DESTRUCTION OF THE SHIP AIIEONA. BY FIRE.—
The following is an extract from the log-book of the barque
Diamond, Pearse, commander, of this port, which arrived
here, Newport, from St. John's, N. 8., on Saturday, 15th
instant, after 33 days' passage :—" Monday, Nov. 10th, wind
S.E., let. 50, 16 N. long., by chronometer, 8 30 W.; at
1 r.m , saw smoke on the weather bow,—supposed it was a
steamer. On nearing, it proved to be a ship on fire. Passed
to leeward of her; tacked, and stood towards her. She was
a mass of fire on deck, except a small part forward ; her
bowsprit was out, and her masts under the bows. She had a
gilt female bust head, and a board, with the words New
Ross,' in gilt letters, floated alongside. Supposed to be a
ship of 500 tons, timber laden. At 3 P.m., hauled our wind,
and proceeded." By subsequent accounts, it appears that
the ill-fated ship was the Abeona, of New Boss, from Quebec
to Waterford. We have heard that her crew were safely
landed at Liverpool a few days ago.—lllonmouthshire Merlin.
Lady Peel arrived in town on Saturday afternoon
from Drayton Manor, Staffordshire.
