Wreck of the Gen. Grant.--The ship General Grant, an A1 vessel, of 1 TOO tons. built at Bath, Me. sailed from Boston, for Australia, Nov 18th, 1865; arrived safely March 13, 1866, and left for London, May 4, 1866. loaded with wool, skins, leather, hides, horns, sundries, etc, together with 2576 ounces of gold, She bad about 56 passengers and carried a crew of 27 persons. Nothing has been heard from tho ship until the present time. On the 21st of November, 1867. the whaling brig Amherst, Capt P Gilroy, of Ivereargill, New Zealand, discovered a boat putting off from Enderby Island, the more north-eastern of Auckland Islands group, in latitude about 50 32 S, and longitude 166 12 E. The boat was picked up and found to contain ten out of the eighty-three persons who sailed in the Gen Grant over 18 months before. From these men, who had been living on an uninhabited island, and suffering all but death itself, for this period, the following narrative is obtained:--From the day the ship railed from Hobson’s Bay, Australia, on the 4th day of May, to the 11th, the winds were light and westerly, and the weather foggy. On the 13th, land was sighted, and soon after the Auckland Islands, right ahead. The vessel was then hauled on the port tack, but had hardy steerage way ; the wind was light, and there was a nasty short sea on. She stood on the port tack for nearly two hours, and during this time was setting bodily toward the land. The land on the lee beam looked like a fog-bank ; the wind had fallen away to a dead culm, and the vessel became perfectly unmanageable. What was in his power to do the captain did, but in vain, for a heavy south west swell was forcing her nearer and nearer the fatal rock. At about 1 am, on the 14th of May, the ship struck a projecting rock and broke part of it away. She then shot astern, struck another point, carried away her spanker boom and rudder, breaking the ribs of the man at the wheel. It was pitch dark, but the ship’s company became aware that she was setting into one of these immense, rocky caverns which abound on that coast. By means of lamps hung out from the ship, they discovered nothing but rocks, towering high above the masts, and surrounding them on every side. Soon the royal and topmasts and lower masts came down, successively, bringing down masses of rock, which broke the deck in pieces. At dawn the boats were got out. Two of themn were swamped and lost, with nearly all in them. Tho other two, after much peril, succeeded in finding a landing place and got safely to land, with a portion of the provisions which they had saved from the wreck. On the 16th they effected a landing at Port Ross. One of their first anxieties, on securing landing, was, to raise a fire; for it was cold and a drizzling rain penetrated to their very bones; many of them being poorly clothed, and some without shoes. They had but one lucifer match among them all; and it became almost a question of life and death, how that match should serve them. The greatest care was taken to procure kindling stuff, and to protect the precious flame when first raised; and they were successful; and the fire kindled on that day was not allowed to go out for nearly eighteen months. They caught two or three birds, gathered a few limpets, and these, with a tin of boulli were cooked and heartily enjoyed by tbe poor ship-wrecked people. The next day they discovered some old huts, which had doubtless afforded shelter for other sufferers, and gathered limpets, and killed four seals on the beach at Enderby’s Island. Their lack of clothing, and their want of nourishing food, brought on dysentery, and greatly reduced them, and caused terrible suffering. But gradually they rallied, and began to adapt them selves to their new position. They managed to catch seals enough to live on, and contrived to work up their skins into garments and shoes. They succeeded in making some salt. They found rabbits on one of the islands ; they also discovered wild pigs, which bad been left by some previous occupants of that island ; and by means of an ingenious sort of hook contrived to catch a number. They found other huts, and some tools, end finally became quite comfortably supplied with food. Still, their longings for deliverance were incessant, and they adopted various expedients to at tract the attention of passing vessels. But all in vain,--though once or twice vessels passed within sight of them,--until the time of their deliverance by the Amherst. Previous to this, one of the boats, with four of the ship-wrecked men, put to sea, in the hope of reaching New Zealand ; but at nothing has been heard from them, it is feared that they perished at sea. One of their number, David McLellan, aged 62, died on tbe island, Sept 3rd, 1867. The Amherst was discovered from the island, Nov 19th, and tbe signal fire was lighted ; but this did not attract the notice of the brig; and on the 21st tbe ship-wrecked men manned their boat and put out, to intercept the vessel, which they fortunately succeeded in doing. They were kindly and joyfully received on board the Amherst, and taken to New Zealand, where they were hospitably entertained. Among tbe lost were the captain of the Gen Grant, W H Langlin, of New York, and second officer B F Jones, of Massachusetts. The boat, which it is feared is lost, contained Bartholomew Brown, (chief officer of the Gen Grant), William Newton Scott, Andrew Morrison. and Peter McNevin ; and the date of their sailing, the 2lst of Jany, 1867. A ship-master who has cruised for years in the South Pacific, informs us that the "cave" above mentioned is a narrow passage between two islands ; that there is a current through this place which may have drawn the vessel in, if there was a light wind. But if this was the case, he thinks the breakers beating upon the rocks should have been heard when a mile or two distant, and the anchors let go. The accounts, as received, read more like a romance than ordinary accounts of shipwreck, and further intelligence will be looked for with much interest. One of the lost, a young man, belonged to Waltham, Mass.--Boston Post, March 25. ...

OTHER PARTICULARS. At a marked tree at Port Ross two slatetablets have been left, with the following inscriptions :-- " Sacred to the memory of sixty-eight persons, who lost their lives by the wreck of the General Grant, on the morning of the 14th May, 1866, on tho Auckland Islands." "Sacred to the memory of Bartholomew Brown, chief Officer; Willian Newton Scott, A. B.; Peter McHevin, A. B. ; Andrew Morrison, A. B., who started in a boat on the 22d January, 1867, for New Zealand : without chart, compass or nautical instruments." "Ten survivors rescued by the brig Amherst, of Invercargill, New Zealand, Patrick Gilroy master, 21st November, 1867." There are also left, in cases, matches, fishhooks, twine, rope, gun, percussion caps, bullet mould, flint and steel, compass, books, paper and pencils and other useful articles. The Amherst has started from Southland to search for the missing boat. A steamer is also to be despatched from Melbourne, Victoria. Is is stated that a vessel has sailed from Melbourne with the intention of endeavoring to recover the gold and cargo of the General Grant. Among the lost are Captain W. H. Laughlin, of New York, aud B. F. Jones, second officer, of Massachusetts.
