Cowan, AuG. 16.—The annual review of the Isle of Wight
Pilot Vessels took place on Wednesday, according to ancient
custom. They came out of harbour according to their respec-
tive numbers, and proceeded round the several buoys off the
Brambles. The muster was not so great as formerly.
The Zoe, pilot-vessel, of this port, D. Corke, owner,, ar-
rived yesterday, having on board the master and crew of the
Bremen vessel Marie, N. Ruyter, master, with a cargo of
sugar and coffee from Havannah, which vessel was unfortu-
nately run down and immediately sunk, on the evening of the
13th instant, off Beachy Head, by the American ship Dal-
matia, from Osterid, bound to St. Übes.
Last week was launched from the building yard of Mr.
White, sen., a remarkably fine ship of 420 tons register bur-
den, the property of S. Enderby, Esq., of London, whose
name is pre-eminent in the Southern Fishery, of which he was
justly denominated, and has ever since ,been 'esteemed, the
founder, having in 1775, and many years previously, carried it
on with persevering spirit, when the United States was a co-
lony of Great Britain. The ship is adapted for the South Sea
service, and is the first that has undergone thoroughly Mr.
Kyan's process for the prevention of dry rot, every plank and
timber having been saturated with his patent solution, which
has for it„,obje,c,,t the durability of property, and subsequent
preservatioiL jr-.. e. She was very aptly and gracefully chris-
tened The Sam, 1 Enderby, by Miss Garrett, daughter of
Admiral Garrett.
