ERRATUM--In our last paper, we stated that no lives had been lost on board the Macedonian during the late disastrous gale which forced her to put into Norfolk. This was incorrect. "In the early part of it, William Wilkins, captain of the mizen top, an excellent seaman and a worthy young man, was unfortunately knocked overboard by the mizen stay sail sheet, and drowned. This was the only casualty that occurred among the crew." The Macedonian had sailed from Boston on the 10th of September, bound for the Pacific ocean, and completely equipped for a two years' cruise.
