OE q'RUSDRED LIVES, Trobahle Losq if a Boitisk Steamship, with a Regiment of Troops on Buctrd: ! The ship Lebanon arrived at New York early on Wednesday morning, _bringing the sad in telligence that 6C noble.Ainericars steamship Arctic, of the Collins line, had 'been sunk at sea, by a collision, and a large number of her pagsengers lost. The loss of the President and City of Glasgow, and now the sinking ,of the Arctio i forni melancholy epochs in the history .Of .Atlantic steamships. =The following detailed account of the terri ne catastrophe to the Arctic is furnished by 3.11. Geo. H. Burns, the empress messenger of _Mims .LS:, w o was on .oar , an ortu pately escaped the perils of the disaster. .Statement of Mr., Burns.—The steamship Arctic, wall 226 passengers, exclusive of child ren, 175 employea, a valuable cargo, and hea -vy mail, is lost._ Of the more than four hund red souls who left Liverpool .on the 20th ult., full of hope, gayety and health, many return ing from an European tour of pleasure. only thirty-two are known to have been saved, and not more than one hundred can, by any possi bility, have escaped a watery grave. In addition to all this, another large steam er, freighted with hundreds of human beings, has, in all probability, met a like fate, The &Tails of the horrible disaster are as follows : . On Wednesday, September 27, precisely at 12 o'clock, M., in a dense fog, we. came in con tact with a bark rigged iron propeller, with black hull, salmon colored bottom, lead colored', poop and boats, and black pipe. She was 'bound eastward, and had all sail set', with a strong, fair wind. The speed of the Arctic at , the time was about 13 knots an hour. The shock to us appeared slight. hut the damag_e_, lo the fttlivevessel was . frightful. Capt. Luce instantly_ ordered the quarter boats cleared away, and the chief mate, boatswain and three sailors wept to her relief; before other boats left, the order was countermanded.' The arc tic then described a circle twice round the wreck, during which time I caught a glimpse , •of more than t*o hundred people clustered on her, hurricane - fleck. ----At-thiS-juncturc it was first_ascertained_that ' 6.. .ire had Sustained injury, mid the' water. was pouring in at our boss. When the first officer I came alongside to report, the captain was lina ble 'to take him up, but headed -N,. N. W. in the hope of making land. Our position on the prei'ious day, at' 12 o'clock, was • latitude 48 -3,,longitude 45 27. We had run about three hundred and ten miles from the time of this observation until the moment of colliSion, and wCrc supposed to be about 40 miles from Cape - Race. The puieps were vigorously worked, and an an or Chain thrown overboard.; but in .spite of alMertions - , the engines stopped. and the water extinguished the fires. Four of the five other life boats, helieved to have been - well -provisi , m.d, containing the engineers, sailors, a few ,passoigers and all the officers, except She captain and third mate, left the ship'ilt; an - party, stage. The majority of the passengers were workin the:pumps—soine-firing the sig nal, guns, and others launching ,spars. under the 'direction of Captain Luce. and Mr. Dorian, the third mate, to form a raft. order to facilitate this latter work the sixth 'and' last boat was lowered. Dorian. one or two.firemen, three of the other passengers saved, and myself, were busily engaged lashing •ivater casks and settees to the main yard,'two top gallantyards, and several smaller spars; the , captain. ,with a number of gentlemen, pro tecting the work by keeping back the crowd— 'when a Panic'seized all on board, a rush was made, passengers and firemen precipitated themselves headlong over the 'bulwarks on to 'Abe raft, and in a moment our little boat was full. :Ind in imminent 'danger of being sunk. In this' emergency, Dorian ordered the rope held the steamer Co he cut. and with our hands and axes we paddled from the raft's side; The mate, Who throughout preserv'ed great presence of-mind, and . labored with he roic energy. cried out : "For God's sake, cap tain, clear the raft, so that we can work. 1 won't desert the ship while there's a timber above ivaer." lint we sea was now flush .with the dead ligots. In less than three minutes from the - time he spoke, the-stern sunk—the foam went belling over the tumbling heap of lonian' b 6. ings--tuany were dashed finwat d against the pipe. I heard one wild yell. (still ringing in my ears.) and saw the Arctic and the strug gling mass rapidly engulphed. Numbers yet clung to the imperfectly constructed raft ; but. alas, we could render them no aid. Our own situation was no less precarious ; and, cruel as it seemed, we were forced to abandon them to fate. Heaven forbid that I should ever Witness suchrinother scene. We however picked . up ttfb 'snore men, and then,' with an overloaded, boat, without oars. tholepios, food or drink, avoiding with difficulty the fragments of the - wreck, and passing many dead feinales, pre- • pared for-a night upon the ocean. - We secured a' floating pumpkin and cabbage to guard against immediate starvation, lashed a spar to the bow of our boat to keep her bead to the wind tun' sea, and thuS drifted until daylight: the night was cold and fon , gy, with a heavy and. in a cramped. drenched and half naked condition, we suffered terribly. Without dwelling upon our miseries, alle viated mirth be the consciousness that we had endcavofed to do our duty to our fellow men. suffice it to say that at 5 o'clock on the after noon of the 28th, we espied a sail, and raised a handkerchief to attract attention. We were successful. With the rude substitute for oars which we had constructed. during the day by lashing planks to capstan bars, with a view of attempting to gain land when the sea subsided, we pulled towards the ship. On our way-we passed - the remount of the raft, with one man -on it apparently alive. The barque ptuved to be the Huron. of St. Andrews, N. 8.. Capt. A. IVall. bound for 'Quebec. Our men safe on • board. the noble inaarted Dot ian, with sonic of the Huron's crew, returned to the ran and - rescued the poor fel low who lOr twenty-six hours haul clung tothe spats.

We have been Fe -1 lieved from the pestilential association of a few reckless, dishonest, and corrupt men, who as ! i pine to be leaders in the Democratic party, and who have at last shown the public the treach ery they have long cherished in secret. We allude, now, to such men, as s lleatc Frazer, of Lancaster, and Ditvid Wihn4-, of Bradford, the one the avowed' and pledged ally of the Know . Nothings, the other the volunteer friend and advocate of Pollock, the Whig candidate for Governor. We thank 'them for their can t dor—they have at last-relieved the Democracy of a burden. No longer can they be quoted against a party they have betrayed, as the ad vocates of the men and peasures of our corn ' mon political enemies. Like Van Buren, like Hives, like Penrose, like Burden, like Dickey, they have at last been tbrced to admit that they have taken the bounty of the Whigs, and like them, they can no longer refuse to put on the livery of the foes of the Democratic party.
