THE LATE GALES IN IRELAND.

On Friday and Saturday last we were visited by very
severe gales of wind blowing from S.S.E. to S.S.W.,
during which the shipping along the coast has suffered
severely, and several lives have, wo regret to say, been
lost. On Saturday morning the mail steamer Thetis,
which made her passage good during the late tremendous
gale, on the night of Tuesday the sth, and morning of
Wednesday the 6th of February, did not arrive here on
Saturday morning till half-past 8 o'clock, being five
hours beyond her usual time. The Firefly, from Ar-
drossan, and the Princess Alice, from Fleetwood, arrived
about the same time. The steamers Athlone and Wil-
liam Penn, which sailed hence on Friday night for Liver-
pool, put back on Saturday. The Athlone bore up off
the Calf of Man. The Windsor, which should have
sailed on Saturday evening, did not leave till Sunday
morning, when she, the William Penn, and Athlone,
proceeded same tide for Liverpool. The Lyra steamer,
which left Greenock on Saturday evening, at 7 o'clock,
with the mails, arrived next morning at a quarter past 5,
being about three hours beyond her usual time. Tho
Prince of Wales, which left hero on Friday evening, and
for whose safety great fears were entertained, encountered
the gale, and arrived safe in Fleetwood on Saturday
afternoon. The Blenheim arrived here on Sunday, from
Liverpool, the storm being still very severe, at a quarter
past 1 P.M. On her passage off thu Mew Island, near
Donaghader, she passed a quantity of wreck, which was
proved to be part of the cargo of the barque Teresa
Jane, Wright master, of and from Liverpool, with
general cargo, which went on shore on the Mew rocks on
Saturday night, at 11 o'clock, and has become a total
wreck. Same of the cargo (calicoes) has been saved
and landed at Groomsport. In this cise of shipwreck,
we aro sorry to say that before the vessel went ashore
the master and six of the crew were washed overboard,
and drowned. The bull° Burrell, of Lancaster, Wil-
liam Foster master, went ashore on the rocks at Coney
Island Bay, near Ardglass, on Friday night. The
schooner Peggy, of Portgordon, Reid
,master, from Liver.
pool to Aberdeen, loaded with salt, was driven en shore
in Cloughey-bay, on Friday morning. She has received
little damage; but her cargo will have to be discharged
before she can be got off. A small vessel was driven on
shore on the North Rock, on Friday, the 29th ult., all
hands lost. Her name is not known; but she is sup-
posed to be a Manx schooner, laden with salt, for Bel-
fast. The brig Spartan, Rorge master, from Liverpool
to the Mediterranean, has put into this lough, leaky.
The schooner Preston, Wilson, master, of Belfast, from
Dundalk to Llanelly, was wrecked on Saturday on the
Cammon Rock, and, lamentable to state, not a single
soul of those composing the crew was saved.—Korthern

REQUISITION TO SIR E. N. BUXTON, BART., M.II.
—A requisition has been got up by the advocates of Protec-
tion, and is in course of signature by the electors in South
Essex, calling upon Sir Edward North Buxton, one of the
Members for the Division, to resign his seat and make room
for a gentleman who will uphold the principle of Protection
in the Legislature. The requisition states that the parties
view with the utmost alarm the distress of the cultivators
of the soil and the depression of trade ; and convinced that
ruin must result from free-trade in corn, they are anxious
to obtain a Parliament that shall represent the general feel-
ing of the country. With this view addresses have been
presented to her Majesty, praying for a dissolution, but these
have been unheeded; and they add," Under these circum-
stances, we are obliged to scrutinise the conduct of indivi-
dual Members of the House of Commons, and finding that
all your votes have been recorded in favour of free trade,
and against all remedial means of relief, we are reluctantly
compelled w request that you will forthwith give us an op-
portunity of electing, in your place, some gentleman who
in a British Legislature will advocate protection to British
industry."—Esees Herald.

OXIDE or ZINC.—A communication has been
made to the Customs' authorities by the Secretary to the
Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, stating that
he has received the commands of their Lordships to transmit
to them for their information a communication from the
Board of Trade on a memorial, praying that a material deno-
minated grey oxide of zinc may
be henceforth imported into
the United Kingdom without payment of duty, and that he
was directed to state that their Lordships of the Treasury at
present concur with the Lords of the Committee of Privy
Council for Trade in considering that the article in question
should be admitted free of duty. It was, however, the wish
of their Lordships, that it should be understood by the Com-
missioners, that if it should appear to them that there is any
substantial difference or distinction between white oxide of
zinc {which is already by Treasury order admissible free of
duty) and grey oxide of zinc, their Lordships would be
ti:orme
pared, upon being furnished with adequate information.

A CLERGYMAN HIS OWN CHURCHWARDEN.— At the
usual meeting for the election of a churchwarden for the
parish of St.
',
in the city of Durham, on Easter Tees-
day, the
cis Thompson, incumbent, nominated and
el
his own churchwarden, stating that, as he
had Rev. Giles'

other as an amendment. The parishioners insisted on elect-
ing both, if the chairman refused to appoint a parishioner as
usual. The chairman stated that he would only return him-
self and a Mr. Joseph Dawson, who had the majority of
votes, at the next visitation as elected. A scene of confusion
ensued, and the parishioners then left the vestry in a body,
declaring that such conduct of the chairman was tantamount
to shutting the doors of the church.
TIIE LANCASHIRE ESTATES OF THE EARL OZ'
DERIIY.—The Right lion. the Earl of Derby is now engaged
in draining nearly the whole of his extensive estates in the
townships of Halewood, Eccleston, Knowsley, Bickerstaff,
and other places. We believe his Lordship is determined to
complete the task in a thorough and workmanlike manner.
which will be a lasting and permanent improvement, and
ultimately return twenty-fold to his numerous tenantry.
There are a great number of labourers now engaged in the
good work.—Liverpool
A BLACK RAINBOW.—We learn from Messrs.
Hatch, Gray, and Co.'s Reporter, that a a black rainbow
wag
discovered one evening, about eight o'clock, by the goodtl
people of New Bedford. Its direction was from the nortes•
west to the south-cast, and it lased about twenty min u.
It was very perfect, and of greats size.—Boston Trqnserilo
