SHIPwRECK AND IT'S MELANCHOLY CON-
sEQUENcE.-A correspondent of the Nor
folk Herald writes as follows from Plymouth
North Carolina, under date of the 18th in
slant


"On the night of Tuesday, the 9th inst the
schooner Comet, Of this place, was wreck
ed on the Worth Point of Breakers, near Oc-
racoke, and all on board perished. Besides
the crew, there were two young men, the
sons of Mr. SrErHEN LONG, of Williamson
promising interesting youths, in the morning
Of manhood, the pride and hope of their
heart-strlcken unfortunate parent


g But, oh, sir, how shall describe the
awful calamity which the effects of the
news of the death of her commander
Captain THOMAS S. CHASE, our townsman,
has brought on his poor disconsolate widow
and two helpless babes So intense and
overpowering was her distress at the unhappy
fate of her ahectonate husband, that it is
presumed reason must have been overthown
in the dreadful trial. Last night, between
one and five o'clock, she arose from her bed
and though severely cold, plunged into the
river with both her children. The.bod of
Mrs. c. has been recovered, but as yet nei-
ther of the poor innocents."
