THE SHIPWRECK. >aoll WILSON'S ISLI OF PALMS. Oh ! many a dream was in the ship ..An hour before her death; And sights of home with sighs distarb"d The sleepers long-drawn breath. Instead of the murmur of the sea The sailor beard the bumming tree, Alive through all its leaves, The htim of the speading sycamore That grows before his cottage door, and the swallow's song in the caves! His arms enclosed a.blooming boy, Who listen'd with tears of sorrow and joy To Ilse dangers his father had pased ; And his wife—by turns she wept and smiled, As she look'd on the father of her child Return'd to her heart at last ! —He wakes at the vessel's sudden roll, And the rush of waters is in his soul. Astounded, the reeling deck he paces, And hurrying forms and ghastly faces ; The whole ship's crew are there. Wailing's around and overhead, Brave spirits stupefied or dead, And madness and despair ! Leave not the wreck, thou cruel boat, While yet 'tis thine to save, And Angel-hands will bid thee boat Uninjured o'er the wave, Tough whirlpools yawn across thy way, And storms, impatient for their prey, Around thee fiercely rase! Vain all the prayers of pleading eyes, Of outcry loud, and humble sighs, Hands clasp d, or wildly toss'd on high, Despair and resignation vain! Away, like a strong-wing'd bird she Ales, That heeds not human miseries, And far off in the sunshine dies Like a wave of the restless main. How quiet the once noisy crowd ! The sails now serve them for a shroud, And the sea-cave is their tomb. And where is that loveliest being gone? 'lope not that she is saved alone, Immortal though such beauty seem'd to be! She, and the Youth that loved her too, Went down with the ship and her gallant crew— No favciurites bath the sea! EFFECTS OF THE LATE GALES, &c. YARMOUTH, Ocr. 23.—Wednesday night, a large brig (name unknown) supposed to be a collier, drove upon Carton Sand, about four miles to the southward of this place, during a hear y gale from the N. and N.N.E. At day-light in the morning, seven of her crew were observed in the main-top, but it could not be ascertained what number there were altogether on board. About nine o'clock she fell over on her beam-ends, when the poor fellows appeared to lash themselves to the shrouds, but they shortly afterwards totally disappeared ; it is therefore concluded the whole of them met a watery grave. The Lo...estoft life-boat put off to their assist ance, but through some mismanagement, it was nearly twelve o'clock befcre they reached the vessel, when not a person could be seen on the wreck. An express arrived here this morning, with the information of the vessel being on the sand, but unfortunately our life-boat was not ready for sea, which is much to be regretted, as she might probably have saved the valuable lives of those unfortunate men. A long-boat has been washed on shore at Cotton, which is supposed to belong to the above brig ; the name .6 John Leaig," appears on her quarter, but has been painted over. The gale conti nued the whole of Thursday and Friday, causing a number of vessels in our Roads to part from their an chors and run to the southward. Thursday afternoon, we had much thunder and lightning, accompanied with hail, %%hid) was fortunately but of short duration, being whilst it lasted most awful and terrific. The mast of a Humber keel, at anchor in our Roads, was struck by the lightning. which it shivered to pieces, without in juring the crew, who were all on deck at the rime. The following shipwrecks, &e. have been posted at Lloyd's : The Active, Gear, has been abandoned at 03v15 s Straits. The Lady Owen, Wn.uasts,from Youghal to Portsmouth, was driven on shore near Bideford on Thursday, and it was feared would be totally lost. The Meziah. Swan. from Brackstadt to Hell, is wrecked on the Lineoln•htre coast. The Mars, BAUMAN*, from Quebec to Hull, was driven on shore near Tetney.h.ven on Friday, but was expected to be get off. The Liberty, ANceavz, from Boston. to Lembo:, was driven on shore near Cromer on Friday. The Peggy, Bur., of Whitby, was wrecked near Lynn on Friday. The Rip. atone, Hull trader, was driven on shore near Scarborough on Fri day. The Anacreon, Jonas, of Cardigan, bound to Cork, was so shore and bilged near Fishittard on Friday. The Good Intent, Oars, from Plymouth to Penzance, was capsized during a heavy squall, on the 20th inst. o ff the faro Head: a woman, her child, and a boy, drowned. A Humber keel, laden with deals and tar, supposed to be the Haphazard, upset in Lynn Roads the 10th inst. and sunk : crew drowned. The Amphitrite, Visu,atrived at Har wich yesterday. from Memel, parted with the Henry and Elizabeth, of lilakeney, Urania. of Hull, and Blossom, of Lynn, on the 18th inst. off the coast of Norway, just before the gale. The Majestic. PA ATZN, from Yarmouth to the Baltic, ran on shore near Hoge mess on the II th inst. but is expected to be got off. The Briton, Davis, from Guernsey to Dainzic, was driven on shore near that port on the 11th, and it was feared would not be got off. The Ceres, hunch , from Larne to Riga, ran on shore there on the Swin-bottoms on the 11th inst. but got off, and went to Copenhagen to repair. The Salisbury. SCOTT, from Liverpool to Petersburgh, was driven on shore on the 3d inst. on Gothland, and bilged. The Caledonia, Parstaose, from Wick to Dublin, was driven on shore near With, but has since been got off, and arrived at Wick. The Lily, LAtiu, front London to Hull, has put into Yarmouth die. nia%ted. haying been struck by lightning. The Flora Scoorree, from Alemti, has put into Elsinore having been on the Lapsatid.

STEAM VESSELS. The recent melancholy catastrophe in the Clyde, and the detruction to human life occasioned thereby, na turally suggests the question—ls there no possibility ( f preventing such sudden and calamitous accidents? With a view to this, we would recommend to public atten tion an account of an invention by Messrs. James and Charles Carmichael, of Dundee, for regulating the movements of steam vessels, and which has been for some time used on board the George IV. twin steam boat, on the Dundee and Fife ferry. It is communi cated to the Ildinourgh Philosophical Journal, by Captain Basil Hall, R.N. and published in the number for July last. The description of the machinery could not be clearly understood wi;hont the accompanying plate, but the object and uses of the invention are thus shortly stated : By the simple motion of a small handle, or index, placed on a table, upon deck, in view and in heating of the man at the helm, and of the master of the vessel, every movement which the engine is capable of giving to the paddle-wheel may be at once commanded. The vessel may be moved forwards or backwards—or may be re tarded, or entirely stopped, at any given moment, by merely turning the handle to the places denoted by the graduations of a dial-plate. No skill is required for this purpose, so that the master himself, or a sailor under his directions, can perform the office as Well as the ablest engineer. Titus the confusion which frequently arises at night in calling out to the engineer below, is avoided, and any am biguity arising from the word of command being transmitted through several persons entirely prevented. In point of fact, it places the engine as much under command as the rudder is—an undoubted improvement upon the clumsy method of bawling out to the engineer below, who either may not bear, or may chance to be out of the way—circumstances which may lead to the most serious accidents. DAVIS'S STRAITS WHALE FiblIER Y. FROM THE ABERDEEN CHRON ICLE. Monday, the Bon Accord, Parker, arrived here from Davis's Straits, with five fish, 85 tuns of oil. Captain Parker, we regret to state, brings such accounts of the 'situation of the ship Active, Gray, of Pete:head, as to lead to the most serious apprehensions for her safety. The ship, it appears, had gone into a bay or inlet, either that of Exeter Sound, lat. 66 deg. 30 min. N. long 61. deg. 15 m. W. or an inlet at Cape Walsingham, lat. 66 deg. N. long 60 deg. 50 min. W. where owing to a gale from the South Eastward, a body of ice had grounded on the bar or entrance, and had afterwards accumulated in such masses, and to such extent, as by calculation to run 11 miles without her, to seaward. The crew, in this alarming crisis, had left the ship, and gone on board other vessels, with the exception of eight or ten men, who had consented to remain with Captain Gray during the winter. But they were dissuaded from this hazardous undertaking by Captain Humphray, of the Isabella, of Hull, to whom they had applied for a supply of provisions, and who gives the above parti culars. In the meantime the Resolution and Traveller, of Peterhead, had agreed to remain ten or fourteen days, until they saw if by any change of the weather there might be a prospect of the Active getting de ir ; failing which, they were to bring off the remaining part of the crew, and leave the vessel. The Active had got seven fish, and rode at anchor within the barrier of ice, which had been formed as above stated. On Wednes day evening it came to blow a heavy gale from the northward, which afterwards increased, and con tinned with extreme violence during next day, and the night following. Thursday morning, two whale fishing ships, sup posed the Le:WA, Clark, and Middleton, Cargill, of this place, were seen off this (Aberdeen) Bay, but were obliged to run to the southward, and in the course of the forenoon, six or seven square-rigged vessels ap peared, endeavouring to keep to windward, but they were the following night driven by the fury of the storm to the southward; some of them were supposed to be Davis's Straits whale fishing ships, belonging to Peterhead, and one of them which appeared to have a poop, was believed to be the Traveller, so that the late of the Active must soon be known. One brig, by signal, was known to be the Tarcy, Jaffray, of Aber deen, from Pictou. Captain Macintosh, of the Ingria, of Hull, when at the whale fishery this season, landed on the east coast of D oils's Straits, near Wilcox Point, lat. 74 deg. 10 min. N. long 57 deg. 15 min. W. that he might get to some high point of the land, front which to view Melville Bay, in order to discover it there was any passage through the ice to the northward. After landing he was attracted by the appearance of one of the huts of the Es quimaux, and on entering it found, sh ith horror and surprise, the bodies of 22 of the natives, who appeared to have perished in the course of the winter, some of them being in a state of putridity. They had their fishing and hunting ap paratus near them, and among the latter were three ifle fowling-pieces, which were of course brought away. It was remarked on the Coronation of the Empress of AUSTRIA, as Queen of HUNGARY, that there had been ten kinfs and five Queer.s crowned at Presburg since 1.563. rhe last Coronation t ok place on the 7th of September, 1808, when the ceremony was per formed for the Empress MAMA-LOUISA, the third wife of his present Mitassry. S!:e died ire 1816. The new law fur regulating British weights and MCP I sures comes into operation on the Ist of January. Yew trees, formerly so common in Church-yards, were, in 1483, ordered to be planted in those places for the making of bows used in archer}'. Extract of a letter front Durham, dated October 24: " A circumstance occurred yesterday at the Cathedral perfectly novel and unprecedented here, and which has made no little sensation. Immediately after the com munion service in the morning was over, and before the sermon, one of the Minor Canons read a legal docu asent of great length, but in so low and indistinct a tone as to be inaudible, or nearly so, to the congregation. It was, however, soon ascertained to be a writ of teques tration, by virtue cf which all the property and future incame of Dr. John Hall becomes vested in his credi tors for the sum of 35,8001. Toe Dean himself was present, and compelled to listen to the whole. It is under teod that the principal creditor is a banker and a resident of Oxford. Dr. Hall WAS raised to the dignity of Dean of Durham on the vacancy occasioned by the elevation of Di. Burgess to the See of Salisbury, a few months ago. The present Dean is said to have received no less than 10,0001. at one windfall since his appointment." From the Agent to Lloyd's at Dover, dated October 2.5:—" The cargo of the Baron of Renfrew lays scattered on the coast, between Calais and Dunkirk. A great deal is secured, and much more will be saved, and taken above high water mark, If the weather remains moderate."

(Literary (aunt) CHILI. Extract of a letter, received at Providence, dated San ttago, Chili, June 1, 1825 "As respects news, all I have to communicate is, that the Congress of this country, which has been in Session for the la t eix months, was dissolved on the 17th ult. by the Ext cirtivv, at the peti tion of about two-thirds of the Menibers. They had made several attempts to come to a resolurtio•t among themselves to dissolve, but these proved ifretizarral, owiag to the clamour of the mob collected on the Cior of the house, and in the adjacent streets, and even of the Members of the Sovereign Body. It may he said, th it they have done nothing of a publi: natur e, in the six months during which they have been sitting. The Bill of Rights WAS left unfinaed, after the passage of some fifteen or twenty of its many at tides, so that the funds• mental law of Chili presents a curious and heterogeneous' specimen of political and legal patchwork Font). nately, the liberty de facto, enjoyed by her citizens, is as great (that is, political liberty), a; could be wished, and not likely to be infringed by the present Di re:tor, whose total want of ambition and mild sway has rendered him de,ervedly popular ; this circum stance renders less frightful the absence of that liberty de jure which the 11 11 of Rights was calculated to de. fine am! secure. The direct co,ttribution was also left in the ink-horn, after having undergone more discus sion than our new Tariff Bill; in the meantime there is not a dollar in the national money box, and the finan cial department is in the utmost disorder, so muc't so, that it Is is been found impossible to procure a person of adequate tal•nts and sufficient respectability, who would accept of the heretofore desirable and respectable place of Minis:et of the Treasury. It has been offered within these few days to several of my friends, who have utterly refused it, notwithstanding the urgent solicitations of the Director himself, and backed by many friends, that they would accept, and this, al- though the salary annexed to it is quite respectable.— Notwithstanding all these clogs upon her progress, Ch li is making, if not rapid, at least visible and grati. Eying advances towards permanent political and reli gious liberty and right government. Chili is about to adopt the federative system. Each of the three Pro vinces of Coquimbo, Santiago, and Conception, to have its Provincial Legislature for the exclusive manage. ment of the Provincial and Municipal Affairs, with a National Congress to meet at the capital, for the dis cussion r.f national matters. Coquimbo and Concep tion have already organized their assembly, and that of Santiago is to convene about the 20th of this month. The object of their present meeting is to appoint two Commissioners from each Province, with full powers conjointly to fix the Law of Election for the National Congress, &c. which Congress will determine the nature and conditions of the Confederation. The adoption of this system will put an end to the sectional jealousies which have heretofore existed among the Provinces, and by giving to each the privilege of managing its own affairs, insure greater regard to local interests." POLICE I NI'ELL.IG E.N CE. MANSION-HOUSE. Timothy Gigots, who was charged with robbing his master, Mr. Carter, of Bartholomew-lane, ship•broker, was brought up far a second e, antinrtion. After the evidence bad been read, the pri soner said that prosecutor had promised, if be told everything that bad taken place, that he should not be brought to trial. Two or thrie of his friends said the same thing. _ _ Mr. Carter contradicted the* statements, and said; that for the purpose of ascertaining whether a young Mill who had been in his employment was guilty of robbing him, be said to the prisoner, " If you will tell all that has been done by you, it will not be used against you." The prisoner, however, told • parcel of falsehoods, but when he found that he was to be prosecuted, he admitted bar ing himself committed the robbery for which his fellow-servant had been discharged. The LORD MAYOR said the case had been sufficiently supported by testimony before the acknowledgment was made, and com mitted the ps boner fur trial. GUILDHALL. A watchmaker who has kept a shop in a leading thoroughfare for above 40 years, was charged with assaulting one Matthew Halt. The short facts are, that the watchmaker had dishonoured a bill of exchange for 181. and the holder sent a man into his shop, who bargained for a watch and chain of the value of 191. and having put them in his pocket, laid down in payment the overdue bill, ar.d a sovereign. The shopkeeper refused to take them as pay ment, and Holt refusing to pay him in any other way, the former prevented his leaving the shop, and took the watch out of his waist coat pocket against his consent.—This was the assault. The watch maker now urged that he had at first suspected Holt had come improperly by the bill; that it was inconvenient to him to pay the amount; and that an overdue bill was not a negociable article, and therefore not likely to be boon fide in Ilolt's possession. Mr. Alderman LUCAS declined giving any decision, and left the complainant to prefer his bill to the Grand Jury. There was a difficulty, because if Holt was not in blot file possession of the bill, it might not in his hands be a legal tender, aud the violence used in regaining the watch, would than not be au assault. BOW-STREET. Yesterday morning, a tall, middle-aged Gentleman, having much the air and Jpprarauce of an Officer in the Army, and carrying his right arm in a sling, presented himself before the Magistrate, to whom it seemed he had previously addressed a letter. His object, be said, was to inquire of his Worship whether be should be justi fied in cat rying arms about his person, in order to protect himself from an arrest, to which he considered himself exposed ? Some persons, he added, declared that he was insane and expressed a determination to have him confined. His application. however,' he considered, would sufficiently prove his sanity, and be was de termined to resist any attempt which might be made to deprive him of his freedom. His Worship, who seemed to consider the proof he adduced of the soundness of his intellects as at least problematical, informed him that be certainly was not justified in arming himself for any such purpose; he even doubted whether it was not Isis own daty to detain him. This remark apparently roused the indignation of the applicant, who expressed, in very angry language, his dissatisfaction at the evident doubt the worthy Magistrate seemed to entertain of his sanity, vehemently demanding whether be was at liberty to depart? On being answered in the affirmative, he left the office.— His Worship afterwards seemed almost to regret that be had not detained him, fearing some mischief might ensue from his being at liberty in so unsettled a state of mind. MARLBOAOUGH•STREET. An Trish bricklayer, named Leary, accompanied by bis wife, a good-looking young woman, came before the Magistrate for the purpose of obtaining warrant to apprehend a fellow-countryman, wh, had obtruded himself into his ( Leary's) bed. It appears that Leary is the occupier of a large room, in which he accommodates , a number of his countrymen, and one of them having come home intoxicated, he got into Leary's bed, and was !yin& quietly beside Leary's wife, when Leary awoke and turned him out of the bed. He now wished to know if he could not punish the man fur corn. slatting the assault upon his wife? Mrs. Leary declared that she was asleep when the man came into her bed, and that he might have assaulted her, but she was ignorant of it. The Maatvraava told the applicant to go to the Sessions, but Leary said he would thump the man's bead when he met with him. With respect to his wife, he was satisfied she was not criminal. QUEEN.SQUARE. The Gentleman named Christopher Dickenson, who has been some time in custody on the charge of Waking up seditious placards against the walls of the Treasury and other public offices, tending to bring his Majesty and the Government into disrepute, was again brought up yesterday. Sir R. Bums attended on the occasion, and Mr. Nethersole, the Solicitor. Mr. Dickenson was brought up from Tothill-fields Prison, b y Pople, the turnkey, and was conducted into the Just ce-room, Jean, but of ee,. ! private ; but we anderstand the depositions th at were tales 1 where he remained for some time.

Mr.Adauk in examining the accounts, discovered that the prisoner had reeei ue d several sums of money, which were never accounted ter, or brave into the books. Magistrates, told the witne sl that it one necessaryhe of th ing f p o r r es h i i d mto state some particidarpayn.,,,, for which the prisoner had not accounted, to prove the charg e . Mr. Sellers said, that on one occasion the primmer had rtcere e d sum of ten guineas from Mr. Woods, of Drummond-street, it was in payment of some gas, but it was never entered in* books or accounted for. Mr. Adams spoke to the prisoner aboutit, and he admitted that he had not brought it to account. Mr. Richard Gude, Secretary to the Company, stated dot tk , prisoner was chief clerk in the establi•hment, and had atehori ty to receive and pay money, some of which he (witness) believed ttut the prisoner had embezzled and applied to his own use, Mt. G i g ( concluded by requesting the 111:gistrate to grant him some nitre time to make further inquiries on the subject, as the Company Tree determined to prosecute. The prisoner, who appeared to he recovering from sever,. 'n;lis. position, when called on for his defence, said .hat he had kern i n , very bad state of health since Christmas. He had some comtrea. tion with Mr. Adams on Tuesday night, and he s:id that be rt . quired more time before he would give him (the prisoner)an en ct account of the supposed defalcations. (Here the prisoner hank a written paper to the Magistrate, and requested him to red the coo, tents). lie said that he thought it better, in consequence o!his health, to write down what he had to say in his justification. Mr. Waters, after perusing the above document, told the prisons? that he hoped that the contents were true. and that he wou'alt s able to prove himself innocent of wilful mistakes. The prisoner said that he hoped the Magistrates wri,ld illtoseta i to put in bail for his appearance. as he had a large fancily , and would be a great inconvenience to him to be separated from them. Mr. WIJITZ said that it was out of his power to accede s his request. —He was then remanded until Wednesday tux fq further examination. • NATION-GARDEN. Mary Trghe, a smartly dressed girl, was brought up in the custody of Cooper, a constable of St. PAncras, charged by Mr. Oyston, Fro. prietor of the Freemasons Arms, Suff.lk -street, with hiving rob. bed him of thirty-three sovereigns.—She was fully committtd.
