under me, I let go my hold end dropped into the boat,
a sailor 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 ono sailor.
The forrier toll me he was the only one
saved when the boat capsized the second time.
Four other sailors 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 one
of the pandas in the boat. It immediately drifted
astern, when soon after we observed a person in the
water aupporting himself upon two oars. The sailors
rowed towa—•ds him, and fortunately succeeded in getting
him in; it proved to be 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 humane man, seemed most anxious to ap-
proach the ship, to do all he could to save more lives.
Some objected, fearing the steamer's magazine would
explode, aria then all might be lost. We remained, how-
ever, withitiau short distance of the burning ship, in the
hope of saving others, for, I should think, two hours,
and although we could distinctly observe the
poor ereatueres huddled together aft,
and many on
the bows at id bowsprit, we did not perceive any in the
water. By this time the engines bad ceased,
When all hope W[l3 gone, the teen prepared to pull to•
wards land, if possible. There were, I think, five oars
on board. We finally lost sight of the ship about four

sitting forward, then of me a
part of his cloak, and
two of the sailors carried me aft for that purpose.
During the Nvholo of this night one of the sailors steered,
us the sea vas running very high. In the morning, us
we had but five hands, M. Strybus was requested to
row, but he could not from weakness. I then pro-
posed his taking tho helm, and as I can speak

thereby hopilig to reach the French coast. About
eleven or tvv elve the same night, the men observed a
brilliant revadving light, and pulled vigorously towards
it for six hears; but as the sea was increasing in vio-
lence, they leered to approach nearer, on account of the
cross swells.. By this time the poor fellows were com-
pletely exhiarteted, and nature could hold out no longer.

exertions, it was almost impossible to do so. They, how-

s-rved ane lier 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 patch garnet, 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, We: were thirty hours in the small boat, during
the whole of which anxious time there was nothing
either to cut or drink; but notwithstanding, the gallant
fellows who had so laboriously exerted themselves to
save our lives uttered not a murmur. They were all
moat kind and attentive to me throughout this trying
and distre sting scene, but the fireman, Attwood, parti-
cularly a); he kindly 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. Xr. Gould, who was saved in the first boat,was
also very kind and attentive to me after we had got on
board the trilliot. Our obligations to the family of the
Consul at Brest, and many other ladies, are great in-
deed. hum edietely it was known we were on board,
clothing anal every necessery was sent off in abundance,
and after we had somewhat recovered from our exhaus-
tion, 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 Morlakx. Our gratitude to the English Consul at
Havre is also due. He was most kind and attentive,
and, when we left, generously 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, were constant in their en-
deavours to make us as comfortable as possible under
existing circumstances."

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 13.—The transactions in wheat
and flour at our Corn Exchange this morning were
limited, but the full rates of this day se'nnight were
obtained; there were buyers of both articles, if a small
concession in price would have been made. Indian
corn improved 6d per quarter. Oats also brought an
advance of ld per bushel, and oatmeal of 6d per load.
Barley, beans, and peas commanded full value.

MR. ROBT. NEILSON, OF HALEWOOD.
The Liti2rpool Standard of yesterday BsYs—" We
have read Mr. Neilsea's 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 ho 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 midship-
man in the performance of necessary duty; that his
coolness Was invaluable in the securing and managing
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 volume would have to be written to chronicle the
incidents attending this appalling calamity, and the per-
sonal experience and observations of each survivor. To
most of them it appeared as the operation of a frightful
dream, bat 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 crow have 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 crew will be temporarily
provided wish necessaries
by the cornpany, and will no doubt soon obtain fresh
appointments in the West India mail service.

NAVAL INTEJ LLIGENCE.

THE COM MANDER-IN-Cl3 EIEF AT DEVONPORT
AND THE WRECK 0 E THE AMAZON.

In printing the following f 'rem our Dewenport cor-
respondent we should observe' bat the scene of the wreck
must have been some 150 mile ; to the westward of Da-
venport; that the wind had a hilted after the report of
the accident had reached the C!c mmander-in Chief; and
it was scarcely possible that the Hecate, steam-sloop,
could have made much way do w n Channel, or when the
wind shifted have been early e hough to have rendered
any service. There would has been no risk, however,
incurred in sending her; and tl vs expense to the public
service, when weighed with th si chances of saving one
lies, or even of gaining the ma) Vest scrap of information,
ought not to have had a 13308161, i 's consideration.
We must say—looking at th. heavy responsibilities of
snob an important post as that of Commander-in-Chief
of the great western port of Be F;land—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 tto bear hardly upon such
an old officer as Sir John Om xnanney, even though he
should full into errors of omi esion or commission, or
should lack that vigour and disc ration which character-
ised his earlier career.
