DISASTERS AT SEA.

The steamship Devon, which arrived from Bristol
on Wednesday night, was DELAYED on her voyage
by bad weather. At 2 Il. III. on November 20,
heavy southerly gale sudde3ly changed to north
east hurricane, with a heavy cross sea, i'll which
the vessel hove-to nine hours. On Sunday
last partly dismasted vessel was sighted
and il WAS believed there were people
on board. The course of the steamer was
changed in order to rescue the crew, and upon
boarding the wreck II was found to be abandoned,
with the bowsprit, foremost aud maln-topmast gone.
and with q cargo consisting of empty barrels only.
The vessel was the brig Cvgne, of ~. Servan. and
being in the track of passing vessels the carpenter
of the Devon bored several large holes in her, ami
she soon sank below the surface.
The crew OF the Cygne were taken of by the
steamship lyran on Saturday last and landed at
Boston on Monday.
A dispatch has been received by the mate of the
bark Marie, which arrived at this port few days
ago, and whose Captain OLSEN and 1--we seamen
boarded the Nova Scotian ship Royal Charter,
abandoned and disabled in md-oceau, with IA cargo
of wheat valued at 100000, stating that the
ROYAL Charter had arrived safely IN Norwegian
port.

Maior.GeneraI John A. Dix.

After an illness of several months General John A. Dix died in New York, aged eighty one years. General Dix was born at Boscowen, N. H., in 1798, graduated at the Exeter acad- emy and took part in the war of 1872 as 0 cadet. In 1926 he retired from the army, mar ried and settled in Cooperstown, N. Y., where he began to practice law. In 1850 he was ap- pointed Adutant-General of the State, and in 1883 was elected Secretary of State. In IS4l he was elected to the Assembly, and the next year took @ trip to Europe. In l844 Silas Wright was elected Governor, and the seat which he vacated as United States Senator was filled by General Dix, who then belonged to what was known as the Barnburner wing of the Democratie party. During Buchanan's administration Dix was appointed postmaster of New York, and on the eve of the civil war he became Secretary of the Treasury. It was at this period that he is said to have issued the otten-quoted order to @ treasury agent at New Orleans: |" If any man attempts to haul down the American flag shoot him on the spot" When Lincoln became President Dix was suc- ceeded by Chase, and soon after was appointed a major general ill the Federal army. During the draft riots in New York city he commanded the Department of the East. General Dix became one of Andrew Johnson's supporters, and by him was appointed Naval Officer of New I ork in 1866 and soon after received the higher appointment of Ambassador to France. Resigning the French mission in 1868 he re- turned to New York and avowed himself in favor of Grants administration. In 1872 Gen. era1 Dix on the Republican ticket for Gov ernor of New York, and defeated Francis Herman by about 50, 900 majority, but was de- feated in turn in 1874 by Samuel J. Tilden by about the same majority he had received over Senator Herman. Since then he has not held any public position, but is understood to have been actively engaged in managing the cor poration of Trinity Church, in New York, oi which his son, Rev. Morgan Dix, is rector.
