The vessel is a total loss, and the eargo nearly so. We are sorry to add, that e►e fear all the crew have perished ; '2O of the bodies were interred in one grave yesterday, and two more have come in this day. Front the state of the weather, no boat has yet been able to make the island, to save what part of the cargo may be there►►ns but the moment it moderates, this will be. done. A great many letters hare been found On the strand and brought to us ; and it speaks well fur the honesty of the people in whose neigh. bonrhood the wreck occurred, that one very mu tilated letter, containing six IL Bank national Dotes, and five guineas in gold, was safely lodged -*jar us." Extract of a Letter from New Ross, dated the 2Uth of Decrmber :—" There has been a very awful wreck on the Kivors. A fine West India man, very large and valuable, named Demerara, from Demerara, to Liverpool, struck on the night of the 16th, and almost immedia►ely went to pieces•: Twenty of her crew were buried in one grave on Saturday, at Cullen's Town, and two snore on Sunday—not one saved that we know of ! The vessel is totally lost, and the cargo nearly so. Boyce and Greaves are doing all they LIM, but they had not, when I left them yester day, been able to make their way to the Kivors." ."—(Dublin Commmial Gazette.) The Captain and crew of the ship Sophia, of ,Bristol, of 366 tons hurthen from Chaleur Bay to Bristol, were providentially picked up by the Mi nerva of Aberdeen, after being in a most perilous situation, and reduced to the necessity of sharing t turnip, the only support they had for 48 hours. The Sophia, ot; their leaving her, was nearly full of water. Considerable damage was done among the ship ping entering Sunderland harbour. Nineteen yes— eels were on shore within the liarbour,and two be hind the North Pier. Three lost their lower musts, and at least 12 their bowspi its, With Much .elatuage in their hulls. All those on shore have ' , been since got off. The Lord Normanby, WESTLAKE, of Scarbro', Was lost near Lowestoffe on . Friday se'nnight ; the crew, 10 in number, all drowned ! The" suf ,ferers were seen from the shore, and were heard calling out for help, but no assistance could be rendered them, as the life-boat was not in a fit ' mate to go to sea. A yawl was put off, but be fore she reaehed'the vessel, she turned over, and the unfortunate crew were seen no more. The roaster, who belonged to Scarbro', has left a wife and four chifdren. . Two vessels were stranded on the Glamorgan shire coast during the dark hazy weather lately So prevalent. The John, of Ilfracombe, 130C.811, inaster, for Newport, in ballast, was driven ashore and lost near Newton, an the night of the 17th inst. The crew,' who previously left her in the boat, lauded near Aberasun. A brig, of 370 tong, the Bounty-hall, of Liverpool, Capt. ROBERTS,. homeward bound from Calcutta with a valuable Cargo, was stranded in the night of the 19th inst. bear Whitford, about 17 miles W. of Swatisea. The magistrates in the neighbourhood, joined by many inhabitants of the western pat t of Gower, repaired to the spot with moth alacrity, and no time was Last in making preparations for conveying the cargo t o a place of security, and a considerable part was safely landed. Should the weather con tinue moderate, hopes are entertained that the vessel will be got off the next spring tide, but she Las already sustained considerable damage. We lave much satisfaction in reporting, that the best disposition has been manifested on this occasion by the surrounding population, and that no at tempt whatever was made to plunder. As a mat ter of precaution, a p);ity of the Swansea cavalry Marched down on Monday, who continue to aid In guarding the property. The brig Bristol, bound from Newport to Liverpool, was cast ashore on Friday se'enight, between Barnsley-island and Pencilian, Carnar vonshire, and all the crew (save a boy) were con liigned. to a watery grave. The crew, consist ing of the captain, his son, and five seamen, remained in tire brig after she had struck about two ,hours, when they ventured into the small boat. Whilst directing their coarse towards the Shore, the boat was upset by the heavy breakers, and all of them except the boy were instantly lost. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. EXCISE.

Stn—l am little inclined to believe COBBETT at any time ; but I should like an explanation as to the offer which he states Mr. Rose to have made to him of half THE Sox. At present, it rests on the hearsay of his Friend and Creditor, TIPPER.-- " Dead men tell no tales," quoth the proverb: and it is equally true, that they can contradict no falsehoods. Time, and place, and person, are well chosen : a conversation between a living man who cannot be trusted, and a dead man who cannot be heard, is a pretty testimony truly ! Nevertheless, sir, the Public expect your strong notice of the charge. FLINT. *,* 'Ye are much obligedlo our Correspond ent for putting the question in so clear and pointed a view, but we need take no. other notice of Mr. TIPPER's relation than to say, that it can only have been founded on COBBETT'S assertion, which . is wholly wit bout foundation.

They are allowed to be some of the best imitations ever seen, and the Solicitor to the Bank, it is said, has for some time been in possession of information concern ing their source, and of the extent to which the forgeries have been carried. They are believed to be of French manufacture, but difficulties exist ing to their circulation in that country, the scene of operations has been changed to Cadiz, where a large number of British vessels engaged for the expedition are collected, and.where they .are taken without scruple or suspicion.

On the evening of Tuesday, the 21st inst., the Members of this Club celebrated itb Seventh An niversary, by partaking of- a dinner at the York Hotel, Williamson-square. ADAM LODOB, in the unavoidable absence of the Prebi lent, fitted tl►e Chair. Mr. Crowther's large room was taste fully fitted up for the occasion. Two splendid flogs waved over the Chair ; one of them was in scribed " Friend to the Pilot that weathered the Storm." In the centre and middle of the room were three large artificial roses. The walls of thy room were ornamented with wreaths of lau rel, &c. In the centre of the orchestra was sus pended a portrait of the Right Hon. George Can ning, surrounded with laurel. Groups of-artificial flowers graced different parts of the room. The tout eluemble was truly beautiful, and was much admired by the company. At half -past five, about eighty Gentlemen sat down to dinner. The tables %vete loaded with every delicacy of the season and well-flavoured - wines. The vocal .powers of M. Incledon, supported by seveisHsrother ama teurs, and an excellent baud, gave zest to the hilarity of the festive scene. A pieee of elegant Blue Cloth, manufactured at BiHingham, and shewn at the late Brighton exhi bition, has been purchased in patterns for suits of cloaths by several distinguished individuals, among whom is Commodore BAINBRIDGE and orders for similar cloth have been given on the same Manufactory. By the Underwood, Captain WOOD, arrived in the Downs from Demerara, advices have been -received to the Ist ult. by which we regret to learn, that the colony still continues very sickly, and that the mortality, not only among the whites, but the coloured and black population had been very considerable. The weather, at the above period was, however, getting cooler, and great hopes were entertained, that in a few weeks the sickness would cease. 'Eke LORD 'PRESIDENT of the Court of Session in Edinburgh has cotrected a mistake in the Scotch Papers relative to what he said respecting the advance of 300 Radicals on Monday sett night front Kilbarchan. It was Kilsyth, and not Kilbarchan, which his Lordship mentioned on the occasion allinfed to. A warm contest has taken place for the vacant Recordership of Colchester, between Mr. Cvt?• WOOD and Mr. KKLLY. The poll was opened on Monday, and was not . expected to close before yesterday evening. We hear from Stirling that the Magistrates have employed a great number of the operative poor (who are at this' rime thrown out of employment) in widening the north approaches to the town, and its making a foot-path on the Perth and Fife roads. Mr. MARTIN'S (Sussex) harriers bad a novel chase on Wednesday last. They threw off on Firle Hill, and found a hare ; and coming to a check, whilst endeavouring toy gain the scent, a fox dashed out of a furze-bush, and led them over several brooks much flooded by the late rains, to wards the sea ; on gaining the shore he was beaded by two fishermen, and to avoid the dogs ascended the cliff 25 feet in height, and regained the bill, flout which lie once more descended into a crevice of the cliff,'and thus saved his life, after a sharp run of 12 miles. A greyhound, belonging to Mr. Samuel Hall, of Staverton, in Northamptonshire, on Tuesday last, started a brace of hares from one form, who both took the same direction, followed by the dog, who soon caught one of then►, and after clearing a stile, a hedge, and turning the other five or six times with the first its his mouth, caught it, acid both were found dead at his feet. FINE AM'S. THE FITZWILLIAM MUSEUM, CAMBRIDGE, The Vice-Chancellor and Syndicate of this 'Mu seum having canted permission to Mr. 14ARRA-, DEN, he has commenced painting a series of Pic tures from the, works of XVOUVERMAN, CARLO DOLCE, CANAI.ETTI, GERARD DOUW,, VLIRGAR, POLENIBERG, BOTH, &c. in the above splen”!id Collection ; for which the Unversity, and in deed the Public, are indebted to the munificence of the late Lord FITZWILLIAM. Mr. HARRADRN is likewise publishing a series of Prints, in co lours, to imitate these Pictures : those which have appeared are admirably executed, and froth the liberality and spirit of the Members of the University, we are convinced that he will meet with that encoorageownt to which his taste and abilities fully entitle him. Several valuable additions have been made to the Museum, in the course of the present year, among which are— A beautiful model, on a reduced scale, of one of the Tombs discovered, some time since, at Nola, in Campan►a, presented by Mr. Carragban. Several valuable Prints, presented by Dr. Clarke and Mr. File wood. A large and valuable Collection of Sketches, &c. by the late Mr. Romney, presented by his Son. A Drawing of an Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius, by the late Lord Fitzwilliarn, when a youth, presented by Mr. Cookson. An exquisite Drawing of Flowers, presented by Mrs. Several valuable Books, presented by Dr. Wallis and Mr. MiHeti. And a splendid edition of Ossian's Poems, in Gaelic, pre sented by the Highland Society of London. The liberal, and indeed munificent present of Mr. Rowan - , of the Studies of his Father, we noticed with much pleasure, and hope it will at tract the attention of our distinguished Artists, and induce Many of them to follow his example, for we do not know where they can with so much honour, safety, and effect, place the finer speci men of their art, and of their s'udies, than in the Fitzwilliam Museum ; which, from the na ture of its establishment—its funds—and the cha racter of the learned and distinguished individuals to whom its management is entrnstecl, will, we doubt not, at no distant period, become one of the most celebrared Collections in Europe. THE ARMY. The Coldstream Regiment of Guards mounted duty on the Parade in St. James's l'ark, on Sa• turday morning, in their new clothes. The ap pearance of long-tailed coats, which is the principal new feature in them, attracted consider able no►ice Last week, about im etre,;-..., men, belonging to the parishes of Queensferry and made an offer to he trained and armed in such manner as Government might require.

The recruiting parties from the Plymouth divi sion of Marines have hitherto been very successful : scarcely a day passes without producing men from one quarter or another.—(Exeter Gazette ) The 3d Veteran Battalion left Long-room Barracks fur Dock on Tuesday last, for the pur pose of assuming duty at the various ports vacated by the removal of the 63d regiment into the in terior.—(ldem.) The artillery-men have been busily employed in. the neighbourhood of Plymouth and Dock for some time past, in dismounting the batteries which surround those &zees, and collecting such Other pieces of ordnance as come within the meaning of the public circular lately issued from the Home- Office.—(ldem ) EXECUTION. - " This morning the sentence of, the law was carried into effect, at the usual place in the Old Bailey, on John Markham, convicted at the October Sessions of an abominable offence. Precisely:at eight o'clock the wretched culprit was placed on the scaffold, more dead than alive, attended by the Rev. Mr. COTTON, with whom he appeared to join in fervent prayer while the exe cutioner was performing his melancholy office. In a few minutrs the drop fell, and the miserable wretch was dead in an instant. Markham was a person of ti►e lowest stamp in society : he had been for some time, and was at the period of the commission of the offence for which he forfeited his life, a pauper inmate of St. Giles's workhouse. There were fewer spectators than ever attended on any former occasion. ACCIDENTS ON THE Ice.—On Monday even. ing several young teen ventured on the basin of the Regent's Canal, near Battle-bridge, for the purpose of skaiting. Among them a youth, named George Smith, more bold than his companions, ventured too far on the ice, %rhich gave way, and he fell in.
