The captain and four of the crew were drowned. The captain's wife aud five of the crew were saved. The s.s. Lord of the Isles arrived at Melbourne/from London, on the 13th February, via the Cape of Good Hope, after a very eventful passage. We gather from the Aigus that* "she left Plymouth on November 30th, and immediately fell in with exceptionally wild weather, and encountered a succession of fearfully heavy gales from S.W., with a tremendous sea. This weather lasted all across the Bay of Biscay, aud on December 4th r while battling against the elements, the steamer was struck by a sea of overwhelming magnitude, which swept away deck-house and bridge, steering gear, binnacles, aud one quarter boat, besides staving in two other boats. Captain Cowie, with his third officer, boatswain, and some of the crew, were sent flying before the avalanche of water, and were^U more or less injured. Wheu the sea had passed over, the wounded were all laid together on the deck in a stunned condition, and the spot had all the appearance of a shambles, blood running freely in the scupers.
