We last week announced the loss of the Martha Brae, FARISH, on the passage from Jamaica to Whitehaven. It happened in the Gulf of
Florida on the 7th of June, in a dreadful gale of wind, which continued for three days. All the people in the Martha Brae were
saved, except a passenger, and a boy belonging to the ship.—The following account is given in the Royal Nassau Gazette of the 22nd
of June last:—"The brig Martha Brae, of Whitehaven, William FARISH, master, sailed from Jamaica on the 18th of May, bound to
Whitehaven, and on the 6th instant, in a severe gale, was driven on shore near Indian River, on the coast of Florida, where she went
to pieces in a few hours; part of the cargo, consisting of rum, drifted on the beach. Mr. BOWMAN, a passenger, and one of the crew
were drowned. The master and the rest of the crew having fortunately reached the shore, remained there in great distress for seven
days, during which they had nothing to subsist on but a cask of water, which they providentially found on the beach, a keg of
tamarinds, and a few cocoa nuts, when they fell in with some of the inhabitants of Key Buskeen, who took them to their settlement
and treated them with the greatest attention and hospitality. Capt. FARISH and his surviving crew arrived here a few days ago, and
take this opportunity of expressing their grateful thanks to the inhabitants of Key Buskeen, for their kindness." 

 

The Canada, Capt. POTTS, of Whitehaven, spoke the Traveller, from Leith, Capt. BELL, bound to New York, in lat. 52. 17., lon. 25.
58., on the 24th July—all well.
