With such a ticket and such a plat-.

of the Democracy in the impending

Another terrible shipwrock and
loss oí life, fifteen Souls having beer,
launched suddenly into eternity. It
appears that in the lato gale that
swept tbe £oast of Newfoundland and
while enveloped in a thick fog, she wan
driven ashoie, notwithstanding the
desperate efforts made to keep her
off the rocks. She struck on the Isle
of Shoals. Two bosta <rere smashed
against tbe ship's side.and their occu-
pants crushed to pieces. Tbe life-
boat saved the balance 6f the crew.
The cfctter was also successfully Iaun
cbed, but has not since beeu seen,
being probably lost among the break-
ers. Fifteen of the crew were lost
and fifteen saved. The name of the
wrecked steanssbip is the SÁltwell,
