Loss of the Ocean Monarch.

Seldom does it become the duty of a
journalist to record so disastrous an event
as the loss, by fire, of the noble packet
ship Ocean Monarch, of Boston. She was
totally burned to the waters edge, off the
port of Liverpool, ana about one hundred
and fifty of Its passengers and crew either
fell victims TO the flames or we're drowned
amid the angry waves. There were on
board, at the time Of her destruction abou,
400 souls with the crew. This beauti-
ful ship was bull, at East Boston, and was
only on her fourth voyage across the AT
