LOSS OF THE TOWN OF WEXFORD
STEAMER.

Intelligence was received yesterday at Lloyd's of the
loss of the Town of Wexford steam-ship, off the Sker-
ries, near Holyhead, during the violent north-westerly
gale on Sunday morning. It appears that she left Wex-
ford for Liverpool in the course of Saturday, with several
passengers and a general live and dead cargo. During
the night she laboured severely in consequence of the
tempestuous state of the weather, and on the following
morning She was observed off the Skerries, under can-
vass, her machinery apparently having broken down, or

but little intermission, and about two o'clock in the af-

ashore near Trefadog, some three or four miles to the
eastward of the bay. Her perilous position having been
before noticed, the life-boats put ofl to the rescue of the
passengers and crew, and, with the aid of their own
boats, every one of them were preserved. Little

dead cattle and

continuing violent, there is
little doubt of her proving a total loss.

DEATH OP BARON KEMENY.—It 15 with regret
we have to announce that Baron Kemeney, 63 years of age,
who was appointed ,by Kossuth, as chief to the Hungarian
Committee in this country, died suddenly yesterday morn-
ing, at eleven o'clock, at his residence in Foley-place, while
the secretary to the Hungarian Committee, S. Wekey, was
clay, concerning the Hungarian refugees. :The lamented
reading to him the letter of Mr. Toulmin Smith, of yester-
baron displayed great courage in the late Hungarian struggle,
and distinguished himself by the decisive battle of Pisky,
under General 13em, being also chief commander of a corps
in Transylvania.

THE GALE ON SATITEDAY.-011 Saturday even-
ing, about seven o'clock, a strong gale set in from the N.N.W.,
and continued to blow violently throughout the night. On
Sunday morning the wind had abated, but a stiff breeze con-
tinued throughout the day. Some disasters have occurred
amongst the shipping. The barque Helen, from Demerara,
ran on shore on the Brazil Bank; and the steamer Town of
Wexford, from Wexford, stranded three miles to the east-
ward of the Skerries. Fortunately, no lives were 105 t...

HILARY TERM.—Yesterday the lists of the arrears
of the common law courts for the ensuing Hilary Term, com-
mencing on Monday next, were exhibited. The three courts
number only (with the exception of Crown cases) 118, which
principally consist of matters arising from new trials moved
in Michaelmas Term on cases heard on circuit. Henceforth,
rules obtained in one term will be heard in the following
term, and not, as was formerly the case in the Court of
Queen's Bench, where matters stood over from IS months to
two years. In the Queen's Bench there are two special cases
and demurrers, one for arrangement and 13 for argument-
There are seven enlarged rules, two rules in the new trial,
and 27 for argument, making the whole number 52. in the
Common Pleas the number is only 21, of which four are de-
murrers, two enlarged rules, 13 for new trial, and one matter
standing for judgment. In the Peremptory paper, 1;9
