LOOS OP THE STEAD ARCTIC.
New Fork, Ore. 11-8 30 A. 1...
The steamer A rrtic was lost off Cape Race ttli
the 27th ult. Only 32 known to be saved.
Eighteen have arrived here.
The Arctic came in collision with an unknown
propeller as Won on the 47th September, about
40 miles off Cape Race, in a dense for,. Th e
triiltiftrof the Arrtic was about 13 knots an hour,
and the propellor had all sails net with a 'strong
fair wind.
It was at first supposed that the Arctic had
imsettined little l or no injury, and assistance was
immediately rendered to the propeller, wideh was
frightfully damaged; but it was soon di/0 0141143 d
that the Arctic was leaking fast, and it gained so
rapidly that the fires were soon extinguished.—
Every effort was then Made to save those on the
Arctit—but as four or five boats had left to ren
der assistance to the propeller, there was but one
left, which was soon filled, and a raft was hasti
ly constructed.
A panic took possession of those on board the
Arctic, and they crowded for the raft.
A large number reached the raft, and others
drowned in the attempt.
All this time the vessel was fist tilling, and of
a sudden she, with all remaining on board, was
eagulpbed in the sea
All on the raft, escept one, who clung to it for
24 hours, were drowned
At 3 o'clock P M. of the 28th, the Bargite
Heron, of St. Andrews, N 8., Capt T. Wall,
hove in sight, and took those in the boat on board
—32 in number Eighteen of them were subee
luently transferred to the ship Lebanon, and ar
nved' here this A. M.
Most of those who were saved belonged to the
erew.
The Arctic had 221; patasengers and a crew of
175 men.
Upwards of 200 men were seeu ou the propel
ler whose fate is unknown,
Capt. T. Wall, of the /Limn, states, however,
that on the 28th, in the morning, he saw a sin
trlooking vessel in the distance, which it has
i conjectured may be the wreck of the pro
peller
Hopes are entertained that some of the miss•
ing boats may have been picked up, or reached
land, and that the list of saved may be greatly
increased
HALIFAX, Oct. 11.
No advises yet received from the missing boats
of the .4retir. lu addition to the brigantine dam
Dizu, dispatched by Warren and Brothers under
an arragement with the American Consul, and
other vessels, the Right Rev. Mr. Field has
placed his yacht thick at the disposal of Mr.
Newman, who lost no time in fitting her out for
sea. She left at 1 P. M , yesterday, with instruc
tions to cruise for six days southward of the is
land.
The steanier arrived from Westwood on Mon
day, evening, and remained at the Co's wharf till
yesterday afternoon
The following statement of the loss of the
Arctic, by Mr Balham, the 2tl officer, appeared
in an extra on Tuesday. Mr B. and the other
officers and passengers saved in the two boats,
arrived at Broad Cove and reached here on Tues
day
On Wednesday, the 27th, at noon, Cape Race
bearing north-west, G 5 miles distant, while run
ning in a very thick fog, were struck on the star
board bow, abut 110 feet abaft the cut-water, by
an non steamer, which made three large boles—
two below the water—une of which was about
5} in length and I -r I 4 wide, leaving the whale
cut-water and stem of the iron 4tearucr clear
through the _trot, '• side
So dense was the fog that the vessel muld nut
be seen a minute before the collision The helm
was put hard a starboard, the engine was stopped
instantly, and backed at full speed until clear of
the other steawer, which occupied about two
minutes
The French steamer seemed to be sinking bow
first. Capt. Luce immediately gave orders to
clear away the quarter boats, which was done,
and Mr. Gourley, chief officer, left the Arctic, in
charge of the starboard boat.
On lowering the port boat, the Captain ex
claimed, "hoist up that boat again." Mr Bel
ham then beckoned me to go to him Upon
doing so, he told me to go over to the bow to as
certain, if possible, what damage had been done.
: I then found the holes above mentioned
Upon informing him of the facts,be gave orders
to get sails up and try and get them around the
bow to stop the leak, wliich was promptly done ,
but to ti advantage whitever So much of the
bow and iron was broken off from the other
steamer that the ( sails could not be brought close
to the vessel• 4ide A carpenter was thee lowered
down over the veleiels sides, and pillows and mat
tresses passed down to him to try, if possible, to
force them in, but the leakage was found to be
so far below the water line that they could not
be used, and 'every exertion to stop the leak
proved unavailing
Capt Luce thee ordered the ship'• head to be
kept ahead which. bore NWby W By this
time, we had l.st sight of the chief officers boat
and the other steamer, which we, supposed had
sunk. We had not been on our course more than
four or five minutes before she ran over a .boat
and crew belonging to the other vessel, all of
whoM perished except one, who =lea bold of a
rope hanging over the bow
Directly the boat was seen, orders were given I
to stop the engine, which the chief engineer said
oould not be done, as the ship was fast sinking.
In about 30 initiates all the lower fires were out,
and at least 3 feet water in the bold fore and aft.
By this time the confusion among the passen
gers was very great, but they used all efforts to ,
assist the crew in keeping the deck pumps going,
and in lighting the ship forward for the purpose
of endeavoring to get at the leak from inside,
-which was found to b.. useless and numbers of
them going into the boats which were still bang
ing at the davits
In 45 minutes atter the collision, I came up
from the forehold and informed the captain that
the water was on a level with the lower deck
beam, and that it was impossible to get at the
leak. I asked him what he thought would be
the fate of the ship, when he stated his belief to
me that there was no hope of saving her. He
then told me to see to my boats.
Oa going to those on the port
,side, I found
diem oompletely filled with men, women and
siti/dreo, and no possibility of getting near them.
I immediately went to the starboard side and or
doted two of the crew to lower the guard boat,
and asked Captain what were hie intentions.—
He replied that the ship's fate should be his.
I then asked hiiidf he would allow his son to
go, as I intended to take a boat, but he returned
me the answer that be would share his fate. It
was soon diseovered that there was 10 hope of
saving the Arctic, and the lady, daughter and
son of Mr. I. K. Collins, with several ladles,
were put on board a boat, in the set of lowering
which, one of the tackles gave way, and all, ex
cept sae lady who clung to a sailor holding fast
to dee boat, were precipitates! into the sea and
Lost.
I then )LL pod into a boot, and was ordered
by the Captain to cut away the tackle, falls, and
drop =der the stern. I aid so, sivl at the muse
tiastaleant 20 persons jumped overload, of whoa
<l7 or 18 were picked up. We fell in with ea
other boat which Lad been lowered from the oth

leaving 19 in her and 26 in my own boat.

ANOTKER DUD OP BLOOD.—Yesterday morn
ing Mr. Benj. Liwranoe, who had been shot in
the back by Benj. Johnson, late of Lexington,
Ky., died from the abets of the wound. His
system had been paralysed from the moment he
received the fatal shot, and after lingering three
days expired about 4 o'clock yesterday morning,
thus adding one more:bkoody deed to the annals
of Louisville.
An examination of this case:was held in the
Police Court Thursday, the details of which ap
peared in the Courier yesterday. According to
the testimony of the witnesses, the deceased had
a pistol out, and waved it at the crowd in the
large hall or entrance room of the Ghat House.
Almost on the instant, Johnson, who was in the
crowd, drew a pistol, stooped or squatted down,
and fired. Lawrence, who was thirty or forty
feet off, turned away and retreated to the
pursued by Johnson,
who Bred a second shot,
which took effect in the thigh. The deceased
still retreated, running up the street followed by
Johnson, who when a few paces behind his vic
tim, fired the third and fatal shot, which struck
the shoulder blade, and lodged in the spine.—
Lawrence fell to the ground, and:was borne away
by persons who gathered around, and died the
morning after the examination of the mac—
Johnson was held to bail to answer to the charge
of "shooting with intent to kill." Now that the
man is dead, what course will the law purpose ?

LETTER PROM A NAVAL OMORR.-A friend
has permitted us to look at a letter just received
from a gentleman in the Naval service on board
the United States steamer Sammie, dated at
Spezia, September 18. It is about as late as
anything we have from that quarter, through
English channels, and altogether reliable. We
make an extract :
Since I last wrote to you we have been again
to Constantinople. The combined English and
French forces were at Varna, situated a short
distance up the Mack See. They had lost some
thirty thousand men by cholera, and they were
still dying in. great numbers. One Raleigh fri
gate lost one hundred and seventy men during
one night. It is impossible to imagine the hor
rid state they are in. Daring our stay at Con
stantinople orders were received for the forces
to proceed to take Sebastopol,
but from waver
miaow, I had with several English officers, I con
cluded that they were very doubtful of success,
owing to the dreadful condition of the men.—
The sth lust. was the day appointed to make the
attack We shall soon know the result.
On our return we stopped for half an hour at
Messina, where we found the cholera was raging
dreadfully. Since the '2lst of Awmt between
11,000 and 12,000 have died, and they were
still dying at the same rate. Spezia is perfectly
healthy, and bee been so all summer. —St. Louis

IiARNIBLE MURDNE KLAN LIMINGTON—MAN
KILLID BY HIS OVZILSZZA AND WIPE.—We
were informed yesterday evening by pa/meager,
on the cars from Lexington of a tragedy that
occurred in the county of Fayette, on Saturday
night., which almost transcends belief, it is of so
horrible a nature. Mr. Fraser, a farmer of the
county, had been absent with his stock at New
York for several months and on Saturday tele
graphed to his family that he would reach home
that evening. His neighbor and partner, Mr.
Castleman, awaited his arrival at the depot, and
conveyed him to his residence. Leaving the
house, Mr. C. was startled about an hour after
ward by the report of a gun. He immediately
went to Fraser's, and there discovered him dead,
the house darkened, Mrs. F. above stairs, Grigg,
the overseer, below, and a daughter, aged eleven,
with the mother. They accounted for the death
of the man by the accidental discharge of a shot
gun, which he had in his hand preparing to shoot
a rat. Suspicions were aroused and the overseer
and Mrs. Fraser both arrested. The body of the
deceased was terribly bruised, a hole shot in his
bead, another through his body, his throat very
nearly out, and three ribs broken, effects - not
reasonably caused by accident. There appears to
be no doubt in the minds of those advised of the
facts, as to the criminality of Mrs. Fraser and
Grigg.—Lowisrille Courier.
ay. The African code of honor is not likely
to be adapted to any other latitude. A recent
publication contains this detail of its process:
At the appointed time, the duelists appeared
upon the field of honor, accompanied by friends
who were to witness their victory or sympathize
in their defeat. Pec.h stalwart savage leaped in
to the arena, armed with a cow bide eat, whose
sharp and triple thongs were capable of infliztf e z
the toughest blows. They stripped, and
their minim into the air, to determine which of
the two should receive the first lashing. The
unfortunate loser immediately took his stand, and
received with the firmness of a martyr, the allot
ted number of blows. Then came the tour pif
the whipper, who, with equal constancy, offered
his back to the scourge of the enraged sufferer.
Thus they alternated until one gave in, or until
the bystanders decreed victory to him who bore
the punishment longest without wincing. The
flayed backs of these chivalrous men of honor
were ever after displayed in token of bravery.

It is supposed, from reliable data, that at least
four hundred thousand emigrants will land on
our shores this year. By the census of 150, the
population to the United States was over twenty
three millions, of which eighteen millions were
native whites, over two millions were foreign
born, thirty-nine thousand w, re , f unknown na
tivities, and three millions two hundred thousand
were slaves. From 1810 to 1,569,850 ;
foreigners came to our shores From 1320 to
1830, the average number was only 20,000 a
year. From 1330 to 1846, about 70,000 a year.
The Irish famine and the c..utmental revolution
in 1847, increased the euaigratem to 240,000 in
1847, and to 300,000 in 1850 The total num
ber of emigrants to the United State, - . lace 1790,
' and living in 1850, together with descendants.
amounted, (when the census was taken,) to
4,304,417. The great number of deaths among
foreigners in the United States is appalling, and
average, it is thought, at least fifty per cent
What effect the present war will have upon the
question of emigration, remains to be seen. It is
probable that among thy• peasantry of Germany,
many will seek shelter in this coentry from the
curse which a protracted war will entail upon the
continent. On the other hand, the emigration
from Ireland may be partially checked by en
liatmente in the army, which opens an avenue by
which a large number of its inhabitants can es
cape from starvation.

enough between them to produce fusion, or the

If that does sot justify slavery, remarks the
St. Louis baelligencer, we should like to see it
done. Either the Frannie thinks that there are
no "such distinctly marked and uncongenial
characteristics" about the negroes as prevent
them from occupying the same territory as the
whites on terms of equality, or it should cease
its phillippics on the subject of slav - lry. Slavery
in fact, whether u name or not, will exist, it
says, wherever such differences of race exist, Is
it that the Tribune is the ehampion of negroes
alone, and is willing to give the Chinese irp to

in the abstract, sad not merely the enslavement
of the Masks.
