EXTRACT OF .4 LErrrn 'atom DUBLIN, DATED SA-
TUKDAY, Al'itlL
it This day the sweep you haw' I.eard of, who had
been tried and convicted of the most unheard of
cruelty to a poor Apprentice boy, [see the STAR
of Wednesday U,t], underwent part of his sen-
tence, by bring whipped Nowgate gaol to the
Royal Exchan. e. The public curiosity to see this
monster in huniau shape was excited to that degree,
that every win..!: kv, the tops of the houses, and other
p;aees, were crowded to excess ; never on any occa-
sion have we witnessed such an assemblage of people
'in the sirens of Diablo). At the Royal Exchange a
most dreadful accithnit happened, that spread great
alarm through the metropolis :—Several hundred
pet ions iniatuted the 5t,.,.s in front of the Royal Ex-
change, and oressore became so great, that the
heavy iron ballii.tride in front gave way,. and it, and
all the tinfortullato v.:isons who were leaning on it,
fell to the ground, killing and breaking the limbs of
such is wrie U.lticlueith. I have just seen the dead
bodies cil sevin LA' them—tour countrymen, two boys,
and a oe„ ;di, r,t,ix feet four inches high. Mr. Coo-
ney, a ITSl:t2Clii)jo publican, had both his legs broke ;
Janus Clnirtle::l, a ?Mice-man, had both his legs and
011 d at in br i.e ; and I understand that there are up-
w trds of fifty mortally wounded. There is not a
quarter of the town but has some person to lament.
The consternation was so great, that in every quarter
you met a ith some person with fear painted in their
countenance, in search of their lather, mother, hus-
kand, wi:e, brother, sister, or other relative."

PADSTOW, APRIL 29....—We es' perioncteel a weep
heavy g ile here yesterday at'N. W. and N. N. W.
which Lhil much damage. The sloop Active, of
Banff, Domunna, from Cork to London, went on
diore at Pervan and instantly went to pieces; the
Captain and two of the crew were drowned ; none
of the cargo has been saved. The Mary, of this
place, was driven on shore at New Quay and totally
lost. A brig was also seen to go down off Trevose
[lead, and a boat has since drifted an shore with the
words 44 Concord, of Swansea, Nicholas Buse," on
Lcr stem. We are fearful we shall hear of further
damage un the coast, as the gale continues.
fistouTog, Amt. 23.---:inon il•ter the Lord Wellington had
left Shoreham Mallow., between eleven and twelve o'clock last
night, the following melancholy catastrophe occurred :—Four
pilots, and two of their friends, who were on board, in descend-
ing from the packet into their hoar, which was alongside to re-
ceive them, incautiously brought their whole weight to press on
one side of the skiff, and which instantly upset it, when, dreadful
to relate, five of the six men, in defiance of all efforts to &nest:rye
them, w ere drowfted. The names of the sufferers were Short,
grown, Pannett, Price, and Fowler. The three former were
pilots. Short has kft a widow and six children to lament his
tat; and Brown a widow and nine. Panora was upwards of
seventy years of age—he, alto, has left a widow and family. Fow-
ler was the steward or mate or the Prince Regent packet,a young
man about nineteen. Randall; a pilot, is the name of the survi-
vor. lie owes his life to one of the crew of the Lord Wolsington,
who pluitgcd ow hoard to save hint. Subscriptions arc to be
opened at the Libreria here to-morrow, for the benefit of the
_ distressed-families of the sufferers. _ _ _

HATTON-0 A UDEN—Yesterday Elisabeth Naylor was
charged with poisoning James Green, a fine boy, two
years and a half old. It appeared that the prisoner
lived next door to the child's mother, in Howard's-
gretn, City-road; and, in consequence of some fowls
getting into the prisoner's garden, she threatened to-
mix some arsenic with crumbs of bread, in order to
destroy them. This threat she executed, and one
of the fowls died soon after eating them. The child,
while plating in the garden, also eat some of them,
and was seized with violent symptoms of poison. The
prisoner was remanded, till the !Ate of the child is
known.
Tree.—Oa Tuesday se'nnight, early, an alarm-
ing tire broke out in a drying.house of Mr. J. Jobb,
machine-maker, at the top of Meadow-lane, Leeds,
which in a short time entirely destroyed the same, to-
gether with the valuable stock.
