IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Fan. 6.
Captain Felton Harvey, Muter of the Hone to
the Viceregal Court, has been appointed Inspector
General of Primus in Ireland, in the room of Mr.
Galway.
A shipwreck, attended with loss of life, took plate
in the vicinity of Dublin in the snow storm of Elatur-
day. The Victoria schooner, Brown master, from
Glasgow to Lisbon, with cargoes of pig iron, ran
right upon the rocks of Dsikey Island at an early
hour on Saturday morning, when the captain and
one of the crew were unfortunately drowned, the
remaining men managing to get on the island, where
they were obliged to remain during the day, owing
to the difficulty of communicating with the main
land, the sea was so rough in the narrow intervening
channeL The vessel soon after went entirely to
pieces.
The critical position of a Liverpool and Dahlia
steamer during the snow storm is described as follows
in the liveman's Journal: _

- _
The City of Dublin Steam Company's steamer Windsor,
which sailed with pusoogers from Liverpool at seven
o'clock p.m. on Friday, was for a while in a position of
much danger, owing to the density of the snow storm which
prevailed during the greater pan of the passage to Kings-
town. It appears that between three and four o'clock on
Saturday morning the passengers were aroused from their
slumbers by the striking of the ship on ground, when it
was found that she had run on the Kish Bank, with which
she cam* in contact half-a-dosen times before she succeeded
in getting off. During this time, which occupied about 20
minutes, the utmost consternation prevailed amongst the
passengers, who rushed upon deck—many of them partly
undressed—the ladiscperticulsrly being in a state of the
most painful alum. Having at length got clear of the
bank, the vessel beat about for a considerable time, and
ran, as the passengers believed, in the direction of Lembo,
the snow falling thickly all the time, and it was not until
ten minutes past 11 cm., that the Windsor was brought
into Kingstown Harbour, where it was neeessary to /and
' the passengers is boats; all on board being, however, grate-
ful to Providence for the narrow escape which they had
from the dangers of such a passage.
A rapid thaw commenced about noon on Saturday,
and has since continued without any return of either
snow or frost. Some of the trains on the Irish
Southern and Western Railways were from seven to
eight hours overdue oa Saturday.
