OREE3OO.;I, OCT. L—A melancholy shipwreck occurred in
l'astletown Bay, Isle of Man, in a dreadful gale about two o'clock
on Wednesday afternoon. From the report of Captain Oman, of
the Majestic steam-packet, which was on her passage from hence
to Liverpool, we learn that the vessel was the Reynolds. of about
200 tons, and bound from Liverpool for Demerara. Before the
struck on the sunken reeks of Castletown Bay. she was seen on her
broadside from Castle Iludinn, and the crew, ten in number,
clinging to her. In despair they took to their boat, but were soon
swamped, and all on board recished. No assistance could be given
from :he shore, nor was the Majestic able to render any. - The
brig soon went to pieces on the rocks.

Mr. R. Joncs is appoint 11 Surgeon of Plymouth Dock-yard.

Extract of a letter to Mr. 111'Kinlay, Ship Agent, Glasgow.
" Douglas. Isle of Man, Oct. 1, 1823.
" The sloop Brothers. of Abervstwith, with oats for Glasgow. is
put into the port of Peel in dictress, having sprung a leak at sea,
and with difficulty made the port; cargo tLaniaged, and must be
discharged."

The herring fishing on the North and East coasts is now
about over for the season. Though the take has of date
been pretty good. yet the aggregate taken will fall short of
that of last year fully 60,000 harrcL-. This deficiency will,
however, be, in so far, made up by the favourable fishing
which has been, for a fortnight past, round the island of
Skye, and the lochs and inlets in the West Highlands.—
Glasgow Chronicle.
On Wednesday morning, about nine o'clock, a watch-
maker in Paisley attempted to put a periA to his life by
shooting himself with a fowling-piece. Ile placed thc butt-
cud on the floor, and fired it by pushing back the trigger
with his foot. It was loaded with small shot, which
passed through his left ribs. Ile was carried to the House
of Recovery. His case is considered dangerous.
