Important despatches have been received at the
reign-office, from Vienna: after a Cabinet Council
was immediately assembled, which sat in delibera-
tion two hours. It is supposed that the despatches
contained intelligence of importance, as a foreign
messenger was sent off to the Continent after the
council broke up. The next information front Lord
Strangford. the British ambassador at Constantino-
ple, will probably bring something decisive respect-
ing the negociations between Russia and the l'orte.
In the western part of the county of Monmouth,
the refractory workmen have been increased in num-
ber by some thousands from the Rock, Tredegar,
Sirhotvcy, and Pont-y-pool works. The Scotch
Greys have remained at Abergavenny, and the
knowledge that the county cavalry are on the alert,
and that application has been made for sense infan-
try, deters from actual violence; but this state of
things, it is feared, cannot last. In the day-time,
the men spread themselves through the county, and
solicit charity, with which they support their fami-
lies; in the evening they blacken their faces, as.sem •
Me on the hills, and use the mast horrible threats to
deter those who think half a loaf better than no
bread, front working under the regular prices.
NEW CHURCH, CANIBERWELL --Tuestay was
appointed for the ceremony of laying the first stone
of the new church, to be erected at Camberwell,
which was laid by the Lord Bishop of Winchester.
The members composing the procession assembled
at the Grove-house, at half-pact ten, and after there
receiving his Lordship, proceeded to the ground.—
The arrival of the Bishop on the ground was an•
flounced by a discharge of cannon, and the St.
icorge's ensign was hoisted at the north-east angle.
When the Bishop, Clergy, and Committee ascended
the plattimn, the children sang the 100th Psalm,
accompanied by the band. A suitable prayer and
address were then. offered, and after the stone was
laid the band played the national anthem of " God
save the King," and the precession returned to the
Greve-house in their original order.
Mr. Sergeant Hullock is shortly to become Soli-
citor-General in the room of Sir J. Copley, who will
be made Attorney General; and Sir It. Gifthrd will
be elevated to the Bench, in the place of Baron
Wood, who retires. A silk gown has been offered
to Mr. Brougham, on the ground of his having been
Attorney-General to her late Majesty, but that he
has declined accepting it unless a similar compliment
is paid to Mr. Denman.
FRANIKFORT, Arnie 15.—We have this moment
received the news that the Porte has placed under
embargo all Turkish vessels in the Channel, and in
the ports of the Black Sea. The object of this mea-
sure is to secure a sufficient number of sailors to man
the Ottoman fleet destined for the Black Sea.

Extract of a letter received at Lloyd's from Kin-
sale, dated April 22.—" It becomes our duty to
c nvey to you the melancholy intelligence of the
total loss of the ship Albion off the Old Head.—
This morning, having carried away her masts, she
was driven on a ridge of rocks, and went to pieces.
liv great exertions some of the crew and one pas-
senger were taken off a part of her deck that was
driven under a high cliff We lament to say, that
21 passengers, among whom were seven ladies, to-
gether with Captain Williams, and the rest of the
crew, perished ; a few trunks belonging to some of
toe passengers were saved. The writer, who has
just returned from the spot, has made arrangements
to have the bodies buried."

IRELAND.

It is melancholy to read of the state of the Irish
peasantry in the papers recceived yesterday, from
which we make the following afflicting extract
:
STATE or THE Pooa.—The provincial papers
of the South and West are loaded with the most
melancholy details, not only of the distress and star-
vation of the poor in several counties of Munster
and Connaught, but also of the state of destitution
to which the landlords are reduced.
It is stated from unquestionable authority, that
seven persons died last week in the neighbourhood
of Killydesart, from actual want. The streets of
Ennis arc lined with, labourers and tradespeople,
who stand leaning against the housea, their arms
folded, and despair in thzir countenances. In con-
versing with some of them, they tell me they have
from one to six acres of land, with a cabin, but their
potatoes having failed they have neither present food
nor-seed fur the next season; they have left their
land waste, and have, with their families, become
wanderers through the country.
In truth it can no longer be concealed—even if
there was any good reason for doing so—that, what
with the failure of the-last potatoc crop, the total
want of employment throughout the country, and
the low prices of e-ery description of agricultural
produce, not only 'axone class threatened with an ab-
solute want of thud, but the other has before it the
the prospect of an entire abstraction of rents, and the
consequent inability on their part either to relieve
the suffering of the poor, or to contribute to the'
payment' of the revenue.
The trial of Robert Cussen, for breaking into tho
house of John Shelton, Esq. of Rossmore, in this
county,- at the head of a band of insurgents (of
which he was leader), has excited considerable
attention. He was found guilty, chiefly on the
evidence of two young ladies, the daughters of Mr.
John Shelton, who, however, gave thwridetice
with every anxiety to be merciful, and through
whose intercession his case is likely to be mercifully
considered.—The prisoner was above the -condition
of a pk.aisant.—Lionerick Chronicle.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN BUDGE-ROW.-011 Thurs-
day morning at five o'clock two houses tit Bodae-row,
Cannon-street; the lower part of which, occup.ed by
Mr. Pairjk a carpenter. as a shop, and the upper part
let, fell with a dreadful crash, and buried all the mutates
who were in bed in the ruins. Mr. Parry who was no,
and ssanding.at the shop window dressing himself, was
the only person who escaped, and he was thrown out at
the window. Mr. Bowles, a merchant, and his wife,'
occupied the first fluor; Mr. Nichols the second, and
two maiden ladies, sisters, of the names of Osbauleston
die third. An alarm was immediately raised, and the
neighbourhood were roused. The constables• of the
night and die watchmen procured assistance; several
labourers and carpenters were employed in propping tip
the adjoining houses, and putlogs were placed across the
►•raet to the opposite house ; the street was barricadoed
at each end, and the labourers began to clear away the
ruins. 'the two Miss Osbaldestons were dug out about
*ix o'clock, dreadfully muula ed and nearly suffocated,
and carried to St. Tillllll4S'S hospital, with little hope of
recovery; Mr. Nichols escaped with little injury. • Mr.
and Mrs. Bowles were dug out about iatlf-past six; they
were Mond iii bed nearly suffocated from the rubbish,
but screened by a large beam and part of the flooring.—
A U11)40311 was on the spot) who had mein carried to the
Crowil.taverii, Bow-lace, where they were put to bed,
and their wounds dressed; on inquiry we find that there
are but faint hopes of their recovery. A young woman
who was on a visit to Mr. Bowles, and a child of his.
still remained buried in the ruins at twelve o'clock, and
from the appearance of the ruins, there cannot remain a
doubt but they are dead.. The workmen cootinued their
labours during the evening, and the distress of the rela-
tives and friends of the sufferers was iiidevcribable.—
On Friday night, at seven o'clock, au illyli6llolll was
taken at the Three Cranes taveru, Watling-street, before

in the cellar, and Mi. Bowles, the brother of the womau.
and the boy's uncle, and Mu, Biwles, gave etidetice
respecting the state of the houses and the can.•e of the
accident.—The Coroner said, the surveyor of the district
should examine all houses in a dilapidated state.—The
Jury were satisfied it was the removal of the chimneys in
the party wall occasioned the accident, and a verdict- of
Accidental. Death, caused by the want of nue precaution
in the repairing of the pasty wall, was returned.—A
vote of thanks was then passed to the litadle of the
Ward, for his exertions iii removing the rubbish, extri-
cating the sufferers, mid afterwards attending to their
comforts.
