the Cau,eway,iii Cardigan Bay, and sunk in soren fathoms water—
one man saved, ten drowned; six were seen in the rigging. The
Preventive boat has gone one to save the latter. This vessel, no

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
" Pal.Lests, JAN. 3, 1825.

Saturday night last the Diamond, from New York
for Liverpool, laden with cotton, struck on the Cause-
way, near the E-44 end, in Cardigay Bay, and sunk.—
An express came to me last night for a vessel or boat
to go off directly, to take six men from the rigging.
The preventive boat immediately went, and I hope
was suceeetful ; it has not yeti eturned. It is reported that
ten men are drowned ; one man only got safe on shore."
It is reported that a letter has been received in town
from Beaumaris, stating that 30 persons have been
saved from the Diamond.

PROSLCUIION OF THE RE V. SIR HARCOURT'

L.EES, BART.

FROM THE DUBLIN SIORNiNO POST.

The proprietors of the Antidote Newspaper have been
applied to by the Crown Solicitor, to give up the ma-
nuscript of a letter, signed " Harcourt Lees, which ap-
peased in that publication some days ago, in order that
the author might be prosecuted. In case of the manu-
script not being given up, it was stated that the pub.
fishers should be prosecuted. This proceeding it WA
which gave rise to the report in tirculation,o Sir ll4E-
court himself being to be prosecuted;. which tepoit
having teached the ears of the Rev. Grand Otange
Chaplain, he wrote to the Crown Solicitor to know how
the fact stood ? The Crown Solicitor milted, stating
the steps that had been taken for the obtaining of the
maniisclier, and asking the Rev. Baronet if he was pre-
pared to avow himself the author, and meet the conse-
quences? The Rev. Grand Chaplain, in .eply to the
Crown Solicitor, avowed'himsell the author of the letter
in question; he had no objection to the manuscript
being given up; and he defied the whole of his Ma-
jesty's Counsel at Law to decipher two lines of it ! We
give these particulars on the authority of the Reverend
and Worthy Baronet himself, and we can bear testimony
to the fact, that not even one line of his manuscript can
be deciphered, unles he attends in pet son to read it for
the Crown Solicitor. Such of his manuscripts as we
have published in the Morning Post, he has read him-
self to vur Printer, to make them intelligible.

Saturday, his Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT of!
IRRI.AND entertained a numerous but select p lily at dinner, at the

company were highly gratified with his Excellency's dignified and
polite attention, and did not separate until a late hour. l'resent—

A subscription has been raised at Deal, Walmer, Bc.c.
for the boatmen of Deal, who at the hazard of their own
lives, saved a part of the crew of the Belina West India-
man, which was wrecked op the Gouck in Sands, during
the storm on the morning of the 23d November last.
JOLLY TARS.—When the " Golden" Hertnione, in
the seven years' war, took the Spanish galleon, or gal-
loon, as the sailors call her, the foremast-men shared
to the tune of 5001. a-piece, a sum which of course
they concluded could never be ezpeaded in the -com-
mon routine of domestic life. In older to conquer this
difficulty, they devised many ingenious methods, such
as filling a frying-pan with watches from each fob, and
frying them over the galley-fire; subscribing a sum or
money to gild the ship's head, and carved la ork ; and
it was. moreover unanimously resolved, that every man
on board should wear a gold-laced hat, and every
cocoa-nut was with all convenient speed provided with
a gold-laced cocked hat, save one—this unhappy %tight
presented himself to his shipmates with a silver-laced
hat. This would not do; the ship was disgraced by
such d—d stinginess—it Let's ask the First Lee-
tenant not to let him come on board." The supposed
culprit begged a hearing—Jack hives fair play ; si
lence was obtained, and the delinquent thus pleaded
his cause There was'nl a goold laced hat in the
town, so I was forced to take this here; but I made
the fellow take the money for a goold-lacer all the
same." On these last words reaching the ears of his
comrades, he was received on board with a universal
greeting and acclamation.
