TILE LOSS OF TEE HUNGA.RIAN ROYAL

MAIL STEAMER.

By the Canada we have further intelligence of
he total wreck of the Montreal Ocean Steamship

Company's mail steamship Hungarian, announced
in our paper yesterday. This deplorable catas-
trophe occurred on the morning of the 20th ult.,

and we regret to state that the total number of
persons on board her, all of whom it is feared have
perished, is far greater than was at first supposed.

It appears from the books of the Admiralty emigra-
tion agent that the passengers and crew numbered
together 205 souls. The following are the tele-
grams relating to the wreck :
HALIFAX, N.S. Feb. 21.—The brig Cygnet,
whichhas arrived at this port in 12 days from
New York, while lying to in thick weather on
Sunday evening, at 6
,o'clock, off Liverpool, N.S.,
saw a large steamer steering west-north-west. The
steamer ashore at Cape Ledge is probably the
steamship Hungarian, Captain Jones, which left
Liverpool on the sth for Portland.
BARRINGTON, N.S., Feb. 21.—The consul re-
turned from the island last night, but nothing is
yet known as to the wrecked steamship. It is sup-
posed that all on board are lost. A vessel has gone
round this morning.
HALIFAX, Feb. 21.—The following telegram has
been sent from Cape Sable to Messrs. Cunard and
Co. :—" A steamer's lights were seen on Monday
morning at three o'clock on Cape Ledge. At day-
light spars and smoke-pipe only were standing. At
ten o'clock all was gone by the board, and the
vessel settled fast. A heavy sea was running,
breaking mast high over the ship. Communica-
tion with the ship was impossible. All on board
were lost, unless boats left the ship before day-
light, which is mot likely. At low water part of
the vessel isstill
The following is the only news yet obtained
from the scene of the wreck :
" The steamship is the Hungarian, from Queens-
%own 9th inst. She is a total wreck. Crew and.

passengers all supposed to be lost. Small portions
of the hull are now visible at low water. A small
portion of the mail has been saved in a damaged.
state. One passenger's ticket has been found,
with the name Ellen Sheehan on it."
The following is from the Balifax Morning
Journal of the 24th ult.

The subjoined additional telegrams, received from Bar-
rington on Wednesday last, leave it no longer in doubt that
the steamer lost near Cape Sable, on Sunday night last, is
the iron screw steamship Hungarian, Captain Jones, of the
Canadian line. This vessel left Liverpool on the Bth inst.,
and Queenstown on the following day for Portland, Me. It
is understood that she had 38 cabin passenger when leaving
the former port. The number of steerage passengers is not
known, nor is it known how many she took on board at
Queenstown. The Hungarian was precisely a similar ship
to the others comprising the Canadian line. It is somewhat
singular that two of the same line should have been cast
away on the opposite extremities of our coast. It,
will be remembered that the Hungarian called in
here some weeks ago, while on a passage from
Portland to Liverpool, to convey the officers and crew
of the Indian, which was totally lost near the Marie Joseph.
This is the third ship of the Canadian line lost, and all
within a short time of each other. It is not at all probable
that a single soul escaped the dreadful disaster. How the
calamity occurred will, therefore, probably never be blown.
The Government schooner Daring, Captain Daly, has been
ordered to proceed to the scene of the wreck. The follow-
ing are the particulars yet known relative to this most
melancholy shipwreck :
" BARRINGTON, Feb. 21, 1860.—Just returned from the
Cape. No intelligence of the crew. Ticket dated Queens-
town, Feb. 9, via Hungarian, to Portland, picked up. Por-
tions of wreck strewn along the beach, and floating in the
bay. Vessels and boats engaged in saving ; part of the
upper deck carried on shore. Vessel lies in 12 feet of water
at low tide.
