LOSS OF THE ALERT.
The Willa Journal of Monday contains some fur-
.ther particulars of this melancholy event, the truth
of which, it says, has been ascertained.
The vessel did not answer her helm well ; the wind
vas light, and rather against the packet; and the
fatal error in the Captain was his not dropping anchor
silien near the current. A survivor states that the
consternation became general when the danger was
first announced; they were then nine miles from
Holyhead, and about one and a half from the
shore; the wind brit( altogether failed them, and they
were forced forward by the current, going at the
rate of eight knots an hour, against the Westmouse
Rock. Mr. Hore and another Gentleman (Mr. Mac-
kenzie) were, at half-past nine o'clock, at breakfast
in the cabin; and on the first intimation of alarm,
which was scarcely credited, all came on deck; the
small boat attempted to avert the danger, and tow
the vessel clear of the rock, but in vain; she struck at
ten, a.m. All yielded themselves up to despair, and the
affrighted crew received in the boat some who were
fortunate enough to reach it at this crisis. A few of
those-onboard in vain essayed to bail here Mr. Hore
and Mr. *Kenzie laboured with buckets for some
time; of the numbers thus dreadfully situated, none
manifested so much coolness and self-possession, so
mach intrepidity and humanity as Mr. Hore, be di-
rected and soothed, by turns ; his noble disposition
displayed itself strikingly, for while surrounded with
horrors, while encircled by the terror-struck and
shrieking females, and helpless infants, while sinking
into the jaws of death, he alone was calm and serene.
' At list the sea covered the deck, and numbers were
overwhelmed. The Captain plunged inta the waves,
' and was picked up. Mr. *Kenzie laid hold of a
large hamper or crate, containing eggs, several of
which were on the deck, and kept afloat. Mr. Hove
and a steerage passenger grasped another crate ; the
small boat bad by this time reached the shore. After
being in this horrible situation about 20 minutes, as
Mr. Hore's last companion states, Mr. Hore ex-
claimed that he was becoming faint; he asked if any
boat appeared in sight? he was answered in the ne-
gative--" 0 ! GOD ! he cried, no succour, no aid—
;my limbs arc benumbed and useless—l can hold on
i no knger!"—he fell from the crate and never rose
again. In about 20 minutes after Mr. Hore perished,
the small boat returned, and rescued Mr. M.Kenzie.
No Gentleman named Colonel or Major Kelly pe-
rished ; but another, in whose pocket a bill endorsed
with the name of Kelly, was said to resemble Lieut.-
Colonel Kelly. This gave rise to the late rumour.—
There were thirteen passengers saved, ten of whom
were put on shore by the boat on the nearest coast.—
One, of gentleman-like appearance, who was under-
stood to be a respectable Liverpool tradesman,
escaped with the Captain, and proceeded on to Liver-
pool last Wednesday with him. Three deck passengers
were saved by the boat, and put on shore at Holy-
head. There were 29 dead bodies in the Church at
Holyhead ; 34 were washed on shore at the part of
the coast above alluded to. On the body of a Lady
found at Holyhead, were discovered letters directed
to Mrs. A. W. The father and brother of Miss Atkins,
. cf the Theatre Royal, were also among the sufferers.
Among the cabin passengers reported to have been
booked at the Office, is Mr. Bennisoit, of Bachelor's•
ualk—fortunately for that Gentleman he was not ois
board. Mr. Coote was also reported, erroneously, to,
be one of the sufferers. But this Gentleman, who was
booked as a cabin passenger, happily altered his in-
tention to go to Liverpool, and left the Hibernian
Hotel, on Tuesday morning, for Holyhead. The
Batts of the luckless packet were visible yesterday ;
•sotraltrutrks and packages have been preserved.

A few Papers from Virginia, of a late date, have
cane to hand, from which we extract the following:
"GALLANT Darawcz.—Vre have obtained the fol.
I°.'ing particulars of an action with the Pirates, off
laiai,zas, in which they were gallantly defeated by
11‘,e brigs Abeona, Captain Blinn, of this port ; Bow-
-4107, Captain Carr, of Warren (arrived at Newport);
a"d Nepttine, Captain Barton, of Bristol. These ves.
sets sailed from Matanzas on the Sd inst. in corn-
VI: four hours after sailing they were chased -and
acme tip with (about eight miles from Matanzas) -by
piratical schooner, mounting one large' gun pn a
;170t,and supposed to be manned with Variablen.
The Pirate hailed the Captains of the brigs and or
deted them to surrender, otherwise no quarter should
pe given them. The Captains answered that they
ie.
4zpetted none, and should defend their vessels to the
4'
1,.. The Pirate immediately commenced the action
°Ychscharging his large gun, and giving three cheers,
w'et`s was puomptly returned by the brigs ; and after
4 action of one hour and a half, ,they obliged the
Pate
to haul off, damaged considerably ; judging
ITCII the confusion they were in, there must have
ueen /great number of the pirates killed or wounded;
t-'el tome up with 16 sweeps, and used seven only
,
n they hauled off. The brigs were so near the
piratical schooner, that the Captains saw people on
hoard whom they had traded with at Matanzas. fhe
fated Ont patted company with the other brigs after
letting through the passage; the Abeona was bounti

AGRICULTURAL SWEEPSTAKES.
The judges appointed to decide in the competition for the
Turnip Sweepstakes in Kincardineshire, for 1822, have after a

BOXING, BULL-BAITING, tee.
The Commissary-General's ;amity bull afforded some excellent
sport yesterday, at the five nines/oh on the Edgewart road, when
some of the beat bred buffers bad the wind tossed out of them.
Thefenciers mustered strong, and a subscription purse for a
fight was b0(111 got together. It produced a very merry one be-
tween Moak, and Kilburn Ton, his travelling name. Tom was
much heavier than his adversary, and although Riddel fought up
hill the whole time, yet he made very severe play. Ile drew
first blood at setting to, but he was grassed for it.
2. A manly stand up round, in which the claret flew about in
streandets. In a rally many blows were exchanged, and Tom
sheered himself master of the weaving art, but his adversary
slipped through his hands and fell covered ith claret and glory.
3 and 4. Tom's strength served bbts . materially in these two
rounds, and he led, kept the best of It, and threw his than a heavy
fall, but his exertion set him piping and heaving at the pompeg.
dr Riddel placed a lunging blow on the tip of the sorrow, whirls
set Tom shaking his nob. The blow was followed by aright-
handed one upon the mark, which sent Tom down sulky.
In the four following rounds there was much maply.anilling.
Give and tate was the order of battle, with equal advantages.,
but they sheered- want of training.
10. Judges began to pick out the Winner: Riddel had brought
dove his adversary's-weight, and took the lead. There was;
however, considerable punishment en both sides, but in each
round Tom got weaker, and in the siateentkround Riddel wan
the battle by a hit in the wind.
Seams axis Near.—Thefornser left Mr. Hancock's, in Little
St. James'e.etreet, on Tuesday, for Brighton, in .training. He
will return'to his old training placket Reigate, in a fortnight.—

EASTER MONDAY.
Easter Monday the grand Annual Hunt took place, which
was attended by •the greatest field of sportsmen of all ranks that
there has been this season, who assembled at Farnham Common,
soon after nine o'clock ; and a little after ten a fine deer was
turned out of the cart for the day's diversion, which set off with
great swiftness across the country to the right of Amersham. In
the course of the chace the bounds got scent of a fox, which they
followed for some time, and by so doing, the deer got a great
way ahead. and they were obliged to take the hounds back ;
they then renewed the chace' through the luclosures and fields
by the Earl of Bridgewater's and Hemel Hempstead ; the deer
was taken at Gaddesdeo, in Hertfordshire, a few miles to the
left of St. Alban's, after a run of upwards of four hunts, theist
36 miles from Windsor. Many of the sportsmen gave up the
Chace ; sane went 20 miles, and some 30 ; many fine horses
were obliged to give up the chace. Some lost their shoes ; others
tumb and broke their knees. The huntsman, attend..
ants, aidlotkothretUrned on Tuesday morning; they could not

Cast:44las the-plaintiff, who is a farmer, antt she de-'
fendant, who is a butcher, are both inbabitants,of the.
parish of Sheerharn, in Surrey. During the time that
the plaintiff Was attending-Diiine Service --attil
riiit Chervil on. Christmas-day, a brother of the de-'
fenclartn • along with several ocher idle boys; .went to
the plaintiff's house, and, after creating a consider-
able riot before it, concluded their sports by breaking
his windows. The plaintiff not altogether admiring
this mode of treatment,, applied to the Magistrates
'for redress ; and the consequence of this application
was; that the brother of the defendant was sentenced
to pay a fine, and to be imprisoned till that fine was
'paid. From this circumstance it was supposed that
the malice had arisen, which had induced the defen.'
dint to commit that assault upon the plaintiff which
led to the present action. On the 27th of December
last, the defendant went to the plaintiff's house, and,
after telling him that his father was very much vexed
by the proceedings which had been taken against his
brother, proceeded to complain of the conduct of a
maid-servant of the plaintiff. , The plaintiff said he
would call the servant to answer for herself. The
defendant said that it was quite unnecessary to do so,
and began to be veil' abusive. The plaintiff then de-
sired the defendant to leave his house; the defendant
refused, and in consequence the plaintiff gave him
two or three gentle pushes. The defendant then left
the house, and the plaintiff wishing to see him fairly
off his premises, accompanied him through a meadow
which was in front of it. Whilst they were crossing
the field, the defendant turned round on the plaintiff,
offered to tight him, and without any farther notice,
hit him a blow on the right temple and brought him
to the ground. Whilst the plaintiff was in this pro-
strate condition, the defendant struck him violently
about the body, and continued to do so till one of the
plaintiff's servants-came up, who heard the defendant
say—" Now I will go, if you will let me."—Undef
these circumstances the plaintiff came before a Jury
of his country to demand of them, not extravagant
damages, but such serious damages as would pre-
vent the defendant from recurring to such acts of
violence in future.

Sarah Ensor, servant to the plaintiff, deposed that
on the 27th of December last, the defendant, or the
butcher, as she always called him, called on her mas-
ter between three and four o'clock ,in the afternoon r
that she heard them conversing very loudly, though
she could not tell what they said; that she afterwards
hard her master tell the defendant to quit his pre-
mises, and on his refusal gave him first one„ and then
another gentle shove; that she then saw bdth parties
go into the meadow;' that when there the butcher
challenged her master to fight, and attempted to take
off his coat ; that her master said—" I don't want
your coat off—l want you out of my premises;" that
the butcher then struck her master over the eye, and
that she, being frightened, ran to a man-servant who
was thrashing in the barn, to call upon, him to assist
her master; that the butcher had lately offered her
first one guinea,.and afterwards two guineas, if she
would pot appear as an evidence against him.
On her cross-examination, she said that she never
had heard of her master sending any boys to prison
for killing sparrows—that she never heard the plain-
tiff say to the defendant "13—n you and your father
too ;' that the defendant did go against the wall aftei
one of the gentle shoves that her master gave him,
but she could not tell whether it was in consequence.
of it ; and that she never had said to anybody that
her master had regretted that he had not knoiketi
the butcher's head off. Being desired to point oar
the parties to the action, she pointed out two .mes.
one in stature about five feet ten; the other aboutfotir
feet ten; each with a bulk proportional to his height.
Great laughter was elicited in Court when she pointed
out the lesser man as the person who had committed
the assault.

Thomas Mercer deposed, that being called upon to
run and prevent the butcher from killing his master,
be unto the place where the squabble was going on.
On arriving there, he found his master defending
himself against a blow of the butcher; shoitly after
his master fell, and the butcher clic:Lail that • he could
to keep him down. Whilst on the ground, the butcher
repeatedly said, "Now I'll go, if you will let me."
Mr. Serjeant Tansy, for the defendant, contended
that it must be quite clear from the evidence of the
dther side, that hit client had been unwillingly en-
'gaged in this contest.. Indeed, it was not likely. that
a mat of the diminutive siaeof his client would ever
attack such a giant as .the prosecutor was relatively
to him. Even if they were of opinion that his client
had been the aggressnr, he thought -that, • under the
circumstances Which had been proved in evidence, one
farthing damages would -meet the justicehol.the.case.
The Cate, Dwitou thin-summed op tbe, evidence,
and the Jury immediately teturned a verdict for the
plaiatili—Datnates thie Shilling.

Joseph HoOper and Chokt Boititick4ciongi men of
'respectable appearance, wereindieted for. assaulting
Robert Johnson, on the King's highway, in the parish
of St.Olave, Southwark, and taking from his person.
a watch and seals, and ss. in money. There were
'six other indictments against the same prisoners for.'
differeeent offences of the same nature. • i
It appeared in evidence, that on Sunday evening,
the 28d of March, the prosecutor was. walking with.
I a young -woman in a footpath between.llerniondsey
and Pecithatn,when he was overtakeniry th ree men. One
of them sized him by. the collar, put.a pistol to his
head, and demanded his money. He begged they would
not take his.wittch. The nun. who held, the pistol
insisted upon having it, and snatched it, whilst the,
other men held him by the.collar. They took about
ten shillings from his pocket. •The assailants then
ran off. The man who had the pistol lookeclround,
and told him to return back to Peckham whence he
came, and threatened to blow out his brains. In con-
sequence
of the information he gave, the two pri-
soners were apprehended about a week afterwards.
The prosecutor would not swear to their identity, but
expressed his belief that they were two of the persons
who had robbed him. Upon searcl3ing the lodgings
*title prisoner Bootlick, fir of six • watches were-
found, one of which turned out to be the property of
the prosecutor. Ut some coats, in the same pri-
soner's premises, wet found two huded

surrendered himself willingly.

.several reputable persons, who, bad long knowirthero•

The prisoners were again indicted for a similar
robbery, in stealing from the person of Benjamin
,Coles a metal watch and 20s. at Bermondsey, on the
21st of December. •The prosecutor stated, that he
was a clerk in the Bankof England, living in ..Ivaany-
row, Camberwell ; and on the evening of the 2lst
December last, he was walking with a female in Ber-
mondsey-road, when two men came behind hiip, one

. , a
short, and the other a tall man, and seized him by
the collar. The taller man demanded his blunt, and
at the same instant presented. a .pistol to his head.
Not knowing the meaning of the word blunt, he hesi-
tated; upon which the same man said " Re quick;
. you know what we want : one word and I'll fire, by
G—d." The prosecutor then took a few shillings
out of his pocket, and gave them to the robbers. The
I tall man then said, " Has he a taller ?", The shorter
man then felt his fob, and drew forth a metal watch,
and both then ran oti. Looking at the pt isoners now.
they bore every resemblance to the men %Ito robbed
him on the night in question. He spoke more posi-
tively to the taller man, who was the prisoner Hooper.
He had seen the prisoners nine days after the robbery.
His belief now was, that the prisoners were the per-
sons who had robbed him. Indeed be had no doubt
as to Hooper. At Union Hall, he bitdoktly said that
he had every reason to believi that Hooper was one
of the men. Evidence similar tot at given in the last
case was also addu-ced in this. I.4.Nyaich was never
afterwards found.
The Jury found hith.prieoriers Not Guilty.
The prisoners were again severally indicted for
similar robberies irf„Alr. Jekin Rhein, a student of
Guy's Hospital, .and a Mr. Henry HarieY, but for
want of sufficient proofs of identity, verdicts of Not
Guilty were recorded.
The prisoners then.pleaded guilty to an indictment
for an assault with intent to rob Mr. Henry Marsh,
at Rotherhithe. The prisoner Hooper was sentenced
to seven years transportation ; the other prisoner re-
ceived sentence of Death., . , •

•TAIAL OP MR. SAMUEL SMYTH, 01 MADDEN, ACCUSED
07 BEING ACCESSARY, WITH OTHERS, TO THE
MURDER 01 PATRICK GURMLY, OR ORIMLWAT,
CLOUGHKIERAN, lIN THE 12TH OPJULY LASY.
• 'MT, M /SCA RTN (leading Counsel for the Crown)
tuned the case to the Jury. ..He expressed his sorrow
to find a person of such respectable appearance as
the prisoner—and at such an early period of life—'l
indicAd at the bar inr the crime of murder. The,
-mime was stated to have been perpetrated on the 12th
of %Tilly last ; on which day an assemblage of people
• had collected together, distinguished by badges and
colours—armed with swords and other weapons, to
commemorate a battle that was fought upwards of a
-hundred years ago-. It would, he said, be proved to
-the Jury, that on the day specified, certain indivi-
duals of the numerous body hehad described,amongst
,whom was the prisoner, had met Patrick Grimley,
-the unfortunate deceased, on the road between Mid-
dleton and Armagh, and, without any provocation,
heat, stabbed, and barbarously used him; of which
.he lingered till the 16th, and then expired.—i The
-Learned Gentleman then entered into a long argu-
ment, in which he deprecated the policy-et such pro-
cessions and assemblages. He commended the pro--
priety of commemorating, by monuments and other-
-wise, the achievements of our great Naval and Mili-
tary Commanders over foreign • foes, and instanced
the national monuments erected to the immortal Nel-
:ann, and our own victorious countryman the Duke of
'Wellington. Quire different, indeed (said Mr. Ma-
.eartney), are- the exploits achieved in a civil war,
where the nearest relatives may be opposed to each
other, brother against brother, and friend against'
friend. He contended, that the remembrance of such
unfortunate feuds7-teuds to be deeply deplored by
all, instead of being perpetuated, ought, by unani-
mous consent, to be buried in oblivion. After enter-
ing into a history of the transactions accompanying
the civil wars in this country, he commented on the
bad policy of ce:ehrating; by. annual processions, the
events arising from sach domestic contention, which
tended ni irritate the larger portion of the inhabit-
-ants, and chefish feelings which were injurious to the
welfare of the community. He proceeded to detail
the occurrences connected with the perpetration of
the clime for. which the prisoner was then on trial;
.ard said that the facts would be. proved by a chain
of evidence.—The first witness produced was-
- Francis Grimley—He lives. in Cloughkieran ; re-
members the 12th July last, was in Cloughkieran
-that day ; knew Pat. Gristiley,- Who was a distant re-
lation of his; .saw him thatday atter he had received:
Abase; he was lying coveted with blood in the house
,of Owen Canavan ; he was- then alive.* Had seen 4
number of people assembled there shortly before that
time ; there was no man among-them whom witness
'knew, except -Mathew Armstrong ; the persons whom
he saw had scarfs over their shoulders, and ribbons
round their hats; did not take notice whether they •
had any aims or not; P. Grimley is since•clead ; when
witness first saw the party they were on the broad
toad fm their way towards AT magh ; does not see-any

him in the hou-e ; tlrc Orangemen went peaceably
.p-rot the first time.
Edward Loughran—ls a surgeon; visited a man
nimed P. Grimley on . the 12th July ; he appeared
-insensible when witness first saw him ; raised -him up
and he appeared ineokerian; he had several wounds
in the head r some of them appeared to have .been
-inflicted brasharp instrument, and others by a blunt
-instrument # four wounds proceeded from a sharp in-
strument ; there was a severe contusion on the back
part of the head from ablaut instrument ; thinks the .
wounds received in- the -head. were the cause of his
-death ;•havuo -doubt of it ; is not certain how long-

John Leburn-Elt was objected on the part of the
prosecution, that this witness could not be examined,
on account of being indicted himself for the same of-1
fence, but the Judge over-ruled the objection j.—This
witness saw two or three Men beating deceased before
Mr.. Smyth came up ; was on the edge of the road,

men to go home; did not see anything more. On the
16th witness was taken prisoner by a large crowd of
people, who dragged him to Cloughkieran, and
gathered the people about him, and asked, was there
no man to swear against the rascal ; witness asked if
they had a warrant ; they did not produce one.
Cross-examined.— Witness is to be tried himself for
the affair ; he swore the truth. 1

Other witnesses corroborated the previous testimony.
The entire evidence having been gone through, the
Learned Judge proceeded (about a quarter before five
o'clock) to recapitulate the evidence to the. Jury. His
Lordship did not conclude his address till half-past
six o'clock. After which the Jury retired for a few
minutes, and returned with a verdict of—Not Guilty.
The euurt-House and .the avenues leading to it
were crowded to, excess the entire day. • Intense in-
terest-for the result seemed to be excited; and after•
the acquittal Mr. Smyth was followed and cheered
from this Court-House by an immense multitude. During
the•trial Joseph Pollock, Esq. late Assistant Barrister
for this county, and one or two other'friends sat with
Mr. Smyth, Who, thotigh a very young man, seemed
perfectly composed and undismayed.

MONAGHAN.
At the Monaghan Assizes, James Bernard and Ed-
ward Kelly, were indicted for wilfully and malici-
ously pulling down and destroying a certain tene-
ment (a school-house), in the month of December last,
the property of David Dunne. In his charge to the
Jury, the Hon. Baron MgCt.zu, Arn remarked, 44 The
oftener I preside at these Assizes, the more do I find,
'try the cases that come before me, that this county is
rapidly going back to a dark and benighted state.—
to an age•cf barbarian ignorance. Of this fact, the
case before you is a striking instance. I did not think
that arty county in the province of Ulster was in such
a deplorable•state. .When-discharging my duties at
the Special Commission in the South lately, I rarely
found instances of such blinded infatuation, distem-
pered A:clings, and besotted bigotry, •as have been
manifested in this county." The Jury having returned
a verdict of 'Guilty, his Lordship then sentenced them
to be imprisoned one year.

threats, however, had the contrary erect of what was desiitil,l
for the inhabitants, &c. who were anxious to put an end to tots
desperate scenes as have taken place at West End and Stepce,

portunity of their case being heard. The Magistrates who as.
sembled at the Palace Tavern, Kensington, on Tuesday, .6
district business, reconsidered the cast; but after the ampler
consideration, they decided against the continuance of liruei
