SPNGULAR CoINCIDLPICE. —Monday, the anniversary
of the Restoration of Citauss 11. as the workmen were tales
down an old building at Alllngton' near Grantham, belonging to
Mr. Heassau, a linen bag was discovered armee the rubbish,
which, on examination, was found to contain a tart, quantity of
ancient silver coins, chiefly crowns and half-crowns of the above
Monarch, of eariousdates, from 116 i to 1671, in high owd beau-
tiful preservation; with a great many others of the reign of
Cna RIM 1. partly coined at Oxford in the time of the rebellion,
also in excellent preservation.
The dispute still condones between the great mem.

treaty describes the right of free transit Its the ton (jusoq. I la mu),
but they contend that the phrase just. si fat near seam the ports of
Holland ; and German vessels must stop in Dutch ports without
having the power of entering &Me the see. Almeria has declared
for an entire freedom of naviptlin on tie rivers that pus through'
Germany and Holland. Prussia, and most of the other German
States, concur In the 'maintenance of the same principle.

LOSS OF THE SHIPLEY TRANSPORT.

lIIIRTHER PARTICULA ns.

Wedssesday morning, the 19th of April, about half
past four o'clock, A.M. was wrecked near Kitt idge-head,
east end of Barbadoes, on the rocks, about n quartet of
a mile off, the transport, No. 16, Shipley, 330 tons, 83
men and boys, James Abbot, master, having on board
' eight officers, ninety men, seven women, and eight chil.
dren, sixty of them Royal Sappers and Miners, and the
test detachments of the 35th, 60th, and 92d Regiments;
lives saved, but nearly the whole of their baggage lost,
as the vessel broke completely up in the course of an
hour after. and drifted p'ecemeal in every direction.—
About ISO tons of Government stores were also lost.
This ship made the land at l 0 the evening preceding
the unfortunate catastrophe, and hauled up to S.S.E.
but the master ordeted the vessel to be stood for the
land soon after 12, A. 1. and went to bed, without ac-
quainting the Lieutenant Anent on hoard, and the man
he left in trust went to sleep, so that the first notice to
all hands was a heavy shock upon a rock, the immediate
loss of the rudder and piece or the ke 1. At this time
it was very dark, the rudder hating caused the vesel
to wear round, the he ivy thumps threw the people down
on the deck, breaking the ship in every direction. Then
the cook:souse caught fire, while the clew were getting
tackles ready to hoist the Imig-boat put, which wag ex-
tinguished by wet blankets, coats, and sails. As it blew
fresh at this pl..ce, no boat could possibly land, from
the nature of the coast, and Vie set breaking thirty or
forty feet up the steep precipices; but, by the activity
of the boatswain, who swung front the bowsprit end,
upon a craggy pi:lit:tele in the cavity of the rocks, with
a deep sea line, which be threw up to an old fisherman
on the top, ropes were passed to and fro, and the w into
and troops thereby wet keJ themselves on the precipice,
which was higher than the ship's royal mast head, and
in about ten minutes after she became a total wreck.—
The inhabitants were extremely kind in supplying the
people with unbounded hospitality, and on the following
morning the whole company were conveyed in waggons
to Bridge Town, distant about 18 miles. It is painful to
learn that the person who had charge of the watch on
deck was also reported to be intoxicated, and with dif-
ficulty tacked the ship at three o'clock, without orders
sn to do. The master went to his bed after giving di-
rections immediately contrary to his arrangements with
the naval officer, whose counsel was, to stand off till
three, and who pointed out the set of the current at the
proper time, and did not wish the ship to run until day-
light, and went to his bed in confidence of his sugges-
tions being followed. What, then, must have been his
feelings on being awoke with the shock of the ship
wiling on the rocks, and perceiving the great eanger
to which all were exposed!
