THE SAVED, Rey ery ae ‘The Human of yesterday announced the most calami- ‘tous shipwreck that has befalien any vessel since the loss ef the steamsliy Central America on her passage from Aspiowall to New York in September, 1867.

The steamer was bound on ep excursion up Lakes Michigan and Superior. Till near awn on Saturday morning all went well aud merrily. ‘Moe saloon was then the scene of music, dancing and general festivity. Whoon board that steamer, in her Drilliant saloon, joining in the mirth and jollity of their last festival, and enjoying the delights of the popular and graceful Terpeichorean art, imagined for a moment that i ‘The steamer Lady Elgin left the harbor of Chicago at hbalf-past eleven o’clock on Friday evening last for a plea- sure excursion to Lake Super: ior. There were about 250 excursionists from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on board, and among them the Union Guard of that city. About half. past two o'clock this (Saturday) morning, the schooner Mugesta, of Oswego, collided with the steamer when she was about thirty-five miles from Chicago, and ten miles from land. The collision took place at the midships gangway and on the larboard side of the steamer. The two veesols separated immediately afterwards, and the schooner, having ber sails set and the wind blowing fresh- ly, drifted from the steamer ‘very soon. When she ool- Ma on occurred there were music and daneing going for- ‘ward in the prizcipal cabin. Instantly after the crash of Collision both ceased, and the steamer sank balf an bour after. Passing through the cabins I saw the ladies “pale, motiénices and silent. There was nO cry, no shrirk on beard, no sound of any kind but that of the escaping steam and eorging waves. Whether the ladies were tilent from fear, ‘Or were not aware of the imminent fate which they stood quietly ewaiting, I could not for the purpose of examining ‘teelf known; but there were say. A boat was lowered the leak, which soou made ‘only two oars to row it with, and unfortunately at that moment some one had taken posrerejon of one of them, and the boat wag consequently useless. We succeeded in reaching the larboard wheel once, wherein the leak was, but were soon driven from it by the fury of the waves, and washed ashore at the vil- lage of Wimetka. There were only two other boats on the ateamer. One of these took thirteen persons from her, ‘all of whom were saved. The other boat took eight per- sons, but only baif that gumber reached land alive, the other four being drowned on the beach when the boat drifted there. The rush of E Py g i 4 water through the teak of them will probably be washed ashore in the vicinity of Winetka.

Mr. Blumap, second mate, states that at about half-past two o’clock a squall struck us; five minutes later saw the lights of the vessel off port bow; sung out hard a port; no attention was paid to It, and struck just forward of the paddle bdx, larboard side, tearing off the wheel, and cut ting through the guards into the cabin and hull, We ‘were now steering northwest by west, a point to wind- ward. Our course at that time was northwest, After striking us the vessel hung fora moment and then got clear. I went below to see what damage was done, and when I got back the vessel was gone, When the intelli- gence of the loss of the steamer with the excursion Party reached Milwaukee yesterday, it spread like wild fire throughout the city, The telegraph office was thronged all day with relatives and friends of those on board. SOME OF THE PASSENGERS. GEN. BEST, OF MILWAUKEE. ‘This gentleman left Milwaukee on the Lady Elgin, in her up trip for Chicago, in company with his staff, the Black Yagers, and the Union Guard, a Milwaukee rifle company, and was expected to return with the exoursionists on that steamer on Friday night. He is, therefore, probably one of those who were lost. Mr, Best is one of the loading German citizens of Milwaukee, and is deservedly popular amongst the large number of Germans in that flourishing city, and is noted ag the brewer of the best lager beer to be found in that market. Im all the lager beer saloons of the city can be found a placard announcing that they have ‘‘ Best’s lager beer for sale.” It is, in fact, sought after there by everybody who drinks that beverage. Other brewers often find it necessary to label their beer “ Best’s” to find a market. His death will be mourned by a large circle of friends in that city. HERBERT INGRAM, M. P., OF LONDON, ENG. Herbert Ingram, Esq., M. P.,of London, England, and his son, also named Herbert, it will be seen by referring to the list of those who left the Tremont House, Chicago, to take passage in the ill-fated steamer, were among passengers. The son is probably among the lost, as mame does not appear in the list of the saved father, who is the proprietor of the Mustrated News, is, therefore, this day lamenting the unti death, as no doubt many other parents also are, of his son. Mr. Ingram was originally a poor man and a mechanic, About twenty years ago he started the Iustrated Lon- don News. It was at this time that the illustrated papers firat began to appear, and owing to the energy and judg. ment which Mr. Ingram bestowed upon the Jidusrated News, it succeeded, and got the start of @ve or six com- petitors which made their appearance about the same time in Loudon. Sinee the starting of the pictorial paper ‘Mr. Ingram’s career has been one of unbroken prosperity, ‘and everything he bas put his hand to of any importance | has succeeded with him. He has now a large landed pro- perty ; his paper is returning bim a princely income, and | he is a man who bas established for himself a very high position In society. ‘The loss of his son in the Lake | Michigaa steamer bas been the first check red Many who presented despatches were in tears, and the | most intense anxiety and excitement were manifested in ‘the countenances of all.

He was foremost in confronting the danger | and earnest for the safety of the passengers. He was drowned within a hundred feet of the shore.

Th's gentleman, it appears, bad the, il! fortune to share the fate of most of the passengers of the Lady Eigin. Mr. Lumsden was North Carolinian by birth, and over fifty years old. He went to New Orleans some thirty years since, where he worked at frst asa printer, til! he entered into'partnership with Geo. W. Kendall, who aided him in establiehing the New Orleans Picayune, one of tho moet prominent Southern papers. His connection with the Picayune continued till the accident to the Lady El gin terminated his life, He was not much given to tra- veiling, though occagioually he took,am inland tour for the recreation of bis bealth and strength. Mr. Lumsden bat his ‘wife and son, the latter a smart lad of fourteen, with bim on board the Lady Figin, and it t# feared that al! have met a common, lamentable and gloomy fate. Latrerty change has taken place in the direction of the New Or. jeans Picayune, in consequence of whieb hie participa tion in the mangement and control of its business has been more limited than formerly.

An article published in to-day's Constituionnel (semi-official) states that the greatest good will aud ac- cord reign between France and Austria. This ia delu sive. Iam well aware that to the representations just made by France Austria bas returned most peaceful and accommodating replies, but we all know ho vy muck depen- dence can be placed upon the promises of Austria: wit her, needs must; she bas no other couree left. She must attack Italy; otherwise she becomes a bankrupt in at- tempting to keep up such a force as ie now in Venctia One thing I} know from positive information. A short time since this government discovered, through the agency of some very patriotic bat very imdiscreet Austrian diplo- matists, that Francis Joseph meant to go to war again in Italy at a momeat’s notice. The consequence was the Emperor Napoleon made some very energetic representa tions to Prince Metternich, the Austrian Ambassador at this court, who, of course, tracamitted these representa- tons to hia imperial master. Austria at once gave way. But no one more than Napoleon [II. knows how litte pendence may be piaced upon Austria’s keeping her word.
