BRUSSELS, DEC. 11.—This morning his Majesty gave a private audience to a deputation of the cotton manufacturers of Ghent, at the head of which was M. Hemptinne.. M. Van de Weyer has obtained leave of absence for a month, and will shortly arrive at Mussels. The Gazette Van Gend says—" We learn that five master workmen and eight workmen belonging to our cotton manufactories are gone to Brussels, to present in person to the Chamber of Representatives, a petition to which there are 9,731 signatures." This petition arrived at Brussels yesterday. It is 35 ells (above 26 yards) in length, and is pasted on calico. ensiVe e 250 agerlao It sometimes happens that Officers apply personally for their half-pay, without having pr e viously sent in their affidavits, as required by the usual advertisement.

ROBINSON and SON, Plaintiffs Solicitors, 6, Halfmoon-streetViccadilly. Dec 13, 1833. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, DEC. 14. SUB-DIVISION COURT. Mpssrs. MERIVALE, HOLROYD, and FONBLANQUE, held a Sub-Division Court for the purpose of giving judgment in a cast of some importance reg irding the right of proof on bonds. Mr. Commissioner MERIVALE said the husband of the bankrupt became indebted to Mr. Graham in the sum of 500/., and for which he gave a bond. The husband, Charles Verender, died in 1827, leaving his whole estate to his wife, subject to the payment of his debts, the widow continuing to carry on her late husband's business of a coal merchant. Mr. Graham pressed for payment of the bond when a new bond was executed with the following sureties— Mr. Saut, Mr. Leslie, and Mr. Wilson, Mr. Leslie being an executor under the will of the deceased. The widow be came a bankrupt, and Mr. Graham sought to prove for the amount of the bond, which was opposed on the ground that the co-obligators were solvent, and therefore the claimant ought to prove against the sureties, they be ing jointly and severally bound by the bond. The Court was prayed to admit tl , e proof of Mr. Graham, as the sureties were not jointly liable, and as it had decided that they were paced in the same si , nation as co-contrac tors. They (the Commissioners) thought that Mrs. Verender's liability rested solely on the contract having been signed by the sureties as principles, and that !he proof should he admitted against the separate estate of the bankrupt, unless evidence was let in to explain the inten tions of the parties, and to show that the bond, though only joint, was intended to be joint and several. (Before Mr. Commissioner WILLIAars.) EXTENSIVE BANKRUTTCY. A meeting of the creditors under the commission of bankruptcy awarded about twenty years ago against Mr. Thomas Morris, of B a rton-upon-Humber, and Mr. Richard Nicholson, of Glamford Briggs, bankers, was held to-day, for the further proof of debts and the declaration of a dividend. The proceedings in this case are extremely curious. The law charges in working the commission and Chancery suits, and other legal proceedings in relation to the pro perty of the bankrupts, show in an extraordinary degree the enormous expenses of the law. The money so distri buted amounts to between 24,0001. or 25,0001. A very lame sum of money is now dependent noon the decisions of the Court of Chancery, and which will, with• assets in hand, and accumulations of interest, be made available shortly for future dividends. The total proofs, Ex., against the joint estate are within a few pounds of 190,000/., upon which dividends have already ben declared of ss. 91 in the pound. Upon the separate estate of Sir. Morris the proofs are 45 9091., and the dividends already paid amount to 15s. Sd. in the pound. The proofs upon the separate estate of Mr. R. Nicholson are 19,4211., and the dividends already paid are I le. in the pound. There are upwards of 4,000 creditors, and the books, proceedings, and records would fill a small cart. The Court was prayed by a solicitor to grant nut of the assets in hand a dividend on a proof on the proceedings, as his party had not received any for twenty years. Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS said his feelings would prompt him to make the order; but while the proceed ings in Chancery were going on, and the accounts unau dited for the dividends to be declared, be could not grant the prayer. The disputed points were, by consent, postponed till the next meeting, when the audit will take place and further dividends be declared. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvaNs.) JAMES COCHRANE'S BANKRUPTCY. Another misting of the creditors of James Cochrane, a bookseller, of Waterloo_place, was held to-day, for the further proof of debts and the declaring a dividend. The meeting was attended by several of the proprietors and others interested in the public journals of the metropolis, to make proof against the bankrupt's estate for advertise ment accounts. A great number of proofs were tendered on bills of exchange, the consideration given for which was not in many cases establi.hed to the satisfaction of the Court, and the claims were postponed. Most of the creditors signed a release to Captain Chamier, who had been considered a partner with the bankrupt, on condition of the payment of a considerable sum. If the money is accepted the creditors are expected to be paid about lls. in the pound. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. TILE ANCIENT WATCHMEN .—Abraham Draper, a constable, was on Saturday charged before the LORD MAYOR. James Johnson, a watchman, of Lime-street Ward, stated that on Tuesday night, at 12 o'clock, a gentleman, named Symes, called the watch, and when he (complainant) went up to the spot from whence the cry proceeded, Mr. S. began to abuse him in the grossest manner for not having come up sooner, and struck him violently two or three times. Witness thereupon took Mr. Symes to the watch house and complained, but the constable of the night refused to take cognizance of the charge, and dis charged the gentleman. Another watchman swore that the language Mr. Symes used was dreadful in the extreme. The LORD MAYOR—Come, let us know what he said. Watchman—Said ? Why he called him everything but a gentleman, though the watchman did his business like a gentleman.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—But be a little particular. Let us know the words. Watchman—Why he said this here gentleman was a vagabond. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, and what else ? Watch man—Every thing bad as he could lay his tongue to. The LORD MAYOR—And where was this ? Watch man—ln the watchus, to be sure, my Lord. Ay, and he called him worse nor all that.—(Here the witness used an odious epithet, which he said Mr. Symes rattled out.) The Constable —Upon my oath, my Lord, Mr. Symes never uttered any thing of the kind. I gave the complainant the gentleman's address in Fen church-buildings, where I knew him to have resided long; and I refused to. take the charge, and lock up the gentleman, upon so improbable a statement. Complainant—My Lord, this here man at the bar has a hanimosity towards me. He refused to take a charge a.couple of months ago from me, when I got a terrible poke the eye—(Laughter)—so I was determined to pull him up now. Mr. Symes said that the complainant had most scan dalously misrepresented the case. He (complainant) was walking home on the night in question, with his hands behind his back, when suddenly he felt some body behind him applying a lighted segar to his fingers.—(Laughter.) Upon turning round to the incendiary, he asked two or th!ee young men, who were smoking, what they meant, but received no answer except a horse laugh, at which he felt rather irritated. He then called to the police, but none were in the way. Upon looking round he beheld the complainant at his ease, lolling. in a doorway, and called to him. The lazy fit was, however, upon the man, and he would not stir till the segar smokers had disappeared. Witness then told the complain ant that a complaint should be made to the authori ties upon the subject. " Oh, very well," said he, " then I'll lock you up." Mr. Hobler—For insulting his dignity ; what else could you expect? Witness—l never touched the man, but my feelings being strongly roused, I certainly may have used strong language. The dreadful word attributed to me, however, I never in my life used. I have lived twenty-four years in the buildings, and am known well ; and I refer to a very large acquaintance whether they think, under any circumstances, I would have disgraced myself, by making such horrible reproaches. Several gentlemen stepped forward to testify to the truth of this statement, but The LORD MAYOR would not insult Mr. Symes by hearing testimony in proof of the fact that such words we►e not used. The Gentlemen of the Ward would no doubt know how to estimate the value of such watchmen as these. At the same time his Lordship thought that the constable was wrong in not taking the charge, for if it had been entered it must have come before the Magistrate, and care would have been taken to represent the matter to the authorities, who would no doubt have dealt with it judiciously, by disposing of two such fellows as had presumed to appear at the Justice-room with a complaint. • The defendant was then discharged. JOSEPH ADY.—The LORD MAYOR has received several lrtters from gentlemen in the conntry, en closing promises of intelligence considerably to the advantage of the persons addressed upon payment of twenty shillings a-piece, at 11, Circus, Minories, the address of the notorious Joseph Ady, who now subscribes himself " James Laurie." The following is a copy of one of the epistles:— " Gentlemen—The undersigned is able to inform you of someth'ng considerably to your advantage, on the receipt of twenty shillings by Post•office order or otherways, fir his trouble. " You's respectfully, " JAMES LAURIE, Accountant, " Nu. 11, Circus, iNtioories, London. " Value 201. yearly for ever. " No letters received unless post paid." We understand it is the intention of Joseph to give all the Aldermen a turn in this way, and to claim relationship to each, as a recommendation to the confidence of the public. G UILDHALL. UNPLEASANT TERMINATION TO A FROLIC.---A student at St. Bartholomew's Hospital was charged with having been found in female attire, walking in Fleet -street, about ten o'clock on Friday night. The prisoner, who appeared much ashamed, said he was tipsy, and he put on the clothes merely to call at a friend's house to see whether he should be recognised in his masquerade. Several persons spoke as to his respectability, atd he was discharged on paying a fine of five MARLBORO UGH-STREET. On Saturday evening a young man named Thomas Heaton was placed at the bar before Mr. DYER, jun., charged with robbing his employer, Mr. Fisher, army clothier, 37, Duke-s t reet, St. James's, of 351. Mr. DYER committed the prisoner for trial. THAMES POLICE. FOWLS AND PHEASANTS.—CAUTION TO CHRIST MAS CATERERS.-A travllitg hawker of poultry, named Curtain, was charged under the following circumstances:— _ _ The prisoner and another man brought a basket of game into the Coach and Horses, Shadwell, and, after some bargaining, Mr. Clifford, the landlord, agreed to give six shillings for two brace of birds, ready plucked, which a friend in the poultry line declared to be devilish fine pheasants. Another friend, however, discovered them to be tough old fowls, with the heads and tails of pheasants affixed to them in a very ingenious manner. The phea sants' heads were skewered to the necks of the fowls with the paper in which they were carried, in a manner to deceive the best judge. The head having been first put under the wing, in the manner phea sants are generally sent to table, the skewer was first inserted through the wing, then through the fowl, and again through the neck up to the other wing. The men were pursued, and the prisoner caught in the act of selling a sham pheasant to an other publican. The prisoner, however, was dis charged, as it appeared that his companion, who had escaped, had received the money, FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, DEC. 13.—The Indicateur of Bordeaux of the 11th instant, which we have received by ex press, gives an extract of a letter of the Bth from Bayonne, saying, " General Castagnon writes from Tolosa, on th 6th, that he was about to advance with his troops to join General Valdez, wbo must have moved to Vittoria, whence they would form combined operations upon Navarre, which the mass of the Carlists had made their general rendezvous. The affair which I mentioned yesterday as having taken place near Onata was not so important as the accounts from Tolosa made it. The Queen's troops, in consequence of the precipitate flight of the insur gents, could only come up with a small detachment, of which they killed about a dozen, and made eight or ten prisoners." This journal bas also the following from St. Jean Pied de Port of the 7 1i instant :—" 1 have just learnt that 6,000 insurgents under Eraso have been attacked by the Queen's troops at Estella, near Puente da Reyna, but they fought like men driven to desperation, and did not give way till the Christinos were reinforced by a body of Lancers. The Carlist troops are worn out by the forced marches they are compelled to make, in order to sustain a cause which is being daily deserted by those who were its most zealous partisans. We have received information that the insurrection has broken out, in the kingdoms of Leon and Valencia, and also in Estremadura. It is pro bable that these are only rumours, wilfully dissemi nated by the monks ; but, nevertheless, they are credited." Extract of a letter of the sth instant from To loss :—" In consequence of the movements of the troops under the command of General Valdez, the Carlists of Biscay and Guipuscoa have been driven from those provinces and forced into Navarre. Ge neral Lorenzo is in the occupation of Onata, and the Commander-in-Chief is at Bergara. The Alcades have begun to send in their reports to bead-quarters, and they are calling in and sending to head-quarters the arms, without its being necessary to employ any soldiers. It has been for some time found requisite to send away from the Passage the French Jesuits that had been established there, and whose convent had become the rendezvous of intrigues of every description. It appears, however, that they are about to take their departure without any other con- - - - DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, DEC. B.—The Central Section of I the Second Chamber had yesterday a conference with the Minister of Finance relative to the budget. THE HAGUE, DEC. 10.—Yesterday some cor rections, in different articles of the projects of law relative to the budget, were sent to the Sections of the Second Chamber. The public discussion will begin on Friday. It is thought that the Prince of Orange and his son will set out for S , . Petersburgh on Sa turday. He will stop there two months. It is presumed, with good reason, that this journey is connected with political subjects. On the 6th of December, M. Potemkin (whom several journals have erroneously called Prince) de livered to his Majesty his credentials as Envoy Ex traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. Besides this Minister, the Russian Legation at present con sists of the ordinary Charge d'Affiires, Prince Dolgorucki, and M. Donawroff, Secretary of the Legation. It is affirmed that Prince Lieven, Russian Plenipo tentiary to the Conference, will be furnished with new instructions entirely coinciding with those of the Prussian and Austrian Plenipotentiaries in London; or, in other words, highly advantageous to Holland. We hear that the States-General, on the exami nation of the Budget, persevere in many of their observations, as well as in the whole amount of the budget as in the sums set down for the departments of Marine and War. It is also said that the Go vernment is riot disinclined to the plan of having the sums granted as votes of credit, recalled if found necessary, and that in general it is fully convinced of the necessity, so often expressed by the members of the Second Chamber, of making the expenditure of the State more proportioned to the revenue, and is sincerely resolved to do its utmost to that end. The States Courant contains a Royal Decree re specting the statutes of anonymous societies (or Joint Stock Companies). DUTCH FUNDS—AMSTERDAM, DEC. 10.

BERLIN, DEC. 5.--The journey of Prince Ada]• bert to St. Petersburgh is put off; and Prince Au gustus, of Wirtemly-rg, brother to the Grand Duchess Helen, is gone to Russia for the same purpose. Letters were received yesterday from St. Peters burgh by express, which announce that the business which the Foreign Department is transacting with the Turkish Ambassador is proceeding with great activity; and that in consequence several couriers have been despatched to the ports on the Black Sea, with orders for the fitting out of several large men of war and transports. - At the date of these letters, two military officers of high rank, one of whom is to have the title of Ambassador, were preparing to set out for Germany. If we may credit private letters from Vienna, oc currences on the Southern frontiers of the Austrian Empire call for the special attention and exercise of the Chancellor, Prince Metternich, and the opening of the m uch-talked-of Conference will be a little delayed on that account. In a list of the names of the Ministers who are to attend the Conferences, which was shown in a diplomatic circle yesterday, we find Baron Sturmer, as well as Prince Metternich, for Austria; Count Orloff and Prince Maizekoff, for Russia; Lord Durham for England. Several of the Foreign Ministers at Vienna are also named, and to France was sent a note interrogative. It was farther mentioned, that on the proposal of great Northern Power, the Turkish Minister at Vienna, who has lately been highly honoured by the Sultan, is to be present at the Conference. BERLIN, DEC. 7.—We learn that M. Ancillon will set out for Vienna before the 15th. It is not known whom he will take with him, but as many legal questions are likely to be brought forward, it is thought that Counsellor Eidehorn will perhaps accompany the Minister. The regulation of the frontiers between Poland arid Silesia, which has been now a subject of negotiation, without coming to a conclusion for nearly 300 years, will probably be de ferred till his return. HAMBURG, DEC. 9.—An express from Cuxhaven brings word that the William Jolliffe steam boat, which put to sea en the 30th November, with the mail of the 30th, had got within fifty miles of the English coast, when it was compelled, by a violent storm, to put back, and lay for eight days off Heli goland, wh ere it was obliged yesterday morning, on the approach of a violent storm from the north-west, to take refuge in the road of Cuxhaven, where it ar rived safe at three o'clock , It has suffered no damage, and has ample stock of coals ready to put to sea again on the first opportunity.* EXCHANGES ON LONDON.

PETEKsatnwn, Nov. 26.-10 35 - o *. --Hamburg P aPers, Dec. 10. * The William Joll(ffe arrived in the Thames yesterday, • Sunday, Dec, 15. " The petitioners will not attempt to touch your Majesty's heart by vain lamentations or vague allegations, but hope to convince you by the production of statements, the correctness of which cannot be called in question. Belgium possesses manufactories for the cotton manu factures, the value of which is 62,677,300 francs, in cluding the value of the buildings, furniture, &c. " These establishments work up annually 8,320,000 kilogrammes of raw cotton, which may be estimated at 16,640,000 franca. They produce 7,765,333 kilo grammes of yarn cotton, which have been converted into 1,941,333 pieces of various tissues ; the remainder has been used in hosiery and mixed goods. " The quantity of manufactured cotton acquires a value of from sixty to eighty millions of francs ; 221,886 per sons have gained their livelihood, and that of their families in the manufacture of these articles. " The petitioners are convinced, Sire, that the impnrt ance of the cotton manufactures, which is evident from this plain statement, entitles it to the special protection of your Maj-sty, and for this reason they respectfully take the liberty to explain the causes of the distress under which they labour, and the remedies which it is most necessary to apply. " The causes of the distress are, first, the separation of Belgium from Holland. We have now no market hut the kingdom of Belgium, and the expenses of exportation in the kingdom, where our manufactures have to contend more and more with the English, exclude us from it. " The second is the loss of a colony, which annually consumed a large portion of our manufactures. " The third is the enormous extent to which the smuggling of foreign goods is carried on by a system of fraud, notoriously organised en our frontiers. " The remedies which they propcse ate— " 1. To secure to the national manufactures the mo nopoly of the Belgian market, for which it is necessary to revise our tariff. " 2. To favour the exportation of the surplus of our manufactures. " Bounties on 'exportation are indispensable to the existence of our establishments. " The two measures proposed are the only means of reviving the cotton manufactures, and securing the exist• ence of the immense number of workmen. " Information of a commercial society cannot, in any case, produce immediate relief, which none but prompt measures can effct." . . The King, after listening to the deputation with great attention, promised the co-operation of his Government as far as it had authority to act, and pointed out that part of the measures required must emanate from the Legislature. The deputation re tired full of hope, founded on the gracious language of his Majesty. Three of the members of the deputation of the workmen of the same city also had an audience of his Majesty. We learn that the language which his Majesty held to them inspired them with the fullest confidence that they may rely on the sincere solicitude of the Government. The petition of the workmen to the Chamber of Representatives says— That during the last three years they have been without any work for months together, and at oihei tunes they have had only half work, so that they have been obliged gradually to pawn all they had,*even to their bed clothes; and now, when they have nothing left that they can sell or pawn, they are without work, and c insequently without tread. They do not know the cause of their misfirtunes or the means of remedying them ; but they do know that they no longer see mime; rous waggons and ships convey their manufactures to distant countries ; they do know, from the reports of some who have been in other countries, that in England, France, and Prussia, not an 01 of cotton manufactured in Flanders, or any othet produce of Belgian manufacture, is to be seen, while we see with our own eyes that the ships of Flanders are filled with English, French, and Swiss manufactures. We then ask, why do we not do here as they do in France, England, and Prussia, where trade and manufactures flourish?" Count Latour Maubourg will return to Brussels on the 14th or 15th. On the 16th of this month a solemn Te Deunt will be performed in the principal churches of all the towns in the kingdom, on account of his Ma. jes.y's birthday. The report of the Central Sec tion, on the Budget of the Ministers of Justice, Foreign Malts, and Marine, indicates that there will be no serious objection to the sums asked for. The sums proposed by the Minister of Justice are allowed, with very few exceptions. With respect to Foreign Affairs, a Jaw on the Consulates is pro posed. No objection is made to the expense of the embassy in Paris; but there are some to that in London. The majority agreed to 80,000 francs. With respect to the Marine, the 30,000 francs asked for building vessels met with no support in the sections. The central section proposes to ad journ the consideration of this proposal. The Second Chamber continues the discussion of the Ways and Means. Great apprehensions are entertained at Antwerp that great damage has been done by the late storm. The Dutch papers of the 10th contain no news of importance. BELGIAN FUNDS.—ButissELs, DEC. 12. Actual Debt, 2 3a per Cent. Rothschild's Loan, 5 per Cent 95 Loan of the City, 1832, 4 per Cent.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 11.—All is quiet here, though the general discontent is increasing, and the Sultan has great difficulty in keeping off the storm. He seeks diversions from his cares in amuse ments and gymnastic exercises. The seraglio is so metamorphosed that it resembles rather the villa of a rich European, being furnished with a wooden horse, a billiard table, and nine-pins. He conceives he has made great progress in civilization, for his dwelling is decorated a /a Francaise, and his cour tiers can play at billiards. He cares little for what is said of him out of the Seraglio, and is content if he can but introduce a new uniform. Nothing is done to educate the people, who have become more ignorant than ever, if possible. Nothing has any attraction for the present generation, who are in sensible to their fallen grandeur, and this is but the forerunner of their annihilation as a distinct country. ROME, Nov. 25.—A report is again current, but wants confirmation that the King of the French has offered to mediate and put an end to the differences with Don Pedro. Such a negotiation, however, would be attended by many difficulties, without reckoning on other causes of embarrassment with the Government of France. It is said that Franc , demands the suppression of many bishoprics, the adrift. Captain Emerson, of the Etna, burnt blue signal lights, and gave notice, when within hail, to all the vcssels - - lie met, that the light ship was not at her station. By this means there is no doubt many vessels escaped ship wreck, arid we understand Mr. Richardson was compli mented by several ship and steam vessel owners yesterday afternoon for his very praiseworthy attention. Among the vessels that contrived to enter the port in safety, in the absence of the light ship, were the Mail, Bennett, from Valparaiso, the Meg Aferrilies, Holmes, from Africa, and the Mercury, Pearson, from Cape Breton, all ships of great value. Unfortunately, however, it was impo , sible to warn every vessel that approached the port of her danger, and to this is attributed the loss of the Lord Blayney steamer. witti all hands on board—a fact of which there now unh ippily remain , no doubt. That vessel left Warren Point, Newry, about 11 o'clock on Wednesday forenoon with a valuable cargo. Her crew consisted of Captain Stewart, and 16 hands, her burden per register being 201 tons. At her usual rate of sailing, she would reach the station of the light ship about 2 o'clock on Thursday morning. It is presumed, however, that in the absence of the light ship the captain must have imagined be was out of his course, and must have steered for Ayr Point (north west entrance to the Dee), supposing it to be the floating light. The consequence was, she ran on the banks which lie in that direction, and went to pieces, all on board bring lost. The first intimation that was received in Liverpool of this me lancholy catastrophe was the following communication by telegraph yesterday morning:— " Telegraph-office, Dec. 13. " A great many pigs and part of a wreck have been washed on shore near the Point of Ayr." It has been since ascertained that the wreck here al• luded to was the stern of the vessel. The next intimation was as follows i— " The is reek that has been washed on shore near the Point of Ayr is part of the Lord Blayney steamer." This announceinsnt was not received till yesterday afternoon, and shortly after the following letter was received by Mr. Askew, the harbour-master, from Mc. Dawson, the superintendent of the lite-bolt at the Point of Ayr:— '° Mr. Askew,—My dear Sir,—At dark last night a great number of dead pigs, a horse, a great number of sacks of flour, firkins of butter, and two dead bodies, were washed ashore near the Point of Ayr light. I hear that a person saw a mast of a vessel above the water yes terday morning under Prestetyn. Captain Stewart's trunk and the register of the vessel have come on shore. I am afraid the Lord Blayney steamer is lost, and all hands on board perished ; there are, I think, 200 or :300 dead pigs on the shore, but we can scarcely tell, as it has been so dark 111 night. Inm so tired I scarcely can write; as soon as it is light I will go down to the shore again. Youis respectfully, " JOHN DAWSON." It appears by a letter received by post, by Mr. Carleton, of the house of Watson and Pim, the owners of the vessel (which, from itscontaining some corrections of the manifest of the cargo, must have been written after the vessel sailed), that she left Warren Point en Wednesday forenoon. The letter is dated Wednesoay, and must have been put into the Post-office before four o'clock the same afternoon. It is not known whetlier any or how many passengers were on board, but it is presumed that from the boiste. rous state of the weather and the advanced season of the year, there woul I not be many. The Lord Blayney was a very fine boat, and was built about eight years ago, by Messrs. Rathboee and Co. of this town, under the inspection of Captain Stewart. She was considered one of the finest models belonging to the port, and was in excellent trite, having lately received new hoilers, and undergone a thorough repair. She was usuully commanded by Captain Wilson ; but Captain Stewart, who had the William the Fourth, being a Lieutenant in the navy, was prevented from navigating that vessel to Portugal, on her being chartered by Dun Pedro, and he exchanged vessels in September last with. Captain Wilson. This was to have been his last voyage, however, in the Lord Blayney ; his own ve,sel, the William the Fourth, having now returned to this country. There appears to be little doubt that this melancholy shipwreck has been solely owing to the absence of the light ship. That vessel left her station early on Wednes day morning, and it was not till about noon yesterday that she was towed out to her moorings. This extraordinary delay has given rise to a great deal of discussion and ani madversion. Meetings of the Dock Committee were held on the subject on Thursday and yesterday, and a sub committee has been appointed to investigate the matter. It is'contended by some that the state of the weather on Wednesday and Thursday was such as to render it a matter of impossibility to tow out and moor the light-ship. On the other hand, it is argued that she ought not to have left her station so long as she had even one anchor remaining ; and that it was perfectly possible to have replaced her on Thursday, as the Dublin and other steamers were enabled to ply as usual. We shall not venture to give any opinion on the point, more especially as it is under investigation by a sub-committee, who, we hope, will sift the matter to the bottom. l-- ,n It will be seen by the following telegraphic announce ment, that, in addition to the load of the Lord Blay ney , several other wrecks have taken place " T N.W., blowing fresh.

The number of persons drowned remains unascertained. The weather was bad, so there might not be many in the cabin ; but there is a strong probability, as the vessel was well laden with cattle, that there were many deck passengers. The steward of the Hero steamer, from Mostyn, re ports that be saw a plank at sea on which were the letters " laney." It is probable that this belonged to the wrecked vessel.
