TpaR,gLE COLLISION AT SEA- Over
One Hundred Lives Lost.--The tele-
oraph announced on Saturday another
swful and heart-reuding disaster al sea
similar in many its details 10 hatwhich
be(el the il-fated steamship. Artic, and
by which more than hundred persons
met with waiery grave or perished mis-
ersbly of cold and hunger. From the
New York papers we gather the follow.
ing details Of The calamity.
On Saturday, November lst, the Iron
screw steamship LIE Lyonnais. Capt. De-
vaulse, sailed from New York for Havre
with thirty-eighl passengers crew con-
sis,ing of ninely-tour men including !he
officers, an assorted cargo valued III all at
SAG 262, and s20,O in specie.
Onthe night of Sunday, the ID lnsi.,--
the nigh, being very dark--'he ship was
RIM into by an unknown vessel, when
Immediately bore away, apparently with
ont being much injured, but without OF
lering any assistance 10 The steamer. Le
I.vonnais was struck we'll aft, aud her al
"
ler compartments, which were very large
Immediately filed with water anu VEN
down 80 as 10 throw her bow hlgh Ia INC
air. The utmost confusion prevaiieu 'os
short time on board the steamer ou' Or
der was soon restored and the crew I'M
mediately set about constructing far.-
The ship was provided with SIX ooa's,
Two of which were life boats. One OF
the laier only has been heard from.
On Monday morning a, day break "
was decided iha, i, would be no longer
sale 10 remain upon the wreck. ABOUT
forty persons, including passengers, were
GOT on board the raft and the boats ~eto
then launched. One of these was oroAe"
nm immediately and these on board clam
bered upon the raft. Ii is supposed hat
HE raft has gone 10 pieces and all on ooaru
persisted, but there IS room TO nope >WA'
some of Them may have been saved.
In another boat was the commander
with some of the passengers. The boat
was well provided with PROVISIONS COM
masses, &c. Ii was the intention ol the
captain 10 pull for Montank Point. The
boat has NOT vet been heard from.
Another boat contained the second
mate, Lagucre, The second engineer, Des-
four. and several Of the crew aud passen-
gers. This is the only boat heard from
SO far.
The list, then, is---saved sixteen mis-
sing and probably lost, l6.

Winter.

The melancholy days Of Autumn are
passing away. The crisped foliage oil the
trees have left the parent stems, and be-
come The sport and Plaything OF the view
less winds that come bowling down upon
us in cold and shivering blasts from the
frozen hills Of the North. Under their
frosty fingers all things are bighted
"Fled is the blasted verdure of the fields
And, shrunk into their beds, the howery race
Their sunny robes resign. Even what remand
or stronger fruits fall from the naked tree;
And woods, fields, gardens, orchards,a around
The desolated prospects fills the soul"
And soon from out the North, Winter,
with his icy letters, will come TO mantle
the earth with his robes Of virgin white
ness. His rude blasts are whistlng
mournhlly around US even now, and soon
we shall behold
"a sable pail Of sky-the bllowy hills
Swath'd IN the snowy robe that Winter throws
So kindly over nature the skeleton trees
FeigDed with rich Silver drapecy, and stream
Dumb in its frosty chains"
