HIE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1858.

THE STEAMER AUSTRIA.

Though the interest connected with the loss of
- this ill-fated vessel has now somewhat abated, we
yet think the following narrative will be accept-
able to our readers. It was compiled by Captain
Aldham, of her Majesty's ship Valorous, who con-
veyed 42 of the survivors to New York from
Fayal ; from the lips of the more intelligent among
the passengers he obtained the various facts :
The Austria left Hamburg on the Ist Sept. 1858,
for New York, with a crew of 102 men, including
officers, 460 passengers, and secondelass cabins all
full. Of this number about 200 were women and
children. On the 3d she anchored at Southampton,
which place she left the next day. Westerly winds
prevailed till about the 12th, when it cleared off and
was fine. On the 13th, at noon, the latitude was
42 4 N., long. 45 1 W. ; weather very fine, light
breeze ; passengers all well. At two p.m. of that
day the captain, according to law, ordered the ship
to be fumigated, which was done by putting a red-
hot iron into a bucket of tar, which was placed in
the midship part of the lower deck, where most of
the passengers lived and slept; their bedding and
clothes at the time were lying about the deck. The
fourth officer was attending to see the order car-
ried out. From some cause the tar caught fire and
became in a blaze, when unfortunately the bucket
was capsised, and, from the rolling of the ship, the
contents soon spread over the deck, the flames com-
municating with the bedding as it lay about. From
the great draught of air through the scuttles on
that deck the fire spread with great rapidity to-
wards the main hatchways, filling the engine-room
with smoke and flame, and suffocating the en-
gineers and stokers, who were prevented from
working the engines or stopping them.
From the main hatchway the flames soon caught
the light and dry bulkheading of the officers'
cabins ; from thence, like lightning, it spread aft
towards the grand saloons and upon deck, setting
fire to the mainmast, rigging,. and the two boats
hanging on either side the rigging ; thus com-
pletely cutting off the fore from the after part of
the ship, so that the officers, who were all in the
fore part, could not get aft to render assistance or
to give orders for the disposal of the boats. The
engineer on deck, seeing the smoke at the first,
telegraphed down to the engine-room to put the
engines at half-speed, which, it is believed, was
done ; but the ship continued to move on at the
rate of four or five miles an hour for half or three-
quarters of an hour, when they ceased of themselves.
The captain, who was sleeping at the time when
the fire broke out, was awakened by the smoke and
flame coming into his cabin, when he immediately
rushed on deck, and was seen speaking or giving
some orders, which were not understood or not
carried out, and seeing the flames bursting out all
over the midship part of the upper deck in all direc-
tions, became completely confused, and lost his pre-
sence of mind; for when the first officer asked him
the question, " Can I do anything in Hamburg,
should I escape ?" he made no answer, but exclaimed,
" My God'. my God!" and rushed away, andwas not
seen again; it is supposed he was one of the first to
throw himself overboard. From the ship going
ahead the flames spread aft and up the rigging
with great fury. preventing any of the fire
engine gear, buckets, or hose, or even an
axe to be got at. The boats were also so
secured that none of the passengers knew how to
lower them. The two foremost boats on either side,
being before the fire, were lowered by the officers
and crew ; one was safely placed in the water, the
other was destroyed ; the two midship boats on
either side were in flames, and the three after ones
were so enveloped with smoke and heat that few
dared to go near them. Some attempts were made
to lower them, which did not succeed, and the great
rush of persons towards them and in them caused
them to turn over, and many were repeatedly
thrown out of them into the sea by this means. The
tackle of one boat was let go, and she hung up and
down by the other, and was dragged through the
water, turning over and over by the numbers trying
to get into her ; many passengers clung to the boat as
long as they could, but were swept away ; others
dropping down by the tackle upon those hanging
underneath, obliged them to let go ; others again
trying the same method, shared the same fate.
Ropes were hung over the side, and to these the
passengers clung, and strove to slide down them
to keep clear of the smoke and flame, the pressure
became too great for those underneath, and becom-
ing exhausted by being dragged through the water,
let go their hold, and sunk to rise no more. The
greatest confusion ensued, especially in the afterpart
of the ship, where the flames and smoke poured in "
in intense volumes. Many ladies, and even gentle-
men, at the very first appearance of the flames on
deck, jumped overboard, and of course were left
far astern by the vessel's progression through the
water. One gentleman threw all his children over-
board, then his wife, and afterwards followed him-
self. This was not the only case of a similar nature.
Two beautiful girls, sisters, embraced each other on
deck, and then hand in hand, leaped into the water,
and were seen to rise together ; the hair of the
youngest of them having become loose, fell over her
face, when the elder sister, moving it aside with
her hand, gave her a farewell kiss, and closely
locked in each other's arms, they sank to rise no
more. Another gentleman, holding on by
a tape in the water with one hand, being
towed by the ship, in the other holding
up his only child, with his wife clinging round
his neck till nature became exhausted, and
the wife and child were swept away—he, poor man,
still held on, unconscious, and yet was saved to be-
moan their loss, and to bear the marks of the rope
on his wrist to his life's end. The bowsprit and
fore part of the ship were crowded, and numbers
were hanging outside by ropes. One female, who
had a rope round her waist, was very much burnt
by the great heat of the ship's side, She could not
free herself from the rope, or get any one to let it
go, and she might have been roasted alive had not
the rope burnt through and she fell into the water
and was saved. His wounds are now nearly healed.
From the flames inclining aft at the first, the doors
of the grand saloon and companion ladders were
soon in a blaze, and all those who were in the sa-
loon were abliged to be hauled on deck through
the skylights. Between three and four p.m. a great
rush was made to the stern of the ship in conse-
quence of the flames bursting through the skylights
of the saloon. By this rush a great many who were
already at the stern were overborne by the numbers
who pressed on them, and fell into the water, and
those who held on to the stern and after part of the
ship were blown overboard by the explosion of the
powder which was kept imderneath the wheelhouse.
Not more than four or five persons were saved of
those who had been in the after part of the ship.
Those in the fore part had a better chance of their
lives from the flames and smoke blowing.
aft ; all
the fore part, the bowsprit, and fore chains were
crowded with people ; numbers hanging on to ropes
outside were obliged to let go by the pressure of
those above them, and many in the water who
could swim were drowned by others who clung to
them in their agonies.
The sacrifice of life was frightful, all those who
had jumped overboard at the first were left far
astern by the ship's progress through the water,
and met a watery grave ; most of those who were
saved had managed to get a piece of plank, an oar,
or something to bear themselves up. Fortunately,
at the time the fire broke out there were three
vessels in sight, two on one side and one on the
other, but distant from eight to twelve miles. One
only of the three made any attempt to steer for the
ill-fated Austria ; she was a French barque,
named the Maurice, Captain Renaud, from ,
Newfoundland, bound to the Isle de Bour-
bon. Unfortunately, this ship had to beat to
windward, and could not get to the Austria till
about 6.30 a.m., and while nearing her had to pick
up several persons who were in the water, and who
must have been from one and a half to two miles
from the burning ship. As soon as the French
barque had come as close to the Austria as she con-
veniently could, she lowered her two boats and
sent them to the rescue. Great caution, however,
was necessary to avoid the flames, and also to pre-
vent an overwhelming number striving to get into
them, as this would only have created greater
confusion, and probably have socrificed the lives of
all. The boats, therefore, kept at a short distance,
and took in those from the bowsprit who swam to
them. These boats went backwards and forwards till
nine p.m., when it became too dark to send them
again. Several who still clung to the bowsprit and
were afraid to jump into the water were left there.
One boat only belonging to the Austria reached
the French vessel, with about 10 persons. The
whole number supposed to have been saved is 66
out of about 640 ; ten of these were part of the
crew, three of wham were officers, the remainder
passengers, including six females and three
children.

visions, and was not calculated to bold so great a
number of persons.
The above facts have been collected from several
of the most respectable passengers, who were con-
veyed from Fayal to New York by her Majesty's
ship Valorous. During the confusion and horrors
of that day it was impossible for any one person to
have seen all that occurred. The scenes that they
witnessed are too heartrending to describe, and will
never be effaced from their minds. One of the
female survivors lost her four children, and one
lady was seen in the water for a a long time holding
up her child with both hands over her head, and
even when her face was gradually disappearing
below the water the poor child was still held up.
The Valorous left Fayal, Sept. 28, with 42 of the
survivors on board, including six females and three
children.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
APPEAL-WARE V. THE REGENT CANAL COMPANY.
The hearing of counsel in this part-heard appeal case
was resumed this morning.

Mr. Roundell Palmer, Q.C., is now being heard for the
respondents, the Regent Canal Company.
It is probable that the hearing will occupy the whole of
this day.

(Before the Lords Justices.)
IN THE MATTER OF THE ILMINSTER SCHOOL.

This was an application to postpone the election of six
new trustees to administer the trusts of this charity in
obedience'to the :order of the court, until an appeal is pre-
sented to the House of Lords. _ _

Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner
granted the application, on the understanding that the ap-
pellants would present their appeal to the House of Lords
within ten days after the sitting of the first session of Par-
liament, and, in the event of the appellants altering their
intention to do so, with liberty to apply to carry the order
of court into effect.

In the different Law Courts sitting at Westminster this
morning the business was entirely confined to hearing ap-
plications for new trials, none of which possessed the leas
public interest.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

FURIOUS DRIVING.—DAMAGING A COLONEL'S CAR-
RIAGE.—Henry Canard, cabdriver, badge 4,822, was charged
before Mr. Bingham with being drunk and furiously driv-
ing a horse and cab, No. 285, in Charles-street, Berkeley-
square, and coming in collision with a horse and brougham
belonging to Col. Charles Holder, and causing damage
thereto.

John Lucey, coachman to the colonel, said that he was
in Charles-street about eleven on the previous night with
the brougham, driving at the rate of six miles an hour, the
colonel being inside, when the defendant came down the
street at the rate of seven or eight miles an hour, and, not-
withstanding there was plenty of room for him to pass, ho
came in collision with the carriage, knocking off the handle,
and doing damage to the amount of about 18s. The defen-
dont was not driving at such a rate but that he might have
stopped, but he did not do so, and seemed unable to pull up.
Fowbert, 80 C, said on coming up and hearing of the
affair he went after the cabman, but was unable to pursue.
Some one else did for him, and he then took him into
custody. He was drunk.

Defendant at first said it was unavoidable, but afterwards
admitted he had been taking a " little to drink," and that
he could not say he was sober.

The colonel said there was no excuse for his conduct, as
he had lamps to his carriage.

Mr. Bingham said he was sorry to say that this was not
the first time the defendant had been brought before a
magistrate, charged with being drunk when he had a cab
entrusted to him. The fines imposed on him did not seem
to improve his proceeding. He must now pay las., the
amount of the damage, 40s. for driving in that condition,
and if he did not pay the two sums he would be committed
for a month.

The other two vessels that were in sight never
went near the burning ship, although the wind
was fair for them to have done so. Neither their
names or nation are known.
The next morning, when the French vessel was
steering towards the still burning wreck, a Nor-
wegian vessel was seen to send a boat to her, which
pulled round her, but whether any more lives were
saved or not could not be ascertained. It is hoped
there were some, as the bowsprit was still in its
place, but the other masts had fallen.
About noon of this day the French vessel fell in
with the English ship Lotus, bound to Halifax':
when 12 persons were sent on board who wished to
go to that port. The French vessel then steered
for Fayal, arriving there on the 19th.
It need hardly be said that Captain Renaud did
all in his power to alleviate the distress of those he
had rescued, but his clip was very short of pro-
