TOTAL Loss OF THE PACKET SHIP AUBURN AND
HER CREw.-A letter from the wreck master at
Long Beach, was received yesterday, by the Sc
cretary of the board of underwriters Of which the
following is a copy: -
LONG BEACH, Sept. IS, ls47
The ship Orbit, Of New York Capt. white from New
Orleans came ashore on the Long Beach, Barnegat In
let SATURDAY night last She has gone to pieces
the captain FIRST mate and sixteen Others are lost
| EDWARD JENNINGS, Wreck master.
1t is here distinctly stated that it is the ship
Orbit but as there is not ship belonging to this
port of that name, it is believed beyond a doub,
TO be the Auburn, Capt Hoyt, which sailed from
New Orleans on the Oath of August for this port
and was on Saturday fairly due.
The Auburn was regular packet between this
city and New Orleans, belonging to the late firm
of Stanton & Frost. She was to have been sole
on her arrival, for the purpose of settling the af
fairs of the firm. Her cargo was valuable, con
sisting 1862 bales of cotton, Is bales of moss, g.
sacks of wheat, bales of buffalo robes, 5075 pig
of lead, quantity of indigo, castor oil, starch
500 bales hemp, and about SO packages of mer.
chandise, which, with the vessel, was valued al
about seventy-fve to one hundred thousand dol
..ars, and insured in Wall street. The amount
is pretty well divided among the Offices.
She was good ship of FIVE hundred and fifty
tons burthen, built in this city about ten years
since, and was valued at $4,000.
OMNIBussEs IN BROADWAY. the cor
poration ordinance, requiring the drivers o
omnibusses to " keep to the right" be NOR
strictly enforced than it has been, Broad
way will be unsafe tor private vehicles, o
even for pedestrians.
1t not unfrequently occurs that the driver
of these large vehicles upset private car
riages, thereby endangering the lives of thei
occupants, for the purpose Of securing
sixpence, before the passenger be taken up by tn
omnibus little way behind This should no
be allowed, and if the nuisance continue to exist
private carriages will be forced to abandon thu
use of Broadway, and leave it in the exclusiv.
control of the omnbusses.
BY the way, we are happy to see that the Com
mon Council have directed Mr.. Russ to pave
another good portion of this beautiful avenue
with square blocks of granite, in the same way
as he is now doing the upper part. This is a
good move, and we hope to see it all paved in
the same manner before many years, when it be
and the omnbusses kept within proper regula
tons, Broadway will compare favoraby with
any street in the worl
