LOSS OF THE STEAMER COLLIN
BIA,
New YoRk, July ll,1l A. NJ

NE" ORR, July III, q A, VI.
BY lludson's Express from Boston, via:
Albany, have Boston Courier of yes.
terday morning, which gives The sad news
of the loss of the fine steamer Columbia
on Seal island, off Townsend Bay, Nova
Scotia, on the I'd inst, at 2 P. NJ, " bile
slcaming al the rate of ~ knots. She
ran head on to the rocks, grounded and
heeled to port, with her bow high up and
her stern in deep water, Her false keel
soon came up alongside. Signal guns
were fired, and answered from Seal Island
Light, the keeper of which came Of to
their assistance. The passengers were all
landed on the Island, except one man,
who is missing. Information was sent to
Halifax Oh the third for a steamer.
The news was brought from Sea ISL
and to Mount Desert, by the schr. Three
Brothers, and an express sent to Portland
and Boston. by the Post Office, reaching
Boston on Sunday afternoon The mails,
freight, sc. were safely landed, but the
ship will be a total loss
When the ship struck she was in charge
Of Capt Harris, the weather being very
foggy at the time, and lays on the ledge
known OF Black Ledge
An attempt was wade at high water to
heave her of, having lighted the ship by
dlscharglng coal, anchors, sc, and in get
ting an anchor out astern and trying the
only engine that would work, but with
out success.
The passengers are well, but poorly
accommodated at Sea Island, which is oc-
cupied by only two families.

THE FATE OF AN ACTOR.

GEORGE llYATT.-We saw il stated in
"A paper lately, that this person is now a
common soldier in Maine. Fifteen years
ago, says the Mobile Herald, Hyatt was
the very soul of one of the most select
| circles in Bostoh-the best comedian in
the United States. and poet of the frs,
water. Some of his songs are even now
popular-the "Mellow IIorn." for in
stance, and several others that we cannot
now name. Hyatt married beautiful
girl, who in few years was obliged to
descend from the luxury of riches, and
take III washing for a subsistence; her
father lived in one of the most splendid
mansions in Boston-and nine years ago
she was dragging out a miserable existence
in cellar in New ork. At last she was
driven mad and died in the aims house.
Reader, you must know the secret of this
tale of misery! George Hyatt, the eduea-
ted, .favor-winning man of genius, was a
drunkard When he reflects upon his
past life, as he PAGES his lonely round al
night, what must be his thoughts? PITY
that he could not teach others to feel as he
feels then!

Capt. Parkinson, brought with him
from Vera Cruz II of the english sailors
who formed the valuable portion of the
crews of the Mexican steamers the Mon
lezuma and Gaudaloupc. They wrec all
that war and disease have spared of those
English who originally manned these
steamers, save two or three who had
squandcrcd all their money at Yer,
Cruz, and then re-enlisled and returned to
Campeachy. Capt. P. speaks of the sew
enteen who came over with him, as in
teIligent, able-bodied and excelIcu, sea
men.

intelligence from Campeachy. Tidings

bitter indeed was their chaSrin at being

STEAM-S SHIP COLUMBIA

The schooner Caravan arrived at Hall
fax on the 10Th inst, with materials from
the wreck ofrhe Columbia.
The steamship Margaret cleared at Hal
lax on Saturday afternoon, the Slh. under
the command of Captain Shannon, late Of
ne Columbia. The Margaret probably
left the next day; the 9th inst.
The Margaret had on board, as passen-
gers, when she left for Liverpool, six
ladies, forty-nine gentlemen, and eleven
IN the Storage. She also took seven cab
IN passengers from Halifax.
When the Columbia left Boston she
had seven'y-'hree cabin passengers for

exception OF half dozen, who remained
behind to await the arrival Of the ulber.
