The Willa Journal of Monday contains some fur .ther particulars of this melancholy event, the truth of which, it says, has been ascertained. The vessel did not answer her helm well ; the wind vas light, and rather against the packet; and the fatal error in the Captain was his not dropping anchor silien near the current. A survivor states that the consternation became general when the danger was first announced; they were then nine miles from Holyhead, and about one and a half from the shore; the wind brit( altogether failed them, and they were forced forward by the current, going at the rate of eight knots an hour, against the Westmouse Rock. Mr. Hore and another Gentleman (Mr. Mac kenzie) were, at half-past nine o'clock, at breakfast in the cabin; and on the first intimation of alarm, which was scarcely credited, all came on deck; the small boat attempted to avert the danger, and tow the vessel clear of the rock, but in vain; she struck at ten, a.m. All yielded themselves up to despair, and the affrighted crew received in the boat some who were fortunate enough to reach it at this crisis. A few of those-onboard in vain essayed to bail here Mr. Hore and Mr. *Kenzie laboured with buckets for some time; of the numbers thus dreadfully situated, none manifested so much coolness and self-possession, so mach intrepidity and humanity as Mr. Hore, be di rected and soothed, by turns ; his noble disposition displayed itself strikingly, for while surrounded with horrors, while encircled by the terror-struck and shrieking females, and helpless infants, while sinking into the jaws of death, he alone was calm and serene. ' At list the sea covered the deck, and numbers were overwhelmed. The Captain plunged inta the waves, ' and was picked up. Mr. *Kenzie laid hold of a large hamper or crate, containing eggs, several of which were on the deck, and kept afloat. Mr. Hove and a steerage passenger grasped another crate ; the small boat bad by this time reached the shore. After being in this horrible situation about 20 minutes, as Mr. Hore's last companion states, Mr. Hore ex claimed that he was becoming faint; he asked if any boat appeared in sight? he was answered in the ne gative--" 0 ! GOD ! he cried, no succour, no aid— ;my limbs arc benumbed and useless—l can hold on i no knger!"—he fell from the crate and never rose again. In about 20 minutes after Mr. Hore perished, the small boat returned, and rescued Mr. M.Kenzie. No Gentleman named Colonel or Major Kelly pe rished ; but another, in whose pocket a bill endorsed with the name of Kelly, was said to resemble Lieut.- Colonel Kelly. This gave rise to the late rumour.— There were thirteen passengers saved, ten of whom were put on shore by the boat on the nearest coast.— One, of gentleman-like appearance, who was under stood to be a respectable Liverpool tradesman, escaped with the Captain, and proceeded on to Liver pool last Wednesday with him. Three deck passengers were saved by the boat, and put on shore at Holy head. There were 29 dead bodies in the Church at Holyhead ; 34 were washed on shore at the part of the coast above alluded to. On the body of a Lady found at Holyhead, were discovered letters directed to Mrs. A. W. The father and brother of Miss Atkins, . cf the Theatre Royal, were also among the sufferers. Among the cabin passengers reported to have been booked at the Office, is Mr. Bennisoit, of Bachelor's• ualk—fortunately for that Gentleman he was not ois board. Mr. Coote was also reported, erroneously, to , be one of the sufferers. But this Gentleman, who was booked as a cabin passenger, happily altered his in tention to go to Liverpool, and left the Hibernian Hotel, on Tuesday morning, for Holyhead. The Batts of the luckless packet were visible yesterday ; •sotraltrutrks and packages have been preserved. A few Papers from Virginia, of a late date, have cane to hand, from which we extract the following: "GALLANT Darawcz.—Vre have obtained the fol.

BOXING, BULL-BAITING, tee. The Commissary-General's ;amity bull afforded some excellent sport yesterday, at the five nines/oh on the Edgewart road, when some of the beat bred buffers bad the wind tossed out of them. Thefenciers mustered strong, and a subscription purse for a fight was b0(111 got together. It produced a very merry one be tween Moak, and Kilburn Ton, his travelling name. Tom was much heavier than his adversary, and although Riddel fought up hill the whole time, yet he made very severe play. Ile drew first blood at setting to, but he was grassed for it. 2. A manly stand up round, in which the claret flew about in streandets. In a rally many blows were exchanged, and Tom sheered himself master of the weaving art, but his adversary slipped through his hands and fell covered ith claret and glory. 3 and 4. Tom's strength served bbts . materially in these two rounds, and he led, kept the best of It, and threw his than a heavy fall, but his exertion set him piping and heaving at the pompeg. dr Riddel placed a lunging blow on the tip of the sorrow, whirls set Tom shaking his nob. The blow was followed by aright handed one upon the mark, which sent Tom down sulky. In the four following rounds there was much maply.anilling. Give and tate was the order of battle, with equal advantages., but they sheered - want of training. 10. Judges began to pick out the Winner: Riddel had brought dove his adversary's-weight, and took the lead. There was; however, considerable punishment en both sides, but in each round Tom got weaker, and in the siateentkround Riddel wan the battle by a hit in the wind.

He commenced this arduous task at eight o'clock yesterday morning. Betting is in favour of time. The pedestrian is in his 58th year. EASTER MONDAY. Easter Monday the grand Annual Hunt took place, which was attended by •the greatest field of sportsmen of all ranks that there has been this season, who assembled at Farnham Common, soon after nine o'clock ; and a little after ten a fine deer was turned out of the cart for the day's diversion, which set off with great swiftness across the country to the right of Amersham. In the course of the chace the bounds got scent of a fox, which they followed for some time, and by so doing, the deer got a great way ahead. and they were obliged to take the hounds back ; they then renewed the chace ' through the luclosures and fields by the Earl of Bridgewater ' s and Hemel Hempstead ; the deer was taken at Gaddesdeo, in Hertfordshire, a few miles to the left of St. Alban's, after a run of upwards of four hunts, theist 36 miles from Windsor. Many of the sportsmen gave up the Chace ; sane went 20 miles, and some 30 ; many fine horses were obliged to give up the chace. Some lost their shoes ; others tumb and broke their knees.

It appeared' Trinti the' irate:gent - 4;W Name, • 'who openettilie Cast:44las the-plaintiff, who is a farmer, antt she de-' fendant, who is a butcher, are both inbabitants,of the. parish of Sheerharn, in Surrey. During the time that the plaintiff Was attending - Diiine Service -- attil riiit Chervil on. Christmas-day, a brother of the de-' fenclartn • along with several ocher idle boys; .went to the plaintiff's house, and, after creating a consider able riot before it, concluded their sports by breaking his windows. The plaintiff not altogether admiring this mode of treatment,, applied to the Magistrates 'for redress ; and the consequence of this application was; that the brother of the defendant was sentenced to pay a fine, and to be imprisoned till that fine was 'paid. From this circumstance it was supposed that the malice had arisen, which had induced the defen.' dint to commit that assault upon the plaintiff which led to the present action. On the 27th of December last, the defendant went to the plaintiff's house, and, after telling him that his father was very much vexed by the proceedings which had been taken against his brother, proceeded to complain of the conduct of a maid-servant of the plaintiff. , The plaintiff said he would call the servant to answer for herself. The defendant said that it was quite unnecessary to do so, and began to be veil' abusive. The plaintiff then de sired the defendant to leave his house; the defendant refused, and in consequence the plaintiff gave him two or three gentle pushes. The defendant then left the house, and the plaintiff wishing to see him fairly off his premises, accompanied him through a meadow which was in front of it. Whilst they were crossing the field, the defendant turned round on the plaintiff, offered to tight him, and without any farther notice, hit him a blow on the right temple and brought him to the ground. Whilst the plaintiff was in this pro strate condition, the defendant struck him violently about the body, and continued to do so till one of the plaintiff's servants-came up, who heard the defendant say—" Now I will go, if you will let me."—Undef these circumstances the plaintiff came before a Jury of his country to demand of them, not extravagant damages, but such serious damages as would pre vent the defendant from recurring to such acts of violence in future. Sarah Ensor, servant to the plaintiff, deposed that on the 27th of December last, the defendant, or the butcher, as she always called him, called on her mas ter between three and four o'clock ,in the afternoon r that she heard them conversing very loudly, though she could not tell what they said; that she afterwards hard her master tell the defendant to quit his pre mises, and on his refusal gave him first one„ and then another gentle shove; that she then saw bdth parties go into the meadow;' that when there the butcher challenged her master to fight, and attempted to take off his coat ; that her master said—" I don't want your coat off—l want you out of my premises;" that the butcher then struck her master over the eye, and that she, being frightened, ran to a man-servant who was thrashing in the barn, to call upon , him to assist her master; that the butcher had lately offered her first one guinea,.and afterwards two guineas, if she would pot appear as an evidence against him. On her cross-examination, she said that she never had heard of her master sending any boys to prison for killing sparrows—that she never heard the plain tiff say to the defendant "13—n you and your father too ;' that the defendant did go against the wall aftei one of the gentle shoves that her master gave him, but she could not tell whether it was in consequence. of it ; and that she never had said to anybody that her master had regretted that he had not knoiketi the butcher's head off. Being desired to point oar the parties to the action, she pointed out two .mes. one in stature about five feet ten; the other aboutfotir feet ten; each with a bulk proportional to his height. Great laughter was elicited in Court when she pointed out the lesser man as the person who had committed the assault. Thomas Mercer deposed, that being called upon to run and prevent the butcher from killing his master, be unto the place where the squabble was going on. On arriving there, he found his master defending himself against a blow of the butcher; shoitly after his master fell, and the butcher clic:Lail that • he could to keep him down. Whilst on the ground, the butcher repeatedly said, "Now I'll go, if you will let me." Mr. Serjeant Tansy, for the defendant, contended that it must be quite clear from the evidence of the dther side, that hit client had been unwillingly en 'gaged in this contest.. Indeed, it was not likely. that a m a t of the diminutive siaeof his client would ever attack such a giant as .the prosecutor was relatively to him. Even if they were of opinion that his client had been the aggressnr, he thought - that, • under the circumstances Which had been proved in evidence, one farthing damages would - meet the justicehol.the.case. The Cate, Dwitou thin - summed op tbe, evidence, and the Jury immediately teturned a ver dict for the plaiatili—Datnates thie Shilling. CROWN'tID& •._ Joseph HoOper and Chokt Boititick4ciongi men of 'respectable appearance, wereindieted for. assaulting Robert Johnson, on the King's highway, in the parish of St.Olave, Southwark, and taking from his person. a watch and seals, and ss. in money. There were 'six other indictments against the same prisoners for.' differeeent offences of the same nature. • i It appeared in evidence, that on Sunday evening, the 28d of March, the prosecutor was. walking with. I a young -woman in a footpath between.llerniondsey and Pecithatn,when he was overtakeniry th ree men. One of them sized him by. the collar, put.a pistol to his head, and demanded his money. He begged they would not take his.wittch. The nun. who held, the pistol insisted upon having it, and snatched it, whilst the, other men held him by the.collar. They took about ten shillings from his pocket. •The assailants then ran off. The man who had the pistol lookeclround, and told him to return back to Peckham whence he came, and threatened to blow out his brains. In con sequence of the information he gave, the two pri soners were apprehended about a week afterwards. The prosecutor would not swear to their identity, but expressed his belief that they were two of the persons who had robbed him. Upon searcl3ing the lodgings *title prisoner Bootlick, fir of six • watches were found, one of which turned out to be the property of the prosecutor. Ut some coats, in the same pri soner's premises, wet found two huded • • the fact, that lie was , concerned in the robbery, and surrendered himself willingly. A good chara.ater was given to both prisoners by .several reputable persons, who, bad long knowirthero• Air,Buon GRAHAIf summed up the evideneo,for th4ry, who found the prisoner Bonnick Guiliy— Deggit. 'The other prisoner was found Avit The prisoners were again indicted for a similar robbery, in stealing from the person of Benjamin , Coles a metal watch and 20s. at Bermondsey, on the 21st of December. •The prosecutor stated, that he was a clerk in the Bankof England, living in ..Ivaany row, Camberwell ; and on the evening of the 2lst December last, he was walking with a female in Ber mondsey-road, when two men came behind hiip, one . , a short, and the other a tall man, and seized him by the collar. The taller man demanded his blunt, and at the same instant presented. a .pistol to his head. Not knowing the meaning of the word blunt, he hesi tated; upon which the same man said " Re quick; . you know what we want : one word and I'll fire, by G—d." The prosecutor then took a few shillings out of his pocket, and gave them to the robbers. The I tall man then said, " Has he a taller ?", The shorter man then felt his fob, and drew forth a metal watch, and both then ran oti. Looking at the pt isoners now. they bore every resemblance to the men %Ito robbed him on the night in question. He spoke more posi tively to the taller man, who was the prisoner Hooper. He had seen the prisoners nine days after the robbery. His belief now was, that the prisoners were the per sons who had robbed him. Indeed be had no doubt as to Hooper. At Union Hall, he bitdoktly said that he had every reason to believi that Hooper was one of the men. Evidence similar tot at given in the last case was also addu - ced in this. I.4.Nyaich was never afterwards found. The Jury found hith.prieoriers Not Guilty. The prisoners were again severally indicted for similar robberies irf„Alr. Jekin Rhein, a student of Guy's Hospital, .and a Mr. Henry HarieY, but for want of sufficient proofs of identity, verdicts of Not Guilty were recorded. The prisoners then.pleaded guilty to an indictment for an assault with intent to rob Mr. Henry Marsh, at Rotherhithe. The prisoner Hooper was sentenced to seven years transportation ; the other prisoner re ceived sentence of Death., . , • MONMOUTH CRTItiIiAL COURT, AIAR.C.H.3I.

At that time Mr. Justice LEY, who then presided in the .C;itninal Court, ex amined the child, who was the principal witness for the prosecution, respecting her knowledge of the nature and obligations of an oath, anti thinking she was not then competent to give. evidence, directed the trial to be postponed till these 4sizes, aod.or tiered the child to be in the meantime instructed. in the duties and the sanctions of Religion.
