NEARLY 400 LIVES.

Telegrams received yesterday afternoon in the
City from Lloyds' spot at ?lieu Diep, on the Dutch coast,
communicate the brief particulars of one of the most dread.
ful shipwrecks during the late storm that have happened on
that reap of oust for many years peat. The ill-fated ship
was the Wilhelmaborg, Captain Kress, commander, built in
1853, sod upwards of 1,200 toes burden. She left Hamburg
in the early pert of last week fur Australia, and is re-
ported to have had nearly 400 emigrants on board—men,
women, and children—Germans. She had also a cargo
of general merchandise. 11 would seem that she
had scarcely cleared the Elbe before the dreadful gale of
Thursday was encountered, and the wind blowing direct
upon the coast, the ship evidently was unable to get an
offing clear of the long line of low shoals which abound on
this part of the coast. The ship wee brought up at her
anchor, but the furious ple and the heavy waves which
kept tumbling in from the North Sea, no doubt quite over.
whelmed the vessel, and she was driven on the Terschelliog
and-bank, a dangerous shoal neer the entrance of the
Zombi: Zee, where she speedily began to break up.

100 coasting vessels are enumerated by the agents to have
been wrecked or stranded, and many of the crews were
drowned. Several were bound to England.
