THE LOW OF THE UNITED STATES STEADIER
FtlLTON.—Borne fat/raging particulars of the lose of the
Fulton will be found in the following extract from a private
latter, dated September 16—The Pekoe sailed from Hey
West on Saturday last (September 10) for the Coast of Cuba.
The captain was sick with fever when we left, as also the
muter and one or two others. On the 12th the captain
broke down, but retailed to give up command among the
Cuban reefs. He consented that evening, however, to have
the first lieutenant take the 814 to Tortugas Islands, the
nearest healthy home port. We made for them accordingly;
but the weather began to threaten, and we could get no
sights, and were eaposed to baffling currents, and did not
reach our porta as expected. Oa the martial; of the 14th,
in the Gulf Stream, to leeward of the Toting's, it began to
blow, and was doubtful if we oonld mach them. It was maw
sary to batten down hatches to keep out the seas. The Hen-
tenant thought we could reach Pensacola, as the wind was
fair for that port; so, on the evening of the 14th we kept
off for it. The gale Jimmied and became very violent, sad
we had to scud before it without eights, 14th and 16th. Lent
night it blew with fury, and the seas Imo more dangmom.
We feared we were nearing lend, and council was held to de-
ckle whet to do. It was determined that if the attempt were
made to " lay her to" ehe would be lost ; on the other band,
if there had been no current we should be more than 100
miles from land, and our beet &ante was to run on, hi the
hope of not reaching land before day. In the mid-watch, the
gale increasing still, it was again consulted about, and at •
quarter before 2 s.m., while every one we up and anxiously
canvassing our fortunes, the rem, slid on shore, In the
mooniest and easiest planter possible, upon the sandy
beach. When day dawned we were lying broadside to the
shore, which was only about 20 yards distant, with a fearful
surf besting against us outside. The Mad hand of providence
only has raved us. Not a soul is lost or hurt. We are getting
our as and provisions on shore as East as poseible.—lietc

STORM AT HARTLEPOOL.—The Era, of Whitby,

affair near Tangier (precise locality not specithd), near

LOSS OP A TROOP SHIP.

The loss of the ship Neptune, while on her voyage
from Calcutta to Bombay in July ast, with troop, is thus
reported by Captain Pillen :
"On the 16th ult. we left the pilot. Up to the 19th had
use weather (too fine for the season) ; on 19th ounmettos-
meat of bad weather, and no observations for 10 days. 26
Sprung mainmast, in the most terrific squall I have ever seen
or felt 27—Mainmast broke short off by the ayes of the
rigging, taking main and foreyanla with it. 28—A terrific
storm, with constant rain. 29—00 t a jury foreyard up, and
bore away for Akyab ; after this the weather got better, but
still blowing hard. 31, 845 ctn., sighted high land south of
Akyab, and at 3 p.m. got disabled again by the loss of the
foreyard. As we could not in this state fetch Akyab, we turned
tho ship out to the westward; the wind at the time being easterly,
enabled us to clear a dangerous oyster reef, which wee under
our lee, and we were in hopes of being able to get ea-room
to get another foreyard up, but it was not to be, for the cur-
rent carried us fast to the northward, and on the same night
we anchored off Coast Reef. Nest morning (Aug. 1), about
noon, the cable parted, and we headed the ship for the reef,
and could do nothing else. The fourth time she struck the
rudder broke, and she continued driving and striking hard
until 2 a.m. of the 2nd, and that, too, without melting more
water than we could easily keep frost when she stopped in
less water than her own drought. Next morning (2nd),
with the flood tide, a large am set in, bursting the lower
cabin windows in; mute, carpenter' and captain, trying to
barricade them, got washed away frequently; was there-
fore compelled to give it op. and the ship very soon filled,
she lying stern-on to the sea. A. the tide made more
the eta became higher' and it broke over the stern (epeek-
leg within bounds) thirty feet high; ultimately the
upper cabin windows got burst in, end the sea roads a
clean sweep through the caddy. About this tints a steamer
hove in sight, sad the my tint came from the troops and
seamen was enough to waken the dead. A steamship ! •
steamship I we're saved I we're raved We were at the
moment endeavouring to construct a raft ; It would have
been of no use, even if it had been practicable. We hurried
on to the poop deck, and sure enough it was • steamer
skirting the outer edge of the reef, and looking for a
piece to get as sloes to us es possible. She anchored
within li mile of na, and despatched her het*. lo the
first boat we put the wife of Major Swaffield (*lade heroine);
next, her female attendant; after which, all of the sick,
and as each boat came up we caused the wen singly to
gee into them, and according to their rank ; seamen in a like
manner; and ere the last boat lett the ship the beg .418 not
only gutting the caddy, but was sweeping in large maims
over the poop-deck, on to the main deck, and up on to the
forecastle head, and over the bow; but through God's mercy
we were all saved, and that too without a scratch. More
signal a deliverance could not be. Great mire la due to the
troops and Wilms for their ateadinere during the many tri ing
hours to which they were exposed—in feet, they were s band
of heroes, and the major's wife at theirw had. From theuntil time
of getting disabled the second time, kept firing guns
Tuoaday morning (three days), when out powder became ex-
panded, and, strange to say, that although our guns were
heard in Akyab on Sunday end on Monday, the steamer was
not mot to our aid until Tuesday morning, ant she wee but
in time, fora few minutes after we left the chip it would have
ban impossible for any ale to have remained alive."
