The Singapore Chronicle of August 30, says—We regret
Lion the total loss of a very fine ship, the Loretto, which let
port on the 22d of last month, bound for London. She proceeded
safely on her voyage till the nth of this month, when at 4 r.-
were abreast of an island, described as lying off the east
Carimata, and which at six P.M. bore S.W. by W. W
soundings of ten, eleven, and twelve fathoms, and continuii
eoutse, at half-past nine the vessel grounded on a shoal, the
above-mentioned bearing from it N.W. Carimata W.S.W.
group of islands bearing from S.E. to S.E. E. the latituth
shoal being 1 deg. 35 nun. South, and the bottom of con
with soft sand or mud. All endeavours to gets he vessel off
fruitless. For the first three days she made little or no oral

on the fourth she began rapidly to fill, owing, as was suppi
the starting of a plank. The pumps were of course set
but with so little erect, that she had soon thirteen feet w.stf

well. Her situation being now desperate; all hands took
boats, which were well provided with water, provisions, and
and in about a quarter of an hour from quitting the ship, for
her taken possession of by five or six pirate prams which in
hovering around for two or three days before, like vultures
log for a dying prey. The boats made the best of their
this port, and arrived here on the 20th inst. all well.
Gamortice, Jaw. 18.—Wednesday, the 16th instant, the
brig, Captain Munroe, bound for Demerara, and the Jane I.
a large brig, 550 toms register, fur Calcutta, and the rlladai
also a large vessel, outward bound, together with several
smaller vessels, sailed from this pot., the wind blowing hard from
S.E. During the night, the wind increased to a heavy gale, with.
snow and sleet, and the Hawk having been beat out as far as Lam-
lash, was compelled, by the violence of the storm, to put back, and.
in attempting to weather the GarruchHead, the southernmost point
of the Isle of Bute, struck, and almost immediately went to pieces;
and on the following morning not a vestige of her was to be seen.
The crew with great difficulty got on shore ; but owing to the in-
elemency of the night two of the hands perished in the snow; the
rest arrived here this evening, totally destitute, they having saved
nothing but what was on their persons. Great fears are entertained
for the safety of the other vessels, as the Henry BM steam-packer,
on her way from Liverpool, while passing the ruck of Ailsa yes-
terday at noon, during the continuance of the gale, descried four
men descending the rock, showing signals of distress. They its
vain endeavoured to launch a ship's boat then upon the beach ;
they seemed unable to move it, in consequence of the heavy surge.
From the stoic of the weather, the-Henry Bell could render therm
no assistance. The owners of the Jane Haddow sai ed this alter.
noon a the Samson steam-boat, to ascertain the fate of those poor
sufferers, whoever they might he. The Jane Haddow had on
board a cargo valued at 80,0004
About two o'clock on Monday se'nnight, the Helena and Maria.
1150 tons, Bartholomew Karstens, master, from Amsterdam for
Rio Janeiro, was towed into Falmouth in a most distressing situa-
tion, by his Majesty's packet Plover, Lieut. Jennings. She left
Amsterdam on the 4th of January, with 350 passengers, men, wo-
men, and children, Oldeoburgers, Prussians, Am emigrating to Rio
Janeiro. Oe Saturday night and Sunday she encountered a tre-
mendous gale about 40 miles N.N.E. of the Lizard, the sea all the
time breaking furiously over her. The hatches were obliged to be
left open to save the passengers from suffocation. when there being
seven feet water in the hold, all their dry provision spoiled, and
every thing swept from the deck—the Captain, to ease the vessel,
deemed it prudent to cut away the mainmast and foretopmast. In
this dreadful situation she remained till Monday morning, when
nearing the Lizard lights, she made signals of distress, by firing
guns, &c. At 11 o'clock she was boarded by a fishing-boat, and by
her landed a man who was sent express overland to Falmouth for
a pilot, wbo reached her about 12 o'clock. Soon after the Plover
packet hove in sight, when Lieut. Jennings tendered his assistance
and towed her into Falmouth harbour at two o'clock on Monday
afternoon. The scene of misery exhibited in the streets of Fal-
mouth is truly distressing ; and the unfortunate passengers deprived
of all they possessed, are objects of the utmost conitniseration. A
meeting is to be called fur the relief of the unfortunate sufferers.—

Improvement by plantation is at once the easiest, the
cheapest, sad the least precarious mode of increasing
the immediate value, as well as the future income, of
estates, and it would be well for the lords of the soil to
remember the exhortation of the dying Scotch Laird to
his son—" Be aye sticking in a tire, Jock—it will be
growing whilst you are sleeping."
ALWAYS HAPPY. An Italian Bishop struggled
through great difficulties without repining, and met
with much opposition is discharge of his episcopal
functions, without betraying the least impatience. One
of his intimate friends, who highly admired those vir-
tues which he thought it impossible to imitate, one day
asked the Prelate If he could communicate the secret
of being always easy?—" Yes," replied the old man,
64 I can teach you my secret, and with great facility ;
it consists in nothing more than making a right use of
my eyes." His friend begged of him to explain him-
self.—" Most willingly, returned the &shop: "in
whatever state I am, I first of all look up to Heaven,
and remember that my principal business here is toget
there : I then look down upon the earth, and call to
mind how small a space I shall occupy in it when
I come to be interred ; I then look abroad into the
world, and observe what multitudes there are who are
in all respects more unhappy than myself. Thus I
learn where true happiness is placed, where all our
cares must end, and what little reason I have to repine
or to complain,
