The RECENT Foes - FOURTEEN VESSELS
WRECKED AND GREAT Loss OF LIFE.-The
dense fogs that have recently prevailed in Lon
don appear not only to have extended over the
| entire length and breadth of the country, but to
the whole of the continental countries, and to
great distance at sea, where it occasioned many
serious and fatal shipwrecks. Amongth the many
that have been reported at Lloyd's are the fol
lowing: The bark Norfolk, Capt Buckham,
from Shields for London, with $50 tons of Goals,
got on the rocks at Marlborough Head, on
Tuesday night last, where in the course of the
following morning, she sided off and went
down broaside into deep water. A dense
fog prevailed the whole night; and though
tar barrel was burnt on the deck to attract at
tention, it was unobserved. The crew took to
the boats and thus saved their lives. The loss
of the ship and cargo is estimated at upwards
of $4,000.
On the same night collision happened off
the same coast, the Dudgeon light bearing
south, distant fifteen miles, between the brig
Lily, Mr.. Torode, master, bound to Guernsey
from Newcastle, and the schooner Industry
from Southampton. The accident was of that
violent character as to sink the latter named
vessel, the crew having just time to save them
selves. Off Keiss, near Wick, in the same
night, the brig Sisters, Mr.. Cowie, of Port
gordon, got ashore and became total wreck.
Another vessel is supposed to have been lost
schooner Primrose, Of Lossiemouth, from Lon.
don, in ballast; she was bound for the Baltic,
and the owners are apprehensive that she
foundered, and that every soul on board met
with a watery grave. Between Southwel and
Sunderland no fewer than twelve coasting YES
sells, golfers, belonging to the Tyne, Stockton,
and Hartlepool, were wrecked; the whole of
them were attributed to the fog. In the course
of yesterday other losses were posted at Llyod's.
The British ship Lady Bulwer, Captain Thomas
Tobin, bound to Quebec LOO tons burden,
with 200 emigrants, foundered in sixty fathoms
of water off Moosepecca Islands, on the night
of the 9th of last month; all on board were
saved by the boats. She belonged to the Black
Ball Liverpool line Of packets, and was insured
