The White Jacket, ship, from Bombay to Hull, England, has been totally wrecked on Rodrigues'lsland, in the Indian Ocean. Totaii Loss op the Brig Ocean Bride.— We take the following from tho Melbourne Age of the 7th August:—The disasters attending the gales that were experienced here nearly the whole of last month are now beginning to be told. Yesterday we had to announce the total loss of the barque Golden Age, and now we have to do the same by the brig Ocean Bride, both vessels owned at this port. It is, however, particuJurly gratifying to state that'in neither disaster were any lives lostIt is a singular coincidence that the crew of the Ocean Bride were picked up at King's Island by the uncle of Captain Murdoch, the master of the brig. The appended telegram from our own correspondent at Belfast gives the particulars of the wreck:—"The schooner Helen arrived here this morning with captain and crew of the brig Ocean Bride." Captain Murdoch reports that the Ocean Bride cleared Port Phillip Heads for Adelaide oh the 22nd June, and on the evening of the 23rd the wind veered round to W. and N.W-, blowing with great violence. On the 4th July, Cape Otway was sighted, and a cour.-e steered for New Year Islands, where the anchor was dropped the same evening, when the vessel was found jo have sprung a leak. The weather continuing heavy and the leak increasing it was found necessary to beach her on the 9th July, with j) feet of water in her hold. The crew had been on the island until Thursday last, when they were taken off by Capt. Gowan. Several yessels were sighted from the lishthouse, but paid no attention to the signals."
