FitOM CIIARLESTON.—.We learn by the packet ship
Saluda, which left Charleston on the 3d instant, that the
new steamboat Thomas Lowndes, from Chat leston for
Hamburgh, took fire,. 40 Miles below the latter place,
and but fit to the water's edge. The passengers (.50 in
number) and crew, escaped with great precipitation, with
only what clothes they bid on. There was a large
quantity of merchandizeonn board. The loss, it was sup-
posed, would not fall much short of 100,000 dollars
Hunt, on his arrival on board the Hulk, at Wool-
wich, underwent, to him, a most unpleasant ceremony.
His fine curling locks and large whiskers were shorn
off ; and be was himself stripped and put into a tub of
water, where he was thoroughly scrubbed. He was
extremely amazed during this usual operation; but he
was still further to be assured of the privations of a con-
vict, for, instead of .being permitted to resume his own
clothes, he was attired in the costume of the other pri-
soners—coarse grey jacket, waistcoat, and trowsers,
yellow stockings, and worsted night-cap. He was
regarded by his new companions with a mixture of
curiosity and contempt. He will sail for New South.
%Vales by the first ship that is ready. His transporta-
tion is for life. He has been visited by Mr. HARMER
since his arrival in the hulk, and was extremely anxious
to see his mother and brother.
LORD N—'s LAST PUN.—At the Levee at Dublin
Castle, on Monday last, the Professor of Astronomy to
the College stopped longer than usual en being pre'',
seined to the LORD LIEUTENANT, and was evidently en-.
gaged in admiring the magnificent-Collar and Orders
with which his Excellency was decorated. After hay-
ing passed on, the Professor was accosted by Lord
N—, who said, 11 Isee. you never losse
sight of your profession—always an eye to business.";—.
44 How, my Lord?"—" Poh, poh, you have been star-
gazing for the last five minutes."
A woman of the Potteries, sending for some snuff, a
few days ago, in the afterrfoon' was asked by her hus-
band, what she had done with the half ounce she had.
bought that morning ? •' Half an ounce," she replied,
what is that for a woman giving suck !"
