TOTAL WRECK OF THE PHOENIX OF GREENOCK,
AND ALL THE CREW LOST. —We regret to have to
announce the total wreck of the brig Phoenix, Captain
Kerr, a fine vessel, not more than 16 or 17 months old,
and the property of Messrs. James Hunter and Co., of
Greenock. She was bound from Bahia for the Clyde,
with a cargo of sugar, and had put into Cove of Cork
for orders. She left Cove on the 3d inst., but had not
proceeded far when it came on to blow a tremendous
gale from the S.S.W., accompanied with rain; and it is
presumed that the Phoenix was running back for the
harbour when she struck the rocks on the western shore,
outside the point which is opposite the lighthouse. The
vessel has gone entirely to pieces, and there is no trace
of her crew, from which it is conjectured that they must
all have perished. A piece of the stern, with the name
Phoenix on it, has been picked up, and a portion of ti.
cargo. The exact number of the crew is not yet known;
but they would likely be from 12 to 14 hands, and there
is only one of them who is known to have belonged to
Greenock. Captain Kery's wife died some time ago, and
he has left no family.—Daily Mail.
EXTRAORDINARY INVESTIGATION.—BIRMINGHAM.
—A very painful sensation has prevailed during the past
few days by the circulation of a report that a child only
eight years of age had murdered another by placing it
upon the fire. The following is a summary of the evi-
dence taken before the borough Coroner:— The name of
the deceased was Rosanna Morris, a weakly child, be-
tween twelve and thirteen fears of age. On Sunday, the
19th of last month, the deceased, her brother, and the
accused (a girl named Caroline Perry), were together in
the upper room of the house belonging to the deceased's
parents, when the attention of the inmates was attracted
by screams proceeding from the apartment. A young
woman ran up stairs arid found the clothing of the de-
ceased in flames. She put the fire out, but not before
the deceased was most frightfully burned. She vi as
taken to the General Infirmary, where she expired from
the effects of the injuries on Friday se'nnight. The
deceased gave the following account of the transaction,:
—She stated that she was dividing some sucks (swt at
meats), and was about dividing one for the accused, when
she swore at her, and said she would have the whole;
if not, she would burn deceased to ashes. The deceased
told her brother to go and call her mother up stairs but
the accused interposed ; having pulled the stool from
under deceased with one hand, she pushed her against
the bars of the grate with the other, and her clothing
speedily became one mass of flame. James Morris the
brother of the deceased, gave a precisely similar account
of the transaction. The jury returned a verdict, " That
deceased came by her death from having fallen into the
fire whilst engaged in a struggle with Caroline Perry.'
