" ILLARET."

A most -extraordinary escape of a Mr. Rowe,
merchant, of Tarpoint, near Plymouth Dock,
is
mentioned in a letter from Cork. He sailed for
Bristol in a vessel repaired in Ireland•. At sea, in
St. George's Channel, she sprung aleuk, by start-
ing a butt-end, in a violent gale of wind. Mr.
Row E., finding the ship in a %,ery leaky condition,
took to the jolly_boat, with a little biscuit 'and wa-
ter, and put off in .the middle of St. George's Char-
nel. The boat soon separated. Mr. RowE, and
two seamen with him, kept rowing all that day and
night. On the morning of the second day, Mr.
RowE was so exhausted, that he lay down in the
boar, and declared that he could row no farther. A
sail hove in-sight, exhausted as the men were, they
pulled towards it, but found it their own leaky
vessel. Disappointed, they pulled off:again, after
having taken in a compass, and steered for Ireland ;
and fortunately, both the ship, leaky as she was,
with the boat, arrived in the port of Waterford,
within a few minutes of each other.

On Monday se'nnight, an aged couple,- who had
courted for some time (the man a widower, and the
testier female a supposed widow) presented themselves
at the altar of Hymen, in the parish church of Preston,
Lancashire, for the purpose of being linked together,
for better or worse, during life ; but, to their great
disappointment, when the clergyman was proceeding
to the altar, to perform-the solemn rite, a friend cf
the intended bridegroom, who was interested in his
future happiness, suddenly stepped forward, and,
presenting a letter' to the Vicar, made known, that
the intended brik had a husbandstill living ; where-
upon his Reverence put the: very proper question to
her, Whether so or not ? to which she candidly re-
plied, That she had been mit fied some years, but her
husband being absent, and not having heard from
him for some time, she thought it convenient to
marry another.—After a very expressive reprimand
from the Vicar, the parties retired, much abashed,
and seemingly dissatified.
