(From the Cape Argus, 17th September.) Miraculous escape of two hundred and twenty-six persons. On Saturday evening last, the transport ship Merchantman, Captain G. F. Brown, of and from London to Calcutta, with troops, put into Table Bay, for the purpose of landing the officers, crew, and passengers of the ill-fated Black-Ball Australian clipper-ship Eastern City, which vessel caught fire, and was totally destroyed between 23rd and 26th of August, in the South Atlantic Ocean, latitude 31. S, longitude 32 W. Although the Merchantman anchored by the Bay on Saturday night, she did not communicate with the authorities ashore until the morning of the following day (Sunday).. Acting post-captain Wilson then, upon learning the distressed position of the rescued passengers and crew, (who had lost all their property) sent a message with the information to the hon. Colonial Secretary, who, in reply, gave instructions that the unfortunate people should be sent to the immigration depot. Captain Sampson, the immigration agent, and Mr. Hopkirk, the superintendent of the depot, made immediate arrangements for the accommodation of both passengers and crew. Provisions of every kind that could be obtained were purchased ; although, owing to the demand being made on the Sunday, the supply, unfortunately, was somewhat limited. About twelve o'clock the passengers were landed and removed to the depot ; the women and children were placed in the central building, the single men were apportioned to the new wooden houses immediately in the front portion of the grounds, while the crew were accommodated in the side houses. Mr. and Mrs. Hopkirk were most indefatigable in their exertions to minister to the comfort of the unfortunate strangers who were so suddenly and unexpectedly placed under their charge. The rations which were distributed were small in quantity, but no more could be obtained in town. During the night, too, the single men were obliged to lie down without any blankets, all the covering of that kind having been distributed amongst the females. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the passengers were pleased at the reception they met with, and they willingly made allowances for the discomfort's of the first night. Yesterday morning, in consequence of the arrival of the colonial immigrants by the Edward Oliver, the passengers and crew were removed from the depot. The married females were sent to the officers' quarters of the new prison, which was prepared for their reception; the single men were quartered in the main barracks, the use of which was granted by Major Carruthers ; and the seamen were provided for at the Sailors' Home.
