FROM THE DUBLIN JOURNAL OF FRIDAY. The provincial Papers received this Morning are free from any details of new outrage; but we have a sufficient catalogue from previous communications, and cannot yet flatter the Public with any well founded hope of the speedy restoration of good order in the disturbed distticts. In the depot of convicts at Cork, there are 300 men and 45 women, for transportation. The tribu nals in the South are daily adding to this number, and that such examples of the power of the law should not produce a salutary effect, shews the force of the delusion and determination of the misguided peOple. Perseverance in the execution of the Insurrection Act will, no doubt, finally subdue the obdurate spirit of the insurgents; but in the meantime, the country is ravaged by their atrocities, and notwithstanding the horror expressed in l'arliament against the appli cation of martial law, it is yet a question, whether the objects of ha manity would not be sooner attained by it than by the slow process of trying them at Special Sessions. None will accuse us of harbouring sentiments either unconstitutional, or tinctured with the least feeling of cruelty ; but it would be kindness to the people them selves, to convince them that their objects are ut terly impracticable—that society could not subsist under the law they wish to establish—and that were it possible to realise their views—namely, the occu-, pancy of the land without paying or tithe rent— thro' force, a civil war would immediately jcommence among themselves--the strong would claim a larger sham than the weak—and the elements of rapine and bloodshed would be engendered from the very nature of their new circumstaoces ; but before the insurgents could ever arrive at the first point in their system, the whole power of the civilized community of Great Britain and Leland would be excited against them, and a war of extermination would leave the field 'without occupants. It is probable the peasantry do not calculate upon a result of this kind, and also, that they will not listen to any salutary advice, either from the Judges at the Sessions. or from the Clergy at the Altar, and there fore, considering them incorrigible, as far as persua sion and the power of the Insurrection Act ought to have influence, we see no reason that Martial Law should be deemed a measure of terrific severity, for truly, if the Insurgents shall pursue their plans of out rage much longer,,the well affected part of the com munity ss ill be left no other resource for defence and protection against savage barbarity.` Saturday se'nnight, 29 houses were burnt to the grounJ at Woodbridge, near Dorchester, occasioned by the landlord of the• Bear public-house firing at a swallow. The houseless inhabitants are in a wretched cuudition; many of them took shekel in the Church. ~' _ ...~- -"' w=o NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. !de ll o; W gas ig t ht in o a n hi Sa Ccial turd Pant ay ; sle sh l iP efe W ße incilebea the * VA, nuary,ngal Ind Sc.

Towards evening the sea became ex tremely boisterous ; as the vessel inclined to, either side, there the pigs rushed in a body ; and the bullocks having broken loose, became unmanageable. In this predicament, considerable fears were entertained by the passengers for their safety, and they en treated the Captain either to return to Dublin or put into the nearest port. It was impossible to comply with the former re quest, but the Captain said he would rua into Whitebaven. At this time (about half-past eight) the vessel was under a heavy press of sail, and bearing on the Manx coast. Our informant (Mr. Joszeu Num, of Newgrove, near Monaghan) says, the Cap tain was not aware of being near the, teed, for, titre-ply tett question_ of Mr. Ntioe) he said there was no danger, as the vessel was between twenty and thirty miles off any 'eoast.-- A few minutes afterwards,tbe Captain and Mr. brixoe being in l the cabin (the latter having lain down in the Captain's bed), the vessel struck On the rocks at Jangles Point with a dreadful crash. The Captain and Mr. Nixon instantly rushed on deck, where a scene of the most horrifying description presented itself. The terrific shrieks of the women and children. and the distrac don of the men may be imagined, but cannot be described. At this awful and perilous moment—the sea' running mountains high, and the waves dashing over the venelobrouded in midnight dark. ness, and on an unknown coast, there was not an instant for delibe ration. Those who could swim immediately jumped into the sea, and gained the rocks, while stew others also succeeded in passing over the bowsprit and descending on a jutting point of the rock. Several who had gained the rocks were unfortunately washed off by the overwhelming waves and it was only by the utmost ha man exertions that any portion of them escaped destruction. — Those who succeeded in retaining their hold, clambered from rock to rock, during the short interval that succeded each wave, until they attained the laud. Of the entire number, not more ' that nineteen persons (including the Captain and crew) were eaved—the remainder found a watery grave. One woman was asses the number saved, hot she was much injured and is not elpeelled to survive. The had a narrow escape, and was much bruised.

DyER, - Esti . . .the worths' Magistrate of . arlborOugh-stiel Office t . . Madame Tfigni, a foreign Lady of very great re speatability, aocompankd by a pretty genteel girl o( fifteen years of age, requested the asustaoce of the Police, under the following. singularly unfortunate' circumstances :—Madame Trigiu, in very great af fliction, stated, that the:young tidy; her daughter, who accompanied her, was intended for a religious• life, and was about to be educated for that, prepara tory to her being placed in a Catholic family of dii tinction ; and, in order that the young Lady might pursue her studies uninterrUptedly, she was placed in the care of Madame Louisa Fabian, a Spanish woman, residing •in niddington-streer, Mary-la- BJnae. This woman was recommended as a most fit person for such a charge, and the applicant had no hesitation in placing her daughter under her in+ struction, as she believed her a strictly pious woman, bbt the sequel proved the very reverse. Her daughter had only been in the house a few days, when her ruin Was effected by a stranger whom she never had seen before. This person, with Madame Fabian, had suc ceeded in making her almost intoxicated with ale, into which she believed a soporific was infused. She requested the assistance of the police to discover her d.iugliter's seducer. . ' . The young Lady was then with great difficulty prevailed upon to derail the following circumstances: 11 - he having been placed in Madame Fabian's house, received instructions from her daily, and regularly 'attended the service of the Mass and Vespers, on her return from which yesterday week, she found a Gen tleman sitting with and talking very freely to Ma dame Fabian, who introduce& him to her rather formally. The man spoke French fluently, although with an Irish accent. Having drank tea, an amusing conversation followed ; he frequently regarding her in a manner she did not like: he also made ap proaches which she laughed at, not for an instant supposing he meant any harm : however, ale was in troduced, and she was obliged to drink considerably. Shortly after be requested Madame Fabian to buy some oysters, for which purpose she retired, shutting the door alter her, leaving him and the poor girl alone, lie instantly seised her, and although she loudly screamed for assistance, and violently re sisted, yet no one came, and he effected his purpose. During the struggle she tore his face. Some time after Madame Fabian entered the room, with supper, and smiling, seemed to exchange looks with the man. She only laughed at the complainant, who was cry ing; in a chair, and advised her to eat some supper. The man soon after left,. and on upbraiding Madame Fabian with her treachery, the witness was only latighed at, and Madame Fabian made same very indecent . jokes upon her situation , blaming herself. She in a few days returned home, and stated what had occurred so her mother's attendant. The Magistrate having listened very attentively to this extraordinary recital, questioned her very closely on several points of evidence, during which it was elicited that she had never seen the man before, but she would know him again, particularly as she had .torn his face; she Sever consented to: his brutal at- lack;and hid resisted until she-fainted: . The young Lady seetne&very ill. . - - • .. . ~ ' It was stated to the Magistrate, that it was found necessary to resort to surgical advice. and the young Lady had been attended by's ineilleil Gentleman. Mr.DYER said, their evidence would be necessary, V. If die-Wretch w as discovered; and having had the "young Lady sworn to these facts, he issued awai view. against Madame Fabian, who, on Saturday, sess brought before the Magistrate; and the evidence being detailed to her; she was called on to account,* her conduct, being assured she should be committed 'as an accessory if she did not speak the truth. The woman then, in French..and with great volu bility, admitted having received Mademoiselle Trigni ~in her house, as boarder, which she extremely re lretted, as the young Lady was possessed of. very "wanton manners and levity .of behaviour towards been, even • strangers, for which she frequently re proved her; but the ypung Lady only laughed her caution to scorn, saying she - Wail' do as she pleased. She had introduced the Gehiliniiii in question as a sweetheart, to whom she said she was much attached, and she often .met -him in the Park. He seemed to be as impudent is herself, and often, even before her (Madame Fabian). took very great liberties with the girl, who encouraged him much. She recol lected his being brought there on the Sunday men-: cioned, and also for the Oysters, not imagining 1 imything would have occurred during her . absence. Had the girl screamed, she must have heard' her ; ,tend on returning,' she observed nothing . particalarly i unusual. The young lady was then sitting near the ratan, pouting, but she afterwards laughed, and ate very heartily. From some appearances, she was led to be of opinion something had occurred, and she then blamed herself for leaving them alone. •After supper the gentlenxan took. his leave in a very:play ful manner, and she then scolded the young lady for consenting to her own dishonour. ' Mr. Meg inquired if she knew who the man was ? 'She answered in she negative. :' Madame Trigni - denied her daughter being, as de -sCribed by the woman, who, she said, had received a handsome bribe , for conniving at the destruction of innocence. 1 Madame Fabian denied this, saying she had spoken 'the truth ; and, in language more energetic than elo quent, gave the retort courteous. Another French lady deposed to the correctness of Mademoiselle Trigni's conduct ; she was the very op posite of what was described by the woman, who had trumped up the-base story to screen her own iniquity. The young lady seemed overwhelmed with asto nishment' at the allegations of the woman, and yery affectingly denied it altogether. - Mr. DYER observed, from the woman's manner, he could not place implicit confidence is bet scat The Mhotsvasxs then closely queltiOned, with an infinite deal of trouble, ascertained froi accused woman, that the man bad said he.knew of the establishment of Psince Esterhazy : very willing to find him Out if she could. , Mr. DYER then discharged her, on her unde to apperr when called on. Hen:ignited to Trigni' that ne elms could be obtained ; but et inquiries should be made. . . . . . ;sl . i :, SPORTING INTPLLIGENCE. MANCHESTER RACES. • tisintstutT, fray 22.—(itldith Jae.)

It now' apps ars that a Quaker Lady (though not Was Ftv) did actually interfere to prevent the late great fight between Spring and Neat. The following is given as a correct statement of what occurred on the occasion. A fine old Lady, of the Society of Friends, with a couple of her daughters, came in their carriage to the Argot, at Martina" • rough . , during the time Neat was in training. The two daughter* • remained In the cSrrialge, at the door, while the old Lady nude bet, way info the - Angel. • Slop mcended the stairs, and found Beichert in a room, sitting by himself, Neat having retired to change hi* clothes. Tom thought the Lady had mistaken the apartment in the above inn, till she addiesfecl him " Thy name is Belcher, is it not % friehd ?" " Yes, Madam," was the reply.—Tom was in hopes to 'get rid of the Lady before Neat returned, but she waited till the Bristol hero made his appearance. " I understand, friend 14eat, thou art about fighting a prize battle. Dost d* not berme it is very sinful? Be advised, friend, and give it ttp." Neat urged that be was bound In honour, and that if he gave it up, he was likely to lose £5OO by it. What is £500; In compa rison with thy poor soul? Think of that, friend. Give It up, I beg 'of thee; and will see if the £5OO cannot be raked for thee." Afteran expostulation of nearly two boars, impressed upon Neat with tears, the old Lady retired without obtaining the desired effect. The Bristol hero, by way af consolation, thanked the old Lady for the interest and kindness she had taken In his fate, and promised her that be would not fight any more. It is said to be the intention of Spring to " tie up prize-mil ling," and attend to busineas. • . On the first deposit of 410 being made good at the Castle Tavern,' Holborn, towards the above match, Spring offered to • take Tom Belcher £lOO to £2O, that he drew first bloat; also, that Neat did not knock him down during the battle'; and, ulti mately, he should win the fight. "So much do I care," said Spring, " for the hard hitting of Neat!" These events have all • been verified by Spring. Mr. Jackson collected for the losing man on the ground, £47. The night previous to the battle, Spring, I:1 company with his backer, walked from Andover to take a view of the ground on . which the battle was to place, when Spring observed, "it was so beautiful a spot, that no man could grumble to be well licked upon it."
