brig Quatre Seears suffered shipwreck at six
o'clock on the nro!n'ng of the 30th of December, on the rocks
of Cauville, on the coast of Normandy. There were only
two men, the master and his son, on boar.' of her when she
s ruck. The son, a youth of fifteen or sixteen, perished. The
circumstances which accompanied the accident are very dis-
tressing. 'I he master, Phlissir, in his anxiety to save his
son, threw his arms rcund him, in order to keep him above
water during the space they had to swim to gin the shore;
bet the youth perceiving his father would lose his own life in
the attempt, without lessening his danger, urged him to snirn
alone, and he said he should be able to reach the land. On
being separa.e ! from his father he attAnpted to keep himself-
afl but a breaker came over and engulphed him for ever,
before the eyes of his distressed parent. The Quatre Soeurs
was all the prcperty Phiiisser possessed, and he has lost his
little fo.•tune and his sell at the same time.
Friday last, a boy, about six years of age, rc6iding
about two miles from Marsden, was sent by his parents on au
errand to a lonely house, situr.ted in the midst of the common
%%bra exter.ds from near Marsden to the junction road from
Manchester to Huddersfield. There was a thick mist at the
time, and the child got bewildered upon the common, and wan.
der,d Iron the road. lie was last seen alive on Friday night,
a, long di,tance from any dwelling, by a man on horseback, %lio
called nt the nearest house on his way, to request some one to
fetch the child, but no one moved to save him, arid he was left
to perish. The fact of his having been seen becoming; known;
Iris fiends went in search of him on Saturday, and a great
misty people were upon the common with 'interns the whole
of S,lturday night. On Sunday morning the boy was found
dei.d upon the inoor, near Buckstones, where he hal perished
of cold.—Munchester
