The Wreck of Walkers Army.

The New York Times gives the fol-
lowing:
" The officers of the Wabash recently
arrived from Aspinwall, represent the
situation of these persons, on coming on
board at Aspinwall, as the most pitiable
that could be conceived. Long protracted
suferings and starvation had reduced
them to skeletons. They were covered
with loathsome ulcers, their amputated
stumps of arms and legs still unhealed,
while others were suffering from every
form and kind of gunshot wounds ; some
had nothing upon their persons but a
shirt, a poor one at that, while others had
only pair of drawers.
These poor creatures were immedi-
ately provided with the best portion OF
the ships between decks, where ham
mocks were slung for the most infirm,
and blankets and other bedding supplied
to them. They were all taken in hand
by the surgeon and his assistants, their
persons washed, their wounds dressed,
and everything done to relieve and make
them comfortable, but the labors and trials
of the officers in this short voyage, has
probably been the severest experience oi
of the kind they have ever seen, and the
hospiable manner in which they have
cared for these sick and helpless persons
does honor to human nature, TO say
nothing of the glory it reflects upon the
character of the officers of our Navy
i Contributions have twice been taken VI
among the officers and crews to relieve
their necessities, and clothing of all kind
has been given them.
The men generally speak in the mos
contemptuous terms of General Wake
and his management in Nicaragua /; tn
; women, some of whom are very intelligen
, use terms of the most scathing rebuk
towards Walker and his whole opera
tons. Some who were present at th
burning of Granada, speak of that afai
/ as the most wanton and useless outrage
! and say the soldiers were occupied
r plundering the town and drinking win
at the time they were surrounded an
driven into the church, where they su

LARGE QUANTITY OF LIQUOR SEIZED
IN GLovER.-On Sunday afternoon last
a large quantity of the ardent was seized
in Glover, by Deputy Sheriff Kimball.

"nice young man." (whose pane is with

than he could BEAR" for as he sat in his
Wagon, he would occasionally lurch
from side to side Of the vehicle, making
ii exceeding difficult for him TO be, for
the time being, " an upright man." On
Monday morning he was brought before
Justice Dwinnell and fined five dollars

conveniently be spilled.
When asked where he procured hi:
liquor, lac said he obtained ii of a Mr.

selling is an extremely Little business.

CRoPs IN MAINE.-A correspondent

bid fair for an unusual harvest. They

SECOND DISPATCH.

The steamer Montreal left Quebec last
night at six O'Clock, with five hundred
passengers, and when opposite Cape
Rouge a fire was discovered on board. 1t
spread with frightful rapidity. The
steamer Napoleon being near, ran along
side and rendered every assistance in her
power; but Notwithstanding, al least two
hundred persons are supposed to be lost.
The Napoleon succeeded in saving from
one hundred and seventy-fve to two
hundred.

DETAILED STATEMENT.
The steamer Montreal, one of the
regular steamers running between Quebec
and Montreal, left this port at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, having on board be-
tween four and five hundred passengers,
of whom a majority were Scotch and
other emigrants recently arrived from
Europe. Nothing unusual occurred after
leaving the wharf until the Montreal had
reached Point Cape Fudge, about twelve
or fifteen miles above this city, when the
wood work near the furnaces was dis
covered to be on fire. Almost at the
very moment that the smoke was first
: discovered, the flames broke forth, causing
the utmost CONSERVATION among the
: crowded passengers. The fire was first
discovered about five o'clock, when the
steamer was nearly abreast of Cape
Rouge. Every effort was made to ar
rest the flames, and for this purpose the
engines were stopped so as to lessen the
draft, but finding it impossible to save the
steamer, Capt. Rudolph ordered her tc
be run towards the shore, and at the same
time the officers and crew exerted them
selves to get out the life boats.
The flames spread with the most as
tonishing rapidity, and in a few seconds
after the steamer began to move forward
the widest confusion and despair prevail
ed throughout the ship, and numbers o
the passengers threw themselves over
J board and were in most cases drowned
) Fortunately the steamer Napoleon, ais
bound for Montreal, was but few mile
in advance of the burning boat and a
soon az the fire was discovered, put bacl
= with all possible expedition, and succeed
:, ed in rescuing from the burning wrec
l27 passengers. Capt. Rudolph and tn
- purser of the Montreal were amongst tb
number of those who threw themselve
into the river, and they being exceller
swimmers succeeded in reaching th
steamer Alliance and were saved. 1t
:, quite possible that others may have SUI
ceeded in saving themselves by swim
ming, but as the steamer became unmaI
ageable when a considerable distance frol
the land, there is no doubt but that mo
Of those who threw themselves from ii
burning boat found watery grave. Si1
D. teen of those saved died within a sho
lis time after they reached the deck of II
hit Napoleon, and from present informatic
d. it is believed the total loss Of life by th
g. terrible disaster will not fall short off
,rt tlfree to four hundred. The steam
in Alliance arrived here this afternoon wi
of 45 dead bodies, but we have not be-
by able to learn the names of any of tho
ITO lost. except of Norcross and Phillips,
ed Three Rivers. The Montreal had
of board 258 emigrants recently arriv
at. here from Glasgow, together with sever
rt. German families and raftmen, and sever
,as American passengers.
