EFFECTS OF THE LATE. STORM.

DUBLIN, DEC. 22.—Our accounts from liowth
are truly distressing. A. brig (name unknown)
ran fottl of the pier yesterday morning, and was
clashedto pieces ; no hies, saved. A wherry also
struck against the .diritt:4 bell; -and wa%; lost. A
large vessel apne:lred off Sutton in great distress,
about three o'clock yesterday ; no 'assistance
could be afforded her front the shore, and this
morning she was not to be seen.
Conk, .DEC. 19.—Notwithstanding the safety
of • our harbour, trout 'its capacity and its land-
locked situation, much injury has been sustained
there.by many vessels ; tbe principal damage hap-
pened to the following -ships.:The Apollo, of
London, with bale goods for Bermuda, was driven
.ashore in Cusquinny Bay ; the Fame and Oporto
packets were aground in the same place ; a
brig, with fruit, bound from, Malaga to Livv.-
pool, drove front the, quarantine ground, and got
ashore at Ahada. The brig Patriot,, flout St.
Übes, with salt, for Cork, haS seven feet wa-
ter in her hold, and is driven ashore on CUS-
CliDlly Beach=---the cargo of course will be to,-
tally lost; the Pronticao, Portuguese schooner,
lust her bowsprit ; farther considerable damage,
loss of anchors and cables, Ac. to several other
vessels ; the Eliza, bound for, BpUrdeaux, parted
two cables at Passage, and would have been on
shore, but for the exertions of the Messrs. Barry,.
at that place. •
WATERFORD, :DEC. 24.—The Active of Work-
ington, from Chepstow to Workington, laden
with timber, drove on the Flat Rocks, near-Dun-
more, on Thursday noon, and went to pieces.—
Three of thc crew were saved, and four drownecl,
the Captain, his sou, the mate, and one seaman.
Some part of the cargo will he saved. •
SLIGO, Dec. 17.--1-In the severe ,storm of yes-
terday, the Hibernia and Swallow, both of this
port, have been drove ashore in our river; 'they

are expected to be got off with little damage ; the
latter was on her .way to Killala. We regret to
find that the Taunton, of Cardigan, bound to
Greenock, which left this harbour on Tuesday
last, has been totally lost on Donegal Bay—crew
saved.

KINS ALE, DEC. 20.—0 n Saturday morning the
Hooke Pilot, of Kinsale, being cruising in very
. severe weather,- south of the Old Head, saw a
vessel to leeward, with every appearance of
tress. In bearing down. on her, the Pilot shipped
two heavy seas; that made her almost unmanage-
able, and obliged the crew to get her head
to the wind, and pump for almost an hour, by
which tithe they got her free, and again attempted
for the vessel, and succeeded in getting along-
side, when several parcels of clothes and bedding
were immediately thrown on board the' Pilot,
by .the crew of the vessel, who, were partly over
the sides to follow, when the. Master of the
Pilot prevented them by steering off, first putting
one of .his men on ,board, then 'desiring the crew
of the vessel to stick to her, and that he would
sail alongside until he got them safe into Kinsale
The crew 'were so dismayed, that the
.pilot on
board with them could with difficulty persuade
them to work, or. assist to manage the vessel.
She is now in Kinsale harbour. On getting in,
they immediately ran bet on a bank. She proves
to be a. schooner from ,Spain, with wine, fruit, &c.
Lisinatex, Dec. I'7.—On Thursday night, or at
a very early hour on Friday morning, the most
awfia and terrific tempest from- the South and
West, that ever was remembered, arose and con-
tinued without intermission until between 11 and
12 o'clock yesterday. -The river Shannon swelled
to an unprecedented height, with a surf which
caused it to overflow .the country to an extent
never before witnessed ; there was no trace of
the highest banks upon the river, and they are
broken and prostrate everywhere we have as yet
heard of. At the quays, in this harbour, the se.-
veral vessels drove from their moorings,, and a
large Norway ship, the Pax, a brig, the Caroline,
and a sloop, the Elizabeth, were forced beyond
Curragour Mills, near Thomond bridge, and with
much exertion were saved from injury, by Messrs.
Muhiock and Graham, Ship-brokers, with their-.
men.

LKENNY ,DEd. 7.—On Tit ursday night, abMtt.
twelve o'clock, a' heavy gale of .wind came on
from the West, which progressed with awful vio-
lence until near five o'clock yesterday moruing,
when it blew a perfect hurricane, at which tate
the storm continued until' about ten A. M. Alter
that hour, rain 'began to fall, .and the teutpcst
gradually subsided until noon, when. it -ceased'
raining, and was followed by a very still' breeze,

confintrB for st.-vzral la 401:s , arl,4 was cal,
lowed by a evenivig. l It is impossible fov'us,
in this rublicatiott, tot enumerate the various-do.-
grages of public and I)63:ate prop*ty which this,
teo•ible storm occasioned in our city and vicinage;
and even if we had space for detail, we could not
procure the particulars in sufficient time so accu-
rately as xve could ‘vish: Kilkenny Castle, the
seat of the Right Hon. the. Earl of Ormonde and
Ossory, from its elevated situation, suffered ma-
terial injury.
In the dreadful storm of Saturday, a vessel
called the Conception, bound from Dublin to Wex-
ford-, was driven ashore, and wrecked at Bally-
uesear, near WeXford Harbour. The crew took
to their boat, and with the exception of one man
drowned, reached the shore ; but they left be-
hind them, fastened to the weather shrouds, a
mother and her daughter, over whom the sea beat
furiously, and every moment threatened to tear
them from this their last refuge. A poor fisher-
man named William Hanson, saw from the shore
their dreadful situation ; he collected some of the
boldest of his fellows, who, with infinite difficulty
rowed him towards the wreck, now lying on her
side, and consequently the mast along on the sur-
face of the sea. On-the utmost-point of the mast
he fastened hitarself- (for his boat thirst not ap-'
proach the twit of the wreck), and front thence
climbered to the body of the vessel.—Here a new
difficulty arose—the contest between the mother
and daughter, which should, by the offered aid,
first attempt the shore ; nor was it ended till their
gallant deliverer assured theta that he would re:-
turn fOr her who should retuanr. He first brought
to the shore the mother, and scarcely waiting to
take breath, returned for the daughter, whom he
after Wards, through the tremendous surge, landed
in safety.—(Cork.Advertizer, Dec. 22.)

We are sorry-to state, that the respectable Dis-
,counthouse of George Steb•elly -and Sons, has
been obliged to suspend • paYment: We observe,
that a meeting of the holders of their notes has
-been called for on Friday next, for the purpose of
submitting to them a statement of their affairs,
which, from the well-known integrity of the in-
' victuals which, composed this firm, we have- no
doubt will fully satisfy ihe-public as to this de-
rangement of their affairs.—(Cork Intelligencer.)
We are extremely sorry to learn, that part of
the King's County,. in the vicinity Of Clara, is at
present in a very disturbed state. Almost every
house ftom whence fire-arms could be procured,
has been visited by nightly ruffians called Carders,
and plundered. ri‘he.system of terror seems to .be.
triumphant, as but little information can be Ob,-
tained rs,specting those outrages. A meeting of
the Magistrates and principal inhabitants, was
•held at Clara, on the 30th ult. when-a large,snm
was subscribed, for the purpoSe.Of procuring inr
formation and bringing; offenders to justice. As
yet no good has resulted from this. proceeding.
:•We ire concerned to state, that part of• this
county, near Tullaroa n, continues very much dis-
turbed, and that 1,4 houses were- lately braken
open in one week in that neighbourhood, and in
many instances the inhabitants were obliged
,to
comply with the requisition of the armed banditti,
who regulate, with uncontrouled sway, the price
of potatoe-ground, the employment of servants,
the marrying of wealthy families ; and, in one
case, have sworn a fariner, whose name is Maher,
and who is bound, over to prosecute one of tiveir
friends, not to appear.—The night succceding•the
burning of Mr.-Baker's house, was warked by the
plunder of two decent farmers, who live between
Tullaroan and the Slieveardagh collier,yt, of money.
and goods to the amoßnt of 1001. We understand
an active search was made for the goods by two-
neighbo' ' M

Last Wednesday week, a respectable man, re-
siding•in the parish of St. James, Clerkenwell,
who had lately come front Mancha ter, attempted
to put •a period to his existence by boring a hole
on each side of his neck, of a_stifficient bigness
to admit two fingers, which, upon being disco-
vered, surgical assistance was immediately pro-
cured, and-the Gentleman at whose house he then
lodged knowing nothing of him or his relations,
and having observed that he appeared very deject-
ed, thought it advisable to have him removed to
the workhouse, which was accordingly done, and
he was put into one of the rooms on the third
story, and the doctor had justice,. him, after having
dressed the wounds of his neck, when the unfor-
limate man immediately made a spring from his
bed through,the window, breaking three panes of
glass, and also the wood-work, and fell on the
rough' stones in the yard, at. the-back Of the
workhouse, a distance of •40 feet in height, and
he was taken tip alive, and• is now :in.a fair way
of recovery. On beint, examined, they only.found.
hi allele broke, and' with no other fracture or
extern:tl bruise. "It is. supposed embarrassment
was the
.cause of his derairgement. Ile had re-
ceived a letter the day. before front his father, re-
questing him to come deivn to, Manchester, to
meet his creditors.
