THE Are. MR. MATTNIAL—The death of this
gentleman took place last week, at his res'Osence
Mary-le-bone. He was of the Homan Catholic per-
suasion, meek, benevolent, end most liberally tole-
rant to all whose religion differed from his owu.—
He had been elected Canon of St. Denis. and had
been frequently solicited to accept a French Bishop-
ric, which he declined from motives of humiliiy and
love to this country. A month previous to his la-
mented death, we are assured that he received a
letter informing him that his name was drawn for
the first vacant See in France. He was respected
and beloved by all the Bourbon family, and by a
numerous circle of friends of the highest rank in
this country. To the pour he was a Willful past .r,
a protecting father, a liberal benefactor. lit the
circle of his own he solemnly and affectionately ful-
filled those sacred duties enjoined by God himself,
administering to their necessities while living, and
bequea►hing to them at his death the bulk of his
property. Thus, his death-bed, as might be ex-
pected from his conduct and character, exhibited a
scene of genuine piety and peace, edifying to
around him. It will be remembered that this gen.
tleman was attacked with a sword b, an ins❑ne
person in the Spanish Chapel, while officiating at
the altar, a few years ago Ilis manners were
meek, elegant, anti unaffected.

Somwrtimica.—On the evening of the 28th Ike.
during a most violent gale from the south-east. .1
brig was observed on shore on the rocks, within immix
or five hundred yards of Sandy Cove, near Bullock,
Dublin; the sea running mountains high, with a.l
the horrors that accompany a dark tempestuoirt
night. Lieutenant William Hutchinson, the har-
bour-muster of Dunleary, volunteered, with lim
gallant fishermen and pilots, and embarked in time
life-boat, in hopes of saving the suffering crew fraai
apparently certain destruction, who were expeeti:ig
every moment that the vessel woidd go to pieces.—
They succeeded after the greatest esertion, in reach-
ing the wreck, and when under the stern of the
vesset, in the broken water, the life-boat filled, and
every succeeding sea passed over her,the crew of the
vessel were endeavouring to get into the boat, an
overwhelming sea washed six men and Lieutenant
Hutchinson out of the life:-boat; the remaining
eight clung to the boat ; two of the six men caught
hold of a rope at tile stern of the wreck, atil
were hauled on board by the crew. Lieutenant
Hutchinson, utter contending with the waves ti'r
smite time, was most providentially saved by cate..-
ing hold of the life-boat, which was driven with
much risk on the rocks, and the remainder of le:r
crew got on shore with many bruises; the other E,lir
brave fellows untintunately perished ; two of theist
left wives and young children to deeply lament tlicir
loss. Notwithstanding the danger and fatigue
Lieutenant Mitchinson went thr,ugh, he remained
all night on the racks, to render, with lights, every
assistance to the crew of the vessel, and tintunatmay
succeeded in getting them from time wreck at Inav
water, at four o'clock in the morning. The br%.;
was culled the Ellen, of Liverpool, laden with a
general cargo, William Bird, master. Another brig
belonging to Mr Pim, would have been lost in
same place, but for the exertions of Lieutenant El.
by showing lights and tiring shots, to wain them of
their danger, upon whieli they got out anchors.
