SE.RIOUS COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.-7-The Royal Mail steam-ship
Canada, Captain Stone, from Boston, brought informa-
tion of the loss of two first-class Liverpool ships— the
Trade Wind, of New York, from Mobile to Liverpool,
and the Olympus, from Liverpool to Boston—with a
loss of 24 lives. No further particulars were received ;
but the arrival of the American ship Empire, from New
York this morning, has placed us in possession of a
more detailed account of the unfortunate disaster.
Captain Zeraga, reports having, on the Ist inst., in lat.
42 N., long. 58 W. - fallen in with the foremast of the
,Trade Wind, with one man upon it, who had been in
that position for six days, and all he had for nutriment
during that period was a small piece of tobacco. Capt.
Zeraga immediately lowered the boat, which being
manned, put off to the wreck, when the man swam off
to her. He reported that the unfortunate ships came in
collision at 10.30 p.m. on the 24th June, and that both
vessels had finally disappeared on the 25th, at 7 a.m.
He states that the first and second mates, with about
twenty hands and all the passengers of the Trade Wind,
got into the long-boat. The captain and several of the
crew of the Trade Wind were picked off pieces of the
wreck during the same evening by a barque bound to
the eastward. Two men took refuge on the foremast
with the man saved, but they died before relief came, of
exhaustion. The rescued man does not know how many
parties were saved from the Olympus, but immediately
after the collision the captain and crew jumped on bolrd
the Trade Wind. In a short time afterwards the captain
and four men endeavoured to return to their ship in the
Trade Wind's jolly boat, but the Olympus sank before
they reached her.
These are all the particulars at present known, but in
all
-probability the arrival of the Atlantic from New
York, due on Wednesday, will place full information in
our hands. The Olympus sailed from this port on the
23d May for Boston, with a general cargo, 24 passen-
gers, and 20 seamen, under the command of Captain
Wallace. . The Trade Wiwi, CEiptaiu .Smith, cleared
from Mobile on the sth June with a number of passen-
gers and 4,07 bales of cotton 04 frog)*
