ACCIDENT TO THE MAIL STEAMER ULSTER.--As the royal mail steamer
Ulster, Captain Triphook, which left Kingstown at seven o'clock this
morning, was proceeding to Holyhead with her Majesty's mails and a
large number of passengers, her main shaft accidentally snapped across
when some two miles from the East Pier, rendering the steamer totally
unable to proceed. The Leinster, which had just arrived from
Holyhead, having landed her mails and passengers, went out to the
assistance of the Ulster, and taking on board the mails and some of the

Brazilians have decided to postpone their Paraguay campaign until
the spring. Sheep farming in Buenos Ayres was thriving and the
Sala Deristas was busy. General business was unaltered ; gold
drooping. Business in Rio was dull, but the money market was
easier. Freights to the channel, 60s.

forwarded last evening on board the Fleetwood steamer to the
manufacturers in Manchester. --Belfast News Letter.

THE REPORTED LOSS OF A FRENCH LUGGER.--The reported loss of a
French lugger, the Victorine, of Havre, noticed in the papers on
Wednesday, turns out to be a fabrication. Auguste Alexandre Vatinel,
the Frenchman who told the tale to Mr. Watson, the superintendent of
the Great Yarmouth Sailors' Home, and was admitted into that
institution on the faith of the statements which he made, has been
brought before the local magistrates on a charge of stealing a coat form
the Home, and has acknowledged that his tale about the lugger was a
fiction. He has been sent to the French gunboat Le Cuvier, now lying at
Lowestoft, to be dealt with at the captain's discretion. Vatinel was in
a very destitute condition when he was received at the Home, and he
was also somewhat bruised ; and as the weather had been very coarse,
his tale was readily believed. The coat lend him, and which he was
charged with stealing, has not been recovered ; In fact, the fellow
appears to be an ungrateful vagabond.

THE GALES.
----------
The dead bodies of nine of the crew of the brig Favourite, of
Liverpool, which was wrecked off Blackpool on Wednesday night
last, had up to Saturday afternoon been cast ashore, six at Bispham,
about three miles distant ; one at Cleveleys, about the same distance
; and two at Fleetwood, five miles off. The coast above Blackpool
for two or three miles is strewn with pieces of spars, sails, and
broken timber belonging to the wrecked vessel. About 100 barrels
of palm oil and several bags of seeds, forming part of the cargo of
the Favourite, have been washed ashore, and are now in charge of
the authorities. The inquests on the bodies of the sailors thus far
found was held on Saturday afternoon. Police-constable Robert
Smith said on Saturday he went to the sands above Blackpool and
saw four dead bodies. On the arms of one mane there were three
letters, "W. C. C." He had not been able to ascertain the names of
any of the deceased men. The captain, whose body had been
washed ashore, was a married man and the father of four children.
The Coroner in summing up the evidence said that the lifeboat crew
appeared to have done their duty, and were not to blame in the
matter. A verdict of "Accidentally drowned" was returned. The
weather has been stormy at Blackpool ever since Wednesday, and
on Saturday night a heavy sea was running.

THE STORM OF FRIDAY.
A heavy gale set in from the westward on Friday morning, and raged
with unusual violence for several hours. The lines of telegraph between
Dublin and Cork were injured, and no intelligence could be
transmitted. No casualties occurred in the Bay of Dublin, where the sea
was fearfully agitated. The English mails did not arrive until half-
past seven ; but the mail boat sustained no injury, and forced her way
through the storm gallantly. Towards evening heavy showers fell,
accompanied by fitful squalls. The pilot boats Curlew and Hawk
rescued three fishing vessels from imminent danger in the early part of
the day. We trust the Arklow Banks have not been the scene of
another casualty as complete and disastrous as that which befell the
Tenesserim [sp?].

A GALE IN THE CHANNEL.--Simultaneously with the receipt of a
telegram, directing all coast stations to hoist cone, pointed downwards,
anticipatory of a gale from the southward, the wind suddenly rose, and
blew with fearful violence from S.W., veering to W. for some hours on
yesterday morning. The blue storm flag was hoisted at Kingstown,
indicating to vessels in harbour to lower top-gallant masts and yards,
brace yards bye, and take other precautionary measures for safety.
Fishing boats were caught in the gale in the bay, and lives would have
been lost were it not for the assistance rendered by the pilot cutters,
Nos. 3 and [?] in towing them into harbour ; some of the boats had to
[cut] away their nets. The mail steamer Munster, which left Kingstown
in the morning for Holyhead, had two of her boats carried overboard
on passage, and smashed. She returned to Kingstown in the evening,
and was upwards of an hour detained on passage owing to very severe
weather outside.--Freeman.

SHIPPING CASUALTIES.
----------
THE General Shanly, Capt. Stetson, from Liverpool, for
Philadelphia, with a general cargo, put into Queenstown to-day,
having three feet of water in her hold, and all sails blown away.
She remains to get repairs. The United States arrived in the
harbour to-day, having in tow a vessel called the Leander, which
they picked up of[f] Crookhaven. It appears the United States
was lying in Baltimore Bay, after making an unsuccessful attempt
to tow a Russian barque off the rocks, when Mr. Swanton,
Lloyd's agent in Skibbereen, engaged her to render what
assistance she could to the Leander. The United States was
steamed to the disabled vessel, but the captain refused to give or
take a line, thinking he could get on well enough, as there was a
wind from the land which would keep him from the rocks. This
wind did not continue long, and at four o'clock this morning the
captain was obliged to accept the services of the United States.
She lost her main top-mast, and all attached, and received other
damage. The Russian barque, Margrete, which went on shore a
few days since off Baltimore Bay, it is thought will become a total
wreck. It is expected all the cargo, which is principally tobacco,
will be saved, but about half will be damaged. It was this vessel the
United States tug went round to render assistance to but she was
too firmly fixed on the rock to be stirred. Before the vessel got on
the rocks the Telegraph Company's tender refused £60 to tow her
away. No casualties occurred within the harbour last night.

CROOKHAVEN JAN. 4TH, 1866.--S.S. Limerick, for Limerick, left this
harbour to-day. I have been told that a brig, laden with tobacco, from
Virginia, is on shore at Whitehall, near Turk Head, and that her cargo is
being discharged. It seems that she went ashore the morning the Leander
went into Skull Bay. This must be the brig reported by the barque
Euphenia, which, as she came into Gascinane Sound, had the same mast
gone and her cargo in bags.--Correspondent.

THE SCOTLAND, OF GLASGOW.
----------
DINGLE, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.--Captain William Campbell, master of the
Scotland, and Mr. James Stobo, representing the owner, Mr. William
Watts, Glasgow, have arrived in this town for the purpose of
superintending the removal of the hull of the vessel. A steamer from
Liverpool is daily expected to tow the vessel to London, and the crew
have been ordered to muster on board this evening. The ship carried a
very valuable cargo, estimated to be worth £90,000. I am not in a
position to state whether the loss sustained is covered by insurance or
not.
I had an interview with Captain Campbell who handed me the
following documents for publication:--
"H.M.S. Leander, Ascension,
5th November, 1865.
"This is to certify that Mr. William Campbell, master of the merchant
ship, Scotland, has been taken out of that ship by the finding of a naval
court, from his total inability to command the vessel in consequence of
the sad accident that happened to him on leaving Calcutta, and not in
any way from misconduct on his part.
"J. G. BICKFORD, Captain, R.N.
in charge of Ascension."
----------
"Ascension, Nov. 26th, 1865
"I certify that I consider if Captain Campbell had proceeded home in
his ship, the Scotland, in the state of health he was in, it would have
been at the risk of his life.
"GEORGE BANKS, Surgeon in charge."

DINGLE, THURSDAY MORNING.--A favourable change in the weather has
taken place after a fortnight of the severest storms that we have had on
the west coast of Kerry for the last 50 years. This day is calm and sunny.
There is not a ripple on the surface of the water in Dingle harbour, but
the sea outside is still heavy.

Robert Quick, master of the schooner Rose, was summoned by
Constable Maher, for having on the previous night, about
12 o'clock, fired a shot on board that vessel, which lies of
Patrick's Quay. The constable, in reply to the bench stated
that the accused was drunk.

Quick said that he only fired off a blank cartridge for the
purpose of preventing thieves prowling about and coming on
board. Mr. Hayes for the accused urged, that as he was only
intoxicated on board his own vessel, it was no offense according
to the law. The bench concurred, but said that the gun ought
to have been registered when the vessel arrived in port from
St. John's.

Mr. Hayes said that that was perfectly right in strict point
of the law, but then the ship was only in port a few days, and
the captain was putting out to sea again. The bench imposed a
rule of bail, viz. -- the accused in £20, the gun to be
retained until regularly registered.

BROTHER JONATHAN ON HIS TRAVELS.--The travel to the Old World has
been amazingly increased within the last five or six weeks. Every vessel
for England, France, Germany, and the other countries of Europe, is
crowded to its fullest capacity. The Cunard steamer Persia, which left
port on Wednesday, was unable to accommodate all the applicants for
passage, and carried out an unusually large company of American
travellers. The Bremen, of the North German Lloyd's company, which is
announced to sail on Saturday, will depart with all her accommodations
for passengers completely exhausted. Our reporter was informed at the
office of the company yesterday that there were applicants enough to fill
three vessels of the capacity of the Bremen, and that never before, since
the establishment of the line, were the company obliged to refuse passage
to the people for want of sufficient accommodations. The same with
Dale's splendid line of steamers. Thus it was nearly at all the other
steamship offices. Mr. Richards of the Hamburg American Steam Packet
Company, has observed a marvellous increase in the number of steerage
passengers bound on short trips to their native land. They are three to
one as compared to the corresponding season of last year. Among the cabin
passengers by this route the per centage [sic] of Americans is also very
large. The French line also goes full and is a success. Of course at this
season every year the steamers are generally pretty well filled with tourists
bound for the fashionable watering places of Europe. But the increase this
year is so entirely beyond anything of the kind that has occurred for years,
that it can only be explained as due to the inevitable restoration of peace
and the consequent sense of security and confidence expressed by all
classes of our people.--New York Herald.

ATLANTIC CABLE.
----------
AS our readers are already aware, the manufacture of the cable
destined, we trust, to reunite the Old and New Worlds, is
completed, and the last coil is in course of shipment upon the
leviathan of the sea--the Great Eastern. On Saturday a committee
of gentlemen proceeded to Valencia to select the point of departure
and landing place of the cable on the Irish shore.
The gentlemen comprising the committee were :--Mr. Cyrus W.
Field, of New York, one of the directors of the Atlantic Telegraph
Company ; Mr. C. F. Varley, Electrician of the Atlantic and Electric
Telegraph Companies ; Mr. W. T. Ansell, Superintendent and
Engineer in Ireland of the Electric Telegraph Company ; Mr. B. D.
Watlock, Engineer of the Magnetic Telegraph Company, and Mr.
Temple, one of the engineers of the Telegraph Construction
Company.
The Knight of Kerry and Captain White of the Coastguard,
rendered the party most valuable assistance, and after a very careful
survey and examination of the line of coast, the Committee selected
Foilhamarrum Bay, under Bray Head, at the extreme western end of
Valentia Island, as the point of departure for the cable.
The press were represented by Mr. C. H. Farrell, special
Commissioner of the New York Herald, and Mr. Joseph Becker,
artist, attached to the staff of Leslie's Illustrated News, New York.

THE QUEENSTOWN LIFE-BOAT


The crew of this boat were out for their quarterly practice, yesterday.
The men comprising the crew are all fine young men,
and excellent oarsmen. Though they have been only a few times
together they displayed a considerable amount of discipline in
the manner in which they managed the life-boat yesterday. Each
member of the crew had a cork belt and life-buoy, which rendered
him quite free from sinking, in case of being put out of the boat
by the stroke of a sea. In course of the practice, yesterday,
the crew jumped overboard at intervals, and floated in the water
without the least exertion. The practice takes place every
three months.

THE WEATHER.
--------
DURING the last few days a good deal of rain has fallen, and the
character of the weather has been, on the whole, rather gloomy.
Last night the rain fall was exceedingly heavy, and it was
accompanied by a strong wind from the S.S.W. From an early hour
this morning the harbour, and the sea outside for a considerable
distance along the coast was covered by a dense fog. The weather
was so thick that the R.M.S. Asia, the homeward bound American
steamer, had nearly entered the harbour before she was observed
from Roche's Point. The fog lifted about ten o'clock, and the
weather has since been fine though there are still threatenings of
more rain.

FRIGHTFUL SHIPWRECK OF COOLIES--
260 LIVES LOST.
----------
(From the Friend of India, August 31.)

If any other argument were wanted to prove the necessity
of the Indian government giving earnest attention to the
coolie emigration trade, it is to be found in the tale of
horrors with which Calcutta has been occupied during the
past week.

On Sunday, 19th August, the American built ship, Eagle
Speed, Captain Brinsden, left Port Canning with 497
coolies for Demerara. Of these 300 were men, 93 women,
65 boys and girls under 10, and 39 infants--in all equal to
425 adult coolies. All the formalities attending the departure
and the arrangements of an emigrant ship were duly
observed. The crew was sufficiently strong as to numbers,
being of the same strength as when they left England. There
were twenty-six sailors and officers, exclusive of cabin
boys, cooks, and assistants. Captain Hoskins, the
portmaster, appointed Mr. Vardy, one of the three Mutlah
pilots, to pilot the vessel, and he himself, with the port
doctor and three other Europeans, went down the river in
her. He was aware that some of the crew were sick, but did
"not know whether the number was over the average;" he
knew that "three or four" were drunk, including the second
officer and the boatswain, and they continued drunk the
next day. The Lady Elgin, Capt. Heath, which had been
sent round from Calcutta, towed the ship down to
Halliday's Island where she anchored for the night. On
Monday morning she went on down the Eastern Channel.
The barometer was low and the wind from the west ; and
soon the sea rose so high, as the wind veered to the south
that the ship feared the steamer would not be able to tow
her. At 4 in the afternoon, in sight of the Mutlah reef buoy,
with the water low, the tide setting in and a fresh breeze
blowing, the rope connecting the steamer and the vessel
parted. The sands were a mile off, and during the two hours
spent in passing another rope, she drifted towards the
sands, without setting sail, which was impossible ; or letting
go the anchor which, Captain Brinsden confesses, it would
have been better to have done. She struck at half-past 6 in
4 fathoms, and then the anchor was dropped, while the
sea rolled in "very high." After half-an-hour she went off to
the southward, but with 19 inches of water in the hold. At 9
o'clock the machinery of the steamer became deranged,
and the ship anchored at the western channel at 10. The
coolies had been at the pumps from the first, but the water
increased, and at 3 on the morning of Tuesday, the 22nd,
with darkness around and a heavy sea, the Eagle Speed
signalled to the steamer that she was sinking. At 4 the
steamer's boat reached the ship, and the steamer herself
approached. But no attempt was made to pass ropes,
though this could have been done by daylight, and she might
have been at Halliday's Island by ten o'clock. On this point
Captain Hoskins evidence is clear--"Under the
circumstances, it would have taken two hours to pass
hawsers, they would have readily passed by daylight.
Suggesting that the wind was favourable and the sails were
set, the steamer could have towed the vessel to safe
anchorage in four hours. She would have been at 10 a.m. at
Halliday's Island."

Now we come to the tale of mismanagement, inhumanity
and horrible sacrifice of life. Three of the Eagle Speed's
boats were launched, manned by the crew, and
commanded by Captain Hoskins, by the pilot at Captain
Brinsden's request, and by the second officer, the first being
ill. Including the coolies, who threw themselves into the
water on hencoops, the boats saved 169, and all the
Europeans. Captain Hoskins' boat made five trips, but the
others were soon smashed ; one of them had at half-past 12
brought off the captain, whom his own crew refused to
help. The steamer's boat was also smashed after one trip.
Her two large boats were never launched. Captain Hoskins
said, "Had the steamer anchored ahead, and a raft been
made, many more lives might have been saved," but there
was no material to make a raft of, and Captain Brinsden in
vain "asked the steamer to anchor on the bow or astern,
and pass lines, in order to keep up a quicker and safer
communication." Before the captain left, the boatswain had
deserted the compounder and some topasses had broken
into the brandy-closet, the interpreter was not to be found,
and the pilot, who knew the language, did not return to the
ship. "From the first to last the crew acted badly. There was
some difficulty in getting them to man the boats latterly.
They were shamed into it by the passengers." The steamer
left for Port Canning ; no hint was given to the three
hundred miserable wretches who were sinking to launch the
ship's cutter, which had not been used, though the one
European left and five negroes did do so, and with thirty
coolies were afterwards found by the steamer. The ship
continued to float all that night, and did not sink till 7 on
Wednesday morning, justifying the opinion of Captain
Hoskins, "Considering the rate at which the ship was
sinking, I was sanguine that we would have succeeded in
getting the greater portion of the coolies out." Two steamers
were at once sent round from Calcutta, and the Lady Elgin
returned from Port Canning. They found three Coolie lads
on the mast of the wreck, and save about 60 more who had
floated to Halliday's and Butcher's Island, where the tigers
are said to have destroyed some. The coolies assert that the
last European tried to fire the ship. Of the 497 coolies, 260
seem to have perished on that terrible Wednesday morning
or afterwards in the jungle.

We have confined ourselves to facts. The Court of
Enquiry held on the pilot, before a jury in whom the public
have confidence, and the arrest of four of the crew with a
view to trial in the Vice-Admiralty Court on a charge of
setting fire to the vessel, render it necessary for us to abstain
from any attempt to fix responsibility. Captain Hoskins, who
seems to have done his duty better at least than any other
white man, in his evidence ascribed this horrible disaster to
"the force of circumstances." The court and the jury will
doubtless make it clear why, when in two hours the steamer
might have again taken her in tow after she was reported to
be sinking, and in four more might have deposited her
freight in safety on shore, she steamed off with 169, and
abandoned the rest to their horrible fate ; or why, before
steaming off, she made no attempt to use the three boats
each trip of which would have saved fifty lives. Even the
tigers of Butcher's Island would have been preferable to the
slow and silent approach of a fate equal to a thousand
deaths, as the shrieking victims were swept of[f] the wreck
till with its clinging burden it at last disappeared, leaving only
the top of the mast, three boys, and "lots of clothing," to tell
of inhumanity and incompetence such as are fortunately rare
in the annals of British seamen.
