Yesterday morning, at about3 o'clock, the Ame-
rican ship Oneida, with a crew OF twenty men and
twenty passengers, struck on some rocks about
two miles of the northwest OF this island, and,
after an unsuccessful attempt being made TO wear
ship, was driven on TO the rocks ON The southern
extremity of La Perrelle Bay, where she remained
fixed. BY the conclusion the udder unshp-
ped, the ships back broken, and the mainmast
sprung, in consequence Of which the latter cut
away and drifted out to sea with Its sails and rlg-
giDg, The sea was now breaking. violently over
The ship, which, il was apprehended, would go to
pieces; in consequence, several OF the boats were
got, but as they were lowered they were dashed
TO pieces, with the exception OF the longboat,
which, hswever, from the bolsterous state OF the
sea, could not be entered. BY this time day was
breaking, and the ship being seen from the shore,
several boats put out to her assistance, but owing
to the terrific breakers by which she was sur
rounded, had great difficulty in approaching her.
Finally, however, they got under her bows, and the
crew commenced lowering some OF the passengers
by sings from the bowsprt; but while this opera
ton was in progress, Mr.. Henry Upper, Lloyd's
agent, arrived, and seeing the peril to which the
passengers were exposed by being slung into the
boats, and knowing that in the course Of an hour
or two, by the falling OF the tide, they could be
landed in safety, advised the master 10 keep all
hands on board. This advice being followed, the
whole Of the passengers and crew, with their per-
sonal effects, were subsequently, brought, without
any accident, TO shore, where they were kindly

The cabin passengers were French lady and

who had on board with him very valuable coec-
tion Of pictures and other works OF art, accdmu-
lated by HIM during residence OF thlry.hve years

ton, and a large quantity OF provisions, taow,
and ashes, making in the whole nearly 1000 tons.
TIE property has been taken possession Of by Mr..

force OF men, boats, carts and horses Is being EN-
ployed to bring the cargo 10 land the sum Of l2 Cd
being fixed Tor every bale OF cotton brought to high

parts Of the properly. The ship, il is believed,
will become total wreck, but it Is hoped that the
materials may be saved. The Oneida sailed from
New York on the let instant, and had not made
any land TILL about ii O'Clock on Thursday night
The ship at that time running course east and by
north, light was seen ahead, which was supposed
10 be on the English coast, but shortly afterwards
II was made out TO be the Caskes, the light then
being on the larboard bow. On this discovery
being made, the ship was put about, and steered
west and by south, and the wind then being from
the northwest, added TO the indraught OF thus part
of the channel, threw her on TO the coast OF this
island In this disaster, We have another proof OF
he fv ar hay "A "
western coast OF Guernsey, as the crew oi the
Oneida are, we understand, unanimous in declaring
that, had there been such hght the vessel would
not have run into the peril which was the cause OF
her being lost. We have every reason to believe
that the erection Of a light is already decided on
but we trust that the present addition To the list OF
calamties, of which this coast has been the scene,
will be the means Of acceeratlng the execution OF
the intention.
