Light And Darhnessj Or Mysteries Of Life...
light and _Darhnessj or Mysteries of Life . By Mrs . Catherine Crowe , Author of "The 2 ught . side of _Mature , " & e . London Colbum . Light and Darkness , ¦ " . or Mysteries of Life , " is a collection of tales , for the most part turning upon eriminaljnrisprndence , many of which have already appeared in periodicals . Tales are amongst the most popular of reading : we can all get _ through a tale . The young , the untrained , ; or the impatient ,-to whom the length ofa novel in three volumes is a task , and who want intelligence to appreciate the art and knowledge of life * displayed in a really g ood fiction , can easily sustain their attention for a tale : the most critical gladly
turn to one when idle , or exhausted , or wearied with too much of heavy excellence . The more the length of a tale approximates _tothat ofa _noTel , tha greater variety and Bolidity it wiU have , and great ability will always do more than little . The best mode of imparting depth and matter is by making stories illustrative , substantially if not formally . National tales on this account approach more closely to the novel ; for though it is quite true that a peculiar subject argues a peculiar aptitude , whereas tales of every-day life areoften a mere succession of washy imitations , it is probable that contemporary tales would have a greater interest if they only illustrated any mode of life—had as it were a purpose .
Sirs . Crowe has attained this purpose , by mating tales of extraordinary crime , circumstantial evidence , the wrongfully condemned , narrow-escapes , with some of the other states which accident , guiltj passion , or weakness , so frequently _bring before tbe courts . As these tales are rarely of the vulgar sort of crime , they often contain within themselves something larger than a moral for felons ; wliich Mrs . Crowe , who has a taste for moralising , never omits to improve . _Ashersubiectsarealso drawn from _foreign jurisprudence , she exhibits incidentally the foreign practice , and sometimes explains its apparent anomalies . Thus , the continually recurring " extenuating circumstances " in French verdicts , is not the mere indulgence ofa morbid
sentimentalism , but a precautionary measure grounded on a former state of the law ; "When trial by jury was established during the first Eevolation , a pardon conld not be pleaded to the verdict of a jury : a new trial might he granted by a conrt of review on discovering a flaw , but if the forms were correct - sentence must be executed . The story of Lesnrques , a man who was beheaded in spite of his evident innocencej illustrates that defect in the _Revolutionary constitution , and the stafe of opinion which induces a verdict , condemnatory of the prisonerhut sparing life .
, The tales in these volumes are of varying character and varying length ; some , indeed , being alraosttoo brief forreprintingin volumes . The scenes of those which have crime in some way or other for their basis are laid on the Continent ; the few stories pfEnglish manners avoid the criminal law , hut are rather on that dark side of nature npon which Mrs : Crowe apparently likes to look . ¦ _\ - One section is devoted to foreign poisoners
ofthe present century ; a terrible subject at all times , but a crime which seems to be more widely practised in many countries ,- including our own , than Englishmen a few years since _Tvould readily have "believed . In the manufacturing districts , the habit has indeed arisen with the occasion . The burial club furnishes a motive ; the march of mind a knowledge of opium and other quiet poisons .
This scientific movement has not yet reached the boors ; in the rural districts : they * poison men as they poison rats ; giving occasion to needless suffering , and running greater risk of detection . . "Whether it be the coarse _EngHsh peasant or the better-mannered and more sentimental German woman , they both seem pretty much alike in the total want of moral intelligence and human sympathy , united with much of what is called p
_lausibility . One ofthe cases under the head of Poisoners though there was no . attempt , at poison in the - case , is that of Madame liquet , which occurred in 1699 , and is a strange example of the state of fashionable opinion in Paris at iho time . -Monsieur and Madame liquet , were of course on ill terms ; indeed , there ; was open war between them . One night M . Tiquet was shot , ; by an unseen hand , near his own door . * .
He would have been killed on the spot , were it not , as the : doctors affirmed , that his heart had so contracted on the sudden alarm , that it had not filled . its usual space ,, and the ball " had inst missed it . He was earned . into the house ; and on being asked by the police what enemy he could point to as most likely to have sought his lifef he answered , that he had no enemy but his wife . An investigation was set onfoot ,. of which she was fully aware ; But . she asserted her innocence , and refused to fly . On the contrary . she-risited and received her friends , apparently with a * mind quite disengaged ; and . when the Countess _d'Annoy observed to her that Monsieur ; Tiquet could not be sure -wbo was the assassin , she answered , that if he were sure , he would take care not to tell it .
"It is me they want to MI , " said she . She received . numerous warnings and offers of assistance , alt of which she ' _^ rejected ; and when at length she was arrested , nine days after the attempted murder , she displayed a hearty composure , that , combined -with the . insufficient evidence tbey bad ,, might-bare puzzled the authorities , had not a . certain , laguais de place , called Auguste Cate-Iain , voluntarily come for ward , and , confessed , that , three years before , he , . Moura the porter , and several others , had . been engaged by'Madame _^ fiquet to murder , her huBb ' and . \ _ The plot , failed at that time j but _-with this , indication ,, there was little difficulty in _brineing home . the . crime to
Light And Darhnessj Or Mysteries Of Life...
Madame Tiquet and Moura , who were both condemedtodie . -Monsieur "Tiquet / scarcely .: recovered from "his _woundv _proceeded to Versailles , and , with his son arid daughter , threw , himself " at the feet of Louis _Xiv _; to' beg for her life , which' being , at the instance -ofthe Archbishop , " refused-, he proceeded to request that he might be appointed heir to her _property-r-a petition *« hich seems to have afforded much diversion , to . the lively Parisians ; and the king himself , in granting'it , observed j that the second petition had effaced the merit of the first . Since , ' according to the law _iof that . period , Madame _Tiquet ' s property , was liable to confiscation , we cannot , altogether , see . the justice of the 8 tricture . . Monsieur Tiquet _was in . embarrassed circumstances '; ' and after the injury he had received was fairly entitled to such a compensation . Madame and Moura , who were both con-
The Chevalier de Mongeorge , and her own family also , made e very _, effort to obtain the commutation of her sentence , but . with equal ill success . . On being asked whether the former was privy to her guilty intent , she said , "Not for the world would I have dared to . hint' such a thing to him . I should have lost him for ever if Ihad ! ' - The publication and execution of the sentence were appointed to take , place on the same day ; and when she was conducted to the chamber of tortures ignorant of what awaited her , she inquired , " if her affair wonld soon be decided _? " * • _*¦ . Soon enough , " replied the gaoler .
And here a strange scene ensued . The judge who had read her- sentence—which was to the effect that she should lose her head'on the scaffold , after first undergoing the rack in order to force her to a confession and the betrayal of her accomplices—had formerly been her lover . Bowbeit , he had-his duty to perform ; and , , bidding her place herself on her knees-before him , he fulfilled it . Proceeding afterwards , as was then the custom , to pronounce ah exhortation , ' wherein he contrasted in the most pathetic terms her former with' her present condition— "She who was once the idol of the world around her , blest with beauty , youth , talents , rank , and affluence , now a criminaljon her way to . the , scaffold !"—he entreated her . to spend in repentance the short time that ' remained to her , and by an ample confession to relieve him from the pain of seeing her placed on the rack . '
But he was mistaken if he thought to move that iron heart . Cold , ; motionless , with an unshaken voice , and without even changing colour j she answered him— " You are right . The past and the present are strangely different ; for then you were at my feet , now I am at yours . But I have done with such recollections . So far from fearing , I desire the : moment ; that is to terminate my . wretched life , and release me from , my misfortunes . I hope to meet my death with as much firmness as I have listened to its announcement ; and be assured that neither fear nor paiii shall induce me to confess myself guilty" ofa crime wliich I have never committed . " The rack , however , soon forced her to break this resolution ; she confessed her own guilt , and that of Moura , but , as we have said before , exonerated Mongeorge .
Sever before nor since did any execution in Pans , unless it were that ofthe Iloyal Family of France , excite so extraordinary an interest . Persons even of rank and distinction rushed from air quarters into the city ; and every window on the way she was to pass , and in the Place de Greve , were let at high prices and crowded with spectators . She declared herself-penitent to her confessor ; begged pardon , of Moura , who sat in the same carriage with her ; sent her tender remembrances to her children , and a prayer to her husband that he would cherish them and forgive her . She died with an unshaken courage and
selfpossession that enchanted the Parisians ; mounting the scaffold with ? a _, light- ; step ,. contemplating , the multitude with unmoved . composure , and baring her fair neck with as much alacrity , as if it were to welcome a carcanet of jewels rather than an axe . The executioner was so amazed and confounded by the wondrous beauty of the head he was about to sever , that he was incapable -of his office , and put her to much needless , pain . Even , after death : the features remained unchanged ; . and although she was in her . forty-second year at the period of her execution , many people affirmed that she was more he ' antifnl . in death than she had been in life .
Her husband buried her with much honour ; the Chevalier de Mongeorge , _ who _, quite inconsolable , had wandered about the park at Versailles during the sad ceremony , quitted-France , and travelled for several months ; ParisianJadies sighed over the fair victim , smiled with , contempt at the name of Monsieur Tiquet , and pitying the faithful lover , " wished that Heaven had made them such a man . " The longest of the English , stories is " The Money Seekers ; " in which a selfish , weak , unstable , ! but not ill-designing lover , loses a
fortune and his unstress , through a course of idleness and extravagance , brought on by expected heirship . The elements of the story are not very new—with an Indian' uncle , the son of an old college friend , whom the nabob has never seen , and a great dislike on the part of the o'd Indian to legacy-hunters ; there are . also some improbabilities of structure ; but the p icture of tiie yielding votary of enjoyment and selfishness is true enough , and unfortunately too common .
The denouement is thus brought about Mr .. Livingstone , the nabob , is thrown into the society of Emily Derihg , the heroine , and is so struck with her , that he determines . to marry her to her lover , Gerald G-age . That weak personage , however , has already allowed _himself to he entrapped into a marriage that shall release him from his pecuniary diffic ' _ul ties ; . and when Mr . Livingstone ,. somewhat after the fashion of the stage , tells Gerald of the wealth and beauty , provided for . him , he is placed in anything but a comfortable state of mind .
Gerald ' s head seemed in a whirl ; the past , the present , the future , darted through his mindfwith the rapidity ofan electrical shock—what he was , what he might have been ; bis madness—his . stupidity—his " d—d ill luck . " His throat was parched , and his tongue clave to the roof of his mouth ; so that when -Mr . Livingstone pressed him for an answer , he could only gasp out , ' * Ifc cannot—cannot be . " " Well , " said Mr . Livingtone , " , I shall only make one effort to shake your determination , ' and that is , the sight of the lady herself ;" , and before ' theunfortunate victim could ' expostulate , the old gentleman had left the room . . 1 :
. Gerald felt disposed to rush out of the hou 30 ; but the dread of offending Mr . Livingstone , and so losing what appeared his only chance of escape from utter destitution , prevented him '; So he sat with bis eyes fixed vacantly upon the door till it opened- ; and / Mr . Livingstone , . pushing in Eraily _. j cried , " There , look at her . ; and if you don ' t like her , why I must try and get you fifty pounds a year at the India House to keep you from starving . " . The door was shut , the old man gone , and the young people in each other ' s arms in a second . Emily forgot the neglect— Gerald forgot ' the wife : young loves , past . scenes , were-alone remembered . Emily was all happiness . Gerald was in a delirium ; it was top' much for his brain ; he . pressed her convulsively to his heart , and covered her face with kisses' " Emily felt how beloved , and thought how he must have suffered ; . _ and she tried to calm him and lead him into conversation , but in vain .
Some time—they knew not how long—had passed in' these wild " transports , when the door again opened , . and Mr . ' Livingstone entered with parchments and papers in his hand . " Come ! " said he , " you have years .. of love and Iovemaking before you—this evening must be mine . It ' s long _since . I have made anybodyfhappy ; and _. now that I .. hope I have done it completely , you must come up-stairsto the drawing room , and let me enjoy the sight of my work . First , however , before we go , 1 will put this deed in . your hand Gerald—ifc is your wife's marriage , settlement of two . hundred thousand
pounds . . I have chosen to vest the property in her , * rather than in , yon , . for [ various reasons . One is , tbat I know her better , and . am attached . to her ; another , thatlam aware _^ from your own confessions , that she is better . fitted to take care of it . But a good husband need . very seldom _, complain of this sort of arrangement ; few . women : are so _. un-, < renerousasibmake ' him feel any difference ; and Tarn _stir-s Emily . Bering will not be one of them !" , ' . Emily turned a sweet smile of assurance on Gerald ; but bis lips were compressed , and his features ghastly . . :
_ . : " -Come , " continued Mr . Livingstone , "they are waiting tea for ns ; let us go up-stairs : " and he gave Emily _hiskrm . " Remember , Gerald , " said he , tapping the young man on the back , " remember , when I die she will , be ray heir . " . Silent and melancholy Gerald followed to the drawing . room , shook hands with Mr . and Mrs . Miller , took his seat , and went . through the dumb show of the tea table . Everbody was struck with his countenance ahd strange demeanour , except _Xieky , who never observed anything .- Mr . Livingstone thnn _^ f tw . thia _cndrlnn liean of loy had
crushed him for the moment . " Be will be all right to-morrow , " whispered he to Mr . Miller , but the lawyer ' s sagacity and Emily ' s affection were not so easily , satisfied . The former was completely puzzled—he began to doubt his . attachment to _£ mny ; but she , strong in her conviction from what naa passed below , was sure that , whatever it might ot _«„ _7 as no , 1 tha * that was affecting him so strangely ; and , true woman-like , she felt that any ' _" _mSilZ ° l _t- " ght and remediable . So she _hlw * J _^ smiled on him , gave him sweet _ion ? / _t , When _« " _* took their leave , and he handed her into Mr . Miller ' s carriage , she pressed

Lig Hts And Shades Of Ireland. . B Y Ase...
Lig hts and Shades of Ireland . . B y _Asenath . _•'' . _' * _NicnbisoN , Houlston . " ¦ ' Mrs . Nicholson is an American lady , who , with praiseworthy benevolence , lias'devoted herself to the task of alleviating the miseries of the Irish people , in the terrible year of the famine . She was in Ireland during the whole of that awful-period , pursuing her own course of honourable benevolence ; and ; she has stories £ 0 tell of physical sufferings equal in point of mere fact to anything in Mr ; Osborne ' s work ,- whicli we recently noticed ; ' 7
The following extract suggests a lesson to the women of more favoured classes . Mrs . Nicholson is severe on the false system of _edu- _* . cation for Irishwomen of the upper ranhs ; and the facts of her case afford a commentary oh her sarcasms which makes it difficult to resist their force ., 'See what a waste of that wealth which should have brought sustenance to many was caused by sheer ignorance on the part of those who mi ght be , ahd Ought to be _^ the lights of the people : — .
! Whenfthe famine bad actually come , arid all the countrywas aghast , when supplies from all parts were poured in , what was done with these supplies ? Why , the best that these inefficient . housekeepers could do . The rice andlndian meal , both ' . of which are . excellent articles of food ,, were cooked in such ; a manner that , in most cases , ' they were actually , unhealthy , and in all cases . unpalatable . So unused were they to the use of that common article rice , that they steeped it the night before , then poured the water off , without rubbing , and for three or four hours they boiled , stirred , and sininiered this , till it became a . wafery jelly , disgusting to the eye , and unsavoury to the taste , for theynever salted it . besides unwholesome for the stomachs of those
who had always used a dry potato : for' food . The poor complained that it made them sick ; they were accused of being . ungrateful , and sonietiriies told they should not . have any more ; and the difficulty , if possible , was increased by giving it outuncooked . For the starving ones in the towns had no fuel / and they couldnot keep up afire to ste ' wit forhours , and many of them ate it raw , which was certainly better- when they , had good teeth than cooked in an unsavoury way . But tne Indian meal ! Who shall attempt a description ofthis frightful formidable ? When it first landed , the rich , who had no occasion foi * using it , hailed it with joy , arid somef actually condescended to say , " They believed they , could eat it themselves . " But the poor , who had not yet slid
down the precipice so far as to feel that they were actually dying , could be heard in the streets and in the market-place to interrogate one another , " And have ye seen 'the yaller Indian , God save us awl ? By dad and . ' Peel ' s brimstone' has come over again , to scrape , the . maw of every divil on _us . 'L * * And the yaller Indian was " called by all mariner bf epithets , and went through all manner of ordeals but the right one ; ¦ . ; The Indian meal' by some was stirred in cold ' water with a stick , then put quite dry upon a griddle , it consequently crumbled apart , there was no turning it ; and one desponding woman came tome saying , " That the last bit of turf had died on her , and not a ha ' porth' of the yaller Indian would stop . with its comrade . " - Others made
what they called " stirabout ; " this , was done , too , by first steeping in cold water , then pouring it into a pot ; and iinmodiately ' after swelling became so thick that it ' couldnot be stirred , neither would it cook in the least . The " stirabout" then became a " _standaboutj" and the effect of eating this was all but favourable to those who . had seldom taken farinaceous food . They actually were afraid to take it in many cases , the goveriiment meal in particular , fearing that the " Ingush intinded to kill them" with the '• • tarin and scrapin ; " but when hunger had progressed a-little , these fears subsided , and they cared neither what they ate or who sent it to thein . Had the wonien" of the higher classes known how to prepare these articles in a proper " manner ,
much money- might have been saved , and many lives rescued which are' now lost . When the first clamour had-a little subsided , there followed the recipes . for cooking Indian meal . One of these , highly celebrated for a while , was from Italy , and called " Polentia , " whether spelt correctly the learned must decide , but this same-Polentia ,-would do for gentlemen and ladies too . The recipe cannot precisel y be g iven , hut enough to know that it was turned and overturned—covered and uncoveredboiled and steamed . in a pot—and then came out genteely , in a becoming shape , according to the form of the pot used . Now , this was often on the tables of the gentry , for the recipe and meal were from Italy ; the poor . would only hear of this at a distance—the : cooking they ; * could never attain . Next caine American recipes . These , with all due credence were accepted as the one thing . needful , for they possessed _ihese' redeeming qualities : —first ,
they were from America ; the land which they loved , for many of their _ " kin" were" there ; nest , that , though they thought that nobody but negroes ate it—yet negroes lived on that food , * , and " sure the Americans wouldn ' t hurt ' em . " These recipes were prepared in due form , and made up with suets _. fats , sweets , and spices , so that the Laird John Russell himself could " ate ' em . " A great and grand meeting of lords and nobility was held , called by the poor the " yaller Indian maitin ; " and a bond , fide sanction put ori to the . Indian meal cake . Here again was a difficulty—the meal was for the hungry ; where could * they produce spices , '' sweets , arid fats for such delicacies ?—and as they thought that these were necessary to make it safe , to eat , then their fears were , awakened anew , But a few , weeks adjusted all these difficulties , for-wh ' en the number of the slain had increased in every parish , all murmuring of the quality of food ceased—they suffered in uncomplairiiDg . silence . . ¦ ¦• - •/ : ¦
But if the women of Ireland have a work to do—the more incumbent on them to undertake now since it has been so long and fatally neglected—their husbands and fathers , the owners of the soil , have theirs before them also . The nature of this will he best illustrated by the example of what one honest aid well-advised landlord , Lord George Hill , has already tried and accomplished—as detailed by our American recorder of his good deeds . The consequence is , that not a single person died of famine at Gweedore ! 'It is to be hoped that , out of the many who are buying lands in Ireland under the hew' Incumbered Estates
Act , there will not be a few with the courage , capital and courtesy needed to pursue with success the example set them by Lord George ,

Olympic. A New Comedy,, In.Two Acts,, Ca...
OLYMPIC . A new comedy ,, in . two acts ,, called My Wife ' s Daughter , was produced at this theatre on Monday night . It is by . Mr . Sterling Coyne , arid is worthy of his clever and practised pen . It is , indeed , one of the pleasantest little pieces that we have seen : ahd , ' in itself as . well as its performance , 'it reminded us of the Parisian stage . ' The heroine of thispieee is a lady of forty , endowed with considerable personalattractions , and devotedly artached to a yoiiiighusbahd _/ who has married her chiefly to repair his ruined fortunes , but who has been subsequently fascinated by her really good qualities . -Not wishing her pretensions to youth to be too much ' compromised , the'lady has kept in the background _agrown-npdaughter , the offspring of a former marriage , but the * young damsel escaping
from her boarding school has sought her mother ' s _Housej-and is for a while concealed by her youthful father-in-law . This concealment leads to several misunderstandings . The . wife , knowing that somebody is hidden , but not discovering who that somebody is , concludes that her , husband is unfaithful _; the valetde-chambre thinks that he might take advantage of the young lady ' s equivocal / position by offering her his hand ; and an old friend of the family is led to believe that his own juvenile better half has paid a mysterious visit to the married Lothario .-All , these-asperities are smoothed down by the discovery that the lady ' s daughter is the person , harboured , and she is duly married off to a young gentleman , she really loves . The great purpose of the piece is the elaboration of
the wife ' s character . She is a woman of stron ? affections , and so acutely , alive to the _| difference of years between herself and her husband , that . tbe slightest circumstance easily proves a _csuiseof irritation . Such a character couldnot have been intrusted-to a more fitting artiste than Mrs ., _Stirling , whose peculiarity consists in an appreciation and aaturalrepresentation of the minutest shades of _feeling , and her delineation of that state of mind . which / is " , commonly called " thin-skinned , " is perfect . The _yalet-de-chambre _, assuming the airs of . an ; exquisite , exhibits Mr . Compton in a new position , and his vulgar arrogance and imperturbable coolness are admirably sustained . Mr .
W . Farren , in the , part ofan old mau married to a young wife , gives a ludicrous but somewhat melancholy picture of infirm' old age affecting the . vigour and vivacity of youth ; and Mr . H . Farren did justice to the character of the husband : The success of My Wife ' s Daughter was unequivocal , and the author bowed from his box in answer to the repeated demands of a crowded audience . ' A new Divertissement followed , abridged " from the celebrated Ballet of La ~ Peri _^ _-called ~ ther ~ Sultan ' s Dream , in which "the graceful dancing of '•" 'Madame Louise , and the talented Madlle .: Adele _; was rapturously and deservedly encored .

: .... . . _SADLER'S-WELLS THEATRE . - The appearance of Miss . Sarah Lyons , a young actress of considerable promise , in the character of Des * dempna , is a new" feature at this house . Miss Lyons is possessed of great personal attractions , and though she does not seem to be . yet free from , the _trarnmels of tuition , she gives evidence of earnestness arid substantial feeling rarely to be found in one so young . In the reiterated appeals to Othello in favourof Michael Oassio , her manner assumed more than ordinary art lessness , and the endearing expressions gained mu . cl ) effect fromher y ' ouihful and innocent appearance Othellofis" one of Mr . " . ' Phelps ' s best . _SHaksperiari cliaracters . He is , eminently : ah actor of feeling , and the _pjay . of the . countenance . under the influence pf . increasing-jealousy , is . a refnarkable . instance ' of his peculiarity . The 'honest indignation' and sincere grief of Emilia , ' is admirably embodied by' Miss Glynn . - - ¦• -. ' .

DRBiBFDL _"Conflaoration at Sea . —Much anxiety has been evinced , in the City during- the last few days _respecting' the loss' of ia' first-class steam-ship in the atlantic _^ ' which'is ' reported to' havo been totally destroyed by fire . The ' . . _jmilowing , detaih were furnished by Mr . Barras , captain of the William , _, from . Quebec , .. ' who ' communicated thc loss to the authorities at _Lloyd ' s . The William left Great Matis , in ; the Gulf'bf St . Lawrence , on tho 4 th ult ., and on' the' eyeiiiiig , of . the 12 th' a , largo steamer , with ' three masts , was observed in lat . 4 Gd ., 14 m . N ., Ion . d 6 d . 27 _nu W ., steering to the " north-west . 7 the mention of'tKis circumstance is the more ' necessary , in' order , that' this ship * miglit" not be confounded withthe one that ' was subsequently seenon fire , as she was _broceeduifirin ' _ouite . a different
direction . Towards ; dusk on the following . day a strong lurid glare was noticed about fifteen miles to the southward ; of their course , and Sir . Barras , concluding that itwas caused by some unfortunate ship-in flames , very" promptly' boro down towards _her , _ _withji-view-of 7 picking-up . the crew .- ' He directeda good look out tobe kept , it . being thought that those on ,, board had left _in-the boats ,: and were knocking about in , the . ocean . During the period the Willidni . ' was . making for the blazing ship , ' the wind blowln ' _gffr ' om . the N . Ef , tlie flames raged wjth terrific violence ,, ah ' dj _, to use ah . expression _ofjone of the crew , ' . ' it looked more liko a mountain of fire than a ship in flames . " The scene is described to haye _^ been oiie of awfu l grandeur , . both ; qceanfarid sky being _iilumih'dted " as far ' as'the eye couldreach _.
Iii the course of tw / b . ,, or ,, thre 6 hours ,- the . William got within a quarter of ai mile of the ,, flaming : wreck . ' She _was'enveloped-.: ih _-flames from * stem to 1 ' stern , * and from herlight' build'and a ' quaritity ' of _ironfv-bijk ' , it was ! apparent ' _tjia _^ she . was a steamer , arid that of a large . _clSss ' . ' , She' was burned within a foot of the . water'sfedge ... Mr . . Barras states .. that he saw the platform between the paddle boxes ' , tho iron stanchions / and * the davits for the stern boats , ' a rig only adopted by steiaimers ; ; _| They ha _^ a full view of the deck of the vessel ; and _riwthing could be seen of the crew or the passengers . It heingfs . upposed that they had taken to t [ ie : boats and had been picked up by one of the many vessels that take the track at this period ofthe ' year , the William / after continuing in the vicinity of the wreck , ' was held to her
course on the wind ,-a bright _light leing kept up , and a _. go _. od _joqk-, out , in . all ,. directions ... A . sail was observed -iii- the south , steering' N . W ., and it was thought she might have succeeded in getting those belonging to the steamer'on bqard . At day-break hands were sent up to look round ; bn all points tor the boats , but none _Vere to be seen . ' A craft was _noticed-in theN _. E ; steering 'W . biitnothing ' else : Mr . Bams can give no opinion as to where the unfortunate _vessel wasfrom , Or where she was bound , but he is confident she was a steamer . ' Thb spot ' of her ' | destruction was about four days' ; run from Halifax , _biit-hotbeing inthb usual course ; to that port , will account for the - _American mail not
bringing tidings of the'conflagrlition . ' ' It is , the impression of those belonging to ' the William , that the crew and the passengers * had " escaped . ' When they got deiwiito her she had apparently been 'burning sixbreight hours ; arid as thc weather had been very fair , the moon being ; up _^ tlioy concluded that all had . gdt away in thoboats , and had boon piokod up ; .
