The preventive boat immediately went, and I hope was suceeetful ; it has not yeti eturned. It is reported that ten men are drowned ; one man only got safe on shore." It is reported that a letter has been received in town from Beaumaris, stating that 30 persons have been saved from the Diamond. PROSLCUIION OF THE RE V. SIR HARCOURT' L.EES, BART. FROM THE DUBLIN SIORNiNO POST. The proprietors of the Antidote Newspaper have been applied to by the Crown Solicitor, to give up the ma nuscript of a letter, signed " Harcourt Lees, which ap peased in that publication some days ago, in order that the author might be prosecuted. In case of the manu script not being given up, it was stated that the pub. fishers should be prosecuted. This proceeding it WA which gave rise to the report in tirculation,o Sir ll4E court himself being to be prosecuted;. which tepoit having teached the ears of the Rev. Grand Otange Chaplain, he wrote to the Crown Solicitor to know how the fact stood ? The Crown Solicitor milted, stating the steps that had been taken for the obtaining of the maniisclier, and asking the Rev. Baronet if he was pre pared to avow himself the author, and meet the conse quences? The Rev. Grand Chaplain, in .eply to the Crown Solicitor, avowed'himsell the author of the letter in question; he had no objection to the manuscript being given up; and he defied the whole of his Ma jesty's Counsel at Law to decipher two lines of it ! We give these particulars on the authority of the Reverend and Worthy Baronet himself, and we can bear testimony to the fact, that not even one line of his manuscript can be deciphered, unles he attends in pet son to read it for the Crown Solicitor. Such of his manuscripts as we have published in the Morning Post, he has read him self to vur Printer, to make them intelligible. Saturday, his Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT of! IRRI.AND entertained a numerous but select p lily at dinner, at the Vice.regal Lodge, in the Plicenix Park, Dublin. This was a state dinner, and was given in honour of her Grace the Duchess of 'twos:mi.

JOLLY TARS.—When the " Golden" Hertnione, in the seven years' war, took the Spanish galleon, or gal loon, as the sailors call her, the foremast-men shared to the tune of 5001. a-piece, a sum which of course they concluded could never be ezpeaded in the -com mon routine of domestic life. In older to conquer this difficulty, they devised many ingenious methods, such as filling a frying-pan with watches from each fob, and frying them over the galley-fire; subscribing a sum or money to gild the ship 's head, and carved la ork ; and it was. moreover unanimously resolved, that every man on board should wear a gold-laced hat, and every cocoa-nut was with all convenient speed provided with a gold-laced cocked hat, save one—this unhappy %tight presented himself to his shipmates with a silver-laced hat. This would not do; the ship was disgraced by such d—d stinginess—it Let's ask the First Lee tenant not to let him come on board." The supposed culprit begged a hearing—Jack hives fair play ; si lence was obtained, and the delinquent thus pleaded his cause There was'nl a goold laced hat in the town, so I was forced to take this here; but I made the fellow take the money for a goold-lacer all the same." On these last words reaching the ears of his comrades, he was received on board with a universal greeting and acclamation.

New Scorn Wat.es.—The Phosnix, White, in working up the harbour in charge of the pilot, grounded on the rocks, but was got off with some damage. James Abernethy, the famous beggar, is now laid up for lite in an hospital. He was born in Edinburgh, in March, 1722, and was bred a cork cutter, which occu pation he left at the age of eighteen, and entered the service of his country. He served abroad in a cavalry Regiment (it i* thought the Oxford Blues) and was en gaged, in the twenty. third year of his age, at the famous battle of Fontenoy, and very likely is the drily person alive who fought on that memorable day. James gave a very imrerfect account of this battle, having been too particularly engaged to makegeneral observations. On his Regiment taking their station in the morning, and when he had a view of the combined army and of the French, he said that he had no idea the world could have afforded such numbers. He does snot deny that he was afraid at first, but fear soon gave way. He was several, times unhorsed in the Brulziement ; and found to his sarptise, next morning, his horse was black, having en:ered the field on a grey one. The next most memorable event in James's military life, was being on duty at the wedding of his late MAJESTY, and`he was fonder of dwelling on this than of Fontenoy. He re ceived his discharge shortly after this, and coming to his native place, wrought some time at the quarry at ICruigleith, where he met with the accident that inglo riously lamed him. Having no pension, and being dis abled for work, he took to beggary, and till within these two years, has been a regular traveller in Clydes dale and Ayrshire. He was in ,business nearly fifty years, and during that time, it was calculated that he had, on an average, drank a gallon of whiskey every week, thus having consumed 1,100 gallons of the pre cious stuff. James could scarcely be called a wit, although he had many stories and querks that passed for wit in the country. Soon after the accession of the late Earl of EGLINGTON, he one day met James going into the house, and ordered him to turn. James, as.his custom was, on receiving a repulse, was extremely rude, and his Lordship threatened to have him taken as a vagrant, if ever he again entered thi policies. James, on going out, met with another of the order, whom he endeavoured to persuade to return, as his visit to the castle would be unproductive. His brother, owever, passed on, saying he knew the right side of tle Earl. James, in his next journey, again approached the noble residence, and again met its owner, who en raged at the presumption of the gaberlunzie, was not very nice in the choice of the epithets he bestowed on hint. James never spoke, but made a circle around the Earl, eyeing him most attentively. His Lordship, alarmed at this strange conduct, demanded the cause_ of it? " Vary," said James, le I ILA been told that your Lordship has a right and a wrong side, but I con fess I see no difference.' His Lordship, on hearing this, laughed, and told James that he would give orders he should have sonivtiung to eat—" and to drink," said James, " ay, and to drink !" James was quar tered, some years ago, in a farm-house, near Stratha yen. For a considerable time _before, this farmer's cows had been unbOund every night in a mysterious manner. This made a great noise, and attracted public attention ; but when Abernethy slept in the cow-shed, the cows were all found fast bound in the morning. Lac-1 terly, James had to be carried from house to house in. a cart, when he began to save money, as he could not their get calling at the ale house,--,-Edargotu Journal. - r.. , • • blttiltY-LkNffiffi r ifiit.

It is unnecessary to enter into the plot of Oil. play.— Every Lady is acquainted with it, either in the original, or in its more popular though certainly less meritorious derivative, the Fair Penitent. A great deal of what is only narrative and retrospect in ROWE—the refusal of but t d to the dead Marshal by his creditors—the sitting of the Coart—tl , e filial devotion of the son. who yields up his own pet so:r to release the remains of his father, and obtain them the honours of interment (the star y of gynion and Milliades under other names) all this pasaes before the eyes of she audience in The Fetal Doter., and is by no means the least affecting part of the tra gedy. Situations of great force and auth—scenes finely wrought, and •:.sear ing a strong impress of the realities of life, succeed each other naturally, though rather loosely connected'. It is, in fact, a succession of drama tic pictures, poweifully touched, and with singular fi delity to nature, and there is less of the rambling im probability of ineiient, which renders the plays of this period unfit for the stage, than in most of the cider dramas. The catastrophe is coruiderably changed, There is an infinite deal ,of dramatic art and deep pathos, in the manner of b inging before the father the death of Beaumelle. The pet formauce rested almost wholly on the shoulders of Mr. MACREADY, and he did the utmost for it. In the scene where he s:uprises and counsels Beaumelle, in that of his quarrel with Charalois, and especially in the scene where he unplumes the gal lant, and leaves him an object of contempt and ridicule, he exhibited great power, and every variety of acting, and was applauded to the echo. Messls. TERRY, WAL-. LACK, and PENLEY sustained their 'parts well. The lamentation of the first in the fifth act should be consi derably retrenched. The great want is that of a female character. Evert Beaurnelle is nothing. It is true that if more had been retained, she would only have been more odious. This piece has, u e have heard, been adapted and got up by Mr. MACREADY. The alter ations appeared—as might be expected—judicious, and failed to be effective only in the fifth act. The Fatal Dowry has always been considered the chef Arum of Mssanicrzw, and possesses a deeper interest, and contains more highly wrought poetical passages than any of the author's other dramas.

THE SPIRE OP ST. BRIDE'S, FLEZT•STREET.—At the Meeting respecting throwing open this exquisite chef cfccuvre of the Spires of Sir Christopher Wren to the public view, of which we gave an account m the:Evart of yesterday, a drawing of the elevation of (be pro posed alteration was shewn in the room. By that it ap pears that the corners are proposed to be rounded off, and the buildings at the angle to be ornamented by a style of pilasters of the composite .order, projtcting from the main buildings a row of shops on either si4e is to lead down towards the Church, as far as a plain arch, which it is proposed to throw across the new ave nue, to correspond with the-lower architecture of the . Church. The design, on the whole, is sufficiently simple, not to vitiate the taste before it arrives at its fair crite rion, the steeple ; and with ;he exception of the capi tals of the p pilasters, which are too poor and spit it!ess to bear any approach to the design of Sir Christopher Wren, the whole is well enough for its purpd..e.
