The English press, therefore, which at

out of the ordinary way TO the plots of the
dynamiterS, jumps mt once 10 the conclu-
sion that there must have been dynamiterS
on board the Florida, and that she was de.
stroyed by nm accidental explosion. The

yoyaged pleasantly until about II 30 on the
night of the 18th, when, in smooth water,
with bright starlight overhead but no moon,
about 165 miles off the Irish coast, She
came in collision with the bark Pomona, of
Chatham, n. Is. Both ships went down al-
most instantly, and out of the steamers 1871
passengers and crew only "A managed to
escape in the boats, while of the Is on
board the bark only the Captain and two
seamen were saved The survivors, after
being 81 hours in the boats without food or
water, were rescued by the Norwegian bark
Theresa. The latter being overcrowded, on
the 22d "A of the rescued were transferred
To the ship louisa, where they remained
until the 9th of May, when they were trans
ferred to the Titania, which arrived al Que
bee on Wednesday as above. The Theresa,
with the balance of the rescued, is also on
her way to Quebec, and is expected 10 ar
rive within the week, Among all the per
sons rescued, there were but one cabin and
ten Storage passengers. Among the lost

Thomas, Andrew Ferris, Miss Amy Tay-
or, Ida Taylor and Thomas Taylor and
