711 E A LUInv PACKET. The following particulars relative to the low; of this vessel, which excited, at the time so much sym pathy, were communicated by Mr. Everhart, the only surviving cabin pass.2tiger, on his return to rbiladdpltia. This marative establishes the fact, that the noted General Leti;hvre Destwattes was one of the sufferers:— IVlien the ship was thrown on her beam ends, a prodigious destruution took place below , the doors of Om state MOMS, 00 tables booed with iron, the furniture, were all destroyed sad Owosso into heaps. Many dam passengers were severely injured ; General Lefebvre Desnouttes had nno of Isis arms brukeu; Colonel Prevost was wounded in the face. She soon righted, and dia water which wan shipped in the cabin was let below, 60 that the passengers until near three in the morn ing were as comfortable au they could be under these distress ing circumstances. From the time of her shipping the lint sea at eight o'clock, until near three in the unorni•og, Captain Williams concealed their imminent dan.;er limn the passen gers, consoling them wills the hope of relief at daylight, and of the winds comiag, ott' the shore. They were thus saw-d much anxiety and distress tor the live hours preceding the total destruction of the ship. At about ten millote■ before three, the captain perceiving the ship to he missy ed and near the breakers, communi:mted the intellig,enoe, and undercut every one on board forward, which Mr. Everhart consider' was the most prudent thing that could be dune. Mr Everhart, from extreme weakness, was the last up the companion, crawling on his bands and knees. At the top be found Madame Gander and her clild in great distress t be assisted her as well as he cottld across the lumber an the denk, forward. The ship stra - tk• on two or three rocks before slue came to the reef w here she lost bar bolt ; and her docks, barely hanging together, were floated in.isle the reef, immense swells covering all the passengers from time to time, Ahant an hour after she crossed the reef, the swells in e eased iu bolt and frequentoy, Amongst the last persons he saw eh,e at this tilos was young Mr. Hyde Clarke, holding his wife ; and at this period the swells entirely covered the forecastle, and drowned all who were there. Colonel Prevost by great exertions reached the rook which Mr. Everhart had gained, but was washed off. Mr. Everhart had barely room to su e d 00 one 10/1. It was a rock that jetted out from the main land. Mr. and Mrs. Clarke's bodies were world and in terred, tad many of the passengers some weeks after were washed ashore, so much mutilated that it was impossible to rtoognise them. The sailors at en early period were in a state insubordination;ai many would not obey orders, and got drank. MEGA A D.

It is conjectured that the act was co ttttttt ited at a very late hour, as Major Nicholson, with a party of the police, passed near toe spot after eleven o'clock, and it was sub sequently passed sly Lieutenant Aim and a party of the bl Juliet volunteers, who patrolled that part of the mammy until lour o'clock on Monday morning. Part.es of the corps patrol the country for some miles round, aluioas ev,ry night since the Insurrection Act Was enforced. Upon one occasion the patrol arrested three persons under circumstances which induced Lord Carrick to send them into she county of Kilkenny for trial ; and the same party who had spent the iiigut in patroling, volunteered to escort the prisoners to town, a distance of nine miles. They were actpinied ; and so conscious were they that the patrol had only dune their duty io arresting them, and so grateful were they for such acts of kindness, under the circumstances she ()dicer commanding the party had it in his power to confer, that after their acquittal they remained in town until even ing, in order to accompany those so lately their punts to the country, and actually pressed them to partake of refreshments on the toad.

Cittin STExt.txo.—The following article appeara in •Georgia paper, under tho bead' of Milledgeville, dated April 4th : •' At the last term of Watson Superior Court, a man by the name of John W right, was tried tar aching as a alave, a female about two years old, i'.at had been placed in his hand, by its toothier fur nurture. it appeared in evidence that Lie child hal very Milk hair •rid complexion, and was imposed upon the purchaser as a Mulatto or Indian ; Mr it was repre sented to 111111 by the hell's, that it had bees obtained in the Indian nalian. As ion other crime iu the pens code applied to the case, W right was indicted fur false impri►onmeut, was convicted, and received the higheet pnnisliment Luown to this lest hirmoe. be bill of sale from 11•nght to the purchaser was introduced in evidence, by which he had doomed to per petiil servitude an ineiridual born as free as himself. 'floe following are the remarks of Judge Clayton at the time of passing the seutenee of the Court nu, J. Wright, have been indicted and Mind guilty of a charge, which, in its con sequences, will embitter Remy a future hour of your life. Yon are an old man, and iu that very term, with, reference to your present situation, is contained much cause for self reproach.— lostead of employing the riminaJt of a life, long preserved to ran i M deed* which woulu have taken from old age many of its pangs, you have indiscreetly stepped aside to the perpetra boa of an act, which, in point of wicked and cruel tendency, contemns ail description. In your conviction, the jo-tiee of your country is eatistied, and your crime, which before was odious, is now changed to • misfortune that entitles you to pity. It is therefore not the intention of this Court to mock your distress ; its motive is good. Your own reformation, and the usefulness of your example, is surely all that now belongs to your m'serable condition. And so Carus the one can be obtained, or the other can be profitable, you might to offer yourself • willing and an atoning subject of public: reproof. Yon will be shortly separated froth your aged wile, who, during the trial serous to have hung around you 'loader feelings of the mold lively concern ; and while yon leave her and your family, per haps to sulfering, you will he removed to a piece where you will be deprived of their tender consolations, and where no ailectionate hand will be ready to render t'.e usual comforts in sickness, or to soften the cares of a sleepless bed ; and where no cheering and domestie converse will be offered to beguile the medium of your servitude ; but where you will be sur rendered over to an association with the most varied and most abandoned profligacy, sod, what it still more to be dreaded, to the kuet r piereings of a restless renter,. But when you reflect that you will only suffer for a short season what you wished and intended to iullict for life, upon an innocent and helpless object, how just must you consider your sentence ! Yours will he a temporary hondia-,e, but hers was to have been endured through life, and perhaps throtiOs all her posterity: Where was your humanity when its tender age and more helo less sex were pleading with you for protection? Where was your conscience when you were about to violate generous con fidence t This infant had been placed in your band* by an un fortunate mother, fur nurture mid education ; and you were to receive your reward, if not in the sentimehts of an appioviug bosom, at least in the future service,' or the child. Tors bast you base most shamefully abused, by attempting to make a sieve of this friendless innocent. \1 bile the consequences of your crime ere to be deplored, so far as they reach to sour friends and fetidly, they o ill never perbepe escite a sympathetic emotion towards yourself. Your punishment will be peculiarly appropriate to your transgression ; but whenever it sorely press:s, remember you aimed a similar anguish at an object much less able to bear it. It is probable your cave will create bet one regret—that your per ishment cannot be greater." On IVeduesday last, as the Alexander light .ioat coach, from Liverpool to London, was passing through Warrington, the coach by some 'evident overturned : there were at the time three gentle;den and a lady 'outside, who wy ie th,own with great violence on the road ; the lady bad her collar-bone broken, and was otherwise much bruised : she was taken to Northwieh, where she now lies in a dangerous state. 'Doe gentlemen were also materially injured ; one had his hip dis located, another his head much bruised, end the third was likewise very much hurt. They were iu consequence unable to proceed larther than Barton. 't ie inside pasaengeis did nut sustain any injury. Tits RETORT CoußTitous.—A member of one of the learned professions was driving his dennet along the road at Tooting, in Surrey, when be overtook a pedlar, with his pack, and inquired what he had to sell. The man produced among other things a pair of cotton hraces—the gentleman paid the money, and then said, " You have, I suppose, a vise." 1"--e—s," was the reply, lieeitatingly. " I should Ike to see it." Aft,r some further &lay it was produced. " yly good fellow, all's right I see. Now as I ho not want these things, you shall have thern again for threepence." The har gain was struck ; but how surprised was the tourist to find a summons to attend the County Magistracy, sitting at Croydon. The gent,etuan was cm:sided in the full penalty, for sellieg goods in the King's highway without a hawker's license—he is a Inwycr!

Wnile acting in this humble capacity Li the north of England, a new org tr. was built our the parish church of Halifax, by Saetzler, which was opened with 3111 Oratorio by the well-known John Bates. Mr. Herschel and six other persons became candidates for the organist's situation. A day was fixed, on which each W ..1 to perfinm in rotation.— When Mr. Waithl. right, of Manchester, played, his linger was so rapid that old Snetzler, the organ builder, ran about the church, exclaiming, "He run over de key like one cat ; he will not give my pipes time to speak." During Mr. Wainwright's performance, Dr. Miller, the friend of lisrsehel, inquired tit him what chance he hail of foiling ing him ? " I don't know," said Herschel ; " but I ate sure that fingers will not do." When it carne to his turn, Herschel asceudcl the organ loft, and pro duced so uncommon a richness, such a volume of slow harmony, as astonished all present; and after this extemporaneoux eutfusion, he finished with the Old Hundreth Psalm, which he played better that his opponent.. , Ay, av," cries old Snetzler, " 'tish very good, very good inteet : I will la tis man, he gives my pipes room to speak" Herschel being asked by what means he produced so astonishing an eti:tct, replied, " I told you fingers would not do ;" cad producing two pieces of lead from his waistcoat pocket, said, " One of these 1 laid on the lowest key of the organ, and the other upon the octavo above, and thus by accommodating the harmony, I produced the effect of four hands instea 1 of two." This superiority of skill obtained Herschel the situ: ation: bat he had other objects in view. to suffer him long to retain it. STAOE COAClifi.An Act was passed in the last session of Parliament to amend the Licenses Act, as far as regards stage coaches; and, accorditn , to This act (3d Geo. IV. cap. 95), ull stage coaches must have plates like the hackney coaches. This amended act provides "that the owners or proprietors of any carriage or vehicle, carrying passengers fir hire at separate and distinct fares, after August St. with out, having a license, or without having plate or plates affixed on each door, or otherwise, will be liable and subject to a penalty of twenty pounds tilt every day sueli carriage or vehicle shall be so used, over and above the duties payable in respect thereof:" And a notice has been sent to each proprietor of each stage coach, or caravan, from the Stamp-office, " that the penalties imposed by this and the several acts of Parliament relating to stage coaches will be strictly enforced against the proprietor or proprietors of ail carriages and vehicles currying passengers for hire at separate and distinct fares, that may be discovered running without licenses or plates, or running a greater number of journeys, or a greater number of miles, or to other places than are specified in such licenses, &c " Every stage coach on Monday ap peared with a plate on the doors, having a number on it. Heretofore the numbers were first made un der the footboard, where nobody could see them ; and it was no extraordinary occurrence for a coach. Proprietor to run to coaches at least to one eitaiL:r. Some went without any number at ali. they would, as Eires offered, go to places not named in their licenses, or run more journeys or miles than were specified in them. Thus the revenue was in jured most extensively, and Were was no means of detecting offenders, without eeotenous expense. A handbill, printed on the Continent, in Three languaes, viz. English, French, and Dutch, or Flemish, was secretly posted up in various parts of Nottingham and Loughborough, one night in the latter end of last week. Its object was to entice away a great number of lace hands to a manulactury at Antwerp, which being an illegal proceeding, ac counts thr their being clandestba ly stuck tip in the night. The greater part of them were, however, pulled down early next morning; but still the idea of a great foreign rival has nut left any pleasing 1112 pression amongst the trade.
