They were thus eased pitch anxiety eaddistress for the five hours preceding the total deltruetinn of the ship, At about ten minutes before three,. the explain percei►ing the *hip to he enthayert and near the breakers, communicated the intelligence, and ordered every one on board forward, whicalt Mr. Everhart considers was the meet prudent tiling that could he done. Mr. Everhart, from extreme weakness. was the last op the companion, crawling on his bands and knees. At the tcp he found Madame Cornier end her child in greet distress t he asaieted her as well es he could across the !anther on the deck, forward.

Colonel Prevost by great excrticns reached tha rock which Mr. Everhart had pineal, but was wa►hed oil. Mr. Everhart bad barely room to stand on one foot. It was a rock that jetted out from the main land, Mr. and Mrs. Clarke's oodles were found and in terred, and Mikity of the passenger, some weeks after were wasted ashore, so meet) metal:if d that it was impossible to eree,mize them.

CHILD Sian Li NG.— . l he following article appears in aGeorgia paper, under the heed of Mill. rigeville, dated April 4th :-- t' At the last term of Watson Superior Court, a loan by the name of Julio A% right, was tuial for selling as a slave, a female child, about two years old, that had been placed in his baud, b its mother for nurture. it appealed in evidence that tate child had very date hair and complexion, and was imposed upon the purchaser as a Mulatto or Indian ; for it was repre sented to hum by the :teller, that it had beau ohisined in the Indian nation. As no other mime in the pare; code applied to the case, Wright was indicted for false impethonment, was consisted, and received the highest punishment known to this last offence, 'I lie bill of sale from tVright to the purchaser wan introduced in evidence, by which he had doomed to per petitel sirtitude as individual born as free as himself. The following are too remarks of Judge Clayton at the lime of passing the eentetice of the Court :—You, J. Wright, hare been indicted and found guilty or a ch a rge, which, in its con sequences, will embitter many a future hour of your life. You are an old man, and in that very term, with reference to your present situation, is contained much cause for self reproech.— hutted of empthving the rviiiiisnt of a life, lung preserved to you, in deeds witieli would have taken from old age inany oh its pangs, you hare indiscreetly stepped aside to the perpetra tion of an act, which, in point of wicked and creel tendency, eenicinns all description. In your ceutiction. the juiptice of your country is satialied, and your crime, which bony' was odium', is now changed to a mish-rtune that entitles you to pity. It is therefore not the intention of Ibis Court to mock your distress ; its motive is good, Your v,wis refornintioti, and the ssefulneae of your example, is surely all that mow belongs to your mieerable condition. And so far 31 the cue can be obtained, or the other can be profitable, yon oo,;lit to otter yourself a willing and 311 atoning subject of publin reproof. Yon will be shortly se7arated trom your aged wile, who, during the trial seems to have Lung around you melee feelings of most lively concern ; add while you leave her and your family, per. Laps to sulteritig, you w ill be removed to a place where you I will he deprived of their lender enesolations, and where no oftentinnate Meld will be ready to reader the usnal cot/cods is sickness, or to soften the caret of a stheplees I.ed ; and where no cheering and domestic, converse will he offered to beguile the medium of your servitude ; but where yon will he sae reodered Duel. to an association with the most varied and tuost abandoned prolbigary, and, what is stn: more to he dreaded, to the Loner piereings of a restless remorse. But when you reflect that yen will only suffer for a short season what you wished and intended to indict for life, upon an innocent and helpless object, how just must you consider your sentence ! Yours will be a teinpurery bondage, but hers was to have been endured through lite, and perhaps through all her posiesity: Where was your humanity when its trader age and more help. less see were pleading with you for protection ! N 1 here was your conscience when you were about to violet. generous rem (thence This infant bad been pinned in your bends by an UP. fortunate mother, for nurture sod education ; and you were to re, eit pitir reward, if nut its the sentimeets of an approving , 11030111,5 t !rant in the futeei services of the child. This trust you have most shamefully abused, by attempting to blithe a sieve of this friendless ineoeent. W bile iiie eotiatqueueee of your crime are to be deplored, PO far as they reach to your trends and family, they will never perhaps encute a •sympathetic emotion Inwards yourself. Yourpunieliment will be 'radially appropsinte to your transgression; lee whenever it sorely preseee, remember you aimed a similar anguish at an object touch lean Ole to beer it. It is probable your case will create but one regret—that your pithiebinent cannot he greater." tan W tdneseley last, as the Alexsuiler light met coach, from Liverpool to Leaden, wan passing through Warrington, the etiech by some accident overturned : them were at the time three gvnileuten and a lady outside, who were the own with grant violence no the road ; the lady bed her collar-holm broken, and was otherwise much bruised : she nes taken to North% Mir, where she now lies in a dangerous state.

Mr. H..rschel and six other persons became candidates thr the organist's sitnntion. A day was fixed, on which each was to perliwre rotation.... When Mr. Wainwright, of Manchester, played, his finger was so rapid that old Snetzler, the organ btoider, ran about the church, exclaiming, " He run over de key like ono eat ; he will not give ray pipes time to speak.* During Mr. Wainwright's pertitrmance, Dr. Miller, the friend of Herschel, inquired of him what chance he h a d of follow ing him " I don't know," said 11,msidiel ; " but lum sore that fingers will not dm' When it came to his turn, lierselA asccaded the organ loft, Pllll pn duced so uncommon a richness, such a volume of blow herratmy, us astonished all present; and after this extemporaneous eutfusion, he finished with the Old Hundreth Psalm, which he played better then his opponent. " Ay, uy," cries old Snetaler, " very good, very good inteet I will luf tit; man, lie gives my pipes room to speak " Herschel being asked by what means he produced so astonishing an akin, replied, " I told you fingers would not do ;" *ad producing two pieces of lead front his waistcoat pocket, said, " One of these I laid on the lowest key of the organ. and the o:lter upon the octave above, and dies by accammoduting the harmony, produced the effeet of four hands instead of two" This sup2riority of skill obtained Herschel the situ ation hat he bad other objects in view, to suffix him long to retain it. STAGe COAenri.....An Act was passed in the lest session of Parliament to amend the Licenses Act, as far as regards stage coaches ; and, according to this act (3tl (fen. IV. cap. 93), all stage couches most have plates like the hackney coaches, This amended act provides " that the owners or proprtetors of any carriage or vehicle. currying passengers for ~ire at separate and distinct tires, after August SI. with. oast having a license, or without having plate or pities 'affixed on each doer, or otherwise, will be liable and subject to a penalty oftwenty pounds fur every day such carriage or vehicle shall be so uses, over and aluve the duties peyable in respect thereufi" And a notice has bean scut to each proprietor of each stage coach, or caravan, from the Stampeoflice, " that the penalties imposed by this anti the several act , : Parliament relating to stage coaches will be strictly entiire t d against the proprietor or proprietors of all carriages anti vehicles carrying rassengere for hire at separate and distinct fures, that may be discovered running without licenses or plates, or running a greater number of journeys, or a greater number of aides, or to other places than are specified in suck lice!:ses, Ste" Every stage coach on Monday sp. peered with a plate on the doors, having a number on it. lieretolore the numbers were first made tot• der the footboard, where nobody could see them ; kna it was no extraordinary occurrence fur a coach proprietor to run to coaches at least to one n u mber, Some went without any number at all. 11c:sides, they would, as fares offered, go to places not nanicxl in their licenses, or run more journeys or miles than were specified in theta. Thus the revenue was jured most extensively, and there was no means of detecting afenders, without e: (vinous expense. A banal:ill, primal un the Continent, ia three languages, viz. English, Frenv:), and Dutch, or Flemish, was secretly posted tip in various parts of Nottingllian and Loughborotk-.h, one night in ti:e latter end of Led week.
