A BRIG ON SHORE ON THE COAST

OF KERRY.

INCH ISLAND, OCT. 13.—A large brig was driven cn shore
this morning in great distress. So imminent was the danger
considered by the crew, that they all deserted her as soon as
she struck, taking such of their clothing and valuables as
they could lay their hands upon. Fortunately Francis Eagar,
Esq., J.P., and agent for Lloyd's, and Francis Bland, Esq.,
J.P, were almost immediately on the spot, and they afforded
every assistance in their power to the suffering crew—pro-
curing cars to transport their property and themselves to the
nearest shelter, &c. It is but justice to say the country
people, particularly two men named Cahalane and Meoriarty,
behaved themselves very well. and with the greatest kind-
ness, towards the shipwrecked strangers. The injured vessel
proves to be the brig Princess Royal, Belihis, master, of 185
tons, from St. Andrew's, New Brunswick, laden with deals,
twenty-eight days at sea.
The masters wife, a most interesting-looking woman, was
very near being drowned in the attempt to get ashore. She
owes her life to the intrepidity of some of the country people,
who plunged into the water and rescued her quite exhausted,
she was soon happily revived by the use of cordials and resto-
ratives provided from the summer cottage of Mr. Bland, at
&Inman Indeed, that gentleman's kindness and attention
to the master and crew was most valuable and praiseworthy.
Ism ISLAND, OCT. 14.—The vessel remains in the same
place still ; every effort was made by the Coast Guard of
Bells, Minard, and Lack, to board her, but in vain. Mr.
Blard and Mr. Eagar are still attending on the strand most
anxious to have her boarded ; also the Revs. George and Jas.
O'Sullivan, palish priests, who attended both days and ex-
horted their flocks not to commit any plunder in case of
wreck.—Kerry Evening Post.

SINGULAR TRAIT OF HONESTY.—In the course of
Saturday a shop boy was sent to the bank with a 204 note to get
it changed into small notes, the which, having got, he put them for
safety into the crown of his bonnet. As he was passing along
Ingram-street, a sudden gust of wind blew off his bonnet, and the
notes took flight in various directions. The boy stood aghast,
and, as was natural, shrieked in despair of his ever recovering a
singe note; but fortunately for him, and as displaying a trait of
honesty highly commendable in the denizens of Glasgow, various
parties, who had ran in pursuit of the stray notes, came, one by
one, till at length he was put in possession of the whole twenty.—
Glasgow Argus.
CHARLTON, OR HORN FAlR.—This annual car-
nival in the vicinity of Woolwich commenced on the I Sth inst.,
and was concluded on Tuesday. The weather being remarkably fine
and dry during the three days it lasted, thoasands of the inhabi.
tants of the metropolis availed themselves of the cheap fares to
Charlton and Woolwich, by the Woolwich and Watermen's steam -
packets, to enjoy a short river excursion, and on no former occa-
sion was the company at the fair known to be so numerous as on
the present. On Monday evening, a number of the gentlemen
cadets entered the fair and took two or three turns round the booths
and stalls, and on some of them being refused admittance to witness
the interior of one of the booths, it was apprehended a disturbance
would take place, but fortunately their absence from barracks was
soon discovered, and the appearance of Lieutenant Christie, at-
tached to the Cadet Company. induced them all to return home.
It was said there were several of the variegated lamps broken,
but it is questionable by whom, as on former occasions, during
the presence of gentlemen cadets, damage has been done to
vehicles and other articles, and they have ben charged with the
offence, from an impression, which has in some instances been found
correct, that their parents or friends would pay any reasonable corn.
pensation rather than allow the names of the gentlemen cadets to
be brought before the public. There were hundreds of the Royal
Artillery and Royal Marines at the fair every day, who conducted
themselves in the most peaceable manner. Amongst the exhibi-
tions were three or four large tents, designated Fives Courts, and
having the names of almost every professor of the art of boxing ex.
hibited in large letters to induce visitors to enter but they did not
appear to be well attended. Cheapness was the order of the day,
the admittance to the principal booths for dancing having been re.
duced from Is. to fid. each person, and those performances formerly
charged 6,1. at.d 3d. to witness them, uniformly reduced to Id., or,
as they were appropriately designated, " Admission postage price,
one penny." The police of the R division, by excellent manage-
ment, a little coaxing. ►nd, when necessary, a show of authority,
succeeded in clearing the fair about twelve o'clock on each night
with very little trouble.
SCAFFOLD ACCIDENT AT EALING.—On Tuesday
morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a frightful accident
occurred to a young man named West, a brick:ayer, who was at
work on a scaffolding at the mansion of Sir John Young, at
Ealing. He was walking along the planks, at a height of thirty
feet, when one of the boards not being properly fixed over the por.
tico, it overset, precipitating him to the ground. In his fall his
head struck the scaffolding poles with great violence. He was
removed to St. George's Hospital, where it was ascerained that the
skull was so extensively fractured that no hopes are entertained of
his recovery.

OTAIIEITE.—By the Indus, which arrived at Liver-
pool on Saturday last, advices have been received from Valparaiso
to the 28th of June. A letter, dated the 21st of July, addressed
to a mercantile house in this town, contains the following rather
startling announcement :—" We have a report here that her Ma
jesty's steamer Salamander has been sunk by a French frigate, the
Uranie, at Otaheite; but we have not been able to trace the re-
port." In the absence of any information as to the source of the
report, or the chant:El by which it had reached Valparaiso, we can.
not consider it entitled to credit, particularly as a letter of the
28th gives no 'further information respecting it.—Manchester
Guardian.
THE WEATLIER AND CROPS.—The weather, during
the past week, has been wet and showery, and few opportunities
have been afforded for securing the crops In those places where
they still stand out. In this neighbourhood, beaus excepted, the
fields are nearly cleared. The almost total failure of the potato
crop is exciting great alarm among all classes. Whole fields are
so entirely destroyed, that they would not defray the expense of
raising them. One hundred bolls of them have been oftbred for
one hundred shillings, and refused.—Ayr Observer.
