By a letter from Bolegne, dated on Monday last, it appears that the weather has been most tempestuous alongthe French coast, during the last week. On Sa turday week a sraugglini , vessel was lost within a stone's throw of the Pier head; and we regret to state, that the whole crew, consisting of nine Englishmen and one Frenchman perished.

McitDER AT PATatett's-wett..---Tuesday mornings January 27, ut three o'clock, a party of men exceeding 20 well armed, knocked at the door of Mr. Christopher Sperling, a respectable householder of the village of Patrick's-well, in this county (Limerick), and demand ed a poor stranger, who had taken up his lodging there in the capacity of a schoolmaster. The demand was resolutely refused, on which the ruffians broke in the windows, and entered the house ; they then committed ever description of violence, broke the furniture, beat Sperling, his man-servant, and the schoolmaster, in a most cruel manner, and even the females did not escape their brutality. A young man, named Samuel Cross, who had been on a visit at Sperling's, in endeavourir g to keep the door cf the room where he slept, was shin through ;he head, of which he instantly died. Several Magistrates; with Major General O'Lochlin, attended at Patrick's-well, were depositions were received, which we trust may .lead to the apprehension of the perpetra tors. . Cross was an inhabitant of this city, between 20 and 21 years of age ; his body was taken to his afflicted parents in William-street, where they lately commenced business. The wounds which Mr. Sperling has received are of an alarming nature. He made a most determined resistance, and finding that a yeomanry musket he had, did not go off, he beat two of his assailants with the stock of it, in such a manner that they were taken out of his house by their comrades, and blood traced on the . road they went fair a considerable distance. The night of the above outrage, several notices of an illegal ten dency, were posted on farmer s doors in the neighbour hood. of Petrick's-well.—(Limerick Chronicle.) ivii.t.livetint.v St: ICIDE.—OO EleS I Ma.) nn inort 4 41 was held at the 011eetea Head, Fashium.street, Chaistelturch, before J.

Nir. Waitlenan said, he aas perfectly satisfied that the Comositwe had done all in their power tti give effect to the pon pose for which it hail been formed.

He considered that the parties who were too ready Is) propose such voter were most to blame. Mr. Waithmao neat emceed into a review of the various items of expenditure allteleol to in the report, and dwelt particularly on the star 11l i 11l expense tortured in the prison establishments ht . the Lily.

It should be recollected, however. that the city representative* evere but tour voices against n •arly the whole of Pailisiment.
