8111PWRECE.—The schooner Eleanor, of Natant', New Pro.
vidence, was on a voyage from Nuevitas bound to Baracoa, with
a number of passengers on board, when, in the night of the
23d of May, site suddenly struck upon one of a cluster of small
Keys called the Brothers, within about 12 miles of Ragged
Island. The Eleanor, after.foriking, drifted off for some dis-
tance, when she sunk in deep water, and 16 of the passengers in-
stantly perished. Five persons, however, among whom were
Mr. John Armbrister, jam, and a young man of the name of
Zanicle, were fortunate enough to reach one of the Keys, where
they remained in great distress for 12 or 14 days, when Zanicle
determined to endeavour to get to Ragged Island,and according.
ly pushed off astride of a log of wood which he picked up, and
paddled himself to that island, where he landed very much
exhausted from famine and fatigue, and related the state in
which he had left the survivors on the Key. A vessel was
dispatched front Ragged Island in search of those on the
Key; but when they arrived there, they could find no one; but
saw a grave where one person had been buried, which Zanicle
supposed to have been a sick Spaniard whom he had left there.
It appeared afterwards, from the information to Mr. John Atm-
Mater, jun., who was of those left on the small Key when Mr.
?Ankle quitted it on a log of wood which drifted with him to
Ragged Island, that himself and two Spaniards, after remaining
17 days on the small desert Key, were providentially relieved by
the Spanish brig Juan Maria alias Leon, Carlos Ribero, master,
from Malaga bound to Bavannah, at which last port Mr.
Armbrister was landed, after experiencing the greatest kindness
and the most humane attention. The Eleanor was chartered
by the Governor of Baracoa, I)on Louis Arua, to go to Nuevi.
tas for his niece, who had lately lost her husband there, and
sailed accordingly with four children ; but meeting with bad
weather, was, at her own desire, landed again with two of her
children, the other two, together with Bon Louis, were drowned
when the Manor bUllk.

STATE OF IRELAND--intelligence from all
quarters confirm the statement we formerly made
as to the returning, we might say indeed the re-
turned, tranquillity of the country. Letters, we
understand, have been received from the first au-
thorities, confirming the statement we have al-
ready made.--(Dublin Evening Post.)
SINGULAR LEGAL QUESTION.---All interesting
law-suit is at this moment carrying on at Paris.
The city had sold a house on condition of its be-
ing pulled down within a certain time, retaining
the property of the ground. The workmen em-
ployed in pulling it down found a treasure con-
cealed in one of the walls. The city now claims
this treasure, because it has never ceased to be
the proprietor of the ground ; while the pur-
chaser asserts his right, as the treasure Watnot
found below the surface, but in the wall bought
by him. The bricklayer, too, pretends that it
is his, because he found it; and as if this were
not enough, the administrators of the domains
come forward and affirm, that none of these three
parties have any title whatever. As the coins
discovered are ancient, and as the building be-
fore the Revolution belonged to convent, it, is
very likely that the whole will be declared the
property of the State. The Judges will find it
difficult to make peace between these four con-
tending powers.

A Philadelphia Paper relates the following
laughable occurrence :—A prisoner at the her at
the Mayor's Court in that city, being called on
to plead to an indictment for larceny, was told
by the Clerk to hold up his right hand. The
man immediately held up his left had ; " Hold
up your right hand," said the Clerk. " Plase
your honour," said the culprit, still keeping his
left hand up, " phase your honour, I am left-
handed."

About eleven o'clock on Monday night a young
man thet with a sudden death at Barthead. • A bailer for a
steam-engine, weighing about nine tons, was on the way to
Kilmarnock, and when passing Barrhead, one of the wheela
unfortunately came off, which brought down the end of the ear..
rime. The young man was stated on the tbre part of the ear_
riage, and just as ho had fallen to the ground,it came down
upon him, and crushed him to death on the spot. Ile belonged
to Bridge of Weir, was about 10 years of age, and was tut ap-
prentice to the engineer business.--((:laVOW Chronicle.)
On Saturday evening, between nine and tett
o'clock, an old woman of the name of Bailey, residing in
Faulkner's.court, Sc. George's-market, London-road, dropped
down in a fit in Union-street, in the Borough, whither she
had been to purchase her Sunday's dinner. she was
(timely conveyed Inane in a state of insensibility, where she ire..
'dandy expired.
Yesterday morning a short stout man, in a
round frock, attracted considerable notice at
Peckham Fair, by giving away to the crowd little
paper pill-boxes, which when opened were found
to contain neither pills Anti-bilious nor Ana-
leptic, but very neatly printed watch-papers
advising them to " return home
and read their
Bibles, rather than follow such evil Pastimes
which would Ultimately
consign them to the gal-
lows." As semi as he had disposed of his whole
stock he left the fair, but was again seen lit the
afternoon, distributing hand-bids of the same
pious tendency as the watch-papers.
