HER PROBABLE FATE.

In an article on the perls OF the sea, the
New York Courier states that the steamer
Baltic sailed from New York on the 4th Of
March last, and on the 9th encountered ice
in lat 46, long. AZ. Having then no definite
idea Of the quantity and exien. Of The ice,
the Baltic for few days held her course, a,
very low rate Of speed but it soon became
apparent that a continued effort 10 force the
ship through the lishtest and most broken
ice would tear the wheels from her sides,
and every eifor, was then made to ex,rica,e
The ship from The ice, without regard TO at
tanning more eastern longitude. She cleared
tse ice on The lilh, being hen two degrees
10 the southwark, and half degree 10 The
westward of her position three days before
On that evening a terrific gale, veeiing from
southwest TO northwest commenced, and
continued till the nex, day, and nautical men
on BOARD The Baltic agree that no ship in the
ice could have wiihslood that storm. There
is Just reason for fearing that the City of
Glasgow was in the vicinity of that ice field
and experienced that gale, and that the
crushing mountains of ice upon the devoted
snip cansed her speedy destruction, as no
skiii, strength or courage in the power of
man conld resist such combination of ele-
mental strife. She left Liverpool on The ls,
consequently on The 1llh, she must have
been within four or five days sail of Phla-
de'pha, which would bring her in The neigh
borhood of the ice encountered by the Baltic,
and nearly al The same time. Il is painful
to yield the last hope of ship laden with
so many human souls, but desire for her
safety can no longer resist The inevitable
conclusion that she has gone to the bottom
with her precious Ireisht.-Pubtic Ledger.
