HA Mary, Stockbridge (three of the four survivors),
=ether seaman named Davis, and four or Ave passengers,
bed takc nto the forerleging. Previously they had placed
several women and children under the forecastle and in the
seek-house. so as to prevent their being mashed to death by
the heavy floating UMW* on deck. The cabins were washed
away, and these places were the only refuge left to the 'sol-
vents huddled together on the poop. These in the fore-
Mae, cook, and round-house, were speedily drowned by the
mm sweeping them overboard ; and the fen of the remainder
was evenly sealed. Within a abort time a teen& enrolled

MUM upon it and for a moment or so it floated like a raft.
Thu next se* however turned it over, and the living mass
were straggling In the agonies of death. Several managed
le regain the wreck but they were eventually washed away
and perished. Some thirty or forty, among whom were
several females, could be observed clinging to the 11 sting
packages of the cargo. These, too, shortly disappeared. Before
sight had set in the wreck had broken in two, and the rot
welch remained was the bows and the foremast to which the
survivors and others clang. Their dreadful suffering for
three days and nigh's, exposed to the most fearful weathcr
in the rigging, have bees already noticed.
This revenue cutters which had since arrived at Herwie":,
report that not a vestige of the wreck remain, the whole
led been swallowed up in the panda. As yet none of the
bedias have loses brought ashore. A greet number have
bees sin isaiss out. The fact of most of them being
naked, hods to the presumption that they had been pre.
Thu* picked up and stripped of their clothing. Many
were known to have large sums of money about their pa-
sess—some to the extent of 3001. and 4001.
A large master of wreckers were seen in the vicinity of
the wrack after the survivors had been taken off by the
Petard cutter, and with the "sceptical of some el the cargo
that has been landed at Ramsgate and Margate, no nisi r
portico has been reported to the modems. On the authority
of the meat-guard service, a desperate gang of wreckers infest
this pert of the toast.

ANTICIPATED REINFORCEMENTS FOIL INDIA.—
Yesterday orders were despatched from the Hone Guards to
the rakes district generals to suspend the resent orders for
the discharge of men from the army. This is owing to tt e
indecisive nature of the last India. Ann, as most probably
more troops will go to Bengal from this country, and thus
this service will absorb a portion of the contemplated reduc-
tion of 7,000 rank and file.
