THRILL INC CAVE ADVENTURE I was born and brought up in the neighborhood of the salt works of M---. My father.was.second en gineer, and I filled the situation of assistant. The scene of ()dr 'alining operations, at the tinie Of the event which ,I am going to narrate, was in a narrow valley, lying close to the foot of a perpendicular cliff of rock about one hundred feet high. On its bare sides neither grass nor shrub, was to be seen and scarce any ine quality was visible, whereon the foot of the climber might find a resting- Place. In fact i it was considered un scalable for a distance of two miles, -when it sunk down:gradually at , either end to level of the plain. , Ascending the cliff, one beheld on its summit a wide plain, stretching off in the dis , Lance from the sharp edge •f the precipice, and from that dizzy point could look doWn upon the works of the miners below, cloSe • under its I sides. Upon the top of the cliff which I have been describing, I was strolling listlessly, late one Sunday afternoon thinking of a strange and sad circum stance which had happened about a year before in . our family. My only brother, a lad of fifteen, had gone out early one summer mornina. ° to shoot plover on the heights, and from that hour hid never been hoard of. When last seen, he was. mounting the cliff, from the eastern side, 'and though (when alarmed at his long delay) we made immediate search and inquiry, we never gained any further informa tion. To speak of our family distress, and my own heart-grieving for well beloved youne , brother, is notn OW my purpose; but was the only subject of my thoughts on that quiet sum mer evening, when all the noise from the work was hushed, and the still- ness seemed tenfold )).y 'contrast. I approached very near the edge of the Cliff. I was. now at its steepest part, and looking down its smooth sides, I thought how terrible a fall would be; Willy brother could not have fallen .down. In that case his mangled body at least, would have been found. I was recalled to myself by a strange sinking of my feet. My first confused idea was that the soil had given way from the edge of the cliff upon whose utmost verge I stood, and that I was about to be precipitated to the bot tom. I became - dizzy with horror,for I felt at once that I could not reeover myself, so sudden was the caving in of the earth (month me. I made one stumble forW7rd, in a wild struggle to save myself, felt a ringing and crush ing in my cars and then I lost all fur ther sensation. It must have been many hours be fore I was sufficiently conscious to know that I still existed. Biek Wised 1 was long unable to raise ,• myself from the prostrate position in which L became aware, at last, that I was lying. It was quite dark, and every portion of earth or stone that I touched was wet, and a smell of damp salt pervaded the close atmos phere. I thought I hail fallen into an exhausted salt mine, but soon re membered that I had been standing on the edge of the cliff. It was an impossibility. Then came the idea that I must have fallen to the bottom, and the loose earth and stones had fallen over me. That, too, soorrfound equally nnlikely, and, after groping about some time on my hands and , knees, (every movement one of in tense agony,) I became sure that my prison was a cave of some extent.— i Too Weak to move farther, I lay down and endeavored to think of my posi tion. It seemed a hopeless one. was certainly in one of those eaves I formed in the salt rocks, and , some time found by miners, running far beim; the eaith's surface. I had no idea how far 1 had fallen : it might he but a few feet ; it might be as many hundred. As yet I could find no trace of the passage through which I had dropped, but remember ed that I had a case of matches in • My pocket, and it was pot long before I mei:ceded in dragging them otit„ l though it was excruciating pain to ! my bruised limbs to move them. Having no taper, I determined to be very careful of the matches, and to improve the short moment of light, I during which one would last. l-rub.b ed it very carefully against the sole of my boot, then harder, then furious- ly—but it would not ignite! Then I tried another, with no better success. I They were too damp—everything was damp ; the matches wore useless.— With a faint hope of drying them in time, I put the box into my breast, I and buttoned my vest over it. With i my failure in 'procuring a light, and the pain of my bruises, added to my terror and bewilderment of mind, I aufferod intensely. Through all it be came clear to me that instead of fall ing over, I had fallen through the cliff—Strancre as it was that hollow ground should occur so near to the edge without the external wall of the cliff caving in towards it. The space I through which I had fallen must have been narrow, for my body was bruis ed, and the skin torn from my sides, I with strips of my clothing; that I could feel. Oh ! for a light to exam ine better into my miserable position; bat after all, I did not feel without hope. I could not lose the idea that I was to hit upon some means'or way. of aeoapp; if T only avid get the li k atelieat,O ignite, -and'. slow me the s i ze i s mdforlß . , pf . the cave • `I . -awoke with a, raging thirst, and, almost at the smile time, I became sure that I heard the dropping of water. I dragged .my self towards the sound, stretched out my lipid, and drops from above fell upon it; eagerly I swallowed a few, which burned my, throat; they wore distilled brinoy salt,as any impregna tion of water could' possibly be ! This disappointMent crushed me terribly. I should'die of thirst ere I. had found a mode Of exit. I thought of the matches, and tried themagain, in vain; however they gave forth a light some. In time4he heat of my breast would dry them—that was a hope. I had Do idca of time, save that my watch hathriin down while I slept. I wound it Up again,. knowing that.when it again atopped eight-and twenty hours would: gone hy.- . - Azain, on my- has and knees, I crept around, feeling by the damp walls, and, as I Continually approach ed and receded from' the spot where the salt-water 'dropped from a project. ing rock, I diseovered that the cave was nearly round, and not many yards square. Having discoVered this, I became collected and resolute, and , forced myself to:a calm review of any 'posi tion. I had to acknowledge to my self, that my . Only chance of escape seemed the hole, or crack through which I had fallen ; but no ray of light betrayed that stop-earth and stones must have fallen in and chok ed it up. -Parching with thirst,.and faint from bodily injuries, I was al most at the point of despair, when a distant sound fell .upon -my ear. I listened with intense attention. Soon, more and more distinctly I recogniz ed the noise of machinery, the rum bling of carts, and 'the voice of men ; then a bell:rtin,,c; , ; and, with a throb of joy} Lrecognized. it as the morning summons to the laborers in the works. A night only could have passed since my leaving the outer world. Had they missed me? .Alas! there was nothing to lead them to suspect the spot of my captivity. I thought of the strange disappearance of my young brofher---4his double bereave ment comforted -by the knowledge: that only a partition of rock Separa ted ale from my fellow men. Now I could almost distinguish their voices. I felt that it was vain to think that my calls , and stouts could be heard by them, yet could not : forbear shouting till I was quite exhausted. Then I reflected on the means I could find of digging away the. barri er of rock. It could not be thick ; knew that, by. my facility in hearing sound; and concluded thati-;as I had fallen close to the edge of the cliff, I had sunk straight down• to the level of the valley at its-foot, and•possibly the Wall of my prison was not more than two or three feet in thickness. But I had no implements, save my knife, and that was a elender one, quite elleNial to, cutting a passage ov en throng the damp salt-rock, which formed the partition. Suddenly7re, membered having picked up a heavy iron ox-shoe, On the wagon-road, dur ing my Sunday walk. It was still in pocket. With what . joy I pulled it out, and commenced eagerly my. work. , 1 will not detail the agonies of those days and nights, when - I.T.lrked on iu the darkness,-sometimeg encouraged, sometimes nearly hopeless. I. could not find that I made.any visible prog ress.; the sounds were not nearer that at fitst, and I was -growing . hOurly more exhaaSted from fatigue and burning thirst. The salt air of the cave inflamed my : eyes, parching my skin, and excoriated my throat; and often I had a horrible idea that I should go mad; but I worked on. had wound up my watch five times, therefore it must have - been the sixth day—deliverance as far off as ever. I had been trying to loosen a fragment of rock which see,ined soinetvhat de tached fY.oin the strata. (This I could only judge of my feeling.) If I suc ceeded !should much reduce the thick ness of the barrier at that point; but ha.r.l to stop and rest before the final trial. I again tried my matches. I had constantly done so hitherto, but with out success, and but few remained; but now the third one that I tried gave forth a light smoke,then a light blue flame, and finally a clear red light. I held it carefully and beheld plainly the cavern in which I was im inured. It was a small one and spark ling from the saline crystals, as if studded with gems. Opposite to me was a dark object, on a projection of the shelving rock, and bearing a similarity to the outline of a human figure. I lifted high the expiring match, and by its last ray, I saw a human face I In a frenzy of impatience I tried the few remaining matches, in vain ; the last ono was in my hand; more carefully I drew it. over the sand-pa per; it burned only for „an instant; but in that instant, holding it direct ly even with the body, I recognised the dead pale, but unchanged face of my poor, lost brother Henry I I was again in darkness, with the dead body and 'my frenzied thoughts. After a time resumed fiercely ray la boy at the rock. A few blows loosen ed it ; a few more and the large mass rolled inwards, and from a fissure in the rock which lay behind it, came in a narrow streak of daylight. I was all but mad, or 3. would not have had sufficient strength to effect my .pur pose. By the aid of my ox-shoe I soon increased the hole, till it was large Owlish to admit my head.

N. R.—There are many dull minds, in which the wonderful is always COll - with the fictitious, and many such of my acquaintance have main tained that the scene of my adventure was the cellar of a neighboring die• tillery, often visited by all the fami ly embellished by a heated fancy or aai incipient diliriurci. To such -the best answer is—no answer. Great Gale on the English Coast: LOSS OF THE ROYAL CHARTER MOLFRE BAY, ThUrsday evening, Oct. 27.—1 t is my very painful duty to record the total wreck of the screw steamship Royal Charter, Capt. Tay lor, which took place at from 3 to 8 o'clock con the morning of Wednes day, at Molfro, a rugged portion. of the Anglesea coast, and about midway be tween Almwich and Puffin Island.— The ill-fated vessel sailed from Mel bourne on the 26th of August, hav ing on board 388 passengers, of whom 63 occupied the saloon; and a crew, including officers, of 112 persons:— While the ships was passing Queens town, on Monday morning, 13 of the riassengers landed in a pilot boat. On Tuesday morning, at 11 o'clock, the Royal Charter spoke the steam-tug United Kingdom, which, instead of returning to port with riggers, who had been. assisted in the working of a ship to Cardiff,- transferred 11 of the riders to the Royal Charter, Captain Taylor, having kindly agreed to take them to Liverpool; so that there were on board at the time of the wreck 498 souls, and of these only 39 were saved, The loss of life on this sad occasion 1 teas 459 perions. The Royal Charter had on board A large amount 'of spe cie on freight, the exact amount ofl . which cannot be ascertained, as all the ship's papers have been lost, but, , it was variously estimated by the sur- 1 viving passengers and crew at from £500,000 - to £BOO,OOO. One of the saloon passengers, who was drowned, was stated to have had in his posses sion gold to the value of £.10,000. • She had only a moderate cargo, prin cipally of wool and skins. From the time of leaving Port Phillip Heads 1 till the arrival off the Irish coast the passage was in the highostdegree far orable ; she was once in danger, and then from an iceberg. After passing Queenstown the wind veered round to E. N. E., blowing strong. On . Tuesday nightit blew-a gale, and con- ! tinued to increase in violence, tilt at length, on the morning of the fatal disaster, it blew a perfect hurricane. Arriving off Point .Lyikas at 6 P. M. on. Tuesday evening, signal rockets wore for several hours thrown up, in ! the hope of attracting a pilot, but none made their appearance.. Cap tain ! , Taylor, finding that his ship was making leeway, and gradually drift: - 1' ing towards the shore, let go both the ! anchors, but such was the, violence of the wind and the heavy cross sea pro nailing that the chains parted. Not withstanding that the engines were worked at their full power, the cap tain was unable to work to windward, and the unfortunate vessel struck the rocks stern first, in four fathoms wa- !, tei'. Up to this period (about 8 A. ! M.) not the slightest alarm was ovine ed among the passengers, a large por tion of whom were women and chil dren ; the most perfect discipline and Order prevailed. The masts and rig- ging were cut adrift, but caused no re lief, as the ship continued to thump on the sharp pointed rocks with fearful ; rapidity. Shortly after she struck, the ship was thrown broadside on, perfectly upright, upon the shelving stony beach the bead and stern lying due east and west, the former not being more than twenty yards from a projecting rock. At this juncture, one of the crew, a Portuguese, named Joseph Rogers, nobly volunteered to struggle through the heavy surf and convey a rope on shore. Though it was not believed • by any one that danger was imminent, the Captain gave the order, and Rog-' ers ably fulfilled his duty. A strong hawser was then passed and secured on shore, and to this was rigged a "boatswain's chair." At fire o'clock the ship labored and bumped to such an extent that the ladies and children exhibited the greatest anxiety and ' fear; they crowded together in the after part of the saloon, and the Rev. Mr. Hodge, of East Retford, a clergy ( man of the Church of England, offer. led up . a prayer; . but his exhortations were interrupted by the violent thump- ing of the !weasel on the rocks, and the heavy seas Which came dashing into the cabin. . The scone in the saloon was of the most heart-rending description ; chil dren and parents, husbands and wives, were clinging to each other in affec tionato embrace. Captain 'Withers and Captain Taylor came' down and tried to allay their fears by assuring them that there was no immediate danger. Scarcely had their words been uttered before st. succession of tremendous waves swung her about on the rocks,' and she divided amid= . ships, engulphing all on board.— Shortly afterwards she also:parted at the .-forehatch, throwing a large aura - helot' persona into the ,sea: • Katy WHOLE NO. 544. Were killed - by the breaking up of the. ship. Several of the crew saved them selves by means of the hawser to the shore, while the remainder were hurl ed upon the rocks by the waves; all_ the officers perished: -.Capt..

William Rughes, the only apprentice saved, states that when the vessel parted, ho was in the waist, and was precipitated among the machinery, which was hurled to and fro by the action of the waves.--= He had given himself up for lost, when a wave lifted him clear of the ship and landed him in an unconscious state. The survivors, during their stay at the - scene of the wreck,- were very !fluidly treated. Two ladies made themselves conspicuous by their atten tion to the sufferers. It is stated that all the boats were in perfect readiness for lowering bad circumstances permitted. TRACING A PEDIGREE.
