SHIPWRECK-PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.

We copy the following extract from a letter re-
ceived since our last, by a respectable merchant in
this town, from Mr. Welter Burke, of Burkeville, in
the county of Galway, who had been a passenger
in the vessel wrecked, which was bound for this port
with a cargo of timber, .for Mr. Burke, of Back-
street :--

" Harris island, off the North Coast of Scotland,
December 23, 1826.

" My Dear —, After encountering one of the
most awful and unprecedented escapes ever heard of,
we were cast on the islend of Killagrey, close to this
place, on the morning of Sunday last. We sailed from
Quebec on the 15th of last November, and had the
misfortune to meet with one continued series of gales
and hurricanes until the 10th of this month, when
within about :300 miles of Slyne-head, we encoun-
tered one of the most dreadful gales of wind that ever
was known. Captain Briggs laid the ship too, under
bare poles, and continued so until next morning,
when the ship was struck .by an unlucky and tre-
mendous sea which carried away at one sweep every
article on deck, via.—our two boats, the cook-
house, water casks, cables, and all the deals which
were there. ImMediately after this, another sea
struck her and brcke in all her tipper and lower
stern-windows, carrying with it almost every article
in the cabin. Captain Briggs nod all hands were at
the pumps, but on Wednesday morning he found
they were no longer useful, as the ship was perfectly
water-logged. In a few moments the forecastle was
full of water, and all the men obliged to take
shelter in the cabin, which, fortunately was a
deck one, or we should nil hat c been obliged to
take refuge in the main-top. In this awful situa-
tion, without one drop of water to drink—with-
out a fire—without a light—without cc morsel to eat
but a bit of damaged biscuit, for twelve days and
twelve long nights, we ran about eight hundred miles
through the Atlantic Ocean, and our deck sill that
tine under water, and although we had no compass
to steer the vessel by (the binnacle and four brass
compasies being also washed away), Providence
threw us here on the rocks on Sunday morning lost,
but I regret to say with every person on board more
like skadows than men. Six of the crew had given
up six days before. We made the land from ex-
haustion ; two of the crew, Thomas Herman and
John Mglaurty (both of Galway), got deranged,
but I am happy to say they are now doing very
well, and I expect that their intellects will recover
in a few days. Captain Briggs and myself were us
badly off as the rest of the men on board, and it IV,:i
with a great deal of difficulty we walked a few
yards ashore here, to the hospitable roof of Major
11'Neil, where he and his good wife, God bless
them for it, did every thing to relieve our ex-
hausted and emaciated *frames. I must not omit to
mention that we owed the preservation of our
lit-es for twelve days, to a barrel of apples, which
Captain Briggs was carrying to Mr. P. M. Lynch,
of Galway, as a present from Mr. James Hamilton,
of Quebec ; these in some measure supplied our
want of water, and even these were all used three
days before we made the land. Had we been two
days longer on the wreck, we all must have perished,
hut may God be ever praised ! He has saved us
for a fitter time. The ship is now a complete wreck.
Captain Briggs has written to the Agent for Lloyd's
at Stornaway—and hits also sent an express to the
Custom-house. The cargo is little the worse, and
none lot.t but about sixty planks and two logs that
were on deck. Captain Briggs and myself are anx-
ious that you would give there particulars to Peter
O'Flaherty, that he may have them inserted in the
Connaught. „Tin:rnal. Write to me, and send the
Connaught Journal, both your letter and the pap-:
directed to the Post-office, Inverness. I bought
120 acres of excellent land between Quebec and
Montreal, in America, fcr 53!. I had a few presents
for my friends, which with ten gallons of fine brandy
were all lost at " one fell swoop." We forgot to
mention that the name of the ship was the John
Allen, Briggs, master, burden 600 tons.—Connaught
journal.

AUTHENTIC ANECDOTE OF HIS rRESENT
MAJFSTY, GNORGE IV. writs: Pm s'eE 0/ WALWR.—AiI
individual, named Lukin, who was then coach-maker to
his Royal Highntes, invented a life-holt, which happened
accidentally to he tern by the Prince in progress. His
Royal Highness made the most minute enquiries into its
principle, plan, and object ; with the whole of which he
was se pleased, that he desired Mr. Lukin to spare no
etpcnce to bring it to perfection, firr that he would defray
the whole cost of the experiment from his private parse.
This he actually (lid, and had the happiness to sce his be-
nevolence rewarded by the complete success of the inven-
tion.—Berkshire Chronicle.

The Clergy of the East Riding have sent a
requisition to the .Archdeacon, to convene a meeting of the
Clergy to petition against the Roman Catholic Claims.
The Archdeacon has declined acceding to the request of his
clergy; but there will, however, be a meeting shortly, for
that purpose, notwithstanding.— Yorh Chronicle.

We ob*erve a denial (rffcial of course)
of the youthful Marquis of Aberuorn having joined the
bonne at Gorhambury. We have made inquiry, minute
as the importance of the subject demanded, and we sub-
mit the result to our readers :—The young Marquis, then,
had actually thirteen beau fide shots, and two miss-fires;
his Lordship brought to hook five cock pheasants, one old
brood hen (for which he paid the usual forfeit), and very
narrowly missed bagging an elderly Field Marshal. We
enter into these minutia to show that on great occasions
we can he as official as our neighbours.—Morning
ChroNicie.

There are now living, in perfect health, in a
small village enjoining the east side of Yoxford, Suffolk,
12 men, with their wives, whose combined years, since
marriage, make 529 ; and what is remarkably singular is,
that the combined ages of the men are exactly equal to
the combined ages of the women, viss. 846 years. One
of the women has never yet slept from her own bed since
her marriage, a period of upwards of 41 years.—Cam-
bridge Chineicle.

STATE OF TRADE.—There has been no ma-
terial alteration in the cotton trade during the past week.
The demand for yarn has been rather better; but in piece
goods, particularly in printing cloth, there is no improve-
ment whatever. On the contrary, we understand the
sales of hand•loom cloth are rather more difficult to make
than they were last week. In consequence of the turn-
out of power-loom weavers at Stockport, a small advance
has been asked upon cloth of that description; bet we be-
lieve it has been obtained only in very few instances. There
are now nearly twenty mills off work at Stockport, in con-
sequence of the work-people, spinners, and power-weavers,
refusing fo accept a reduced rate of wages, and the num-
ber of persons thus thrown out of employment is said to
amount to near MOO. There has been also a partial
turn-out of fustian-cutters in this town. We trust
that the state of trade will soo❑ enable the manufac-
turer to return to the prices he has lately given ; for
though the present state of the market is discouraging
enough, it is too early in the season to form an eyleion
upon its future Prospects. The shipments to the United
States will undoubtedly be small as compared with those
of I Ist spring, which were the heaviest ever known ; but
political events do not affect cur intercourse with some
other quarters so prejudicially as they did during tin• greater
part of last year. Buenos Ayres is once more an open
port, and there is reason to helices that the trade to Por-
tugal, and to Turkey and the Levant, ntly now he car-
ried on with perfect safety. We observe that the ship-
merits to all these quarters have very much increased der-
ing the last few weeks. trust, therefore, that in a
short time we shall See a considerable ariendtnent in tLe
prospects of the cettou trade.—Blanchester Herald.
