landed me at Dover. I made application to the owners'
agent, who furnished me with the means of coming to
London, and on the same evening I arrived in London,
and lost no time in reporting the loss of the ship to the
owners. I further declare that when the ship went down
the light on Beachy Head bore from N.E. by E., distant
about sixteen miles, and, to the best of my judgment, in
about twenty fathoms of water. I believe that every
person on board of her, with the exception of myself,
perished. I cannot account for the circumstance of the
ship foundering in the manner she did, otherwise than
upon the presumption that a butt end must have started,
either from her having struck upon a wreck, or from
some other cause unknown to me. And I, the said
Joseph Reed, do conscientiously believe the above state-
ment to be true, &e. (Signed) " JOSEPH REED."

From the ship's paliers-dePosited at the Shipping-
office, with which we have been favoured by the
officials, we learn the names of a portion of the
crew :

Mr. John Butterworth, aged 45, captain, of London.
Mr. William Walter Edge, aged 33, chief mate.
Mr. Charles Fitch, aged 23, second mate, of Little
Hedi ngh am .
Mr. Charles Bowditch, aged 20, third mate, of Lon-
don.
Mr. William Simpson, aged 20, fourth mate, of
Suffolk.
John Alexander, aged 23, carpenter, of Stromness.
James G. Brotherstone, aged 45, steward, of Dept-
ford.
James Brotherstone (son of above), aged 17, cuddy
servant, of Deptford.
Alfred Scarfflin, aged 23, cook, of Walton-on-Naze.
George Lopers, aged 31, sailmaker, of St. Helena.
James Burley, aged 26, seaman, of Kent.
James Marcus Harris, apprentice,
William Hartshorn, apprentice.
Edward Saxon Kendle, apprentice.

John Henry Sturtman, apprentice.
The remainder—thirty-two—were Lascars, who
had been brought from Calcutta on the ship's last
voyage, and whose names are not mentioned in the
ship's papers.
It is stated that the ship and cargo were insured
for a sum amounting to about 70,0001.

PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY EVENING.
The distressing fact of the total loss of the Dal-
housie, at 5 o'clock on Wednesday morning, off
Beachy-head, was telegraphed to Mr. B. Wilcocks,
emigration agent, this afternoon.
The Dalliousie, which left London on Thursday,
the 13th inst., was appointed to call at Plymouth
for passengers, several of whom are waiting here.
Their names are—Major Hawks, of 21, Doughty-
street, Mecklenburgh-square, London ; Mr. Ewart,
of Oldhousei Crawley, Sussex ; Captain Robert
Daniel, Mr. Beech and wife, of Bath ; Mrs. New-
man and child, of Penzance ; Miss Hills, of Graves-
end; Miss Castle, of Nottingham • Mr. J. Muir
Dome, of Liverpool ; Miss Macintosh and maid, of
Liverpool ; and John Prott3y, servant to Major
Hawks. Captain Daniel had on board property
worth 1,0001., and Major Hawks about 1001. The
others had little of any value in her. Mrs.
Newman is the wife of a master mariner, whom
she is about to join in the colonies. A special
interposition of Providence seems to have saved
the life of Miss Hills. On Friday, the 14th
instant, she was off Gravesend -in a boat, when the
Dalhousie was behind a steamtug going down the
river • the captain would not stop the ship, and
Miss hills was compelled to come on by land to
Plymouth. She reports that a Mr. Underwood
was, with his wife and two children, in another
boat which followed the Dalhousie. Mr. Under-
wood expressed his determination to employ a tug,
if necessary, to overtake the ship ; and, as nothing
has been heard of him since, it is very probable
that he overtook her, and with his fainily perished
in her when she foundered. The Dalhousie was
one of Fry and Davison's White Horse line of
packets. She belongs to Mr. John Allan, of Lead-
enhall-street, and was built at Moulmein in 1848,
of 756 tons register, and was commanded by Capt.
Butterworth, whose wife, it is feared, was on board.
In 1850 she left this port with Government emi-
grants for the Cape of Good Hope ; and in April,
1852, she sailed hence for Port Philip with general
passengers. On the present voyage she was laden
with a full general cargo, and bound to Sydney
direct, as she took only poop cabin passengers,
most of whom are at Plymouth. It is computed
that the total loss of life, passengers and crew in-
cluded, will be about 30 persons.
