parently eareistang assertiorn brings eat the reel facts.
Some passagers iadigcsatly assert that the eaptain not only
old act order the boats to be prepared, bat even interfered
to prevent the pssseagers from attemptissetra lower them,
and kept assuring everybody that their chance was
to stick q the vet. Bat a gentleman who was
saving everything he could against the aptain
made a tomfessioa that he distinctly heard the mann order
the boots to be got ready. The boats were tied up in
coverings. They had not even the plugs in them; and gnat
was the eastasion and mismanagement on the part of the
name arm who tried to lower them and sitnean them
The boat is the stained side, that is neat the land, was
cut away at one end, and the other end set loaned, so tits
people wen emptied oat of her. The other mad a few, hut
unaccountably proceeded to shore with one hall the number
she esiuld have held. As the yawl was rapidly settling
down, she heeled over so mak towards the lead side that
all thought she was going to upset ; bat La the set of wing
down she resumed her position, and the water hams boiling
and surging up. The few saved in tee rigging saw beneath
them many simples, husbands with their wives ia their arms,
drowning. The boats that put off from the shore were
afraid to some near. ani from this cowardly fear of having
their boats swamped by overloading, may lives were lost.
The Tarter arrived at Ponpatrick on Wednesd .y
!townie, about 8 °Wait; shout half-east five she hailed and
laid-to to the Prineens Royal, which left Liverpool on Tuesday.
Oa enterieg the semi-circular bay in which the quiet
little town of Portman& is situated, thou ea board the
Tartar caught sight of the wreck. The vessel appeared
at the time (near high-water) with her funnel about 15
tat out of the water, and all her masts standing. She lies
with her bows towards the land, about 150 yards from the
share; and, from her paeans and the nature of the coast,
it would seem as if she had been running right for the
land. The coset prostate a bold rocky outline, and could
not, If the night was anything like clear, have an out of
view at a much greater distaste* than from the lighthouse--
shalt 600 yards distant.
One of the most providential of the escapes which oc-
curred was made by a lady, who, for about three-quarten
of en tinr, hang oa by a rope attached to the rigging till
stse was ultimately received. on board one of the boats, is a
I state of great eidiatutiou. The following is the abstain of
the statement she makes: Shortly beton the vessel struck
de was on the main deck, and the is perfectly satisfied that
at the time there was no appearance of any fag.
diately after the rock was struck she ran down to the cabin,
and nand the lain leaping from their beds in a state
SI the greatest c Acernation. The panic which en-
sued it is impassion to describe ; and winch more
so was the wile which took place immediately
at:awards an the deco. Some rime, were prayine,
others uttering imprecations, others screaming. The lady
in question aseemaded in getting into the first boat that
was launched, but it almost immediately swamped. By
some means or other, she got hold of the helm of the
steamer ; but she had the greatest eiffiealty in maintaining
her position. Toe vain was swayed from one side to the
ether by the people ruthieguin a body to secure a place
in the boats ; the bailer, she thinks, new bunt; but per-
haps she has mistaken for thee the noise occasioned by the
escape of the pent-up air through toe skylights. Ultimately,
en end pas put to the tumultuous and painful scene by the
easel graduaely sinking beneath the aurface, namely, first
forward, and thea in the after part. Our informant was
.:ragged repeatedly under water, and this, combined with
her previous exhaustiou, tendered her almost quite et-
enmeteas ; so that she has no idea of what for some time
followed. however, when she again came to henna; she
found that she had steered hold of a rope attached to
the upper potion of the rigging, and fortunately shoo ate
&saved • cushion floating pest her, which she likewise
s.ised hold of. With this she experienced no great diffi-
culty in supporting herself, sad her usual composure re-
turned. See remained harbor by the rope, as above stated,
fir about these quarters of an hour, and at the end of that
time she was picked up by nue of the boats.
Among some of the melancholy eases which have come
to oar knowlege, one of the mist touching is that of a
young woman, who, unknown to her resell, had c-ne up
to Liverpool If see • dearly-loved brother, a sailor, pre-
vious to his proeridirg on a tonna voyage. After scram
relishing the object of hat van, she returned by the Orion
ant wig found to be among the drowned. Her brother
came to Portpatrick on Tuesday, to ascertain whether or
not she was eaf. ; and his fennel, and those of kis family,
on hearne his sister's untimely end, may be imagined.
At the time the vessel sunk, there wee about 31 hours'

fleod. Had it been low-water. it is probable that the loss of
life would net hays been nearly so great, as those ca board
amid have Jaen refuge on the peddle-bozos and gangway,
which would have been either eery near or above the tar-
Laos of the water. _ _

We and maid that an °Mr has been made to the Under-
writer', by en engineering firm in town, to raise the Orion ;
and no great difficulty is anticipated in accomplishing the
recovery of the ship and wags.
From the description of the peculiar tearing sensation and
sound proineed when she struck, titre is :tittle doubt a, to the
nature of the injuries the ship sustained. The sunken r
most have had a sharp angular point on the lath next the sea,
which caught the Orion on her storboard side forward of the
bilge, and literally tore her open lengthways, through
the extent of probably two or more of the compartments,
including the midthio one in which the engines are placed:
and the probability is, that had the ship's course been ten
feet farther seaward, the citastrophe would have been alto.
hither averted. Nor, cn the nth, r hand, would it have bees
at ail so serious bad she struck stem on, as, in that cue, the
foremost compartment alone would have been damaged and
filled, without impairing materially the;fLatative powers of
the other divisions of the ship.
The Orion was insured in the Underwriters' Room for
14,5001. ; and the Messrs. Burns have about en equal amount
covered by policies out of the Room. The estimated value
of the ship was stated in the policies at 30,0001. The Orion
we. built by she eminent firm of Curd and Company, at
Greenock, and was hunched in December, 1847. She was
700 toss burtheo, with large proportionate power to her
tonnage.
The procurator fiscal has been engaged these two days in
taking evidence, with a view to criminal proceedings being
taken in this extraordinary use. A remarkable ekes's-
stance is, that no alarm was given from the Orion when she
struck, or subsequently ; the bell was not rung, nor the shore
hailed. There were people up hen who saw the yawl pan the
lighthouse; had an alarm been given, boats from the shore
could have been alongside the easel some time before her own
boats were cleared away and in the water. Capt. Hawa,id. N ,
superintendent of the works, was the first who rut ived notice
of the event from one of his own men. He instantly went off in
the capacious harbour-boat, and was instrumental in saving
a number of lives. Other boats speedily followed ; and it
is probable that, had an immediate alarm been given, not a
life would have been last. There is but olio way to account
for this melancholy occurrenee, and that is, that the extras
ordinary finesses of the weather had produced a total neglect
of the most ordinary precautions. There is a strong
force of polies and coast-guard here for the protection of
property. There I a considerable amount of money en
board the vessel belonging to the passenger., and all the
cabin plate, worth 1,6001. An armed boat with police and
coest-gaard nun remains by the vessel through the night.
