MONTREAL, Nov 7.-The following important
item of news is taken from the Liverpool Daily
Post of the 9th of October, a copy of which was
obtained by the steamer North American:
The public will learn with overwhelming grief
that the splendid vessel, the Royal Charter, WAS
totally lost yesterday in Muffa Red Bay, near BAN
gor. The melancholy intelligence which reached
late last night brief, but fear IS only too
true. Of upwards Of four hundred persons who
were on board only ten are said to have been
saved. There is some hope, however, that the
statement is exaggerated, but under the circum-
stances the loss of life, it is to be feared has been
immense.
The Royal Charter had about half million in
gold on board when the disaster took place. The
facts are not known, for the telegraph had ceased
to work, and so destructive had been the storm
along the coast yesterday, that the Chester Z
Birkenhead railway had been destroyed in two
places. o.

: three miles Westward Of Ruffin Island, in Angle
Sea, and six or seven miles to the northwest Of
Beatman's. 1t has shallow beach for several
i miles, with promontories. At the east end Of the
. bay the country around is wild there are but few
houses about.
HALF FARE.-The New Orleans, jackson and
Great Northern Railroad Company have made ar
rangements to carry persons destined for the Mis-
sissipp State Fair at half prcethat is, they will
be charged full rstclass fare to Jackson and have

FRE1GHrs ON CoTToN, TO NEW ORLEANs.-Ye ester
day the steamboats, at our wharf loading for the
South were demanding two dollars per bale on cot
ton shipped to New Orleans. This is a higher rate
than has been asked for several years, and itz
effects upon the Memphis market are very distress
ing. The amount of cotton which has accumulated
on the bluff and in sheds, awaiting rise in the
a river and more reasonable freights, is immense.
The money market, too, is influenced by this COM
parative stagnation in business and unless there be
speedy improvement in navigation, we may con-
fdently expect serious time of it shortly. Con-
sidering the risk which they run during the exist
of the present low stage Of water, steamboat
men are not asking too much. The only question
is, can Memphis compete successfully with other
markets and pay the rates demanded?
