LAMENTABLE SHIPWRECKS. By the Mail from Dublin we have received news which shows that the storm hes been very disastrous on the Irish coast, chiefly between Dublin and Drogheda. The brig Shannon, of Whitehaven, struck on a reef of sharp. pointed rocks, about two miles north of Balbriggan. Four of the men took to the boat, and though it was swamped tee Men were dsitted ashore alive. Five men remained on board the vessel, which was at length capsized by the vio lence of the waves, and the melt for a few minutes were seen clinging to the keel—the next wave swept three of them away, and they were drowned ' • a fourth caught hold of a spar, and was save d. T ire fifth held on to the keel, but when reached the vital spark bad fled. A large brig, name unknown, laden with wheat, sup posed to be from Wexford, and bound to Liverpool, was totally wracked, at Closhcraboat, and all hands supposed to be lost, as there was no account of any of them. Another wreck took place at Atinagaseon, near the sane place. Name of the vessel unknown. She was dashed . into pieces. A large vessel, about 700 tons burthen. named the Rosc, of Belfast, Ikloateemery, master, was driven violently on shore at Skerries, but most fortunately the crew, consisting of fourteen men and one woman, a passenger, were all got off safely from the wreck. She was timber laden. and left Quebec this day five weeks. She was bound fur Belfest. A large quantity of timber s and other things belonging to ships, were picked up be tween Palbriggan and Drogheda ; the figure he ad of a ship and a piece of board with the name " Fairy Queen" was found at Balbriggan. Several small craft were more or less injured at Balcloyle, Nlalarride, and along the: coast. A large seeeel, supposed to be an Indiaman—but all inquiry proved unsuccessful to ascertain anything about her—was seen in a wrecked condition off Ireland'. Eye. At Kingstown Harbour, a timber-vessel, the William and Isabella, of Suntlerland; was disuasted close to the quay, against ish•ch the surge of the waves drove her with violence: beyond her was a coal-vessel, which had completely settled down, her masts standing above water. At the entrance of the inner harbour lay the Kingston, of Liverpool, bound to Afrca, which had put in for shelter at the commeacensent of the storm; she was secured by a hawser to the far side of the harbour, and by a cable to the quay, and had every appearance of riding out the storm in safety, when a cry was heard that another vessel was dragging her anchors ; this proved to be the Capri corn, of Liverpool, a West Indian vessel, from San Do mingo, with a valuable cargo of rum and sugars on hoard. She had been anchored. at a distance of about 400 yards ahead of the Kingston; it was about ten mi n ute s t o th ree o'clock when she began to drag her anchor ; it was fully half-past three before she reached the devoted Kingston. As soon as it was perceived that the culiision was inevita ble, directions were given to cut away the cable of this latter vessel. and to get her round, so that there might he less resistance ; before this rraeceuvre eould be accom plished the stern of the Capricorn had dashed against the bows of the Kingston, the bead of which went crashing and grinding richt through the I)l4w:irks of the former; at every gust of wied this scene of destruction was re peated, the etsorrnous bowsprit of the Kingston spring ing and starting from its seat, as though it were a lath. It was now evident that were the vessels to con tinue in this regard to each other, both would be speedily dashed to atoms. The crew on 'beard the Capricorn had done nothing ; it was reported they had been ill, and were unable to move. The greeer part of the crew of the Kingston leaped on board, and commenced cutting away at the rigging to the windward. Whilst doing this the remainder of the crew got on shore, with the exception of one man, who, with great foolhardiness, remained on board. As soon as the rigging was cut away, the masts snapped across and tumbled over on the Kingston ; to all appearance one tell right on the mast who remained on board, but he with much presence of mind contrived to give a leap away, end his arm only was caught. We be lieve it was orly bruised. not broken. At eleven o'clock on Saturday night an alarm of fire w a s g iv e n on board the Kingston. An opinion generally prevailed that there was a great quantity of gunpowder OR board, and this naturally had the (-fleet of preventing the necessary exerCoas to extintu sh the fire. The conse quence was, that. the devouring element got head ; it burned during the entire night, and on Sunday the vessel appeared completely consumed to the water's edge. The Capricorn, which lay near, bad the side next the fire con siderably injured—the burning mast and rigging of the Kingston fell across her deck, set fire to everything with which it came in contact, and were it not for the timely assistance afforded, she would, no doubt, have shared the fate of the ogher. Opinion is contradictory as regards the origin of the tire ; however, the prevailing supposition is, that some persons contrived to get on board with dishonest intentions, and that having made rather too free with rum. of which there was a large quantity in the vessel, the fire took place by accident. This idea is strengthened by the fact that a boy, in a deep state of inebriation, was found concealed between the rocks were the brig lay. The Kingston was the property of Cnarles 11 orsfall and Sons, of this town, brit we have not been able to ascertain it the vessel or cargo were insured. In Addition to the shove, we have ascertained that "The Success," from Demerara to Dublin, with sugar, experienced a heave sea and violent gale on Saturday evening, at five o'clock. She had her main top-sail and reef fore-sail blown away, and the con seqnence was, that she was thrown on her beams, and was filine with water when assistance was efforaled ; she was brought into har • bour without sustaining any additional injury. A large portion of the cargo is much damaged, and part of her ground tier of sugar was wholly washed away. At Ballebrsck. midway between Killiney and Bray, a seaman's hat was picked up, in the lining of which there was written—" John Trant, Liverpool, September the ' 16th, 1843, three." The particulars of the remaining disasters are given I with sufficient detail in our Monday's shipping news. REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—The rent for the week ending. yesterday, has tumbled down to £289. CHRIST CHURCH SC Sunday, October 27111, two seronms were preached in Christ Church, on beh4lf of the Christ Church Na7iona! Schi-ols ; that in the morning by the Rev. Fielding Ould ; that in the evening by the Rev Dr. Byrth. The or-Hee:ions (including a do nation of £5) amounted to the sum of £57. A handsome ring was put into the box in the evening. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE AT SEA.—On the 14th of October, the Ameriz.an trader, Lien Rumiiey, Captain Simpson, of t l ull, being on her way home from St. John's, New Brunswick, was struck on the larboard quarter by a tremendous sea, which washed the captain and the cools to the further end of the ship with such violence as to. cause their deaths shortly afterwnrds. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY.—Yesterday, two boys, one about 15 years of age, and the other only nine, ware charged w•th stealing several handkerchiefs from a shop in St. James's-street. The older boy wns sent to the House of Correction for a month. The parents of the younger Mr. Rushton ordered to he brought up, remarking that he could not punish such a child, as to was evidently an instrument in the hands of bigger boys. INQUESTS BEFORE MR. STATEIAMI, DEPUTY Bo- ROUGH CORONER. —Orr Saturday, on view of the body of Daniel Harrison. a working men, aged 52, which was found on' Friday, tioataig in the Queen's Dock. He had been missed about a fortnight, and was rather addicted to drinking. Vr-rdiet, " fou. - 41 drowned." Same day, on the kidy of Alfred Fitzpatrick, a child of three years old. who was Irft a short time in a kitchen by himself, in Salt ney-strcer, on Thursday last, when his clothes caught fire, and he was so much burned that, notwithstanding surgical attendance, he di , d on the following day. Verdict, " Death from burning, but how his clothes became ignited there is no ev;dence to show."—Yesterday, on view of the body of Edward Davidson, aged 50. The deceased was going on board of a flat at the Duke's pier -head, on the previous Monday ntgbt, when he fell from a ladder into the. hold, and sustained a fracture of the left leg. He was conveyed to the Southern Hospital, but mortification set in on Tuesday, and caused his death on Friday. Tee jury returned a verdict of " Accidsntal death," accordingly. AN IMMENSE CHIMNItY.—TiIe large chimney at the works. of Messrs. William Hill and Sons, manufacturing chemFsts,Vauxhall-road, is now completed, arid is certainly the most lofty, and consequently the most srominent spiral erection in our town—forming, in tact, a conspicuous. land-mark from the river, as well as the opposite Cheshire shore fur many miles round. Friday last was the " rear.. ing day," when the apex of thiS huge and tarering Shaft was surmounted by two British fla,s, which, though large, appeared but the size of handkerchies. Through.. out the day numbers of parties ascended, in a bucket, hoisted by a winch in the interior, to the giddy top. whence they obtained a magnificent view of the town and neighbourhood, Cheshire, the sea to vest extent, &c. They appeared to the spectators below to be no larger' than dolls popping their heads over the top or capital. The height of the shaft is 309 feet, being about 80 feet higher from the ground than the spire of St. George.* Church, but springing from land apparently rather lower. It is of perfect conical form, and was regularly unturned by rule as the work prcceed'd, and not, as is s( me• imes customary, merely by the eye of the workman. The summer season of three years has been employed in erect ing it. It is forty feet in diameter at the base, (on a lel;c1 with the ground,) and nine feet in diameter at the top, where there is an ornamental cornice and blocking. The first course of bricks in the foundatiee was seven.. teen yards in diameter. The circular wall below is , ac cording to our own rapid measurement, about five feet two inches in thickness. The whole lias the appearance of bei •g perfectly smcoth, and true in its bearings, great pains h as eng been taken to rend er i t secure. The brick work, though plain, is one of the best and firmest speci mens we have tern in any building of similar elevation. The bricks are all without a flaw, and the mortar was ground by the engine in a manner rendering it equal to the best cements. It is generally found to be a difficult mat ter to accomplish such a work without its warping, and consequent necessity of sawing. But, in this instance, the care and time taken have secured the most gretifying result. There are some chimneys in great Britain of a rather higher elevation; tut this is entitled to rank, at least, amongst the highest. It is about the same apparent • height as the too welt-known soap•boilcry establathnieurs at Runcorn; but short ut that of Messrs. Tennante. of Glasgow, w hien is, if we remember correctly, about 409 feet. After all, it is a very msgiiificent "bristle on the back of nature," end great credit is due to the aroprie tors for their liberal and judicious ex eralir tire irt minder ing has once an object of interest from its nsaanitutle, and, ns regards !he public in the neig bourhood, perfectly safe. The object is, of course, ro carry on exit l.tions from the works, so as not to affect health or resetation. NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

Mr. Cubitt has further stated, that this Line is also th most favourable as regards the expense of construction, and that his estimate of £900,000 is fully sufficient for Compleiing the undertaking, including the plant and every other expense up to the opening of the Railway. The Company will be in a situation to submit evidence to Parliament that the traffic will yield a return of eight per cent. to the Shareholders. After the act is obtained, interest at the rate of four per cent. will be allowed upon the calls from the date of pay ment until the Line is opened for traffic.

GENTLEMEN, SOME one has publicly addressed you under the ano nymous signature of " Plain Dealer." From the whole tenor of his letter, I think I am justified in stating that he is not one of us, but a Caledonian Shareholder ; and I challenge him to a disclosure of his real name. It I am mistaken, and if he, notwithstanding, dislikes pub lishing his name and address, let him send them to our Secretary, with his assurance as a gentleman, that he wrote the letter in question, and I shall be satisfied. My name and address are already communicated to the Secretary. I wish I could believe his statement, that the projected Caledonian Railway would not injure the Edinburgh arid Glasgow Railway. But be admits that it ii a parallel line between the two termini at Edinburgh and Glasgow, only ten miles longer than ours. Farther, he cannot dray (although he is cautiously silent on the subject) that the Caledonian and Scottish Central Lines will riso afford an independent rival communication, as short as ours, from Glasgow to Stirling, and thence to the whole Nolth of Scotland. Such being the case, I think it revirts no argument to prove to you that these two undertakings, if sanctioned by Parliament, would affect seriously the prosperity of our undertaking. It seems to me quite un necessary for us to consult any neutral Engineer or Agent on such a sot je;:t. Indeed, every Shareholder has now the admitted Nets befome ti'm, arid can judge for himself. I think, therefore. that " Plain Dealer," in place of writ ing an anonymous letter to you in the Newspapers would have done better (if he really is one of our number) had he attended the I rte Special General Meeting, and sup ported his friend Colonel Graham, the Chairman of the Caledonian Line, who, although he holds only one share in the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, came to protest against our proceedings. Colonel Graham, when at our meeting, intimated his intention, as he had no supporter there, to endeavour to stir up opposition among you to the resolution of the Special General Meeting, and I presume this letter of Plain Dealt!'" is the fiat advance of the forlorn hope. The Chairman's circular to you. and the plan of the Rival Lines which accompanied it, put matters, however, in too clear a light to admit of your being misled by any such attempt. _ _ " Plain Dealer," like Colonel Graham, states that the injury to be inflicted on our Railway is unintentional If it were so, the fact would still be no consolation to us for the loss of our money. But how do these g , ntlemen reconcile the unintentional character of the injury with the recent alteration on the point of divergence of the two forks recommended by the Commissioners in 18.11, the only object of which evidently is to shorten the distance between Edinburgh and Glasgow ?—or with this other fact which has just now come to light, viz., that in the Parliamentary Notices of the. Caledonian Line, there is a branch intended to cut off the apex of the triangle near Lanark, and there by still farther shorten the distance betweet► Edinburgh and Glasgow ? When the plans arc deposited next month, we shall probably find that the actual difference of distance is even less than is now given out. There already exist, besides the turnpike roads, two great lines of communication between Edinburgh and Glasgow—one by the Canals, and the other by Railway. There is invested in these undertakings about three mil lions of money. They are perfect so far as frequency of opportunities, speed, cheapness, and safety, are concerned. In none of these respects is it even alleged that this new undertaking will benefit the public ! There being, there fore, no advantage guaranteed to the public—there being no possibility of gain to the promoters of this Caledonian Railway (for there is not traffic to support the triple com petition), can it be expected that Parliament will ever ,auction such an unjust invasion of private property ? It is superfluous to notice to you the statement of " Plain Dealer," that there are some of those who are officially connected with this Railway who are also pro moters of the proposed Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Line. The statement itself is exaggeiated, but it is well for us that it is even in part true, and I hope the effect of the intimate union of the two undertakings will be a con tinuatece of the cordial co-operation of all parties against the common enemy. I beg, however, to state that I my self have no connexion whatever with the Glasgow, Marl fries. and Carlisle Line, or with any of the other under takings named in the preceding letter, excepting your own. I shall only notice in conclusion what " Plain Dealer" has said as to the map circulated by our Chairman, show ing (as he says) an actual connexion between the Edin burgh and Glasgow and Ayrshire Railways. It does not do so. On referring to it you will find that the " con nexion" is a dotted line, as are all the other proposed lines shown on the map. The Glasgow Junction Railway, however, is meant to connect the termini of these two lines, and will be before Parliament next session. I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant. SHAREHOLDER.

A most be utiful specimen of workmanship i n t hi s material is now exhibiting at Mr. Key's, in 80ld -street. It is a splendid Chimney Glass Frame, of foliage sur mounted by a basket of fruit—the graceful effect of which cannot be described in the limits of a paragraph. CIGARS.—It will be seen by an advertisement in another column, that in addition to the extensive tobacco manufactory recently established by Messrs. W.
