mask, arrived in the Sound this morning at 3 o'clock, is
to. of her Majesty's steamer Argos, Commander H. J.
Ingram, one of the meals mint out to search for her. The
Bombay is a complete wreck so far as her meats, rigging,
top gear and deck fittings are concerned, and .bat is worse,
these disitaten have been attended with the loss of 13 line,
12 men haring been drowned (11 seamen and the first mate),
end one accidentally killed by the fall of a portion of the
rigging. These all belonged to the mew. The troops gene-
rally are healthy, with the ezeeptioo of some few men ill of

abets sad 34 men of 7th Dragoon Our& ; Ensign A. S.
Gilbert and 13 men of 33rd, 61 men 71st Highlanders, 67
gunners of !Loyal Artillery. The suffsringe and privations
experienced by these gallant fellows since the wreck on the
16th ult. most have been very greet, and their conduct
under the judicious command of Captain Steel is meet credit-
able to him and to them, and was in all probability the
anew of savior the ship from becoming en entire wreck.
Captain Steal, of the 17th Luaus, was the senior taker
a charge of troop, ell the other allows being very youag,
end meet of the INS are inexperienced. The charge of
maistainfog discipline and order was therefore awn thee
estrily great; bat NO& &eel, by hie example and orders,
was enabled to render tbe soldiers very useful in assisting in
working the ship An the calamity. Captain Steel natal
that fora fortnight be never took off hie clothes to go to bed,
but always lay dreamt reedy for any emergency, and com-
plains that sufficient efforts were not made to get into Cork,
off which harbor the ship was within fifteen milee on the
afternoon of the 10th. Had the vessel put in to take the
additional coupe, as was intended, she would have escaped
the fearful gale, and ell would have been safe. On the 16th,
when the forstongellaatentaat went by the board, the weather
wu very severe, end the condition of the rigging Me Y net
to make the accident earprielsg. On the 17,h they pried a
"tamer, bat did not speak, and Captain Flemish
did not caws the signal of distress to be hoisted. No other
steamer came within signal distance before, the Argues.
Captain Steel further complains that after the Snit accident
ex days were allowed to pass before the jurymans were
rigged. During this period irtnighing might have bees dun
On the evening of the 23rd the hurricane wee very severe ;
the whip would not answer the helm, and the foremen west

night the forma the weather so isseensal that she was cots-
pelted to leave. They did not afterward" fall in with
any ship sufficillegly large to render any satistance.
Captain Vietminh sti declined to have the signal of distress
exhibited until Caput Steal, in the pressace of ell the
taxers, expostulated with him, and said be felt bound, the
°barge devolving an him as the senior officer of the troops,
and in considered= of the many men on bard, to protest
spinet permitting another chance of relief to pass Imi:hal-
berd. The distress signal was then elevated, end the ship
