The N. Y. Herald of Tuesday last says:--
ssOur readers will be glad to hear that a yes
sell has arrived at Quebec with twenty-five
more Of the passengers Of the Inflated Austria.
These are the persons brought off from the
wreck by the boats of the Norwegian vessel
Casarina. The addition Of their number to
the list Of rescued passengers already enamer-
ated makes the total number of persons saved
eighty nine. There are still hopes that we
shall have some further names to add to this
list. The escapes at sea Of shipwrecked per-
~soHsase often as miraculous as they are yari-
Gus, and it may be that others of whom we
have not heard have been picked up by pas
sing vessels The probabilities, we must own,
arsnot very encouraging; but whilst there is
uncertainty there is hope, and those bereaved
are Justified in clinging to it.
D~-ssssel sank at Montauk Point proves to
be the Haidee, Of New York, and not the Eliz-
abeth, as previously reported. The Haidee
sailed from this port last January, for Gibral
ter. From there she went to Cadiz, and
thence to the coast of Africa, where she took
in a cargo of $50 slaves, and then proceeded
to Cuba. She arrifed safely at Cardenas,
landed her slaves, and then went to Havana,
where the captain and owners left her. The
vessel then went to sea under the charge of the
mate, who scuttled and sunk her off Montauk
Point, the crew going ashore in the boats and
then dispensing in different directions. Three
of the men were arrested in New York a few
days ago, and were placed in confinement
Macomber, the mate was arrested near New
Bedford, and brought on to New York by a
deputy of the United States Marshal. The
prisoners say but little about the matter, and
it is difficult to obtain information from them.
All the facts, however, SO far as they have been
ELECTED, will be found in another column. The
Marshal intends to have the Haidee raised if
she is worth the expense. 1t is understood
that the sailors were Portuguese, and that
E~nearlfy4iru them have succeeded in getting
out of the country. 1t appears that the Hal
dee took on board 1873 negroes, of which 200
died on the passage.
