Dreadful SPscTAcLE-It will be remembered
that the Russian line Of battle ship Lefort lately
capsxed at MONDAY, in the Bay of Finland, carry
ing down twelve hundred persons, Of whom nearly
four hundred were females. A diver lately de-
scended to the wreck and referring to this. wri-
ter In the London Times, from st. Petersburg,
says:
''Sueh persons were on deck at the time were
OF course at once washed away, but the divers
found no les, than llc0 corpses in the cabins be-
tween decks, and In the hold OF the vessel, all
ciinging to portion of the tmbers of the ship
or TO each other. The horror Of this fearful sight
appears to have been aggravated by the circun1-
stance that the bodies were already far gone In de-
competition, and with few exceptions the eyes were
wide open aud giaring. The effect of this dread
fnl spectacle on the divers was such, that one of
Thorn WAS totally unable for many days to recouat
the CHASTITY scenes he had witnessed down in that
hive of putrefying corpscs, and on his persistent
refusal to repeat his visit there, was sent home"
