NEW YORK, February 10th.-Sorne of the

day, and some are undoubtedly lost. The two

Batavia, of the Cunard line, and the Bristol
City. The Batavia had large passenger list.
mostly New Workers. The company's agents
are unwilling to believe that she has gone
down. It was thought the steamer Bothnia
would have some news, but that vessel re-
ports that she did not see sail since leaving
Queenstown until eff Fire Island. The names
of the ships company are in the London
office and with the purser. While the Gu
nard agents refuse to identify the vessel
sighted within couple of hundred miles of
Queenstown, MessTs. Arkell of Pearl street
believe they see in the description of the yes.

days. and even allowing for the unusual heavy
weather of the last two months, thirty DAYS

and was only supplied with coal for a short
trip. and with either broken machinery or
running out of coal, her passage would neces-
sarily be long one. Arkell refuses to be-
lieve that the vessel is lost, but admits that
he is extremely anxious. Arkell adds: elf
we should not hear from her in another fort
night ! shall conclude that she has foundered.
If the steamer is still ahoat she will be in no
trouble. She has plenty of spare material
and stores, and if the latter should run short
she is laden forward with cheese, hams, bacon,
butter and -four, SO it would only be necessary
for the crew to open the hatchways to secure
all they might need. The crew consists of
twenty-seven officers and men, mostly Eng
Ish. and the vessel is fully insured, while
