Loss of the Captain and Seven of the Crew of the Latter. Solution of the Reported Wreek of the Steamer—Her Arrival Yesterday. Graphic Story of the Accident by a Passenger. —-—— PERILS OF OCEAN TRAVEL. Last evening the steamship Alabama, of the State line between here and Glasgow, came into Port, to the great joy of the many to whom the news of her loss, transmitted across the cable, had borne a most painful interest. In a collision with bark named the Abeona she lost one of her boats, which, drifting ashore on the coast of Ireland, at ®@ point near Tory Island, thirteen miles from the scene of the accident, and bearing the name of “the Alabama,” gave rise to the conclusion that the steamer herself had been wrecked at sea, COLLISION WITH A BARK. It is, however, painful to relate that the un- happy bark, along with eight of her crew, were lost in the fatal collision, not, as it would ap- Pear, through the fault of the steamer so much as by reagon of the mistake committed by the bark. The Alabama was advertised to leave Glas- gow on the 2d of this month, but fatied to start until the 3d. She touched ata place calied Larne, in Ireland, not far from Belfast, the same day, and lett the day following for America, According to the official log, on the night of the 4th, at 11:50, the Innistrahull light was bearing east by south one-half south, fifteen miles distant. The wind was northwest, the night cloudy and the ship steering west-northwest, making about eight knots an hour, The lookout, Donald McMillan, re- Ported a light about one anda half points on the port bow. The officer of the deck, Mr. George Hutchings, & short time afterwards got a GLIMPSE OF A RED LIGHT and ported helm. Immediately afterwards he lost the red light and put the helm hard to port along with ordering the engines to be stopped, Then he perceived a bark heading apparently up about north-northeast, crossing the bow of the steamer. Though an order was immediately given to re- verse the engines, the bark went directly into them, striking them a little on the port bow and a little abaft the bark’s forerigging. The time from the period of the collision until the bark went down is estimated to have been about four minutes, The engines were again stopped and the quarter boats, in commana of Messrs. Hutch- ings and Miller, lowered away in search of any sur- vivors. Buoys and ropes were thrown overboard, to one of which a man who was swimming close to the steamer’s slide succeeded in clinging and was picked up by the port quarter boat, in charge of Mr. Miller, Another man driited alongside on part oi the wreck and was HAULED ON BOARD. A third was rescued {from _ the bark’s boat, which was fuli of water. The steamer’s boats continued to pull in the imme- diace vicinity of the wreck for two and a half hours, but failed to discover any iurther traces of the crew. The port quarter boat was hauled up with some difiiculty, but the starboard one got stove in and was lost altogetiier, but the men who were in it were saved, The steamer remained in the vicinity of the wreck, steaming slowly around until four o’clock in the morning on the 5th. It was then daylight and clear weather, and nothing further of the wreck being in sight, and tne steamer not nario incurred any damage, they proceeded on their journey. The foregoing is the steamer’s account of the collision, ‘om mr. O. M. Cousens, a gentleman from Portland, Me., who was & passenger on board the Alabama, a more elaborate and glowing sketch of the accident was received last evening by a HERALD reporter. Mr. Cousens tells the story ff follows in nis own words, and if it pepres that he appears to make more of the affair and enlarge its terrors to a greater Cig ha than open fhe (°F of the steamer, it should be borne in min at the bravest hearts are apt to quail at anything like a Collision at sea when it occtira in the dead of night, PERILS OF OCEAN TRAVEL, Mr. Cousens says:—*“ During the day of Monday, August 4, we rounded the north coast of Ireland happily enough, beheld the bold front of the Giant’s Causeway, and considered, as we set ourselves to- wards the West that the dangerous coast of Ireland would be ere we woke at a safe distance tn our rear. Vain expectations! as the sequel will sadly show. The dark-visiged angel had already lowered his pinion to the wave and his sbait fitred to the bow. We knelt by our couches and breathed A PRAYER FOR SAFETY on the ge@and lay down in silent ignorance to sleep while danger impended in the darkness of the night. That danger came at midnight.

'The ewivels of the davits were, hewever, rusty, and the ropes choked the blocks. Other impedimeats choked our attempts, so that @ quar. ter of an hour or 80 elapsed before we succeeded in launching on the sea. Amid the tremendeus confusion that prevailed we became aware that we had struck a ship, that she had already gone down Sad tna, the endeavors vow being made were rescue any aim ers aloat dpoa illows, Di- rectly Rdite--+. tae A FAINT ORY WAS HEARD on the starboard quarter of “Throw me 4 tope!'! and we descried a bit of the wreck, clinging to which was @ lad, floating in our direction.

There now came FLOATING IN THH DARKNESS one of the lostship’s boats, full of water, but con- taining the only other survivor of the fated crew, the boatswain of the Abeona. As we lifted him on board the propeller sucked bis boat within its cur- itself and the faithful dog, which had far, disappeared from our be torever. e by one, with the same dimMiculty attending the lowering, the steamer’s boats were hoisted to their places, one of which, however, bein; full of water and thras inst the ship's atevery lurch, was smas! and, the tackles giving way, was relinquished. This boat, driiting away to the coast, only thirteen miles off, together with several lifebuoys which had been thrown, all of these bearing the steamer’s name, led to the apprehensions of the steamer's loss which have ne into.wide circulation. We called the atten- 400 to the liability of such an event, but were SILENORD BY A REMARK that we should speak some in-going craft in the morning, and send back word of our safety. In the morning we sighted no craft, and so, o1 course, gent back no word, ‘ius the accident happen. The Alabama pierced nearly half way througn er, § for hips on her starboard sid i ie te its Dihahas ft Tot an ‘tout ri] more, and, thinking her to be a tug, hoped to be tpken up the Glyde by that very means. It was the mate’s watch on the Abeona. And when ob- serving the Alabama’s light he came to the lad at the wheel and remarked, ‘A tug is coming and we shall now shortly get up to Glasgow.” It appears that the mate was not undeceived as to the char- acter of the Alabama until she was right Upon him. Then he cried out, ‘Hard a starboard! to the heimsman; but it was too late, and the bark was moving siow, so that she scarcely au- swered to her helm At the same moment the Aiabama put her helm hard aport, swinging her stern in very direction in which the prow of the Abeona at that moment commence¢e swinging. The biow followed, a blow which cut the Abeona nearly in two, and let in the water 80 that she sunk in about four minutes.

Hier @ had over one hundred passengers, a Beith cM OBITUARY. Rev. Gardiner Spring. Thia gentleman died yesterday, in the eightys ninth year of his age. Some time ago he published an autobiography, in which the following details of his life came to Ught:—Dr. Spring’s father was a personal friend of James Madison, and one or two letters of that early President are published by the deceased. One of these, dated in Sep- tember, 1812, expresses the writer’s regret at the Opposition made in some quarters to the then impending war with England. “I will not con- ceal the surprise,” writes Mr. Madison, “the pain [ feel at declarations from any portion of the American people that measures resulting from the national will, constitutionally pronounced, and carrying with them the most solemn sanctions, are not to be pursued into effect without the hazard of civil war. This is surely not the legitimate course; neither is it the language on other occasions heard from the same quarter, nor a course consistent with the duration or efficacy of any government.” Dr. Spring’s father was a chaplain in the Con- tinental army, and accompanied the expedition to Quebec under General Arnold and Colonel Burr. He was on the Plains of Abraham when Montgom- ery fell. Long aiter this, when in New York, old Mr. Spring wished to see Burr, but was advised not to call, as the latter, since the duel murder of Hamilton, had lost caste. But just before leaving the city Mr. Spring went to his son, the present Doctor, and said, “I must see Burr! We went througn the woods togetner; 1 stood by his side on the Plains of Abraham and when Montgomery fell. I have not seen him since, and I must see him before I go. The last time I saw him was after Montgomery had fallen, and little Burr, up to his knees in snow, was trying in the tace of the enemy to bring off Montgomery’s body.” So the two Springs called on Burr at his office in Nassau street, and in the evening Burr called on the Springs. He seemed to have proved a very enter- taining Visitor, though he greatly offended some of the company by maintaining that George Washing- ton was a coward, Rev, Mr. Spring died in Maren, 1819. His son arrived at lis home too late for the funeral, and had the grave uncovered that be might take a fareweil look at his father’s face. Dr. Spring also gives an interesting biography of his moti.er, The lite of this excellent woman was bound up in her children, and the record given of ner here isa record of maternal care, fondness and solicttude. Atlast Dr. Spring comes to him- self, He was the oldest son, and was born at New- buryport, on the 24th of February, 1785. He says that his ‘first recollection was his “proneness to evil.” He gives acharacter of himself worthy of an enyant terrible. “As far back as 1 can remem- ber anything,” he writes, “I can remember that [ was a selfish, wilful boy, and very impatient of restraint. AsIgrew to riper years my sinful tendencies were expressed sometimes in bold, sometimes in deceitful iorms, and I have re- marked with deep pain and humiliation that the sins I struggled against in manhood, and even now struggle against in old age, were the dominant and cherished sins of my youth, The poison rankies there still. I clearly see, as1 look back upon the past, that the natural tendencies of my mind were all on the wrong siie of the question. I was by nature a child of wrath.” It is but natural that in the next page alter this elab- orate confession of early depravity the author should declare that he “oiten wondered at the patience of God toward him in his younger years, and adored the mercy that kept him out of hell.” There is a class of confession in which @ man oiten honestly induiges, and yet which he wouid be quite indignant If others were to tuily acquiesce in. We are inclined to believe that the parents of this self- acknowledged naughty voy did not take the exag- [open view of his early depravity which he seems imself to entertain; for they hoped to make a clergyman of him, and to this end he was sent to an academy at Borwick, in Maine, the Newburyport Grammar School, and in his fifteenth year to Yale College, where ho was @ classmate o} John C. Calhoun. In 1803 young Spring “experienced religion.” He was not, how- ever, impel.ed to the ministerial work, for in his twentieth year he began the study of law, and then went to Bermuda as a tutor, remaining there fit teen months. In 1806 he married in New Haven, returned to Bermuda, and the next year he camo back to New York and proceeded with bis law studies. The decision of Dr. Spring to become a minister of the Gospel was sudden. He was leading achoir in New Haven on an occasion when Rey, Dr. John M. Mason preached on the text “To the poor the Gospel is preached.” Spring listened with profound attention—a custom, we may re- mark, by no means general among choir singers of the present day. “Never,” he writes, “did I hear such asermon. I could not refrain from weeping. Hundreds wept. Dr. Dwight wept; Dr. Backus wept like a child; Senators wept. When Tleft the church I could think of nothing but the Gospel. I crossed the college green exclaiming, ‘The Gospel | the Gospel !? I Ce I preven: I resoived, if the providence of God shoul prepare the way, to become a preacher of the Gospel.” Mr. Spring was rather reluctant to tell his de- termination to his wife. He sent her off to visit some country relatives, then sold his law books and office furniture, and prepared to to Ando- ver, When Mrs, Spring learned that she was to be a clergy map’s wife she went to her chamber and ‘And for along time; but she came down subdued indeed, but placid as a lamb, and simply said, “It is Ge over now; lam ready.” In May, 1810, after having received calls irom several New England parishes, Mr. Spring preached in the Cedar street church—now RY ler sogn after rvice received a upanimou: we iets aay ey of the old Brjck ghyrch in Beekman street. It appéars there Were some goubt to his orthodoxy. Mr. Spring entertained cer beduiie’ Views on the subject of human avility, which enibar,-%¢¢ the presbytery; and when he was ordained two vic../men were se- lected to have a plain talk with him, oh or whom declared that “the best way of curing a mai of such views was to dip his head in od ater,” Whether this eminently Christian aad oni r7 me’ rae padopted does not appear, Dr. Sprisa’s jast mission was at the church at the corner of sith avyepue gnd Tiirty-seVenth aireet.

Newport, R. I, August 18, 1873, There appears to be some strange fatality about the weather we are to have on this cruise, asit persistently’ hangs to the eastward, giving the yachts a little more beating to windward than is actually necessary for their well being, The yachts attached to the feet have pretty well all arrived here now, Yesterday the sloops Ariadne and West Wind came into harbor, and their captains reported on board the flagship. The sloops Gracie and Vixen and the schooner Phantom have not yet turned up, but they are expecved in time for tne races. Tne Phantom, it is said, is in great trim, and is now m New London getting a couple of big top- masts set up, with @ view to raising some large balloons, STARTING WITH A HIGH WIND, This morning the weather looked rather misty, and, with an easterly breeze and a high glass, it Was a matter of doubt as to how the day would eventually turn out, The yachts made gail pretty early, and at oh. 18m. sharp, the flagship fired a gun and signalied “prepare to get under way.” All hands then turned to work to shorten chain and the capstan on the sloop Vindex was spun round with a will, It was blowing fresh from the east- ward and the tide was running flood. Some of the yachts had evidently formed a pretty shrewd idea as to how it was outside, as they were engaged in reefing down the mainsail. The Eva, Tarolinta, and Clio each put on single reef in their mainsails, The Palmer was lying quietly at anchor with her private signal at halfmasi, out of respect for the memory of a near relative of the owner, who died @ few days since. The sloop Vision was also pre- paring for a tough time, and had her topmast snugly housed, and the Tidal Wave put a reef in her mainsail. SCUDDING OUT OF NEWPORT HARBOR. The second gun was fired at 9h. 80m., and shortly afterwards the fleet got under way. The Boston sloop Coming was the first to trip her anchor, and starting her sheet she shot through tle fleet and passed out of the harbor by Ida Lewis’ Lighthouse. The schooner Foam then raised her anchor, and aiter drop- ping back paid off and followed the Coming. The sloop yacht Vindex came next, showing the Alarm the way out, passing to the westward of Goat Island. The Alarm had a littie trouble getting out, as @ coasting schooner was anchored right in her way, but, by careful handling, she got clear of everything and, rounding the light- house, started for Brenton’s Reef, with her boom to starboard, After getting clear of the harbor the Vindex luffed up for a minute and then re- sumed her course, following after the Alarm. The schooner Josephine, under full lower canvas, led the way past Fort Adams, followed by the sloop Vision. The schooners Clio and Tidal Wave, each with a single recfed mainsail, followed shortly al- terwards, a few minutes abead of the Idler and Madeleine. COASTING VESSELS SEEKING SHELTER, As tie yachts were going out they met about thirty coasting schooners coming tn, a very good harbinger of ugly weather. Ihe Columbta, Eva, Tarolinta and Resolute brought up the rear of the fleet. Inside the whitewashed rock the sailing was very pleasant, but a few minutes after leaving shelter it was apparent that we were going to have all the wind wo wanted. The little sloop Coming was evidenuly of that opinion, as off Brenton’s Reef Lightship she hove to and put a reef in her mainsail, which was shortly after followed by a reef in her jib. It looked as black as thunder to windward, and the easterly breeze and flood tide had rolled up @ nasty chopping sea. Most of the schooners, after taking a dive or two, acted with prudence, and took in their fying jibs. The Josephine was foliowing after the Alarm, and as soon as they were well clear of Bateman’s they bot Juged up %& trim Al or & fitty mil beat tg windward. he little Clio was in shore, hugging along the edge of the reef, and the Foam had stayed and gone back to await the arrival of Mr, Snepnera ro a ae fia Jerk, The Tid; pretty good Weather, and, with her owney at the wheel, passed to windward of the Clio, The sloop Vindex was following after the Josephine, and the schogner Idler came next, with her foretopmast housed. OB. BEEFING UP CLOSE. The farther we got out the worse it looked, and presently the Alarm let down her mainsail, and, with all hands out on the boom, put in a couple of reefs, ‘The Josephine then passed her to wind- ward with ber lower canyas intact, but pitching bows under. The sloop Vindex, finding the sea rather disagreeable, housed her topmast, lightening her top hamper. The Tarolinta, Columbia, Made- leine and Resolute were coming up behind, making a considerable disturbance as they shoved their cutwaters through the angry sea. Little Clio was hanging to if in a plucky style, but there was a little too much sea to make it comfortable work.
