SUICIDE OF CAPT. 141‘LEOD, OF THE GREAT
LIVERPOOL STEAMER.
SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING, SEVEN 0%..L0t,..
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Queet
Captain Russell, arrived this morning at four o'clock, fr°'"
the Peninsula, bringing the usual mails. Her dates of de-
parture are as follows :—Gibraltar, 10th March Cadiz,
11th ; Lisbon, 13th ; Oporto, -14th ; Vigo, 15th ; Corunn*
16th. The Quecn brings a full cargo of dates, orangth
specie, eggs, &c.
The schooner Brand, for Liverpool, with corn, struck

Oporto Bar corning out ; she apparently sustained no damage'
and proceeded on her voyage.
The Queen experienced very strong S.W. gales outward!:
and a succession of northerly gales homewards, or she wou ‘‘'
have performed the voyage two days sooner.
The Queen brings home about 90 persons, passengers, 9:
eluding the crew and passengers of the Great Liveren.
They are in a very distressed condition for want of clobtal°
and many other necessaries.
It is with extreme regret that I announce the death Of
Captain M‘Lerel, the late commander of the Great Liver;
pool, who died by his own hand immediately after the las_
of the passengers had departed for Corunna. He had been
in a most desponding state of mind ever since the unfortnt
nate occurrence, and it is supposed could not bear up agar et
misfortune. The melancholy event has left a gloomnv
the whole town. He was a man universally beloved an
respected. He has left a large young family, with propeeo
of an early increase.
There is nothing further saved from the wreck of the Great
Liverpool. The ship is entirely gone top and what /",
luables floated ashore were principally purloined by the rae
cally natives.

The Queen brings home her mails. I have person*"
inspected them ; but as they are in boxes it is impossibl!!
a casual observer to state what damage they have receirt4.
I regret to add, that Lieutenant Williamson, the Jt.,urit
ralty agent of the Great Liverpool, lies dangerous tw,y;
Corunna; se much so, that his life is despaired of. 11' " 1
totally unable to come to England in the Queen.
Too much praise cannot be given to Captain Russell
his kind, humane, and p,,lite attention in every respect ~,
to,
unfortunate passengers. Most of their friends were tra4lll.;
at the various hotels in the town to receive them and it 0;
be readily imagined the greetings were of a most cordial
racter.
