LOSS OF THE AMERICAN SCHOONER
PATRIOT.
PATRIOT.

The schooner Patriot, capt. Bunker, sailed frem
New York on the 18th Septe mber, having been
chartered by Samuel L. Darrell Esq. for voyage
to this island with cargo OF corn, corn meal and
slaves. On the 28h in latitude about 81, she en-
lcountered dreadful gale from the Southwark the
sea running tremendously high, broke frequently
over the vessel and the gale continuing to increase,
the balance Inainsal under which she was lying
split and was in an instant blown from the bolt rope,
which obliged them to put her before the wind. AT
IA P. M. the wind moderated, and suddenly shifted
to the North West, blowing perfect hurricane in
attempting to hoist the b, it torn to shreds by
the violence of the storm.-The vessel thus expos
ed between the two conflicting elements Che wind
blowing from the North West, and tie running
from the southwark became unmanageable, and
was upset by heavy sea, before the could be
cut away, she lay on her beam ends nearly an hour,
when the main-mas fortunately gave way, and she
rghted, completely water logged. II was then dis
coved that Stephen Joy, one OF the seamen, was
missing from the wreck, and shortly after Francis
Cutler, another of the crew, was swept off by the
sea. In this dreadful situation they remained till
the Cd instant. exhausted by famine and fatigue,
pecting every wave would whelm them in its yawn-
ing abyss-the horrors of night were rendered more
awful by the roaring and flashing Of the waters,
which broke around them, and the day Offering a
spectacle at which the stoutest heart must shudder
numerous large sharks nstinctively drawn to the
vessel, and apparently embroidered by the distress OF
the unfortunate men, seemed impatient at the de-
lay which yet withheld from them their expected
prey. On the last mentioned day. the American
brig Spartan, captain Delano, which arrived here on
Friday, from Bath, was observed standing towards
the wreck such was the effect OF this sudden ap-
pearance Of unlocked for succour, ON minds SO lost
in despair, that it was long before they could feel
persuaded of its reality The Spartan having reach
ed the Patriot, capt Delano took the men on board
and subsequently bestowed on them all the atten-
ton they required and on being brought to this
port, the Consul of the United States also rendered
every kindness and assistance which the duties Of
his Office, the feelings Of humanity could dictate

oman IS BORN TO TROUBLE"
IS true go and search this wide, weary world DER,
In the hermts lone CELL mid the turbulent crowd,
All, all have their troubles the rich and the poor,
All, all have their troubles, the meek and the proud
The parson is troubled with drones in the church,
And the lawyer is troubled for lack of good fees
The poor troubled merchant when left in the lurch
BY his customers troubles his fat assgnees.
The sage legislator is troubled because
Some people find fault with each move that he makes,
And the squire for lack of head full of laws,
Sits mum at the head ofthe jury and quakes.
In oice-your troubled for fear you'll be out
Out of oflce-the trouble is how to get in
you've nothing to do you'll be plagued with the govt
If you've too much to do you full of the spleen.
The rhymer is plagued for word that will rhyme,
The scholar with lessons-the master with ounces
Theresa plague for each station apague for each Cline
But the worst and most hopeless of troubles at is
The trouble the printer has day after day,
AS his customers leave him, and creditors dun,
And one and another refuses to pay
The bills that for many long seasons have run.

Geuga is not man alter the heart OF these who
sigh for the revival of the rigorous administration
of the DAYS of Plus the sixth. The name of Leo,
which he has assumed, is at once an index to his
tastes and guarantee of his future conduct. 1t is
his boast, that upon all subjects. he feels precisely
as Leo did, and that he will reign by the Arts, and
for Italy, ii possible. We all remember the i'm
portapt mission upon which he was sent TO Paris in
lisa which was 10 explain some parts Of the ex
traordinary Concordat OF 1901, and the reason for
which he was chosen for such mission, was that
no other man was equally capable with him OF dis
charging the important duties OF it. He remained
in Paris during The hundred days. Upon another
occasion he was sent to the Rhine with view of
conciating the interests of the Catholic and Pro-
eslants In one word, of all the sacred College he
is the most modeIn man, and best acquainted with
the causes which led TO the present state of things
in Europe. His library is said to be the finest at
Rome.
