LONDON, July %.


Catharine and Hannah, of and from Sun
derland, Capt. Lumsden, arrived in our har-
Dor on Thursday night and we have been
put in possession of the following distress
ing particulars. The Captain states, that
on the 4th May, he picked up boat belong
ing to the Superb, of and from Bristol for
Quebec, which ran foul of an Iceberg, on
the 21st of April, which stove her forward.
This unfortunate occurrence obliged all
hands to take to the pumps, at which they
continued without intermission for two days
and a night, when schooner hove in sight !;
and the Captain proceeded in the jolly boat
to entreat them TO take the crew. While the
Captain was so engaged, the vessel being
quite in a sinking state, the crew left the
pumps to get the boats out to leave her.
They succeeded in getting a boat, 1.-THE one
subsequently picked up) and seven men got
into her on which they unlocked the tackle,
slipped the ship, but could not regain her,
and it coming OH thick they could not find
the schooner, and the unfortunate men
were left to the mercy of an all wise God
without provisions, water, masts, sails, or
any thing that would enable them to strug-
gle for existence, save and except two
oars In this state, they we're buffeted
about for eleven days, not knowing in what
direction they were moving, and with feel
ings it is totally impossible to describe
when they were fallen in with by the Cath
crime and Hannah, the scene that pre-
scented itself was sufficient to appal the
stoutest heart-as it had already struck the
crew with horror OF the seven men only
uITyc. apuuiC
twenty-four hours after leaving the ship,
from their previous sufferings, and on their
bodies the others subsisted some time.
Three others were also dead in the boat
whose blood afforded drink and their bod
les substance to the wIetched men, who
lived to narIate the heart-rending tale-in
a word, they were endeavoring to prolong a
wretched existence by eating and drinking
each others blood and further to add TO
their misery they were dreadfully frostbit-
ten before death had terminated their suf-
ferings. Capt. Lumsden instantly took the
living men on board, but one of them only
survived about twentyfour hours. The 9TH
er survivor is so much frostbitten, that it is
thought his legs must be amputated; and
from all he has suffered his recovery is con-
sidered Doubtful. It seems that his being
able to sustain himself longer than his COM
panlons In misery, was owing to tobacco.
lie states that the mate, second mate, and
eight Of the crew were left on board tn
Superb, and when they parted her the car
penter was engaged in cutting away the
to get the long boat over the
side-it being washed to leeward against
them. 1t is to be hoped that Capt. Keane
remained on board the schooner, and lives
to give more detailed accountant that
we shall hear of the safety of those on board
the Superb.

BALLOON ACCIDENT. Mr.. Green, the
aeronaut assembled in his balloon from
Manchester on Thursday last, accompanied
by Mr. Straps of that town. After hav-
ing been in the air about an hour and
quarter, Mr.. Green, while throwing out the
grapnel over the moors of Derby Ridge,
was tossed out Of the car, but still kept a
hold of its edge, and remained suspended
in that state by the arms for some time.
While endeavoring to get again into the
car, sudden jerk, caused by the breaking
of the grapnel iron from its hold, preciptat-
ed him to the ground with great force, and
from considerable height. The balloon,
thus lightened, assembled with Mr.. Straps,
who, however, succeeded in bringing it and
himself safely to the ground, about half
mile from the spot where Mr.. Green had
fallen. Mr.. Green shortly came up, and
the two aeronauts Immediately returned,
with their machine, to Manchester, where
Mr.. Green now lies seriously indisposed,
from the effects of his awful accident.

RECOVERY OF DRowNED PERSONS. NJ. L.
D'Etoile, in letter to the French Academy of
Medicine states, that he has succeeded inyaria.
bly, in recovering drowned animals by the fol.
lowing galvanic application. A short and fine
needle is inserted into the sides of the body, be-
tween the eighth and ninth ribs so as to come
an contact with the attachment of the dia-
PnIagm, and then a current of electricity, from
twenty or thirty pairs of inch plates is passed
through them. The diaphragm then immedi-
