FIVE days, when johnson became delIrious and
Jumped into the sea and drowned.
He was picked up by the Streck on Mon
day, the 18th, having been eight days atioat,
caught some water in the panels of a door ne
had with him, which assisted in sustaining life.
The fact of the steamer passing Ship Island
shoaI at shutdown on Saturday, was corFob-
Grated by the crew of the lightsship ON that
station; ana judging from the time elapsing be,
tween that and the accident, she must have
been within 80 miles of the Southwest Pass.
Examinations were made between Last Isl.
and and Barataria, on Timbalier and Gallon
Island and vicinity, by the officers of the Essay,
OnS. hoping 10 find some of the bodies, but
none were seen.
They were informed that a body, with black
whiskers, dressed in blue clothes, Captain
Thompson's habitual dress) had been found
near the wreck of the John Roaless, near Las
fourche Inlet. Lieutenant Stevens landed
there, but could find no people about, and was
unable to get any definite information.
From all that was learned, it is probably too
true that the steward, Jim Frisbee, is the only
survivor.

rors in almost momen!aFy anticipation Of bs@
ing driven into the bay on this hulk, knowing
her anchors could not hold her, and with the
heartrending conviction that all the rest of the
500 souls on Last Island, but Our own party,
were lost. At last it was discovered that q
bank Of sand had formed to leeward of Oug
craft, and a sense of security increased. Be-
fore day dawned Mr.. Wadsworth and Charles
Bayless made their way on board and brought
the welcome news that some were still alive on
the wrecks of ~cisterns and timbers near by
When daylight dawned we were gladdened,
more than the most sanguine could have anti
cipated, by the faces (how pitiably altered,) Of
the many that were saved, who were welcomed
and provided for as well as circumstances
would admit of, while corresponding feelings
of gloom would creep over US as individuals,
and whole families were missed from among
the exhausted sufferers.
BY public demonstration and subscription, in
some small way, the gallant conduct Of Capt.
Smith, Capt. Cary, Mr.. Miller, Briggs and o.
Tiers on the Star have been noticed, but ! will
not refrain from placing before the public the
name Of Capt. Thomas Ellis, Of T'errebonne,
who, / am informed, was most conspicuous and
useful in saving The hulk Of the Star and the
lives Of the ladies' on board of her; bpt who,
with Mr.. ]. B. Murphy, of st. Mary's, DR.. Lyle
and Mr.. Winter, Of West Baton Rouge, Capt..
Gates. MessKS- Leblanc, Jackson, Smith, Ma
%iancon, Pugh, and many other gentlemen were
particularly conspicuous in their exertions TO
relieve the sutFtrings of the destitute females
that survived, aud all will join me in q proper
need of praise TO my friend DR.. Alfred Dupe-
rier, of 81. Martins, for bis aid and attentions TO
the wounded. Under the peculiar eircumstan-
ces such examples Of abnegation of self do
honor to the gentlemen named. There IL "a

The Influence Of the London TInes.--It may
not be generally known, says a contemporary.
that the leader Of the Times is telegraphed
every morning to all the principal towns of Ems
gland; then written out in large letters and afo
fixed to q bulletin board and placed in the pub
lie Exchange. At Glasgow, Liverpool, Msnches-
ter. and other towns of less Importance crowds
Of merchants and others may be seen early in
the day reading this article! Asis thus, in effect
does the thinking for the mass of the middle
classes OF Great Britain, its Influence with
then, must be very great. 1t is dficuit, in fact
to understand its extent and power which no
class, We presume, aud not even the Govern
ment can deny.

Rnre Occurrence.

A few days after the gale of the 10th, Mr..
C. w. KEEP, of Crosse Tete, being DESTROYS
of visiting P~laquemine, got in a skitf with his
family, at his plantation above Johnston'z
store, and came doOn stream the whole of The
way to PIaquemine. The rarely of this oc"
currence will be better understood when We
inform the reader that bayou PIaquemine.
doDn which he came some ten miles, runs d.
rectly opposite, usually, on a fall of twelve
feet in as many miles. The water running in an
opposite direction for week after the storm
(bayou being previously dry was caused by the
great overflow from the sea-swelling the
lakes and bayous, and then pouring it's waters
out mo the Mississippi though bayou Plaque
mine, and emptying into the river with the
roar Of a cataract. The water was brarkish,
proving that it came from the Gull, and in the
bayou were found a number of crabs and other
salt water inhabitants.
