BURNING OF THE SHIP OSTERVALD.
From The ". O. Picayree Of Muy I4l
The barque Harriet Spauding, Captain Booker
arrived at the levee yesterday, having on board the
two mates and sixteen men, composing the crew Of
the ship Ostervald Captain Jarvis, hence for Liv-
erpool, which was burned at on the 7th instant
when about 80 miles distant from the Balizp. We
learn from Mr.. S. Leach first officer, that the fire
was discovered at O'Clock, A. NJ, by the steward
OF the ship, while attending to his duties in the
cabin by feeling the excessive heat penetrating the
floor All hands called to duty, and attc.,
consultation it was deemed advisable to place the
twenty y-five thousand dollars specie, which was on
freight, together with the dunnage of men, into
the small boats and then to undertake the saving of
the ship if possible
The fire in the meantime made such headway,
having burned through the decks, that the captain
was forced to abandon the ship. The Bremen ship
Carl was in company with the Ostcrvad at the time
and went to her assistance. The captain, after tax
ing on board Captain Jarvis and the crew. com
menced to strip the Oservald of all the sails that
could be got at readily, taking two opgaant sails,
jibs, all the hawsers, the bell &c, together with
the S25 900 specie, and the sailors clothing
Captain Booker states that when he first discov-
cred the Ostervad, it was about nine O'Clock A. NJ.
He was then on the larboard tack, standing south
ward. He thought it was steamer, but, on going
aloft, he that it ship on fire, and made
for her; but before reaching her the mzzen mast
had burnt and fallen over, and the whole vessel was
in a light blaze by mid day. The Bremen ship Carl
bore down for him, and placed the whole of the
with their eHects, on the vessel.
We regret to state that Capt. Jarvis was com
PEELED by the captain of the ship Carl to remain
board his ship, with the specie, and when the boats
containing his crew were pushing off, he remarked
to them that he saw why he should be held
prisoner on foreign vessel, and forced to 90 to
a foreign port
The ship Ostervald was of 900 tons burden. was
six years old, and belonged to Captain Jarvis and
brother, residents of Castine, Maine. We under
stand that she was partly insured in Boston and
New York. The cargo was insured in Liverpool.

The trial0f Isaac l.. Wood for the murder of his
brother wife at Dansville, Livingston county, n.
Y, in June 1855, ended Saturday in the
conviction of the prisoner, after being prohacted

A WONDERFUL EscApE-The Auburn ADVERTISER
says that the escape of James A. Cox, of that city,
at the late disaster, wonderful:
"Mr. Cox seated in the third seat from the
front in the second passenger car-the that
made the first fatal plunge. The first passenger
cleared the bridge, leaving behind the trucks
wheels and floor. All the passengers escaped scr-
injury. The second car, following, fell, striking
against the abutment of the bridge, and shiv-
cred to atoms. Mr. Cox first heard the scraping OF
the two trains in the collision felt the tipping Of
the car the dreadful rush, plunge, and the awful
crash. The next instant he was standing on splin
ters so fine that twenty or thirty could be held in
one hand, the rain beating upon him and the most
profound stiffness reigning.
''This awful silence lasted a moment only, when
the terrible shrieks of the wounded and the fainter
nrOanS OF the Qynp, from the shattered
mass. Mr.. Cox, by slight effort, extricated him
self from the ruins and found himself entirely
harmed, except a slight and unmportant scratch on
his foot He felt the splintcrs flying past his head
below his feet to his knees ruins hcaped up;
on the left were the crushed remains Of the Mack
children; in front was the fatally wounded Perkins,
of Rochester, and almost beneath his feet the
remains of Moore, of Rising Sun, and the body of
lady transfixed by two stakes"
