LOSS OF TWO WHALING SHIPS.

We ieste announce4i the 10110 Of two ;haling
shios. The following account of the suffering of their crews
is from the Hull l'acket.

We regret that we have this week to record the total loss
of two vessels employed in the Davie Straits fishery—one
the 800 Accord, of Hull, commanded by Captain Lee, and
the other the Alfred, of Boner. The following is on ex.
tract from a letter received by Mr. Robert Collinson, of this
town, managing owner of the:Bon Accord, front the mate,
dated Rgosminde, Daniell settlement, Davis' Straits, July
28, 1847:
" We lost our ship on the 3rd July, and, after twenty
days' hard suffering, arrived here, and are new on board the
brig Peru, of Copenhagen. We had two fish, 25 tons. The
ship was lost in lat. 75 N., as is the Alfred. of %nese, also; she
had no fish. The day before we saw fourteen sail, about
ten miles north of us. The 29th of June the Prince of Wales,
clean ; Lord Gambier, clean ; Truelove, one fink Abram,
one small ditto; all of Hull. Traveller, one; Joseph Green,
one; Resolution, one; all of Peterhead. All the Dundee
ship clean ; the St. Andrew, of Aberdeen, two fiih ; and
Pacific, same port, clean; Lady Jane, of Newcastle, one
fish ; the Kirksldy ships, clean. The American ship, five
fish. 800 seals, 95 tuns.—(Signed) FRANCIS Lee, late mate
of the Bon Accord, of Hull."
In addition to the above, Mr. Robert Collinson, who ar-
rived here from Hamburg on Wednesday, states that there
were in that port fourteen of the crew of the Alfred, who had
arrived from Davis' Straits, r.O Copenhag, n, and reported
that the whole of the crews of both the wrecked vessels were
saved, except one of the Bon Accord's, who died previous to
her loss, and another of the same crew by falling front an ice-
berg. Both were Shetland men.
The following interesting narrative of the sufferings of
the crew of tho Bon Accord, after the lona of the vessel,
is extracted from a letter of the mate to his wife, in this
town :

" It was on the 3rd of Jtily that we lost the ship, between
three and four in the morning. It was then blowing a hut-
rieane from the S.W., with constant snow. The hands were
called about a quarter of an hour before she was lost. I had
just time to get my things upon me, when the two floes came
together. 1 never thought that I had so much strength, for
I carried my father like a doll, and handed him over the
side. I then ran down into the cabin to save his watch, but
it was too late, the deck under my feet and the beams above
my head were flying in all directions, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that I reached the deck again. I hare lost
everything. I never shall forget the sight. The Alfred was
about 200 yards a-head of us. She took the nip first, and the
lee weat,mgAtia&a.„

them berth. I first looked at the wreck, and saw there was
no shelter there. Then, with horror, looked to the ice, and
oh what a sight met my eyes. There was my poor aged
parent wringing h,s hands, and tearing the little hair that
he had off his head, praying to God to take his life, These
eye a, I hope, will never see the like again. We were 12
hours on the ice before we got a seat made for any father,
and a fire made. I then went down to the wreck and
saved his cheat and bed-rug, one cask of pork, one cask of
bread, one cask of flour, four casks of ale, and 20 gallon+ of
brandy, which we took to his tent, and got the crow's nest
there also, to make a bed cabin for him. We then mad. a
tent for the men and a tire. I got an empty bread cask and
made a tent for myself, but being wet through and cold I
could not sleep. I got up and walked on the ice to get
warm, being almost perished. I went into the men's tent,
and they had a fire that would have roasted a drove of oxen,
but there was no chance of getting near it. They were laid
one upon top of another, but at length the fire disappeared
through the ice, and when they awoke they were stagnated.
11 then travelled over to the Alfred's tents, and they were
a great deal more comfortable, for they had saved their In d
clothes and chests all dry. The next day was spent in
getting our boats ready for launching over the ire : constant
snow, and blowing as hard as ever. We all suffered a great
deal from the wet and cold this day. The sth it fell calm,
with a very hot sun. We got some clothes dried • little;
my father gave me a shirt and a pair of stockings. I went
down to the wreck, and my chest was floating upon the
top of the water ; it not being locked, and being bottom
up, most of my cicalae, were gone out; the men had
taken them out, and then turned my chest bottom up,
for the things that were underneath were gone, and those
that were laid upon top were saved. At nine o'clock we
commenced launching the boats over the ice, and at two
o'clock in the morning of the 6th of July we got all the
boats in a hole of water. I then lost my eye-sight fer two
days with the reflection of the ice. I suffered • great deal,
and I felt that I could have laid down and died, had net the
thoughts of my wife and little darling bore me through all
my trials and sufferings. Oh, that the day would dawn that
these eyes could once more get sight of you. The time, I
hope, is not far distant when, poor as my home will be on my
arrival, it will be, I think, the happiest clay of my life. At
four o'clock we launched our boat again, and proceeded
south, my father and other three boats in company. Mid-'
night, very thick weather, with constant snow ; lost night of
my father and the other three boots, it then blowing very
hard from the southward. I had to bear up and run for
smooth water, to save our lives. July 7, noon.—More mode-
rate ; saw three boats to the north card, which proved to he
the Alfred's. I then bore them company within ten miles of
Duck Island, when it came on thick weather, and I lost
sight of them, blowing very strong from the N.E., with a very
nasty sea. Ten o'clock at night, landed on a barren rock
very little larger than our boat, and made some tea; mid-
night, a little more moderate, left the rock and landed on a
larger island. I found out afterward, that the master of
the Alfred was on one side of the island and me on the
other. July Bth, heard a gun fired to the south of the island,
which proved to be one of the Alfred's boats in distress,
having shipped • sea and filled the boat ; he was relieved by
one of their own boats, which took him in tow, and landed
upon one of the small islands. I have made a mistake; it
was noon on the Bth of July that my father landed upon the
island. Three o'clock in the morning we once more put
to sea ; celm and very thick. Four o'clock in the atter-
noon landed upon an island, worn out with pulling, made
some tea, having first broke my chest up to make •
fire, and fried some meat in our old utensils. Six o'clock
left the island, one boat in sight to the northward ; midnight
a light breeze from the N.E., suffered a great deal from cold,
having to launch our boats over very had ice, knee-deep in
wet snow, and I had nothing but a pair of shoes on, having
lost both pairs of boots. July 9, six o'clock in the morning,
landed on an island to make some tea, found five dozen
duce-eggs on the Wand, hied them, and made a very hearty
meal; there was one of our boats and two boats of the
Alfred left the babied as I landed. Eight o'clock, another
of the Alfred's boats landed. Ten o'clock, left the island in
company with the Alfred's boat. Noon, could not get any
farther south for the ice, landed upon an island, andell hands
went an egging. Two o'clock the men returned, having got
tea dozen eggs; the ice opened, proceeded south, the two
boat in company. Four o'clock, landed on an island,
and got six dozen eggs. I proceeded *oath, the Alfred's
boats in company. At noon the weather cleared up,
and I saw six boats running south, the master of the
Alfred having a Dane for a pilot. Six o'clock, landed at
Uppernavick, worn out with fatigue. Ten o'clock, three
more of the boats arrived ; we were all treated very kindly.
11th, three boats of the Alfred and one of our boats left for
Lively, and three left for Lively next day. We suffered a
great deal from wet and cold that day. July 17th, landed
at Lively, after a passage of five days ; and what we suffered
tongue cannot tell—it is only them who have to endure it
can form an idea. Oa the klat we were driven away from
Lively ; what we suffered there was more than man could
bear. I was certainly accommodated with a room and a
bed. I have not room is my paper to say any more, for the
other hell sheet must be for Mr. Collinaon. I arrived here
on the 24th, after a very bad passage. I am now on heard
the Danish brig Peru, and shall sail for Denmark the 20th of
August. I am in the cabin, and treated very kindly. Robert
Wilson is the only Englishman with me. There are 15 of
our men on board altogether, and seven of the Alfred's; the
rest of ours are at Uppernavick, 330 miles north of this. I
am afraid they will not all get home this year. There are
60 men altogether, and the captain of the vessel says be can
only take 30.

COLLISION ON THE DORCHESTER
RAILWAY.

This morning information was received at the Ge-
neral Poet-office of a frightful collision which happened last
night to the up mail train, by which several carriages were
thrown off the line, and much damage done both to persons
and property. The mail-guard states that the collision was
a severe one, but ho seems disinclined to furnish other parti-
colors. Something serious evidently has occurred, as the
mail was delayed upwards of tour hours and a half.
The letters from Dorchester, and the np-line from
Bishortoke not being delivered before eleven o'clock
this morning. From other sources our reporter has
gathered that an engine ran into the 10h. sm. p.m. up train
to London, by which there were several carriages thrown off
the line, and several persons injured, but none seriously.
The occurrence took place near to a small station between
Wareham and Dorchester.

LATEST PATICELAREI.-ET ELECTIC TELEGRAPH.

NINE ELMS, HALT-PAST 12.—Information hu jut been
furnished to the secretary of the London and Southampton
Railway Company, Mr. L. Campbell, by telegraph, that a
collision had happened on the line last night, between Ware-
ham and Dorchester. The message is very brief : it states
that " no lives are lost, and no person injured, the damage
being confined to property only." Our reporter was favoured
with the above information through the kindness of Mr.
Beattie, the mistant-secretary.

MONTREAL, AUG. 30.
The despatch of Earl Grey to the Earl of Elgin,
upon his lordship's assumption of the office of Governor-
Genersl of British America, dated Dec. 31, 1846, has
attracted the attention of the provincial newspaper press
since my last letter. The despstch is one of considerable
importance, recommending measures of an obvious pre-
cunory tendency to a federal union of all the provinces sub-
ject to British away upon this continent. This union was
the favourite project of the late Earl of Durham, the remedy
in his opinion best adapted to cure the evils and remove the
" chronic anarchy " by which the Canada!, Nova Scotia,
and New Brunswick, in their separate relations with the
mother country, were from time to time afflicted. Lord
Durham's bnef reign in this country did not permit him to
do more than consult with the governors of the different
colonies, and with deputations of the principal citizens from
each, who visited him at Quebec. The second attempt of
the French Canadians to break violently with the British
crown, with the aid of the American rabble on the frontier,
iu the autumn of 1838, after his lordship had left the country,
is assigned by him as a reason, in his celebrated " Re-
port " to the Queen, for reluctantly abandoning the
hope of the present federation of all the provinces,
and the substitution of the minor measure of the union of
the two Cambia. In recommending this expedient, the
high commissioner pointed to the ultimate consummation of
the union of all the provinces as the imperial policy best
calculated to ensure the prosperity of this important section
of the British dominions. Earl Grey's present recom-
mendations are limited to the establishment of a common

COMMERCIAL k MARKETS.
MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Half-past One.—The Consol market showed more
firmness this morning. Business was done, for the
account, at 861, to 1, and there appeared to be nothing
passing in a general way to produce a counter move-
ment. From the highest point quoted, however, the
price suddenly dropped nearly per cent. The
parties chiefly operating are brokers, who are so
much in the habit of acting for foreign principals, that
it is believed the transactions in which they have been
engaged this morning may have been founded rather
upon exclusive intelligence from the Continent than
upon any matter of local interest, inasmuch as with
us everything looks tranquil. The statement distri-
buted by Messrs. Sanderson and Co. is thought, upon
a somewhat cursory glance at the main features of it,
to promise a satisfactory result, and it may be hoped
that the experienced practical men who have given
their attention to the investigation of the affairs of
the house, may be enabled to report upon them as
favourably upon the occasion of the second meeting
as they have done upon that of the first. Consols,
after declining to 851, have rallied to 88 to 1 for the
account The quotation for money is 854 to 4.
In the foreign funds there is nothing whatever
doing, the rates remaining nominally the same.
neon' Clock.—We are sorry to have to announce the
failure of a mercantile house at Liverpool. The firm
have carried on a large export trade with Mexico and
other parts of tho world, and their suspension will be
Ifelt with some severity in the manufacturing districts.

PRESTON, Sept. 18.- Ile grain harvest is nearly core
pleted in this part of the country. The crop. are good and
secured in excellent condition, and the yield is universally
well spoken of. The weather has been stormy the last few
days, with heavy showers of rain ; our farmers have, in conse-
quence, been interrupted in gathering in their potatoes, the
crop of which is found to be large, but much affected with
disease. Hitherto we have been very sparingly supplied with
new grain, Flour, or Oatnitql from Ireland ; and, our stocks of
old being exhausted, we are, for the moment, dependent upon
Liverpool for a weekly supply of Breadstuffs ; as the trading
vessels are chiefly wind-bound on this side, the scarcity .may
continue for a few weeks longer. The important rise in all
the leading markets of the kingdom has had its influence
upon the trade here, and notwithstanding the bad state of
the manufacturing district, our millers and dealers have pur-
chased with much continence, at daily advancing prices. We
had a better supply of English Wheat at our market this
morning than last week, and it suet a brisk demand at 3s. per
windle advance upon the rates of this day se'nnight. Irish is
also much Inquired for at our quotations. Flour is in fair
request, at an amendment of 2.6. 6d. per barrel. No Irish at
hand. We are without new Oats. 3s. 6d. to 3e. 10d. per 45Ibs.
might be made for them ; old commands 6d. per bushel
over last week's rates. All other kinds of spring Corn are
the turn higher. Oatmeal meet, a tolerably free sale, at an
improvement of le. per load. Indian Cent and Indian Corn
Meal are in fair request for feeding purposes.
