Nov. 14.—"1 yesterday witne.aerl the neat heart-rending scene I ever beheld. The paesage-boet, while crossing to Fife with twenty-fives passengers on board, at the distance of elan' , a mile and a half upset... owing to the obstinacy of two boatmen, who were drunk, crowding too much sail. Though so near shore, and generally such shallow water, the sea ran so heavy, and the gale was so strong, that noes sistance could be afforded them, and every soul on board perished ! A young Newfoundland dug, belonging to a passenger, swans ashore. I cannot detail tire particulars of woo were in the bolt, my fright king so great : indeed I scarcely know how to describe toy feelings, whether they are the excess of joy or grief. perlina bath combined ;.. for 1 purchased my ticket as a passenger in the boat, but owing to the evident intoxicatien of the men, I Aright not venture. I have this moment learned that a vessel bearing down perhaps to essist the, unfortunates, a Newcastle smack, struck upon one bat of Inch Keife, and upwards of forty persons perished : We have heard continual• tidings of mischief for this last week, it blowing trent •ndous gales." The following is copied from a Chester paper: About; four yenr:, ago, a loan, posseesed of very considerable property, died, be gueuthing his effects to his daughter, in eeelitsion of his son and wife.

A few w.;.:as ago, being on her death bed, she confessed the particulars to a female friend, enjoining hernot to disclose the fact till after her death. The widow is now .decal, and application is making at Doctors' Commons to take up the. ;deceased man, which it is understood will be granted.
