Naw Yosk,'April 3—Among the
C*Mn passengers lost on the
steamer Atlantic are now known as
Wm H. Merj-itt and wife, of New
York, Miss Merntt, his sister, and
Miss Schymzor, sister-in-law.

elected at St. .Louii by over 3000

There is no copy of the list of
passengers of the steamship At-
lantic in this city. The agent of
line here says his dispatches from
Halifax received last night,, state
that none of the Atlantic's cargo
bad floated, which he considers as
evidence that the steamer's hull is
not broken. The people who had
friends on board, crowded the office
of the White Star Line, hoping to
learn the names of the survivors;
but as no list is received, no infor*
mation could be given them. The
terrible disaster is the only
topic this morning, and a full inves-
tigation is demanded by the people,
and that the responsibility of the
disaster be fixed on the proper
parties. *
No reliable details of the disaster
as yet. The City of Montreal, due
to-day, brings a duplicate of the
list of the Atlantic passengers
The Company has sent an agent to
provide for, and report the names
of the survivors.
Tnere were no offers of bonds
today, and there was none to be
bought.
Two more agents of the White
Star Line have been sent to succor
the survivors of the Atlantic. The
officers of the company think the
disaster was caused by mistaking
the lights, and attach no blame to
tbe Captain or officer? for misman«
agement. Oapt, Williams has been
in the trans-Atlantic trade for
twelve years, being connect? d with
Williams & Gaion, before the IPhite
Star Line was organized.
Jno. Price, a lawyer of this city,
with two ladies in his charge; and
also, Peter Bradley, agent of a
* Barclay street firm, of this city,
were passengers. Inquiries were
also made for three steerage passen
gers, from Ireland, to relatives here.
The agents of tbe line have been
instructed to omit nothing that will
relieve the distress of those saved
and to forward them to their desti
nation.
The steamship Abyssynia eailed
for Liverpool to-day, taking oat
$240,250 in specie, besides several
coal barges. Two of the boats be-
came unmanageable, yesterday, off
Staten Intend; one of the former
sunk with a man and woman
aooard; six others went ashore,
some colliding with vessels at
anchor at quarantine j two beats
also went ashore.
Only three or four cabin passen-
gers were saved from the wreck of
the Atlantic; one an Englishman,
and two or three Frenchmen. Only
one lady passenger attempted to
save herself; she was frozen to
death in the rigging, and fell into
the water. The parser is among
the loit. ' Some of the passengers
have arrived in this city to-day,
and gav« harrowing details of the
calamity. The names of the offisers
or passengers saved are not known
as yet. Relief steamers are ex -
pected at 2. o'clock. The Atlantic
had 850 steerage and 30 saloon pas-
sengers. There had been two births
daring the voyage. The crew nam-
fcered 142, and there were 14 stow-
aways discovered. Three hundred
in all were saved, oat of the total
number of 1038. (
Mr. McDermott and two children
were among the passengers of the
lost steamer Atlantic. Mrs. Mc-
Dermott is matron of tbe Fifth
Avenue Hotel.
There is nothing in the sh%pe of
documents saved from the steamer
Atlantic. The list of passengers
will be obtained, if possible, upon
the return of the steamers from the
wreck.
A storage passenger made the fal-
lowing statement—I turned into my
berth about 11 o'clock Monday eve-
ning; the night was dark, but star-
light and weather fair; I knew the
ship was going into Halifax for coal;
the last I remember was that two
beil$rung as 1 o'clock struck; I then
went to sleep, and when 1 woke up
remarked to my mate, " there goes
anchorI thought, of course, we
wet® safe ic Halifax harbor > bqf ■
soon as she iadfe her second ptange Y
said; "good God, she ia ashore;"
with that we got ap and pressed to
the companion-way. which we found
was thronged with* steerage passen- ,
gers; seeing that the sea was com*
menciog to break over the ship and
lower down the conpanion-way I
got as many as possible' to take
to tbe bunks and bold on by the
iron stanchions, and there we re-
mained until after day light;
the ship had f&llea o?er; steerage
wa3 filled fall of water, one side only
being out of it. Oar only chance
of escape was the ports; a number
of men, probably twenty, got cc; at
at the ports to the side of the ves-
sel. I remained until all who were
alive were out. There were a great
many drowned in their bunks, and
others were drowted in trying to
reach the ports/ I got oat through
ports and held fast to the side of
the vessel for. about two hours, and
then went ashore by the life line.
When I left the ship there were
still a great many in tbe rigging.
Totai saved tvere 336, besides
coming up in the Lady Head. A-
bout one half of the steerage pass-
engers lost. All books lost, and
their names could not be obtained.
The following is the Captain's
statement: "We sailed from Liv.
erpool March 20th. Daring tbe first
part of the passage we had favora-
ble* weather and easterly winds; on
the 24th, 25th and 26£h, heavy
southwest and west gales,
which brought the ship down to 118
miles a day. On the 31st of March
the engine report showed about 127
tons of coal on board- We were then
460 mnes east of Sandy Hook with
wind southwest an i high sea and
falliog barometer ; the ship steaming
only 8 knots per hour ; it was consid-
ered too great a risk to push on; the
ship's speed varied from 8 to 12 knots
per hour; south wind and rain, which
veered to the west at 8 p, m. with
clear weather at midnigat. I judged
the ship to have made 122 mile?,
which would place her 48 miies south
of Cambro, and I then left the deck
I went into the chart room, leaving
orders to look out and let me know if
they saw anything and call me at 3 a
m., intending then to put the ship's
head to the south and wait for day
light. My first intimation of the
catastrophe was the striking of tbe
ship on Marr Island and remaining
there fast. The sea immediate*
ly swept away all of tbe
port boats. The officers went
to their stations and com-
menced clearing their way to the
weather boats. Rockets were fired
by the second officer, Before the
boats could be cleared, only ten
minutes having elapsed, the ship
keeled heavily to the"port; render-
ing tbe starboard boats useless,
Seeing that no help could be got
from the boats, i got the passen-
gers into the rigging and outside
rails, and encouraged them to go
forward where the ship was the
highest and less exposed to the
water. The third office*, Mi. Brady,
and qaartermasters Owens and
Speaking, by this time having es-
tablished communication with the
Aptiyiag Rock, abont forty yards
dist*n', by means of a line;, g t
four other lines to the rock, and
along which aboat 200 persons
passe i. Between the rock and the
shore was a passage of 100 yards
wide; the rope was successfully
passed across this, by which means
about 50 got to land; though many
were drowned in the attempt. At 5
a. m., the first boat appeared from
the island, bat it was too small to
be of any use. Through the ex
ertiona of Mr. Brady, the islanders
were aroused, and by 6 a; m three
large boats came to our assistance.
By their effjrts ail that remained
on the side of the ship, and one on
the rock, were landed in safety, and
cared for by a poor fisherman, named
Clancy, and bis daughter. Daring
tbe day, survivors to the number of
429, were drifted off to the various
bouses scattered aboat. . Toe resi-
dent magistrate, Osmund Ryan,
rendered valuable assistance.
The chief officer having got up
the mizzenriggmg, the sea having
cat off uis retreat, and he stood for
six hoars bv the woman who had
been placed in the rigging, for the
sea was too high to , attempt his
rescue. At 3 p. m a clergyman,
Rev Acient, succeeded in getting to
him a. line, and getting him off
Many of the passengers of the sa-
loon and steerage, died in the rigg-
ing from cold, among them the,
parser I. placed two bodies in
the life boat, but finding the boats
useless, carried them to the main
rigging and left them and went aft
to encourage others to go forward
on the side of the ship; at this time
the boilers exploded, and the boat
rolled over to the l§e ward; the ship
at this time was oq her beam ends;
finding: myself useless there, I went
to take tne ladies forward, |t>ut found
them gone, nor did I see them after-
ward. Many passengers at this
time could not be stimulated to save
themselves, but lay in the jiggins
dead,iEom^frigbt_apd exposure
and helping, and directing until
aboat fifteen \frere landed. Finding
my hands and legs were becoming
useless I left the ship, two other
boats beihg clos - to embark the re«
mainder. On reaching shore I dis-
patched Mir. Brady, third officer, to
Halifax across the ^country, to
telegraph the news of the disaster
and obtain a sistance.
Mr. Morrow, ag-nt of the Cunard
line, promptly responded and sent
two steamers wish provisions to con-
vey the survivors to Halifax, where
they will be cared for and forwarded
to,New York the first opportanity in
charge of the 1st and 4th officers ; the
3d officer and four men being left at
tbe island to care for the dead as
they come ashora. Captain Sherdon
Deerbos, received provisional author-
ity to the salvage of cargo's materials.
Second officer was lost with No. SO

Dispatches have been sent to* tbe
officers of wrecking company at Hali-
fax, instructing them to send their
vesaals at once to the scene of the
Atlantic disaster for the purpose of
saving any thing belonging to the
Atlantic that can be found.
The Atlantic, together with tier
cargo, is valued at about $850,000 ;
her loss will be partly covered ^y
insurance.
Early this morning the Bominion
Government stsamer. Lady Head,
Capt Malson. Canard steamer Delta,
Capt Shaw, and s:eam tug Goleath,
Capt Jones, left the city for the scene
of wreck of the White Star steamer,.
Atlantic,at Prospect, to render^assist
auce if they could. The start was
made at three, so the steamers might
reach the scene immediately after
daylight. As morning broke the
steamers approached Prospect. Those
on board quickly learned the wheren
aboots of the ill-fated steamer from
the presence around her of a large
fleet, fishing schooners and small
boats. The locatiou^is one that ma-
riners would be disposed to give a
widefbetth to if possible, the shore
being large beds of rock with danger
ous shoals running out for some die
tance, while the Bay is studded with
islaada, large and small, all of solid
rock with scarcely a sign
of vegetation or, soil for
anything to grow on, yet frown
ing and dangerous as the place was,
there was grandeur and beauty in the
scene on this bright morning when
angry waves were beating against the
rocks and enveloping the shore almost
continnoasly with clouds of spray.
Bat the terrrible story of the ship*
wreck took too much of the attention
of those aboard relieving steamers to
allow many minutes in admiration of
natare, the business of the vessels
was to get on board the passengers
and others who had been rescued and
pat on shore in saca large number and
at euch a small place, not even large
hearted generosity, and the kindneea
of fishermen conld not be expected to
make them comfortable..
The Delta and Lady Head being
unable to venture near tbe shore came
to anchor and gos out with t&s life
boat and weat to embatk the people;

guage. The members of the Right
became exasperated at the call for
order, and threatened to quit the

diguified speech, in which he inti*
mated that he should resignj and
declared the sitting ended. The
house broke up amid intense excite-
ment. The Deputies, of all shades
of political .opinions, waited on

Cotton Premium.
There being no premium offered
for cotton at the State Pair, Mr. T.
W. House on yesterday headed a
subscription to offer a special pre-
mium on the occasion.
Mr. House subscribed $50 to that

will be raised an amount sufficient
to bestow a handsome premium for
our leading staple to be subject to
the rules and regulations of the
Texas Agricultural, Mechanical and
Blood Stock Association.

amounted to $250, whfeh will be
