Wreck aND Loss oF Lire.—We copy the follow- ing accounts of the wreck of the Zipcoon, from the Newfoundland Courier :—

The schooner Zipcoon, belonging to Mr. Joseph Stuc- kley, a respectable planter of Herring Neck, left that harbour on ‘Tuesday the 9th current, bound for this port with lumber and fish. The crew consisted of Mr. Stuckley, his three sons, and three other persons. The vessel was seen on Thursday afternoon off Bonavista Bay: last Saturday she was boarded by a schooner from Fogo, was on her beam ends, had bulwarks and rail on the starboard side stove in, and also some tim- bers and planks knocked in above the bends. One boy was found drowned in the cabin, no trace of the others; it is feared the crew must have all perished, as the boat was discovered full of water within two miles of the schooner. It is thought that the vessel must have run against aniceberg during Friday night, which was

squally. The wreck has been towed into King’s Cove.’

New York for Europe last week, and New York has drawn specie from every other section of the country, under the instinct of self preservation, and already is the panic of scarcity rife in Charleston, Mobile and New

Meantime, the sreat mass of goods which have been accumulated under this wild came of excessive importation are piled op in New York without a market, and subject to ruin- ous expenses and the competition in prices which an overpuls of goods always creates. Several of our mer- chants who have been to New York to purchase goods, assure us the quantity of goods in store there, is beyond anything ever seen in this country, and that cash will buy theta cheaper than they can be bought in Liverpool. They difficulty is, there is no cash wherewith to pur-

chase them. ‘I'he surplus specie has all gone where the pieces at the Kennebec dam, on Tuesday last, causing,

Revo.utron rn St. Domtneo.—We learn from Cap. Williams, brig Ellsworth, arrived at New York in 21 days from Marigoane, St. Domingo, that the people through- out the Island were arming themselves against the Go- vernment. The night previous to the sailing of the FE. an army was collected at Marigoane, which was to join another army of 2000 strong from Jacme), that were a short distance from Marigoane; they were then imme- diately to attack the Government troops. The people appeared to be very much exasperated against the Pre- sident. The day after Captain W. sailed, thesea being calm, and about 40 miles distant from Port au Prince, he heard during the whole day firing of heavy guns in that direction. Captain W. supposed that the two armies were engaged in battle near Port au Prince.—N. Y. Journal of Commerce.

She is now about twenty years of age, but does ‘not appear more than seventeen.
