II seems as though Wilmington bears
n charm tor Swimdlers, thieves, tramps,
and sporting men, who indulge iu dog
fights, etc, and other notorious persons,
who seem to think they can ply their
numerous profess 'onS here with more
profit and less fear Of mo,esl alton, than
in other places. Thus fact is often no
ticcd, and case is now brought to
light, where u sNiu,.ler who was driven
from this city over Il year ago by Aen
whom he ha,! succeeded in Swind,iug,
has again made his appearalce, and
the people should keep sharp lookort
for him. He isdescriNHi rs hump.
backed young man, bliud in one eye
and whose apl earanCe attracts consid-
erahle attention. He goes by the name
OF Bennett. W hen he tiral came 10 Thu,

ANTIGUA.

A sad story reaches us from Anti
qua Of the loss of thirteen men at
Barbuda by drowning, owing to the
capsiz;ng Of 3 boats which were going
off to a stranded British vessel, the
Botstord. The details will be found
in another column. Barbuda is a
very fiat island, having an area about
equal to hat Of st. Croix, but
not rising more than 200 feet
above the sea level. Sand banks
and coral reefs line its western and
northern shores, and wrecks are fre-
quent on these partly hidden dangers,
which extend outwards for two or
three miles from the shore. The
Botg0rd struck at about a mile from
the land, and the captain reports that
the boats which came off were too
small for their purpose. No lives were
lost on board the wrecked vessel, the
crew Of which landed with considera-
bic difficulty on the third day after
she had struck.
The Observer has the following
in regard to the telegraph company.
There was an adjourned meeting
of the Legislative Council on Thurs
day the 9th instant. The Commit
tee appointed to consider the applica-
ton of the Telegraph Company for a
modification Of the terms of the present
contract and for an increased subsidy,
brought up their report, which is, for
reasons given at length, but for
which we have not present space, de-
cidedly unfavourableto the Company's
application, the committee also seeing
no object in sending a delegate to the

LOSS OF LIFE AT BARBUDA.
ITO the Editor Of the antigua Register)

Ito the Editor Of the antigua Register
Sir,
I send you extracts from a
letter written to me by Rev. w. Cowley
of Barbuda, giving an account OF the SAD
calamity which has plunged that Island
into grief. The tale is marked as you will
see, by some instances of noble heroism.
A subscription list has been opened for
the widows ard families OF the drowned
men. III. w. White ESQ, has kindly un-
dertaken to be Treasurer of the fund so
raised, and any contributions may be sent
to him. [ trust that the appeal made will
meet with such a liberal response that it
may be possible to give these families
regular help for some time.
Mr.. CoWley says
"Our little village is sudden.
" thrown into deep mourning. Thirteen
of our men, overSeers, cartmen, and regu.
lar workmen were drowned off Cobb-cave
reef on Thursday the 14th inst. Early in
the morning of that sad and never to be
forgotten day a report was brought into
the village that a large vessel was wreck
ed on Cobb cave reef n. E. of the Island;
as usual there was great excitement. AS
Soon as possible three boats were des-
patched in carts to the nearest point.
Other and larger boats sailed down the
lagoon but in consequence of the heavy
seas and ground swell these could not get
near to render any assistance to the
distressed vessel. On arriving at the
point nearest to the wreck the boats put
off to see what could be done. MT.
Hopkins had charge of one boat and two
of our best seamen of the others. 1t soon
became evident that the boats could not
approach the wreck in consequence Of the
heavy seas and ground-swell. A strong
northerly wind hads been blowing from
Monday, the sea, one mass of foam, was
running mountains high accompanied with
a strong current running easterly, the
wrecked vessel was thrown high up on the
reef; and into this foaming and heavy sea
our little boats nowlforced themselves. Mol
boat in charge of Mr.. Hopkins first left the
shore and arrived within 80 yards OF the
wreck, the other boats followed. No.
boat found it impossible to continue her
course, the danger increasing every seco nd,
orders were given to return, the other
boats not observing the movements OF NO.
1 boat held their course. No ] was scarce
