LOSS OF THE WILLIAM AND MARY.

FURTHER PARTICULARS, FROM A PRIVATE LETTER:

" BIUSTOL, OCT. 27.—1 have been this morn-
ing to the Packet-Office here, to make inquiries
on the subject of the melancholy loss of the Irish
packet, and have derived the following informa-
tion from the Agent himself :
" The passengers and crew were 52 or 53 in
number. The Captain remained by the vessel to
the last, although entreated to leave her, but he
waited till he saw Ler head go down, and then
threw himself into tbe water. He rigged the
pump, and continued working it as long as there
was the slightest hope of saving the vessel, which
accounts for a passenger, who was accustomed to
the sea, having taken the helm. There were 14
cabin passengers, eight of whom were females.
As letter has been received from Mr. Gilts, the
Roman Catholic Priest, mentioned as having been
drowned, and it is now supposed that Mr. Shortis
in his fright mistook hint for a Mr. Barrow.--A
Captain Briscoe, who was also stated to have been
drowned, was happily not on board at the time.
The body of one of the young Ladies who
lodged in Park-street has been picked up. The
Agents have been very prompt in sendingout vessels
to render assistance : one trunk has been saved.—
Lieut. Thebalier got on shore, hut I believe that
was mentioned before. Mr. J. Outridge, the
mate, is also saved. What I have now stated con-
tains the whole of the authentic intelligence yet
received. The persons saved were actually at first
refused relief at or near Cardiff, but were after-
wards very humanely treated."

Willing to give due encouragement to all li-
beral and rational opinions in The Morning Chro-
nicle whenever they appear, we extract the fol.
lowing passage from what it says this day in re-
lation to the revolt in Spanish America :
<, We are persuaded that the various Cabinets of this coun-
try during niauv •ears observed so scrupulous a forbearance
in that quarter from a sense of humanity, and a well founded
conviction of the many horrors which would necessarily at-
tend a revolution on that extensive Continent, nab: r than
from any doubt of the facility of accomplishing it, or of the
henefits•likely to result to (4reat Britain and the World hunt
its ultimate accouiptienneut.7

POETRY.

A LUDICROUS MISTAKE.
The BARROWS left by times of old,
A fact that hardly need be told,

A heap of bones contain ;
Among them oft are seen some skulls',
Perchance or Sagcs erst and Gulls",
Which levell'd now remain.

A SuitheorsT, diligent, acute,
'Of knowledge always in

To benefit inankind,
Had heard that, of our Sires of yore,
Ere SAXON tyrants sought our shore,
He many a skull aright find.

;tong ha's there stood an honoUr'd pl6ce;
In simple dignity and griice,
To guard our Naval Nllglit—
BRITAN:CIA'S glories to maintain,
tnsully'd on her siihject Main,
And Aw'!IIIALTY bight:

Hither our Surgeon bent his way,
For hee he heard tome people say.,
A BAtutow he mi;ht trice ;
The SECRETARY quickly eanie,
To learn and to promote his aini;

.Whom he told the 'case.
A laugh then clo.s',l the 'casual joke-,
As thus the SECRETARY spoke',

" My friend, you must allow
‘4 You find a IlAnnoW with a scut[.,
" And though the latter is but dull
" I cannot spare it NOW."

THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE:

CLAREMONT, Thesday, 'Four o'Clock, p. m.—The
weather was remarkably fine and clear this morn-ing till past eleven o'clock, When sonic clouds
appeared, and a shower followed, which delayed
the Princess CHARLOTTE in taking her 'usual ride
in her chaise so early as she intended. The wea-
ther, however, clearing up Soon after twelve', her
Royal Highness took her 'usual airing, and pro-
ceeded towards the farrn-yard, the pleasure-
grounds, &c. About halfHpast one the Princess
returned to the house, accompanied by Prince
Lnoooo3, having bt•en hastened to her return by
another shower. The rain continuing to fall dur-
ing the afternoon prevented his Serene Highness
from taking the diversion of shooting.
Tu6day, Nine o'Clock, p. tn.—This evening the
Princess CHARLOTTE received a visit front Lord
and Lady Asnattoor., as they passed by on their
way to London. Her Royal Highness continues
very well.
CL ARE MoNT, Tr'ednesicii Morning, Nine o'Clock.
—The report of the Princess Co ARLOTTE this
morning is, that her Royal Highness is very well.

CORN-EXCHANGE, OCT. 29.—We had no fresh
arrivals this morning, consequently the few sales
wile in E'ine Wheat and Oats. sold on full as
good terms as on Monday ; Fine Barley supportt
its price ; Grey Pease are in.demand, but Boiling
lease are dull; Rape Seed is rather clearer; in
other articles no alteration.

On Friday last, EAGLE WILLETT, Esq. Banker,
of Thetford, was sworn into the office of Mayor
of that Borough for the year ensuing. A turtle
dinner was af►erwards given to the Corporation,
at the Mayor's house, and a ball in the,evening,
at the Guildhall, to the town and neighbourhood.
The Surrey Theatre, atter a very • successful
season, arising from the spirit and judgment of the
management, concluded last night. An appro-
priate Address, written by Mr. T. DIBDIN, Was
spoken on the occasion, and the Perfor►ners and
Artists were treated with a supper, which closed
the season With hilarity.
We have the pleasure of informing our towns-
men, that his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT
has been graciously pleased, by a commu►►ication
from -Lord SIDMOUTH, Secretary of Sta;e for the
Home Department, to express his approbation of
the plan and objects of the Liverpool Invitution,
and to grant his permission that it may hence-
forth be denominated THE LIVERPOOL ROYAL
INSTITUTION.—(LiverpooI Advertiser, Oct. 17.)
A private letter from France states, that the
Prussian, Frederick, was tried for the murder of
Mr. PHILLIPS, at Abbeville, on Monday last.
He was convicted and sentenced to have both, his
hands cut off, and these healed, to he afterwards
executed. He has confessed two othci murders,
and appears to have been one of the most cool,
sanguinary villains that ever existed. Mrs. PHIL-
LIPS remai►ts at Brighton in a state of .delirium ;
and it is an extraordinary tact, that though the
assasination of her husband has been concealed
from her, and only his death announced, she has
exclaimed that she knew he was murdered, and
saw and could describe his murderer ! .Frederick
bad been employed by Mr. PHILLIPS for several
years, and•was acquainted with what property he
had with him. The relatives of the unfortunate
Englishman have been desirous of bringing his
corpse to this country for interment, but expe-
rience some difficulty in procuring permission for
its exhumation.

NEW COLLEGE IN WALes.—The expences of a
college education are become so serious, that few
natives of the principality of North Wales are now
educated for the Ministry ; the consequence of
which has been an alarming den, iency of clergy
to fill the vacancies which occur in the several
dioceses of Bangor and St. Asaph. 'fo remedy
this defect, a plan for erecting' a co!lege at Ban-
gor, for the purpose of qualitying Englishmen for
Welsh preferment, has received the sanction of
the Bishops of Bangor, St. Asaph, and Chester.
The principle upon which it is to he conducted is
a very novel one, anti several experiments found-
ed upon it ,have been made to show the extreme
facility with which the pronunciation of the
IVelsh language can bc acquired in the compass of
a tew days. The following gentlemen have been
appointed a Committee; to mature the plan of the
Institution :—The Very Rev. time Dean of Ban-
tor ; the IZev. Mr .I,,nes, Archdeacon of Maio-
neth the Rev. J. H. Cottons LL.D., &c.
