ing IN four tathoms water with her top |
mast out.
The wrecking vessels have suffered
much also. The schooner Pizaro Of Key
West is entirely lost, having been driven
ashore while in attendance on the brig
Sea- -DriN.
The brig Texas from New-York for
Apalachicola, weathere0 the guile in Bahia
Honda harbor, which she fortunately
reached.
Five hundred dollars damage at lenst,
has been sustained, it 10 said at lndia Key
by the destruction OF fruit trees, &c.
We do not believe that such II series Of
disasters have been recorded, as occur
ring on the Florida Coast in such a short
space Of time. Tho loss to commercial
men must be great, and the damage sus-
tained by the wreckers 10 much to be re-
GREETED, as it will lessen the facilities for
saving the cargoes Of the wrecked veses.
], is feared that there are many vessels Il
shore between Capes Florida and Caraav-
erel.
Since tho above was put in type, by
the arrival Of the schooner Pulaski, we
we learu OF another wreck--ihe Spanish
brig Gill Bias from Havana, bound to
SAINT Andero, with cargo of sugar, a
shore to the northward OF Cape Florida.
The Captain and part Of the ships COM
pany arrived in the Pulaski and the barge
which accompanied her. 1t il supposed
the brig and cargo will be totally lost.
The gale which commenced here from
the north, was felt at the Cape and in its
vicinity from the nortt,-east-the conse-
Quence was, that the wind acting against
the current Of the Gulf Stream, created n
tremendous sea, and banked up the water
to an astonishing height. Many of the
Islands were completely overflowed and
at Key Bscayne the water was four feet
deep aronnd tho light House premises,
carrying off the keepers stock Of poultry,
SC. and obliging him to seek shelter for
l,is family in tho Light House. The
Government boat attached to the station
was carried up upon the Island high und
dry. L
by an arrival from Charlo,tes Harbor
we learn tha. the gale WAS very severe a
long the western shore Of the PENN
sula. The sioop Mary Ann, Capt. Kim
enez, dragged her anchors, went ashore
and was entirely lost. No other dam
age has been sustained 10 that quater that
we have heard Of
Tho sloop boat Miam, which lo1 Cape
Florida the day before the gale, bound
northward, has been found snnk When
she left the Cape the family Of Mr. John
Lewis were on board, and il 10 presumed
they are lost.
II is said thas the mail schooner Luva
took on board the Captain and crew OF the
brig Blakeiy, with a portion Of her eargs
pnd proceeded on her voyage to Charles-
ton.
Yet .anoihst.-- The sloop Morning Star,
Capt Braman, from New London, arrived
just before putting our paper to press, and
brings intelligence Of still greater num-
ber Of wrecks.
The sloop Hero, from New York, for
Key West, with a valuable cargo, and
several Of our fellow Townsmen on board
went ashore in the gale near Cape Car
navcral. The vessel il 10 said, is tight,
and may be got off, She has lost her
mast, and two fishing smacks are render
ing her assistance. We are pleased to
hear that no lives have been lost.
Two fishing sloops bound hither from
New London, have also been lost, and a
mon from On board ono Of them, drowned.
The brig Noble from Laguna, bouRd
20 Now York, and brig Lafayette, Capt.
Smith, From robasco bound also to New
York, went ashore in the same vicinity
both loaded with logwood. The Captain
Of the Lafayette and both crews arrived
here in the Morning Star.
DisgracefiI.-Ws learn from the Bos-
ton papers that Mr.. Lot Wheelright, Jr.
of that city has been again guilty o! the
crime of beating his father. The parties
are merchants and ship owners doing
business together and possessed Of great
wealth.
The Commercial Gazette says 1.-THE
father was badly wounded in the head,
his son having s..acA him with the but,
Of his riding whip, while riding with,
tho old gentleman on The Mall Dam. -
This affair has very naturally produced
high degree Of excitement among our
merchants, who are determined TO Dis
proes the offender, by excluding him from
the insurance Offices, the News Room.
&c. An example certainly ought to be
made ofthe fellow. His money ought not
10 protect him. Old Mr.. Wheelrigh',
we are informed, after his son struck him
ON the head, blsd profusely and was final
yv obliged 10 return to his house IN Brigh-
