Irishmen will see with pride and pleasure the list of the sub scription to this annuity, which we this day publish. It amounts to upwards Of TWELVE THOUSAND POUNDS. This is the reward of long and zealous and effective labour in the cause of the peo ple—it is the tribute of a grateful country to a benefactor. No man ever laboured so long and so well in the cause of the peo ple as Mr. O'Connell, and no country was ever more grateful for services done or intended, than poor Ireland—poor in purse, but rich in resources, and rich in spirit and in thankfulness. There is no intention, we believe, of at present collecting the annuity, on account of the distress into which the tithe war has plunged the people; but, of course, it is only a deferring of the time ; for the country cannot afford to lose Mr. O'Connell's services. Greater questions than have yet been settled remain to be discussed, and require his vast abilities ; and the people will not—they ought not, receive these services for nothing.— Dublin Freeman's Journal. O'CONNELL ANNUITY.—WeII may Mr. O'Connell advovate agitation. It has proved a good mulch cow to him and his. The papers of this morning contains a list of subscriptions (four columns of names and parishes) to the last year's annuity, amounting to a sum of £12,242 4s. sd. Thus Mr. O'Connell, by his political trade, turns in an iocome more by one third than that received by the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and ex ceeding by one half the salary of the Chief Justice • and this without depriving him of his professional emoluments, or dis qualifying. him from exercising that system of itinerant black guardism in which he so greatly rejoices.—Dublin Eveninf Mail. THE POLITICAL UNIONS.—THE 88TH REGIMENT.—We are authorized to contradict a statement made by one of the orators at the Trades' Union—" That four of the soldiers of that dis tinguished corps the 88th had enrolled themselves as members "of that body." This appears, even without a contradiction be ing given, impossible, from the fact that the service companies of that regiment are at Corfu, the reserve at Chatham, and not a single soldier of the 88th is at present in Dublin.—Dublin Times. On Christmas night, Major Rose, of the 92d regiment, sta tioned in Cashel, had a very narrow escape from death ; he dined abroad that day, but a little before his return home, a private of the name of M'lntosh, who had been for some time in confinement, possessed himself of a firelock, which he loaded, and then proceeded to the major's room, the door of which he found open ; having entered it he searched, happily in vain, for his officer. The unfortunate man, who was in liquor, was im mediately secured, deprived 'of his gun, and handcuffed; next morning he was sent off under a strong escort to head-quarters at Fermoy.—Clonmel Herald. CAPTAIN Roo( DISCOVERED.-The outrages from which sprung Captain Rock, originated, it is known, on the operty of Lord Courtenay, (now Earl of Devon) in Limericic. Mr. Matthew Barington, Crown Solicitor for Munster, in his testi mony before the select committee on the state of Ireland, a copy of which reached us this morning, thus detects the "real Captain Rock:—"The CaPtain Rock of Ireland was a tenant or resident on the estate, his name was Dillane. We took him as an approver, and it tended much to the . peace of the country; he is now in America That was the origin of the Rockites.' Globe of Thursday, Jan 3. REPEALERS.—AFFECTION FOR PROTESTANTS.—On Christ mas Day—" the better day the better deed," the Cathedral of St. Patrick was, as is usual on ,the anniversary of this great. Christian festival, excessively crowded. Towards the close of the service a set of miscreants, in the holiday garb of trades men, and supposed to be of the "Trades," tumultuously rushed into the church from the door way near the altar. The greatest confusion followed their inroad. Some of them sprung upon the communion table, where they brandished bludgeons, and continued with their hats on, calling out for the Anthem ! It was found necessary, from the turbulence and indecency . of their conduct and deportment, as well as from the numbers in which they . appeared, and their evident dptermination to outrage the service of religion as well as the feelings of the congregation, to forego the sermon intended, and is proceed with the anthem with which the evening prayers terminate, with a view of clear ing the church. This but a foretaste of what Protestants may expect, when Ireland is as she ought to be, " Great, glorious, and free, _ _ _ First flower of the earth, and first gem of the sea." —Dublin Evening Mail. AWFUL ACCIDEN T.—A private letter from Tralee mentions to us a distressing accident which occurred on Saturday last, in the neighbourhood of Killarney, in which two lives were lost, and the safety of a most valuable life endangered. On Satur day.morning, Mr. Morgan John O'Connell, of Grena, accom panied by his relative, 111 r. Humphrey Moynihan, left Grena, on a shooting excursion. In proceeding to their sporting ground . they had to cross the Flesk River, three or four miles from Kil larney, by a ferry, which is constructed by a rope thrown across the stream, and a boat attached to it, which is worked by a sliding ring and rope, to enable the ferryman to guide it more steadily. The river was greatly swollen by the late rains, and the current rendered exceedingly rapid, so that it was thought prudent that only Mr. O'Connell, the ferryman, and a poor female, who sought the passage, should attempt it at first. It is believed that the ferryman was intoxicated, but by some acci dent he lost hold of the main rope, the boat was swung from her course, and he flung overboard. Mr. O'Connell instantly used every exertion in his power to rescue the unfortunate man, and had nearly succeeded, when the efforts of the poor fellow to get into the boat filled it with water and swamped it. The woman clung to the rope for a few minutes, but overpowered by alarm, benumbed with cold, and exhausted by the force of the current, she sunk and was lost. The ferryman struggled a short time, but without avail, and also sunk: Mr. O'Connell being a good swimmer, had generously risked his own safety to aid him, but finding himself become faint from exertion, and the excessive cold, he was obliged to leave him to his fate, and save his oWn life, which he happily effected. Mr. Moynihan, unfortunately, could not swim, and by some fatality, the people belonging to the neighbourhood of the ferry were all absent at the moment, so that even when assistance did arrive it was too late. The accident was a most awful one; but had the young gentleman, whose life was so much endangered, shared the fate of his un fortunate companions, not only his family and neighbourhood, but the country of his birth, would have had reason to regret his loss. We know no more amiable or promising young man. —Dublin paper. Three men, have been committed to Worcester Gaol, charged with manslaughter, in having occasioned the death of Edward Biggs, during the progress of the late election at Kiddermin ster, on which - occasion the three prisoners were special con stables. • MURDER BY A RESURRECTIONIST.—Last night an attack was made by a body of resurrectionists on the persons guarding the church-yard of goorge's parish. In this encounter the beadle of the parish, a man named Thompson, was shot dead, and his assailant haithis leg broken, and was otherwise so desperately wounded, that he now lies in a most dangerous state in Jervis street hospitili c --Gto4e. CHILD STOLEN. 7 -0D Monday night a child, six weeks old, was stolen from its mother, Isabel Brand, who resides in Hang man's-close, Edinburgh, and no trace of it can be found. Isabel Brand states, that on Monday night she met a woman in Nicholson -street, whom she dicl not know, who asked her the way to some street which she named in the Old Town, and on being informed, then asked her to go and get a dram with her. They accordingly went into a pubtic•house in Crosscauseway, and had some whiskey. The stranger woman asked her to go out to a shop and buy a yard of flannel to her, and she would hold her child till she came hack. Brand went, but on her return found neither woman nor child. All efforts to find either have been fruitless. Previous to entering the public house, the woman said she was going to see her aunt in Dal keith. She appeared about 30 years of age, and wore a mantle of Rob Roy tartan, and white straw bonnet. The mother, of course, is in a most piteous state of anxiety about her child. — % Edinburgh Cuurant. A SQUALL ON THE AFRICAN COAST. We were progressing fairly in our work, when an en the shape of the elements began to appear. It was a beau starlightlnight, the moon shone brilliantly, the wind was ge and the sea as smooth as a duck-pond: about ten o'cl. small black speck in the east soon extended itself into an $ thunder-cloud; it seemed an instant only, and the whole ho was darkened—" The sky was changed; and such a chap The brightness of the night had passed away like a dreamt, a tornado was about to supply its place. We knew not the! of the foe; but the cheering cry of—" Bear a hand, lads, b the squall comes !" indicated too certainly the presages d officer's mind. It fell to my lot to be ordered to land the po in the yawl, laving as few hands only as were absolutely r site for the labour required. My orders were to place it i empty house which the crew of the brig had inhabited; and ing that the darkening cloud increased apace, and was ra approaching, I was anxious to get clear of my charge, or at rate, to reac h the shore before the squall burst. We had hundred yards to go, and scarcely had we "shoved off" the forked lightning began to show itself in quick and flashes, while the loud roar of the thunder increased in for it neared the ship. We had a tarpaulin in the boat to cove powder-barrels; but this was no security against the lightn The boat appeared not to move. No sooner did I look eager eye to the shore, than an anxious glance was cast at coming enemy; then would I double bank an oar , and pull tug with all my strength, whilst I cheered my little crew t additional exertion. We landed the very moment the st burst. Heavens! no yoetical imagination could convey the ' tied and varied feelings of that moment! To secure the ' was our first endeavour, which we effected by placing her fi on the beach, and taking the painter to a neighbouring The trees groaned as the whirlwind whistled through the 1 branches; and the rain fell, or rather came from the clouds, the force of water ejected from a fire engine. The long co nut bent like a bow its branchless trunk, surging about its 1 head in the storm; and the lightning, which flashed around n horribly quick succession, only showed us the wreck of which surrounded us, leaving us in tenfold darkness. The s which we saw through the momentary flame of fire, appea mass of ropes; the yards were hanging in different directin the fierce wind swung her about with the ease that a cradl moved; and the flash, which showed her broadside on, would succeeded in the moment by another which showed her bon the shore. The instant lull, before the loud wind and ho , roaring of the elements resumed their fury, only bore upon wings the confusion on board the ship and the brig;- and succeeding flash exhibited its own power, as it rent the raaint mast from top to bottom : a prolonged existence of a mome light showed us the fishes of the mainmast rent from their i' fastenings. The tithe elapsed 'sinhe the commencement of squall was about ten minutes, when a calm, as tranquil a infant's sleep, succeeded the storm. .The.sky assumed its fo serenity, the moon and stars again shone, and few could i gine, who had not witnessed a hurricane, the desolation ruin of an African tornado. We imagined our miseries at end, and cheerfully resumed our labours. Delusive hope! soon, too soon, we found the evil bad but commenced, and iFortune, already unkind, only smiled for the moment, to her frown more severely felt. In the mean time we availed selves of tile calm. The negroes still worked at the pump, our nautical term of " Spell oh !" gave way to some cie word in the black vocabulary. A party of hands were emplo to thrumb a sail—a process by which canvas is converted 0 0 mat; and this was intended to be hauled under the ship's bott to stop the leak, or at any rate to be so far sucked up into , holes as to block up in some degree the unwelcome apertunj The quarter-deck guns were tran s ferred to the brig; the s°` was made a little more snug aloft, and the launch despatch , e with ten men and a lieutenant to Sierra Leone, to desire 1, attendance of any man-of-war there, and to urge them to use possible despatch in coming to our assistance. The powder lc' safely landed, and we returned to the ship as wet and as tired rain and labour could make us. Every man in the ship I% turned to some use; the servants were taken from the lieutena° and midshipmen, and all on board put their shoulders to $J wheel in good earnest. _ _ Our men worked hard and in silence; but the blacks s , some of their outlandish songs, as they laboured at the punli and kept the winches at a rapid rotatory movement. This sin! ing soon gave way to fatigue; and from their surly looks ail sulky dispositions we argued no very flattering degree of oh t dience, it they were at all oppressed by labour. - Every thin was going on favourably : the different requisite works wet progressing towards a termination, and we anticipated solo hours' sleep, notwithstanding our misfortune. At one o'Clock in the morning, another black cloud showed i t head above the horizon, and soon spread its sable wings over t ffl whole sky. We knew what was coming, fast enough: the othe bower arid sheet anchor were let go, the ropes all properly 131 layed, for nothing can impede work more than wet ropes etel naily dabbing in one's face. The main-topmast, or rather it wreck, had been struck, and the fishes of the mainmast removed the quarter-deck guns had been hoisted into the brig, and it had done prodigies in the way of labour. The instant the sqii was observed, the brig was cast ofi; towed some small distant and well secured, as far as anchors could secure her; and it were soon prepared for the coming squall. It came howling a$ whistling in all the fury of the former one, accompanied by t . ,. 11 rain, thunder, and the "lightning; the wind moaned through V' rigging, coming from all quarters at once, and heeling the sbi first on one side, then the other, like boys on a see-saw. Tb blacks, who seem rather partial to a squall on shore, began t' manifest considerable uneasiness when they heard the unusa roar of strange sounds; and it was with some difficulty and gen tie violence that they were made to continue their w o rk. The toiled sullenly and silently, until a flash of lightning struck tk ship, and ran along the decks. The fatal flash left three me dead at the pumps; the blacks hid their faces in their, hand' and threw themselves on the deck, roaring and howling as di mally as the wind, creating a confusion quite beyond description A report that the lightning had gone through the ship Belo' occasioned an instant search: the monotonous sound of th water, as it bubbled through the leak forward, was audibl enough; but we could not trace any further damage, or discove any other mischief. During this interval the leak gained up° us, for the blacks disregarded all threats of punishment or promises of reward: the removal of the dead operated like charm; it is quite "out of sight, out of mind" in Africa; so the ir i blacks forgot the danger in the removal of their friends, and went to work again. Our men were kept at work, as-many a/ possible, on the sail, and the rest were sent to their hammock , to steal a few hours' sleep, for we had plenty to do, without inter mission, for at least a week. The squall passed over us, and leP us the same calm and beautiful night which had preceded i 0 coming. Day dawned, and what a sight presented itself! No longer the dashing Arethusa, in all the trim neatness of a well' ordered ship ! No longer the tall mast and the squared yard' the tight rope, and the man-of-war's appearance. She was al much altered in one night, as the face of a beauty after an attack of small-pox. A wreck—a palpable wreck; the crew jaded and fatigued; the blacks nearly exhausted; the rigging more like 5 Russian frigate's under repair, than the boasted neatness of an English man-of-war; around us a scene of desolation and de' struction, without a prospect of further assistance; and with an African sun rising, to scorch us into sickness and fever. Froni the shore, the ship's appearance was by no means flattering' The mainmast was standing; but here and there were piedg rent by the lightning: the long fish in front of the mast wag lying in the booms, with its end on the quarter-deck. It was $ sight to humiliate any pride such, as Nelson felt when his fleet was dispersed in a gale. One night had reduced us from the most powerful adversT-y the French had on that coast, to the level of the most insigificant cruiser. Alas ! our suffering were but begun, for hitherto the rain had kept us cool; hi l t heat and thirst, and sickness and fever, were yet to follow up the di d aster; and there is no calamity like a hot sun and a parch& throat whenfatigue and indisposition are to be endured. It wag useless prognosticating misfortunes •' it was the business of men and officers to remedy what had befallen us. The sail was eau' pleted and placed under the bottom, and it afforded no stow". gratification to find it answered its purpose effectually: it so fat relieved he men, that the hand-pumps kept her free, and we go' , rid of a great part of our black assistance: had they not been on board, the Arethusa would have sunk.—From the Life of a Saila' Mr. STANLEY has removed from his residence in Whitehall' yard to the spacious mansion in Carlton-gardens, lately occw pied by the Count de Salis.

THE REVENUE.-We understand that the probable deficiency of the Quarter's Revenue, as compared with the correspondet one of the last year, will be about £250,000. The deficiency !' principally in the excise, owing to a large amount of cane duty which was received in the quarter ending sth Jan. 183 1 ; and not in the present corresponding quarter. The eustoo very materially improved, probably . £200,000 on the, quarter. Many of the taxes are deficient owing to an arrear of colle, tion; which of course will add to the amount of a subSequel i e one. In the stamps there is a trifling deficiency, butice reason to believe that the receipt on the year, as compared wig the year ending sth Jan. 1832, may possibly show an,iinprov ta r ment of £400,000. The prospects for the future are ,upon tr j whole flattering, and it must be remembered that as the increar, of last quarter was about £700,000, it was expected that sorg'' I counterbalancing deficiency would occur in the present one.
