A regular " Adelphi" drama, entitled Harvest Home, was produced here last evening, with a regu lar Adelphi " success. The plot of this drama is very simple. Cecil Derwent (Mr. H. Hughes) is the owner of an estate in Yorkshire, as legatee of the last proprietor, but his possession f the whole property is, by the terms of the will, only valid so long as a certain orphan girl, supposed to be lost, does not make her appearance. A wandering vagabond—a regular meld-dramatic villain—named Caleb Kestrell (0. Smith), knows of the existence of this girl, who has been placed under the care of an itinerant show man and his wife (Mr. Bedford and Mrs. F. Mat thews), and hopes to make a profit of the present owner of the estate by fixing a price on his secresy. Failing in this attempt, he shoots the Squire on a lonely moor, intending now to reap an advantage from the accession of the orphan Amy (Ma dame Celeste) to the property. The murder is laid to the charge of Frank Maridale (Boyce), a young farmer, who chooses to carry about a loaded fowling-piece as a sort of defiance to the 'Squire, notwithstanding the earnest solicitations of his sweet heart, Mary Everett (Miss Woolgar), who is after wards plunged into the deepest despair by his danger. Amy has seen the murder committed by Kestrell ; but the belief that the criminal is her father prevents her from avowing it. When certain documents dis prove this belief she reveals the truth, and is con firmed in her statement by the 'Squire, who having been merely wounded, suddenly re-appears, and hints that all difficulties as to the estate will be settled by an union with Amy. The acting of Madame Celeste and Miss Woolgar, as Amy and Mary, was intensely pathetic, and completely thrilled the audience. Paul -Bedford, as the showman, was more original, and less vulgar, than usual. He acts it better than he has acted anything for years, arid was ad mirably supported by Mrs. Freak Mathews, Wright's Cockney sportsman was a thing to revel in. Imagine a gent in a kilt lost at night on a Highland moor, and then the same gent laid up with cold and infiuensa, benight-capped and bedressing-gowned, taking all sorts of horrible physic, and abusing and shaking his servant—and imagine Wright as that gent, and you will have some faint idea of the glorious fun which gives a relief to the serious in terest of Harvest Home. The applause at the con clusion was enthusiastic, and for the next hundred nights at least there will be plenteous " Harvest Home" at the Adelphi. ONE CLOSING pRICEs OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK.

The Peers in attendance were the Lord Chan cellor, Lord Campbell, the Earl of Selkirk, Lord Blaney, and the Bishop of Chester. STIRLING V. MORAY AND OTHERS. The arguments in this part-heard appeal were com menced on this day week, and resumed on Monday last, and at the conclusion of the arguments on' behalf of the appellant, their Lordships postponed the further bearing till today, in order to give their Lordships an opportunity of considering whether they would hear the Counsel for the respondents. The case came before their Lordships upon an appeal from the decree of the Court of Session, arising out of a note of suspension presented to the Court and appealed from by Lieut. Charles Holme Drummond against William Moray Stirling, stating that he was about to be proceeded against by the defendant, to re cover of him 500 L with interest from the year 1841, and also to recover the principal sum of 250,480/. after the decease of the said defendant, with interest also thereon from 1842, until payment of the same, upon the ground of „an alleged purchase of an estate of freehold called Abereairney, sold by the defendant, on the 26th of August, 1841, to Lieut. Drummond, to which estate the vendor could not make a good and legal title as alleged by the purchasers, whereupon he prayed of the Court et Session to have a note of suspension passed without caution or consignation. The vendor had set forth that his title to the estate consisted in being heir of tailzie, and that as a purchaser might object to the vendor's want of sufficient title, it was stipulated that until it should be declared by a final judgment of the Court of Session or of the House of Lords, in any action of declaration, that Stirling had power to sell the lands, Stirling should not be bound to infeft and seize Charles H. Drummond in the lands which he had not been found to be entitled to sell and dispose of. It was also provided by the agreement for the sale, that if it should be determined by such deed that Stirling had not the power to sell the property, the sale should be null and void. In consequence, Lieutenant Drum mond had undertaken to pay the stipulated sum of 250,9801. for the properly, by means of instalments. The purchaser claimed that the vendor had failed to de liver a valid and effectual disposition of the lands upon his alleged inability to cut off the entail; in other words, that there was a possibility of issue in tail yet to be born. The Court of Session pronounced that "in the suspension they suspend the letters simpliciter and decern, and in the declaration find the pursuer not entitled to obtain decree in the terms of the conclusion of his libel, and assoilzie the defenders." From this decree the vendor appealed upon the grounds that the clauses in the deed of entail were insufficient to create a valid entail of the Abercairney estate under the statute of 1685, not having pointed out with certainty the conditions and provisions the contravention of which would infer the nullity and forfeiture of the rights of the heirs of entail in pos session. _ _ _ The LORD CHANCELLOR this morning, at the sitting of the House, gave judgment without hearing counsel for the appellants, affirming the judgment of the Court below, with costs. LAPSLAY V. GRIERSON. The further arguments in this appeal occupied their Lordships the remainder of the morning. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuncuELL.) COLLINS V. LEWIS. This was an action to recover the sum of 31. 15s. 4fd. for bricklayer's work. Defendant is a lady residing in Grosvenor-place. The work was proved to have been done in October, 1846, but the witnesses could not speak to having seen the defendant, but understood i❑ the neighbourhood of the house where the work was done (Prospect Cottage, Brompton), that it was kept by a Mrs. Lewis. There was only a man and woman servant in the house, and on the account being applied fur, the servant said Mrs. Lewis was out of town. The collector of taxes was called, and proved that the premises were rated in the name of Emily Lewis. On the part of the defendant, a Mr. Bolten, an attorney, was called, and deposed that the lease of the cottage was assigned to him in March, 1846, and that the persons re siding in the house were his servants. He saw plaintiff, and gave orders for the work, and afterwards told him that the bill was made out in the wrong name as " Mr. Lewis," his name was Bolden, and offered 31. 10s. He had mortgaged the agreement for the assignment. James Beckett proved that he was servant to the last witness, and who sent him to get a bricklayer to do some work at the cottage, and he went to plaintiff. Mrs. Lewis was not living there at that time, or up to March, when Mr. Bolden let the house. He was formerly in the service of Mrs. Lewis, but was not transferred with the lease.—(Laughter.) Mr. TnomAs contended that the tradesmen were not cognizant of the transfer; and Mr. Bolden had been in the habit of visiting the defendant for fifteen years, and occasionally residing at the house for days. The jury retired for some time, and on their return gave a verdict for plaintiff. ELLIOTT V. VINDEN. This was an action to recover the sum of 161. ss. 103., on a bill of exchange. The defendant pleaded that he did not accept, but evidence was adduced to prove that defendant had admitted the fact. A verdict was given for the defendant. There were three other cases undefended, each of which was for under 201, but being writs of error four days are allowed to apply to the Court above to deprive the plaintiffs of costs. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS.DAY.) Mary Ann Burton, the wife of a respectable trades man, was indicted for stealing a parcel from an omnibus. A conductor, named Evans, deposed that the prisoner was riding in his omnibus on the 27th of February, and got •ut at the corner of North Audley•street. Just as the vehicle was moving on, he missed a parcel out of the left hand corner. He ran after the prisoner, and asked her whether she had taken a parcel. She said she had not. He pulled her cloak aside and found the missed parcel under her arm. She was then given into custody. Mr. Clarkson cross-examined the witness, and elicited from him that this was the first time he had stated that the prisoner denied having taken a parcel out of the omnibus. The cross-examination showed some further diserepaneies of no very material importance. The prisoner had a parcel of her own. The jury intimated a wish to stop the case, but as we understand, Mr. Clarkson requested that he should be allowed to proceed. lie called several respectable wit nesses, who gave the prisoner a high character fer in tegrity and propriety. The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict elf Not guilty. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) BODMIN. The Bodrein Election Committee re-assembled this morning; Mr. Hamilton in the chair. Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAN was engaged the whole of the morning in replying to the arguments advanced yester day by Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, against the allegation of the sitting Members that the Committee possessed the power and authority to decide whether the recog nizances put in by the petitioners and certified by the examiner were good or bad in form. At the close of his address the room was cleared, and the Committee having consulted for a few minutes, Strangers were re-admitted, when The CHAIRMAN said the Committee had come to the following resolution : "That it is not within the jurisdiction of the Committee to decide the validity or invalidity of the recognizances." Mr. WORDSWORTH said, since the decision the Com mittee came to yesterday not to adjourn till Mr. Stuart Wortley's Bill had been passed into a law, that measure had undergone an important alteration, which gave the Committee the jurisdiction they had just decided they di:l not possess • and he must, therefore', protest on be half of Mr. Wild against the petition being proceeded with until that Bill had been disposed of. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE then opened the case against Mr. Wyld, as one of want of qualification. It would be shown that Mr. Wyld did not possess landed pro perty that yielded him 11001. per annum. The Hon. Gentleman represented his qualification to consist of lands and hereditaments, in the parish of St. James, Westminster, and in Stockport, in Cheshire; and as notice to produce the title deeds had been given to the Hon. Gentleman, the onus o: proving his qualification must rest upon him. In the event of Mr. Wyld failing to establish his qualification, he should be prepared with negative evidence to prove that Mr. Wyld did not possess any property either in the parish of St. James, West minster, in the county of Middlesex, or in Stockport.

LITERATURE. ANGELA. A Novel. By the Author of " Emilia Wyndham." Three Vols. In her preface to a recent edition of " Emilia Wyndham," the authoress of that justly celebrated work makes some very truthful remarks upon novels and novel-reading. She begins by asserting that the novel has taken the place once filled by the drama, that " in its different forms it may now be considered the universal recreati.,ii of mankind; and, so the novel, be what it ought to be (she goes on), it is surely not only the most harmless and innocent, but one among the most profitable and valuable of recreations." After dilating upon its value as a source of amuse ment, she proceeds to consider its moral influence. She agrees with " some fastidious men of taste," who " object to a novel written for an express moral pur pose, asserting that its perfection as a work of art is thus destroyed." And yet the novel-writer is to teach—but how ?—hy adhering to nature and paint ing human life as it is. " Human life—the grand model, the vast treasury from which all fictions must be drawn—produces no obvious arrangements of cir cumstances to prove a principle, or exemplify a maxim. But is human life, upon that account, a picture without a moral ? Far otherwise, to toe who read it uright it'i s one vast school of moral instruction. To teach men to read it aright is the business of the novelist." She proceeds to enumerate the necessary qualifica tions for the " honest, loving, novelist," and the good effects which his writings may produce ; and in all this she only utters her own panygeric, for she is, undoubtedly, one of the authors who paint life cor rectly, and teach men to read it rightly. Her fictions are not only , attractive in their style, and interesting in their stories, but ennobling and elevated in senti ment, and likely to be most beneficial in their influ ence. In introducing her Emilia Wyndham, she says, "I send her forth, upon her mission • the at tempt to remind her dear, but too often trifling, in considerate sisters, how noble a thing is a well dis ciplined heart, a righteous conscience, and a culti vated understanding in woman. How beautiful are duties consoientously performed I How wide spreading the influence of good !" The same re marks might serve to introduce Angela, for her mission is the same. The history of her life is another of those most encouraging and effectual lessons—the lessons of example. Her story is another illustration of the heroism that may be evinced in every day life. The charac ter of Angela, :natural though it be, is an ideal exemplification of the trials and triumphs of a human heart, acutely sensible to all earthly passion, but wholly obedient to an unearthly guidance, while in Augusta Darby, her friend and companion -heroine, we have an illustration of a naturally good and gene rous heart, swayed by every gust of passion, sup ported only by its natural goodness and generosity, and unaided by any higher principle. The theme is a most suggestive one, and very powerfully has its moral been pourtrayed. Angela, evidently a great favourite with the authoress, is very carefully and delicately drawn, yet we are almost inclined to prefer the portrait of Augusta, it is so natural and life-like. With all her faults and all her good qua lities, impetuous and earnest in good and evil, she seems, by the side of the calm and gentle Angela, like a living being beside a statue—not that Angela is a statue, she also is described as acutely sensitive and full of feeling, but the character of Augusta is peculiarly animated and life-like—one of those figures which seem positively starting from the can vass. The authoress of" Angela" has a style, or rather manner, peculiarly her own. She divides her chap ters into fragments, and these fragments into frequent paragraphs. Her style is most abrupt, but also it is most animated. She expresses herself in a frank and impetuous manner; we should esteem it natural, or even careless, were it not that the frequent breaks and the curious arrangement of the phrases give it a studied and almost affected appearance. Yet, while we do not exactly admire these peculiarities (for an authoress who possesses such brilliant talents has no need to descend to such minutiae to excite atten tion), they are not without some attraction. They give an earnestness and vitality to the narrative, and add considerably to the general effect. We do not propose to enter into the plot of the story; one incident will serve to show its character. In the third volume we find Angela, who is compelled to earn her own subsis tence, and support her young brothers and sisters, the companion and governess of Augusta Darby. Different as are their positions and characters they become friends—friends in the fullest sense of the term. Both have been unhappy in love, Angela having been betrOthed to a young artist, whom she mourns for dead, while Augusta has, from her child hood, been engaged to a cousin whom she loved with all the intensity of her passionate nature • but who has always appeared indifferent to her. Angela be comes the confident of her anxieties and sorrows, and tenderly sympathises with her. At last the cousin, who has been absent, returns, and volun tarily claims the fulfilment of their engagement, Augusta is overwhelmed with joy, her emotion is too powerful to describe, and Angela, whose own hopes are in the grave, rejoices heartily in the joy of her friend. She carefully assists in Augusta's toilette, and when about to meet her betrothed, all these little details are minutely dwelt on in order to in crease the interest of the catastrophe. The two girls descend to the drawing-room, and Angela recognises her long-lost lover. He and Augusta's cousin are the same ! Angela is not aware of this ; she loses consciousness on perceiving him. She is carried to her room, and Augusta attends on her, herself dis tracted with opposing emotions. Love, and jealousy, and friendship dividing her heart—a heart that only follows its own impulses—and is alternately swayed by every contending passion. All this scene of suf fering is very powerfully pourtrayed. Augusta stands by her friend's bedside; she at first turns away from the eager inquiries of the unconscious Angela, then, with a great effort, tells her the truth,—their lovers are the same. After one of the very frequent breaks occurs the following fragment, showing how Angela bore the tidings. This passage peculiarly exemplifies the author's style and sentiments—the style so disjointed and emphatic, the sentiments so beautiful and so na tural : " Honour to the heart! " Honour and praise to the affectionate and loyal heart! Honour, and praise, and thanksgiving, to the heart which can triumph over the contradictions of self interest, the bitter influences of jealousy and envy, the fierce ordeal of rival love, and can maintain itself equi table, sincere, affectionate, and true! " Honour to these two dear girls! The one, trained and disciplined by adversity, and purified and sanctified by piety. The other, warm, genial, generous, and high —the handiwork of prodigal Nature. Both just, both loyal, both brave, both in their noble disinterestedness raised far above all the mean influences, the fierce and stormy passions, the cruel dissensions, and the still more cruel alienation to which their unhappy circum stances were calculated to give birth. " They had parted that night with few words ; for what could either say ? But the warm embrace—the passionate strain of her poor feeble arms—with which Angela flung herself upon Augusta's bosom ; the flood of warm honest tears with which it had been bathed had melted all the ice of Augusta's heart ; and the deep, earnest, throbbing pressure, with which she had returned her friend's embraces, with her pale dark face wept in silence over her, told what she suffered and what she could forgive. Not one syllable was exchanged, for both their hearts were dull." We will not pursue the narrative further, nor say how the hero came to place himself in such an awkward position, nor which of the two heroines became ultimately his bride; all that we leave to the future study of the reader. The example chosen is one admirably well calculated to carry out the author's object, and show how in such a cruel trial a well-disciplined heart and lively spirit, like that of Angela, will support and comfort its possessor, while a heart only governed by its own good feelings, like poor Augusta's, will be carried away by every suc ceeding passion, and well nigh perish in the storm. CHARTIST AND REPEAL MEET- ING IN SALFORD. On Monday evening last a meeting of Chartists and Repealers was held in their Room, Bank-street, Great George-street, Salford. A man, named RIIIIARD ANDERSON being called to the chair, in opening the business reminded the meeting that on St. Patrick's Day the Chartists of Manchester and Salford had pledged themselves that if the Govern ment attempted to put down the expression of public opinion in Ireland, the Chartists in England would ro sist them to the utmost. He called on JOHN FLINN, who, in the course of his speech, said that the Government screened those butchering, murdering landlords, who had been, and would be, so long as they existed, the curse and bane of Ireland. It behoved the middle classes, then, to aid in exterminating all that class, who had proved them selves the greatest enemies of liberty, both here and in Ireland. Our Government had met the demand for reform by a State prosecution, by threats of the gibbet, and of butchery. lie would tell that Government, how ever, that that the first man shot in Ireland would be a signal to Irishmen in this count✓] to take that revenge which centuries of oppression and tyranny had sown in their bosoms—to take it upon the class which had given such cause for it. There were 50,000 Irishmen in Lon don, and at least 30,000 in Manchester—would they stand quietly by and see their countrymen butchered?— (Cries of " No.") No, the first man shot in Ireland would be the signal for levelling the aristocratic power of England with the dust. They wanted no outbreak, but would not sit quietly by and see their Irish brethren massacred. Saxon and Celt had no longer any differ• ences, and saw in common but one enemy—the canting, base, and bloody Government which now ruled this country.—(G rent cheering.) A young man named WILLIAst DIxoN said, if they were to demand and gain their rights, they must not engage in child's play. They could not do it by passing resolutions : the only way was by something stronger. The confederates in Dublin now said, " Do not petition, but arm, arm, arm !" The confederates of Manchester had passed a resolution, proclaiming that they would establish a national guard in Manchester.—(Loud and L long cheering.) Their echoing that sentiment proved to him that they were determined to go hand in hand with the confederates of Manchester and the Irishmen in Ireland. The only way to make an impression,on the Government was to let it see that they had something in their hands of which it was afraid. They knew not how soon the standard of democracy would be raised in England, and the question was, how they were to sup port it ? The time had come for action; and Mitchell said there was nothing like the forcible action of the pike, the bayonet, and the sword.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He thought the people of ' England were preparing, and he did not care how soon they were prepared. His experience and reading had shown him that when the people had a musket in their hand, and made a demand upon Government, Government had always conceded it sooner than they would without.. If they let go this opportunity they deserved to be covered with shame. He hoped the meeting would choose a committee to meet the confederates of Manchester, and consider the propriety of calling a large meeting in Ste• venson's-square on Saturday afternoon. JAMES BoYLE moved a resolution condemnatory of the Government prosecution of O'Brien, Meagher, and Mitchell, and pledging the,meeting to " assist their Irish brethren in their struggles against the British Govern ment." He asked if they had forgotten the fate of Emmett and Fitzgerald, of Frost, Williams, and Jones ; and urged them to tell the Government once for all that they would not sit tamely by and see people butchered, ur evt n sent to a dungeon.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then introduced a Mr. PATRICK RAT, who said, that if there were but thirty thousand men to assemble in Dungannon with muskets, Lord John Russell would send an express to say that they should have repeal of the union. The moment one shot was fired in Ireland, four hundred thousand Irishmen in this country would mount their muskets, and be ready to distract the attention of the Government from their country. JAMES GEORGE CLARKE, in supporting the resolu tion, said he saw no other means of avoiding a bloody revolution than by giving repeal to the Irish, and the charter to the English. JONATHAN PICKERING moved, " That in the opinion of the meeting all countries have a perfect right to a free and independent government of their own, and that it is unjust and tyrannical on the part of the English Government to withhold from Ireland that government which the majority of her people so earnestly desired," _ This resolution having passed, DIXON moved that the committee be in structed to co-operate with the Manchester Chartists in getting up a public meeting for the formation of a na tional guard, and said the time was come when they must break through the law, and he for one was determined to follow the example of Mitchell, and break through all law. The CHAIRMAN thought it folly to talk of being deter mined to break through the law. There was sufficient moral power in the country to gain what they were seek ing.—(Cries of " We must not trust to that"—" No, no, we have trusted to that too long.") WILLIAM DIXON said they had tried moral force, and it was of no use. The Government laughed at them. Give him the musket, and he would soon have the vote. —(Cries of" Nothing less," and continued cheering.) The meeting terminated at ten o'clock, giving a cheer for the Irish state prisoners, and another for Feargus O'Connor.—Manchester Guardian. IRELAND. DIJIIILINi MARCH 28.—Mr. Blake, of Myshall, the gentleman who has attained, through the praiseworthy exertions of Mr. Poulet Scrope, a somewhat unenviable reputation as an asserter of the rights of property, has been dismissed from the Commission of the Peace. This step, it is said, was taken by Lord Clarendon previous , to the affair being mooted in the House of Commons. THE CORPORATION. At a meeting of the Dublin Corporation, held this day in the City Assembly House, the Right Hoe. the Lord Mayor in the chair; Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P., handed in the following notice of motion-- " ADDRESS TO THE QtTEEN. " That on this day week I will move that an humble address be prepan d and presented in the usual mode to her Most Gracious Majesty:— " 1. Congratulating her Majesty, in the usual form,— on the birth of a Princess, and expressing our loyal sympathy on every event which may conduce to increase her Majesty's domestic happiness. "2. Humbly entreating her Majesty to direct her immediate advisers to pay particular attention to the wants and wishes of the people of Ireland at the present moment. " 3. Humbly suggesting to her Majesty that the only course to be taken, in our opinion, as dutiful and loyal subjects of her Majesty, to preserve the integrity of the empire, and to attach most devotedly to her Government the hearts and hands of the people of Ireland, is the re storation to Ireland as speedily as possible of her native Parliament, or, in short phrase, the total and immediate repeal of the so-called legislative union." Mr. O'Connell also handed in the following notice, to be moved in case the foregoing be adopted:— " That with reference to the motion already handed ini a circular be sent by the town clerk to the mayors, &c.., of the various corporations in Ireland, stating the nature of the aforesaid motion (should such pass this house), and inviting them to join us in this constitu tional movement, and to be prepared with deputations in accordance therewith." THE FRENCH ADDRESS. The report laid on the table at the last meeting of the Council, recommended " that the Lord Mayor and Cor poration should proceed to France to present the address adopted by the Council to the Republic of the country, congratulating them upon their late glorious strug g l es in the cause of liberty," having been read by the town clerk, ili. O'CONNELL, M.P., moved its adoption, which was seconded. The LORD MAYOR said any gentleman who chose might go, but it.would not be convenient for him to go.— (Hear, hear.) After a long discussion on the subject, the report was addpted, and his Lordship was allowed a fortnight to make up his mind. 'the Council then separated. Cbtrbf Mbition NORTHAMPTON RACES.

Robinson, M.P., in the chair, for the purpose of receiving the half-yearly report of the committee; after which the following votes were unanimously passed:-51. to the widow of John M`Donald, who lost his life in attempting to rescue the crew of the Pearl of Nairn, wrecked at Banff in a gale on the 17th of November last; 201, being 101 each, to the widows of two fishermen (leaving families) who lost their lives in the attempt to save the crew of the Llan Rumney, of Hull, wrecked on Ship Ledge, Isle of Wight, on the 30th of December last; 51. to a surviving fisherman who accompanied them, and 101. to Lieutenant Bulley's crew and the people who assisted in launching the boat employed on that occasion; 31. 3s. to Robert Williamson, fisherman, as a reward for his meritorious exertions in assisting to save the crew of the Britannia, of Ardrossan, wrecked near Thurso, on the 22d of August last. Mr. Robinson, in alluding to the vote of 101. to the boat's crew of Lieutenant Bulley, called attention to the gallant and meritorious services of that officer, not only in the case of the Llan Rumney, but also on several other occasions, by which he had been enabled to says no less than 48 persons from drowning, in consequence of the wreck of their vessels. He regretted, that as Lloyd's had on a former occasion presented Lieutenant Bulley with the honorary silver medal, they could not, other than verbally, further evince their sentiments in his favours but he hoped that his gallant conduct would be remembered by the Admiralty. The following is a statement of the services of Lieutenant J. Bulley, and his boat's crew of the Coast Guard station at Atherfield, Isle of Wight, in rescuing the crew of the barque Llan Rumney, of Hull, 14 in number (including one fisher man), which ran on a very dangerous reef of rocks called Ship's Ledge, near Brixton, Isle of Wight:— On the morning of the 30th day of December last, during a fresh gale, and dark thick rainy weather, Lieutenant Bulley with his men, eight in number, proceeded in haste to the spot, taking Domett's rockets. From the violence of the surf and being nearly high water, no boat could be launched, a distance of about three miles, and at daylight fired the first rocket, which did not reach by nearly 50 yards; a second was fired with the same result, the ship being too far off— about three cables' length or more. Lieutenant Bulley took his crew back to the station, launched his boat through a heavy surf, under shelter of the Atherfield Rocks. A fisherman's boat, large ;and buoyant, with three old and experienced fishermen, preceded him about twenty minutes, went directly alongside the stranded vessel, and was immediately turned end over by the violence of the sea, and two poor men drowned, named William Wearn, leaving a wife ali five children de pending, and John Heal, leaving a wire and five small children also depending. The third man was hauled on board the ship. Lieutenant Bulley (after endeavour ing to find the poor lost fishermen) pulled near the ship, but was only enabled to rescue five men, being driven from the vessel through the violence of the surf ; those he safely landed, and proceeded a second time, and pro videntially succeeded in taking off the remainder of the crew, including the captain and the fisherman. EMBLEM FOR IRELAND. — Different nations have their different representatives, derived from the animal creation. There is the British Lion, the Austrian_Eagle• the Gallic Cock. The emblem of Ireland ought to be the Ilysena, the creature—according to Wombwell 's natural history —" wot kindness cannot conciliate, nor hunger tame. " —Punch,
