In the first collision she must
have sustained some damage, as she was making water
forward. The rice will probably be all destroyed: but
the more valuable part of the cargo is fortunately in
the after-hold. Captain Trent was preparing his long-
boat for sea, when the providential arrival of the
TEMPEST, pursuant to Admiralty orders to call at
islands in her course for castaways, saved the gallant
captain from all further danger. It is scarcely
necessary to add that both the officers and men of the
unfortunate vessel speak in high terms of the kindness
they received on board the man-of-war. We print a list
of the survivors: Jacob Trent, master, of Hull,
England; Elias Goddedaal, mate, native of
Christiansand, Sweden; Ah Wing, cook, native of Sana,
China; John Brown, native of Glasgow, Scotland; John
Hardy, native of London, England. The FLYING SCUD
is ten years old, and this morning will be sold as she
stands, by order of Lloyd's agent, at public auction,
for the benefit of the underwriters. The auction will
take place in the Merchants" Exchange at ten o'clock.
