posED TIE CITY OF GLAssow.-Cep- McteaTy Of
the bark Mary Morris, from Glasgow, arrived yeS'es
dss. reports: lsh August in lat Sc 90 long is'o
zen 10 With ihe hull OF lsrgeir0n vessel painted BLACK
with a bright red bottom, apparently Clyde
bull, vessel; had three or four Compartments the
wood work entirely burned out; sent some men Aois
10 look into her, some Of -hOm report seeing ma
cbiuery in her. Il was very thick st the time,
with heavy sea Mex; day fell in with and TOOK
on board su-length female figure head, about seven
feet in hight has q wreath on her head with gut
Stripes On her dress hands extended The 6yure can
be seen on board the vessel st foot of Priest. u IS
the impression on board the bark that the wreck was
that of en- iron propeller and dOub! that OF the City
Of Glasgow.
Hi. possible nay even probable, that tho above
was ell that remains of the City of Glasgow. II may
be that her and passengers persisted by fire. and
,h., their chsrred remains strew her bold with me-
nentoes Of their fate. 1t may be that the iron hull,
upipi-red, stin floats up and down the ocean until
some tempest shall engulf IT, or some lone shore re-
ceive and hide il forever. The agonizing suspense
that sgitstes not the friends of her passengers and
crew alone bat the great body Of the people Of Amer
ice ard Great Britain, should have induced Capt Nc
Lesry to lay by the wreck Until an opportunity pro-
sented for boarding her, or obtaining some denni'e
know ledge OF what vessel she wss That he did not
do 20 il. we think, nexcusabe. Better that he had
spent weeks lowering around the wreck, go that he
had brought TO humanity some solution Of the mys-
terious fate Of over 300 human beings
IOur Philadelphia correspondent telegraphs that the
City of Glasgow had such fgurehead as that
picked up by tho Mary Morris She had, however,
o red bottom and the fgurehead may have belonged
10 some other vessel
