23 'feet in breadth 'of beam, and 23 feet in depth of hold, and was the, property of Messrs. Allan .Sr, Gillespie, 'rho traded under the title of the Montreal Steam *Shipping Company. lam informed that the.builder of the Indian is 'in town, who will be happy to give every information if it ds required. I throw out no imputa tion againstthe - vessel, and there is no allegation of her being built.of .weak material or being otherwise faulty. She left Liverpool on the 9th of November last, bound for Portland, U.S., with a general cargo of 800 tons, and 800 tons of coals. She had eight cabin and thirty steerage passengers, seventy-nine of a crew, and was „eommanded by Captain W. Smith. ,The weather at first 'was moderate, but changeable. Nothing remarkable occurred till she was off Cape Race, Newfoundland, when soundings were taken to ascertain the ship's position, but it was not till the 19th of November, when on that and the day following obser vations were taken, which gave the position of the ship as about fifteen miles to the south, of Cape Race. The fog 'having cleared_ away, the Cape was seen at the distenee,ofabout eight miles. This was the only view they had of land till the vessel struck. T, may state that there does not seem to be anything to inculpate Captain Smith. Soundings appear to have been taken almost every hour alternately, and the fact appears to be that Captain Smith, by the result of the soundings was left under the impression that he was steering for. Halifax, between Sable Island and Nova Scotia. It appears she had several boats, and at the "first brush the loss of life may appear extraordinary, econsidering the facilities she had, and that she struck . only about two' miles distant from the shore. There - .were in all seven boats, and it would appear from the proximity to land, they would have been sufficient to ' land the p4sengers, but only three of them were dice- • tively laiinched. After the ship was stranded, I am sorry to say, that though on the coast of one of our own coloniee, the inhabitants behaved with the utmost-iiihumaiiiiy. Schooners passed the vessel when signals of distress were hung out, and guns were 'firing, which it was afterwards ascertained, were heard fur five miles into the - backwoods; yet these boats passed on, and, heedlessly 'left their suffering fellow-creatures. The 'wreck was pillaged by the wreckers; and he . weuld submit a re •cOmmendation to the court, to embody in the report to the Board of Trade, that a similar system be introduced into our colonies, as that in use on the coasts of the mother country, for the protection of life and property. "- Captain Smith was then called, who said: I was -cap tain, of the British screw- steamthip Indian. I hold a -certificate of competency, dated 21st May, 1859. I bad a crew of 79, including officers.. The Indian carried a. general cargo of about 1.300 tons, and from 700 to 860 tons of coals. • • There were:.,eight cabin and thirty steerage passengers. I sailed on the 9th of November 1. from _Liverpool, bound. to Portland, State of Maine., j • Nothing particular :occurred till the ship arrived off the coast of Newtbundland,.eiceptheavy N.W. breezes. At noon on the. 19th November, at one p.m., Cape Race bore north - distinct, about eighteen miles. After leaving Cape Race, I made an observation in the after noon, which 'by working back till noon, I. found the longitude to be 53.3, and the variation 33 degrees west, which agreed With the heaving at one p.m. Having made this observation„,:md knowing my position, L shaped my course to pass between Sable Island and the• land of Nova Scotia. - At midnight of the;l9th the breeze increased, with hazy weather and drizzling rain, - Which continued till noon next day. The ship was „Averaging ten and a half to. eleven knots an hour at this time. After Working up the distance run, I found my !position ought to be --just on the northern edge the . bank Ranqueroe, stopped the ship' and cast the read, and found forty fathoms, sand and stone. At noon the sun was obscured, and there was a - strong_ breeze, , Throughout thenight the wind bad been S.S.W. It - shifted at noon to due W., with weather foggy. Finding the.ship was not in deep water, I supposed she Was on the beach, and at one p.m. I ordered her to be stopped, and again sounded in 43 fathoms, still steering the same course W. by N. At 2.30 p.m., sounded again in •40 'fathoms. At four p.m., sounded in 37 fathoms. At five, sounded in 30 fathoms. After - taking all those soundings, and finding them agree with those denoted on the chart, I concluded thatl.was somewhat to the southward of my reckoning, and sapposing I had been carried by . the current from the . Gof SC - Lawrence, and fearing to get too near the coast of Sable Island, I hauled the vessel up W.N.W. The com.se till 5 p.m. bad been N.W., speed averaging seven knots an hour. At 6.40 p.m. I again sounded in thirty-soven fathoms. . I still fancied I was setting to the southward. From 7 to 8 p.m. I hauled up W.N.W., when I sounded - and found thirty-eight fathoms. kept her away again to W.S.W. till 9 p.m., when I sounded in forty-three fathoms. -•, This - -last sounding. led rue to believe that I was on the west end of the Banqueroe Bank. To ascertain if the . last sounding was correct, I stopped at 10.30 and , found no bottom at 71 fathoms, which led me to conclude I was over the bank. At 11.30, thinking I was approach ing the middle ground, I sounded again in 68 fathoms: I then altered the comae to W. by N. and half N. From seven till midnight found an average speed of seven knots. At Midnight the wind was strong . from N.N.W., with frequent showers of sleet and snow.. ' At 12..30 a.m. on the 21st sounded in 40 fathoms, to ascertain if I was on the middle bank, which T supposed I was from this sounding. To make sure this was correct, 1 made au additional sounding with the deep sea lead, as I had previously done at eight o'.clock. At 2.40., a.m., I sounded again, and being satisfied by that sounding that I was .on the middle bank, I altered my course to W. by N, Average speed from midnight till 2.40., 63 knots, Believing myself in that position, I took no more soundings. There is a current constantly running to the south-east by Cape Breton from the St. Lawrence, besides various currents as stated in the boOk of-direc tions. At four a.m. the weather was still dark and cloudy. I went to look at the chart, as the chief officer* was coining -- on deck to take his watch. • I showedh itn the chart and soundings which I had been taking; and pointed out the position in which I supposedthe ship to be on the middle ground, and I • also informed hint I had shifted my course for Sable d :Island.. also mentioned that, daylight he,zaight see the land, but that I did not I gexpeetle telling him at sl i t td o o. u pl d u , At four the same orders tini to e to t hcall chiefm e if he engineeri t on full 'Speed, and the fore and aft canvass to beset. I left the .d.eck about 4.20 a.m. At 5 a.m. the chief officer came to my cabin, saying he thought he saw something like land on the starboard quarter—there was a dark, ap pearance •ini. the horizon. lie also told me that in con sequence of.this appearance he had altered the coarse one point to the southward. . By Mr. O'Dowd—ln steering the middle course from Sable Island to Portland, we sight no lights. By Captain Harris—l told the chief officer then to keep her off another point, in case it should be land.: The vessel struck just as he gave the order to starboard the helm and to keep her off. To questions suggested by Mr. Aspinall, Capt. Smith said, that at 10 . 30% saw a light on the port bow, while sounding. I burnt a blue light, to ascertain wlfether it was • a ship, Or a light on Sable Island ; but shortly afterwards the bearings were shifted about two points,: which convinced me that it was a ship.. . Captain Smith wao desired by the assessor to mark out his course on the chart and produce it to-day. Captain Smith's evidence proceeded with—When the ship struck I rushed out of my cabin, finding the water was coming in. Ordered the chief officer to get the boats swung out on the davits. While they were getting out I ordered the boatswain to sound round the stern on each quarter. He reported three and a-half fathoms on both quarters. I believe some attempt was made to reverse the engines, but the ship would not move. Daylight was breaking at' this time. When the ship struck she w as going about eight and 'a -half knots: I then ordered si g nals •of distress to be fired, and the two. foremost life-boats .(Nos. 1 and 2) to be cleared away and lowered level with the hand-rail, and the boats No. 3 and five to be got out, in ch arge of Mr. Smith (second officer) and Mr. Tibbet (fourth officer). The boats 2 and 4 were also ordered to be got round tste:‘. the leeward. While they were lowering the boats, a breaker rolled front seaward anti filled No. 2 bo a t, svlsiala ' was hanging at the gunwale, carrying away theaft,r . davit. The boat capsized, bottom up, drowning all on board of her. My orders were that no passengees.were to go into any of the boats till orders were given. I do not know how many persons were lost on : this . occasion, but subsequently heard that nineteen were lost. In lowering boat No. 1, I understand a somewhat similar accident occurred. As day was breaking, I did . not intend to use the boats till it was full daylight. In . lowering No. 3, also on the starboard side, they were able to rescue some of the passengers wlio had been thrown out of No. 1. While Nos. 3 and 5 were coming round to leeward they mere carried away to sea. No. 3 attempted to pass round the bow, and No. 5 by the stern. I hailed them myself, and they appeared to be making: every endeavour to get round. There were some passengers in No. 3, as well as , the crew, . but No. 5, had only her crew on board. No 3 waA a life-boat, having tins - - filled with cork all round. The next boat that was lowered was No. 7, but she immediately filled. The two men who were in her were hauled out of the water. This was about half an hour after she struck. The ladies were then put'into 'boat No. 6 on the portside, which was immediately loWered in safety and sent off in charge of the boatswain. No. 4 was then cleared away on the port side also. In getting her into the water she got. - half filled. The third officer and four men were sent to . bail her out. While they were doing so the painter parted, and she drifted away to sea. She was subsequently picked up by a schooner and carried to Boston. No. 3 in charge of the second officer, got on shore about thirty .. miles down the coast. Nos. 5 and 6, the two life-boats, _. managed to pull to shore, where they arrived at 3.30 p.m. About a quarter to six, a.m., the ship, with a , great crash, parted amidships, the forepart falling over to seaward. The carpenter, with about twenty of the crew, were on the forepart of th e s hip. I ordered the carpenter to cut away the foremast, fearing. that its weight might cause the forepart of the ship to roll off the . reef. We succeeded in saving all in the, forepart, with the exception of one man, .by passing them along a rope to the after part. The nun who was lost was suffering froM th Ileum tremens, `and could not be persuaded to pass along the rope—he was subsequently washed ove r b oar d. Eight steerage passengers were lost from the two boats, as before .stated. There was a first-gla ss passenger on board, named Besford, a member of the council of New Brunswick. We were about one - mile from Barren Island at this time. ' We saw two whale-boats pass us at daylight, but they took no notice of us. They , could have come to us with perfect safety to them- selves, as their build enables them to stand-to almost - any sea.. There were also three or four schooners passed within half a mile astern of us ; one of thorn was not over 300 yards distant. All this time we were 'firing signals of distress. Between one and two o'clock p.m., three whale boats cam e u p t o ' our ass i stance. ...Fining they could not-take the whole of the persons on board, I took one of them, and proceeded to find assist ance. I hailed one of the schooners that had recently . -passed us,'but no notice was taken, and she immediately stood out to sea I then proceeded to Maria Joseph. In standing in shore, I saw No. 6 boat, containing the' ladies, 'close to . Barren Island. I ran down and took them on board of the whale boat, as the crew. ~ s eemed very much exhausted. On arriving. at Maria 1 Joseph, I found that the whale boat from the wreak had, With No. Gin tow, arrived. After the passengers had I been landed, I despatched th e w h a l e b oat and No. 6 to bring off the remainder of the passengers. I went to two schooners, at anchor in the bay, and wished them to _ accompany the whale boat in case of accident, but they both refused, on , the ground that ' their sails were, not in order. I took a magistrate With me, named .Israel Nickinson, to force - them to go, but he said he had no power to . compel them, if they refused to :go. Having get ' all the available assistance I could there,. I telegraphed to Halifax. I was on t h e point of returning - to - the wreck as I had promised,'.. when I was informed, by the arrival of a whale-boat, , ' that the chief officer with all the people were close at hand in a schooner. Every effort was made to induce the fishermen to go off and watch the wreck, but they all maintained it was not safe. Mr. O'Dowd said there was no doubt Captain Smith . had done everything, and taken every precaution to . save life and protect property. Captain Smith-e-NeXt morning the chief officer went • Off before daylight to the wreck for the. purpose of saving property. He found two whale boats alongside. The passengers had brought nothing ashore with them from the wreck. The silver and other valuables had been pug t removing into the l a t d h i e e n s; . cab w i n ht fo n r t h h e e J e u n r t p o o n s e b o o f a c r o d n t v h e e n i p en as t n i n... l gers' luggage was strewn about ; the locks of the boxes [ ' had apparently been broken by a hammer, and the plate lof the ship was away. When the men were asked what they were doing there, they said they were ordered to come and watch the wreck by the magistrate.
