A Halifax despatch, dated last week, says,: The barque Templar, of Yarmouth, Captain Samuel B. Robbins, arrived at Shelburne teday froth Dublha, bringing the crew of the Norwegian barque Uranus, which had been abandoned at sea, and set on fire. Captain Robbins reports haying sighted the Uranus in lat. 44.10 north, long. 41.50 west, and perceiving her fiyiug a sigma of distress, and alsoone denoting that she had no boats, at once bore down to do his utmost to save the mew. On getting near enough information was passed that the barque was sinking and the men on board wished to abandon her. A terri- ble gale was blowing at the time, and those. who would attempt' a rescue in the awful see that was miming must expect to run A terrible risk. Brave meu were not *exiting, however, for • five a the Templar's orew, including Thompson, the second mate, . stepped forward aric1-1 yolonteered: to 'make the venture. A moment later the boat wail lotvered over the side, the five got in, and the journey to the sinking Uranus began.

Some. times, so long would they remain item view in the trough of the sea, it was thought they had dissappeared forever'but at last, after a full hour's • hard work, the disabled vessel was reached and ropes were flung to those onboard, The boat could not, get near enough. for the mento drop in, and singly,. with • ropes. tied' seourely around them, they jumped into the water and were speedily (bagged en board. When half the number hadbeen taken Off in this way the, boat returned with -them to the Templar,.*where the same, meats which had been employed te get them from the sinking ship were tecessary to land thew in safety on the other. The secoud trip of the five heroes'. Was much more dangerous thap the first. The gale, which had been all the time More'asing, now blew with terrible fury, but they never wavered, and at the end of four hours had the whole of the crew of the Ifranint out of their perilous position and Safely deposited on board the Templar. The captain and mate of the wrecked barque had ,beeo crippled in the hands and feet, before their ship Was fallen in with; by. the exertions they had been put to pumping and bailing to keep there from going to the bottom oLthe sea.On the morusug following, when the gale bed •moderated eoinewhat, it was found thattlie' Crawls was still in sight, and she was boarded, and what stores retindued, With the nautical iustruthente and the clothing and effects of her seamen; were transferred to the other.
