St. Johns, October 8.
The weather has been so wet and unfa-
vorable, during the last fortnight or three
weeks, that in some instances, we are told,
it has been found necessary to remove the
hall cured fish from the fakes, back again
to the stages to be re-salted, as the only
means of preserving il from being wholly
spoiled; and should the weather continue
as at present, this plan must be generally
adopted. The catch of fish this season, on
almost every part Of the coast, has been
considerably short Of the usual quantity {;
and we hardly know OF an instance in which
those engaged in the fishery have not been
great losers.
The vessel mentioned as having been
struck by lightning on her passage rom
hence TO Norfolk, proves to have been the
Matilda, which has since arrived here
Some injury was done to her masts, and Sc
veral of the hands severely hurt, but we
are happy TO learn none OF the seamen were
killed.

The following circumstantial and melan.
choly account of the loss of the brig Sine,

~ Of Sept. H..
This week we have the sad task to de-
tail the particulars of two most melancholy
catastrophes which have occurred of the
neighhoring coast The brig Sine, capt.
Doak, Sailed from this port on Monday
week, for Boston thirty.two passengers
were embarked on board Of her. About 10
o'clock Oh Wednesday night, whilst the two
vessels were standing on opposite tacks,
she unfortunately ran down the brig Dash.
bound from yarmouth 10 London. The
Dash sunk almost inslantaneously. Her
crew cons sted Of five persons, two OF whom
were saved by the exertions OF capt. Doak
and his crew, and the remainder were I'M
happily drowned. The Sine's bowsprit
was carried away by this lamentable acci-
dent, and the vesse! seriously damaged by
the violence of the shock. Capt. Doak,
being incapable OF prosecuting the voyage
with his vessel in this shattered condition,
determined to return to Liverpool TO repair.
But new misfor,unes awaited the Inflated
vessel. Between four and FIVE o'clock, the
captain, worn out by his previous exeriion,
and anxiety for the fatal accident which
had occurred, retired to his cabin, after ha-
wing left the brig in charge Of the mate, and
given him strict iniunctions 10 keep sharp
look out, and to call him before she got up
with the Skerries. The vesse! continued on
her course ill about halfpast seven o'clock,
when she struck on the Platters, of the
Welsh coast, near the Skerries light house.
The water rushed in with great rapidity,
and the vessel was sinking fast At this
dreadful conjuncture, capt. Doak, who had
hurried on deck as soon as she struck, or
dered the ships boats to be instantly clear
ed away. She had only two, the one a long
