YARMOUTII, SEPT. 18.

The prompt and humane exertions afforded by
Captain Travers, of his Majesty's ship Rose, on
the North American station, towards the relief of
two vesAels in distress, have received the following
encomiums

" We cannot help applauding the generous and.
magnanimous conduct of the commander of the Bri-
tish sloop of war Rose, who was anchored off this •
port, at the time the Vermont came through the
Narrows. No sooner was she discovered to be in
a crippled state, and in need of help, than . several
boats were sent from the Rose, filled with men,
who with the greatest alacrity assisted in clearing
the wreck, and in warping•her up opposite the
wharfs, and it is with great pleasure we publish the
following
:card Captain Shepard, of the brig
Teritiont, of Newhaven, Connecticut, returns his -
most sincere thanks to E. Travers, Esq., command'

- -
ing the British sloop of war Rose, for his prompt-
ness in rendering assistance while in a distressed •
situation, and to the officers and crew who aided in
bringing his vessel into port.' "—East Port News-

THE SHIP JANE, OF BELFAST.

The following statement respecting the perilous
situation of the Jane, which sailed from Belfast,
was sworn to by the passengers, and published in
the Quebec papers:—
" They sailed from the Loch of Belfast on the 6th
of June, in said ship, commanded by Mr. Alexander
M'Lean. Nothing particular occurred during the
passage; order and regularity was maintained on
board. Sounded on the (hand Bank of Newfound-
land on the 7th of July, 1829, and on the evening
of the 13th of July, being enveloped with fog, a
strict look-out was ordered by the ,Captain, and
soundings regularly tried ; for the second mate an-
nounced he thought he heard the noise of breakers
a-head. This, in a few minutes, proved to be the
case, when the Captain instantly hauled his wind,
but the lightness of the breeze rendered it ineffectual.
Our Captain sounded in 25 fathoms; the vessel, in
spite of every exertion, continued to drive towards
the rocks. lie let go his best bower anchor and
chain cable, but still continuing to drive, he let go
the small bower. The jolly boat, by the mate arid
some of the crew, with the consent of the Captains •
was lowered down, when he, the said mate, and six
of the crew, pulled off under pretence of trying
soundings round the ship. Being no appearance of
their return, about midnight the passengers became
anxiously alarmed, and, along with the crew left be-
hind, insisted upon the Captain to hoist the long
boat out to endeavour to effect a landing for them,
with which solicitation he reluctantly complied, the
anchors appearing to hold at that time. Fifty. four ,
of the passengers, with two sailors, went ill
the boat, and did effect a safe landing on the
coast of Newfoundland, about six miles distant
from the ship. At noon a light air of wind
appeared to blow from the land, when the
jolly boat and crew appeared, came on board, and
commenced immediately to warp her off the rocks' •
which were then within one mile and a half cable
length of the ship. About half an hour after, the
long boat came back to the ship, having landed the
passengers all safely on an inhabited spot. On the
same evening about three, one of the shore boat!
came off, with a boat and four men, and a passenger
' named Patrick (Taw. The said boat returned, after ,
being about an hour on board. The long boat e'el
despatched at five p.m. with two passengers, a"
two sailors, to bring all the passengers on board wilt:,

opportunity of getting her clear of the breakenkj
The long boat was not long away when the wile'
began to blow right a-head. All the anchors, feet
in number, were cast, but the breeze, along with the
current, made them not hold securely.
" At ten p.m. the mate, and seven of the cre°'
perceiving their perilous situation, slipped into the
jolly-boat, without acquainting the Captain, and alto'
gether without his knowledge, and absconded the
vessel, leaving only two sailors to assist the Captain
in this perilous situation.

exertion on his part, and the wind shifting along Ole
land a little, when only within eight or ten yard°

half an hour he had her nearly clear off. The re..

highest approbation of the steady, manly, and seri.,
manlike conduct of Captain M4Lean on this critical
occasion.
