Weighed anchor at ten a.m. Juno 12, at 12 a 1 p.m., olf Sandv Hook, ship steering E.S.E, All went on well until the morning of the 11th, when in lat. 39-21 V. lon. tilth \V., at nine a.m., the watch were thrown into confusion by the docks blowing up, and flames running up the mast; boats all destroyed, ami sails sot on fire, and in a few minute:; all three masts went over the side in flames, ,\t this time live men were below, two of whom got on deck, and the others perished in the flames, Tho remainder -of the crow, ten in number, then took to pieces of the decks and whatever could bo laid hold of. I ordered the crew before tho masts fell to wait for them, hut two did not do so: the chief oilicer and one of the crow kipt to pieces of the decks, and drifted away. The masts fell three minutes hl’Uv the explosion. The remainder of the crew ami myself look to the masts, but found to our sorrow that wo could not get .nay from the burning ship owing to the bobsia.vs Induing ns fast, Tho heal was intense, and w e had to immerse our hocica in water, ami olden our heads. Our sniiVrings no mm can depict, all being crippled wan burns and bruises. One man with broken legs, whom we had to lash to the spars; another one leg broken ; one so much burnt that ho bad but little skin left on his body, from his waist to the top of his head, and blind; aim! nor had the skin burnt olf his legs and hack. Our position was dreadful. The ship mining head to wind, she was burning ail all. Taking the chaneo ef the, stay giving way forward, and the 1 masts drifting alongside the ship, we w expecting her to sink every minute, and taking the mast* with -her, winch was the only thing we had to .stand, or. ratiu r. sit upon. No vessel coming in shirk wo gave ourselves up for lost. About eleven r. m. the man wit b two broken legs died. The spars drifid a linle a-’m-ad fd one p.ta., which slightly j.r./icc “d us. The flame? were then one hundred' fiCti.ga. A few minutes subsequently a vessel: ’ came ill sight to leeward, hut she beat up, the'captain making the best of his way to our help. TV e were so Distressed that it was pome iimebjfc re be could discover if any of us were alive, owing to the glare <■: the (ire and intensity of the smoke. At a dl- tance of four miles he put o!T nis boats. During the time of the imnt.« coming to ns one of tbc bund men died. The fire Lad now ’ Hacked the copper. About six p.m. the boats r* ac.nd us, and we were got in, truly exhausted. We found tho vessel to be the Prussian barque: Lucy and Paul, Captain Seine!, from New York to Cork or t'amp-itth, for orders. Wo found That the c.ijtain had picked up one of the crew at 3 p.m. on a loose spar, ti e found that the chief oiflccr, who was with this man, had been drowned.

Los? by Pier or the Ship O.dekn or the Deep. —(From the Cape of Good Hope Argus, July la,)— (in the 19th ultimo, it will be remembered, the Natal. Captain A. C. Davie, left this port for Gallo' via Natal. When off .Bird Island, the same day,j she was signalled by the crew of the Queen of the! Deep, and had the good fortune to rescue them 1 and take them on to Natal, whence they arrived this morning by the Natalia",. We have seen Captain de la Pewelle, and have been requested by him to publish the followin'.- particularsl have no do no I you will kindly afford rue space in your .■•ointtiiis for c. short statement of the cirtmmstanoes under which I and my crew of thirty one men arrived in Durban on the 22nd u!t. On the 19th nil, my ship, Queen of the Deep, 12;>7 tons, seventy days from Calcutta to Liverpool, with a cargo of cotton and jute, look five in latitude 34-50 s.. lon. 2S- E. When the smoke first began to issue from the after-hold it was blowing a heavy gale from the west; it soon became so thick that it was impossible to get at anything in tho cabins, or to do inytliing but batten down the hatches and pump water down through holes in the deck. To preserve anything was impossible. We got out, tho boats, and about twenty minutes after we had .taken refuge in them the main and mizen mads felt—flic ship being chvady a mass of flames, we had nothing bin some biscuits and water, which were almost immediately spoilt by tho sea. Fortunately no lives were lost. Alter being in the boats throe days and two nights, we were thankful inr.eed to see the U. Co.’s steamer Natal approaching, and were all safe on board of her by one o’clock on Wednesday last. In half-an-hour afterwards the wind had increased so much that I am persuaded the boats must have foundered. We were treated with every kindness by Captain Davie and the officers of the Natal. The passengers by that vessel also subscribed on the spot upwards of 1115, which was handed to me, and which I have expended in purchasing clothes and other necessaries for the ci ew.
