The Royal Adelaide steamer, which put in here on
Sunday evening, landed at Cowes (and not at Plymouth,
as stated in yesterday's papers) the Captain, crew, and
passengers, 14 in number, of the schooner Gil Bias, of and
for London, from the coast of Africa, which the steamer
run into between eight and nine o'clock on Saturday even-
ing, as she was making for the Downs. The persons
saved conceived she hung by the rigging of her mainmast
on the steamer's bowsprit, and on being cleared would im-
mediately go down; they to save themselves leaped on
board the steamer, and believed the schooner sunk within
a few minutes; all were saved except a little black boy,
who was in the cabin, and supposed to have gone down
with the vessel. But report now says she was taken into
Ostend, with comparatively trifling damage, the parrots,
&c., alive and well, but not one word about the poor boy.
This day was launched a splendid new steamer, the
Gem, intended to run between Southampton and Cowes :
she is one of the most beautiful vessels White has buii.t ;
she is 110 feet in length, about 138 tons, drags five feet
water, is to have two engines of 25 horse power each, and
is expected to do the passage in fifty minutes.
