*—- TERRIBLE SCENES ON BOARD. The Elder-Dempster steamer LusitanJa from Liverpool, bound for Montreal, with five hundred passengers en board, and commanded by Captain M'Kay, ran ashore before daybreak on June 26 at Seal Cove, twenty five miles north of Cape Race, having mistaken her coarse daring a thick fog. Her five hnndred passengers have been landtd. According to narratives given by the passengers they had a terrible experience. They first became aware of the disaster through tha raeplng of the ship over the rocks, hurling them from their berths, many of them sustaining braises. The/ harried on deck In their' night clothes, and even some of the male putangttalost all control of themselves. Others, more cool-headed, retained their calm, and assisted the crew in getting out the boats. One of the boats was upset, and i'l occupants immersed. The womeii and children when brought ashore were almost naked, and drenched with the spray. They had to be literally palled up the ellffa by the coast people. Some of the brat* were demolished !c the inrf, their half-drowned wwpaats flNafbtt on to the recks, shivering and cold, smtll they wki rescued. The passengers, after waiting for hours for the dawn, on the bare MU top, wet through, and chilled to the bone, tramped for miles to tbe houses of romi fishermen, where they were sheltered AH night lona; there was a heavy sea, and . it rained furiously. PANIO-STRIOKEN FRENCHMEN. Details of the wreck from another tomce show that, there was a panic among the passengers, who were aroused in their bertha by the shock, and ran en dock half c!othe<h There were wild ehbuts of •Lower the ll feb ata, and a bedy ©£ French steerage {.aaaengers made a rush for one of the bo ts. The officers did their best to keep order and restore confidence, but the Frenchmen threatened them with their knives, and the officers wera_ com polled,to draw their revolvers in eelf defence. Several excited foreigners | scrambled ipto one of the boa 8, heed' tastily trampling tn the wompn and children in thik path. A few moments later, however, they were ignominioosly routed out by the crew with handspikes:
