Editor Star: It has doubtless already been flashed across the Atlantic that the U.8. steam- er Guerriere run on shore on the 26th July, and had a narrow escape from total loss. It may be interesting to your readers and the friends of thos on board the ship to know a little more in detail. This accident did not occur from foul weather and dificulties of navigation, but like the first one, when the ship was run’ on Nan- tucket Shoals, there ee to be desired requested LIVERPOOL, Ai Neptune and Jissore, from New York; A.

The bearings could have been ascertained at any moment, and the dangerous course avoided, had any attention been paid to the matter; but they say that the chart gave 15 fathoms right in the line we were sailing, and at the spot we struck. How this may be, re- mains to be seen, Ried there seems to be a sus- picion that a mistake has been committed in he 13.on the chart for fathoms when it et, which was exactly what the sound- ings gave around the ship after she struck. reference to the saili ions we find ships are warned to give Vado light a wi. berth, and the a jestion arises, alf a mile a fire broke out in the stable of the Waverly Honsé. The wind was blowing a gale, and the ttames spread rapidly, and soon thirty buildings were consumed, including the Waverly Hows, the late Governor Packer's residence, the Mul- berry street church, and many stores and pri- vate dwellings. The loss will reach $125,000, and the insurance about $75,000. A Family of Six Poisoned y Fish.
