DUBLIN; Frs. 9.—We regret to state, that in the heavy gale of the
6th instant, the Minerva, Captain linro.gr, which had gone down
to Dunleat y tar the purpose of assisting the sloop Providence, Cap-
tain Evans, which had sunk, and the sloop Union, which was like-
wise endeavouring to assist the Providence, both drifted on the
pier, where the Minerva shortly became a total wreck, a small part
of her rigging, together with her anchors, being the only articles
saved. The Captain, finding every effort unavailing, thought it
most prudent to heave the vessel off to her anchors, when the sloop
Union, that was likewise endeavouring to raise the Providence, and
was also making sail to get off, in a heavy squall, drove on board
tile Minerva, and parted her from her ground tacklings ; they drifted
against the pier and sunk. It was an appalling sight to behold two
vessels sinking close to the pier, and one of them, the Union, en-
veloped in flames.

Wednesday evening, as Mr. 11. Harrowhy, the cocker,
was returning from Moulsey Hurst, with a fritmd,:they werelovets.
turned at the bridge, between Twickenham and Brentford, in
making way for some persons coming at a quick rase behind them,
and which set their horse refractory. The consequence was, that
both Mr. 11. and his friend, Mr. Frampton, were taken up speech-
less, from violent contusion; on the head; the latter remained in a
Mate of stu?or yesterday, and is not expected to recover. 'Hie con-
cussion was so greet th.:t the dig was broken from the shafts, .nd
the horse ran away with them.
ASSASSINATION.— Monday night last, about half-
past ten o'clock, as JOHN JONES was returning home,
accompanied by his son, a boy about fourteen, frora
attending a Friendly Society, of which he was a Mem-
ber, he was attacked, in Vauxhall-road, opposite the
end of Maguire-street, Liverpool, by three men. They
were armed with bludgeons ; and, as soon as JONES
came up, they struck the unfortunate man several blows
on the head with these deadly weapons, and he fell
almost instantly. The savages, having accomplished
their diabolical purpose, immediately fled; but, the
shrieks of the boy having attracted the watzhman and
others persons to the spot, the villains were pursued,
and one of them was fortunately secured. He was
committed to Bridewell, to await the Coroner's Inquest.
Meanwhile, the unfortunate man was conveyed home,
and, after lingering in great agony, expired nest day at
noon. The deceased was a sawyer, and had continued
at his work, notwithstanding the bulk of the trade have,
for some time past, been standing out for wages; and
his conduct had, it is supposed, excited the hostility of
the other men. The man who was taken in endeavour-
ing to make his escape is also, we are informed, a
sawyer. The bludgeon with which he was armed is a
piece of square mahogany, so formed as to be firmly
grasped by the hand, and to strike with great force.
Now that the Lottery system is drawing to a conclu-
sion, it must be a subject of proud exultation for Mr.
Siv that he took the la-t Contract, and by gar-
nihing his Scheme with SEVEN P 20,000 Prizes, has
succeeded in rivetting the attention of the Public, in a
most unusual degree. NEXT Tnuasnay, February 19,
a ill be the First Day of Dra•A ing, and a memorable
Jay it will probably prove to many, for the Two First
Prizes are each to have 00,000 Sterling extra; and all
that are drawn Blanks will be put in the Wheel and
drawn again, so that if they miss the Two First, they
will still have a chance for net: other Prizes of Twenty
Thousand Pounds.
