DISASTERS AT SEA, IN 1838.—The subjoined we find in
the Sailor's Magazine, and it gives a record which has been
carefully kept, during the year 1838, of marine disasters,
which have been published in various newspapers in the
country, of which publication has been made in the Sailor's
Magazine, from month to month. Those only have been
selected which resulted in a total loss of the vessel. The
greater part of the vessels were American, and a large pro-
tion of the disasters took place near the American coast.
The total number of vessels wrecked in the year-427. _ _

Precise time unknown

In addition to these known losses, there have been reported
27 vessels missing, concerning which there is very little doubt
but they are lost with all on board. In the above-named
vessels there were reported the loss of 753 lives. This does
not, probably, include all the lives lost by these disasters,
but only those mentioned with certainty. Many of the
wrecks were fallen in with at sea, and the fate of the crews
was wholly unknown. Undoubtedly the loss of life has
been great, and many a crew has been wholly swallowed up,
and no one spared to tell the melancholy tale. Surely "there
is sorrow on the sea," sorrow that never will be fully dis-
closed, until the sea shall give up its dead and the myriads
who repose in the caverns of the great deep shall rise to judg-
ment.—New York Express,
