She sailed from Falmouth on Christmas five fur herstation off the Black : as one of the look-out frigates of the Channel Fleet. In the violent storms of Monday, blowing about W. to S. W. she stood across the entrance of the Channel towards Scilly, made the Land's End, which they mistook for the Lizard, and bore up, as they thought, for Falmouth. Still doubtful, hoa ever, in the evening of Jlonday, Captain Lydiard stood off again to the S. o hen a cowailtatioa being held, it was owe more resolved to bear up far Falmouth. Running eastward and north ward, still under the fatal persuasiou thAt the Lizard was on the north-west of them, they did mot discover their mistake till the man on the look-out a-head, called out " breakers !•' The ship was instantaneously broached to, and the best bower let go, vvtieli happily brought her up; but the rapidity with which the. cable had veered out, made it impossible to serve it, and it soon parted in the hawse-hole. The sheet-anchor was they let go, ss hich also brought up the ship; but after riding end-on for a short time, this cable parted from the same cause, about eight in the morning, nod the ship went plump on shore, upon the ridge of sand which separates the Lee-pool from the bay. Never did the sea run more tremendously high. It broke over the ship's masts, which soon went by the board ; the main-mast forming a flouting raft from the ship to the shore; and the greater part of those who e,capel, passed by this medium. One of the men eased, reports, that Captain Lydiard was near bits on the main -mast; hut he seemed to have lost the use of his faculties, with horror of tle scene, and soon dhaprared. At a time when no one appeared on the ship's deck, and it was supposed the stork of death had ceased, a Methodist Preacher, venturing his life through the sane, got on board over the wreck of the mainmast, to see it' any more remained, 'some b rr.ve . hearts fol le sed him. 'They found several persons still he fay who could not get up; among whom were two vi omen and two children. The worthy Preacher and his party sassed the two womeu, but the children were lost. About two p. ma. the ship went to pieces, when a few mare men, who, for some crime, had been Anitfined in Loos below, 'merged from the wreck. One of those a... 5 raved. By three o'clock no appearance of the vessel re f-aloft'. Our Correspqndent at Ilaverford West has sent us the follow n.: melancholy account of the loss of the Autiot Transport, Mollenbv, with part of the 9th h Regiuteut on board:-- `• We embarked at Portsmouth 16th of December last, and • the 40th set sail with a fair wind for Cock. Se had very pleasant weather for two days, but afrz.r we bad paced Scilly, -me were becalmed two days. On Chri4tmas Eve it began to blow very hard, and the gale increased to a hurricane, the sea running suck prodigious heights, as to alarm the most c,:peri enced sailor on board; and which was made still more dauge you. by a fog, so thick, that one end of the vessel could not be discovered from the other; great quantities of water dashing e‘er the deck and rushing down the hatchways, all hands wet to the skin And perishing with cold; out pumps choaked below, our sails cal rigging tearing; it was with extreme labour we kept her afloat, by baling the water out with the bucket ; the morning's light afforded us the prospect of the Irish shore, hut the wind then shifting, prevented us making any har bour there. We passed all that night at the mercy of the winds, and in the morning we saw land about iICO leagues from us, but dare not approach it; the sea ran ma high, that the captain and *sew expected every moment to bs dashed to pieces, nor did 711 they exactly know where they were ;we put abon g..in and experienced the most dreadful sea; thus we were for five days, without change of cloatbiug, starving with hunger, not being able to serve out provisions, yet this was trifiiug to what we afterwards experienced—the ship was left to the merry of the waves—sallors and soldiers fell on their knees to prayers, for deliverance from their dreadful situation: fortunatel, how. ever, the vessel was forced into St. Bride's Bay, Pem • brokeibire, surrounded by prodigious, and almost inacces sible cliffs—here we were dashed ou a fork, which is not easily to be discovered. Our situation here was the most- dreaditai to be imagined--not a boat could venture to our assistance--hun dreds of people were viewing us without possible means of help: our mainmast fell overboard with a dreadful crash, and su ept over two poor fellows, who, together with four others that attempt ed to swim, were drowned before our cyes. We got ashore ua the evening of the 29th, without any thing but what was on u.; a few of our men have saved their knapacks. After we had quitted the wreck some hardened wretches gof on board and rob bed the vessel; the officers lost all their baggage. We are now in Ilaverford West, in very hospitable and good quarters. In the midst of this shocking scene, a soldier's wife was deliver ed of a very fine boy, and both arc likely to do well." DREADFUL SUIPWRECIC.—CRptain Russel, arrived at Salem on the lath Nov. from Petersburgh, communicates the f.►llow•ing distressing account of the loss of the English transport Alexander : Oct. 20, lat. 47, lon. 51. W. we fell in with a boat having on board 91 Hying persons, among whom were a woman and a child, in a most dreadful situation. They sailed from Monte Video on 9th Aug. hi the Alexander, Captain Howard, an English transport ship, No. 421, under convoy of the Unicorn and Thetis. There were about 110 persons on board the Alexander on the 20th Oct. the ship being in a very leaky condition, they were under the necessity of carry ingahort sail, by which means they lost convely ; and on the te2d the leak so increased, that with both pumps going, and bailing at the hatchways, they could not keep her free. The Captain took a small boat for his preservation, and rowed around the ship several times. Meantime the long-boat was hoisted out, lint unfortunately lifted iu going over the ship's side : 11 sailors, 15 soldiers, one woman, and a child, however, kept in the boat, mid found 'means to keep her from sinking. Thy had not got far off. when the ship seemingly blew up, and Foundered immediately. They afterwards spoke with the Captain in the. small boat. who told them to steer NE. and NE. by N. as that course N 1 ousel carry them near the coast of England, from which he said they were but a short distance. They had only four biscuit. in the boat, three gallons of spirits, and one pound of raisins. They and been in the boat six days, during which seven soldiers diet for want ; two of whom ktv dead in the boat when she came alongside. They had cut one man up, and had eaten part of hits flesh, some remained in the boat when they saw the ship, but on seeing her they threw it overboard. Captain It and the Cap tain of another American ship took the remaining .utfercrs On board, and carried them to Willem. LLOYD'S LIST. P6IIITSMOUTIT.
