Rankin is authorized to attend to the besiucss of the subscriber during his absence. Wm. Henry Egan. August ”21 357 tit Extraordinary Shipwreck; But more Extraordinary Preservation. The brig Wear, of London, Thomp son, master, with a crew of ten men, sailed from the Thames, on the l‘2th March, bound for Iceland, for a cargo ol ice. —Nothing remarkable occurred to them till the 28tb, at noon, at which lime they were within 200 miles of their destination, when the larboard bow ol the vessel struck violently on an iceberg, which injured her so seriously, that 65 minutes afterwards she went down. At this appalling juncture, five of the crew were on a piece of ice, endeavoring to make her fast to it, and the others were exerting themselves to get out some ol their provisions. With the ship two ol the hands were lost —the other four be ing expert swimmers, got upon a piece of ice, and by means of two studding sail booms, wljich served them as a portable bridge, and enabled them to pass from one piece of ice to another, they eventu ally, but not without great difficulty and danger, reached their disconsolate ship mates, The ship boats having been crushed to pieces by the ice, they had on ly saved from the wreck, three bags ol bread, and a small quantity of beef and pork, about thirty-six yards of canvas, two oars and a boat hook, some blank ets, a tin candle box containing some cau dles, the two studding sail booms already mentioned, the three main hatches, the slide of the half deck hatch, a rough oar, an aiu>, a small saw. a mallet, 8 caulking iron, a three-quarter-inch chis el, a quantity of nails, a tinder box and some rope.—ln this perilous situation, with destruction menacing them continu ally, upon a piece of ice not sixty yard square, floating in the cast northern o conn, and insulated from all human aid, they remained for fourteen days, without any protection from the gelid atmosphere, Iml a flimsy tent, which they construct ed of the oars, the boat hook and the can vass. Into this, at each return of night, did these poor sufferers retire for repose, hut the cold soon chased away, “ tired nature’s sweet restorer” from their eye lids, and to counteract it effect*, they were obliged, at short intervals, to come forth to their dreary promenade, and re sume their wonted walk. The. manner in whicf they contrived to cook their vic tuals is worthy of recital —it evinces how prolific necessity is in expedients. The lid of their candle box they converted into a cube use, the box itself into a boiler, and for fuel they substituted rope, which their tinder-box enabled them to ignite. On the Ist of April, sensible (hat unless they made an effort to save themselves, destruction would inevitably overtake them, they resolved on building a boat with (he scanty materials which they had, and this they thus effected. The bot tom which was flat, they made by having the two studding sail booms parallel at the distance of two feet, and nailing on them transversely the boarding ol the hatches—the carlings of the hatches they used for timbers —the gunwale they formed of the rough oar, split into two, and the st ern of the slide of the hub deck hatch. Having proceeded so far with work, the next difficulty was to procure sheathing.—To supply this they had re course, to their canvass, with which they covered the frame which they had con structed, nailing it to the studding sail booms, and thence extending it over the timbers to the gunwale, to which they lashed it with spun yarn ; and, to render it impervious to the water, they melted their candles, the grease of which they rubbed into it. In the prosecution ol this (in thair circumstances,) Herculean undertaking, now fortnnatoly brought to a completion, they would have been bad ly off for want of agimblet, had they not a large sail needle, with which they con trived to bore. It was a lucky circum stance for them that they set about ef fecting means of deliverance at the time they did, as, on the tenth day of their being upon the ice, the sea washed away the greater part of their provisions.— Having rigged their fragile bark, with an oar for a mast, and a blanket for a sail, and having put on board the scanty rem nant of their provisions, ami some ice lor water, on the lllh April, they commit ted themselves to the mercy of the winds and waves, steering in the direction ol Iceland ; but having for three days at tempted a passage through the shoals ot ice without success, they were obliged to put back into clear water. —On the 18lh killed some seals with their mallets, which they found asleep upon the ic e, and the same day they landed upon an iceberg, for the purpose of cooking them, which they were enabled to do by means ol some drift-wood which they had pick ed up. Hero they passed the night, us ing their boat, which they had hauled up on the ice, in order to its preservation, as a dormitory. On the 19th they again put to sea, steering for the Faro Lies ; but the wind, on the 21st, being easterly, they were constrained to change their course, and again bear up lor Iceland. On the 241 h, ,tj»ey found to their inex pressible concern, that the heat of the sun had melted all their icc, from which period, owing to the want of water, their sufferings may be better conceived than described. On the 2Sth they were glad dened with the sight of land, but their view ol it was soon intercepted by a thick fog; and when this cleared away they could not discern it, the wind having, in the interim, veered and blown them back to sea. Next day, the 29th, from exces sive sufferings and want of water, three of their number died in great agony, and a few hours subsequent to their demise, they were obliged to commit their bodies to the deep, the captain acting as chap lain on the occasion. At this time the survivors were tormented with such in tolerable thirst, (hat some of them, to al leviate it, drank their own urine. That evening they again came in sight of land, and the following day, the 30tb, they ef fected a landing about 40 miles from a place which they say is called lludeford. At this time their feet were so dreadfully frost-bitten, from their having been im mersed in wa er for a number of succes sive days in the boat, that they could merely crawl about—they therefore had to remain here till the 2d May, when some Icelanders, who were out in a boat, perceiving them, took them in, brought, them to their homes, about twelve miles distant, and used every .means which hu manity could prompt for their restora tion.—They indeed acted the part of the good Samaritan towards them, furnishing them with necessaries of wearing appa - rel, washing their ulcerous feet, and dress , ing them with fresh butter, the only salve ’ they could command. With these hos pitable people they abode till the 2d June, . when, Isarning that the Emanuel, ol i, Limekilns, Scotland, Hutchinson, was h taking in a c.n goof ice at Rudeford, for >f the Coleraia fishery, their kind hosts pro o vided them a conveyance thither, and h represented their case to the Governor, r w b° obtained a passage for them in the if abovementioned vessel, and ordered ;, them a supply of provisions. On the 3d 5 .lone, the Emanuel sailed, and on the t 12lh June arrived at Portrush, whence, ,v on the same day, these poor mariners 0 were conveyed in the King’s boat to this e city—three of them in a state of help >f lessness and consequent destitution, which ,f is calculated to excite pity in the most i- obdurate breast. The captain lost two e toes by the frost, the carpenter four, the il cook all his, and part of the left foot, and e Charles Folston’s feet are in a very bad n state. —Londonderry Journal. d Riots at Madrid. The riots in the city of Madrid about tile end of May and beginning of July, j appear to have been of a serious charac ter After the King had prorogued the ’ Cortes, a portion of the grenadier guards _ attacked the populace, and several were wounded. The first lieutenant of the p guards was wounded in endeavoring to restrain the soldiers. The affair did not a end here. On the night of the 2d of July four battalions, amounting- so about 2000 j men, raised ;he standard of revolt, and | quitted their quarters. ’ The rebel soldiery took possession of a ' s sort of fortress, 4or 5 miles from the city, called the Prado, where they waited un -1 til the 7ih of July, when they sallied [ forth, and malting a rapid movement on llu! capital, sought to disarm the national ’ militia encamped in the square of the Constitution, to take possession ol the Puerto del Sol, and attack the park ofar ’ tillcry—they completely failed and were j ultimately scattered losing from two to three huudred men. The constitutional ists were the victors. ■ Later, accounts from Spain mention _ that tranquility was perfectly restored in Vladrid, It is said (hat the Duke de I’lnfantado and 128 others, have been ar rested as chiefs of a conspiracy to effect a counterrevolution. A body of revolted j caribineers have been entirely destroyed , by the militia in Andalusia. Some agents l’ of France are found to have been impli cated in all the conspiracies. ' In many of the provinces of Spain, the mails had been stopped, and all commu ’ nications interrupted, j The following proclamation by the constitutional junta of Madrid was issued ’ on the evening of the 7lh : ’ “Madrid, julv 7. ’ “ People of Madrid. —Spanish blood has flowed in the streets of this city, shed e in consequence of the conduct of traitors (o their country —perjured men,'”who have violated the sacred oaths by which they swore to defend I.iberty. The re £ bel battalions of the royal guard, which I had taken a position in the Prado during e the night, secretly entered the capital and attacked the defenceless population, the gallant national militia, and the no y less gallant troops of the garrison. But the perjured rebels paid dearly for their temerity. Overthrown in every direction, dispersed and straggling, those who have saved their lives endeavor to repair to j the palace of the monarch. Many are concealed in houses. Those wretched y. men obtain, perhaps, a merciful asylum from the generosity of the persons they intended to assassinate. Public tranquil lity and public safety however, require J that all those measures which the exisl _ ing circumstances call for, should Le promptly adopted. Your constitutional Ayuntamienti, therefore, orders every citizen to deliver up, without excuse or , delay any guardsman whom he may have received or concealed in his house, under the penalty which the laws inflict on cri initials guilty oflligh Treason. Citizens, the unfortunate wounded, as well us all ’ the other prisoners who have fallen into the hands of the brave defenders of our liberties, have been treated with (hat ’ compassion and generosity which the con j- templaled unhappy men, misled by black intrigue and vile seduction, dictates to j truly liberal minds. In fine, though fac n lious, they are Spaniards ; they are our brethren, and the conquerors are Libe rals. The cause of the country has tri ’ umphed.

' A CURIOUS SPECTACLE. 1 The exhibition of Mr. Neal’s rat -1 tie snakes at the Eagle is too great a 5 a curiosity to be passed over. It is one of the most singular sights which , we have ever witnessed. Mr. Neal is a Frenchman ; while in North-Carolina, he attempted to j procure some rattle Snakes, for the purpose of making out a collection. But some of the observations and e.v --1 periments he made, induced him to 1 believe the possibility of taming this ; poisonous reptile; he finally made | the trial and has succeeded in a man . ner which is calculated to astonish ev i ery beholder. What is the process he ' employed, is unknown to us— he pro -1 bably availed himself of the power, \ which a control over the appetite of i the. uniraal gives him—he dwells ve • ry much too on the charms of music ; , while inflamed by hunger,and irritat - ed by the application of hot iron, the ’ creature is soothed and softened by a [ slow and plaintive strain. i Mr. N. has tw« rattle snakes—the ' male, which is 4 feet 8 inches long, has 8 rattles to his tail, thus proving him to be 9 years old—he has had , this snake 4 years—The female is 1 much smaller, and has 5 rattles— she r has been with him 33 months.— So ‘ great is their docility, that he will ’ take them up, after speaking a sort of . jargon to them, and stroking down , their backs, as if they were so many 1 strings — he will make them crawl up 1 his breast and face, caress and hiss him, coil round his neck, and while ’ one of (hem is thus hanging around : him, he will take up and exhibit the ) other. The perfect harmlessness of ■ the reptile, and even attachment to his keeper, is astonishing. Mean while Mr. N. is himself thoroughly at , his ease—completely self possessed, diverting the spectator with the ex hibition of his snakes, or instructing them by his explanations. He says, he lias no fears himself; for, indepen dently of his command over the ani ■ mal, he is satisfied he can cure the bite of it—of the remedy he makes no secret.—Wash your mouth first with warm sweet oil, and then suck the wound—next, drink most copiously of the decoction of the snake root, until it operates as a strong emetic.— This is the regimen he recommends | —and which he believes to be in fallible. There is no deception practised upon yon. He opens the mouth ol the snake, and shews you his fangs.
