1 ; , A-. ERDEEN, APRIL 2. . ; I.' LOSS OF THE WHALE-FISHING SHIP OSCAR. Thursday, after the mildest weather known for many years, we experienced one of the most sudden and violent storms, for its short duration, which we remember since the memorable storm of January 1800; and, although not equally fatal in its effects, attended with one of the most melancholy and dis tressing events that ever happened at this place. In the morning, the v4d, which had been westerly dur ing the night, veered round to tl.e south-eastward, with snow, blowing strong, but shifting soon after to the north-eastward, became moderate. At this time the whale fishing ships Hercules, ALISON ; Latona, 1 Alla ; Middleton, TODD; St. Andrew, R EID ; and • Oscar, INN ES ; which had sailed early in the morning, mere tiding at anchor in the Bay ; and the weather being still unsettled, and' having the appearance of an impending storm, the two latter weighed, and, getting under sail, attempted to clear the Girdle-ness and.rtin to the southward. A heavy sea, with little wind, having rendered this impracticable, both ships, after falling to the leeward, were under the necessity of bringing up again in the face of the rocky shore, ( within the Ness ; soon after which, the great violence of the gale, which commenced from N.E. with thick i snow, rendered their situation perilous in the extreme, ' and filled the minds of the numerous people collect ] ed.on shore, with the most painful apprehensions.— ,About half an hour afterwards, that is, about eleven o'clock A. N. the Oscar, after dragging her anchor, . was seen to go ashore in the they Hope, near the Short Ness, and immediately after she lost her main mast and mizen top-mast. A considerable number of eople succeeded in getting across by the Ferry, and i hastened to the spot, in order to render such assistance as might be found in their power. The heart-rending scene which, however, now presented itself, made it too apparent that all human efforts for preservation of the unfortunate crew must be altogetlw unavailing. The vessel lay among large rocks, and from the tre mendous sea which brol:e over her was already break ing up, and soon after separated, the fore-mast going by the board. At this awful crisis two of her boats, nearly full of men, were observed pushing off from the wreck ; but before they could get any distance, so as rightly to have the use of their oars. both were over whelmed .13y a tremendous sea, when, melancholy to relate, the whole disappeared in the merciless ocean ! the distance between the spectators on shore and the unfortunate seamen being such, as to admit of a com munication of sentiment even by the countenance: the fate of two or three others seemed no less hard; for, af-1 ter having nearly gained the shore, they were swept . off ' by the heavy surge, or borne down by the casks and other wreck with which they were surrounded. The forecastle of the Oscar still remaining above water, five men were observed, and among them Captain INNEs was distinctly seen making signals for that as sistance which could not possibly be afforded ; and, after clinging long to the knight-heads and bowsprit, and struggling hard for life, they shared the fate of their unfortunate companions, the vessel being now a total wreck. About this time Mr. JOIIN JAMESON, first mate, and James Venes, a seaman belonging to Shields, were with difficulty saved ; being the only survivors of this sad catastrophe, out of a crew of 45 persons. Thus perished the Oscar, which, but a few hours before, had sailed with the fairest prospect, and being very complete in all her equipments, might be valued at £10,000; and thus was lost, one of the finesf crews which could go to sea, men so lately full of hope and expectation, were in one fatal hour cut off, many of them leaving, by their untimely fate, their widows and numerous families in anguish and distress. —Soon after the Oscar struck, the St. Andrew, which rode about a cable length to the windwaad, cut from both anchors in the face of that rock which had - just proved so fatal, and when there scarcely remained a hope of her safety. They ship was, however, got under weigh with the stay-sails and mizen; and, with the greatest alacrity, the fore and main-top-sail beings set, she beat to windward along this rugged part of the coast, while horror was painted in the counte nance of every beholder, who momentarily expected that the ship and crew must share the melancholy 4 1 fate of the Oscar, which seemed inevitable. Never, under DIVINE Paovinewoc, was seamanship and exer. Lion more successfully displayed ; and never wai a ship seen to escape greater or more emminent peril. In a manner truly astonishing, she surmounted the breakers, and weathered this tremendous part of the ' coast, (to the inexpressible joy of the many anxious spectators assembled) gaining the port in safety. —The Middleton and Latona had previously cut from their anchors, and -after barely clearing the North Pier, got safely into the harbour : but we re gret to state, that the Hercules was not alike fortu nate ; for, after dragging her anchor almost to the Pier-head, she knocked off her rudder, to the north ward of the Pier, and was immediately driven ashore on the beach- The crew were all saved, and the ves sel is expected to be got off without any material da mage, it the wind becomes soon moderate. Upwards of 30 (or, as is said, from 36 to 38) of the bodies of , the Oscar's late unfertunate crew, and among them that of Captain I% N I.:Q, have been cast ashore; and it was truly a mourmul spectacle to see so many weep ing relations endeavouring- to recognize the features of their departed and lamented friends. A conside rable number have been claimed ; and such as have ', nut will be decently interred. KNIGHTS OF KERRY.—When the County of Kerry was almost entirely in the hands of the great Dl:s -lioNn family, their retainers, who held by Knights Service, included several branches of the FITZGE RALDS, to whom, as honorary distinctions, they, of their paramount feudal supremacy, gave these titles to distinguish, or, perhaps, reward them for their ser vices. One family, namely, that of DINGLE, were made 64 Knights of Kerry ;" another family of the same name, Knights of Mc Valley," since changed to a less romantic denomination, namely, 44 Knights of She Glen," and to a third house of the same name, that of " The White Knight," an honour now held in abeyance, by the Comma': Dowager of Kixus rox.— These distinctions were originally of right, and of high antiquity ; they are considered still as very ho. Imputable, and are given freely to their owners by the unanimous consent of their gallant compatriots of KERRY. The title is not a late assumption, nor in any way connected with the represeotatiou of the county. oiri Lt . aEr. Yesterday Richard Strom, aged 24 years, stood in dicted for feloniously intermarrying with Sarah Ca therine Bayley, while his former wife Elizabeth was i living. The first marriage of the prisoner was proved to have taken place on the 10th of December, 1810, in St. George's parish, and his second marriage dur ing the month (-X March last.—The prisoner said he had no defence to make, and was immediately found Guilty by the Jury. licury Stevens, a relation of the above prisoner, was convicted of stealing in the dwelling-house of Sharp, a publican, a watch, &c. The prisoner lodged in the house, and stole the property in the night, the landlord having, for temporary convenience, slept in the same room with him; when he absconded, but was taken at Portsmouth. Benjamin Hart was indicted for a burglary in the house of Mr. Crook, in York-street, Covent-garden, and stealing linens to the amount of more than 40s. Wm. Hemmings, shopman to the prosecutor, stated, that about nine o'clock in the morning of the 2,Sd of ' February, he was moving some linens at a few yards distance from the shop door, which was shut, and hearing a noise, he saw the prisoner leave the shop with two pieces of linen. Witness followed and se cured him, the latter having dropped the property. Guilty—Death. Mary Green was convicted of stealing . 4s yards of muslin, in the shop of Faulder and Co. in Coventry street. The prisoner went to the shop with another woman, on the 20th February, and during the bustle of business she contrived to conceal the property under a mantle. She was suspected, and challenged; when she dropped the goods, and begged for mercy. The following were also convicted of felony, viz. G. Herbert, for stealing a cloth coat, the property of W. Allum ; J. Bowden and W. Hitchcock, for steal ing a quantity of beans and corn, the property of F. Dancer ; J. Moody, for stealing several articles of wearing apparel, the. property of W. Jones; T. Cog lan' for stealing nine copper rivets, the property of the London Dock Company; J. Smith and R. Griffin; for stealing a cask of saltpetre, the property of Messrs. Eykin and Browning; S. Jones, for stealing twelve pair of stockings, the property of Messrs. Clark and Co.; T. Templer, for stealing three snuff-boxes, the property of Messrs. Phipps and Co. ; J. Oliver, for stealing a hand ku.zhief, the property of a person un known ; Sarah West, for stealing two blankets, the property of Eliz. Thiot, a piece of muslin, the pro perty of Eliz. Monday, and two muslin handkerchiefs, the property of S. Abbott ; and H. Isaacs, for steal ing a pocket-book, and five Jel Bank -notes, the pro perty of J. Crook. _ _ _ J. James was indicted for breaking out of the house of M. Francois Mari de la Norme de Lille. A person called at the prosecutor's house, under pretence of getting a pair of boots to mend, and whilst the ser vant was gone up stairs, the thief decaniped with a great coat and hat from the hall. The prisoner was not identified, but on searching his apartments a pair of gloves were found, which the prosecutor believed to be his. The evidence not being sufficiently strong, the prisoner was acquitted. The following were also acquitted :—D. Wells, C. Slater, W. Willoughby, J. Todman, C. Clibbon, W. Thompson, W. Pugh, T. Nutter, and J. Lawrence. Bow-srnEET.—J. Richardson, who lately broke out of Cold-bath-fields prison, where he was confined on a charge of house-breaking, was re taken on Tuesday evening in Crown -street, St. Giles's, by Becket, the principal turnkey of the above prison. On searching him Bank-notes to the amount of £523 were found upon him, £5OO of which he offered Becket to con nive at his escape, which was instantly rejected. In the course of their conversation Becket asked him, if he knew any thing of the robbery of the Marchioness of Dowasittlie's house when, after some hesitation, he acknowledged he was one of the robbers. Becket asked him, if the notes were the produce of that rob bery ? to which he replied, that they were only a part, and that he had received them from a man of the name of Simmons, who purchased part of the pro perty ; but he refused to tell where Simmons lived. On arriving at the House of Correction, he made a further confessiqp to Mr. Adkins, the Governor. He said'he lodged - at the Colonade, near Russell-square, and gave the Governor his keys, and told him the drawers where he would find two rings and a pocket- 1 book, which, on being procured, were supposed to be part of the Marclioness's stolen property. Since his confession, the officers have been indefatigable in tracing and apprehending those concerned with him, and they yesterday underwent an examination at this Office, before Mr. READ ; when, after a full investi gation, J. Richardson and Reuben Joseph were com mitted for further examination, for committing the robbery. Dinah Joseph, N. Simmons, Sarah Simmons, and J. Frankel, were committed for further examiva tion, charged with receiving the property. GUILDHALL.—A woman was yesterday committed to Bridewell for a month, who had in been the habit of imposing upon people who had relations at sea, by pretending to have arrived from Portsmouth, and bringing accounts of their relatives, by which they were in+!uced to reward her ; but having told the same story to two women, who had sons on board the WOLVERINE * she was detected, and taken into custody. EXECUTION.—Thursday seennight, were executed on Penenden Heath, pursuant to sentence. at the Kent Assizes, John Brett, for cutting his wife's throat with intent to murder her ; Rolert Robert:, alias Moors, for house-breaking; John Jacism, alias Remington, and John Bower:, for horse-stealing ; Charlet Schmidtzer, alias Francis Steiner, for cutting Thos. Armstrong, of Ashford, with intent to murder him ; and 'Thomas Godfrey, for an unnatural crime. AFRICAN MAGIC — TILE Oat.—An old woman, of GO, was in February tried at Kingston, Jamaica, for practising this rite. The influence she had obtained throrgh means of it was very extensive ; she con quered the incredulity of some by administering to them slow poisons, and then represented their wasting illness and sufferings as the natural consequences of their unbelief in her power. Some of her followers died under the severe probations to which she con demned them. The particular offence for which she was tried was administering poison to a slave, whom she had vowed to destroy, while attending her pre tended incantations. She was found guilty, senten ced to suffer death, and three of her disciples trans , ported from the island. •_- • • TILEATRIS. 1 -• • COVENT GAnDri.—The Messrs. AsALEY furttisike. l a Musical treat for the public on Wednesday even. ing, under the femme of a Grand Selection of Sa• cred Musk, which will be long remembered by those who had the felicity to be present. It was, in fact, a teuticeil of rich and rare materials. Last night Mrs. Jonnaw appeared at this Theatre in the character of Beatrice, in the revived Comedy of the Panne!, and acquitted herself with her usual ex• cellence—the House was exceedingly well attended. DRURY LANE.--The Selection of Sacred Music, with the Readings by Miss SMITH, drew a crowded audience to this Theatre on Wednesday, who testi fied their high approbation of the performances by repeated plaudits, during the evening. Last night the Tragedy of Othello was represented, for the purpose of introducing a Mr. SOWERBY, froM the Bath Theatre, in the character of Othello. Of the acting of this Gentleman, we cannot say much either in his commendation, or condemnation. His action was frequently neither dignified nor graceful, nor is the quality of his voice very melodious or powerful ; yet there were some scenes, in which he elicited a few sparks of fire. Mrs. GLOVER performed Emilia so well, that had she been arranged by the side of any other acting De demons than Miss SMITH, who is unquestionably the best, she might have contested the palm of merit with her unhappy mistress. Mr. POPE p:oved to be as good an logo as we have been re cently accustomed to behold : and the play was, al together, well got up, particularly in the scenery. Wednesday morning, as early as five o'clock, a crowd of brokers and others beTset the Exchequer- Bill Office, in order to put down their names for funding Exchequer Bills. Such was the scramble to get in, that a number of the persons were thrown down, and many of them injured ; some fainted by the excessive pressure of the crowd, and a few had their coats literally torn from off their backs. The first fourteen names (chiefly bankers) subscribed seven millions out of the 12 required ; and very early in the day, notice was given, that the subscription was full. The noires are now in a desponding way, having lost all chance of success since the Capture of their Lottery by a British frigate, and we hope the energies of oar Adventurers will prevent their Agents here re imbursing the Americans, in buying the Capital Prizes of the present State Lottery them:chit: 6 being Three Twenty Thousands, Three Ten Thousands, &c. &c. and so arranged by Government, as not only to contain more Prizes than Blanks, but every Ticket drawn on the 6th of May will be a Prize. CONVERSION OF THE JEWS.—Wednesday the Duke of KENT laid the first stone of the intended Episcopal Chapel and buildings on the ground belonging to the Society for Promoting Christianity among the:Jews, at Bethnal-green-road. His Royal Highness went, with a long train of carriages, occupied by the No bility and Gentry,. Patrons of the Institution, from the London Tavern, and on his arrival at the ground, was assisted in the ceremony by. Lord ERSKINE, Lord BARHAM, the Loan MAYOR and Sheriffs, Mr. WIL• EPRFORCR, &c. Ten girls, Jewish children, who have been brought up in the Christian Religion, and more than twenty boys of the same description, walked in the procession, aad made a neat, cleanly appearance. After the ceremony, the Duke of KENT returned with the Presidents, Stewards, and Visitors, to dinner at the London Tavern, where his Royal Highness took the Chair. One of thz.. boys made a suitable oration in a very able manner. As a great number of persons are rendered very unhappy by Spasms, Wind in the Stomach, Obstruc tions in the Bowels, want of regular Perspiration, Vomitings, and Bilious Complaints, Head Achs, Heart Burn, Costiveness, Nervous Disorders, Cholic, Gout, &c.—We are authorised to say, that SPEED!.

NVORMS ARE THE MOST FREQUENT SOURCES OF CHILDREN'S' DISEASES : Their SYMP TOMS EVERY PARENT and GUARDIAN of CHILDREN should be acquainted with. They occasion loss of appetite, a paleness of the colour of the face, emaciation and irregular state of the bowels, attended after with violent pains ; they bring on convulsions; they affect the growth of the body, and they prove fatal, by ending in a consumption or decay. Both as a preventative and cure of thesealarming complaints, the above excellent Medicine is universally allowed, on the testimony of the highest characters in this country, both in rank and respectabi lity, to have no equal. '1 heir public approbation, given to the Proprietor, from a personal knowledge of its wonderful success In their own families, stamps its merit beyond competition, and gives a sanction to it, of which no other Medicine of the kind can boast. Parents and others, who have the care of children, should have this remedy as a family Medicine to resort to, when ever the stomach or bowels of Children are any way disordered, which it will always be found to relieve.

MES6RS. QQS acid Co. as regularly educated Suigeons of I.oridon, have sedulously devoted thek atten tion for these last 17 years to the study of those disorders which so frequently embitter, and too often prevent, that inestimable blessing, matrimonial felicity. The tiurivalled patronage that they have hitherto r. ceived 'from persons of the,,ftesfdistinction, and the uniform success a tending their superior mode of treatment in such complaints, induce them thus publicly to offer their assist ance. In all cases of debility iar deficiency, whether resulting from the too frequency of participating In the gaieties of a fashionable life ' the unbounded indulgence of libertinism, or a secret, solitary, and destructive habit, which weakens the energy Of the mind, and destroys the Bower of youth, by producing sterility in the oise sex, and impotence in the other, they offer a safe and permanent core. 'l'o those who, from such complaints, - areprevented entering into the marriage state, and ashamed to seek relief, brood over their infirmities la iihince, It muse be consoling to know, however di6- cult or ineff.ctual the cure may becleemed by ether practitioners, that, by a renovating and infallible method, they may be restored to a sound and vigor - 04i constitution. A certain Dieurdrf, fre quently contracted in a moment of indiscretion i and every of Venereal Infection, by a mild add never-failing mode of treat ment, is speedily and r.idically removed, without restraint in diet or. exerci se, as also Strictures of the Urethra and G Letts which they are enabled to cure in a short period, without recourse to the painful, dangerous effects of-the Caustii; references of which can be given to several Gentlemeu of high respectability, who Lave been cured in a very short period, after having laboured under strictures for nady seers.

Surgeons, late in his Majesty's Service, challenge the wools world to prove a ;Ingle instance where their Medicine and method of cure ever 'ailed of the desired effect. The practice of many years in the particular branch of their profession has Rot given rise to one Jmuccessful case. They continue so direct their studies to the treatment and cure of Venereal Complaints, and that derangement of the system, which is the consequence of the pernicious and wa.teful effects of a habit long and most unhappily r tirsued by the youths of both sexes, in the one it will be found to be the unfailing source of barren gess ; the other have its ravages fatally developed to them by a dis :ressing state of debility, which, tf not timely remedied, terminates in impotence. These are its remote and ultimate elects, while con. sumptions, loss of muscular pow er,and various nervous complaints usually characterise the waits stages of this solitary vice. Of per son, languishing under the disorders incident to such a habit, their rt-atment is simple and has never proved unsuccessful, in the course of a long, laborious, and much extended practice. In the most obstinate and complicated cases of venereal infection, such %s obstructions in the urethra, spungy excrescences, hard r t i. rams, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal weakness, gleets, as also STRICTURES, _ _ _ Whether recent or of long duration, and which have baffled ass skill anther Practitioners ; are by their present improved plan of treatment, effectually anti permanently cured, without the patient suffering the excruciating pain and alarming hemorrhage Weds often follows the application of the lunar caustic. In the course of to years extensive practice in this metropolis, nernerous cases of strictures have been and are daily tinder their care, the total eradication of which are effected by a safe, cemin, and expedite tious mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted. The weakness, relaxation, and proceeding from this com plaint, is speedily removed, and the pa:lcm restored to sound and vigorous health. Put where the debhity has for years exis ted, a proper persev?raticc in thee restorative remedies, after the Stricture has been M!stroyed, is indispensably requisite to revive the slumbering sparks of life, and to reanimate the constitution.
