Four fire-trains, containing one thousand people rushed through the burning woods. The following are some particulars of the loss of the Schiller. She carried a full cargo, and an unusually heavy mail ; was manned by a crew of 125 officers and men, and had. 140 cabin and 120. ateerage passengers, making a total of 385 souls. The course of the st.ea.mor was up the English Channel* through the Straits of Dover, into the German Ocean. It is evidenythatiihe captain, owing, probably to a heavy fog, was considerably out of his iconrse, The part of the coast where the Schiller struck is nptqri« ously dangerous, and difficult of navigation, notwithstanding' it is abundantly, supplied with 'lights. Only 47 souls are, known to be saved. The Schiller took out a general cargo of merchandise, valued at 150,000 dols,. and was insured in New York and London " offices ; and in addition carried 300,000 dbls in specie. The vessel was valued at 600,000 dols, and was fully insured in Hamburg and London Companies.. A 'New York Herald's* special gives full incidents relative to the disaster, as follows j-^The survivors and dead arrived at Pehzance yesterday, as follows At eight o'clock there came a boat with seven persona, then came .two -boats with women and children; and a ship's boat subsequently picked - tip the bodies of a little boy and four men. One mat* wag found floating on a piece of wreck ; at a late hour of the day three more bodies were recovered at sea. When tlie boats finally reached the neighborhood p£ Relarriejie Ledge the laet mast of the Schiller went overboard, the scores of people who were clinging to it were drowned after having endured most agonising suspense during the night. The passengers had gone to sleepat the time of the accident. The Relarriene Ledge, on which the vessel struck^ , is one bf the niany dangerous shoals lying inside the Bishops" Rock Lighthouse. The Island of Roskear and South Bishops Rock fogbells ought to have been heard by the steamer. No such disaster^ as the present one has happened on the Cornish coast since the John May in 1855, when 200 lives were lost. The 'Herald* says the responsibility of thw awful shipwreck seems to! rest on the officers. There was no storm, 'but simply fog and darkness of night, and j considering that none of the lights. could be seen, the Bishops Rock fog bell could have been heard, and there was 'still a chance for the unlucky Schiller passengers, who are the victims, f>f a terrible blunder. It can hardly be, possible that an event so terrible, and; apparently a» unnecessary, will be OverloQTji^ Ttift SchUler iras lost on a coast weU knpvyn to sailors ;j not on a^j^ 'new or unknowttrO^
