dsiing Unstable. She supposed 10 have been burning
forty eight hours The Arabian sighted brig four miles

u the distance.
HAlro, Sept 25-l p. n.
The bark Arabian reports that the seen on Ere
was iron screw steamer, Of apparently 200 tons.
gE crowned eagle head observed.
We we're favored with one of the above des-
patches by DR.. A. Schultz, who received it from
Nessrs. Kunhard, agents Of the Hamburg Steam
Navigation Company at Halifax. The Austria hay
ing such figure head, there is little reason for
doubting that she is the unfortunate vessel.
Other dispatches to private parties in this city
corroborate the above. The description given
makes it almost certain that the burning vessel was
either the Austria or the Alps, while the statement
as TO the figure head would seem to show that the
former is the i'll fated steamer-that of the Alps
being merely scroll head, while the Austria's was
an Austrian eagle.
The Austria Is known TO have left Hamburg on
the lst and Southampton on the ith instant for
New York. We believe she has . rcd bottom,
though her engines did not work through her
decks. Her list of cabin passengers from Hamburg
h rs follows; it is not known whether she took any
on board a. Southampton or mott

TIE Austria, besides these, probably had large
number Of steerage passengers.
There is one probability in favor Of the safety Of
che crew and passengers, which Is strong one.
The burning steamer had no person on board when
seen by two vessels and she was on the track OF
numerous lines running between this and Europe,
she reasonable supposition Is that they we're all
taken OF by some eastern bound steamship. The
brig seen by the Arabian four miles distant from the
burning vessel may have the passengers or many
Of them on board. II is 70 be hoped that a few
Asys viii solve all these painful doubts.
