HEROIC REScuE.—Our shipping intelligence of
Tuesday, Oct. 21, contained the brief announcement
from Newhaven that the Wesleyan, of Goole, from
Portland to London, went down off Newhaven, " crew
saved." Beneath these few words lies the record of as
gallant an action as was ever performed in the annals of
the sea. Mr. Green, the master of the Wesleyan, states
that he left Portland on Thursday about 3 o'clock, and
early on Friday morning experienced very heavy weather,
in consequence of which she sprang a leak. On board were
his wife and six children. With his crew, consisting
of two men, he worked incessantly at the pumps, but the
water continued to gain on them. In the afternoon she was
observed by the crow of the Wave, of Colchester, Dorman
master, about five miles to the westward, and nine miles
S.E. of Newhaven. Perceiving that she was disabled, the
Wave ran as near the Wesleyan as she could venture, and,
finally, in the face of a sea running mountains high, Dorman,
the master of the Wave, leaving two men on board his own
vessel, launched his own boat, quite a cockle-shell compa-
ratively speaking, and with three other brave fellows made
for the Wesleyan. The boat was nearly swamped several
times, but at last they managed to get on board. Here a
truly heartrending scene awaited them. The bulwark,
were all g,ne, the boat was stove in, and the sea
was making a clear sweep over them. The three men
were utterly exhausted, and the poor woman and her six
children were sitting huddled together below, in nearly
three feet of water, which was pouring in from the deck.
The youngest child was only six months old, and the cries
of the poor little creatures were so pitious as to unnerve the
strongest man. Then came the difficult task of getting Mrs.
Green and the little ones on board the Wave, and this was
accomplished, although the boat was half full of water.
Dorman and his men, after working at the pumps for three-
quarters of an hour without any diminution of the water in
the hold, abandoned her, and the crew were taken on board
the Wave. In less than five minutes the Wesleyan sank
with everything belonging to the poor creatures except the
scanty clothes they stood upright in. The Wave beat np
into Newhaven harbour, and landed the crow and family
hue narrowly saved from death.

A NEW REMEDY FOR THE SMALL-PON..—The
Sarcenia purpurea, or Indian Cup, a native plant of Neva
Scotia, which we mentioned some time ago as being the
specific used by the Indians against the small-pox, bids
fair to realise the expectations entertained by medical men
of its efficacy. In a letter addressed to the American
Medical 7 imes,
Dr. Frederick \V. Morris, President-Phy-
sition of the Halifax Visiting Dispensary, states that this
Sat aceniu, a papaveraceous plant, will cure small-pox in
all its forms within twelve hours after the patient has taken
the decoction. " However alarming and numerous the
eruptions," he says, "or confluent and frightful they may
be, the peculiar action of the medicine is such that very
seldom is a scar left to tell the story of the disease. If
either vaccine or variolous matter is washed with the in-
fusion of the Saracenia, they are deprived of their conta-
gious properties. So mild is the medicine to the taste, that
it may be largely mixed with tea and coffee and given to
connoisseurs in these beverages to drink without their being
aware of the admixture. The medicine has been success-
fully tried in the hospitals of Nova Scotia, and, its use will
be continued,"
