AFFECTINO OA2III OP OHIPWRECX.

CORI., JANUARY 5.

• Amidst the many melancholy repirsentations to which
the late tremendous weather bait given rise, we have to record
an isidenee of providential saccuur and protection, such aa
has seldom o...urred within our recollection. The %simian
brig Ales, on her voyage from London for tit. Übes, in ballast,
was driven upon a reef of rocks near the Caskets,, ea the
night of the 44th silt. and in the space of alt bow ergot
to pieces. The crew, cutisistiog of the Captain mod IS altpt
mess, clung to the quarter deck (being the most subtlest/it'
part left of the *seek), noon which they .remained eagestird
to the danger of the elements for • period of five days sad
nights, during which they kept themselves (roils starvation
by a smell bag of dried peas, which they fortunately secured,
and of which each of them revived his portion at the rate of
20 per day only. Two of the p..or fellows, worse out by fatigue
and safferiag, died on the third day, and the survivors ex.
peeled either the game litigeresig fate, or that some resistless
wave would, in one moment, 'sweep them from the wreck,
and consign them to a watery grave. Callous, indeed, to every
feeling of humanity must those wretches have been, oho (mold
see their feliuw.creatores in thus awful situatiou, and not
attempt to extreete them frau it; and yet, with Ike
deepest intlienation we hear, that a Teasel passed be.
