Frightful Disaster on the Detroit Hirer! TWEXTV•TilBEE LIVES LOST

TIIE STEAMER E. K. COLLINS DE STRO YED BY FIRE

DETBOIT, Oct. 6.

The steamer E. K. Collins, bound from Sault St. Maria to Creveland, left this city last night between 10 and 11 o'clock, and when a little below Maiden, and nearly opposite the light house, the boat was discovered to be on fire, and before she could be run ashore, she was completely enveloped in flames, and tweutythree of those on "board were cither burned to death or drowned.

The fire broke out on the the boiler deck, and spread so rapidly that the passengers and crew, who were mostly in bed, had to escape in their night clothes. When the fire was first dis« covered the boat was headed for the shore, but before she reached shallow water the ilatncs so extended that she became unmanageable, and the stern swung round into the river, and all those on board having been driven to that part of the boat, they had either to jump into the water or peri.-h in the flames. The current at the point of the disaster set very strongly nto the lake, and had it not been for the timely arrival of the propeller Fincrty, nearly all on board would have perished.

The Captain of the Finerty seeing the light, hastened to the wreck, and had his boats all ready to let go when he reached it, and nearly all those saved were picked up by them only a few be'ng able to swim ashore, owing to the current. Some of the saved were nearly exhausted, and every thing was done that, could be to relieve them, by the crew of the Finerty, who acted nobly.

Some wretch in^ the confusion stole eighty dollars from a poor sick man, who had been at work at the Sault, being all his earnings. A purse amounting to twenty dollars was imme-j diately mode up for him.

The E. IC. Collins came out last October, and cost $105,000, and was owned by Capt. E. B. Ward. She was insured for $13,000, all in New York offices.

Awful Shipwreck!

LOSS OF

THE STEA.UKlt AKCTIC'400 I.IVES LOST I NEW-YORK, Oct. 11.

^Thc steamer Arctic had 25G passengers and 175 crew, and was run into by the Propeller, seen on the 27th ult., near Cape Kaco.

The Propeller sunk in four hours, but the Arctic remained afloat a while longer, and the life-boats were got out and rafts rigg-ed the later, however, capsized, and only 32 of all those on board were saved.

Arrival of I lie Si earner Europa,

The news by this arrival is highly interesting. Prince Ootsehikoff had inarched from Sevastopol, at the head of the Russian forces, to meet the allies, and the latest reliable advj vices say that both armies were in sight

each other, near the river Alma. This news produced great anxiety in England, and raised the public expectation to the highest pitch, as the news of a pitched battle was expected every moment. It was thought the battle is fought on the 20th of September. The Allies had sent a force into the Sea of Azof intercept the Russian transports.

The Russian fleet had been reconnoitred in the port of Sevastopol by the French steamer Napoleon.

It was confidently stated on the Paris Bourse, Saturday morning, that the contending ariny had met. and a battle ensued the French first coming into action,and the English soon after, and the Russiaus retreated with a heavy loss. If true, it must have beeu but a skirmish, and not a pitched battle.

The eighth political party in the State of New York has held its convention. The Liberty party under the lead of Gerret Smith, nominated on Thursday, William Goodall, of New York, for Governor Austin Ward, of Oneida, Lieut. Governor John C.

Mr. Clark, the Whig candidate for Governor, is the nominee of five of the eight parties, and Mr. Raymond, the Whig candidate forLt. Governor by three of them.
