The barque Christina, Captahl Hog-artll, arrived be?l'
yestertriar from Demerara. On the airth November, IS
she saw a vessel waterlogged, which proved to be
the hartine David, from Quebec, bound for Plymouth.
The wind was blosaitib very hard at the time,,witY
ractulons sea ; but Captah Hogan?: succeeded in ekingoff the rigging fourteen of the crew and passengers ; uve
having been previously washed overboard. One of the roe"
thus rescued dies au Sunday night, and'the remaining.thn'
teen were landed yesterday afternoon, and retrieved to the
Northern Hospital, their feet having been frost bitten.
While in the rigging, the crew saw an American brig Pa's
with a gilt scroll head, but she did not lay to or make aiV
attempt to rescue them from their perilous situation. The
St. David had been eleven days from Quebec.—Liverpool
Standard.
On the 13th November the Britannia, Andrews, sailed
from Miramichi for Cork, laden with timber. On the 215 t,
in lat. 46. 14., long. 39. 41.,.5he encountered a very severe
gale, with a tremendous sea. After scudding for six hour
un,:lcr close-reefed maintopsail, she rounded with a tarpeulio
in the ruain and another in the mizen rigging, all the other
sails having been previously blown away. The crew were
then obliged t!). ease the vessel by cutting away 11'
maintop-gallantmaEt and maintopmast yards. Notwith-
standing this she wag hove on her beam-ends, everything
on the deck carried away, her waterways opening three
inches on her starboard side. When she righted the Men
were constantly at the pumps for two days and nights, with
15 feet water in the hold. Finding they could not keep her
clear, the men gave themselves up for lost, and declared theY
would sooner die than continue to endure the excessive fatigue
they had undergone. As she gave no indication of sinking,
six of the men got some pork into the tops, and remained
there four days and nights, while the captain, the mate,
and the other hands kept on deck, under the shelter of the
roundhouse, preferring the wet to the extreme cold aloft.
After being in this deplorable situation for several days, the
weather having moderated, they contrived to bend the fore-
sail, and put the ship before the wind, having got .out
the track of vessels ; but the wind again blew " great
guns," and the gale came on with still greaisfw violence, and
carried it away. In this state of distress the;' were hailed
by the Rialto of Liverpool, and the crew were taken 011
board that vessel, and landed here on Sunday. The men,
are in a most pitiable state, and their sufferings front
and hunger,were most intense. They state that they Ore"
on raw provisions for ten days !—Liverpool Standard.
Liformation has been received of the loss of the brie
Majestic, of Arbroath, Captain Leslie, at Summer's Island,
in the Gulf of Finland. The Majestic, it appears, left
Cronstadt, with a full cargo of tallow, for London, on the
28th of October, with a light southerly wind, which coo-
tinued to the Ist of November, when a strong breeze from
the eastward came on, the snow falling in clouds around
i
them. At the close of that day the wind chopped round
to the cast, with a little northing—a heavy gale, accoor
panied with art intense frost, and much snow. The
vessel was put under easy sail, with the lead going,
through the night, the master considering he was in a
good fair way, till about six in the morning of the
when the vessel struck the ground heavily, at which utna
the snow was falling so thick,. that the mountain of rocb
could not be discovered. The- boat was got out with much
difficulty, when' the crew left the ship, and landed safely
on Summer's Island, a barren spot, a.vid destitute of inhabit-
ants. Fortunately, a wooden hut was discovered on the
rock, and afforded slight shelter from the inclemency of the
weather to the shipwrecked mariners. On the 4th of Na
vember the gale abated, whon the boat put oft' to the wreck.
and brought sonic provisions, sails, &c., on shore. Captaa'
Leslie having been shortly after visited by the t.lgent far
Lloyd's, at the suggestion of the latter, he Oespatcised.tbe
crew home by Le Frederickshaven, under protection °r
the British Consul, he himself remaining behind to s(.3°
every thing done to the interest of all parties concerned, ra
disposing of whatever part of the wreck may be preserve'
to the best advantage. The Majestic was a fine brig e":
155 tons register, built in 1832, and her commander, f
skill, wariness, and sobriety, is justly placed in the first ran'
amongst those of his calling that sail from the port.
