Not so has Ireland acted. Her proud spirit brooks not the taunts, neither quails her brave heart before the frowns of power, though that power be the vaunted " Peerage of England." Conscious of her strength, and trebly armed in the justice of her cause, she is calmly but resolut e ly mars h a lli ng h er resources for the conflict, which will crown her efforts for national regeneration with a greater triumph than she has ever yet achieved. She knows that a united nation never claimed its rights without obtaining them—she feels that seven millions of men cannot sue in vain for JUSTICE. .884 i 8 - Austrianl) l i i'(3 1 : 8 0 1 --- --- 7 - --- - ------ - --- - - ~, F OREIGN FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK - N I .

Faction may intrigue, bigotry may rave, sophistry misrepresent, and cunning delude—all the arts of a petty policy may be called into action, and made to bear against the claims of Ireland ; but it will be of no avail. Those claims rest not on the sandy founda tion of a temporary expediency. They are not to be warded off by such feeble bulwarks as faction can raise. They have their source in principles, and are interwoven with feelings as permanent as human na ture itself. , PRICES OP SHARES THIS DAY Per K * Share. Paid.

OUR Friends, and all those who may have to write to us, are requested to be particular in directing, Ind to t HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURG, 41ouserve, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage I .lr, but several inclosures would-by far increase the same. Thus l and l 3 /., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng tim Would only cause double Postage, but 10/. remitted in f o " ° tes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there- Z ,. re most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham gh, to forward the amount in One Note ; or having to receive ev„ tle Y from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when so -r Possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, r a r'ing the usual a moun t o f O ne B an k o f E ng l an d N ote, may l er be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. Corr s ave expens es th a t may as we ll b e avo id e d , we request our esPoodents not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS. " A telegraphic despatch, dated Bayonne, Oct. 9, states, that according to letters from Madrid of the 3d instant, Go mez was on the 27th ult. at Baylen, and occupied the defile of Despeno Perros. It is believed that he will not remain in Andalusia, but will return by Toledo. Alaix has delivered his prisoners at Alicant. Rodil, on the 27th, effected his junction with the division of Bibero at Huete. He had 10,000 men under his command, and intended to act against the rebels of Valencia and Arragon, being ignorant of the movements of Gomez in Andalusia." The position of GOMEZ is so critical that nothing short of the most able generalship can save him from falling into the hands of the enemy. From the disposi tion of the QUEEN'S forces retreat is all but utterly im possible, unless he can cut his way through the midst of the army stationed to intercept him ; while his re maining so long in a narrow pass of the Sierra Mo rena, proves that he fears to venture into the Andalu sian territory. The second official communication is dated " Per pignan, October Gth, half-past five o'clock in the morning," and is as follows : 21 ; Publ . :cation (9r TIM SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. " We learn by accounts from Valencia of the Ist, that Gomez has, by a counter-march, gained the flanks of the north of the Sierra Morena. On the 23d he marched against Jaen with 5,000 men. The Archpriest of Moya threatens Castile and the kingdom of Valencia, and occupies the atten tion of San Miguel and Nogueras. It is said that Cabrera has been captured with 20 horsemen, and conducted to Tara gona. The battle of the 2d, at Borada, in Catalonia, between St. Sebastian and Maroto, was without any result ; the par ties did not come within reach of each other's fire. Gurrea was on the 3d at Baga, and Maroto at Quierse, with 3,000 foot and 400 horse. The insurgent brigade of Ortaffa was at the same place." LONDON, T HURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1836.

A part of this intelligence is directly at variance with the official account of the defeat and capture of MAROTO, which we copied into The Sun of yester day from the columns of the Moniteur of Monday. We leave to the French Government the task of recon ciling with each other statements so obviously incon sistent. There is no other intelligence of importance in the French journals, with the exception of what is given in our extracts from them. The Swiss and Spanish questions are not handled in a way to call for particular notice. The death of General MINA is reported in the French journals on the authority of private letters. We have inserted elsewhere an extract from a pamphlet, lately published by MURRAY, under the title of " Progress and present position of Russia in the East," accompanied by some remarks on the aggressive policy of • Russia, by a Morning Contem porary, the force and justice of which, however we may differ from that journal on other points, we cannot but admit. We have long laboured to impress upon the public mind the danger of that acquiescence in the ambitious projects of Russia, which has characterized the policy of the Western States of Europe, England among the rest ; and we shall never cease to sound the same note of alarm until we see our Govern ment roused—we will not say from its indifference, for that would imply criminality, but from the false security in which it reposes—to a due sense of the power and views of a State, more artful, more ambitious, and more successful in its am bition, than any of ancient or modern date. The growth of the Russian empire is unparalleled, both in in its rapidity and in the circumstances under which it has taken place. The conquests of ancient Rome were large; but they were spread over a thousand years, and the nations subjected to her sway were in a state of barbarism. The aggrandizement of Russia has been accomplished in little more than a century. During that short period she has risen from a union of a few con temptible principalities, to be one of the most powerful empires that ever existed. She has pursued with perseverance and undeviating aim, 'a :course of greedy and grasping policy, by which she has appropriated to herself the territories of her neighbours on all sides, swallowing in her voracious maw province after province, while every new acquisition has served but to increase her appetite as it has her strength ; and she has done this, we may say, incredible as it must seem, either in spite of, or with the sanction of States which were more powerful than herself, and whose interests were clearly and directly opposed to hers. One of the arts by which she has be en enabled to effect her pur pose, has been to propagate the delusion that she was really very weak, exceedingly unambitious, and not at all dangerous. By these and similar pretences, the barbarian as we call her, has deceived the ablest diplomatists of nations boasting of the highest civilization, until we see her threatening the safety of the most powerful nations of Europe and Asia. German and Brussels papers have been received. Their contents are uninteresting. The new Turkish Ambassador to the Court of Vienna has had a first in terview with Prince METTERNICH. Of what took place on the occasion nothing has transpired. The Russian Government, or rather the CZAR, has pub lished another list of 142 Noblemen of the Govern ment of Wilna, all whose property is confiscated for their having taken part in the revolution of Poland. The Brussels papers do not contain a word of news of any moment. ItELGIAN I UNDS-13atissuta, Oar. 11. Actual Debt, 2% per Cent.

Accounts have reached us from Calcutta to the 20th of May : We regret to learn that piracy was still on the increase in the Indian Archipelago, and that the Governor of Penang had found it necessary to issue a Proclamation, calling on the resi dents to assemble, to consider what precautionary measures it were best to adopt in the event of a piratical descent on the island. A letter written subsequently to the publication of the above proclamation, states that the alarm had somewhat subsided ; but that outposts had been placed to watch the movement of the piratical prahis; and in the event of any hostile attempt the inhabitants were to remove within the fort. Captain Gotlieb was cruizing off the island in an armed brig, manned by twenty-five gunners, under the command of an artillery officer, and an express had been sent to the commander of his Majesty's ship Wolf, then at Singapore. A letter limn Hyderabad of the 6th May, states that there had been a violent disturbance in the city, between the Arabs and Rohillas, in which lives were lost on both sides. The Ro hillas were then outside the city, but threatened to burn down the Begum Bazaar, if they were not allowed to fight out their dispute with the Arabs, who, from being the least numerous party, were supposed not quite so keen for the encounter. The whole Bolaruna force had moved at the date of our ac count towards the city, and it was consequently thought that the business would soon be settled. Accounts had reached Bombay from Tehran, dated in March, that the Shah of Persia intended to invade Herat in April with 60,000 men.

LORD BROUGHAM.—On the evening of Tuesday last we had the pleasure of conversing, for nearly an hour, with a distinguished gentleman, who had called at Brougham Hall, while on his way from London to his country seat in this county. Our informant, in fact, had parted with his Lordship on the morning of the very day we met him, and we were very highly gratified to learn that the Ex-Chan cellor is not only in excellent health and spirits, but in full possession of as high a measure of mental vigour as ever fell to the lot of a human being, which is certainly saying a great deal. More than this, he is quite alive to the exigen cies of the times, and intimately acquainted with everything that is passing, not only in Britain, but in almost every quarter of the globe. Much has been said of late of public dinners awaiting his Lordship in Edinburgh and Glasgow, particularly since the flourish of trumpets appeared in a spirited periodical, one-third of which (as the Times, in its better days, remarked of a certain Ark on America) seemed to consist of an apology for the spirit in which the other two-thirds were written. But his Lordship, who has good and sufficient reasons for declining invitations, however accompanied, intends to woo tranquillity while within his reach, and will unquestionably serve the people best, to whom he is as warmly devoted as ever, by nursing all his energies, moral and physical, for the approaching campaign in the House of Lords. Let Lord Lyndhurst, therefore, look well to his laurels, and prepare himself for sturdier competition than he has encountered of late—collision with that master-spirit, of whom we may say in the words of a deceased townsman, " his anger is corrosive sublimate, and his scorn a blast from Pandemonium itself."—humfries Courier. George Robins announces in our columns this even ing, the sale of a valuable coal estate, in Wales. The sur face is of very rich land, and there are under 1,000 acres, one of the most prolific beds of coal in the empire. It is the antracite, or stone coal, and although this year's con sumption is 20,000 tons, it needs only sufficient capital to extend it to 100,000 annually. It is conjectured the profit may be increased to upwards of 20,0001. a year. The Crown, at Harrogate, is accounted the finest hotel in England ; it ma k es up 130 beds, and is full every night during the season, besides which there are stalls for near 100 horses in their extensive court-yard. The pro prietor has just realised a famous fortune, and Geor g e Robins invites competitor s t o f o ll ow ( we use hi s own words) so laudable an example. Died, on the sth inst., aged 67, Margaret, relict of the late Leonard Huntington, Esq. We regret that it becomes this day our painful duty to announce the decease of Admiral the Right Hon. James Lord de Saumarez, G.C.8., which event took place at his Lordship's seat, at Saumarez, in the Island of Guernsey, at 12 o'clock on Sunday night last. Lord de Saumarez was in the 80th year of his life, having been born in the month of March, 1757. He has terminated a long and useful career, the principal part of which has been passed in the honourable employ of serving his King and country. He was an intimate &lead of the late gallant Lord Nelson, under whose command he won many of the glorious tro phies which have since signalised his fame. His Lordship had attained to the highest rank as a naval officer, his last appointment being that of General of the Royal Marine Artillery on the 13th of February, 1832 ; he was created a Knight Grand Cross of the Hon. Military Order of the Bath, September sth, 1802 ; had been honoured with two medals by his present Majesty William IV., the first for the prowess he displayed at the battle of St. Vincent, on the 14th of February, 1797, and the latter for that in the battle of the Nile, on the Ist of August, 1798 ; and was moreover authorised to wear the Order of the Sword of Sweden, as Vice-Admiral of Great Britain. His Lordship leaves a family of four children to deplore, with his native country, and the whole British nation, his irreparable loss. By his Lordship's demise, a pension of 1,2001. a year will revert to the Crown. Lord de Saumarez was tlescended from a very ancient and respectable family in the Island of Guernsey, many of whose members have been devoted to the service of the British Crown. The original family name is De Sansmarez, which continues to be used by the eldest branch of the family. His Lordship's eldest son, the Hon. and Rev. James Saumarez, succeeds to the title and estates. He had just attained his 47th year on the decease of his gallant parent, having been born on the 9th of October, 1789. He is rector of Huggate, in the county of Cork, and is married to Mary, second daughter of Vice-Admiral Sir William Lechmere. Lord de Saumarez was a gene rous contributor to many charitable associations.—Channel Islands Gazette. Never since the United States have been an export ing country has there been so great a failure of the wheat crop as in that of the present year.

The first thiity pages of this yolume are, we appre hend, the only ones tvliieli will be found generally in teresting. They give an account of the rise and pro gress of the disturbances in Corsica ; of the unavail ing opposition offered by the celebrated General Paoli to the French Government in that island ; and of the family of Napoleon at the period when the Emperor was a mere boyish adventurer, full of romance and en thusiasm, with the world all before him. All this is ad►nirably described, and with the pen of strictest truth ; indeed, we know not where else to look for such an eloquent, nervous analysis and exposition of the feelings of the young Napoleon. But with this soli tary exception, the rest of the book is taken up with the discussion of matters of French legislation, the in terest of which has long since passed away. Who cares to know, at this time of day, that the Prince of Canino made many excellent speeches on the subject of the salt tax, and such like matters of domestic finance ? We do not deny, however, that to the historian of die troublous times of the French revolution, and to him who desires to obtain an intimate acquaintance with the home proceedings of the French Directory, the volume before us will be found highly serviceable ; but readers in ge neral will find in it little to interest them. It is but fair to state, however, that the author is, at present, only on the threshold of his task. The present volume, in fact, i 3 merely prefatory ; and we have no doubt that, when he conies to the period of Buonaparte's return from Egypt, and acceptance of the first Consulship, the work will possess all the interest of a romance, for Lucien was an important public character at that re markable epoch, and thoroughly acquainted with all its inmost springs of Macchiavellian policy. Perhaps our readers are not aware that Napoleon, like Cmsar, was an author. We subjoin, therefore, the following interesting little anecdote on the subject : " We also hope that in his next volume the Prince will be more liberal of his facts, as this has added but little to our previous knowledge of the Revolution and of Napoleon. One fact, however, he has stated which is curious, and we do not remember to have met witli it elsewhere, and we quote it with pleasure for the honour of the craft so maligned by Talleyrand, who said, with a somewhat profane addition, ' No great man ever wrote a book.' The witty diplomatist forgot Julius Ca2sar, and he did not then suspect Napoleon Napoleon in one of those conges which he went to pass at Ajaccio (it was, I believe, in 1790) had composed a history of the revolutions of Corsica, of which I wrote two copies, and of which I much regret the loss. One of those manuscripts was addressed by him to the Abbe Raynal, whom my brother had known on his passage to Marseilles. Raynal found the work so extremely remarkable that he decided upon communi cating it to Mirabeau, who, on returning the manuscript, wrote to Raynal, that this little history appeared to him to announce a genius of the first order. The reply of Raynal accorded with the opinion of the great orator, and Napoleon was en chanted. I have made a great many researches in vain to find those manuscripts; they were perhaps destroyed in the burn ing of our house by the troops of Paoli.' " THE ORIENTAL ANNUAL. Tilt, London, 1836. The present Number of this splendid Annual is incomparably the best we have yet seen,whether we regard the excellence and variety of its embellishments —not one of which but is engraved in the very first style of art —or the deeply interesting, and in some respects, novii, character of its historical information. Most Alinuals content themselves with merely catering to the amuse ment of the reader. This makes an addition to his stores of useful knowledge. A great portion of the Number before us consists of a well-written Memoir of the famous Tamerlane, and the no less famous Emperor Baber, both whose lives possess all the wild excitement of romance—especially that of the former, whose character is drawn with a spirit and discrimination that does great credit to the Editor, Mr. Caunter. The Illustrations, which are o,venty-two in number, are from drawings by William Daniel, and contain sketches of several of the most picturesque scenes in the East. Among these the old magnificent city of Delhi, whose very name fills a large space in the imagination, of course occupies a foremost place, and accordingly we have not less than four views of its mosques, and bridges, and castellated ruins, en graved with a care, and skill, and elaborate finish, which first-rate ability can alone supply. The " Alligator and the Bullock" is another triumph of art ; but the best is the view of the river Hooghlcy, with an ebb tide rushing up itt Which is alone worth the price of the whole volurAe. We can conceive no more elegant or appropria te birth day -pre sent than the Oriental Annual, with its wild and spirit-stirring descriptions—it,s characteristic anecdotes of Indian warriors, fanatics, statesmen, and brigands —and its gorgeous engravings, which may be equalled, but cannot be surpassed.

Peter Evans and Mary Anne TVood were indicted for as saulting and imprisoning Eliza Neale, x child two years and a half old. Mr. PRENDERGAST conducted the prosecution, and Mr, ADOLPHUS the defence. Sarah Neale, a young woman about fifteen years old, de posed that she and her little sister lived with their father and mother, at 16, Beaufort-buildings, Strand. They kept a lodging-house for " ladies and gentlemen." About twelve o'clock on the night of the 18th of June witness's father and mother were out, and the defendant Evans, who is the land lord of the house, came in, and took her little sister out of the bed in the parlour, and gave her to witness. Mrs. Wood was with him ; and witness, after leaving the room, saw the two defendants go to bed in the parlour. Evans locked the front and back doors, and nailed down the windows, and witness and her sister were kept in confinement from the Saturday_ night to the Monday morning following. She knew nothitig of a notice to quit having been served upon her father. Mary Perkins, a char-woman, deposed that she was sent by Mrs. Neale to look after the children. She went to the house in Beaufort-buildings, and was refused admittance. Mr. Evans looked out of the window, and told her if she did not go away he would call a policeman, and have her tak en i nto custody. She saw Sarah Neale and the child through the kitchen window. In answer to a question from Mr. Adolphus, the witness stated that while Mrs. Neale lived in the house, it was what might be called " a gay house," or a brothel. James Neale denied that the house was an improper one, but admitted that he was often from home for three or four weeks at a time. He never kept such a house; but Mrs. Wood was in the habit of keeping them. He was given in charge on the night of the 18th for an assault, but was discharged by the magistrate on Monday. After one or two other witnesses had been examined, Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Jury for the defendants. He denied that there had been any imprisonment of the child, but what was absolutely necessary in taking and retaining possession of the house ; and with respect to the assault, that had been ne gatived by the evidence for the prosecution. The jury found the defendant s gu ilt y , an d t h e L earned CHAIRMAN, after consulting with his brother Magistrates, fined the defendant Evans, M., and the defendant Wood, 21. 101., which was immediately paid. There are 116 prisoners for trial. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) BOW STREET. John Spray, coachman to Alderman White, of Newington green, was charged with obstructing the way last night at Covent-garden theatre. Police - man 80, F, deposed that he was on duty last night in Bow-street. About ten o'clock, he saw the defendant out of his rank, and causing an obstruction and confusion. He told him of the circumstance, and desired him to get into his proper place. Defendant then became very obstinate and abusive—said his master was a Magistrate and an Alderman, and he (defendant) would do as he liked in spite of witness or any other policeman. Complainant then seized the reins to lead the horses to their proper place, when the de fendant stood up on his box, and struck witness several time with the whip, which caused the horses to plunge very violently. His (witness's) hat was knocked off, and was bro ken to pieces by the horses scampering upon it. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said that the po liceman made more disturbance about the matter than there was the slightest occasion for. He denied that he had at all used the whip, and he was standing in the same place which he usually occupied when any part of the family were at the theatre. He called the footman, who said that he saw no as sault committed by the defendant. Several policemen spoke to the facts as detailed by the com plainant, and the Magistrate imposed a fine upon the defend ant of 40s. for the assault, and sentenced him to pay 125., the price of the hat which had been spoiled. In default of pay ment, the prisoner was to be imprisoned for six weeks. The fine was paid, and the prisoner was discharged. HA TTON- GARDEN. John Mason and Oliver Mason, two brothers, one aged 14, and the other only 12, were brought before Mr. ROGERS, charged with stealing two new blankets and one new counter pane, belonging to Thomas Blackwell. The prosecutor stated that he rented a room of the prisoners' parents, No. 23, George's place, Holloway, and had placed the property in question in the r oom y es t er d ay morn i ng ; b ut upon 'Coming home at two o'clock, he found the door broken open, and missed the property. He told the prisoners' parents, who instantly caused search to be made for both of them, as they had left home about that time. The result of their inquiries was, that they found the property at a pawnbroker's.' Thomas Saunders, shopman to Mr. Flemming, pawnbroker, stated that in the course of yesterday afternoon the two pri soners came to the shop, and said they wanted to pledge the articles for their mother. He advanced 125., which he gave to the prisoners. He produced the property, which was iden tified by the prosecutor. Policeman 103 proved taking the prisoners into custody this morning, and found 7s. upon them, and the duplicate of the stolen property. The father and mother (apparently hard-working people) appeared and wished the boys to be committed, the father stat ing that he could get no good from either of them ; they were in the habit of staying out all night, and robbing gentlemen's gardens ; he yesterday chained them both up in a room with a thick chain (which he produced), but they had contrived to secrete a file about them, and by that means loosened their fastening, and made their escape with the property. The fa ther and mother had, they stated, been searching for them ever since yesterday, and upon the mother finding them this morning, the eldest gave her 6s. and the duplicate. The prisoners were fully committed. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, OCT. 12.-:-Willd S. S.

FORREST, THE CELEBRATEIX"...:Z. AMERICAN TRAGEDIAN. . . This gentleman, whose arrival in this country has Tor ,l 0 some time been anxiously expected, is now in London. The following is the farewell speech delivered by him at Phila. delphia, which we have copied from one of the papers pub.. lisped in that city . " Ladies and Gentlemen—lt is impossible fxr me to express sufficiently the gratitude I feel for the viarm aPpro. bation, and overflowing audiences, with which I have been honoured during my brief engagement. Accept, however, my most heartfelt thanks. The engagement which I ani about to fulfil in London was not of my seeking. While I was in England I was repeatedly importuned with solicita tions, and the most liberal offers were made to me. I finally consented, not for my own sake, for my b ui biti on i s satisfied with the applanses of my own countrymen, but partly in compliance with the wishes of a number of American friends, and partly to salve a doe:nt, which is entertained by many of our citizens, whether Englishmen would receive an American actor with the same favour which is here ex tended to them. This doubt, so far as I have bad an opportunity of judging, is, I think, without foundation. During my residence in England, I found among the Eng lish people the most unbounded hospitality, and the warmest, affection for my beloved country and her institutions. With this impression, I have resolved to present to them an American tragedy, supported by the humble efforts of the individual who stands before you. If I fail--I ! whatever may be the r esu l t, But the app ro b at i on of that public which first stamped the nat i ve dramatist and actor ever be my proudest recollection," DISASTROUS OCCURRENCE'S AT SEA-LAMENTABLE LOSS OF J_IFE. (FURTHER PARTICULARS..,, The fearful anticiPation consequent • upo n the late tem bras been most lamen pestuous weather, we regret to say, tably realized by the loss of numero trs vessels upon our own coast, the result of which is a cakrnitous loss of human life, independent of merchandise to a, vast extent. The most re cent and afflicting in its consequences, is the wreck of a fine West Indiaman, turned the Clarendon, commanded by Captain Walker, an old and experienced mariner in the above trade. The above ill-fated vessel left Basseterre roads, St. Kitt!s, on the 28th of last August ; her cargo, consisting tc sugar, rum, cedar, and pimento ; her crew, in clusive of the master and officers, consisted of 16 persons., From her superior accommodations a number of highly res pectable individuals left the island In her, amongst who m were Lieutenant Shaw, an officer of the army (statio.aed some years in the West Indies), his lady and four daugh ters ; a gentleman named Pemberton, a planter, of eon .iderable wealth, who was returning to Europ e for the benefit of his health, and Miss Pemberf.on, his daughter, an interesting child, twelve years of age, who was a Creole, and coming to England for her education ; the other passengers were a gentleman named Shepherd, whose connections are resident at Exeter, Paid. a Miss Gawley, th e d aug ht er o f an of fi cer ' s widow livingat Port sea. The Clarendon, after a boisterous passage, made the Lizard Lights on the coast of Cornwall. She endeav oure d to get i nto Plymone a on the 6th in s t. Sound, but owing to strong north-west gales she was tr ultimately b ore up f or P ortsmouth, cable to reach it, an d oeing at the time close hauled, and going under a close-reefed foresail, and a storm try-sail. On the evening of th. e 10th the weather consi derably increased in violrocr.,, and th e u t most exert i ons were used eith er to rear tl. the Motherbank or Spithead. During the night it ble,vr a heavy gale of wind, and was intensely dark. Bet.wr;en four and five o'clock in the the utmost, consternation t oo k p l ace on b oard, morning in consequence 'f land being discovered close on the larboard bow 'ale mainsail was endeavoured to be set, for the purr,ose of obtaining an offing, but, from the fury of the te , 4est such could not be accomplished. At this time ti".e vessel was shipping immense quantities of water. The 'scene, as described by one of the survivors, wao of the, most agonising nature—it was impossible to discern 'any object but the foam which lay upon the shore. Shortly before day light signals of distress were made, and the inhabitants on the coast, chiefly consisting of 'ashermen, repaired to the beach, but were unable to rene.ter any as sistance from the impossibility of any boat existing in the sea that was running. The captain and crew, in this cri tical situation, were perfectly at a loss to kaow what coast they were driving on, owing to the niglit having been so remarkably hazy. Just at break of day the ill-fated vessel struck on the south side of the Isle of Wight, near Chale bay, and immediately went to piece;,, the sea making com plete inroads over her. On the catastrophe taking place, a vast number of persons had• assembled on the beach. During the day quantities of the wreck, as well as parts of tho cargo drifted as} fore. The second mate, George Harris, and two seamen named Burney and Thompson, were the only indivie,uaks who escaped, which they effected by lashing thr.:ms'elves to some spars. They have, however, received r , ons'iderable contusions, and Thompson is not expected te, strrvive. Up to Tuesday evening only six bodies were waFled ashore ; vit., those of Miss Pem berton and the s•mmen. It has not yet been ascertained who are the. `proprietors of the vessel, or whether it was, with the carp 0, insured. On the same dreadful night, the jllarlborough, another large rarrchant vessel, was wrecked at Torbay, near Ply mout)",, and Captain Rutt and the whole crew perished. Tire particulars of the latter calamity are not yet known. A number of other vessels have been lost at Falmouth and other outports ; but no authenticated accounts of their names, and the sacrifice of life, have yet reached London. The late gales have also occasioned immense damage on shore, particularly at our seaports on the western and southern coasts. %)._,:,,:ir.:,,,, f 41,,,__, ..... 2 . ; ,,. 1 / 44 yi t. ,.. 1--..-f_, •,ii/ ~.-,:f*--e , t - ' - '' '&i' :, CONSERVATIVE DINNER.

On Friday, on the London and Manchester down mail arriving at the Red Lion, Leek, Staffordshire, where the horses are changed, one of the passengers could not be found, and the mail went forward without him. In a few moments after it had started the report of a pistol was heard in the house, and on proceeding to the water-closet, the unfortunate and missing passenger was found to have shot himself with a pistol under the right tar. He died in a few moments. The deceased, apparently a foreigner, seemed to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years of age- On examining his pockets, a considerable sum of money (500/. or 6001.) was found in sovereigns, doubloon?, and f ore i gn notes.
