No event connected with the recent calamity has ai’ fuesd » more generel sorro® and gloom amongst the pri vate circles in which they moved tham the loss of Mra. E K. Collins and her children. The last hope to which their friends and the public clung of the possibility of their escape, has been dispelled by the statement of Capt. Luce, and they must now be regarded ae belagamongst the many victims of that thrilling and soul hartowifg disaster. The captain states that they did not got into the boat which precipita:ed so many into the sea, but ‘were swept from the deck as the Arctic wont down, ‘With that devoted affection and union of feeling which Gistipguisbed all the members of this respected family, they clung together to the last—resolved to share the same fate—and met that fate with a courage and rosig- nation which but few of the miserablo recreants to whom their safety was entrusted had the heart to imitate. ‘When in after times the details of this fearfal catas- trophe are recounted, the conduct of noble boy who rejected a}) aid until measures were to provide for the escape of the weaker portioa of the passengors, will pe numbered amongst those instarces of disinterested heroism which deserve some enduring record, Mrs. Collins waa a moat amiable and accomplished women, moving quietly and unostentatiousiy in her sphere, but making the kindl'ness and generosity of her heart felt orcr a wide range of the poor snd deserving classes ef society) With that modesty and bumility whieh are the evidences of real worth, she dispensed the weakth which the liberality of her worthy. basdand placed at ber command, silently, and what was most to be atmired, with a judicious discrimination which re- Aected ae much honor upon the recipiout of her boun- ties as upom the generous giver herself. Although, s0- ally, miny will feel her Joss ac a well informed and ogreeadle acquaintance, there are more who will deplore it in ap interested reuse, a8 ono of the heavie # culemitios ‘that could Befall them. Mrs. Collins was returning from Europe, where she had been for the benefit. of hor health, which had latterly been materially impaire3,. anc her children accompanied her to afford her the bene. At of their fond care and attention. What bereave ment for the survivers of this nnfortunate family, 50 remarkable for the affection and harmony of fecling which united thom | Miss Collins was ovly nineteen, and was endeared to every ans by the grace and amiability of her character. Her brother was three years younger, but already gave evidence of that intelligence, Judgment and tact which have elevated his father to so high a position in the commercial world. Their sudden moval from amongst us is to be regarded not only ass severe loss to tke cic- cles to which they belonged, but to the community of which they promised to become such useful and valua- ‘ble members. THE VERY LATEST. MOVEMENTS OF CAPTAIN LUCE, Bostor, Ost. 15, 1854. ‘We learn that Capt.

[The following despatch, delayed on the Fastern wires, owing to a heavy storm Friday night end Saturday, re, fers to the report by telegraph from Halifax, published {M our evening edition on Thursday last, wherein it was stated that the French steamer Ves‘a had arrived at St. Johns, N. F., with thirty one of the crew of the Arctic— which, unfortunately, proves to have beens mistake }:— Haurax, Teuecrarn Orvice, Ost. 13, 1854. ‘We exceedingly regret that owing to the bad @f the lire on Thursday, « great blunder occwyrod in the ‘transmission of the despatch relative to the Vests. It should have read thus -—‘ The Vesta lost thirteen of her men. Fourken ef the aretio’s passengers, and thirty- one of hercrew, have arrived at St. Johns.” These ore all that we have as yet any acoount of from that dires- for with much anxiety ; and dhould the steamer Osprey toueb here om hor return from the wreck of the Gity of Philadelphia, she will probably bring four to six days later intelligence, and may de expected at eny moment alter Monday. EE Dramatic and Musical Matters, ‘The theatres generally have done s good business during the past week. At the Academy of Music, “ I Paritani” has been the attraction, and the early period which is fixed for the departure of Grisi and Mario has tended to increase the numbers of the an- dience.— Tho English opera, at the Broadway, hes drawn fall houses, The “Sonnambala” has been Played four times, and the “ Bohemian Girl” twico. ‘The mise en scene of the last named opera, ia very good. It is stated that next Thurs3ay, W. V. Wal- lace’s opera, “ Maritans,” will be prodaced, and that the composer will assume the director's baton on this: occacion——At the Metropolitan theatre, Miss Makeah concluded her engage ment of six on Satarday, with a benefit. ‘Bho played “Jalia’” (the “Hunchback’) and Juliana (‘the Honeymoon.”) The house was very thin, although Mr. Marshall and Mr. Eddy both ap- eared—Mar, Marshall as Master Walter, and Me. Eddy as Duke Aranze. Daring the week Miss Makeah has played Parthenis, Beatrice, Margaret Elmoro, Mrs. Beverley, Mrs. Haller, and the two parts above named, It must be apparent to all that ‘the course pursued by debutants should bs reformed G0 to sen ahythiag but groat talent sach parts; and the people are told that they this from novice, IC anew aspirant has har 4 sufficient to entitle her to a lead- on the stage, whe has guroly enough to play new parte; avd why not give the people new plays, or at least playa that Makeah’s Perthenia” has been previ vasly noticed. In Juliana she was crnde and uneven, and rhe needa much study ard practi e in stage business before she can take the position to which she aspires — | AS Wallach’s theatre the pretty tte drame, “The “Viokt,” bas beem played through the week to the delightment ef very full audiences. Mr. Wallack’s André is scknowledged by all “the judicious” ae as being perfect in detail, effect and finish, Miss Resa Benvett, the new actress at this house,will son sppear, and it is thought by ticee who have seen ber act abroad that she will satisfy even the rather fastidious sudience at this bouse. She made her first appearance in London two years elnce, and the papers at that time said that she fully sustained the excellent reputation previ. ously gained at Liverpool and Manchester. On her iret ight abe is said to have completely established besself in the favor of the Haymarket audience. She is younger than ber sister, Mrs. Barrow, and is sald to be a very pretty girl. She will make her first ap- pearance here on next Thuraday night, as Lady Gay Spanker. “London Assurance” will be cast as follows :—Sir Harcourt, Mr. Brougham ; Dazzle, Mr. Wallack; Max, Mr. Chippendale; Meddle, Mr. Blake ; Charles Courtly, Mr. Lester ; Spanker, Mr. Vingent; Lady Gay, Miss Bennett; Grace, irs. Hoey; Pert, Mre, Stephens.——At Barton’s theatre, Mr. Placide’s appearance has been the chief event of the week. He has played Sir Anthony in the “Rivals,” and M, Tour Dillon in “To Parents and Guerdiens,” Miss Saxon played Bob Nettles in the last named piece. The business has been, as usual at this theatre, vory good.——At Niblo’a, the Ravel Family have con- tinued to draw fall houses in “ Asphodel.”—At the Bowery, has been produced a drama called “The Old Chatesu,” translated from the Freach by Ster- ling Coyne, for the: Haymarket, London——Mr. J.

Mr. Purdy bad a complimentary hemefit lest Wednesday, and it was a very successful affair——At Barnum’s, the French drama of ‘ Eustache” has proved highly succossful, and it will not be witk- drawn for the present-—-The colored opera, both at Wood’s and Buckley’s, has not suffered, appa- rently, from the great flood of music which has been poured upon the town during the week. A new burlesque of “ Fra Diavolo” has been produced by the Buckleys. It is not so good as the old bur- lesque, but it is very well done. Swaine Buckley is very funny in Lorenzo, (albelt the partis intended to be sentimental,) and his troops were capital sa- tires upon stage soldiers generally ——Mr. and Mrs. F.B. Conway baving a short recess from their en- gegementa at the Broadway and Wallack’s, purpose making @ professional tour to several of the interior cities and towns. They are both exellent artists: —*Mr..

She was born in Manchester, of Irish parentage. Many pf ber relatives are now.eminent in the church.

Sue first played in Baston, Dac. 11, 1851, at the Howard, as“ Lady Macheth. She acted through the country and was appreciated,but not supported; she gained fame, but no fortune. She determined to return home, and acted in Boston, for the last time on any staze, at tho National, April 22, 1853, when she played the statue scene from the “ Winter's Tale,” the ¢ reen scere from the “School for Scandal,” the trial scene from the ‘‘Metchant of Veuice,” and the trial scene from ‘Henry VIII.” Another benefit was tendered her at the Howard, in May 17, but illness prevented ber from playing Emilia in “ Othello,” as an- nounced. She returned home to die of a caucer, with which she had for years been afflicted.

Seate can now be secured in the parquette and first tier, at two dollars each. Griai and Mario will soon go to Philadelphia. At the Broadway theatre, Miss Pyne, Mr. Harri son, and others of the English opera troupe, qill ap- pear in “Tho Bobemian Girl” for the third time. It is worth a emall fortune to hear Miss Pyne relate her dream and shower vocal ornaments in the ‘mar ble halls.” At the Metropolitan theatre, “Othello” is an- nounced, with Mr. Eddy, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Pope, Mrs. M. Jones and Mra. Jordan in the principal parts, A strong cast.

Nieto’s Gandes—Fanrweu or tae Ravers. — | After six nights more this company leave us, per. hapa forever. The brothers Antoine and Jerome return to Fsance, to repose with their families, af ter neatly twenty-five years active service, and we company. During the long period that this talent, 4 fami'y have amused te cttisens of New York, cbiléren have beo me men and women, and a whole generation bas passed sway; yet who can recall a atz gle instance where the Ravels have disappointed an sudience, or ofiended the public? We cannot call to mind, in the annals of amusement, any com- pany that has so steadily and uniform'y won suo- eas by honest ability. All their promises t2 the ‘public have always been fulfilled, ana with each acceding season their success has increased, even with that now about to end, which badteen the crowning triumph of their long career. During eight consecutive months they have drawn fall bouses to Niblo’s Garden, and it is a well kuown fact that on almost every evening daring that time the house, large as itnow is, has been filled to its utmost capacity. Let our readers remember that aiter this week they can enjoy the perfor- mances of the Rayelsno more, and that to see them Bow they must secure tickets early, for the demand is great. Mr. Niblo is on bis way home from Enrope, where he has completed further arrange. ments with the most attractive artists, and we hear that the Garden will be kept open during the whole year, winter und summer, without intermission. PurapsurHys—During the past week Mr. For rest haa been playing at the Walnut Street, to very fall houses. Mr. Caanfrau has finished an engage ment at the Chesnut. The “Comedy of Errors” has been produced at the Arch. Baurimors.—E, L. Davenport is at the Front Street theatre, Baltimore.

She played Julia in “The Hunchback’? on the first night, with Bennet: as Master Walter Pauncefort as Sir Thomas, J. B. Howe as Mo dus, Fiske as Fathom, and Mrs. Burrow a3 Helen. The Helen is said to have been par- ticularly good. Mr. Couldock has been playing et the Museum, supported by Miss Anna Cruise in the Yeading female parts. Mr. 0. W.

VM. ‘The past week has been without mueb change in the Stock market. A fair amount of business bas been transacted daily at the stock exchange, but prices have fluctuated but rightly, and closed yenerday at about the seme points ruling at the elore of the previous week. ‘The movéments in Erie have lately attracted more atten- tion, and there is evidently a plan in contemplation to put up the market value of the stock. The report of the committee of investigetion is anxiously looked fer, ant as it will be of a very favorable character, the effec! will of course be the saute. Many of the recent purshases of the stock bave no doubdt ben made with # view of teking the benefit of any rice the committes’s report may e106, Reading stock bas been pretty weil rustainod during the past two or throe days, ana the sales have hen quite large = It appoars to us thet there is very little margin for @ decline im thir stock, if there is’ any truth in the statements of earnings, &e. Wehave not heard much lately about the operations of the Camberland Coa! Com. pany, but presume they are doing a very progtable bi. ness. The price of eoal is well sustained, and probably will be throughout the season. All the coal companies ‘will poy well this year. The Nicaragua Transit Company are earning a great dealof money, and we belicve are making money rapidly. Its gross income is very large, beyond all doubt. Tho two rteadiost railroad stocks on the hat are the N Y. Centraland Harlem. Not mueh is doing in either of them, and they have not varied one per cent for weeks. ‘Abere has been a gradual tightening of the scrows upon fase mae throughout the past week, and the banks reverted to loans on call for the employment of their funda. While this causes considerable embarrass ment in commercial eirclen, it relieves the stook brokors materially, particularly that clases which has no fear of gadden calls, This policy on the part of the banks is caleulated to arrest the :epid outward current of specie, and stich fs their intention, Whatever tends to restrict ‘the importers in their operations, alms dirce!ly at the dificnity, und wo are desirous of secing the remedy ap- plied with great vigor and perseveranes. The ex porta tion of specie haa not been ro active during the past weok, and we Jock for asteady decline from this time forward. ‘The banks are not in a position to expand, ond we think they will show in their next report a slight contraction in discounts. The especie department will without doubt show a handsome increase. We have seen the worst of the specie ¢rain, end from the returns of imports we should fudge that our foreign trade was becoming Realthy again. We un tand that the Knickerbocker Bank will re- some business inafew days. It hae roceived all the eid it requires from the Butchers’ avd Drovers’ Bink.

It has rot mach to do im that way, but saa backing institution {tis defanct. All the pew up town bapba will be « ompelied to contract and be more cautious in their operations. The clearing bonse acts as & very stringent regulator, and so long as it acts as a conservator, no one cam justly cowplata.
