THE WRECK or THE HUNGARIAN.


= 4
A dispatch from Halifax Saturday. states
that the clearance of the lost steamship Hun
garian had been found, from which 1t appear
ed that she had 300 passengers, mainly, OF
course, in the steerage. The clearance OF the
ship IL assuredly the best authority, but dill.
fers very widely from other sources. Mitch
ellis Shipping Journal (London) OF the Ioth
says she had seventy passengers. The Liver
pool Post Of the 9th says she had thirty
five passengers, together with large cargo,
| while the London Chronicle OF the 9th says
she had "from sixty to seventy passengers.
The Montreal Herald Of the 23d inst. says

deep gloom over the entire city, 1or aitnough

boats, which would live in almost any sea.
may yet prove TO have been the means OF
saving some of the unfortunaies, when the
doomed vessel met her fate. When, however,
we consider that she went ashore during the
night. and that no trace of any of the boats has
yet been found, our hopes in This direction are,
we confess, slender.
