LOSS OF SCHOONER AND THREE LIVES on LONG
ISLAND.
On Wednesday evening, about ii O'Clock, the
schooner A. l.. Hardy, Cspt. Allen, from Norfolk, Va
bound to Providence went ashore on Long Island, at
point about thirteen miles west of Montauk Point. The
crew of the vessel consisted Of the captain and bis two
brothers, and boy about fourteen years OF age In
medi,tely after the schooner struck, the mate was
washed overheard and as no assistance could be rem
dered him, was drowned. The captain and his remain
ing brother took the schoones boat and endeavored to
re ach the shore but the boat swamped and they per-
ished almoe they left the vessels side The
boy. who remained on the schooner, was taken off
on Friday morning about 10 o'clock, at which time
Mr. Charles r. Dayton, wreck master, first reached
the ecene Of disaster. At the time the vessel went
ashore the weather was clear and the wind fresh from
the north 1t s difficult to conjecture how the disaster
could have occurred unless the captain had mistaken
new lighthouse, recently established near Quosue,
for Montauk Light and thereby been led out of his
course The spot where the schooner went ashore is
about FIVE miles from the point where the Inflated John
Milton was lost short time SINCE The cargo of the
se-2 500 bushels of cont thought may be saved
though in damaged condition, but the vessel herself
will probably be total loss. Mr.. Dayton the wreck
msster at the station which the disaster occurred
came to Nsw-Lsndon on Saturday evening in the
steamer Island Belle, for the purpose of making known
the facts Of the lie teegraphed to Hsrwichport,
Mass to the families Of the deceased seamen having
asceraned from letters found in their chests that they

MISSING VESSEL.
The Bark. Gov. Hubbard, built and owned in Hal
lowell has not been heard from since the 9Th Of Octo-
Der last when che sailed 10 ballast frsm Aexandris
Egypt for some Fort On the coast Of the Northern Me-
diteranean. The Gov. Hubbard was a staunch vessel
of about 400 tuns, built in 1854 and commanded by
| Capt William II. Smith, son Of Capt Samuel Smith,
| Of Halowel part owner. Fears entertained that
the vee foundered in gale and that all hands shared
her fate 1t is barely possible that she may yet be
heard from, or that the Captain or of the crew
may have been ssved. 1t would seem however, that

ipgs either from vessel or crew.
FROM DETROIT TO LIVERPOOL DIRECT.
Our direct trade with England is established fact
Two vessels have already sailed this Spring, which
will be followed by several others as they
qupped and receive their cargoes. The schooner
Black Hawk sailed several days since. She took out
load Of slaves and lumber, which she will land in
Liverpool, via Wesnd Canal and the St. Lawrence
River She has on board a. 400 West India slaves,
and 300C0 feet black.walnut lumber. She is com.
manded by Capt Taylor, formerly of the Lampigh:ei,
in the Government service. Her crew consists Of
twelve men, including two mates, steward and seven
sesmen, besides Capt Taylor. The schooner Star of
the North cleared on Tuesday for Montreal, with q
cargo Of "a eco West India saves where she will trans
fer them to the schooner Chieftan. The latter will
take them to Liverpool direct Yesterday the schooner
Col Cook completed her cargo and came down to the
city, where che now lies waiting consignment of
black walnut lumber from the interior. She has on
beard g. GOO West India slaves. This vessel makes
the third clearing from Detroit for Liverpool within
week. There is little doubt that this trade may be
considered as permanent it affords handsome per-
celtsge over the shipments by way Of Eew.York and
Boston, in the saving freight charges, and finds no
impeachment to a safe and profitable navigation. Many

BRITISH CRUISERS ovERBAULIsG AMERICAN VESSELS.
Since we reported the fact that the American schoon
er Mobile, now at this port had been fred at and
brought to in the Gulf by the British var steamer
SyI, and her captain forced to allow British officer
TO come On board, several others Of similar nature
eave occurred. The vessels Of the British West Iada
squadron, II appears, have received orders 10 stop
every vessel they meet with the Cuba coast foy
the purpose of ascertaning whether they engaged
ii lawful commerce or in the slave trade, which BY
tie law Of nations, is piracy. It's probably owing 70

legitimate commerce have been mole.ted.
