(From the Sydney Herald, Jan. 22). The wreck of this favorite vessel will he heard of with deep regret in Sydney. She was the Inst ship built for a very old favorite in the Australian trade, Captain Neathy, and since his death has been commanded by another old friend, Capt. Swanson. Deep sympathy will ho felt for the passengers, nearly all Australians returning home, for the sufferings they underwent on the reef L* Rocas. Mercifully all lives were saved, and we have heard of no serious results, per' tonally, to any one on hoard. The passengers and crew reached Southampton on the 4th of November, on board the Brazil mall steamer Oneida, Which arrived there at midnight. The following is a list of the names of the passengers Mr and Firs Robison, Fir and Firs Jones, child, and son ant, Mrs Mort and family; Mrs and Fliss Hudson; Fir and Firs Davis, infant, and female servant; Mrs Davis, Fir and Mrs Thornton, son, and daughter; Miss Young, Mr and Firs William Christian; Mr and Firs E.

The owners of the Duncan Duuhar were Messrs Gerrately, Hankey, & Sowell, Captain Williams, Messrs Dcvitt & Moore, and Captain Swanson. Uufortunately none of the passengers had insured their passage-money or baggage, and legally tbey had no chum upon the owners, hut the latter have come forward generously in regard to the losses of passengers. The sum paid tor cabin passages was £3,407 ■of this, one-half has been returned; and the expense of taking the passengers and crew from the roof Las Rocas by the royal mail steamsdip Oneida (£1,150) was also paid by the owners affis arrangement was cheerfully agreed to by the unfortunate passengers. The following gratifying address, for his untiring exertions in the trying circumstances in which he and his fol-low-pssengers were placed, nas been presented to our respected citizen, Mr Tuorntou:— At Sea, November 3rd, 1865. To George Thornton, Esq.
