Friday, 30th ultimo, returned yesterday
afternoon in badly disabled condition,

The boats and everything movable on
deck were torn from their fastenings.
The steamer was thrown on her beam
ends, and the passengers We're terrorized
into state bordering on frenzy. When
the sea calmed somewhat it was found
that the forward steering geer was so bad
ly injured as to make it useless as means
for further handling the ship. Many of
the saloon passengers received severe
bruises by being knocked about and
struck with pieces of furniture and one
OF the seamen was washed overheard and
drowned.
LIVERPOOL, April S.-The steamer Ger
manic has arrived here. A number of the
passengers are suffering from injuries re-
ceived in the butfeting, which disabled the
