Loss of a Steam Packet and many
Lives. a~

The London and Dublin company's
steamer Thames, on her voyage from
Dublin to London, was wrecked on
Southwest rocks ofthe Scilly Islands;
and all on board, consisting of from
sixty to seventy persons, drowned,
with the exception of lady passen-
ger, two stewardesseS, and one man.
When the vessel was discovered In
her perilous situation by the islanders,
their boats were aground; but with
great efforts they succeeded in launch
ing whale-boat through tile break
erS, and getting her under the stern
of the Thames. The commander,
Captain Gray, insisted on the females
being first hoisted therein, and, unfor-
tunately, as soon as lady and two
stewardesses had been placed there,
the boat broke adrift, and drove to the
land This was perceived by aasail-
ing-boat, which took her in TOW and
succeeded, with, great risk, in lowing
her to the shore in safety. By this
time the wind increased almost to a
hurricane, which rendered it impossi-
bic for any other boat to approach
the vessel Captain Gray then form
ed raft, on which a great many of
the crew got; but it was almost i'm
mediately dashed against the rocks,
and all the poor fellows on it were
lost, with the exception of one man,
who was thrown on perpendicular
rock, and remained there till the fol-
lowing day, when he was rescued.
The vessel became complete wreck;
and the remainder of the crew per-
ished

Caught in his o,on Trap.-Thc PeF;land Ad-
vertiser relates an amusing case, in which a
beggar in that city received what he asked for,
but not what he wished for:
"a few days ago, a full grown able bodied
man, presented h:mselfai the door Of one of our
citizens, and solicited the lady of the house TO
give him two cents. She remarked that she
had none, and inquired what ne wanted Of them.
"To buy dose Of castor oil marin, twas the
reply) for am dreadful sick"
The lady had no cents but she had plenty of
oil; and she prepared him stiff dose. He
tried hard 10 get excused from taking it; but she
was firm, he was sick man. and it must go
down He was caught in his own trap; and
where he meant 10 have glass OF liquor, he
got dose Of physic; but, making virtue of ne
cessity, and with snndry wry faces, he guphed
it down and cleared He'll not call at that
house again, we dare say"

Yet you must keep a strict guard upon YOUR

which we have been compelled by the naughty

departed from justice, euded and subvered the
wise laws which formerly governed it. and suf-
fered the worst of crimes TO 90 unpunished, has
lost its yalor, wisdom and humanity, and from

into dersion and inlamy.

EIarrisoss's Specific Ointment.

The great celebrity of this unrivalled Compost
tion-especially in the Northern States--leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in
its favor for it has been generally conceded to it,
that it is beyond all comparison the best remedy
for eTteInal complaints that has ever been dscov-
ered Indeed the speed and certainty OF its oper-
atons have the appearance of miracles as ulcers,
wounds corns, fever sores, chilbainS, white swell
lings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites Sc
Immediately yield to its apparently super human
influence. Thus if properly applied it will remove
an inyeterate, break and heal bile in five
days, will allay and perfectly cure ulcer in two
weeks; and the most desperate cases of white
swelling that can be imagined, have been DESTROYED
by it in less than two months. In the bites of
poisonous reptiles its efficacy is Truly surprising
and even in the bite Of a rabid dog, for if applied
in time, its powers of attraction are so wonderful
that they will at once arrest the poison and thus
prevent it from peryading the system. 1t is like
wise greatly superior to any medicine heretofore
discovered for the chafed backs and limbs of horses
for letters, ring worms, chapped hps,-and in
short for every external bodily evil that may fall
to the lot of man or beast.
The proprietor has received at least thousand
certificates and other documents, in favor of his
''Speclfc Ointment" upwards hundred of which
were written by respectable members of the Med
ica Faculty; and in selecting from this pile the
following san. ples he was governed more by their
brevity, than their contents, they all breath the
same spirit of eulogy and satisfaction.
