LATEST INFoRMAr1oN.-An extra train arrived
at the Brooklyn station at o'clock last evening,
from Norwich and New London. This train
brought on the bodies of Alderman Burbank, of
the City of Brooklyn, and Mr.. Kimball, merchant
Of this city. Mr.. Cornell, the ticket master Of
the Long Island Railroad Company, was charg-
ed with the train, it being the return of the ex-
press that left on Saturday; he left Norwich yes
terday, Sunday, ut half past IL o'clock, and New
London soon after. He informs us that all the
bodies but one, had been claimed by their
friends. The Mohegan returned to Norwich
about 8 o'clock on Saturday evening with four
additional bodies from the island, (among them
Doctor Weston,) three OF whom were forwarded
to Boston yesterday.
The shore appears to be strewed with parts Of
the wreck, &c. The valuable valise of Adams 4
Co., was found some three miles from the point
where the Atlantic struck.
The Mohegan returned Immediately and an
chored near the island, and a competent force Of
hands was yesterday at work recovering what
ever could be obtained. The agent of the New
York underwriters was engaged at the island.
Mr.. Cornell crossed in the steamboat New
Haven from New London to Greenport. He states
that view of the wreck of the Atlantic is quite
distinct, being less than half a mile to the west
of the place where she struck, and where there is
cove with safe anchorage
Captain Van Pelt of the Mohegan has been
unremitting in his exertion in reclamg the
bodies of the unfortunate victims. watch il
constantly on duty along the extent Of the shor,
of the island.
The bodies Of Alderman Burbank, and Mr..
Kimba came on in charge of their friends, who
left this city on Saturday for that object.
Il was reported that large amount OF money,
which Alderman Burbank had with him, had
been taken from his person by some one not
authorized Such was not the case, the money,
$500. was handed into the office Of the Norwich
and Worcester Railroad Company by Capt. Will
liams, of the Cleopatra.
Both Mr. Kimball and Mr. Burbank were highly
esteemed cntizens of Brooklyn, and the latter, at
the time of his death, was President of tho Board
of Aldermen. Both have families Mr. Kimball
leaves a wife and five children No tongue can
speak, nor pen describe the distress and desola-
uon brought so suddenly upon these amiable
families. Suffice it to say that their bereavement
and lamentations are heart rending in the ex-
treme.
Mr.. Burbank has been in public life for a num-
Der of years, and was a member of the last Leg
islature. Mr.. Kmball was at the head of the
firm which succeeded Messrs. Spotford, Tileston
s. Co., of this city.
