Letter.)—Extraet of a lettet dated. Sable. Island, June 14,
and 'forwarded in a letter, dated July 12, to a respectable
.gentleman in "'shills town :—" This Will be unfortunate and
.unexpeeted newt' to you, when ' I inform you of the loss of
:the Hope; and every thing belonging to her, which hap-
pened 'on the 4th of June, at 5 a. m., on the N. E. side of

midnight, a light breeze from 'the southward ; then it broke 'off,.
and came on a thick fog, but very little wind. When,she struck
jwe could, not see the land, altho' but fifty fathoms fro it. She
heat heaVy for a feiv hours, until shigot sunk in the sand. It Was
'a Melancholy sight to see the confusion amongst the passengers
during this -tittle; running about without 'clothes. M'e put the
small boat out to send some people on shine, but she unfortun-
ately! upset with four people in her; and one man passenger was
drowned. We thcn put out the long-boat;' and landed, the pas.

vessel on the 20t OrMay last, bound to Boston, and. wasin
j compsiny with her several dayii. After we found the Governor's
house, .the captain proposed taking the boats and clothes they
had saved to the house, with Mr. Foster (my cabin paSsenger.)
The boat unfortunately upset, and. Mr. 'Ritter, three of my
women passengers, and one of the, brig's crew, were drowned.

MELAWCIOLY CATASTROPIIIi.—IFront the Cambrian.—
Further Particidiri.l--A number of persons who had been
attending divine worship at a Calviniaic chapel' at Lansam-
let, dextrous of reaching home .by a less circuitous route
than cross the regular ferry, about thirty got into a small
boat at Foxhole, a little above the town, and had 'nearly
reached the opposite shore, when the boat came in contact
with a vessel that was moored to' the quay, contiguous to
the pipe.tuariufactory. This circumstance, though' trivial in
itself;' :to alarmed the women, that they all-rushed to the same
aide of the boat,, which was immediately upset, and the whole
of the persons in it <with die exception of two, who were fortu-
nate enough to leap into shallow water) were precipitated into

,was painfully awful ; men and women were seen struggling

ance were heart-rending in the extreme. Every exertion
was made by, the *men and others present to save the unfortu.
nate persons fronr perishing, and through' their praiseworthy
efibrts seventeen or eighteen were brought on shore; but, alas!
ten of, the'number sunk to rise no more: The bodies of the tin..

SEDUCTION.--A Mee, remarkable for its ro-
mantic tietaili, was thli morning tried 'before the Sixtli CoraH
rectional Tribunal. The Sieur Azzolari de Bergame, aged 23
years, was forced, in 1021, by the political events which agitated
Piedmont, to quit the' city of Turin, where he studied
medicine. Flying to France, he fixed los retiidence at 'Parisi,
and took lodgings at the house of a locksmith, who had U.
young and pretty daughter.. Azzolari abutted the rights
of hospitality, and seduced the daughter of his host, 'The
father; discovering this criminal intrigue, reproached Az::
zolari, for the baseness of his conduct, and a violent quarrel
ensued. Azzolari, in his fury, bit the finger of his host with so
much' violence as' to take off the nail. After this affair, Azzo-
lari took the young girl, and proctreded to Versailles. Here
they lived together some,days ; when deprived of the means of
living, and reduced to despair, the two lovers .mutually aereed
to put an' end to their existence. They hesitated for n time
between.' pistOl and poison ; but soon deciding for the latter,
they took a beverage composed of white vitrol infused in water.
The medical men have since &ORM, that the'beverage Was
not powerful enough to cause death. Azzolari and his mils
tress were relieved from the effect of the potion by emetics.—
Justice now followed on their steps, and .Azzolari, was arrest-
ed. The Chamber of Accusation which had the coghizance of
the affair, acquitted the accused the charge of poisoning;
end even that of abduction, on the ground, that the young
girl was more than sixteen years old when she voluntarily fol.
lowed her seducer. The only charge 'which could be Main-
tained against the prisoner, was that for the civil injury, at the
snit of the father; and Azzolari was sentenced to a years's fin-
pristinment, and to pay a tine of fifty franes.—(l)aris Pnper of
Saturday.)
EXPLOSION OF TUE POWDER-MILLS AT 1401V•WOOD,
NEAR CAIITMEL.—On Monday last, about six o'clock in the,
evening, the corning-mill belonging to Messrs. Baker and Co.
blew up. The report was tremendous, and was instantly
followed by another, not less awful, from the adjoining mill t
indeed, they were distinctly heard at the distance of 10 tir 12
miles, and it is impossible to desciihe the effect upon'the
immediate neighbourhood. The explosion was sUterrdic, that
it shook the earth at a considerable.distance, with as much
force as an earthquake could have done;: and slates, stones,
and several pieces of iron were carried many "hundred yards,
and forced into the ground: One house (Mr. Pratt's, the
Low-wood Inn) was completely runt from top to bottom, and
several panes of glass were broken ; the smoke, forming a
dense cloud, seemed to be suspended over the ruins of the mill
for the space of five minutes ; and after it had become a little
rarlfied, the neighbours assembled, and began to remove the
timber and other materials, hi order to find the bodies of the
workmen,. one of whim: they soon discovered,'but he was so
dreadfully mutilated that be only survived a short titnc I his
