LOSS OF THE CUPID.

(From the Enex Standard.)
We last week noticed the Lou of this tine vessel, the property
of Win. Hawkins, Esq., of Colchester. The following is a
letter from the captain, giving the details of the event :
" Mr. Hawkins, - _ _

"Sir,—lt is with heartfelt sorrow I have to inform you of
the unfortunate circumstance of the loss of the Cupid. After
a fine and pleasant passage of twenty-four days we arrived on
the bank of Newfoundland, where we met with a heavy gale of
v, led, and the ship began to get leaky, so much so that we were
obliged to keep one pump constantly going; and on the 30th of
August we met with another gale, which made her so leaky, we
were obliged to keep both pumps going, night and day, but with
all our e.tertions, I am sorry to say, she gained so fast upon U 3,
that after- two days and nights constantly pumping, the water
had got over the top of the ballast, which wade the ship to la-
bour so heavily as to become unmanageable. We still conti-
nued at the pumps, hoping the gale might abate, but found all
to no purpose. As we found she was fast sinking, we were
obliged to take to the long boat, and with great difficulty gut
clear of the ship, which was on the 2d of September, about nine
o'clock in the morning, though scarcely with any hopes of
saving our lives, as we expected every sea that came must sink
the boat, but, thank God, she lived till next day, when for-
tunately we were picked up by Captain Chicken of the brig
Elvira, of Newcastle, bound to Quebec, who received us with
the greatest kindness.
'• We saved nothing but the loag beat, which, if I can get a
hood price for I fate rrrt selling; irnot, to leave her in charge of
Mr. Pemberton till the barque comes out. I have written this
letter, and intend to send it by the first vessel I can get it on
hoard-

"I remain; dear sir, your humble servant,
"FREDERICK PRICE.
