Extract
of a letter from Orkney, Sept 10. Yesterday sailed from Stormness, the
ship Marlborough, of Whitby, Captain Preswick, for Savannah, La Marr,
in Georgia, with about 80 emigrants on board, 25 of whom embarked at
Whitby, and the remaining 55 are all from Orkney. This is the first
ship that has purposely stopped here for emigrants since emigration
begun to be frequent in Britain. Though this colony is not only looked
upon to be the most favourable climate, yet the spirit of emigration
prevails so much among us at present, that Mr Jonas Brown, the owner of
the ship, would have got three times the number, had he occasion for
them. This prevailing spirit surely merits the attention of the
legislature.

On
wednesday last, Mr Christopher Preswick of Whitby, a Gentleman whose
excellent qualities eminently endeared him to a numerous circle of
friends and acquaintance. He lost his life in the humane attempt to
rescue from drowning a person whom he observed borne away by a current
formed by the outset of the tide round a bank, into which he had been
inadvertently drawn in the exercise of bathing. In the effort used by
both parties on this occasion, Mr P. was borne off his feet into the
current, and both unfortunately perished before assistance could reach
them. The name of the other unfortunate sufferer was Paul Stott, of
Kirby, late of Whitby, brazier. -- The loss of an individual of the
humane and enterprising spirit of Mr Preswick, will be severely felt
and deeply regretted at Whitby, the place of his nativity and
residence.
