HERO 1l; Ut/m-ju uI'OF THE
FOR 01? FALMOI;TiI.
Early on Friday morning a schoQaer was observed
to be entangled on the coast between the Manacle
rock and Pendennis Castle, with a pilot cutter near
her. Later in the morning
she stranded directly
under the cliff, above which is the mansion of the
Rev. W. J. Coope, the rector of Falmouth. She
proved to be the Mary, of Dartmouth,. of 123 tons
burden, Thomas Jarvis, master, from Acre, on the
coast of Africa, 105 days, for this port for orders.
Her cargo consisted of palm oil, the property of W. B.
Hatton and Sons, of London. Her crew were seven in
number,of whom two were blacks. They had been four-
teen days without any provisions, except an allowance
of two
table spoonfuls of flour daily, and it had been
agreed to kill the dog on board on Friday for sus-
tenance, unless relieved. The pilot cutter had joined
her at Mawnon Head, when the pilots requested the
master to pass the hawse aft, that they might take
her in tow; this was not attended to, probably from
the exhaustion of the crew, of whom two were
laid up, or it might have been from their attention
being engaged with the sails, which, one after the
other, were blowing away. In the meantime the
vessel had become entirely embayed, and could not
not get out, from the delay which had occurred. At
length the pilots told the master to let go his anchors,
for assistance was then too late, she must go on shore.
It was evident from the larboard anchor being stowed
the schooner was not prepared to meet this casualty,
but the starboard anchor was let go with 40 fathoms
of chain, but from some cause it merely temporarily
checked her going dead on the shore, the sails being
of no use from their damaged state, and at length she
was driven within 100 yards of the cliff, over the
rocks. It was by this time nine o'clock, and some
hundred persons had begun to assemble at Gyllyndune
and on the cliff; under which the stranded schooner
lay, the wares dashing over her at each return, and
the crew clinging to the lee side, making earnest ges-
tures for assistance. At length the expedient was
adopted of throwing the log line from the ship,
as a primary means of establishing communica-
tion. The rector, having a great knowledge of
the footing on the cliff, attempted to catch the
line, for which purpose he waded into the
water
,seine feet, and was nearly carried off
by a sea. To the log line a large rope was attached,
and to it a hemp cable ; the end of the cable was
fixed round a bridge in Mr. Coope's walk, near the
bathing place. The first wl:o ventured and succeeded
in reaching the shore by the cable was the mate. It
was a passage of much hazard to himself and most
considerable excitement to the bystanders, being some
seconds suspended midway, owing to the rope not
traversing the cable, and by every lurch of the vessel
dashed into the surf on the rocks. The remainder
of the crew were got on shore one by one in a barrel,
hung by a hank to the cable. As they landed they
were taken to the mansion of Mr. Coope, in which
act of benevolence the ladies of the reverend gentle•
man's family took a most prominent part. Soup,
brandy and water, coffee, and a joint of meat,
were placed before them ; the greatest care being
taken to guard against the danger to be appre-
hended from the incautious feeding of long famished
men. To those who were inclined to take rest,
beds were offered, of which three of the men took
advantage, including an African, who appeared quite
exhausted. Mr. Coupe, throughout the entire day,
remained in the vicinity of the wreck, offering every
assistance in his power. By three in the afternoon
the tide had receded from around the wreck, which
enabled a free footing to her for those employed in
landing her stores, and to the thoisands of curious
persons who wished to witness more minutely the
havoc of the morning. The vessel was found to have
lost her false keel, her rudder was broken in two, her
stern-post started, her how larboard streaks entirely
carried away, and her bottom smashed. On Saturday
71 casks of palm oil were brought round and deposited
in the cellars of Messrs. Broad and Sons. On Sunday
the weather was boisterous, and nothing further could
be saved; but on Monday a great part of the remainder
of the cargo was taken from the vessel.—Exeter

THE HUNiiARIAN PATRIOTS IN

NEW YORK.

On Saturday evening the steam-ship Hermann,
Captain Crabtree, arrived in our port from Bremer-
haven, in Germany, via Southampton, having on

on board on Sunday morning last to meet them, and
accompanied them to the Irving and Astor Houses,
where they had been invited to take up their quarters.
here we were introduced to the noble refugees, and
had the pleasure of taking them by the bead. The
Governor, Ladislas Ujhazy (pronounced Webazy),
is a venerable-looking old man, apparently about
sixty years of age. He wears a long flowing grey
beard, and had a singular striking and venerable
appearance. His manners are simple, unaffected, and
unostentatious; yet he is a nobleman by birth,
and was the possessor of a large hereditary
fortune, the greater part of which has been
seized upon and confiscated by the Austrian Govern-
ment. ills lady and daughters are like himself in
manners—simple and unpretending—though belong-
ing by birth, habits, and education, to the highest
class of European aristocracy. We were much pleased
with the personal appearance of Miss Apolonia, the
Hungarian heroine,who as rumour reports, bas fought
in many battles for the liberties of Hungary. She is
at the Irving House. She is a fine blooming, hand-
some young lady, about 24 or 25 years of age, of
pleasing address and manners, with a fine colour on
her cheeks, and quite feminine and ladylike in her
manners. No one would suspect on seeing her that
those delicate hands, enshrouded in delicate white kid
gloves, and that slender form, had ever been seen
dashing among the crowd of combatants on
the field of battle, mounted as a hussar on
horseback and dealing out wounds and death
to the enemy with flashing sword in hand. She
seemed herself quite unwilling to admit the fact, or
speak upon it, yet she showed us her hussar jacket, in
which she was attired. She would not, however, tell
us how many men she had killed. We learnt from
other sources, however, that her chief participation in
the Hungarian war had been at the head of one of
the military hospitals, where, with her own bands,
she had waited upon the sick and wounded, and had
nursed and taken care of them with all a woman's
tenderness. The calls yesterday to see these distin-
guished
very numerous.hedandamia In th
amiable suffererseevening, a

ten
rouse
were o'clock,
a grand serenade was given them, which was executed
in their honour in front of the Astor, underneath
their windows, and drew together a great crowd.
There were some fifty or sixty vocal and instrumental
performers, principally German amateurs, who per-
formed 'some of the beautiful soul stirring airs of
" Fatherland." We understand that today the Hon.
Daniel Webster is to visit the refugees.—New York

Hill of Hoad. The height of the monument is to be 150
feet. From every portion of Morecambe Bay soßtli•

ACCIDENT AT BRITANNIA•RRIDG/L.--CARNARYON,
MONDAY.—Owing to some inadvertence, correct infor-
mation had nut been conveyed to Liverpool, on Saturday,
as to the postponement of a "six foot lifting" of the
second tube, now daily progressing towards its final
resting place; the consequence of which was that the
smack tiohust, Captain Edwards, of Aberystwith, on
returning from Liverpool with a general cargo, whilst
passing the Swillies under canvass, as was necessary at
the time, struck her masts against the tube, and received
serious damage. She succeeded, however, in reaching
this town, where a great number of hands were em-
ployed, during the whole of Sunday night, repairing as
far as possible the effects of the casualty, that the vessel
may proceed on her voyage without delay.
