Loss OF THE STEAMSHIP ARGo.-Eary on the
morning of the 2Sth ult the steamship Argo went
ashore eight miles east of Trepassey Bay. in dense
fog. The New York Times, of the 3Oth, says:
The Argo left New York on Thursday noon, with
about 200 passengers and small freight. She is
about 2500 tons register, of iron, with eleven COM
partments. She is superior ship. costing at the
time Of her construction E75 900 sterling. She was
employed in the transport service during the war in
the Crimea and in India. She was lately purchased
by the Galway Company, and insured at Lloyds for
f45 900. The Company hope that with the prompt
assistance she has received from ST. Johns, n F. this
fine ship will be saved. Her position, however, is one
of the most exposed and dangerous on the whole
coast. The Company announce that they will for
ward the passengers from st. Johns to Europe imme
dately.
From our Idegraphic Agent.-Information has
been received here that the steamship Argo, which
left this port on the 23d inst. for Galway via ST.
Johns, N. F., has been wrecked. We have not
heard the location of the calamity, but understand il
to be somewhere on the Newfoundland coast, probab
ly near Cape Race. The ship went ashore, and al
last accounts was leaking very badly, and was likely
to prove total loss. The passengers and crew and
their baggage were landed safely. Two steam-tugs
have been sent to the assistance of the Argo Par
| ticulars will doubtless soon come to hand.
Latest.-Since the above was written, we learn
that the Argo was lost in Trepassey Bay.

French of demanding "pretty women to be deliy-
cred up by the Pedmontese to the rapacity OF their
soldiers. The Austrian reply is, that they wanted at
Vereeli Beladona for the sick soldiers, and they
demanded it OF the Syndic. He said he had not any

well known, are among the most upright and worthy
of the Christian sects. Their mode of public wor-

exhortaton or preaching by some one who feels i'm

Thomas Coles, more Familiarity known, from his

the admiration, not ouly of the members but of many
others who attracted to the service by the elo
