unstopped the mast and turned her bottom up. All
hands got to the keel, but ahe rolled right over and
threw them off. When she settled again they returned
to the keel, end were rolled over in the same way three
or four times, which caused great exhaustion. The
peril el their position was much increased by the coming
Mame,. and nearly an hour elapsed before relief approached.
Two Mevagissey tithing boats were lying in Cawsand Bay,
and in the afternoon their stripper., who ore brothers, du-
cussed the suitability of going into Sutton harbour, Ply-
mouth. After some deliberation they determined to wart,
sad providentially selected the moment when their services
were moot invaluable. R. W. Pearce, in the Redoes, beard
cries of ditdretw, and bore down immediately for the gig. In
consequence of the boisterous mate of the sea it was with
some difficulty that he rescued ell the crew, one of whom wee
pulled up by the hair of Lie bead when sinking. It was then
nearly six o'clock. The &dare conveyed then all to the En-
counter, which is lying at anchor near the breakwater, ready
to sail for China. The gig was towed in Sutton harbour by
Skipper James Fearer, of the Mary Anne. It seems quite
neceesary that the Admiralty should issue regulations for the
inexuegeasent of boats when acing the " Bridge" parsers in
heavy weather. Many lives have been lost.
STEAM SIIITTING.—The month of October her
clotted without any real improvement, or even perceptible
change in the value or demand for employment of steamship-
ping property; end, with the winter %awn now commencing,
we an scarcely expect any alteration for the better. There
is still • scarcity of return freights from Baltic ports at the
moment, when a large amount of steam tonnage has pro-
ceeded thither with outward cargoes. Some inquiry conti-
nues for steamers on time charter, but recent quotations are
barely upheld. Considerable isles have been effected daring
October; several ream veseels of the largest class having
been transferred at price very favourable to their new pro-
prietors. Few engagements have been made in contract for
new steamers during the peat month; and much competition
therefore is evinced among the building establishments for
