At - 3 p. in: on the Ist of October she struck on the breakers, on the west . side of Abico, about a mile and a half from the shore, and 21 miles north of the liole-ia• the-Wall ; immediately cot away all her three masts, and launched the small boat•oo the • racks: the after-part oft he ship immediately went to pieces; the forward part, from the main hatchway, still remaining on the rocks. All hands remained on the rocks until the return of day-light, when the mate and seven of the crew landed safe on the shore of Airier); but the sea ran . so high•we could not return to the wreck; we made two attempts, but to no effect, the captain and six men still remaining on the wreck. Abbot 2 P. Ai. six men made then escape on a raft, and reached the shore, where we. all remained till Monday Morn ing the 2d of October, when.two of the crew started tit look for sonic inhabitants. At M.A. al. three men came to us from Sherrickshoro, and furnished its with some provisions. Tues day, the .3d, commenced with, light breezes and pleasant wea ther ; teen sloops came to . take us and property to Nassau." On Friday se 'might, the brig Martha, Capt-Nlattin, from Miramichi, for Glasgow, struck on the west end of the sand batik, known by the name of Bobinrig, and was bilged. The crew, after many ineffectual attempts to tow her to land, were. obliged to abandon her, 'and got safely ashore at the Carse: In the meantime the brig drifted„ and, about two o'clock on Saturday, was stratified about a mile from high -water-mark on the shallow shore off the Priesiside, on the coast of An nandale. • The news of the wreck spread like wildfire, and at daybreak on Sunday looming the, respectable inhabitants of that neighhouthmal were astonished, and beyond measure shucked, to observe her surrounded by a crowd ni ; depreda tors.. These consisted of the very scion and refuse of this people, -collected limn the whole adjoining country, whose numbers and desperate characters rendered it dangerous to nnerfere with their unprincipled operations. The well.dis postal spectators of this scene of robbery were therefore coot pelted to keep quiet, and suffer the ship to be pillaged before their eyes of every thing that could be carried off.—(Du2a fries Courier.) The following article contains some farther particulars of the disasters at Wexford :—" A more violent storm than that of Friday se'nnight is not in the recollection of the oldest in habitant. Several boats at the quay were more or less da nitged, and two or three were sunk. In the town tiles and slates were to be seen in almost every street, and many chimnies were bltwn down. The soldiers' hospital was al- most entirely unroofed. The storm raged throughout the night with unabated fury till about nine o'clock in the in,trn lag, when it gradually fell. As it blew: completely on the coast, the apprehensioas for the safety of whatever vessels were at sea were, it is our painful duty to state., too well founded. The most apprehensive mind had not, indeed, an ticipated intellit,sence mote afflicting than was received in the course of, the following day. The Coquette, of and from Liverpool, Robert Taybe . toaster, bound for the coast of Africa, and laden with spirits, tobacco, salt, &c., was wrecked, in the morning, on the Offing Banks, distant between two and three leagues S. E. of the bar. The crew, consisting of 19 men, took to the long boat, which, on approachiug the shore, upset, and two sailors only were saved. The Captain was observed walking, with the water no higher than his knees, when a tremendous wave carried him off, and be was seen no more. Two of the bodies have been washed ashore. One of them is that of the surgeon; but his name is not -known."—(lreaford Herald.) NAVAL PR The followingConimanders t Capt. Alexander Montgoinerie Sir Wm.Wiseman, Bart.

THE THEATRE.—Mr. WALLACK last night ventured upon the part of Corioknits, at Drury- Lane Theatre. The impression of Mr. KEMBLE'S admirable personation of this cha racter is, of course, strong upon the public mind, but Mr. WALLACK'S performance was manly and spirited. COOPER was also highly respectable in *fitllits. They were both very well received, and the representation . altogether d'eserved more numerous audience. Yesterday, being New Year's-day, Service was performed, and the holy sacrament administered, in Greenwich Church, accbrdingto the custom introduced by the present . ViCar. Her Royal Highness the Princess. SOPHIA of GLOUCESTER, who is always punctual in her at- tendance at that Church, was among the nume rous communicants on this occasion, as well as Christmas-day. • ROYAL SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS.—This Society' : (the first of the kind for musical talent in the world perhaps), held its Annual General Meet ing a few evenings since, at the Hall in Lisle street.

It is truly gratifying to behold. a cumber Of emi= neat men, thus benevolently disposed ; and equally satisfactory to. the Patrons of-"the Soci,?tr, to know that it i s conducted on the strictest plan, or rectitude and charity.
