COWES, J. 25.--The cutter Amulet, built a few years
back by Mr. Joseph White, of East Cowes, for Mr. John
Meiklam, of the R. Y. S., but since disposed of by him to one
of the Western Clubs, was yesterday. hauled up in Mr. White's

schooner Menai, are fast progressing at Mr. White's yard; the
lymer vessel has had new wales, and the whole of her bottom
which Is clenker-built) has been filled up with sheathing
plank, for the purpose of preventing the rustling noise of the
water Which such kind of emelt are subject to when ,under

TWO SUPPLEMENTS GRATIS,
WITH THE "DISPATCH:' k
GREAT NATIONAL TRIAL AT DUBLIN.
The immense size of THE WEEKLY DISPATCH lme;
hitherto, enabled its Proprietors on all occasions to present a
copious, and, at the same time, interesting account of the events
of each week. It is, however, now found utterly impossible to
give anything like a faithful report of the Trial of Mr. O'Con.
nell and his repeal associates, without excluding • great mass of
interesting domestic and foreign intelligence; the Proprietors*
tkerefore, feel that their journal, which has been for years, aid
is new, honoured with more patronage than any other in ex- ‘,,
istence, should be, in all respects, complete; and, with that
view, they intend to insert a summary of the proceedings
during the progress of the trial in their usual alums, and
present to their friends and subscribers
TWO SUPPLEMENTS, GRATIS.
One of these Supplements will be published on the Sunday suc-
ceeding the delivery of the Verdict, and will contain the Speeches
e' . O'Connell/Ikt Shea, Six C. O'Logidin.4l4.4.teaesay..
eneral, and other leading Counsel; together with the gumming
up of the Judge, the Verdict of the Jury, and other matters of im-
portance that may arise up to the latest hour, for which the
services of several short-hand writers of eminence have been
specially engaged. The second Supplement (also of the full
size of THE WEEKLY DISPATCH) will, in fast,
form the [early portion of the trial, and embrace
the proceedings from the Annmeneement to that
stage at which the other be ; so that every
subscriber to THE WEEKLY DISPATCH will be in pos-
session of a complete and faithful report of this great national
trial—a trial which must become a matter of history, and
be regarded as an event of no ordinary importance in after time.
A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF AIR. O'CONNELL
will precede the acconnt of the Trial, which will be written by a
gentleman intimately acquainted with the "great Agitator,"
and consequently one who has treasured up many reminiscences
that will render the Biography a paper of general and ab-
sorbing interest.
The Two Supplements, forming Ninety-six Columns, will.
be printed uniformly with THE DISPATCH, and con•
tain a quantity of matter equal to at least an octavo volume of
500 pages.
THE DISPATCH is supplied by every Newsysnder in
London, and by the various Booksellers and News Agents M
the country, to whom bills for circulation will be forwarded*
with the name and address attached, on receiving a letter to that
effect, directed to Mr. Wood, Dispatch-efface, IV, Fleet-street,
where orders are also received.

INCENDLIRISM.—Wednesday information was re.
ceived at Bow-street, that about six o'clock on the
morning of the 14th inst. some evil-disposed person or
persons set fire to an oat stack, with intent to destroy
several other corn and hay stacks, standing in the home-
stead yard, and being the property of Mr. Thomas Ab•
bott, of the Manor-house, Belchford, near Horncastle, in
the county of Lincoln, whereby the oat stack was totally
destroyed. A reward of 1001. has been offered by her
Majesty's Government, with a free pardon to any accom-
plice, not being the person who actually set fire to the
stack. Mr. Thomas Abbott and his friends have offered

701., and an additional 404 from the treasurer'of the
Horncastle New Association for the Discovery of
Felony.—Also that, on the night of the 18th inst., or
early the following morning, some person or persona
wilfully set fire to a stack of hay, and upwards of 320
sheaves of ,corn, in the village of Llansanan, in the
county of Denbigh, the property of Mr. Joseph Jones.
A reward of .51. is offered for the discovery of the incen-
diary.
In the London Gazelle we find the following in the list
of army appointments 15th Foot—Christopher Say-
ers, Gent., to be Ensign without purchase, vice Portal,
whose appointment has been cancelled." Mr. Sayers is
brother to the Rev. A. Sayers, of this city (Gloucester),
and also to a very gallant officer, Mr. Henry Knight
Sayers, of the 31st, who led the storming party through
the Tezeen Pass, in'Affghanistan, but whose death, from
the fatigues which he endured during that campaign, de-
prived him of the promotion which was awaiting him,
and which his gallantry had so nobly won. The present
appointment has been made by the Duke of Wellington,
without purchase, entirely in considerationof the soldier-
like conduct of the deceased gentleman, Who, in his own
person, was not permitted to receive the reward of his
bravery.—Gloucester Chronicle.
LIVE WITHIN Tatra. MEANS.—.There is nothing
more unfortunate, from whatever cause it proceeds, than
excess of expenditure beyond income. The greater
part of the harpies of society live and gorge themselves
by taking advantage of this imprudence. Half the
population of London live upon it ; three-fourths of the
ravenous lawyers live upon it ; all sorts of agents live
upon it ; and half the demoralisation of society is ge-
nerated by it.—Anon.
SPORTSMEN BEWARE !—Last week as the Hon.
Mr. Dean and Mr. Brudenell Plummer were hare hunt-
ing underneath Mount Plummer, and having exchanged
horses, Mr. Plummer's celebrated mare "Molly Carew"
was killed on the spot, her hind legs having got into
a deep hidden drain, when at the top of her speed, and
her back bone was actually torn asunder. tie, Dean
sustained no injury.—. Dublin Evening Mail.
SUBLIME.—The shades of night gathered thickly
around ; dark masses hung portentously over the earth ;
the wind whistled mournfully over the horizon ; while
the deep-toned thunder, in muttering accents, proclaimed
the fearful tempest's near approach ; and, as the big
drops of rain began slowly to descend, one little pig,
with a look and manner not to be mistaken, curled up
its tail and ran like the
CHINESE JESTS.—A man of letters, who spent a
great part of the night in study, kept a kettle on the fire
to make tea, as a stumtlus when he should be wearied.
One night, hearing a thief breaking In through the wall,
he took post by it with the kettle in his hand ; and
when the thief had thrust both his legs through the aper-
ture, the student seized them, and poured the boiling
water upon them. The robber roared out for mercy.
" Wait," replied the other, coolly, " until I empty the
kettle."
HEROIC ACT.—Hannah More, in a letter to her
sister, in 1762, relates the following interesting incident
The other morning the Captain of one of Commodore John-
son's Dutch prizes breakfasted at Sir Charles Middleton's, and
related the following little anecdote:-One day be went
out of his own ship to dine on board of another ; while he
was there a storm arose, which in a short time made an
entire wreck of his own ship, to which it was impossible for
him to return. He had left on board two little boys, one
four and the other fivo years old, under the care of a poor
old black servant. The people struggled to get out of the
ship into a large boat, and the poor black took his master's
two children, tied them in a bag, and putting in a little pet
of sweatmeats for them, slung them across his shoulder, and
put them into a boat. The boat by this time was quite full;
the black was stepping into it himself, but was told by the
master there was no room for Min ; that either be or the child-
ren must perish, for the weight of both must sink the boat.
The exalted heroic negro did not hesitate a moment. • Very
well,' said he, • give my duty to my master, and tell him I beg
pardon for all my faults,' and then—guess the rest...plunged
into the ocean never to rise again, till the sea shall give up her
dead. I told it the other day to Lord Itlonboddo, who fairly
burst into tears. The greatest lady in this had wants me to
make an elegy of it, but it is above poesy.

On Friday night and Saturday morning we had
two of those unusually high tides at Yarmouth, which some-
times make their appearance here at new moon, when the wind
is in a peculiarly, favourable quarter. On the beach the water
came up beyond the west-end of the jetty, and flowed put sews
of the most northerly buildings; while on the Southtown Mae
pike, from the Toll-gate south to the Nine-houses on the north,
the road was covered with water, to the venous inconvenience
of many of the inhabitants, but to the pecuniary advantage of
Mr. Clifton, whose Yarmouth and Gorleston omnibus was is
constant requisition to convey passengers to and from market.
We are happy to say we have heard of no !accident whatever
arising from these tides.—Cambridge Advertiser..
THE DIACE.EREL Ftsuggy....The fishermen on the
southern coast have been very successful, and immense num-
bers of boats have come in with good cargoes. The last few
days fine mackerel have been retailed in 13 hton at Is. per
dozen, and even at that low price some of the boats have earned
501. per night. Her Majesty's brig Nautilus is cruising off
Brighten for the protection of the boats.
ALARMING INCREASE OF SMALL-PDX..—Yesterday
no less than seven cases of malignant small-pox were reported
from among the courts and alleys ,branching off from Banc`
side, Southwark. In Moss-alley, near Somerset.wharf, ate
less than four fatal cases have occurred during the week, and
in Cardinal Cup-alley, in the same vicinity, two cases have
occurred. On Wednesday last the parochial authorities of St..
Saviour's, Southwark, instituted an official medical inquiry.
the result of which has not yet been made public, but it ie
understood that some most distressing disclosures will
mately be made regarding the unwholesome and filthy conditioa
of the habitations of the poor on the southern bank of the
river Thames.
