The Dublin 'Nation,' of April 11, speaking of the rescue of the crew of the Europe by the National Line steamship, Greece, says:— The Cork papers report a gallant and daring attempt, happily success* ful, by the crew of the Greece, of the National line, to rescue the crew and passengers of the |Frenoh steamer Europe, which vessel was* encountered in the Atlantic in a sinking state. With pleasure we » notice, as foremast amongst the volunteers to board the doomed vessel, our friend, Dr Constantine Maguire, whose heroism contributed in no small degree to render the Irish Ambulance Corps in France a proud memory for Ireland. Indeed, it will be rembered that, before the ymbulance Corps left the Irish shore, Dr Maguire well inaugurated his career by leaping from the side of the La Fontaine into the river, and rescuing a drowning man. Our friend unites with the skill of the medical profession all the daring courage of a brave soldier.
