TERRIBLE SIIIPWIII-ZUK Iiisoxe ‘I'll! lCl~2Bl-‘.RGS.

We gave some particulars yesterday, as received by telegraph, of the loss of ship John Rutledge, on the pass- age from Liverpool for New York. The ship Germania, from Havre, arrived at New York, reports:

“On the 28th of Feb. ts ship's boat was seen ahead of the Germania. A boat was immediately sent from the latter to the rescue, when a sad spectacle presented itself. In the boat adrift were found one living man and four dead bodies, one of the latter being that of a female. The survivor, Thomas W. Nye, of New Bedford, sat amid the dead, frozen in hands and feet, and himself nearly dead from starvation. lie and the dead by his

side, were all that remained above the waters, out of ‘thirteen who nine day before had left the wreck of the ship John Rutledge’ Capt. Kelly, of this port, belonging to Messrs. Howland di: Bridgeivay. The story of the John Rutledge, as given by Mr. Nye, is as follows: The John Rutledge sailed from Liverpool on the 16th of January. On the l8tli of February, in lat. 45 34, long. 46, 56 W., she fell in with the ice. On the l9th she entered a field ofice, but cleared it. Soon afterwards, however, on the same day, she encountered an iceberg which stove a hole in her bow, and daiuaged her to such an extent, that at six o’clock in the evening she was a complete wreck and evidently sinking. Nothing remain- ad but for those ‘on board to abandon the wreck as they could. Five boats were lowered, four of which took their loads and left. In the fifth boat, which was the one found by the Geruiaiiia, the mate of the John Rutledge, Mr. Atkison, and several others werejust about entering, when it broke adrift with the thirteen already in it, leav- itig the mate and those with him to go doivii with the wreck. Those in the boat now pulled it through the water and ice as they were able, but soon their compass was broken, and amid the snowy and cloudy weather which followed, they knew not wl.ich way they went.

Days passed on, and one by one the thirteen in the boat

sank in death, from the combined i.-ffccts of cold and

starvation, and were thrown overboard, ttiitil on the '3‘tli of February, i\lr. Nye, with the four dead, among whmii was Mrs. Atkinson, the ivifc of the male, was picked up by the Gertn:tiii:i.”

Tor: Mons'ri-:it GUN.-—TllC boring of this huge gun, which is being constructed at the Mersey Steel and Iron Comp:iny’s forge, Liverpool, is all but coinpletod. When finished the barrel will be I5 feet long; it will be 27 inches in diameter at the muzzle, or 84 3-3 lltCll(‘s in circumference ; and 44 inches in diameter at the breech, or [38 .3 inches in circumference. The bore will be I3 feet 6 iticlics long, and I3 inches in diameter, When completed it is estimated it will have cost the company £3000 in material and labour alone. The gun is expect- ed to be ready in about six weeks, and, with the tran- nions complete, will weigh something over 24 tons. When finished it will be drawn through Liverpool by twenty of the company's fine horses, and will ultimately be taken to Waterloo to be tested. The charge will be over I00 lbs. gunpowder, with one of the shots of 302 lbs. Mr. Clay, the manager of the works, is superintending the whole of the work.

Au Ania LION llen-ri:n.—A rival to Gerard, the fam' otis lion killer, has arisen in Algeria. He is an Arab wal the killing of a lion and a lioness. In the night of the ‘list ult., after a heavy fall of snow, he went into the mountains of Aures, armed not like Gerard with excel- lent double-barrelled Devisme’s rifle, pistols, and a poign- ard. but with two simple artillery carbines and a butcher's knife; and, before long, he fell in with a lioness and a lion. He killed the former, and wounded the latter in the foot. The lion limped off, but Baba llassein follow- ed him, and seeing him in a clump of brushwood, again fired, and wounded him between the shoulders. The

The man afterwards had the lion and lioness convcyetl to Baton. The former weighed nearly 6 cwt. and measured nearly I0 feet ; and the latter was also it iiiagnificcnt animal.

THE LATE Mr, Smyrna, M. P.—The verdict of fclo de-se pronounced by the coroner's jury empan- nelled to enquire touching the death of the late Mr. Sadleir, would have had the effect of preventing any religious cerenionial being observed at the interment of the unfortunate gentlemen, had not the body al- ready been consigned to its last resting place. ‘On the Tuesday after the late Mr. Sadleir was found dead on Hampstcad-heath, and after the coroner had given permission for his interment, the body was re- moved from the workhouse at Hampsteatl to the house of the deceased in Gloucester-square, Hyde- psrk, and on the following Thursday morning, at a very early hour, interred in Higligate Cemetery, in the presence of a few of his immediate relatives and others, the burial service being performed by a Roman Catholic clergyman.

EVEN OUR PHYSIC IS ADULTERATED.

Mr. Lindsay Bligh, analytical chemist of St. Blsry's [los- it.u.l,Paddington,said he had made examination! of the quality of drugs, and found many of them of very inferior . guality. He had found lime ‘nice adulterated, and out of our sam les he had examine he only found 1 Per cent. of citric aci and that was in the best sample. there was not the pi-bper amount of acid it would materially intprfore with the use ofit on board ship. great auto or 0 sam- ples ofchloroform were sent in, but not one of them _vt'as of any use ; but that might have arisen from decomposition, or bein-v prepared from improper materials. Samples of opiuia were sent in, most of which were adulteratedaand some of them to the extent of 75 per cent. Ha ha ex- amined the milk sent in, and it was reduced in quality, and in one instance he found itudulterated with chalk. The bread was good, with the exception of its being mixed with otatoes.

The ; medical man who prescribed those powders was not aware I of the proportions of adulteration, so that a surgeon's pre- 5 scription was rarely complied with. Many druggists were selling adulteratcd articles well knowing the fact.

2 now no rou Liirs irouit WINE, assrnussl l Mr. Bitstia further said : He had heard of spurious Port lwine being made from the following recipe :-45 gallons of cider. 6 gallons ofbrandy, 8 gallons of good Port wine, and 2 gallons of ripe sloes. He had tasted an article made of such a compound. He believed there was is sutlioiont: amount of adulteration to justify the interference of the . Legislature. Many wholesale druggists had it book similar to the one he now produced, contairiiii reci as for the purpose y ofniaking compounds, and for udufterat rig drugs in imita- ; tion of those that are genuine. Tho-book was not publish- ied, but was handed down from generation to generation. I It was originally drawn up by a man named Gray, but the last edition was edited by a Mr. Redwood, who suppressed ‘all the recipes for adultei-ation.—Mr. Mofiit wished the ,witness to read at length the recipe in the book " For Making Good Port Winet"—Tbe witness then read as fol- loivs :—-“ For making Good Port : 45 gallons of good cider ; brandy, 6 gallons: good l'ort. ti, gallons; ri osloos,2 gal- lons, water, 2 gallons ; stew the sloos in 2gillons of water, press of} the liquor, and add to the rest; if the colour is not strong and rough, add tincture of red sanders.
