ScsIPRtwECK.--On Thlittrsday mornling, it blew a very hicav'y gale, and at about half-pat six o'clock, the brig Juno, of JYersey, Francis l,cfevrc otaster, from .fersey to Glasgow, was driven on shore at Burling Gap, westward o1 Beachy H'eacl, and neanr the station of Lieutenant Clarke, Rt. N., of the Coasit Blockade. With great promptness thtat gentleman imm-ediately orderedl the lashlings to be taken from the men's hamnmockcs, atid to lie spliced togetlser, which being done, thie men undler his command proceedled towardh the vessel, and after sieveral attennVtta, througls a tremendous sea, fie at length succeeded in getting a Iinie on board, bv whiich snianst die whole crew were save'd. Soon after this wvas accomplished, the vessel remnaining whole, tieutenanlt ClaTke, withc twfo of his men, got oil boardl, nitsbent her sails, got her top-gallant-miasts and topmaAts diown, Bad on the tide',s ebbing got out twoancinors and cablest towardls the sea, to prevent the vessiel dlrifting in and dlashiing against thec cliff, whicht she would have done hiad the gale continuied. It is COtMIsiEre that the vesRel is particularly strong, or she would hiave gonse to pieces thie firsat tide, as in most instances is thie case whien wrecked near Beacisy I feat], Should the weather con-- tinue mioderate, hopes are enitertainedl thiat the vessel will be got oft ; the cs.rgo ig all saved, and now Ilies in a perishiinz state;, but, for thte beuclfit of thiose concerned, will be sold on Wednestda' next. The cargo is principally tshe prolcerety of ths Vaptqin, ind is not insured: the whole of the shipi's stores aye saved. Trhe services of the Coast Blockade are of great valuie to the egeiots in ease of wreck, as thzey command ril immiedliate force, andi by thie prom-pt mneasures of thie officers, the disgraceful practice of plunder, so pr-evaletit on tIre coast, is; materially, checked. It is statedi, that not. a bushel of apples hasa beeni plundered from the Junio: we could iiot have said this a few yeatrs since of the lads on the Sussex coast, although the practice of plundering wrecks has been Ikeg decllitting, from the numibe-rs that hiave been psunished. Great credit is flue to M)r. J. B. Stone,of New- haven, the Dleputy Vice-Admiral for Sussex,; miuch also to Mfr. ilodison, of hiurhing, for their exertions! in saving the Ji,0ao cargo. The weather was extrermely wet, with heavy squalls, the whole time the cargo was landing. The Captain has no dloubt every soul on board must have peri shed, had It not bein for the resolute exertions of Lieutenant Clarke and hnis men. We hope tlsis case trill be deemed worthy the notice of the Comimitteecof the Roval iistsitutioni fOr rewardling persons that save the lives of shipwrecked mariners. TlNs is the seco-id crew that Lieutenant Clarke has saved withiin 15 months.- Evenitsg paper.

N.ARROW EscAra FItoS DROWNING.-WARE, INOV. 20. -'Wednesday afternoon last, two little girls, children of labsouring people at WVare, went together to Hertford. In crossing the planlc bridge over the river Ltee, leading from Fordham's Blill towards Hertford, they, both fell into the water, closely linked together, and were driftea clown the stream for many yards. Providentially, very shortly after the accident occurred, a nieighbour passing by observed a hu-man face floating on the water, anid immediately gave the alarm, which brought several men to the spot. W1hilst they were dlebating what to do (for th'e water was deep), a spirited yotung man threw off his coat, plunged into the water, siwam to the body, and with considerable difficulty~ succeeded in rescuing C-be dear chjildlren from a watery grave.
