A fine woodcock was on Saturday last shot by
the gamekeeper of T. Ram:Es, E4q. on his estate. at
Sanflridge, in the parish of Melk,ian.—Bath Retold.
Vt'e hare heard it stated that it is the wish of

the intstrious and venerable ELDON, that the money sub-
scribed for a testimonial of his virtues and deeds, should
be applied, not in the erection of any perishable monu-
ment or work of human art, but to the noblest of ends,
and for the most charitable and best of purposes, namely,
in the establishing of six scholarships at the University
College, Oxford, to be called " The Eldon Scholarships,"
for the benefit of deserving and deserted youths who may
happen to want such assistance.

On Saturday last two young gentlemen be-
_ _

longing to Ile!fast, together with a young lad of the name
of CooeEia, who lived in Hulywood, put off from Cuitra
in a yawl, at about half-past ten o'clock. Tl►e boat wan
rkged with a sprit and lug sail- When they were about
a mile from the Holywood shore, they attempted to put
about, but in doing so the boat capsized, and they were
precipitated into a very rough sea. They all succeeded in
getting on the bottom of the boat ; and one of the party,
after some time, with great presence of mind leaned over
her side, and cut away the halyards and hawser ; thus
freeing her from her least, and from a small anchor that
had tumbled out when she capsized, and which had firmly
grappled itself in the sand beneath. The boat was thus
so fir freel as to partially right herself. In conse-
quence of the heavy surf, their desperate situation was
unperceived by any of the numerous yachts that lay
at anchor a short distance from them. The boat cell-

tinned to drive s!owly towards the Antrim cua•t; hut
at the expiration of aboat an hour, the poor boy
COOPER, became so weak, that he dropped off unper-
ceived by his companions, and sank to rise no more !
Prior to this, one of the young gentlemen lid s,izeil him
by the foot as be was s:ippiog into the 'eater, and hauled
him out again on the boat's bottom ; but he was too fir
exhausted to retain his hold. The boat was now so much

lightened, that it drifted quicker towards land ; and after
they had hung on for upwards of two hours, they were
perceived from White-abbey ; and a boat put off to their
assistance. They were found about half-a-mile from shore,
:in a most deplorable state; quite worn out, and nearly
blind. They were itnmed-ately put to bed in Mr. WlLLlAm-
son's, of White-abbey, and treated with the greatest atter-
titha- •In a few hours they were so far recovered, as to he
.able to come to town in the evening. The body of the
.boy CoorEa has not yet been found. He was an orphan,
of excellent character, and was supported by an uncle. His
.anxiety was so great to go on this sailing trip, which
proved so fatal to him, that he induced a servant belong-
ing to one of the young gentlemen to sit np during the
greater part of the previous night, to finish a check shirt,
that he might appear properly rigged out on the occi•
sion.—Belfast News Letter.
