The Glencoe, which sailed for San Franciso on the 19th of February, with a cargo of potatoes &c., returned on Wednesday morning last, having proceeded no further on her voyage than Tahiti, in consequence of the greater portion of her cargo becoming unmarketable before she reached that port. She disposed of what little of her cargo remained sound at Tahiti, and sailed for the Friendly Islands on the 3rd of May; touched at the Island of Whytotake on the 8th, came to anchor at Vavau on the 15th, and sailed from that island, for Auckland, on the 22nd May. She was off the North Cape on the 2nd inst., and abreast the Bay of Islands on the 6th, but encountering the late heavy gales, she was driven away again north, as far as Norfolk Island, and did not reach port until the 18th. The Sisters, Clark, sailed from Tahiti, for Honolulu on the 3rd May. She lost an anchor and cable at the anchorage in Tarnoa Bay; the brig, Brothers, from Sydney, bound to San Francisco, lost a stream anchor and warp, and the H. S Page parted her cable at the same place, but was fortunate in picking it up again. As the Glencoe was leaving Tahiti, the French authorities were erecting a gallows to hang a man named Jackson, from Sydney, for the murder of a Mr. Hooton, at Tahiti.

Dreadful shipwrecks—Reported Loss of upwards of 300 Lives—During the week several appalling losses have been reported at Lloyd's, and have excited considerable attention in consequence of the great loss of life with which they were attended. The most heart-rending are those announced in the early part of the week—the total loss with all hands, of two whaling ships in the Arctic Seas, off Behring Straits, and the wreck of two English vessels, with

adventurers, for the gold mines at California, off the west coast of South America. The wreck of the whalers was discovered by a Captain Roy, on the 1st of Sept. last, off the west Cape, but the barriers of ice along the land, and a heavy gale, precluded him approaching nearer than three miles of the spot where they lay. Subsequently he ascertained from the natives, some 200 miles to the southward of the wrecks, that the vessels were lost in the early part of last spring, and that all hands had perished. No information could be gleaned as to where they belonged. The English vessels lost on the west coast of South America were supposed to be the Julia and Lucifer; the former was a barque, and was on a passage from Panama to San Francisco, with 250 passengers on board; the Lucifer, a schooner, had 50 passengers on board, and was proceeding from the latter port, for Boston. With the exception of about twenty individuals, all met with a watery grave—English paper, Jan. 1851. Wreck of the Screw-Steamer Nautilus-— Liverpool, Thursday.— lntelligence reached here this morning from Holyhead of the wreck of the Nautilus screw-steamer, Captain Pearson, of London, attended with the loss of six seamen and three firemen. The Nautilus was on her passage from London to Liverpool, when, on Tuesday afternoon, she struck on the Skerries Platters and went down, the captain, mate, two of the engineers, and one seaman only being saved.— Edinburgh Advertiser, January 21.
