ARRIVAL or TIE RESCUED PsssgsSERs.
Yesterday forenoon the ste Smship Yorktown arrived
81 this port from Norfolk having or board the'pssseu
gers Of tie Quaker City. From Information cleaned
by our reporter il appears that little hopes could be
entertained Of the Quaker City unless she had favora-
bic weather ss when they last saw her, she was roll
ing Tremendously, her guards touching the water. 1t
is supposed by them that the rsces Of wood passed
by the Potomac may have been portions of the upper
works of the Quaker City, which the crew may have
been directed to demosh wi h view to tightening
the ship to some extent aud rendering her less top
heavy. The passengers seemed anxious to pay some
tribute to Mr.. J. e. Hargous, to whose kind and gal
lart conduct many Of the ladies owed The facility With
which they were transferred TO the boats also to
Hsrgous, Brothers the agents of the Company, for
- ~, thau fpaa -
passengers on their arrival in Norfolk, by
paying their ho.el expenses, and bringing
them on to this city in the steamship Yorktown. as
also returning the passage money Immediately on
their arrival yesterday.
The conduct Of Cspt. Shuseldt ia highly eulogized
BY every passenger. 1t was entirely owing to his
GOODNESS and sefpossession that be gained the conf
dence of every person on board that all confusion
was obviated and the most order preserved until
every passenger DESTROYS of being transferred to the
bark Dunberton, had been safely conducted from YES
sci 10 vessel On the morning Of the accident, at
daylight when the passengers turned out to see how
mater- stood, they found every officer in the ship
duly stationed and armed with aod other weapons,
at the boats waitir the orders OF the captain They
express strong desre that should Capt Shuteidt Do
safe the merchants and shippers of this port will
give him some token Of their appreciation OF SO gal
lsnt ana worthy man.
IL tie event Of his loss they desire that some me-
mento Of bis meItonous conduct be presented 10 his
family. The passengers are also very gra'efui Tor
the courteous manner in which DIR. Finnel the sur
eeon of the ship, who was sent to Newly In charge
OF them, discharged his duty.
None of the passengers procured their baggage be-
yond mere change of clothing. Many of them have
taken passage Oh board the isabel for Havana via
Charleston, which salls Saturday. Some of them
will remain over, to if :hey can obtain any dings
Of the Quaker City so that they may possess them
selves, if possible, of their baggage.
