LOSS OF THE HENRY DAVIDSON.
Extract of a letter inserted in the Bombay Times,
from the Captain, dated " Singapore, Sept. 6.
" Sir,—l take the liberty of forwarding you an ac-
count of the loss of the Henry Davidson, of Lon-
don, 600 tons burden, with cotton, from Bombay to.
China. After leaving Singapore Roads, we pro-
ceeded, with Might winds, to the eastward. On the
night of September 2 Battam Point was made, the
weather very hazy. Pedra Branca was supposed to
be about twenty miles distant. At two A.M., a loud
rippling noise was heard at N.E., close to. The an-
chor was cleared, the lead hove, and the ship's head
turned S.W. It suddenly became calm, and in an
instant the ship drove on a. shelf of rocks under
water. Ten minutes after, there was thirteen feet of
water in the hold ; in half an hour the water was
washing over the guns on the upper deck. Another
anchor was let go, in the hope of keeping her on the
reef. At four A.M., the sea washing over the gang-
ways, we took to the boats, and made for the James,
anchored near us, with another vessel, bound through
the Straits of Rhio, all of which had drifted twenty
miles out of their supposed position, :and thus proving
our misfortune to have been caused by an unusual
current. At daylight we returned to the wreck,
and were saving some sails and materials, when she
swung off the reef, and, giving a heavy plunge, went
down headforemost, and carried wiith her a large
cutter filled with sails, and two seam en belonging to
London."

THE MONUMENT.—PERILOUS FEA.T.—Yesterday
morning a crowd of persons were assembled in the
neighbourhood of the Monument, their attention
being drawn to a man standing on the summit, above
the gilt part, which is intended to re:present flames.
It appeared that some portion of the iror-lvork at the
ball at the top required repair, an some workmen
were sent up to do it, when one more venturesome
than the rest got through the trap—door, and after
shutting down the opening stood upright at the top,
to the astonishment and fear of thee spectators, lest
he should fall from the tremendous height. He re-
mained there for some minutes, and then descended
in safety.
To THE LADIES.--The results of inlement weather
are frequently subversive of comfort at id attraction to
Ladies, by causing a naturally delicate skin to become
rough and red, and frequently accompanied by chaps
and chilblains. These innovations ar e successfully
opposed in their progress, and thorotm.hly eradicated
on their completion by the use of that inestimable
production " Rowland's Kalydor," which possesses
the most radical and purifying qualities for effectu-
, ally excluding and resisting, with a rapid energy
truly astonishing, all disorders which disorganise the
beauty of the countenance, and as inch using the fair-
ness and transparency of the skin exce eds all compe-
tition.
