The Loss, of the Oneida.

News comes hy telegraph, of the suspension of Capiain Eyre, the commander of the British steamer Bombay which ran down and sunk the Oneida. Suspension may mean hanging and
 if justice were done would so in the present instance. To suspend Capt. Eyre, and not 10 hang him, is an outrage as well as q paradox Morally, he is guilty of the murder of one hun dred and t" "enty men, for there appears to be no question that if 5he stopped his ship he could have saved every soul of them without the slightest difficulty. The weather was calm and clear, and the lightest boat could have lived Bit this mau cooly went on his way, and left the ship he had cut in two, to sink with the crew. The only lydisasterapproaching this in character, that we remember, wes the sinking of the En- glish ship Charles Bartlett, by the American steamer Europa, June l849 The event eccur- red however in a dense fog The Europa struck the ship between the fore and mainmast, and literally cut her in two she herself receiv. ing no damage. The steamer at once stop ped and lowered her boats, but the ship sank almost pstantaneously, and out of hundred and seventy persons, lhirty-two alone were saved That, however, was an unavoidable accident happening on high seas, in heavy fog, and when the ship would be displaying no no lights The captain moreover stopped his vessel at once, unlike the captain of the Bom- bay, and saved all that could be saved Be- yond the similarity in tho catastrophe itscA, there is. therefore, no parallel between these ca5es--Record.
