FOUR HUNDRD LIVES LOST.

MONTREAL, Monday, Nov. 7. 1859.
The following Is taken from The Liverpool Daily
Post Of the 9th October
"The public will learn this morning with over
%whelming grief, that the SPLENDID vessel, the Roy
al Charter, was totally lost yesterday. in Muffa
Red Bay, near Bangor. The melancholy intel.
ligenoe, which reached US late last night, was
brief, but we fear ii is cnly too true, that of up.
ward Of 400 persons who were on board, only ten
are said to have been saved. There is some hope,
however, that this i, an eSaggeratior, but under
any circumstances the loss Of life, il is to he fear-
ed, has boen immense. The Royal Charter had
about half a million Of gold on board, when the
disaster took placs. The particulars are no.
known, as the telegraph had ceased TO work, and
SO destructive had been the storm along the coast
Yesterday, that the Chester and Birkenhead Rail-
way had been destroyed in two places. AT Pen
manawe, twenty Of tho dead had been washed
ashore. The Bay in which the catastrophe occur
red is two or three miles to the westward Of Puff

the northwest Of Beaumaris. 1t has a shallow.
sandy beach for several miles. with promontories
at each end of the bay. The country around is wild
and few houses are about.

JonH BRows's WIfE.-Tho Worcester Transcript
says-'Mrs.Brown passed through this city on the
steamboat train, en- route for Charlestown. She is a
large and noble-looking woman, and worthy OF
being John Browns wife. She says that she has
always prayed to God that her husband might fall
in battle rather than by the hands Of shareholders;
but tina, nowsho does not regret his capture, for the
sake of the noble words he has been permitted to
utter. She says that she is the mother Of thirteen
children, of whom but four survive; but that she
would willingly see the ruin Of all her household,

been so lately assassinated, and whose husband

Some GO or 70 clergymen Of the Church OF
England recently met in Lordcn, for the purpose
of organizing a new society, to be called the Free

seems to indicate o move in the right direction.
Three vendors of patent medicine have been
ordered to leave Charlestown. The people there
look with suspicion upon all strangers, and in this
case their alarm was we'll founded, for the three

ARREST OF A HARPER'S FERRY CoNsPI-
RAToR IN MEMPllIS-EXClTEMENT IN
TIE CITY,

On Tuesday morning last, our citizens were
thrown into 10 ineonsidersble state VI excitement,
by the announcement that one of the %IIarper's
Ferry ccnspirators had been arrested in this city
on the night previous. 1t seems from all the facts
we have been able to gather, that DR.. W. r. Pal
mer, tho name Of the person arrested. came to
this city about the month Of July last. but from.
what State or place, we have been unable to learn.
During the time, however, he contracted a mstfi-
moniai alliance With a very respectable lady
residing in this county. During the past few
weeks he has Leen boarding at the Redford
House, in this city, and to all appearance, was u
man Of rcspOciabilitJ and means. 1t happened,
however, in that publication of the miscellaneous
c%ontentS Of "0ld BrOwn's' carpet-bag, the name
Of W. r. Palmer occurred among the c%onspira-
tors against the integrity Of the government 0: the
State Of Virginia.
His residence was stated to be at Big Creek, in
this county. Gov. Wise, upon this hint, commu
nicated with Gov. Harris, and tho matter was
placed in the hands Of Mr.. @. Birch, a gentleman
of prominence in this State, who, ut q late hour
on Monday night last, proceeded to the Redford
House a2d arrested Palmer wbilo that person vas
comfortably r%Oposing in the arms of profound
siumber. lie was committed to prison to await
the movements ofaGov. Wise,' who will lose no
time in having him transferred to the jurisdiction
Of Judge Parker's court. These are the facts, so
far as our researches have brought US in contac.
with them. Yesterday, the circumstanco Of a
%lIar7er's Ferry conspirator having been arrested
in this city very naturally produced considerable
excitement Memphis Reporter, 9,b.

A Lawrence (Kansas) correspondent of the
New York Times, says that recently a slave resid-
ing near Independence, Missouri, who was the
head of a slave family of five, learned that his
master intended selling him for transportation to
a more southern latitude, and he sent word to
some friends in Kansas that he would give $500 il
be could be safely transported to q place where
his freedom could be secured. A small compan =
from Central Kansas started on the precarious
mission, and on arriving at the mansion of the
slave-owner, found a Southern planter present,
and about completing the purchase of the negro
family for $500. The correspondent of the
Times says:
"The planter had the gold upon his person, and
proceeded to count on. the So, 500, when the party
seized him, bound him fast to the chair, and took
such other steps as would secure their own safety
from exposure or pursuit. The planter had
brought with him several extra mules to transport

groes also, and soon they were IN under rapid

One very singular fact in the transaction is, that
the So, 500 was not disturbed in the least. That
will all 90 to prove that not robbery, but emauci-
patton, was their mission. 1t was a daring feat
that but few could accomplish. Is was more so
at this particular time, when every stranger in
Western Missouri is watched with q suspicious
eye, and every neighbor is on the alert to prevent
just what has been accom- plished."
