DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.

lIASTINGS, DECCMIIIIi 5.
his morning, at half-past eight, the visitants and
iiabitants of this town, were thrown into the greatest
igitation for the safety of a boat's crew, which was
=not more than two hundred yards from the shore,
ipposite the Priory, in the utmost distress. It appears
the Captain of the Industry, one tithe tenders be-
ing to the Severn,lreven ue cut ter,was off Hastings,
had sent thirteen seamen, belonging to the Pre-
've Set vice, in a boat to make the Priory Watch-,
,se; but scarcely had .he reached the breakers,
hen their danger was evident to every one who had
collected on the beach. particularly to the fisher-
= and seamen, who well understood and beheld
Mr distressed situation. The boat seemed to brave
thefirst and second breaker with apparent ease, but
the third proved fatal, for she heaved round and
ramped, whew thirteen poor men were seen endea-
Nearing to reach tl:e shore, but without success.—
Every praise is due to the fishermen for their indefa-
tigable ens tions, particularly a Mr. K NOWL ES, a Mid.
sipman in the Preventive Service, who jumped in.
at the risk of his life, and rescued one man from his
retilous situation. Fortunately two of the crew
reached the shore in safety ; one was taken out almost
lifeless, but by the a-sistance of medical aid, has been
restored; another has been taken out dead. Eight
alien are not yet found. One ni.fortunate man was
sect: riding upon one of the oars a considerable time,
beta powerful breaker came and swept him off, tc
fist no more It is now five o'clock, and we have not
received any intelligence of the eight men.

The changes in Administration are not so nume-
loos as have been reported, they are however ins-
portata, paoicularly so far as relates to Ireland.—
The Right Hon. ROBERT PEEL succeeds Lord Sin-
NOM in the office of Secretary of State for the Home
Department; hut his Lordship, we believe, will still
Dare a seat in the Cabinet. The Marquis W El. LES-
UT and Mr. GOULBURN succeed, as we also an-
monced on Saturday, Earl TALBOT and Mr. GRANT,
as Lord Lieutenant and Chief Secretary for Ireland.
'line succession of Mr. Goutnuna, in the Colonial
Department, is not yet finally an angel. The Duke
erMorrnose is about to resign his office of Master
((the Horse, which will be conferred upon the Duke
ci Donn.. The Duke of MONTROSE succeeds the
Marquis of Heal FORD, as Lord Chamberlain.
ViSCOUBt PERCEVAL has commenced his parties for
die season, in Henrietta-street. His Lordship's first
dinner was on Friday last.
VikOnt ENNISNIORE gave a splendid dinner yes-
*day to *large party, at his superb mansion, King-
son House, Ktsightsbi edge.
Lord MONTAGUE is enjoying the pleasure of retire-
bent at Ditton Park, Surrey.
It is with extreme regret we announce the death of
Colonel Seysioun, the son-in-law of the Marquis of
CIKILMONDELEY. This melancholy event took place
Sunday night, at Cholmondeley House, Piccadilly.
Colonel had been ill for some time, and had
never wholly recovered the fatal effects of the pesti-
diease he contracted when on duty with his
Regiment (the 3d Guards) at Walcheren. He was in
the prime of life, universally respected, and considered
one of the finest-looking men in his Majesty's ser-
tic& He has left an amiable wife and °Re chill.
