AT GLOUCESTER.—This gallant general. whose skilful and
intrepid conduct during the late arduous campaigns in India
and the Sikh territory gained for him such warm eulogium
and approbation, has been iintted to a grand public benquet
to be given by the mayor and municipal authorities and
citizens of the city of Gloucester. The invitation has been
accepted by Sir Joseph,and will take place at about the end
of the month, and will be held at the Concert-room. The
immediate occasion of the entertainment arose from the
gallant general passing through Gloucester on his way to
Ledbury, in order to visit his relations. At Ledbury he
was received with a hearty weleeminv peal of bells ; and at
Dymeck, where he visited his nephew, J. Cum TLackwell,
Esq., similar demonstrations took place. On passing

dry fish left Purtnahaven, Islay, for ?onrush. The crew
consisted of seven persons—the skipper 0 native of the
\E;
II glilands), three men from Colcraire, one nom near ?on-
rush, and two women, who owned part of the cargo.
When about three quarters of a mile from the Islay shore
a smart breeze got up, and drove the boat, in spite of the
t Mate of those on board, un a sunken rock. 8 i great was
the force with which she struck that she instantly went to
pieces and sunk, and, melancholy to slate, four out of the
seven met a watery grave. Two out of the four drowned
belonged to this locality, via , Samuel Williamson, Cole-
raine, and James M'Veagh, Islandfiecky, near ?onrush.
The other two drownt d were the women, whose names
we have not learnrd. The emetics saved were the skipper,
and Donald and John Bradley. of Ciilemine. Williamson
has left a widow and five children to liiiwail his loss, and
what makes the ease the more distree'ing as regards him is,
that on the evening of the melancholy occurrence his widow
gave birth to twins.—Coleraine Chruturle.

the northern portion of the Friocipality the crops are look-

and, in several places wh IV Coning has been commenced,
the yield is pronounced good, the ear well filled, and the
grain in fine cwirlition. The oat crop is considered not a
