Last night at late hour Mr.. Arthur, the active
and intrepid manager of the Sleam-tug boats, caused
the fuel of the Victoria TO be increased, aud went
on, to the vicinity oihc wtecks,to give what assistance
could be rendered. Unfortunately, the night was
dread(uly severe bosterous and piercing wind
with keen frost, snow, thunder, and hghtniug
combined to augment the sulicrings OF The poor crea-

quit her. The sight on board was most heart rend

having pershed from the severity of the weather.
