IN ccornts which are to be found in late


1eb bee papers, state that the Mammoth


ip Raron Of Renfrfyy" which sailed IRON


1t port for England last month, Is lost.


Il the 18th Sept. it appears this ship was
nXssed at sea, and was theu discharsing
3Srge quantities Of water Since that a


tAcr account states that vessel had ar
4kcd ut Isaspe, which reports that "sht saw
"a Baron Of Rcnfrew near the Grand iiahk,
&rokcn up and floating in several detached
fficccs, and that part of the crew were on
*hch. The weather at the time was 50 vio-
I'm, that no assistance could be rendered.
{7he Editor of the N. Y. Commercial Ad-
3ortiscr is Of opinion that this could not have
Been the Renfrew, but part OF the Colnm-
tus, which the reader vii! remember was
5nother " Mammoth Ship" and which sail
"a some time previous to the Rcntrew, and
VAS lost The circumstance of the Ken
3rew having been seen i'll leaky condition,
together with the report Of this vessel, rem
hers it not at all improbable that the above
statement is correct. At the time the Co
iuubu3 sailed we were of opinion that she
Gould not cross the Atlantic. Her huge
Ength would not only render her ungovcrn-
Ehblc in rough weather, but would strain her
ID such degree, when thrown across a
1wel, that her planks must of necessity be
Vent asundcr by her own weight. This palpa-
'ble idea it seems was not entertained by her
ingenious inventors. 1t might have been sup
snoscd that the loss of the Columbus would
Nave presented the fact, but it appears it did
Hot.
