been expected, and sank very gradually. A
little before she went down, the motion of the
boat as she fell over on her side caused her
bell to strike single stroke-the knell, as il

danger betimes, land the men amongst them Join
ed the crew of the vessel and labOred long and
YEARLY in the execution of the orders of the
captain, who awaited himself of every resource
to keep his ship ahoat, and save the lives OF
those on board when the crisis came. The
scenes in the ladies' cabin were of the most
agonzing description, but it is idle to dwell up
on them.
1t is supposed that from so to &C, 900 dollars
in gold, silver and bank notes were lost in the
vessel, belonging i'll part to passengers, but
principally consigned here. There were no
goods in the hold of the vessel. The captain
lost from two to three thousand which he had
I in cash on board. Some drafts on the Post
Office Department, for about the same amount
were lost, but no other inconvenience than de =
lay will result from this.
The gale was also very destructive at Gal
weston OH Sunday night in which a Bremen
brig, name unknown, was blown ashore on
the Island, the flood damaging the wharves
| and a number Of the buildings, and overflow
ing the business part of the town.
