THE RECENT CALAMITY OFF

DOVER AND LOSS OF. EIGHT LIVES.
DOVER, WEDNESDAY.—This morning Charles Rathke,
the mate of the ill-fated Prussian bark Prosperator, with
the boatswain, Martin Hakendorff, and Eanzen, the sea-
man, who received an injury of the knee, embarked on
board the Adelaide steam-boat, lying in the harbour, for
the purpose of proceeding to the Prussian Consul in
London, to obtain his assistance. It will be remem-
bered that Eanzen received a violent blow from the
mainyard of the Russian bark John of Riga. as he was
in the act of leaping on board while the Prosperator was
going down. He was taken to the Almshouses, and this
morning he was so far recovered as to be able to walk.
The survivors have been comfortably provided for,
and experienced the kindest treatment from Mr.
W. Latham, the agent of Lloyd's for this port.
The situation of , the poor fellows entitled them
to commiseration, they having. lost every article
that they possessed except what they stood in.
The Prosperator, it appears, was built about ten years
since, And was.of 230 tons burden, and had on board at
the time of the catastrophe no less than 1,873 lengths of
iron rails. No particle of her cargo has been washed up,'
and from the depth of water in which she lies there is
not the slightest probability that any of it will be reco-
vered, or that any of the bodies of the eight unfortunate
persons who perished by the collision will be got out of
the vessel. The Russian bark John is now undergoing
repairs ; the damage done to her is of an extensive na-
ture, and the survey has not yet been completed. Her
figure head, having been split, has been removed, and her
bowsprit and all her foretopsails were carried away or
greatly damaged, in addition to the extensive injury
done to her larboard bow. She is a fine vessel, and has
only been built three years, and to her superior strength
and tonnage (she being 350 tons burden) may be ascribed
her escape from sharing the fate of the Prosperator. It
will require some time to elapse before she is sufficiently
-naired to proceed to Bilboti, whither she is bound.

We understand that the Balquhain tenantry, in
celebration of the majority of their young landlord,
Count Leslie, and of his return to this country, have in-
vited him to dinner on Tuesday next, the 27th inst. A
number of the neighbouring proprietors have been in-
vited to meet the Count, along with his noble relative,
the Lord 11
ovat. We have the greatest pleasure in re-
ferring to
'such instances of right feeling between land-
lord and tenant, of which the County of Aberdeen has
lately exhibited many pleasing examples.—Aberdeen
Paper.
We believe the breed of partridges is generally
good in, the adjoining counties, although in many of the
coveys the birds are rather small.—Bristol Standard.
