(Signed by Colonel Allan and the whole of the
• officers and passengers on board.)

The Eastern Monarch was a ship of upwards of
1,500 tons register, belonging to Messrs. Somes,
Brothers, of Blackwall, and nearly new, this being
only her second voyage to India. Her cargo con-
sisted of saltpetre, linseed, ivory, and bones, &c.

SOUTLIAMPTON, Friday.'
By the arrival here of the screw steam ship
Saxonia from Hamburg, which passed the burning
vessel on her way to this port, intelligence was
received of the burning of the Eastern Monarch at
Spithead. The pilot on board the Saxonia, Mr.
James Bowyer, was the first to render assistance
to the ill-fated ship, and he and his colleagues were
happily instrumental in saving a great number of
lives. Bowyer was cruising off Spithead in his cutter
the Fawn, accompanied by James Penny, another
pilot belonging to Southampton, and two seamen
named Joseph Newman and Joseph Diaper, on the
look-out for the Saxonia. Between 2 and 3 o'clock
this morning an explosion was heard by them, in the
direction of which they proceeded, and on arriving
within hail of the Eastern Monarch, which had
brought up at Spithead a shbrt time previous, they
were told that the ship was on fire, and a body of
smoke was seen issuing from the quarterdeck.• At
this time the ship was lying at anchor about half a mile
from the shore, and near the Kicker Point. Bowyer,
who has communicated these particOars, says that
he immediately directed the pilot on board the
Eastern Monarch to slip- her cable and run the ship
ashore, but owing to the confusion which prevailed
this was not attended to. Flames soon burst out
from all parts of the vessel, and the scenes which
followed are described as being of the most heart-
rending character. The soldiers were under the
most perfect discipline and remained at the fore
part of the ship, under the direction of their officers.
The crew of the vessel were strenuou; in their exer-
tions to keep the fire under, but without effect, and
the ship's boats were quickly lowered. Blue lights
were burnt on board the Fawn for the purpose
of attracting the attention of one -or two men-
of-war which were anchored near the spot, and
a boat from the burning ship was despatched
for assistance. Meanwhile ladies and children,
almost in a state of nudity, leaped over the
sides of the vessel and out of the portholes, many
of whom it is- feared were drowned. A small
boat belonging .to the Fawn went alongside the
Eastern Monarch and commenced the work of
rescue by taking as many of the unfortunate crea-
tures out as was possible, but such a large number
pressed. into the boat that it was several times
nearly swamped, and nothing but good manage-
ment onithe part of the pilots and their crews pre-
vented an accident of this kind from taking place.
The boat made several trips from the burning ship
to the cutter, each time laden with people, and
many hung on to the sides of the boat, and were
so dragged through the water and placed on board
the Fawn. By these means the gallant little craft,
although only of 36 tons, had on board 12 ladies,
about 100 men, and several children. Among the
ladies were the wives of the colonel and captain in
command of the troops. By this time several boats
had arrived from the men-of-war lying at Spit-
head, and also a number of mud barges which were
passing the spot. The Fawn made her way to the
nearest man•of-war, and transferred to her the
people whom she had providentially rescued,
several of whom were only covered by the sails of
the boat, while the ladies were enveloped in the
blankets belonging to the cutter and the coats of
the pilots and seamen. A female and child were
picked up, both of whom died, and the crew of the
Fawn saw several persons sink whom they were
unable to assist. Another Southampton pilot
named Nichols, who happened to be near, was
the means of saving several lives. As soon as a
number of boats had congregated round the
ship the soldiers received directions to save
themselves, when, throwing away their knap-
sacks, they leaped overboard and swam to
the boats. The colonel and captain of the
troops and the captain of the ill-fated vessel
were the last to leave the burning wreck. About
four o'clock the masts went over the side and
the ship was in a body of flame, which shot up-
ward to a great height, owing to a large quantity
of saltpetre being on board. The pilot from Cowes,
who brought the ship round the Isle of Wight, was
much injured: Every one had left the ship, and
she was fast succumbing to her fate by the time
the Saxonia came up from Hamburg, and the
humane work of saving life being completed,
Bowyer took charge of the steamer and brought
her to this port, leaving Penny and the two seamen
to follow in the Fawn.
