WRECK OF THE TYNE.

We yesterday briefly announced the Iles of the above
fine vessel, since when we have received the following
additional intelligence :—lt appears that the Tyne expe-
rienced tremendous weather between St. Vincent and
Tenerifte. In the Bay of Biscay the wind shifted, but still
blew a gale. After leaving Lisbon, Ushant was seen, and
in proceeding up the channel, Portland was made out.
After that it was densely dark ; the steering must have gone
wrong, and the ship's course was pointed to the north of St.
Aldhan's head, in the isle of Purbeck, at a place called
Chapman's cove, or pool, at which she went ashore with
tremendous force. A very heavy surf was running which
broke over the ship while she lay broadside to
Immediately all on board were on deck. Every boat was
lowered, but when they once got away they could not
approach the ship oo account of the raging surf. A pilot
came off with difficulty, and reported that it was low water,
and that the Tyne would again float if she were not toe
much knocked about. As there was no immediate danger
of loss of life, Lieutenant Fuge, the Admiralty agent,
determined to save the mails. With great difficulty he got
in'o the gig, which was one of the boats that had been
lowered. In the desperate endeavour to get alongside
the steamer to obtain the mails, the boat was dashed
against the ship, and Lieutenant Fuge was struck
on his head, which was immediately covered
with blood : he aW) commenced spitting blood. A
youth in the beat also had a finger torn off. The gig was
oblie-ed to get off with only a portion of the mails on board;
in getting ashore, however, the gig was swamped, and the
persons in her and the mails were rescued by the revenue
cutter. They were landed at about 7.30 a.m., near the
residence of Mr. Jackson. the agent of Lord Eldon, in the
Isle of Purbeck. The youthful lord and his sisters hap-
pened to he staying there, and came down to the coast to
render assistance. Lieutenant I've stood upon a cliff when
he landed, and he could see that the boats could hot approach
the ship, that she had clewed round, and he could hear the
escape of the steam. From that circumstance it was con-
jectured that all attempts to back the ship had failed, and
that she had probable been bilged. The only passenger
who landed with the Admiralty agent and the mails was
Captain Otway, R.N. He was not injured. The Earl of
Eldon and Mr. Jackson provi led a. cart, and sent Lieut.
Fuge and Captain Otway, with the portion of the mails,
that was saved, on to Wareham, where they arrived juS

too late for the 10 a.m. train.
A correspondent, writing from Southampton on Tuesdal
night, says :—" A number of the passengers of the Tin°
arrived here by the 7 p.m. train from Wareham. There je
not much doubt but that the whole of the passengers, the
mails, and the specie have been landed. It is expected also
that the crew and officers have landed by this time, as the
coastguardmen who boarded the Tyne declare that it would
not be safe for any one to remain on board after dark. The
passengers hope that some of their baggage and propel
will be saved. The passengers who arrived here by the
p.m. train were conveyed across the isle of Purbeck in Loa
Eldon's carriage, which he had kindly lent to them. AI
omnibus was to be sent from Wareham to fetch the rest
the mails, and they will probably reach here in the coolie
of the night. The £lO,OOO worth of c chineal on bo3rilA
will, it is expected, be spoilt. The Tyne now lies high ellu
dry; her boilers are lifted, owing to the ship bumpill
about, and it is thought that it will be impossible to
save her. The captain declares that he will stick t!
her to the last. When the passengers landed, which
was about three p.m, none of the steamers sent fro!!
Southampton and Portsmouth to assist t 'e Tyne were w
sight. The fore part of the steamer was Miff full of water,
The passengers declare that when the vessel went 901
the night was intensely dark, owing to a dense fog ;
the ship was going at quarter speed, and could not v",
brought to an anchor, and that a slight deviation of abott
four hundred yards in the steering would have cleared the
point, and would have enabled the Tyne to reach Southall:lP;
ton in safety. The captain and all his officers, who were
on deck keeping watch at the time the steamer ran ashore;
say it was impossible to prevent the accident, and that!,
one is to blame, The passengers who have arrived here
were saved in the life boat."
The following has been received by telegraph :-13
remaining portion of the Tyne's mails has just arriyee4,
and has been despatched to London. It was brought he',
in charge of the second officer, and was conveyed frail,

who left Sonthamptorl-yesterday with tugs to render aselt,
ante, arrived at the scene of the wreck, and is now, with I"
commander of the Tyne and all his officers and crew, at,
seat of Lord Eldon, clOse by the scene of the wreck. Allthe
passengers left the Isle of Purbeck last night. Lord 1%114
entertained upwards of one hundred officers and salt,
yesterday and furnished them with a lodging for the nigto
All the officers of the Tyne dined with his lordship, asp
he gave up to them his wardrobe. There cannot be ,nub
doubt but that all the mails, diamonds, and gold on botil
have been saved. The coast guardiman wTio loet P
life was drowned in the rolling surf. His wife II:'4
been distinguished for her zeal and kindness in feeto
and attending to some of the poor frost bitten sal'
of the Tyne. She was completely prostrated when Se
heard of the loss of her husband. The officers and P.os
sengers of the Tyne have resolved to make a subscriptio
for her. The two lionesses on board, the Tyne are I`.ol
alive. Some live fowls were given to them just preliet
to the ship being forsaken. The Tyne hangs to; to
well, and there is some hope ofher being got off if the 'po
moderates. All the store rooms are filled with water, °co
numbers of men would have perished for want of food, If
had not been for the hospitality of. Lord Eldon."

of that Christian civilization, are all precious boons °hid
