ing got assistance from the shore, she was brought into the harbour
the following day, and-the cargo landed, but it is feared a con-
siderable part of it has been washed out. The vessel is ninth
damaged in the hull, her bottom being nearly beat out.—lty a
letter from the British Consul at Stavanger, in Norway, dated the
Bth ultimo' we Icarn that the brig Jean, late Cumming, of this
port, was safely carried into the harbour of Tananger on the 9d,
and is since arrived at Stavanger. Our readers will recollect, that
this vessel was abandoned by the master and crew on the lath of
December, near the Naze of Norway, when they got on board a
schooner bound to Newcastle, and soon afterwards arrived in Aber.
deen. According to Captain Cumming's account, the brig was in
a sinking state when he left her; the water tilled the cabins, so that
he could not go below to save his money, and it was his opinion
she would go down that nit. She wad, two days afterwards, seen
by the brig Mary. of I armouth, Captain Ni arson, in lat. 57.
lung. 6., who passed under her an m, and front her height in the
water considered her as loaded with flax or hemp. Fifteen days
afterwards we have this same versel arriving in a port of Norway,
without a living lurid on board, having sustained no material
damage, according to the Consul's account, except the loss of her
F rudder, " the hull perfectly tight, and not likely to have been on
shore, or to have struck the ground."

The sloop Peggy, of Dysart, William Wemyss, master, left the
pert of Wemyss, coal-laden, fur Leith, on Satunisy morning.
She had been able to prosecute her voyage only to a short distance,
when the weather became very boisterous. The vessel was old and
crazy, and it was deemed prudent to endeavour to regain the har-
bour.. This was found to be impracticable, and the sloop was buf-
feted about by the raging elements, though no serious danger was
apprehended. It is thought that, during the night, she had sprung
a leak, and, owing to the heaviness of her cargo, had instantly
sunk, as in the morning her toast was visible at a short distance
from the beach. In the night the cries of the people on board
were heard on the shore, but it was impossible to render them any
assiatance. The crew consisted of the master and two 'cameo.
There were also on board two mariners, who had been shipwrecked
in the north of Scotland, and, being on their journey southward,
the master granted them a passage to Leith. The whole perishes!.

support of an aged mother. Two of the bodies have been cast
