" The London whaling ship Corsair, Captain Venablcs, is
totally lost off the King's Mill Group. She was out fourteen
months, during which she had succeeded in procuring 1,700
barrels of oil. This vessel was cruizing off Byron's Island,
one of the King's Mill, and struck on an unknown shoal in lat.
2. 8., and long. 78. E., when she almost immediately went
to pieces. The crew, thirty-one in number, took to the whale
boats and landed upon the mlin land in safety, where they were
attacked by the natives and butchered, with the exception of
sixteen, who regained the boats. These, after enduring much
privation and hardship for five weeks, reached Givain, a Spanish
settlemet t, from whence some of them have arrived at Sidney.
The Captain and Surgeon were amongst the number destroyed

On Tuesday morning last, James grey, of Orsctt,
in this county, paid a visit to the metropolis with 22 sove-
reigns and a W. note deposited in a bag in his small-clothes
pocket. Whilst meditating on the wonders -of Londor, he
was accosted near Tem' le Bar by two men who imitated
the country dialect, and at length prevailed upon him to
accompany them to the Cock and Magpie public-house in
Drury-lane. They then treated Gray to some liquor, and
began to talk to him about the thieves and schemers in
London, and how necessary it was for people to be on their
guard against such fellows. They then induced him to
exhibit his money, and, under the prqtence of placing it
carefully in his fob pocket for safety, they transferred a flash
note and some coppers, instead of the 271., and left the
house soon afterwards, when the robbery was discovered.—

THE AMERICAN IN ENGLAND.—The po2ular
author of "A. Year in Spain" has just put forth another
amusing book under the above title. The Quarterly Re-
view, in noticing the " Year in Spain, observed—" That it
abounded in those familiar scenes of life, and in those
groups and characters by the way-side, which place a
country and its people immediately before our eyes. We
think we can give the author no better advice than in any
future work he may undertake to let us have as much as
possible of his personal adventures, and of the scenes and
characters around him—assuring him that when he is most
egotistical he is most entertaining, and, in fact, most in-
structive. We anticipate further and still more copious
extracts from our gay and shrewd Lieutenant's log-book.
May he survive to record all his adventures in a book,
and we to have the pleasure of reviewing it." This author
has now produced a new work full of amusing anecdote. .He
has regarded us and our manners and customs in a spirit
of insatiable curiosity, and has detected qualities and cha-
racteristics among us of the existence of which we are our-
selves scarcely aware.
About three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon a water-
man's boy was rowing his father's wherry near the Tower-
stairs, close to a barge that was lying alongside, when he
missed his scull, and in attempting to reach it he fell over-
board, and immediately disappeared. An alarm was in-
stantly raised, the drags were procured, and about five or
ix minutes afterwards he was dragged from under the
barge's bottom, and conveyed to the Nelson's Arms public-
house, the landlord of which promptly rendered every pos-
sible assistance, by affording blankets, &c. Mr. Brown, a
respectable surgeon, instantly attended to the case. He
found the boy quite insensible and apparently lifeless, but
by means of friction and other remedies he succeeded in
restoring suspended animation, and within half an hour after
the boy fell into the water he was so far recovered that his
parents were enabled to take him home, and whea Mr. Brown
visited the lad yesterday afternoon he was going on well.
The Courrier du Bas Rhin records a horrible at-
tempt at crime, and the suicide of the criminal. A wedding
was being celebrated at the village of Duttleheim. The
uncle of the bridegroom, who partook not in the general
joy, was heard to exclaim, " You arc all very gay this
evening; perhaps the case will be altered." Previous to the
feast a plate, containing some of the provisions that had
been boiled in the water of the village well, was given to a
cat, and the animal shortly after eating them expired. The
alarm was instantly given.; the well was found to be poi-
soned ! Suspicion fell on the uncle of the -bridegroom.
He was arrested, and on comparing his shoes with recent
footsteps traced to the well, they fitted them to a nail. He
at first denied it all, but when in prison he confessed to a
priest, in the presence of witnesses, his horrible intention,
and declared he had no accomplice. Next morning he was
found dead in his cell, having made away with himself with
some of the poison which he had concealed in a snuff-box.
A Garde du Commerce, named Encelin, having, a
writ of arrest against a foreigner named Smith, and hearing
that an Englishman of that name resided at the Hotel
Bristol, Place Vendome, entered the apartment of Mr.
John Abel Smith, on Saturday morning, and, notwithstand-
inr, the protest of the latter, forced him to rise from his
bed. He was on the point of being conducteds to the
prison in the Rue de Clichy, when a commissary of police,
and
for whom the mistress of the house had sent,came
prevented the arrest. Mr. J. A. Smith, a merchant of
very great wealth in London, was not the person for whom
the writ was intended ; and he has applied to the proper

GERMAN AND BRUSSELS PAPERS.

VIENNA, DEC. 16.—1 t is affirmed in circles which are
usually well informed, that the English Captains, Rous and
Drinkwater, who accompanied Lord Durham to Odessa, and
afterwards, by order of the English Ministry, made, as it is
said, an accurate survey of the mouths of the Danube and the
Delta of that river, have given to Mr. Fox, the English
Minister, on their arrival at Vienna, a very interesting report
on the state of affairs in and about Gallacz, the consequences
of the advancing of the Russian Quarantine Establishment with
respect to the free navigation of the Danube, &c. It should
seem, therefore, that the English Ministry has fixed its atten-
tion on the Black Sea, and is endeavoering to regain influence
there.

ST. PETERSBURG, JAN. 12.—0 n Sunday (the day before
yesterday) his Majesty the Emperor gave an audience to the
Ambassador Extraordinary of the King of the French, who
delivered to him the credentials of his Sovereign. After the
audience the Ambassador had the honour to be presented to
the Empress, the Imperial Prince Alexander, and to the
Grand Duchess Maria. The Rev. Paul Kranitzky, Confessor
to the Emperor Alexander and the Empress Elizabeth, died
lately, in the 84th year of his age. As the funeral procession
reached Isaac's Church, his Majesty the Emperor, whose
instructor in religion the deceased had been, joined it, to
pay him the last honour by a prayer.

Yesterday the Court of Assize had to try the action brought
against the Editor of the journal Mephistophiles, for calumny,
for M. Marie de Vallienne. The substance of the alleged
calumny was that the plaintiff, a Frenchman, when Mayor of
St. Cloud, in 1825, had received from the prefect of the de-
partment a sum of 5,000 francs for the relief of the poor, of
which he had appropriated above 2,000 francs for his oin;
use. This statement was accompanied with severe reflections;
From the report of the trial, which is very voluminous, it ap-
pears that the counsel for the defendant proved the truth of
the allegations to the satisfaction of the jury, who returned a
verdict acquitting the Editor, which was received by the per-
sons present with loud and unanimous aeclamations.

Dr. Bowring, Commercial Agent for England, and Mr.
Bulwer, Secretary to the English Legation at Brussels, were
at Antwerp the day before yesterday. It was said that their
visit to our city was connected with a project said to be enter-
tained by the Belgian Government, of imposing a higher im-
port duty on English earthenware. We do not know whether
our Government really has in contemplation any such project,
but we learn from an authentic source that Messrs. Bowring
and Bulwer have made circumstantial inquiries here of the
principal dealers respecting this article of trade, the importa-
tion of which into this country is very considerable, and
chiefly into the port of Antwerp.

STORM AND SHIPWRECKS.

Details of the most distressing description have reached
us from Whitehaven. Two vessels, it is ascertained, have
been wrecked, with an awful loss of life. The Whitehaven
harbour, into which several vessels attempted to get, is de-
scribed as being the cause of the calamity ; and it is added
that the Society of Underwriters in Whitehaven, at a pub-
lic meeting on Monday, came unanimously to the resolu-
tion that they would cease underwriting policies on vessels
trading to the port until the result of a remonstrance sent
to the Trustees of the Harbour be known.

The following particulars relating to one of the vessels
will be read with interest :—While the Musgrave was in
the course of being dashed to pieces, a new subject of inte-
rest presented itself: The Hero having beat off and on ali
night, made another attempt. The Hero is a large smack
of the finest description, built for the voyage between Bel-
fast and London, in the best order, and with a first-rate
crew. When she neared, the weather thickened, and a
squall blew with terrific violence. This and the consequent
wave set her, we thought, a trifle further to leeward than
the Musgrave, and she was repeatedly buried in the surf
almost to the top. She also fetched inside the outer head,
but baffled by the seas, hung in the entrance. We never
witnessed a moment of such intense excitement as was felt
by the spectators of the imminent danger of this valuable
vessel. She hung, it was believed, several minutes, edging
on to the wreck of the Musgrave, and was universally given
up for lost. Still, however, she held her wind, though she
appeared to have entirely lost her headway, and at the aw-
ful moment when life and property hung on less than a
thread, on the mere chance direction of a wave, her bows
were seen to emerge past tie jetty, and actually scraping
her boom on the works, she in another moment weathered
it. A simultaneous cheer burst from hundreds of spectr-
tors, which was re-echoed by the crew, and in another mi-
nute the gallant vessel was safe in the inner harbour. ne
skill with which s'ae was steered was not less remarkable
than her good fortune, without which all would have been
of no avail.

On the Humber five lives were lost under the most af-
fecting circumstances. The body of Captain Pepper was
found near Paull on Saturday afternoon, and that of El.
its near the same place on Sunday morning. The bodies
of the others have not yet been found.
Loss OF THE BRIDE.—HORRIBLE SOFFERING.—On
Friday evening information was received of the loss of the
Bride, Captain Bennett. The afflicting news was con-
veyed in a postscript to a letter :—" Rotterdam, Jan.
19th.—I have opened my letter to announce the appalling
intelligence: of the loss of the Bride, with twelve of the
crew. The survivors are the carpenter and James Russell.
Captain Bennett died fifteen days previous to the vessel
being fallen in with ;—the sufferers on board then in such
a weak state as not to be able to take hold of a rope thrown
to them : they had been twenty-one days on the wreck, and
had sustained life by gnawing, from time to time, the dead
bodies of their ship-mates, and drinking salt water. The
vessel, with the survivors, have arrived in the 'l'exel, from
Cuba."

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

There are very moderate arrivals of all descriptions of Grain
this week, and a very short return of Flour. The Wheat trade
remains firm, and although there was not much doing, the prices
are fully supported. Barley, Beans, and Pease unaltered. Oats
being a short supply, have obtained rather better prices. Flour
continues unaltered.

According to a census lately taken, there were at
at Rome, daring the last year, 5,142 births and 3,977
deaths. The population is increasing, and amounts to
152,457. Foreigners and Jews are not included in this
number, but the aggregate may be estimated at 160,000
souls. The winter is very severe throughout Italy. The
olives, as well as the vegetation in general, have suffered.
We learn that in the mountains of Albano, even the ga-
thered fruits are frozen in the houses. The heavy falls of
snow have rendered the arrivals of the post very irregular.
BIRTHS IN PARlS.—There were born in 1834,
19,119 legitimate children, of whom 9,807 were males, and
9,312 females ; 9,987 illegitimate children, of whom 5,079
were males, and 4,906 females. These make together
14,886 males, and 14,218 females, or a gross total of 29,104
children, being 2,644 more than in 1833, in which year
the number of illegitimate children was 638 less. Mar-
riages—In 1834, they were 8,901, being 153 more
than in 1833.
STEAM EXPLOSION.—Sunday morning the inha-
bitants of Upper Easton, about a mile from Bristol, were
alarmed blithe bursting of a boiler of a steam-engine at
Bayly and Co.'s white lead and patent lead-pipe manufac-
tory. It was a high-pressure engine, and it is said, was the
first time of trial after under going repairs. Three men
were killed on the spot, and seven more injured so seri-
ously, that four of them have since died in our infirmary,
where they were immediately conveyed for medical aid.
Parts of the roof of the building and boiler were carried in
all directions ; a piece of the boilding struck a hole through
a two-foot wall 100 yards distant. The distress into which
the accident has thrown the families of the poor sufferers is
beyond description.
