NEWS FROM POLAND.

TH I thous, Auo. 19.—The Journal of St.
Petcrsburgh contains the following Proclamation
to the Poles, issued by the Emperor on the 29th
July:

" Pouts!—Our Pmelantation of the 17th Dee. ac-
quaints you with our intentions. These have hitherto
been disregarded.

" Your Sovereign offered you the means of atoning for a
temporary evil by a prompt return to your duty. Far from
listening to his voice, you have given ear to the perfidious
suggestions of ambitious men who make a sport of the fall
of nations. These miserable men have endeavoured to make
all reconciliation Impossible; they have invited you to deeds
which must expose you to irremediable misfortunes and close
against you every way to pardon they have ascribed to your
King intentions which be never conceived. f Meanwhile a ran.
gulaary and obstinate struggle has ensued ; dreadful mi..
fortunes have desolated your country t thousands of your
brave countrymen have fallen victims of a fatal infatuation.
" The Divine Providence has not permitted the ambi-
tious projects of those who waste your blood and the trea-
sures of your country to prosper. Already have those
provinces of the Empire which you have endeavoured to
unite in the insurrection returned to order and obedience
the bands which were intended to spread disorder and deco.
lotion are annihilated or driven Into a foreign country.—
The troops sent to combat them will now strengthen the
main army, which has crossed the Vistula, which you eon.
Weed as an impassable barrier. It is advancing against
Warsaw. A new millet awaits you, which can have no
other than dangerous consequences.
" In this decisive moment we again address to yea words
of peace and clemency. May you pay more regard to them
than you did before ! Those who would implicate you in
theh:erimiaal projects, and draw you into their own destine-
tion.ondeavour to persuade you that you have nn alternative
but between desperation and death, and punishment or ex-
ile. Do not give credit to their odious insinuations. The
crests that have taken place have not cut of front you the
way to deliverance. Return to your duty—truly abandon
all criminal projects—we are still ready to receive you into
favour. The patens/ disposition which caused us on the
4th of July to take a resolution to pardon shall still guide our
conduct towards you ; but only a prompt and unconditional
submission can give yol a right to it.
" Given at Gurskoijiselo, July 0, 1831.

" The Minister Secretary of State, Count G RAI3O Win( I."
BAUSSEVI, Auo. 19.—The Prussian State
Gazette of the 14th gives the following extracts
from the Warsaw papers :
WARSAW, Aso. 4.—The arrival of the corps
of General Dembinski in Praga put the whole ca-
pital in motion. Prince Czardoryski, president of
the government, went a mile out of the city to meet
him. and addressed him as follows :
" Let those who, seduced by the example of their corn-
, tnanders, forget the watch-word of Poland, • Victory or
Death,' recollect it when they see you."
An innumerable crowd of old men, women, and
children, went to the barrier of Schmulow to re-
ceive their friends. . When they saw Dembinski
every body cried, " Welcome to our brave men ;
to the commanders of such heroes ; honour to the
corps that has saved our honour." When the
columns approached the entrenchments the music
played military airs, and the popular song of " No,
Poland is not lost." It is impossible to form an
idea of the appearance of this corps ; the men and
horses were worn out with fatigue. In twenty days
they had marched 150 German (about 750 Eng-
lish) miles ; every day and every hour they had to
fight. They were without provisions or ammuni-
tion, and were obliged to get every thing from the
enemy. They brought with them a great many
Lithuanian and Samogitian hones. Some thou-
sands of soldiers on horseback had led horses be-
sides. Some of the infantry were mounted. Three
hundred principal citizens of Lithuania and Sarno-
gitia are in the corps, from whence representatives
to the diet are to be chosen. The famous Major
Puschetis of the number; also several students of
Wales and some women. They had money enough,
and were regularly paid with the prises taken from
the enemy ; they had six cannon, two of which
are of large calibre.
Beetle, Auc. 7.—We have received intelli-
gence which has filled us all with joy. The Polish
war is on the eve of being settled. In consequent)*
of the intervention of three great Powers, Poland
will be recognised as a free and independent State :

her inhabitants will thus assume a rank among the
nations of Europe. This salutary intervention,
which does honour in bomanity, was in reality the
only means of fielding an sod to that fatal struggle.
We are assured that the Poles have already received
with the most lively gratitude the promise of the
great Powers ; nevertheless they are determined
not to suffer themselves to be lulled asleep. In
Warsaw the people's ardour is daily increasing;
young and old, rich and poor, are continually work -
jag at the fortifications, determined as they are to
conquer or die in the conflict.—Frankfort paper.
BoLooww, Acre. 6.—We are on the eve of a
civil war. The Pope is endeavouring to arm all
the troops he con. Rimini has become a sort of
strong place, for it is garrisoned by 1,500 men,
with four pieces of artillery, under the command
of llentivoglio. The Court of Rome seems to be
determined on resorting to force. Romagna and
Bologna are arming. The latter has formed four'
regiments of National Guards, 16,000 strong, and
almost all provided with muskets.
We are informed that the news of the interfer-
ence of France in the affairs of Belgium has pro-
duced an extraordinary fermentation in Spain. The
Absolutists are furious at it.

From our own Correspondent.
PARIS, Aue. 20.

Sta,—The warlike meeting between Generals
Sebastisni and Lamarque, which ended not in
smoke, but without it, having given rise to many
conjectures and remarks in the journals of Paris,
the two witnesses in the affair thought fit yester-
day to send the following note for insertion in some
of the papers:

" 81111,—`Some of the journal% with intentions which we
will not stop to examine here, have entertained the public
with the meeting which took place between Generals Sebas-
tiani and Lamarque. We believe it our duty to declare,
that these general officers, whose blood has flowed with glory
upon the field of battle, have neither 'hewn less courage,
nor less honour In this circumstance; and we, witnesses,
render ourselves guarantees of that which we establish here.
" V e are, Sir, lte.
" J ACQUESIINOT,
" TIIES. DE RUMIGNY."

This note, which the conjectures of the journals
called forth, does not, however, throw much light
upon the business. I will, therefore, give you a
few of the particulars of the affair, which has made
a great stir here, from a source which is undoubted.
The offence arose from General Lamarque having
in the course of discussion designated M. Lebeau,
as the Sebastiani of Belgium. Here he was called
to order by the President,who observed to him that
such an expression was an insult to M. Sebastiani.
General Lamarque replied that, " If he wished to
insult a colleague, the Tribune was not the place
he would choose ; Mat he intended to personify a
system, and not use any personality."
The next day, when General Lamarque was
proceeding to the Chamber, his carriage was stopped
on the Pont de la Concorde, and M. de Rumigny
opening the door himself, said, " General, M.
Sehastiani feels himself offended by your discourse
of yesterday : he demands the reason from you,
and begs you to choose two seconds." " I wish
nothing better," replied M. Lamarque, " but who
are the seconds of M. Sebastiani ?" "M.
Jacqueminot and myself,— you are honourable men.
and I choose no others." He instantly got out of
his carriage. M. Sebastiani was waiting at the end
of the bridge, and after some little wrangling, in
the midst of which General Lamarque complained
that M. Sebastiani had not written a line to
him the day before, instead of having a parley
that day in the street, the whole party
proceeded to the Champs Elyse*, where the
three waited, whilst M. Rumigny proceeded to
Paris to procure arms. General Lamarque, who
is a skilful shot, generously proposed swords ; but
his antagonist insisted on pistols. stating as a reason
his arm having been broken. During the absence
of M. Rumigny, the gentlemen amused themselves
calmly, upon the campaign of the Prince of
Orange, the Minister of Foreign Affairs having in
his pocket a detail of the defeat of the Belgians.
On the return of M. Rumigny, they proceeded to
the Bois de Boulogne, the usual place of resort for
the settlement of affairs of honour. The seconds
wished to bring about a reconciliation, saying that
they could have no animosity against each other,
and that their divisions were only a triumph to their
enemies. M. Rumigny proposed to General
La-
marque, that as General Sebastiani felt himself of-
fended, would he mount the tribune and say that
he did not intend to address any personality to him?
Upon which the General replied with warmth, that
he would sooner fire all the powder that was to
Le found in Paris. " Will you then write a
letter to the journals ?" "No more of it. Sir,"
and eagerly held out his hand for one of the pis-
tols, exclaiming at the same moment, " Let so
make an end of it." General Jacqueminot then
took the business in hand, and by dint of persua-
sion and working upon the General's feelings, the
affair was arranged. General Lamarque agreed to
write the proposed letter, upon condition of Gen.
Sebastiani writing to him a frank and explanatory
letter upon the words which he applied to him,say-
ing he was a party man,wbich appear to him much
more offensive than the expression made use of,
for M. Lebeau is a distinguished orator and a man
of talent.

This was agreed to, and the two letters were
written at the same time, upon the ground. Ge-
neral Lamarque, however, not perfectly satisfied,
said, on mounting his carriage, " Gentlemen, if
the least cloud is raised upon all this business. I
reserve to myself to regard the affair as not termi-
nated." The witnesses said they charged them-
selves to become guarantees. You may rely upon
the above being a correct outline of the business.
Since the affair of the duel has a little blown
over, we have two other subjects, which are much
occupying the public attention at Paris, and are
the topics of conversation in the first circles. These
are—the appearance of the ex-Dey of-Algiers at
Paris, and the conspiracy which the Holy Alliance
has just been forming against the independence
of Belgium. It is said, in the first instance, that
the occasion of the visit of the ex-Dey te Paris, is
to conclude a treaty with the French Government.
in order to be re-instated in the dignity of Dey of
Algiers, and that the negociation is taking place
under the protection of the English Cabinet. A
letter from Leghorn, which I have seen, states that
the ex-Day, during his sojourn in that city, kept
tip an active correspondence with the Cosa of
Africa, and that emissaries of Bedaub' Chiefs were
lodged at a country home which the ex-Dey oesepisi

Mar Leghorn ; that one of these emissaries, o
principal chief of the Bedouins, was killed at the
bead of the troops which attacked the French
troops, commanded by General Berthesene at the
Atlas in the last expedition, a loss which has much
afflicted the Day.
It is also said that M. Casimir Perier, wishing
to remain in power, has altered his mind respect-
ing the cession of Algiers, and that the ex-Dey
has just sent one of his aide-de-camps express to
London to Lord Grey, in order to be seconded is
his negotiations. On the affairs of Belgium,
rumour is afloat, the trLth of which is confidently
affirmed, that the French Cabinet had deceived the
Conference of London, by secretly proposing the
restoration of the House of Nassau in Belgium ;
for (it is said) how can the astonishment of the
Prince of Orange be otherwise explained, at the
news that the French troops had arrived inßelgium,
and thus his slow march to invest Brussels, which
he could have done very easily,was at cnce arrested.
But as the restoration would have caused a bane
of indignation throughout France, the Francis
Cabinet prevented the fall of the independence of
Belgium by this blow. Various other singular re-
ports are in circulation, but the two I have just
recounted excite the most attention.

It is rumoured that Austria is favouring the
insurrection in Italy, for the purpore of demon.
strating to Europe the insufficiency of the Papal
Power, and the necessity of making that fine
country a grand Austrian sovereignty. The
grand question of the Peerage, however, is the
lion of the day. So many rumours are
afloat, that it would be useless and impos.
si'Jle to point out to you which is the true one.
For my own part I do not believe that up to this
moment, although the business is to be brought
forward on Tuesday, any thing is decided on; but
from what I can learn it appears 'Natty evident
that this last fibre of feudalism in France will be
rooted out ; or, as usual, all the country will be up
in arms.

The question of the occupation of Belgium ap-
pears to perplex the ministers. They are between
the devil end the deep sea—they know not whether
to retreat or push forward—either seems equally
perilous; and they will have some difficulty to
extricate themselves. It is said that M. Casimir
has turned a willing ear to the suggestions of the
opposition, and intends to Claim for France Phi-
lippeville and Marrienbourg.
I forward the Journals, and remain yours, &c.

IMPORTANT POLISH NEWS.
RECEIVED THIS DAV.

WAisAw, A tics. Is said that General Dembinski
will be appointed Governor of Warsaw. An Ordinance of
the National Government, dated yesterday, gives him the
rank of General of Division. General Krukowlecki has
again left Warsaw.

The Polish troops and the army of Count Pastewitsdt are
now again opposite each other, and at no great distance, be.
tween Sochatuew and Levies. A decisive battle is every
moment expected : hitherto there have been only skirmishes
between the outposts. Yesterday there was an action of this
description, in which the Poles are eald to have made (30
Hussars prisoners.

The force of General Paskewitseh Is said not to be so great
as it was at first supposed to be; he is said to have a very
great force in cavalry, bat the infantry is not numerous in
proportion, Some of the regiments of Prince Sehashoffskig
corps are said to have re more than 000 men. The liussiars
are reported to bare 130 pieces of cannon. Gen. Rudiger
has greatly extended hh lined operations; he himself, with
the main force, is between Bobrowniki and Kosk. 12,000
men are about Zavociee. At Josefow there are 3,000 in.
Pantry and cavalry, under the command of Getteral
ger's hid.de amp; they were landed on an ishal is the
Vistula. but have not proceeded farther. On the WI kik of
the :Vistula, at that place, there are Poll& Imp.

The Russian General made prisoner by Col. Rosytki,
whose name is Pardretyn (not Potemkin, as was at ens er-
roneously stated) was brought to Warsaw yesterday. He
was just come from Russia, and going to take the command
of a divisfor, of the army of Field Marshal Paskewitsch.
The Breslow Gaulle gives the following account from
the Polish frontier , "In the same manner ea Field Marshal
Piakewitath made the Poles imagiao that be intended to
cross the Vistula at Meek, and instead of t►at, pissed
it lower down at Nieuwe, he ban now proceeded at
the Bajura. By sending light troops before he made
the Pules to believe that he would pose the Nara,
Lowica, and Socket:sew, on the high mud leading from
Warsaw to Kaliach, and meantime turned on the Id and
3d of Au pat the sources of the Bruns at Leuesyk, and
Plootek, advancing thence towards Bezesyn and Rana, so
that he has now his back turned to the Silesain frontier. It
seems that by thus going round the sources of the Brous,
his design was to spare the RUISISSI enemy the loss it might
hare sustained in crossing this river, the bank' of which
are very marshy and dangerous to pass, and at the isms
time to open a communication with Itudiger's corps, the
junction with which will raise his army as betimes
eighty and ninety thousand men. As by ale meveman
he abandons the lower Vistula, be would, in ease his enter•
prise should wholly fail, be able to retreat mom die uppsi

We refer our readers to the important details
inserted in our preceding columns, bringing the
news from Warsaw seven days later than any that
has appeared in the journals of the morning. The
intelligence given by the Prussian States Gazette,
the Austrian Observer, and the Hamburg,' Re-1
porter, is all of great and absorbing interest, al—
though the decisive battle for which it prepares the
public mind, has not vet taken place.
The Emperor of RUSSIA has published another
P:celantation to the PotEs, evidently written in
t!:.: state of ignorance and fatuity, which govern
Courts and Ministers on popular questions. He
swa nothing of the Polish Constitution, nothing
of better government, nothing of redress of
grkiances ; but calls on the Poles to yield to the
tender mercies of the Court of Petersburgh ! He
offers no amnesty ; but if the Poles submit, then
he is to display the well-known and long-tried
clemency of an Autocrat. The bait will not take,
and we are well pleased that the Poles are still
4:ermined to assert their independence of his plea-
nre or displeasure.

•
We have accounts this Jay down to. the 17th of
August, but they area Prussian State Gazette
teriion. It is admitted that PaSIRWITSCII is
sa at Lowieez • but asserted that RUDIGER is at
Radom, and that 2.5,000 fresh troops are on march
i7om Lithuania.

la the meantime the Polish general, Dcm-
PLINSIit, has returned with his division from
Saliogitia, bringing recruits and horses; and •the
i,cannoitring parties of the Poles push on towards
I4riecz, the Landstrum protects the Warta, and
'icy are masters of the right bank as far es Plock.
twirrscit has been five weeks on the left of
no Vistula, and hitherto has moved with no con-
Ldence. Reinforcements will have to fight their
ly for several hundred miles, and the approach
f the rainy season and long nights favours the
Klee.

The 'acting catastrophe off the Angles.. coast
Lich above Ova II LT 1,1 DYAD !BRION., in the

hey-day of health and pleasure, have been sod-
denly deprived of life, proves that samcia t. az-
o u ATIO s ought long ere this have beenapplied
to vessels, in which so many persons are con-1
stantly embarked. The cheapness and facility of
conveyance tempt thousands to adopt it, who
heretofore avoided the water ; and a special police
should controul the commercial and interested pro-
prietory. In this case there appears to have been
a drunken captain, with no other quality to
recommend him ; and in the Haverfordwest

case he was a man palpably incompetent to the
charge of so many precious lives. Neither vessel,
too, was so sea worthy as such ought especially to
be ; while there is not sufficient provision of extra
boats in a species of vessel, which, to the ordinary
dangers of navigation, superadd the chances from
machinery and fire. We have collected all the de-
tails which have come to hand, and they will be
read with melancholy interest. We noticed the
calamity on Saturday, and we propose to continue
our narrative on future days.

It is afflicting to see reports in newspapers pub-
lished in our chief manufacturing and commercial
districts, of decay of trade and general distress ;
because we knowthat a contrary policy is the gene-
nil interest of all local papers, and that they would
not venture tostate such circumstances, unless the
facts were established by the public voice. Thus,
even at Liverpool, the emporium of commerce and
the focus of enterprise, we hear of serious stagna-
tion; and in Yorkshire, where industry is a habit of
life, we read that a general stagnation pervades the
woollen, worsted, cotton, and silk trades. This
also is but a reflection of London itself, the port of
which never presented so little business, and where
industry and trading, wholesale and retail, are suf-
fering and languishing in all branches. Limited
views of causes do not enable many to penetrate
the true ones, while others in possession of large
estates, or accumulations, harden their hearts by a
ready common-place answer, that there always
was, and always will be GRUMBLERS. At the
present moment, there are thousands so credulous
as to ascribe all stagnation to the procrastination
of the Reform Bill, and others who suffer in
patience, because they calculate on golden days
when it shall have passed ! These are of the class
who still believe in ghosts and witchcraft—but
there are others, and, we hope a majority, who
look deeper and farther—and who, from five or six
years experience, quote the uncorrected panic,
PEEL'S Bill, and the dependence of the country
on the variable issues of the Bank of England.
Some refer to Taxes, the Corn Bill, high Rents,
Land Monopolies, and Exchequer Bills ; while all
agree that whatever be the cause or causes they
merit prompt and serious inquiry, and better relief
than cruel aggravations of the existing merciless
laws against Debtors ; and, at least, the active
sympathy of the sitting Parliament sad existing
Government.

I The House of Commons in furtherance of the
Reform Bill, met again on Saturday at noon, and
sat till half-past six, and it may be hoped that the
greater convenience of these hours will lead to a
salutary change in the daily hours for legislation.
The comparative luxury of doing business during
the tintellectual vigour of day-light, instead of
the drowsy and exhausting hours of midnight, was
felt by members, and all concerned.
Various petitions were presented on subjects of
public interest, as the Punishment of Death.
Molasses, the ill-treatment of Mr. and Mrs
Deacle, Marine Insurance, &c.
Mr. J. Gordon moved for a present list of Wex-
ford Magistrates, with a view to expose whether
Government has dismissed any of those mixed up
with Newtownbarry affair. Sir J. Newport called
this itinerant legislation, and referred to a list
lately printed ; Mr. Gordon said his itinerant legis-
lation was better than Sir John's sedentary, and
then withdrew his motion.

Mr. Rice moved the third reading of the Irish
Lord Lieutenant's Bill. Sir John Newport highly
applauded the measure, as tending to improve the
magistracy, by the influence of responsible per-
/OW.

Mr. O'Connell thought, however, that it would
do harm instead of good. He saw no chance of
improving the magistracy by giving all the power
to one person, to whom the Catholics would object.
He preferred even the present scramble to a magis-
tracy entirely partisan ; and quoted the toryism
of the Lord Lieutenancy of England. He did
not believe the bill arose from a desire ofl
patronage, for Ministers preferred only their po-
litical opponents for apparent want of courage to
prefer their friends.
Col. Conolly thought this measure was better
than the present system. Sir R. Peel, Lord Kit
leen, and Mr. Lambert, also approved of it, and
the Bill was passed.

In the Committee on the Reform Bill, Lord Al-
thorp moved an alteration in the 18th clause, to
prevent freeholders in towns voting for counties, if
their premises had a rote in the town. A prolix
discussion then took place as usual, and Mr. H.
Hughes moved an amendment, and on a division
there was 1 against 187.
The 19th and 20th clauses relative to Land-Tax
and Registration were then agreed to, and the
Committee sits again to *morrow.
Lord Stormont then arose, and messed govern-
ment with interfering in the Dablie
Lord Althorp said he knew ottbillf of it. Mr
O'Connell totally denied the fact, botajihl the anti

ream candidates were announcing their ".influence
10111kfronow ministry about to be formed." Lord
illanitimt persisted in his assertion, and Mr. Lefroy
aid 'police magistrate:was to prop os one of the re-
llonoiog candidata, and that Sir W. Gusset, Under
Secretary of State was canvassing. Mr. O'Con-
nell justified the selection of Alderman Darley
as a nominator, and said that the object
of the Noble Lord was to get Ministers to inter-
fere for the corporation candidates, Lord Ingest:4e
and Mr. Shaw. Mr. Crampton said, the charge
in that House was a mere election trick ; and
after other statements of Mr. Lefroy, and Lord
Stormont repeated the assertion, the Attorney
General and Mr. Shiel called on Mr. Lefroy for
his authority. Sir T. Freemantle and Mr. Wynn
thought Sir W. Cosset should be examined, but
Mr. Warburton protested against acting on ano-
nymous information.

to contract for a new Russian loan in Holland,

Ccose Or TIIR Pota..—During the entire day
the Court House, fitted up as No." 2 freeholders
booth, was densely filled with anxious spectators.
who evinced a lively interest in the success of
the reformers by loud approbation of their sup-
porters, and as forcible dislike for their oppo-
nents. At five o'clock it presented an alarming and
distressing appearance, from the excessively crowd-
ed state of every accessible spot within it. A num-
ber of well known popular speakers were present,
and several of them adAressed the assembly in
eloquent and very appropriate harangues. Mr.
Lawless, the Messrs. Thomas and John Reynolds,
Mr. Kelly. Mr. Costello, Mr. J. A. Curran, all
spoke ; and Mr. H. G. Curran was proceeding in a
very powerful withers when the High Sheriffs and
candidates entered the Court to announce the state
of the poll. Mr. Sheriff Halaban stated it to be
as follows :

trie in a rapid, energetic, and eloquent style, the
disgraceful faction he had associated himself with,
and the consequences that must ensue, if his lord.
ship persisted in using such unhallowed instru-
ments, evidently to the great annoyance of the Re-
corder, and his lordship, and amid the most enthu-
siastic cheers of the entire assembly.
The Recorder presented himself to address them
immediately after, but was received with smiling
shouts and groans. Mr. Marcus Costello interfered
in his behalf, but with only partial and temporary
success, and the learned judge was obliged to re-
tire, after uttering a few unconnected sentences,
amid the same dreadful hooting, with which he was
received.

Lord Ingestrie accompanied him without making
an attempt to speak.
Mr. Sergeant O'Loughlen then came forward,
and was hailed with a burst of deafening cheers,
which continued for some minutes. He said it was
his duty to account for the state of the poll as an•
flounced by the High Sheriff. lie arraigned the
entire system by which the majority was effected,
and complained of it as unjust and partial. (Hear.)
If his colleague and hi:nself had got fair play, they
would have stood at least as high as their opponents.
(Cheers.) In the freemen's booths their opponents
refused to vote by tallies, and it so happened that
the deputies could never see his friends except. per
haps, every third or fourth turn. (Hear.) In the
arrangement of the freeholders booths the old plan
was changed, and the letters of the alphabet so dis-
posed among them that not 300 votes could be taken
where 800 were formerly, and the consequence was
that 200 freeholders who were prepared to vote, were
unable to get up to the poll.(Hear ,hear, ended
groans) And thirty-five persons only could be
polled during the day, instead of more than 200
generally polled in the same time. The delays
practised were such, that on an average not more
than from three to four freeholders were polled
in an hour. (Hear, and groans.) It was Com
such nefarious and nnjust means that • partial
majority was effected by their enemies; but these
and other objectionable arts were already in a great
measure corrected, and it only required a
strenuous effort of their friends to-morrow to place
them at the head of the poll..—(Cheers.) The
learned gentleman concluded by an energetic ap-
peal to the electors to attend early at the hustings
next morning, and was warmly cheered.
Mr. Wombe returned his friends thanks, in
eloquent terms, for the support they had already
given him. He said the real majority was but 68,
and earnestly urged them to come up early to the
hustings this day.
The Court was then adjourned tiU ten o'closk
this day— Saturday.

WRRCK OF THE ft THSAT-CASTLE STEAMER.
UPWARDS OF EIGHTY LIVES LOST.
(Prom the Liverpasl Mrsußiek.)
II Is this day ma palatal duty to record one of the most
dreadful catastrophes which has occurred In this pert of the
amnia, for many rein paw. We allude to the inn of the
Roth.., Castle, with nearly the whole of her passengers, on
the night of Wednesday lea.
The Reeks? Castle. oar readers are aware. Is one of the
mamma plying between this port and Desertions and
Bangor. She leer Liverpool on NVedneeday matting ar II
o'clock, for those places, having on board. as nearly as has
yet been ascertained from 101 to 105 passengers. besides
her captain. crew, hand, ae,amounting to 11l person.. Thr
wind was blowing rather freshly from the north-west. tier
regular time of reaching Besumaris would have peen rix
o'clock in the evening, but owing to the strength of she gale,
which was right a-bead. site did not pass the great Onus.
head until about ten at night.
After leaving the Ornahead, the vessel male directly fir
Pus, Island, and about twelve o'clock she reached a bar.k
situated about three milt% from Puffin Island, or Prim,-
holme. and known by the name of Hotelman's Bank At
this time it easiest low water, the wind blowing N.N al'.
a heavy gale. Unfortunately, the vessel had been driven too
far to the northward, and, owing to this circumstance. as
well as to the lownem of the tide, she struck with great
violence on the bank. We should state, however, that for
two hours before this time the teasel had heonnte exceedingly
leaky, and the crew and passengers worked at the pumps
by turns, three at a time. When the vested struck, the
shock was tremendous, and the shrieks of the passengers.
particularly of the females and children, whom apprehension.
now gave place to despair, are dcerribrd by the survivors as
agonising in the extreme. It is impossible to describe the
scene which followed. After the first ahock the passengers,
most of whom had crowded upon deck, were ordered by
Captain Atkinson to go aft. They had scarcely done this.
when she struck again with a violent shock, and then lay
upon the bank on her madman] side.
The altrum bell was now rung with so much violence that
the clapper broke, and some of the passengers continued to
strike it for some time with it atone. The bell was heatd
we believe, at Ileaumails, but as there sae no light hoisted
on the mast of the steamer, those who heard the signal were
of course ignorant from whence ft proceeded. The sea was
running mountains high, end every wave broke over the
teasel; but the mom was shining throughout this distressing
scene with a clear and calm serenity.
A very short time after the vessel struck, a report was
spread that the Captain was overboard. This proved to he
the case. The violence with which the waves broke over
the deck, rendered it almost impossible for the paesengers to
preserve their footing, and we believe that several indivi.
duals were at this tin c washed overboard. The females, in
particular, uttered the nom pier clog cries; some locked them.
selves in each others' MIMI, while others, losing all self-com-
mand, tore off their caps and bonnets, in the wildness of de-
spair. Jones, the steward of the vessel, and his wife, who was
no board, lashed themselves to the mat, determined to spend
their last moments in each others' arms. It is impossible
to pursue the details of litich a scene. or to pourtray
to the imagination all the circumstances of horror by which
it was accompanied. Soon after the vessel struck, a party of
the passengers, about 13 or 20, lowered the boat and
crowded nun it. It was impossible for any open lost to
live in such a sea, even though not overloaded ; and she im.
mediately swamped and went to the bottom, with all who
had made this last Itopelem effort for self-preservation.
Soon afterwards, the vessel being struck by a tremendous
sea, separated in two, and one half, on which were
about forty person, was carried sway. Among these was
Air. John Nuttal, of Bury. whose life was ultimately me-
served, from whose lips we have ascertained most of them
'freeing particulars. %lr. Nurtal, on being carried away.
clung instinctively to the first object which presented itself to
his gaup, and found it to roneic of a portion of the wreck,
about 2i yards square, consietine of the rudder-wheel, and
a portion of the timber to which it was attached. Free
other persons were also adhering to the same fragile sup.
port, and among these was a boy, son of the helmsman,
who had climbed on 31r. Nut•al's back, and clung round his
neck. These six individuals succeeded in picking sip other
three, and afforded then, a refuge. Among these was
bliss Whittaker, of Bur), who was caught by Mr.
Nuttall by the hair of the head, as she was swept past
them, and thus almost miraculously preserved. They re-
mained in this peed/on, drifting before the wind and tide,
until seven o'clock in the morning. For the first four or five
hours the tide was flawing, and carried them towards land,
hut when it began to ebb, they were carried out to sea.—
Their deliverance was thus effected. Having caught • piece of
timber whirls was flo ping past them, they tied a handle. rehire
to it, and waved it as a signal, in hopes of being otserved.
They alto shouted as long as they could retain any eom.
mend over their Takes. Hut although they were now within
sight of Beatimaris, they failed for a long time to attract the
entice of those on shore. At length Miss Whittaker gave
up her ilannel petticoat, which being tern into large strips,
was hoisted from the top of the staff; and being by this
means at length perceived from the land, the life.heat put
off to their assistance, and succeeded in rescuing them from
a watery grave.
Among the peranra thus saved were, Mr. John Wilyon,
of Manchester, a gentleman from Leeds, William Joan, a
Liverpool pilot, Bliss Whitaker, Mr. Nuttall, and the boy
who clung to his neck. On arriving at Beaumaris they
were conveyed to the Head Inn, kept by Mr. Breeknell,
where the most humane attention was paid them. They
were put to bed, and attended by a medical gentleman,
under whose care they speedily ierovered from the state
of exhausion in which they were found. Mr. Whittaker,
brother to the holy we have named, on finding that the
vessel was going to pieces, stripped himself to his shirt,
and an being swept away by the wares. lie clung to a piece
of wood, part of the wreck. He was rot picked up until
half-past eight, by which time he had drifted seven or eight
miles to seaward. His deliverers were reverel persons be-
Imaging to a pleasute.lmat or schooner. the property, we be-
neve, of a nephew of 31r. Aldimen Wright, of this town,
and which was lying at anc',or t ff Ileaumaris. The persons
on board the schooner heard the bell of the steamer, but
there being no light at the mar head, they did not know in
what au stcr to kr ad rek f.

The following are the particulars of Mr. Martin's esteem.
as communicated to us by himself. He corroborates many
of the circumstance% which we had pr. vMusly learned from
hlr. Nuttall, tespecting what took place up to the time of
the vessel striking upon the bank. After that event took ,

perate struggle and reached it. They continued on the plank
until the morning was far advanced; at length one of them,
a foe young man, lost his held through recessive weakness,
and sunk into a watery grave. His other companion. a re-
ther elderly man, soon afterwards shared a similar fate.
With great exertion Mr. Martin still retained his hold, and
at length picked up a small spar, which was floating post.
To this he fastened his handkerchief, and kept continually
waving it ass signal, as well as his state of exhaustion per-
mitted. It at length caught the eye of some boatmen who
succeeded in resetting him, after being immersed five hours
In the foaming element. Near Mr. Martin was another spar
to which three individuals were also clinging. Twn or dress
also fell off and were dmwned, and the other was picked up
by the same boat which saved Mr. Martin. This in.
dividnal was at that apparently lifeless, but was afterwards
restored to a stye of consciousness. Mr. Martin was ►e-
air don his arrival at George's Pier by a crowd of his
friends, who conduct:el him to his house in Cable•street.
Ills interview with his family was truly affecting. Mr.
Rudland, one of the band on board the Itothsay ('as le, was
most miraculously preserved by clinging to his bass drum.
The following is the copy of a lever which he has since
transmitted to his wife in this town :

Jones (rite steward) and his wife, to whose melancholy
fate we have already briefly adverted, continued with the
mast, to which they had tied themselves until it was
broken in two and carried overboard. They were never
seen alive afterwards. When the vessel struck, and was
going to pieces, Mr. nose. jun. (of the firm of &milkmen,
Tinne, and Co. of this town,) who is an excellent swimmer,
and two others, stripped of their el,ohes, and swam to a
plank which was floating in the sea, and contrived loan to
it. He soon became insensible, and remained In that state
not having the slightest remembrance of what paned
afterwards, or of the means by which he reached Beau-
marls. He soon came to himself, and though much er.
feebled by the injuries he eustained, and the exertions be
made, we are happy to state be is now in a fair way of re-
emery. Another gentleman lashed himself and his wife to
a plank, and both reached the shore ; unhappily, however,
the gentleman died almost immediately ; the lady, we under-
stand, is doing well. W have the satisfaction to state that
Mr. Alderman Wright was not among the sufferers, m ge-
nerally reported throughout the town on Thursday, nor was
be on board of the vessel. The worthy Alderman. who is at
present residing at Beaumaris, has been most laudably active
in affording every kind of assistance to the survivors. The
engine and boiler of the Rotheey Castle remain oo the bank
and are expected to be saved.
There was on board the steamer a party of 34 indivi-
duals, all from Bury or its neighbourhood, who were
proceeding to Beaumaris and Bangor is a pleasure ex-
cursion. Of these only three have been saved; Mr. Nut-
' tall, and Mr. and Mies Whittaker. We omitted to state
that Mr. Whittaker, when takes out of the water, had cow-
