RAMSOATE.—Two lugger', the Buffalo Gel and
the Charlotte and Ann, were at see to render assistance on
Saturday morning the 28th ultimo, when they descried a
vessel on the Goodwin Sands; to her they immediately
repaired sad found her to be • lazy* brig named the
Emerritia, of Clattherg, Ides with turpentine from New
York, bound to Hull. The boats being engaged, imme•
diately used all their exertions to get her off, which they
succeeded in doing, and took her into the Dawns; and in
the evening employed the Ressigata harbour steam tug to
get her from the Dawns into the rojal harbour, which they
aceomplietted about half.part 7 o'clock the same evening.
From toe statement given by the crew, it appears that on the
17th ultimo, the yowl was struck by • heavy sea, which
washed the master overboard, and he was drowned; at
the same time the esa wide • clean 'weep of her deck.,
Lakin* with it the boats, cookhouse, bulwarks, stanchions,
rails, ;and even an anchor and chain, from off the deck,
filling the cabin with water and very seriously injuring the
surviving crew.

THICSELTONBHIP OF NEWARK FOR THE LAST
SITINTT rocs Sppeara that the office of sexton
in the paint of Newark hos bum in the family of the
Corby. fur a period of upwards of 74 years, end is still retained
in the family, to the satisfaction both cf the inhabitants and
views then and there in existence. From dates we dad
that the Brit of the family entered on °Moe In the year
1775, and died in 1795, thus b•iog 20 years in cam, In
which period he buried Z 823 souls, Then we find that his
son Jo►n. who bore the _Christian name of his father, on.
ended him on January 1, 1796, and died in the year 1838,
in which time he buried 6,918 tools, in 42 years ; and upon
his decease the churchwardens for the time being took the
' matter into consideration whether the widow should hold
the office for the benefit of hereof' and family, and it was
agreed by them it should be so ; and by the aid of her sons,
who will no doubt ultimately seemed to the office, she has
carried out the occupation of sexton to this period; and,
from the date of her huslend'e death up to the 23rd or
November last, atialad.buriad, in 12 years, 2,803. There-
fore, if we pat the aggregate together we find—John Corby,
rein, buried 2,823; Jam Corby, jun., ditto 6,918 ; Esther
(the widow), ditto 2,803; total, 12.544 ; thus showing that
in the space of 74 years this family have interred actually, as
we believe, more than the population of Newark in 1840.
