HA YMA KET.--Rise and Fail, Bombastcs Fa rioso, and Musing made Easy, were the enter tainments at this Theatre last night, and they all went off with great applause. A fire. having happened in the neighbourhood, and-reaching the ears of some of the audience,"` much alarm was excited lest it had broken out in the Theatre ; but Mr. TERRY came forward imme diately, and assuring the audience that it was at a distance from the Theatre, removed all fears, and .restored tranquillity. ENGLISH OPEr.A-IlousE.---A very amusing and pathetic melo-drame, entitled The Miller's Maid, was represented for the first time last night at this theatre. The following is a brief outline of the plot : The Miller's Maid (Miss KELLY), the adopted child of,the Miller (BARTLEY), the pride of the village, and acuongskathers, has captivated by her Charms the hearts of Giles (EMERY and T. P. COOKE), two of th e Mill er ' s men . A deadly strife is contemplated by the two lovers before either will abandon the treasure of his hopes, and Phoebe is colilpelled to snake her selection of the two. Her choice falls upon George; which heightens the passion of her other lover, until mixed up with jealousy, it almost becomes prenzy, and leads him on to imagine the most desperate designs. He is relieved from this state, however, by the discovery that George and Pheebe are brother and sister, and his heartonce more becomes the scat of hope. But this is not lasting, for the return of an old soldier, the supposed father of the two, discovers that only one was his child in reality, and the other by adoption. Here the revenge ful passions of Giles again tturst out, until by the kindness and persuasion of Phoebe, the better feelin,gs of a rough but honest heart prevail, and he resigns her to the husband of her choice. The piece admits of much retrenchment, par ticularly in the stories related by the Miller (BARTLEY) and other characters; and if it were not for the humour of HA ar,Er, we should wish his character (Natty) to 'be wholly omitted. It is extravagant and silly to an extreme. But his excellent acting served as a relief to the grave and melancholy incidents of the piece. It was altogether admirably supported by the per formers, and sanctioned for repetition by the warm applause of a very numerous audience. The musical farce of Two Wives was repeated with great success. SPORTING INTELLIG ENCE. WORCESTER RACES, FIRST DAY, AuG. 14. A Sweepstakes of logs each, for all ages. Two miles. (16 Sub.) Mr. E. L.

EARL Mi - OL.A. PACKET. FARTHER. PARTICULARS. (From the LivEnroor. COURIER, August 15.) Seldom have we had to discharge a duty so painful and melancholy as that which has this week devolved on ts. The loss of the Earl Moira, Dublin packet, is a catastrophe more ter rible and agonizing than any which has happened on the adjacent coast for many years. By this dreadful occurrence, a multitude of human beings were, in one rnornie* pf horror, suddenly and unexpectedly swept into eternity. Hoary age, robust manhood, feminine softness, and helpless infancy were promiscuously swallowed up by the remorseless waves, before the eyes of agoniz4d relatives and spectators, unable to save them from inevitable death, being themselves in mo mentary expectation; of sharing the like awful fate. Such a scene of horror must have appalled the stoutest heart. The Earl Moira, Captain EnwAnn OwENs, sailed from the Manchester Dock, at half-past six o'clock on Wednesday last, crowded with passengers, the precise number of . Avhom cannot now he ascertained. The cabin passengers are supposed to have amounted to:31. Those who were in the steerage amounted, it is conjectured, to double or treble that number ; though, from the not unusual circumstance oranany of Them jumpinc , on board as the pact: are leaving the Pi er h ea d, e without paying the', passage money at the office, the exact number will never be ascertained.— The crew consisted , af the - Mate andlik — Seitneti.' The captain, when he , came on board, is stated, by many of the passengers, to have been so in toxicated, as to be rendeied incapable of con ducting the vessel. The owner of the packet states, on the contrary, that at six o'clock in the evening, when he communicated to him the orders to sail for Dublin, he, was, in his judgment, per fectly sober. He held a considerable conversa tion with him on matters of business, and he never heard any man spec anore clearly or intelligibly in his life. Indeed, so complete was his own confidence both . in the safety of the packet and the skill of the captain, that the late lamented death of his respected relative, Captain Phibbs at Dublin, the news OF which reached him just before the packet sailed, had already determined him to proceed in her on this occasion, and he was only prevented from doing so by the after reflection, that his presence in Liverpool would be more immediately useful to the disconsolate family. In corroboration of Mr. D'Aguilar's opinion of the captainll apparent sobriety, Nye can state, on the authority of a gentleman who observed him while navigating the vessel a short way down the river, that, so far as he could judge, the captain, if intoxicated, was not so much in- toxicated as to attract his notice. But the same gentleman informs us e ,, ..that when, about .three hours afterwards, aftec the packet struck the first time on the bank, the intoxication of the un- fortunate commander became quite' perceptible. It is a fact, however, -Omitted by one of the crew when examined bef'e the coroner, that the captain was not quite vober when the packet sailed from the Pierhead ; but he gave his orders to the , men as usual. The aspect of the weather, though. rather gloomy, was not particularly threatening at the time the. packet left the. Pier-head. The wind blew fresh from the W. N. W., and, had no accident occurred, the vessel would, it was ex pected, have reached Holyhead by (lay-light next morning. When in the river, the captain .left the helm, and one of the seamen took it ; and when off the Magazines, a short distance from the Rock, all sail was set. The pleasing manner in which the Earl Moira, in company with the Newry packet, which sailed at the same time, turned the Hock-perch, was noticed by several gentlemen at Bootle.. But the ill-fated vessel soon experienced a reverse; and. the first of that series of accidents took place which ended in her wreck and in an incalculable sacrifice of human life. At eight o'clock a second seaman relieved the helmsman. The wind was then • blowing rather stronger from the west than before. Be tween nine and ten o'clock, when the vessel was op posite to Wallasey,. on The West. Wharf Bank, in attempting to tack, she missed stays, and struck upon the bank. The shock alarmed the pas sengers considerably, and those who were below flocked up on deck. Repeated calls were now made for the captain, but he paid no attention to them. The passengers then called upon the sailors to do their duty, and for some expe rienced person to take. the command of the ves sel; but they seemed unwilling to. act without orders. At length the captain made his appear , ante. ; but so intoxicated, as to stumble in coming out of the cabin, and fall on his face on the deck. The boat was then lowered, and the kedge anchor carried to leeward ; but, in throwing it out, it was unfOrtunately lost, and the boat stove. After beating on the bank a short time, the ves sel was, after much exertion, got off. The wea. , ther a-head now began to assume a threatening aspect, and some of the passengers requested the captain to bear away for Liverpool. He re fused, and they threatened to tie him to the mast, and put the command in other hands. The vessel now began to be in a perilous situa tionwas : the tide was ebbing fast, an d she. in hands that were incompetent to extricate her from the surrounding danger. About ten o'clock, she a second time missed stays, and again grounded on the bank. The alarm and confusion among -the passengers increased with this renewed disaster. The foresail was lowered, but •.the jib and mainsail were kept up, in the hope of getting the vessel off. This, however, was now impossible, and orders were given to make every thing snug until morn ing. The passengers were not free from appre hension ; but they were assured by the crew, that there was no danger, as the vessel would lie safe till the return of the tide, and would then be got off without damage. These assurances somewhat allayed their alarm. Most of them re tired to their births, leaving the deck to the crew . who were to attend to the management of the vessel during the nigllL • Some, however, conti nued on deck, anxiously awaiting the return of the dawn. In order, however, to attract atten tion, in case of danger, the captain, who at this ' time was almost - insensible, was requested' to hoist a signal of distress ; but neither he nor any of the crew offering to hoist one, a passenger ob tained a lantern,' which he hoisted half-mast. About midnight, when the signal of distress was hoisted, the passengers, although not with out some apprehension, had no suspicion of their lives being in jeopardy. ' A boat w - •a 3, about the same hour, observed at anchor to windward, and its proximity tended considerably to tranquillize the minds of the people who remained on deck. It was then ebb tide but at no time was the vessel dry, there being, even When it was at the lowest, two or three feet water on•the bank. But the process of destruction commenced with the returning tide. As the flood set in, the vessel was occasionally lifted, and, striking with vio lence against the bank, produced the leak which occasioned the dreadful catastrophe that fol , lowed. The mainsail, kept on her for the pur pose of running her off - the bank when the tide should rise; had only the effect of sinking her deeper in the sand, and rendering her situation more hopeless. As the tide rose, the passengers discovered the imminence of their danger. Soon after fotir o'clock, piercing and repeated screams from the hold spread dismay throughout the mul titude on board. It was now discovered, that the vessel had sprung a leak, and that the wa t er was milting_ in with impetuosity. The crew had never, during the night, taken the precaution of sounding the . pumps, alleging, when asked •-w hy they had- not- •dvne so,- that. they•.bad. tto. orders • ta. sound them. The terror now in creased. The Water rushing into •the cal:in and steerage, forced the passengers on deck. The luggage was also brought , up,, and piled on the deck and in the boat which had been bilged the preceding night. One pump was employed ; 'but, • notwithstanding the utmost exertion of the passengers and crew the wa ter gained upon them. In the hold were two fine horses bekinging to the EarlofPortarlington : they were brought u pon d ec k, the captain, it was observed, being particularly active in getting them up. By Otis time the Vessel began to fall on her broadside, and the exertions which these dumb animals made to support themselves on an inclined plane were such as to arrest the atten tion of persons who were trembling for their own lives. It was now determined to• throw these poor animals overboard. One of the grooms who had the care of them was anxious to try to reach the shore on the back of one of the horses. lie stripped himself for the purpose, but was per suaded to desist. They were• then thrown over board. One swam to windward, and was drown .ed : the other made for the land, which it reach ed in safety, and was taken by persons on shore to Mrs. Dean's, at Wallasey. Before this time, and when the water first made its appear ance in the hold, repeated signals were made to the boat, men tioned above, to come to the assistance of the people on board the packet. Handkerchiefs and hats were waved ; but the men in the boat seemed to take no notice of them. One of the pas sengers, a soldier, then fired his musket three times, having but three cartridges: still the boatmen seemed to pay no attention to these reiterated signals of distress. At length they approach. ed the wreck. The boat, it appears, belongs to Mr. Ar c hib a ld , ral 111'lloul, of this . port, and was bound to Chester river with - 1: -rings. Two men, named Andrew Fietson and Hugh Wil liams, were in it. In their depositions on oath before the coro ner, they state that, between eleven and twelve o'clock, tlicy got abreast of the packet, and, on seeing the • light which was hoisted half-mast, they came to an anchor to windward, in orde r to save the people in the morning.• At daybreak they obServed repeated signals made from the packet ; but, at that time, there was not sufficient water to run alongside. They also heard the report of a musket fired three times ; and, about half an hour afterwards, there being then - sufficient water to cross the bank, they hove the anchor, and attempted to pull alongside the vessel.. They, however, missed, by about half an arm's length, a rope which was attached to the bowsprit. ,They then hove out the boat's grappling, in order to bring tier up ;. but, in the mean time, she drifted a short cable's length trom'the wreck. They next hailed the people on board to throW out a buoy.' A. line was accordingly made fast to a cork fender, which was thrown out; .but the rope was so heavy as to prevent the fender floating towards them. They then called out for a fender with a lighter rope, which was not attended to by the people on the wrack. The sea now began to break over the boat so tre mendously, that they 'were under the necessity, for their •own preservation, of getting under weigh. ,They .bore away for Liverpool. . Immediately on their arrival, they gave information at the office of the packet being aground, in order that a boat might be sent out, and were told that Daney's boat had already gone. Such is the exculpatory statement of these boatmen. Just as these men were about to quit the wreck; No. 11 Pilot-boat hove in sight, and revived the drooping spirits of the multitude on it. This boat was returning to Liverpool, having boarded all her licensed pileits, and had on board only two ap prentices and two strange boys. About half-past' five o'clock they passed the wreck, and saw the signal at half-mast; but, not having sufficient hands on board the boat, and a heavy sea running, they could not render that assistance to the sufferers which their humanity prompted them to afford. They observed the boat, mentioned above, about half a cable's length from the Wreck. The apprentices on board the Pilot boat, under such circumstances, deemed it best to proceed directly for Liverpool, and give information of the disaster. This, was done, and she immediately returned to the wreck, in time to rescue the. three last survivors. The persons on board No. 11 are of opinion, that, from the Jjeavy sea that was running, it would have been dangerous 'or the small boat with the two men to board the wreck, or to attempt to rescue the people. As these boats quitted thein without rendering any assistance, the hearts of all on board sunk within them. Death in his most frightful form, stared every one in the face. Every billow swept souse poor soul into the abyss, and the survivors expected, every moment to share the same fate. But, even in this.despe_ rate situation, rays of hope oceasionally darted across their minds, as they saw vessel After vessel approach them. But none of these vessels offered the slightest assistance as they passed by, and the miserable survivors were again and again sunk in the depths of despair. Soon after the Pilot-boat was out of sight, a passenger re solved to attempt to reach the land by means of A trunk. He placed it under his arm, and boldly plunged into the sea.— Another trunk just at that moment floated near to him, which he dexterously seized, and placed under the other arm. I n this manner, he was seen floating towards .the shore, but whe titer he was so fortunate as to reach it alive we have not been able to ascertain. • Before six, the water in the hold was level with the hatch ways. Despair was now at its height. The violence of :the waves increased, making dreadful breaches over the vessel.— Two passengers, a gentleman and his wife, had got into the boat on the deck, a tremendous wave washed it overboard, preci pitating them into the sea. Fortunately both of them regained the vessel; after narrowly escaping death in the yawning gillph. Soon after six, the vessel was thrown on her broadside, and part of the mast and the weather gunnel were only to be seen. ' The mast and the shrouds were covered with people. Those on the lower part of the mast were up to the middle in water, and kept themselves from being washed away by holding on the shrouds. Others held on by ropes fastened to the gunnel. The fore part of t4e'vssel was crowded with a vast number of poor menovomen, aid children, who were particularly exposed to the violence of the waves. One female importuned the assistance of those on the rigging but, on a rope being extended to her, s h e was too much exhaustedto keep hold, and sunk. There were about ten men clinging to one rope, and a woman holding her husband in her arms. A• tremendous wave swept all away hut three. At another rope were two men, brothers: one had hold of it, and his brother clung to him ; but, after supporting himself for some time in this manner, he sunk, exhausted, into the sea. At the stern of the vessel were an elderly lady and another, apparently her daughter ; they held on for some time by a rope, their heads being lacerated by the waves knocking them against the gunnel: They both perished. In the same part of the vessel were three soldiers, having a deserter in charge. They loosened his hand cuffs, and remained by him as long as possible. A sea struck them, and carried off the deserter, who sunk immediately. One of the sollizrs (the same who had fired the musket) was mined ender the hoOm, and clung to one of the stays. As the sea tiftiel dal vessel, he rose above water several times, but at I w e o ri l e n :ti it i t: 1 1 ,i s! ts th in an th e e xe fi laj e a p t a io r e o ot t : th rn e er v c es y' se y l i , e w ld h ed om to a h m is an fate in . the A rigging was particularly anxious to save. A . rope. *as thrown to her, which she laid !sold of and was dragged through the se ' to the mast, and was handed by the passengers on it to her re lative. She was one who was talsen off by the life-boat. Another wonsaa was washed away frOm• the gunnel andfloated towards the mist. • A gentleman, Who stood on the loWee era rt of it, u•is to his middle in water, aid h o ldi ng on th e shrOnets above wits one hand, grasped her by the hair of the head, and in t'eat ea sition Biestained her, for some minuteS. A spar saori'floeted near him. - He pressed it • down With' one foot, and plated it under the back of the unfortunate woman. This enabled him to sup poet her a few minutes longer; but, being himself exhausted, and having only one hand at libertyehe was reluetarstly eastrip-J -led to abandon her to her fate. But the most heart-rending of all the melancholy spectacles witnessed during , this scene of horror remains to be told. A poor woman, named Catheei7.le Grace, wife of John Giace, of Manchester, was in - the fore liazt of the vessel. With one arm she held her two children, one between two ande three .years old, the other an infaet at th e breaat ; and with the other hand she held on by a rope. She Was up to the middle in the- sea, the infant sucking- at her breast, and its extremities floating- in the water. The eldest child was drowned-in her arm ; but she eontieued,to hold its corpse. 'Tee infant also was soon drowned ; but the unfortunate mother still clung, with maternal grasp, to the lifeless bodies-of her children. Shortlseafterwards, -a tremendous wave washed. the mother amt the babes from this scene of misery and death. '' The sea, fOr a considerable space between the vessel aril the land, was covered with trunks, and spars, and dead bodies. The men uniformly sunk and disappeared; but the females floated about, with their heads beneath the water. The survivors on the wreck had been so long tantalized with hopes of deliverance from impending death, that they began to despair. A eareleas fleas of Life ensued r. and one of them informs us, so callous had he become, that the frequent striking of the floating corpses against him hied ceased to produce any emotion.. ' But effectual relief was now at hand. Between 7and 3 o'clock, the cry of " A boat ! a boat !" revived the drooping- spirits • of the survivorse This proved to be the Hoylake lifeboat.— The crew appioached within a few yards of the mast, and threw a rope into the rigging, which was eagerly laid held of. Above thirty individuals soon dropked into the boat, and several pe . :Tailed in "endeiiitii ring to gattl it.' .. One igen tlem an , (the f.;3111'.! who had supported the-unfortunate female), seeing no chance of beieg „taken - off. by the boat, boldly, - although he had on a great coat and top boots, plunged into the water, and swain the length of - the mast- towards - the '- boat. Ile reached it, but so much exhausted, that he was unable to catch hold, until a friendly wave raised him up, and he was then drawn into the boat, in a state of insensibility. As soon as the Ceptai.n of the lifeboat had taken- off 36 persons; as many as the boat could with safety contain, he requested those. who held the rope in the rigging to let it go ; but, despairing of further relief, they resolutely clung to it, and the Captain was ultimately obliged to cut it. The boat then made towards the land ; but the Captain deeming it unsafe to make for the shore directly opposite, on which a heavy surf was breakin he sailed along the shore to look for a safer l a ndi ng pl ace . lie had not proceeded far when he met one or two boats going towards the wreck ; and, as they would reach it long before he could make the Cheshire shore and land his passengers, he hailed them, requesting them to make haste to the wreck, and sailed himself for Liverpool. Soon after leaving the ;wreck, the body of a woman was picked up. It was known by- the passengers to be that of the unfors. tunate mother who perished with her two innocent babes, the breast at which the infant was sucking just before it was drowned being still uncovered. . The first boat which reached the wreck, after the lifeboat, was from the Magaaines. John, Thomas, and George Evans. (three brothers), William Roberts, and William W hittle, as soon as they heard of the accident, beat down to the wreck in a gig belonging to the former, through a tremendous sea, an d took off ten men,. who were all in a state of exhaustion. The boatmen, with ropes round their bodies, and at the risk of their lives, went upon the wreck, and carried the poor fellows in their arms through the breakers to the boat. They brought them . all to-Liverpool, the leg of one of them being so dreadfully fractured that the bone protruded through his stocking. They then . determined to return to the wreck, and try if they could rescue the survivors ; but unfortunately, -when round the Rock, their gig was overact by accidentally getting across the painter of the punt of a pilot-boat. They were all, however, fortunately picked up. The next boat that reached the wreck was the Lord Nelson, of Hoylake. Before it arrived, the deck was torn ,up by the sea and the mast fell. Five survivors were taken off by this host. The three last survivors on the wreck were taken off by No. 11 Pilot-boat. A Gentleman who resides at Bootle observed the people, at an early hoar, hanging tip ,, n the rigging._ He rode to Liverpool with all speed , puthimself on board this boat, which was manned fOr the occasion, and set sail immediately ; and - he had -the gratification of witnessing the rescue of these three pbor men from a watery grave. Mr. T. Leistcr, first master of the Friend's Goodwill, No. 6, with four others, •ik into the punt for the purpo s e, an d one o f t h e apprentices of t . N0..1 periled his own life by diving for one of tne poor sufferers, all of whom were almost lifeless when brought on board the boat. As soon as the vessel arrived in the river, she was moored at the North end of the Prince's-terrace; and the gentleman already mentioned immediately landed, and procured for the men warm and comfortable clothing, and, in about two hours, they were so far recovered as to be able to walk, with assistance, into the town. 'The total number of persons saved amounted to fifty-four, of whom three were females. The precise number who embarked at Liverpool the preceding evening, for the reason assigned in the beginning of this narrative, cannot now be ascertained ; but whether, with one of the crew of the packet, we estimate them at one hundred and fifty, or, as to the concurrent opinion of se veral of the - passengers, at about one hundred and ten, the loss of human life by this dreadful and heart-rending catastrophe, has been very great. Many -of the survivors are in humble life, and, having lost every thing they possessed .(most of th em having been landed almost in a state of nudity), we venture, relying on the libelee. lity of the public, to suggest a public subscription, and will gladly unite our assistance for that purpose with any g entlemen who may he inclined to further so humane an unde r taking. The bodies of only fourteen of the sufferers have, as yet, been picked up, four of which . have been brought to Liverpool, three women and one man. Th ree men, three women, and three children have been taken up at 'Wallasey. The nani of the persons brought here are Elizabeth Yates, Eliza Milner, Catherine Grace, and Matthew M`Bride, who have all been interred. Catherine Grace, with her two infants, who had been picked up at Wallasey, was interred on Monday, the dis consolate husband and father having_ come hither rrem Nidnt .chester.• The names of only two of the persons picked up at Wallasey have been ascertained. One was Mr. Wm. M of Port Glasgow, the other Mrs. Margaret Doran, of Dublin, both of whom, as well as the other persons picked up, h ave b een interred at allasey. The Committee of the Underwriters' Association have voted the sum of thirty guineas to the boatmen and others who exert ed themselves in saving the passengers and crew from th e wreck. We dave no doubt that the shipowners and other asso ciations will follow the example, and amply remunerate the men who have so well deserved the public bounty. . (Further Accounts To-morrow.) LOSS OF THE ARINUS 111.ARINUS, DUTCH EAST INDIANAN. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE AGENT TO LLorr'3 AT ROTTERDAM, DATED AUG. n. " From a declaration of the four men saved from the wreck of the Arinus Marinus, it appears that they sailed from Batavia roads on the 26th of January, of this present year; that owing to headwinds and tides they had not got through the Straits of Sunda on 2d February ; and that on that day the ship got on ground in 17 or 18 feet of water, soft ground. .After having been on ground for two hours, she floated, and continued tight; on the 4th they anchored off the island Cracatoms, and on the sth proceeded again on the voyage. On the 7th they had squally weather and strong breezes, running before the wind under double-reefed topsails : the wind increasing to a gale, they handed the fore-topsail and mizen-topsail, and close reefed the main-topsail. They scudded under , the close reefed main topsail, foresail, and stormsail, till between S and 10 o'clock in the evening, when it blew so violent as to blow the sails from the calt-ropes, the sea running tremendously About eleven o7clock they shipped a very heavy sell, which hove the long boat and yawl out of the chocks, and forced them to lee ward, together with a case containing an alligator, the ship at that time lying on her beam ends, with th e l eewar d s h rou d s about six feet under water; the main-top mast, went over the side, antlAhe ship not rising, they cut away the masts s ho u t a man's - length above the deck, but to no purpose, she remain ing in the same situation. Of consequence, a great deal of water forced its way to the hold, when all the , soldiers, and such of the crew as could be spared from the deck, were ordered to attend the pumps • but this measure p rove d i n va i n a l so ; an d about midnight the ship went down suddenly, head foremost.
