Saat.a, Masai 45.—Last week, during a severe gale, a vessel

paad off the back of Tresco Island, with a signal for a pilot
although there was one on board, and the flag had been
keptdisplayed by an oversight. A row-boat from 'Fresco, having
on board a branch pilot and four other men, proceeded towards
her ; but when within less distance than twice the length of the
vessel, the sea rur.ning tremendously high, the boat was ovorseta
mid the whole of her crew were precipitated into the waves.'
The ;Slot wt board earnestly begged the Captain either to Itresett
a boat or to put about the ship; but this he refused, alleging his
apprehensions that the safety of his vessel would be endangered.
Had the least exertion of the above kind been made, it is pro-
bable that all the unfortunate men would have been saved;
whereas, on the contrary, three of them, after a (slat struggle,
during which their shrieks were heart-rending, sunk to rise no
more! The other two, after having been in the water some
hours, were taken up apparently lifeless, by a boat which put off
from 'fresco for that purpose, and were at length restored to
atiimution. Oar of the persons drowned has left R wife and four
chddreu ; the other two were single men. They were all of
exemplary character.

A letter from Madrid, dated March 20, says—
" The factious are again at Guadalajara. Yesterday
morning, an advanced guard of seventy cavalry ar-
rived in Alcala, to reconnoitre the town, and, after
some skirmishing in the streets and seighbourhood
with the Constitutionalists, they retired towards Gua-
dalajara. 'Troops have gone out from Madrid in pur-
suit of thee'
The following extract of a letter from Mr. J. Wit.-
Lusts, and is dated April 2s, 1822, on board ship at
anchor in Kororadica Bay in New Zealand, gives a
shocking detail of the savage barbarity of the natives.
—"I went on shore the other day, and saw the head
of a very great Chief belonging to the River Thames,
with whose party Shungee has gone to war. The
Chief's name was Hinakee, a very large fine man; it
is said he received four balls before he fell. Imme-
diately after he fell, Shungee, with a revengeful glee,
caught his blood as it was streaming from his veins,
and drank it with all the eagerness possible. But
this is not all; they cnt him limb from limb, roasted
him, and ate-a delicious meal of him.
The large canoes are now returning from the.
au in every direction. The day before yesterday
three returned, one or two of which had a man's head
at the head and stern, and several prisoners they had
taken in the war. One of our seamen went on shore
it a chiet's place, whose name is Pomare, and saw
ten.heads, all preserved, brought from the war, one
of which was a child's, about 18 months old, proba-
bly the child of a great chief. Poor Hinakee had
WI brothers, the one almost as fine a man as him-
self; the other a fine young man about 18 or 20
Pars old, all massacred, and all eaten except their
Inds, which they preserve, either as tokens of vie-
14Y, or to sell to Christians for muskets or powder,
to enable them to execute more effectually their
wicked deeds." •
SZDDEN DEATH.—It is with feelings of' deep re-
gret that we have to announce.the death of RICHA
eb
CROIVPER, Esq. one of the Proprietors of the Public
tdger,, who de9arted this life suddenly, but calmly
Ind gently, as he lad lived, on Sunday night. At
rght o'clock on 'that evening he was at the Office,
l'aPpy and cheerful as usual, but after returning home,
atd sopping with his family, he was seised with a fit
apoplexy ; and although medical• aid was instantly
Prftored, let it was vain, and this amiable man tran-
(10111y breathed his last ! To those who bad the hap-
rneis of Mr. Creowrittes friendship (and he was the
friend of every virtuous honest man), it is unnecessary
2_l ."ell on those domestic and social virtues which
"io eminently possessed. A widow and eig,ht chi).
41Pa have
s troth to deplore the loss of a fond husband, and
parent--a large circle of acquaintance, the
.11"111 of a sincere friend. Mr. CROWDSA was, we
!anti,fatal aback
about forty years of age; and, until the
;back which ca: rigid him off, enjoyed excel-
ket health.
