LOSS OF A STEAMER.—DREADFUL LOSS OF
LIFE.
Considerable sensation was excited at Lloyd's to-day.
by the announcement of the loss M a large steamer, sup-
posed to be the Royal Adelaide, belonging to the City of
Dublin Steam Navigation Company. She was one of the
most powerful steamers plying between London and Cork,
and left the latter port on Wednesday last, being due in
London on Saturday last, but was not heard of till this
morning, when the captain of the Malcolm Brown, screw
steamer, which arrived last night from Guernsey, reported
that on Sunday morning, about nine, when off the North
Foreland, the weather being very stormy, the wreck of a
large steamer was discovered on the Tongue Sands, her
stern completely gOne, also her masts, funnel, and every-
thing swept clean off, and not a soul to be seen on board.
Her name could not be made out, and it was evident she
was fast breaking up. There had been a heavy gale dur-
ing the previous night. It is probable the steamer struck
on the sands about midnight, and that every body on
board perished.

A subsequent communication announces that the sup-
posed number of crew and passengers on board was nearly
two hundred. Two bodies have been washed ashore.
