The following account of a dreadful scene on board ' the steamer Ta arua, from Melbourne to Ilobarton, is taken from the Tribune o the 15th Inst. “Tho steamer I ft Sandridgo Pier on Wednesday, 12th Inst., about half-past 10 o'clock, with passengers and cargo, for Hobarton and New Zealand, having also on the main deck ranged nine draft horses, conrigued to Hr. Clars m, of Now Zealand, and one

gaddlo horse belonging to a passenger. Shortly after passing through the Hoads the wind came on to blow h-ird from the south and east, and continuing in that direction with equal force almost till arrival. .Thenight before last the gale at midnight w«s at its height, the vessel pitching frightfully* and one of the gro 'ms attending to his duty well, managed to keep the horses on their feet for a couple of hours, when the 'first and largest, in the centre, fell, and commencing to struggle, soon brought the remainder to the ground, a scene of horrible confusion following, and lasting tUI the vessel re *lied nearly to the Iron i ofc. Kicking, biting, and tearing furiously amongst themselves, the shrieks and groans of the horses, and the erics of the sailors and others in charge, had a very horrifying effect on alien board. Laboring as the steamer was In the trough of a very heavy cross sea, It was found impossible to do anything to help the poor brutes, and the result was two were killed outright from kicks on the head by another animal, and the rest so frightfully maimed that they will most likely have to bo destroyed, or will die from the r injuries hero. It may be mentioned that Captain Sinclair and his officers were most zealous in their attempts to rescue the poor brutes fr m their sufferings, or at least to ameliorate them but the severity of the gale prevented their efforts being successful.” NOTICE TO M UUNERs!
