NATAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Fame, CLAIM, from Madras and Calcutta to London,
was totally lost off the Cape of Good Hope on the 14th of June.
This disaster occurred in beating out of Table Bay, with a heavy
swell rolling on shore, when the vessel missed stays' and, not-
withstanding every exertion. by anchoring, to. keep her off, she
drove on the most rocky part of Sea Point. Providentially, be-
fore she parted asunder the greater part of the passengers and
crew were saved by boats from Table Bay, though at the immi-
nent peril of those who ventured out to their rescue. The per-
sons lost were Mr. Corrnt, the Purser; Mrs. Muss, Miss
Banes, and Master MATO, passengers; four seamen and invalids.
The Grace, Captain LZTDIBIUDOZ, another valuable ship,
with wool, &c. from New South Wales for England, was acci-
dentally burnt on the Ist June, at the Cape. Ibis accident ori-
ginated from the heating of the wool, which formed the greater
part of her cargo, and she was run on shore while unSre, which
enabled them to save the crew and passengers. The loss of
these two vessels will be severely felt by the Underwriters, as
upwards of £lOO,OOO was insured at Lloyd's.
Information has been received that the Zephyr, Captain Lars-
DMA, on her passage from Jamaica to London, was boarded on
the 7th July, by a schooner of two"guns and 35 men, which took
away a part of the cargo and threw the remainder overboard.—
Captain LIDISDALL was obliged to pay the pirates doubloons and
silver to the amount of £1,500, to prevent them from burning
the ship. All the passengers were robbed of their property, and
the Mate was detained en board the pirate.

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Hull, dated
24th instant :—" A letter has been received via Bremen, from
Captain Tuostrson, of the Perseverance, dated Greenland, 7th
of July, in about lat. 71. He had then only one fish, and stated
that tbe season had been very unfavourable, most of the ships
being very badly fished. Ile was then running for the west
land, and intended to stop as long as possible, but the weather
was very thick, and the ice remarkably heavy and close. It is
later now than was ever known to be without intelligence from
Davis' Straits, or an arrival•from Greenland, but the reason is
partly accounted for in the letter from Captain Tnomesou."
The Herring, from Quebec to Greenoock, and the Spence,
from Miramichi to Liverpool, are lost in St. Mary's Bay, New-
foundland.
Ten Revenue cruizers are ordered to be paid off; among
which number are the following :—Fancy, Harpy, Redbreast,

An order has arrived at Plymouth Custom-house to abate in
future what are called the extra or foreign light dues, hitherto
payable by ships arriving from abroad.
