Wreck ofthe Charleston Steam Packet ITillidm
Gibbons.-The Steam Packet Wm, Gibbons, which
left New York for Charleston on the Sth inst. was
wrecked at New Inlet at O'Clock in the morning
OF the 10Th. The passengers lao in number, Il
large portion OF which were ladies and children,
were landed on Boldly Island, and proceeded thence
10 Pea Island, whore they remained two DAYS and
nights, slmoSt entirely Nithou, iood-sheltered by
two fsherman's hu,s found on the Island. Their
sutierings. We are informed by one of the Pussen-
gers, were very great, and their loss in baggage
and other property very considerable. The boat
is u total loss ana no insurance. The cause OF the
disaster cannot be exactly known. She went ashore
before the gale commenced and 1t is the opinion
of the passengers generally that 1t was wholly ow-
ing TO want of care. The Captain, Halsey, we
are informed, neglected to land any kind of pro-
vision with the passengers, and his conduct
throughout was highly reprehensiSe. The crew
plundered the passengers of their baggage 10 a
considerable amount, cut open their valices, band
boxes, &c. They were left, says our informant
10 get away from Chiccamecomico, where they
were afterwards landed, the best way they could,
