Shortly after 1 o'clock to-day a steamer, sup posed to be the Cawarra, from her peculiar bows and poop, was signalled to the northward. At this time a fearful sea was running, and it was blowing almost a hurricane from the south-east; the signal was made to "standoff;" the vessel appeared to steam slowly, and did not make the port till 2 p.m., at which time the sea took her near the Oyster Bank on the North Shore; she struggled with the elements for some time, and seemed as if she would succeed in getting out to sea, but judging from appearances, being very much down by the head, she must have filled forward. At about 3 o'clock she struck on the Oyster Bank and becamo unmanageable, Tue steamer was observed to turn about two or three times and she then settled down with her head to the north. The passengers and crew were seen huddled together on the poop, and some made for the rigging. Extraordinary as it may appear the lifeboat had not gone out up to this time. A few minutes after the funnel went over the side, and three men were seen in the water; at about 3.15 the fore part of the vessel was under water, and a niinute after the mainmast went over, carrying with it every living 60ul in that part of the ship into eternity. At 3.25 the foremast went, on which some three or four men were seen clinging. In a few moments not avestige of the ill-fated Ca warra was to be sen, and little hope was enter tained that any of the passengers or crew would •scape a watery grave. From the time the Ca warra struck till she disappeared only three quarters of an hour elapsed.
