SHIPWRECKs IN
THE GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE.
LOSS OF lives

QUEBEC, May 27.-WTeck ofthe Chippe,oa.-
Capt. Miller, from the Clyde, with fall gene
raj cargo, went ashore between the LIST and ST.,
inst, near Cape Roster, the between decks sepa-
rated completely from the bottom and all hands
were lost but the captain ana a cabin boy. A
large number of the the bodies of the unfortu-
nate men hoate1 ashore, and 10 were buried in
one place
Wreck Of the .4rabiaa.-The barque Arabian,
Capt. Allan, also from Clyde, with general
cargo for Montreal, is wrecked, but the partieu-
lars not so melancholy as those of the loss of
the Chippewa. The schooner Industry arrived
on Monday evening, reports that about half of
the cargo ofthe Arabian is under water, that the
sound part of it will be brought up in schoonors
and the unsound part sold below. The passen-
gers and crew all well ind will come up
with the captain. 1t is very uncertain whether
the Arabian can be got off
Wreck Of The Hero.-In Gus last we mentioned
that the master and crew of the ship Hero,
wrecked on Anticosti, had arrived in the schoon-
er st. Peter. Capt. Withyconbe has given the
following particulars of the wreck OF his YES
sci -
The Hero first entered the Gulf ON the 26th
April, but from the state Of the wcather-blow-
ing hard with snow-was dri ven out of it again.
The night OF the SOL, the vessel again entered
the Gulf with thick drift of snow and sleet !;
the wind blowing complete hurricane. On the
I'd May, at noon, in wearing round (under close
rcefed topsails,) the ship struck ON the south
end OF Anticosti. The first thing they saw, and
which they took for land, was the wreck of the
brig Mary Ann, which went ashore last year,
and they afterwards found that the wreck of the
Airlby Castle was about miles west, 50 that
the Hero came between these two wrecks. The
bottom of the Hero parted completely from her
and she is consequently total loss with the ex-
ception OF the materials, most of which will be
saved. The captain and crew remained on the
wreck for five days, employed in saving mate
rails, and did not leave until they had reason to
believe that the whole of the vessel would soon
disappear. The brig Water Lily passed them
and offered to take them off while TINS engaged,
but they were determined to save all they could,
and declined the offer they afterward went on
board the schooner st. Peter, in which they had
arrived here. The first land seen by the Hero
was Cape Chapeau Rouge, and the captain did
not get two good observations since Good Fri
day. The wreck of the Hero, when they left
it, was lying up against reef Of rocks, in such
position that person might put ladder over
the stern and walk ashore for about mile with
out having the water above his knees.
An American has been arrested in Texas, who
IL charged, in connection with man named
Bastrop, with being guilty Of all the horse steal
ing, that has been blamed upon the Cumanches
during the last two or three months. The schr.
Champion, from Velasco to New Orleans, was
lost near Galveston, on the 18th ult. Passen-
gers, baggage and cargo saved.
MIR. J. T. Eason, planter, was robbed on the
road near Mobile, of 1000 dollars In notes of the
