CONTEST FOR THE ALDEILMANIC GOWN.—It is
expected that the contest lit the approaching
election of an Alderman for Langbourn Ward, in
the room of Sir JOHN EAMER, deceased, will be
very warmly maintained upon the part of all the
candidates. A deputation of some, of the most
respectable and affluent inhabitants of the Ward
waited upon ROWLAND STEPHENSON, Esq. banker,
of Lombard-street, for the purpose of ascertain-
ing whether he would undertake to represent
the Ward, and having received an answer to
their wish, an active canvass was immediately
commenced. The other candidates are Mr. KEY,
a stationer, and Sir FRANCIS DESANGES, who is
already known to the public as having served the
office of Sheriff of London,

[From the Dublin. Freenutni sJourval. 1
A letter received in town yesterday (Sunday, the 30th ult.)
from a Gentleman who went. aver to tlllybead. specially for
the purpose of making inquiries relative giihni deplorable event,
cOnnrrns the accounts which have been laid before the public in
all the main particulars. It states, that the vessel struck at ten
o'clock on Wedneaday morning, on- the West Mouse 'Rack,
about a mile and a half from the shore ; she wits -then drift•:.
ing wit
.the tide at the rate of, ten knots an hour; when ap-
proaching the rock, the men were put into the boat to tow her oil;
but to no_effct—she struck, and went down in about three guars'
ters of an hour. In the mean time nine of the deck passengers,
and one
_cabin passenger (a Liverpool_ watchmaker), leaped
from the bowsprit into the boat. The captain leaped over,
board, and was lashed to its helm. They were landed 10. miles
nearer to Liverpool than Holyhead., Our excellent friend
Hore, who was m the cabin when the vesselstruck, got on deck,
and was the only one (except Mr. APlCeniie, who escaped) who
retained his self,possession. He continued in the packet while
any hopes remained, throwing out buckets of water, anti wait
seen ,afterwards attached to a crate of eggs. in the water by a
deck passenger, who was on the same-,-erat.‘, He remained
clinging to it for about fifteen minutes; and exclaiming aloud,
"-(3h God ! is their no hope of relief?" At the expiration of
a quarter of an hour he let go his hold and sunk to rise no more.
The man who was on the crate with him says, he did not seem
completely exhausted at the time. In ten minutes after our
dear friend went down, the boat which rescued 111‘Kenzie and
the two deck passengers reachfd the crate.
No trace has been discovered of . Mr. sore's body. The
Gentleman Who went to Holyhead travelled above 10 miles
along the shore, and left an accurate description of his person
to every respectable individual along the line. If his remains
should be washed ashore, a communication will be made to his
afflicted friends in Dublin, to whom it would be some consola-
tion to recover rind pay the last sad ditties to his Mortal re-
mains. No bodies were found after the first day.. 'I he boats
from Holyhead picked up 29 bodies, all deck passengers,, ex-
cept three, gentleman who had a bill in liis,pocket,
drawn b Messrs. Ferrier and Politicks, of Dublin, and sup-
posed to be Mr. W. Martin's nephew ; a lady who had letters
in her pocket directed, Mrs. Reid, at Mr. Alderman M'Kenny's,
and. a lady (name unknown) with a child at her breast.
It is consolatory_to be enabled to state, that Mr. I)owton was
not on board the Ales-i. That gentleman sailed by the Holy-
-head packet on Wednesday morning. •
We can also state, on the best authority, that Mr. Coote, the.
Gentleman who is mentioned in an evening paper to have left
the Hibernian Hotel for Liverpool, on board the Alert, did net
sail in that ill-fated vessel, although his name was booked, Mr.
Coote-having been prevailed upon to change his route, which he
accordingly did, and left the above hotel for Holyhead on Tues-
day morning. We therefore hasten to contradict the report of
his being one of the unhappy suiti:rers, and to relieve the minds
of that Gentleman's friends.

Mr. Benson, of Bachelor's-walk, is anothor person who was,
as stated in some of the evening papers, to have sailed in the
Alet t. We are authorized to say, thatil'lr. Benson was not in
that packet. fie also, fortunately, wen: by the H ead.
