The passengers were landed safely. Foundering of the George H. Peak. —The Newcastle Pilot states that the barque Sierra Nevada arrived in port on the 11th July, with the shipwrecked crew of the George H. Peake on board, and brought the first intelligence of the foundering of the last-named vessel at sea. The particulars of the disaster are detailed in the subjoined report, which has been furnished from a reliable source. From this it will seem that a collision took place between the Sierra Nevada and George H. Pcake, and the latter almmost instantly sank. The brig G. li. Peake, Captain Pye, 268 tons register, left the port on Friday, at 4.30 p.m., bound for Melbourne, with 403 tons coal, with a moderate westerly wind ; at 2.30 a.m. on the 11th July, when five miles south-east of Bird Island, and about twenty miles south of Newcastle, the weather then'being fine, but hazy, a large vessel hove in sight, about three-quarters of a mile off. under full sale, and and' appeared to be bearing down on the brig. She was seen before the lights could be distinguishedThe second mate of the brig was on the watch, and the brig was steering the regular course, the wind being west. As soon as he saw that a collision was inevitable, he at once called the captain ; the brig's course was altered as much as time would allow, to keep clear, and the larger vessel, which proved to be the barque Sierra Nevada, was hailed to keep away, without avail, for in a few seconds she struck the brig on the starboard gangway, and the brig sank almost immediately. The shock was so sudden that time could not be measured from the time she was first struck to the time she went down. The captain and seven of the crew managed to get into the boats, but three of the crew fell into the sea, and were with some difficulty rescued. Captain Pye endeavored to reach his cabin to save the ship's papers, &c, but the water rushing in he could not do so. As soon as the deck of the barque was reached the crew were mustered, and it was found that none were missing. Captain Pye had his lights burning, and he states that the barque had also its lights burning. The captain and crew lost everything belonging to them in the shape of clothes, the former losing also his chronometer, charts and papers.
