DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.

The greatest anxiety prevailed yestvrday in Lloyd's, and
in fart in all parts of the City, to endeavour to ascertain
the name df the vessel that was wrecked on the Goodwin
Sands; but as late as five o'clock, (the hour for closing the
room, at Lloyd's) nothing could be learnt respecting her,
with the exception of the following paragraph. posted at
Lloyd's in the afternoon :—" A letter from Deal states,
that the ship loot was about boo or 600 tons, with figure
head, yellow sides, painted ports, and a poop, and there
appeared to be between thirty and forty people on the poop."

[FROM TETE AGENT TO Lcovn's.]
DrAt., Nov. 3.
About day-light tbis morning, blowing a violent gale
from the IV.S.W., a ship, apparently about 400 tons,
with a poop and figure-head, painted yellow sides and
ports, was observed under her topsails in a direction to-
wards the South Sand Htad, standing it. on the larboatd
tack. Almost immediately afterwards (half-past six in the
morning) she struck on the Goodwin, with a tremendous
sea going over her : the masts soon fell, and the crew as-
sembled on the poop, from which every succeeding sea les-
sened their numbers. Seven Deal boats Wein out to their
assistance, but such was the violence of the wind and sea,
that none of them could get near enough even to obtain
her name. The whole of the crew and all on board pe-
rished. She was under English colours, having, when
she first struck, hoisted her ens'gn, union downwards ;
the ship broke up entirely about noon, and disapPcared.
J.Loyn's. Nov. 4. 11 A.M.
The name of the vessel wrecked on the Goodwin Sands
isnot yet perfectly known. One or two names have been
mentioned ; but as the crew have perished, it would be
improper to state any name, except on the best authority ;
but she certainly appears to he from Bantbay. Several
bales of cotton have been picked vp, and landed at Brocd-
stairs, marked

[EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTETL]
DEAL. Nov. 3.
It is our painful duty to record the following detail's
of a distressing event which occurred off here this morn-
ing :

At day-light a large ship was observed on shore on the
inward part of the Goodwin Sands, on her beam ends; and,
soon after, the whole of her masts went by the board, at
which time the crew were distinctly seen from hence in a
cluster, apparently not knowing what part of the ship to
approach for aafety ; consequently several of our boats im-
mediately went off' to her assistance, each boat well manned.
The sea on the sand at this time was tremendous, and the
gale continued increasing, and our intrepid boatmen, at the
great hazard of their lives, used every effort they could
devise to get alongside of the ship to save the unfortunate
crew, who continued waving their hats and hands a$ a
signal to implore their humane assistance. Some of the
boats were within two cables' length of the ship, and re-
mained there as long as they possibly could, in the most
imminent danger, having shipped several heavy seas, and
being nearly worn out with fatigue, consequently they
were obliged reluctantly to return (without accomplish-
ing their object, which they were so desirous to fulfil)
anti leave the unfortunate crew in that awful situation,
where, we are fearful, long before this they are consigned
to the merciless deep ; but we sincerely hope our fears will
not be realized.

The writer of this, having been for many years an eye-
witness of the praiseworthy exertions of these boatmen,
cannot help observing how useful they are in endeavouring
to save the lives of their fellow-creatures, at the imminent
hazard of their own • and it is much to be lamented that
the merchants and ship-owners are not better acquainted
with the value of their services, which would then be more
appreciated in similar catastrophes.
The only particulars we can at present ascertain of the
ship is, that she has a figure-head and a poop, and appears
about SOO tons.

Should any further particulars transpire before the de-
parture of the mail, me shill not fail to furnish you with
them.

RALF-PAST SIX O'CLOCK.
No further particulars have transpired respecting the
unfortunate ship, which has totally disappeared.

The following accounts of the heavy gale of Thursday
were yesterday received at Lloyd's:—
DrAL, Nov. 3.
A ship, of about 400 tons, drove out of the Downs at
eleven a.m., with a signal of distress, and proceeded to-
wards Margate Roads. _ _

Flys P.M.
The gale has moderated, but, in squalls, it still blows
hard ; wind about W.S.W. Several of the outward-bound
are riding with two anchors a-head. Arrived and remain
the Albion, Radcliff, and the Arab, —, from Smyrna;
Ceres, Down, from Quebec; and Hope, of Bristol, from
Naples. Put back the L!an Rumney, Turner, and Ex-
press, —, for Jamaica.

HARWICH, NOV. 3.
It blew a storm of wind the whole of last night and this
day from the westward. A brig, supposed to be a collier
was seen in the early part of the day on shore on di;
West Rocks, with a signnl of distress. The life-bna
went off about noon, and his just returned. The crew
had left the vessel, and she will become a total wreck this
flood.

NORTH VARISOUTH, Nov. 3.
It has been blowing a heavy gale from W. and W.N.W .
all night, and this morning a large brig was seen on the
outside of Corton Sand. Boats from Lowestoffe and Gorl-
stone went off' to her, and about one o'clock she came off
the Sand, and is drifting out to sea. She is said to hare
lost her rudder, and to be deal laden.
THREE o'Czocz, P.M.
It still blows hard from W.S.W.
Lowrarorrz, Nov. 3.
This morning, about four o'clock, the Frances Ann, of
London, George Shipley, master, from Dantzic to London,
got ashore on Cotton Sand, in a heavy gale, and the crew,
finding no likelihood of her continuance, were compelled
to quit the vessel, with a narrow escape of their lives.
She has floated since; but there is little probability of
much being got from her. Wind W.S.W. blowing very
hard.

The Harriet, Fletcher, from Singapore, lost both her
anchors and cables in the Downs yesterday, and was blown
out. She is now getting supplied with others from Woad-
stairs.

DREADFUL AND DISTRK4SII4O OCCURRENCE-
FORTY PERSONS DROWNED.

( From the cork Advertiser.
A most dreadful and distressing event, of frightful mag-
nitude, which has spread terror and dismay among a vast
portion of the population of an extensive district, occurred
early in the forenoon of Saturday last, in the west of this
county. On that morning, a boat. having on board be-
tween forty and fifty persons, and passing from Cape Clear
Island to Skibbereen, whither her passengers were going
for the purpose of marketing. and, agreeably to the late
Act, to receive English in exchang. for their Irish silver,
was unhappily upset by striking on a rock near the Island
of Sherkin, when all on beard perished, save two, an aged
man and a boy, who, by clinging to her mast, providentially
escaped the fate of their less fortunate fellow passengers.
These are the details which have reached us as yet ; they
have been furnished to us by a gentleman who has recently
come from the west : hut at the period of his departure
ro particulars were ascertained even as to the extent of
the direful calamity, or who the parties were. We hope
in our next, to be able to relieve the public anxiety do such'
a loss of human life.

We arc happy to fbul, by a letter which we have seen
from Javra'.ca, dated the 15th of September last, that the
new Bichnp of that island has entered on the ditties of his
sacred office with great teal. On a single day he baptised
betwixt 80 and 90 negroes on one gentleroan's *saw.—

ege, he changed AO completely, from the sober habit* he had lime
lin before, as to plunge into mini possible excess of vice and indeh
' cenehr. At that advanced age he was, if not infirm in some respects,
certainly infirm in mind, and quite incompetent to manage bin af-•
faint. He became intimate with a woman of the name of Phippo,
a most unworthy diuractcr, who kept one of the lowest bre:theft
in some filthy place in Gray's.inn-lane. where, for a lengh of amt.
he almost constantly was. At that hovel he got acquainted wide
another woman, of like character, called Brown, who persuaded him
to take a lodging for himself and her, whirs they lived together Soh.
some time. Another similar character of the name of Hannah Pt- •
tent was introduced to him by Brown, who gained influence enough t 4
over him to induce hint to go and lire with her as man and trifej•
and with whom he actually did cohabit till he died. During the
time Peters lived with hint, she beenme 11. e mother of three r
children, having borne the first child within two cm three month, , ;
after she went to live with him ; all of whom. however, she pre-, railed upon him to believe were his, though a person of the name
of Parker had admitted that the first child was his, and though there wee strong reason to suppose that the other two were his alas, ,
as from the evidence there was every reason to believe that Parket i
continued to cohabit rich her during all the time she Bred with t
the testator. While the old gentleman was in the habit of going .

to Phippo's, it was sworn that on one occasion she and Brown tied
i
him into a chair, brandished a large knife before bim, app pro.
tested that they would murder him. unless he either gore them a i
large sum of money, nr a promissory note; accordingly, for the
purpose of escaping with his life., he signed a note to the amount t •
of' 2,080/. and then got away with the utmost difficulty. Thu •
subsequently formed the ground of an indictment against those women at the Old Bailey. Brown was admitted, on the part of
the prosecution, to give evidence, and Phippo suffered a long im-
prisonment, having been convicted of the crime. Phippo was
afterweda tried and executed for murder. During the cohabitation
with Peters, particularly at one house where they loped, .. g such in
decencies were committed, hy numbers of the most dOraved pros-
titutes having been brought into the house together, conducting
themselves with the utmost iedecency and even appearing In a • •
state of nudity, &c. that the landlord, upon ascertaining it, ordered . the testator to quit, which (after refusing) he was compelled to dot
by the aid of the parish officer.. Peters had the greatest influence
over his mind, and being one of the moat artful of women, she
employed, or caused to be employed, an attorney, alleged le
be of no respectability, in Shire.lane, near Temple-her, to
make a wilt for the testator, in the year 1814, by which the i
testator gave almost the whole of his fortune to the defend-
;. ,
ant Peters and her three children. It eccerred abcrot that time 2 •t
that the will might be disputed, either on the ground of in.
sanhy, or on some other grounds, and with a view to avoid
that event, as much it, rossible, a deed was subsequently prepared
and executed, transferring the bulk of the property to ti.e
sane individoulo but not until after the death of the testator. I
Small portions only were bequeathed to Mrs. Woolley's children,
whom the testator had deserted without any rational cause. The
testator died in the year 1816. leaving his property thus dispooet! I

of his children, by Mrs. Woolley, was., that he used to buy Sit-

A cause has been instituted in the Ecclesiastical Court to set aside i
that will, and one in this Court, by the legatees (Peters and her
children), to have the provisions of the will carried into execution.
both of which are now depending. An order was made some time
ago by this Court. directing the children to have their shares trans- i
leered to them as they attained their ages of twenty.ore years, but
the money was there to rest, until the further order of the Count : i. two of them have attained their majority, but the third has not. .... „

The Learned Counsel then stated, that it was impossible to have
made this application earlier, because the next of kin (foreign/es)
had not before become acquainted with the facts, which have now
enabled them to bring this very extraordinary case before biz
Lordship. •
The affidavits were then read by Mr. SIDEBOTTOII, as Mr. •
Horne's junior, which supported, and went further than all that
had been stated at the bar :, and the prayer of the bill was, that •'0
the money might be restrained from being in any way removed or St
altered from the state in which it now stands.

The Loan CHANCELLOR read the affidavits, and then granted •
the injunction upon the terms that notice of the injunction shnuld
be served with the whin:ens, and an intimation that the Court
would hear the defendants the moment they pleased to apply.
atMS r. RIDGE.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that this was an appeal from
an order made by the Muter of the Rolls. The plaintiff was the
administrator of the effects of a gentleman of the name of Sims.
who at the time of his death was indebted to various persons to a
large amount. Part of the estate of that gentleman consisted of
securities for money, but among which was a bond executed by
the Marquis and Marchioness* of Hastings,
jointly with the de-.
fendant Mr. Ridge. A bill was filed against Mr. Ridge, as one of
the obligors (his co-obligor!. Lord and Lady Ilanings, /Ting • •
abroad) praying that it should be referred to the Master to
ascertain what was due to the intestate's estate on the bond.
and that the sum reported to be due should be tea:lnferred
to arid for the benefit of the creditors ; but the Mastet et
the Rolls was of opinion that the prayer of the bill could not be •
granted, inasmuch as that it had not been proved that the bood
was executed by the Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings, mu
. •
that there was no means of obtaining their answers to the bill, as
they were not within the jurisdiction of the Court; he, therefore
decreed that the bill should be dismissed. An appeal was intended
to have been made against this order; but the Marquis and hie
Lady having subsequently returned to this country, and having put
in an answer in which they admitted there was such a bond as that
set forth in the bill, he now, instead of proceeding with the
appeal, had to move his Lordship that hewould be pleased to order
What ought to be done under this change of circumstances.
Mr. Heston, tor the defendant, said he had an objection to
make in point of form, as to the notice of motion, which had been
served on him by the other side. The words of the notice were,
after stating the return of the Noble Marquis and his lady, that
the plaintiff would move •' tar his Lordship's directions what ought
to be done under this change of circumstances." Them words
were so indefinite in their meaning that he could not tell what it
was he had to answer; he came quite unprepared to meet any spe-
cific motion ; such an application was the most extraordinary ht
bad ever heard of-
The LORD Cnaneetton rememlocreil enough of the ease to
know that it was a little hard upon the plaintiff to kW. his bill
dismissed, if he had any thing like a case, upon the ground that
this bond had net been proved to be that of the Magill. of Has-
tings. He though it was quite clear that the Noble Marquis would,
not deny that this was his bond.
The SoLletco a-GENERAL, in reply to his Learned Friend's)
observation as to the extraordinary nature of the present motion.
begged to state, that having himself requested the favour of his
Lordship that he would read over alt the papers in the 'quit, and in 1
the moan time the Marquis and Mtschioness of Hastings coming
home to this country, his Lordship had had the goodness to in..
dorse upon the brief, then before him, an observation under which. •
he (the Solicitor-General) would seek shelter from the attack of has
Learned Friend, and hoped to find a sanction for the step he had
taken. The memorandum which his Lortithip had written was.--
" That as the Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings had returned •
to England, after the decree of the Master of the Rolls. notice '
should he given to the opposite party that, at the next Seal, the
matter would be mentioned :o the Court, for directions as to what
ought to be done under this change of circumstances." So that it
would be wen the motion he now made was in the very words of an .
order of thls Court, as the memorandum made by his Lordship
usig_ht with propriety be called.
Mr. Snanw nth followed on the same side.
The LORD CUA)ICF.LLOR observed, that when he wrote the
memorandum under which the Solicitor-Geneva talked of shelter-
ing himself, he. of course, expected that the two Learned Gentbs-
tnen (the Solicitor-General and Mr. Shadwell) would pot their pro. ..
1 fessional heads towhee, and wisest to kiln what directions ought
to be made under the change of eircomstinces.; MI it certatakr

LIABILITY OF STAGE-MASTERS.
*TORNADO V. aAWNDrwsON AND ()TIMIS.
This wai an action to recover damages for the injury sustained
the plaintiff in consequence of betpg thrown from one of the
.righton stages, the property of one of the defendants.
Mr. (lORNEr and Mr. Bove coodnnted the plaintiffs case.
The plaintiff, Jane Stobbard, in the month of September last,
yearqr, u in the service of furs. Peyton, in the capacity of lady's.
maid. On the pith of that month the family left London for
Brighuar ; Mn. Peyton and part of her estsbllahtnent travelling
down in her private carriage, the rest, among whom was the plain-
tiff, took places on the outside of a Brighton coach, whiehlelongs
to the defendants. On their arrival at Cocktield, at which place
the last change of horses it Medea one of the horses (the off leader)
put into the coach Wile very highspirited and unmanageable. This
horse was in the habit of ." abyino the hedge," and thus gave the
coach an irregular ris-asor modes. At Pagham, a village a few
miles on this side of Brighton, they came up with a chariot, at
whirl: this horse took fright, made& sudden plunge, in consequence
of which the coach was overthrown t the fore pert of it separated
from the hinder, ail the outsides were of course thrown off, and the
paiotiff, in particular, very much injured. Her arm was dialo.
rated and tortured, and she had since lost the me of it entirely.
Sersh Hacker.--I was in :Mrs. Peyton's service last September.
I know the plaintiff; she was upper house maid and lady's.mald.
On the llith we went to ltrighton ; we were taken up by a coach in
Oxford-street. The right-luand leader of the new change of horses
at CuekSeld was very troublesome ; we came up with a chariot at
Pagtats; the off leader made a start, and the coach was overthrown.
Jane Stobhard was very much hurt ; she was supported by two
gentlemen after tho accident ; the looked very pale; her arm was
much bruised and swelled about the elbow ; I was also much
hart ;we were taken-Ina gig to Brighton. I saw her last Sunday ;
I have not seen her before since last February ; she is quite inca-
pable of dressing or taking care of herself.
CrOks-examined by Mr. SCARLETT—We left London about
eight o'clock ; the accident hanpened about three ; we were dot in
any alarm betore it occurred ; we sat in the front behind the coach-
man.

Francis Beaumont—l was a passenger by this coach. I was
outside and sitting in the trent of the coach in the same row with
thil plaintiff. At Cucktield, the last stage, we changed horses.
The off-leader was troublesome ; there wits great difficulty in her.
noising hitt ; he seemed to draw toward the other horse ; I asked
the coachman the reason, and he said " the horse did not like the
hedge." There was some irregularity in the motion of the coach,
in consequence of the horse pulling to one aide. Bcfore we got to
the chariot, we came up against a bank, and the coach was over.
turned ; the coachman appeared to be off his guard for a moment ;
the fore part of the coach was separated from the hinder. I was
very much bruised myself, and for this reason did not observe the
coadition of the plaintiff.
Crees.catainined by Mr. SCARLETT—I returned to London b
the same coach. I did not hear the postilion of the chariot 'crack
his whip ; if he bad they were in advance of us forty or Gity paces,
sail we could not have heard him.

Mr. Brownhill-4 wee a passengea by this coash. I sat behind,
on what it called the dickey t oh_ -caw did not appear to go in a
straight lint, and I mendoa•d this circumstance to the passengers.
did not say any thlr.g of it to the coachman.
Crows-examined by Mr. SCARLETT-1 do not know what the
outside fare la. Ido not know that it is 7s. _

Mr. Pitts. 4 am a surgeon. I was sent for on the evening of
the 18th Sept. to see this young woman ; there was an injury to the
left arm there wu a dislocation ; it was very much swelled ; it
was ncee.sary tb reduce the swelling before any thing else could be
done. I could do nothing else for some days. 1 called in two
other medical practitioners, Mr. Badrock and Mr. Payne, to assist
me. I whistled her till the WA Ngvenlim ; when she left my care

Lawrence ever attended her ; the plaintiff never told me that he
bad. I neva heard that he had been sent to attend her by the
peoprietors.
sir William Bliesed examined by Mr. GURNEY—I saw this
young woman, and examired her arm about two months after the
accident ; it is stiff and immovable ; I hava seen her within a fow
Oars. I do.r.st think that she will ever recover the use of her arm.
. (Gross-examined by MR SCARLETT—Mr. Lawrence waa a pupil
of mine. I consider him to be a very competent man: • I have
reason to believe that all the remedies made use of by Mr. Pins
were very proper ' • this stiffness in the arm is not very uncommon ;
Its causes are generally inflammation ; I should think it proceeded
from the inflammation in this Instance.
