Halifax, Sept. 27. —The bark Lotui from Liverpool arrived at Halifax har bor on Sunday afternoon, with twelvi of the sixty seven survivors, passengeri of the steamship Austria, burnt at s« September 13th, in lat. 45 01 long. 41 30, taken from the bark Maurice on th< 14th inst. The agent of the associated press immediately boarded the Lotus, and obtained the following particulars. The following is the statement of Char tres Brews: I took passage at Southampton on the 4th in the Austria, Captain Hydtman, which left Hamburg on the 2nd inst.— We sailed at 6 P. M.; the evening being a little misty, we in consequence anch ored between the Isle of Wight and the main land, sailed again on the fol lowing morning. In weighing anchoi an unfortunate accident occurred, bj which one of the crew lost his life owing to some mismanagement the anchor ran out whirling the captair round with terrific force, hurling tin men in all directions, two were severe ly wounded and one was killed instant ly, as he never rose to the surface ol the sea, into which he fell. From tin time the ship was laid on her course, we experienced a succession of strong westerly gales. On the 12th the weath er was more favorable and on the 13th a speed of eleven knots hail been at tained, and all were in high hopes of reaching New Voik by the 18th. At a little after 2 P. M., I was on the quart er deck; I saw a dense volume of smoke hurst from the after entrance of the steerage. Some women run aft ex claiming “the ship’s on fire, what will become of us?” The ship was instantly put at half speed and continued so un til the magazine exploded ; from this I infer that the engineers were instantly suffocated. I only walked from where I was on the upper deck to the waist of the ship, where I saw flames breaking through the lights amidship. As the ship was head to the wind, the fire travelled with fearful rapidity. I then went to the man at the wheel, and told him to put the vessel with her side to the wind. He hesitated—prob ably did not understand me, as be was a native of Hamburg. I then got a Ger man gentleman to speak to him. At this time I saw some person letting down the boat on the port side of the quarter deck. What became of the boat I do not know, but think she was crushed undenthe screw. I then went to get a boat over on the starboard side of the quarter deck, but the moment we laid our hands on the ropes, there were so many people who crowded into it that we could not lift it off the blocks. We, therefore, left it for a few minutes until the people got out, when we re turned aud launched it over the side of the ship, when the people rushing into it again, it descended with great vio lence into the water, and was instantly swamped, all the people being washed out except three whoheld on to the sides. We then let down a rope and pulled up one person, who proved to be the stew ard. Another in the act of being haul ed up was strangled by the rope. The fire now came on too fiercely to attempt to get up any more from the swamped boat. All the first cabin pas sengers were on the poop, with the ex ception of a few gentlemen who must have been smothered in the smoking room. Many of the second cabin pas sengers were also on the poop, but a number of them got shut into their cabin by the fire ; some of them were pulled up through the ventilator, but tho greater number could not be extracted j The last woman who was drawn up \ said there were six already suffocated. | We now perceived that the ship bad got, her head to the wind again, so that the flames came over the quarterdeck. In consequence of the crowd I could not get to the wheel house to ascertain the reason but I was informed that the helmsman had deserted his post, and that the ves sel being left to herself, headed to the wind of her own accord. At this time the scene on the quarter deck was in describable and truly heart-rending.— Passengers were rushing frantically to and fro—husbands seeking their wives ~yeKy eK ’ n H, ‘ arc h of their husbands— j relatives looking after relatives—moth-1 ers lamenting the loss of their children : —some wholly paralyzed by fear-oth-1 ers madly crying to be saved-but a few perfectly calm and collected. The flames ! pressed so closely upon them that many ; jumped into the sea-relatives, clasped in each other s arms, leaped over and met a watery grave. Two girls, sup posed to be sisters, jumped over and sunk kissing each other. A missionary I and wife leaped into the sea toget her, I and the stewardess and the assistant Steward, arm in arm, followed. One! If — , | i,,in ————’ ———————— | Hungarian gentleman, with seven fine \ children, four of them girls, made huj j wife jump in, then blessed his six eld est children, made them jump in, one after tbo other, and followed them wUh an infant in his own arms I, about th ; s time, was standing outside the bul ! walks, holding on by the davits and ' l leaning out to avoid the flames, which were leaping towards me. I saw a swamped boat under me, spinning by a i rope still attached to the ship, and as the oars were tied in her,l thought that if I could get to her I would be enabled to save myself and some others. I let myself down by a rope passing over a man who was clinging to it, but , who refused to come with me. I took out a penknife to cut the tackle ; the large blade broke, and I then severed it : with the small blade. The ship passed ahead. As the screw approached, I found the boat drawn towards it. I tried to keep the boat off, but the screw caught and capsized her over me. I dived ? away from the ship, and came to the j i surface near a boat which was keel up wards. I got upon her, and by pressing ; on one side; with the assistance of a; s wave, she righted, but was still swamp-; i ed. The oars had been knocked out by the screw’. The only thing I could fiud j in her to paddle with was some laths ? nailed together as a sheathing for the sides. When I looked around, the ship was a quarter of a mile away from me. 5 I could see the ladies and gentlemen jumping off the poop into the water in 3 twos and threes, some of the ladies in I flames. Several hesitated to leap from r the burning ship until the last moment, . as the height was 22 feet, and were only c at length compelled to throw themselves 8 off to avoid a more painful death. In - half an hour not a soul was to be seen , on the poop, I pulled after the ship and picked up a German, who was swim - ming strongly. I got him beside me - on the boat, and we paddled after the ship, with the laths. I now saw a ves * sel under sail approaching. She reach - ed the steamer at about SP. M. We _ continued pulling towards them, and about half-past seven o’clock, after be ing five hours in the water, got within hail of the sailing vessel, which put off a boat and took us on board. She te proved to be the French bark Maurice, Captain Ernest Reneaud, of Nantes, bound from Newfoundland to the Isle lof Bourbon, with fish. She had, up to r p that time, rescued forty passengers of the burning steamer, chiefly taken off ® the bowsprit, though a few were pick ed up floating around. At about 8 o’clock one of the metallic boats came I I up with about twenty-three persons, in s eluding the first and third officers ; after „* wards three or four men were picked up ** floating on a piece of the broken boat. The second officer was taken up, having e been swimming, with nothing to float him, for six hours.—The second and third officers were severely burnt, one male passenger was burnt frightfully, aud some other male passengers slight jl y. There were but six women saved, j | lhree of whom were burnt, one in a j’ j thocking manner. >y | Captain Reneaud acted with the ut - 5; most kindness. He gave clothes, as far te as he could furnish them, to the suffer u ing passengers, and acted as nurse, doc le tor and surgeon to the burnt people, e- dressing the wounds of the females t- with a delicacy and tenderness that evinced a benevolent and amiable dis ie position. I did not see an officer of the ship during the fire, and am certain g there was not one of them or the crew t-: on the poop, except the man at the h wheel for a short time. I understand t- j that when the Captain heard of the ,fjfire, he rushed on deck without a cap, a and when he saw the flames, exclaim ed, “We are all lost.” He tried toget e out a boat, which, when let down, was e swamped, and he, whether accidentally _ jor not I do not know, fell into the sea, ] | and was soor. left far behind. The fourth y I officer was in this boat. lie cut her . j loose from the davits ; she was carried 1 1 under the screw and smashed, and seve ral in her drowned. * j Three or four men escaped on a frag fiment of the wrecked steamer, and were r | picked up by the Maurice, as before »| stated. About the same time one me .ltalic life boat was let down from the ! port bow and swamped, but afterwards got clear with about thirty three per sons in her, including the first and third . officers and several women. The men . in the boat capsized her two or tnree times in trying to clear her of water.— j ; Ten persons were thus drowned inclu- j ding some women They afterwards j bailed her out with life preservers cut . in two, and pulled for the Maurice, i having picked up two or three passen ; gers before reaching the bark. Alto . gether there were sixty-seven souls ta ken into the Maurice during the night. A Norwegian bark came up with the i steamer the next morning, and a boat was observed going around the burning ; ship. They may have picked up a few persons but only a few. The Maurice * had no communication with the Nor , wegian. At about 7 o’clock the Mau rice sailed for Fayal to deposit the res cued passengers. At about two o’clock [ the same afternoon she fell in with the hark Lotus, Capt. Trefy, of Yarmouth, , Nova Scotia, from Liverpool for Halifax. As I was anxious to get on British terri tory, Captain Trefy kindly gave me pas-1 sage. He was also anxious to take all , the American citizens, but there was i such a rush of foreigners into the boats that only one load of eleven could be got off, and even several of these were foreigners. The fire is known to have arisen from very culpable negligence of the crew. * The captain and surgeon deemed it expe dient to fumigate the ste rage with burning tar. The operation was one to be performed by the boatswain, uuder j the superintendence of the 4th officer. , I The boatswain heated the end of ji I chain to dip in tar to produce smoke.— ; j The end got too hot to hold, and he let ! iit drop upon the deck, to which it set i j fire. The tar upset, and immediately t about was in flames. A feeble at i tempt was made to extinguish it, but I i without effect, there was nothing at' hand to meet such an emergency > The rescued passengers saved nothing! . but the clothes on their backs, and even I the greater part of these were torn off . ami otherwise lost. Six hundred souls; > were supposed to be on board, including I ; many women and children. Mr. Drew is the only British subject saved. He is in the British civil service, and on his ! 1 way to British Columbia. He will pro ' ceed to Boston in the steamer Eastern 1 State on Tuesday, en route for N.

Alone on the Deep.—The Bremen ship Magdalena, at Liverpool, Eng., re cently reports having picked up a sea " man, named George Baker, in an open; j boat, and nearly exhausted, about sixty! , miles N.

MORSE'S INVIGORATING COR-1 t DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach 1 has lost the power of duly converting food into a life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single courso of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to. , I the sufferer, while his digestive organization was. ; paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the ' wholesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength and health. Tho nervous sufferer, while tormented by the ! acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreui or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter ; rors, wakened by periodical (its, threatened with ' paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that 1 terriblelassitudc which proceeds from a lack of > nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain ’ or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition > of the wonderful machinery which connects ev -3 ery member with the source of sensation, mo -5 tion and thought—derives immedi'to benefit ■ from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous organization. . „ . Females who have tried it are unanimous in ! declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that 3 i woman has ever received from the bauds oi i medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im- S mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite » While it renews the strength of the digestive powers it creates a desire for the solid material j which is to be subjected to their action. As an appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. S ir long life and the vigor necessary to its en- j joymeut are desirable, this medicine is indeed of | ' precious worth t Its beneficial effects are not confined to either i . sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing c ‘ wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn ■> man of business, the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suffering from general de 1 bility or from the weakness of a single orgaD 1 wi 11 all flud immediate and permanent relief from 1 the use of this incomparable renovator. To ■ those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard against that terrible malady. There are many . perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu -1 tion that they think themselves beyond the reach ’ of medicine. Let not even those despair. The Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re -1 ference to the causes, and will not only remove ’ the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken cou -1 8t L<SoF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush • of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ? ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de s at ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous “ uess, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe -1 males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of » the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from whatever cause arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute -5 ly inramnic. . _ . .

ALEXANDER DBAS, < j sep6-lm Tax Collector R. C. gIT Cure the Liver.--There is ; an article selling throughout the country that i has attained the widest celebrity ever known as j a remedy for Liver Complaints. We have refer I once to DR. SANFORD'S INVIGORATOR, OR LIVER REMEDY, that has performed cures al- I most too great to believe, were it not for the un doubled evidence that accompany the testimo ■ nials. It is, in truth, the greatest remedy known • for Dyspepsia, Jaundice, or a general debility 1 ,' that so often baffles the skill of our most eminent i physicians. I Dr. Sanford has been for a long time one of the eminent physicians of New York, and it is said, most of bis cases were treated with the Invigo- j ' rator with such invariable success that he has j • j been induced to offer it as a family medicine, and i ’! let the world have the benefit of his discovery. , Iftho.se who are troubled with debility, head-i ache, languor, or slow, lingering fever, wiU try , a bottle, we think they might save physicians’ ; bills, and days, perhaps years, of suffering.— i fiiFA Gi-cat Medieiue for Females.—Hundreds of stimulants have been f invented and sold, purporting to be specific in the various diseases and derangements to which > the delicate form of woman render her subject. r The result of all these stimulants has been to impart momentary activity to tho nervous system , - and false vigor to the muscles; but this relief 1 has been succeeded by a depression and pros - tration greater than before ; and tho repeated - attempts of invalids to build themselves up by i these false remedies , have finally ended in de - stroying what little vital t rgauization was left. But in using BtERHAVE’S HOLLAND BITTERS, you will find no such disastrous results. It is a purely vegetable compound, prepared on strictly - scientific principles, after the manner of the cel . ebrated Holland Professor, Bocrhave. Under f its influence, every nerve and muscle receives i } new strength and vigor, appetite aud sleep re-; . turn , and finally, perfect health.
