SHIPWRECK ON Ittrouartria.—Among the distressing
clients which occurred at Leith and its neighbourhood on
the night of the td inst., we have to record the loss of a vessel
of about forty tons, called the Tay, with her crew, belong.
log to Liniekilna, ound from Dysart to Perth with coals. It
appears that this vessel was at anchor on the eastern side
of Inehkeith, as by the reflection of the light upon her
mainsail, she was seen
_getting under way by the crew of a
passing vessel, just as the gale increased from the south-east.
But it as presumed that she had never fetched way, but drifted
on shore upon the island. The vessel is a complete wreck ;
and two of the bodies have been found and carried up to the
Light-house, one Of which is supposed to be 111 r. Coss,—

nOit COTTON F.AoTtlitir BLOWN DOWN,—
The high winds which prevailed for several
days last past, have been very desolating in
their effects at Preston. On the evening
Wednesday last it blew a perfect hurricnn
there, from the north-west, and about 3 o'clock
in the morning of Thursday the newly-erected
cotton mill, belonging to Mr. ,Riley, situate
in Fishwick, was blown down with a tre-
mendous crash—scarcely leaving one brick stand-
ing. The building was just covered in, and part
of the windows were glazed. The large beams
were broken in two, as if only reeds. It is a re-
markable coincidence that it should be exactly
twelve months since a similar accident hap-
pened. The loss in this instance is estimated
at two thousand pounds, besides the delay that
must occur before the building can he raised
again. The extensive cotton milli building by
Messrs. Sivainson and Co.nt ar that of Mr, Riley,
also suffered severely, the building having been
thrown about eighteen inches out of the square ;
but it is expected that it will be able
to be screwed up. The damage done ,at
Messrs. Swainsim and Co.'s will exceed 2001.
Al great many windows were broken in the
houses in exposed situations; and there will
be work for the slitters and masons , for
some days to come. We are happy .in
being able to state that no lives are losti.7—
Chorloy also felt the effect of the storm, and
the Church building there, out of the money
granted, by Parliament, is partially blown down,
the loss amounting to upwards of 1,0001.
CoUIaTSUIP.—On Tuesday week, es a
young woman of the name of Maur BrexEr was on her
way from her home at Wragby to Halifax, where she was
engaged as a servant, being :fatigued,' she called for refresh-
ment at the George and Dragon inn, in Dewsbury. . .4 short
time after, a young butcher of the name of Ogennr l3matctr
came in, clapped her upon the shoulder, and said, " TM*. young
woman will make me a good housekeeper." The damsel,
nothing lath, assented to the observation ; a serious convey.
nation ensued, which ended in procuring a licence, and the
amorous pair were married the next morning, to the great' en-
tertainment of a very numerous party or attendruits..-4 17ork

Another explosion of hydrogen gas took plate
in a coal-pit at Fenton Park, near Lane-Delph,
on Tuesday last. Twenty persons, men and
boys, were at work in the pit at the time ; they
perceived that a large quantity of foul air had
collected, but before -they could be removed
from their dangerous situation it ignited, and
each of them received more or less injury ; tho
lives of several are in danger, but at present none
deed.—(StWordshire Advertiser.)

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Papers, De:. O.

[MORNING PORT.]
. 'rench -Papers to the 7th inst. and, the Etoile.
of Sunday reached us last night by Express.—
Their contents are not without interest. A corn-
promise seems IQ have taken. place since the re-
turn of the Duke 'd!Angouleme, between the
VitraJtoyalists and the Ministers. The former,
who considered themselves insulted- and attacked
'by the removal of the Duke of Belluno from the
War; Department, had prevailed upon him to re-
ject'tkeembassy.to Vienna, and to prefer a pri-
vate life to.a situation which would keep him at
acifSta,nce.froahis,.party. They have afterwards
airected',:their: efforts to .a more mighty object,
and Atruggled'hard to prevent the appointment of
his antagonist, ,Guilleminot, to the post of War
Minister, :which they conceived to. be holden
IWArtisVby the, .Baron De Damas forhim,,—
Circumstanceagave them a great advantage in the
struggle : for the determination of the Ministers,
after dissolving the .Chamber, to propose Sep-
tennial Parliaments, could scarcely be carried
into effect without..their support. „Hence they
.
were enabled .to make. terms, and those terms
40pArtrtolutve..been;. that Guilleminot-should be
fleo :An'thassadov to Constantinople. But an-
044,,difACUlty'retnairied to be overcome. Gen.
GUMOIOI4IOI '-was the acknowledged favourite of
theiDti)o d'Angottlerne, and it was thought that
•thit."•llere of France" would never consent to
the retisoval. of the man to whose wise arrange-
-4044 he mttiuly owed the success of big campaign
in the,Peninsula.„ The Royal Duke seems, how-
eyer, to have -proved more tractable than it had
4en:antkipated. Perhaps the coldness of his
reception in the capital had inspired him with a
hprobler opinion of his achievements in Spain ;
or o,e excessive praises of hired panegyrists,
compared with the little which he really had an
opporinnity to perform, had made him sensible
,that samething like.ridicule would attach to his
name- if stood on the greatness of his ser-
vices. ,However this may be, he has given
way ; and Guilleminot is to repair to•Constanti-
nipple on the condition that Belluno will go to
Vienna.' The latter is said to have agreed to
this arrangement after receiving a fresh invitation
from. the King, and to be already preparing for
his departure. The former, who is still iu Spain,
waiting to know what his Protector could elfect
for him, will probably feel equally disposed to
bend to the force of circumstances, and by a
little prudent temporizing to secure the continu-
'etl.of:hia.future Monarch.

[NEW Mt ES.]
The chief foreign news received yesterday
was that from Lima. The letters from that
place come up to the 9.lst of August, and their
,general tenor seems to skew that the Spanish
party, under General Conteree, which kept pos-
session of Lima till the..l6th of July, was in full
retreat before the united Colombian and Peru-
vian army. Very different accounts are given
-of' the behaviour of General Camerae, whilst
be occupied the town. According to one
letter, he seized property to the amount of
a million of dollars, of which 100,000 dollars
worth was British property. According to
another the contributions levied were moderate,
and British property was so far respected that
there was only a duty of 15 per cent. imposed
on it. ft seems, however, that the commercial
.prnspects in that quarter were gloomy in the
extreme. •

Cutir TIMES.]
Saturday's French Papers bring two Decrees
of Ferdinand; but not a word in either about
mercy or justice—about the forgiveness of his
Constitutional suhjects, or the recognition of the
national debts. One of these decrees authorizes
an immediate dissolution of the corps of Royal
voliniteers throughout Spain, in the shape of dis-
charges to those who are " desirous of dis-
cantittuing 'their services. The second de-
c.:4e, aftdr a' dismal' preface, lamenting the
exhausted' Condition of the treasury, com-
mands a reduction of salaries to the mini-
mum on which the public servants can well
exist, as tlh only means of re-establishing the
finances. Now, as a great proportion of the
public functionaries Of Spain have for a long time
past gone with only the name of salary—that is
to say, have been reduced to the minimum called
" nothing," there may be some difficulty in ex-
tracting any sensible benefit from the proposed
economical reform. A medal, it appears, has
been struck to commemorate the triumphant
entry of the Duke of Angouletne into Paris.—
Itis Royal Highness is represented on horse-
back, with the standard of France—faith-
fut warriop—citizens of Paris—crowns of
bldrer, &c. Could not the artist have found
room fora few sacks of Louis d'or in the back
ground ? Among the emblems of victory, surely
the eauges of it need not have been forgotten. The
Court old the Cabinet of France are, it is said,
too much' occupied with the rejoicings and the
intrigues to which the return of the Duke of
Angouleme has given rise, to think of foreign
afrairs. According to a saying of Prince
Talleyrand, " the violence of the American
fever <4 ha 4 very' much subsided ;" the Mi.
Misters think that they wilt have quite
eifough to do keep peace in Ferdinand's
d'orninions on this side of the Atlantic, without,
giving him the additional trouble of governing
AMerica. Russia, however, urges France nearly
za zealously to undertake un expedition across
the Atlantic, as across the Pyrenees. There is
yo douht at all entertained at Paris of the mean-
Pezzo'S skec h to the King of Spain ;, he
hcfliself moos, no attempt to keep the key of the'
eriigrnq.
