reefed proved abortive. With the fore-topsail shaking,
she was held as close to it as she could go, but making
great lee way, she touched the shore about ten o'clock on
Saturday night. As the tide rose, she again floated, but
only to drive further up, as she was now perfectly un-
manageable—the sea making a clear breach over her—
until daylight the crew suffered greatly. The agent at
Lloyd's, Messrs. Tyrer and Eccles, who with a person of
the name of Meadows were on the alert at daylight, suc-
ceeded by the assistance of a pony in conveying the crew
on shore. One, however, was missing, and on the agents
returning, be was found lying dead on the deck. His face
was dreadfully mangled, and from all appearance he had
been washed by a heavy sea beneath some loose spars on
deck, which on the water leaving them had crushed him
to death. An inquest will be held on the body this day.
The unfortunate individual was cook and steward, and we
learn belonged to •Sheffield. The crew, inclusive of the
captain, consisted of twelve persons, all of whom are con-
siderably injured, and have lost all their clothes. After
the crew were got on shore, the principal portion of them
were taken to the receiving house, where they were most
kindly treated.

A number of sails and other articles have been got on
shore, as also have a quantity of the cocoa nuts. The
vessel herself has every appearance of becoming a total
wreck, her hull having parted near the bends. She is the
property, we believe, of Mr. Morrison of this town.

TOTAL LOSS OF THE LADY BENTJNCK AND ALL HANDS.
Early on Sunday morning a large portion of grain and
other cargo were washed on shore between Southport and
Formby, but principally near the latter place. From the
marks it bears it is evident that it is part of the cargo of
the Lady Bentinck, which sailed on Thursday last from

Waterford for Liverpool. The crew must all have
perished, but none of the bodies have yet been recovered,
nor has a vestige of the wreck been seen. The cargo was
insured, but we could not learn whether the vessel was or
not.

SUPPOSED LOSS OF ANOTHER VESSEL

We learned that a large quantity of butter had been
washed on shore near Southport, and as the Lady Ben-
tinck had little or no butter on board, it is to be feared
that some other vessel has shared the same unfortunate
fate.

LOSS OF THE VERNON OF CASTLE-TOWN, ISLE OF

The sloop Vernon, with a cargo of potatoes, the pro-
perty of Mr. Cain of this town, was driven on shore about
two miles to the northward of Formby Point. She was
much damaged, and will no doubt go to pieces. She was
from the Isle of Man. Such was the force of the gale
that she was driven up on the beach into three feet of
water, so that the crew waded on shore.
The Forrnby life boat was out during the gale, but was
unable to render any great assistance to the distressed

vessels that were seen, Owing to the frightful state of th

CORONER'S INQUEST-MYSTERIOUS CASE

On Friday last, and, by adjournment, on Saturday, an
inquisition,was held before Mr, Statham, deputy coroner,
on view of the body of Ellen Wareing, a respectable young
woman, who was found early on the morning of Friday
week in a stone-quarry in Tosteth-park, apparently a good
deal injured, and after a lapse of some hours conveyed to
the Southern Hospital, where, it since appears, she died
ott the following Monday.
