60 We regret to notice an extract from

Macaulay; in which he says, '"The state of
my health is such that | Shall probably be
under the necessity Of passing tie next win

ES-A schooner about 40 tons was run
down and lost, with all on board, BY the
Liverpool steamer Minerva, a few miles north
of the Isle Of MN, on the night of The 29;h

pable negligence of the steamer.

Eg"fhe fineiron steamship Duke ofSuth-
erland, trading between London and Aber-
deem had been wrecked. She arrived on
Aberdeen barber ON Friday afternoon, after
a rapid run from London. At the harbor's
mouth, a freshet IN the River Dee meeting
the tide, together with an inshore wind,
caused a heavy swell, which drove the
steamer on the rocks close to the breakwater.
The wreck was close to the shore; with the
least energy and forcthought, those on the
land might ave saved the passengers; but
by gross ignorance and stupidity Is or %
persons were suffered to drown III the pres
ence of hundreds Of lockers on. The Cap
tain Of the steamer behaved with ~coolness
and intrepidity, but was dromned in attempt
ing to save a female passenger. Nearly an
an hour after the ship struck, it was remem-
bered for the first time that benefits rockets
and ~llfelihes, were Kept in the lighthouse
close at hand. On gong there, the key Of
the room which contained them couldnot be
found. After some time spent in looking
for it, a man broke open the door. When
the lines we're conveyed to the shore, it was
found thatnone of the shot would fit the gun.
There was no powder either, and a boy was
despatched to'a shop, haif1a mile of, for a
pennyworth Of powder. When that was
procured, nobody knew how to fire q rocket,
and if a man-of wars man, had not arrived
at that juncture, every soul aboard the
steamer would have been lost. This gen
tleman, sent a line over the wreck, by which
a hawser was rot aboard, and those who
were saved, were conveyed ashore III slings.
One life boat put off from the shore manned
by six men, and these succeeded in taking
two passengers from the wreck, but in re-
turning were drowned.
