under me, I let go my hold and dtopped into the boat,
a :suitor at the same time endeavouring to catch me. I
should think the fall was at least 15" feet. I was not
much hurt. I fell into the bottom of the boat.- I found
there aM. Jean Strybus, a Belgian, and one sailor.
pzed the second time.
The former told' me he was the only one
taved when the boat casi
Four other hailers, soon after reached the boat, and
got in, but by what means I cannot tell, as I was so
much exhausted- One- of them called out, • Cut the
rope or we -shall be lost.' It was quickly done by ono
of the parties in the boat. It immediately drifted
totem, when soon after we observed a person in the
water supporting himeelf upon two oars. The sailors
rowed towards him, and fortunately succeeded in getting
him in; it proved to ba Mr. Evans. This was no sooner
done than we saw another, and every human effort was
made to save him, but just as we got within a boat's
length, the poor creature sank. One of the men, Att-
wood, a very
"man''. men, seoniod most anxious to ap-
proach the ship," to do all he could to save more lives.
Some objected, fear g the steamer's magazine would
explode, and then tall
_ight be lost. We remained, hbve-
ever, within a short istatice of the burning ship, in the
hope of saving, oche
-er, I should think, two hours,
end although vie -1:6;uld distinctly observe the
poor creatures hudeyed together aft, and many on
the bows and bowsprit, vvo oid not perceive any in the
water. By this time the engines had ceased,
When all hope was gone, the moo prepared to pull to-
wards land, if possible. There were, I think, fire oars
on board. We finally lost sight of the ship about four
o'clock. I lay in the bottom of the boat in my night-
dress, covered with th blanket which I flung into the
boat previous to lowering myself; but hearing the men
say a sail would. be •serviceable, I immediately volun-
ered to give it une.which.ti*sl,
ladle? accepted, at once
rimed-lite a sail, and latfilteffe'- he Belgian, who was
sitting forward, then offered me a part of his cloak, and
two of the sailors carried me , afs for that purpose.
Daring the whole of this night one of the sailors steered,
as the sea was running very high. In the morning, as
we had but five bands, M. Strybus was requeste to
row, but he could not from 'weakness. I then pro-
posed his taking the helm, and as I can speak
French, the orders were
given by the men to me in
English, and transferred in French to M. Strybus,
to enable him to steer as they wished. About
nine o'clock we discovered, to our great joy, a sail,
and immediately the men pulled with redoubled vigour
towards her. She, however, appeared not to see us, and
kept her course. The sea was tolerably calm on the
Sunday, and the men continued to pull towards the east,
thereby hoping to reach the French coast. About
eleven or twelve the same night, the men observed a
brilliant revolving' light, and pulled vigorously towards
it for six hours; but as the sea was increasing in vio-
lence, they Seared to approach nearer, on account of the
cross swells. By this time the poor fellows were com-
pletely exhaneted, and natter.° could hold out no longer.
Seeing the condition we were in, M. Strybus said to me,
' You have reused their energies on two occasions,
try again.' I then cheered them on, but as their
hands were almost scarified from their laborious
exertions, it was almost impo3sible to do so. They, how-
ever, used another effort, and soon afterwards we ob-
served another light, in another direction; we did not
know what it was, but the men at once resolved to make
a last push, and shortly afterwards their exertions were
rewarded by reaching a Dutch galliot, the captain of
which, who had previously fallen in with the other boat,
kindly took us aboard, and at once made for Brest,where
we arrived at four o'clock on Monday afternoon. Alto-
gether, wo were thirty hours in the small boat, during
the whole of which anxious time there was nothing
either to eat or drink; but notwithstanding, the gallant
Fellows who had so laboriously exerted themselves to
save our lives uttered not a murmur. They were till
most kind and attentive to me throughout this trying
and distressing scene, but the fieeman, Attwood, parti-
cularly so; ho Eerily bound up my feet in handker-
chiefs, and placed something round my head, to protect
me as far as he was able from the inclemency of the
weather. Mr. Gould, who was saved in the first boat,was
also very kind and attentive to me after we had got on
board the galliot.. Our obligations to the family of the
Consul at Brest, and many other ladies, are great in-
deed. Immediately it was known we were on board,
clothing and every necessary was sent ain abundance,
and after we had somewhat recovered from our exhaus-
!ion, we were landed, and I and Mrs. Maclennan :and
child taken to the Consul's house, where we were most
hospitably received and attended to until our departure
for Morlaix. Our gratitude to the English Consul at
Havre is also due. He was most kind and attentive,
and, when we left, genercusly placed money at our dis-
posal. I cannot close without expressing my warmest
thanks to Captain Smith, his stewardess, and all on board
the Grand Turk steamer, who, during the bad passage
from Havre to Southampton, ware constant in their en-
deavours to make us as comfortable as possible under
existing circumstances..."
ROBT. NEILSON, OF HALEWOOD.
The `Liverpool Standard of yesterday says—" We
have read Mr. Noilson'a account of this melancholy
catastrophe, and also his letter, on behalf of Mr. Vincent,
to Captain Chappell, of the Mail Packet Company; and,
strange to say, we honour him more for what he has
concealed than for what he has made known. He has
nowhere told, what we know is true, the prominent part
which he himself bore in the scene of horrors; that his
moral courage sustained the true-hearted little midahip-
man in the performance of necessary duty; that his
coolness was invaluable in the securing and manalling
of the boat; and that his physical exertions and judicious
counsel contributed in no small degree to the happy de-
liverance in which we unfeignedly rejoice."
A aloe-

. volume would have to be written to chronicle the
incidents attending thisaPpalling calamity, and the per-
sonal experience and observations of each survivor. To
most of them it appeared as the operation of a frightful
dream, but events passed before their minds and impres-
sions were formed with a horrible distinctness and rapi-
dity which a lifetime will not obliterate.
The passengers and crew
lave been received at South-
ampton with every attention, commiseration, and sym-
pathy which their distressing case requires. The hearts
of many a family in Southampton leapt to-day for joy at
welcoming a husband or a father so nearly lost for ever.
The crow will be temporarily provided with necessaries
and
by the company, will no doubt soon obtain fresh
appointmouts in the West India mail servi
Hotel. It is
ce.
miss Smith remains at the Royal Geog
needless to say she has lost everything, and is, of course,
in o state of destitution. Immediately on her arrival
Mr. Andrews (the Mayor) called upon her, and in the
name of the committee, presented her with ten guineas,
e
with which to supply
her immediate wants in the way
of clothing and other neeteaearies. This assistance was
most, gratefully received and acknowledged.
Mr. Allen and Mr. Stoae, the engineers, have pro-
coe eteiheesi
company;toriondon
theiri evidenceinterviewavoa
f
will be most valuable,
and,
it is to be hoped, will give some idea of the origin
of the fire.
The most conflicting statements are given, and the
most contradictory opinions formed and advanced by the
survivors, nut only with reference to the primary cause
of the conflagration on board the Amazon, but also in
relation to several other important points.connected with
the discipline of the ship, the efforts that were made to
subdue the flames, and
many other matters. To nine
of these statements do WQ feel at liberty to give publi-
city, more than to state that all accounts unite in bear-
ing testimony to the gallant and self-sacrificing bravery
of the unfortunate "it
Ptsin Symons, whose orders, if
implicitly obeyed by e
0 CretV, there is reason to think,
would have provide t...d
for the safety of a far greater
number than those whose names are given as having
actually survived..
From obvious motives We preserve silence upon a
vast number of statements that are current, particularly
'as the matter is so uhortly to he the subject of a search-
ing and official investigation on the part of the court of
directors of the Royal Mail Steam Company. Oa that
occasion every one will have an opportunity of giving
evidence and of stating the facts as they occurred. From
the evidence that will be received the directors and the
public will, it is hoped, be able to form an opinion,
first, on the cause of the disaster _
i secondly, upon what
steps were taken, and how far acted upon, for subduing
the fire ; and when these efforts wore abandoned, what
course was adopted fur providing for the safety of the
162 souls who had embarked on board this stupendous
ship. To arrive at these :conclusions we trust the pas-
sengers, as well as the crew and servants of the com-
pany, will be examined.
We may add that all the unfortunate people who have
to-day arrived from Brest have an irepressien that other
boats, besides the two in which they were saved and the
one picked up by the Marsden, succeeded in safely
leaving the wreck. This supposition conforms to the
idea entertained by Mr, Glennie, as expressed in the
letter he-has published. we fervently hope that no long
time will, therefore elapse fore some tidings will be
heard, to relieve the terrible_ and. consuming anxiety of
relation
thole whose friends and s are now numbered
.
among the mining.

THREE BODIES FOUND IN THE Tee.mus.—Late on
Friday evening Mr. Baker held two inquests at the Town of
Ramsgate, Wapping, on bodies found in the River Thames.
In the first case, David Newland stated that on, Thursday
morning, about eleven o'clock, he was standing on the
wharf of the Gun-dock, when he saw the body of a lad,
about fourteen years of age, floating on the surface of the
river. The second case was that of a recently born infant,
whose body was found athwart the chain of the Abeedeen
steam-vessel, moored off the Aberdeen Company's Wharf,
on Friday morning, with a piece of red cloth tied round its
neck. The jury, in each case, returned a verdict of " Found
drowned." During the investigation, a juror stated that an-
other body had been- that .day found in the Thames, off

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF AT DEVONPORT
AND THE WRECK OF THE AMAZON.

In printing the following from our Devouport cor-
respondent we should observe that the scene of the wreck
must have been some 150 miles to the westward of Da-
venport; that the wind had abitted after the report of
the accident had reached the Commander-in-Chief; and
it was scarcely possible that the Hecate, steam-sloop,
could have made much way down Channel, or when the
wind shifted have been early enough to have rendered
any service. There would have been no risk, however,
incurred in sending. her; and the expense to the public
service, when weighed with the chances of saving one
life, or oven of gaining the smallest scrap of information,
ought not to have had a moment's consideration.
We must say—looking at the heavy responsibilities of
such en important post as that of Commander-in-Chief
of the great western port of England—it would be much
more satisfactory to the public, and, we doubt not, most
agreeable to the octogenarian Admiral, if this gallant
and distinguished veteran were permitted to retire from
active service. It is impossible to bear hardly upon such
an old officer as Sir John Ommanney, even though he
should fall into errors of omission or commissioo, o
should lack that vigour and discretion which character-
ised his earlier caner. •
" DEvorgranT, MONDAY.
" The readiness with which the French authorities at
Brest acceded to the request to send a steamer in search
of-any of the passengers and crew of the Amazon, who
might by possibility have escaped the fatal disaster which
betel that vessel on the night of the 4th inst., forms
contrast with the conduct of our own save! Commander-
in-Chief at Davenport; who, notwithstanding the urgent
appeal to render this justice to the, of humanity,
positively declined, or at least neglected this, as would
appear to every man, and especially a British sailor, kn.
perative duty. It is to be too much feared that the effort
might not have been crowned with success. We would
almost hope so for the sake of the national character, to
the Admiral; for, et,
say nothing of the feelings of though
the hope might have been a forlorn one, it certainly
might have been fairly cherished, and Sir John Om.

all was done that lay n
to conceive whence this indifference to the sufferings of
others, ,except in the fact that the Admiral's extreme
odvanced age has destroyed the necestary energy to
do what, we cannot but believe, his heart must have sug-
gested. There can be no excuse of want of means to
carry out this proper and laudable duty, as there were
at the time several Government steamers at Davenportele
available. The Hecate was lying in Barnpool ready for
sea, to say nothing of the steam-tenders or the several
advanced vessels in Harnoaze."—Emild
THE BLACKS or LAGOS.—It will
e be seen by the Lon-
don Gazette that Commodore Bra has notified his in-
tention to blockade Lagos and its adjacent djacent coast, in the
Bight of Benin. As we stated, on the arrival of the Har-
binger from the Cape, with the news of the affairs with
the blacks, the Commodore was collecting his squadron,

coast will, doubtlese p bring us important intelligence of

the operations of the squadron. The guns of tho cruisers
have by this time sounded the death knell of the vil-
la:lons traffic in human flesh and blood; and the tor-
tures and murders of millions of the human rata have
been in some measure avenged.
Commander Willieam savage (1830) died at Bromptcn-
row on the 11th inst., aged 70. He was midshipman in
the battle of Canaperdown, and was in receipt of a pension
for wounds. _ _

Commander Thomas I3elgrave (184 S), son-in-law of
Vice-Admiral ilacres, is to commission the hydra
steam-sloop at Sheerness.
THE 31IESERVED ISEATS.--PORTSMOUTII, TUESDAY.
—The survey of the Clarence-yard cn the preserved
meats still progresses. There is no improvement in the
quality—about ten cases in a hundred prove fit for food.
borne cases of other contractors supplies have also been
opened, and have been found deteriorated; but the con-
tents of the canisters were really beef, and not offal. It
is said that the Admiralty have determined to preserve
meats fer the navy at their'own establishment.

Mediterranean station, to the Ajax, 58, screw steamship,
at Cork; John Hill, to the Britannia, at Portsmouth,
fitting for the flag-ship on the Mediterranean station.
The whole of the warrant officers borne on shock at
Woolwich for harbour servieeyere examined to-day by
Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford, acting superinten-
dent, and a board of officers, as to their fitnesa for service
at sea. The warrant-officers were at the same time
inspected by Dr. 0. Evans, Senior Deputy-Inspector of
Hospitals and Fleets, and other medical officers, as to the
state of their health, in case they should be called upon
to serve in sea-going ships or steamers.
Tho Fury steam-sloop, Commander Edward Tatham,
broke two hawsers ou Saturday last, owing to the strong
gale which prevailed during the time she was having her
compasses adjusted, but Captain Johnson and her Com-
mander persevered,-and had the adjusting of the com-
passes satisfactorily completed on the same day.. The
vessel left Greenhithe early on Sunday morning, accom-
panied by the Zephyr steam-vessel, and the engines of the
Fury having been found to work remarkably well, she
brought up at the Nore for the night, and the engineers
of the factory at Woolwich returned in the Zephyr the
same evening.

The Zephyr steam vessel went up to Deptford on
Monday, and brought down the Torch steam-vessel to
Woolwich.

After the Dee steam-troop-ship had been paid off on
Saturday last, the petty officers and seamen who had
served in the vessel purchased a haudsome.silver snuff-
box of Mr. Westaway, and ordered the ample words
" H. West. Esq.," to be engraved upon it, and presented
it to their late commander. _

The officers of the Dee describe the mode of warfare
at the Cape to be very disheartening to the British sol-
diers, especially these placed on patrol duty. The Kafirs
are so active and daring that they venture within twenty
or thirty yards of the patrol and show themselves, but
in a position that they can drop down flat on the ground
the moment they see the musket brought to a level for
tiring at them, and in almost every instance escape being
touched by the ballets. The savages then start upon
their feet and run upon the patrols before they have time
to reload, and while the patrols strive to keep the Kafirs
at a distance with the bayonet, the latter jump about
with the agility of moneys, and close upon the patrols,
holding them by their belts while they stab them. The
most serviceable description of muskets to contend with
the Ketirs would be those loading at the breach, as they
would give the soldier more confidence, and avoid his
having to alter the defensive position of the
.bayonet
when loading. •
