The Killarney board of guardians have adopted a
long string of resolutions on the subject of the go-
•ernment advances. They set forth in detail all the
difficulties with which the union has had to struggle
for some years past. observing that they have in-
variably met thug liabilities, and paid the rate in
aid without a murmur to the last farthing. They
conclude by saying that whatever may be the de-
cision of the government with reference to the re-
payment of the annuity they will obey the law.
The resolutions were prepared by Mr. H.A. Herbert,

We understand (says the Freeman) that a new
claimant, stated to have superior tights to other liti-
gants in the Thewks case, hus arisen in the person
of Mr. JamesThewlest, after an absence of forty years
from his native hind, to assert his title to the vast
property lett by the late Edmond Kelly, of Nlerrion-
square, in this city, and that it is expected his
apisorance will be the 111C311,4 of setting aside the
decree lately pronounced in the Court of Delegates in
the Theo les and Kelly litigation.

Ire. Moon:, the youthful bride of Mr. Moore, of
Ishorehill, Waterford, has written an interesting
letter to the eqrk. Cm,iii,d;on. describing the recent
narrow escape of herself and party from shipwreck,
in the ()wen Glendower yacht. Heading her com-
munication with a reference to l'sulto evil., 2elrd and

. _

W.• left Moore-hill em the 12th of September, ISA, to see
the Lakes of Killarney, so celebrated fur their beauty end
the picturesque landscape which surrounds them; and
Isnot determined to proceed there by sea, we embarked in
our row yacht, the Owen Cal embower, 12.1 ton. burden,
fitted up with every accommodation both for ornament and
comfort. Oar crew tttt isteol of ten men, with Mr. Moore,
myself and page, together with two ladies, who had been
remaining with us on a visit at Nloonlaill. We could not
take the yacht farther than Kenniare 'Liver, 20 mile. frum
Killarney, after Koenig sailed from %oughal, round
the sout.Vera coast of Inland, to that point. We spent
a few days on the lakes amid warmly that well deserverthe Mgt estimation in which it is hell by the tourist,
awl then returned to our yacht, purposing to take a northerly
e arse off the island, visiting the Giant's Caere way, and
thus return to our destination. We left the lionnare
'hirer on :Sunday night, September 21st, and did not make
much way in emoraimeateee of prevailing calms, until the
morning of Wednesel ey,2l;h4wheu a breeze sprung up from
umber which we ste, cat me-rrily atom, has iNt...11
the blooket Rocks at the rate of 11 knots (miles) an hour.
Our captain suggested going into Boland'. allay, the mouth
of the Shannon, but Mr. Moore' not wishing to lOW' a lead-
ing veinal to Galway, objected. The captain replied that he
voild prefer not going into Galway before the morning, as
we had to go tin miles on a ye ry dangerous toast, and it
meet hell o'clock at night before we reached. However,
SIC proceeded, and the breeze iuereasing, our captain bared
she would overrun her course, and in the nautical phrase
"put her to." We alined between Pia and nun. The
breve now became a pale, and at 9 o'clock we retired with-
our tea, end lay in our berths trembling with fear. The
stone raged in all its fury, and at II o'clock a tremendous
crush came, arrallilijakat with groan, from the men. We
were loofa/mud that the mast, sails, de., had been swept
away, and t e put on our alreescw immediately, for she would
gn down in ten minutes. In our night dresses we reached
the deck. Oh, what a scene met our distracted
glee. ! Imagination could with difficulty coueeive,
much leas language deocribe it. The only hope
was the Imats.—hut, alas! one glance at the billows
rising mountains high 'hewed us that hope wu vain,
a Joey could out live for one moment iu ouch • sea. The
wreck was filling fast. To add to our misery fire hands
were dialled by the falling of the mut—the jib-boom
was thumping agaiust the stern, threatening to knock her
to pieces; the sea rushing in so fearfully through two
leak. wheel, were there that we thought every instant she
would till and sink into the yawning waves. In addition
to this the re were three toes organ, in her stern, a carious
obstacle Ira :cubing the leak, and the few hands left us had
eutlaient to employ them in haling out the water from the
Whey' eshin, which was rushing iu from above the sky-
light hissing berm knocked out by the fall of the mast. A '
new entrain, had to be made through the wainscot of the
Lida :cabin tog, t at the sails—no instrument could be found
suitable to make the breach —all was darkness and confu- '
sine. They cried out for a tomahawk—l went into the am-
munition men, and gaped about in vain amongst swords,
muskets, and pistols—the breath wws at length made, a large
mirror shivered to atoms, by which an aperture was formed
large eivough to :admit two men, who lay on their bands and
hoe, s holding up against the leak the beds and blankets
which were given to them fur that purpose.
Illow we longed fur the morning—hope buoyed us up
with the prospect of dela, ranee. and that succour Might be
afforded bum the Arran laglithouee, which was eight
miles N.S. of us. We eennmended ourselves in prayer to
Alien:hie (Sod, nod ardently wished for the light of the
coming day. In the meantime we were not idle, and as
the pump could nowhere be found, we had with the buckets
unceasingly to bale out the water, which wan now :red then,
in spite of all our efforts, fronting upon us. Daylight at last
dawned, • !ins the realities of our perilous position, and
celebrating our worst apprehensions. l's pet the jilemom
rut of and overhauled was our first consideration, in the
perfornsenee of wine% the strength of the crew was com-
pletely exhausted. The labour of them, who had been unin-
juneel wan so &Mum., and with no hope of being saved, it is
not astonishing, under these eircurnstancesdhat they trot down
&lensed and totally dispirited. I feel thankful to the God
of
all mercies that he gave we strength sod nerve, hour
after hour, to cheer and exhort them. Mr. aluore's pre-
sence auk encouraging words produced some confidence in
their Matte, and by working ourselves we excited them
to Nether exertions. The pump, too, was found of more
avail than the bucket in keeping her dry, although it was
extremely dangerous to work it, the bulwarks having been
carried away.
Toe morning had passed away, and to our eyes straining
across the foaming tide nu objector help presented itself, but
now at 11 o'clock, to our great joy, the man at the pump
espial a vessel in the distance, coming, as we thought, to our
especial aid, from the Arran Light-house, but alas, light-
house. are not provided with any remedy except caution—
and t►e beacon peeved to us to be the John of Odessa,

mile off, when resuming his voyage from the Galway road.
to New York, he having put back the night before (the
24th) fearing to encounter the gale which wrecked us, and
also endangered his ship.
Tha wind having changed from N.W. to N.E., it blew, as
the sailors say, "great guns ;" the force of the waves had in-
creased, and swept over the wreck with fearful violence.
The John of Odessa was bearing down on us under easy sail,
but whoa endeavouring to near us she crowded all cancan,
thereby endangering he r safety and the lives of the pas-
sengers sad crew, two hundred in number. Twelve times
she nailed round our wreck, striving in vain to near us ; we
fearing each time would be the last, from the great dis-
tant., (ems miles) she had to tack before she could return to
our yacht. Now hope—now fear arising in our minds—
the means of succour was in view, but not available—
what agonising, what anxious moments were these. As
the sob's barque approached, all was hope—as she receded
from oar eight there arose all the hereon of our situation.
This wm the moment of prayer ; for then it was we prayed
in earnest. No earthly hope was ours—oar only hope was
centred in the God of comfort and of all consolation—the
pallid hue of death was visible on each countenance—we
importuned heaves that the violence of the waves might be
abated, and the result .bowed that God heard our payees..
Once more we resumed our exertions below at the pumps,
also clearing out a quantity of her iron ballast. W • again,
and e. it were for the last time, tried to cheer and encourage
the men by working ourselves, and entreating them to take,
fur our sakes, some claret and eider, which was all we had
remaining; a drop of chilly water was all I had to quench
my dying thirst. Meanwhile the John of Odessa lay to, and
the sea became comparatively smooth, which Captain Hein
observing, nobly lowered his boat and volunteered to come
to our rescue; thin the mate, Thomas Larkins (Irishman),
opposed, saying the captain's life was too valuable to the
passengers to be hazarded, and that he would go in his stead.
The cook was the next to volunteer, Thos. Jones, a Welsh-
man, and three other'', William Hamilton Gibson, an Ame-
rican ; Benjamin Archer, Irishman ; Carl Sparkowlsty, a
Russian; and George Vintze, a HILISitIII, accompanied the
first map, Thom.. Larkins, on thin perilous occasion.
Nothing could be more praiseworthy than their noble efforts
to save the lives of their fellow-creatures. With mach difii-
tally they came alongside of us, and took Me,. Massy, Miss
Lewellyn, Mr. Moore and myself, and put us safely on board
the John of Odessa. Three times did this noble crew re-
turn to the wreck to rescue our fifteen souls, and it was not
until can o'clock at night that their arduous, perilous, and
humane task was completed, when, thanks be to God, we
wee: all safe and smite within this noble ship, which was our
deliverer from a watery grave, after having been exposed to
such toil and labour, lath of mind and body, for above
twenty-four hours. The cabin passengers, Mrs. Tibeaudo,
her efaugliter and nephew of York-street, Dublin, be-
stowed every care, kindziew;, and attention, oar situasion
