I LORD CARBERRY. A t n ine o'clock, on Monday evenin z last, at RODISH'S Hotel, died Osortrix Evans, baron Cie oY, • f th e kingdom of Ireland. His Lordship herr wa s in his thirty-ninth year, and in the year 1792, ma rried Miss WATSON. daughter of Colonel War ," who amassed a 'considerable fortune in India. The first Baron was created by Groans: the FIRST, i n t he year 1715. His M A.lxsTY bestowed thishonour on him, on account of his extreme beauty and manli ness His Lordship was considered the finest man of Lis day. The late Lord was truly amiable, and a man of the mildest and most gentlemanly winners. Mein two years since, his Lordship was lending on his estate near Northampton, and bad the misfortune to burst a blood-vessel, and was considered at the time in extreme danger ; about fifteen months since he broke his arm, which brought on a lingering complaint, consider ed by the faculty as a decay of some internal part. A few weeks since his Lordship came to town, and has been under the care of Dr. BAIL te, and other eminent physicians, who considered his Lordship so i d r ecovered as to sanaion his return to the coun try; last Friday was the day fixed for his depar ture with Lady Caansis WV, for his seat in North arapconshire ; preparatory to the journey he rode in Hyde Park t on Wednesday and Thursday last was In good spirits, and saw company each after nooe ; but on P siday morning he proposed to Lady Causer to postpone their departure until Mon day, which her Ladyship acquiesced in. On Satur day morning, about one o'clock, his Lordship was seized with a violent sickness in his stomach, and rang the bell for his servant, who immediately at waded, and, on finding his Lordship had again bum a blood vessel, sent for Doelor HAMS, who administered some medicine that relieved his patient so much; that be sat ep, dined, conversed, and was in tolerable spirits; bat on Sunday evening , aar = too k place, which terminated fatally. His j *p dying without issue, the title and estates, which are very considerable, devolve to his uncle, the Hon. Jolts EVAN., of Dublin. INDIA. At a meeting of the principal Officers of General Wellesley's Division of the army. assembled in Co lonel Wallace's tent, on the 26th of February, 1804, a proposal was suggested to present General Welles ley with a token of their esteeth, accompanied by an appropriate letter. Colonel Wallace being voted in the Chair, and Captain Heitland. Secretary, the following proposals were unanimously agreed to : " To preterit General Wellesley with a hanri , ome go'd vase, of the value of 2,000 guineas, with an onsvcriptioni, returding the princip.ll event so decisive of thin campaign in the IX.lan, and rieuoteig the prevent from the Officers to Gea-rai \Venus. " That such Officer+ who wish to subscribe to tine above, do give iu their ihuoes, and meet tui tit, 2:416 of Fcbruatv.^ At a meeting hela-at Perendah, the 28th of Fe bruary, it was agreed th.rt the following be the in scription on the vase, proposed to be presented to General Well.sley. 0 Battle of Amy..

The Vakeels of I)outar Row SCHAD' A. and the Rajah of CAL A roue, expressed a wish to see the Company's slap Elpir lutes,. Capt. ?Amulet's Couto, went on board that ship in May last, ac c..mpanied by the Town Major and principal inha bitants of Bombay. The Garrison saluted these noble strangers as they were going on board and on their retuni. L/pbrastelie, and all the vessels, both belonging to His 1 1 .1sa6sry and the Company, were decorated with the colours of various natinns, and the neutral vessels in the harbour followed their example. The guns were worked in presence of the VaLcels, who expressed much astonishment at the expertness and dexterity evinced by the British sail ots. A very elegant enteitaiument was provided on honrcl, and the company returned at a very late hour, high gratified with the treatment they had met with. COLT MAN AGA, Ambassador from the Fische of BAGD•D. accompanied the Vakeels. One of the finest ships ever built in India was lattnelttel in Bengal early in April last, from the slack t t Mr. Tuontsos : she was named the ties,. • 1.4;e, and having In ports on the upper deck, and being every way strong built, is well calculated either for a large merchantman for the Ensile trade, or a cannily frigate or privateer.

FIRES. • Last night, between the hours of eight and nit o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the workshop of Mr. Brodie, a carpenter, in Swallow-streer, - corner of Vigo-lane and Sackville-street. The shop being situated at the rear of the house, the fire was not immediately discovered. The flames con tinued to rage with great fury for near an hour be fore water could he procured ; and as the workshops contained a quantity of light timber, great appre hensions were entertained for the adjoining pre mises ; but, happily, the engines played with such effea, as to completely subdue the fire in less than an hour, when it was extinguished with little more loss than the bunting a part (An the rear of Mr. Btodie's house, and Mr. French, the baker's, adjoining. The Phoenix, Royal Exchange, Globe, and some other engines, arrived a few moments after the alarm was given. The JAMei ' S Vo lunteers, under the command of Major Downs, preserved good order, and prevented much depre dation. We are informed that the accident hap pened through the neglig,.nce of a boy, who was left to attend to a glue pot, which boiled over. Between seven and eig'.t o'clock on Monday even ing last, a most alarming fire broke nut in the stable of Messrs. Travers and Esdaite, in Que e n street, Cheapside. It was fit sr discover ed by some of the clerks, V. 1.) perceived an unusual quantity of smoke issuing through the flooring of the warehouse, im mediately over the stable , , at the hour of retiring from business for the evening, and while in the aB of shutting up and securing the doors: upon further examination thi y found the stable in flames. which threatened des ration to every part of da se exten sive warehouses and sugar houses. The danger now ' became alarming, and incalculable mischief must have tollowed, but for the almost momentary at tendance of the fire-engines, some o! which were proceeding to assist at a fire whir.:: had broke out in the ne;glibourhood of Horsley-down, and there also being an ample supply of v. Ater, in about four hours the fire was sufficiently got under, so as to prevent further mischief to these bin's concerts, containing property to a very considerable amnant, and which, bat for the sit gular and ins! toramous assistance given, must loci ..bly nave been destroyed, together with a larr ',onion of the adjacent buildings. Most for tuna,' I y it was molter night with the firemen of the 'Boyar Exchange A .surance Company, the Sun. the British, and sonin others, by which means they were the better enabled to render timely and i!treetual aids and, in a short time, the greater number of the engines in London were present. When the flames had sufficiently subsided, so as to permit the stable door to be opened. a new spectacle was discovered. Four of the mill-hones and a goat were found suffo cated, lying on the ground.: the hair of the poor animals was complerels•burned off, except that part which was :overed by the harness of ten of them, and the skin left entire : two of the horses were lying over each other, and the goat across both; a great part of the rack, rn Inger, and some of the hay and straw, were consumed, but one part escaped without any damage whatever. The accident is supposed to have originated from a can dle having been carelessly left in a lenthorn, As the. latter was found much burned, and that part of the stable. where it usually hung, bad been most con sumed. It was at first imagined that a great quan tity of the sugars in the warehouse had been consi derably damaged ; but we understand only a small portion was injured by the water, end not by fire. Had the conflagration taken place at is late hour of the night, the consequences must have been dreadful. On O= same evening, at an earlier hour, another fire broke out in a house. in Ghat-court, Queen street, Horsley-down, which caused much alarm in that neighbourhood. The wife ofi one Redner. corn porter, who resided in the house, went from home. a few minutes before the accidaat happened, to purchase something on the opposite side of the street, leaving a little girl about four Yeats old be hind her. In a short time the flames increased to a dreadful d, grec, and there being no engitiei within some distance, they threatened speedy destruaion ; hut, by the very great exertions of the people of the neighbourhood, who carried a quantity of water . in buckets, to throw on it, its progress Was stopped in e great measure, and confined to the ground-floor. where it first broke out ; and, with the assistance of the fire engines. which shortly after arrived, it was soon comphaely extinguished, without having done any material injury to the premises; but, shocking to relate. when the firemen bunt into the apartment, they discovered the little girl, burned to death, stretched upon tie- Iran, from whence it was Coe eluded, her el, a:lis had caught ire, and communi cated to the room.

Last night, t'.e holiday folks were gratified by the performance of their favourite drama, The Castle Speller Of course the pit and galleries were crowd ed at an early hour, and the usual noise and cor. fasion of St. Stephen's alight prevailed amongst the Ode. The part of Reginald in the play was to have 4seen perfermed by Mr. Les, who was to have sus tained tebsrloels Delany, in the farce of The leAnsan in London; but an accident occurred, which put it to tally out of the power of that sitar to perform ; the part of Re4tisald Was in consequence given to M•N• sat t, and in place of the intended farce, Raising the Wind was substituted. • The melancholy occasion of LEE'S not appearing was such that our readers will riot be offended at our communication of the particulars of his son's death, by fire! On Sunday morning, the child, a fine boy, be tween five and six years of age, was left playing in the drawing-room of Lee's lodgings, in South Anne-street, by his grand parents, who went nut to prayers; unfortunately he approached too near the fire, when the flames caught his cheque bib, which he endeavoured to extinguish by putting it between his legs; which caused his pantaloons to take fire, and they being lined with calico, made no blaze, but continued to burn : as the child did not see any blaze, he thought it eras out, till the heat forc ed him to scream ; his father, who was in bed in an adjoining room, heard him, and ran to his assist ance, when he found him in tire midst i , lflames ; the fire having caught the tuckers of his shirt, his father immediately extinguished the flames, by covering him with the carpet, and then stripped him ; but he was much burned at the bottom of his belly and hack. Medical aid was instantly obtained; but the fright was so great, that about five o'clock on Mon day morning, he was seized with a convulsive fit; another at ten, and a third at two, which terminated his existence. What adds to Mr. Lee's affliCtion is, that he was his only child, his daughter, eleven years of age, having sliest two month, since. Mrs. Lee has been only ten months dead. Orders arrived at Cork, opt eauirday morning, from the Adjutant-General's Office, for discharging the heave baggage of the 15th, e:rth, and !eith re giments, which we stated some time since to have remained on board the transports in the river. The public, we are sure, will read, with the greit est satisfaCtion, of the arrival of Madame Dussek, Miss Tyree, Mr. Phelps, and Signora Guerini, in the last packet. All the other performers engaged for the Winter Concerts are expected to be in town to-morrow ; and on Saturday there will be a grand rehearsal of the first night's performances. So sanguine arc the expedations which have been ex cited, so numerous are the attraCtions provided, and so general is the curiosity to witness and enjoy their eff.ol, that perhaps the city will be more crowded the ensuing week, than ever it has been remembered. From all parts of the kingdom, the Nobility and ! Gentry are coming up to he in town for the first Concert, which is fixed for Wednesdays 9th January, 1305. To many traders in the retail business, and shop keepers, tads will be the most unfavourable Christ mas they ever experienced, owing to the great public inconvenience in the want of small change. The receipts of goods have been considerably less, and if many compositions with creditors had not taken place, the bankruptcies which would have occurred consequence must have been numerous. By a letter received from Donegall on Saturday last, we learn, that the poisoner has yet eluded the k vigilance of his pursuers. It will astonish the pith lie to hear, that erroneous information could be given to the officers of .Justice merely for the pur pose of favouring the escape of the greatest monster that this or any other country has ever produced. Mr. Logan, the chiet Peace Officer, returned to town on I hursday last from Dunegall, without be ing able to apprehend the poisoners of the poor blind men of Simpson's Hospital, th6ugh he made a most indefatigable search. Extraft of a letter tiom Cork, Dec. go.—" The vessels lately chartered by Government, which have excited so much conjtEture respecting a grand expe dition, are, on inquiry, we understand, taken up for the conveyance of troops to such part of the United kingdom as necessity may require, in case the cue my shall make any partial attack against these countries." A squadron of His Majesty's ships of war has arrived off Berelsaven, for the prom:Boil of the coast. A pilot-boat boarded the Princess Royal at anchor, at which time three large ships were in the offing, and the Thandlerer beating up to windward into Ban try Bay. Since the arrival of the above account, we are sorry to learn that the Thundreer had got ashore, but under what circumstances, we have not been made acquainted. klis Majesty's ship Dreads the End Spawner cutter, the MeSI44 tender, and a transport, sailed from Cove on Monday morning to her assistance.

The following is a detailed account of the circuir stances attending the loss of His Majesty's ship the S'Ve : " cue Reese, nsc. t 6. " It was noticed some days since that the SeLerr, lying in Grouville Bay, had suffered very much in a heavy gale of wind ; that she drifted, touched on a rock, and injured her bottom, broke her rudder and one fluke of her sheet anchor, which was supposed not to have been a good one. At the first it was intended that she should have gone to England to be repaired. Unfortunately she did not ; and a violent gale of wind, with a severe frost, set in from the N.B. which blew direcqly on shore—a shore withoet shell , ter, and full of dangerous rocks. Wednesday night. the 19th instant, at one o'clock, she cut away her main mast : next morning her mizen. About o'clock she was seen driving on shore, having parted all ner anchors. Never was a more anxious scene. The tide was out, which left a strand of near a miie from the redoubts. Here were assembled. in fearful agitation, all the military in barracks at Grow/ill* eonsis:ing of fifteen hundred men, besides suer.: of . intuit:eta:es of the island. Among thew was (*ion madcre the Duke che Bouillon. He was uldig. ed to witness the f.tte of his ship. Almost clew on the sands, she WAS seen drifting on the blocks and craggy points of a rock. Every exattion was made by the Commander en board, Lieut. D'Au verve (brother to the Prince), to tui a her head ofi. It was truly distressing to see the unavailing efforts made to get up something of a sail to the point of die foremast that was standing. As she came near the rock, the terror of the speitators increased. Insen sible to the most piLecinf m c e td and violence of the storm, and up to their in water, they stone almost holding out their hands to the people on hoard, so near did the ship drift, as if they could catch at and save them, while she continued tiring gun after gun, for assistance she could not rocrive. such WAS the fury of the winds and waves.that ine vitable destruelim seemed to await the unfortunate .rew. By the uncommon exertions of the military, some boats were got, and dragged along the sands with great difficulty, and then attempted to he, in de spite of the elements, forced to sea. Officers and men were seen up to their waists in water, striv ing in this virtuous contest alto shnitid arrive with the succours first. but in vain. use linats were obliged to return from many vain attempts to reach the ship, which was now fast on the rock. In this dreadful suspense, two boats from the dto ,aerie (who had rode out the storm, and was Irrflkl4 ward), reached the Seer-n. Ropes .were g.:.t to dill shore, and by five in the evening, every creature (above 300) was landed in safety. One man only remained on board, and would not, it is said, quit the ship. About eleven &deck at night, she got off the rock, and the spriest tide can ried her close in to the shore. Next day (Friday) the wind continued almost as fierce and cold as before. Par ties from the lath and 69:h, to the :menet of thee hundred men, were employed all day in get ting her stores out. Saturday the same.—She is now quite a wreck, and lies, when the tide is wit, quite dry. It is not supposed that she ever cin be gut off. It was very tortmeste that, in all tit's die astroits period, no life was lost, nor did any accident happen to the men ; they are mostly lodged in an empty barrack at Grouville.—During the ogorm a cutter was driven on shore, and was near lasing lost. Considerable fears were cote. :alit .1 for the At. mews she, however. rode out the storm ; and on Sist!lT day, the weather being moderate. she get r' and to St. Hiltar's—The Bay of Grouville, retiliy Bay, and All the coast opposite to Custance, Bc6. is now without a ship of war of any deocrintion."
