" Charlotte Town, PrineeEdWaill Islnt d, June 12, 1824.
4' MELANCHOLY Sirirwarcx.—lt now becomes our pain-
ful duty, beyond a doubt, to record the melancholy loss of the
brig Jessie, with all the passengers and crew, 26 in number.
She sailed from Three Rivers (in Prince Edward Island) on
the 25th day of December last, for LiVerpool, G.B. and was
seen passing Cheticaw (Cape ' Breton) on the evening of the
127th, and it is most probable she run on shore that •mght on
St. Paul's island (a desolate island opposite Cape North in Cape
Breton). From the currency of several reports from the adja-
cent shores of the wreck of a brig on that island, a small vessel
was dispatched from the house'of Messrs. M'liay's (the owni•rs)
which returned on Tuesday last with the most conclusive proof
-of the fatal loss. The wreck of the Jessie lies.within 200 yards
of the South-west point of the island, and on the West side of,
the point, eleven bodies were discovered about half a mile front
the wreck ; among whom were 'recognized Donald APKay,
Esq., Mr. Forbes (a merchant of Miramichi), and Captain
M'.tlpine, who were lying together. It would appear that they
must ave perished from the severity of the weather, as some
provisions were found. The passengers Who left Three Rivers
in the Jessie, Captain M'Aipme, were Donald M'Kay, Esq ,
Mr. Forbes, Mr. John Lowe, :Mrs. Williams (wife of Mr. John
Williams), and two of her family. The loss of each individual
is sincerely to be deplored, but the blank which Mr.- M'Key
leaves will be severely felt by every person in this island, and
indeed all who bad the happiness of knowing him. The excel-
lence of his whole character, the kindness and benevolence of
his disposition, and his affable and truly gentlemanlike manners
will be long remembered—no man perhaps ever possessed a
warmer or more feeling heart, or enjoyed a greater share of the
good will of 'mankind.—A schooner left this town yesterday to
bring some of the bodies here for interment, and on her return
we hope to be enabled to give more detailed prticulars.
" }Attract of a letter, dated Sydney, June 11 :—' A fishing
vessel has lately returned to Margaree from St. Paul's Island,
off Cape North,• where they discovered eleven
.dead bodies of
persons lying in a tent on the island, supposed to have perished
from cold and starvation, as there appeared signs of their having
lived on each other.'

" Arrivcd at Halifax for Quebec, Nalcy, Hunter, Montego
Bay, 2.1 days, spoken long. 61. brießobert, George, for Quebec.
" 'The bark Dunscnmbe, Harrison,r from Bristol to
michi, in ballast, was lost about the Ist June on Scaterie island;
near Main i Dieu (Cape Breton).
" Besides the above vessel which had not been heard of
before, there is the brig Sampson which sailed about the tam.;
time."
