TIE REV. Dr. ARMSTRONG. This diStn-
guished divine was among tho unlortunate;
victims of the wreck Of the steamer Atlantic.
He was the Secretary of tbs American Board
Of Missions, and was highly esteemed. A let
ter IN the Newark Advertiser says:
He left Boston ON Wednesday evening, took
the Atlantic below Norwich, and expected TO
reach home on Thursday morning.
He spent the day of Thursday, during the
gale, in preaching to the passengers aud pray
ing with them, inspiring thom with calmness
and hope, while all were looking forward to a
speedy wreck, and a grave in the deep.
When the steamer struck ground, the pas
sengers leaped overheard, to make for shore,
part were borne by the wave to land, and 9th
ers, among whom was our friend, were caught
by the return waves, dashed among the rocks,
and we're lost.
The melancholy intelligence was just now
communicated to his afflicted wife and chill
dren, by two of the clergymen of this city
but who shall speak of the scene
The deepest sympathy and grief are ex
pressed among numerous friends; and gloom,
seldom seen even in the midst of calamity
pervades all hearts.
