he did on Saturday, and the selection of songs ' op°
mirable. Besides many of the old favourites, wbic-006

LOSS of the TWEED CONFIRMED.
SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING.
The Avon Royal mail steam-ship, Captain Norton,
arrised in Cowes Roads last night at ten o'clock, and
it is lamentable to announce that she brings con-
firmatory intelligence of the total loss of the Tweed
on the reef of Alacranes, as previously announced in
The Sun.

It appears that there are seventy-two passengers
and crew lost, and seventy-nine saved, a list of both
of which will be found below.
After the vessel struck, which, it appears, was on
the 12th of February, at half-past three A. 51., the
survivors, by various means, got on to the reef. They
remained there for some hours, and at five o'clock
on the first day, one of the boats having been
got ready, the first officer, Mr. Ellison, with eleven
of the survivors, got into it, with the intention of
reaching the Campeachy shore, if possible. They
were, however, fortunate enough to fall in with the
Spanish brig Emilio, fifty-one miles from Sisal roads.
After landing them the brig again returned, and,
amidst much difficulty, succeeded in taking off several
others, with whom she departed for Perez. On the
following day the remainder left the reef in two
boats, brought by the Emilio, and got in safety to
Perez. The brig then-put off to Sisal, and, after
remaining there seven days, she was chartered for
Havannah, where she arrived on the 3d of March.
On the 11th the Avon, being at Havannah, left for
England, and, as previously stated, arrived in Cowes
Roads last night.
The ill-fated Tweed, after she struck on the Ala-
Cranes, went to pieces in the course of half-an-hour.
The survivors, who had contrived to reach the reef,
soon managed to collect sufficient timber to construct
a raft, upon which they remained up to their middles
In water the first night, after the tide bad made, in a
most painful state of anxiety.
Fortunately, sufficient provisions and wine were
saved to sustain the unfortunate creatures from perish-
ing by hunger ; they were, as a matter of course, used
in a very sparing manner.
The passengers saved speak in the highest terms
of admiration and praise of the conduct of Captain
Parsons throughout the whole of the trying scene.
He did everything it was possible to do to save those
unfortunates who have so untimely perished ; never
allowing his own share of the scanty provisions to
exceed that of his companions in wretchedness—.
never flagging for one moment in his endeavour to
render his valuable services available.

It appears there were only three female passengers,
all of whom were drowned.
The last five men on the wreck lashed themselves
together on a spar, and ultimately three of them
reached the shore in safety.

The Avon brings home seventy passengers, inde-
pendently of the survivors of the Tweed.
There was nothing stirring in particular in the
West Indies. The prospects of the crops are en-
couraging in the extreme.
__

The latest dates brought by the Avon are, Havan-
nab, March 11 ; Chagres, Feb. 26 ; Honduras, Feb.
20 ; Carthagena, Feb. 28 ; Jamaica, March 11; St.

badoes, March 12 ; Grenada, March 13 ; Porto Rico,
March 16 ; St. Thomas's, March 17 ; and Bermuda,
March 24.

board from Parana. She has also 135 cases of cigars,
13 serons of indigo, 50 live turtles, &c.
