HALIFAX, n. s.. Sept. 2G.-The
steamer Delta arrived from Bclmu-
da this morning. Capt. Carol, Of
the brigantine Hound, who came
as passenger, reports that his yes
sci was wrecked in the hurricane Of
August 10Th in latitude "a degrees
36 minutes north, longitude SO de-
grees minutes west. The Hound
left Halifax on the 18th OF August
for Porto Rico with q general car
go and lumber. Had variable
winds until the 10Th, when a huri-
cane from the north northeast
struck her and threw her ON her
beam ends.
The masts were then cut away and
the vessolrighted, waterlogged. The
sea continued to break over her
and swept the decks of everything
The crew secured themselves as
they best could between the house
and rail, and remained there for
about thirty hours, the sea contin.
ually rolling over them and at
times washing them loose. They
became much exhausted by endeav-
ors to save themselves. When the
gale moderated they took refuge
on the top Of the house and remain
eel there seventeen days, until res
cued by the brigantine Harp.
During that time they sustained
life by eating some pcices Of salt
pork, which they managed TO pro-
cure from the cabin, and % shark
which they caught with a bowline.
They also got one drink of water
from the only shower they had
Their sufferings from thirst were
intense and maddening. The stew.
ard, John Livingston, was washed
overheard and drowned. Michael
Mcmahon died from exposure and
suffering. The mate Il. G.. Connolly,
died on board of the Harp three
days after being rescued.

Financial.

The excitement is rather high il
financial circles. In New York
there has been many suspensions
among the banking houses, and
prospects of more. Failures are al
so reported at many Of the princip-
al cities in the Union, as also in
England, and there seems to be
considerable speculation in regard
to the final results. The suspen-
sions has had a tendancy to bring
stocks down to q low figure in or
der to realize cash.
Up to Saturday the situation
looked little more cheerful, but ii (
is believed that great financial
crisis is at hand, and until that is
over business everywhere will be
'ather quiet.

It viii be seen that the APPEAL OF to-
day is enlarged to mammoth proper
;ions. It's now forty-column paper,
a. large as the largest papers Of the Tn
ion. At this size We propose 10 publish
il, counting, "a we hope we may, upon
a continuance OF the patronage which
hss forced rs from even the large-sized
paper we published during the summer
at loss. We mean TO be equal TO all
The demands of our friends, and not
To be content short Of the most
complete success. Memphis is to be,
one OF these days, great city, aud the
press must contribute its quota Of work
in the attainment Of so grand a con-
Summation. Much as it has done be-
fare. "nore remains behind" If the
merchants, manufacturers and mechsn-
i,s Of Memphis viii only support US, we
will continue to progress and improve,
making the APPEAL not merely the
largest and beNt paper in the south, but
one Of the best im the couBtry.
