PERILOUS POSITION OF DER
MAJESTY'S SHIP CONQUEROR.

From Nassau (Bahamas) we have advices to the
Ist. Tho Nassau Guardian of that date says
By the arrival to-day of the schooner William IL
Bell, Henry Bowe, master, we regret to learn the
:probable loss of her Majesty's line-of-battle ship
Conqueror, 101 guns, which occurred on Sunday
last, she having struck on a sunken rock on the east
of Rum Cay, and become embedded five feet on the
coral reef. Mr. Miller, an officer of the ill-fated
steamer, was despatched in the schooner to Nassau
for the purpose of obtaining assistance, and we un-
derstand the Bulldog will leave at 5 p.m. to-day for
the scene of the disaster. The captain was using
every exertion to get the vessel off. The Nimble
goes to Bermuda with despatches for the Admiral,
and the Steady will remain here for some time.
The Conqueror was on her way from Jamaica to
Bermuda, and had taken 1,100 marines on board,
besides her crew. The marines were transferred
to the St. George at Jamaica. We are sorry to
hear that there were several cases of yellow fever
on board the Challenger when the Nimble left.
The • Conqueror is a two decker screw ship of the
line, drawing about 34 feet of water. She is of
800 horse-power, and her speed averaged 104
knots an hour. She is of 3,224 tons burden,
carries 101 guns, and was built in 1855. Her
former station was the Mediterranean, and she is
one of the vessels recently sent to strengthen the
British North American fleet.
