MARIONET T_E THEATRE.

The Adelaide Gallery, converted for the occasion
into a beautiful theatre, was thronged last night by
a brilliant audience, ho testified by continuous ap-
plause and laughter their appreciation of the clever
performances of the " Marionettes" on their first public
appearance. The programme consisted of The _lla-
?lager's Room and Bombastes Furioso, played with
great discretion and energy, especially on the part of
Distaffina ; and a grand nautical ballet, entitled
Pauline. Unbounded approbation was bestowed in
the latter on a pas de deux, developing some.pirouettes,
which we defy Cerite to accomplish, and a hornpipe
brilliantly danced a la Flexmore. Between the
interlude and ballet the National Anthem was
sung by " the full strength of the com-
pany.' The illusion produced,' by the constel-
lation of those estimable personages engaged in this
loyal operation was complete, and the effect irresisti-
ble. Without for a moment desiring to abet filial in-
subordination, we counsel the juvenile members of
metropolitan households to insist on a visit to the
Adelaide Gallery, even though it be at the expense of
a general anti-parental strike. The seniors will, how-
ever, find no reason to repent their personal attend-
ance, for there is ample amusement fort;ci find l chnilddrneon

LONDON,

THE LOSS OF THE AMAZON.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY.—A public) meeting, nume-
rously- and respectably attended, was held to-day at noon
in the Guildhall of this town, for the purpose of corn-
general subscription, and to take such steps
com-
mencing g a
be deemed best for the relief of the suff.ners,
widows, and orplims of those lost by the distressing con-
flagration of the steam-ship Amazon.
Mr. R. Andrews (the Mayor) took the chair on the
occasion, this being the first public meeting over which
he has presided since a long and painful indisposition.
Ho was supported by Mr. Sheriff Blatch, Aldermen Lan-
kester, Laishley, Palk, and Bienvenue, by a number
of the members of the Council, and by many of the influ-
ential and wealthy inhabitants of Southampton. The
proceedings excited considerable interest.
Mr. Vincent, the midshipman of the Amazon; Mr.
Williamson, the chief steward; and several of the crew
were present. Mr. Vincent met with a most enthusiatic
greeting, and the others wore most warmly received by
the assemblage.
After the Mayor had explained the objects of the
meeting, in a speech which was greatly applauded, and
which referred to the calamity which has caused such
widespread sorrow and misery, the following letter from
the Hon. Colonel Phipps was road to the meeting by the
Town Clerk. It served as a reply to a communication
addressed by the Mayor soliciting a subscription from
her Majesty :

" Windsor Castle, Jan. 10, 1852.

" Dear Sir,—Before receiving your letter of yester-
day's date, I had been commanded by her Majesty the
Queen to make inquiries with respect to any ussistance
that it was proposed to extend to the unfortunate widows
and orphans of the sufferers in the late most awful de-
struction of the Amsz.m.
" I have this morning had the honour to submit your
letter to the Queen and the Prince, and I have received
the commands of her Dlnjesty and his Royal Highness
to acquaint you that, in the event of a public subscrip-
tion being opened for the relief of the families reduced
to distress by this fearful calamity, you aro authorized to
announce a subscription of 150/. upon the part of her
Majesty and his Royal Highness.
"Any information that you can give me as to the po-
sition in life and particular circumstances of any of
those who have unfortunately perished I shall be obliged
to you if you will communicate.
" Can you tell me anything of Mr. Vincent, whose
conduct has been so highly spoken of?
"Believe me, dear Sir, yours truly,
" C. B. Pinrrs.

" R. Andrews, Esq., Mayor of Southampton."
The reading of this letter was received with loud ex-
pressions of applause.
The subjoined, horn her Majesty's Attorney•Gcncral,
was also read at the meeting:—
" London, Jan. 10, 1852.
" My dear Mr. Mayor,—l regret very much that
owing to Monday next being the first day of term, I am
unable to take part in the meeting which is to take place
on Monday for the benefit of the widows and children of
the sufferers of the ill-fated Amazon.

" I beg to enclose you 10 guineas as my subscription
to the fund now being raised on their behalf.—l remain
yours faithfully,
"R. Andrews, Esq., Mayor." "A. E. COCKBURN.

namo on the list of subscribers to the fund for the relief
of the sufferers by the loss of the Amazon for 101. 108.?
" It is the intention of the West India Mail Company

doubt, you will receive official intimation.

the pleasing duty of communicating to you his intention
of subscribing 100 guineas towards the relief of the
sufferers by the loss of the Amazon.

name and his liberal donation at your meeting on Mon.
day ?—Believe me to remain very truly yours,
" Cum:l.Es E. MANCLES.

" R. Andrews, Esq."

Steam Navigation Company, was also made public:—
" Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company's Offices, London, Jan. 9.

their willingness to subscribe 1001. to the proposed fund.
" Very truly yours,
" B. M. Wirzco.x.
" To Richard Andrews, Esq., Mayor of
Southampton."
A letter was likewise read from Mr. Henry Livius,
Chaplain of the Orphan Asylum of Bristol, placing at
the disposal of the Mayor an admission into tho asylum,
vacant next quarter day, for one of the orphans left by
the Amazon. A letter was also received from the Com-
mittee of the Southampton Orphan Asylum, offering to

Besides the above a great many additional subscrip-
tions were announced at the close of the meeting, some
of greater, and others of less amount, but in the aggre-
gate reaching a considerable sum. The amount re-
ceived up to this evening is above 1,000 guineas, and it
is hoped that at least 10,000/. will be collected altogether,
as anything greatly short of that sum would bo insuffi-
cient to fully carry out the application of effectual and
lasting relief to the numerous widows and orphans
created by this lamentable calamity.
The Rev. Mr. FANSHAW moved the first resolution,
which was seconded by the Rev. THoatts ADKINS:-
" That this meeting, under a deep sense of the mys-
terious dispensation of Almighty God, by which so
many immortal beings have been suddenly cut off, de-
sires to express its Christian sympathies with the nu-
merous relatives of those who have perished in the late
disastrous loss of the Amazon, together with their
sincere desire to alleviate their sufferings, and at the
same time to unite with tho survivors in a strong
feeling of thankfulness for their merciful and wonder-
ful preservation."
The second resolution was moved by 1)r. BIILLAR,
and seconded by the Rev. Mr. RUSSELL. It is to this
effect:-
" That in order to mitigate the sufferings which the
loss of the Amazon has brought upon so many families,
the example so nobly set forth by her Most Gracious
Majesty and her Royal Consort be followed by this
meeting in now entering upon a subscription fur their
benefit, with every hope that it will be further adopted
by the country at large, especially being encouraged by
the generous manner in which the Royal Mail Steam
Packet Company., their chairman and directors, together
with the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and many
other influential and benevolent institutions and indivi-
duals, have responded to the call."
The Rev. JOHN GRANE moved the third resolution,
which was supported by Mr. GEORGE ATHERLEY:-
. " That a committee be formed to carry out the ob-
. . _

jects of this meeting."
Dr. DREW proposed the fourth resolution, which was
seconded by the Rev. Mr. GRAY, and curried with three
cheers for Mr. Vincent, and with three cheers for the
°tilt r survivors:—
" That this meeting desires to express its sym-
pathy with the survivors from the wreck of the Royal
Mail steam-ship Amazon, and their approbation
of the conduct of the surviving members of the crew,
especially of Mr. Vincent; they admire the coolness and
judgment displayed after leaving the burning vessel, and
they pray that the best blessings from the Almighty may
rest upon him, and that his future life may bo pros-
perous; and they hope that as ho has begun, so may he
continue a career of honour and usefulness in the im-
portant service to which he is devoted."
Mr. G. LAISHLEY proposed a vote of thanks to the
Mayor, with congratulations for his restoratian to
health, which was seconded by Mr. G. BORRETT.
The MAYOR having returned thanks, the proceedings
terminated, having occupied several hours.
A circular is to bo addressed to the mayors of every
town iu the United 41'109n1, iwriling them to endea-

your to obtain subscriptions towards the objects of the
committee. It is also proposed to seek the co-operation
of the ministers of the Gospel throughout the country,
with a view of sermons being preached and collections
made in every church and chapel of the various cities
and towns in every part of the kingdom.
The following is a list of the committee:--The Mayor,
the ministers of the various denominations, Colonel
Short, Mr. Mesterman, Captain Mangles (directors of
the Royal Mail Steam Company), Captain Barton,
R.N. (the company's superintendent at Southampton),
Mr. George Mills (engineer-in-chief of the company),
Mr. J. T. Duffell, Sir A. Cockburn, Mr. Willcox, M.P.,
Messrs. A. Lamb, S. Payne, C. Davies, Weblin, Abra-
ham, Blotch, Barling, Harman, Borrett, Cheeseman,
Stebbing. W. Randall, George Laishley, Anderson, H.
Powell, R. H. Perkins, Joseph Clark, Palk. Tucker,
Stebbey, Candy, Levy, Deacon, Captain Engledue,
Colonel Forbes, Admiral Ward, and other gentlemen.
The committee is to eit daily at Guildhall, Mr. Charles
E. Deacon, the town clerk, being appointed secretary.
To that gentleman it is requested that all communica-
tions bo addressed.

Mr. Glennie, one of the passengers saved by the Dutch
galliot Gertruida, and brought into Brost, gives the fol-
lowing account of his share in tl:e appalling scene:—
" I was the last person, I should think, to arrive on deck.
At that time they were attempting to lower some of
the starboard boats, and some of the larboard, I fancy,
wore already in the water. I remained for some time
looking round and seeing boats lowered from both sides
iu the greatest confusion. Presently I heard the captain
give an order to lower the larboard lifeboat, but the
answer was, ' She is on fire.' On going to see whether
this was the case, I found it was so. The captain then
ordered the starboard lifeboat to be lowered. Again the
answer was • She is on fire.' Just then I saw the only
remaining boat,except the two lifeboats reported to be
burning, being lowered, and, without waiting to ascer-
tain whether the second lifeboat was really on fire, I
heaved a rope over and slid down by it, with the inten-
tion of dropping into this boat as she cleared away
from the vessel. I did not succeed in this at-
tempt, and fell into the water. Happily the very
next wave brought her within reach of my arm,
and I got into her. As the steamer at this
time was proceeding before the wind very rapidly,
we were immediately swept behind. At the time
I slipped down the captain and another man were at the
wheel, and I saw Mr. Warburton, with whom I was
acquainted, but whom I had not perceived before, com-
pletely dressed, and walking quickly towards the star-
board lifeboat. In two or three minutes from the time I
leached the boat I again looked at the wreck. I saw
the captain and man still at the wheel; and Mr. War-
burton had returned and was standing beside them. That
was the last I saw of them. There were several other
persons on deck at the same time, and I thought I
descried one of the officers among them, judging from
the gold lace on his cap. Just then, being obliged to
make a breakwater of spars, in order to prevent our
being swamped, my attention eras turned away from
the wreck, and when I again saw it, which was perhaps
in the course of something more than half an hour,
there was nobody on deck, though two or three were
on the bowsprit; and the fire seemed to have spread
from stem to stere. The steamer at this time was
moving broadside towards us, and must have been
to windward, as the smoke came down upon us. We
were at first apprehensive she would run us down,
when suddenly she changed her course again, and we got
clear of her. We then began to pull, and soon lost sight
of her bull, and were only able to distinguish her posi-
tion by the strong light above and around her. About
three hours afterwards she blew up. From my own ob-
servation, and from information I collected from those
who effected their escape in the same boat with myself,
it appears beyond a doubt that, besides the three boats
already saved, three others got well off from the
vessel. Their several crews would probably act as we
did, viz., ran belore the wind; but perhaps they would
not observe that at about three o'clock in the morning
the wind got round to the north. In this case the said
tbooathtse, reouontnhinwgatadl,waanyds, if not picked up by some vessel,before the wind, would be driven
would in all probability make the north coast of Spain.
o
It also appeared to me that the captain and others loft
deck were collecting materials for making a raft, or
had devised some plan for their escape, should the star-
board lifeboat not be available; and, with this object in
view, I myself had assisted in removing some of the set-
tees aft."

There are a variety of rumours in Southampton about
Captain
Symons's unwillingness to go to sea in the Ama-
zon. It is an undoubted fact that he would much rather
theha ttvesmtaayzeom d at
Thohmisedethsiarne
he
expressed while dining atave taken the command of
the Royal George the day before he sailed. A friend
likewise wishing him good bye in Southampton Water
a few minutes before he sailed said jocosely, " Good
bye, Captain Symons, of the Amazon." He replied
sharply,i
No, I will not havet ;I am Captain of
the Orinoco" (one of the large steamers not yet com-
pleted). When Captain Symons took leave of the pilot
"
at the Needles he was depressed in spirits. He shook
hands with the pilot, and said, " Well, God bless you,
you have done your duty ; the responsibility now rests
on me." The truth was, Capt. Symons did net like the
Amazon because it was not
his ship,. and all sailors
are fanciful and superstitious ; but it is a libel on the
humanity and manliness of a truly brave, kind-hearted.
and honourable man to suppose that he had any doubts
as to the safety of the ship.
In fact, there is not the
slightest foundation for thinking so.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

---
Sir,—Deploring as I do, in common with tho popula-
tion of the whole kingdom, the dreadful fate of the pas-
sengers and crew of the unfortunate steam-packet
Amszon, and desirous that the public shall be enabled
to form a correct opinion of the means whereby to
avert a similar calamity, I feel it a duty to give, by
your favour, the widest circulation to the following
truths, in regard to which I challenge the most strict
investigation.

It is a startling fact, respecting the steam department
of the naval service, that vague theories have been con-
fidently adopted without trial, while the most successful
proofs have been rejected from crude theory—leading
not only to the misapplication of millions sterling, but
attended with the far greater evil of accumulating non-
effective ships of war, whose engines exceed the evapo-
rating power of their boilers by full 25 per cent., unless
indeed, the fires aro urged by nearly a double amount
of fuel, as compared with economical practice.
Doubtless the steam-packet Amazon was no exception
to this mode of equipment (the packets being under the
same superintendence); consequently, the engineers and
stokers of this now untried vessel, zealous in their duty,
used their best endeavours to effect a superior
passage. I
am confident in this opinion, from the calamity having
occurred shortly after the watch was relieved, previous
to which it is the notorious practice of stokers to make
and leave a good fire for their successors, by most waste-
fully throwing as much fuel into the furnaces as they
can hold.

^T
The inevitable result of such an injudicious proceed-
ing is, that the limited surface for the absorption of heat
is insufficient to prevent a large amount of dime from
arriving at the chimney, which becomes redhot, and,
though cased, radiates abundant heat to evolve resinous
gas from new pine planks, the vapours of which may
speedily ignite.
Overwhelmed as the Admiralty Board is, not only by
the official duties of that once most important office, but
the Transport Board, the Sick and Hurt Board, the
by the accession, in detail

dockyard*, and the minute details appertaining to foreign
