SHIPPING DISASTER 3 IN THE EAST INDIES.

Two terrible cyclones have recently swept over the Bay
of Bengal—one on the IGth of May, the other on the 10th
of June. Of the latter we as yet only know that it
was extremely destructive to life and property ;
but full particulars are to hand of the storm which
took place on the IGth of May. The losses are of the
most serious character. The town of Dacca, situated near
the juncture of the Brahmapootra with a branch of the
Ganges, was greatly injured. On the river alone f 20,000
worth of merchandise was destroyed. The loss of life in

this quarter was confined chiefly to the natives ; but
mje European, Mr. Ross Donnelly Stuart, perished.
Worst of all, it is feared that the mail steamer Cheduba,
of the Priti:l India Steam Navigation Company, foun-
dered during the cyclone. The Boeay Ga:Cte says she
left the Sandheads early on the 15th, and nothing has
since been heard of her. All hopes of her safety seem to
have been abandoned. If the Cheduba has really foun-
dered there can be no hope that any of her crew or pas-
sengers have survived. Amongst her passengers was
Major-General Robert Nicholas Faunce, of the Madras
Staff Corps, an officer of about forty-five years' service.
There wai alio on board Lieutenant Fergusson, of the
21st Fusiliers, besides a considerable number of natir.
passengers.

On the west coast of India two serious wrecks have
occurred. The Great Northern, of Liverpool, a ship of
1,400 tons, was lost on the 7th of June, at Bassein, and
fifteen of the crew were drowned. There were no
passengers. The Bucentaur, also [of Liverpool, was
wrecked near Bombay on June 3, but the crew were
saved.
