DISAXTERS NEAR MILFORD HAVRS.-1 Later dated Saturday says :—" Yesterday and to-day we wen visited with one of the mod fearful plea I ever remember witsosing, and many fatal casualties have, I fear, occurred as our coast. Numbers of seeds have pined the shelter. log protection of the haven, and about six hundred as now there, safe from the violence of the storm. Thine unfortunate vessels, however, in striving to reach it, sank in the very sight of the haven, and no human aid could be given them. The sea ran mountains high, and overwhelmed them in • moment. They went down suddenly as they stood, with all hands on board, and not a vestige of wreck save • small bucket has come oe shore to tall us their name or port. These melancholy wrecks happened between 10 and 11 o'clock this morning, and the three easels foundered within a short distance of each other. The first was • large brigantine, with painted ports ; she ensued a fine ship, and was well handled, but neither skill nor bravery availed to save her. The ' mighty waters poured down upon her, and she soak like lead a little distance from the Turbot-beak, with all hands. The seemed was • brig, apparently about 200 tons burden, and she bad • narrow punted white streak around her sides. She foundered shortly after the b4antine, and close to the Lewis Rock. MI hands perished. A bucket has Joel been picked up with 'Mayflower' painted on it. I think it belonged to this brig. The third was • large bark, having • broad wide streak and painted ports. She pliantly bore up to the harbour, and, could she but have reached its friendly shelter, would have been saved. But a little outside the harbour rock several tremendous seas broke over her, from which she Dever recovered. As she went in by the Lewis Rock the water was high ma her decks, up to the rails. Still she drove on till she reached the harbour buoy, and then •trsrssdously heavy sea broke high over her, right astern, and ease down upon her with thundering violence. liar bow neverapin see, and in • minute or so the hapless bark went down Mad-fees• mod, with all bands on board. We have sot yea beard of • single body washed ashes, bed that era of the de►oted crews of either of the three vessels amid have seeped with life is next to impossible. Perhaps the lafeemation I have riven may sufficiently distinguish the vessels, or that they may be rexignisoil by the owners or Shen ens eeted with them. Such persons will doubtless know about what point their vessels would be at this zaandag. and if outlay cal read their sad fate in the record above." THE CONDEMNED ffioaDaaas —lt will be remembered that • short time back a young man, named George Inkpen, was convicted of the murder of his sweetheart by drownieg her in the Surrey Canal, the intention of the parties having, no doubt, been to destroy themselves by suicide. The prisoner has been respited during her Majesty's pleasure.—The prisoner William Malony, who was convicted of the murder of hie wife in Westminster, and Richard Reeve, the boy who killed his sister in Drury.court, also remain in Newgate, awaiting the decision of the government as to what will be their fate, both having been respited during her Majesty's pleasure.
