In addition to the particulars previously given respecting
the melancholy loss of the above vessel, the following extract
of a letter from Lloyd's agent at Gibraltar will be in-
t erecting _ _

" It appears there has been a dreadful sacrifice of lives;
and amongst the drowned are the new French Consul for
Mogadore, two passengers, and all the officers except one
midshipman; seventy-seven in all. Many were, however,
saved by the laudable zeal of Mr. Alexander Redman, acting
British Vice-Consul at 3lazagran, under whom the Moors
acted in a praiseworthy and humane manner."
TOTAL LOSS OF THE ENGLISH SCHOONER

Mr. HAninvlCK said, that much credit was due to Mr.
Wallace for the steps he had taken in bringing this cage
forward.
The prisoners were remanded until to-morrow.

CLERKEN WELL.-(T (US DAY.)
William Jones was charged with, burglary.
It appeared from the e'..tuence that the prisoner en-
tered a house at '.:ne rear of that of Mr. Richbell, of
Brook-stree;., bn the previous night, and stole therefrom
nTanner of fowls, which he was found in possession_ of,
In Leather-lane, by police constable Porter, 10 G, at
two o'clock this morning. The prisoner begged "to be
let go," for God's sake. The house whence the fowls
Were stolen is likewise a dwelling. The inmates were
not at all disturbed by the thief.—Committed for trial.

LOSS OF AN EAST INDIANIAN.
LEWES, MONDAY.—From the letters received here
this morning, it appears that there has been a dreadful
storm along the south-east coast: On Saturday night,
the 27th inst., the gale in3reased to a perfect hurricane,
and several vessels were damaged, doubling Beachy
head. About one o'clock on Sunday morning a large
Dutch East Indiaman, name unknown, came on shore
on the coast of Pevensey, a little to the north-east of
the Head, the wind blowing tremendously, and the sea
running mountains high ; eighteen of the crew, out of
thirty-two or thirty-three on board, succeeded in land-
ing in safety in their own boat, and it appeared from
their statement that the ship was hound from Batavia
to Amsterdam, laden with a valuable cargo of coffee,
sugar, and indigo. The greatest apprehensions were
entertained for the safety of the captain of the vessel,
who, steady to the trust reposed in him, remained
on board with the mate and twelve or thirteen of
the crew ; but it was not until Sunday forenoon that
any assistance could be afforded them. Their situa-
tinn during that dreadful night, on such a shore, with
n gale from the S.S.W., and a sea continually break
ing over their ill-fated vessel, was truly awful. In
the forenoon of Sunday, however, a small pleasure-boat,
belonging to Pevensey, named the Rebecca, manned by
two pilots, named Pierce and Wood, and three of the
Coast Guard, named Oliver,Warnell, and Fleming, put
off to the assistance of the crew of the East Indiaman,
and succeeded in reaching her. From the violence of the
sale, however, and the sea continually breaking over
the wreck, they were unable to effect their purpose of
bringing off the captain and the remainder of the crew ;
but, with determined perseverance, they laid by, watch-
ing for a favourable opportunity. This, however, did
not speedily occur, and about eleven the life-boat from
Eastbourne went to assist her. After a considerable
delay the remainder of the crew, with the master, were
taken on board the boat, with the exception of one pour
fellow, who was lashed to the rigging, and whom it was
intpossible to save. It is some consolation to believe,
from the appearance of the man, and the position of his
limbs, that he was dead when the life-boat reached the
Vessel. Having been landed in safety, it is gratifying
to state that the poor fellows were supplied with every
necessary by two of the railway contractors on the Lewes
emd Hastings line ; the officers and men at the Coast
Guard station also rendering every assistance.

ST. LEONARD, SHOREDITCH, VESTRT.—On Tuesday
tternoon a meeting of the inhabitant householders was held
7.t the vestry, to make a poor's rate for the current quarter,
711 d als to make a church-yard rate. Mr. J. Bewley, senior
'aUrchwarden, who presided, explained the objects of the
meeting. Mr. Ware, the vestry clerk, then proceeded to
Tad over the estimates, amongst which was one of 1,950/.
r, defray the expense of enlarging the workhouse. Upon
`giB item a long and animated discussion took place. After
4°, ine discussion one of the trustee party proposed that the
Ytstry do now adjourn, which motion was seconded amidst
l'ehetnent execrations from the ratepayers. The Church-
warden called for a poll on the question of the adjournment,
Which was carried under a protest, and the vestry dispersed,
aeveral of the parishioners declaring that they would appeal
Against any rate made by the trustees.
INTREPID CONDUCT OF A FRENCH GENTLEMAN.—
DESPERATEYesterday
ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE IN ST. JAMES'S 13.AnK.—
afternoon, about four o'clock, a respectably-dressed
female
apparently about thirty-eight years of age, leaped
into the ornament,l water in the enclosure, immediately
acing the Horse Gunrds. Au alarm was raised by several
rsons who witnessed the occurrence, and 0.-,e of them, a
"inch gentleman, divested himself of his coat, and dived in
;titer her ; in a moment afterwards he appeared at the surface
of the water with the female in his arms. Both were evi-
dently in an exhausted state, and by this time a large Timm-
er of persons were collected, and, with some difficulty, they
Were brought ashore. The female, who was quite insensible,
Zits conveyed with the greatest promptitude by the park-
eepers to Westminster Hospital. Some hopes are enter-
tained of her recovery. The gentleman was taken home
Ina cab.
THE BOARD OF TRADE AND THE POTATO FAILURE.
The Board of Trade is at present collecting information re-
-5 tive to the potatoes, so far as that is known in the port of
I•ondon. Some of the merchants think the Government is
,_thereby preparing to justify itself before P
Others think arliament in not,
',rem abolition of the corn-law. not,
',rem the limited and partial nature of the inquiry. It seems
to be confined, in most part, to persons not particularly well
acquainted with the subject. On Friday the Board selected
acme of the fruit-meters for examination. They are also
imeters of potatoes, and as such may know how many
'lave arrived by sea in the port of London. Whether
Any other persons connected with the potato trade
are to be examined, does not yet appear. But
those who could best give evidence as to the quantity now in
existence, which is the question at issue, are the agents of
the London dealers, who go into the country amongst the
farmers to buy, or the farmers who grow them. On Friday,
While a messenger from the Board of Trade was waiting at
one of the wharfs to conduct the meters to Westminster to
be examined, the said meters were running from one dealer
to another, from one agent to another, and from one
Goole captain to another, and among the York-
Shire sailors, to inform themselves of what the probable
state of the potato crop in Yorkshire is. This was proper
conduct on their part, as it showed they were not willing to
Speak of the potatoes actually in existence from what
had passed through their hands for measurement ; but it
also showed that they are not the persons best acquainted

With the subject.
THE PRINCE CONSORT'S HARRIERS.— Major
general Wemyss and a large field were at the meet of the
Prince Consort's harriers yesterday, which took place on the
farm of Mr. Edward Mason, at Slough. A couple of hares
Were put on foot, and afforded excellent runs. The first
hare, which was found on Mr. Mason's land, took away in
the direction of the Great Western Railway, on to Salt-hill,
Where it doubled round to the seat of Granville Penn, Esq.,
and was killed at Stoke Park Lodge, after a very fast fifteen
Minutes' run. The pack was then taken to Clialvey-fiel..s.
Where the second hare was sound on a piece of fallow land,
snaking away t.-wards Willow Brook and Eton, over Chal-
'eey. ditch, and on to Eton Wick ; thence it doubled to the
right to Cipp nham and Dorney, on t. Mr. Pocock's farm,
near the Maidenhead station, where it circled back to Dor-
ney, and was kill d on Mr. Tru.nper's farm, after a gallant
run of nearly three-quarters of an hour. It is expected,
should the weather be fine, that the Prince Consort will hunt
With his Royal Highness's harriers to morrow.
It is expected that most of the Cabinet Ministers
Will return to townein a few days, for the purpose of attend-
ing the Court to be held at Windsor Castle on Saturday next,
that day having been appointed by her Majesty for receiving
the petition of the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London on
the subject of the corn-laws.
We learn, from private sources of information, that
the re-construction of the Cabinet has been the result of a
compromise between the Premier and those who were op-
Posed to his original proposition, which is understood to have
been sweeping and radical in the extreme. It is now said
that the project to be submitted to Parliament by Sir R.
Peel is, that wheat in future should be liable to a fixed duty
of twelve shillings a quarter, such duty to be decreased by
two shillings a quarter in each succeeding year ; so that at
the end of six rears it should be admitted free. This state-
rnent we submit to our readers just as it has reached our-
selves—observing that it comes from a source to which we
have been frequently indebted for early and authentic infor•
Ination.—Dublin Evening Mail.
TIIE LEAGUE FUND.—The amount of the fund up
to this date is 69,4001., and very considerable more is ex-
pected to be realised in Manchester. It is estimated that
the sum realised at the meeting was 5001. per minute.
The Earl of Mornington has taken the seat of Mr.
Scholey at Wanstead, Essex (not Oak Hall, as has been
stated). It is understood to be his Lordship's intention to
extend the park into a portion of his own woods adjoining,
and to preserve the covers. The Noble Earl owns most of
the manors in the neighbourhood, and is warden of the Epping
and Hainhault forests, in which the deer and timber have
been in a great measure destroyed and injured during the last
few years, want of proper care.
ELGIN CATTLE MARKET.—At this market, on the
17th inst., there was but a small show of cattle. There was
4 number of fat cows in market, which sold brrskly at from
71• to according to sire. There were only a very few
lots of other tattle sown. Mr. Cruickshank, Granary, sold
ala of two year-old Highlanders at 8/. a-head. There was
4fair supply of horses, and a few sales made—prices high.—
