it was only by great exertion that the life of the latter was
saved. The tug, which had only recently parted company,
was hailed. and the Greenock put back. She remained in
port until Friday morning, when she re-commenced the
voyage with a fresh captain.

DOCK COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held on
Thursday, Mr. Turner in the chair.—The surveyor was
allowed to run the Clarence basin dry on the evening of
the 7th of November, in order to complete the enlarge-
ment of the dock.—The resignation of James Jones,
quay foreman, No. 8, Albert warehouse, was accepied.—The
Harbour Masters Committee recommended that a stable be
built at the south side of the house occupied by the head
constable, for the use of his horse; the cost would be £45.
Tha recommendation was agreed to.—lt was recom-
mended that the west side of the Prince's Dock, so far as
necessary, should . be appropriated to foreign-screw
steamers, the by-laws as regarded fires and lights to be
extended to them as far as possible. After some discus-
sion and a division the recommendation of the committee
was confirmed.—lt was referred to the solicitor to con-
sider whether it is possible to limit the use of fires and
lights to steamers only.—A letter from Brown, Shipley,
and Co., calling attention to a memorial from several
American captains, asking permission to use fires and
lights up to nine instead of six o'clock in the evening, for
the convenience and comfort of the seamen, was referred
to the Harbour Masters Committee.—A letter from
Richardson, Brothers, and Co., asking permission for
their tender to use the landing-stage at certain periods
on the arrival of their large steamers, the City of Glas-
gow and the City of Manchester, was referred.—The other
business was unimportant.

WRECK OFF THE COAST OF BRAZIL.-By the arrival of
the brig Richard, Capt. White, which entered the Mersey
on Sunday evening, with a cargo of sugar and cotton
from Pernambuco, we are informed of the loss of a vessel
named the Enchantress, Capt. Buckland, from Yarmouth.
Capt. White thus reports the disaster :—" On Tuesday,
31st kugust, fell in with a small raft, and six men on it,
who proved to belong to the brig Enchantressof Yarmouth,
which was wrecked on the Roccas, on Friday, 6th August,
having sailed from Pernambuco on the 4th August. The
survivors report that she went to pieces three minutes
after she struck ; that Captain Buckland, William Car
(mate), Evan Davies (second mate), Richard Steward
(seaman), and Berara de Bar (a boy), were drowned ; that
James Wagstaff, John Murray, Alexander Adams,- John
Palmer, William Paul, and Antonio John, had been on
the Island 23 days, living on birds' eggs, and without a

a very exhausted state, and covered with bruises,
and were brought to Liverpool." They are all well,
with the exception of James Wagstaff, a rmtive of Green-
wich, who is suffering from dysentery. He has been re-
moved to the Northern Hospital. He states that the
captain, first and second mates, and two of the crew were
drowned. Captain 'White also reports that on the 6th
instant the Richard fell in with and boarded the schooner
Martha. Cantain Buckley. of Brixham. from Labrador.
