A BRIG ON SHORE ON THE COAST

- - -
OF KERRY.
INCH ISLAND, OCT. l3.—A large brig was driven en shore
this morning in great distress. So imminent was the danger
considered by the crew, that they all deserted her as seen as
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 affonled
every assistance in their power to the suffering crew—pr. -
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 Moriai ty,
behaved themselves very well. and with the greatest knot-
ness, towards the shipwrecked strangers. The injured vre•cl
proves to be the brig Princess loyal, Belilik ma.-ter, of ic'3
tons, from St. Andrew's, New Brunswick, laden with deal ,
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 sonic of the country people,
who plunged into the water and rescued her quite exhausted,
she was 50011 happily revived by the use of cordials and resto-
ratives provided from the 6.1111111C1' cottage of Mr. Bland, st-
Ilunnear. Indeed, that gentleman's kindness and attention
to the master and crew was most valuable and praiseworthy.
INcn ISLAND, °cr. I I.—The vessel remains in the sari,t
place still ; every efThrt was made by the Coast Guard ~:*
Kells, Millard, and Lack, to board her, but in vain. if
Blard and Mr. Eagar are still attending on tile strand 1;.,,•
anxious to have her boarded ; also the Revs. rge and
O'Sullivan, Lavish priests, who attended both days and rs:--

SINGULAR TRAIT OF HONESTY.—In the course of
Saturday a shop boy was sent to the batik with a 20/. note to gi t
it changed into small notes, the which, having got, he put them for
safety into the crown of his bonnet. As he was passing al Jug
Ingram-street, a sudden gust of wind blew off his bonnet, and the
notes took flight in various directions. Tke boy stood aghast,
and, as was natural, shrieked in despair of his ever recovering a
single note ; but fortunately for him, and as displaying a trait of
honesty highly commendable in the denizens of Glasgow, vatimis
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.

UtiARLioN, OR HORN FAlR.—This annual car-
nival in the vicinity of Woolwich commenced on-the 18th inst.,
and was concluded on Tuesday. The weather being ronatkably foie
and dry during the three days it lasted, thousands of the inbabi.
tants of the metropolis availed themselves of the cheap fares to
Charlton and Woolwich, by the Woolwich and Watermen's strain
packets, to enjoy a short river excursion, and on no former ocea.
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 ci nesc
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, et.
tached to the Cadet Company, induced them all to return home.
It was said there were several of the variegated lamps brokeo,
but it is questionable by whom, as on former occasions, emir g
the presence of gentlemen cadets, damage has been done to
vehicles and other articles, and they have been 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.
!sensation 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 et the fair every day, who conducted
themselves in the most peaceable manner. Amongst the exhibi.
Lions 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 prim: pal booths for dancing having been re.
duced from Is. to 6,1. each person, and those performances formerly
charged 6d. aril 3d. to witness them, uniformly reduced to Id., er,
as they were appropriately designated, " Admission postage price,
one penny." The police of the R division, by excellent massage.
ment, a little coaxing, and, when necessary, a show of authority,
succeeded in clearing the fair about twelve o'clock on each nigf:t
with very little trouble.

SCAFFOLD ACCIDENT AT EALING.—On Tue:vilty
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 tinily
feet, when one of the boards not being properly fixed over the por-
tico, it overact, 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 ti:e
skull was so extensively fractured that no hopes are entertained of
his recovery.

OTAIIEITE.—By the Indus, Irhich arrived at Live-I's
pool on Saturday last, advices have been received from Valparaiso
to the 28th of June. A letter, dated the 21st of July, address, d
to a mercantile house in this town, contains the following rather
startling announcement :—" We have a repeat 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 channel by which it had reached Valparaiso, we car.
not consider it entitled to credit, particularly as a letter of the
28th gives no further information respecting it.—Manckeder
Guardian.

Toe WEAT 14 ER AND Cnors.—The weather, dui 31,g
the past week, has been wet and showery, an few opportuniti. a
have been afforded for securing the crops in those places where
they still stand aut. In this neighbourhood, beans excepted, the
fields are nearly cleared. The almost total failure of the potato
crop is eiciting great Amin among all classes. Whole fields a e
so entirely destroyed, that they would not defray the expense et*
raising them. One hundred bolls of them have beets offered f.,r
one hundred shillings, and refused.—Ayr Observer.
Excaurrs FOR TILE ROY AI. A RTII.I.ER.Y.—Aki
Greenwood C. 8., left Woolwioh in the early part of August l..st
for Elgin, N. 8., on the recruiting service, with one m n-e can.
inissioned officer and several gunners and drivers, and letters have
been received at Woolwich from them stating that they had Oct
obtained one recruit. This has not arisen from any want of
exertion on the part of the Gallant Major and the men en-
gaged under his ctions, but is entirely owing to the poor
prospects held out by 6d. per day pensions on retiring front
the service. Formerly some of the best and well-educated
young men in the counties of Aberdeen, Banff, Moray,
Nairn, and Inverness, joined the Royal Regiment of
Artillery, and several of them have been deservedly
promoted from the ranks, and now enjoy the highest position they
can attain as commissioned officers, and staff noncommissioned
officers, with certainty of excellent retiring pensions on quitting the
service. It is doubtful, however, if these parties would ever have
been induced to enlist in the Royal Regiment cf Artilk ry
had not the prospect of Is. per day been held out to them under
any circumstances, and without rising from the ranks; and it is
well known that the poor pittance of 6d. per day held out
to ycung men as the reward fur serving their country during
the best part of their lives, is the cause of the great reluct-
ance of Scotchmen to join the Ordnance corps, and even line
regiments, at the present period. It is not generally known that.
the pension warrant, reducing the former pension warrant Iron]
Is. to 6d. a-day, held out the prospect of ld. additional per day to
every soldier's pay at the end of seven years of good conduct ;
per day at the end of fourteen }ears, and 3d. per day at the end of
twenty-one years, which he may enjoy in addition to his pension ;
but young men do not comprehend these gradations, and
consequently are reluctant to enter the service. Were
the pension warrant of sixpence a day rescinded, and
one shilling, as formerly substituted, the difference
of charge to the country would be insignificant, and an excellent
class of young men would be induced to enter the corps. The
Royal Sappers and Miners' branch of the ordnance service find no
difficulty in obtaining recruits in Scotland at present, and Glasgow
has furnished a large number. The preference is given to the
Royal Sappers and Miners, because the men are allowed pay for
working as well as solitier's pay, and Scotchmen, with their
generally provident habits, place deposits in the savings.bank, to
assist them in increasing the amount they hare to depend on when
they arc discharged from the service.— Times.

t'OAIIISG EVENTS, &c.—As many as 17,000 news-
papers have been found in the General Post-office with their
covers burst. The reason for the newspapers bursting is ac-
counted for by the fact that they contain to many railway bubb:cs.
Punch.

INAUGURATION OF HER MAJESTY'S STATUE IN Tu c
noyAL EXCHANGE.—The interesting ceremony of the inauguration
of her Majesty's statue in the centre of the merchants' area of U e
Royal Exchange will take place on Tuesday next, the 28th inst., it
being the first anniversary of the opening of that splendid edifice.
Our accounts from various parts of the surround
ing district represent the weather during the past week as generally
unfavourable for harvest operations—frequent heavy rains, genera: iy
accompanied with boisterous winds.—Cumberland Paequet.
DARING OUTRAGE —About h;alf-past 6 o'clock or
the evening of Saturday last two ruffians attacked and committed a
most murderous assault upon the person of Mr. William Bunting,
articled clerk to Messrs. Parsons, Beim, and Parsons, solicitors, of
Mansfield, whilst returning in a gig from Nottingham to the latter
Place. At the period of this brutal attack Mr. Bunting was
driving at a very steady pace, when he was struck a most severe
blow on the back part of his head. The injuries which Mr. Bun-
ting received from this blow were of so dreadful a nature that he
was rendered insensible, and his head was severely cut, and laid
open in five dift'erent parts, the wounds being two and a half inches
long, and extending to the bone. Mr. Bunting was completely
covered with blood. Fortunately, before the villains proceeded to
other acts of violence and maltreatment, cr before they lad time
to rifle the pockets of their victim, they were alarmed by the ap-
pearance of a farmer on horseback, who came up at the moment,
and instantly gave the alarm, but the robbers succeeded in making
their escape. The spot where this daring outrage took place was a
complete pool of blood, and is between Thieves and Harlow woeds,
about `2l, miles from Mansfield. The unfortunate gentleman li:al
only a short time previous to the attack passed the man on horse-
back, who, hearing the cries of Mr. Bunting, called out, " What's
the matter 1" and on riding up at:a quick pace, he observed the tao
men make off in the wood on each side of the road. The night
was dark, the moon not having risen, and it is supposed that one
man stopped the horse (the animal stopping very suddenly) while
the other attacked Mr. Bunting from behind. It is conjectured
that the ruffians had mistaken Mr. Bunting for Mr. White, btocl:-
broker, who was expected home from Yottingham about the same
hour ; and what snakes the supposition the more probab7e is, that
both Mr. White and Mr. Bunting were driving white horses. This
daring attempt at murder and robbery has created the greatest ex.
citement in the neighbourhood, such a diabolical outrage not hav-
ing been committed in that part of the country before this period,
land a reward of fifty guineas has been offered for Use men's
apprehension. The full particulars of this outrage has beets
laid before the county magistrates, who, it is thought,
at their next meeting will offer a further reward, se
that these villains may be brought to condign punishment.
We believe it is also intended to lay the else before Sr:
James Graham, the Secretary of State, so that a further re ward
may be offered by the Government for the apprehension and con-
viction of these daring offenders. No clue has as yet been affitrae.S.
