ESCAPE OF TUITE, TUE Mnapartart.—Sunday
evening, Franc-is:Mite, who was confined in New-
gate, Dublin, to abide his trial at the approach-
ing Cominission of Over and Terminer, for the
minder of Mr. Golding, of South Anne-street,
effected his'escape. It appears that lie contrived
to dress himself in female apparel, and in that dis-
guise to • have evaded the vigilance of the 'Finn-
key.. His escapemnst have occurred about half-
past four o'clock' in the evening; as he was in the
yard at four, and at five; the time for, locking ap
the felon side of 'the prisOrt,he was missed. His
coat Iraq found, but the chains which were on his
legs were taken away, which. it is supposed he
contrived to tie up in such a manner, that they
enultrnot either make a noise, or interrupt him
in his escape ; they were very light,. and 'could
be easily concealed-under the petticpats.
We are concerned to state, that the winter has
commenced with a melancholy instance of the in-
seehrity that vessels are subject to in apploaching
the hay of Dublin, in its present state, during
rough, not to say stormy weather. Sunday exhi-
bited, along the Strand of Merricin, the fragments
of a sloop lust wrecked within the bay. She was
bound from Plymouth to Liverpool, burden 70.
tons, laden With 40 hales of cotton, and seven
boxes of silk. She had been in distress for'some
days', having one of her men disabled by'a stroke
of the boom, the Captain and boy being constantly
at the pump for three days previous to her en-
attnee into the hay. In this wretehed state, the
Captain ran for the Light-house, as nn alterna-
tive was left but either to encounter the formi-
dable presence of the Bar, or foamier at sea. - In
this perilous situation, the miserable alternative,
was; decided. fur the former ; and its bringing
round, the South' buny. of the Bar, the wind E.N.V,.
being, totally unfavourable, the vessel took the
ground on the breast of the White Bank, which
lies 'on the south side of the wall, and the rudder
becoming useless, all management was vain, and
she drilled into the Bank, where the,waves adon
tore her to pieces. The crew were happily saved
in a skill`.-(Dublin Corr egpondent, 0(.1.27 .)
it is not yet known what the vessel was which
sias wrecked off the Bir Isle on Thursday. A
man wlls.seen, walking on the rock, but no,person
could leave' the shore. Friday, when they went
to him, he was found dead. On searching,,him,
nothing could be got which would lead to any
discovery respecting the ves,.el. Sonic dead pigs
and beams have been driven ashore.—(Betfast
Chronicle.)

On. Monday night, the 11th ult. about eight
o'clock, as
..Mr. HENRY /lAMILTON (brother ofthe late Dr. HAMILTON, of Ballinahinch), was
going from his,father's hottse to that of his bro-
ther, situated about three miles from Ballinalduch,
on the Rathfriland-road, he was way lani by a
party of men, supposed to he about twenty in
number, who
,attacked hint, and beat and inhu-
manly abused him in such a manner, that he died
the following morning. It is supposed that the
blow which caused his death was given by a spade
shaft. AOn otter's inquest was held on.the,hoev,,
which brought \hi a verdict of Nitlitt Murder
against .some person or persons unknown. Subse-
quent, however, to the Coroner's inquest, infor-
mation had been received,' which, we hope, will
leail to the discovery of the perpettators of this
horrid trantactiOn. We are 'sorry to add, that it
originated in that unfortunate paety-spirit so pre-
valent of late the vicinity of liallinahillch.—
