DIsGUsTIG ATRoCITY.-We find in the New

rage perpetrated upon the bodies of the un-
fortunate who were lost on Lake Pontchartrain
by the explosion of the steamer ST. James. A
band Of rovers upon the lake, having not only
mutilated the remains in the accomplishment of
their purposes
"A personal inspection of the male corpses
showed that such eff them as have on outer gar
ments, had their pockets turned inside out
Counsellor J. NJ Wolf, one Of the drowned,
was said to have had upon him n gold lever
watch, and over seven hundred dollars in bank
bills and other money. Several others who
were known to have been sitting up at the time
of the catastrophe, engaged in a game Of cards
and consequently with considerable sums about
them, were afterwards found floating with their
pockets completely rifed. One young lady,
with chaplet of sea-weed entwined i'm her all-
burn hair, had several of her fingers split from
knuckle to nail. She had worn rings, and the
ruifians had split her fingers to reduce the swell
ing of the flesh in order more readily to wiring
from them the garnished guards-the rings =
Another had her arm torn and gashed in the
same manner, that bracelet might be prated
from her stffened, yet beautiful limb. Anoth-
er-aye, another, showed the marks in her LAGER
ated ears whence the ear.drops had been torn
with avaricous haste by the cormorant fiends,
too, peradventure, tuggng for the prize. And

easy Sail the vessel, a new ship of four hundred
tons, well built and found, was struck by mon
strous whale on the bow, and the damage was
so great that the ship filled almost Immediately
"Finding that nothing could be done to save
her, the captain and crew, consisting of ten men
and passenger, hoisted out boat, in which,
after slowing away bag of biscuit ard little
water, they embarked, and in about fifteen min
utes after the vessel was struck she sunk For
three days and nights they were tossed about,
not being able to reach any ship, but on the 4th
day they were providentally seen by the Crusa-
der, and rescued from their perous situation
The Captain speaks in the highest terms of the
kindness and lberalty with which they were
treated by all on board of the Crusader. None
OF those rescued have preserved anything, and rs
they are destitute of necessaries, the French con-
sui w. Stuart Day, Esq, has shown his usual
kindness aud promptitude in providing for their
necessities.
