By our shipping telegrams it will be seen that the career of the famous and talented Madame Goddard had recently all but come to a tragic conclusion. A shipwreck on the wild Australian coast, and a long winter night of iveary suspense in an open boat would be romantic enough in fiction, but must have been very stern realities to the unfortunate passengers of the Flintshire. We are happy to note that though the passengers lost all their effects, no lives were lost on this occasion. It will be observed that the noted Blondin was one of the passengers. A more terrible shipwreck, of a foreign vessel, with 320 lives, is recorded in our English telegrams.
