electors, by a parade of the claims which it had
beers assumed the gallant Captain had upon the
electors for their support, when that Geutlemee's
speech had been attended by the expression of
di.pleasurr and contempt it merited. Some of the
enemies of the freedom of election had stated in
.m 1 infamous placard, that au attempt had been
made to assassinate Sir Manley Maxwell, by
an individual, whom it affected to describe. But
the fact was, that its their voyage to the East Indies,
they had forgotten this was a crime troknown iu

South of Europe. It was impossible that an at-

CITY UP COalf STEAM PACKEr.

Tarawa:. alms 19.

A most distressing report that this steam-boat
was wrecked off Kiusate, and the passengers to the
number of 200 lost, with the exception of 11. was
spread on Tuesday morning. It threw Cork into
much alarm, but on investigation proved to be
false, as the steam.boat arrived without accident in
Kinsale. The origin of the rumour was traced to a
soldier of the 49th. who usrerted that he had seen
the boat go down. It appears dint he intended it
for a joke ; hot such conduct is most reprehensible,
sari will. no akuht, meet with some punishment.
The report reached this city ou Tuesday evening.
and caused the greatest anxiety. until the arrival of
Lieut. O'Brien, R.N. by 11'etlitesday's coach.
Were it necessary to !trove, that no possible
cause ever existed fur this false report, the
