The brigantine 'Coronet,' from Tahiti, which arrived here to-day, brings intelligence that two American ships, one the • Mogul,'and the other, name unknown, have been burned to the water's edge in the Pacific. The two calamities, as reported, present very extraordinary features. Both vessels belonged to the same American firm, both were loaded with coals at Liverpool for San Francisco, both were burned within a day or two of one another, and the crows of botti found shelter at the Marquesas Island. All hands of the 'Mogul' were saved, but they were nearly twenty days in open boats. The captain, mate, and one boat's crew of the other vessel were lost, but the second mate brought the other crew safely to the Marquesas, after 22 days' privations and difficulties, having been all that time without instruments or charts. A small piece of cardboard on which' the course was marked off was the only means of reckoning used. The vessels, when burnt, were nearly 2,000 miles from laud. The first crews arrived at Tahiti the same day as the' Coronet,' and the last one arrived seven days afterwards.
