The Arctic— Further Details.
Below will be found tbe statements of Mr-
Burns, a messenger of Adams & Co.’s Express,
who was saved in one of the boats picked up by
the Huron , —and Mr. Baahlam, second officer, of l
the unfortunate vessel.
Ihe steamship Arctic, with 226 passengers,
exclusive of children, 175 employees, a valuable
cargo, and heavy mail, is lost. Os the more than
four hundred persons who left Liverpool on the
20th ult., full of hope, gaiety r.nd health, many
returning from an European tour of pleasure only
thirty-two are known to have been saved, and j
certainly not more than one hundred can, by any
possibility, have escaped a watery grave.
In addition to all this, another large steamer, i
freighted with hundreds of human beings, has in
all probability, met a like fate. The details of
the horrible disaster are as follows :
On Wednes le}|-September 27, precisely at 12 j
o’clock, M., in a dense fog , we c me in contact
with a barque-rigged iron propeller, with black
hull, salmon-colored bottom, lead-colored poop
and boats, and black pipe. She was bound East
ward, and had all sail set, with a strong, fair
wind. The speed of tbe Arctic at the time was
about thirteen knots an hour. The shock to us
appeared slight, but the damage to the other ves
sel was frightful. Capt. Luce instantly ordered
the quarter boats cleared away, and tbe chief i
jgjjjjnate. boatswain and three sailors went to her
relief; before other boats left, the order was
countermanded. The Arctic then described a
circle twice round the wreck, during which time
I caught a glimpse of moie than two hundred
people clustered on her hurricane deck.
At this junction it was first ascertained that
vre had sustained injury, and the water was
in at our bows. When the first officer
came along side to report, the captain was una
ble to take him up, but headed N. N. W. in the
hope of making land. Our position on the pre
vious day. at 12 o’clock, was latitude 48 39, lon- !
gitude 45 27. We had run about three hundred !
end ten miles (tom the time of this observation
/until the moment of collision, and were supposed !
'to be forty miles from Cape Race. The pumps
were worked, and an anchor chain
was thrown overboard ; but in spite of all exer
tion, the engines stopped, and the water extin
guished the fires. Four ot the five other life
boats, believed to have been well provisioned,
contamed the engineeis, sailors,a few passengeis,
and ail the officers except the captain and third
mate, leit the ship at an early stage. The ma
jority of the passengers were working at the
pumps-—some firing the signal guns, and others
launching spars, under the direction of Captain
Luce and Air Dorian, the third mate, to form a
raft. *
In order to facilitate this latter woik, the sixth
and last boat was lowered. Dorian, one or two
firemen, three of the other passengers saved and
myself, were busily engaged in lashing water
casks and settees to the main yard, two top-gal-
Lnt yards, and several smaller spars—the captain
with,* number of gentlemen, protecting the work
by)** e pmo back the crowd—when a panic seized
board, a rush was made, passenger's and
Ij.. JBreroen precipitated themselves headlong over
I the bulwarks on to the raft, and in a moment our
W little boat was full and in imminent danger of
being sunk. In this emergency, Dorian ordered
the rope wtiieh held us to the steamer to be cut,
and with our hands and axes we paddled from
the raft’s side. Toe mate, who throughout pre
served great presence of mind and labored w ith
heroic energy, cried out—“ For God’s sake, cap
tain, clear the raft, so that we can work. I
wou’t desert the ship while there’s a timber
above water.’’
But the sea was now flush w-ith the dead
lights. Iq less than three minutes from the
time he spoke, tbe stern 6unk—the foam went
boiling over the tumbling heap of human be
ings—many were dashed forward against the
pipe. 1 heard one wild yell, (still ringing in my
ears) and saw the Aictic and the struggling mass
rapidly engulphed. Numbers yet clung
imperiectly constructed raft; but, alas, we could
|k render them no aid. Our own situation was no
.less precarious; an I cruel as it seemed, we were
lorced to abandon them to fate. Heaven forbid
■lbat I should ever witness such another scene.
W», however picked up two more men, and
then, with an overloaded boat, without food or
drink, avoiding with difficulty the fragments of
-toe wreck, and passing many dead females, pre
pared for a night upon the ocean. We secured
a floating pumpkin and cabbage to guard against
immediate starvation, lashed a spar to tbe prow,
ot our boat to keep her head to the wind and
sea, and thus drifted until day-light; the night
was cold and foggy, with a heavy swell, and, in
drenched and half-naked condition,
** we suffered terribly. f .
■without dwelling upon the miseries, allevia
ted much by the consciousness, that we had eu
£g|oHfevoured to d y our duty to our feliow rnen,
suffice it to say that at five o’clock on the after
§! noon of the 28th, we espied a sail, and raised a
to attract attention. We were
h successful. With the rude substitute for oars
which we had constructed during the day by
lashing planks to capstan bars, with a view of
attempting to gain land w-hen the sea subsided,
we pulled toward the ship. On our way we
passed the remnant of the raft, with one man
£ on it, (Peter McCabe, waiter,) apparently
alive.
The fiarque proved to be the Huron, of St.
Andrews, W. 8., Capt. A. Wall, bound for Que
beck. Our men safe on board, the noble-heart
ed Dorain, with some of the Huron’s crew, re
turned to the raft, and rescued the poor fellow
who for twenty-six heurs had clung to the
spars. He states that after the steam-ship
sunk, he counted seventy-two men and four
women on the raft, but at 8J o’clock he was the
only one alive. In the morning two bodies
were beside him, much eaten by the fishes, and
at the time he saw our boat he w r as on the point
of voluntarily droping into the sea to end his
agony. Coming from the raft, Dorain encoun
tered and examined the life car-of the Arctic.
It contained a bottle of water, some cheesse and
a lady’s garment.
By the humane captain of the Huron, and
Mr. Wellington Cameron, a son of the owner,
we were received with great kindness, our
wounds were dressed, fires were kindled, and
food and clothing were provided in abundance.
During the night of the 28tn, Captain Wait
hung out extra lights, fired rockets, and kept a
horn blowing, in hopes of flailing in with the
remainder of the boats. But bis endeavors
were fruitless. On the evening of the 29th he
•poke the ship Lebanon, Captain Story, bound
for New York, by whom eighteen of our num
ber were taken off, kindiy welcomed and well
treated. We have this moment reached New
York, by pilot boat Christian Berg, No. 16, to
which we were transferred from the Lebanon
andtothecrew of which wewereunder great
obligations.^
Tbe fate of the propeller and our five boats is
unknown. * * * * *
Mr. Biahum's Statement While running
in a very thick fog, the Arctic was struck cn the
starboard bow, about 60 feet abaft the cutwater,
by an iron steamer, w’bicb made three large holes
jn the ship, two below the water, one of which
was about five feet and a half long, and twelve
or eighteen inches wide, the whole cutwater and
stem of the iron steamer having passed through
the Arctic's side
So dense was the fog that the vessel could not
be seen a minute before the collision. The wheel
was put hard to starboard. The engine wa9 stop
ped instantly and backed at full speed, until clear
of the other steamer, which occupied a couple of
minutes: The French steamer seen.ed to be
sinking bow first.
Capt. Luce immediately gave orders to clear
away the quarter boats, which was done, and Mr.
Gourley, cnief otfi :er, left the Arctic in charge of
the starboard boat. On lowering the port boat
the captain exclaimed, “ Hoist up that boat again,
Mr. Baahlam,” and beckoned me to go to him.
Upon doing so, he ordered me to go over the bow
to ascertain, if possible, what damage had been
done. I then found the holes above mentioned.
Upon informing him ot the facts, he gave orders
to’get sails up and try and get them round the
bow to endeavor to stop the leak, which was
jwomptly done, but to no advantage whatever, so
much of the bow and iron broken off from the
other steamer projecting that the sails could not
be brought close to the vessel’s side.
Ibe carpenter was then lowered,over the ves
sel s side and pillows, and mattresses passed
down to him to try it possible to force them in,
but the leak was found to be so far below the
water line that this could not be done, and every
exertion to stop the leak proved unavailing.
Capt. Luce then ordered the ship’s head to be
kept for land, which bore N. W. by W. By this
time we had lost sight of the chief officer’s boat
and the other steamer, which we supposed had
sunk. -
We had not been on our course more than four
or five minutes before we ran over a boat and
crew belonging to the other vessel, all of whom
perished, with the exception ot one who caught j
hold of a rope hanging over the bow. Directly
the boat was seen, orders were given to stop the !
engine, which the chief engineer said could not j
be done, as the ship was fast sinking.
In about thirty minutes all the lower tires
were out, and there was at least three feet of
water in tbe ship, fore and aft. By this time the
contusiqsi among the passengers was very great, |
but they used all efforts to assist the crew in
keeping the deck pumps going, and in lightening
the ship forward for the purpose of endeavoring
to get at the leak from the inside, which was
found to be useless. Numbers of them crowded
into the boats which were still hanging to the
davits. j
In forty-five minutes after the ci llision. I came
up from the fore hold and informed the captain j
that the water was on the level with a lower j
deck beams, and that it was impossible to get at
the leak. I then asked him what he thought :
would be the fate ot the ship, when he stated !
his belief to me, that there was no hope
of saving,her. He then told me to see to my
boats.
On going to the port side, I found them com- ;
, pletely filled with men, women and children, j
and no possibility of getting near them. I im- |
■ mediately went to the starboard side and order
ed two of the crew to lower the guard boat, and I
asked the captain what were his intensions.— ’
He replied that “ the ships fate should be his.”
: I then asked him would he not allow his son to
| go, as I intend to take a boat, but he returned
me the answer, that 1 ‘ he should share his
I fate.”
It was soon discovered that there was no hope
of saving the Arctic, and tbe lady, daughter and i
son of Mr. E. K. Collins, with several ladies,
were put on board a boat, in lowering which :
one of the tackels gave way, and all except, one
lady, who clung to the sailor hold ng last to the
boat, were precipitated into the sea and lost.
I then jumped into a boat and was ordered by
the captain to cutaway the tackle falls and drop
under the stern. I did so, and at the same time
| about twenty persons, I suppose, jumped over
-1 board, of whom seventeen or eighteen were
J picked up. We fell in with another boat, j
which had been lowered from the other side,
and lightened her of part of her complement,
leaving nineteen in her and twenty-six in our j
own boat.
i The last sight we had of the ship her yards
were level with the water, and the surface ot j
! the sea was strewn with human beings, who |
; had jumped or fallen overboard, to whom j
| however, it was impossible to render any assis- !
j tance, and we soon lost sight of ail, as the log ;
; continued to be very dense. I then asked tr.e
boat’s crew were they willing to be governed
by me, which was unanimously assented to,
and I was put in complete command of both
boats.
We were then about sixty miles S. E. of
Cape Race. Deeming it my duty to take the
nearest course, for the safety of all, after pulling
for forty hours with nothing to guide us but the \
run of the sea, which I took to be heaving from j
tbe Southward, and in a thick fog, which lasted 1
. | all the time, we reached Broad Cove, twelve j
miles North of Cape Race.
We then proceeded by land to Renews, which
we reached cn Friday last. I there obtained j
and took charge of a small schooner, which was j
hired by the pursuer and myself, and proceeded 1
immediately in search ol the wreck or the boats, j
We cruised round in a strong gale of wind from ,
the North East, but discovered no trace of the j
ship or boats. »
Tbe Arctic Catastrophe.
Furthar Particular $— Safety of the Iron Propeller. j
Further Rescues of the Arctic ’s Crew.
| Halifax, Oct. 12—We have dates from New 1
j Foundland to the 4th, which announces the ar
lival of the French screw steamer Vesta, at St. j
Johns, on the 3J mst., with her foremast and j
bows shattered to pieces, she being the vessel
that came in collision with the Arctic. She !
picked up and brought into port 31 of the Arc- |
tic’s crew.
The Vesta lost 13 of her passengers, supposed i
to be those who were run down by the Arctic in j
a small boat.
Three of the Arctic’s boats have not yet been
heard from, but being life boats, they are sup
posed to have been picked up. The vessels sent
in search returned ou the 3 J without success—
not having lound the slightest trace.
> As regular communication between this and
Newfoundland is but once a fortnight, that period
will probably elapse before we bear anything
j further with regard to those saved on board the
Vesta. It is probable, however, that the steam
er Osprey, sent to convey the passengeis of tjA,
j City of Philadelphia to Philadelphia, may
here. She was expected to leave St. John’s on
the Bth inst.
C. T. Mitchell, of Charleston, S. C., i 3 among
those saved, who left here with the others rescued
on tbe Europa.
New York, Oct. 11.—After carefully sifting
all the testimony, the agents of the Arctic en
tertain strong hopes, amounting almost to a cer
tainty, that Mrs. Collins and a lsr-e number ot
other ladies were placed on one of the boats and
safely launched under the immediate supervision
ot Capt. Luce himself, The third mate denies
the statement that they were thrown into the
sea by the breaking of the davits, but that they
were placed in a boat with abundance of pro
visions. " •
Boston, Oct. 12.—A gentleman who arrived
! here this morning on the train from New York,
states that there was a report at Fall River that
a vessel loaded with Railroad iron had arrivedjat
Warren. R. 1., with forty persons picked up from
one of the missing boats of the Arctic.
! Providence, Oct. 12.—A special messenger
from Warien, R. I, reports the arrival of the
ship Margaret, which spoke the pilot boat which
had put a pilot on board the ship Lebanon, and
hence the rumor of another boat load of the pas
i seugers of the Arctic having been saved and
i brought into that port.
New York, Oct. 15—Capt. Luce, seven pas
sengers, and five of the crew of the ill-fated
steamship Arctic, were picked up on a raft, by
the ship Cambridge, and taken to Quebec. So
far, one hundred and nineteen persons are known
to be saved.
Negroes in Canada.— The Toronto Colonist,
referring to the suggestion which has been
i thrown out by some Southern journals, fora
treaty with Great Britain, which should secure
the restoration of fugitive slaves, takes occasion
to make the following remarks on the “condition
and prospects” of this poor deluded class, whom
a ruffianly philanthropy bns torn from their!
homes, and sent to shiver and starve in the icy !
regions of the North. Tbe fugitive slaves are
already felt to Bb a nuisance in Canada, and be
fore long will be treated as such:
“But, a9. we said before, many deplore the
greatinflux of slaves into this Province* It is
stated that, during tbe last few years, not Jess
than fiom eleven to twelve thousand of them
have settled in the county of Kent alone. Mr.
Larwill represents this cofmty, which has been
more or less demoralized, or rather brutalized,
by the horrible system of slavery. Moreover,
in this same county of Kent, a large tiact of land
has been purchased for a negro settlement, por
tions of which are rented or sold to the negro;
some say the sole object of the owners of tbis
land is a philanthropise one, while others hint at
their chief motive as being a sordid love of gain.
However, Mr. Larwill appears to apprehend evii
trom such an exclusive settlement—a State with
in a State; and he is therefore desirous of check
ing negro emigration into this Province by ex
acting a pod tax from all fugitives in future, to
which end be has given notice of the following
..motion in his place in Parliament:
That this house will gladly stfow a 1 beral spirit
and friendly disposition towards the United
States for their generous conduct in legis'ating
upon this matter (reciprocity); and that in proof j
of such disposit on their part, the Provincial
Legislature will hereafter exact from negro im
migrants a poll tax ia amount to that now im
j posed upon otbsr lorsigners— will not iocorpor-
ate any association lor the special benefit of men ]
of color as a class, and will discourage the pro- I
motion of any institution the object and end
whereof be a junction with the abolitionists of
the Northern States, to bring about a severance
of the American Union.
The settlement in the county of Kent to which
we have alluded is very unpopular in that coun
ty, and perhaps Mr. Larwill, in moving the
above resolution, is only acting in conformity to
the wishes of his constituents. As for giving up
any slaves now in Canada, or that may hereafter
come into it, the thing is out of the question.
It cannot be done.

How to Become a Cadet. —From an artiicle
in Putnam’s Magazine, for August, on ‘ West
Point Cadet Life,” we quote the following :
“ How can I become a Cadet,” is a qnestion
naturally prone to arise in a young American’s
min'd*, when stirred by life and leathers. Briefly
this. For each Congerssional District one Ca
det is allowed, whose appointment is in the gilt
of the Representative to Congress from the Dis
trict. Contingencies considered, a vacancy oc
curs about once in three years for each District.
So your appointment depends first, ou there be
ing a vacancy in jour District, and secondly, on
your worthy or unworthy Member of Con
gress.
The President makes twelve appointments at
large each year, but as you value your peace of
mind, do not hope to be one of his elect. And
be not over-sanguine on any score, for it is said
that during the Mexican war he had ten
thousand applications in oneyear. Appoint
ments all come from the Secretary of War,
j to whom a formal application should be made;
; but your M. C. really selects for appointment.
Now, a far more vital question for you to con
sider i 3, are you fit to be appointed? Os nine
ty-six Caietsappointed in the class of 1840,0n
-1y twenty-five graduated, and generally from a
hall to a third of those first appointed doff' the
Cadet to don the Brevet.
TbeTsurgeou’s examination often signifies ex
eunt for a dozen neophytes, and as many moria
exhibit idiosyncracies in reading and writing,"
orthography and aiitbmatic, that the unsyrn
patnixing quietly remands them back to citizen
ship.
Then comes the January exhibition, where
algebiaic wrecks are consigned in fearful num
bers to the parental underwriters. So, too, in
June and Jannary, even to the last, the ill-bal
lasted, the weak-helmed, the mal-adapted, are
singled out from among tbeir stouter fellows,
and with stern justice are bauished from seas too
rough for them.
The martial aspirant should consider these
things before becoming a Cadet, and remember
that Cadetship is no mere holiday training, no
refined peacockism, but a four years of discip
line to body, mind and heart, severer by far
than any other educational course on land in
volves. But if a sentiment of vigorous man
hood, a courage patiently to endure present tri
! al for future good, and if an orderly zeal for in
tellectual culture and baidihood are living facts
in bis n ttnre, then I know not how a youth
can become so much a man as by a West Point
sducatioa.
