Considerable excitement was eaused at Lleyd's thii trimming
at the receipt of iniolligenCe of the loss of the Wallace, Capt;
Robertson, troth Leith to Hobart Town, near the latter place,
previous to the 10;11 of September. The frequent losses of
vessels in that quarter of the globe, and the serious. sacri-
fice of property theteby have naturally led the underwrit-
ers and merchants to regret much that the government has not
directed a Correct stiivey to be made of those streams in which
so many gallant vessels have been. wrecked, and so fearful
waste ofltutnan has occurred. The Wallace was a very
beautiful vessel, and it was her first voyage; the captain was an
able and experienced navigator, and the cargo of great value.
It appears that nOtWitliStailding every effort by the numerous
boats and vessels that surrounded her at the tune of the catas-
trophe only a portion of the passengers luggage had been saved,
with some spars, sail, and cabin furniture, and in consequence
of a gale a day or two afterwards the whole wreck had disap,
peaked. When the large quantity of salt Which formed part of
her camo had dissolved, the rum and other more valuable part
had fallen in, and wa•hed and dashed to pieces. The few arti-
cles saved, together with the chance of having what could be
picked up from the wreck, the anchors and chains being on the,
deck, hod likely to be found in calm weather; as they could
only sink to the reef, had been sold for £3C3. The Captain
(Robertson) had not the sMallest conception he was running
into danger, being unfortunately guided by the usually very ac-
curate sailing directions in Horsburgh's standard Work, which,
in speaking of D'Entreeasteames Channel, distinctly states
;n the last edition of 1820, that there is no hidden danger, and
the sea being smooth and unruffled at the time,,betrayed no in-
duction whatever of the reef. There were twenty passengers oil
board the Wallace, all of whom, with the crew, were saved.
