SUPPOSED Loss oF Thy AUSTRALIAN PASSENGER
sHIP CLToSIi, WIN Ia Souls.
For several weeks the most painful anxiety has pre-.
vailed respecting the fate of the Australian passenger
ship Itonia Capt. Wm. =. Baker which l-a the
Thsine. for Melbourne with ls0 souls on board. in
the early part Of last November. Unhapp.ly, there
is too much reason to fear that the ship will never
again he heard of, and the daily witnessed
LLOYD by the frequent visits and anxious inquiries u
the relatives ard friends Of those on board most
distressing.
The Ultons was large Quebec built ship | .3il
iuns register, belonging to Messrs. Moore q Co. of
Liverpool and in the Of September, last year,
she was chartered to MessTs. Fry X Dawson, the
Wiite-H0rse line Of Australian packet ship-brokerS
III teichurch street, FOR voyage to Melbourne. Size
was comparatively vessel, having been built in
1851, and cla--ed for seven years.
She loaded in the East India Docks. On Nov. 3,
she was cleared by the London Emigration Officers
having on board l23 storage passengers, families,
aud six cabin passengers-her crew, including master
and officers, Numbering 81. She passed through the
Downs the 9th If November, and progressed on her
voyage. although somewhat tardily and on the 18th
OF March she spoken in lat. IL S, long ~ W., a
considerable distance TO the sothward Of the Cape.
Since then the east tidsss have been heard If the
ship any Of her numerous passengers. II was re-
ported that -he had been again spoken with OF the 81
Of May but II turns out to refer to the previous speak
ing. More than fyG months have transpired since she
was last seen, and several mails have arrived from
where intelligence might he expected of her, but not
the least particle Of information has come to hand.
Indeed at Lloyds she has been given up "a lost.
She has already been posted missing ship. and the
principal underwriters in the have paid the inst
rance effected with them on ship and freight. II has
been stated that she was heavily laden with railway
iron, but that turns out to be incorrect. From the
manifest find that she shipped between 800 and 600
iron railway chairs slowed in the bottom Of the hold
OF machinery II packages of steam engines, and
a large quantity Of spirits, amounting in the whole To
lG7l7 galon- Of brandy, 500 gallons of rum. 2VU
gallons Of gin and spirits OF wine and large shipment
of bottled beer. She had also quantity Of wooden
stuff. Whether the ship caught fire, foundered, or by
being far to the southward got among the lee, must
only be matter Of conjecture.

FIRE ISLAND, Sept. 10, 1853.
We had strong wind ard rain last night, during
which the billiard saloon belonging to tine Surf Hotel,
occupied by ID. s. s. Sammis blown down. No
lives were lost. Some mourn about the hard luck,
but my opinion il that stout frames better than
luck The weather remains thick, but as far as we
can zee no vessels are on the coast.
