Terrible Disaster at Sea.
From the New York Herald, Aug. 81.

fTom Lno NEW IOIh hoIdlus aug OIL.
One of the most disastrous and sud-
den calamities that has occurred on the
ocean for many years, involving the
loss of IL lives, occurred to the Cunard
steamship Java on her last massage to
this city from Liverpool. The steamer
in the dark hours of the night ran into
the Norwegian bark Annita, striking
her amidships like thunderbolt, and
the Inflated vessel went down into the
depths of the ocean, carrying with her
IL lives. These poor people had no
time for PRAYER or petition, but were
hurled into.eter71ity without moments
notice, and before any possible prepare
ton could have been made to save
themselves. Great excitement pre-
vailed among the passengers on the
Java at the time of the sad accident.
The steamer Java left Liverpool on
Saturday, the 10Th Of August, with a
full complement of passengers. Moth
ing of great moment occurred until the
night of the 23d inst, when all were
startled by the cry of "man over
board p The ship was stopped at once,
and with the utmost alacrity boat was
lowered, amid great danger, as the sea
at that time was running very Ugh.
There was a half an hour of terrible
and painful suspense, and then the boat
returned without having saved the poor
sailor. This sad accident cast a gloom
over the passengers. On the night of
the 5th of August, about l o'clock, the
saloon being full of passengers, the cry
of Hard a-port" was heard. The
Java's engines stopped, and then came
crash that shook the vessel from end
to end. Those who rushed out on deck
saw one half of a large vessel on one
side and the other half on the other
side, across the quarter. Boats were
got out at once, and, after searching
carefully about, they returned, having
saved one man, from whom it was
learned that the vessel run down was
the Norwegian bark Annita, from Ports
mouth to Quebec, with II hands on
board, II of whom went down with the
bark. 1t was for some hours a matter
of doubt as to whether the Java had
not been injured, but she escaped with
the loss of her topmast and some fifty
feet of canvas, which was carried away.

the prisoners were placed. The behavior

company detailed for the duty advanced,
and, dwelling their muskets, at the word
of command fired. Rossel fell at the first
discharge, he being instantly killed. The
others were not so fortunate; the bullets
