NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Admiralty, Nov. 19, 1341.
SIR,—T am commanded by my Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty to transmit to you herewith a copy of
a letter from Commander Washington, of her Majesty's
ship Shearwater, and to acquaint you, for the information
of the Committee for managing the affairs at Lloyds,
that immediately on the receipt of this communication
my Lords ordered two steam-vessels to proceed forthwith
in search of the vessel, and to tow her into port or break
her up, lest any damage should be incurred by the ship-
ping.—l am, &e., SIDNEY HERBERT.
William Dobson, Esq., Lloyds.

Her Majesty's ship She'arwater, Harwich, Nov. 18, 1841.
Sia,—l have the honour to acquaint you that yester-
day, when about nine miles E.S.E. off Aldborough, on
the coast of Suffolk, we fell in with the wreck of a
vessel of about 400 tons burthen, coppered and copper-
fastened, and bottom up. Finding this wreck in so dan-
gerous a place for shipping, I deemed it my duty to
endeavour to tow it into the nearest beach, and for this
purpose we made fast our largest hawsers to it, but after
two hours ineffectual attempt, during which our hawsers
were carried away, we were compelled to abandon it.
There was no broad arrow or mark or name on the
copper or copper-bolts, by which the vessel could be
recognized ; but, on being taken in tow, she turned her-
self up, and showed that she was broken off at the floor-
heads, and in a part of her counter which remained was
a raft-post.
It is not impossible that this may be the bottom of the
Russian ship reported to have been wrecked on the
Sizewell Bank, on Sunday last, during the gale from the
N.N.E. The wreck, when last seen, was, as above
stated, nine miles S.S E. of AldborOugh. The flood
stream had there done running ; it is probable, there-
fore, that this would be the southern limit of its drift ;
and, as a heavy gale has since blown from the S.E., it
is to be feared that it has driven still nearer within the
track of shipping passing up and down the east coast
of England It is desirable, therefore, that masters of
vessels should be specially warned to keep a good look-
out between Orfordness and Southwold, about six or ten
miles off shore, as this is a very dangerous wreck, being
of large size, and level with the water.—l am, Sirs,
(Signed) JOHN WASHINGTON, Commander.

P.S. By this night's post I have sent notice of this
wreck to the agent of Lloyd's, at. Newcastle, and shall
and have made it publicly known at Harwich imme-
diately on landing.

DEATH OF NIRS.BLAKESLEY.—INIQUEST ON
THE I3oDe.—On Saturday evening a Coroner's inquest
was holden before W. Payne, Esq., the Coroner for the
City of London, for the fmrpose of inquiring by what
means Sarah Blakesley, the short-fired widow of the
malefactor who was executed on Monday, came by her
deaths. A jury was summoned by Mr. Burford, the
ward beadle, to meet at the Blue Anchor, St. Mary. at-
Hill, at, five o'clock, and there was no delay on the ground
of non-attendance. Mr. Payne said he was aware that
there were some persons who thought that an inquest on
the present occasion was unnecessary, but he and many
others thought to the contrary, and, whatever might be
the reselt.of the inquiry, there were matters connected
with it that would well warrant it. After a few more
observations, the Coroner said they would go and take a
view of the body of the deceased. They then proceeded
to the King's Head, Easteheap, and the parties were
ushered into an upper room, where lay tie deceased
in a handsome black coffin. On their return to the
Blue Anchor, the Learned Coroner proceeded to call wit-
nesses. Evidence was adduced similar to what has
already appeared, and the Coroner, after a few observa-
tions, said, judgment had already been passed, and sen-
tence executed upon the guilty perpetrator, so that the
verdict could have no further effect upon him. Verdict
—" Wilful murder against Robert Blakesley."
SUSPICIONS OF THE ORANGEMEN.—It IS
quite manifest, from the tone taken by some of the Lon-
don journals in reference to the proceedings of the Irish
Executive, that it was the intention of the extreme
Liberal section of Sir Robert Peel's Cabinet to sacrifice
the Irish Conservatives' ftt the shrine of conciliation, and
to prostrate the spirit of our party before the idol of po-
litical expediency. The sneering—indeed the insulting
—tone in which that party is spoken of, and evidently
per order, is but a poor requital for exertions made, and
an ungrateful return for services rendered. Luckily for
the existence of LOrd De Grey's Administration— and
still more fortunately for the peace and prosperity of the
country, the sturdy stand made, and the bold reclama-
tion put forward, backed and supported as both were by
the sense and concurrence of Protestant Ireland—hnve
produced an effect so salutary, and et ow. same `time so
Wisfact4y; thei we wilt tact disturb the good feelingwew
existing, by prolonging a controversy, the cause of which
