M tt ulle PARTICULARS. The followiug account of this most melancholy event is from a Gentleman, who arrived in town yesterday in the Holyhead Mail.—lfe left Dublin on Wednesday morning, and sailed with Capt. Smartt, in his steam vessel, from Howth, at about eight o'clock, and reached the pier at Holyhead at about three in the lafternoon. Onlanding, he learned that a vessel had foUndered !about ten miles from the Head, but no vestige of the wreck was :visible. Boats were sent out in all directions; when, at about *five o'clock, be was sent for to Spencer's Hotel, to request he ould go down to the beach to see some bodies, to see if he wild recognise the remains of any of the unfortunate sufferers hos bodies had been picked up. The bodies of about twenty int persons, principally fernalet, were landed from the several oat:, and were stretched in different parts of a held near the •ater-side. f Thi to most awful and melancholy spectacle here presented it to the view. Mothers with their infants at their breasts, Hafted the last dying efforts to cling to life ; but. alas, they peed nothing but their innocent infant, who, with its frantic :her, so suddenly and so soon was immersed ha a watery re. Children of the ages of two, three, and four years were I found near females of between twenty and thirty years of presumed to be their mothers. l'he countenances of the few men whom he saw, exhibited a ng contrast to the placidity which pervaded those of the faces ,or infants, who, of course, were unconscious of the anticipa , deaths which the adults momentarily expected. The only body which had the appearance of a Gentleman, which had been picked up previous to the departure of the ail o ach from Holyhead, was that of a Major )(sus, at least the papers which were found in his pockets led the Custom loose Officers to conclude was the Gentleman's name; but al tough our informant was acquainted with a Major KZLLY, rho had been on the Staff of General Eczema, he could not the upon himself to identify the corpse of the figure he saw, rhidt certainly, In point of personal appearance, bore a strong eternblance to that Gentleman. Colonel —, a GentlAnan. tit° knew him well, and who came over in the same packet with ur intormant, expressed his opinion very strongLy as to the kntity of Malor &Lev ; but the fact is, the countenance was o completely distorted, that it was impossible to trace the re rinblance of the Femmes. There eau be no doubt that the body picked op was that of a :entleman, for that put of the dress which he had on (being all wt his hat, boots, and coat), ascertained that point. Upwards it 2001. was found it• his pockets, which is safe, it is believed, n the bands of the Custom-House Officers, together with the htters and documents that were found on his person.

PRIVILEGE or FRANKING.—Among the advan tages attending the privilege of franking, allowed to the Members of the British Senate, we do not recol lect to have seen that of franking the tidings of one's own death. Yet that even this may rank among the number, was proved the other day, by the following' singular circumstance. The late Admiral Lord K—, had franked an envelope for a letter intended to be written to one of his relatives; he died before the day for which it was dated, and the frank was aCtually used to cover a letterto the same relative, to announce the death of the noble writer.—Literary Chronicle. Aft acas took place on Thprsday in Pall-mall, be tween two Gentlemen, one of them attired en mill taire. The passers by were surprised at seeing one of them run across the street, and salute the•other with words vehemently uttered. The person of mili tary appearance immediately struck him with a cane, and blows ensued on both sides, which, however, did not last long, a truce being agreed upon, with an ex ' change of cards. • . The riot in the Theatre at Marseilles on the 17th instant, noticed in our Paper of yesterday, seems to have been more decidedly of a political character than we before supposed.

The ground he had to p over in collecting the stones .was five miles 1300 yards. GENERAL D UMO URIER. Whatever.opinion may be entertained of the cha racter of General Dumourier, and although it would be difficult to justify his conduct at one period of his life, it is certain that he terminated his political ca reer honourably. This General prevented many de predations in Belgium, on the invasion of the French army. On his own authority he caused to be re stored to the Churches the plate, which the Commis sioners of the Executive Government had removed. These Commissioners were even arrested by bit or_ der% iv was also the Chief -of the Company of Sans Culottes, called Estienne, and he sent them back to Park under an escort. The four Commissioners on mission in Belgium from the Convention, repaired to Louvain in the beginning of March, 170, in order to find Dumourier. In a conference they reproached him with his conduct. The General replied to Ca mus, this he was astonished that a man who like him pretended to a regard for religion should wish to sanction the robbery of the sacred vessels, and the objects of the worship of a friendly people. " Go," said he, " to. St. Gudule, and see the sacred hosts - trampled under foot, the tabernaclesand confessionals broken, and the pictures torn in pieces. • Do find means of justifying these profanations ; and is there any other than that of restoring the plate, and ex emplarily punishing the satellites who thus criminally executed your orders? If the Convention sanction such crimes, if the Convention do not punish them, so much the worse for it, and for my unfortunate country. Know that, were it necessary to commit a crime to save the country, I would not commit it ; but in this case the atrocious crimes which have been perpetrated turn against France, and I serve it by en deavouring to _efface, them: This anecdote, which is authentic, has left a recoll ection full of interest in theminds of the Belgians, in which all men of worth, whatever may be their country or their opinions, will. participate. .

In 1801, 1802, 1803,. the average quantity of Port wile wine imported into Ireland was 5,561 tons, the average quantity of the same beverage imported in the years 1819, 1820, 1821, 1822, was only 1 . ,113 tons, being a decrease of 4,448 tons in a year, or four `fifth& 13y a comparison of the same years .the im portation of French wines fell off from 642 to 148 tons, or also four-fifths. There has also been a sen sible decrease in the quantity of other wines imported, particularly in Spanish and, Rhenish, though to no = thing like the same extent as in the above two. At the same time it must be mentioned, that in the years 1819, 1820, 1821, 1822, there was iniperted on an, average 561 tons of Cape wine, none "of this article being imported in 1801, 1802, .1899. -In the latter four years the rate of.the. duty, on: wines of every kind'was consideribly more_tbeß6lanblet who ivwps• the former three years, insi_ yet . the gross average, amount •of the duty on 'ADE during the four years was less by £86, 9 40 than du ri ng thp . _thrcl yens, From this statement also . we > iy fuitherieitti-tfiat i nc reage-qf the rate of-taxation is not the heseieufto angnient the revenue, a larger sum being eolleitiecl.itt this instance . when the rate,of theAll34#laS•lin tfkaa, when it was high.
