ST. HELENA, FEB. 26.—This island has, during the last few days,
been visited by heavy rollers, which have done considerable damage
to the shipping. In seven hours thirteen vessels were total wrecks,
eleven of which were slavers, and two lying as hulks (the Racket
and Cornelia). The harbour is covered with masts, yards, casks,
and every other descriptien of wreck. The value of property de-
stroyed on shore is estimated at 10,0001. The whole of the passage-
boats are destroyed. The most extraordinary circumstance attend-
ing this destruction was, that several merchant vessels were at
anchor, clear of the rollers, with scarcely a move. There was not
a breath of wind; the weather sultry, with occasional showers.
