address, The total receipts were near $l2,-
900. On Thursday afternoon, the Chief of
Police made visit to the Fair, and soon af-
forwards two notorious pickpock cts were dis.
covered in the Fair, exercising their nefarious
operations. They were both taken into Gus
tody, and by the order Of the Chief put at
once on exhibition. They were each provid-
ed with large placard, attached with string
around their necks, labelled :" Pickpockets.'
The rogues were then walked around the
Fair, under an escort of policemen, in order
that the people present might be gratiied by
the sight of live pick pockets. The novel ex-
hibition caused considerable excitement, and
hundreds of people followed after them.

New YoRK, Oct. IL, 1854.
The Collins steamer Arctic is lost. She
left Liverpool on the Goth ult., with 250 pas
sengers and crew all told of 175. On the 9th, at
IL M, in dense fog, about forty miles from
Cape Race, she came in contact with large
iron barque-rigged propeller, bound 10 the
eastward, all sail set.
The Arctic was going lS knots per hour.
The shock to the Arctic appeared slight, but
to the propeller it was frightful. The boats
were ordered to the relief of the prop eler,
and one containing the chief mate, boatswain,
and three sailors left. 1t was then discovered
that the Arctic had sustained injuries, and
that the water was running into her bows.
The pumps were vigorously worked and an
anchor chain thrown overheard, but in spite
of all exertions, the water extnguished all
the fires and the engines stopped. -Four of
the five life-b boats believed to have been
well provided, containing the engineers, sail
ors, and all the officers except the captain, and
the Sd mate left the ship at an early stage.
The majority Of the passengers were work
ing at the pumps and firing signal guns. and
others launching spars under the direction of
Capt. Luce and Mr.. Dorian, to form raft.
A panic suddenly sc zed all on board and
a rush was made for the raft. large num-
Der got upon it and into the boat, the sea was
then flush with the dead lights, and in few
moments more the Arctic sunk, and all on
board of her persisted.
Among those last seen on the quarter deck,
while fastening lie preservers on the females
who must have sunk with the ship, or per-
ished on the raft, were Capt. Luce and son,
Mrs. E. K Collins, master Govt Collins, the
Duke De Grammont. of the French embassy,
George Steward, wife and child, Amy, a col
ored girl, and Mary, the stewardess, Miss
Jones, Mr.. Petre and lady, Stewart Hollis
Washington, do. J. Cook, Opelousas, La,
with many more.
A Mr.. Comstoclk, brother to the command
er Of the Baltic, was drowned by the capsizing
of a boat while being lowered. AT o'clock
in the afternoon Of the 2Sth, the survivors in
the boat espied sail, and raised a handk erchief
to attract attention, which they succeeded in
doing, and found the vessel to be the barque
Huron, of st. Andrews. N. B., Capt. A. Wall,
bound to Quebec, which took them all on
board.
The raft was seen in the distance with one
poor man only clinging to It, The boat was
Immediately sent and rescued him. He stated
that after the Arctic sunk, he counted seven
ty-two men and four women OH it, but ut
l-2 o'clock, p. NJ, he was the only one
alive.
Thirty persons alone are known to be safe,
picked up by the Barque Huron, aud eighteen
of them afterwards transferred to Barque
Lebanon.
Two passengers only are numbered among
the list of saved.
