PPATTMAL REGISTER. MACH et By the private letters from HolLind, we learn that commerce, which has so long languished, begins io discover signs of imptovetnent. The Dutch mer- Chants, nemlly speaking, have suffered less than in any ot!.er part of the continent. A system pre vails among data's of giving little or no credit, to which they in great measure, have owed that se.: curity. A steam boat has been built at Trinidad to ply between Purt Spain and San Fernando, touching at Point a Pierre; she has three cabins, for the white, coloured, and slave pessengers, and was to have commenced her trip on the 21 at of December. His Majesty's ship Spy arrived at Malaga on the 20th of February from Algiers and Mutton, with an Algerine Envoy on board, having presents for hi, Royal Highness the Prince Regent. Dwariiic Scene.—Extract from the report of the trial of the Trimlestown cause, lately decided in Dublin in favour of Lord Tritulestown:—" Mr. Dillan's depositions were then proved and read, as well as those of the Abbe O'Dwire; they mentioned particular ciremnstance that occurred at the late Lord Tritule•town's house, one evening when Mr. Dillon was there. Amongst the company present was a handsome young nobleman, Lord Herbert Stewart, who was engaged in a political argument with I ord Trimlestown, which became so warm, that Lord Herbert Stewart stood up in a viol e nt pas sion, and •wore he would instantly quit the house, and never enter it again ; but Lady Trimlestown went before him, and with betided knee supplicated him to go: on seeing this, Mr. Dillon could not refrain limn telling Lord Trimlcstown, that he ought to be master in his own house ; upon which the storm of Lady Tritalestown's rage immediately fell upon Mr. Won, whom she loaded with abus , , until by the happy intervention of the venerable Bishop of Rhodes, then Chaplain to Lord Tritules. town, harmony was restored. Lord Trindestown sat down to a card table ; Ludy Trintlestown and Lord Her,ert Stewart went over and seated them selves on a soft, where they kept up a whispering conversation kir the rest of the evening. In the course of the Tritnlestown cause, just Gn i:lll,-d in Dublin, cue of the i - ounsel asked a very respectable witness whether he had ever been a Catholic priest, apparently for the purpose of throw ing discredit on his testimony. Lord Norbury, in his charge to the jury, observed upon it: He could not avoid expressing his disgust at Counsel's asking such a question; he was astonished beyond measure thsit any advocate in the world should suppose it pus sible that such a jury could be influenced by such a motive. "If added the noble and learned judgo, " this country did become so intolerant. I would become an emigrant myself: nay ! I did not care fmy head were struck ofl." The Asia, from Havre to New Orleans, was at Bona-Vista on 3d December, baying been plundered, and the passengers robbed of their clothes, &c. by an Insurgent privateer.

I I'M' I Of a Letter (rota a pas+ett_t•r on board the ship ILutlet, Clarke, to the owuers to Glasgow, dated 13,1- list Loch, 1\1..1'01 6 : _ II is tt iii. pill I have to inform von, that your ship Handel, Captain Clarke, snuck on a rock called the Plad °them ise named the Foul•ground yesterday morning_ at halipast four o'clock, about a mile and a half from the New-light. Shortly after she struck, a signal gun was fi'ed, as every prrsou on board was of opinion she would break up, or fall off the rock into deep water. About six o'clock, shortly after day-light appeared, we observed i ttttt tense multitudes of boati coming off to our assistance ; however, DO more sere allowed to come on board than were thought stillici,!it uo g've the Captain iidUrtnation in regard to the ground, ill it et ery exertion might be pot in force to drag her off. We soon found, that all our harce could not keep them oft the ship's deck until we had recourse to threats and tire-arms; and they at last bawled out trout their boats, they would see in the space of two hours what I‘lls aboard of the ship. Froin these thrLats it was conceived . that they were determined to take 0011/113.41111 of the ves sel ; I theiefo.. - e weut on shore, the land being three attics 114/111 the thip, and rode to Portauey, to consult with the agent for Lloyd's, about the safety of the and try, if possible to secure a Revenue cruiser to keep oil the natives. Ulan my coming back to the ship again, I found his Majesty's cruiser Wickham, Pears, had come to the ship's assistance. As soon us the Cap tain went on board, with part of his etcw, he bundled all the Irishmen into their bouts, and commenced light catiog she vessel, by starting the water and throwing a great deal of ballast over board ; at same time, loading the cutters with light goods, together with the boats of the cutter Ilarwick, Captain Mutely, woo had likewise come to nor assistance, and by six o'clock at night had discharged about 300 packages of dry goods, chiefly trunks; they could ton convey heat y packages bunt the sot f, and the cutters could not appro.:eh her 11'0111 the reef's , although the ship had been lightened consideta• bly, she would not float ; orders were given to work all nigh' with the ship's crew, and a mate and a number of men front each of the cutters, by throwing ballast net/- board, and by immense labour for f.:4 hours, they stle• reetleri in getting her off at tilt o'clock this 1111 l ing.— The Captain of the Wickham ordered his snip to pro crad to this Loch, cutters keeping comps ay in case of ally accident. in eonseywnee of her utakitig water.

This amiable and oxcellent young man was born nt Walsall, Staffordshire, March '22, 1792, and departed this life at the same place in the house of a relative and friend. This event was improved in an address to young people at Wal , all Chapel, a short extract from which may perhaps nut be unacceptable to our juveniht readers " And now, my dear young friends, cannot We learn solite.import.int lesson at the totals of this our departed brother? Shall it be said that be has died in vain, or that the voice of Provideam has spoken to ua in vain? His curly and unexpected . dttath has . read :thatch in all your ears the affecting sentiment in the text, All flesh is grass.' Yint are now in the bloom of youth, in the prime ofyourdays, in all the height of your pleasing unticiPations; btst See hew death cuts down the fitirest flower that blossoms in the family, and writes upon his coffin the melancholy truth, • the glory of man is the flower of grass: Now, then, whilst- you are . retired from the-fasci nating charms of time and sense, and at the grave of your friend contensplatiag the oft-fat-gotten, the • much neglected truth, the mortality of man; whitit the scenes of death are familiar to yotif minds, let us press home to you:. Lon.:cienee the importont inquiry, What security have you fur the neat hour? What grounds have you to expect that your life, above all others, will be spared? Examine the bills•of mortality, look at the ravages of deaths on • every shawl, see the king of terrors seize in his impartial grasp persons in the extremity of life, in ,the middle stage, and in the pride of youth. Let the lolling bell, the yawning sepulchre, and the dreary coffin speak the language they are designed to speak, and from the grave, if from no other, let the wise man be beard, ' Boast not thyself of to-morrow,' &c. Oh ! foolish people and unwise,' to build your everlasting all upon the rain expectatioi of to morrow; to suppose that death will always 'paw by yourselves to strike your neighbour, when perhaps the fatal arrow is now pointed ut your breasts whieh must bring you to the dust. Whilst we tremble fur your presumption we feel for your danger, and breathe the spirit and the prayer of Moser, ' Oh, that you were wise, that you understood these things, that you would duly consider your latter end."
