MARINE DIsAsTEk-Loss OF LIFE. Capt.
4. G. Sturges, OF the schooner Eliza Jane,
of Barnstable, Massachusetts,, arrived here
last night, and reports the loss of the Eliza
Jane, off York Spit, in Chesapeake Bay,
together with two men, one Of whom was
and the other James s. Nickerson, one of
the b lands on board. Both of these men be-
logged in BArustaole aud wee lost under
the following circumstances.
The Eliza Jane left Alexandria on the
2Sth day of January, with a cargo Of coal,
consigned to 5 II Hodges Il Co., and 9th
ers in this city. She got along quite
comfortably until she encountered the gale
of the 3lst Of January, when she had her
sails blown away and sprung aleak, and
commenced to settle. The captain and crew
of three men, then got into the small boat
which was tied sstern, but finding that the
vessel did not sink, and that the sea was
TOO heavy for the small boat, he got back
on the vessel and ordered the men aboard
again; one of the men obeyed, but two of
them, as named above, preferred to reqai in
in the boat, and either cut her loose, OF she
broke loose, and with the two men in her,
was heard OF no more. The Captain reports
that the gale was terrific at this time, and
finding that he would be swamped very sooa
by the sea which was breaking over him, he
run the vessel ashore. She struck about 2 A
M, about two miles from shore. He remained
on the wreck until yesterday morning, wher
he was rescued by boats fromthe shore; thence
conveyed to Hampton, and arrived here, a.
stated above, on the steamer last night, and
has entered his protest according to due
form OF law.

GRAIN MRAsUREns will bear in mind that
they are required to make returns OF all grain
measured oy them, up to the close of the past
year, to the Common Council, which meets
next Tues day. 1t is all important that these
returns should be made, since it enables those
interested, to gather the statistics which should
by all means, be kept up. We apprehend that
it will be very little trouble Tor those gentle
men who hold the offices of grain mesurers, to
make up their returns, and we refer them to
the late action of the Councils for the penalty
in the event they do not.

she said that she had just been discharged
from a certain family, after being with it q

which she was entitled, she was cooliy in
formed that there was nothing due her, and
upon her demonstrating, was told to SNAKE

that there are souls so small or hearts so lost

DEATH BY BUnNINa.-We are panied to
learn that small son of Mr.. George Porter
was fatally burned yesterday afternoon by
his clothes accidentally catching fire. The
little unfortunate and several other children
were alone in room at play, and coming
in contact with the fire, he was soon envel-
oped in flames. Mr.. Porter, hearing the
screams of the little ones, rushed in the room,
and succeeded in extinguishing the flames,
though not until his child was too badly
burned about the breast and head to admit
OF his recovery, and after suffering great ag-
ony he expired last night about II O'Clock.
The child was only two years old.
Mr.. Porter's hands and arms were severely
burned in extinguishing the fire. He resides
on King street, Portsmouth.
