Wreck Of the Bark OrIOIe.

From the Portland Times, Sept %.
The Bark Oriole, Capt. Leniz, having on
board the materials for the Light House on
Cape Disappointment, together with the
hands (some twenty necessary for its ercc-
lion, was wrecked on Columbia river bar on
Monday afternoon last, the 10th, under the
following circumstances She waited eight
days outside for pilot-took OIL a pilot
Sunday evening, and was being taken in by
the new, or middle channel. Ailer enter
ing short distance, the tide changing, and
the wind luling, forced the ship into shosl
water among the breakers, which were run
ming high, and struek-and in Eve minutes
was found 10 be filling fast, and the ebb tide
carrying her into deep watrr-aSsisied by
the sails-they having been srl to bring her
into tho channel again, Immediately after she
first struck.
The order was then given to man the
boals, which was done with safety, dispatch
and coolnes5.
The boats were two in number, and near
ly all got in, excepting few who remained
and Gu; the lighter loose, which noaied as
the ship sunk, and was token in tow BY the
life boat and the yawl. II was thought ad
visable 10 retain the lighter for the follow
ing reasons So as not to overload the other
boats, and 10 have its use when landing. it
being safer and capable Of safely carrying a
very heavy burden but after twelve hours
hard rowing in the night, it was found that
the tide was taking them all out 10 sea-
All hands leh the lighter and went into the
boats, and the lighter was cut adrift. In the
morning the pilot boat, which had been in
srarch Of the wreck. was discovered outside
the bar, aud the boats made for her, and the
crews taken on board, and brought to Asto.
ria. No lives were lost.
There were FIVE vessels which crossed the
bar in the same channel that day and the
Matthew Vassar, Capt. Dodge, was in com
pany at the time of the disaster.
Capt. Flavel, the bar pilot, was cool and
vigilanl, when dangers thickened, and as
soon as he found tho vessel wrecked, set
about saving the lives of those on board
The Bark Oriole has been used for about
eight months in transporting materials for
the four Light Houses which have been con-
structed down the coast. She had at this
time full freight of very heavy and solid
materials, Consisting Of hewn stone, paints,
oils, &c., used in constructing Light Houses.
We are indebted to Mr.. F. y. Kelly, one
Of the contractors for putting up these Light
Houses, for the above information, and he
assures US that this accident will not delay
the construction of this Light House further
than after the rainy winter weather.

Grcy's HarbOr Correspondence.

CHEHAf5F, OREYs $ HARBoR,
September 10, 1853.
DuR GoLuHBIAN To your recent re-
quest hasten 10 comply. In reference TO
this portion Of our Territory, it is passing
strange that so desirable and fine a portion,
which may well be considered the garden
TpOt ofthe country in beauty and fertility,
should so long have been unknown and un-
explored. But large in extent, it must as
suredly ere long, figure extensively, and be
one Of lhe strong holds of the Territory,
when its many excellent qualities, localities,
mineral and numbering facilities, fisheries,
and lis navigablc waters are known. It's
commercial position must in the future, make
it The richest and best portion of the coun-
try. Two unfortunate circumstances have
prevented it's settlement-6rst, Wilkes ex-
ploring expedition was here, he says, in very
uniavorable wcaiher-wind and rain-was
much perplexed to get the Indians 10 move
at all, and they made no survey, but passed
on and only made a note of what they could
see at distance. II was only guess-work,
and unfortunately that was very incorrect
will therefore give you description ofthe
main FEATURES Of the bay. The whitman.

place BY those whose interests are antago-
Rislic 10 ours.
There are two good channels leading into
Grey's HarbOr, the largest running almost
Z. and W. through the breakers, near the
western extremity of Wilimauiic island
The other from The s. W. There is always
an open space Of considerable width free
from breakers, N either channel, probably
from one 10 two miles in width, making 1
Junction 'ome three miles Or less inside tht
breakers, and forming spacious channel o
from Two TO three miles wide into the mair
bay. Just at the southern point Of thi
island, smother small channel comes in from
The N, N. w. This island is about 81,
miles in length. As soon as you come int
the main harbor, the channel expands form
ING a large space Of deep water of suficisn
capacity for the largest ships; and this i.lan,
and the main shore on The south side of th,
bay forms complete protection from any
