JACK FROST'S LECTURE; OR, A SKETCH FOR rHE SKATERS. In Snowball-road, not far from Winter-square, Staves Skater's Hall— a very fine affair. And here, for years, while many a form has shivered, Jack Frost his annual lecture has delivered. So being fond of skates , as well s as t rhyes (For poets condescend to skate times), I purposed that when Jack should lecture next, I'd go and listen how he used his text. The time arrived, and posters on the wall Announced Jack Frost's address at Skaters' Hall. So in I went, with half-a , guinea ticket, And got a sitting, just in time to pick it. The Hall was shortly filled to suffocation, And every one appeared in expectation. But thougk we thus were jammed, as in a vice, Each auditor appeared as cold as Ice. At length the learned lecturer arose, While greeting hundreds, stamped tingling toes ; And wishing all to know what there I heard, I copied down the lecture, word for word. "Ladies and Gentlemen," said Master Jack, " I chiefly dwelt on skates a twelvemonth back ; But now I really think I can't do less Than let yon know my thoughts on SKATING DRESS. Dress is a most essential thing in skating, To say 't,is not, would be but useless prating. MOSES and SON, who charge a melerate price, Have most superior clothing for the ice. Clothing in which all skaters should equip, 'Who wish to thaw the evils of a dip. No fear of water giving cold," said Jack, " With MOSES' Waterproofs upon your back. I'm glad this amphitheatre discloses Such qualities of skating.coats from MOSE', I see," said Mr. Frost from where he stood, "You're like the Lord Mayor's Fool—you know what's good ; And none of you, I find, have been such fiats, . As not to purchase MOSES' SKATING HATS. Yes, Skating Hats —you'll understand the term, Fitting, elastic, waterproof, and firm ; The qualities on which I'm now dilating, Are strongly tested in the sport of skating. Added to these, you need, in such pursuits. Those valued needfuls—MOSES' SKTING . With Boots like these, A in every ßOOT sensa S first-raters, Ysu cannot fail is being splend d skaters ; Besides, the leather and the make are such As any gentleman would value much. Ilto Penetrating snow, no drenching damp Can find access to give the feet the cramp. I've also thought of many things worth stating, Concerning MOSES' HOSIERY FOR SKATING. Of course you know, that for a moderate price, You'll get those choice etceteras for the ice ; MOSES and SON supply the very best Of Neckerchiefs and Gloves, and all the rest; And, furthermore, I would assure you, Sirs, That MOSES' sell the choicest SKATING FURS. I'm sure," said Jack, " that all the ladies present, On whom I can't help looking rather pleasant, Will patronise that Mart, whose Fur goods warm, Protect the fair ones from each wintry storm." With this the lecturer politely bowed, Amid the cheering of the assembled crowd. E. MOSES and SON beg to call the attention of Emigrants to their low lists of outfits, commencing (including every necessary) at 75 5., lower if required. The list can be had on application, or sent Post free. Notice.—A New Department far the sale at Parasols and Chil dren's Dresses has been opened at 157, Mineries. E .

BY SAMUEL LA'.IIIERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. ii order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in hew many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always Wisdom ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. -This work contains an accurate and complete aceoues ur tee Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early lite or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequence, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of liseale, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the tnedical man who can show by hi., posse tsion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice fer many years is a snarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un eomprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper.

The Hero of Fraserburgh then came in sight, about two o'clock F.M. and attempted taking our harbour, but was . driven past the m o uth o f it on t h e roc k s a t th e back of the baths, and in a few minutes became a total wreck. All the hands were saved except one man. About three o'clock, P.M., a cry got up that the Greenland vessels in the North harbour had broken loose, and were dashing on each other, when a great many went in order to 8, cure them, and we are sorry to say, a good num ber never returned. The sea was breaking over the Not harbour with awful violence ; one heavy sea swept a great many into the harbour, a number of whom succeeded in getting out ; but, melancholy to relate, fifteen have since been taken out lifeless corpses. The exact number missing our correspondent has not as certained. From the dock to Bell's curing yard is one mass of wreck and ruins, the sea having carried away the wall, and all the curing stations. Then, - about six o'clock, r.ar., the-schooner London of this port struck on the Horse Back rocks. The men were all got off safe; but she has since become a total wreck. And this morning it was discovered that a brig had been driven ashore near the Rope Work. She is supposed to be the Scotsman of Aberdeen, and it is to be feared all hands are lost. We hear four vessels are wrecked between this and Slains, one of which is the Effoit of Sunderland. BODDAM, JAN. 10.—About nine o'clock this morning, two schooners and a brig appeared near the land. The brig went down about three-quarters of a mile south from Buchanness, and one furlong off the land. She was a brig of about 140 tons—white paint streak and figurehead. At the time she went down one or two men were seen on her quarter ; three or four in the boat. The fragments of the boat came on shore about half an hour after. The stern had no name, either of master or ship. It was an old boat—fir plank, outside black, inside brown red, gunwales light blue or leaden grey. A large vane or small burgee of red woollen, containing the half of the letter S in white cot ton, came ashore. The schooners came into Peterhead bay about two P.m., and went on shore. A brig, with seven men, reported lost at Crucen, at tea A.M, thought to belong to Aberdeen. The schooners are reported to he the Katherine, of Aberdeen, and Hero, Fraserburgh. The wooden bridge at Buchanness light-house has been swept away, and a serious breach has been made in the pier at Boddam. JAN. 11th.—Cast on shore to-day, a half-length figure head, blue bonnet, red coat, white collar, black handker chief with sailor's knot, red sash over left shoulder. Part of a board, Sco-- Abe—. STONEHAVEN.—On Wednesday we were visited by a very severe storm. The beach that bounds the eastern part of the New Town has been completely flattened, and some of the projections on the western side of the water-course much injured. During the night, the jetty immediately adjoining the New Pier was broken down, and it is foared that the next tide will render it a com plete ruin. JOHNSHAVEN. Early on Monday morning, the schooner Mansfield, of and for Aberdeen, Leslie, master, laden with coals, haring lost her foremast, was in the heavy gale from the south-east driven on the rocks below Brotherton House, and has become a total wreck. The crew succeeded in saving their lives in the ship's small boat. BERVlE.—Daring the heavy gales on Wednesday, the sea, being much agitated and a stream tide, made a con siderable inroad on the low-lying fields in the neighbour hood. Nearly a hundred yards of new wall, enclosing the parks in front of Haligreen Castle, were broken down and swept away. NAVAL INT bLLIGENCE. On Saturday last we gave, with more confidence than we expressed in previous notices, the name of the Earl of Clarendon as First Lord of the Admiralty. It would appear, however, that Ireland having been again the " chief difficulty" in the ministerial arrangements, the Cabinet have decided on appointing the Right Hon. Francis Baring, M.P. for Portsmouth, to fill the vacant chief seat at the Admiralty Board.—Herald. OLITUARY.-Our obituary of Saturday contained the death of an officer whose name has been for many years associated with, as his services have been most advan tageous to, the numerous charities connected with the Royal Navy. Commander Joseph William Basalgette (1814) was a lieutenant of June, 1806, and was the 27th senior commander on the list. He was severely wounded when lieutenant of the Resistance, on the coast of Spain, in 1809; was senior lieutenant of the America, on the coast of Italy, in 1813. Gazetted 1813, and twice in 1814. He was in the receipt of 1502 pension for wounds, and had received a pecuniary grant from the Patriotic Fund for his gallantry. By his death Commander John Harvey (1819) succeeds to the 108. per diem half-pay list. We regret also to announce the death of Lieutenant Richard M`Kinley Richardson (1842), who commissioned the Pluto steam-sloop last February, and proceeded in command of her to the coast of Africa. He died on his passage home in the Rapid, on the 2d November, in the Bights of Benin. He had invalided from his vessel in consequence of an attack of jaundice, but his death re sulted from apoplexy. He was tilt) son of Captain Richardson, of Gosport, and was a gallant and highly promising young officer, having been promoted from mate of the Sulphur on being officially reported for his services on the coast of China, including the taking of Canton. His remains were committed to the deep with much sorrow. COAST GUARD A PPOINTREENTSe—LieII tS. William Wynne Eyton, to North Yarmouth Station, vice Roberts, promoted ; R. Cotgrave, from Greenway station to Stonehouse Point, vice Haines, promoted ; Bartholo mew Jeffery, from Newhaven station to Greenway, vice R. Cotgrave. The remeval of Lieut. John Richards, from Dines station to Pembroke, previously announced, has been cancelled. S UPERANNUATIONS AT DEVONPORT DOCKYARD.— Richard Davey, leading.man of caulkers, 341. per annum; Joseph Herbert Thomas Cross, and William Hoskins, shipwrights, 241. each ; Thomas Cousins, painter, 241. ; Edward Laundrey, millwright, 241; and John Pengelly, sawyer, 201. per annum. THE MOORISH PIRATES.—The Admiralty have or dered a deck launch to be built for the Janus, steam sloop, to be commissioned by Lieutenant Powell, to be propelled by a 4-horse engine's high pressure. When the Polyphemus's services are required at Gibraltar this boat will be detached for cruising on the Barbary coast for the protection of the merchantmen. The Arrogant, 46, steam-frigate, has been taken alongside the sheer's jetty at :Portsmouth, to have her jury-gear and masts taken out, and to receive proper masts and yards. Although her armament is ex ceedingly heavy—viz., carrying on her weather deck two pivot guns, 68-pounders, of 95 cwt. each, with sixteen 32-pounders of 35 cwt., and on her main deck twelve 8-inch 56-pounder guns, and sixteen 32-pounders, of 56 cwt. each—in all, 46 guns—she could with ease carry all the guns on the main-deck of 8-inch calibre, having plenty of space and room to work them, and in this case she would be the most formidable frigate of her class that ever swam. A court martial is ordered to be held at Devonport, for the trial of Captain Sprigg, late of her Majesty's brig Ferret, on charges, founded on the depositions of the master of a Brazilian slaver, forwarded to the Govern ment through the Governor of St. Helena, and the Com modore of the African cruizing squadron, alleging cruelty and ill-treatment of himself and crew at the hands of Captain Sprigg. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 13.—The Superb's hull has been accidentally discovered to be in a very unsatisfactory state. One of the caulkers working round a trcnail found the substance beneath rather yielding, and on giving another smart blow, the iron went right into the heart of a floor timber. A report thereon has been forwarded to head-quarters, but no order in consequence has yet been issued. It is much feared that there are many parts of her hull equally bad. No proof of such a thing has been made, as the usual practice of boring for unsound places has not been permitted in the pre sent instance. The Sharpshooter, steam•schooner, Lieutenant-Com mander J. C. Bailey, returned from her fishing cruise off the Sussex and Kent coasts last night. It is under stood she is to be. prepared for foreign service. Her late pilot, Burnett, is ordered not to be employed in future in any of her Majesty's ships or vessels. Wind, W. by S., strong gales and hazy, with rain. [PRICE SD. THE ARMY.

ROYAL MARINE ARTILLERY. Although this force has been most judiciously aug mented, yet the accommodation of barrack room has never been sufficiently adapted to the increase. The Marine Artillery barrack is only intended to accommo date efficiently 360 men, or thereabouts; and yet it is made subservient to the wants and requirements of a large portion of 1,500! It has been customary to quar ter 100 ( r so at Fort Cumberland (an excellent placer, which might be easily adapted for the accommodation of the whole force), to relieve the burdens upon the Gun whatf Barrack; and, latterly, because that number has been exceeded by 100 or so , the surplus are now order ed into ed into barracks which cannot accommodate them; so to berth them the rooms must be " doubled"ouwbied" be tl h l occu pants, double-bedded, where they wer© “a fore, and so on. The result of this most unhealthy days measure will show itself one of these in some frightful contagion, and then the present highly impro peri by more salutary barrack-packing system n garrisons will be super sededand sanitary measures for the health and comfort of t he marine and soldier. GENERAL ORDER. Referring to the general order of the 3d November last, his Lordship the Master-General has been pleased to appoint Captain George Sandham to be Brigade Major to the Royal Artillery in Canada, from the is; January, 1849.

The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's ship Great Western, Captain William Clark, is appointed to sail on Wednesday next, the 17th, with the West Indian and Pacific mails, in charge of Lieutenant Scriven, R.N., Admiralty Agent. The Great Western takes goods and passengers to San Juan Nicaragua, and Chargres; from the latter port they are conveyed overland to Panama, and transferred to the Pacific Steam Navigation Company's ships, rein ing between Panama, Valparaiso, and the intermediate ports. There will also be shortly established a line of American steamers from Panama to San Francisco, California, the first ship-of-the• line having been dis patched from New York in time to take up her station in the month of January. We understand that the Great Western will have a full number of passengers, many of them probably proceeding, via Chargres and Panama, to the gold regions of California. From the number of inquiries made by letter and otherwise, at the West India Mail Company's office in Southampton arid London, and from a different class of persons from those generally applying, desiring particulars of the lowest amount of passage-money, rates of freight, &c., to Chargres, and as to the nature of the route thence to California, it is quite evident that the gold fever is not yet on the decline, and that the number of El Dorado seekers leaving this port will not be few. A shipowner here has also advertised a first-class clipper barque, of 250 tons, to sail from Southampton, for San Francisco direct, on the Ist of February, should a sufficient number of passengers and a good freight offer by that day. The homeward West India❑ and Mexican mails, due on the 22d inst., will be brought by the Teviot, Captain Rivett, or the Forth, Captain Sturdee. The steamer Severn, Captain Vincent, which left here on the 2d of January with the West India and Mexican mails, will call off Mobile Point instead of Ship Island, New Orleans, and the Gulf steamers will in future substitute Mobile for New Orleans for the land ing of the mails outwards and homewards. This altera tion has been agreed to in consequence of the unfavour able navigation of the river up to the latter city. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Jupiter, Captain F. Meehan, with the Spanish and Portuguese mails, will be due on the 14th, and may be expected on Monday. The Iberia, Captain C. F. Bur ney, will take out the mails of the 17th to Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar. The Indus, Captain J. Soy, will leave on Saturday next, the 20th, with the East India, China, and Mediterranean mails; the Ripon, Captain R. Moresby, 1.N., will bring home the same mails, due on the 25th instant. Mail steamers in dock, West India—The Medway, the Great Western, the Thames, and the Eagle. Peninsular and Oriental— The Indus, the Euxine, the Iberia, the Montrose, and the Madrid. A return from the customs of Southampton exhibits the satisfactory fact that, notwithstanding the general de pression in the commerce of the country during the year 1848, the trade of Southampton during that period has again increased, as compared with that of the previous year. In 1847, the number of ships entered inwards and outwards with cargoes was 903, of 231,796 tons; and in 1848 there were 961 ships, of 260,493 tons, being an in crease of 58 ships and 28,697 tons. In addition to the above, there were from and to foreign countries, with passengers and baggage, 356 ships, of 55,028 tons. Al so a coasting trade inwards of 1,797 vessels, of 206,230 tons; outwards, 1,108 vessels, of 69,720 tons; making the total number of vessels that entered the port and cleared outwards to and from foreign ports, as well as coastwise, in the year 1848, 5,125, of an aggregate tonnage of 823,262. THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE STEAM-PACKET COMPANIES. (From the Hampshire Independent.) A great deal of excitement has been occasioned amongst the trading interests of Southampton, by the announcement of the intention on the part of the Directors of the South-Western Railway Company to raise their present uniform rate for the conveyance of goods shipped from or landed at this port by adopting a classified scale, the effect of which would be an increase from 10a. to 18s. 9d. per ton ; a great proportion-2W these goods forming the cargoes of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's ships, being either manufactured goods from the north or raw produce for intended con sumption in that distribt; the inland transit charges for which (between Southampton and London) are now de frayed by the Company as part of the freight, in order to compete with Liverpool shippers. The serious conse quence of such a large increase in the railway charge must be at once apparent. The interests of the Southampton Dock Company, the Royal Mail, the Ocean Steam Navigation, and other companies, as con nected with their operatiens in Southampton, are also seriously involved in this question. A conference, by ofuretothhnitun that!P directorsl r port; arrangement, therefore took place on Friday, the sth instant (yesterday week), between the directors of the railway, and Colonel Barlow, on behalf of the South ampton Docks; Mr. Willcox, of the Peninsular and Oriental Company; Captain Chapple, of the Royal Mail Company; and Mr. Croskey, of the American Mail line of s team-packets.—Colonel Barlow very ably pointed out to the directors the incompatibility of the delays neces sary to arrive at a classification of goods with the ra pidity required by railway and steam navigation, and that a uniform rate could alone work well. He then suggested—without being authorised 80 to do by the other parties interested—that the increase might be borne to the extent of 2 5 per cent., say 12s. 6d. instead of 10s. per ton.—Mr. Willcox observed that it was best to speak out--that this was not a matter of feeling, but of pounds, shilli h ne, and pence—and that if the directors persisted ina drive the new tariff the result must inevitably b_ would b foreigne that t trade a d t h e i froms company, Sout 11 alreadya m p t o n , na died to tion with a party at Liverpool, would b ton, the reminded e d were not used dispatch their Constantinople steamers_ h goods from London company pay the carriage of al a l t t as nine-tenths of their that as it is, to secure that trade to out of their freights; and that of Manchester and cargoes to Constantinoplemanufactures, i s a n nd s tr th c o o e ng fi p er c s o tt m e p ir e e t ei-t their Liverpool rivals other northern He had every advantage. _ steamers and consequently could do in mail contracts, the desired. —a t • part from any port ,Y, P ain Chapple but h e warned the directors that the Govern ! not pay for the c - stated t h a t his comp t h, m pton, and that that the Constatainnyopuleu arriage of their goods to So n coney was the quantity of ers for the conveyance they could .inconsiderable to the West cargo t a w il een this country aid the d now advertised for tend Brazils —that h b l e l asthtehpe of her Idajesty' tenderora for it—that it was a line essentially passenger traffic, so much sothat C ompanywould compete tont Plymouth, or Liverpool, of cargo and not of left Innedn i i it to sb t i a the option - ni a o . f l to name Southamp ortof Governmentdeparture a o v r e arrival—that nearly the whole of the export trade of this country to the Brazils is now carried on at Liver pool.—Mr. Croskey took a large and enlightened view of the case, with little reference to his line, except to state that the imports from America, however large, being mere produce, was of inconsiderable original value—that the expenses of transit formed a large feature in its cost to the importer and consumer, and he cautioned the directors how they tampered with the trade of the port of Southampton.—Mr. Chaplin, the chairman of the South-Western Railway Company, in reply, stated that it was with very great reluctance the directors proposed to raise their rates for goods—that hitherto those rates, as a mileage, had been less than any other railway—that they had been compelled to reduce their dividends from eight to six per cent.—and that when he told the shareholders, in reply to a question put to him, that the reduction would never extend to four per cent., it was ridiculed. He then said that, taking into consideration the observations which had been made, he, on behalf of the South-Western Railway Company, would offer to reduce their proposed charge of 18s. 9d. to 13s.—The parties gave no content, and there the mat. ter rests for the present.

DISASTROUS LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY. (Abridged from the Aberdeen Herald.) On Wednesday last, our coast was visited by a tre mendous swell of the sea. The wind here was generally S.E., but was by no means so violent as to have caused the. heavy sea which prevailed. The waves lashed into the shore to an almost unprecedented extent; and, had the' wind been more easterly, it is believed, by compe tent judges, that a considerable portion of the lower and seaward district of the town would have been inundated, if not destroyed. The results, we regret to say, have been a lamentable loss of life and property. The fol lowling paragraphs embrace all the details of the melan choly effects of the storm, which we have, up to this time, been able to collect : — ABERDEEN.—The only s hi p wh i ch was seen i n t h e offing during the whole day, was a schooner, which turned out to be the Labelle, of Dundee. She made her appearance in the Bay about two o'clock, P.X. The master had mistaken the Girdleness for Kinnaird's Head, and was quite happy in the expectation of a fair wind up the' Moray Firth. He tacked about for a short time, till inent danger of running ashore. andthe G tn i a rd t l h en n e w ss aa be in ing nn li m t up, h e i nstant l y saw hi s pos i t i on, After an ineffectual attempt to wear out of the bay, he ran his vessel ashore on the sands, at the back of the square,at five o ' c l oc k . Th e s hi p immedi ately round, broad s id e to the sea, and a heavy fishermen'sw wave striking swung her at the moment, she turned over on her beim-ends, the masts dipping in the water, and nothing being visible but the side of the ship. The vessel soon hove up to a steeper part of the sands, when a receding waive drew her upon her bottom, mid she was thus once more righted. Meanwhile, the life-boatand launched, with a crew— cons i st i ng o f C apta i n Mer chant, Captain Johnston, Mr_ Douglas, and six pilots— and, after a severe struggle amongst the breakers, they succeeded in rescuing the whole of the crew. While all hands were engaged in hauling up the life-boat (about seven o'cloek), an alarm was brought along the sands, by two men, that another vessel was ashore further north. About a dozen men, amongst whom was the pilot-master, soon reached the vessel, which was stranded immediately under the Broadhills. Two hands were ob served on board of her, and as the waves had hove her up close to dry land, the parties on shore were able to speak them, and ascertained that the vessel was the Elizabeth of this port, which had sailed from this on the 6th inst , with timber for Newcastle. After the tide had receded a little, it was quite practicable to run out to the Eliza beth in the intervals of the waves, and some pilots who ran out to her managed to bring ashore the two indivi duals who had been seen, and who, it turned out, were the sole survivors of the crew! About three o'clock on Thursday morning the Dahlia, of Newcastle, laden with coals, was observed coming ashore. The master's con dubt was a remarkable instance of courage and intre pidity. He now saw that escape seaward was impos sible, and, when he had got abreast of our harbour, he immediately put up his helm, with the view of running his craft ashore. He ordered all hands down below, lashed himself to the helm, and steered his vessel right through the breakers. While among the brbken waves, several dreadful seas swept the deck, the force. of which may be imagined from the fact that the binnacle and boom were carried away, and the jaws were driven out of the gaff. The vessel, notwithstanding the tremendous surf, answered her helm beautifully, and a friendly wave hove it up al most close to the Bents, where It settled in the sands, in 'a very favourable position, nearly opposite Messrs. Blaikie's foundry. About a dozen individuals were , speedily on the spot, who very properly ad v i se d t h e crew to remain on deck till the tide receded. O n in yalll rassight! ha , d , been experienced the There is little chance answer quiring was whetherNo;—,, a n of the Isabella being fit for anything, even if the sea re main calm. The Elizabeth, it is expected, will be got off with comparatively little damage, and the Dahlia, without any material damage to her hull, though of course, her cargo will, in the first place, have to be re moved. We may mention that a large barque, deeply laden, passed through the Bay, northward, yesterday after noon, and signalled for a pilot but did not stop--she was probably on her way to the Moray Firth for shelter. It is confidently reported that a schooner foundered off Slains Castle on Wednesday forenoon. On Monday, about mid-day, the Union schooner, Bridgeford, coal-laden, of and for Stonehavon, from Newcastle, in attempting to enter the harbour, with a south wind, fetched the Pier-end, and went to pieces almost immediately. On Tuesday, the wind still con tinuing southerly, several vessels wereinjured by coming too near the north side of the pier. NEWBURGH.—Yesterday morning (10th instant) the hull of a schooner, with the masts lying over the side, was discovered at the mouth of the Ythan. From the circumstance of a flag, with the name " Isabella" in it, and a seaman's chest which has been identified, being found at the same place, there is no reason to doubt that the ill-fated vessel is the Isabella of Cromarty. There is no tidings of the unfortunate crew. It is supposed she had brought up on the evening of Wednesday, as her anchors were found at sea, a little distance off. The coast Ruud is taking charge of the wreck, which is fast going to pieces. PETERHEAD.—On the morning of the 10th instant, it blew a heavy gale from the east, and our bay presented a frightful appearance. About ten o'clock in the morning the Katherine of Aberdeen came in sight, was unable to keep to sea, and soon drove in at the south shore. The bo/tmen vverfe promptly in attend ,nee with Manby's a;parn,tuii, and, in x short time, a rope was attached to the Nel,•sd, and do cradle put out, when one man entered it, and was in the act of being drawn in, when the rope gave way, and ho was precipitated into the and Field-book, price 125., TREATISE on PiaCTIC L LA*l) SURVEYING.
