TerribIe CnIan,ilr.

The Steamship Star of the West, of the MIC
aragua line, arrived at New York, on Tuesday
morning, in eight days from San Juan. She
brings $9lS,6ll on freight, and four hundred
and ten passengers, and the full particulars of
a heart-rending disaster at Virgin Bay, by
which wenty-four persons on their way from
California lost their lives.
This melancholy catastrophe happened while
the passengers were passing from the shore,
at San Juan to the Steamer, and is attributed
to the carelessness of the officer in charge, in
overlooking the boat. The sea was very rough
the steamer, was some four hundred yards
DIR. ]. II. Grihen, one of the passengers de-
scribes the scene in the following words:
GAS wave after wave struck her, she was
seen to sink lower in the water, until at length,
when about one hundred yards distant, the
whole column of heavy sea rolled over her
entire length, filling her to the gunwale. A
scene of horror ensued which beggars all de-
scription. Cries Of terror simultaneously arose
from the launch, and the hundreds of specta-
tors, upon the steamer and on shore. The sea
was instantly covered with floating objects,
among which was distinguished many human
forms that had been washed from the boat, or
had thrown themselves overheard in the first
moment of alarm. Some were battling man
fully with the waves others yielding them
selves at once to despair, were sinking with
out an apparent effort at safety; their hands
as if in duplication, raised above their heads,
while in the midst of all was the launch, still
half filed with human beings, clinging in al
most helpless agony to each other"
The following is list of the persons drown
ed.

LOCAL ITEMS.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE. In another column Of
the paper, viii be found call for meeting
of the citizens of New Worcester, to consider
the recent outrageous assault upon citizen
of that village.
AS we learn the facts, Mr.. Daniel Alverson
was returning TO his home, few evenings
since, at about half-past nine o'clock, and
when at the junction of Gates's Lane and
Leicester srteet, he was suddenly attacked by
two men, who sprang upon him, from behind
wood pile and with the exclamation, "We
have waited for you long enough, accompa-
MED with an oath, commenced beating him in
the face and breast. Mr.. A. who is strong,
athletic man, succeeded in giving well d.
rected blow at the person of one Of his assail-
ants, which landed him in the ditch, and
Cheering himself from the other, he took to his
heels.
On reaching home, Mr.. A. found his face
considerably scratched and bruised, and that
his coat and vest had been cut through, evil
IDENTIFY with some sharp instrument, like
knife or dirk.
What makes the matter still more aggravat-
ing, Mr.. Alverson says he knows no reason
why any one should wish to iniure him. He
is unconscious of having injured any one, and
so far as we can learn, and he has been known
to some of our citizens from childhood, he
bears an ireproachable character.
