The conduEt of Captain RAYNSFORD is spoken of
in the highest terms. When the Ship struck, he
declared he would be the last to quit her. It was
owing to his presence of mind, and the authority he
employed, that so many lives were saved.

necessary ere6tions, to be raised on Haul-bowling
Island, in the Cove of Cork, to enable His Majesty's

The following Paragraph is copied froM an Edin-
burgh Paper we received yesterday morning. The
Dublin Pope,r of the 13th mentions nothing upon
the subject :
Dublin, Dec. 9.7-it is confidently rumoured
•for some days, that five persons, consisting of
" three Italians 'and two Frenchmen, have been
" lately brought as Prisoners into this city; charged
with treasonable pra6tices. And on Saturday
" last we understand that five others, three of
whom, we are sorry to say, appear to be of the
" better order, have arrived under a similar charge."
On Saturday morning as Lord Hoon was leaving
Bath, for London, the horse belonging to one of his
servants took fright, ran away with
_him, and leaped
over the iron railings at the end of Brook-street, by
which the servant was thrown into the area of Col.
BliowilLowE's house, and his leg was broken. The
horse became entangled in the second row of iron
rails ; from this perilous situation he was extricated
without much injury.
