The 'maple severally stepped tom the poop w the rock, in attempting which a few (among was Lieut. Stanley). were washed away, and dasheal with tremen • imendous force against the wreck. " Cantain Baker (after seeing the whole of the crew on the rock) tiolowed but it was now tound that the rock was insulated, .and that die rising title would cover it. The boatswain observing this, swam with time piece of litre in his possession, end. in spite or the surf, succeeded in reaching it. .and coming opposite :he rock on which we Wert; thicw the line acres i it wee found just lung enough for one to hold it on the main, and one on the ruck at' arm's length; by this hiding rosistance bet out of So who landed on the rock succeeded in gaining the main. and it i, pro bable all would, had not a man and a woman attempted to cross orgt ther. which took the line out of the man's hand on tire rock, .i.nd in the attempt to get.it buds it was washed away. Captain Baker was repeatedly regime !..c1 to cross, but every time resolutely ionised, and throughout the whole unfortunate occurrence, to to save the lives of the crew appeared to be his principal object— regardless of his own. •• Every instant the water rose and seal increased, when the cuter, and ship's crew used every endeavour, by tying handker chief's together, to make another holdfests but, praising too anon, we were soon otter reluctantly compelled to abandon Mein, ta their fate, end at day break these was not the least trace of the Entortunate suffners.

Wilt scarcely be credited, by those who have uu means of knowing the circumstance, tialt there are from one hundred to one hundred and fitly _thousand English and Irish people of property living in different parts of the Continent. Whole towns are absolutely peopled .by them. In Paris, Cie Dukes of Hamilton, with the Earls of Stair and Fife, at an expenco to themselves, or rather to their country, of 100,0001. per annum, lead the fashion to about 20,000 English persons, of a mixed character, at Versailles. Mr. Robert Williams, the member fie Carearvonshire, with his numerous and ta:ri4lle family, and several titled persons, have, for s-ohe years, taken up their residence in the neigh- Li,tirhuod of Geneva. There are 1600 English with the Duke of Leeds at their head, the lilarchionciss of Bute, and many distinguished nobles as faith sexes, at Rome. Lord Byron is at Venice. Lord Montfiird has lived some time near Bourdeoux, surrounded by about '2OOO, one half of whom are small fundholders, an•l one half Irish, of 3001. to 4501. per annum, when they can get their pi& • At Tours thee.• ore a select corps of about 4000, who pride themselves upon their tinnily con nexions in the United liingdoin. At Boulogne these arc 6000 English, 4000 of whom are entitled to seine compession, being half-pay oflieers, who can not live without wine. Prince Leopold vet y natu rally expends his 50,0001. a year among his German cousins. At Brussels, the Engli.di and Irish con regine, and there is scarcely a town or village in France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Italy, is which they are nob to be found. Croker, Secretary of the Admiralty, has keen I,ltely employed in fixing on and purchasing suitable situ:, between Portsmouth and Plymouth, on which 5.> erect semaphore signori houses, for the purpose of "ai,rying en the zonnuniestiou of the Admiralty. - .
