SERIOUS DISASTER TO THE STEAM-SHIP LEEDS.—The
steam-ship Leeds, Captain Stokes, belonging to the City
of Dublin Steam-ship Company, which on Friday last
sailed from Dublin to this port, sprung a leak at four
o'clock on Saturday morning, when about twenty miles
to the S.W. of Point Lynes, owing to the extremely
boisterous state of the weather. About eighty persons
were on board at the time, including crew and passengers,
together with a large number of cattle, and a general
cargo. As soon as the leak was discovered the pumps
were brought into requisition, but in a few minutes they
became choked, and a subsequent attempt which was
made to bail out the water with buckets failed. The
engine fires were therefore in a short time put out, and
the steamer was thus left wholly to the mercy of the
waves. Signals of distress were hoisted, and guns were
fired, which are said to have been observed by two vessels
who, however, took no notice of the facts. The passengers,
who were compelled to remain on deck on account of the
cabins being full of water, suffered severely, both front
withssteamer,
as the weather and from mental apprehension and anxiety,
on learning the extent of
till about mid-day, when the American ship Empire

deck.. It is but justice to add that all the parties re-
ceived on board the Empire State were treated with the
utmost kindness by Captain Russell, and provided with
everything which their immediate wants required. Some
auCdapa
time afterwards the Leeds was boarded by a boats' crew
from the steam-ship Rose, Captain Turnbull, from Glas-
gow, which arrivel in the Mersey on Sunday afternoon,
when Captain Turnbull addressed tne following letter to
the Underwriters'-rooms :—" Gentlemen,-1 beg toin-
form you that I sent our starboard lifeboat on board the
steamer Leeds, at nine o'clock this (Sunday) morning.
She had signals of distress flying, and was apparently in
a sinking state. The boat returned and reported that
there was no person on board. The forecastle deck was
about three feet under water, and the fore half-deck a-
wash. The cattle in the lower hold were all drowned, and
floating about. Of course I gave up all idea of taking
the Leeds in tow. I spoke the Royal William, and told
them that the Leeds was abandoned, and that I had left
her about twenty-five miles N. by W. from the Bell
Buoy.—Signedt JAMES TURNBULL, steamer Rose."—
It was the opinion of the parties on board the Rose that
the Leeds must sink before any assistance could reach
her. She was a very old vessel, but we have no informa-
tion whether or not she was insured. We are happy to
state that shortly after the arrival of the Rose, the pas-
sengers and crew of the Leeds were landed at this port/
from the Empire State.
