Hem is one, 'Silence, ladies and gentlemen, for Mr.Longland'S song. What a large ear that bird has for musie,las Pat said of the donkey:" • '• Let and be praised for all Ills ways, But More for having made the ladies; ' Ho serves us all, both great and small, But most in having sent us ladies. “Theres nothing in the wild so sweet, There's nothing such n treat as ladles; The joys of heaven cannot compete, With these wo find in Louder ladies. Whatever pain our tato may bring, While separated from the ladies, - Well fancy every pang a wing, That helps us on towards the Mdies )"The haven's rich ,to where we fly, Brimful of love and living ladles; In spite bf every stormy sky strive to die among the ladles." TICE ARCTIC CALAMITY. Further Accounts by Captain Luce— Thrilling Incidents-1101ra of the Safe .-ty of Others. From the Now York Times of Tuoglayytth. Captain Luce loft Montreal yesterdaymorn ing for :New York. Wnen the train' from the north reached Troy, nearly five' thousand people had collected at the depot in that city, to greet him, and it was with great dif ficulty that Ire was transferred to the• Hudson River Railroad cars, on which the Superin tendent.had generously set apart a car for his use and that of his friends. He Was met at Troy by Mr. S. H. Fearing, his brother in-law. ACcompanying him were - Mr. George F. Allen of this city, Mr. James Sthith, of Natchez, Miss., and Ferdinand Keyn, a young German who was rescued with him. As soon as Captain Luce was seated, he was greeted Ij, scores and hundreds of people, who insisted on shaking him by the hand.—:- Several ladies mine in with daguerreotypes of their lost friends, to ascertain if he could recognize them and give them any intelli gence of their fate. At all the stations where he stopped, Cap tain,,L. was greeted with cheers, and when the train reached , Yonkers, the place of his residence, he found two long lines of citi zens formed, through which he walked, re ceiving warm congratulations and a hearty welcome. From Captain Luce our reporter, -in the course of conversation, obtained information on a variety of interesting topics, which we presentpeloW: After the collision with the Vesta, it will be remembered that a boat was sent from the Vesta, which was run over by the Arctip. Ferdinand Keyn, the young German who was saved on the •piece of the wreck with Captain Luce and Mr. Allen, thiew over a rope to one of the occupants of the boat, and by this act he was rescued. He proved to be a French fisherman named Francois" Gajoick. Subsequently, when they were floating about on, the ocean, in sight of the Cambria, and Unable to attract attention from their great distance, this same fisher- ; man floated near to the Cambria, was dis covered, and picked up. Immediately upon!' 'going on board, he intimated, by signs ,thnt there were others on other pieces of the wreck in the immediate vicinity, and this led to the rescue of Captain Luce and others.— It is thus seen that the act of Keyn, in throwing a rope to the Frenchman, Gajoick,' was the • means of preserving the lives, not only of the latter, Vat of CaptaitLuce, him self, Mr. Allen, and the few remaining survi vors. Some of the, most interesting facts that our reporter obtained from this interview with Captain Luce, were the positions occu pied by the different parties who -were sup posed to, have been : lost, when he last saw ,them.. . When he saw that they must ineidttiblDm I it, and every person on board as keenly appreciating' this fact as himself, (Mr. Dori- Itti's boitt having cut loose from the raft) all on hoard - gathered together to the upper deck. The passengers, each in . turn, came to Captain Luce, gave hiM a farewell shake of the hind, and many.of the facts connected therewith Captain Luce distinctly remem bers. , . , . A large mimber of persons got on water oinks; some lashed two together, thinking they were thus secured. But in many in stances the lashing became loose, and of course , the casks became useless. I saw six different persons climbing up apd.endeavor ing to sastain themselves by two casks.— ,They kept above water fora .time but finally sunk. ' 'After the vessel wet down, a great major ity of thbse. on board, as they rose, got' sin the raft which had been built. A large num ber got on small pieces of the wreck, doors and other fragments floating. by. Thesis grailanflly separated, and each one soon lost When the last. boat was upon deck, Capt. L, succeeded in getting Mr's. Collins and a number of other ladies into it. BuCthey were forced to leave as we required the boat for service in making the raft. They did so without any apparent reluctance. Capt. L. says in this connection that the ladies, after the first fright was over, were as calm ad can well be imagined under such circumstances, and seemed perfectly resigned to whatever might be their fate. PROSPECTS oR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. "I think it quite possible," said Captain Luce, "and not at all improbable, that we will ultimately hear of the safely of others. At this season, most of the vessels that pass near the spot are outward bound; and I see no reason why others may not have been picked up, the same as I and my companions, were. After the gale,' however, of the Sat urday following, I think there was no possi ble chance for any on the pieces of wreck fo be saved. ' They must have perished. Those who were in the boats, however, would ride out the gale in safety, and might have been picked up days afterwards; and provided the boat wa properly managed, by having her _head kep to the sea, I do not see why the occupants need c suffer materially from the heavy seas. "SINKING OF TIIE ARCTIC-DF.ATII ,OF CAPTAIN LUCE'S SON The Arctic settled stern foremost. She went over gradually, until the upper deck got level with the water, when the 'waves swept over us. "As I went'. down,' said Vapt. - Luce, - "after the sinking of the vessel, I was carried down a great distance, with my son Willie in my arms. I opened my eyes to see if I could discover light through the water. It was some time before I could do so, and then it seemed a very longtime beforel reached the surface. - When'l did - - so, - I - - could only have held out a few moments. I saw Willie near me, with a life preserver on him, and was just strugglitig to reach him when a piece of the paddle-box came up, with great force, and fell upon him, striking him upon the head. "I struggled to get away, and on looking around, I saw that the box was sliding upon the water. A short distance back, poor lit tle Willie was lying dead. During my strug gle I had my head cut badly, which caused it to bleed Profusely, and I was compelled for some time afterwards to wash it frequent ly, to keep the blood from blinding my eyes. Mr. Allen and I got upon the paddle-box at about the same time. By some it is supposed from the newspaper accounts, that the piece we were on was the entire paddle-box. This is not so; it was only a part of it, about twelve feet square, and we stood in the con cave. "Some eight or ten others got on the same fragment with us. During the time we were there all the food we had was a small boiled chicken which Mr. Allen had taken from the table before leaving the ship. This was di• vided among those who were on board.— After the ships hove in sight I felt some, thirst and, considerable exhaustion, but so far as the want of food was concerned, I think Leonid have got along for a long time. "We had a trunk on the wreck, from the con tents of which we supposed it belongedto some female nurSt... As late, as the early part of the -last night there were six of us remaining of whom threC fell down from exhaustion and were washed off by the sea. Young Fey t, the German boy who was with us, suf . - fered intensely. • .He happened to have some biscuit with him which . had become soaked with the sail water, and leafing these only in ereased his thirst; and to make matters still worse, he drank some of the sea water. His sufferings' were beyond all deseriptiOn.--H Twice be jumped overboard, saying be Would rather dip than 'suffer as he was doing; and :each time we pulled him back on the wreck. At one time he cut open a vein on his arm, and Bitched his blood The last time he jumped Over was about 'l5 minutes before We discovered the Cambria. "At daybreak we discovered to the north ward of, us a sail, steering directly towards us. At length she changed her course, and steered away. , About fifteen minutes after Kept was rescued from self-destruction a second time, Air. Allen discovered' a 'sail standing for us. She,was, about seven miles MT. She was seen through an 'MTh WWII seemed to form in the fog, and gave us a clear view through .ft.direCtly in the line of the ship. :She..continued standing towards us; but after a while changed her•eourse. Upon this our spirits , again drooped. It was dur ing the time she was thus manceuvering that She picked up'the, Frenchman, who had lie longed' 'p the Vesta. and he innuediately in formed:the officers of the cambria—which provetl to beller innate—that there Ivt_ore prob ably tfltea. snlliolvt in the -vicinity. upon which Ca )t. lilt:l,A \tent tyhtfi with tgarltste tjeralb glass, and discovered us. HO stood towards us, took us .first on board, then kr. Smith, then a piece of the wreck containing three firemen, and another with two others. "After. found that Mr. Dorian was the only, and indeed the only man belonging to the sailing department of the ship, and when everything had been done to keep the ship from sinking, he went vigorously to work to assist me in making a raft, and getting spars over for that, purpose. He was constantly cheering on those around him, and telling them to keep cool and help him, and he would give them a raft that would hold. them all. He did his utmost to accomplish it.— He behaved most manfully throughout. "After I had got on the paddle-box; I hailed to 'Dorian, who was in the boat, and within sight, to come to us, though I do not know whether he heard me or not. Had all within the boat felt disposed, they could by paddling with their hands have reached us, but withotethe'aid of all with him, Mr. Do rian could have effected nothing. "I instructed Mr. Baalham to get a boat down; to put a compass• in beriand have her ready to receive passengers. He did so, when again the fireman and others .sprang over the bulwarks, falling one on top of the other into the boat. And, seeing that this was likely to be. continued, I ordered him to drop out of the way and follow us under the stern of the ship. To my surprise, however, it was not five minutes before , he was out of sight, and with not more thaaone-half of the persons ou board which his boat, was capable of carrying. • • "Mr. Baalham asked me if he should put my little boy in the boat. I said—'No ; should not allow it until other people were provided for—that he must, take his chance with me. "Captain Luce informed our reporter that the smallest boat which left the ship with the Engineer, was capable qt. carrying safely . more persons than the largest boat took away; and that the boats on board were. large e nough to have carried three hundreb persons • "Each one of the bilge injections threw out a column of water as large as a barrel constantly. Each one Of the four steam pumps threw a column of water six inches . in diameter, with tremendous force; and the four dedk pumps worked by hand would dis charge.a column of water of the samediam eter. In spite of all tl*he ship sunk ra pidly."

She was at work early and hitt', &tending the cellar stuirssat a Single bound, jumped over tables with the dishes on, and gave other evidences of un common sprightliness and agility. She al so contracted a marriage with one "Patrick." Meantime,•one. or two of the servant girls left their situation without assigning ony rea : sons. Finally a girl, upon leaving, informed the family that the Albany "help" was steal ing every thing that she could lay her hands to. Upon searching her trunks, this was found to ,be the case, and she was arrested, tried before The Scoharie courts, and senter.- ced to three months in the Albany Peniten tiary.
