The Earl of LI vERPoor. remains in a very
distressing state. He constantly resides at Coombe Wood.
His Lordship does not see any visitors ; he walks out nem-
sionall:f in his grounds with an attendant. He has reco-
vered in some degree the use of his limbs, but he is not
able to write. His Lordship has not recovered his speech,
and it is with much difficulty he can make himself under-
stood. The Earl has a good appetite, and takes a few
glasses of wine with his dinner. Sir liEsnr 1-(ALion.n
has lately attended his Lordship.-21.forning Herald.

DULL TRADE.—Though trade is very good
in the commercial districts, it is very dull in this city.
The dealers in fine and fancy fruits, in particular, complain
that they are not doing a tenth part of the business they
did at this time last year.—Scotsman.

MATRIMONY.—A great portion of the
wretchedness which has often embittered married life, I am
persuaded, has originated in the negligence of trifles. Con-
nubial happiness is a thing of too fine a texture to be
handled roughly. It is a sensitive plant, which will not
even bear the touch of unkindness ; a delicate flower, which
indifference will chill, and suspicion blast. It must be
watered with showers of tender affection ; expanded with
the glow of attention, and guarded by the impregnable
barrier of unshaken confidence. Thus matured, it blooms
with fragrance in every season of life, and sweetens even
the loneliness of declining years.—Scotsmax.

SHIPWRECK.—On Wednesday night and
Thursday morning, there was a violent gale of wind from
the south-cast, accompanied with heavy rain ; and we re-
gret to state, that about two o'clock on the above men-
tioned morning, the brigantine George, of Bideford,
RICHARDS, master, from Bristol, in running for Swansea
harbour, mistook a light on shore for the one on the
pier, previous to the latter being exhibited ; and before
those on board discovered their perilous situation, the
vessel struck. The gale still continuing to increase,
and the sea running very high, the crew were obliged
to take to the rigging, where they remained above two
hours, with the sea breaking over them. No assist-
ance could be afforded the poor fellows until the tide
ebbed, when they were relieved in a very exhausted .
state. The vessel is unfortunately wrecked, but hopes
are entertained that the materials will be saved. It is
with pain we are compelled to notice a disgraceful scene
which ensued ; seven or eight fellows (we will not deno-
minate them seamen), who had offered their assistance to
save the materials and other property, contrived to get into
their possession a jar of whiskey, of which they drank so
freely, as to be totally incapable of rendering the least as-
sistance, and two of them were in such a shocking state of
drunkenness, that they were obliged to be hauled up from
the hold by ropes. In this beastly state they were carried
on ladders to their respective homes, where they became so
alarmingly ill, that medical advice was deemed necessary,
and to save the fellows' lives, the gentlemen who attended
were obliged to eject the liquor they had drank by means
of the stomach pump.—Carmarthen Journal.
WICK, FEB. 23.—The brig St. Nichothy, of
and from St. Petersburgh, —, Commander, loaded with
deals, iron, and hemp, for Liverpool, got embayed in Sin-
clair's Bay, about three miles north of Wick, on Thursday
evening, wind S.E. blowing a heavy gale. The master
wisely brought her up by anchoring ere she came in con-
tact with the breakers, where she rode until yesterday morn-
, iag about nine o'clock, when, in consequence of the in-
creased gale and heavy sea, she parted from her moorings,
and struck a considerable distance from the shore. A
short time after her masts went over her side. Every
effort to effect a communication betwixt the vessel and the
shore, tin. the preservation of the crew, proved fruitless,
and all hope of their safety was blasted. They continued
in this perilous situation till about half-past three in the
afternoon, when the vessel broke up, and the crew, con-
sisting of twelve persons, were saved as by a. miracle.
There were two boats brought to the spot by carts—one
of which was instantly manned by seven men, who, at the
imminent danger of their lives, fearlessly combated the
raging element, till they reached the wreck. This was
about an hour before her breaking up, when, to the
sad disappointment of all, it was found impossible to
come alongside, from the masts and rigging being attached
to the vessel's side. They were, however, fortunate enough
in saving one man who was precipitated overboard by the
rail giving way, against which he was standing. The boat
was compelled to return from the increased violence of the
waves. At this awful moment the quarter gave way. The
deck was seen rising several feet, and the last spark of
hope had fled from the remaining part of the crew, whose
affecting cries pierced the spectators to the heart, when
instantly the deck bursting up, allowed a quantity of
the planks to escape, upon which nine of the crew
committed themselves, and were all safely landed.—
The remaining two were soon after floated in upon the
remains of the deck, and taken off by the boat. It
would be doing injustice to conclude this statement
without mentioning the names of sotue of those in-
dividuals who distinguished themselves by their fear-
lessness of danger. Among those it was particularly
gratifying to observe the conduct of the Hon. GEORGE
DUNBAR, son of Lord Del-11;s, who repeatedly
hazarded
his own life for the laudable purpose of saving others. His
carts were upon the spot in readiness to carry away the
men as soon as they came ashore, to his castle at Ackergill.
Mr. JAMES BREMNER, ship-builder, the known and tried
friend of seamen in distress, shared the same danger in a
most conspicuous manner, along with several others. The
manly conduct of the boat's crew will be long remem-
bered by all who witnessed their persevering conduct, in
the face of such appalling danger. They consisted of
Captaia MaNsolf, formerly of the Marchioness of Wick,
who commanded the boat ; DAVID DURRAND, JOHN HEN-
DERSON, JAMES WKAT, HUGH BAIN, and JOHN LEITH.
