SHIPWRECKS.

THE benevolent attention of the Charitable of ibis
great Metropolis is most anxiously solicited to the lite
melancholy event in Donegal Bay, on the North West Coast of
Ireland. By this awful visitation, no less than 42 industrious
Fishermen, actively employed in providing the means of support-
ing their Families, have suddenly perished ! Thirty Widows
have to lament in sorrow and misery the fate of their Husbands,"
and 102 Children are thrown destitute Qrphans upon the World!
A Calamity so disastrous and extensive is unparalleled in the do-
mestic History of that Ccantry. Many of the unhappy Sufferers
in this Misfortune are rendered totally destitute of support, and
others have at once been deprived of Property and Life, by the
expiration of their Leases—thus it may be truly said, that all are
become equal objects of public compassion. An appeal to the
humanity of the Public has already been made in Ireland and
Scotland, with considerable success ; and it is hoped that where
Charity is fed with such unbounded liberality, the event will not
be less favourable.
Benefactions will be received by Messrs. Morland and Co.,
Bankers. Pall-mall.

TO IRONMONGERS, &:.
HOLMES'S PATENT DOMESTIC OVENS,
without Flues, whichunite, in the highest degree, con-
venience, utility, and econeir.7. It is a fact well known, that all
Ovens hit berto contrived for the use of fans lies,which are attached
to kitchen ranges, owing to the flues, occasion a considerable loss
of fuel, as well as diminution of beat. lo obviate this great
disadvantage has been the study of the Inventor of the Patent Do-
mestic Ovens, which are without flues, and which, instead of di-
minishing, increase the heat, without the least additional fuel.
o. H. takes this method of informing the Trade in general, that
they may be supplied with them of three different sizes, with or
witl.out ranges ; as they heat without a flue, consequently there
is no danger of fire happening from them, which is so frequently
the case with those that have flues.
Reference to families of the first respectability will be given,
v:here the Ovens may be seen in use, and also mills Manufac-
tory, Castle-court, Strand, near Bedford-street ; and at Mr. Han-
son's, Ironmonger, Bruton-street, Bond-street; Mr Peachey,
