A Match wu decided yesterday, for Twenty Guineas, be-
tween two Abos of St. Cris Fat, who should make the best boot in

match, in the line, and bets to a considerable amount were de-
pending, exclasive of the stakes. The 1111111 pegged away in fine
style, toe to toe, and the match was won by Moyle, beating his
antagonist. Eau:wick both performed their work well.

Saturday, as Lieutenant DUNCAN CAMPBELL, of
the Perthshire Militia, was fishing in the bum of,
Lawers, and standing on a piece of rock in the mid-
dle of the stream, a short distance from the point'
where it empties itself into the loch, he was so intent
on his sport as not to perceive the torrent behind him,
which, in consequence of a sudden fall of rain on Ben
Lawers, came rolling down with irresistible fumy,
and, sweeping Mr. CAMPBELL off the rock, carried
him into the lake, where he sunk, a considerable dis;
tance from the shore, and was drowned.

Ensign John Pinniger, on the half-pay of the Ist Foot, was

We learn from Cape Francais, under the date of the
25th of December, that President BOYER, after having
organized all the branches of the Administration in
the North of the Island, has transferred the seat of
Government to Port-au-Prince. A part of the troop:,
who had assembled from the West and the South to
overthrow the despotism of eniturrorag, have re-
turned to their garrisons. The widow of CRAISTOPHE
has retired, with her children, to Port-au-Prince; the
Parsingwr of the Republic has saved them from the
fury of the enemies of the tyrant. The widow of
DISSALIIIRS is now also in the same town, under the
immediate safeguard of President Boma.

Saturday last was the last Day of Driwing the
State Lottery, and it also terminated Messrs.-Siva-
WEIGHTS Contract with Government ; of course all
the Three L 21,000 Prizes, and other Capitals that
temaiaed in the Wheel, were then drawn. Two of
the Prizes of Twenty-one Thousand Pounds were
sold by that old favourite of Fortune, 131s11.—One
was sent to Dublin, where it was shared by Mr. CALL-
WILL, one of the Irish Office-keepers.—A new Con-
tract is to be made with Government this day, forl
another Lottery, and we hope Messrs. SI,KWRIOHTS
may again be the Contractors, as they not only make
very brilliant Schemes, but Fortune seems to smile
on their plans, for we always observe a great num-
ber of Capitals are distributed in their Contracts,
and in the last Contract alone there have been no
less than Seven Prizes of £21,000 shared, and Two
£21,000 sold in whole Tickets, besides an immense
number of minor Capitals

Astanzev, MAUCH 14.---. We have to state the almost total
loss, on this coast, of the whale-fishing ship the Hebe, of Huff, '
Captain COSEKS. She left Hull on Tuesday, the 6th inst. and
saw no land after passing Whitby ; but, on Friday evening lost,
about eight o'clock, with a strong gale at S. S.F.. white in the act
of taking in her topsails, the vessel struck, it is supposed, on the
Girdleness. She was going about eight knots an hour ; and the
shock having broke her rudder, and shattered the vessel, she
became quite unmanageable, and drifted to the Ws-award,
where she went ashore, about two miles to the southward of the
Ythan. Of the crew (forty-five in number), twenty-nine got to
land, about eleven o'clock, in three bums. The remaining six-
teen, including the master, clung to the chains, &c. where they
remained tilt six o'clock the next morning, when the fishermen
and others from the shore put off to their rescue. The vessel,
by this time, was breaking up ; and, with their utmost efforts,
they only succeeded la saving the master, and ten of the crew.—
The other five were successively swept off by the sea, and sunk
in the merciless ocean. One of these, Zechariah Hamby, the
cooper of the ship, has left a widow and seven children. Three
ethers were young mend namely, Francis Smith, 1:lah Pearson,
and Robert Laing; and the fifth was Nicholas Teignmouth, a
boy. The bodies of Z. Hornhy, F. Smith, and E. Pearsoo have
already been foetid, and decently interred. The vessel is nearly
a total loss, the whole coast bring strewed with her wreck.
Three boats, a few lines and sails, and a part of her casks, toter
ther with some of the large timber,, of the bull, &c. are ttl that
remain of this fine vessel, which had been fitted out in most
complete manner for the fishery, and was on bar second se.
