A poor Irishman, who resided in Dublin,
wos received' with his comrade, on board one
of the Dublin packets, on Sunday evening the 4th.
inst. in the roost shocking state of 'drunkenness,
much to the annoyance of the passengers, particu-
larly the ladies, whose ears were assailed by t be most,
obscene and blasphemous language, riot, and Con-
fusion, which lasted till a late hour of the night ; at.
which tittle the poor unfortunate wretch being t v.!r-
come by the effects of inebriety, and haying
in his -.madueSs thrown the principal part OE
his 'covering into the sea, was suffered to remain
in a state of insensibility upon the deck, exposed
to the inclemency of the weather, and 'tossed front
one end to the other in a gale of wind, for some
• hours, in which state be was launched into eter-
icily, with the echo of his impiety scarcely hushed.
liad the coalition dictates of eharity or. compaa-
, sion been shewn, by covering or conveying him
below, he might probably have been saved, aunt
.perhaps have become sensible of his wickedness;
kind by'filling the relative duties of husband and -
father to a nn-iv poor helpless widow ;Ind fatherless
child, might have died like a; Christian. The
steward, between three and fOlir o'clock in -the
morning, inquired in the. cabin if any medical
gentleman was on boa; d, as a man was dying upon
the deck. In-- the inst4nt.a surgeon in the navy
scent up to see if he could render any 'assistance ;
and although the vital spark appeared -to be fled,
be had hopes of procoring reanimation ; to effect
which purpose he desired covering and 'spirits to
be immediately-brought, neither of which nor any
ast•ist;ince whatever could he procure.
Ott the art ival of the vessel here, an itiquegj %vies
held on the JAnlv Of this man, when -a' verdict cat
Died by excessive drioking" 'elm-lied. We
understand, however, that in consequence of the
depositions of the ,Surgeon allin'echto in the above
statement, and another of the passengers, which
were not given till, after -the inquest had been
tarn, another inquest is to be held.—(Liverpol
