The Wreck Of the Hungaria.s-Enrllier
Particulars.
A despatch from Halifax on Saturday states
that the clearance of the lost steamship Hun
garian had been found, from which it appear
cd that she had $50 passengers, mainly, of
course, in the stecrage. The clearance of the
ship is assurcdv the best authority, hnt differs
very widely from other sources. Mitchcll's Ship
pi"y Journol Uondon) of the 10th says she
had seventy passengers. The Liverpool Post
of the 9th says she had "tirty-tvc passengers,
together with large cargo" while the Lon
don Chronicle of the 9th says she had 'trom
sixty to seventy passengers" The MontScal
Herald OF the 23d instant says:
This most melancholy disaster has thrown a
deep gloom over the entire city, for although
there can be no absolute. certainly on. the sub
ect, it is too much to be feared that among
her il-ftcd passengers there were several of
our citizens, whose families and friends are over
whclmed with anxiety for their fate. Nothing
had been seen of the ships lifc-Loats, Of which
We learn from Mcssrs. Edmonstonc, Allen IL
Co., there were six very superior ones OIL board,
and excepting few spars and.a portion OF the
mail bags, nothing had been washed ashore
from the wreck. Among the passengers it is,
we understand, but too probable, were the fol-
lowing: Mr. Bermal, of the firm Of Robertson
e. Co., and his Young bride, sister of Mr..
Andrew Robertson; Mr.. Baillic, of the firm
of James BaiicrS Co.; Mr.. Neil Morrison,
of .thc firm of Morrison 4; Emrcy Mr..
Roy, of the firm of Roy e. DutoN. There
were some reasons for fearing that Mr.. Grant,
the Secretary of the of the Grand Trunk Com
pany, would be among tA4 psalssensel: ::hnt VIC

altogether n{f;,vor of his not having been able
to leave in the Hungarian Mr.. Blackwell, too,
the Managing Director of the Company, it was
at first rumored, had intended sailing in her,
but We learn this was altogether mistake, as
Mr.. Blackwell had engagements in London
which would render his leaving at so carly
date all but impossible. No bodies, it will be
observed, had been washed ashore, and there
are still some grounds for hoping that all may
not have been lost; and that the lite-boats,
which would live in almost any sea, may vet
prove to have Lccn the means of saving some
of the unfortunatcs. Whcp, however, We con-
sidcr 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.
