PORTLAND VESSELS SAFE ARRIVAL
Bark H. b. Cleaves, Capt. York, Reported
at Martinique.

The bark Henry B. Cleaves which
sailed from this city for Martinique,
with a cargo of lumber and shocks from
j. II. Hamlin & Son. has been reported
as having arrived safely at her destina-
ten on October 20. The letter conveying
this intelligence was receiyed here re-
GENTLY from Captain York, who COM
mands the Cleayes. Some anxiety was
feIt for the safety of this weasel, as it
was thought that she mighB have en-
eountered some of the severe storms
which played such havoc with vessels
sailing about the same course as the
Cleaves. Captain York, in the letter not
flying the firm OF J. H. Hamlen & Son
of his safe arrival in Martinique, did
not say any thing about enoountering any
storms, SO it Is safe to assume that the
Clenves met with an uneventful passage.
She WAS "a days in making the trip from
Portland, and is now loading with salt
at Fortune Island for Baltimore or
