The barque Britannia, Captain Garston, from Morant Bay, Jamaica, for Montreal, with a cargo consisting of 450 tons of sugar and twenty-five puncheons of rum, struck on the northeast bar off Sable Island at one o'clock on the morning of Monday, the 3^rd ult. The weather at the time was thick, and the vessel was going at the rate of six and a half knots. The crew remained on the vessel until Tuesday night, when she began to break up and all got on a raft. Besides the crew --- numbering twelve persons --- the captain's wife and four children were on board.

During the night eight of the men, together with captain's wife and children, were lost, two of the latter being washed away and two others dying in their father's arms. The steward of the ship had been lashed to the planks of the raft, but, the tremendous seas washing continually over him, he soon perished. Captain Garston was twice washed off, but his strong swimming power enabled him to regain the raft each time. Lewis Smith, able seaman, had during the hurricane some days before fallen from the foremast and broken his arm. While the crew were preparing to leave the wrecked vessel he was carried off by a huge wave and his companions were powerless to assist him. The four survivors reached Sable Island on Wednesday morning.

George Foy, first officer; Arthur Holmes, second officer; John Johnson; Lewis Smith; Fred. Henderson; Arthur Poorhouse; Ernest Molton; Mrs. Emily Garston and four children.

The Britannia was a barque of 444 tons register. She was built at Shoreham, England, in 1877, and was owned by Thomas Gates, of that place.

Last night, at Mrs. Smith's, No. 45 Duke Street, Robert Baird, late District Court Judge ...

With deep regret we announce the death of Abraham Lindo, Esq., which sad event took place at his residence, Falmouth, on Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. We tender our condolences to his relatives and friends.

In our last we announced the painful intelligence received by wire of the death of Abraham Lindo, Esquire, of Falmouth, and could not then do more than convey to our readers the sad announcement. We cannot, however, permit such a man to pass away without attempting some slight tribute to his high mental, social and moral qualities. Whatever may be our sympathy with his bereaved relatives and the extensive circle of his admirers and friends, it is at least equalled by the profound sorrow felt at the great loss which the entire island, and Trelawny in particular, has sustained in the death of one distinguished for his devoted patriotism and for his unceasing labours in promotion of the interests of his native country. He was most unostentatious in all he did, and never looked for more reward that was afforded him by a consciousness of doing what he regarded as a duty. He was one of the most terse and logical of writers in Jamaica, and spared no time nor pains to make himself thoroughly master of any subject upon which wrote. There appeared in the local press many an article that the intelligent reader had no difficulty in recognising as the production of the facile pen of Abraham Lindo, although his signature was not attached to it. No man was more esteemed in the parish of Trelawny, in which he resided for forty years, nor more generally admired and respected throughout the country. He was the consistent opponent of our present highly objectionable form of government, and probably has bequeathed to the island the improved form that is destined to succeed it. There is no official position in Trelawny to which Mr. Lindo would not have been welcome, and which the government would not have bestowed upon him. For many years he was a Justice of the Peace for the parish, but resigned his commission under the administration of Sir John Peter Grant. He was elected Member of the Assembly, but held his seat only for a short time, and resigned to make room for Mr. Shirley on his return to the island, and who was elected. In parochial matters Mr. Lindo was an authority, and there is no man in Trelawny -- nor has there been one contemporary with him -- to whose opinions more deference was paid.

We must repeat that however deep general sympathy may be in the melancholy bereavement that has befallen his relatives and friends, Mr. Lindo's death is nothing short of a public calamity. He departed this life at the age of 68, and if we could possibly regard his demise from a family and social point of view, we might say: "To live in hearts he leaves behind is not to die"; but sorrow becomes intensified at the great public loss sustained by the death of this modest, retiring, but still most quietly active and patriotic gentleman.

Died

Port Antonio was visited on Tuesday night with a terrible disaster in the shape of a fire, which destroyed nine buildings and a vast amount of property. From the information at hand, it appears that the fire broke out after 9 o'clock in the rum shop of Mr. Edward Sutherland, and rapidly spread to the residence and bakery of Mr. Gavers. DaCosta's tavern, the grocery of Fred. Carr, F. A. Autey's store, Nugent's rum shop and Escoffery's dry goods store were also burnt down. The residences of Miss S. Phillips and Mr. Mordecai were saved, although badly scorched. We regret to hear that Mr. Escoffery suffered very heavily, but at present writing we are not in possession of facts sufficient to enable us to approximate the amount of damage or the insurances. We believe there was no insurance on any of the property except Mr. Mordecai's. In view of the fact that Port Antonio imported from England a new engine with a large quantity of hose, which must have been at the fire, and further fact that the houses were practically on the sea beach where there was no scarcity of water, we cannot understand how the fire was allowed to attain such headway.

A very considerable majority of the Spanish and Portuguese and English and German congregations of Jews in this city, have decided to unite as one congregation, and propose to erect a new building suitable for Divine service. The decision is a wise one, and reflects credit on the members of both congregations. It is not only wise in a religious, but in a financial point of view. In the late disastrous fire, the two hallowed structures were, with valuable religious paraphernalia, totally consumed, and the generosity of co-religionists and Christian brothers are invited to aid in the erection of the proposed new building. The cost is estimated at about £6,000, and though this amount is large, hopes are entertained of success. From what we hear, it is much to be regretted that a very small minority decline to share in the advantages which must accrue in having but one place of worship, seeing that the faith, forms and ceremonies are identical. Mr. H. Barrow has consented to act as treasurer, and associated with Mr. F. B. Lyons, J. Mudahy, I. H. DeMercado, and H. Stern, are now collecting on behalf of the united congregations. We are assured that the sympathies of Christian friends will be substantially shewn.
