We regret to have to anuounce the total loss of the
Mary Hartley, a barqtie of about 700 tons burden, the
property of Messrs. Clarke, of Liverpool.
It appears that the ill-fated vessel left Liverpool on
the 15th Feb. last year, under the command of tear:tank
Bartlett, wits a general cargo, bound. for Arica, on the
Peruvian coast. From the time elm Jett Liverpool to
the very morneet she went down the vessel appears to
have wet with a continuous series of disasters. Whilst
on her outward passage she encountered a swiss of con-
trary winds awl rough weather. After having gone
through the buffeting, of the gale, she at length made
far Rio Janeiro, at winch port she was obliged to put
in for repairs. These repairs having been effected, she
left Rio on Good Friday last year, after a dtt.mtioa of
ten days. Shortly after patting to sea she again en-
countered violent gales, end whilst doubling Cape
horn, the tooip,,st whi,il she had to brave was most
terrific for several days. - She at length arrived at
Arica all safe, with the exception of the loss of one
lean, who was washed overboard during the raging of
the storm, whilst the vessel was making the Horn.
After discharging a portion of her cargo at Arica she
then sailed for flay, where she discharged the rest
of her cars., and ,theace she halted for Iquique,.
where she took in a, valuable cargo on her-return
voyage to Liverpool. Leaving Iquique she returned to
Islay and Arica, at which places she completed her
return cargo. During the • whole of her passage from
Arica and back she wive again subjected to the most, vio-
lent gales.
Oa the 15th of Nov. last year she left Arica on her
homeward voyage to Liverpool, and from the day she set
sail she experienced a succession of heavy and violent
gates, and for several days the vessel and crew were con-
sidered to be in the greatest danger. At the expiration
of the fifth day after leaving Arica the storm subsided,
and the vessel made good way for the next day or two.
Shortly after this, t) add to the disasters which bad
already befallen the ship, sickness broke out amongst the '
crew, and the vessel was compelled to put in at Pernam-
buco, where she left a number of the crew ill in the hos-
pital. After taking on board fresh hands at Pernambuco
to make tep the complement, of her crew, she sailed for
Liverpool ou the lst of Feb. in the present year. From
the tioue of her leaving Pernambeco she again encoun-
tered the most frightful gales, and for several days and
nights she was tossed about without uLiking any way,
and became almost unmantigeabl-e. The violence of the
storm continued day by day to increase, and on the
morning of the nth of Feb. it had attained a most ter-
rific height, and both the vessel and crew were placed in
the most immilient peril. At length, about mid-day on
the nth, a tremendous sea streak- the ship, and imme-
Aiately afterwards it was discovered that she had sprung
a leak. As soon as the captain discovered that the yes.
sel was rapidly filling with water, all hands were ordered
to the pump, but in spite of every exertion the water
gained tearfully upon them, and the-ship was seen to be
sinking with extraordinary rapidity. The captain, now
perceiving that there was no chance of saving the vessel,
at once ordered the toats to be lowered, and the halide
had scarcely got into the boats when the ship went
down, nut a vestige of her remaining. This was is
9 N., long. 45 NV., and about GOO miles from land.
The Bellona sailed from Demerara for Liverpool on
the 24th of Feb., having the -crew of the Mary Hartley
on hoard, and is now daily expected in the port.
The value of the earge which the Mary Hartley had
on board when she emit; is estimated at between 50,0001.
and 00,100/. Beth vessel and cargo were partly insured.

SUNKEN VESSEL RECOVERY COMPANY— The prospee•
tus of a company tird,-r the above name has been issued,
with a capital of 60,0001. in 10/. shares, to carry out a
patent of Captain Stephen Smith. The average annual
number of wrecks on the coasts of the united kingdom
exceeds COO, and the amount of property lost is so large
as to create a wish for the success of any enterprise that
may promise to lessen the evil.

A GLORIOUS AUDITION ! —Said the Scythian to ambae-
sailors to Alexander, "If your person were as vast as
your ambition the world would not contain you." We
have now in oar midst a conqueror whose ambition is as
boundless as Alexander's. Tile old world was tit) narrow
a sphere for its exercise, rind he has Aought the new. We
refer to Professor HolloYhty, whose desire to benefit man-
kind, unsated by the Countless cures his medicines have
accomplished, is now actively engaged in revolutionising
the treatment of disease in this country. Conquest and
subjugation are his objects—the conquest and subjuga-
tion of the various maladies that afflict the human race.
The trophies of his skill are to be found in every region of
the earth, for his remedies are onanipoteet, and wherever
they have penetrated, disease has given way to their by-
geian influence.. Perhaps there are not half a dozen news-
papers in existence that have not borne voluntary testi-
mony to the wonder-working efficacy of Holloway's pills
and ointment. It has heretofore been the universal
complaint against even the most popular medicines, that
they were mere palliatives, relieving pain temporarily,
perhaps, hut never reaching the "enateries morbi:, or
element of disease in the blcod. Holloway's pills, on
the contrary, act -specifically upon the primary cure of
the malady in the fluids of the body-, and from which
thoyispring. In external disease the ointment is used as
are arixiliary to the pills, and its sanitary effects are
vsearaely less wonderful. We make these assertions—bold
as they may seem—on solid grounds. We have warrant
for them in the admissions of the faculty—in the state-
rneuts of standard ruedicaliperiodicals on both sides of the
Atlantic--in the published acknowledgments of thou-
mods of grateful convalescents--and last, but not least,
eofar as our private convictions are concerned, in our own
personal experience and observation. Tu the man Ns hose
profound research and practical skill in medical science
have resulted in the production of such unequalled cure-
tieee, and whose biisinece, energy, and enterprise have
diffused them through every inhabited region between
the Equator and the Poles, the h9mage of the world
iv due. He has received it. Wherever he has travelled
his journeys have resembled a triumphal progress, and
the most haughty of Europe's aristocracy have been
proud to assist at his levees. He is now a resident--
and we hope he will become a citizen —of a land where
the only titles recognised are the titles to respect and
gratitude earned by public benefactors. Among that
(lass he Las long, ?ANA pre-eminent, and it is perhaps
not tso much to say that his European and American
central manufactories, London, and New York, are
tieing more practical good than all the medical' collejes
of toren° and America combined.--tiew York Sun clay
