Extract of a letter frotn Ailssre W. and J. Morrison, the agents to Lloyd's at Stornaway, to J. Bennett, Esa. "Stornaway, July 19. "The sBchooner etsv Packet, of Portmouth, New iaamrshire, stranded ,;t Lochnmaddy last winter, sailed hence for Boston, on the second current, after re-shipping her cargo, and being outfitted hete; shc received no damage in her hull, excepting her forefoot started, aud some part of her she.thing rubbed off, although abaut- doned and sold for behoof of the undetwriters. "The sehooner Emma, Cooper, of Ipswich, from Liverpool for Dundee and A rbroath, put into Lochroag yesterday in distress, having lost her foremast, &c. in a gale of wind, on the 16th current, off the Flannen islands. " There is every season a laTge quantity of timber drifted ashore, along the west coast of the 1Jebrides, which is immediately taken possession of fbr the Deputy Admiral; as it is so lightly inscribed or marked, that the proper owners cannot be ascertained: it would, therefore, be necessary fbr the interest ot all concerned, to adopt some simple method of branding each log with the shipper, and ship's name, which would not be so readily defaced. The quantity found in this district for the last two winters has been very con. siderable." PROPERTY 1N .SfIP TIMBER.
