" We are sorry to have to state the loss of the Hon. Com-
pany's transport ship Lotus, Captain Charles Brown, R.N.,
from Rangoon, upon the Sagur-sand, at the mouth of the
Hoogly. It seems the Lotus reached the Sandheads, and took
the pilot, Mr. Dunden, on board, on the 22d inst. The came
'evening, about sunset, the vessel was abreast the reef buoy ;
she ran about two hours more, when the pilot fancied himself
about the spit baoy, and anchored. Shortly after, the vessel
appeared to be driving, when more cable was given her, and
about midnight she struck, the small bower had been let go,
and on heaving up the best bower, the shank was found to be
broken. The pilot then endeavoured to get the head-sails on
the ship, to pay her off, cutting away the small bower; but the
rudder being gone, and the ship still striking, it was without
effect. She continued to drive, with her head to the eastward,
across the Sagur Sand, till the forenoon of the 23d, when she
fixed herself, and went over on her broadside. The boats were
got out, and anchored a little distance from the ship. During
the night, the cutter anti the long-boat broke adrift. The
former, with two Europeans and eight seamen, has reached
Calcutta; the latter, with 13 people, made her way in safety
to Diamond llarbour. Nothing further is yet known of the
fate of the commander and the rest of the crew and passengers.
Forty of the body-guard, and the crew of the late transport ship
Satellite, were on board the Lotus, together with several offi-
cers returning from Rangoon, whose mimes, for the present, we
withhold, in the hope that we shall 50011 have the pleasure to
announce their safety.

" We waited till the latest hour last evening, in the hope, of
being able to relate some gratifying particulars as to the safety
of the crew and passengers ; all we can learn is, that out of 103
soulti on board, only 44 have been saved in the three boats be-
longing to the ship. The Sea was so high, that many perished
in attempting to reach the boats.
" The following is a coppy of the attested statement taken
from the men who first came up from the Lotus, in the cutter.
The long-boat brought three Europeans, and eight natives,
making in all, 21 saved, and it is possible that more may yet
cast up.
" On board the Cutter.—Gales Winbold, 2d officer ; Wil-
liam Biggs, boatswain's mate; John Scott and Illoses Mac-
queen, seamen ; David Griffiths and Robert Bean, apprentices;
Johri Madolor and ---.. Alyre, gunners, Portuguese, passen-
gers ; Torn, Topes ; and one Lmar.
" The long-boat has about ten hands on board, two supposed
to be Europeans, but could not distinguish.
c, ()a the 22d in the morning, Mr. Dunden, pilot, went on
board the Lotus, in Balasore-roads, blowing lightly ; carried
royals till near dusk, when they made the reef buoy; then
freshening, kept running up channel till about eight p. tn.,
when they had some heavy squalls; brought up about 3 miles
• to the northward of the spit buoy, and held—when the round-
ing was in the hawse hole, it was thought she was drifting--
veered away 50 fathom cable—blowing fresh and still drifting—
. let go the lerbourd anchor, which did not take the ground, and
. in a few minutest she was bumping hard on a-sand-bank—hove
'up the starboard anchor, and found the flukes' gone—the lar-
board anchor still held, till by the pilot's order sail was made
—hoisted the forctopsail, foresail jib, and foretopmast staysail
cut the larboard cable--hut it was found that the rudder had
been knocked off while on the sand, and she would not pay-off
—let go the stream anchor, which held till midnight and parted
—still blowing hard, with severe squalls.
" The men suppose she must have drifted all the time, from
the distance they, found themselves in the morning from the spit
buoy. Soon after midnight she went bodily on shore on a bank,
and at dawn, the 23d of July, saw Edmonston's laland,bearing
west-north-west, distant about six miles. When she settled in
the sand, a tremendous sea was running, breaking over her in
every direction, and two feet water on the gun deck; at day-
light hoisted out the longboat, cutter, and jolly boatthe gig
'washed out of her slings; 13 men, 10 of whom arc here now,
were lowered down in these boats, and were sent to windward,
to keep clear of the wreck and breakers to leeward; all three
• rode at ss•grapoell.while those on board cut away the misen,main,
and formasts ; a signal was made for the
:cutter, which could
not approach the wreck for the sea, which was making a breach
over Iter. About 5 p.m. they got all (15 hands) into the long
I
boat to attempt to reach her again, but with no better success;
Nevelt' men then got into the cutter and made the ship, hut the
approach was so dangerous that those who were bold enough
, had to jump from the gang-way, and take the chance of being
picked up; one man was cut in two, while attempting this,
and Biggs had two of his fingers jammed in this manner.—
With witat had get into the boats in the morning, 20 hands
were saved. They were then obliged jo leave the wreck to
overtake the jolly-boat and the long-boat, which were observed
drifting; it was then blowing a complete gale, and before the
people had got into the long-boat, they were among; the breakers,
were soon carried over the bank ; and in smooth water, at four
a. m. 24th July, were driven on shore on a bank, which, from
the strength of the gale and the darkness of the night, they
• could not perceive till they were fairly on it. At six a. m.
Edmonstone's Island bearing 'W. anti by W., the wreck S.W.
' and by W. distant five or six miles, again attempted to get off
to the wreck by palling along the inner edge of the bank on
which site lay, bnt could not,in consequence of the breakers;
here they found the long-boat with (they think) two Euro-
peans
and eight natives; they got near enough to observe that
the vessel was on her beans elide to leeward, the waves making
a complete breach over her, and she appeared to have broken
Channelwartl , n
in two about the centre; not a soul was observed in her, and the
parties now here have not .a • doubt but every one they left
Perished. They found it useless remaining near the wreck,
and started for Calcutta ; the long-boat being much to wind-
ward,

CORONER'S INQUEST.

The Duke of NouvoLK has returned the fol-
lowing answer to the invitation made to him to
take the chair at the meeting on the ilOth inst.—

MOCKING ACCIDENT.

ti
Last 'Oak an. adjourned Inquest was held at
the White Nurse, at" Knightsbridge, before Mr. Moos, the
Deputy. Coroner for Westminetee; and a respectable Jury, on
view of the body of a fine youth, named John Hilton, aged 17,
who was killed in the following ebocking muniner te... • - Williamllates, residing at the Platt, at Putney, stated, that
he knew the deceased, who was with himself in the employ of
Mr. Carpenter, a imilder, and were at work at a new house in
Kensington, hanging a window-sash about 45 feet high front the
yard, which was paved. About half-Net one o'clock in the day
they were.at work on the scaffold inside the house, the stairs
were not put up, the putiog of the scafthld gave way, sand the
deceased fell to the ground, together with-all the hoardings,_,.
Witness staved himself by clinging to the sill Of the window.
To a question from one of the Jury the witness said that the
putlog was not a regular one, but used merely on that occasion
as atwil.. How he got down froth' the Window he could not tell.
_On the deceased being picked up he was. insensible; he was
first carried to the Camden Arms, and there attended.by a sur-
goon,. and afterwards he was conveyed to St. George's Hospital.
The putlog wits 0 feet bearing, and both had been previously
working on it. There was another than, nathedllusSell, there,
bat he did not see the 'detested until he (Witness) called out
" Jack is killed," Witness did.not consider there :wee the lea et
danger to be apprehended: -The pitting brOke in the middle.
The only expression the deeeitied used was, " For ()hare sake
lay. me on something soft," and complained much of • his back.
Witness made the veitifillti himself,, and considered it quite
&Vim •
Juror—Did your meatr inspect the scaffold when you had.
made it ?
• Witness answered in the utHrniative..
The Coroner said the • aemg'man had evidently lost his life
from the want of necessary precaution.
„furore... Did the see!! WI With the deceased ?
Witness—No, but the boatelieee Oche scallidd did.
Juror—Did 'you see the dceec,Fe d larking or jumping about
upon the ecaffold ?
Witness answered in the negative : and to a question from
the Coroner, be said he bad always been on good 'terms with
the deceased. •
Juror..-Remember that you be more cautious in future bow
you' erect seaffbide—it, is highly requisite that some person
should inspect such erectitine.
- Mx, John Bowling, the house:surgeon at St. George's Hos-
pital, stated, that when the deceased was. brought into the
floepital. he examined him, and fotind an extensive injury of
the spinal marroW. lie seaS attended to, and every thing that
was proper was done the him, yet he lingered till 10 o'clock on
,ISionday wl:en he died. The fracture of thespine was
the cause of hie death.
Thomas Charlton, the porter of theibove Hospital, stated,
that he saw the deceased before the last:witness; he was brought
in a haekney-eitieb, and was carried into the Oxford Ward.
De had lost the use of his lower extremities. The deceased.
never-complained of any one having injured him.
. There being no further evidence to produce, the Jury ea-
preseed their opinion that the greatest neglect was apparent

Farnhein, Dec. 20, 1825.

" St it-1 beg you will assure the Catholics of Ireland, that I
highly prize the honour they have conferred Upon me, by in.
viting me to fill the chair, at the Meeting of the Catholic As-
sociation, on the.loth of January next. It Is with unfeigned
regret that 1 feel 'called upon to decline a station of such itii;ll
importance. Possessing no property, and being distinguished
by no title, connecting me locally with Ireland, I should can-
eider it a presumption to take the chair, which, in my opinion,
would be more suitably filled by an Irish Catholic Nobleman
of eminent private virtue, and long-tried worth.
" The Irish, Catholics will do me the justice to believe, that
I take the most lively interest in their weltare, and appreciate,
as I ought to appreciate, the value of the entire cordiality which
subsists between them and the English Catholics, hOund toge-
ther as we are by the same views, interests, and ditties, by a
common faith and common wrongs.

"The Irish Catholics will find me. In till seasons, the active
promoter of every measure calculated to relieve Ireland front
the disgraceful remnants of • a partial code, which has so
long oppressed and disfigur4 that fair portion m the' British
Empire, condemned to steriiity her fertile soil, and sunk in
abject misery her active, hardy, and fin,rhointio people. Tile
injurious efrecta brought upon the whore community, by the
unjust anti impolitic coercion of a portion of it,is noar clearly un-
derstood,and ram .fully convinced, the tht cannot he fir distant,
when the Catholics of Ireland will enjoy the protection and
happiness they deserve, under the mill administration of just
and equal laws. To you, Sir„, personally, and to AI r..
I return my sincere thanks, for the flattering expreision of your,
good opinion.---I have the honour to be, Sir, your faithful, obe-
dient and bumble servant,

" Secretary to the Catholics of Ireland."

The guardians of the night in the New-rood,
opposite A stley's A tophithentre, NVestminster Bridge, and
leading to the Waterloo Bridge-road, nre exceedingly negli-
gent in their duty. On Wednesday night, a Gentleman re.
turning to Westminster from the Surrey-road, after passing
the new houses erected nearly opposite Stuart's sawing-mills,
by the force of the wind had his hat carried over the paling into
a timber-yard, at least eight feet flom the top of the fence. He
immediately returned part of the way; and called on a worthy
friend who resides in one of the houses alluded to, and they,
sallied forth in search of a watchman, one' walking fins cha-
peau towards the Westminater.road; and the other in the con.
trary direction, for a considerable time, without gaining the
object of their search. Very fortunately for the hatless travel-
ler an elderir infirm gentlem"ni
accompanied by an honest
jack tar, passed him, and on inquiring into the "Circumstances,
observed,
. that John would ``scale the fort" and 'recover the
property.
The owner of the hat used his endeavours to pre-
vent vo hazardous an attempt, apprehensive that - there might
have beol, instead of . krra firma, one ,of those 'beautiful and
fragrant ditches ibr which Lantbcth is so remarkable, indepen,
dent of visiting a salutation frem the canine fraternity, and
conceived it by no tneansfair to subiest another, particularly a
stranger,- toa charge or 'trespass. Those who know the gene-
rous feelings of, our seamen will not wonder at. the context.
Honest John dropped from the paling; And shortly recovered
the hot property, which he as shortly restored !. We think that
the Commissioners of the roads, or the Trustees in the district
we have alluded to, should take proper measures that those
persons whose duty it is to protect the night traveller should be
more vigilant in their performance of it. It would have been
monstrous had the poor fellow,
in his good natured endeavour
to recover„an old hat, (and which might have happened), been
.
taken on the premises as a flier, when his object was so very
different--that of tato, iv property 11,1

A IIIONA litnN AND C 0.% r. COMP.& Meet•
lug of the Shareholders of this Company took place yesterday
at-the King's head, ?oultrv, convened by requisition, to take
him consideration a statement of the proceedings pending for
the recovciy of R sum of 15,00 W., with the opinions of Counsel
on that and other matters relating to the interests of the Corn.
sobjects.and zany, and as to the propriety of adopting further measures on
those on other special affairs. The explanation
given was deemed quite Natisfactory, and resolutions to that cf.
feet wqe.agraed to; after which the Meeting broke up.

Yesterday being the anniversary of what
,Is
called Twelfth Day, the domestics, their friends, and the
tradespeople of the Duke of Yonz, had their annual enter-
tainntent at the Royal Duke's house in South Audlei74treet.
