THE WRECK OF THE ORION STEAM-VESSEL:"
PORTPATRICK, JUNE 24.—Captain Denham, R.N., arrived
here last night from London, and is now pursuing his in.*
quiries respecting the loss of this vessel. A female and child
were got out of her yesterday, supposed to be Mrs. Scott, of
Montreal, and her child. Her husband was one of those
who. unfortunately perished; he was alive when brought on
shore, but died in a few minutes. Her sister, Mrs. Smith, a
widow lady, was also drowned; she left ten children behind
her at Montreal. Both families were on their way to Gies'
gow, their native town, to make arrangements for settling
there. To-day three bodies were got out by the divers; 012°
of tbem is known to be a Glasgow merchant, but the other
two have not been identified : one was a lad about fifteen
years old. Captain M'Neill (Cellinsay) whose body has not
been yet found, had his life insured for 20,0001. YesterdaY
evening instructions were received from the Lord Advocate
to apprehend Mr. Henderson, the commander of the Orval.
The warrants were put into the hands of the police here this
morning. We understand that he will be admitted to bail.
A good deal of property in money and plate has been obtained
to-day from the sunken vessel.—Shipping Gazette.
The longest pleasure with a‘hich we are familiar is
of a passive kind, namely, sleep.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
DEATH FROM CHLOROFORM.—OH Monday last to
case illustrative of the fatal effect of the incautious W ofO 7,
chloroform occurred at Sheffield; the sufferer was a Mr. 0:
Smith, a young man of 21 years of age. Mr. Smith retired_
to rest on Sunday night, about half-past eleven o'clock, to
the house of Mr. Ray. In the night he was heard to moan,
' but it was concluded he was dreaming. As be did not ap-
pear at the usual time at the breakfast-table, a domestic
was sent to his bedroom, when he was found
lying in bed,
lite being extinct. In his hands he held a handkerchief,
firmly pressed to his mouth and nostrils. It appears the
unfortunate gentleman has been in the habit of inhaling
chloroform for the purpose of allaying
the face-ache. A
bottle which had contained chloroform was found uncorked
in the watch-pocket of the bed, and in a private drawer two
bottles of chloroform were discovered. An inquest was heldon
