The GJohe'givca the story^of the last trip;of the Allan steamer "Cir-> cassian,," as told by a passenger -We.glean the! following : She left Liverpool on Thursday, 2nd March ; on ordinary^times she should have lift Moyille on Friday night on.her Outward trip, but tho stormy weather which prevailed at the very outset, delayed, bor until 'Saturday morning at eight o'clock. Some idea of the unpropitious state of the weather may" be gathered from the'fact (that she did not sight Tory Island Lightho.use until eight o'clock thaf;: m'gbt, thus requiring twelve hours-for-a portion of the trip which is jusuaUy accomplished! jn four and'^ne-half hours. Tlie1 mail side-paddle steamer from Lon-r donderry was unable-tQ board her owing to thei heavy sea, and the' mail matter lud, on that account to be; sent down afterwards by a screw steamer. .
