NAtiAL INTELLIGENCE.

Fessaimeace, OCTOBER 2.5.—A shocking spectacle presented
itself this morning on the side of Kinnaird's Head Light House,
where, during the night, the brig Adonis, of Liverpool, hadbeen
driven on the rocks, and dashed to pieces, and al on board
perished ; the wreck of both vessel and cargo strewed along the
shore, exhibiting an awful catastrophe; the cargo consisted of
hemp and tallow. Several dead bodies were repeatedly seen
this forenoon, dashing against the fact of the rocks by the vio-
lence of the waves.
On Sunday, a small sloop belonging to W. Smart, of Stone-
haven, broke from her moorings, and was literally dashed to
pieces. She had on board 160 barrels of herrings, all of which,
except three casks, were totally last.

ST. HELENA.

" Our Readers will learn with surprise, and no
doubt with indignation, the disingenuous manner
in which Mr. STOKOE, Naval Surgeon on board the
Admiral's flag-ship, at St. Helena, has been treated.
They will recollect that, on the return of Mr. O'MEARA
to England, this most respectable Naval Surgeon was
directed to go to Longwood, to attend on BONA..
PARTE, who was much indisposed. He did so ; but
he, like his predecessor, incurred the displeasure of
Sir HUDSON LOWE—and he had his option of retiring
on half-pay, or of taking his trial, by Court Martial,
in St. Helena, on charges of having exceeded his
commission, by writing bulletins of the Ex-Empe-
ror's state of health. He preferred the former, and
returned to England—where, on his arrival, he was
received in the most gracious manner at the Ad-
miralty, and, in a few days, received an order to re-
turn to his station on board the flag-ship, with which
he forthwith complied, in the full persuasion that it .
was a mark of the satisfaction of the Lords of the Ad-
miralty with his conduct, and a reproof to Sir HUD-
SON Lowe for the treatment he had shewn him. No
sooner, however, had he arrived at St. Helena, than
he was told that a Court Martial was to be assem-
' bled to try him on several charges, preferred against
him by the Lords Commissioners of the Admaralty,
relative to his conduct, during his attendance on Ge-
neral Bo NAPARTE ! They are such asavould, in any
other case and situation, be considered frivolous and.
vexatious—but corning from so high an'.authorityi
and supported by the local in9uence of his enemy, he •
can have very little hope of relief. He requested,
among others, that Counts BERTRAND
. and MoNa•uo-
LoN might be summoned to attend, as witnesses cn
his behalf, the only persons by whom he could re-
fute the principal charges against him, but he wils•
told that there were !eget objections to their ap-
pearance. The secrecy also, which their-Lordships
thought proper to observe, with respect to their de--
sign, in sending him back to St. Helena to rejoin his
ship, deprives him of the benefit of all the original.
documents of official correspondence. he having left
them in England, as well as testimonials of charaater,.
which, after twenty years of approved service, be had
received from every Commander under whom he had .
sailed. The system of terror so powerfully operates
in St. Helena, that a Military Of declined giving
Surgeon STOKOE his countenance and . assistance,
during the trial, on the plea of ill-health ; and a
writer in the Admirals Office begged he would ex-:
one him from attending to take notes, for fear of in-
curring displeasure ! fhe trial was to come on the
day after our dispatch was dated, which was the 99:13
,of August last. We are sure that the above narra-
tive requires no comment."—Merning Chronicle.
