The ilampaAire Chrustels states, that last Friary
morning a ship railed the Grace, king at St. Helen's,
with a number of adventurers on board for South Ame-
rico, in the absence of the Master, who was on shore
with one of the passengers prohtring necessaries for
the voyage, wa taken possession of by the passengers
remaining on beard, who, availing themselves of a
favourable wind, turned the pilot out of the ship, and
proceeded to sea.
By a letter from Bolegne, dated on Monday last, it
appears that the weather has been most tempestuous
alongthe French coast, during the last week. On Sa-
turday week a sraugglini, vessel was lost within a
stone's throw of the Pier head; and we regret to state,
that the whole crew, consisting of nine Englishmen
and one Frenchman perished.
Mrs. Davison, in consequence of some misunder-
standing with the Sub-Committee of Drury-lane, is
no longer a member of that theatre.

McitDER AT PATatett's-wett..---Tuesday mornings

January 27, ut three o'clock, a party of men exceeding
20 well armed, knocked at the door of Mr. Christopher
Sperling, a respectable householder of the village of
Patrick's-well, in this county (Limerick), and demand-
ed a poor stranger, who had taken up his lodging there
in the capacity of a schoolmaster. The demand was
resolutely refused, on which the ruffians broke in the
windows, and entered the house ; they then committed
ever description of violence, broke the furniture, beat
Sperling, his man-servant, and the schoolmaster, in a
most cruel manner, and even the females did not escape
their brutality. A young man, named Samuel Cross,
who had been on a visit at Sperling's, in endeavourir g
to keep the door cf the room where he slept, was shin
through ;he head, of which he instantly died. Several
Magistrates; with Major General O'Lochlin, attended
at Patrick's-well, were depositions were received, which
we trust may .lead to the apprehension of the perpetra-
tors. . Cross was an inhabitant of this city, between 20
and 21 years of age ; his body was taken to his afflicted
parents in William-street, where they lately commenced
business. The wounds which Mr. Sperling has received
are of an alarming nature. He made a most determined
resistance, and finding that a yeomanry musket he had,
did not go off, he beat two of his assailants with the
stock of it, in such a manner that they were taken out
of his house by their comrades, and blood traced on the.
road they went fair a considerable distance. The night
of the above outrage, several notices of an illegal ten-
dency, were posted on farmers doors in the neighbour-
hood. of Petrick's-well.—(Limerick Chronicle.)
