We recommend to the attention of all those
engaged in the Education of Youth, Dr. Jamieson's edition
of AINSWORTH'S LATIN DICTIONARY, in octavo. We
have found it very correct, and as it contains all the words
of the quarto editions, will save much trouble both to
masters and stndents. It has the advantage also of being •
stereotyped, and i 3 never ont of print.
The first No. of the LITERARY GAZETTE
fur :829 (the commencement of the thirteenth year), will
contain several interesting novelties :—Portraits, from Pri- •
vate Pictures (as well engraved as can be done in a work
of this description) of the lamented African Travellers,
Denham, Laing, and Clapperton, illustrate a Paper giving

South America, and Van Diemen's Land ; the entire Plan
of the King's College, as finally settled by the Committee ;
Poems, by L. E.L. ; Reviews of Lord John Russell's His-

culation by post), Is.

There are said to be 2,000 English in Romne,
and 20,000 in France, besides thole on other parti of this
Continent.

As a proof of the indisposition of the Catho-
lics to bury their question " in oblivion" it is worth re-
marking, that on Sunday last there were three " agitating"
deputations from the Association—the first to Swords, the
second to Clontarf, and the third to Dunlavin, a village on
the borders of the counties of Carlow and Wicklow. Mr.
O'Connell attended at Clontarf, accompanied by several
other gentlemen; Mr. Steele at Swords ; and Messrs.
Curran, Maurice O'Connell, and Murphy, at Dunlavin.
This must convince the Duke of Wellington that the Ca-
tholics have no idea of relaxing the constitutional exertions
to which they are indebted for the firm ground upon which
they now stand. And we stite the fact, without the most
remote suspicion that the letter of his Grace in anywise re-
ferred to what has been, and must continue to be, the policy
of the Catholic body.—Dublin Freeman's Journal.

DREADFUL CALAMITY-EIGHT PER-

SONS DROWNED !

(Frem the E'f.t.oll,l Edition of !Le Hall Packet, Tuesday.)
If is v, h most sincere and heartfelt feelings of
regret we have in stilt!, that, since our first impres-
tn pre,s, itovflitzence has been received of
the occurrence, in the vicinity of Spurn, on Sunday
last, of a most afflicting calamity, by which eight in-
dividuals have perished ! The particulars of this
lamentable affair are but imperfectly known at pre-
sent ; we have, however, made what inquiry was in
our power, in the limited space that has elapsed,
and the following, we believe, is a correct outline of
the circumstances connected with this truly melan-
choly catastrophe. On Sunday morning three
trading vessels, the Phebe, of Goole, the Helmsley,
of Selby, and the Nelly, of this port, were lying off
Spurn, when the three masters, Captain Sales, Sa-
muel illealas, and George B ggs, agreed amongst
themselves to spend the day with the family of Mrs.
Richardson, who resides at the Spurn Light
House. They left their respective vessels at half-
past eleven on Sunday morning, in the boat of
one of them, accompanied by three men and
a boy, all belonging to tke Phely, and a man
belonging to one of the other vessels. Having
spent some time at Mrs. Richardson's, it appears
the unfortunate men got into their boat to return to
their vessels, but were heard, previously to leaving
the house, to express a determination to procure
some cockles. After this, nothing was heard or
seen of them ; they, however, never returned to
their vessels. Considerable alarm consequently
prevailed, and the most melancholy forebodings
were indulged in, which were, alas' converted into
certainty by the finding of one of the bodies yester-
day morning, washed up by the tide at Cleethorps,
on the Lincolnshire coast, and the subsequent dis-
covery of the remainder in the same vicinity. The
boat has not hitherto been met with, but a bag of
cockles was found near the spot where the bodies
were washed ashore. The immediate cause of this
dreadful event thus remains unknown, as every per-
son on board the boat has perished, but it is sup-
posed that they had got on Cleethorps sand for the
purpose of collecting cockles, and hail returned in
their boat, when, by some accident or other, the
boat was upset. The whole of the bodies now lie
at the inn at Cleethorps, but the coroner's inquest
has not yet been held.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.

There has not been a single bet made to-day worth no-
tice, and the attendance at the room was extremely small,
consequently the odds remain as last quoted.

THE FANCY.

The Battle-money of the match between Curtis and
Pell:ins was last night given up, Both men were present,
and an immense crowd of visitors. A vast number of
bets were discharged on the spot, and all things went off
cool said comfortable on that score. Nut exactly so was
it with Jones and Iteiiiie's battle-money. A little bicker-
iug too': place on that suit, hut it was ultimately resigned
to Harry. Tom declared (whop taxed with something
" worry pekooliar" in his conduct in the battle,) that Jones
had beaten him against his will.
A little go will take place to-day, within four miles of
town, between the Sprig of Shamrock and Gillan for 3/.
a-side, the latter has about four inches of advantage in
height ; but the Sprig's friends are very sweet on hint.
