THE WRECK OF THE ROYAL
ADELAIDE STEAMER.

MARGATE, TUESDAY NIGHT.—The two bodies
picked up by the Nelson lugger, on being brought
ashore, were conveyed to the house of Mr. Gore, an
undertaker of this town, who, on the instructions of
the parochial authorities, has had them both placed in
shells, preparatory to their interment. Neither of
these poor fellows appear to have died from drown-
ing. They rather seem to have perished in the water.
Both of them were provided with life preservers in
the shape of large corks tied round the chest and
back, the one having ten, and the other five, each about
as large as a brick. There was nothing found on
either of their persons leading to positive identifica-
tion, but from some letters found upon the one, and
a name written inside the boot of the other, there
does not appear to be much doubt on the subject.
The one, from his dress, would appear to have been
the mate of the vessel. He wore blue trousers, black
frock coat, a pilot overboati_and a south-wester. In
his pockets were found three letters and a memo •
randum, but no money or other property of any de-
scription. One of the letters is written by a gentle-
man named Roberts, who dates from Great Horner-
street, Liverpool. It is addressed to Mr. William
Gowler, chief mate of the Leeds steamer (this
vessel belongs to the Dublin Company), and com-
municates the death of Gowler's wife. It is dated
as far back as February last. Another letter is
written by Mr. P. Howell, and dated from the
Dublin Steam-packet Company's offices, Eden-quay,
Dublin. It complains of some irregularities on board
the company's boats, and would appear to have been
handed to the deceased by a Mr. Lane, to whom it
is addressed. From this it might be inferred that
the unfortunate man was an officer on board the
Leeds steamer, but a memorandum found in his
waistcoat pocket seems to show that, at any rate, on
the present voyage, he was one of the crew of the
Royal Adelaide. This memorandum runs :
" Wilson and wife lost their ticket. To be allowed
to pass free in the Royal Adelaide to London.
"March 27, 1850. "J. LEFEBVRE."
The name of " Coe" is written on the boot of the
other deceased. Two shillings and a fourpenny piece
were found upon him, and his pockets were com-
pletely full of sand, showing that he must have driven
about on the bank for some time. It may be men-
tioned, also, that when found his neck was dislocated.
From his dress he appears to have been a stoker or
fireman. The letters and memorandum book have
been banded over to Mr. Merchant, the superintendent
of the Margate police, who wrote by last night's post
to Mr. Roberts, to ascertain his wishes respecting the
body of the deceased.
The spot where this wreck took place is one of the
, most dangerous in the British Channel. It was within
a few cables' length that a German emigrant ship
went to pieces in October last, when nearly 200 lives
were lost. The prudent course, in weather similar to
that which prevailed on Saturday night, would have
been to bring up in Margate-roads for the night. The
Tongue lightship shows a steady white light, and the
Girdler, which is about ten miles higher up the Chan-
nel, a revolving light.
PLYMOUTH, APRIL 2.—The Royal Adelaide steam-
packet, belonging to the City of Dublin Steam-
packet Company, which was totally lost on the
tongue Sand, off the North Foreland, at ten o'clock
on Saturday night, the 30th ult., and so discovered
by Captain Manning, of the Malcolm Brown screw-
steamer, on Sunday morning, at eight o'clock,
arrived at Plymouth at nine o'clock on Thursday
evening, the 28th ult., from Cork, and landed here
five horses, thirtyteight head of cattle, three calves,
nine pigs, some rice, butter, &c. She brought about
six cabin, and say 150 deck passengers, from Ireland,
and embarked six (adult) cabin and six (adult) deck
passengers here ; and; having also shipped a quantity
of wool, eft Apr London at half-past three o'clock on
Friday moiniffg (Good Friday), de 29th ult. She
had fifty or sixty pigs Sri dikk, but was only moderately
Jaden. The.names of the cabin passengers who embarked
here are—Hurst, 1; Withers, 1; Pasne, 3; andl Tucker,
1 ; and of the deck passengers, Welsh, 3 ; Squires, 1 ;
Morrish, 1; and Thompson, 1. Hurst and Withers
were respectable young women ; Payne, a married
man, with his wife and three children ; they had their
household furniture on board; Tucker, a young man
of 30, apparently a mate in the merchant service, who
said he was geing to London to join a ship bound to
New Zealand ; Welsh, a woman, and her three chil-
dren, 14, 9, and 6, going to Ramsgate to join her
husband ; Squires, a young man. Of the others no•
thing is known at present.

Captain John Batty, who commanded the Royal
Adelaide, had been upwards of twelve years master
and mate of that vessel. Two mates, who had been
some time in her, were discharged the voyage before
last. Her present chief officer is stated to be a native
of Plymouth ; the name of her second mate is North,
apparently a native of London ; and her chief engi-
neer is from Liverpool.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Yesterday Mr. Brown, one of the owners of the
Delight, arrived at Colchester with the following in-
formation :—He reports that i❑ coming this morning,
between the Mouse Light and Spitway, he saw a con-
siderable quantity of wreckage, such as cabin fittings
(doors), wainscot colour; also many planks, with a
great portion of the deck of a vessel, with two hatch-
ways in it, with six iron stays, apparently the engine-
deck of a steam-vessel. Thdre has also been seen by
the master of a fishing. boat, in the Wallett, &c., float-
ing on the surface of the water, some oats (black),
with a small piece of boat, nearly new, and copper-
fastened, apparently foreign built.
The master of the Sarah, from Antwerp to Sheer-
ness, at present at Maldon, furnishes Lloyd's with
further information on the melancholy subject. He
says, on Tuesday he passed a great deal of wreck and
wearing apparel in the river. ley picked up some
wearing apparel, amongst which was a gown, a girl's
frock, apparently for a girl twelve years old, some
baby-linen, two coarse blue socks, a tuacan bonnet
with a plaid ribbon twice round it, &c. One of the
hands fished up the fly-leaf of a book, with the fol-
lowing inscription :—" Joseph Welch, his book, given
to him by his grandfather Welch. Joseph Welch,
No. 113, Cross-street." There was also a black lace
cap, trimmed with narrow purple ribbon, with
ribbon and lace rosette on each side
