Ihe total number OF vessels belonging to, or
bound to or from, ports i'm the United States, re-
| ported totally lost and missing during the past
| month is SIS. OF this number 81 were wrecked

as follows: Three steamers, ships, IL barks, 4

mated at $1,162, 900.

| steamship John Bramhall lies stranded on the
coast OF Little Gull Island, in Long Island

may yet be saved. This steamer has insurance
| effected upon her for upwards of ST. OO0O0 but
| as vessel and cargo are principally insured In
| foreign Offices her loss would not be felt among

| possible mas been made to save this valuable
vessel and her cargo, and we hope they will be
| successful.
There were also large number OF oyster
| vessels and other bay craft driven ashore and
wrecked during the recent great gales upon our
coast, the latter principally I'm the Chesapeake
| and Delaware bays. The losses must neceS-
| sar1y fall heavily upon our local marine insur-

| the depression In shipping, have been limited
| the past few seasons. Some OF the vessels lost
| were not one year old at the time they met dis
