THE LATE TERRIBLE DISASTER AT SEA.

Further details have been received of the burning
of the William Nebo; already announced by telepaph.
The French steamer Lafayette left New York on the 23rd
June, and nothing extraordinary occurred wail the after-
noon of the 27th, when the look-out man eigoalled two boata,
apparently laden with men. The steamer bore down to
them add took on based the occupants who proded to be
the oepteis, ZS men, and 6 women from the 'hip William
Nelson, of New Yolk. The captain made the following
etatehaent . •

' I airith American, and my name is John Levy ; my
ship was of 1,039 tons burthee, and had on board • crew
of 30 men. I left Antwerp on the tad of June, sod
Flush* on the 4th. with SOO toes of rails, different other
merolunidiss, and 450 emigrants, bound for New York.
Yesterday I bad fast taken an observation, which showed
that I was in 40 dag. 21 mat north latitude, and 50
deg. 21 min, west longitude, from Greenwich, when I
learned that my men in fomigating the vois4, bad set
her oa fire. I made every effort to extinguish the
Sams, bit they spread with such fearful rapidity
that. our labour was unavoidable. I then ordered
the four boats to be launched. In the disorder which
had seized everyone, they were immediately lined by those
person' who were newest at hand. 1 remained on board
thivessel, but was soon surtouided by flames, and was
obliged to throw myself into the sea, when I wee Pared up
by out of the bats. My ship WM all on fire, and my un-
fortunate passengers were perishing in the flames, or drown-
ing, without my being able to asdet them. The seem was
horrible. . This morning, at 4 o'clock, everything had dis-
appeared. My four boats were laden with people ; I or-
dered them to follow, and proceeded in • north-westeely
direction, thinking I should have sthaaos of meeting with
some dups. The two other boathouse% be far off."
The captain of the Lafayette, in order to pick up the
two other boats, determined to cruise smand the spot foe
• time; shortly after a mil wee seen ahead, sad at suaest a
boat was also observed at • emit iiiatano& The steamer
bore dove smell • the latter, but the selling ship, which
proved to be she Haim of Pinked, being parer, reached
becee the Lafayette, and took on board the people in the
boat, coexisting of • woman, four, children, and slim men.
An officer wee sent from this steamer to the Henan to ie.
form her captain of the Easing of the people from
the two other boats. The fourteen rescued from the
third boat then want on board the Lafayette, mid de.
eared that they had parted company at 4 o'cloek with the
boat still missing, on board of which were 37 persons. The
Lafayette continued to cruise about, firing a gun or seeding
up a rocket every See minutes until 11 at night, but with-
oat mums', whoa she resumed bar voyage, after having re-
ceived from the capteda of the Russian ship the promise to
remain all night oo the spot to endeavour to rescue the
other boat. The Umm was then bound from Haver
for Marseilles. The 44 persons picked up remised
every attention on board the Laftystte, and the
Baroness de Staub], wife of the kossisn minister
at Washington, made a collection in aid of them, which
amounted to 2,8611 L Tie whole were landed at Havre on
the arrival of the steamer the day before yesterday.
Among the episodes of the catastrophe is romitimed that
of a young woman only a few months married, and ex-
pectin shortly to be • mother, who in the confusion which
prevailed while in the water clung to a seamen whom
she mistook for her husband. The sailor swam away
with his burthen to the boat, and they were both picked
up, but the young wife's stupefaction on discovering bar
error was painful to witness. There are, however, still
hopes that the husband may have been saved in the Miser
boat. An emigrant was so fortunate as to lam his four
children from both fire and water, and get them en board
one of the boats. His wife was, hemmer, still on the
burning drip He swam back to the William Nelms, got
on board, threw his wife into the NS. jumped in after her,
and seela reached the beet with her, thus saving his satire
family.

()I CNEAL GNAW! IN Naw Yost—Very many

'easy sensible working people grasped the general's band
with slivers and painful viva:, essaing bhn alseolate suf-
fering, and at times elicitiog rebuke. Others made little
