LOSS OF THE HIBERNIA

. .
The melancholy account of the loss of the Hibernia,
from Liyerpool to the Cape of Good Hope, has already
appeared, but the enclosed details, from authority, will
no doubt prove interesting to the relatives and friends of
those who were saved, and serve as a confirmation of any
doubt as to the loss of the remainder of the crew and pas-

stingers.

TRACT OF A DESPATCH FROM MR. CONSUL HESKETH, RIO
JANEIRO TO VISCOUNT PALMERSTON, SECRETARY OF STATE

FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
"On the 21st of February, the arrival of the convict ship
Lotus, John Sommerson, master, Superintendent Doctor
brook, R.N., was reported at this office with sixty-two persons.
n board, picked up on the Ljth instant, in lat. 7. 12. S., and
long. 26. 19., W., in two boats, having escaped from the Bri-
tish ship Hibernia, William Brend, master, which vessel
was destroyed by fire on the sth of February in lat. 4. 20, S.,
long. 20. 30: W., on her voyage from Liverpool to the Cape of
Good Hope, Hobart-town, and Sydney with 209 passengers
and a crew of 23 men and officers, making a total of 232 per-,

sons on board.
"On the 22d of February the Brittsh brig Isabella, Le Flere,
master, arrived with 17 more persons saved from the disastrous
loss of the Hibernia.
"The enclosed statement describes the persons who suffered,
and those landed at this place, 153 unfortunate fellow-creatures
having perished.
"The contligration was accidental, but the cause of such
extensive loss of life was the lamentable insufficiency of the
boats, not only as to the extent of succour they were calculated
to afford, but also their bad and unserviceable state, and the
great sacrifice of life which this culpable negligence has occa-
sioned may, in all probability, meet legislative attention and

protection.
I also enclwie a list of all those who perished, with a descrip-
tion of each individual, and a similar list of all who were saved.
" Tht se distressed beings were landed from the Lotus and
Isabella on the 22d ; the passengers are lodged in the most eco-
nomical way on shore, and the crew distributed amongst the
British shipping; all are quite destitute of clothing; I have
supplied such as is indispensably requisite.
" I have determined on sending to their destination the pas-,
sengers saved from the Hibernia, for which purpose a vessel is
in the act of being hired, and I expect they will go on board in
a few days. _

" It isjgratifying to couple with such distressing occurrences
the announcement of a considerable subscription, at present on
foot amongst the British residents, in aid of their distressed
countrymen. ROBERT HESKETII."

are no longex the order of the day.

was, on Wednesday evening-, read a third time and
passed in the Commons ; carried to the Lords, there read
a first time, and ordered for a second reading on Monday
next.
