LOSS DP THE IRLAM:

-On Sunday morning last, abbut roar o'clock, the
weather being thick and hazy, the ship irlam (let-
ter of marque), bound from Barbadoes to Liverpool,
laden with sugar and cotton, and having on board
part of the skeleton of the 16th regiment of foot,
commanded by Captain Hall, consisting of ten
officers, and 62 rank. and file, and 32 women and
children, struck on Tuscar-rock so quick was her
destruCtion, that the.unhai:py sufferers had but just
time to get into the boats, sorne2.half dressed, others
almost naked, when she filled with water, and in a
short time went .to pieces. A sailor,- a drummer,
and four childten unfortunately perished, Three
men putting off from the ship in the jolly-boat,
unable to reach'. the .rock, were blown to sea,
.but some hopes are entertained that they were
picked up.
The only means by which the passengers and
crew of this ill-fated vessel could save, their lives
was to seek refuge on the rock, which was quite in-
accessible at that side, the'summit being , not less
than thirty feet from the surface of the water, other-
wise inevitable death must have been the -conse-
quence. This they were enabled to accomplish
with the assistance of a number of men (providen-
tially placed there for the purpose of laying the
foundation of a light-house), who, with a degree of
humanity reflective of the highest-credit,- immedi-
ately, commenced this arduous task, which was
effected by drawing the men up from the hbats, one
by one, with a rope fastened round the ‘i,aist, and
placing the children in a bag made fast to the end
of the rope.

At this time a brig hove in sight, which, on dis-
covering the ship a total wreck, and the rock cover-
ed with people, instantly lay-to, when seven of the
officers, the ladies, the master, and a nuMber of
the sailors and soldiers, .were conveyed on board, by
the frequent returning of, the boat. In the course
of this effort it came to blow %c ith increased violence,
and the vessel was compelled to get undeK weigh,
leaving on the rock three officers, sixteen privateg,
one woman, the mate, and twelve seamen, who,
after remaining there for two days and nights; were
on Monday evening brought to town in a boat be-
longing to. Mr. John Roach.
The officers lost property to a considerable
amount. One Gentleman had plate on board worth
3001: The mate lost aboxs.containing 200 guineas,
the fruit of many, years toil. We cannot cl.,se this
narrative without mentioning the savage-like con-
du& of a monster in human form, who passed in a
brig (we are sorry to-say unknOwn, otherwise we
would state her name, and exhibit her ruffian Inas-
ter to public detestation), deaf to the entreaties of
the suffereTs.—(ffexfortiJournal.)

Further particulars of the conspiricy at St. Peters-
burgh have transpired, Land it appears that the plot
was wholly French, and that the design was to re-
peat what was pra6lised in Spain, to convey into
France the Emperor, and all the Members of the
Imperial Family.
The Political Constitution of the Spanish Monar-
chy has been published at Cadil. This Constitution
is construaed on the plinciple of popular represen-
tation. Amongst the nt'ost curious articles of this
national Ad- is the provision, that " alter the year
1830, those who enter anew on the Rights of
Citizenship, must know how to read and write."
Such ena&ment 'affords a rational prospect that the
night of ignorance and superstition may. be
.even-
tually dispelled in Spain, and at tio remote period,
by.the light of knowledge. The policy of admit-
ting the Spanish Colonies to share in the represen-
tations is another striking feature of the new Con•
stitution..

Advice is received at the Admiralty of the loss of
the Hon. J. GORR,' son of the. Countess Dowager
ARRAN, and Captain of hi; Majesty's ship Scorpion,
on service upon the Leeward Island station. This
gallant and much-beloved young Officer, seeing one
of the foremast men fall werboard, immediately
endeavoured to throw hinisfil into the sea to save
him ; but, unfortunately, he got entangled in some
boats' ropes astern, and, though an excellent swim-'
mer, perished in this humane attempt. Gs.ipt. GORE
had saved two *seamen on former occasions, by
jumping into the sea to their deliverance. •

- MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--Jane Jones and Anne
Rogers, girls of fifteen artd • seventeen years of age,
were charged with breaking and entering the Jacob's
Well public-house, Charles-street, and stealing the
till, with its contents, ,from the bar, together with
other articles. Rogers, the:youngest of the two
prisoners, had latt 4, lived servant in the house, and
she got in by a back window on the first floor, and
afterwards let in her accomplice. They proceeded
to the bar, which they got into by breaking a pane
of glass, and after regaling themselves with cordials
as well as eatables, they pitsse,.sed themselves of the
till, which contained 51'. They next proceeded
down stairs, where they stole some eggs, and having
espied a hen at roost, they dispatehed her, and after
filling their aprons, they were stopped by a watch-
man in $l. Giles's, on suspicion of having commit-
ted a robbery, and they made a full confession...
They wcte.fully committed for tiLl.
