Many of the ladies had a great deal of money that they did hot give to the ptirser of the steamer; two of these went into their state-rooms and took out begs of gold— $20 pieces, S11.- 000 in all—and threw them down in the cabin, so that any per- son that wanted money could take what they pleased. ‘The two lidies who had just retumed from Califormay, said, weeping, ** That that money was o/! they had made there, and they were returning home to enjoy u."’ None of the ladies could take more than two S20 gold pieces with them.

He said, after | got in the boat, that he had secured my safety and he could easily look out for himself.

One of the boats had been dashed in, and ancther had been lost; three or four were let down to take us to the Marine. We were let down into the boats by a kind of rope-chair; a noose was passed round our feet and dress: there was nothing to support our backs, but we seized a rope which came down in front with both our hands. The boat could only approach the steamer between the waves, so we had to remain suspended some time while the waves passed. ‘These waves would also drive us under the side of the steamer ; the cook was hurt con- siderably that way ; she died on the home passage, but I guess *t was from fear, not bruises. We were placed in the bottom of the boats and rowed to the Marine, the spray dashing over us all the time ; they were excellent boats and excellent oars- men, or we would never have reached the brig. ‘Thirty women, twenty-six children and a number of men, were thus conveyed on board the Marine. The last person who got on board from the Central America was a fireman; he said, “‘the steamship was gone down and every son! on board of her.” This state- ment was false, but m terrified os awfully; we shrieked and holloaed at the loss of our husbands, most of whom, alas! we will see no more. Among that number is my husband.

The captain of the Marine was very kind to us, He had no nccommodations except fur her seven hands and captain. We could not a!l get into the cabin, but we stowed ourselves away us wellas we could. The sailors and officers brought us their dry clothes, shirts, pants, socks, &c. Captain Birch told us he would try to get into Norfolk, on Tuesday, Sept. 14. There were but two barrels of water on board, but plenty of molasses, so we had to drink molasses for water. Our provisions were scarce, but the captain did al! fur us that lay m his power, and fre merits all praise and thanks; he consulted our wants, and supplied them as far as possible. We sailed along, looking for passengers at first; then tried to make Norfolk ; but as far as we went in the daytime we were driven back by night. A vesse! from Philadelphia for New Orleaus, called the Ufrazer, sup- plied us with two barrels of sea biscuit, two barrels of potatoes,

least piteous was the sight of the infants. Some of them were perfectly naked, merely wrapped around by a coarse blanket taken from @ berth. Others were merely girt about the lions with linen, while others wore a fuller dress. Many of the mothers seemed quite unwell. Some were taking gruel, others were giving it to their babes. The deepest sadness pervaded all. A few could only speak with tears ; others had power to check the outward semblance of their inward grief. Some who had faced death in the hour of their peril with cheeks unblanch- ed, could not speak of the catastrophe and the loss of a loved one without tears. In looking at the condition of those saved from the untortnnate ship one could more fully realize the greatness of the calamity.

Nanasre Sanur, tus Briooprmmsry Revoivrronist.—It may not be uninteresting to some of our readers to know that Nanajee Sahib, the Rajah of Bisoor, has, beside some

money in the Bank of Bengal, a good many lakhs of rupees

invested in Company’s paper. This atrocious traitor is the adopted son of the late Peishaw, Rajee Rao, who, from the time of his deposition until his death, lived at Bithoor, in the neighborhood of Cawnpore, upon the pension allowed him by the British Government. On the death of the ex-Peishaw, Nanajee strove hard, but without success, to obtain from the Indian government a continuance to himself of the pension allowed to Bajee Rao. Failing in this, he despatched an agent to agitate his claims in England, ond transmitted to Calcutta to meet the expenses of such a mission, a single piece of company’s paper of the value of five lakhs of rupees. The mission to England, we need hardly remind our readers, was as unsuccessful as the attempt made to influence the local government. The Indian government may in some measure thank itself for having allowed this man to acquire the local influence he possesses, It is wel] known that for years

back since the death of the Rajee Rao, Nanajee has kept the

Begums of the Rajeé, the rightful heirs to the property of the deceased chief, in close confinement in the Zenanah, so that none likely to take steps relative to rescuing them from con- finement, or restoring them to their property could obtain access to where they were. It cannot be said that Nanajee He staked his all, which is not

a little, upon the die. His game might have been played so

At jast we raised $300, and the steam tug, by the earnest inerces- sion of the captain of the Marine, took us into Norfolk. The name of the captarn of the steam tng could not be learned; he would not tell it. He merits and should be branded with public scorn.

Srarement or Mr. Orrver P. Manitvur.—The storm com- menced iomedistely after the steamer Jeft Havana, and continued with gréat violence, increasing until Friday. On Friday afternoon all hands were called upto bale, The vessel continued to ship water, and all hands worked with buckets, barrels, &c., al) Friday night, and till about 2 o’clock, on Saturday, when the brig Marine hove in sight, All the ladies and children were put on board the Marine about 6 o'clock, p. m., and the Chief Engineer left with them. In launching the bouts, two of the five of them were stove, and the other three were despatched with the women and children about an hour before sunset. The Marine was laying nearly a mile off, and by the time the three boats reached her it became evident that the ship must go down befure they could get back. “All hands then seized pieces of spars, chairs, and life preservess, while others rushed below to secure their treasure. ‘The confusion now became very great, though all acted with coolness, each endeavoring to make the last effort for his own safety. Now the vessel gave three lurches, some of the passengers jumping off at each lurch. Those who jumped off at the first and second lurches, swam off tosome distance, but the great mass remained on deck until the vesse] went down, which was a moment or two afterwards.

{ had provided myse!f with a life preserver and a piece of a spar, and determined to go down with the vessel, withthe great mass of the passengers, a!) of whom stood about bracing them- selves up and securing those articles most available to buoy them up. The vessel finally went down stern foremost. 1 was standing near the smoke stack at the time, and we were al] dragged under the water with the sinking ship.

The general supposition is that we were all drawn under the surface at least twenty feet, and when we rose we were nearly stifled. The rapidity with which J was drawn down tore the spar from my hands and the |ife preserver from my body, and when | reached the surface my clothing was almost all stripped off me. 1, however, met a friend who had two life preservers, who gave me one, and we also seized on pieces of the wreck which helped to sustain us.

About four hundred of the passengers were struggling about, most of them having lost their life preservers, and others seizing on pieces of the wreck which came up with us.

The Captain had cut away the upper works of the vessel, so that when the huli sunk they would float off; but they were dragged down and came up in fragments. Many persons were killed, stunned and drowned, by being struck with pieces of the

wreck, whilst the pieces were to others the ultimate means of |

safety. An occasional flash of lightning showed to each other a number of struggling forms. Kach strove to encourage his friend with bopes which he scarce felt himself. At first we were all together in a mass, but soon the waves separated us, atid at each successive flash of lightning we discovered that we were being scattered over a wide area, and soon found ourselves apparently alone on the boundless ocean.

The rest of this account does not differ from that already re- ceived. He concludes by saying that about ten o’clock he was picked up by the bark Kilen, and had the satisfaction of finding others on board of her.

{t is said that the bark Marine was ina disabled condition. Her jibboom was carried away, one of her masts sprung, and her tuller out of order.

The Cork Constitution contaivs, the following brief summary of the late achievements of General Havelock and the sma!ler force under his command :

General Havelock’s force for the re-oceupation of Cawn- pore had in eight days marched 126 miles, fought four actions with Nena Sabib’s army, against overwhelming odds, in poiut of numbers, and had taken 24 guns of light calibre, and that, too, in the month of July in India. On the morning of July 17 the force marched into Cawnpore. The soul- harrowing spectacle which there presented itself to them beggars deseription.. A wholesale massacre had been perpetra- ted by the fiend, Nena Sahib. Eight officers and 90 men of her majesty’s 84th regiment, 70 ladies, and 121 children of her majestyss 32nd foot, and the whole European and Christian population of the place, including civilians, merchants, pensioners, and their families, to the number of 400 persons, were the victims of this Satan. The courtyard in front of the assembly rooms, in which Nena Sahib had fixed his head-quarters, and in which the women had been imprisoned, was swimming with blood. A large number of women and children who had been cruelly spared, after the capitulation, for a worse fate than instant death, had been barbarously slaughtered on the previous morning—the former having been stripped naked, then beheaded and thrown into a well; the latter having been hurled down alive upon their butchered mothers, whose blood reeked on their mangled bodies. Only four escaped, viz., the wife of a merchant and three others,

The tragedy at Bangor, resulting in the death of Charles Lowel!, a Jad fourteen years old, from a stab with a dirk- knife by another lad of the same age, named W illiam Crosby, has created great excitement in that vicinity. The Bangor Courier gives the following particulars :—

« When the schools were dismissed at noon, it seems that a number of boys, including young Lowell, made an attack upon William Crosby, with the avowed intention of cutting off his hair, which hung in ringlets behind, and in the heat of the scuffle, Crosby having a dirk-knife in his hand, fatally stabbed young Lowell in his left side. He did not drop im- mediately, but picked up a stone and threw it at Crosby, and struck him once or twice, when Mr. Wm. P. Wingate, who was passing in a carriage, and had not noticed the stabbing, spoke to him for throwing the stone. He replied, ‘I am stubbed!’ and Mr. Wiogate immediately jumped from his wagon, took the boy in his arms and carried him into Dodge’s Hotel. Doctors Mason, Morrison and MacRuer were soon present, but the wound was futal, and the boy died within ten minutes of the time when he was brought in. The blade of the knife was between three or four inches in length. It was probably driven to its full length—the incision being very near the heart, and that organ being fatally injured.”

To tur Eprror or tre EXAMINER.

Sir,—In consequence of Mr. James B. Cooper's remarks under an article in the last Monztor, headed, ‘* The Slanderers in a fix,” [ am again compelled to solicit a small space in your paper. Mr. Qooper bas thought proper to deny the truth of my former statement, and that on the authority of his mother; but I do not believe that lady evey gave any such authority. It was only a day or two since that Mr. Ball told me, in Col. Swabey’s presence, that he heard from Mrs. Cullen herself a statement exactly similar to the one IL made, and I believe many more are in a position to say the same, I have seen the document, in the Registry Office, al- luded to by Mr. Cooper. He (no doubt with filial piety) makes over the property of James Cullen and his mother, to the latter for her lifetime, having first secured the reversion to himself, binding her to insure the property for £150—(the amount of Mr. Duncan’s mortgage)—~and to pay quit rents. When he tells the public he has placed his mother in a better pusition than she was, by securing her the whole proceeds of the property for her lifetime, instead of one-third, he does not say bow he could legally deprive James Cullen—( Mrs. Culleu’s only son by her late husband)—of his share of the property, for I understand the late Mr. Cullen died intestate. Nor does he mention a word of the offer made by Mr. Web- ster of £300 over the debt due on the property ; and of the conversation he had with me in the Secretary’s Office, when I told him what be has since compelled me to make public.

LATEST NEWS FROM ENGLAND.

We received on Friday evening, by the steamer from Pictou, another English Mail, with dates to the 26th ult. There is little or no news in addition to what has been received by the arrival of the Jura. English papers continue to publish the most horrifying details of the progress of the Bengal mutiny, and the mutineers continue in their stronghold at Delhi. We give in our present issue some extracts from our late papers, and will furnish others in our next.

THE INDIAN MUTINIES. ARRIVAL OF FUGITIVES FROM DELHI AND LUCKNOW.—ALARM AT CALCUTTA.

The Colombo arrived at Southampton on Thursday, with the heavy portion of the India, China, and Australian mails, She has brought nearly 150 passeugers. Amongst them are about sixty children. A number of the passengers are refu- gees from Delhi, Lucknow, and other mutinous parts of India. The Colombo anchored off Netley Abbey. The Lady Mayor- ess, from London, and Mayor of Southampton proceeded early in the morning down Southampton Water to the Col- ombo, to welcome the refugess from India, and to render them any assistance that might be necessary. Scores of people were assembled in the docks to see the passengers by the Colombo land. The scenes in the docks at the meeting of friends were affecting in the extreme. Many of the ladies were hurried out of Luckuow and Delhi at the commencement of the matiny, and do not know what has become of their husbands. They have suffered great hardships; many of them made their escape almost naked, and were nearly starved in tne jungle. <A little dog is on board the Colombo, be- longing to Col. Goldney, whose life was sought by the muti- nous Sepoys. The dog is covered with wounds. It escaped from Delhi with Mrs. Goldney, who is on board the Colombo, Colonel Lenuox, wife, and daughter are amongst the passen- gers.

At last the symptoms of wutiny became unmistakeable even to the obtuse senses of the mili authorities, and then the attempt to disarm was so clumsi! made as to fail, and to cause the loss of about 200 lives, ang probably from 10 to 20 lacs worth of property. All the valuable lives sacrificed at Cawnpore and at Lucknow, all the loss of property throughout the adjoining provinces, and all the murders at Allahabad, migot have been easily prevented, Jung Bahadoor, the ruler of Nepaul, has written to a friend here that at an early period of the mutiny he offered to send 10,900 men to the assistence of Government, and, if desired, to take the command of them himself. Thinking, as every. rational man did, the oceasion urgent, he pushed on 3,000 at once into the British territories. He received a civil answer, declining his offer, and requesting that the 3,000 men t be withdrawn. Before they could reach the frontier a message came, requesting they might once more advance on Lucknow ; which was complied with, but too late, it is to be feared, to be of much service. ‘ Now,’ remarks this sagacioug ruler, in the letter above mentioned, ‘if this is the way you treat your allies, you need not be surprised if they lose ail confidence in you.’”

ALARM AT BARRACKPORE—THE REBELS MAKING THEIR Way TO CALCUTTA,

Barnackporr, Ava. 6,—IL write while a great panic exists not only here, but to a painful degree in Calcutta, in con- sequence of the Mahomedans having to celebrate one of their greatest feasts for two or three days, commencing to-day. [t is feared that they will rise, from their fanatical state of mind about our reign having ceased, and that they will produce their concealed arms and murder us, are to be stationed in different parts of Calcutta. The Volunteer Guard are obliged to remain permanently as soldiers, and a sharp look out is to be kept. I came down here a week to do duty with the 35th, H.M.’s service, which is really nothing. There are about 30 patients in the hospital bun- galow, with a low remittent fever, out and out genuine hepatitis, and here and there delirium tremens or sunstroke, There are about 200 men and 20 officers of the right wing, the rest being in Calcutta and Berhampore. Besides. as, there are in the place about 50 sailors to man the guns, and three regiments of the blackguard Sepoys the 43rd, the 70th, and 2nd Grenadiers, who would come down upon us without a moment’s hesitation if they had their arms. As it is, we cannot go to bed nor get up in the morning, without the fear of their attacking us with talwars, which we kaow quite well are in the possession of great numbers of them. Our bungalows are close together, and near the 35th barracks, and the whole of us have Enfield rifles, and a dozen or two rounds ; the men have each got 100. Ouly fancy. By Jove, they would get a peppering, and if they were to beat us back we should make the barrack our fortress, and away at them. We all expected something of a rise Sunday or Monday; it was a great Mahomedan festival, rour of us slept in a room between two other rooms i by ladies, and a formidable sight it would bave been if you could have only peeped in. By each bed you would have. seen an Enfield rifle and several rounds of cartridges, a sword or talwar, and perhaps a pistol. There are two old scoundrels in the guard-room who I have been to see to-day, and who have been exciting the Sepoys to mutiny ; they are sure to be hung. Affairs are getting worse in this A and I have little doubt that we shal] have our turn ip th place, for we have only 200 men of the 35th, with 50 sailors, as | have said, and it is manifest that the rebels are working their way towards Calcutta. At Raneegunge, which is about 100 miles from here, and the terminal station of the railway which unites it with Calcutta, there is anticipation of a shine. Last night, 150 Sikhs and a few men of the Calcutta wing of our regiment went down there to preserve the telegraph and railway lines, the destruction of which have been attempted by the Sepoys and disaffected villagers,

ARRIVAL OF REINFORCEMENTS AT CALCUTTA.

The strength of the force which arrived at Calcutta with Lord Elgin was—officers and marines, 864, and a detach- ‘ment of the 90th Regiment, consistiug of 99 men. The following were expected immediately :—H. M. 8. Pearl, with 199 men of the 90th Regiment, and 260 officers and marines ; the steamer Lancefield, with 128 men of the 59th iment ; the Kennington, with 140 of the 5th Fusileers ; making a total arrived and immediately expected of 1,700 men.

GENERAL HAVELOCK AGAIN ON THE ROAD TO LUCKNOW WITE REINFORCEMENTS,

The retreat of General Havelock, with his sick and wounded, on the 31st of July, was of a very temporary character ; for, having obtained more than adequate rein- forcements, this brave and distinguished officer proceeded en the Ist of August, full of confidence, on his onward march to the relief of Lucknow, which he expeeted to reach on the Sth of that month. May every suecess, say we, attend him in his glorious enterprise ?

It is most gratifying to find that the Dinapore mutiny has not stopped the flow of reinforcements up the 3 it not only assures to Havelock the means of employing his military talents in his country’s cause, but shows that the Government at Calcutta were fully alive to the importance of Havelock’s operations, and that they had his supports beforehand. We know, also, a sufficient number of men must have arrived at Calcutta to enable the Government to feed the stream of assistance owing up to Havelock, and at the same time deat effectually with the shattered rebels of Dinapore. | two or three occasions within the last month or two, indulged in yery gross and unjustifiable reference to our own worldly state and that of the editor of the People’s Journal. To this’ unprovoked assault we would not haye replied had it beed confined to ourselves; but when Mr. J. B. Cooper saw fit ® refer to another’s supposed poverty, as an argument againt his editorial character and public principles, we thought, and still think, that the best way to check such impertivence W# to let the public know that he who was so profuse in his@, nunciations of the res augusta domi—real or supposed—of bis neighbours, was not himself exactly in a position to give mate to Coutts or to play at span counter with Rothschild.

In replying to our remarks, Mr. J. B. Cooper thought pi per to drag in the name of the Hon. James Warburton, chart ing that gentleman with haying made statements of which 0 confirmation could be adduced. Mr. Warburton considered it, due to his reputation to give his authority for at least 00 statement attributed to him, which authority happened—@ fortunately enough for Mr. Cooper—to be no other than his own mother!
