Loss of the Arctic If Oar Northern mails bring us the particulars f of this sad calamity. The following ae- ( count is furnished the New York papers by , Mr. George H. Burns, the express messen- 't ger of Adams & Co., who was on board, ' and fortunately escaped the terrible perils of the disaster; The steamship Arctic, with 22t> passon- ( gers, exclusive of children, *75 employers, ( a valuable cargo, and heavy mail, is lost? , Of the more than four hundred souls who , left Liverpool on the 20th ult full of hope, i gayety and health, mauy returning from j an Europeun tour of pleasure.only thirty two ( are known to have been saved, and certain, ly not more than one hundred can, by any possibility, have escaped a watery grave. In addition to this, another large steamer, freighted with hundreds of human beings. has, in all probability, met a like fate. The details of the horrible disaster are as follows: On Wednesday, September 27, precisely at 12 o'clock M., in a dense fog, wo came in contact with a bark.rigged Iron propeller, with black hull, salmon colored bottom, lead cob-red poop and boats and black pipe. She was bound eastward, and I Mid uli sail | set, with a strong, fair wind. The speed of i tne Arctic at the time was about thirteen iknota an hoar. The shock to us appeared slight, but tho damage to the other vessel frightful Capt. Luce instantly ordered the quarter boats cleared away, and the chief mate, boatswain and three sailors went to her relief; before other boats left, tne order was countermanded. The Arctic then described a eircle twice round tho wreck, during which tiinc I caught a glimpse of more than two hundred people clustered on her hurricane dock. At this juncture it was first ascertained I that we had sustained injury, nnd tho water j was pouring in at our bows W ben the first | oracer eaine along side to report tho captain | viw un-Mi< to take Mm up, but headed N. N. W., in the hope of making land Our poaition on the previous day, at 12 o'clock, waa latitude 48 39, longitude 45 27. We had run about three hundred and ten milea from the time of this observation until the moment of collision, and were supposed to bo foity miles from Cape Rico. The pumps were vigorously worked, and an anchor chain thrown overboard; but, in spite of all exertion, tho engines stopped, and the water extinguished the fires. Four of the five other life bonts, believed lo have been well provisioned .containing tin engineers, sailors, a few passengers and all the officers, except the captain and thi'd mate, left the ship at un early stage. J he majority of the passengers were working at the pumps, some firing the signal guns, and others launching spars, under the direction of Captain Luce ard, Mr. Dorian, the third mate, to form a raft. In order to facilitate this latter work the sixth and last boat was lowered. Dorian, one or two Are men, three of tho ether passcngera saved, and myself, were busily engaged lashing watercasks and settees to the main yard, two topgallant yards and several smaller spars?the captain, with a number of gentlemen, protecting the work by keep iog back the crowd, when a panic seized all on board, a rush was made, passengers and firemen precipitated themselves headlong over tho bulwarks on to the raft, and in a moment our little boat was full and in im minunt danger of being sunk. In this emergency, Dorian ordered the rope which held us to the steamer to be cut, and with our hands and axes we paddled from the ratYs aide. The mate, who throughout prei.eved great presence of mind, and labored with he < r??ic energy, cried out; "For God's sske, captain, clear the raft, so that we can work. ? .? . .L- ?fc-t IM - ? won k ui'uri iuu snip wuue ware s a inn- { her above water." 'Jut the sen was now flush with the dead lights. In less than three minutes t'rnm the time he spoke the stern sunk?the fount went boiling over the tumbling heap of human beings?many were dashed forward against the pipe. I heard one wild yell (still ringing in my ears) and saw the Arctic and the struggling mass rapidly engulph ed. Numbers yet clung to the imperfectly i-onstructed raft; but, alas, we could render mem no aid. Our own situation was no less precarious; and cruel as it (teemed, we were forced to abandon them to fute. Heaven forbid that i should ever witness such another sceno. We however picked up two more men, and then, with an overloaded host, without oars, tholepins, food or drink, avoiding with difficulty tho fragments of the wreck, and passing many dead females, prepared for a night upon the ocean. We soeured a flouting pumpkin and cabbage to guard against immediate starvation, lushed a spar to the bow of our boat to keep her head to the wind and uea, and thus drifted until daylight; the night wuscold and foggy with a heavy swell, sad in a cramped, drenched, and half nuked condition, we suffered terribly. Without dwelling upon our miseries, alleviated much by the consciousness that we had endeavored to do our duty to our fellow* men, suffice it to ssy thst at 6 o'clock on the afternoon of the 38th we espied u toil, and raised a handkerchief to attract attention. Wo were successful. With the rude nw tmfll uto fne assu lb K i.?

The bark proved to be the Hnron, of St. Andrews, N. S., Captain A. Wall, bound for Quebec. Our men sife on liourd, the nooie-nearteu iiuruu, with some of the Huron's crew, returned to Uie raft and rescued the poor fellow, who for twenty-six hours had clung to the spars, tie states I that after the steamship sunk ho counted seventy-two men and four Wouiuu on the raft, but at (ty o'clock lie was the ouly one alive. In the morning iwo bodies were beside him, much eaten by fishes, aud ut the time he saw our bust he was on the point of voluntarily drnppiog into the sea to end bis sgony. Coming troin t..e rait, uorutii soeouutered aud examined the life cur of iho Arctic.

UurtBg the night of the Mtli, Capt. Wall hung out extra lights, tired rockets, and kept s horn blowing, in hopes of falling in with the remainder of the boats, hut his 1 endeavors were fruitless.

Although there is not a great deal of business before the Court, we believe there is euough to consume the week. There is no case of any great importance, excepting the State against Johnson.
