NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The fine brig Palladium, Ca tss, which sailed from Aberdeen
on the 9th ult. for Riga, has not since been heard of ; and, as her
boats were found on the Jutland coast, near Robsnaut, about the
11th ult. there is reason to fear that the vessel,with allon board,
met a melancholy fate in the tremendous gale of that clay,which
proved so destructive to the shipping on that dangerous coast, as
appears by the number of vessels missing, and the great quantity
of wreck cast on shore. _ _ _

Yesterday, a Court of Directors was held at the East India
house, when Captain JOHN INmes, of the ship Prince Regent,
took leave, of the Court, previous to departing for Madras and
Bengal.

" In consequence of the great scarcity of potatoes :1
this neighbourhood, a Petition was yesterday fe:
ivearsded from the Magistrates lo Governirunn, througr;
Serjeant MiCanns as!, praying that three hundred
tons of potatoes might be sent forthwith from Eng.
land to this port, to be sold for seed to the peasantri,
at reduced prices. It is supposed that not more than
one-fointh of the usual quantity of ground has beet
sown in this county, the great scarcity of potaz"
having obliged the poor landholders to consume what
'Was r.ecessary for seed: The large quantity of oats
in the country has as.yet prevented actual starvittiel
among the peasantry in general. Fever cases arc
very frequent in this town at present. The scarcity of
hay has produced a great mortality among the cattle.
We have heard of one Gentleman who has soff.red
a loss of N cows within a short time back.
GALWAY. •
The aspect of our town at present must alr-n
every thinking man. The fruits of the earth
peen rendered scarce by the severity of the season,
and every part of the crop that has escaped tr,,,d de.
struction, has been rendered not only useless, bitt
ruinous tg health and life. Potatoes, the only sup.
port of our miserable lower orders, exceed in r're
anything the reader can well conceive; and whey
purchased by the half-starved room keeper, at tile
exot bitant demand of 7d. per stone, instead of impart.
ing relief or comfort, convey to his frame and co:isti-
tution a train of diseases, violent and infections.
—While we are giving this picture of the state
things, there are, at this moment, in our unfurnished
Fever Hospital, twelve or thirteen cases•of a mo t
malignant nature—not typhus, we hear, but of a
description bordering on utrid !—The reader wit',,
no doubt, shudder at the assertion—but he must also
believe us when we say, that the Ministers of Itch.
gion are almost constantly employed in administerir,
the rites of their Churches to the poor miserable cre.,•
tures who were brought to their death-beds, r.ot
by fever and disease, but by starvation !—Mri • sec
not then do something to check the progress of
—or shall we tamely look on, while a des,lativr
plague spreads its influence amongst us? One torte!
Imagine that the example of 1817, should have
effect upon us; and that the awful triumph of
on that occasion, should induce and oblige u. now to
snatch from its grasp ourselves and our chiluren, and
the very best. ornaments of society. We are riot in
the habit of giving a high colour to circums.mices
that do not deserve it—and we appeal for the truth
of what we here state, to the professional Gentlemen,
both Clergymen and PhysiCians, who, at the risk p:
their lives (and we are here reluctantly oblige to state,
one of them, Dr. M‘Hugh, has fallen a victim to his
humanity), wait on and attend the sick beds of these
creatures.—Connaught Journal.
Friday, Mr. Farrell, chief peace ufficsr, was sent to the COUri
of Monaghan to arrest seven men, on a charge of treasonabll
practices. This active officer executed his commission with
promptitude, and brought these men to town on Saturday even-
ing, but as they seemed to belong to the lower orders, it
that they are implicated in nothing else than mere Ribbonism.—

We are happy to learn that the state of the suffer-
ing peasantry in eland is at length arresting attcn-
tion ; and w•e trust that a Public Meeting will be im-
mediately held, for the purpose of raising such
subscription as may afford ample and instant relief
We have received letters from two benevolent
viduals, mentioning several bankers where subscrip•
tions will now be 3 ecei red ; but an object so desirable,
and of such magnitude, should not lack the sanctiva
of those whose rank and fortunes alone can give it
due effect.

It is stared from !run, that General Berthon, and
five or six other French insurgents, are in that ne4:;1:-
bourbood. Intelligence from Barcelona, of April i 2,
state:, that " in the night of the 7th, there was some
disturbance in the Patriotic Club. Vie have herd
various accounts of the affair, but it seems certain,
that an individual having uttered some expresskis
relative to the affair of Colonel Costa, a number et
persons fell upon him, among whom, a mili:Limait
drew his sword, and wounded him. The tunit;it c;-
casionecl by this circumstance spread to the neig!l-
- streets. The other particulars, of which we
are ignorant, will appear from the proceedings now
instituted::
THE DUKE OF YORE.- -The inquiries of the Nebi-
lity and Gentry at York House yesterday, were e,.-
tremely numerous, and the:answer given ss as, that 1::s
Royal Highness was much better, and more free
from pain, than on the preceding day.
Aaavu,Roosts.—Mr. PUTNAM' whose entertainment, enrs':r-
ing of Recitations of a moral and instructive nature, we lately
noticed, resumed that entertainment on Tuesday nishi
Rooms, and was very well attended. Mr. Prrsast
his subjects with taste, varies them with judgment, and delivers
them, whether grave or gay, with appropriate expr,ssion.—
I lis Recitations were divided into three portions, as bef.::: ;
' were selected from some of our best authors, and Mr. l'er>ais
was greeted throughout with well-merited approbaerel.
BROOK-GREEN FAIR.— Yesterday being Alay-Wr
the annual amusements at the above Fair took pla.:
At an early hour the road from Hyde-Park-Corner
was lined with equestrians and pedestrians of all de-
nominations. Owing to the fineness of the weather,
the crowds of well-dressed persons flocking towards
Hammersmith were greater than remembered for
some years. At four o'clock in the after noon J;
and jollity was at the highest pitch. In the c(iiie:t!
of the evening, many persons of distinction, snugly
seated in their carriage-, visited the bustling Scene,
and seemed highly to enjoy the rustic /reds of their
humble, though no less happy fellow-mortal F—
. to the judicious area igements c f the
strates, the utmost decotum prevailed.
