STEAMER.

The foundering of the Butjad4i, London and
Bremen steamer, In the North Sea, d the late heavy
weather, wee announced yesterday at 's. Manny the
whole of her pameugen and crew were saved. They were
landed at Margate on Tueday. The steassee left Bremen=
Wednesday, with 260 head of cattle on board. She wee par..
suing her usual course from Ter& across the North Sea, to
make the Engliali land somewhere near Lowestoft, when abe
encountered the fearful weather of Thursday night, the wind
blotting heavy from 8.8. E. A tremendous sea struck her
stern, carrying away her rudder and aternpoet, and causing
her to leak considerably. Every effort was made to reduce
the leak and repair the injury, but the gale oontinuing, all
their exertions proved frualeee. Throughout the whole of
the night and following day Captain Wiericks, the corn.
mender, and hie crew kept to their post, in the hope of saving
the ship. The water, however, kept increasing, and their
position at length became wet critical. A mil had not come
I in eight, and, with the heavy eta that was running, there
' was not much probability of the boata living long in it If
they were lowered. On Friday evening the water had gained
so mach upon her that It was up to the rattle between decks.
At length the signals which they kept sending up were ob-
served by • Norwegian schooner, who bore up for the sink-
ing steamer. The crew were then hailed to come off. tin-
fortunately one of her boats got swamped and another stove,
so that there was only one available to take three on board
to the schooner. The nine passages—amongst them
were two women and two children—were first got off ; and
after several parrs of the host the whole of the crew were
conveyed to the schooner. The Butjadingen mast have
foundered shortly afterwards. She wee s powerful three.

she had a quantity of merchandise. The loss of the ship and

A BORDER WAVERINO-PLACIL—Mr. Ooodchild
voluntarily reported, that if you wonted to be primitive, you
could be primitive here, sad that if you wanted to be idk,
you could be idle here. In the course of some days, be
added, that there were throe fishing-boats, but no rigging,end
that there were plenty of fishermen who never fished. That
they got their living entirely by looking at the wean. What
nourishment they looked out id it to support their strength
he could'nt ; but, he supposed it wee some sort of
lodine. The place wee full of their children who ware
deems upside down on the public buildings (two
small bridges over the brook), end always hurting
themselves or one another, so that their wailing,
nude more continual noise in the air than could have
been got in a busy place. The Loupes people lodged in,wer•
nowhere in particular, and were in capital a.ance with
the beach ; being all more or less cracked end damaged u Ile
shells were, end all empty—as its shells were. Among them
was en edifice of destitute appearance, with a number of
wall-eyed windows in it, looking desperately out to Scotland,
as if tor help, which said it was a barer (and it ought to
know), sad where you might buy anything you wanted—
en what you wsnted, was a little amp-stool or
chMs trelburow. The brook crawled or stopped between
the houses and the us, and the donkey was always
away, end when he gut into the brook, he wee always
with stemee,which never hit him, and which always hit some
of the children who were upside down on the public bedding',
and made their lamentations louder. This donkey was the
public eacitement of AUonby, and was probably supported
at the public expeass.—Diekne: a "Hoare hold Words.
