SHIPWRECK OF THE BRIG JESSIE.

It has never been our lot to record a more melancholy
catastrophe than the loss of this vessel, on her home-
ward passage from the river St. Lawrence. Otlthelgth
of May last, the master of the mail-boat from Prince
Edward's Island to Pictou, discovered part* Of the wreck
of a vessel stranded on the Isle of St. Paul's, a barren
rock, about half a mile in circuMference, 200 mites
from Cape Breton, and SOO to 400 from Three Rivers.
rt was soon discovered to be the remains of the Jessie,
but no living creature was to be seen neat her. On land-
ing,
the boatmen found a weather-beaten temporary hut,
and within it the awful spectacle of the passengers and
crew of the Jessie, twenty-two in number, all dead.
From the remnants of barrels, and other appearances, it
was evident that on being wrecked on this di eary, in-
hospitable spot, they had succeeded in erecting the hut
with such materials as had been washed on shere from
the wreck, and had saved some portion of the provi-
lions ; but that, after the most dreadful sufferings from
cold, owing to inadequate shelter, and the want of food
and fuel, they had perished under the united rigouri-of
&mine, and the storms of an almost polar winter. 'li'Vh4t
their sufferings must have been, or•how long the stoutest
amongst them were doomed to behold the pallid bodies
of their companions while the hand of death. pressed
upon their own, there is now no tongue to tell. • There
were amongst them, besides ,the lamented Commander
of the brig, Mr. Donald M'Kay, the owner of the ves-
sel, and 'Mr. Forbes, of Miramichi, partner'of Mr.
Drinkwiter, of LiierpOol. The namiiiof the other of-

brought before Sir RIC:WARD BIXIOX, yebtatraiy 'morning,' was 'a
stout comely young fellow, named CharrerNdward Learsvorthy—'
a sort of foreman in a carpentry estabiliOnsent, and evkh*ly
upon capital terms with himself. He had been found by the watch-
men, at two o'clock in the morning, thundering at a public-boon
door in Shire-lane ; and upon their using seine watchman-like argu-
ments to induce him to desist, be treated them wish a few "smash-
ing hits." So they bundled him up, sud put him in the watch-
house to cool.

Sir MCNABB asked what he bad to say in his defence ; and he re-
plied. " Why, Sir Richard, I'd got a spark in sty throat, and was
very naturally trying to get a draught of Uqoor to quench it; when,
all in a momeeti I feels somebody lay hold-of my collar' and pull

aCo along with you—yon blackguard!' saysthey; shan't,' says
; and with that they seizes me by the coast again, and knuckles
me! Now, Sir Richard; an RogUshatan doesn't like to be knuckled,
and so, perhaps, I did give 'era an odd thump or two."
" Pray are you often troubled with that spark in the throat ?"
said the Magistrate.
as Why not tery often, Sir Richard," replied he; 64 but when I

" This may quench it much better by drinking cheaply," rejoined
