the steamer, coming from Cork. An inquest will be held
on the body this day.
TLIE CITY OF GIASGOW.—As yet no intelligence has
been received to relieve the gloom which envelops the fate
of this now long missing vessel, and even lingering hope'
begins to flutter in contemplatingthe picture of her probable
• fate. On Wednesday, a telegraphic message was received
by her owners from Cork, which at first seemed to
throw some light upon her destiny, but that solution.,
painful as it was, has been dispelled. It was to the fol-
lowing effect :—The captain of the ship Bolduar reported
that on the 21st of April, in lat: 45'30, lon. 35'54, he per-
ceived a large steamer, with black hull and funnel, and
drab inside, and having yellow paddle-boxes ; apparently
without any one on board, lying with a great list to port.
She Was observed to change the position of her head, and
suddenly disappear. The Bolduar steered for the point
at which she disappeared, and someboxes and biscuits were
observed floating about. When seen she was about two
miles off, and a barque appeared to be alongside of her.
This; it was conjectured. might be the City of Glasgow,
crippled by ice, or through some other cause, and making
for the Azores. The yellow paddle-boxes, it was thought
might have been her side-houses, which a' stranger might
have been mistaken regarding. And it was further con-
jectured that as no one was seen on board, the crew and
passengers had been taken off. Further inquiry was
made of the captain of the Bolduar, but he adhered to his•
statement in all particulars, adding his perfect conviction
that she had paddle-bores, and no side houses ; and far-
ther that she had timber bulwarks, while the City of
Glasgow had side • netting, but no timber bulwarks, and
being a screw-steamer, of course, had no paddle boxes.
The description of the foundered steamer, it' is said, cor-
responds in all respects with the appearance of the
Southampton. and West India steamers, and was directly
in the track pursued by those vessels.
