THE ..TIKnMA,s" VOYAGE.

Sixty-three Days from Liverpool
Driven Back by StOrms-Her Crew
Witness the Wreck of the British ship
Juno"
The bark TikOma, Capt. Andrews, from
Liverpool, arrived at Tybee Yesterday
after very rough passage. The TikOma
has been an old trader at this port, and Of
the many trips which she has made, the
present passage, with but one exception,
was about the toughest she has ever eX-
perienced. The TikOma left Liverpool on
the 10th of January, and encoun.
tered a series Of gales about Il
degrees west longitude, and was
driven back on the Liverpool bar.
losing her anchors and some sails and
very nearly going ashore. The British
ship Juno went ashore on the Goth OF
January within half mile Of the TikOma,
near the Goodwin Sands, and all hands
were lost, the report of the disaster ap-
pearing in the NEWS at the time. Capt.
Andrews witnessed the wreck from the
deck of the TikOma, and was afterwards
a witness in the official inquiry at Liver
pool relative to her loss. 1t appears
the Juno was i'll the same fix as the
TikOma, having been blown back, but
was driven ashore, where she went to
pieces.
After having been supplied with an
chOTs and sails the TikOma set sail for
Savannah on the 9th of February, from
which time to the 22d she again encOun-
tered a series of severe gales. From then
she had fine weather.

a board of ladies has been organized,
with the consent of the physicians in
authority at the Colored Infrmary, to
visit there and procure comforts and
necessaries for the inmates. The funds
allowed by the county and the city are
administered as economically as possible,
and yet they are inadequate to provide
what is requisite. There is great need of
garments for the sick, of towels, sheets,
tubs and such like requirements of a hos
pital. \ small sum of money is also
needed. The ladies who are interesting
themselves for these poorest of
of the poor will not make any personal
appeals for help. But they desire to en-
list the sympathies of the whole cOmmu-
nifty, and they offer to receive and apply
to use anything which may
be sent to them in small
sums from 10 cents to a dollar. These
gifts may be made anonymously, or with
names to be acknowledged, but they
earnestly ask this small contribution
from every home Of comfort. They also
ask for old garments, specially for such
under clothing as is suitable for the sick,
no matter how much worn. 1t will
always serve a purpose there.

In the South there is not the interest
taken that characterizes the game in the

"The Oneen,s Lace Handkerohief

The sale of seats for the opera '.Queen's
Lace Handkerchief began yesterday
morning and indicates a successful en-
gagement. The plot Of the opera is inter-
esting. Cervantes is represented as
young man of handsome exterior, for
whom the Queen of Portugal cherishes
secret temporary attachment, but who is
faithful to one of the Queens maids of
honor. The King persOnated by a young
lady, is represented to be a gOurmand who
loves the pleasures of the table more than
those Of Hymeu, who is by no means blind
to the charms of the maid of honor whom
Cervantes loves. Through the good offices
of Cervantes and his prospective bride,
the King and Queen are brought together,
when the premier, a blOOdthirsty Portu-
guese, who, with his cabinet, is intensely
jealous of CeTvantes and is his sworn enc
my-discOyers, by accident, the Queens
lace handkerchief, on which she has in
scribed confession Of love for Ceryantes,
and message OF encOurageme Mt intended
for him. He shows it to the King, who re-
nOunces the Queen. In the third act the
Queen is rescued from brigands by Ger
vantes, and is finally reconciled to the
King. CerVantes triumphs over all his
political enemies, and the curtain falls on
a general rejoicing
