Fnox lama—There is a narrative from m- bcy Times of June 18th, of the disastrous _ ' two transport ships from England—the L0 in. Bentinck, and Lord Castlereagh, with the loss of a

t number of lives. The following is an extract- in this narrative!

The Lord iVm. Bentinck, Captain 0rd, with one hag ithem with a ﬁery spirit, and meat; a few of their number, former, were lying senseless on the ﬂoor; otherS, cursing and howling like half-furnished -wolVeS,,

hundred and ﬁfty troops and passengers on board, had been beating off the mouth of the harbor, for’ two or three days, but was prevented entering by

the violence of the weather. On the afternoon ot'thel 17th, she was seen standing across the opening of ', Black Bay in gallant style, and every hope was enter- i mind, if she could stand on ﬁve minutes longer; of her weathering the S. W. prong of the lighthouse. Unhappily, an immense sea forged over, and pooped her, and she struck heavily on the rocks, at'ten iii.- nutes past four, r. M. Heavy squalls of mud and. rain soon drove her masts over her side, and a quar-

ter of an hour after the commencement of the occur- ( qua .

rence, she was a complete unmanageable iViecquéZ:x

related the following instance of these men’s con- duct. The Aga was ill, and tended by his boautiful and beloved wife, when the rufﬁans burst into his chamber. “1 read their purpose,” said he, “ in their ‘ looks; but 1 was stricken, and could not lift a ﬁnger to save her for whose Jill: I would gladly have for- ifeited my own. A savage ruﬂian approached her entreaties for life were unavailing; yet for an in- stant her extreme beauty arrested his arm—but it 'was only for an instant; his dagger again gleamed l on high, and she sunk a bleeding Victim besnie me.

’l‘liecrew and passengers were seen to crowd forward to the forecastle. " '

Three ladies were on board, Mrs. Fraser, Mrs. Eckford, and Miss Robertson, also a maid servant , and some soldiers’ wives and children. Captain C. 5 _Benbow was in command of the troops, and Doctorj

' Fms": Mr. Mason (a cadet,) and several other pas- I sengers, whose names we are not able to learn, were on board. She ’kept ﬁring guns and showmg ignals of distress, but, alas ! little aid could be al-l 1limited—The surf was too violent for a boat to live in, and the most dismal apprehensions were enter- , tained. She ﬁrst hoisted out her gig, which rodey

lantly for awhile, but was soon engulphed. He aunch was then got alongside, and some men were ; seen to enter her. One gentleman was observed, before he descended the side, to elevate his hands to i

heaven as if in prayer; he then went into her, and i in a moment she shared the fate of the other boats. ' Having nothing to hoist her out by, the long boat appeared to be pushed over the side by mam force. , She also sunk, never to rise. fortunate were distinctly audible in the lulls of the wind, and ﬁlled every spectator on shore with hor- , For and distress. N0 hand could be held out to save. ‘ ' Alter much delay, boats were brought from the dockyards by Coolies, and we observed the very, great exertions made by the captains belonging to this rt in endeavouring to bring them up and launchothem. As boats were brought down, of course aﬂer great delay, from the distance from t e .ﬁm,) every means were tried to ﬂoat them and steer them to the wreck. Captains Saunders and Hayman, of the Indian Navy, were especially con- spicuous in their exertions, leaving no means un- tried riyhile Captains M‘Gregor, Baxter, and many ’others, "attempted in vain to steer to the ill-fated

Manby’s principle, but failed. The Victoria steamer proceeded as near as she could to the spot, - but ig'was evening before she could get her steam 3“ ' ' tly up to move, and even then she could not ,hpprouoh the wreck with the smallest chance or ‘ ~luccass. ’ Thousands of anxious spectators were assembled at the lighthouse during the evening, and perhaps a more painful and intense interest was never excited in the society of Bombay. Night, dark and lower- ing, fell, and we believe many a heartfelt prayer was offered up to the throne of grace for those who were so near on the brink of eternity. The moon rose about nine o’clock, and hopes were entertained that she might hold tovether until morning, but the gale still continued violent. By twelve o’clock at night a raﬁ with ten men, had by great exertions reached the shore' ; but 'at half—past three the vessel ﬁnally went to pieces. Another raft had been prepared, on which the ladies, seven children, and the passengers Were laced—Hopes, however faint, were breathed that s e might bring her precious cargo safe to land, bug'- alasna lofty wave struck her, and when she arose from the shock, neither the ladies, children, no: 16 ‘oﬂytheir comrades, could be descried by the

I "cold and shivering—Captain Benbow, Doctor Fraser, and Mr. Manson, were among the survivors, also two ofﬁcers of the vessel.

- , The captain and his son were reported drowned, but as yet no accurate information on these points can be pollected. Another raft with 17 men on it was carried into Black Bay, and getting entangled

them (two having died during the night,) were saved by the exertions of Captain Saunders. But as if misfortunes were never to come single, the Castle- rmaglggiaptain Tonks, from Karrack, with 150 troops I on , about 12 o’clock at night, having it is said seen the lights in the wreck and mistaking her for a vessel at anchor, bore u , and also went on shore a few yards distance 0 the other wreck. This morning before day light, as active means as could be taken (considering the paucity of boats and men) were set on foot to bring off the crew and passen- ge'n, and the same parties still exerted themselves, and about 10 a. in. about 150 sepoys of the 24th native infantry, were got on shore ; four were unfortunately

( From the .Ma-nzari Shark, Smyrna paper, qf29th Aug.)

“ In a few days we ought to learn in what manner the ﬁrst odor of the SUI/TAN, on the treaty of the 25th July, has been received by MEHEMET ALI. Many imagine he will order Inaanm Poona to ad- vance upon Constantinople, but We can scarcely join in this opinion. IBRAHIM’S army in Syria does not exceed 50,000 men. It is reasonable to suppose that he will not attempt to march forward without leaviii in Syria troops enough to guard the various strong olds, and garrison the chief towns.

“ \Vith the country in a state of insurrection, this will, merely to preserve a defensive attitude, require at the lowest estimate, 20,000 men; then he must keep up his line of communication, which being long, would take fully 5,000 more, so that he would remain with only 25,000 to carry him to Constanti- nople, through a country in which he could get no available recruits, and which would supply very inadequate means of subsistence. ness to attempt an invasion under such circum- stances, particularly, as» he knows, that befire he could get halfway to the capital, he Would be met by a superior force of Turkish troops, which might succeed in thinning his ranks at every step, without accepting a decisive battle. invincibility be' once destroyed, and all, who now crouch before him ﬁ'om fear, all who adhere to his cause, for the sole purpose of being on the strongest and safest side, all who have been disgusted at his tyranny, and many more, would that moment abandon him.

“But let us grant a physical impossibility, viz. ' that lBRAHnI and his victorious bands reach the shores of the Bosphorus, and take up their quarters in Scutari, how are they to get across the sea to Constantinople? Every boat, every possible means among the rocks, remained um“ morning, and 15 of» of transport 'would previously have been removed from the ASiatic side, and with a ﬂeet of foreign men-of-war lying in the intermediate space,- he would ﬁnd himself disappointed of his intended prey. What would then be his situation? These are our reasons for imagining that he will be too . great an error as to attempt to invade Constantinople. He may advance a few marches to frighten us, but that will be all.”

The greatest activity continues to prevail in the war department, and several foreign steamers of Mehemet Ali’s, the Hajjii Babe, among the her) have been kept at work, in conveying troops to Samsoun. Large quantities of artillery, ammunition

Not a shot was ﬁred, but the attempted barricade was dispersed in an instant without opposition, and at eight in the evening the city was perfectly tranquil, the crowds having entirely dispersed from the Boulevards and public places. Several detachments of troops arri- ved from Fontaiiiebleau during the day, conveyed by the steamers that navigate the Upper Seine. It was reported that an attempt to rescue Prince Louis Napoleon from the Conciergerie had been medita- ted, and that the Prince had, in consequence, been removed to Vincennes. Both these rumours were unfounded. In the afternoon, a workman, who had been encouraging others to revolt, was arrested on the Place de la Bastilc. A loaded pistol, some car- tridges, and a dagger were found in his pockets. Since Monday no disturbance has taken place, no large bodies of workmen being allowed to assemble. Yet what must be the condition of the capital in which 50,000 troops are required to preserve the public tranquillity !

SPAIN.

The great question of the Corporation-law, which has mainly caused the late. disturbances in Spain, is likely to be productive of another Civil War, unless the Queen relinquish her purpose of placing the corporations under the inﬂuence of the Grotvn._ In this struggle, the object of the corporations is to maintain the unrestricted privileges, which they obtained conditionally at the time of the Cortes Re- volution. It was then understood that the law for their regulation should be the subject of further consideration; but they have, until the present time, succeeded in ' maintaining their perfect freedom. The law recently passed, and which the Queen was obliged to suspend by the riots at Barcelona, places the nomination of the Mayors in the hands of the government, and imposes a qualiﬁcation on the, members of the corporations. To this the Exaltado or Radical party, at the head of which is Espartero, are violently opposed.

The Paris papers of Saturday bring news of con- siderable importance from the Spanish capital, announcing the formation ‘ by the Queen Regent, at Valentin, of a Moderado Cabinet, and the conse- quences to which that step had given ris ' , Madrid. The ministry was, it seems, appointed 'the 28th Aug, and is composed as follows :—-President of the Council and Mniister of Justice, ad interim, Senor l Costazar; Minister of War, General Xavier Aspiroz; Foreign Affairs, Antonio-y-Zayas; Finance, ad interim Senor Secades ...... ..No sooner did the news ofthe formation of this ministry transpire, than the muni— cipality of Madrid declared itself permanent, and the national militia took up arms and occupied the principal posts. The Captain General Aldamais’s horse was killer], and his aid-de-camp wounded. He then took up a position at the Retiero with two battalions, one squadron, and several pieces of ar- tillery. The political chief of Madrid, General Buerens, was arrested and conﬁned under a guard at the Hotel do Ville. In spite ofthese events, how- ever, the aspect of Madrid had become tranquil on the evening of the 1st Sept. The Messenger gives the above list of the new ministry, but expresses its fears, that although the city had become compur- . atively tranquil, a desperate struggle would take place on the ensuing day. The French government patronises the Moderudocs. /

Our correspondent at Barcelona has forwarded to us, by special courier to Perpignan, the important reply of ESPARTERO to the QUEEN REGENT. It is a bold, decisive, soldierlike manifesto, not wanting in courtesy, but absolutely refusing to iinbrue his hands innthe blood of his fellow-citizens, and renew the cm] war, in order that the Camarilla might reign, and the alcaldes of the great towns be nominated by the Court, instead of being elected, as they have been from time immemorial, by their fellow-sitizeiis.

On the receipt of this letter, the QUEEN REGENT must come, to the (decision of either accepting the terms offered by the citizens of Madridhhended by the respectable and moderate persons composing the Junta, or she must embark for France. Embark for France ! Abandon the Regency! Simply be- cause her MAJESTY cannot exercise a power which FERDINAND never exercised, viz., nominating the alcaldes of corporations. This appears madness past belief. And yet it is likely the QUEEN REGENT would rather trust her daughter to the hands of the French than to the Liberals of her own countrv~ Let us, however, not anticipate the consequences of a step which is possible, but not yet irrevocable.

Meanwhile the insurrection continues to spread. The towns of Segovia, Huesca, and Grenada, as well as Barcelona, have openly declared their concur- rence in the acts of the junta of Madrid. On the 9th, a body of troops amounting to 2,500 or 3,000 men entered the capital, having joined the move- ment. A Captain General had been despatched to Madrid by the Queen, to replace Almada; but it was not thought that he would be admitted by the junta. '

Salamanca has given its adhesion to the glorious demonstration of the capital of the Spanish nation; the municipality of the former city has'expr'ess'ed its

etenmnation to combine its eﬂ‘orts With those of the Ayuntamiento of Madrid. v '
