LOSS OF THE EARL OF

RODEN STEAMER

(From the C'orl; Constitution of Saturday.)

Tuesday was a remarkably mild day for the season of the
year up to five o'clock, when it suddenly became dark, and
shortly after rain poured down very heavily, accompanied by
a strong gale from the S.E. Towards night the wind moved
another point to the S. and it blew a gale during the night,
and up to noon on Wednesday, when it died away, the rain
ceased and the sun shone forth. About three o'clock on that
day, a messenger arrived in town reporting that the Earl of
Roden steamer was lost off Ballycotton. It appears that
this vessel was brought from Liverpool, for the purpose of
conveying a cargo to London, which the Hercules, the vessel
regularly on the line She had on

was unable to convey

provision merchants in this city. `--e understand that Gam-
ble Brothers had £1,500 worth in her; Burke Brothers,
#£3oo; Martin and Son, £430; besides shipments by Lun-
ham Brothers, Thomson and Son, &c. On deck of the ves-
sel there were 61 pigs and two cows; 40 of .the former be-
longed to Adams Brothers. There were but three passengers
on board who were steerage fares. The vessel, which was a
slow steamer, had kept on her voyage until midnight, when

that she was kept off the shore d

luring the night, on v

had she struck,'none of the crew or -passengers could have
been saved. Providentially, however, after daybreak her
commander, Captain Alexander Keay, run her into a creek
surrounded by rocks, called Ballylandeer, between Bally-
cotton and Poorhead. immediately on the vessel settling in
the sand, as every coming sea threatened to break her up,
the Captain took all necessary precautions, and had the decks
cleared, and the pigs and cows forced overboard, while at
the same time but three sailors and Captain Keay were on
board, the others having landed before safely. . The Cap-
tain kept her to till midnight, when it was discovered that the
vessel had sprung a leak. Every precaution was had re-
course to to stop it, but unavailingly, as the water rose in

Providentially she kept afloat until day broke, when the cap-
tain determined upon running her on the strand, where she

to pour down to the shore in thousands, and fears being en-
tertained that a collision might take place, un application
was made to the General, Sir Octavius Carey, for further
military assistance, and Thursday and yesterday large rein-
forcements were despatched. The vessel by last accounts
held together, but every returning tide is expected to wash
her to pieces.
