The Liverpool packet, Waterloo, proceeded on Tuesday, the
4th inst. at two o'clock, from Dublin, with an extraordinary
number of passengers. At night a very strong gale came on;
and, while off Holyhead, she sprung a leak. The Captain wished
to make the Head, but found ft impracticable. Whilst in the
most perilous situation (five feet water in the hold) a brig passed
close to the Waterloo, and was hailed by a hundred voices ; but
she proved callous to every appeal, and proceeded on her course,
leaving so many human beings to despair and death, This oc-
curred at eleven o'clock, while tire sea ran mountains high.—
Notwithstanding the violence of the wind, the main-sail conti-
nued unfurled, while the leakage alone engrossed the attention
of all. The soldiers and labourers on board arose from their
births, such as they were, forgot their sea-sickness, and worked
at the pumps, and also with buckets, in a manner which, under
circumstances, could not be conceived. There were six of his
Maatery's horses on board, one of them a remarkably fine ani-
mal, and a great favourite of his Maatssr ; this horse, and two
others, were drowned in the hold. Tivo of his 'Masser% car-
riages were on deck, and it appeared the general wish for some
time to heave them overboard. However, this wasposed by
Captain blaxwass. (a nautical Gentleman,* passengerop), by Ma-
jor SLATIOL, and another Gentleman, with such effect, that the
idea was abandoned. His blaresry's coachman, who was on
board, wept bitterly for the Ktwo's favourite horse. " I care
not for the carriages," said he, " we can build carriages, but we
cannot baud such a horse !" Captain Maerreet insisted on the
main-sail being taken down :it was so; and to this, and the con-
tinued efforts of the soldiers and peasantry, aided by the crew of
the packet, she arrived at Liverpool at two o'clock on Wednesday.
The intrepid conduct of Mr. BA Ramaymr, Midshipman of the
Seetsezn, now lying at the Cove of Cork, is the subject of much
merited approbation. While walking on the quarter-deck of that
vessel on Saturday se'nnight, a boy who was in the rigging lost
his hold and fell from a great height into the sea; for some time
he could not be discerned, there being a heavy swell, but when
at length he was observed, and that it was manifest he could not
swim, Mr. Bemuse:Tom plunged fearlessly in, without waiting
to divest himself of any part of his clothing but a heavy top coat,
and having come up with the boy, seized and upheld hint for a
considerable time, until one of the ship's boats arrived, when
both were taken in, the boy being much exhausted. The above
young Gentleman is a native of Limerick, and son of Jostens
ataanitrrow, Esq. He has frequently distinguished himself
during the late war, but particularly when attached to the Im-
ritECINAILZ, at the memorable attack on Algiers by Lord F.xstorrn,
in which engagement he bore a very conspicuous part,was slightly
wounded in the thigh, and received the marked approbation of
the above Nobleman.—Listeride Advertiser.
An unlucky circumstance occurred off Kerry
Head, on Friday evening se'nnight. His Majesty's
sloop of war REDWING fell in with the HARRIET
revenue cruiser, Captain TANny, and, supposing it
to be a smuggler, filed several shots into her, and
continued to do so for a considerable time; it was
not until the boats of the REDWING were preparing to
board the HARRIET, the mistake was discovered. One
of the crew was killed. The I-IA RIET has been but very
lately commissioned, only on her first cruize, and was
formerly a French lugger, in which craft she remains,
and which confirmed the Captain of the REDWING in
his being a smuggler, having never before seen her
on the coast. The firing was heard distinctly for a
considerable time off the Ballyheige shore, and up-
wards of forty shots were fired, accompanied by re-
peated cheers from each vessel. Oa the Kerry coast
it was reported to have been a running engagements
between the VANDELEun Revenue cruizer and al
smuggling lugger, as the latter was observed retiring
from the shore.
Of the 273,000,000 of individuals who inhabit
Europe, there are said to be 17,900,000 beggars, or
persons who subsist at the expense of the community,
without contributing to its resources.
PROPIIECL—It was predicted by an astrologer in
this 17th century, that the year 1822 would be fatal
to the Turkish Empire; that it would suffer grievous
calamities, Ard might perhal,s be even &buoyed.
