Women aud Five Children Lost.

HNiPAx, July 1.-THE steamer State
Of Virginia, from New York to Glasgow,
went ashore at Sable Island at 7:46 =. "
Saturday. Three women and five children
were lost In the surf while landing. The
vessel had seventy.four passengers and one
hundred and four head Of cattle, and q
general cargo. Sixty cattle were saved.
The Purser and boats crew OF the
steamer vi ginia landed at Sherlock.
They left Sable Island Sunday when all
the passengers saved were well. The
weather had been fine since leaving New
York till they got into the fog in which
the vessel went ashore Saturday night.
Assistance will be sent from here to the
passengers on the Island.
The vessel is likely to be q total wreck.
-Four women and five children were lost.
The names OF the lost are: Miss w. G.
Martin, a boy named R. S. Wilson, Mrs.
Peden and two children, q boy named
John Wedestrand, Mrs. NJ. Glore, Miss
Cornan and Mrs. Walker. The ship had
II feet OF water In the hold when the boat
boat left the Island. The Purser com.
planned Of the inhospitality OF the people
on the road from where they landed I'LL
they reached New Glasgow.
The Purser states that after the steamer
struck guns were fred, which brought
the Governor of the Island, Mcdonald, to
our assistance in a surf boat. The boat
took ashore eleven women, four men, the
purser, four officers and the doctor, all OF
whom were safely landed, though the
surf was very heavy. Two boats left the
ship with eighteen persons. The second
boat when fifty feet from shore capsized,
and all the occupants were thrown into
the water. Some OF those struggling in
the water succeeded in clinging TO
the bottom OF the boat, which
was presently righted and washed
ashore. Those clinging to her were bad.
ly bruised, but were thankful TO have es.
capped with their lives. The other boat
went around to the other island the next
day, and all were safely landed. On
Monday night, the Sd inst, an officer with
thepurser and nine men startedin an open
boat for the main land. The night was
rainy, foggy and most uncomfortable.
Tuesday night they made the main land,
but the sea was running too high to land.
In the morning they succeeded in landing
safely at Fort Beckerton and then drove
to New Glasgow, whence they came by
II ain to Halifax.

ra, .,a,tlipp news Of The renewed out,

Tuu startling news OF the renewed out
break Of the yellow fever in Memphis
cor,ained in our dispatches this morning,
will attract the sympathy Of the entire
North for that doomed and unfortunate
ci,y, Our special inumates that the scenes
Of last year are to be repeated; and that
di.,ress ruin and mourning will follow in
,bs wake Of the dread disease Is certain,
I, seems that the physicians Of the city
we're over sanguine as to the hold the fever
bal taken, or else they kept the facts Of
the true situation Of affairs from the pub
lie mainly, we suppose, for the object OF
preventing panic and to give them timeto
organize to fight the plague. II would be
hard to realize the CONSERVATION that pre-.
vail, in Memphis at the present time.
The recollections Of last year stare the
people in the face, and with the memory
Of ,ha. season Of death, not even the ties
Of friendship or family will deter them
from fleeing from the breath Of the deadly
endemic, which form the present out
break will in all likelihood again assume.
The situation Of the whole South might
be raid to be endangered by the fatal
turn Of affairs at Memphis, especially
those PLACES visited last year by theplague.
The sanitary precautions taken seem to
have no effect in eradicating the disease or
preventing its return, as Memphis before
tbe present recurrence Of the fever, was re.
p,rted to have been in excellent condi-
lion more care than usual being taken in
cleansing the city and purifying places
likely to breed disease or contain germs of
the fever In view Of this experience 1t
seems that the conditions of the appear.
ance Of the fever do not rely altogether on
the presence OF filth, but that its home is
in the Mississippi Valley, where it thriyes
and feeds, and spreads dismay and death.
With the revival Of the fever excite.
ment at Memphis, the cities that raised
quarantine few days ago will waste no
time to restore it, which will place the un:
happy Memphians in a position deeply to
be commiserated. 1t is when the South isin
such straits that the sectional feeling and
political bias in the North gives way to the
cry Of the plague stricken people, and the
common feeling of sympathy for humanity
in distress prompts noble deeds and ready
responses to the Macedonian cry.
Later dispatches report the arrival at
Philadelphia, of the brig Shasta from Port
au.Paux, San Domingo, with seven out Of
the nine men on board down with the
yellow fever, four deaths having occurred,
the Captain among the number. s.ygl

The conduct OF the British Admiral Is
severely criticized. This officer left Hong
