LOSS OP THE JESSIE BY FIKE

:/;

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

Sunday afternoon, the fine brig Jessie,' M•Kenzie,
master, belonging to Messrs. Thompson, of Dumfries,'
sailed from Whitehaven for St. John's, New Brunswick,
with a valuable cargo, consisting of sails, rigging, and
other materials, for two large vessels now buiLling at
the latter place, besides a quantity of turn, Brandy,
wine, itte. The wind was but light, and the vessel was
in the offing the whole afternoon ; about seven o'clock
in the evening she was not more than a mile front
the harbour. About two o'clock on Monday morn-
ing, a fire was discovered in the fore part of her hold,
where a quantity of oakum was- stowed ; the people
below were instantly called; and so rapidly did the
flames extend, that it was with the utmost difficulty
they all got upon deck, many of them in their shirts,
and others with only their trowsers on. •In a few mi.
notes the flames issued from the fore hatch, and rage)
with irresistible fury. The crew consisted of 19 per-
sons and two passengers, a Mr. and Mrs. MiAlliston ;
and the terror and confusion which Deigned among
them, may be more easily conceived than describes.—.
Three sailors, James Hamilton, William Thotnpson,
and Alexander Hannah, lowered the jolly-boat, and
getting into her pushed off from the vessel, leaving
the rest of their shipmates to the horrible fate which
seemed yawning before them. The second in ate in.
scantly leaped into the sea, and swam towards the
boat, with the intention of inducing the men to return;
but they rowed away, and with an inhumanity almost
unparalleled, heeded neither his entreaties nor the
shouts which were sent after them from the vessel:
finding his efforts vain, he returned to the brig. Every
exertion now was used to get the long-boat overboara,
but the fire having reached her, this was accomplished
with difficulty. - As length she was launched, but not
a single oar was to be found, the fellows in the jolly.
boat having taken- three away with them. By this
time the fire had reached the rigging, and was blazing
furiously. A long pole was found, which was taken
for an oar, and the boat, with IS hands on board,
pushed off from the brig. As soon as the men in the
jolly-bpat saw the others in the boa', they lay-to for
them ; and taking the boat in tow, the whole of the
people were landed about five o'clock yesterday (Mon.
day) morning. The people lost the whole of their
clothes, except what they had on.
40 min.part 4pal.—The vessel has this moment gone
down. Her disappearance was very sudden ; the .
smoke rose in a cloud as it does from a fire when a
quantity of water is thrown upon it ; in a minute or
two the smoke cleared away, and not a vestige could
be seen of the Jessie. The boats returned about half-
past six ; and the men report, that they towed her in
shore about three miles, and that she went down, St.
Bees' Heads bearing E. by S. and Chapel Bank, N.E.
if N. distant from the harbour four miles.

The story of is A Wife of Two Husbands" hash.*
gone the round of the newspapers : we subjoin one of a
different description :—About twenty-fire years ago,
during the short peace, a young man, a tradesman iis
good circumstances in London. went to Brighton, and
tell in love with kyoung woman who lived as servant
in the house where he lodged, and after a short court.
ship he married her. Business soon after called him to
France, where he was detained in consequence of the
recommencement of hostilities till the return of peace,
during the whole of which time his wife never heard from
him, every letter having by some means miscarried. As.
soon as peace was restored, he with much difficulty
found means to return to England, and on making en-
quiries
for his Jane, he found the was again married,
and was living with her numerous offspring near the
Devil's Dike. Notwithstanding these unpleasant tidings,
he resolved once more to see her, and proceeded thither :
he found her surrounded by her family, but the bloom
of youth was gone, and the fair and sprightly Jane was
lost in the coarse features of a rude rustic, and all
around her proclaimed the reign of penury. Every
fond idea be had so long cherished in his imagination
at once vanished before the appalling conviction that
Jane could never more be his. He recur ned to Brighton
forlorn and broken-hearted, and -soon fell a sictina t,s
despondency. A daughter which she had soon tatter
he quitted her for France, has since laid claim to his pro-
perty in London, which she has recovered, and now
enjoys. The house of the once beautiful J .ne may still
be seen from the top of the Dike-bill.
Saturday, a fine little girl, about four years old, the
daughter of a respectable tradesman,, of the name of
MgDowst.c, in Dumfries, fell into a tub of hot water,
and was so dreadfully scalded, that she-espired nest day.
Last week, a young woman in the service of the
Rev. Dr. Crux's:, of Kirkpatrick-Juata, was killed by

which the had been building, and against which the
rake Stood.
On the .sth instant, as Mr. WILLIAUMNNAT, far-
mer, in Kervennee, was returteng from Wigtown. in
Galloway, he was thrown from his horse, and did
soon afterwards. •

Mether brilliant [louse assembled last night to enjoy
the magnificent niwic and scenery of Tarrare. The
applause and the encores were as frequent as ever.
BRAIIANI was again compelled to sing his beautiful
milita: y air three times, and he didit with a degree of
sritit not less admirable than the exquisite pathos with
~hich he gives snm! of tl•mie expressing the sorrows of
a de,,,hite im,hani. Miss PATON had also to repeat
some of her mns: srlendid specimens of execution and
Miss llastiLrox improves rapidly, as her eon-
&lmre Inveases, both-as an actress and as a singer;
And Miss COWARD imparts a degree of effect to the
character she fills, which prove, she is well fitted to un-
dertake others of great. r difficulty and importance.
