A very amiable young lady named Prosser, who was brought up a dissenter from the Church of Eng land, having attended for a considerable time at St. Martin's church, wider the Ministry of the Rev. Dr. Richards, was anxious to be come a communicant with this Church; but not having been christened, it was necessary she should previously undergo that ce remony. She, however, objected to the form of christening, via. —throwing or sprinkling water on the face, as contrary to the lan guage of the Gospel as well as to the formula in the prayer.book, the former of which says, speaking of adults who were baptised by the Apostle, and they st raightway went down into the water, and were baptized." Ste. and • tb,latter, speaking of infants, says, " and they shall warily dip them ; " tbc. She, therefore, applied to Dr. Richards, to be allowed at her christening that the ceremony might he performed according to what she conceived was the literal Scriptural meaning of the words of the Apostle—by submersion.— The Doctor, at first, said It was quite impoodble, and attempted to convince the lady, by argument, that sprinkling was equally Mea dow. The Doctor's argument only went to convince her that if baptism was good for anything at all, it was essential that the form adopted by the SAVIOUR and the Apostles should be strictly ad hered to. In this dilemma it was suggested that upon an applica tion being made to the Bishop of London, be might grant a dispen sation to have the ceremony performed in the manner the lady de sired it—by dipping. The application was made, and it was granted. Last Tuesday was appointed for the ceremony. to take place, and about mid-day a large oblong wooden tub was placed close to the baptismal font, in St. Martin's Church, and the lady made her ap pearance suitably attired with woollen under clothing. It was a bitter cold day, but the lady was nothing daunted, and the Doctor .• warily dipped her" ever head and ears, after reading an appro priate service. The lady afterwards retired to the vestry with her female friends, and having exchanged her wet apparel for dry clothes, returned home to her family in Charing-cross, where the health of the new Christian was drunk with due hono ur.. The only instance of baptism by immersion having taken place in one of our Churches before, occurred at Leicester, and with the consent of the Bishop of the diocese. SHIPWRECK ON THE COAST OF ESSEX, AND LOSS OF LIFE. From the Essex Mercury. A wreck of the most distressing nature happened on the Gun fleet Sand off this coast during the late heavy gales. A brig, called the Craig Electric, of Leith, with a crew of seven men, left Belfast on or about the with day of November last, laden with a cargo of provisions, bound to the port of Londe*, the wind at S.S. W. fine weather. Soon after it changed, when the brig was brought up in We Long Hope, and continued there for several days. At length the weather moderated, which induced the master to proceed on his passage ; and when off the Steeples, on the coast of Northum berland, be encountered a heavy gale at N.R. and lost part of his sails, bulwark. &c. On the night of the 224 of December the vessel was aback of Yarmouth Sands, under double-reefed topsails, wind blowing sums S.N.E. and thick with snow. At day-light next morniog, shook out reefs, and proceeded, and made the Sunk Light about four T.M. of the same day, with wind blowing heavy ; close-reefed the fore topsail and trysail, and double-reefed the main topsail, and hove the vessel to • at 6 Las. the tide making, the main-top was fi lled with her he ed to the Northward, and shortly after she came to the ground ; the sails were hove aback in hopes of getting her off again ; finding it of no use, filled on her in the hope of forcing her over, but all attempts were useless. Lights were hoisted in the ma in-rigging for assistance, and the pumps set to work, but the water gained oa them considerably. The crew fearing the vessel might fall on her broadside, determined on launching the boats, but in a few minutes after they bad made them fast alongside, they were dashed to plum; !mon after the sea began to make a breach over her in every direetienahat it became necessary for the crew to take to the rigging. Six of them took the larboard side, whilst the other took the starboad ; shortly after she fell on that side, with her sails la the water, which added greatly to the weight of them, and occasioned both masts and the bowsprit to break, and washing away the men on that side. The others were compelled for safety to held by the channels, and re mained in that position till eight o'clock on the following morning. It being nearly low water ' they were enabled to stand on part of the deck. At ten o'clock they took to the channels again, but find ing the water likely to reach them there, they , got on the tattle-mil, being the highest part of the wreck from the sea. At one o'clock the master breathed his last, and was coon washed overboard; shortly after one of the crew followed. and after him another, leav ing only three remaining. The mate lashed himself clothe rail, but died soon after from cold, hunger, and fatigue. The surviving two, who had witnessed the fate of their late shipmates, were greatly exhausted also, and soon expected to have shared the same Fite, as night was approaching fast, and the gale still continuing : luckily, however, the wreck was discovered by Robert Cleave, master of the smack New Union, of this port, at about three o'clock p.m. and be determined to approach as near as be could, in order to ascertain whether there were any lives on board • not being able with his vessel to get sufficiently near, he proceeded with two of his bands in his boat, at great risk, thr ough the break ers, and fancied, as be approached nearer, he could discern some person on board, and when at the distance of five hundred yards off, he could proceed no further with his boat; he then got on the sand, up to his waist in water, giving directions to his compa nions to remain in the boat till he should return ; as be ap proached, he could plainly perceive the head of some person on board, which made him still more anxious to get to the wreck. At length he succeeded in reaching within 50 yards of the spot, and calling loudly, the man on board looked towards him, when he sold him, to use his own words, "that be had come to save his blessed life," but that he could approach no nearer, and begged the man to throw a broken spar, or any thing he could get, into the sea, and east himself in after, and he would endeavour to pick him up ; the man on board made Mtn no answer, neither did be attempt to move from where he was standing. Cleave again repeated that if be did not do as he told him, he must leave him, and accordingly walked away, in hopes that he might induce him to do it ; finding he still stood there and motionless, he again went back, and urged him, but with no better success ; be then at tempted to get to the wreck, but found it impossible on account of the water ; after waiting a short time be determined on making the attempt should it cost him his life ; fortunately he succeeded : the first object he beheld in getting on board was one of the crew lying dead; further on *another lifeless; and beside him the man whom be bad seen in an exhausted state. No time was to be lost, as night was drawing near, and taking the man in his arms, he suc ceeded in carrying him from the wreck, and placed him on the sand while be went bath for the other, whom be wu so fortunate as to rescue from a watery.grave. They were both unable to walk ; he therefore was compelled to carry and drag them along through the water. and by great exertion and perseverance he reached his boat, and conveyed them on board his vessel, and pro ceeded to Wtvenhoe, where be arrived next morning. For the courage and intrepidity displayed by the crew, and more parti cularly by Robert Cleave, the master of the New Union, on this, as on former occasions, it is hoped they may meet with a suitable reward. The wreck went to pieces shortly after the men were rescued and no part of the cargo has been saved. The Custom-house 01 which cost the public 4564462 in erecting, Is oe the sth inst. to be abandoned by both Commissiooers of Excise and Customs, whose Boards will in that day be dissolved, and all the Revenue business relative to England, Ireland, and Scotland, be transferred to the Board in London, to whom the Collectors and Comptrollers are to report direct. From and after the sth inst. grocers will be required to keep an entry of their sales of teas—to be subject to the review of an Excise Meer. Grocers, also, from the same day, are to give six hours' notice to Excise Officers previously to bottling wines, end four hours' notice on reinov . hg wine from one bin to another. These regulations will impart an infinity of trouble to persons in the trade, who intend very properly to apply to Parlia ment for a modification or repeal of them. Long before day, on Wednesday morning, 200 men of the 76th Regiment, and a large party of Police, with Major-Gen Sir Edward Blakeney, Thomai P. Voices, Req. Major Carter.

Thomas Sksytk, who described himself as a deputy purveyor of the forces on half pay, clerk to a wine-merchant, and general dealer, was opposed by Mr. CSIUW11:11, on behalf of Messrs. Wil liam and James Sharp. The insolvent stated in his *assignation by Mr. Cassorma, that independent of Ms half-pay, he bad also a pension allowed him by Government. The whole amount of debts now on his schedule amounted to 18,7621. is. 6d. of which his own private debts were only 6211. and the remainder 18,1411. consisted of liabilities having put hie name to a number of bills to that amount, foe none of which he had ever received a shilling consideration. A great number of those bills he accepted for Mr. Plaskett, a wine mer chant, in Gracechurch-street, to , whom be was*rk, and the rest -- - - an he bad accepted for other persons, but they were , accommoda tion bills. He swore that he was merely a clerk to Mr. Plaskett, and not in any way connected with him by partnership. One of these accommodation bills for 1441. at two months, he accepted on the 20th of September, 1828, in Mr. Flaskett's office, and by him (Flaskett), paid to Messrs. Sharp the opposing creditors, for reeney which Flaskett owed them. Mr. James Sharp was in the dice when insolvent accepted it, and he consented to take it. and be was of opinion that Mr. Sharp knew he was only a clerk to Mr. Flaskett. • The Ouse Comma:ma said, however bad this system was, yet it seemed that Mr. Sharp took this bill with his eyes open. Commissioner Ilowatt—Yes, and he chooses to take the accept ance of a man of straw. Mr. Cesenratt begged the Court to hear what Mr. Sharp bad to say. The insolvent, to further questions, said that he never received a shilling for the .618,000 worth of bills. Mr. James Sharp, one of the opposing creditors, stated that Mr. Flaskett owed him and his brother £144. After repeated applica tions for the money, Mr. Flaskett asked the witness one day, when be called at the office in Gracechurch.street, if he would take a good bill? upon the witness answering in the affirmative he called the insolvent up stairs, and the bill was drawn by Fla skett, and accepted by the insolvent. When the bill became due, it was di.- honoured. The lower part of the house in which Mr. Flaskett's office was, was occupied as a patent ink-stand manufactory ; and, as the witness had frequently seen the insolvent in the shop, he supposed the concern to belong to him. The witness never, until this moment, heard of the insolvent being a clerk to Mr. Fl askett, or of his having accepted a number of accommodation bills ; if he had been aware of either of those facts, he certainly should not have taken the bill in question. Cross-examined by Mr. HiArst—Tbe name of Allison was over the shop-door, but always seeing the insolvent there, he supposed it to belong to him. • Mr. Canwact. submitted that the fact of the insolvent's having, without any property whatever, chosen to put his name to 38,0001. worth of bills, was a system which should be repressed, if this Court. could possibly accomplish it ; it was, perhaps, fortunate for him that no other bolder of these bills had come torward to oppose; but Messrs. Sharp bad done so, and the Learned Counsel thought a case of fraudulently contracting a debt without the means of pay ing it, had been established. Should the Court think otherwise, Mr. Creswell prayed that a portion of the insolvent's half-pay should be appropriated towards the gradual , liquidation of his de bt .. Mr. Hunt was about to address the Court on the behalf of the insolvent, when the Chief Commissioner told him that he might limit his observations to the application of the portion of the in solvent's half pay. The insolvent stated that his half-pay was Ss. a day, and be bad also a pension for wounds the latter was subject to variation, sad was now under revision. Mr. HIA2II then submitted that whatever the Court might order to be paid out of the half-pay, would benefit the creditors very little, for the debts were so large, that even if all the half-pay was appropriated to pay them off the dividend would scarcely be worth receiving. The Learned Counsel agreed in condemning the system of issuing accommodation bills to such an extent • but It was sot a little remarkable that only the hold e r of one of extent; bills had appeared to oppose. The Curer Counnsiousa said, that what sort of cases might have been disclosed, if the holders of other bills bad appeared to oppose the insolvent, was not for the Court to say, and therefore it would not be proper to act upon suspicion. The only case dis closed was respecting the bill held by Messrs. Sharp ; and the Court were of opinion that sufficient caution had not been used by those gentlemen previous to taking the bill. The Court, therefore, would not remand the insolvent at their suit, and they mast take the consequences of their own want of prudence. With respect to the half-pay, as the insolvent had thought fit to encumber himself so heavily with debts, he must for the future live more frugally, and deprive himself of a few luxuries. The COURT then ordered the insolvent to be discharged, and ap portioned sroo a-year out of his half-pay towards the liquidation of his debts. CORONER'S INQUEST. DEATH OF FOUR MEN AT THE SAILOR'S ASYLUM. On Monday night, an inquiry was instituted before J. W. Unernt, Esq. at the Ringlets public-house, Bluegate Melds, St. George's in the Rest, to ascertain the circumstances attendant on the deaths of George MThersoo, John Green, Jobs Store. and John Williams, fair distressed seamen, whose bodies were then lying in the Refuge fur the Destitute in that pule& Numerous rumours were in circulation as to the cause of their dissolution, arising from the strange ciressmusece of so many having expired at the same place; but thane' this circumstance was naturally calculated to excite great suspicion, yet, on the loves tigation, nothing transpired to.warrant the sensedelen that they bad been unfairly dealt with. Mr. Thomas James Burton stated that he was an apothecary, sad was in the habit of occasionally attending at the lodging-blouse belonging to the Asylum for Distressed &amen, in Blnegate Fields. He bad seat and attended the entire four deceased men from time to time, for the last three weeks and upwards. The diesels with which 51 1 Pberson was laid's* was of a put- Were ; Green's was of the same description, u was that of and Stott.

A Common Councilman, who had seen the defendant after the assault had been committed, recommended him to special care, as he had property about him. The Defendant— Well, well, I will put a salve upon these wounds. I wish to retire and talk with the officer. To this proposition the Loan Mavos readily assented, and the most agreeable remedy was immediately applied to the peace offi cer's wounds. GUILDHALL. Eiger Babes was put to the bar before Alderman FA SX10•1111111111. to answer the complaint of D. Ommanney, Esq. a sendesmalue. fleeted with the law. Mr. Ommanney stated that be and Mr. Kelly bad Ma Awn hers in Sergeants' Inn, Fleet -strew, to which place dm mai woman at the bar CMS and acted in a very strange mama s and when desired to quit, she took a poker to defend basil whist " ejection," broke chairs, and absolutely bit the santhman who tried to " sou" her. Alderman—There most be some cause for this intrusion; does she come often? Mr. Omnssuney—Yes, very often ; and she pretends to hare a claim on Mr. Kelly, with whom the formerly resided. The young woman said she had lived with Mr. Kelly fourteen years, and had had nine children by him, and but for she com plainant she could atilt continua her visits in peace as fonamly. The Alderman said that it appeared that the young women and Mr. Kelly bad lived together, and it was impossible for Sr. Oes enanney to say but that the former might have a deemmilopeet the latter, and he did not see any reason why Mr. Osnmminey eosin interfere when ous person came to see another. Mr. Ommantsey would ,not deny but the strictest intimacy bad subsisted between his friend and the prisoner, but he (Mr. 0.) did not believe that she had any of the children living. . Mr. Alderman Fasaasontas laid the young woman was the best judge of that, and after advisiog her to ge to the overseers for redeem, instead of creating a riot, ordered her to be discharged.

Mt. Webb ob serving there wee no chance of saving any of his property in the house, ran to the stables and put his horses Into an adjoining pas - cure. An engine from Nation was sent for, but the whole dwelling horse wasreduced to ashes before its arrival: the barns and stackyard surrounded the house, and had the wind been in any other dim don than north-east, the whole must have been a sacrifice; but aeltber the corn nor outbuildings were injured. The damage is estimated at about 1.2001. Mr. Webb is not insured. The estate is the property of Thomas Pitt, Esq. of Wlmpole- street, (of the km of Bosanquet and Co. bankers,) who is supposed to be covered by ins prance. Besides the usual description of furniture, Mr. Webb has lost a considerable quantity of plate and other articles of great Value. Mr. John Bourne of Minden, has kindly admitted Mr. Webb and family under h i s ' roof.—Ess ex fieersid. On Christmas Eve, as the landlord of the King's Arms, in Arundel-street, St rand, was dividing a bone in a piece of beef intended for distribution among his customers as is usual at this Batson of the year, his finger was scratched by the saw. The injury being apparently very slight, he took very tittle notice of it until the expiration of some days, when a swelling commenced in the hand, accompanied with considerable pain. A mortification soon after commenced, and he died on Sunday morning. He was in the 30th year of his age. BIRTHS. The lady of Dt. E. T. Mastro, of a son.
