LOSS OP AN AUSTRALIAN SHIP.

FEARFUL SUFFERINGS OF THE CREW.

Another melancholy shipwreck, and again at-
tended with frightful sufferings and loss of life,
has to be reported. A succession of heavy gales
memo to have swept the whole Pacific Ocean,
indicting an amount of damage almost °novice-
dastard. With the exception of one or two cases, Liverpool
dripping, so far as we ran leans. has escaped well ; but of
the weasel in question—the All Serene—we have a different
tale to tell It appears she was on • voyage from the
Sandwich Ldaods to Sydney, having been chartered to
carry • cargo of timber. She left Sandwich Islands on
the Z'Sth of January, and had fair winds and dos weather till
the 21st of February. The morning of that day commenced
with very slight rain. About 9 a.m. it began to rain
heavily, and between 11 and 12 it began to blow,
but the ship was under very rang sail sod wea-
thered it beautifully. The gale increasing, everything
was being done to withstand the storm, when two tanks,
which were stowed on deck and on each side of the wheel,
got adrift, and carried the wheel away. The ship, conse-
quent on the lose of the wheel, broached to,
heeling over to leeward tremendously, sometimes dipping her
fore and main yards half in the water. The mimes mast
was cut away to ease the tremendous rolling of the
ship, which was frequently buried beneath the seas. Most
of the passengers and crew, with the exception of the
mate, the captain's wife, and two children, who had pre.
viously been washed overboard, managed to reach the
main and mires chains. An tipswitueso describes
the seems in the chaise ite heartrending. Of 37 in the
forward chains, only three got safely back again. A
mist was eventually made, in which the remainder of
the crew and passengers embarked sod stood for lead.
Their sufferings in the boat are thus described by a
survivor :—" Now began our fearful scene ; numbers
dying every day for want of water, suffering from sores,
boils, &r., from drinking sea water." We will pass over
the sixteen days they were in the boat ; suffice it to say
that every day one, two. and often three deaths from sheer
starvation occurred. About 8 p.m. on the ITtli of March,
land was discovered on the starboard bow, and shortly
afterwards (says the narrator) we struck ea some coral
reef, off the island of liordara (Fiji group). You can
easily judge of the trouble we had to land from a coral
reef. Six of the Woolen' of as jumped out and made for
a light which we saw on the shore, and found it to be in
the houses of the native.. We were greatly *fetid of the
natives, sod at first doubted their ?deadliness to us; brit
we wronged them, for they treated us with great kiadnoes
the five days we remained with them. Om the Satur-
day, a Wesleyan missionary, who had heard from the native
of -oar condition. came to us sod remained till Monday. He
was the Rev. J. Nettleton, and left us no the Moedsy only
to make arreneemeets with his brother minister, the
Rev, William Fletcher, for our welfare. The next day
two whale boats were vent for us, bringiog promote
to the chiefs for their kindness to us while there. Nine of
us went to Mr. Nettleton's residence, and the remainder to
Mr. Fletcher's, and all received the utmost comfort and
care. The All Serene was a vessel of 1,003 tons bnrthen,
sad was under the command of Captain Myers. She was
owned is Melbonme.—Liverpool Mercury.

MCLANCHOLY SClClDL.—Yesterday morning an
inquest was bald by Dr. Hardwieke, the deputy coroner for
Ceotral Middlesex, at No. 17, Doughty-street, near the
Foundling Hospital, being the residence of Mr. John
Brahma, aged 64 years, who was found hanging to the hun-
ters on Sunday morning shortly before 6 o'clock. It ap-
peared that the deceased wu of the Jewish persuasioo,
and was living upon his means, after retirement from
business. He was that moroiog to have `one on a
visit to Bristol, but as the servant girl was taking up his
breakfast she saw him banging by the neck from the
banisters on the wood Moor stain. She raised au alarm,
when deceased was ant down, and medical minters)
obt•ined, bat life was extinct although the body was
warm. The deceased, it was shows, laboured under •
Myrna relative to property. He feared he was catalog to
wank and that the workhouse would be his sod. Mr. Louis
Benham, physician, and son of the deceased, deposed to his
father being subject to despondency, which bad continued
for the lad 18 months, sad in 1614 he was under restraint
at Barthwiok for four months. There was • tendency to
suicide in his family, for demand's mother and an War
sister destroyed their lives. Mr. Robert Cliff, surgeon, said
he was called to ese deceased, and described the manner in
which he found him, and the farrowed state of the neck of
the duessed, which had been effected by • sash line. The
may." reletnied • verdict of "Suicide under temporal in.
