"PERILS OF THE OUHAW. Arrival of a Bark eadinad from Bromea= Perilous and Remarkubie Voyage—The Ren cue of Forty Shipwrecked Mariners, Crews ef the British Bark Cuthbert and Ship Hie bernia from Quebec, Foundored at fen. ‘The winter passing has been more prolific than any known for years in the number of disasters on the sea. The great terrors of the ocean, with its sadness, its privations, sufferings and aeaths that at times are the lot of those who go down to the sea as @ matter of business and pleasure, have a vivid realization in the foundering of the steamship Hibernia and the stories of the crew and Passengers who took to their boats, five tn number, the fate of three of which is alone known, It was thought—having circumstantial news of the missing thirty-eight passengers in the following paragraph, copied from the London Shipping Gazette of Satur- day evening, the 9th of January, Liyanroot., Jan, 9.—The Hannibal, Captain Gyles, arrived hore thie mors ing, from Ceara a December ne’ On Dee cember 30 spoke the, bark ‘aupetica, for New: Yorks lat &2 8 north, ton. 3056 west ‘Had on board the shipwrecked crew and passengers of th O atoumahip Liberals (thirty-eight men), ome that, pop a run of great suffering in amalf boats, the wretched persons, male and female, whose soul- harrowing experiences would be a frightful varra- tive, wore daved; but the arrival o1 the bark America in question, Captain Kaper, in this port yesterday from Bremen, with seven passengers, after a voyage of unprecedented length (seventy-five days), dispels these pleasant anticipationa, yet her voyage has been a wonderful one ant is remarkable as @ painful nar- rative, ‘Vhey have been instrumental, although the safety of the steamship Hibernia’s passengers cannot be chronicled, of saving forty shipwrecked men, con- sisting of the crew of the bark Cuthbert, of Greenock, from Quebec to Liverpool, and the crew of the ship Hibernia, of Dubitn, from Quebec to Queenstown, both of which were wrecked, the latter betng saved by the former, and then tn turn having foundered, The circumstances of despair and dan- ger through which they bave pussed, fresh ln thelr minds, and their accompanying lerrors, were well told, yesterday by Captain Kaper to the representative of the HxKALD, when he boarded his bark several mies beyond Sandy Hook, in the teeth of a fresh gale from the northwest. “No, sir,” said the captain; “I have not any of the passengers of the steamship Hibernia, and the cap- tain of the brig Hannibal, from Ceara for Liverpool, is all wrong. He spoke me on the 30th of December, latitude 42 deg, 43 mip., north longitude 30 deg. 25 min. west, and I distinctly told nim that I had forty shipwrecked persons of the bark Cuthbert and ship Hibernia. 1 cannot imagine how the error occurred, and 1am only too sorry that the report which you have shown we should have raised the hopes of so “many only to be overthrown, to be supplanted by despair.

And 80, at last, tt must be held that the mystery surrounding the missing passengers of the steam- ship Hibernia is solved, painfully so, We fear that they are lost; that they “sleep — their last sleep,” and the sympathizing ges 4 of the civilized ‘world must know that untold sufferings they have met their fate bravely and truly, and we opine that the traces (shoul they be rescued or thetr deaths be known) will never indicate that in the iast extremity they never forgot their mahhood or preyed on one another. The party of generous hearts that Amertoa holds, who carried succor to the lost ones and consolation to the living, deserve the hearty thanks of mankind, and long may it be the prayer of li meu that saci nobie souls _— ever live!

The programme of last night’s concert was as follawa:—Symphony, ‘Re- formation,” Mendelssohn, first time by the society, Andante, Allegre con fuoco, Allegro vivace, Allegro maestoso; Concerto, 19 A major, for the violin. Ole Buil, Allegro maestoso, Adagio, Sentimentale ¢ Ron- do pastorale. ilerr Ole Bull. Part 2. Two parts from unfinished symphony, Schubert. first time by the society, Allegro moderate, Andante con moto; Polacca guerriera, for the violin, Ole Bull, Reci- tativo, Adagio, amoroso e, Polacca gaerriera, Herr ‘Adagio, Allegro. The “Iteformation’ spmpuony which Adagio, Allegro, The ion’ 'symplony which was 30 favorably received at the drat production bs Steinway Hall ast season, Theo- re Thomas, was §the feature of its programme fast night. It was composed by Mendelssohn, in the year 1830, for a festival to colebrate the mtd hun- onfession. Although the ed Was disappointed tn not having it played on there! occasion, he took more in- terest in it than probably any of his other produc- tions. Long after his ‘death this symphony has be- come the reigning favorite in Europe. The cause of its long suppression was the avarice and narrow- mindedness of speculators, who have got, unfor- fortunately, too many of the posthumous works of Mendelssohn, Schubert and Schumann into their hands. We hope that the “Reformation” tbi= parsed will now be a feature in orchestral col every season, for it is a gem of undeniable value. 2 The nore of the opening andante is a true poem itself. ‘Tenderness and delicacy of sentiment are breathed in every measure and the loveliest strains of har- mony rise and fall on the ear like echoes from dream- oe A trumpet ie tate ee the calm, and an alegro con fuoco, boisterous and harsh, with something of the Schumann spirit about it, follows. ‘The next movement of the symphony 1s one of those delicious little scherzt which Mens hn alone has left us.

A ripple of the wind instruments, @ dialogue of the bassoons, atrillof the fates, a tremolo of the ‘ceili, and then a universal ha! hat from the entire orchestra.

CONCERT OF THE ORPHRON Sociery.--Mr. Jerome Hopkins gave a concert iast evening at the Apollo Hall, in aid of the Orpheon Society's Free Choral School. The programme was exceedingly attractive, the attendance good, and it is to be hoped the re- sults will prove satisfactory. Mr. Jewett’s song, “A Father's risa Was. loudly applauded, and the manner in which Miss Rokoh! performed the rano solo from “Robert le Diable” was highly creditaple.
