THE GAEE---FURpiER PARTiCU'
LARS.

The reader will ind the outside page,
long account of the disastrous and appalling ell
fects of the late gale, by which 50 much property
and SO many valuable lives have been de stroyeu'
Since then I'VE have received but few additional
PARTICULARS of interest to our readers.
Great anxiety has been felt in this place, re-
Hpecting the vessels which sailed from this port
on Friday and Saturday. particularly the snip
United States, Swanton 1t appears from all
accounts that we have seen this ship has not been
heard from since l2 o'clock on Saturday night,
and she was then standing of, and from the range
of the wind, as reported by Capt. Merryman, 1t
is Judged by our best seamen, that she kept OIL
beyond the reach ofdanger. This opinion strikes
us as being correct, and we apprehend no teais
need be entertained for her safety. The same
remarks will apply. to the Ceryantes, the Report
er and the Edward Kent. neither of which have
yet been heard from, but probably safe, as
they sailed On Friday, and undoubtedly were in
position to avail themselves of the same advan-
tage.
The following, we copy from the Boston Palla-
dun.
By the sch Sultan, from Wellfleet, we
learn lha, the vessel disma,led and at an

small leak, and up to Thursday remained
in the same situation; no person had land
ed from her. eLJsfhis is the vessel which
has given rise to So many reports relative
to the ship United States, from Bath, being
in Barnstable BY. The crew of the Sui
tana assure us that the Martha Washing

part of Cape God!
The sad tdngs from the 'Ridcout' brings af-
fiction upon several families. The crew We're
all lost. Capt. J. H. burlington has left wifi
nnd two children. The other six were the mate,
Warren Storer, and Messrs. Alonzo Bartlett,
Joseph Work Winner Haynes Geo And .rson
and Albion K. p. Purrington
This has indeed been terrible calamity-and
we know not that we have yet the whole of the
fearful story. Such vistations well calcula-
ted to remind man, how utterly vain all his cal
cuiations may prove. We have room only for
The following additional items.
The barque Lloyd. (of Portland)
Moun,iord, from Havana for Boston, went
ashore this Monday noon, on Nantaskei
beach, The weather very thick, and a heavy
sea running-her fore and maiu masts were
gone, and only part OF her mlzzrn mast
standing. Six OF the crew got out The
long boat, and were about attempting to
land, but the boat filled and they all per-
ished! One of the crew got into the small
boat, succeeded in reaching the shore. and
was dragged out Of the surf by several OF
the inhabitants, " ho were assembled on the
beach. Capt Mountord and two others
lashed themselves in the mlzzen rigging
but the latter were soon washed of by the
sea, which made a fnir breach over her;
and when Mr. Tower left, Capt M. was still
lashed in the rigging, the only survivor on
board, but it was thought he could not re-
main so much longer
The brig Pocahontas, Cook, of and for
Newburyport from Cadiz, went ashore on
Plum Island last Sunday night, in gale
ofwind and thick snow storm, and all hands
persisted.
The Stalira, Carter, is reported ashore
at Eastman, crew saved.
