CAMPBELL JAMES DOWNER, Secretary. EUROPEAN LIFE NY INSURANCE COM PA. SHIP WRECKS. On Wednesday morning, between three and four o'clock, the ship William, Captain Houston, while on her passage from Gloucester to this port, was totally wrecked at Kilchattan Bay, Isle of Bute, while in the act of wearing, during a • heavy storm. When the vessel struck, her owner, Mr. T. Hamlin, a gentle Man of extensive nautical experience, told the alarmed crew to keep calm and collected, in which case there was a fair prospect of their lives being saved, whereas, should their terrors lead to confusion, their danger would be greatly increased. The advicel was at tended to by the major part of the crew, but two of them, in spite of every remonstrance, lowered them- - selves overboard on what seemed from the ship to be dry rocks ; but by this step they only met the fate they sought to shua, the boisterous surge into which . they dropped having washed them back, and carried them under the ship's bottom, where no assistance could be rendered them by those - on the wreck. The rest of the crew, after remaining on board with great difficulty till the morning broke, the sea during the night washing over them, and the ship rapidly going to pieces, were enabled to land on the receding of the tide, By the time they had left her she was a com plete wreck, little remaining but the deck. The mas ter was a good 'deal bruised, and the mate had his hand seriously injured. Mr. Hamlin and the crew were much exhausted by the severity of the weather, but were, with one exception, _uninjured. One old man vvts saved with much difficulty, as from the cold , he had become quite benumbed. Mr. Hamlin sneaks in the highest terms of the kind attention he, his offi cers, and crew experienced from Mr. M‘Dougall, far mer, in the vicinity of where the wreck took place, and of the ready aid he afforded theiu„ which was the means especially of saving the life of the old man • above alluded to. lie also sent his carts to save any property of value which might come ashore. The severity of the gale, which preved-fatal to the William;' may be judged of- by the fact that - she Was blown, from. Pladda te a distanCe of 21 miles, under hare poles,. in sornewhat IeSS than two"liOurs.—Green 7 grit Aclvertier: - • . • • A NoTnen Sitriswattic.-LAbout two O'clock on Thursday morning, the smack E o i4r,enee,‘ of Ports Mouth, of about 30_ tons burden, bound to Southarnp ton froth 1 Gurn.ley; laden with potatoes, came on shore on pii-sd Igeach, near Portland;.in a squail of wind from the S.S.W. It beingat the time ne:‘,. high water, hopes are entertained that she will '„ the spring tides make. The grePt est m— got off a mystery, and one not likely to be solved,,i., to Southampton from now this vessel, bound. Guernsey, with the wind S.S.W., should h' . : near Portland. We should have thourrht,. had been left to make her own course, altar leaving the Caskets, she would have been nearer the Isl e o f Wi g ht, w it the wind from the same quarter. One poor fellow, about twenty years of age (we could not learn his name), met with a watery grave just at the moment the vessel struck.—Sherborne and Yeovil Mercury. PHILADELPHIA,_ OCT. 19.—The steam-ship Mer chant, from N ew Orleans to Texas, went ashore a few days since in a gale ; eight persons were lost, as well as the vessel and cargo. While in the agonies of des pair, a passenger named Barker, prompted by deli rium, shot a fellow-passenger, and then shot himself. The brig Cuba, from Texas for New York, wentdown with all hands. Two schooners shared a sitaar fate.

CAPE TOWN, Ave. 31.—0 n the forenoon of Sun day last two large, vessels, the Abercrombie Robinson and the waterloo,' went on shore on the south-eastern beach at bOttorn of Table Bay. Both vessels were engaged as transports by the British (3overninent. The Abercrombie Robinson had on board, bOdes her crew and several passengers, 501 'sohlie;s, with their officers, She was a large ship, of nearly 1,500 ions burden. After grounding near tkie shore she stood upright, and no lives have b`:en lost', She will, 'pro,bal2ly„ or rat4er,certaliity, a total wreck. The Waterloo, a ship of 414 tons, bound to Van Diemen's Land, had on board, besides her crew, 219 male convicts, Dr. Helsell, in charge, Lieut. 'Text, Ensign Leigh, 30 men of her Majesty's 99th Regi ment, 5 women, and 13 children. She took the ground between 11 and 12 o'clock in the forenoon, and in 15 or 20 minutes became a mass of rubbish. And now ensued a most piteous 'massacre. In about two hours and a half, amidst the crumbling heaps of their perfi dious prison—of men, women, and children, 194 were crushed, disabled, and drowned. There was no preparation for saving life made on board or on shore. No life-buoys, no coils of ropes lashed to casks, nor any apparatus for establishing a communication with the shore from the ship. On the shore there was no life-boat, no apparatus for throw ing ropes over stranded vessels, nor any thing, in short, to show that the Government or people here had ever before heard of such a thing as a shipwreck. We stood amongst thousands on the beach within 150 yards of the dissolving fabric, looking on the agonised faces of our fellow-creatures, as they sank in dozens, battered, and bruised, and suffocated—useless as chil dren, or idiots, or wild Caffres. This ship, it appears, was built 27 years-ego at Bristol. No longer fit to carry logs, she is patched, up like other whited sepulchres, stuffed with- aliving cargo by a contractor, and dispatched to the ends of the earth—a voyage of more than 20,000 miles. No doubt, a " survey of professional men " will " find" that there was no fault any where ; that the Waterloo was a sound ship, thoroughly repaired, and perfectly seaworthy ; that she had on board all the equipments requisite for such a voyage and such a consignment ; that the officers of the ship did all that human strength, directed by skill and animated by humanity, could do ; and that the accident must be ascribed entirely to a hurricane, a mountainous sea, and a remarkably hard beach. Now, as to the hurricane and the mountainous sea,. it is enough to observe, that there were 20 other ves sels at anchor in the flay besides the Waterloo and the Abercrombie Robinson, and none of them parted from their anchors, or dragged them to any perceptible ex tent. The wind WAS blowin g a g al e , but by no means a violent one, and it was partly off shore. The sea was not running unusually high. Without ropes in their hands, or any precaution, men walked into the water up to their shoulders to drag out the bodies of the dead and dying, without the slightest risk. This could not have - been done had the surf been such as a gale causes on an open beach. These are facts to which thousands can bear witness. IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Nov. 13.—A considerable portion of the landlords of Ireland, especially in the province of Ulster, are engaged with zeal and earnestness in mea sures for the improvement of agriculture. No doubt they have been greatly stimulated by the working of the tariff, and by the conviction that the best remedy for the depression which has fallen upon the agricultural interest is to he found in the energy with which the owners and occupiers of the soil combine in promoting improved systems of husbandry. A very important meeting took place in the Com mercial-buildings, Belfast, on Thursday, on the occasion of the second annual assemblage of tie " Belfast So ciety for the promotion and improvement of the Growth of Flax in Ireland." The meeting was very numerous, and most influential, comprising agriculturists and manufacturers, landlords and merchants, Liberals and Tories--all working most cordially for the common good. Among those present were Lord Lurgan, Sir R. Meson; Bart., G. Maeartney, Esq., Lissanoure Castle; J. M'Neile, Esq., J.P. ; D. R. Ross, Esq., M.P. ; Colonel Blacker, Armagh ; Rev. Fletcher Blakely, Rev. John Porter, Rev. Ross Jebb, Charles P. Leslie, Esq., Glasslough ; J. T. Tennent, Esq., John Handcock, Esq., H. J. Porter, Esq., Tendra gee ; William S. Crawford, Esq., M.P., Crawfords burn ; John S. Crawford, Esq., Robert M'Kibben, Esq., James Campbell, Esq., John Charley. Esq., Daniel Lindsay, Esq., Dromore ; Frederick William Hayes, Esq., Seapatrick, Banbridge ; and C. B. Grim shaw, Esq. Lord LURGIN having been moved to the Chair, said—This Society, Gentlemen, is still in its infancy ; but when we read the list of, landed proprietors, mer chants, and millowners, wh o have connected themselves with this SocietY, I think ihe greatest man among you may feel himself honoured by being. enlisted with such an , undertaking—an undertaking so likely-. to prove beneficial to the country.—(Hear, bear.) ,I believe, Gentlemen, there is not a mad scheme bat has had its supporters ; and it: was only a few days since . that I _heard of a chairman presiding over a meeting of an Aerial Steam' company, which expected to be able to carry persons to the East Indies in f l our days aid a half.—(Laughter.). Gentlemen, I. would much rather'preside over your Society than the one to which I have just referred, for yours is a truly substantial, sensible, and practical sort of undertaking.—(Hear, hear.) The time is past for arguing the principles of this Society; however, Gentlemen, with your permission, I will say a few words as to those princi ples. Eighty thousand tons of flax are annually im ported into Great Britain, and five or six millions of money are annually expended in purchasing flax in other countries. Now, Gentleman, Ido not conceive that we are in a condition to fling away such an amount of money ; but the question is—what is to be done What are we to do, to obtain this profitable market for ourselve s ?..L.(lfear, hear.) Our soil is quite as good as the soil of any other country. Indeed, Mons. Demann, the Society's agriculturist from Belgium, has: taken the bull by the horns on this question, for he has asserted that the worst land in Ireland (moun- • tainous districts excepted) will have as good a crop of flax as any other country in the world; and as for our climate, it is as favourable for the growth of flax as any other.—(Hear, hear.) We have, then, soil and climate in our favour, but, from indolence and other causes, this source of wealth is lo s t to th e coun t r y, and this source of employment is lost to the popula tion.—(Hear, hear.) This, Gentleman, is but an im perfect outline of the motives of the founders of this Society, for its utility cannot be questioned by any one.—(Hear, hear.) Our Secretary will now read the Report of the Society's operations, and inform you of the progress it has made since the last meeting.

In the midst of unhesitating condemnation on some points, and charges of guilt on others, we have to mention that two unofficial spectators, Mr. Molteno and Mr. Still, procured the assistance of a common boat belonging to a Malay, which reached the Water loo after she was falling to pieces, and brought off two men, and on a second trip fastened a rope to the wreck. After this a larger boat belonging to Messrs. Sinclair was brought from the Abercrombie Robin son, and moving backwards and forwards along the rope, saved a good many lives. This shows what might have been done by a life-boat used in time.

He said—My Lord and Gentlemen, this resolution is put into my hands to propose to the meeting. I take a deep interest in the success and welfare of this Society, and I fully concur with what has fallen from Lord Lurgan on the subject. This is a Society where men of all creeds and parties may meet to promote a common object—the good of the nation generally. I am of opinion that landlords should encourage such a Society as this. lam of opinion that the country might be greatly benefited by the culture of flax ; for if we were able, in this part of the island, to produce flax of good quality from our poor soil and ungenial climate, what was to be expected from the better soil of the south of Ire land ? And lam sure, that if we should be able to introduce with success the cultivation of flax in the south, there was no one in Ulster who would be jealous of that success. It occurred to me, on visit ing the Netherlands, and witnessing the splendid crops of flax which there met my eye, that that was a plant which would admirably suit the soil and climate of the south of Ireland. Ido not consider the soil and cli mate of Ulster good enough for the crop. lam glad to have an opportunity of coming before you to-day, and of observing the interest which is taken in your proceedings ; and what I have seen and heard in spires me with a hope that the Society will go on and prosper. It is the duty of proprietors of the soil, as well as of large establishments, to take up the sub ject. You all know what could be done by machi nery—that in fact it was just now providing goods too fast for the demand, for one man could at present perform fully as much labour as ten could formerly do. It was the duty, then, of landlords to see what could be done for the improvement of the soil, and the providing of labour for the unemployed population. Sir R. I3ateson concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. SKINNER here exhibited a well-grown sample of hemp, from the neighbourhood of Caledon, which was inspected by several gentlemen. The crop from which this was selected had a splendid appearance when on foot. The Committee of the commercial body have insti tuted an inquiry into the circumstances attending this horrible event, as well as to the loss of the Abercrom bie Robinson on the same occasion. The attention of the Government and of the Admiral has also been fixed on these two accidents ; the public and the parties concerned may, therefore, expect that all the facts will be properly ascertained and made known. The loss of life by the ruin of the Waterloo is, we learn, altogether 190, including 15 soldiers, 14 sailors, and 18 wo.nen and children. So great a loss of life has not happened in Table Bay since the year 1799. On the sth of November of that year his Majesty's ship Sceptre, Captain Ed wards, was driven on shore, and, like the Waterloo, immediately went to pieces, being an accursed old hulk on her way home to be broken up. A few hours after she struck not a vestige of her was to be seen, hut the fragments of the wreck scattered on the strand, in myriads of pieces, not a single plank remain ing whole, nor two attached together. Captain Ed wards, his son, 10 other officers, and near 300 seamen and marines perished. On the same day several other vessels went on shore, amongst the rest a Danish man of war of 64 guns. But their crews were all saved, as in the case of the Abercrombie Robinson on the present occasion. Taking advantage of the excitement caused by this melancholy event, funds have been raised, and mea sures are taken for constructing life-boats, and for having a rocket apparatus always in readiness in this bay, for rendering assistance to vessels in distress, or for saving life. Of the Waterloo it is impossible to speak with mo deration. Deadly blame rests somewhere, and justice will, we have no doubt, find out the parties who de serve it. D. R. Ross, Esq., M.P., said he had much plea sure in rising to second the resolution proposed with so much spirit and cogent reasoning by Sir Robert Bateson. Nothing but the interest awakened in his mind last year could have drawn him from home this week, when every day and every hour was to him of more than ordinary value. He felt the greatest inte rest in agricultural affairs, and it might, therefore, be well imagined ho w grea t was the pleasure , mlich , he d: ,as riv a ed tim fro e m wh t e h n is i d t day's proceedings p in roc eu e m ed b i e n nt 0;n fo th r o if se w thereh who lived ever by agriculture to give it their best attention, this was the time, a n d th e part i cular time. Prices of farm pro duce, as pointed out by the Report, had this season beer greatly depressed, and it was with some diffieulty the farmer could pay his rent—that, in fact, agricultural distress prevailed. He agreed, to a certain extent, with the statement of the Committee ; but he trusted, that in some little time this distress would pass away ; yet it was incumbent on them to boldly meet the difficulties of the time, and triumph over them, for it was the duty of the agriculturist to use all the means within his reach to remedy his position.— (Hear, hear.) There was one thing he observed to day with which he was much pleased—he had heard conflicting interests reconciled—he had found the merchant, the manufacturer; and the agriculturist uniting for a common purpose, and acknowledging that the interest of the one was identical with the interest of the other—(Hear, hear.) They were so in a more extended point of view than that which came before them that day.—(Hear, hear.) When Britain was engaged in a lengthened war, agriculture and inanufactures were stimulated to an unprece dented extent; but at present they were goaded on by another sort of agency—by sharp necessity— (lkar, hear) —but instead of folding their arms, and which most theirf htdisastrous , i iei fasd, ports allowing despair to weigh heavy on their minds, they should press forward to overcome any obstacles in their path to improvemeut.—(Hear, hear.) They were entering upon a new era in agriculture, and if they did not take advantage of those improvements which from time to time came before them, they only were to blame.—(Hear, hear.) Let them consider. that the flax-spinning trade in Belf as t had been raised to such an eminence as that which it now occupied, and what would be the state of thi ngs if, from any cause, war were to break out b e t ween us and those nation s from whom we h a d h eretofore drawn our supply of the raw material ? Si r R obert Bateson had stated that 80,000 ton s o f fl ax had been imported from the Continent iti one year. Th. quantity was brought from the B a lti c , from Hollandilsvast from Belgium, and from France ; and s would be any occur rence were to arise by closed against us, and the supply stopped, thetrade of Belfast would be placed in a condi tion.` He -knew that this view o be turned against himself, in'co e question . migst nnectiOn witlf another subject to which -he wo u ld not farther allude than to say that in the one case e Goother, 1 Vivas one branch of mann facture3 which was ben, . 7 ~,,..) where, in the And noiv it would be proper to ask a few questions respecting the precautions taken on board of all trans ports into which involuntary passengers, such as sol diers and convicts, ar e th rus t by Go v ernment :- 1. Is it a rule to take the lowest tender, without respect to the class of the vessel ? 2. Or does Government, as it ought, limit tenders to the first-class vessels ? 3. Who are the surveyors ? How are they paid ? Do they receive money in any shape, and how much, from the owners of the ships they survey for this service ? 4. Is it true that they are "hard-worked men, with small salaries, and large families," and that a friendly help of 15 or 20 guineas is sometimes added to the regular charge by the benevolent shipowner ? 5. When 400, 500, or 700 souls are put on board a transport, is care taken to have at the same time the means of making signals in dark and 'foggy weather, in case of danger ; or is all left to the chance of some body seeing the flash of small arms, when the report of the same cannot be heard? 6. Is extra apparatus carefully placed on board for saving life in case of wreck, such as life-buoys, in struments for throwing lines, and the other well known means of communicating with a lee shore ?

Wu. S. CRAWFORD, Esq., M.P., rose to move the second resolution. He felt happy in advocating the claims of such a Society, because he (Mr. Crawford) was well assured that its objects were truly praise worthy ;- and the Society proposed to encourage the small farmers.—(Hear, hear.) He acted in strict consistency with his (Mr. Crawford's) avowed prin ciples in supporting such a resolution, for he always wasNn a, advocate for the interests of the small farmer. He supported the Society also, because the cultivation of flax gave employment to many persons, and be was on that account anxious that it should be encouraged. The Rev. FLETCHER BLAKELY rose to second the resolution. The immediate business of the meeting having thus been gone through, it was moved and agreed to, that it is desirable that the Royal Agricultural Society should hold their annual cattle show in Belfast next year. Committees were also appointed to collect sub scriptions in the - different counties in Ulster, in order to raise a sum (1,500/. was named) to defray the ex penses of the show. Lord Downshire has opened a list, headed by his own name for 501., and Lord Hills borough and Lord Erne have each subscribed 25/. JouN MWEILE, Esq., said that the Royal Agricul tural Society . for Ireland were prepared to expend 700/. in premiums, in Belfast and its neighbourhood, if they were deserved. A decent-looking woman then came forward, and showed to the Chairman and meeting a shirt of a su perior kind, which she was employed in making. She declared that it took a good hand fourteen hours to make such a shirt, and that the price paid for making it was only 6d. Mr. SINDALL, a parishioner of Limehouse parish, thought they ought to inquire into the statement re lative to the Guardians allowing work to be taken into the workhouse. They ought also to inquire whether these shirts were not made for exportation. Mr. COLEMAN believed that there were middlemem who, in consideration of their becoming security to the warehouses, got a profit which ought to go to the trader and the persons employed in making the shirts. In answer to questions put to one of the women by Mr. T.'Roberts, it appeared that one penny was the price paid for making a sailor's shirt, and that it, took a good hand to make six of those shirts in thirteen hours; that the price paid for making the finer sort of shirts was 6d., but that the same time was required to make one of the finer sort as was required to make six of the common kind ; there were about 300 females employed in that parish, at about 6d. a day, and there were eight or nine slop houses that employed them. Mr. ROBERTS then said that he had no doubt a great part of the shirts made were aported ; but still he did not think the lowness of the wages was caused by any competition in the making of shirts between this and a foreign country, but that it arose from s domestic competition—a competition of house against house, anxious for an extension of business, but re gardless of the sufferings of the working people. In answer to a question, one of the women stated that in some shops there were middlemen employed. but they were only employed where fin;ie shirting was given out ; and, in considera tion of their becoming security, they received a half.. penny out of the sixpence paid for the making of each fine shirt. A resolution was then moved and carried, to the effect that a Committee be appointed to collect fur ther information on the subject, to make representa tions to the persons engaged in the trade, and, if ne cessary, to call a public meeting on the subject. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting separated. DISTRESSED SHIRT-MAKERS. A meeting was held last night, at the School-room, Totton-street, Stepney Church-yard, to take into consideration the case of the shirt -makers of that part of the metropolis, and the inadequate payment vrhioh they receive for their labour. The chair was taken by the Rev. W. Allen. Mr. W. S. CUMMING, surgeon, then stated the ob ject for which this meeting had been ealled. It ap peared that his attention had been first called to the subject from having attended a woman who had taken vitriol for the purpose of destroying herself, and, on inquiring the cause which led her to take such a step, he learnt that her husband was a sailor, and that she, not being able to receive any part of his wages in his absence, had endeavoured to earn her sub sistence by making sailors' shirts, but finding that though she worked from six in the morning till eleven at night, and sometimes all night, she could not earn enough to enable her to procure the necessaries of life, she had been induced to pawn the work which she had in hand. To avoid being apprehended she had taken the vitriol, and it was from having at tended this woman that his attention had first been called to the subjects He was informed that for making a shirt the workwomen received only one, penny, and that out of this penny they were obliged to find thread, which reduced the sum paid for making ~.shirt to little more than three rarthings, and that it s took a good hand fully two hours to make a shirt of that particular-sort. , H.e felt horrified when he found,. that in this country - women-worked - thirteen hours a day for about 6d., and. he Was assured that there were many thousands employed in this manner who did not earn more than 4d. a day each. He asked the women present whether he had not stated the truth. He be lieved be was right in saying that out of the sum paid them they had to find their own thread.—(One of the women said, "Needles too, Sir.") As the shirts were generallz made for sailors, he thought the trade could easily afford to raise the price, because sailors would never grudge the additional penny. Something ought to be done to relieve them, and this, he thought, was the fairest way of doing it. All that they required was to have 2d. instead of id. for making a shirt, and this addition would never be felt either by the pur chaser or by the trader. If this was not done, the guardians of the poor ought to assist them. A woman in the meeting here stated that the guardians rather did them an injury, because they took shirting into the workhouse, and, without pay ing anything, employed the inmates in making it into shirts.
