SHIP-WRECK.
The lamentable wreck of the American ship M.
lie* has, probably, arisen fres the pritediaess of the
shipowners. There is a fine of packets, as it is
called, that sail bootees New York and Liverpool.
belonging to a parcel of Quakers, of whom lies'
Wright and Sons are the bead. at New York, Cropper
and Co. being their greats at Liverpool. Thou dips
go regularly, and are fitted up for passengers, who
pay an stannous price for their passage. Of late a
rival line has been set up. So that here is a sett of
" raring," as we call it in the case of the stage
coaches ! The reputation of making short peavirger is
the great thing ! So that the ssual precautions 34
to making /end are not taken. They pest on Ile
night, when, according to common rule, they wigit
sot. If this ship had not been " roving," she wee.,..
in all human probability, !rave beeeeet at sea, ierr.4
of being upon the Irish rocks. When the Capta.:

tions how be goes towards that laud by sight. Bat
this " teeing:" this greedine►s of custom, abates the
caution, and the ship goes ea by night as well as by
day. In this case, we are told, that the night was
tempestuous ; and that " the ship lost her masts &bust
" ten o'clock, carrying sprat, V mil. off Me laid.'•
This was jest the way to get wrecked. la a "
pestuons night" the ship ought to have carried ao
sliil, or to have atom: eff. Bet, this might have wade
her late, io port by a day or two. This terrible is.
jury to so many iadividaals has, however, been made
she ground fora Quaker Puff. "This is tbefirst seci•
" dent that has happened to this fine of pocket:: and
" Captain WILLIAMS was an creelleniaameen aid wait
skifful navigator'" The Doctor is always a " en.
derfully skilful man" when the patient dies. We
world, however, advise those who wish to cross the
Atlantic, and not to be left on some reek, to go is
any ships bat this " as it is called. It is better
to be a day or two longer on t►e voyage than to pat
_yourself into a racing ship, and thereby nu sock
risks fur no earthly purpose bat that of admisisteriag
to the avarice of the greedy owaers.—There were, it
seems, several barrels of specie on board ; and, as
donbt, the natives will get these up. " It is an ill
" wind that blows nobody good."
