N WRECK OF THE AUBURN.-One olthe sur
vivors of the Auburn has furnished an ac-
count of the loss ofthe vessel, from which
we gather the following particulars. The
! ship, at the time ofthe disaster was under
! double-rcefed topsalls, and in charge Of the
! second mate, who heard the breakers and
instantly called the captain. The ship
struck, however at | o'clock on Sunday
! night about five miles south of Barnegat
! the masts were cut away, and at about
> o'clock, p. Nj. the violence Of the sea
broke the vessel in pieces.
| At about o O'clock the small boat was
got ready and lowered, but she was cap
| sized aud washed ashore with two men,
! Mr. Bisby and Mr. Eccleston) who
clung to the bottom. The long-boat was
launched, but Immediately swamped.-
Hope seemed now to have fled, and no
| farther attempt TO save themselves was
made till about 5 O clock in the eiternoon,
when MIR. Fisby. Thos. Chandler and
VIM. Sutton prepared to launch raft -,
made ofa few small spars and two empty
casks. They hung it at the stern, and
invited all who desired to do so to get on
it, and do their best to reach the shore.
No one but a s,ck man, named Thomas
| Taber, and MIR. Fisby's wife, ventured to
accept the offer, and with these three
! persons on it the raft was cut adrift, and
| finally was cast ashore not, however be-
fore the sick man was washed off three or
| four times, and as often rescued and ta-

II THE FAME, OF New LoNDoN,A SLA.
YER. 1t will be recoIIected that the
bark Fame Of New London, from Sand
which Islands via Rio Janero, for Boston,
was recently reported missing vessel
and that i. was the belief in New London
| that she had gone into the slave trade.
A slip from the New London Morning
News has the following :--
/ Capt Hamley, late of ship Stonington,
of this port, arrived home on Saturday
morning last. While landing some pas
sengers from his ship at San Bias, in
| March last, he was detained on shore by
the authorities, and his vessel sailed
without him. lie afterwards proceeded
TO Guayaquil, whence he took ship
direct for Baltimore. The vessel in
which he was a passenger, spoke ship
off the Coast of Brazil which had been
into the por, of "Macahe" probably
Macceio) to stop leak, where she saw
the bark Fame, of this port. 1t has been
scerained taai she made one voyage
after slaves, ,and was supposed to be fitting
for n second voyage at the above port.
The vessel which saw her there also
reports the U. 5. brig Banbrldge going
into "M acahe" as she came out.
BRuTAL OUTRAGE 1t is seldom we see
recorded more signal failure in case
