AWFUL CALAMITY.

Burning Of the Steamer Montredt-Ihree
Hundyed Lives Lost--MQny others
Wounded.
A telegraphic despetch dated Quebec,
June 9th. furnishes the following account
of the burning of the steamer Montreal and
the loss of some three or four hundred lives.
The Montreal left Quebec at four o'clock
Yesterday afternoon for Montreal. with tour
or FIVE hundred passengers. mostly Scotch
emigrants. recently arrived from Europe.
Nothing unusual occurred until the steamer
reached Cape Range, twelve or fifteen miles
shoye Quebec, when the woodwork near
the furnaces was discovered to be on hre.
Quickly after the flames broke forth, eaus-
ing the utmost CONSERVATION among the
passengers. Every possible effort was
made to appease the flames, but to no pur-
pose. Captain Randolph, finding it impos-
sible to save the steamer, ordered her to
run toward the shore. The officers ara
crew of the Montreal exertcd themselves at
the same time to get out the life boats.
The flames spread with the most aston
ishing rapidity, and the widest confusion
and despair prevailed throughout the ship
A number of passengers threw themselves
overheard and were drowned.
Fortunately, the steamer Napoleon. also
for Montreal. was but few miles i'll ad-
vance Of the burning boat and pat back,
with all possible expedition to her assis-
lance.
The Napoleon succeeded in rescuing
from the burning wreck q hundred and
twenty-seven passengers.
Capt. Randolph and the purser of the
Montreal were amongst those who threw
themselveo into the river. Both being ex-
cellent swimmers they succeeded IN reach
ing. the steamer Alliance, and we're saved.
1t is quite possible that someof the others
succeeded in saving themselves by swmm-
ing but as the steamer became unmanagcabe
when n considerable distance from land, no
doubt the most of those who threw them
selves from the burning boat met wHtery
grave.
Sixteen of thoss who were saved died
shortly after reaching the deck Of the Ma
poleOn.
From present information it is believed
that the total loss of life by this terrible
disaster will not fall far short of three or
four hundred persons.
The Montreal bad on board two hundred
and fifty eight Scotch emigrants, several
German families and several American pas
sengers.
