and in the afternoon continued south !

the Nmckerel on deck, and cut away
the anchors, bat Notwithstanding ali
their excrtions they found at : o'cl"ck
that she was sinking. They brought
their small boat along side, and before
they could get drink of water, she
was going down head forcmost.--Clf-
ford and Mr.. Pyam Prince, the mute,
were the last who jumped from the
sinking vessel. The former reached
the boat, but the latter was heard to
cry out, but il was so dark that he could
not be seen, and the sea hove the boat
off so that he did not reach it, aud hc
was undoubtedly drowned.
The boat was very small, and the
prospect Of preserving their lives by it
seemed almost hopeless. The night
continued dark and stormy and the sea
high. They took nothing into the boat
except two oars, Il bucket, tin pan, and
sea line, and one of the men threw in
his clothes and few biscuits in small
trunk. They fastened the line TO one
out about 30 fathoms, and plying the
other oar at the stern of the boat, kept
her head to the sea. On Saturday the

day, with n great swell from the y. T..
They employed themselves in rowing
to the westward, and at night they ate
n quarter of n biscuit each. Al q o.
clock it became so fog9v and dark that
they did not know which way to row,
and il soon began to rain again. At
II o'clock the fog cleared ,o(' little,
and to their great ov schooner APP
pcared near by, which soon took them
on board. She proved to he the Cres-

CELEBR \rIoN IN New YonK.-The
Commercial Advertiser of Saturday
has long account of the procession,
&c. in honor Oft the French Revelation
which took place, in that city, on Fri
day. alt was says the Com Adv.
san imposing spectacle notw,hstand-
ing some untoward circunstances--,hc
delay, disagrccablc weather, &c.
Every effort had,wc believe, been made
to remove the mud from the streets. as
far as it was practicable but they were
uncomfortable enough for those who
marched on foot; & we apprehend that
the doctors will have business enough
after the celebration, as they had after
the transaction in honor of which it
was got up"
The procession was two hours oul n
