CORK, JANUARY 5. ' - • Thursday night last, the ship Cambrian of London, CIIa.DRAKEi from Lisbon to Liverpool, with a very valuable cargo of tobacco, &c. put into Dunmanus Bay, during a heavy gale and thick weather ; her anchors soon gave, and she drifted close to the western point of Carbery Island, in such imminent danger, that the crew at one time deserted her. She re- mained, however, in this situation till twelve o'clock on Sunday night, when the violence of the weather forced her ashore ; but the very spirited.exertions of HUNGERFORD BALDWIN, Esq. and the boat's crew, succeeded in getting her off ; and availing themselves of a shift of wind in their favour, ran up the bay, and anchored in a place of safety on Monday morning, with loss of anchor, cable, rigging, sails, boat, &c. The West India fleet in our harbour waits only for a fair wind to proceed to sea, under convoy of the .' CHARYBDIS and CHALLENGER. Wednesday arrived the SYBILLE, Capt. UPTON, from a cruize, with a prize. A few days ago, in the Bay of Biscay, she fell in with an American schooner, which had been captured about a month ago, by a French ship of war, and was then close in with the French coast. She had a Midshipman and four French sailors on board, be. sides the American Captain and two of his crew. The EMERALD, Captain MAITLAND, proceeds on a cruize, as soon as the weather moderates.

At Martinique, in one month, We lost 600 men ; a n d a t A nt i gu a, the ships of war have suffered in loss of men, very great in deed. The Abercrombie had 250 in the Hospital at one time, of whom 52 died ! The Ringdove has like- Wise suffered greatly. The Gloire frigate has lost many men, but as yet no officers have died belonging to her. The Glamen brig of war, Capt. Ptexeoan, was lost in Carlisle Bay ; her people were all saved by the boats of the Gloire frigate. Captain CARTHEW and his Officers deserve every praise for the promptness in Which every assistance was rendered. is Dr. *Minnie, Surgeon of the Naval Hospital, a man universally belove d, has been superseded by Dr. CONCUR, who lived only 14 days after his land ing. Young CURRAN, a Lieutenant in the Navy (who tame from England with Dr. ConNtion,) a son of the , celebrated Counsellor in Ireland, has had a dreadful attack of the yellow fever, but is now pronounced out of danger. gi The non-arrival of the packets from England), several being due, causes much uneasiness here, and leaves us quite in the dark as to affairs in England. A ship, 42 days from Halifax, arrived here on the 7th instant, and reports that Admiral Sir ALEXAN• DER COCHRAN! and squadron was still there, their flag ship, with her masts out, when he sailed. Prepara tions are making at Martinique, on an extensive scale, for an attack upon Guadaloupe. " Mr. JONES, Surgeon of the Gloire, has been ap . pointed to the Hospital at Barbadoes, but he in less than three days was attacked by a fever violently, and the situation is filled, pro temisere, by Mr. MOR TIMER. " Died this day of the yellow fever, at the Royal Naval Hospital, Lieutenant ANDREW . REDDIE, of the Gloire frigate. P.S.—Since writing the above, two packets have arrived from England." ST. ANNE'S, DARBADOES, NOV. as. The active and zealous preparations making in this Island, in aid of the expedition to Guadaloupe, keep us alive, though much regret will be felt at the departure of troops, whose conduct has endeared them to every islander. The division intended to em bark from hence is composed of a light brigade of the Royal York Rangers ; two companies of riflemen of the Royal West India Rangers; and two flank com panies from the Third West India Regiment, under the Command of Lieutenant-Colonel STUART, of the West India Rangers. The rendezvous, it is pre sumed, will be Martinique, and the Light Brigade, are expected to embark in a few days, as by them is first meditated an attack on St. Martin's, which' it is presumed, will surrender on the appearance of our troops, and require but few left to garrison it. I should think the General would not run the risk of weakening his force by detaching any part of his force until the event of our attack of Guadeloupe is known, as it would probably facilitate the surrender of St. Martin's. The Governor and Military Commandant at Guadaloupe has strengthened it by every possible means, and the most obstinate resistance will be made ; even the negroes have been armed and train ed to military discipline. The inhabitants are seri ously distressed for provisions, and by the last letters received from thence, we were assured of their fa vourable disposition towards the English. The total number. of troops which are to embark from this island will not exceed 1200, but the whole force, it is said, will be composed of-upwards of 8000 men.— And if they are all in as high health and spirits as the troops which I have mentioned, no doubt can be entertained of the result of the Expedition. We were last night visited by a tremendous hurri cane, which threw a heavy swell into the Bay, and drove the GLOMER guard-ship from her moorings, on shore, together with many small craft. Every assist ance has. been rendered by the military of the island to get the GLOMER afloat, but without success, nor do I think she will be ever got into deep water. We have had much boisterous weather of late, but the troops are in general healthy. The delay and irre gular arrival and departure of the packets has excited great anxiety in the island, and prevented my corre sponding with you so regularly as I promised. basis, on Thursday last, it — ivas resolied; after .a loth inscinsiiii that a separate Petition should be resented in th e House of Lords, *by Earl Coutiin:. Nam (or, if any thing intervenes to' prevent him, Earl GREY, or the Bishop of NORWICH, will be se leeted),' and, in the CoMmons; by Sir En. O'BRIEN. The County has chosen Okansellor O'GoaMAN as their Secretary, and have deputed him to 'transmit and take care of the Petition. Counsellor 0 1 Goemam made a 'very brilliant and energetic speech; which lasted upwards of two hours. Tuesday last, an adjourned Meeting of the /lonian Catholic Inhabitants of Galway took place at the Tholsel (WALTER JOYCE, Esq. in the Chait), for the purpose of drawing up a Petition to the Imperial Par: Lament, for a total Repeal of the Laws at resent in 'force against their Loyal Body. The Petition and . Resolutions having been read, it was unanimously .agreed, that the Petition should be transmitted to 'JAMES DALEY, Esq. Representative for that town, to be, by him, laid before Parliament ; and that the County Members, the Right Hon. D. B. DALY, and RICHARD MARTIN, Esq. be requested to assist in the support of the same. day heating Appeals, Court was occupied the whole day in businets of this 'description ; but the two following Were the bnlycues [ irorthy of notice: 4 The parish of Mary-la-Bonne appealed * / most the settlement Neale, a pauper, who claimed a sit. tlement under his indentures of apprenticeship. The pauper's master was a Freeman of London, but te sided in the parish of Mary-la-Bonne, when the pau per was bound, who having served about six months 'ran away, and did not surrender himself for upwards of a year. The indentures were cancelled before the Chamberlain, and could not be produced. The ob. jection to the settlement was, that being the appren• tics of a Freeman, the indentures should have been I enrolled, which had not been done, and therefore, could not gain the pauper any title to a settlement. On the other hand it was contended, that the pa*. per having served a competent time (40 days), ac cording to Act of Parliament, he was entitle d a settlement let what might subsequently become of such indentures. The want of enrollment might affect his claim to his right of franchise, but could not avail in the question of settlement. The Court was unanimously of the latter opinion, and the order of settlement was affirmed. The next was an appeal from the parish of St. James, W.estininster, against the same parish (St. Mary-la-Bonne), upon an order for the removal of a pauper. The pauper (aged 71) had been a respecta ble and opulent tradesman many years in the latter parish, but being unsuccessful in some building spe culations, became reduced, and was latterly sup ported by an old and faithful femile domestic, who had been in his service upwards of 25 years. This servant resided in the appellant parish, from whence it was contended on the part of the respondent parish, that the pauper had been properly removed. On the other hand it was contended; that a mere temporary residence, under the roof of a servant who 'paid the rent herself, did net constitute a settlement of the pauper. The Court were of opinion, that the settlement in St. Mary•la-Bonne parish was fully made out, and the appeal was affirmed. THE PERSIAN AMBASSADOR. •• GRAND ENTERTAINMENT. Yesterday the Court of Directors of the East India Company gave an entertainment to his Excellency MIRZA ABDUL HASSAN, the Persian Envoy. The ball-room of the City of London Tavern was fitted up in a style .of magnificence truly oriental. The arrangements for the dinner consisted of a table across the top of the room, from which three arms extended to the bottom ; they were most tastefully decorated with pillars, aglies flowers, coats of arms, trophies, artificial fruit, &c. all executed most beautifully, and raised on fames with various devices in loose sand work. Among which were portraits of the Kings of Persia and England • his Excellency's arms and crest, the Royal arms anicrest, with artificial flowers, gar lands, &c. suspended from canopied temples ; the whole forming a grand and. picturesqbe coup d'ail, standing twenty feet high. In the corners of the room stood four bronzed figures .on pedestals, of Bacehanalians and Veswis, suppkting gerandolqs twelie feet in height. A beautiful transparent pair*. ing, representing the Kings of Persia and Great Bri tain seated on their Thrones, was exhibited in tine roone, and excited much admiration. The band be longing to the brigade of Royal East-India Volun teers attended in the gallery in full dress uniform, under the conduct of Mr. EI.EY. . OLD BAIL Er. Yesterday Bfizabeth Tillbrook, alias Price, stood ca pitally indicted for privately stealing in the dwelling house of a Mrs. Price, various articles of wearing apparel, value upwards of forty shillings, the pro perty of a person named Strattan. Amelia Strattan, a woman of the town, depoeed, that she was the wife of aperson of that name, now on board one of his Majesty's ships, and that she ,' • lodged in the house of the prisoner's mother, in N6r- • folk-street, Mary-la-bonne ; and that on the night of' l the day stated in the indictment, the articles men tioned were stolen from her drawers by the prisoner' - who absconded immediately, and was not again heard of .for five weeks, when she returned ; and upon her • coming to the house, her mother apprised the prose cutrix' and she was taken into custody. She then confessed that she he'd committed the robbery, and the property was traced to the possession of it yenta who had purchased the duplicates from the prisoner, who was also one of the frail sisterhood, and had aided her in disposing of them. From her own confession, the Jury, without a mo ment's hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but re commended her to mercy. The following were convicted of felony : H. C. Large, for stealing a five pound note, the property of Walker. R. Henri', for stealing a chest and 591 b. of tea, value MO, the property of J. Layton and W. J. Thompson.

James Britain and Samuel Solomon: stood indicted for assaulting John Cotton, upon the King's h i ghway, putting him in fear, and taking from his person, against his will, one dollar and three shillings, his property. The prosecutor stated, that, on the 26th of Decem ber, he went, with a few companions, into the Har lequin public house, Drury-lane, where he sat down , to drink ; he was then accosted by the prisoners, who offered him and one of his companions a shilling • each ; they refused !. upon which one of the prisoners presented a pint of porter to the prosecutor, who drank of it ; the prisoners then slid that he was en listed —they blew out the candles—the prosecutor suspecting some bad intention against himself, went from the house, and was attacked in the street by the prisoners, who knocked him down, and took from him the sum specified in the indictment. Mr. GURNEY, for Solomons, one of the prisoners, examined two witnesses, who stated, that the prose cutor had, by his own acknowledgment, no money about him, on the night of the 26th of December, and that he had been, himself, in confinement for fe lony ; that he had run away with a large piece of beef from a stall in Westminster ; and a prostitute, who was with him, at the time, had been tried for the theft. Several respectable witnesses were called, who gave an excellent character of Solomons. A good character of the other was also given. • • The Jury gave a verdict of Not Guilty. The following were also acquitted, viz. A. Eierett, W. Currie, H. Spelman, (indicted for forgery) Sarah Janes. C ` larl~.C. Johnsen, W. Wallitty, and Hannah Watkins-.de last three were ordered to bedetained. ^ T The cards of invitation stated the time of meeting to be six o'clock, and shortly after that period most of the visitors were assembled in the saloon.

The band was placed at the foot of the stairs, playing " GOD save the King" as his Excellency ascended . - , Half an hour passed in the forms of introduction, and the usual interchange of compliments, when the company proceeded to the ball-room and took their seats, the band playing a grand march during their entrance. During the pause between the removal of the cloth i and placing the dessert (which consisted of the most rare fruits) upon the tables, the Chairman gave— ,4 The King," which was received with enthusiasm, and succeeded by the national anthem of a Goo save the King ;" previous to which 44 Non, Nobis Do mine," had been executed, in the most impressive manner, by Messrs. Taylor, Hill, Leete, Evans, and the younger Sale, who during the evening, by seve ral excellent solos and glees, contributed most power fully to the entertainment of their illustrious and noble auditors. A number of loyal sentiments and toasts were suc cessively given from the Chair, amongst which were, " The Queen and Royal Family." " The Prince and Princess of Wales." " The Kins of Penia." " The Natural Union bet;ireen Persia and the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland." After the health of the Persian Ambassador had been drank, Lord WELLESLEY, in an energetic speech, stated, I he was charged by his Excellency to offer his ac knowledgments for the ,honour paid, first to his Monarch, and next to himself. He gloried in avow ing.the truth of the toast which gave the natural Union of Persia and Great Britain. He trusted Persia would long remain the bulwark to guard the' interests of Great Britain and of the East-India Com pany. The PERSIAN AMBASSADOR then gave-6 , The East India Company." Upon Lord WELLESLEY giving the health of the Chairman, and prosperity to the East India Com pany, the CHAIRMAN, in an eleg ant speech, returned thanks for himself, and added his sincere conviction that the prosperity of the Company and of the Coun try were so united, that they could never be severed. • At Hythe Barracks, the 4th January, a very rich silver-mounted Sword, with Belt an i Saber-cash, with a suitable inscription, value One Hundred Guineas, was presented to Lieutenant-Colonel NORMAN MAc- LEOn, by the Non-commissioned Officers of the 3d Battalion 95th (Rifle) Regiment. The battalion being drawn up in line, the Non-commissioned Officers moved to the front, when the Serjeant-Major of the Battalion presented the Sword, and spoke to the fol. lowing effect : SlR—ln the name of the Non-commissioned Officers of the 3d Battalion 95th (Rifle) Regiment, I have the honour to present you with this Sword, as a small testimony of high respect and esteem to you as their Commanding Officer.
