LOSS of the CANADIAN.—DREAD-

FUL SUFFERING OF THE CREW.

By the Great Britain steamer advices have been received,
detailing the total loss of the brig Canadian, bound to Fal-
mouth, from Cuba, and the miraculous escape of the crew,
after enduring the most painful sufferings. The Canadian, a
vessel between 200 and 250 tons burthen, left Cienfuegos
(ease of the Cuba Islands) in the early part of the month of
March ; and on April 28, while the vessel was running
along outside the reef, known as the Jardinallos, near a
pliice called the Keys, she struck, and remained on the rock.
In, a few hours she obtained assistance from a passing vessel,
wlhich brought to and remained with her till the following
dsiy. The captain of the Canadian then left, for the pur-
pose of obtaining a steamer at Kaymar, to tow his disabled
vessel off, considering there was a probability of removing
heir with but little injury. The mate and rest of the crew
remained by her, and in the course of the following day suc-
ceeded in landing some of the ship's stores on the Keys. On
the third day, however, a frightful gale of wind sprang up,
and cut off all communication with the shore, the first
sea sweeping away the boats. The gale increasing, and the
sea running very high, she was quickly thrown on her beam
ends, every wave making a complete breach over her. The
poor fellows flew up the rigging, the only refuge left, taking
towardsthe
with them an axe to cut away the rigging should the masts
give way and go overboard. In this perilous situation they
rTmainetinearly two entire days, the brig partially going to

commitments to the castle, and the majority trs‘e.ceoridnaunifiaosteogiruaittyify.
Y of these cases
were
minor offences, there being but three of felony. Since the lstoi
June there have been but nine commitments, and of these but four
for felony. In January, 1844, at which time the construction of
railways opened so wide a field for labour in this and the adjoining
counties, there were but 15,comin eitMnts, m
a number far below any-
in the corresponding months for ten years. For the sessions next
week, there is not even a single case, nor is there at present a female
prisoner in the castle. All this tells of an improvement in the labour
market, and in the habits and morals of the population.—Cambridge
