MORE SHIPWRECKS AND LOSS OF LIFE.

LIVERPOOL, WZDXESDAT.

Another number of disasters has again to be
added to the long list of the sad casualties at sea already
reported. The name of the vessel lost with all hands
near Str.ingford, as supposed by the station consul at Bel-
fast, proves to be the barque Gardena, of 312 tons register,
with a figurehead of a nymph with au arrow in her hand.
A despatch from Strangford states that the figurehead of
• nymph has been picked up with one of the arms broken
off. The Gardena must have struck about Plead), Lug,
as the perch at the point is broken off, and pig-iron is
being picked up about the rock. The anchors and chain
cables of the Gardella have also been found on the rock.
Pladdy Lug is on the starboard band, inside the entrance
to Btrangford Lough, and almost opposite the Angus-rock
lighthouse. Had there been a light on Angus-rock
there is no doubt whatever but that the Gardena would
have been saved, but although the authorities have been
appealed to for several years to have a light placed in the
light" house, they have persistently refused to do so.
The consequence has been that several sad disasters have
occurred on the Pladdy Lug and Angus. In Feb., 1861, the
Manchester ran on to the Angus in • dark night, and every
soul on board was lost. Perhaps the terrible fate of
those on board the Gardella will open the eyes of these
red tape authorities. Messrs. Jones and Co., of this port,
have received a report from their agent at St. Agnes,
Cornwall, to the effect that the wreckage washed ashore
near that place is a portion of the 'teenier Tiger, home-
ward bound from Bayonne, and which went down with all
hands during the recent gale. The ship Mountain Laurel,
which sailed hence for San Francisco several days ago, has
been compelled to put into Falmouth, with loss of
bulwarks, boats, kc. her decks swept, and four of the
crew washed overboard. The barque Michael, bound
from the Mersey to Havana, also met with heavy weather,
and has been compelled to put into Padetan, the captain
having been washed overboard. The ship Sydney Decree,
arrived in the Thames from Calcutta, encountered very
heavy weather, and lost one man overboard. The
Grimy", bound from New Orleans to Bordeaux, was
totally wrecked near the mouth of the (ioronde on the
11th instant. The Jane Tudor, bound from Barcelona to
Barrios, is the name of the vessel reported to have gone
ashore at the mouth of the Ebro. The Empress Sophie is
the name of the vessel towed into Holyhead a few days
since by the steam-tug Knight Templar. The ship Sea
Wave, bound from the Clyde to Batavia, is reported ashore
on the Capel Bar, near the entrance to Padstow harbour.

FIRE NEAR FLEET-STREET.--Shortly after nine
o'clock last night a fire was discovered on the premises
occupied by Dr. A. Voelcker, analytical chemist, situate
No. 11, Salisbury-square, Fleet-street. The flames were
first seen in the basement of the building, and owing to the
inflammable nature of its contents fears were entertained
of the tire igniting the printing-office of Lloyds Wee
London Newspaper, next door. The engines, however,
were quick in arriving, and under the direction of Captain
Shaw several land-steamers were soon in motion. By 10
o'clock the exertions of the firemen had ceased, but not
before the lower part of the building (where a large linan -
fig of valuable chemicals was stored) was destroyed, and
some damage was occasioned to the back part of the pre-
mises belonging to Messrs. Bone and Sun, bookbinders,
Fleet-street.

From Cambridge we learn that the river Cam
is again frozen over. On Tuesday it afforded a great deal
of amusement to skaters who did not mind walking as far
as Horningres, where the ice begins 3/4, bear firmly. By
far the most of the lea runners were, however, to be found
on Tuesday at Swavesey, a place about ten miles below
Cambridge. Here a large tract of marsh land which had
been inundated by the thaw is frozen over a foot deep, and
affords about as fine an opportunity for skating as can
well be wished for. There Is an uninterrupted run over
nearly 200 acres of ice, and that as smooth as glass. Yes.
terday a cricket match was to come off, and a purse of
money has been subscribed to be raced for which will be
open to all Cambridgeshire and the Isle of Ely.
