DEAL, MARCH 10.

Came down from the River several sail of outward-
bound and sailed tinder convoy of the OLYMPIA cutter
for Portsmouth—among them are the Friendship for
Demerara, Mary for l'obago, Maria-Caroline for
Passages, Sanderson and Eclipse for Spain.

HARWICH, MARCH 10.
Sailed the Lord Duncan and the Francis Freeling
packets, with-mails and passengers, for Helvoetsluys.
EDINBURGH, MARCH 7.
We regret to state the melancholy loss of the smack
Lord Dundas, (packet) Luba, of Aberdeen, with all
on board, on R aurn-head. The Lord Dundas sailed
from Aberdeen for Frasetburgh, on Monday afternoon
last, with nearly a full cargo of valuable goods, as
also the rigging and materials for a new vessel ; and
after having, as is supposed, kept to windward during
the hard gale from the southward the same_ night,
had, in the calm which succeeded on Tuesday, withA
• vy scares thia4:o2o, been 4-riven an the fatal
of Rattra-head, where the vessel was, no doubt, im-
mediately-n total wreck. The crew consisted of fo'ir
persons, two of whom have left helpless young fami-
lies, for whose relief, we understand, subscriptions
have been opened ; and there were also on board, the
wife of a shipmaster and her child, passengers; the
body of the latter has been cast ashore. One pipe and
two hogsheads of wine, some casks of porter, and s?
veral sacks of (tour, have been saved ; and hopes are
entertained that more of the cargo, And part of the
materials of the vessel, may be recovered.

The old gaol of Glasgow, built in the reign of
CHARLES I. the architect of which was Sir WILLIAM
BRUCE, is now pulling down. In the front was the
following inscription:
" Hr-c domus odit, mat, punit, conservat, honerat,
" Nequitiens, peens, ctimina, jura,probos."

During the late severe weather, a covey of eieit
partridges came every morning to the front door of
White Lackington House, Dorset, and were fe.l there
for some time by Mr. HEXT, the occupier. In :t few
days, another covey of nine came, and were kJ with
barley every day, and at length they came into the
passage of the dwelling-house. Many long battles
were fought between the two covies, insomuch t! at
they were taken up by Mr. HEXT, and set at liberty
again. This continued during .the mete weather,
and when it was over they all departed.
KILKENNY, FEB. 23.—1 t is with inexpressible con-
cern that we have to give publicity to an act of the
'most daring and diabolical description. Yesterday
morning, about four o'clock, the bons of James Sut-
liffe, steward to Robert St. George, Esq. near Fresh-
ford, in this county, was forcibly entered by one or
more rtiffian,s, one of whom approached the bed in
whist) Sutliffe, with his -wife and infant child, was
reposing, and demanded his arms. Sad; ffe said he
bad, none ;, to which the villain answered, that he
lied, and ordered him to get up. The unfortunate
man finding the ruflidn determined, obeyed him ;
but scarcely had he set his foot on the floor, when he
was bred as, and received a musket ball in his
left iide. He staggered to the bed side, and ex-
claimed—" Loan have mercy upon me !" fell, and
immediately expired. In the course of the day an
Inquest was held on the lagdy, when a verdict was re-
turned—Wilful Murder against sore person or per-
sons unknown. The unfortunate Sutliffe has left a
widow and five young children to mourn his untime-
y tate.

A STRONG Box.—A family who lately lived in the
neighbourhood of Newcastle, not very notorious for
their sobriety, used frequently to have a row about
the rapid decline of their finances. One of them, who
earned more money than the rest, generally had his
pockets lightened between night and morning, which
induced him to seek a place of greater security for
his cash. Various depositories were resorted to, but
without success, till at length he fixed on the Bible, in
which his money lay sacred and undisturbed. The
toper used afterwards frequently to boast, among his
companions, that the Family Bible was the only place
of security in the house !
Mr. Wurrna can gave a grand dinner yesterday to
to the Earl of Essu and a select party, at his house
is Dover•street.
