LOSS OF THE OCEAN MONARCH.

We have further accounts of the disas-
ter to this vessel, and the dreadful loss Of
life which ensued:
The Ocean Monarch, Capt. Murdoch,
leil Ii, erpool on the Path OF August, with
800 steeragr passengers, 6 in the first
and % in the second cabins, and with her
crew, had on board 399. She had not
proceeded far, however, beforethe utmost
consternatidh was produced by an an
nouncement that the ship was on fire (;
and scarcely had the alarm been given,
when she was in a complete blaze.
At the time the fire was discovered,
the vessel was about eight miles to the
eastward of the Great Armshead, and Sc
veral vessels were in sight and signals of
distress were immediately answered by a
yacht belonging'lo Sir Thomas Lntledale,
which was about six miles distant.
Mr.. Liltledale was himself on board,
and at once bore down to render what as
sistance was in his power.
The Brazilian frigate Alfonzo was out
on a pleasure excursion she was COM
manded by the Marquis de Lisbon. There
were also on board the Prince de Join
vile, his lady and suite; the Duke and
Duchess de Aumale, the Brazilian Minis
ter, de Chevillier D'Lisbon; Admiral
Greenfelt and daughters, and other distin-
guished individuals.
Four boats were al once lowered, and
were soon followed by the large paddle
box boat. The Marquis De Lisbon pass
ed into one, and Admiral GreehEelt inio
the other. They were untiring in their
exertions 10 save the poor people. Prince
de Joinville was particularly assiduous in
assisting the passengers on board their
frigate.
Of those on board the Queen Monarch,
thiriy-two were saved by the Queen OF
the Ocean, l6o by the Allonzo. l6'by a
fishing smack, and II by the Prince Of
Wales, being total Of 225 saved-lear-
ing 81 10 be accounted for.
The New World was in the neiehbor-
bood, and sent her boats, and was the
means Of saving great number. A no
BILE fellow. seaman, belonging 10 the
New World, went TO the wreck when
there was little hope % saving any more,
and stuck to the hulk of the vessel until
every soul had left her.
1t ia said that this prsisewOrthy individ-
ual with hisow hands, low cred 100 per-
sons TO the boats below, Of whom great
portion were women and children. The
s;ewardess Of the Ocean Monarch lost her
life in courageously attempting 10 get the
powder out of the cabin. There were a.
bout % pounds on board. and when she
went below TO ess il, it was supposed she
sHffocated.

FROM SANTA FE-THE QUICK
EST TRIP YET.

Mr.. Aubry passed down on the steam
er Bertrand on Thursday last, the 2lst
inst, bringing news from Santa Fe up 10
the 18th inst. We are Informed that he
made the trip from Santa Fe 10 Independ-
encc in five days. This is the most ex-
traordinary ride of which we have any
recollection, and may be set down as one
of the remarkable feats OF The day Mr..
Aubry brought in slip from the office of
the Santa Fe Republican, dated Eth inst,
from which we CLEAN the following Items.
Santa Fe was peaceabe and quiet, and bu-
siness was as brisk as usual at this season
Of the year.
Company H., lst Dragons, command
ed by Lieut.. Buiord, arrived in Santa Fe
from Fort Gibson on the 9th Sept, all in
lihe health,
Brig. Gen. Price had left that place for
the U. States in the latter part of August,
accompanied by his staff and the entire
volunteer corps. The galAnt Generaland
his brave melf will, therefore, soon be ID

1t. Col. Washington, the newly ap-
pointed civil and military Governor Of N.
Mexico, was expected 10 reach Sahta Fe
BY the goth of the month. He lell CHI.
huahua on the 59th OF August, with two
companies OF Dragons and one Of light
Artillery, and FIVE companies'of Dragons
for California. There was report that
a large LOT OF Government stock had been
run off by the Indians near San Miguel.
and also large lot from the vicinity Of
Taos.
A petition was in circulation in differ
ent parts Of the Territory, asking the Gu
vernment for troops TO garrison the from
tiers. II was seriously apprehended i!is.
the ihhabltants were moi sufficiently pro-
tected against incursi5ns from the savage

Later from .lkcGiCO.

We received last evening
from friend in NJ obile a file Of
the FREQ Iris, of Vera Cruz,
coming down to the Goth of Au-
gust--fye Or six days later than
we have before received.
We see no allusion in the pa
pers to Paredes or any of his
projects. Nor are any other
revolutionary designs mention
ed--now that the MazatIan in
surrection is suppressed---save
the project OF the Sierra Madre
republic.
The anniversary of the battle
Of Churubusco, the Goth of Au-
gust, was to be celebrated in
the city of Mexico with appro-
pirate ceremonies. The Bat
talon of independence, which
was engaged in that bloody af-
fair, was to leave the city the
night previous and 6ivouac up
on the battle field, and the next
day return with the mortal re-
mains of those who fell in the
action. The National Palace
was to be draped in mourning,
the national flag to be at halt
mast, and the citizen generally
called upon to take part in the
funeratceremonies over'the vic
tins of the bloody conflict,
whose remains were TO he de-
positedih the cemetery of Santa
Paula.
Preparations are already ma
king in Mexico for a grand pub
lie funeralon the 8th of Febru-
ary next, for Col. Baltferas, who

Molina del Rey.
The Sglo XIX, complains of
the frequency'and audacity with
which robbefries are still COM
mitted in the city. They take
place in the middle of the day
and in the heart'of the city.
The Mexicans at last appear
to be arousing at the prospect of
a descent upon Tampico and
Vera Cruz. from the | nited
States. The FREQ Iris alludes
to the subject with the bitterest
feeling, and treats the pretext of

Editorial Promiay!-The following j.
tenn which we take from the last No. ol
the Platte Argus, is certainly very nise
specimen of editorial courtesy, and one
which, in the opinion Of the Argus, is, no
doubt, well calculated 10 elevate the press
in the public estimation. Our own opin-
ion is, that such language, come from what
party it may. adds nothing TO the decency
OF respectabiliy'Ofsthat party, but rather
serves 10 lower theinfluence of those who
may show such glariIg want of that
courtesy due from one member of the fra
terniiy to another. lii the language of the
Argus, we think can editor must be hard
run for currency when he resorts 10 the
disreputable practice of" giving The lis
on every triiling occasion. Coms, broth
er Argus, act upon your own good advice
to others, and reform this unnecessary
practice. But here is the chaste item to
which we refer:

thai Gen. Qnitman will cast his vote for

I he town of St. Pierre has
