with a child at her breast. The vessel soon after lost her mast, and in a short time became a total wreck. In the course of a few minutes, a soldier's knapsack was washed ashore, and soon after the pelisse of a little child. The wreck now began to appear in alt directions, and so complete was the destruction, that in less than an hour it is believed that the whole of it was landed in pieces not exceeding the size of an ordinary plank. Only two of the bodies have yet been found, a man and a woman. The former was immediately recognized by many of the spectators present. It is supposed there were not less than between 30 and 40 persons on board, all of whom perished in the view of some thousand spectators on the beach, without being able to afford the least assistance.

The life-boat was instantly launched, and went out in defiance of the tempest; but, unfortunately, not withstanding every exertion being used, could render them no assistance. It is impossible to describe the awful situation of the numerous passengers of various descriptions, who were then ascertained to be on board; among whom was discovered, as the most helpless victim, a young woman

16. Frankfort. — Very large quantities of hops have been bought up within these few days for English account, so that the price rose from 50 to 100 florins per cwt. On this sudden rise, speculators immediately set off for Bohemia and other hop countries.

31. The kingdom of Sicily has been divided into Intendancies which are organized like the French departments. There have been established provincial and communal councils, who have reduced to insignificance the autho rity of the feudal jurisdictions. The Intendancies are to the mumber of seven, namely, Palermo with 405,231 inhabitants, Messina with 236,784, Catania 289,406, Girgenti 288,877, Syracuse 192,710; Trapani 145,712; and Calata Nisetta 155,225 — making, in all, 1,648,955 inhabitants.

The vessels for exploring the northern regions have begun to be equipped. Two are to endea vour to penetrate through Davis's Straits, and two to reach the North Pole, if possible; by which means it is expected to ascertain whether Greenland is an island, or part of the continents of Asia or America. The vessels are to be stored with every requisite in provisions, nautical instruments, &c. The crew, it is said, will consist of 50 men, including officers, in K 2
