The following is an account of the loss of the Niger, of Lon-

the carpenter of the vessel, by which it appears she has been last
entirely through misconduct We left London on the 29th
November, 18.13, for Shields ; on our passage thither, at two p.m.,
we got aground on a weather shore, abreast of limenhithe, where,
in consequence of having no boat to carry an anchor out, we were
obliged to remain till neat tide. Arrived at Shields 3d December,
took in cargo of coals, bricks, and tiles, and proceeded on our

not appear to know where he was. The mate apprised the Captain
of the pilot's conduct, aail on the Captain interrogating him the
pilot gave the same answer. At forty minmea past tie, struck
