SHIPWRECKS The heart-rending spectacle of a vessel 'stetted upon Whitby Rock, with the greater part of the crew, was recently witnessed by several of the inhabitants of that town. On Saturday morn ing last, about one o'clock, the brig Janet, of Lynn, coal laden, came on the rock, and was discovered at daylight, having beat up a considerable distance towards the foot of the east cliff. A considerable surf upon the shore rendered the approach of the cobles which went out to their assistance extremely difficult and dangerous: they succeeded, however, in rescuing three of the people, in a completely exhausted state, from the jaws of death ; the remainder, five in number, including the Master and M ate, perished in the waves. Two men were seen for some time Boating upon separate fragments of the wreck; but before any coble or boats could reach them, they were overwhelmed by the - . - wives, and sunk to rise no more. The apwing, Captain GIN/ILL, which arrived at Deal on Monday last, in 27 days from St. Domingo, on the 2d lost. in lat. 36. 50. long. 50. 42. fell in with the schooner Three Brothers, Captain W. HUTCHINS, of St. Andrew's, from Indiana, bound for Berbice, with staves; she was a complete wreck, and had on board only one individual, J. Munson, whose situation was one beyond the powers of human description. The Three Brothers sailed on the 22d of February, and proceeded smoothly in her course until the 2d of March, when they experienced a dreadful squall early in the morning. The violence of the storm incriased so rapidly, that is less than two hours the water was upon the cabin floor, and shortly afterwards the stauncheons were all carried away. The exertions of the crew, from that time to day-break the next mornh:g, were all that could be ex pected from men who had no prospect of life but from the most unwearied labour ; hut, alas ! all were useless: the light of the coming day only served them to discern their fate, and render death more terrible. At this awful moment a tremendous sea burst upon them, and ere they could utter a prayer to GOD the vessel capsized, and was soon filled with water. The Captain, who was at the time endeavouring to right the ship, was washed into the sea and sunk for ever. The vessel then lay on her beam ends, and her mast and bowsprit were instantly carried away. There re mained from the wreck six persons, one of whom was the Cap tain's son, a fine youth, whose situation may be easily con- 1 ceived : this young man survived until the twenty-third day, during which the crew were just able to keep life within them by means of some beet-root and bread, half a barrel of flour, and part of a cask of water, which they bad been able is keep by Clem; but, unfortunately, the water got mixed with sea water, and they suffered exceedingly by that circumstance, signs of ul- 1 ceration soon beginning to shew themselves. On the 25th of March, just as they were ruminating on their fate, and mourning the loss of the Captain's son and the Mate, Mr. Neil, who had .both died ; when, in fact, every hope had escaped them, and they were looking upon each other with horror, their chance of life was revived by the appearance of a brig. As this vessel came near them, their hopes increased, and they hailed her as long as their strength would allow therm; in deed she came so close to them at one time that they were fully convinced that they were seen; but they must have been mil taken, -for she passed by them without notice, and they were p:unged into all the horrors of despair. It would be anything but Christian.like to suppose, that they had been discovered by the crew of the brig ; tor what man could have seen and not relieved them? Previous to this time, all the provisions of the unhappy crew were consumed; and such was their state, that they came to the melancholy agreement to cut up the body of 31r. N. Neil, the Mate, part of which they were under the ne cessity of eating, fur the purpose of prolonging their existence, in the vain hope, as it turned out to all but one, of assistance. — On the following day, three more of the little crew died, and one was washed overboard, leaving only James Munson, who, by an extraordinary PoOVIDENCE, remained alive until the 2d instant ; when the Lapwing fell in with the wreck, and brought him to Deal, to relate the melancholy catastrophe which befel bia suffering companions. MUTINY AND DESTRUCTION OF THE SHIP KATE, OF LONDON. Niw YORE, MARCH 17.—The following are the particulars of the mutiny on board the British ship Kite, furnished by Cap- trio Jogs.., from Guadaloupe The crew, eight in number, of the ship Kate, Captain PUBDT, landed about four miles to windward of the Mole on the 24th January. They slept on the beach that night, and next morn ing a planter in the neighbourhood came to them, and brought them to his house. Their story was uniform—all said "they belonged to the American ship Retrieve, Captain JACOB Haws, belonging to Messrs Sueseu and Wrcxorr, merchants, of New York; that after six weeks boisterous weather, not bring able to keep the ship free, she being very leaky, the Captain had given orders to get the boat in readiness, and that they were doing it, and getting into the boat about ten o'clock of the night, when the Captain's son, about ten years old, fell overboard in trying to get into the boat, and that the Captain threw himself into the sea to save hint, but that both perished, and the ship went down; that after being one night and two days in the boat, they reached the beach near the Mole, with great hazard of their lives." They were afterwards escorted to Point Petre, when they were examined by the judge, and persisted in the story ; except one, a French lad, who privately die ' closed the truth to the Attorney-General. They had with them all their baggage, and considerable money. Among the bag gage was a Bible, with the label, " Presented by the Bier chatrs' Seamen Auxiliary Bible Society, to the ship Kate, of Landon—Gravesend, May 11; 1818." This the Mate, Thomas Murdock, said was given to him by a fellow-lodger in New York. The Judge, however, availed himself of this circumstance to in terro lite them a second time. Calling on blurdock, he said— " Th ere is the Bible belonging to the ship Kate, of London, Captain George Purdy, and upon that very same Bible you swear to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth." Murdock, much embarrassed, said in broken words, that he was not ac customed to swear on the Bible, and resisted some time, when the Judge observed to him, that if he would not answer to the questions, he would pronounce him guilty immediately; for to refuse answering the questions of the Court, was declaring him self guilty. Murdock then kissed the Bible. " Since I have taken an oath," said he, " on the Bible, I will speak the truth," and related the story in substance—" That they belonged to the ship Kate, of London, Captain George Purdy, which ship had been chartered in August last at Halifax, by Belcher Biney, and Co. for a voyage to Berbice and back to Halifax. The ship took a cargo of fish, beef, and some lumber, consigned to the house of Robert Kite, of Berbice. They reached Berbice, where the cargo was sold for cash. The proceeds were put on board in two boxes iron hooped, marked Nos. I and 2, captaining five thousand six hundred dollars. The ship sailed for Halifax in ballast. The Mate bad been discharged at Berbice, after having some quarrel with the Captain. Six weeks after sailing, finding constant head-winds, and being in want of provisions, and the water nearly consumed, the crew asked the Captain what ke intended to do? The Captain told them he had still some coffee, which he would give them for their support, and that he would try to get to Bermuda; but after twenty-four hours, the winds against them, they tried for New York, but without success. On the morning of the Bth of January, three of the crew went and seized the Captain, as he was walking on the deck, and tied him. They said, that he and those that lived in the cabin must either jump overboard or go into the jolly-boat alongside. They then embarked the Captain, who wished and asked to go into the cabin for his - cloak and boots, but be was not allowed. They begged earnestly for a compass—his Lady also went on her knees, and begged for a compass—but this was refused also. His . Lady, with their two children, one a boy two years old, the other a girl four years old, Mr. Robert Meredith, a passenger, and a mulatto boy named William, steward in the cabin, were then forced into the boat, with twenty pouhds of bread, two trunks of the Captain, and f.:r. Meredith's trutchs, and two oars, and were sent adrift. Th. , : crew were ignorant of their then latitude. After ten days 'ailing for . he West Indies, Deseada was the first land they dis covered ; they had rigged the long-boat as a sloop, put in their baggage and money, which had been malty divided among them, excepting the two lads, who had a share between them, when two of the crew went below and scuttled the ship."—Afterwards the rest of the -crew confessed their crime. About 1,400 dol lars tare been found and lodged at the Registrar's Office. Mur doca says he buried in the yard of the tavern at the Mole 451 dollars, but the mousy cannot be fcibUd. He has an American protection, says he was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and has papers from the Grand and Private Lodges of New York. The cook is a negro, from Philadelphia, from whence he went in a utorar.er to Halifax, his name l'hßip Fisher; he stutters. One wig'.

THE HE-CHAOU, OR " JOYFUL PROCLAMATION." OF THE NEW EMPEROR OF / CHINA, TAOU KW ANG.—( Translated by the Res Dr. Morrison.) On the 17th of the eighth Moon (September 23, 1820), the Great Emperor, who has receive& from Heaviest and revolving Nature the Government of the World, issued the following Pro climation Our D.-tains Dynasty has received the most substantial indi cations of HEAVZN'S kind care. Our ancestors, Tae.tsoo and Tae-tsung (about A. D. 1600), began to lay the vast foundation of our Empire, and Sbee-tsoo (in 1643-4) became the sole Mo narch of China. Our sacred ancestor, Kang-he, the Emperor Yung-Ching, the glory of his age; and Keen-lung, the eminent in honour, all bounded in virtue, were divine in martial prowess, consolidated the glory of the mpire, and moulded the whole to peaceful har mony. His late Majesty, who has now gone the great journey, governed all under HICAVOeS canopy twenty-five years, exer cising the utmost caution and industry, nor evening or orning was he ever idle. He assiduously aimed at the best possible rule, and hence his Government *as excellent and illustrious. The Court and the country felt the deepest reverence, and the stillness of profound awe. A benevolent heart and a benevolent admi nistration were universally diffused. In China Proper, as well as beyond it, order and tranquillity prevailed, and the tens of thousands of common people were all happy. But in the midst of hope that the glorious reign would be long protracted, and the help of HRAVI24 would be received many days, unexpectedly, on descending to bless, by his Majesty's pre senoe, the village Lwan-Yang, the Dragon Charioteer (the Holy Emperor) became a guest on high. Aly sacred and indQgeot father hid, in the year that be begun to rule alone, silently settled that the divine utensil, the Throne, should devolve on my contemptible person. I, knowing the feebleness of my virtue, at first felt much afraid I should not be competent to the office, but on reflecting that the sages, my ancestors, have left to posterity their plans, that his late Majesty has laid the duty on me, and fiascoes Throne should not be long vacant, I do violence to my ferlifigs acid force myself to intermit awhile my heartfelt grief, that I may with reverenc.: obey the unalterable decree, and on the 17th of the Bth Moon (October 3, 1820), 1 purpose devoutly to announce the event to fir.scro to Earth, to my Ancestors, and to the Gods of the Land and of the Grain, and shall then sit down on the Imperial 'Throne. Let the next year be the first of Toan-Kwang ("Resson's Glory"). I look upwards and hope to be able to continue former excel lencies. I lay my hand on my heart with feelings of respect and cautious awe. _ _ SC hen a new Monarch addresses himself to the Empire, he ought to confer benefits on his kindred, and extensively bestow gracious favours. Whatever is proper to be done on this occa sion, is stated below. 1. On all persons at Court, and those also who are at a dis tance from it, having the title of Wang (a King) and down wards; and those of or above the rank of Kung (a Duke), let gracious gifts be conferred. 2.

Let Officers be dispatched to sacrifice at the Tombs of departed Emperors aril Kings of every pa,t dynasty, at the grave of Confucius, and at the five great Mountains, and the four great Rivers of China. 11. Excepting rebels, murderers, and other unpardonable of fenders, let all those who have committed crimes before day break of the 27th of the Bth Moon (the day of ascending the Throne) be forgiven. If any again accuse them of the crimes forgiven, punish the accuser according to the crime which he alleges against the person already forgiven. _ _ 13 Ail convicts in the several Provinces who have been trans ported for crones committed, but who have conducted them selves quietly for a given time, shall be permitted to return to their homes. 15. Tartars under the different Banners, and persons of the Imperial I I6uschold, convicted of the embezzlement of property, and punished by forfeits • if it can be ',roved that they really possess no property, let them be all forgiven. 14.

Let one month's pay be given to certain of the blanchow and Mutts-Kola, Tartar soldiers, and also to Chinese troops, who joined the Tartar standard at the conquest. 21. Let all men who belong to the Tartar army, and who are now above 70 years of age, have a man allowed to attend upon then[, and excuse them from all service. To those above 80, give a piece of silk, a tally of cotton, a shih measure of rice, and ten catties of flesh meat; and to those men above 90 years or age, double these largesses. 22. Let all Overseers of Asylums for Widows and Orphans and for Sick People, be always attentive, and prevent any one being destitute. Lo! now, on succeeding to the Throne, I shall exercise myself to give repose to the millions of my people. Assist me to sustain the burden laid on my shoulders. With veneration I receive charge of TIZAVIN'S great concerns. Ye Kings and Statesmen, Officers great and small, Qvil and Military, every one be faithful and devoted, and aid in support ing the vast affair, that our Family Dominion may be preserved hundreds and tens of thousands of years, in never-ending tran quillity and glory. Promulgate this to all under Huitsx--eause every one to hear it ! (Signed) arc. Yesterday a Ballot was taken at the East-India House, to determine the following question, viz. " That Sir HARRY VIRULS7 DAILELL, Bart. late ofthe Bengal Civil Establishment, be permitted to return to the Service under the provisions of the Act of the 33d Geo. 111. Cap. 52, Sect. 70 $ with the rank which he held when he quitted Bengal, agreeably to the Act of the 53d Geo. 111. Cap. 155, Sect. es:" —At six o'clock the glasses were closed, and delivered to the scrutineers, who reported the question to be carried in the affirmative. The Editor of the Hundred Wonders of the World, of which, in four years, above twenty thousand copies have been sold, has just published a corresponding Volume on the Wonders of Me Heavens. This last work cannot but obtain a similar extent of circulation, judging . from the interest of the subject, the splendour and variety of the engravings, and the popular man ner of its composition. Astronomy was never before rendered so fascinating to the eye, and familiar to the understanding. . i~ ,• -i. ROMAN CATHOLIC QUESTION.

OLD BAILEY. Yesterday John Swipe was indicted for tat tl i ng • and publishing, as true, a forged instrument, purpo n , ing to be signed by John llodnell, for the sum of £lO 16s. Gd. to defraud his Majesty. The prisoner is a young man of very respectable appearance, and was Purser to hi. Majesty's slip Spartan. The instrument or instruments in quenioe were forged by him for the purpose of obtainin what is called allowance money from the Victualling 'oard, which money was to have been paid to the fficts s and men of the Spartan. It was proved by the witnesses for the Crown •.±al these instruments had been forged by the prisoner. Several of the crew of the Spartan were called, and they proved that their names had been forged by the prisoner, but on their cross-examination, they stated they were not aware that any money was dueto them. Mr. ALLEY, for the prisoner, took an objection, that, upon the face of the indictment, the instrument 'in question could not be called a forgery. Mr. BOLLAND, Mr. ADOLPHUS, and Mr. NOME, were heard on the part of the Crown. The objection was ultimately over-ruled. ~- The prisoner, in his defence, s tated th at h g h a d no intention of defrauding either his'Majesty or the crew of the Spartan, and entreated the clemency of the Court and Jury, beseeching them to remember that he had a wife and six children, who depended entirely upon him for support. The Officers of the Spartan were then called in as witnesses for the defence, and they gave the prisoner an excellent character for honesty. Mr. Justice PARK, in summing up, observed, that although the crew of the Spartan had stated that they did not know that any money was due to them, yet that did not disprove the intention to defraud his Majesty. The Jury returned a verdict Guilty, and recom mended the prisoner to mercy, on account of the good character he had received. The prisoner was then arraigned upon another is of a similar nature, for forging an instru ment for the sum of 139. 18s. Upon this also be was found Guilty. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, APRIL IS. Mary Ann Hill, and three other women, who had been witnesses on the trial of the indictment against Waites, for cruelty towards his illegitimate child, and against whom he preferred a cross-indictment for con spiracy, were acquitted upon an informality in the in dictment. The Court respited the judgment against Wailes until next Sessions. James Isaac Allen stood indicted for a conspiracy. It will be recollected that, some time ago, two Jews went about the town, one of them dressed like a livery servant, and the other like an old clothesman; their practice was to go into the shops of individuals, the Jew offering to purchase a bundle of old clothes the servant carried, and, not agreeing, the Jew would prevail upon the shopkeeper to purchase the clothes, offering him a large profit in the bargain, and gene. rally left a small deposit, but never after returned for the clothes. At last one of them (the prisoner) was taken to Bow -street, and committed. There were seven indictments against him. He was first tried fa conspiring to defraud Mrs. Selby, of High-strcer, Shadtvell, of the sum of £4 Bs. but here he acted the character of the servant ; the proof being defec tive, he was acquitted. He was then indicted bd conspiring to defraud Mr. Pritchard, hair-dresser , Burleigh-street, Strand, of £7 10s. Here he act ed the character of the old clothesman. He was f ood . Guilt, and the Court sentenced him to twelve moot -imprisonment, and then to be bound over for bd good behaviour, himself in the sum of £lOO, =d r° sureties in £5O each. At the Circuit Court of Justiciary at Glasgow, the I 1 th instant, Wm. Moore, Thomas Conneglaili Reid, Charles M'Donald, and Wm. APNichol, found guilty of housebreaking and theft. Ude° who was further convicted of being by habit and ,Le' pate a thief, was sentenced to be hanged on the low 'May ; and the other prisoners to be transported ba yond seas for 14 years. Moore was recommended ° mercy by the Jury en account of his age —only 15 ' At the same Circuit Court, Wm. Leonard Snell messenger in Airdrie, was convicted of issuing forge d Notes, and sentenced to be executed at Glaigoee ° Wednesday, the 16th of May next. - The 2d inst. at Doncaster, 42 young men and bore were convicted at the Mansion House, in the peak! of Ss. 4d. each, for profaning the LORD'S Alb 111 playing at foot-ball. A horrid murder was committed on Saturday last. at Boscastle, in Cornwall. During the festivities at wedding, two young men, named - Guard and Hoskin, had some words ; the former left the compaoh we p t home and got a shoemaker's knife, and soon after molt , ing Hoskyn in the street, stabbed him to the heart.
