Wreck of the St. Paul, from China.—The schooner Prince of Denmark brought oh to Port de France the captain and a portion of the crew of the French ship St. Paul, of Havre, which vessel was wrecked on the 10th September last, on Adele Island, near the eastern of Louisiade Archipelago. The St. Paul was bound from China to Sydney, with 350 Chinese passengers, when she struck on a reef near Adele Island. After landing the crew and all the passengers in safety, Captain Pinard, of the St. Paul, started in the longboat with a few seamen, in order to reach the coast of New Holland. Several days of navigating brought him to Cape Grenville, where he landed in search of fresh water. He went ashore for the purpose, leaving a man in charge of his boat; when he returned,,the man was found asleep on the beach, and the boat had been cut adrift. After livingseveral weeks among the natives, who took everything from them, but spared. their lives, the shipwrecked seamen were rescued by the fortunate arrival ofthe schooner Prince of Denmark. Captain M'Kellar kindly received them on board, and brought them all to Port de France, where they received from iheir countrymen every assistance and attention. The Government of New Caledonia has ordered the steamer Styx to proceed at once to Adele Island, in order to enquire into the fate of the remainder Of the crew and the 350 Chinese passengers, and to bring them on to Sydney— Herald. Destruction of Two Whaling Ships in the Ice.— 'These serious losses in Davis' Straits have been-made known at Lloyd's by their agent at Lerwick. The vessels were the .barque Heroine, 387 tons register, belonging to the Dundee and Union Whaling Fishing Company, and the barque Eclipse, 283 tons, one of the fleet of the Peterhead and Lerwick Whale and Seal Fishing Company, and both appeared to have been wrecked at the same time, the crews, numbering nearly 150 individuals, experiencing a very narrow escape.' On the 13th of July, when in latitude 75-30 longitude 60-30 W., to the southward of tlie centre of the Straits, the ice came down fast upon, the Heroine, and on the following day a large quantity of drifting ice came pressing down on the open side of the deck, soon broke it in, and crushed on to the vessel. In less than an hour there was twelve feet of water in her hold, and soon afterwards she heeled, over on her broadside, and quickly disappeared. The crew remained on the ice till the next day, when they reached several whaling ships, and their wants were provided for. They lost everything they possessed. The loss of the Eclipse .took place in latitude 70-30 N., longitude, 60-30 W., on the same day, 13th of July, and in precisely the same way. Both ships were fully insured at Lloyd's.
