A large barque was observed this moron( standing in

stood out to sea. Under then circumstances the men
pulled off and kept the boat afloat some time. Another

TOTAL WRECK OP THS STEAMER DANZ.-
BURNING OF THE SHIP SIMLA, AND RESCUE
OP THE CREW. - _

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.
Despatches were received here to-day announc-
ing the total wreck of the Union Company's screw Ammer
Dane on Cape Reed*, sear Alps Bay, on the morning of
the let December last. The vessel was completely knocked
to pieces, and the cargo, which was of a very valuable
description. is likely to become a total loss, as the wind,
which was blowing strong from the land, was carrying it
out to sea. Notwithstanding the severe state of the
weather and the heavy sea that was running, the crew and
passengers were all saved sod landed is safety at rilgos Ban
We also learn today of the destruction by fire of the
splendid Etat Indiaman, Simla. It appears that the ship
Star of India, when in lat. 4 N. 100. 23 W. sighted the
Simla, mad observing thick clouds of smoke arising from
the ship, the captain at oom bore up, and es • nearer ap-
proach he discovered that the Simla was on fire. He at
once volunteered his amistance, which was only too gladly
accepted by the captain of the Simla. The Star of India theta
lay to for some hours, and after taking oe hosed the captain
sad crew of the burning ship, agsia stood os her coarse.
Half an hour bad scarcely elapsed after the Simla was
deserted when she burst into flames. It is believed that
the fire originated amongst some jute, which meditated •
part of the cargo. The crew of the Simla remained on
board the Star of India for several days, until, when off the
Cape of Good Haps, • French brio was overhauled, the
crew transferred and eventually landed in safety at
St. Helena.

LONDON FEVER AND THE RAlLWAYS.—Yesterday
at the meeting of the Marylebose vestry ; Mr. Church-
warden roland in the chest ; Dr. Whitmore', medial
officer of health, presented his monthly report and quo..
terly summary. On the subject of fever and smallpox, Dr.
Whitmore remarks—" A question which now engages the
anxious thoughts of all who are occupied with sanitary wort,
and which urgently demands legislative interference, is the
necessity of adopting measures for preventing the spread of
contagious diseases. To render compuleory the removal of
a fever stricken child or adult from his or her home, how.
ever wretched and miserable it may be, will
probably at the fret view appear unfeeling aad
arbitrary ; but that twenty (Aber parsons re-
sident in the same hones should be exposed to the
deadly influence of the poison which is destroying the cos
seems scarcely Ices cruel and unjust. The rapid pow* of
