Yet to the drrgs this cup Of lie I'll drain;
This mingled cup Of nectar and Of gall;

One drop Of life to compensate for sll.

q LATER FROM rnr MEXICAN FRoSTiER

two alleged slaves OH the Mexican from

the relc,se oi one, on the production OF

painted according 10 his fancy, ('hat is

The GALE AT PRlscE EowARD's Is
LAsD.-The Prince Edward Islander OF
the l7th, to which we have before re-
ferrcd, gives the following descrip ton
Of the late storm:
"The disastrous I'd OF October, 1851,
will long be remembered in the annals
OF Prince Edward Island. The after
noon was warm and still the sky was
heavily clouded, but yet no Indications
Of the approaching teubpest were appa-
rent, eXceptinga lurid, brassy appear
ance {. the north and northwest about
sunset in the West Indies The sure
harbinger of.a hurricane. The moon
had passed her first quarter but the
dense canopy ofclouds, and heavy rain,
rendered her light hardly Percep'ibIe.
About an hour afaeF sunset, the wind
blew from the north, and soon increased
to heavy gale, which then continued
with unabated violence until near noon
Oh Sunday. A lew miles from the
north shore, and embayed between the
extreme horns Of the Island, were num-
Der Of American fishing vessels, for
which there was no escape but the har-
Dor. When they became conscious OF
their desperate position, they ran for
shelter 10 leeward, but having no lights
to diIec their course TO safe anchorage,
as there should be, we regret 10 say that
a fearful Ioss Of lie and property has
been the result. Prone as the people Of
this Island are to exaggeration, We fear
that il is, in the present case exceeded
by the sad reality, which transcends the
scale Of their imagination. Whilst we
write the actual loss has not been ascer-
tained-perhaps never will-but we
have what we consider good authority
for stating that about fifty corpses were
driven ashore between Brackley Point
and Cavendish-.a distance ofonly about
twenty miles within twenty.four hours
after the storm had abated. OF those,
ten sleep in Cavendish church ward"
The Newburyport committee who
went TO Prince Edwards Island Oh be-
halfof the owners Of fishing vessels, be-
longing to that port, returned on We'd
nesday, and brought accounts from all
the Newtu:yport vessels. except TWO,
from which nothing had been heard,
when they lett the Island on Saturday
last. OF the vessels belonging TO New
buryport Al are safe, 10 lost, and 2 the
Actor and Augustus, not heard from.
The committee estimate that although
some vessels have undoubtedly been
lost nt sea, with all their crew, the whole
number of vessels ashore and lost will
not exceed rs, and the number Of lives
lost will not exceed $50. The following
is list oithe lives thus far known 10 be
lost, and the names Of the vessels TO
which they belonged:

Several unknown vessels it is supposed
ioundered at sea, the crews of which
were of course lost. The committee
visited the wreck Of one about 80 or 80
tons, mile outside Of Malpec harbor,

had an eight-square bowsprt, and from
this they Judged that she was either a
Gloucester or Provincetown vessel. She

erection of separate and distinct building, within

The committee do not desire to prescribe any
