FEARFUL MARIXK DISASTER.-The
Merchants' Exchange of New York
bulletins the following:
'The ship William Nelson, Capt.
Smith, from Antwerp, June 4, of and
for New York with passengers, was
bumed on the banks of Newfoundland
on the lit inst. About thirty of her
passengers were picked np and taken
to St. John, N. F. The boats, with
crew, ?fcc, are missing, and it is sup?
posed that 400 lives have been lost.'
A despatch from Montreal, dated
July 7, says: Capt. Alton, of the
steamship Moravian, gives the follow?
ing statement:
The Associated Press boatman, at
Cape Race, reported that the steamer
Meteor, belonging to J. <fc W. Stew?
art, arrived at St. John's, on Friday,
with forf.v of the passengers and crew
of the ship William Nelson, taken
from the burning wreck on the 3anks
ol Newfoundland. The William Nel?
son sailed iront Flushing for New York
with Gurman emigrants on board.
Before the Meteor reached the burn?
ing vessel all the boats bad put off
full of passengers and crew, but none
of the boats had been beard of. As
far as Captain Alton could learn there
were upward of four hundred passen?
ger:: on byard whtn the ves&el sailed.
William Y. Ripley, Esq?, of Rut?
land, Vermont, has in his possession
an ingenious-contrived torpedo, made
to exactly resemble a large lump oF
coal. This was the artful contrivance
employed with so much success by
the rebels in blowing up transports on
the Mississippi, and it suspected
that the awful disaster of.the Sultana
waa accomplished by one of these dia?
bolical things.
