SHIPWRECK OF THE BARQUE TYNE.
By an arrival from Sydney, New South Wales, yesterday,.
accounts have been received of the total loss of the barque
Tyne, Captain. Robertson, Cook's Straits, in August. last.
The following particulars are aka. NM-the-Wellington In-

lowing morning it.blew a gale, which increased m violence ;
and what with rain and fog, it was impossible to see-more -•
than a very limited distance round the vessel. At 5 raw.
land was seen on the lee bow, the vessel was
immediately put about, when the rocks were discerned, and
she almost immediately struck on the Rima Rifa Rocks, close
to Linelan Head. The main and wizen masts were cut
away, and with the sails that were set on the foremast she
was driven further on shore. In a very short time the affei- • '
cabins were under water, and the bulk-head destroyed. In
this state they remained till morning, the sea breaking over
the stern, and the vessel striking upon- the rocks. The gale,
continued raging with unabated fury. On Saturday morn-
ing, about 9, a.m., one of the seamen, who was an expert
swimmer, offered to endeavour to get to the shore with a
line, to establish a communication between-the shore and the
vessel. He reached the shore in safety, but the line became
entangled amongst the rocks, and he was obliged to leave it
without effecting the good he. intended. At about eleven
o'clock the third mate left the vessel, and reached the shore
in a very exhausted state, and must have perished but for the
humanity of Mr. Tutchings, of the Happy Valley Ohiro,
who with his son'attended upon the spot. The seaman, who
first landed, betook himself to a flax bush, where he secreted
himself. from fear of' being demolished by the natives,
and fell asleep, and was not discovered till Saturday
night, when . he was rejoiced to find a more
hearty welcome than he expected from the settlers,
who had arrived on the spot. Mr. Tutchings conveyed the
third mate to- his cottage in the Happy Valley, and then
made his way to Wellington, to announce the lamentable
catastrophe in the town. The consternation of the inhabi-
tants at hearing the which bad befallen the Tyne
was truly painful to Witness, for no

looking forward to the. Tyne as the first Vessel which would
bring them intelligence, consignments, amtpackages, from
those they had,left.behind. A meeting of; the merchants and
inhabitants was immediately held,. and a number orgentle-
men resolved to start at once for the wreck. .. At bolf•Past

and three companies of the foinfer, -and the whole of the
,company of the latter, were-shortly after on the road towards
Terrawitte. They arrived at the wreck at from about eight

pieces on the rocks, and the crew with difficulty saved by
those on shore. Other attempts to float a line proved success-
ful, by means of..which the crew, one by one, effected a safe
landing, and were received by hearty cheers from those on
shore. Immediately upon Captain Robertson setting foot on
land he returned thanks to the Almighty for the miraculous
preservation of himself and crew, and then received the
hearty congratiilations of his old friends. Captain Robertson
then made his way on horseback to Wellington.
The crew, consisting of nineteen hands and one passenger,
were saved. An apprentice had during the passage fallen
overboard, and was doused.
A portion of the cargo was saved, but the Thursday follow-
ing the Tyne went to pieces.

THE TBOEIRiT YPit
PEEL'SPOST.—We are now no longer in the dark. We are in possession
of the Minister's new eonfes‘lon of faith. Sir Robert Peel last night

declared, "It is impossible Mr nle to contend that protection to
native industry is right in principle." It is not necessary just now to
inquire by what process he arrived at this coßclusion ; he himself
ascribed it to his close attention to the working of the Tariff. But - -
the last remains, " native industry" is not right in principle, accord-
ing to Sir Robert Peel. At the time of the last general election the
thing was otherwise. Then " n stive industry" was considered worthY
of being protected; then the constituencies of the country returned Ment-
hers for the purpose of protecting it ; then agricultural repreeentatives
supported ,Sir Robert Peel, because, up to that moment, he had pro-
fessed himself friendly to domestic industry. These elements forniocS
a great combination that was irresistible. The constituencies remain
true ; Sir Robert Peel has deserted them of the Members elected in •
1841 some' have followed their leader, some are lukewarm or waver-
ing, and some are still faiththl. The pungent sarcasm, the cutting
irony, the powerful arguments of Mr. Disraeli—the manly indigna-
tion of Mr. Miley—were received with an enthusiasm that leaves on
full of hope for the future. It behoves the honest electoril of the
kingdom, then, to bear in mind, especially three things :—That Sir R.
Peel " finds it impossible to contend that ' protection to native industry'
is right in ' That there are still in the House of,Commons men.
who prove, .by - their present faithfulness, -that they may safely be
trusted in future. That upon the electors themselves rests the re-
sponsibility of seeking, and securing the return of such Members to a
new Parliament, as shall not only be willing, but able, to defend thet
cause of native industry against the assaults of Sir Robert Peel and.
tile League; and that it especially behoves the constituencies to hold, -
themselves in readiness, at a moment's warning, to petition the So-
vereign that the royal assent be not given to the Ministerial
measure of free trade until an appeal shall have beet/11119.de tO
coantry.
HERALD.--We are naturally under a great temptation to enter •
at once upon the question of the Ministerial intentions—to indulge
in surmises and inferences ; and to urge our ewn views of the best •
policy to be pursued. %But we restrain ourselves, from a sense of
what is due to the Government. Sir Robert Peel, although-he made
a lengthened speech, declared his "firm determination not- to anti-
cipate discussion," although he was aware that " what he had said
might give rise to some misconception." Until Tuesday the plans of
the Government must remain unknown. All that can yet be asserted
with safety then, is, that it is intended to make a considerable change in
the corn-laws. We regret this; we see no sufficient canoe for it.
With the Duke of Beaufort and the Marquis of Salisbury—staunch
supporters of the Government—we express our dissent without heal-
talon. Still, however, it would be absurd to heap blame upon the
Administration, until we know what kind of a change is to be pro-
posed. Certainly, the tenor of her Majesty's Speech gives no coun-
tenance to the idea of a rash or sweeping alteration. For four days,
than, let us suspend our judgment. When the proposition is fairly
before the country, we shall not be backward in dealing with it in a
tone and spirit consistent with our frequently recorded opinions on
the question.

TROTTING.—On Thursday the mat h for Mr. Seblock's
horse to trot seven miles and a half within half-an-hour from the
time of starting was decided at Brixton. The stakes were 201., and
the match was performed, in harness, in twenty-nine minutes.

We understand that preparations are in progress for
getting up a handsome dinner, next week, in commemoration of the
railway from Ashford to Canterbury being opened, on which occa-
sion the Mayor and magistrates, and other citizens, will meet the
Directors and friends of the South-Eastern Company.—Jantish Ob-
server. _ _

URESHA3I COLLEGE.—Yesterday nearly five hundred
persons attended to hear the first of a course of two lectures on law,
by Mr. Palmer. Afier waiting with some impatience till half-past
one, being half-an.hour after the proper period of commencement,
the beadle made his appearance, and stated that the Professor had
not arrivedoor had he received any communication from him.

We are authorised to state that there is no foundation
for the rumour which reeached England by the East Indian mail, to
the effect that a serious misunderstanding had arisen between Sir
Henry Ilardinge and Sir Hugh Gough. On the contrary, private in-
telligence of a later date than that contained in the Indian papers
warrants the belief that the most perfect union existed between the
Goveraor-General and the Commaader-in-Chief.---Times.

CHATHAM, JAN. 22.-"—This morning the right wing of

THE BISHOP OF CASHEL, DR. DALT.—We
have been informed, through a respectable agent, that the
letter which we published lately, as being written at the
Bilton Hotel, Dublin, was not written by Dr. Daly. The
letter came through the Post-office to us, and appeared au-
thentic and scholarlike, and we had not the slightest doubt
of it. Our original statement, therefore, stands uncontra-
dieted.— Waterford Cht'oxicle.
According to the register of the' observations made
at the Royal Observatory of Paris during the last month, it
' appears that the lowest degree of temperature was seven be-
low zero of the Centigrade scale (18% Fahrenheit), which
happened on the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 28th, and that the
highest degree was 11 8-10 above zero C. (53 F.) During 26
days the wind was from the west. The weather, conse-
quently,.was unusually mild throughout the month.
" PEPPER, AND 'THAT SORT OF TRING."—We read

in the ,paper,s ihat, at the time the Duke of Norfolk made his
dreadful lapsus about the curry, the Duke of Richmond said
his feeling was such, that "he wished the earth would open
and bide him." The Mike of Richmond has not been alto-
gether disappointed ; for, in consequence of his ducal displays
at several protection meetings, the press has since opened ~ T
upon him, and given him the hidiitg he so particularlY-
wanted.—Punch.
