EAST INDIA SNIPPING.

The Bombay Carrie, of the 18th df June cur-
tains the following statement of the dis niters expe-
rienced by the Lord Castlereagh Indiaman, for
whose safety so much fear had been entertained,
that re-insurances had been effected upon her at
go pe► cent, premium :

_ .
"The 111•Qween spoke with the Honourable Company's
ships gent* Cortle and Charles Grant, from China to the
eastward of the Cape, on the Bth of May. At Johanna she
fell in with the Lord Castlereagh, Beim, returning to
Busboy to relit, is cons...ponce of heavy damage sustained
by h.r in a arvrre gale off the Cape, during which she
was compelled to throw overboard *considerable part of bee
cargo, and received so much injury that the.proseeution of
the voyage became impossible. The ship made the land off
Algot Hey on the 27th April, whew a gale of 'bid com.
neenced front the north•west, @treaded by a very high sea. Caul.
ing her to strain and labour considerably, mid to make ninth
water. The pumps became r►nkrd with pepper ea the 30th,
sad it become aecemary, in coosequente, to throw overboard
290 bags of pepper to get at the pump well. The pampa
were kept constantly going; bet the gale continuing sitb
increased force and a heavy sea, and the ship not lying well
to, she °prised all the seams of the upper decks sad topsides,
and continued in this perilous slate until the 3d of May,
at which time the water had increased to four feet, the people
were ell completely knocked up, the masts and rigging
much injured, sad there being no probability of her getting
round the Cape in the state she was, abe was kept lotore
the wind to prevent her foundering. The gale lasted 1,11 the
sth of May, when the weather moderated, mad the ship win
pumped out, and afterwards is the Ruse weather she nude
only 19 inch.' water in the 24 bourn."

Extract of a letter from Bengal. dated may 31.
received via Bombay, dated July 1 :
" The ship Lady:Vsegad haypet back, having, on the 181 h
of May, in lat. 15. N. long. Bo. experienced a ►arrinne, winch
made ber a perfect wreck ; bad Ilve feet water la her bold,
about ono-third of the cargo thrown overboard, sad more
than half of the rest damaged. Several vessels put bark
dirmasled and disabled. The Xavier Mills haa fousulera,
with 00 of her crew."

We have often read extraordinary accounts of
heifers, &c. but the following from the Boron Ga-
zette will hardly find a parallel :—" Lest week a
heifer, thrre years •nd • half 01d,111.6 killed by
Mr. THOMAS Show, butcher, of Mounthorre I,
which, on being opened, proved to contain fire
kidnies (two being the usual number), see of winch
wrigned ninety-one pounds, while the hind quarter
weighed twenty stone. It was exhibited for public
inspection in • stable at the Bull's Head inn, ite
Lrtceste►; and considered a g►eet curiosity.
