THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 6659. THE L088 OF THE NEW ERA. Additional Particulars of tho Sispwreck on the Jersey Coast. & FULL DESCRIPTION oF THE VKCTINS: Up to last evening the hull of the illfated ship New Bra had not commenced breaking up, and this led ts the Delief, on the part of the agents of the unierwriters, that considerable might yet be saved if the operation of ‘wrecking was proceeded with immediately. The captain ‘nd thé remainder of the passengers, with the singte ‘exception of Amelia Dowz, came up to the city last might; no contract had yet been made by the agents for stripping the ship, although no difficulty was anticipated ‘in making the necessary arrangements. On Friday Taorning @ heavy sea carried away everything on the deck, and severely damaged the rails and mizen rigging. ‘Bhe has settled still deeper into the sand, and is now nearly covered at high water, whea the surf washes her yards and sprinkles her royal masts with spray. The Presumption that many bodies are yet hidden in the interior of the hold, is rendered stronger by circum- ntancea which develope, almost hourly, some new foa- ture of the frightful calamity. A second inter- view with Captain Henry has rendered clearer the eause to which the fearful loss of life may be aitributed, he having detailed the events of the wreck, particularia- ing those parts in which, deserted by bis officers and crew, he was left almost alone to superintend the only measure taken for the rescue of the passengers, and giving a fair reason for everything which took place on his part during the trying emergency. One hundred and forty-two of the victims have been Duried, and of these we have obtained a Cull description, taken from the Coroner's record, and subjoined for the Denefit of those persons laborirg under the sad doubt as to whether they had relatives or friends on board the lost vessel. It would he ureleas to advert to the neces- sary business-like formula with which, in this record, each person is designated by a number, and described in the most brief manner, or to speak of the fearful effect of that cold dotail in cases where it too conclusively estab- lishes the loss of some near and cherished rela As in all cases where-the mutability of human affairs has ‘deen demonstrated by some terrible visitation, so, even from the rude, stained pages of that Coroner’s register, is a great moral lesson made self-evident. ‘No. 1.—A male child about one year old; had on a red calico frock aid knit cap.
