Vrssni. of War and LOSS OF ONI: Hodred Lives.—lntelligence has been received of the foundering of the Federal corvette Bainbridge, seven'guns, Commander T. J. Dwyer, ill a fearful hurricanc, on the 21st August, the whole of the crew, about 100, with the exception of two men, going domi with the vessel. The Bainbridge formed one of the Federal lleet appointed to the West India waters to intercept the various " blockade-runners." The British brig South Boston, which arrived at Philadelphia on the oth inst., from Barbadocs, reports that on the 23rd of August, in latitude 30.19 N., longitude 7 t, she picked up James Smith, a coloured man, who was in a boat half full of water. He stated that in a terrible gale, three days previously, the Bainbridge suddenly foundered, and that he a:id the cook alone escaped by jumping in the boat discovered by the South Boston, the fastenings of which were instantly cut, and it was borne away by a mountainous wave as the corvette disappeared in the trough of the sea. The cook becamc a raving maniac twelve hours after the sinking of the vessel, and jumped overboard. Smith was now left alone in the open boat, and endured dreadful sufferings. Numbers of tiroes he was washed out of the boat, but always managed to scramblo in again. At last, when all hope had tied, Smith waa picked up ill a most providential inauuer, while the gale was still raging in all its fury, and landed safely in Philadelphia. —London Dnily Telegraph, September 19. Wreck op the .Tlanwii: Deans.—The following narrative of a disastrous voyage and narrow escape from shipwreck in the first instance, and starvation in the second, has been transmitted lo us, Rockhamptou Bulletin, by one of the sufl'erers :—The Jcannie Deans, schooner, Bruce, master, the property of Mr. Underwood, Auiteum, left that island bound for Torres Straits, in search for beehe-le-mer, on December sth, touched at Tana, Sandwich, and Mare, and arrived at the Capricorn Group on the 30th of the same month. Thence she proceeded northwards, surveying the various reefs on the route, until she arrived at Capo Grafton, when Captain Edwards, in the Woodlark, was spoken with, bound south. Not finding any inducement to remain, the voyage was proceeded with, and having searched the various reefs as far as Endeavour Straits without success, on the sth February the vessel sot sail on her return. Xothing particular occurred until in n heavy hurricane, on the 3rd .if April, the vessel was placed in imminent danger, having lost all her sails. As a last resource, to prevent her drifting on shore, both anchors were let go, and fortunately held ; ono anchor and chain were lost during the following night; but the weather moderating, Ave were enabled to repair damages, and continued to beat towards the south p.gainst a strong south-easter and a northerly current. The weather again becoming threatening, we anchored under the lee of one of the Rernard Group, having vainly, attempted to reach Dunk Island. The weather still getting worse, and the anchor dragging, we determined to run back to Fit/.roy Island, which was accordingly done, and there took in ballast, firewood, and water, waiting until the breeze moderated. However, on the morning of the l i;h, the gale increased to a regular hurricane, and having dragged from under the lee of the island, to prevent the vessel being swamped, slipped our remaining anchor, and run on the reef surrounding Green Island. Immediately on the vessel strikiwr, the mainlopmast went over the side, and boats, with everything on deck, washed overboard. After great diiliculty we managed to scramble over the. reef on the island, and landed, naked and bleeding, but thankful to Providence for the unexpected preservation of our lives. The next dav we were enabled to secure a few casks of rice which were floating about, but nothing else, the vessel having rapidly broken up. The rice was saturated with salt water, but having been washed in the rain, which continued to pour iu torrents, it served as a means of subsistence. The island is small, and all'ords nothing in the shape of food except shell-fish ; wat<*r was obtained by scraping a hole in the sand. On May 4th a steamer was observed, and signals having been made, a boat was sent on shore ; to our great joy, the person in charge informed lis it was tlic Pioneer war steamer, bound for England, Coinmaudor Robinson. He appeared to commiserate our condition, and promised to send us on shore supplies of clothing, i00;l, and ammunition, l'lie boat then left us, and on arriving alongside tho steamer, she was hoistod on board, tho vessel wore round, th« courses let fall, tho studding eailj iet, and away sho went, leaving us in a state bordering on despair. On May 14th, a vesssct waa otwerrod ou a reef about uevon miles to tho eastward, and in the courso of tho forenoon, a boat, evidently from the trreck. came clow to tlie idland. We matin

' signals, mid ra 1 tUnvis to welcome thi-n on the bjaoh, but it appi'iti-H wl* were taken lor unlive*, ami the bout \\\nn :nvj\v without communioatimr with uh. The wcullht continuing boisterous, xvo finished a. .-siiioe, on which we hud boon labouring fof some , time ; imtl on tlu> fir?! line day wnt oil* to the vessel, which ih'OViml to be the Antagonist from %ihiftv. hound to Jndi.'i »iHi horses, five of which had died orcvii>\islv to our going oa hoard. The hay on board hail taken tin* through spontaneous combustion, but thi» was sxion extinguished, atul tlic remainder thrown overboard. J*roviaions in ivbundauee were obtained, and uH frill's of death trom starvation were put an end to. About a month afterwards, (Japtain Kdwurds touched with tho Wood lurk on the island, from whom we received every assistance until riic arrival of the Uncle Toui* Cajitaiu Leonard, trom Svdney t with stores for Captain Kdwards. Wc asked a passage to Sydney by him, but lie refused, without a guarantee for the passage money ; but after a conference with Captain Kd wards, lie agreed to allow us to work our passage to L'ort Penison, stating that he would run the risk of offending his owners, Messrs. Towns and Co., to that extent. After a pleasant run of three days, we arrived there on the 2list October, the niastor proceeding to Sydney, and Captain Champion, of the steamer Samson, with his usual kindness, offering a passage to the others to Kockhampton. Tims terminated a voyage disastrous throughout, and where for a time the lives of all were placed in imminent jeopardy, more particularly through the inhumanity of a commander in one of Ilcr Majesty's vessels."
