With respect to the disasters experienced at sea
during Sunday night, we regret to have to notice the entire
wreck of a vessel called the Mary Isabella, of and from
Whitehaven, on her passage from the latter place to Port
Carlisle, laden with a cargo of goods for several individuals
in this city. Her crew consisted of two individuals, the cap-
tain, named James Scott, who was also the owner of the ves-
sel, and his son-in-law; they both perished. The vessel ap-
pears to have reached some way near Skinburness in the
course of Sunday evening, and to have been driven out to
sea by the violence of the storm, at that time raging with the
greatest fury ; she drifted about during the night, in the midst
of a very heavy sea, which broke over her every minute, and
in the morning she was found a total wreck, drifting near the
south of the river Waver. The captain had fastened himself
to the mast, but was soon afterwards seen to be washed off.
His body has since come on shore, but that of his son-in-law
has not been found.—Carlisle Journal.

NEW MILITARY CLUB-HOUSE.-4 building is
now considerably advanced at the west corner of Bury-street,
Jermyn-street, St. James's, on which five houses, recently
thrown down, lately stood. It is in part intended for a military
club-house for the officers of the Guards, their present club-
house adjoining Crockford's not being considered sufficiently
commodious and large.. The new building is to include a
handsome riding-house, and the whole of the plan partakes
of much novelty. The new building is remarkably substantial
—the walls are bound by thick beams of wood, and the floors
are supported by diagonal rafters capable of bearing great
weight.
GENEVA.—On the 24th ult. the statue of Jean
Jacques Rousseau was opened to the public with great cere-
mony. It is placed on the Ile des Barques, near the spot
where the Rhone issues from Lake Leman, whence it is visible
from a great distance. It is by Pradier, in bronze, and seven
feet in height.

THE MALT lAx.---On Thursday a highly re-
spectable meeting was held at Brown's Coffee-house, Palace-
yard, Westminster, for the purpose of adopting measures to
support the Marquis of Chandos's motion for the repeal of
this duty. In consequence of the rather thin attendance of
the meeting, it was determined to hold forthwith another
meeting, and all present concurred in the necessity for imme-
diate and active exertion. After some desultory conversation,
the meeting adjourned for the present.
Loss OF THREE LIVES.—On Tuesday, while
the wind was blowing a heavy gale, a canal boat, Hodges
master, which was being towed up
.the river by a steamer, was
upset near Gloucester, and sank in deep water. Hodges,
another man, and a child were saved by the exertions of the
steamer's crew, but Hodges' wife and two daughters were
drowned. The boat has not yet been got up, and the bodies
of the deceased females are supposed to be still in the
cabin.

Yesterday morning a labouring man, named Henry
Potter, was blown from a ladder in Bond-street, as he was re-
moving some illumination lamps from the front of a house, and
he fell upon the iron railings. Three of the spikes entered
his thigh, and he was literally impaled. He was lifted off
and carried to the hospital in a deplorable condition.
THE REV. H. DA L TON.—We are informed that
this gentleman resigned his preferment at Bridgnorth on
Thursday last. It is said his talents will in future be exerted
towards promulgating the doctrines of the late Rev. E. Irving,
and that for this purpose he will have the charge of a district
comprising the towns of Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and
`Walsall.— Wolverhampton Chronicle.
