Ccr- lireton, New Drunsw.ek aud Pnnes Edward Island. Four vtssels were driven ashore, another, alter having everything movable on deck washed iway, was forced to put back to the port from which she sailed, and the iteamcr Turret Bell, which went iground on the north side of Prince Kdawrd Island last week, was driven farther in shore.
