      IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING From Mr Edward Page , Director of the Choir and Organist of St Peter ' s Catholic Church , Leamington : — Gentlemen , — Having frequently suffered much from relaxation of the throat , I have often been obliged to resort to various preparations ; but since Ihave had the good fortune to try Dr Locock ' s Pulmonic Wafers , I am now but seldom obliged to resort to them , ' for the extraordinary good effects they have produced are moBt surprising . Even when the throat appears to ; be completely exhausted and the . voice to be nearly gone , two or three ( at most four ) will , in the short space of half an hcur or so , completely restore its flexibility and power , and they do not act as a mere temporary exciting remedy , nor do they leave any lassitude after . Having feli the great value of tbe remedy , I feel it a duty to generally recommend it , as I am convinced that all persons will find Immense benefit from the general and persevering use of it , and I shall be happy to . answer any inquiries I am , gentlemen , jours , ic , Edivabd Page , Royal Leamington Spa .

With * he greatest difficulty the family effected an escape , and tbe fire spread most furiously , tbreateningdestruction to a great extent . How ever , but little time pa ; Bed before several of the A and B engines of the brigade from several stations , with those of tbe West of England and County , were set to work , throwing torrents of water on tbe burning mass of the shop . The fire was at length subdued , but not a vestige of property on the lower part-of the premises was saved . This loss will be covered by insurance in the Sun and Imperial Offices . This , together with others , - amounted to , eleven fires in the metropolis within six hours . No personal ac-• ident fortunatel- occurred to either of them .

      QBEAT LOSS OF LIFE . Tfao Liverpool Hebodet of tbo 25 th ult ., contains tho following partloulajs of this deplorable catastrophe : Tho splendid American ship , Ocean Monarch , of I 860 torsi burden , belonging to train ' s line of Boston packets , whioh loft the Mrracy early yesterday morning , in splendid trim , with about 360 persons on board , including the crew and em grs . nts , is now a floating hulk , burnt to the water ' s edge , an 4 , it is melanohol ; to add , that , as near as can to calculated , about 100 of the passengers are lost . ¦

      Mr Llttledale , who is the commodore ; of the Ri'jal Mersey Yaoht Club , had been at Beaumaris regatta , which took place on Monday last , and be . was returning in bis yacht to Liverpool , with a party of friends . About twelve o ' olook , when near the Great Ormshead , they observed the Ocean Monarch about fir * or six miles to the eastward of the Ormshead , in Ahergele Bay , between tho Ormshead and . Abergele . Mr LUtledale and his frleads were admiring tho beauty of the splendid ship ad she was pursuing her courBB to the Atlantic . Oa a sudden the Ocean Monaroh was observed to put up her helm , as if returning to Liverpool . A flag of distress was im .

      mediately hoisttd , and in a fewiseoonds flimes were observed to burst out abuft . The ship was lying right in the coune of the jaoht , and Mr LUtledale immediately bore away for her . On nearlng her , altht-ugh there was a Btiff breczs hlowlrg , with a heaty swell , the boat of the yacht was lowered , and prpceedtdto the ship , for the purpose of rendering what assistance she could . Of 'course , with the swell on , it would have been next to ! certain destruction to the yacht bad she been ran along-| side the ship , bat the exertions of Mr LUtledale were of the hobleBt description , and ho has ( he satisfaction of knowing that he has been the means of reeculn- thirty . ' two persons from a watery grave .

      The flames were bursting with immense fury from the stern and centre of the vessel . So great was the heat in tbeBe parts that vhe paaaiBgets , male and female , men , women , and children , crowded to the fore part ef tho vessel . Their piercing heart-rending shrieks for aid were carried by the brefze across the blue waters . In their maddened despair women jumped overboard with their offspring in their arms , and sunk to rls £ no more . Men followed their wives In frenzy and 'were . lost . Groups of men , women , and children also precipitated themselves into the water , In- the vain hope of self-preservation , -but the waters dosed over many of them for ever . No pea can describe this awful scese . The flames continued to rage with Increased fuiy . In a few ninutes

      the mlzenmast went overboard—a few minutes more , and the mainmast shared the same fate . There yet re . . mained the foremast . As the fi-e was making its way to the fore pait of iho vtssrl , the pasHrngerB and crew of icourso cronded still further forward Tothejibboom > th > y eiung in clusters as ibkk as tUy could pack—even one I ) in ? over another . At length tho . foremast went ove bo-rJ , snapping the fajtcciniis of the jibboom , , which , with its load uf ham an being " , dr-pped Into the i » i » t . t , amidst tho uioBt beartrei ding screams , both ef i those on b aid and thosi who were fulling Into the water . i Soifc of the poor cnatutei were enatled again to reach the viasrl , others floated away oh spars , but many met : with a watery grave .

      . The fire broke out about twelve o ' clock . Captain Murdoch received the first intimation from the steward , who said , there was a great deal of heat coming , op the ventilator . He added ( wfeat afterwards proved to be tbe fact ) tliat be believed one of the passengers-had . mado a fire in a wooden ventilator on the third deck , which ran through the captain ' s : state rcom . ' The man had mis * taken the vsntilator for a chimney . The captain imme dlately gave orders for the extinguishing of tbe fire , but it was alas ! too late . These who have seen the fittings , up of the passengers' berths of an emigrant ship are aware that they are made of thin dealt and spars , easily Ignited ; aad fire having once gained the mastery there irlittU . chance of extinguishing it . The oaptata ,

      attempted to put the ship up te the wind , so as to . keep , if passible , tho fire abaft ; but he found he oonld not ac > compll ' sh this , and be immediately let go the two anchors From tbe great oensternation . in which the passengers were , of coutae , all oontrol over them was gone . The captain threw overboard to the poor fallows in tho water all . the move / able spars he could find , and afterwards flung a spar , into the water and followed It . Several persons followed him , and seized . hold of tho ' same soar ¦ He entreated some of them to let go or ell would perish , and he showed them the example by swimming to a plank , by ' which he was enabled to sustain himself for about twenty minutes in the water , when he wa » picked up by the yacht .

      In about an hour and a half after the yacht reached the vessel , the B « zllian steam-frigate Alfonso , which was out on a trial trip , csme up . She anchored immediately , to windward , and close to the burning ' vessel . She got a rope made fast to the Ocean Monarch , and by the use of the sold rope , her boata were enabled to go backwards and forwards to the burning vessel with great facility , and by this means a large nnmbtr of persons were saved . Tbe Prince of Wales , ateamtr , which was on her passage hence to Bangor , came up shortly afterwards , and , with the New World , packet-ship , bound for New York , sent boats to the rescue of the . passengers , and were tbe means of saving a large number . The following are the names of tho persona rescued by tho Queen of the Ocean : —

      We understand that , as soon as the alarm was given , the two beats belonging to the ship were lowered . The mate , with some of tbe crew and passengers , got into one . A portion of tho crew . an 1 passengers got into the other , and they set off for Liverpool . They -were , however , picked up b a smack , Itsd they made ta Mr Litt : eaa ! b ' syaoht , placed their living freight onboard of herj ' and returned again to * the 'Vessel , the * loss of life would probably have been much less . ; V . \ The stewardess lost her life in courageously attempt .

It is said this praiseworthy Individual , by his own hand , lowered 100 persons to tbe boats below . " > On landing , tbe passengers presented a sad and p ' . tlable Bpectaole . ' Many' of the men and womtn were almost in a state Of nudity . Same of them had their heads bandaged , and some their arms , legs , and other parts of their bodies , bound up , having been Injured by their coatact with spars iu the water , 'b y knocking against tho boats , and in . other wayB . Tbere is every reason to fear that the number loBt will be about 100 .

      Tbe following persons are in theNorthern Hospital : — Anna Roper ( besides other Injuries ) , contused leg , very badly bruised , aad child . This woman took her child in her arms , seized bold of a rope , ' and jumped overboard from the vcsiel . Sho held on by the rope till the boat como to her rescue . Michael GUeson , in addition to other injuries , very savero hceratlon In the hand . His brother nnlnjurc' , Is alto in tbe kospiial , Margaret Kershaw with the child ; she 1 b nearly drowned , and is suffering frtfm Immersion in the water . Several persons were taken to the Blrkenhead hospital , Michael GlecSon states that there were several per . sons en board the Affomo with their arms and legs fractured , betides being otherwise ir jared . A steamer came to the side and took three surgeons on board the Affoneo , to attend to those cases which could not be removed , One poor man received a compound fracture of the leg .

      Ail tbe sufferers , the greater pertlon of whom were emigrants , from tbe south of Ireland , have lost their luggage , clothtB , hnd everything which they possessed . Many of them when landed were nearly naked , ( From the eecond edition of tho Liverpool Mercury . ) When the vessel sank there was no one on board of her . Mr J . F . Froes , the Brazilian consnl , with all the officers on board the Affonso , gave up their clothes to the poor creatures , ' We have been informed by one of the passengers , that a poor woman , on board the Ocean Monarch , in a state of freEzy , cat her throat , and then jumped overboard .

      The following is a correct statement of the number of the crew and . passengers , as obtained from tbe chkf mate , and which amy be relied upon : —The crew , Including the captaiD , consisted of 43 persons ; CBbin passengers , ?; seeond-oabln passenger * , 17 ; steerage passengers , 330 ; total , 339 . 200 Iperaons , 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 pertons must have been . lost . With respect to the conduct of the captain on the oooaaioa , wo lnst . n ' ght heard . many . reports of a very . dis . ' tressing character , and : we abstained from , glving '

      ourreney to them ; but further . inquiry , this , morning only confirms what we heard last night . All with whom we have conversed describe bis conduct as most unBeamanlike and cowardly . / If half of what we have h ad be true , a most searching inqnlry should be made into his conduot , many Jives having been sacrificed in consequence of hip leaving the ship , instead ' of remaining with his crew to endeavour to save the lives of those who had been entrusted to bis oaro . He is spoken of In terms of the deepest reprobation , and one ef the passengers declared to our reporter this morning , that his conduct was such , that if he had had a pistol he would have shot him through the head .

      Another of the persons , saved says that the . fire first proceeded fiom the spirit store . The alarm was given abost a quarter to eleven , and smoke . came at that time from the store room hatch way . Some water was thrown upon It , but shortly afterwards all tbe passengers left the cabin , as it was impossible to stay there ; There was a very strong smell , and a vapour wblsh appeared to proceed from burning liquors . About half an hoar after the alarm was given , ' a boat was lowered , and several pf rsoDB—wlether of the crew or otherwise is not known —went in it . The captain left about that time , snd was net seen afterwards . The anchors were thrown about tbe time he left . Two of the ship ' s beats were burned

      as the orew h id gone away , and there was no one to get them out ; in fuct . ua our informant states , there was no one to give rmj directions or to manage the ship . We have heard that the statement as to fire being first seen in the cabin where the steerage passecgers were is incorrect , as there was no smoke at all from that part of the vetsel ; the fire , came in the- first instance from netr the steering wheel , where the atore room is situate . Mr and Mrs Dow , of Glasgow , had a most' miraculous escBpe ; They were for . nearly two hours on pieces of timber undtr the bow of tbe vessel , and . were several times drlrea from their , position by tbe force of the waves , but regained it . They were ultimately taken on beard one of tbe Affomo ' a boats .

      The vessel was the property of Messrs Enoch Train and Co ,, of Boston . t and was fully Insured . Her cargo con . sisted of 700 tons of iron , a large , quantity of salt , and some dry goods .. . We learn that , In addition to the number stated , there were sixteen perse n * picked up by a smack . A bag belonging to a eabUpasseBger named James K , Fellows , of Lewell , Massachusetts , was tbrwm over , board during the buraing of fee ship , and was acento float for a oonelderable distance . No doubt tbe bag will be picked up , and its valuable contents rtBtored to the ur . fortunate owner .

      against him by a . ] contemporary , ' la his opinion the captain and mate did all that it waB posilble for men to do under the olrcumstamsBB . He Btuok to tho ship until the fragments cf tbe blazingmaiumas * were falllog about him : he did net leave until it wbb an impossibility nny tonger to stand the heat between the two fires raging fow ami aft . He had great dlffioulty , in fact , In aaving Wb own life at the last , and he certainly saved the lives of others In his Instructions to these who hesitated to throw themseives Into tbe water , and there trust to the spars . Mr Ellis w « a pioked up by a pilot boat out of one of the Ocean Monaroh ' s boat ! ( the mate ' s ) , almost swamping at the time with heavy seas , and was afterwards plaoed on board a Wexfordsmack , tbe Queen .

      Mr Ellis states that tbe fire first appeared In the cabin , and he therefore questions the statement that it was oocasioned by the carelessness of an emigrant in the steerage . Mr Ellis was sitting In the sabin , reading , at twelve o'clock in the day , When the second steward rushed in and taid that the ihip was on fire . A lady , named Aadrews , was in the cabin , also reading , at the same time . Hebellevos that this unfortunate lady , with her daughter , a child nine years old , have been lost . Mr Andrews , tha husband of this lady , has been saves . At the time the fire broke oat a great number of the emi . grants were lying , sea sick , In their berths , and he attributeB tbe subsequent eonfuslon to the alarm produced by these running naked on deok , In this way many of the ohlldren wera lost . The tug-boat , which took them out of fte river , bad not left them half an hour when the first smoke was seen ; had she stayed a little while longer with them every human belBg would have been Saved .

      HAE 1 ATIVK 8 OF THE FA 98 EN QE& 9 , S » muel Moody , one of the crew , states that in fifteen mlnuteB after the fire wai reported it waB burning right through the deck and cabins , and tho flames so rapidly spread that Wm , Walker , the man at tbe wheel , was compelled precipitately to abandon his post . The confusion and noise were terrjfie , and Moody himself , in the general terror , leaped overboard , and swam to the boat which the yaoht had just pat out ; He afterwards returned on board of the ill-fated vessel , and assisted till he was of go farther use , He adds his belief that if the passengers bad oomplied with tbe ceptala ' a wish , and remained calm and quiet , soarcelya single life would have been sacrificed .

      The Prince ef Walos , steamer , arrived at Liverpool shortly after five o'clock on Saturday afternoon . The gallant captain , who Btood on the paddle-box , was hailed with a round of hearty and spontaneous cheering , a gratifying and becoming tribute to the exertions of himself and orew . It was found that the great majority wbom ; tbe vessel bad b « en the meana of saving had been handed on baard the Brazilian frigate , The number tin board the Prlnoe of Wales was nineteen . The poor creatures were huddled together for warmth In the engine-room , They spoke in high terms of the kindness with which they had bean treated on board the Prince of Wales . One of the party had been picked up floating on

      a spar , nearly three tdIUb frem the scene of the disaster . 3 . Fielding , of Glossop , another of her passengers , was the very last picked from the burning wreck . He is an aged man , and seeing no hope of safety he took up the girl Roper in bis arms , and lodged near the bow of the vessel , awaited bis fate . After dreadful Buspfwte , the brave Jerome , whem so many tongues haio blessed , oame to bis deliverance ,. and lowered him , with the child in hii arms ,, into a boat below . The old man ' s hands were seriously burnt . At an early stage of the calamity tho clothes of some of , the females took fire , and tbe poor creatures ran madly amongst thalr unhappy comrades , huddled . together near the bow .

      On Friday evening , wo ( the Livebpooi , Jocbhal ) visited Regent street and the other streets at the north end of the town , wh ^ re tae unfortunate survivors have taken up their temporary residence . < Ntver ' did wen It . ness snoh iqualld misses pf human beings as these sutv ! . vors present . Most of them are women , some with burns on tbelr necks and shoulders , produced by tbe bl 8 zlag masts Bnd ( pars , and others with black eyes and contused wounds upon various parts - of their per . sons oaused byfrequent surges oh the topB of the waves against brok » n spars and the hull of the burning wreck . We conversed with a young unmarried woman , from the county Leitrlm , . who was almoat dead when brought on board the Alfonso , and certalBlj her acbount of her miracnlouB rescue Ib most surprising . Sho stated to us

      tbat , long after the fire had broken out somebody on deck—she thinks a female— -tumbled hir overboard , probably thinking that death by drowning would be a far preferable death . for her than death by burning ; but more probable , still , . the action was prompted by those maddening , and almost inexplicable , feelings by which persons in sight of dreadful and impending rain ore agitated . The ysuag woman , however , after plunging into the , water , was borne upon the tops of the waves . She seems to have floated . Sometimes she was ascending , and at others descending . At length Bho caught hold of ahaBd ; It waB the-band of a dying woman , Tbey

      selzjd each other with a sort of . death . grasp , and for some timo it was a kind of straggle with them as to who should be the conqueror or last survivor of the two . Tbe dying woman , however , who had been shattered about / tbo head , frem having been ' no doubt . frequently dtlven against tbe ball of the burning vessel , breathed her last . Her head sank , but her body floated en the water . - Our female informent held on by tbat dead body , and was absolutely saved by It , It bore her up for a considerable length ef time , until at length she was taken on board the Al ' oaso , where efce was put into a warm bed , and had brandy and other restoratives ad . ministered to her .

When I came up to tbe ship she was in one flame fere and aft . I did not think it prudent to go alongsido of her , but I oame to anchor close ahead of her : at this time tbe wind was increasing and a heavy tea running , and so much of the wreck was hanging , about the vessel that the boata could not sp . proaoh her with safely . I then got the passengers to assist in weighing my anchor , and then returned to pick up my own boat . - I then returned , to the ship , and saw from twenty to thirty people under the bowsprit of the ship , I came to anchor close on her starboard bow , got lines attaohed to the boats , and saved every one that was on the wreck .

      DREADEUL ACCIDENT AT OVER DARWEN — TWELVE LIVES LOST . On Wednesday week , at about a quarter paat three o ' clock in the morning , an accident occurred at Over Darwen , by the bursting of a water lodge , situated a short distanoe to the west of the toffB , which waa attended by the moBt awful consequenoeB , ne less than twelve lives having been lost ; many of the unfortunats parties having been drowned in their sleep . The facts of this melancholy occurrence are as follows : — The lodge in question is the property of Eocles SboN rock , Eiq ., ofDirwen , and was constructed about four years sinoe ; At the time , above stated , Darwen waa visited by « terrific storm of rain , thunder , and light , aing ; the water falling from the clouds as if in a solid body . The hill sides round the Hi gh Lum Quarry and the Lodge caught the descending torrent , and poured it

      into botb , filling the quarry and the lodge timultane . ously , ani , as it would aeem in loss than ten minutes . The water front the quarry rushed into the lodge , and the immense weight of water thus brought to bear upoa the embankment on the lowest or town side , swept it away , and the water fell with tremendous force down a a : eep of from twenty to fall forty feet , carrying away a mass of earth , stone , and sand about Bixty feet across , eighty ftet long , and from forty feet deep . The torrent then rushed along the bed of the stream , which gene . rally carried off tho surplus water from the by . wash , and rese to b height of at least ten feet , carrying away hedgeB , trees , large atones , side banks , and all sach tecs . porary impediments in its course , and covering places before high above the stream , and green with grass , ta the dep ' . h of several feet with the gravel , stones , &o ., usually found in the bed of a river .

      On reaching tho month of the culvert the swollen tor . rent of water rushed through and over it with Irresistible force , filling the lower Btorles of the adjoining houses , The fall of water here would be from thirty to forty feet . tbe lower floor of the first house being rather high , was covered to a , depth of about thirty inches only . But in the second house , occupied by John Turner and his family , the water rose to a height of five feet . Tbe torrent rushed onwards till it came full on the tide of a house at the end of Back Water-street , occupied by Geo . Cooper and bis family , and which stood on the edge o < tbe usual stream . The flood passed right through Cooper ' s house . In a house adjoining , occupied by Jos , Carkhara , a man was nearly drowned , the flood having overtaken him in bed , almost before be could escape .

      A remarkable escape of a child occurred in Water , street . A man , named Thomas King , had baen sitting up , ho aroused a mother atd daughter , who were Bleeping up siairs ; a child , who had followed them down was caught b y the water , carried out at the door , down Water . street and Bory . street , to oppoBlte thi Angel Inn , in Market-stree * . a dtetance of nearly a hua . dred yards ; and it was snatched up by a parson just us it was passing down to the onlvert underground . In three cellars unier a house occupied by Christopher Bibby , shesmaker , residing in Bury . atreet , lived John Laasey , Deborah LasBey , bis wife , their son , Jobn LaBsey , a young man about twenty . one years of age , R . Kuowlei , his wife , Mary Anne Knowies , their son R . Kaowles , aged five years and R . Howartb / a single man . When the flood came down Water-atreet into Bury a'reet , it not only filled all the cellars ' in the latter , but rose three and a half feet above the level of the

      street . Escape at auoh an hcur for those who were sleeping at the time in the cellars , was hoptless ; and though the shrieks of the unfortunate people could be heard as they were awakened by the water pouring ia upon them , the unfortunate inmates were drowned , exoept one , the yeung man , Lassey ; who having got upon a table , kept his face against the roof , aad was dragged through the window , * h ! ch was broken out to get at him , la another oellar in the same street , under a house occupied byMiohael Shorroek , a shoemaker , lived Esther Green , a widow , and her four children , Junes aged 17 , Alice aged H , Ann aged 13 , and William aged 11 years ; Ral ph Shaw and Mary Shaw , aged about 40 , his wife , and their five children , Robert , aged 21 , Jobn , aged 17 , William , Alice , tged 14 , and Mary , an infant , aged twelve mentha . Of these , Mary Shaw , the mother , Alice Shaw , and Mary Shaw , the Infant , were drowned ; thereat were saved .

      After leaving Bnry . etreet , the flood turned down M » rke ' -street , on the oppsalte side of whloh , a cellar wa » ocoupled by a widow named Alice Nixon and her two shildren . When the water filled the cellar the mother seizad the children , but before she could escape one named Christopher , aged three years , was drowned . Next io the Blaek Bull , Market . street , and under » hop In whlon lives a person named Downing , tailor , » oellar was occupied by HenryBary , a fishmonger , hi » wife , and three children ; Like the Teat , they were all asleep when the flood pemed into the back pait of the cellar through an openlrg ; In Bnry . atrett . The father heard the noise and awakened bis wife , anfl they w « e enabled to drag their two-younger children , aged respsc * tirely six and four years , toadivlalon of tho o « llar where the flooring-was Mgbsr than that part in whloh they alept and fcoldthwa above the rising water ; but *« y oould render no assistance ta a daughter named Alice Jan « , ag '; d 14 , who slept la a reoei * , and ahe was oaiortUBB ' . ely drowned
