HATTON GARDEN.

F. Mason, the son of a military officer residing in the vici-
nity of Ilatton-garden, was charged with robbery.
The prisoner, in reply to the magistrate, owned that he was
Guilty, but trusted that the prosecutor would not press the
charge.
The witnesses were bound over, and the prisoner was com-
mitted for trial.

Margaret Mansell was remanded on suspicion of stealing
plate, valued at 1204, the property of her master, S. Gold-
amid, Esq., of 39, Mecklenhurgh-square.

UNION-HALL.

A wedding party, consisting of James Stone, Elizabeth, his
wife, James Turner, an aged mail, and Dorothy his daughter,
were charged with intoxication, and creating a Distur-
bance. On the preceding day Stone was married to Tur-
ner's daughter ; and, after the ceremony, the bridegroom
invited the party " to take a drag of summut to keep out
the cold." They accordingly repaired to a public-house,
where they drank so much, that nothing would suit the
" ladies" but a dance. Being " rather" the worse for
liquor, the bride and her sister fell on the floor, and the others
in endeavouring to get them up, shared the same fate, and a
curious scene ensued. At length two cabs were sent for by
the landlord, and the party with some difficulty got into them;
but the bride not finding her husband by her side, " kicked up
a rumpus," and a crowd of persons followed the cab, which ul-
timately had an upset, and the bride and her sister were thrown
out, but without sustaining any injury. The whole party hav-
ing again met, they commenced singing and creating such a
disturbance as to require the interference of the police, and
they were ultimately conveyed to the station-house ; the party
having evinced contrition, the Magistrate discharged them
without paying the usual fines.

At the Cheltenham Pollee-office, on Tuesday, an
old man, named Hawker, prayed thst his daughter, an aban-
doned young girl of 13 years of age, might be let off by the
Magistrates, before whom she was charged with attempting
to kill her mother, " because," the old man said, "he believed
her to have been born under a malignant star, and that she
was bad through her destiny, and not inclination." It is al-
most needless to say the defence did not avail the prisoner
much.—Cheltenham Chronicle.
James Tyler, an idiot pauper, aged 18, escaped in
a state of nudity from Chatham workhouse on Tuesday morn-
ing, and was soon after found frozen to death in a hole where

TOTAL LOSS OF THE KILLARNEY

STEAMER.

TWENTY-FIVE LIVES LOST.

The Cork Southern Reporter of Tuesday contains a long
accotint of the wreck of the above ill-fated ♦essel, which left
thn.: quay there on Friday morning. The weather was very
sere on that morning with frost and snow, and the wind
blowing flesh-from the cast. She had got down but a little
below Passage, blew, anticipating and preparing for the weather
that was outside, the carpenter got directions to fasten down
the dead-lights, which was partially done, but one being stiff
or out of order, could not be managed. The vessel then
proceeded to sea, it being observed by persons on the beach of
Core that she went very slowly and was greatly out of trim.
This, however, may be easily accounted for, am she had 600
pigs on her deck. After getting out of the harbour the fall of
snow became heavier, which made it quite impossible for any
of the passengers to remain above, and even the Captain and
such of the crew as it was necessar7 should he in motion could
hardly keep their legs. The snow and wind were increasing ,
and the Captain was asked whether he would not try and make
Youghal, but he said he dare not near the land, whieh was
completely obscured by the snow. Some little time after—
being then, perhaps, about twelve miles from the harbour, the
Captain determined to put back, and wearing the ship, which
she did well, though there was a report that in doing she was
in great danger, she bore up for the harbour which she entered
at one o'clock, having left it at ten, and ran up as far as White-
point, where she dropped anchor.
Here two of the cabin passengers, Richard Callaghan, Esq.
brottler to the City Member, Mr. Nicolay, an officer of the
99th Reginlent, came on shore, the former bringing with hint
his luggage, but the latter left his on board. Mr. Callaghan
abandoned the ship altogether and came home ; but Mr.
Nicolay returned to her, and at five o'clock, P.M., she again
left the harbour, the weather, as we learn, having in no degree
moderated.
On Sunday, at about eleven o'clock, a messenger arrived in
town, dispatched by Mr. Galwey of Fort Richard, to the
agents of the St. George Steam Packet Company, commu-
nicating the disastrous intelligence of the total loss of the
Steamer upon one of the Rocks called the Raine's, about two
miles from/Robert's Cove, where she had gone to pieces, and
that several persons, of the crew or passengers, were discer-
nible on the Rock, but with whom it was impossible to com-
municate the sea running so high that no boat or craft could
live in it, and the roaring of the surge being so great that no
voice could reach it.

The_ most intense anxiety, as may easily be imagined, per-
vaded the city all Sunday.
Having proceed to sea at five P.M. on Friday evening, the
unfortunate vessel got as far as Youghal, when one of the
pipes of the engine became choakcd, which filled the engine
room with water and put out the fires. She thus got totally
unmanageable, and the Captain attempted to put her before
the wine, but her sails were blown to atoms, and she drifted
at the mercy of the waves past this harbour, the gale all the
time increasing, and about four o'clock on Saturday evening-
struck on the rocks called the Rennics to westward of Ro-
bert's Cove, and became a total wreck. When the vessel first
struck, twenty-nine persons got on the rock, where they re-
mained until Sunday morning before any assistance could be
rendered them. Mr. Law was drowned when the vessel
struck. Mrs. Law got on the rock, but was washed away on
Saturday night. Sunday morning set in rather favourably,
and the neighbouring gentry were early on the spot, when
every exertion that skill and courage could call into action was
used to save the unfortunate people, who were so near that their
voices could now be fully distinguished, but for want of any
means to reach them all hope of saving them was given up, when
Mr. Hull and Mr. Galwey suggested the plan of passing a line
from one headland to another, which would fall on the rock
where the people were. This plan with some difficulty was
carried into effect, and the line reached the people ; but they
being too eager, two of them got on the rope together, when
it broke, and the poor fellows met a watery grave. Night
now setting in, the parties on shore were obliged reluctantly
to give up for the night their exertions, and leave the poor
people to spend another dreadful night on the rock.
The next morning, Mr. Galwey and others were early on
the spot, aided by the water guard, who had procured Cap-
tain Manby's apparatus from Kinsale ; but, on trying, the shot
fell short of the rock, Mr. Galwey's plan described abov e
was then again tried, and iwith complete success, when the
rope was passed to them with a basket containing some food,
and a note from Mr. Conway, telling them how to place the
hawser ; and here an instance of noble self-devotion was shown
by the poor sufferers, who, with one accord, although starving
themselves, handed the basket to the Captain, who divided it
amongst them, first supplying a poor woman, the only female
that survived. A cott was then passed along the hawser front
the cliff to the rock, and each of the people, the woman first,
were safely landed. They were immediately wrapped in
warm blankets, provided for them by Lady Roberts. There
is no vestige of the vessel with the exception of the boilers.
Twenty-five persons have met a watery grave.
The crew were nearly all from the neighbourhood of Bris-
tol. The cargo consisted principally of flour, butter, leather,
and pigs, and must have been valuable.
The rock against which the luckless vessel struck or swung
is in the centre of a Bay, formed by jutting promontories at
either side, which appear a miie asunder. It is about 250
yards from the cliff, which is quite perpendicular, and 300
yards above the sea. At this very place the entire Light
Company and Band of the 32d Regiment were lost during the
American war.

The last accounts from Vienna say that the Arch-
duchess Maria Louisa, of Parma (the widow of Napoleon) is
recovering from her late dangerous illness. In case of her
death the reversion of the Duchy of Parma would devolvo
upon the Duke of Lucca, who is already in the receipt of a
considerable annuity in anticipation of the inheritance.
A few nights ago, some mischievous ruffian got
into a paddock adjoining the vicarage house of the Rev. Mr.
Lindsay, the Vicar of Croydon, and cut all the hair off the
tail of a favourite pony of that gentleman. It is conjectured
that the mischievous act must have been committed by some
stranger, as Mr. Lindsay is generally beloved in the parish,
on account of his kindness and humanity of disposition.

The Lord Mayor, with his accustomed attention to
the relief of his fellow-citizens, has, in reply to a letter from
the Directors of the Deptford Pier, calling his attention to
the subject relative to the restriction of unloading coals " out
of turn," directed that restriction to be removed ; and about
40 colliers, that broke adrift from their moorings by the ice
on Wednesday last, and were only saved from being wrecßod
by the activity of the Superintendent of the Deptford Pier,
are now discharging their cargoes at the above pier, to the
great relief of the public.
