The Caledonia has as passengers for Bos.
ton, exclusive Of IS of the AZ survivors of the
ill-fated bark Charles Bartlett, of Plymouth
Mass, VIM. Bartlett, master, which, on
Wednesday, the 9th ult., at about 81 p NJ. =,
when 700 miles TO the westward of Cape
Clear, was run down by the steamer Europa,
and sunk in three minutes, with 13l passen-
gers and crew. The catastrophe occurred
during dense fog, and although the boats
OF the Europa were instantly lowered, and
every possible assistance rendered, only 40
out of the l76 souls were saved. The Cap
tain, second mate and ten of the crew were
among the survivors.
The Europa is acquitted of all blame, not
only by the survivors, but by the unanimous
voice of the British press and the public A
subscription of 1852 was promptly raised by
the passengers of the Europa, TO which the
proprietors have added EGO. They Likewise
offered to carry the whole of the survivors
from Boston 10 New York free of all expense
The Charles Bartlett was bound from Lon
don to New York with Immigrants, and had
on board 450 tons of merchandise, consisting
chiefly of lead and chalk.
r. B. Forbes, Esq, passenger in the Eu-
ropa, behaved with surprising gallantry upon
the occasion, and has been presented with
the gold medal of the Liverpool Shipwreck
and Humane Society. The Europa sustained
no material damage by the collision.
Capt. Bartlett gives the following particu.
lars of the collision with the Europa

of the poop deck, heard Il rumbing to wind

to windward and my eye TO the horizon. The
man at the wheel, noticing that was listen

chance of escape. There were nearly one

foot of the after hatch, that she was stove
clear TO leeward, and that full 90 feet of her
side was stove in. There must have been
nearly so persons killed by the collision
Every exertion was made by Captain Lott,
his officers and crew, and the passengers on
board the steamer. The boats were lowered
as soon as possible. Unfortunately, only
about 10 were saved by the boats the bal
ance, numbering 49, more or less, saved
themselves by hanging to the bow. The
steamer lay by the scene of the disaster as
long as there was any hope of saving any of
the sufferers.
