Distressing Ship1rreck.-The brig Edwlnat
captain Sturges, a regular packet, sailed from
Charleston on Saturday, the ID inst having
on board a cargo Of cotton, and rice, and a
deck load Of moss, and thirty four persons
including passengers, officers and crew. The
next Sunday afternoon, being IN lat. 81,

struck by a very violent squall, accompanied
with rain and hail aud thunder and lightning
which drew the Edwina on her beam ends
and fllcd-the captain ordered the rigging,
&c. TO be cut, which being done, the mass
gave way, and the vessel partly righted 1.-The
deck load was lost, and the round house ear
rcd away.
About an hour thereafter, being sun down,
The wreck was discovered by the packet ship
Amelia, capt. Berry, bound to this port, who
sailed in company with the Edwina. Capt

persons. We regret TO state that five lives

II was a most providentiaI circumstance
that the Edwina was so very soon discovered
by the Amelia, for when she came up, those
persons who eiung to The wreck were in a
most p%efilous situation, many of them being
at every swell OF the sea, covered with water

on board the Amelia, were as wet as wafer,
and bad only their sea dresses on. Captain
Berry, and his passengers, took every pains
and care to administer TO the wants anu com

and necessary food and drink.
The bodies OF those tsing in the cabin,
were not recovered, and it Is the opinion
both Of captains Berry aud Sturges, that the
kdwina would soon sink, at least as soon as
the rice swelled, by The action OF The water.

to remain As Volunteers. These adventures
are harassing TO the people, and most ex-
pensive 20 the government, whilst they are
wholly Ineffective to cure the evil, by tran
q~ullizing the frontier. We begin 10 think
that there ought to be some frontier force Of
a more efficient character than Militia or

fitted to command, and privates taught to o.
hey, organized so as to move with prompt
tude. and armed aud trained TO the particu-

Such a measure, the reader may recollect,
has been under consideration in Congress-

THE MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, Feb. Our Corn Market on
Tuesday last was Hat at general decline in price,
yesterday again a very limited demand was ex.
perienced at still lower rates. Within the past
few weeks the immense import from ireland and
elsewhere, received here and in London, begins
to shake the confidence of spectators; the de-
mand with this object has subsidized for the pre-

been, for the season advances fast, and the aver
ages continue very low; SO that there is not any
early prospect Of the large stock of foreign on
hand being liberated at low duties. A moderate
demand is experienced for fresh Irish wheats, but
oats are very dull sale. OF free American -four
