Loss OF THE AMERICAN SHIP SOUTHERNER.--We re-
gret to learn that, by a letter received in town from
Captain Russell, of the American ship Southerner, that
fine vessel foundered at sea on the 12th inst. She sailed
from Glasgow on the 17th August, for New York, and
all went well with them till about the end of the month,
when she encountered a succession of severe gales, with
a heavy cross sea. On the sth September, when in lat.
46.24, long. 40.15, a leak was discovered under the
after breast hook, which increasing, it was judged
necessary to carry the vessel to the nearest
port. She was before the wind, and every ex-
ertion made to overcome the leak. On the 10th
the wind increased to a perfect hurricane, carrying away
her mainyard, and stripping her of most of her sails.
In this disabled state, labouring and spraining in a
heavy sea, the leak rapidly increased, and at half-past
ten in the evening, when there were eight feet of water
in the hold, and the ship fast settling down by the
bows, the master and crew were compelled hastily to be-
take themselves to one of the boats, with a few biscuits,
and only such clothing as was upon them. They
were tossed about at the mercy of the waves, and
scarcely able to keep their frail boat afloat till the 13th,
when most providentially, they were observed and
taken on board by the Marshfield, Captain Torry, bound
for London. They were in a most exhausted condition,
with their limbs swollen from being constantly in
the water 5 • but by the great attention they experienced
from their from preservers they all gradually recovered.
We understand the vessel and cargo were insured at
New York, where she was owned.—North, British Mail.

THE "CRANK." —The Leicester inquiry tends, like
that at Birmingham, to show the utter uselessness and
cruelty of the crank as a means of punishment. Debility,
swelled legs, faintness, wasting away, were its results,
according to the surgeon, while the chaplain stated that
the men at the crank were less disposed to receive moral,
religious, or secular instructions than the other class
of
prisoners, and always appealed in a low and depressed
condition.
