Filth this latter ship the Middleton was beset till the 29th of
Aught, and Captain Rem gives a terrible account of the state
t 4 the weather, and the losses which in consequence took place,
and which he partly witnessed. One ship in particular, the
FarlFakonberg, of Grimsby, was cut through by the ice, under
silicate meet soon dlsappeared ; and the Leviathan, of Hull,
was berally penetrated by the ice on each side, until it cut
through, and carried away the mainmast. The loss of the fine
tip Dexterity, of Leith, was attended with aggravating circum-
stances; for, having got twenty-two fish, a violent gale came on

The melancholy catastrophe noticed in the STAR
4. the 10th instant, respecting the loss of the Clovelly
wat, employed in the herring fishery, proves to be
of the most appalling description. It appears that
thele boats, about sixty in number, were compelled,
by the sudden springing up of the dreadful gale
alluded to, to relinquish their nets, in the hope
Of gaining the shore in safety ; but unfortunately
mote than forty were driven among the rocks. The
cues of the drowning, thirty-five in number, most of
"born have left large families, produced an effect too
heartrending to be adequately expressed. The dis-
tress occasioned to the families of the unhappy suf-
ferers, who looked forward to the fisher, for their
enure support, but who are now betels of the means
of subsistence, is most afflicting.
