LOSS of the CITY of GLASGOW STEAM-PACKET.

" LlvEnroor., Oc T. 2l.—We regret to state, that the City
if Glasgow steam-packet, in coming out of Douglas Harbour
on Wednesday night last, was struck with a heavy squall,
which drove her on a ledge of rocks at the entrance of the har-
bour, where she lies dry at low water. The crew and passen-
gers were all saved."
A second edition of the Liverpool Mercury contains the fol-
lowing additional particulars, partly extracted from the 21fanks
Advertiser of Thursday, which says---" The City of Glasgow,
Captain Carlyle, left Greenock about one o'clock on Tues-
day last, and after encountering the violent storm of that
night, arrived in this bay yesterday Afternoon, about four
o'clock, with her machinery considerably injured, part of
which was sent on shore to be repaired. About midnight she
attempted to proceed on her voyage to Liverpool, but owing to
the machinery_ not being properly put in order, her engine
would not work ; her anchors were then let go, but such was
the violence of the wind (which veering from the north-west
to south-east, blew for about two hours from that point a
complete hurricane) that the vessel drifted upon the rocks
at the entrance of the harbour, where, we are sorry to say,
she sustained very considerable damage. The packet im-
mediately after listed to port : and her side was stove in.
Just before she struck, we understand that Sir William Hi-
lary, apprehending the danger to which she would he ex-
posed, and which has been unhappily verified, offered twenty
pounds to any of the boats that would go out and take a line
to her ; but such was the sea at the mouth of the harbour, that
not one dared to venture out. A line was after some time got
on shore, but all attempts to get her ofF proved fruitless.—
Hopes, however, are entertained that she will be got into port
this evening's tide. It was with great difficulty that the pas-
sengers were landed from the packet, one of the boats being up-
set on reachihg the shore, owing to the violence of the surf, but
we are happy to add. that no lives were lost."
We have since (says the Liverpool lifcreury) received the
following letter, containing some additional particulars, from
a passenger on board the vessel, which, it appears, will be a
total wreck :
"TO THE EDITORS OF THE LIVERPOOL 3IERCURY.'
" Gentlemen—l write in haste to inform you of the wreck of
the City of Glasgow last night. We struck on a rock at half-
past eleven, and remained in the most perilous situation till
five this morning. Passengers all safe—vessel total wreck. I
write this principally to say no blame can be imputed to Cap-
tain Carlyle; nor can too much praise be iven to Sir William
Hilary, who himself came in a boat, whem.no boatmen would
stir to rescue the suffering passengers, who, in that situation,
were exposed, every moment expecting our last, until five
o'clock this morning. 1 can scarcely hold my pen.
" Yours, &c.
" R. S. CORE, passenger, 5, Dover-street, Liverpool.
