The Margaret, capt. Fisher, was from Quebec bound for Jamaica; she was wrecked on the N.W. bar: - nine passengers viz, Mrs. Anderson; Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, 6 children and four of the crew, including the carpenter and cook, unfortunately perished. The Joanna was bound from St. John N.B. for Newfoundland - the crew, after auffering the most severe hardships, happily reached the shore; but both vessels were totally lost.
