BURNING OF THE GERMAN BARQUE NEW ORLEANS.

All Went well until 53 days out, mlat. 2313 S ■___■ 27-17 VV., on tho morning of the 16th Sentembo , at 4 o^clock, when the mate, GanStook charge, and he observed den volumes of smoke issuing from the after _ A,xA fianho ran aft, when he saw that KterhoW was fall of fire and smoke. He immediately closed all the hatches so ?tKwUEe draught from fanning the flames, and called the captain and all hands Tdelk Onton were then given to shorten «fl^ Boles were made in the deck, and water was forced down into tho hold ; but f. was soon found that the fire was gaining i„ thfim ranidly, and the deck became so hotthat™*?s tapontble for the crew to takuS-ni! Amongst the cargo werehve C of dynamite cartridges, and fearing rtt SESRB- "atA.fire was discovered the ship was abandoned. Tiro S the passenger Olesen, and four eeCen took^the whaleboat, and jthe mate and the four remaining seamen get into the longboat which was very oW Ind eaky. Soon after leaving the ship the flamed burst through the deck and shot hi_h hi tho air, and the masts fell over tho S with a terrible crash. The captain and mate then held a consultation as to that course they should steer; St, Helena was suggostod, but upon further considera tion it was decided to steer to tho west ward The two boats kopt well together during tho whole of the day, but at nine o'clock at night they wcro separated in the darkness and heavy squalls. The mates boat sailed all night, and at daylight the captain's boat was nowhere to bo soon. On that afternoon tho occupants of the long boat sighted a ship to the south-west, but it was too faraway to notice their signals of distress. At half-past four on tho morn ing of tho 17th, the sight of a ship to the northward was hailed with intense delight, and sho provod to bo the Scottish Bard. Sho noticed their signals; and at half-past 5 sho hove-to, and took the castaways onboard. The whole of their provisions had boon destroyed by water, and they were all thoroughly exhausted. The Scottish Bard landed them at Towiisville, whence they came-on to Brisbane.

FIGHTING FLAMES AT SEA

Xxoorience on tho Burned Maasdam. - A TYounK Captain's Bravery 'Saves the Lives of Crow and Passoagors.

The steamship Maasdam, of tho Nether lands-American Navigation Company, ply ing between New York and Rotterdam, was burned at sea last Friday, in latitude 49 deg. 40 mm. north, longitude 28 deg. west. The passengers and crow, number ing 186 persons, were all .saved, and arrived at this port yesterday on the North Gorman Lloyd steamship Rhoin, which picked them up at sea. Tho entire cargo was lost. The ship sailed from Rot terdam on October 18th, having on board eight) first-lass. passengers, one hundred and thirty-three steerage, aorew of forty: five men, and a cargo of steel and iron wire, dry goods, gin and spirits. On the morning of October 24th, at 7 o'clock, ther-ivas'acryof'? fire," and flames and smoke were discovered breaking out in tho engine-room caused by the explosion of a kerosene-oil tank.. The alarm spread in stantly throughout tho ship, and the sleep ing passengers awoke to the horrors of a fire at sea.

Capt, Van den Zee ordered the men to the hand-pumps; the steam-pumps were set to work, and streams 'of water flowed into the engine-room. Every hatch was battened down to prevent draught. The engines were slowed down, but it was impossible to bring the ship before the wind on account of tho suffocating smoke and fire-damp. The flames gained with teiriblo rapidity, ond smoke burst through every crevico from stem to stern, and the deck heaved as if about to burst from the pent-up forces beneath it. Second Engineer C. Zickman stopped bis engines and opened the safety valves before he left his post. The flames licked his face and singed his _alr.''Third ' and Fourth Engineers W. Legland and W; Yerinatt were also burned doing their duty, and barely escaped with their lives. By this time the fire had cttught in the boilor-roem. The Barnes reached the feed pipes of the steam pump and melted thonu* * Fresh men were put to the hand-pumps, but the stiff wind blew across the ship, and smoke and flame covered the boats on tho port side, threat: eningi them with destruction. Captain Van den Zee ordered them to be lowbred and equipped with food and water. The terri fied passengers, seeing this action, rushed for the boats, but the Captain threw him self before them, and ordered them back. Horror-stricken, helpless, and despairing, they obeyed. Mothers held thoir babies frantically to their breasts, husbands and wives clung fondly in each other's arms, brothers and sisters embraced and whispered hurried farewells—all ex pected to part for ever. The hungry flames roaring on one side, the raging sea on the others it was an awful moment. Only the coolness of" captain and ere* averted a ter rible catastrophe. With encouraging voice and helpful action they strove to calm the fears of the people and keep thr _ back till the last chance of- saving the Ship should be.swept away. • .• ■ . ■;-• At noon tho tiros in tho engir.eJj|Myjj|L put out, but tho whole after spar-T^J^3 in flames, and the coal, was burniii e -',GJ. Holes were cut in the upj erdeck and efforts were made to throw some of the cargo over board, but the,smoke prevented it. The fire gained every moment, and at 2 o'clock the hand-pumps gave out, the suction !»ose being burned, leaving only the fore pump. The deck burst in several places, and threatened instant destruction. At^2.3o Captain Van den Zee, deciding that nothing more could be done,' ordered down the re maining boats. In good order the passen gers left the ship, the cabin passengers going first, followed by the steerage and crew. The captain was the last to go, It was 4 o'clock when he left tho deck ; not a life had been lost. Before separ ating, the officers of each of the six boats wore ordered to remain in the neighbourhood of the ship, as the flames would be most likely to attract the atten tion of passing vessels. Tho mammast1 fell at 6 o'clock, and at 7 theforehiasfwas seen to go by the board. The sea was rough, but theboat€ lived through it, and at 9 o'clock the lights of a steamer gleamed out or the darkness.. It was.the?Rhein, and -dan.jsftery, soul that, had left jthe Maasdam was on" board. The passengers saved : nothing : but the clothes they wore, their money, and their railroad tickets.- Capt. Vari'den Zee is thirty years bid, a native of Rotterdam, Holland, and has followed the sea since boyhood. He was promoted from First Officer of the Edam five months ago to Captain of the Maas dam.—N.

To the Editor: Sir,-When tho city magnates are applied to to do a street their reply is, priority. I thought that they we.'c above suspicion, but as people have no business to think why, I find I am mis taken. Now to the point. Some eighteen months ago they began to form Lincoln street, and like all their works partly done, they next began Vermont-street. To ; my surprise, this morning I find them, through tbeir servants, working at Vermonfestreet, and Lincohi-street left.
