that this popular packet sunk at Palmyra Island
ten miles below this city, on her downward trip
for Memphis, on the night of the 18th inst. She
ran against snag which broke her hull, and
caused her 10 sink in few minutes, with about
or feet water in the cabin The sinking was SO
sudden and unexpected that several deck passen-
gers are supposed to have been lost. We UNDER
stand that the citizens of Palmyra assisted the pas
sengers In getting eff, by supplying them fiat
boat. &c. We did net get the particulars as TO
the loss sustained.
P. S. Since the above was put in type, we learn
that FIVE or six lives were lost principally deck
hands and deck passengers, amongst them the I'd
engineer. The boat is supposed to DO total loss
