Machette, Msecit is3.—The following facts are a
proof that the Scottish people are not in every respect
inferior to the English :—A vessel hound to tirrenork
was in the late pile‘ blown among the Western Isles, and
was so long detained there as to he entirely run out of
provisions. In this dilenuns. it became neresfary fur
some of the crew to go ashore fur a supply, hut As there
were only English sailers on hoard, tone of them ivould
go from fear of being plundered, as they knew would
bare happened had they run ashore in distress in sums.
places un the coast of England and Wales. They there-
fore east lots among the whole of the people on board,
both passengers and sailors ; and one of the lots fell on
a man of fortune who had been in the West Indies; lie
accordingly, along with some others, took the boat, and
venturing to land-, proceeded to a small cottage, where
he found a pour woman, who, for want of chairs, was
sitting on the sib of a bed spinning at her wheel. lie
immediately informed her of the situation of the ship's
crew, when, instead of showing any reluctance, she with
the greitelit alacrity offered diem sow potatoes, and
what else was in the house for their relief. She had a
pot of potatoes boiling on the fire, which she put ',poll a
plate, and presented to the gentlemen, who partook of
them with the greatest relish. They observed aband-
mire of game on the island, and went immediately to the
nroprietor, rereiring permission to shoot fur the supply
of the crew. l'he gentleman in question received them
with the greatest kindness and hospitality, gave them
liberty to kill as much game as they chose, and sent an
invitation to all tke passengers to dine with him. They
received a very sumptuons entertainment, ani the gen-
tleman from the West Indies found, in the course of
conversation, that their landlord was proprietor or some
estates there with which. he was well aripainteti. This,
in place of the barbarity and plunder they had been
afraid of, they met with the most polite attention, and
left Jura with the liteliet impressions of gratitude, for
the generosity and kindness with which they bad been
treated. . . .

On Thursday morning last, two vessels, hearing. Ame-
rican colours, were observed nearly opposite the point
•at Arhigland. Misled, probably, by the lights of the
Isle of Men, one of these vessels had followed the other,
in the expectation that she was making for the Frith of
Clyde, best on observing that het lender had stuck fa•t
' on a sand bank, she put about, and bore away fur the
English side. Hot the crew of this ship being nna•'
quainted with the navigation of the Solway, had sailed.
I bat a short wa) before they also found themselves on s
sand hank, although they were so fortunate as to g-t
the vessel off with the next tide. We regret to add. •
that the crew of the first mentioned ship were less for-
tunate. The vessel was soon found to be complete:,
swamped: and, it is believed, that before this time AR
will have completely disappeared. The crew were kne-
ed at the Cane, and a small quantity of te.hicen, to-
;other with the ship's rigging, is the only article they
have saved of their trainable cargo. We have jest heard
that the name of the vessel which has been sated is the
Mary and Henry, from Charleston to Olasgow, and
which sailed on Friday night from Canetborn, having
on board a pilot. The ship that is lost is the Maria, from
Alexandria, with tobacco for Greenock,
