A fearful catastrophe occurred in the Mer- isey on the 24th alt. A large steamer blew up with # tremendous report. There were two vessels of similar dimensions and equipments purchased by the Greek Government, and about to be despatched to the Pirraeus—-the Bubulina (to which the calamity ocearred), and the Amphitrite. They were to have | sailed that morning from Liverpool, and were jmanned by Greek sailors, but Kaglish eigi- jueers and firemen. The Bubulina was lyi.g | off the Hoating magazines, where she had jut ifinished taking on board her stoves of gur-

The large majority of the engi- neers and firemen perished at once, either from the explosion or by drowning.

CHRISTMAS,

ee

Tae head which so freely conceived, the heart which so warmly felt, and the hand which so happily penned the cheering, charity-inciting, and ever acveptable Christmas articles of the Leuminer, are now, alas! mouldering in the grave; and we, who ere now called wpon to asssume the tem occupancy of the Chair, which, for seventeen years. was filled by, perhaps, the most talented, but, certainly, by the most brilliant, polished, and pleasing writer, that hag ever bad the folf control and management of any portion of our Island Presa, cannot but be humbly sensible how little qualified we are, in comparison with hisn, to fill, for however short a time, the place which has been vacated by his much lamented divath.

In the ediforws? position, which we at this motuent occupy, the near approach of Christmas Day reminds us of the especial editorial duty of the season ; bus, preoccupied as, for some time past, we have been, and still are, by » diversity of businese obligations, we should, were we to attempt ity find it quite impossible to acquit ourselves of thet duty in a manner which we could reasonably expect to-meet with the full acceptance aud approbation of oar readers. In the exigence of our position, we, however, esteem ourselves very fortanate in being able to lay before them,. instead of any production of our own, of necessity composed:

wud in many places their beds are filled with luege boulders, washed down from the hills. The country is generally covered with brush wood, and its appearance ix said to resemble very mach the banks of the Indus. The or dinary Indian babul, so well known to Anglo. Indians, is very common, and is almost rhe Jargest shrub, for it cannot here be called a tree.

in the anchorage at present there are abont ten steamers and six sailing transports. The shore is very flat, the tide receding about two hundred yards, although its rise and fall are only about four feet. The beach is formed of » muddy sand, very fine and firm. At no stage of the tide can truops be landed without their wading, or stores without a transit of fifty yards throngh the shallow water. This entails great labor with the latter, as they have te he carried by coolies abo ut two hondred and fifty yards before they are out of reach of the tide. Atthe landing place there is ouly a small spit, about one hundred yards long and forty broad, which is not covered at the highest spring tides. Three companies of native sappers are consequently now employed in raising and reclaiming some more land to serve a3.a temporary laudiny p\ace for stores.

The grand depot wil! be about a mile inland, and a tramway will connect it with the landing

laces. A pier is also being constructed to stores. It is proposed to have always « —< of eight feet at the picr-head, and to this, it will be about 200 rards in length. Thia would be but a small work if the mate- ris's for making it were available; but the stone has to be brought in Arab boats from the opposite side of the bay, about twelve mites distant, and they only make one trip in the day. At present all these boats are em- ployed im landiag stores argently required, so the progress is confined to the portion close to high water, where the sappers are engaged in rivetting the embankment with stout fascines fastened with stakes driven into the sand. When the pier is completed, it will have a tramway ‘aid to its head, which will facilitate landing operations greatly.

Although the slope of the beach from high water to low water mark is very gradual, the water from the latter deepens rapidly, and vessels lying within 200 yartls of it swing in six fathoms.

Great dificultiet were at first experienced in the disemharkation of horses, mules and stores, but they arebeing gradually overcome as fresh boats arrive daily from the places alomg the coast. Unfortunately, the services of the only tug steannr were temporarily lost by her grounding on 4 sand bank, when re- conoitering the head of the bay with Colonel Merewether. She was gut o'f yesterday with- ont damage, and will prove » great acquisition wane te boats frem the ships to the ®

The Tenth Bombay native infantry, ina few days will be marched sn another i ahout ten miles away, where water is plentiful and cood, and ouly the sappers and miners will de left to form working parties.

Hitherto the eforts to obtain water close to the ghore have met with poor success. A few of the wells yield very indifferent water in Jimited quantities, and many have been spoiler by inemasing their depth. Six inches after the water bearing strata had been reached a

~ saline hed had heen tapped, which ‘rendered all thewater brackish and unfit for use. Al- most all the steamers at anchor are emploved in condensing water for the use of the troops, and large quantities are landed from the ships each day.
