LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.—The accounts received from
bundrum Bay this morning are exceedingly meagre.
The weather still continued fine, and the ship remained
ill good trim. Confident hopes are entertained that she
may be got off with safety on the recurrence of the
,L4Pring-tide on the sth of next month though the ship
'laving gone ashore on the top of a high tide, the work
Will be one of difficulty. A steamer has left Belfast for
the scene of the disaster.

The passengers still continue to return to town ; the
Windsor, from Belfast, brought 60 to Liverpool this
Horning ; others have reached Fleetwood. The whole
leak in terms of the highest admiration alike of the
anip and her commander, and many express themselves
to the effect that were the ship now afloat, they would
again embark on board with complete trust in her capa-
bilities, and in the abilities of her chief officer. A rumour
has indeed reached us that the presentation of an address
of confidence is intended.

DEATH.—We regret to have to announce the death
of Captain Denham, brother-in-law to Mr. John Gully.
"de died onboard his ship, the Fultay Salaam, on the 7th
June last, from an attack of rheumatic fever. It will be
recollected that Captain Denham was the companion in
captivity of Mr. Gully's son, who was so atrociously
taurd,c,red by the Chinese.
" TIM BRONZE HORSE," A COMEDY FOR "MERRY
ENGLAND."—Why, the tout ensemble will have two
fronts ! Has anything in nature two fronts ? As well
might the crest on a helmet be put on sideways ; as well
!night the Duke be made to sit on one side of the horse,
the fashion of a brewer's drayman, as place him in
the manner intended. If it cannot be adjusted properly
it has no business on the site chosen at all. If your hat
Won't fit my head the right way, I shall look a comical
gure by wearing it sideways. The Duke will look, not
as if he ivid mounted an honourable eminence, and in
that position presented his proud front to all corners ;
but rather as if he had been elevated into an unmerited
Position of distinction, and so, like a modest man, was
meditating a leap on one side or the other to escape from
It —The Builder.
FRIGHTFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon, as
a man named Patrick Crenan, who resided at 4, Wind-
rain-street, New-cut, was ascending a ladder in Hatfield-

There was clear, and the stars spangled with great bril-
liancy. The wind was from the north-east, but calm,
