A correspondent of an English ppr, who was a passenger in an Australian ship which narrowly escaped destruc tion by an iceberg, has (umis'ied the iolloumjj graphic narrative of ilie alar- ming occurrence : " 'fl was recently a jitssengtr fiom Aus Ir.ilia to Liverpool on hoard one of the noblt-st ship', (he Hoyal S audHrd, be lt longing to the celebrated While Star Cine of Packets. We ere upwards of 300 Matule adult on board, exclusive' of the capiaiu, uflicers. btewaid. and Neteutj-oue crew, and had as a caryo 3,000 bale, of wool, and $600,000 worth of gold. The first pari-of tur voyage was attended with no priicuUr inci dent; of course there was the usual routine of seasickness, the form-ilion of "messes," and the unpacking, and the metamorphoses occasioned by changts of dtes thai ate now familiar to all old Kiayen. Afier the genial intertropical climate of the antipodes, wc rapidly ap proached "the Horn," when the ueatii er became intensely cold. Morning, noon, and night, groups of passengers huddled or crept, round the hug funnel of our ship, for we were an auxiliary.' crew.to gather a little "extra warmth. On Sunday. April 3d, latitude 56 deg. South, longitude 149 deg. West, we" saw the first iceberg, and a beautiful figiu it was. It was a majestic mountain of ice floating along like a mass of burnished silver, about 360 feel Jiigh, as ascertain ed by the sextant, and about two miles in length at the base. As the sun shone fuM upon if, it presented a splendid ap pearance, and as out relaiivepoMtions alterd it assumed a vaticty of xhnpes most fantastic, and light-house,-t-aUie-drals,. -churches, etc., wire, easily con futed up without much stretch of imag ination. As we stood, one and all, gaz ing at this Antarctic wonder ot the deep, some looking at it thrqagb their glassex, some sketching it in tlieir note-books, aid all associating with it ideas of nov elty and beauty, no one dreamed that the, next day woald be One of such aw ful peril that the UUal destruction of our ship .and all on bard appeared inevita- ilonday, April 4th, opened with thick, hazy weather, and a good breeze, be fore which. weie going, without steam, (en knots an hour, apprebessive.of uo danger.

All hands" were immediately sunnoned oav atcK, and every thing done to prevent what now appeared inevitable a collis ion between our ship and the iceberg. The yards were trimmed, tbe sails ad justed, and everything doneto prevent mis leartul catastrophe; but in vain. The monster mountain of ice drew near er and nearer to us.and we drifted nearer and nearer to it. At lensrth the inevit ble moment came; one heavy roll of the ship, and the yards of the foremast grated right into the solid mass of ice, tearing out and hurling down upon the deck immense blocks of ice, some of tjieai of enormous size. At tbe same momeiil.the main aud mizxeB top-masts snapped at the cap with tremendous noise, and. being made of iron, hung over with all (heir womm;,! ti.a : :.. tothegreaidingerofeti-ryoneondeolt While this was iroin? on tlm min .1 ii...

The scene on desk was now indescriba ble. Loudly ere the orders passed fore and aft to the bands, and as heartilv obeye!,to adjust the yards and trim the ship eo as to help her to forge ahead of Uie iceberg, many of the passengers rendering good set vice in this emergen cy. Under the forecastle derk were gathered groups of men. pale, silent, awe-struck. Two strong, sialwart men had hold of my hands, and, with big Deads ol tears rolling down their cheeks, cried for roercj . Between decks, wo men and children were loud in their passionate cries.and in the intermediate was an elderly gentleman, a widower, wiih five children, in the agony of woe. xpecting his and their immediate ties (ruction. Still the worst was not come; again the ship's yards crunched into the iceberg; where 1 stood I looked op arfd saw that this mountain of ice actually oterhung the ship, standing then 600 feet out of water. There were two large fissures running from the top a considerable way down, and as the ship rolled over I feared (he yards would eo into one of these fissures; had they done so. they would have brought down tuns of ice that would have sent us to the bottom ina moment. We were spared that doom; but the next instant the foretop-gallant mast, jibboom, fore-lop- s-iil yard, studding-sml &om, and all tlieir gear went at the next crunch, tear ing and splitting the sails to ribbons. At the same time over the forecastle deck Mme rolling vast torrents of water, flooding the decks and creating a fresh hource of danger. The Hoyal Standard was now all but a helpless log; crippled and dismantled, sh.- presented, the mosi piti'tble appearaoce, and with her masts, yard?. clia'ns,and topes all banging over r "Tbtn shrieked the Umidnd stood'sUli tbe brare." V Pale and 'trembling men gazed, first at the iceberg, then at the ship.ptesent ing a picture mosu desolate, and then at each other; many shook hands, and bade each other good-by; and all stood, expecting a certain watery grave. For myself, 1 was too aiunsed and startled to feel excited; 1 seemed incapable of any feeling but that of dumb amazement Aot a, tear came to my relief, not a word escaped my lips. Wife and children I fell I should never see any more; an j so, holding a fellow-passenger!! -)mmj I calmly awaited the awful nTom'ent, the summons to winch ,,.,d come ao unex pectedly, anr under such fearful cumsr-inces.

Still the worst was not come, and but for the amiziug strength of her iron hull, all on board must have gone down to the bottom, leaving no record of their fate behind them. Bodily the Miip d 1 if ted up aga1nit,thu berg, her whole side coming ilolenlly in contact wiih it, and I quote from the ship's log, lest my account shou'd be regarded as the natural exaggeration of a landsman's fears "smashed the starboard life-boat, carried awny the bumpkin, stove in all the stai board bulwarks, stove in tbe starboard quarter in several places; also, the captain VcabfnYand sent the chro nometers flying about, lifting tbe poop deck beams one foot, thus damaging all the cabins; and with another heavy 'cr-ti-li split our upper plate amidships and'did other sundry daaagee. At this moment to'tal destruction seeaed inev itable;' but as tbe ship still slowly forged ahead under main and foresails, hope still rewmned. At last the end of tbe berg came ia view, and we forged clear The berg appeared to be entirely envel opVl itf a dense fog, and about 600 feet Wgw; We passed along about balf a again.forall our safety lay in our speed ily gaining open sea. At length, after many times "Not yet, sir." he said. "Yes, sir, close by," and in another minute we had paused our enniy, and were in open sea once more. Three loud cheers passed fore and aft, lud again we shook each other by ibe hand, and thanked God for our de liverance. The saloon passengers im- asediaiely held a ".pedal religious ser vice, and so did the intermediate and steerage, and these services were con tinued daily till our arrival in Liverpool. Never, often as I had heard it, did the tin......... r .L- r - inugunc 01 iue i-rayer-uo, . appear o grandly and solemnly impressive, as night after night we met in ih Miioon, passengers and such of (he crew as were off duly; and then.all distinction! merg ed, reverently bending before Him who, in his elernaj tenderness, had saved us in the hour of sorest peril, we with one heart said, "We . . . humbly ptecent ourselves again before thy Duiue Maj- esiy to offer a sacrifice of piaise aud thanksgiving, for Utat ihou heardest us when we called in our trouble, and didst not cast out our prajyr, which we nnde before thee in our deep distress; even rhen we gave up all for losi our ship, our goods, our live then thou didst mercifully look upon us, and wonder fully conmmand a deliverance." For a hundred nigh is regularly did we meet for worship, in addiiion to our two ser vices every Sunday, and the gambling and drinking usages were completely suspended. After our danger was past, theti the overpowering rush of frehng came to my relief, nor 10 me alone; theie weie many others and this is one of the curious psycholoical facts connected with such strong, sudden excitement j who, when the danger was all over, fat and wept and subbed like childien. Happily, no life h s lost. The ship was a perfect wreck; her beauty and sym-mt-try destroyed, her capacity for a speedy passage across the ocean taken away, and nil the high expeditions tue cHputiu auu passengers 01 a "crac passage' men to take p.irt in public assemblies being denied by a majority of lliejEera bers.

He was, early in life, awakened under the preah mg of Win. Tennet, and for nearly a century served the Lord with character istic ardor and devotion. The N. T.

I's g wine to feed de soul to-day.' Those, ho 6aid wero days in which I soreads de great things before de Lord and begs.'
