tham to have lived in such a sea, and evon if a
been a life-boat, it is not likely that she could have reached
-the vessel before she had quite sunk and the men all
drowned ; unfortunately, however, we had not a life-boat
to try the experiment. The vessel, after having been five
bolus under water, began to appear about half-ebb, and
several boats from Lytham- and Southport went down to
her, and succeeded in bringing atv.y some of her rigging,
&c. Three of the bodies of the crew wer.- found upon the
sand-bar: k, by the Lytham boats, about half a mile from
the vessel, and were brought up here ; one of them is a
remarkable ti:te looking young man, and is supposed to be
the captain's son. A fourth man was found by the South-
port boats, and conveyed to that place. The inhabitants of
Lytham are paying every respect to the bodies brought
here, and they will be decently interred to day. The yes-
z,rel is not yet gone to pieces, and should the weather be
moderate, she may, prof ,ably, be raised. The schooner,
(which has been recognised by some of the seamen belong-
ing to this port) it seems, hits been regularly employed in
carrying stone for the Corporaion works at Liverpool."

pilots at Knot End and others, to get out as much as pos-
sible of the cargo before it became dark, as, from the ap-
pearance of the weather, there was every probability that
the ship would go to pieces in the night.: They succeeded
in landing two horses and a great quantity of small pack-
ages, which were in the cabin, part of the ship's stores. As
was anticipated, the ship parted about twelve o'clock on
Thursday night, and is now, with the cargo, strewed along
the coast from Blackpool to the entrance. of thew Wyre

DUBLIN ELECTIO-N COMMITTEE.
(`PHIS DAY.)

The Committee me., this morning at eleven o'clock, when
Mr. WRANGTIAM, c!1-1 the part of the'petitioners, made an un-
successful attempt . . ... ti,a
the>c,a7ttliffeematfe yesterday, in which it was settled that
the poll books might be referred to for the purpose of ascer-
taining for whont the party voted. At the conclusion of the
learned Gentlemen's argument, a desultory conversation took
place between /Counsel on either side and the Committee,

The CHAIR7:IAN intimated that the Committee were about
to retire. fie was not the nominee of either of the par-
ties, but bef)re the Committee retired, he wished to know,
whether tho' Learned Gentleman (Mr. Wrangham) intended
to preclude the clerk from looking into the poll books when
it was dc!cided by the Committee that the name of a voter
should be' removed?
Counel for the petitioner made no reply.
The Committee then retired, and after a few minutes' de•
liberation, the Clerk read the decision of the Committee, con-
firmatory of the resolution adopted yesterday.
Fourteen voters were then struck off the poll of the peti-
timer, by consent of their agent, which gave Mr. O'Connell a
majority of 12 over Mr. West, and 8 over Mr. Hamilton.
The vote of Charles Dunns was then objected to by Mr.
litessiger, on the ground of insolvency, and was under dis-
. ussion when pur reporter left.

SUOCKI NG CAsE.—The Manchester Chronicle
contains the proce^dings of a coroner's inquest, not yet con-
cluded. on a case of a poor infant, for whom the father is, re-
presented to have expiessed the fiercest hatred before its birth.
The mother, in consequence, appears to have stated thus :
she never dared to nurse the child in her husband's presence,
but he being absent she went to it as it lay on the bed', and
feeling it very cold, wrapped it up in a blanket, and laid it on
the hearth to warm it. She wn.s putting the hot water into the
;tea-pot, but instead of doing so, she nouretl it 00 the child's
face. This statement has been called in question. The
wife had, however, called in a female neighbour to see how
her husband had hurt the child by knocking its little head
against the wall. She further stated that he bad bent its little
bac!: double. It was also ill supplied with fond, and so hun-
gry that on one occasion it devoured eagerly a whole basin of
porridge. A post inortent examination of the body was made,
and the medical opinion. expressed was that the child was never
healthy one, and bad died of: natural disease, hastened lei'
the Jumlication of boiling water: The inquest was adjourned
to allb-d time fnr the prodaction of further evidence. SNain
(the fatLer) and his wife remain in custody.
On Fr:'lay last, about eight o'clock, as Mr.
Joseph Walker Canter, of Whiteheath, near Malmesbury, was
returning-, on horseback, from Chippcnham market, on ascend-
ing- the hill (a lonely part of the road), three miles from the
latter place, he was stepped by three ruffians, who dragged
hirn off his base. One of the gang then pinioned his arms;
another held a thick bludgeon across his face ; whilst a third
took from his person a gold watch, value forty guineas ; a red
riband purse, containing thirteen shillings, and a, small box.
In the . stru gle the bosom of Mr. Canter's shirt was torn to
g,
pieces. It is net a little remarkable that, about thirty years
ego, Mr. Canter's fati.'r Was stopped at the same place.
