WRECK OF THE " SARUI LOUISA." [From the Belfast (Australia Felix) Gazette ] Wp, regret having to report, the total wreck of this fine brisr on Fiiday morning last, on the Port Fairy beach, having been thiven f oui her anchorage clu ritif^ the strong pa es of the two pi evious d iys. The gale commenced on Wednesday morning at three o'clock, with Ircsh squalls and lain fiom south-west, mid continued toiucrcse until 'Ihuisdayat one i>. m. Finding the ship driving, the Inrbo.u d anchor was let no and seventy f.ithoms cable p'.iycl out, when she rode more eisy. 'I he wind then chopped loimd lo south-east, and about four I. M.the cargo bo,it got swamped, .md broke adrift. On Friday morning about half si veu o'clock, a tremendous sea struck the vessel and parted the larboard anchor; she then drilted in shore, and, after ha\ing struck thiee times, it was deemed advisable to slip the stai board chain and set the foie- topsail, jib, and staysail, when slie ran further up the beach, but continued striking dining the whole ofFriday and Friday night. About nine o'clock on Friday morning, the second mate, Hetny Newton Love, wai washed overboard, cind Thomas Smith, a seamen, leaped after to endeavour to save him. Love reached a hatch off which he was (.'allautly rescued by Mr. Gibney, and Smith was picked up by a boat steered through the suif, at imminent peril, by Captain Cowtan. The bowspiit went about twelve o'clock, and the foremast about twenty minut«> afterwards. John Hughes, a seaman, shoitly after tlie bowsprit went was washed olf the foretopgallant yard, and the lcmaining seven who had taken to the tigging upon the deck getting under water, were upon the falling of the foremast all plunged into the breaKeis. Of these, three, Richard Waferand William Millar, seaman, and the caipentcr, a Chinamen named Jack, were rescued by a boat steered by Mr. Chailes Mills ; John Grant, chief mate, Willliam Parnngton, and Angus Wnirs, seamen, regained the rigging ; and John Taylor the cook, was drowned. Several unsuccessful efforts were made by Mr. Mills, during the remain.ng part of the day to get the mate and two men liom their perilous situation, but from the strong swell which btokc on all sides lound the vessi'l, his utmost elfoits were unavailing. He and his ciew miianied on the beach all night, and as soon as the day dawned lencwed thur attemptb, which we are glad to say proved successful, the tlnce sufferers having been brought safe on shore, where they received every attention their miserable situation so much required. As a proof of the general sympathy felt for the unfortunate crew, a subscription lids been commenced and alicady amounts to £90. Mr. Barnes, of the melting establishment, most generously piovided accommodation and every comfort for the men, and the expense and inconveniencr- to which he has been put must have been very considerable. To the professional skill, promptitude, and perseverance of Dr. Russell is to be attributed the preservation of Wafer's life, which was nearly extinct when lie was dragged from the surf. The noble and zealous exertions of Mr. Mills are beyond all praise, and will be long remembered by all who witnessed them. He will be presented with a piece of plate as a small testimonial of the high estimation formed of the courage and humanity he displayed on the trying occasion, and never was mark of admiration better deserved. Capt. Oldham was not on board after Tuesday morning, and it is only due to the port to state the general opinion, that had he been on board he might have put to sea, and prevented the sad disaster which has occurred. The mate acted throughout in the most praiseworthy manner, but it is not to be expected that he would take upon himself the responsibility of putting to sea wheu the master neither went on board himself nor sent instructions for three days previously. The vessel was 216 tons legistcr and insured ; she had on board at the time of the wreck abut' ut litty casks of tallow and 7000 bushels of wheat, which weie also insured. Both vessel and cargo will be sold on Wednesday next, " ior the benefit of all concerned."
