DREAI/FUL STORM ANb SHIPWRECKS.
.Since Friday afternoon we have had a continuance of the moat
bolsteroua weather ever experienced on this coast, and which he*

when the most intense anxiety was nianifestrd by a crowd of specs

the possibility of !wenn the line of the sea wails on either side of

half, when her foremast went by the board, and shortly after het
hull became so much damaged that her cargo wax Washed on the

not a single handful of the grain wait preserved. The vessel now

the waves to render assistance in consleying to the shore the en-

the darkness and confusion which existed, and unfortunately suc-

and bed-clothes, washed ashore from the Unity. Although a
search was made, we believe none of the articles have been re.

In less than an hour after the I'nity struck, a second vessel was

_ The brig Greenfield, of Irvine (in ballast), came to anchor 'tl
Troon Bay, about two o'clock on Friday afternoon, but the wind.
blowing so hard, she was driven from her moorings, apd forced
upon the rocks about a mile to the N.E. of Tenon, and soon after
became a total wreck. The crew, we are glad to learn, effected.
their escape on shore before she broke up • but two soldiers belong-
ing to the 26th Foot, passengers, who had got upon the main:rust
for safety, were drowned when it went overboard.
Same evening, about five o'clock, the bark Avon, of Ayr, broke
from her moorings in Troon harbour. in consequence of her wind.
lass and stern knees giving way. She drifted ashore a short dis.
lance from the Greenfield, and we arc afraid will sustain consider.
oble damage before she can be got afloat. Considerable apprehen-
sions were felt lest site should sink while driving across the bay, as
both her stern and bow ports were open for the purpose of discharg.
fog her cargo. The mate, a Custom-house officer, and two of tfiu
vessel's apprentices, with difficulty made their escape, by leaping
on hoard the Duntionald, of Troon, just as the Avon left the Quay.
On Thursday morning, about one o'clock, the sloop Janet, of
Port Glasgow, supposed to be from Dundalk, with a cargo of
butter and oats, was driven ashore at the back of the Store, Troop,
and was speedily dashed to pieces, when we regret to add, all on-
hoard perished ! The body of a boy was found on the beach about
five o'clock in the morning ; the corpse was warns when found,
but in consequence of a severe contusion on the forehead, it was
found impossible to restore animation. Mr. %Filson, the resident
engineer, with the most praiseworthy alacrity, lost no time in em.
playing men to collect and lodge in a place of safety, such pst-teof
the cargo and wreck as came ashore. From 70 to 80 firkins of
butter were picked up in the course of Saturday morning.
Saturday forenoon, a smack, the Jean, of Brodick, without any
person on board, went ashore near the same place as the brig Green.
field. It is feared she will not be got off without sustaining much
etarnage, should the weather continue as unsettled as ft iv at present.
The Jean broke from her moorings on the other side of tire Frith
while the master and crew were ashore. _ _

The Ailsa Craig steam packet put into Troon on Saturday- in
great distress, her engines unserviceable, with tour feet of water in
her hold. _

The brig Catherine, of Greenock, MMl'Alpinc, master, with oat,
and butter, was put ashore in Troon Bay on Saturday morning,
with the loss of some spars, &e. The vessel is now so much do..
maged that the water ebbs and flows in her with the tide.
The whole of the coasters in the Clyde, betwixt Dumbarton
Cade and the Broomielaw, were driven on shore, where some of
them lie high and dry, the tide having been unusually high from
the force of the storm, although in the neaps. At Dumbarton,
where a shipwreck was never heard of before, a new launched ►rte
was driven upon a bank in the Leven, and laid on her side. The
vessels which came ashore in the river are not suppmed to have
received much damage, but it will require a good deal of Labour to
'cut a track for two or three of them into the water. One of them
has got into a garden.—Glargole Ilerald of Wednesday.
Dining the gale the following ve•sels were driven from their
moorings in the Clyde, and went on shore r—The Manchester,
Mersey, and Sims Liverpool traders ; the three Sisters from .Ma-
laga ; the Rob Roy from Ireland ; and two sloops, the names of.
which we dcrOot know. Some of the vessels are discharging their
cargoes into lighters, and it is expected the whole will be got off
without damsge«—ldem.
