DUTCH MAIL.

TIIE HAGUE, Nov. 15.—Accounts from Arnheim
mention that the Rhine is so low that the navigation
of the river meets with obstacles, which are very pre-
judicial to commerce. There are places among others,
one near Arnheim, where a vessel with only one-
third of its usual cargo can with difficulty pass.
Every day it is necessary to have recourse to trans-
shipments, which are exceedingly troublesome and
cause great delay.
ST. PETERSBURGH, NOV. 4.—On the proposal of
M. Alfesovsky, Mayor of the city of St. Petersburgh,
the merchants here subscribed the sum of fifteen
thousand silver rubles for the benefit of the sufferers
by the fire at Kasan, which has been sent free of ex-
pense to that city.
The Northern Bee announces that a very impor-
tant improvement has just been introduced at St.
Petersburgh in the manufacture of lamp gas. This
improvement consists in simplying the apparatus, by
means of which this manufacture, which was a very
complex and dangerous operation, is rendered so
simple that a man of ordinary understanding may
learn it in six hours. It is not necessary to compress
the gas, nor is there any steam-engine required to
manufacture it. The work of four men on the new
plan is equal to that of forty on the old one—lastly,
the quantity of lime necessary to purify the gas is
very inconsiderable.

LivEurooL, Nov. 16.—Daniel O'Connell, Esq.,
M.F., arrived here last night from Dublin, in order
to be present at the annual dinner of the Catholic
Benevolent Association this evening, it being an-
nounced that he will take the chair. To-morrow
evening he will address the Repealers at the Music
Hall, and on Friday will take part in the proceedings
of the " Free Trade Festival," to be held in the Royal
Amphitheatre, on which occasion the attendqnce is
expected to be from 4,000 to 5,000.
THE ARTS.—Another martyr to the enthusiasm
they inspire has just fallen in Italy—John Harper,
architect, of York, and Honorary Secretary to the
branch Government School of Design there, and one
of its most active and zealous promoters; he started
from England on the sth of June, on a tour to Swit-
zerland, Italy, and Sicily. After visiting Verona,
Vicenza, and Venice, making numerous drawings by
the way, he went to Florence, and passed a few weeks
in sketching in the country between Florence and
Rome, Terni and its falls, Narni, and the picturesque
subjects he met with on that route; he arrived in
Rome on the 3d of September; he was soon after
seized by the malaria fever, from which, though in
danger,
he partially recovered; but, urged on by an
ardour of purpose, which his then weakened frame

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 18, 1842.

LOSS OF THE RELIANCE (EAST-
INDIA.MAN.)

Extract of a letter received at Lloyd's, from their
agent at Boulogne, under date Nov. 5 :
Sir—We beg to inform you that by advices re-
ceived this:morning from the coast, there are now about
2,050 cases of tea saved, but.all more or less damaged.
" We are Sir, yours obediently,
" A. ADAMS and CO.
" To William bobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's."

Some further and interesting particulars of the loss
of this vessel were brought yesterday by the Com-
mercial Steam Navigation Company's ship Emerald,
Captain Wingfield, which left Boulogne at ten o'clock
on Wednesday night, and arrived at London-bridge
at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, after a boisterous
passage, occupying 16 hoiirs. The account given by
Dixon, the carpenter, to Mr. Thomas Edmond, the
engineer of the Emerald, from whom the reporter re-
eeived it, is, that the Reliance, as already stated,
struck about two o'clock on Saturday morning. He
remained on board till four o'clock, the sea breaking
right over during the whole of that time, and washing
many of the crew overboard. About four o'clock the
ship parted from stem to stern, one-half of the vessel
falling over to seaward. This portion of the vessel
was immediately thrown back into its former position
by the surge, crushing to death several of the crew
who had fallen into the chasm, and others, who were
clinging to the sides. He describes, as being most
vividly in his recollection, the fate of a poor fellow
who was thus jammed literally to death, his head re-
maining above the deck, while his mutilated remains
were suspended below. The carpenter states that at
the moment she parted, he threw off his jacket, jumped
into the sea, and seized a spar, which the current was
hurrying towards the' shore. Dixon, who has received
several severe contusions about the head, from coming
into contact with the rocks—describes a most heart-
rending incident which occurred just before he reached
the land. A youth, who had fast hold of a plank,
which was floating within a few paces of himself,
became so much exhausted that he could hold on no
longer. At this moment Dixon felt the sand with his
feet, and called to his fellow-sufferer—but the boy
was worn out—lie had'only strength enough to 'say
" I can't, I can't," and immediately sunk. The car-
penter cannot tell what number of passengers were on
board, but describes as one, an elderly gentleman
between 60 and 70years of age, who had been wounded
in India.

England for Boulogne on the first intimation of the
wreck, was present, and superintended the arrange-
ments of the funeral, which was attended by many
very respectable persons. Captain Green, when his
body was picked up, had on his pilot coat, and was
lashed to a plank. The mate, when found, wore a
life-preserver, but the air was exhausted. The body
of one of the crew, a boy, was picked up on Monday
at Boulogne, eighteen miles distant, whither the cur-
rent had carried it; and the sea there is stated to be
literally covered with tea at flood-tide.
The carpenter was to have come home in the Eme-
rald yesterday, but he has, at the desire of the Con-
sul, been left behind, to identify any other bodies
that may come ashore.
The Emerald has brought over a large case of let-
ters from India, which drifted .ashore shortly after
the wreck. They were claimed by Mr. Hamilton,
the British Consul, on the part of her Majesty, and
forwarded by the above vessel to the Postmaster-
General. The case was entire, and the letters, on
examination, proved to be uninjured, except by sand
and water. Many of them were delivered at a late
hour last evening. Another case, bearing a label,
" Down's Muster-book—Quarterly Victualling Ac-
count," and directed to the Admiralty, also recovered,
arrived at the same time, and was forwarded to its
destination by the Secretary, Mr. Bleaden.

THE LORD MAYOR'S BANQUET
.—The speeches were
of the usual description. The leaders of each party
in politics, who, as a
matter of business, call each
other scoundrels all through the Parliamentary ses-
sion, were full of protestations of mutual friendship.
Lord Stanley declared Lord John*Russell to be a very
worthy fellow ; and Lord John Russell declared, over
the Lord Mayor's champagne, that he had a very
sincere private esteem for the very man whom he is
always publicly stigmatising as the most dishonest
and despicable of characters. This sort of thing was
kept up until a late hour, the new Lord Mayor mak-
ing a complinientary speech about the old, and the
old puffing the new ; while each thought himself
what is commonly called an infinitely superior card
to the other.—Punch.
