been acted upon in Glasgow and Greenock. He con-
sidered that it would be very unfair to go out of their
way to make alterations, and he thought thatthey ought
to consider well how, for the sake of the war, they tres-
passed upon and broke through the established usages
of the country.
Mr. HANKEY hoped that hon. gentlemen would not
seriously divide upon this question, and believed that no
one had been wronged by the act of the Government ;
but that all whom it concerned had been made aware of
the facts of the case through the instrumentality of the
Custom-house officers. He thought too fine a distinc-
tion was drawn between sugar and molasses, and he
could not understand how it could be contended that
molasses were not looked upon in the light of sugar,
since they had always been considered in the schedules
as such.

Mr. HUME could not agree with the hon. member
for Peterborough, and considered that the Government
ought not to stand out against the alteration of the dates
suggested.

Mr. WILSON would not divide the house in its pre-
sent state on the subject (there being only 14 members
present), but would consent to the date standing as the
10th, instead as the Bth.

The resolution, as amended, was then agreed to, and
the house resumed.

Mr. FRENCH gave notice that, in going into Com-
mittee of Supply on Friday, he should put a question to
the right hon. baronet the First Lord of the Admiralty
as to the transport of the regiment of the Ist Royals by
the ship Andes.
The house then adjourned at half-past 5.

DREADFUL SIIIPWRECS AND LOSS OF
LIFE.

During the present year we have had to record a
series of melancholy shipwrecks, together with an awful
loss of life, but the loss of the American ship Powhattan,
which we are about to record, is more disastrous and
melancholy than anything that has come under our
notice for a length of time, 250 men, women, and
children having been swept into eternity—not one being
left to tell the tale—within a stone's•throw of land.

The details of the melancholy disaster are as follows :
The American ship Powhattan, Captain Meyers, from
Havre, a ship upwards of 15 years of age, made the
coast of America in a disabled state on the morning of
the 15th of April, during one of the momt fearful storms
in the memory of man, and, after baffling about for
hours under bare poles, the captain at last found himself
irretrievably entangled in the shoals about 12 miles below
Barnegat. It was observed by the anxious eye-witnesses
on shore that directly she struck she "hauled to the
wind," from which circumstance it was impossible for
;Iv of her passengers to leave without certain
death being the result. They, however, hoped for the
best. They trusted that the storm which had now
lasted so long must soon abate. During the long night
of Saturday and the whole of Sunday the unfortunates
—it is supposed some 250 in number—were seen clinging
to the leeward bulwarks of the ship, with the sea con-
tinually washing over them, and expecting death at the
rise of every succeeding wave. No assistance could be
offered to them, for the sea then ran so high that a boat
(if any had been at hand) would have been instantly
swamped. Between four and five o'clock on Sunday
afternoon the ship's bulwarks burst, and about 50 per-
sons at the same moment were washed overboard.
Mr. Jennings, the wreck master, with others, made
great efforts to save some of those who were in the
water, but in vain. The captain, too, was heard to
cry from the ship, "For God's sake save some of those
who are drowning." Every exertion was made, but
it was of no use ; and in all of the six bodies which the
wreck master succeeded in rescuing from the water
life was extinct. It was immediately after this that
the ship commenced going to pieces. No small boats
were to be procured, for the Government boats did not
arrive until all was over. About five o'clock the vessel
was completely broken up ; most of her passengers and
crew were drowned, but a few still survived, clinging to
pieces of the wreck. The shrieks of the dying rose even
above the roaring of the storm, which seemed to be in-
creasing rather than subsiding in fury. It was at this
moment that a huge wave was noticed rolling inwards ;
the dead and the dying were alike engulfed within it ;
and when it had passed over them there was not one
left alive of those passengers and crew of the ill-fated
Powhattan, who numbered 250 souls that same morning.
A singular fact connected with this is, that even the ship
itself was splintered into minute fragments, so that
scarcely a trace of her existence remained with the ex-
ception of the few pieces of the rigging that were washed
ashore. She was probably laden with heavy ballast, for
her hull is supposed to have sunk, otherwise some por-
tion of it must have been discovered.
More distressing even than such a sight as this to
those on shore was the sight of the beach next morning.
The storm had increased during the night, and the waves
cast up their dead far and near ; 26 men and two women
were discovered near the scene of the shipwreck, and
from Absecom (some 20 miles below) it is stated that
about 40 bodies—men, women, and children—were
washed ashore on that and on Brigantine beach, about a
quarter of a mile across the channel. They appeared
to have been Germans. They were much disfigured.
Twenty-eight of those found were decently buried at
Manahawkin amid the profound sensation that the
event caused in that village. Little had been col-
lected from the wreck to prove the identity of the
deceased persons. Some melancholy records, how-
ever, were saved, and are now in charge of Mr. Jen-
nings, the wreck master, at Manahawkin. About 35 pas-
sengers' boxes were washed ashore unbroken. Around
one man's waist a belt was clasped, containing s4o—his
all, probably—that he vainly sought to save. On this
belt the name of " G. Kilf" was engraved. Several of
the trunks bore respectively the initials " T. G.," " S.
G. ;" on another " R. Griffin" was written, and on an-
other " Philip Smith, for New York." A lady's ring
was found, with the initials " K. L." inscribed upon it.
When first discovered by Captain Jennings, of Long-
beach, which was on Sunday morning, the Powhattan
lay with her head to the south, the decks were crowded
with passengers, and the sea was making a clean breach
over her. The wind blowing a perfect gale from N.N.E.,
the waves ran mountains high, twisting the ship about
in the sand as ,if she were merely a cockboat. Seeing
the condition of the vessel, Captain Jennings, who is
stationed as a wreck master on the beach, sent all the
men who were at his command, though the snowstorm
was raging violently, to the Government-house, in
order to bring down the life-car and other wrecking
apparatus, and stood on the shore himself watching the
effects of the billows on the ill-fated vessel. Hour after
hour slipped by, but the men did not return with the
life-car. The vessel became more uneasy, and many
unfortunate people were swept off by the heavy surf.
About 5 o'clock p.m. one immense wave washed fully
100 persons overboard, who were carried away down the
beach by the under tow. Some of them came ashore,
and were picked up lifeless by Mr. Jennings, who
searched in vain amongst the number for a survivor, but
all had breathed their last before they reached the beach,
being awfully mangled by the force of the waves washing
them against the hull of the vessel and throwing them
with violence upon the beach.
At this time Captain Meyers, who was on the deck of
the Powhattan all this time, called out in a loud voice
to Mr. Jennings, entreating him to try and save some
of those who might be washed ashore. Capt. Jennings
replied that all those who came ashore were dead, and
that it was no use looking for them, as they were killed
before they got out of the water.
About 7 o'clock the ship's masts went by the board, and
almost immediately afterwards the hull burst in two, and

floating
pieces of the wreek, but in a few moments all had sunk
to rise alive no more. The beach was strewn with the
dead bodies of women and children, pieces of the wreck,
the baggage of the passengers, and empty casks. No-
thing remained to mark the spot !here the ill-fated 1

vessel had gone ashore, except surging waves beating
upon a fragment of the hull which lay upon the beach.
The cries of the drowning men and the shrieking of
the woman and children were hushed—all lay in the
deep, numbered with the dead, while the wind wailed
loud and mournfully, adding still more horror to the
awful catastrophe. All had sunk—captain, officers,
crew, and passengers-250 persons—not a soul was left
to tell the tale. No aid came from the Government-
house that night, and Captain Jennings was compelled
to remain there by himself, a lonely watcher of the dead.
On Monday morning four men arrived from the station-
house, but their help came too late. The storm, it
seems, was so severe that while on their way back to the
wreck on Sunday, with the life car and mortar, two of
them fell down exhausted, and the whole party were
obliged to return, nearly frozen to death. This party of
men, under command of Captain Jennings, set imme•
diately about finding and gathering together those bodies
that had been washed ashore. In the short space of an
hour nearly twenty women and children were found,
almost naked, scattered along the beach, some of them
dreadfully bruised and cut.

One man was found about fifty yards from the beach,
upon the sandhills, with a child in his arms ; and from
his condition it is supposed that he alone of all on board
reached the shore alive, and, crawling out of reach of the
waves in order to save his own life and that of the infant
in his arms, fell down exhausted on the sand, and was
frozen to death during the night. The child was firmly
locked in his arms, quite dead, and appeared as if it had
also died ashore from exposure.
Captain Jennings, the wreck master, had furnished
the following account of the distressing occurrence to
the New York papers :
" On Saturday the wind blew with great violence
from the N.E. The sea ran very high all day, and I
supposed that there would be many wrecks along the
coast from Barnegat to Fagg Harbour. On Sunday
morning I observed a ship of about 900 tons thumping
on the bar, about 100 yards from the shore. I imme-
diately sent those men who were with me to the Govern-
ment station-house, distant about six miles, for the life
car and mortar, and other wrecking apparatus. During
the day the ship's deck was crowded with passengers, and
when the surf ran out I could get within 75 yards of the
vessel, which I found out to be the ship Powhattan, of
Baltimore, Captain Meyers, on her voyage from Havre
to New York. The surf ran mountains high ; indeed, I
never saw such a sea in all my life. Several persons
now began to be swept overboard, when Captain Meyers
hailed me through his speaking trumpet and asked me
for God's sake to try and save some of those who might
happen to be washed ashore. I told him I had been
down the beach to where the bodies came on shore,
but found them all dead, and it was of no use trying to
save them, as they were all drowned before they got
half way to the beach. Captain Meyers asked me just
before this if any aid would soon reach them. I said I
hoped so, as four men had been sent down to the Go-
vernment station for that purpose. Captain Meyers
again called out to me save any of those who might be
washed ashore alive. I replied that I would see to it,
and went down about 200 yards on the beach, where
the bodies were being washed on shore. Women and
children came on shore first. The vessel then lay E.S.E.,
and had shifted from the N.E. Her foremast was gone
at this time. I suppose she lost it before she struck on
the bar. About 5 o'clock p.m. on Sunday the ship
keeled over to windward from the shore. The sea, then
of course, made a clean breach over her, and passengers
began to be washed off in great numbers. The sea
running mountains high and completely hiding the
vessel from my view, I could no longer hold any
communication with the captain. I never saw him
after. The main and mizen masts soon went by
the board, and bodies appeared floating in the surf in
great numbers. Some 25 dead bodies, mostly women,
came on shore about a mile south of the wreck. About
dark the sea rose to a great height, and one large wave,
fully 50 feet high, struck the unfortunate vessel, and in
one moment the hull was scattered into fragments, which
tossed wildly through the surf. The shrieks of the
drowning creatures were melancholy indeed, but I could
render them no aid, as the sea ran so high I could not
get near the unfortunate people. In a few moments all
disappeared beneath the surface of the water, except a
few fragments of the wreck. Never did I see such a
sight in my life. Never do I remember witnessing
such a dreadful gale or such a high-running sea. In
nsilaannd, y

i
the bay behind it. The men got back the next morning
from the Government station-house with a lifeboat,
cuobt,
mortar, and the usual wrecking apparatus, but it was
too late, as all on board the ill-fated Powhattan had
perished—not one remaining to tell the fearful tale.
None of the crew or officers of the vessel came ashore,
which is rather a curious fact ; but I think they will be
found some 10 or 15 miles further down the beach. The
luggage and portions of the wreck lay scattered along
the beach. I have collected all the valuables I could,
and have found some money ($80) in a money-belt be-
longing to some of the passengers. The friends and
relatives of the deceased can have all the necessary in-
formation regarding the effects of those drowned by in-
quiring for me at Mauahawkin, New Jersey."
Another vessel, a coasting schooner, named the Man-
hattan, ran ashore about half a mile below the scene of the
Powhattan's wreck, and out of a crew of nine men one
alone was saved, and he was thrown violently into the
surf, and was washed ashore perfectly insensible. He
was found on the beach in this condition, and was taken
into an adjoining cottage, but was not restored to con-
sciousness until eight hours afterwards. Another man
found dead near the spot was supposed to be one of the
same crew. The survivor says that when the ship ran
aground it would have been practicable for the men to
jump off the bowsprit, and thus save themselves—in
fact, the captain ordered them to do this—but, paralysed
by fear, they crowded to the stern, and were washed
overboard with the captain by the sweep of a single
wave, and all perished. The schooner itself was com-
pletely wrecked.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)

MANCHESTER, May 9.—We have still to report a
somewhat drooping tendency in our market. The pur-
chases in Allt departments have been unimportant ; and
the general bias of prices has been rather against sellers.
In the yarn department, 16's to 24's water, is too well
engaged to show this tendency in any sensible degree,
which, however, is feat in mule yarns, in 30s water, and
in warps ; yet, any change there may be is but small.
The recovery of lc, per lb in the price of middling cotton
at New Orleans (from 71c. to B}c.) and the show of a
little more firmness in Liverpool produces no effect in
our market.

HALIFAx, May 6.—But few goods have changed
hands in our piece hall to-day, and prices are almost
nominal. In the yarn and wool markets, there is no
noticeable alteration.
ROCHDALE, May B.—We have had a still market
to-day, with very little doing. The London wool sales,
which open this week (Thursday), have had considerable
influence over both merchants and manufacturers
in limiting their operations, as both are wishful to know
which way the price of the raw material may turn be-
fore they enter into any new contracts.
UDDERSFIELD, May 9.—ln the cloth-hall business has
been very flat, and, with the exception of about half a
dozen warehouses, verylittle has been done out of the hall.
BIRMINGHAM, May B.—Reports were in circulation
during the last week that an advance in the prices of
finished iron to the extent of 20s. per ton, had been de-
clared on the lst of the month by some of the leading
makers of the district, but we cannot learn that such is
actually the fact. The position of the trade generally is
unusually sound and healthy, being entirely free from
all speculative transactions.

AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE MARKETS.—
The weekly reviews from these markets mention that
operations have been on a more extensive scale. In
coffee the increase of business had established a slight
advance. Sugar, raw and refined, had been more freely
purchased, and quotatians exhibited firmness. No ma-
terial alteration bad occurred in rice. Tea and indigo
were supported with steadiness.

" Gratefhl for the benefit I have derived from Du Barry's Revs.

thanks for the Invariable kindness I have met with at your hands.
My case is an extra mllnary one, and as it may benefit other suf-
ferers I think it but right to place its details at your disposal. I
have suffered these 33 years continually from diseased lungs, spitting
deafness, singing in the ears, cousti-
of blood, liver derangements,
pation, debility, shortness of breath and cough, and during that
period taken so much medicine that I can safely say have laid oat
upwards of a thousand pounds at the chemist's and doctor's. I have
actually worn out two medical men during my ailments without find •
ing any improvement in my health. Indeed I was in utter despair,
and never expected to get ever it, when I was fortunate enough to
become acquainted with your Revalenta Arabica, which, Heaven be
praised, restored me to a state of health which long since despaired
of attaining. My lungs, liver, stomach, head, and ears are all right,
my hearing perfect, and my recovery is a marvel to all my acquain-

BETTING—TUESDAY NIGHT.

The subscription room at the Royal Hotel was well
thronged until midnight, and business on the Chester Cup
was carried on with eager earnestness, but owing to the
variety of fluctuations which took place we cannot vouch
for the accur:cy of the following quotations.
It was, however, quite clear at the close that Acrobat
was the leading favourite ; the agff°reate amount of invest-
ments at 12, 11, and 10 to 1 was heavy. Jack Frost was
in immense force—from 25 he sprung to 15 to 1 "in no
time," and had an upward tendency at the finish. Ald-
ford oscillated between 13 and 10 to 1. Indian Warrior
advanced steadily. Domino's performance for the Wynn-
stay Handicap somewhat encouraged his backers, but un-
der a strong impression that Cobnut might, after all, be
preferred to do battle for his party, the latter received
considerable support, at prices varying from 33 to 20 to 1,
and various bets were made betwen him and Domino.
Numerous small sums were booked about Peggy at 20 to
1. Newrninster, notwithstanding his arrival and reported
fitness, was still so strongly opposed that at one time 1,000
to 20 was laid against him.
Very little done about Baalbec, Dr. O'Toole, Joe Miller,
and Epaminondas. Star of Surrey was quite behind a
cloud.
