St. John's, N.F., June 29.
To James G. Bennett, Esq., Editor of the -New
York. Herald :—The Argo, at Trepassy Bay,. is a
total wreck. She sank last night. A great portion
of the luggage and cargo is inevitably lost. The,
passengers are all saved. The affair is looked upon
as the result of sad mismanagement, and there is
undoubtedly much to censure. There are 200 pas-
sengers, nearly 100 women, and about 30 infants I
in arms. The disaster calls for serious invesli ga-
tion. A great many are left destitute. The
crew and officers behaved well. Aid from St.
John's was fortunately very prompt. Four lunatic
women were put on board in New York, about
whom no one knew anything. . Miss ;Rey-
wood, the vocalist, has lost everything, includ-
ing a large amount of valuable baggage. I will
write you a full account by the very first steamer,
upon which you may rely.

Line.—The Argo went ashore eight miles east of
this place, at 5 a.m., in a dense fog. Her passen-
gers all landed in safety. Two tugs are on the
way from St. John's.

R. C. HALPIN, Captmin.
The Argo was considered as a first class s.erew
steamship added 'to the fleet of ocean steamers
which now comprise the Galway line. She arrived
here from Galway, via St. John's, Newfouiatand,
on Monday, the 13th inst. She Was sold to the
Atlantic Steam Navigation Company for a very
high figure. She was four years old, ranked A 1 at
Lloyd's, and was one of the strongest propeners
afloat., Stie was an iron barque-rigged steamer of
2,240 tons register, and 3,200 tons burthen. Sbe
was divided by five water-tight compartments by
four bulkheads, and she was Well provided against
fire or any other accident. Her length over all
was 280 feet, her breadth of beam 37 feet, and her
depth of hold. 35 feet. Her machinery, was mas-
sive, and was 440 horse power. She had three
decks, and was permitted by the British regula-
tions to carry 1,045 passengers. Of these her first
cabin had accommodation for 120, and the second
cabin 100. Her saloon was large and well furnished,
and provided with tables at which 150 persons
could conveniently dine.
The entire vessel was well ventilated, and there
was good light on each of her decks. She was well
finished in every part, and her masts were coppered
one-third of their length from the deck. It hi said
that on her way out she passed through con der-
able m tsses of ice, and rode over some of it. She
experienced head winds 'find fogs since she left
Galway- on her last trip ; nevertheless she raade
St. John's on the eighth and New York on. the
13th, exclusive of the day she was detained a.“.3t:
John's.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE WRECK.
Information has been received here that the
steam-ship Argo, which left this port on the 23d
fast., for Galway, via St. John's, N.F., has been
wrecked. We 'have not heard the location of the
calamity, but understand it to be somewhere on the
Newfoundland coast—probably near Cape Race.
The ship went ashore, and at last account was

were landed safely. Two steam-tugs have been
sent to the assistance of the Argo. Particulars will
soon come to hand.
P.R.—Since the above was written, we learn that
the Aim) was lost in Trepassy Bay.
ST. JOHN'S, N.P., June 30, 1859.—A1l of the
Argo's pas-engers have arrived here safe and well.

The following are, as near as can be gathered,
the disaster :

she
grounded her bow on the rocks at Fresh Water
Point, eight miles from Trepassy.
The boats were lowered and got ready, when the
passengers embarked with but little confusion, the
women and children first.
The anchors were then passed out at the stern,
the coal thrown overboard, the forward boilers
blown off, and every exertion made to get her off,
but without avail. The captain now sent off a pilot
with Mr. Butterfield to Trepassy harbour to get
assistance. They arrived at 10 o'clock and tele-
graphed here, when the steamers Dauntless and
Blue Jacket were despatched immediately. Sails,
&c., were sent ashore, and tents made to protect
the passengers, and where provisions and luggage
could be got at they were sent on shore. Boats were
constantly passing from the ship to the cove, about
a mile. carrying ashore what could be saved. The
fishermen plundered the ship ; a hundred of them
came around upon hearing the signal guns ; they
cut away the masts, and completely skinned her;
At four o'clock p.m. the ship filled, and fell on her
beam-ends in six fathoms water. The baggage of
many of the passengers is lost. There was no house
within eight miles of the shore where she struck.
At about five o'clock p.m. a boat returned from

THE SUN, LONDON

SOUTH-WESTERN.
The adjourned Wharncliffe meeting of this com-
pany was held yesterday, at the Waterloo Station.
Captain Mangles was in the chair. The advertise-
ment by which the meeting had been convened
having been read,
The Chairman said the proprietors had been
called together, to consider three bills which were
before parliament -at the time the advertisement
was issued. One of them, viz., for leasing the
Stokes Bay Railway and Pier to.the South-Wes-
tern, and to amalgamate the foriner and the Isle
of -Wight Ferry Companies, would not be sub-
mitted. The Stokes Bay Company had not been
able to prove. that their capital was paid-up, and
the clause -for 'leasing and amalgamation had
therefore been withdrawn.
The first bill he had
to present to them was that `for making a ilway
from the London and South-Western linerin the
parish of Ringwood, to Christchurch, and an ap-
proach road at the latter place ; for approving.
clauses and provisions by which powers were pro-
posed to be conferred on the London and South-
Western Company. The line, in point of fact, was
a branch. One, from Christchurch, which would join
the Southwistern near the Ringwood station.
The undertaking was promoted by an. indepen-
' dent conipanY,..and the South-Western ejaimed in
the bill the option of working it 'at a dose price
tinder the sanction of the Board of Trade. He
then formally, moved the approval of the bill.
Mr. Uzielli seconded the motion, *"tyhich Was
carried unanimously. -
The Chairman next proposed the bill for :en-
abling the West London Railway Company
,construct - new lines of railway, dock, and otherto -
works, in connection with their undertaking; to,. convert and appropriate part of the Kensington
Canal, and,for other purposes. The chairman et-
plained at some length the connection which the
projected line will have in its extension across the
Thames with the South-Western, the Brighton,
the London and North-Western, and the
Great
Western Companies, the details of which have
already been given in our columns. He stated thy'
London and North-Westerzi would subscribe
£170,000 towards the contemplated
Brighton CoMpany X 75,000 works, the., and the South-
Western £50,000, while the Great Western had
guaranteed £4,000 per annum, with the option of
subscribing £lOO,OOO within six months. If the
latter sum should be subscribed, the amount to
be paid by the London and North-WeStern
would be reduced to the extent of £75,000, and
that by the Brighton to the extent 0f,X25,00P; The
London and North Western and Great Westerine-
would each send four members to the boardf anci u
Brighton and South Western two 'withers each.„
Should the broad gauge be laid on the line the ex-'
pense will be borne by the. Great Western.Ccim-
pany.

for the
te p.pproval of the bill was unanimously
