A gentleman who arrived on Saturday from Barrington, N.S. informs us of the following particulars: The brig "Sarah Lovett" of and from St. Stephen, John W. ABBOTT, Master sailed from L'Etang (Charlotte Co.) on 4th Dec. and when three days out was capsized in a heavy gale of wind from N; cut deck load fastenings and topmast rigging, when she righted with lower mast standing and water-logged; Capt. ABBOTT perished same day. The crew succeeded in getting a barrel of bread, damaged with salt water from below which, with some ice and snow found about the deck afforded their only sustenance during the time they remained on the wreck. On the 13th day after the diasaster, two of the crew died and on the 15th day (or 22nd of the month) the mate perished in which day the wreck was happily fallen in with by the Brig "Ann", Capt. TODD, of Shelburne and the two survivors, Thomas CUTLER of Stephen and John B. LAWRENCE, Philadelphia were taken on board in an almost exhausted condition and landed in a day or two after at Barrington. -Yarmouth Herald
