This medicine has been , before the British public only * few years , and perhaps _intne annals of the world was never seen success equal to their progress ; t _& e _^ lr _tues of hia Medicine were at once acknowledged wherever tried , and recommendation followed recommendation . ; hundreds had soon to acknowledge that P AsVe Lwe Pius had tared tbem , and were load in their praise . The starting aeuthat were continually brought before tke . public at woe removed any prejadice which some may bave felt ; the ontieuai good which resulted from their use spread their saw for and wide , * t this _tnament there is scarcely a eonatryontheface « fthe glebe which has not heard of their benefits , and have atnght for supplies , whatever might be the -cost of transmission . The United States , Canada , India , and even-China , bar * hod immense quantities shipped to their respeebva countri's _, and with tbe same result as in England—Uhivebsal Goob . . The sale of Pisa ' s Lire Pills amonnts to upwards of . i 0 , _S 0 A boxes weekly , more than all other patent medicines put together . Thb simple fact needs no further comment ; t tells plainly that the pills of Old Parr is The Best Medietas in the World . The following , with many others , have been recently r ectved : — _Communicated by Mr W . WHITS , Agent for Ciren-< _ester . Gentlemen , _—Enclosed is a statement made to me in parson , by a female who requests that her case maybe made known , that others similarly afflicted may receive benefit as she has done , through the use of Pass ' s _Lifx Pius . 'I had been afflicted with a severe weakness , so much as to ultimately prevent me walking across the floor of the house . I applied to a medical man fur his advice , but his skill proved to be all in vain . At last I was recommended by a person who had taken Pass ' s Life Pius to give them a trial . I did so , and before I took the whole of the first box , found myself greatly improved ; I continned the use of them for six weeks , and am now stronger and feel better than I have been for years past ; and while I live I shall bless the name of yoa and your Pass ' s Life Pius . ' By applying to me , I bave the liberty to refer any one to her at her residence . I remain , Gentleman , your obedient servant , W .

      vailed in High-street , Shoreditcb , owing to an explosion on the premises of Mr Spurway , an oilman , & c . With the greatest difficulty the family effected an escape , and the fire spread most furiously , threatening destruction to a great extent . However , but little time passed before several of ( he A and B engines of the brigade from several stations , with those of the West of England and County , were set to work , throwing torrents of water on the burning mass of the shop . The fire was at length subdued , hut not a vestige of property on the lower part of the premises was saved . This loss will be covered hy insurance in the Sun and Imperial Offices . This , together with others , amounted to eleven fires in the metropolis within six hours . No personal _acftdent fortunately occurred to either of them .

      _QBEAT LOSS OF LIFE . Tho _Livexpool _Mehcom of the 25 th * ult ., contains tho following particulars of this deplorable catastrophe : Tho splendid America ** ship , Ocean Monarch , of i 860 tons burden , belonging to Train ' s lino of Boston packets , which left the Mersey early yesterday morning , _insp _' endld trim , with about 860 persons on beard , including the crew and _em'gfants , i * nov , a floating hulk / burnt to the water ' s edge , an ) , it is melancholy _ to add , that , as near as can be calculated , abcut 100 of the passengers are lost , i

      Mr Littledale , who Is the commodore ef the Royal Mersey Tacht Club , had been at Beaumaris regatta , which took , place on Monday last , and he was returning in his yacht to Liverpool , with a party of friends . About twelve o ' clock , _whsn near the Great Ormshead , they observe _^ the Ocean Monarch about five or sis miles to the eastward of tbe Ormshead , ia Abergele Bay , between the Ormshead and Abergele . Mr Littledale and his " friends were admiring the beanty of the splendid ship as she was pursuing her coarse to tbe Atlantic . Oa a sodden the Ocean Monarch was observed to put up her helm , as if returning to Liverpool . A flag of distress was im .

      mediately hoisted , and in a few seconds _flimes were observed to bunt out shaft . The _Bhip was lying sight in the course of tbe yacht , and Mr Littledale immediately bore away for her . On _nearing her , although thera was > stiff brecu blowing , with a heavy swell , tbe boat of the yacht was lowered , and proceeded te the ship , for the purpose of rendering what assistance she could , Of course , with the swell ou it would have been next to certain destruction to the yacht bad she been run along _, side the ship , bat tbe exertions of Mr _Littledale were of the noblest description , and he has the satisfaction of kaowing that he has been the mesas of rescuing thirtytwo persons from a watery grave .

      The flames were bursting with immense fury from tbe stern and centre of the vessel . So great waB the beat in these parts tbat tho _passengers , mole end female , men , women , and children , crowded to tbe fore part ef the vessel . Their piercing heart-rending shrieks for aid were carried by tbe breeze across the blue waters . In their maddened despair women jumped overboard with their offspring in tbeir arms , and sunk to rise : no _. more . Men followed their _wjyes In frenzy and were lost . Groups of men women , and children alse _precipitated themselves into tbe water , in the vaio hope of _self . prejservatlon , bat tbe waters closed over many of them for ever . No pea can describe tbis _awfulscene ,, The flames continued to rage with increased fury . In a fow n _inutes

      the _mlzenmast went overboard—a few minutes more , and the mainmast shared tbe same fate . There yet re . mained the foremast . As tbe fire was making its way to the fore part of the vessel , the passengers and crew of course crowded still farther _forward . Tothej'bboom they clang in clusters as thick as thty could pack—even one lying over another . At length the foremast , went overboard , snapping the fastenings of the _jibboom , which , with its load of human being * , dropped Into the water , amidst tbe most heartrending screams , both ef those on board and those who were falling into the water . Some of the poor creatures were enabled again to reach the vessel , others floated away on spars , bat many met with a watery grave .

      Tbe fire broke out about twelve o ' clock . Captain Murdoch received tbe first _inttmetion from the steward , who said there was a great deal of beat coming up the ventilator . He added ( what afterwards proved to be tbe faoi ) tbat he believed one of the passengers bad made a fire In a wooden ventilator on the third deck , which ran through the captain ' s state rcom . The man had mistaken the ventilator for a chimney . The captain imme diately gave orders for the extinguishing of the fire , hat it was , alas ! too late . These who have seen the fittingsup of the passengers' bettbs of an emigrant ship are aware that they are made ef thin dealt and spars , easily Ignited ; aad fire having once gained tbe mastery ibere is _llttla chance ot extinguishing it , The captain

      attempted to put the ship up te Ihe wind , so as to keep , if _possible , the fire abaft , bnt ho found he could not accomplish this , and he immediately let go tbe two anchors . From the great consternation in which the passengers were , of course , alloontrol over them was gone . The captain threw overboard to the poor fellows in the water all tbe moveable spars be could find , and afterwards flung a spar into tbe water and followed It . Several persons followed him , and _se'zed hold of the same soar . He _entreated some of tbem to let go or all wonld perish , and he showed them tbe example by swimming to a plank , by which be was enabled to _sastaln himself for about twenty minutes in tbe water , when he wa * picked up by tbe yacht .

      In about ah hour and a half after the yacht reached the vessel , the BrezUian steam frigate Affonso , wbich was oot on a trial trip , came up . She anchored immediately to windward , and close to the burning vessel . She got a rope made fast to tbe Ocean Monarch , end by the use of the said rope , her boats wire enabled to go backwards and forwards to the burning vessel with great facility , and by this mesas a large number of persons were saved . The Prince cf Wales , steamer , which was on her passage hence to Bangor , came np shortly afterwards , and , with tbe New World , packet-ship , bound for New York , sent boats to the rescue of tbe passen . gers , and were the means of saving a large number . The following are the names of the persons rescued by the Queen of the Ocean : —

She was in a state of greet distress at the fate of her poor cbl'dren , who were all lost . On reading the Mersey , arrangements w < re made for _sccommodatiog those who were friendless and _ptnnjltss at the workhouse _, for the night .

      We understand that , as soon as the alarm was given , tbe two boats belonging to the ship were lowered . The mate , with some of the crew and passengers , got into one , A portion of thn crew an ! passengers got into the other , and they setoff for Liverpool . They were , however , picked npby a smack . Had they made ti Mr _LUtiedaVs yacht , placed their living freight ' on board oi her , and _returned again to the vessel , the loss of life woald probably b tre been much leti . The stewardess lost ber life in courageously attempting t » get the powder cut of the cabin . There were about 2 Sb « . weight on board , and when she went . 'below t » get it . it < a supposed she was suffocated . The powder eiploded with a report like tbat of a cannon , but , not beiug confined , and there being no person at that part of ths vessel , no damage , it is supposed , was done by the explosion . Ae tbe time orders were given to let go tbe anchors , a numb r of women and children wire seated in some way near the cable , and were drawn by it into the

      water . Sixteen persons arrived last night at Seacombe , having been picked np by a fishing-boat . Messrs Parry , of the hotel , treated them in s very hospitable manner . They crossed to Liverpool by the eight o'clock boat . Mr Baker , tbe celebrated comedian , was on board , and a collection was made amongst the _passeogers for the relief ef the poor sufferers , who had lost their all , and £ 2 Is ., or 2 s , 9 d . for each of the sixteen , were oolleoted and divided amongst tbem . Amongst them were six stamen . One poor Irishman and his sister were also amongst the number . Tbe sister was rescued by the brother seising her by tha hair of the head jast as she was staking .

      When they landed at _thepler-head , some of their mossmates , who had _arrived ia the yacht , greeted the new comers ia the most tender terms , and the meeting of these hudy sons of Neptune , after their'hair-breadth ' stupe , ' is described as one of the most afftotlog . Tbe men actually hugged each other in a rough but henest embrace , and tears were drawn from many of the spectators who witnessed tbe touching scene . The" men inquired eagerly after others of their comrades , and tears , both ot Joy and sorrow , ran down their _chsehs . Tbe Brazilian frigate Affonso was oat on a pleasure excursion ; she was commanded by the Marquis de Lis

      boa . There was also on board the Prince de Join-Hie , his lady and suite , tbe Dake and Duchess d'Aumale , the Brazilian Minister , the Chevalier de Llsboa , Admiral Grenfell and daughters , and other distinguished individuals ; When the _Affrnso discovered the Ocean Monaroh , four beats were at onoe lowered , and were soon followed by the large paddle-box boat . Tbe Marqals de Llsboa jumped into one , and _Aimtral Grenfell lnt 9 the other , and were untiring in their exertions to save the poor pe _« ple . The Prince do Jolaville stripped bis coat , and was particularly assiduous in assisting the passengers en board the frigate .

      The passengers brought up their boxes from below , and broke them open on the deck . They took out all that was _valoable in the shape of mouey or other articles of value , but the _canfuslou was so great tha _' t a quantity of gold and silver was thrown about the deck . Jos hua Wilson lost Ms wife and child . They were lowered towards the boat by a rope but tho poor wo man could not retain her hold , and she wiih tbe child were carried away . Oae person on board lost £ 800 and his wife and child . Amongst tbose saved were El ward _Janes , lost his wife Mary and £ 60 in money ; John Bell , a turner lost bis wife and £ 80- bis wife had a lover watch on her person ; Mrs S sle ( James Sale , her husband , Sarah 8 ale , her only child , and Samuel P . Sale , her brother , were lost ); Jane and Elizabeth Murphy , of KUlarney ; John and Mary Wartrorton ; George Jones and Theodosia Jones from Bilston ; Andrew _Oulton _. from Dublin .

      D _mlel Leary , about twelve years of age , and his sister , aboat seven or eight years were In the frigate , They wise quite naked when taken on beard , Mrs Ssle Is much contused . She wsi brought en shore _tbisraornlnj , with all the others , from the frigate , inolailng the man with broken leg , Mrs Granfell has taken charge of a poor child for whom no claimant has been found .

      that a boy , and girl , _uaolalmed , are still on board the frigate . . fi ; _A-noble fellow , a foreigner , whose nam ? we could not ascertain , went to the wreck wbsn there was Uttle hops of saving any more , and stuck to the bull of the _vessle till every soul bad left her . It is said this praiseworthy individual , by his own band , lowered 100 persons to the boats below . . On landing , tte passengers presented a sad and pit ! _, able spectacle . Many of the men and women were al . most in a state of nudity . Seme of them had their heads bandaged , and some their arms , legs , and other parts ot their bodies , bound op , having been injured by their cor . tnoc with spars in the water , by knocking against the boats , and In other ways . Tbere Is every reason to fear that the number loBt will be about 100 .

      The following persons are In the Northern Hospital : — Anna Roper ( besides other injuries ) , contused leg , very badlj bruised , aud child . This woman took her child In hrr arms , _stlzsd hold of a rope , and jumped owr . board from the vessel . She held on by the rope till the boat came to her rescue . Mfcbael Gleeson , in addition to other Injuries , very severe hoeratlon in the band . His brother unlnjure '' , Is also in the hospital . Margaret Kershaw with the child ; she is nearly drowned , aad is suffering from immersion In the water . Several persons were taken to the Birkenhead hospital . Michael Gleeson states that there were several persons on board tbe Affonso wltb their arms and legs fractured , besides being otherwise Injured . A steamer came to the side and took three surgeons on board the Affonso , : o attend to those cases which oould not ba removed , One poor man received a oompound fraoture of tbe leg .

      AU the sufferers , the greater portion of whom were emigrants from tbe south of Ireland , bave lost their luggage , clothes , ' and everything which they _possessed . Many of tbem when landed were nearly naked . ( From ihe second edition of tbe Liverpool Mereury . ) When the vessel lank there was so one on board of ber . Mr J . F . _Froes , the Erpzilian consul , with all the officers on board the Affonso , gave up tbeir clothes to tbe poor creatures . We have been informed by one of the passengers , that a poor woman , on board the Ocean Monarch , in a state of _freazy _, cut _tur threat , and then jumped overboard _.

      Tho following is a correct statement of the numberof the crew and passengers , as obtained from tbe obltf mate , and whioh may be relied upon ,: —Ths crew , in . c ' lading tbe captain , consisted of 48 persons ; cabin passengers , 9 ; seeond . oablu passengers , 17 ; steerage pas . sengers , 889 ; total , 889 . 200 ' persons arrived here last night , and 20 were taken by the Prince of Wales , steamer , to Bangor . This makes a total of 229 saved ; to that about 170 persons musthave been lost . ' With _respeot to th « conduct of tbe captain od the occasion , we last night beard many reports ef a very dls . _tressiog character , and we _abstained from giving cur .

      reney to them ; but further inquiry this morning only confirms what we heard last night , AU wt < h wh'tn we bave conversed describe his conduct as' most unseamanlike and cowardly . If half of what we hare h > ad be true , a most searching Inquiry should be made Into his conduct , many lives having been sacrificed in _oonseqnenco of his leaving tbe ship , instead of remaialag with his crew to endeavour to save the lives , of those wbo bad been entrusted to bis oare . He is spoken of in terms ol tbe deepest reprobation , and ono of the pas . sengers declared te our reporter tbis morning , tbat his cpnduct was such , that if he hod had a pistol be wonld have shot him through tbe head .

      Another of the persons saved sayB tbat the fire first proceeded from tbe spirit store . The alarm was given about a quarter to eleven , cad smoke camo at that time from tho store room hatchway . Somo water was thrown upon It , but shortly afterwards all tbe passengers left the cabin , as it was impossible to stay tbere . There was a very strong smell , and a vapour whleh appeared to proceed from burning liquors . About half an hour after the alarm was given , a . boat was lowered , and several persons—whether of the crew or otherwise is not known —went In it , Tho captain hft about that lime , and was aot seen afterwards . The anchors were thrown about tbe time ho left . Two of the ship ' s beats wero burned .

      as tha crew h _> d gone away , aud there was no one to get them oat ; In faot , as our _informaat states , there was no one to give anj directions or to manage the ship . Wo have heard that the _statement as to fire being first seen In the cabin where the steerage psssergers were Is _insorreot , as there was no smoke at all from that part of the _veiscl j the fire came in thd first instance from near the steering wheel , where tbe store rsora is situate . Mr and Mrs Dow , of Glasgow , had a most miraculous escape . Tbey were for nearly two hours on pieces of timber under the bow of tbe vessel , and were several times driven fiom thelt _position by the force of the waves , but regained it . They were _ultimately taken on beard one oi the _Affonso _' s boats .

      The vessel was tbe property of Messrs Enoch Train and Co ., of Bostou , and was fully insured . Her cargo con . _slsted of 700 tons of iron , a large quantity of salt , and some dry goods . We learn that , in addition to tho number stated , there were sixteen persons picked up by a smack . A bag belonging to a _eaWapa ' _sseBger named _Jamti K , Fellows , of Lowell , Massachusetts , was tbrawn overboard daring the burning of tie ship , and was seen to float for a considerable _dlstono * . No doubt the bag will be pioked up , and its valuable _coatents restored to tbe unfortunate owner . FDBTBEX PAETICOUB 8 . —THE BDBOIOX _' S _STATSHINT

      ( From the Daily News ) Mr Ellis , surgeon on board the Ooean Monarch , _spstks particularly as to the condaot of the captain . He acquits him altogether of the culpability which hat b « noh »? g » l

      _agaiast him by a contemporary . Is his opinion tho captain and mate did all that it . was possible tor men to do under the oircamstaneas . > He _stu ' ok to tbe ship until tbo fragments of : be _blailngmaiumsstwcra falling uhout him :, he did net leave until it was an " impossibility any longer to stand the heat between the two fires rating fare and aft . _, He bad great _liiffisolty , in faot , in saving his own life ait the inst , and he certainly saved tho lives of others In his Instructions to these who hesitated to throw themselves into tUe water , and there trust ta the spars . Mr Ellis was picked up by a pilot boat out of one of _tb « Ocean Monarch ' s boat * ( the mate ' s ) , almost swamping at tbe time with , heavy seas ' , and was afterwards _placed on board a Wexford smack , the Q / ieen .

      Mr Ellis states that the fire first _appeared ia the cabin , and he therefore questions the statement that it was occasioned by the carele ' ssnabs ol an emigrant in the steerage , Mr Ellis was sitting in the rabin , _reaoiag , at twelve o ' clock In the day , when the seoond steward rushed iu and said that tbe ship wa « on fire . A lady , named Aadren-, waa in the cabin , also reading , at the came time . He believes that this unfortunato Udy , with her daughter , a child nine years old , have been lost . Mr Andrews , the husband of tbis lady , has beea larei . At the time the fire broko out a great number of the omi . grants were lying , sea sick , in their berths , and he attributes the subsequent _eonfusloa to the alarm produced by these running naked ou deck . In this way many of tho children wtra lost , Tbe tug-boot , which took them oat of the river , bad not lefc them half au bour when the first smoke was seen ; had she stayed a little while longer wltb them every human _beieg would have been saved .

      MAUAIIVES OF TUB _PASSENOEKB , Samuel Moody , one of the crew , states that in fifteen minutes after tbe fire was reported it was burning rlgbt through tbe deck and cabins , and the flames so rapidly spread that Wm . Walker , the man at the wheel , was compelled precipitately to abandon bis post . The confusion and noise were terrlfio , and Moody himself , in tbe general terror , leaped overboard , and swam to tbe boat which the yaobt had jast pat oat ; He afterwards returned on board of the ill-fated vessel , sod assisted till he was of no farther ass . He adds his belief tost if the passengers had compiled with tbe captain * * wish , and remained calm and quiet , scarcely a single life would have been sacrlfi _; ed .

      Tho Prince of Wales , steamer , arrived at Liverpool shortly after fire o ' clcck on Satardny afternoon The gallant captain , who stood on tbe paddle-box , was bailed with a round of hearty and spontaneous cheering , a gratifying and becoming tribute to tbe exertions of bim . self and orew . It was found that the great majority whom the vessel had b-en the means of saving had been handed on board the Brszillan frigate , Ths num . ber en board the Prince of Wales was nineteen . The poor creatures were huddled together for warmth in . the engine-room . Tbey spoke In high terms of the kindness with which _tbey bad been treatei oa board tha Prince of Wales . One of tbe party had been picked up floating on

      a spir , nearly three miles from tbe scene of tbe disaster . S . Fielding , of Glossop , another of her passengers , _wbb the very last picked from the burning wreck . He Is an aged man , and seeing no hope of safety ho took op tbe girl Roper in bis arms , and lodged near the bow of tbe vessel , awaited bU fate . After dreadful suspense , tbo brare Jerome , wham so many tongues bave blessed , came to his deliverance , and lowered him , with the child In hit arms ; Into a boat below . The old man's hands were seriously burnt . At sn early _etsge of tbe calamity the clothes of some of tbe females took fire , and tbe poororeatures ran madly amongst thoir unhappy comrades , huddled together near tbo bow .

      On Friday evening , we ( the _Liveipoci Jooekal ) vhited Rogent street and the other streets at the north end of tbe town , where tbe unfortunate survivors have taken up their t .-mporary residence , Ntver did we nit . ness such tqaalld masses of human beings as these suiv ! . _vors present . Most of them are women , some with burns on their necks and should * rs , produced by the blazing masts and spars , and others wltb black eyes and contused wounds upon varioas parts of their per . sons , caused by _frtquent surges oa the tops of the waves _asalnst _broktn spars and the bull of the burning wreck _. We conversed with a young , unmarried woman , from the county Leitrlm _, who was almost dead when brought on board tho Alfonso , and certainly her account of her miraculous _reecus is most surprising . She stated to us

      tbat long alter tbe fire bad broken out somebody on deck—she thinks a female—tumbled htr overboard , probably thinking that _desth by drowning _woull be a far _preferable death for her tban death by burning ; bnt more probable still , the action wot prompted by those maddening , and almost inexplicable , feelings by which persons in sight of dreadful and impending ruin are agitated _. The _yiuag woman , however , after plunging into fie water , wbb borne upon the tops of the waves . She 8 eemi to have floated . Sometimes she was _asoenilng _, and at others descending . At length she caught hold o ( a han _<) . It w ; _s the hand of a dying woman . They

      seized each other with a sort of death-grasp , and for some time it was a kind of struggle with them as to who should bo the conqueror or last survivor of tbe two . The dying woman , however , wbo had been shattered about tho head , fr « m having been ' no doubt frequently dtiven against tbe bull of the burning _vessel , breathed bar last , Her head sank , but ber body floa _' ed en the water . Our female informant held _» on by tbat dead body , and was absolutely saved by it . It bore her up for a considerable length of tlmo , until at length she was taken on board tha AI oaso , wbere sbe was put into a watm bed , aud had brandy and other rutoratlves ad . ministered to her .

      The survivors of the wreck having lost everything ' but _thslr lives , huaumlty Is already active in providing the means ef alleviating their _distress .. A subscription list was opened on Saturday , io the _Exchange-rooms . Los or the Pbince of Wales . — The following is the report of tbe log of Cape . Daci , commander of the Prince of Wales steamer , bound to _Binger , August M , 1848 : — ; When outside tbe light-ship I discovered a ship en fire , bearing about N . W . 12 miles . I Immediately hauled up for her , and ordered one of the boats to be got ready . In going along I discovered a boat with four bands in it . I took her in tow , and in a short time after I saw a man fi atlng on part of the wreck , I sent the boat to pick him up , and got bim oh board . At this time there was a great deal of the wreck floating aboat . I lowered the boat , and stnt Mt Batty , tbe mate , and three hands , to ne If the } could pick up any one alive . As Mr Batty was getting Into the boat ho _discovered the body of a

      child not quite dead , but too far gone to recover . I then proceeded to the sbip on fire , and got three more passengers that were floating . When I came up to tbe ship she was in one flame fere and aft . I did not think it prudent to go alongside of her , but I came to anohor close ahead of ber : at this time tbe wind was increasing and a heavy sea running , and so much of the wreck was hanging about the vessel that tbo boats oould not op . _prosoh her with safely . I then got tha passengers to assist iu we ' ghlng my anchor , and then returned to pick np my own boat . I then returaed to the ship , aad saw from twenty to thirty people under the bowsprit of the ship . I came to anchor close on her starboard bow , got lines attaobed to the boats , and saved every one that was en tbo wreck . At this trying moment Mr Batty was of the greatest _servloe to me , as _weie also all the othr hands , who cheerfully and willingly assisted in saving all they could , —G .

Allow me to state , in » few words , what I know to be true _regerdlrg this gentleman . Tbe reports to bis prejudioe have been wioked and malicious in the extreme , I was one of the last on tbe quarter , deck with Captain Murdoch , Throughout this fearful affair he _displayed the greatest courage , ooolnes _* , and preset ce of mind , He was deserted by tbe greater part of bis seamen , and was rnly assisted by two or three of tbe passengers in the execution of his orders . I was , as I stated , amongst the last , if not the last , near the captain . The flames were

      raging fearfully In the vicinity of tbe mainmast . Communication was in a few seconds cut off from the fore part of the sbip , and U was only when hemmed in and expoied to tbe most feaful ( i deaths—that of fire—that Captain Murdoch took to the water , I should Bay be was the last man to leave that part of the sbip , and when ho did leave It be ceuld not have reached the forecastle had be wished it , I preceded him but a few seconds , and leaped into the se » from the bowsprit rigging , having myself been obliged to climb alongside the vessel ' s bulwarks . These facts I can attest and swear fo . _Yonrs _, tie ,, Whx & toh _Buistow , passenger in the Ocean Monarch . —The above is a true statement ; John Obangb , passenger .

      _INQUESTS . Oa Tuesday an inquest was held on the bodies of five of the unfortunate sufferers by the destruction of this vassal , before Mr . Curry , tha coroner . James Chein _, _Caarles D .

In other respects their evidence did not supply any material facts to the _smplo _information already gives , Tbe subscription in aid of the sufferers by the burning of tbe Ooean Monarch amount to £ 1 , 750 .

      An inquest oa the body of the female child , noma unknown , landed from the Prince if Wales , steamer , was held on Friday morning , at tbe Packet . house , Menni . bridge , before tho coroner for Anglesey , who took the depositions of four or five of the passengers _rescued from the HI fated vessel , tbe Ocean Monarch , All spoke to the breaking out of tbe fire , Its rapid progress , and _deBtrustlvo iff cts _, bat none oould speak as to hew it originated .

      STOCKING . MAKING IN THE UNITED 8 TATE 3 . Tbe following is from a letter , published , in the _TXot . tingbam Review . Gerroanstown , N . America , July 2 , 18 i & . I » is very necessary that the workmen ef the old corm . try should be made acquainted with the true state of things here . It Is atterly deplorable to bear the lamentation of a many ; they have been led te believe tbat tbey have only to be landed safe on shore for plenty and prosperity to smile upon tbem ; bat believe me , deer sir , diSculties hero are more numerous than many arewilling to suppose . T can cosily _acoouat for men look ' ing to this country with minds full of hope and _expectation ; neglected and oppressed at home , everything * around tbem ( except tbe bounties of nature , which ap--pear in abundanoe ) Ur jbade a still gloomier future ; tbs mind , _seartd by disappointment , naturally looks to America as tbe land of promise .

      Should you think well to cause thia to be published , I hare no doubt many will _s-iy {( is too gloomy an ac . oount for America ; to such I have to say , I am sorry I cannot send , In accordance with ( ruth , something to cbeer those wbo w . ' ch to leave their native land because they cannot get an ho < est living by their industry . Many erroneous opinions exist with respect to the price of provisions io tbis locality , _flauje-rent U much higher than in Nottingham . Groceries are tenper cent , cheaper . The idea of cheap _provisoes bas originated by their being very low out west . Two dollars and a half is paid for board here ; out west it is not more than ono . bslf tbat amount .

      Detr sir , if I succeed in _disabling the minds of some of my old friends , I shall not have laboured in vain . I do not contend that we are no betttr lemnnarated here ; I freely admit tbat those in wark can do better tban in England ; but tbe time it not far distant when a portion of those employed In manufactures will have to move to some locality , and cultivate tbat land ; tbe Improvements in machinery will _compel tbem , however reluctant , to change their occupation . The far wrst appears to mo to be the only place for the population that already crowd tbe large towns and cities . There the soil is productive in tbe extreme ; the railing prairies decked with nature ' s richest fragrant fi _iwcrs ; the forest pine rearing his stately form pointing to the bright clear sky above ; rivulets , brooks , and ibices , abounding with finny tribes * , the wild deer hounding over hill and daleall inviting man to come and parti k _) of _na'ure ' _s abundance io store for him .

      DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT OVER DARWEN _. — TWELVE LIVES LOST . Oa Wednesday week , at about a quarter past threeo ' clock in tha ctoratog , aa accident occurred at Over Darwen , by the bursting of a water lodge , situated a short distance to tbe west of the town , wbich was attended by the most awful consequences , ni less than twelve lives having been lost ; many of the _anfortunat ) parties having been drowned in tbeir sleep . The facts of this _melancholy occurrence arc as follows : — The lodge in question is the property of _Eoclee Sbor _* rotk , Eiq ., _oiBirwcn _, and was constructed about four years since ; At the time , _abwe stated , Darwen was visited by a terrific storm of rain , thunder , and _lightening , the water falling from the clou-la as if in a solid b idy . The hilt sides round the High Lum Quarry and the Lodge caught tho descending torrent , and poured it

      into both , filling the quarry and the lodge simultaneously , and , as it would seem , in lees than ten minutes _. The water from the quarry rushed into the lodge , and the Immense weight of water thus brought to bear upon the embankment on the lowest or town side , swept it away , and the water fell with tremvndoas force down a steep of from twenty to fall forty feet , carrying away ft mass of earth , stene , and sand about sixty feet across , eighty feet long , and from forty feet deep . The torrent then rushed along the bed of tbe stream , which generally carried off the surplus water from the by-wash , And rase to a height of at Uaat _teu feat , carrying away hedges , trees , large stones , side banks , and all such temporary impediments in its course , and covering places before bigb above the stream , and green with grass , te the dep'h of several feet with the gravel , stones , < fco ,, usually found in tbe bed of a river .

      Oa reaching the mouth ef the culvert tbe swollen torrent of water rushed through and over it with Irresistible force , filling tho lower stories of the _adjoining houses _. The fall of wst « r bere would ba frora thirty to forty feet . The lower floor of the first bouse being rather high , wss covered to a depth of about thirty inches only . But ia the second bouse , occupied by John Tarncr and bis family , the water rose to a height of five feet , Tbe torrent rushed enwards till It came full on the tide of ft house at the ( nd of Back Water street , _oscapled by Gao . Cooper and his family , and which stood on the edge of the usual stream . The flood passed right through Cooper ' s hsuse . In a boats adjoining , ocoapied by Jos . Oarkbsm , a man was nearly drowned , the fbod having overtaken him in bed , almost before he could escape .

      A remarkable _escapa of a child occurred in Waterstreet . A man , named Thomas Kng , had b _; en sittingup , ho aroused a mother atd daughter , who were sleeping up stairs ; a child , who hai followed tbem down was canght by the water , carried oat at the door ,. 4 owa Water-street and Bury . street , to opposite th _> Angel Ian , in M . irket-stree * , a dtstance of nearly a hundred yards ; and it was snatched up by a person just as . it was passing down to the culvert underground .

      his wife , Mary Anne Kaowles , Vaolr eon , R . _Kaowles _, aged five years , and R . Howarth , a single man . When the flood came down Water-street into Bary _s rect i it not only fillet all the cellars in the latter , but rose three and a half feet above the level of the street . Escape at such an htur for those who were sleeping at tbo time in tbe cellars , was hopeless ; Bnd though the shrieks of the unfortunate people could be heard as thoy were awakened by the water pouring int . upon them , tbe unfortunate Inmates were drowned , except one , tbe y 6 _uog man , Lassey ; who having got upon a table , kept bis _f _« _ca against the roof , and was dragged _through the window , vsh ' ch was Broken out to get at him .

Of these , M ' . r ; Sbaw , tbe mother , Alice Shaw , and Mary Shaw , the infant , were drowned ; the r < _- _» were saved . After _leaving Bury . street , tbe flood turned down Mar . ke _' _-street , on the _oppaslte side of which , a cellar was occupied by a widow named Alee Nixon and her two ehil _iren . Wncn the water filled the'cellar the mother _seiz . _'d the children , but before iho could escape one named Cirhtopher , aged three years , waa drowned .
