EXTRAORDINARY SH1pwREcK ON THE
Sicily IsLANDs.-On Wednesday after.
noon last, vessel bottom upwards, was
seen about two miles off St. Agnes, when
some of our pilot-boats put off to her, the
sea being very rough. After great
difficulty they succeeded in attaching a
hawser to the wreck, which shortly broke,
and, night coming on, they were obliged
to leave her. On Thursday morning, at
daylight, she was discovered by young
man to have drifted in the same position,
on to reef of rocks at the entrance of the
bay, where the famous Sir Cloudesey
Shovel, was washed ashore. He got into
the water, and in attempting to pull sail
on shore, which was hanging to the wreck
he discovered the body of one ofthe crew,
entangled therein, and, to his utter aston
ishment, heard voices within the wreck.
He Immediately called two or three men
TO his assistance, and on their pulling a.
way piece of plank, sufficiently for one
Of them to pass his arm into the vessel,
| his hand was eagerly siezed by person
within; they then went to work, and, after
some little time, managed to make a hole
sufficiently large to drag person down
through the deck, (,he parties being then
up to their middles in the sea, and, in
this manner, to their establishment,
brought on shore, three men and boy,
alive and well. Two of them, proved to
be the master and mate, from whose ac-
count, it appears, she was French yes
sci. from Dunkirk, bound for Marseilles
with cargo of oil; that, on Monday eve
ming previous, about eight O'Clock, two
men were on deck, and the parties saved,
with the one found alongside, were in
the cabin, when, in heavy squall, the
vessel, in moment, turned completely
over, not allowing time for the water to
run into her, by which means the inter-
nal air kept the water out; the two men
on deck were, of course, washed away,
but those in the cabin, had existed there
without food, from the Monday evening,
until the Thursday morning, and the
poor fellow, whose corpse was found
alongside, had been killed that morning,
by some of the cargo getting loose on
her striking the rocks, and drfted him
out through part of the deck which was
broken away in deep water. The men
saved ate hearty breakfast Oh landing,
and, in the afternoon looked as we'll as if
thew had not been under water at all.

The Murderer Of Ellen JesveH.-Rob-
inson, the murderer of Ellen Jewett
whose trial and acquittal left an indelible
stain upon the Tribunal before which he
was arraigned, went to Texas, where he
has since lost his right arm--that arm
with which he planted a Ratchet into the
forehead of frail, but to him an unof1en-
ding girl,an with which he then applied
an incendiary torch to the bed where she
lay weltering in blood. thus attempting to
conceal the murder by committing arson
that right arm, we say, has been cleft
from his shoulder, in fight with the
MeXicans!
Nor is this the only retribution that has
visited the guilty. 1t will be recollected
that Furlong, the infatuated grocer, who
went into court and committed voluntary
perjury by swearing that Robinson was
in his store on the evening Of the murder,
became mainac and drowned himself
