THE NEW YORK HERALD EWHOLE NO = 6624. THE ARCTIC CALAMITY. Additional ¥ Particulars of the Dreadfni Affair. Arrival of Several of the Rescued Passengers end Sailors in New Yorke {nteresting Statements from Mr. Baalhom, Felix de Macyer, Edward Dupasseur, Hen- derson Moore, and ov Dobbs, SKETCHES OF PASSENGERS. THE VERY &e., &o., Several of the passengers, officors, estiors and fireven *wercued fron the Arctic, arrived in this city yoaterday afternoon. They came to Boston im the Europe, from Eslifox, and reached New York by the New Haven train. They were josfully received by their friends at the de- pot, Twenty eighth atreet, and weie conveyed to their veeldences. Our reporters catied upon several of them, ud obtained scme additional ivterosting particalers of the terrible calamity, which we yive in this morning's yerer. There wes a rumor in town lnst vight that s vessel had been spoken curing the dsy oui-ide of Saady Hook, with a number of he passengers and crew of the Arctis on boerd. After diligent inquiry we rutisfled ourselves that the rvmor was entirely without founcation. Mr. Dorian was examined yostarday by Caytaia West, tam relation to the particulers of the disaster, but very Utde additions! information was elicited be ides that al- Teady published. It is Captiin Weat’s opicion, how. ever, from a Cue consideration of all the circumstances, that thore are hopes still of the safe y of urs Colling end family. She was not, as some suppose, pat in the larboard quarter boat, but he believes was, after the ‘Yous of those who were lowered, ylacet ia one of those which have not yet been heard of. We hope his conclu- ors will prove to be correct, although it would seem impossible from the direct statement of Mr. Burns to the contrary. ‘The Vesta is eaid to belong to Messrs. Hernoux & Co., of Dieppe. It is well known that the above frm makes ‘every year great outfits for the fisheries of Newfoundland, In the fall they sends steamer to carry provisions to those ships which are to remain durisg the winter sea- fon in those latitudes When tho steamer retacns, sho takes to France those fishermen whose presencs ia not seeded durieg the winter season. This accounts for the large number of people seen on board. ‘bere is still some hope of safety for M Gaynst and bis family. M. Dupssreur announces, in a telegraphic despatch from Halifax, that M. Guynet was preparing “te embark in the boat wh'ch was to leave the arctic ia tnediately after the one ia which he (x. Dupassour) was saved. : We have been requested to ask those persons who wire saved from the /retic to leave their nemer and places of residence at this office, for the information of those who ‘have friends who were on tosr® aud are now missing We would like to have, amorg others, the acdcess of Mr. James Thompson, of Louisiana.

Owing to the crowded state of tha A he was compelicd to remain at Liverp ol for the nex steamer—the Canada—in which ves-e! be arrived here a few days ago. Mra. Ives, daughter of the late Bishop Hobart, returned home with him. MR. HENDERSON MOORE'S STATEMENT. Mr. Moore says that when the collision cocarrsd, he was down in the dining saloon waiting for lunch, as it “was about the usual hour that the gong was sounded for ‘that repast. As soon as the collision happeoed, he im mediately went upon deck, and siw the propslier a shot ‘Glstance from the arctic. Not cesming our vessel at the ‘time to be in danger, and supposing the other had sus ‘tained most injury, cur captein caused the -reti: to pail atound her twice The trst officer, Mr. Goarilie, and alx men were crdered by the cuptain to lower the quarter boat and go tothe rei‘efof the propeller. He @id not hear the order, but others saved with him did. 4s soon asthe captain found taat the arotic was eeri- ously injured, he, the captain, called to Mr. Gourlio, aad Fequested him to come on board, but as the steamer wis ander headway he could not reach her, and he and the Boat were soon ‘lost sight of in the dense fog which prevailed. The last time be saw Mr. Goarlie, ho was mtanding ap in the boat listening to the captain, who stated that he wished him, if possible, tocomo on Board immediately, asthe vessel was seriously ivjured Finding it. impossivle to get Mr. Gourlie on board, he gave orders to put the hesd of the steamer for lind, which way the moved until about 2 P.M.

Af- ter layidg onour oarsa few minutes, we went towards ‘the steamer, being directed by the sound of ber b-lls. While approaching her, we fe'l in with another bost, containing twonty-five persors, in charge of the purser of the Arctic. Including thore picked up, our boat now ontsined twenty-six persons ia all, under the direstion bf Mr. Baslam.

To resume, from the Cove we msde our way to St. Jobns, Newfoundiand, and took passage onthe steamer Mori'n for Halifax, which it ovk the poor sailing boat aix days to reach.

We are indebied to the courtesy of M Masseras, editor of the Courier des Etats Unis, for « slip of the statement of M Dupasseur, which we translate: — M. Lupssseur ssy¢:—On Weineséay, the 27th, the Arctic was, according to estimation, about forty miles from Ca#Tece The weather was fno,the ses calm There wesa thick fog The ship was uniter full speed. T+olve o'clock had just struck—the passengers had gathered in tke cab'n preparitory to lunch Some were en raged in drawing the numb rs of the daily lottery an amuse- ment which is common on board these steemers and te chances of which are based upon ths pum ver of miles m reorlo:s, ron during the preceding twenty four hours. At once a rhock war felt in the forward part of the ship, on ine -tarboard sive, then a second shock, then third. These shcebs were not #vfiiciently violent to cause ferious apprehension, and were thougut by some persona to be ciused by a wave breaking on tha bow ead traversing the side. However, the passengers went on deck, when, on the starborra mée of the ehip, was cia covered an iron screw steamer, without national colors, whose bow was completely torn off, and which, half sub merged fa the ocean, seemed ready to be engulohed. Captain Luce immediately ordered oue of the boats to be lowered, in which the mate, Mr. Godfrey (Gourlie), and five Of the seamen precipitated them:elves to go to ths rescue of the siranger. In the meantime ths iretic wert about in order to co-cperste in ths measures taken for the safety of the other ship. But no sooner was this manoeuvre executed than the oritical consition in which tho steamer was discovered to be, made it impera- tively wcessary for her officers to take immediate measures to secure hor safety. The bow of the strange ship struck the bow of the Arctic, a little above the cutwater on the starboard side. ‘There had been left an opening eight feot in wiitb, and five feet in height, in which a part of the stem wes in- cluded. Two other breaches, not so large, opened at small intervals near the wheelhouse, cerra:ponded to the first and second shocks felt ut the time of the col- lision, By this threefold gate, the sea entered the ship with 8 degree of violence which wes to rener all obstasles useless and all efforts fo stay its progress ineffectual. Fotile efforta were made to stay the progress of the wster. Tho passengers wore engaged at the pumps with the inten'ion to keep the steamer afloat long enough to make the land. In order that no time shou!d be lost, it was necossary that all attempts to aid the strange ship should be re nounced. She had disappeared, and every one supposed ‘that she had foundered It wasalso necessary to leave the boat which had been sent to her relief with the off cer end five men. At the momect that the ship was put about a second time, to take a new direction, a boat was dixcovoreta Jittie for ward of the larboard wheclbouse; this boat wa: filled with oight or ten men, imploring succor in a foreign language. Unfortunately it was to late to stop the ship’s headway. In less than half a minute the boat and all por passengers dirappearei under the wheels. It wasa rea sonable supposition that this boat came from tte strange vessel. But the time baa come when every one was pre- cccupied with the thought of hisown safety. Scarcely was the trouble taken to interrogate one of the string ers, who jomped on board at the moment of ths col- ision All that was learned of him was that the snip was French It was too soon ascertained that, notwithstanding all the efforts made at the pumps, the water was gaiaing with terrible rapidity, and It soon extinguished the fires From that time the thoughts of every one were turned towards such means of eafety as would give a ray of hope. +The Arctic bad six boats, suspended from tackles on both sides of the ship—two at the larboard and two at the starboord side, one on deck, amidships, and the sixth also on deck but torward. It is important to ascertain the manner in which these boats were employed and their destiny. For the sake of clearness we will designate them by numbers, in the following order:—Nor. 1 and 2 on the sterboard quarter, (astern;) Nos. 8 and 4 on the larbosrd quarter astern (d’arricre;) No. 6, the boat amidships, and No.6 the boat on deck forward. ‘The beat No.1, which was sent to the rescue of the strange versel, and which was abandoned to its fate, was mannod by the second officer (first) and five men, of whom no news has yet been receit ‘When it was proved that ‘he Arctic was unavoidably lost, the order was to launch the boat No 4, on the larboard side, near the wheel-hcuse. The boat received twenty-seven or twenty-eight persons, women, children ard passen- Ss, provided with a little biseuit and water, but with- out compass, and without a single man able to guide their course It bes been impossible to ascertain the ames of those on board this boat. It is only said that there was one French lady, ‘remarked by her dark complexion, and who was courage- ously using an car at the moment when the boat dis- appeared {n the fog. Of this one lady nothing hes since Deen heard. The boat (No. 2) faciog the one last mon- tioned was thrn lowered, and the second officer, Mr. Baahlam, west in it—not, as has been ssid, through selfish motives, but by order of the Captain, who told him, “Mr. Baahlsm, take that boat, and make of i: the best you can.’’? These words exonerate Mr Baahlam from the reproack ca which it was thought right to cast upon him from the first statements. the crew, however, seem to have forgotten their duty, ant thought only of theis own safety. The fact, a soon a8 the boast of Mr, Baahlam reached the water that seventeen sallorsfor firemen threw them nelves in it with such violence, that it was necessary immediately to cut away the tackle to prevent anup set. At the moment that the steamer was passing for- ward of this boat, a passenger, Mr. Henry Moore, pre cipitated himseli from the steamer and was received on board the bont = This brought the number 0: person. in the boat to nineteen. There remained now the fourth boat (No 4,) noar the stern, Capt. Luce put on bosrdo this boat Mrs Collins, ber children, and several other passengers. Unfortunately, at the moment of lowering this boat one of the pulleys gave way, the other re- maining entangied. The boat was precipitated nesrly per. pendicvlarly, and all who were in it, excepting three, perscns, wee thrown into the sea. At such » moment ‘8 misfortune like this was without remedy. The over. hauling of the boat, now empty, was achieved, and it ‘was impossible to regulate hor destiny. It waes gene- Fal sauve qui pent Passengers and sailors without cere- mony jumped into the boat, whicp wae in a few seconds filled MM Dupasseur, C. T Mitchell, W. A. Young, W. W Gilbert, F. de Meyer, William Gibon K. M. buss, J. Bogart, J. kennessy, J McHath, Geo. Dobbs, and Duls- qvain (servant of M. le Duc de Gramont), were happy enough to find places in tis boat. a. Jo Duc de Gramont bimeelt tried to jump, but fell into the sea, and would have immediately perished, bad it not been for his servant, who by a saperbuman offors hoisted bim on board. Dulaquais himself regained the boat by means of a rope, invi‘ing his master to follow hisexsmple, bat the boat had already got under way. Lulequais mades groat jump, and fell like an inert mass in the boat. M de Gramont did not feel strong enough to imitate him, or he would not have allowod to pass the precicus minute which separated safety from death ‘Ihe yourg duke, M. Guynet, and Mr Brown's family, wore the last persons that M. Dupssseur perosived on the ajern of the steam at the moment when the Dont passed sround the abip. ‘M.

This is the third of which we have yet to receive news. As to the raft, it is known thet it wes only the means of saving a single man. Bb Dupasseur proceeds to relste the incite ate of the voyage of the boats, endiag wiih their ss‘e “arrival at Broad Cove. It is almost identical with theststement of bir de Maeyer STATEWENT OF MR. F. DE MAEYER) PAS SENGER. ‘Ibin gentleman, after the prelude of the timo of lav. / irg Eiverpcol up to the wreck of the ship, prossedsto sayi— Op the 2tth of September, when about sixty miloe southezat of Cape Reece, as the prasengers were pro- pering to toke lunch, a slight eheek was felt on bord. ‘The fog was so thick that acthing could be seen Atty yerds off The eaptoia ordered the first Heutenant and five men to take a boat and go to the reseue of the o:her steomer, supposing from the rhock that the Arcti had sustained no damage, but that the propeller was in a sinking condition The sretic was then put on the route for the other vessel, and bad continued the search for her several minutes, when the engiacer cams to the captein—and ho was the first that informed him that a large hole had been made ip the bews of his ship. Or: ders were immediately given to throw overboard au- chors, chains and all other heavy material on board. In about forty five minutes seven feet of water was in the hold. Capt. Luce then ordered that a secon boat shold be put to sea, in which passengers, most of whom were ladies, took seats Ina few minutes after another vont was ordered to be loweret for the passengers, but before they could take possession of it, Lieut. Bashlam and eighteen cf the ship’s crew jumped into it, and out loose from the sinking vestel. At this time great confu- sion commenced on shipboard, a4 the chances for escape bow began to appear desperate. The fourth boat was then ordered to be lowered, but before letting it down to the water, the passengers were pliced in i), to secure it against the seizure cf the sbip’s crew Twenty-five pas- rorgers, of whom eighteen wore lakes, and among thom Mra, Collias, were placed in it, when one rope at the stern end of the boat gave way, hangixg it by ths bows, ond precipitating ell into the ocean, excepting two mon and Mre. Craig, who clung to the boat The lady was agrin taken on board the ship, acc the boat with the two men init, was immeately put adost. As soun aa i: was cn the water, a rush wae made for it, passengersand crow together jumping from the shto, some falling ioto |* the water and others into the boat. It was soon filled with a company of twenty-five, myself among the number, ‘and remained tora few minutes by the abip’s site. On the steamer wore still left two boats, exch cap- able of bolding fifty passengers. In about G*teen min- utes time after we put off from the ship, we fell in with the boat contaixing Lieut Bushlam end crow, which re- ceived gix of our number, myself amoug them, mting twenty five in Baablam’s boat, and leaving nineven in tho other. By acclamation Mr. Bashlam was putio commend of the two boats, who immediately stecred ia anorthwestera direation, on which courre we continued for fortytwo hours, in hope of reaching land. During tbia voyage, the two boats in the ight kept up a constant shouting. that they might keep in each other’s company. We were all this time without provisions, and shipping water from almost every sea. We were all wet through, and shivering with cold, to which were added the knaw- ings ot hunger and the terrors of starva‘ion. In this Gebcastening situation we kept up our spirits, and relied on Providence for succor and rescue. On the 28th, at noon, a sail was discovered, and immediately our boats were directed for it, but the vessel not per- ceiving us, after two hours’ rowing, we gave up the pur- suit. We again were put on our course for land by or- Ger of our commander, and about four o’clock in the af: ternoon we perceived a hermaphrodite brig. We made every exertion to reach her, but our efforts wero in vain. ‘We were then truly discoursged, and death seomed in- evitable toall. About dirk the wind changoJ, and it degen to rain. When the rain had ended, it loft us on a calm sea, but without any physicul strength to do more even for our lives. About two o’clock tte man on the look-out thought he saw land, and fancied he heard the roar of the breakers on the shore This proved tobe correct, and about four o’clock the land wes plain before us. 4n bour afterwarda, and we were all safely landed at Broad Cove, about twenty miles east of Cape Hace, and sixty miles from St. John. The only habitation pear us was a fisherman’s hat, where we were pro- vided with water and biscuit, the only provision of its tenant, Having rested here, we walked to the village Renews, about four miles distant, where we, were re ceived with open arms by the ichabitants, and every hospitality shown us. Without waiting here longer shan time enough to appease our bunger, we chartered sue fisher’s smack and set sailfor Ferry Land. At this remained two days, the weather being very ap Cn the 84 of Octoer. at 4 0’clock in the after. noon, after journey by sea and land, we arrived at St. Jobn, whore we were surprised to find the French steamer which had sunk the Arctic in the ocean, and which we supposed hed herself gore down. This steamer, called the Vesta, belongs to Grandville, s port im France, is about 240 tons burden, and had left st. Piero, Newfoundland, only twevty-four hours before the collision, baving on board 147 fishermen ands ccew of twenty sailors. The Vests was much injured, but an inver apartment at the place of tho break in hor bows, called the bull head, saved her from filling with water and sinking From 8t. John we reached this port by the steamer Furopa. STATEMENT OF GEORGE DOBBS, Mr. Dobbs, one of the second cabin passengers, who arrived last evening from Borton, gives us the follow. Dg particulars, The time of the collision, he says, was about twelve o'clock and he agrees with the other passergers in stating thet little or no apprehensions wero enter:sined abcut the safety of the vessel When the full extent of the damage was ascertained, ho as sisted in working the pumps ustil the fiemon came on deck, when he abandoned them and began ‘o look out for hin own safety Hardly an hour bad elapsed from the time of the collision before he saw Mr. Bashiam end two or three mon in one of the beats, when, to use his own words, he thought it was time to look out for himself. Seizing hold of a rope he swung himself down into the Doat, soon after which it shoved off trom the steamer. ‘There were, he is positive, about twenty-five in it, five or nix of whom were taken out of snother ‘doat, for tke purpose of I'ghtening it, and some of whom were afterwards found floating about. There were no provisions on board. and for two days snd nightse—the time it took them to reach St. Johns—they had nothing tocstor drink.
