The KOlll Family, in consequence of the unfa-
vourabk state of the weather, have been confined to
the Pavilion, the Duke of CLARENCI excepted, who
has taken his usual promenade on the Steyne s and,
damp as the weather was, many'persons of rank were
induced to follow his Royal Highness's example.
The morn was ushered in by the ringing of bells,
and preparations were making in the early part of
the day for an illumination in the evening, in compli-
ment to the Princess CHARLOTTE, whose natal day
was yesterday; but a desire was expressed that this
mark of, respect and loyalty from the town might be
dispensed with.

Tire Ann and Elizabeth, Moira master, from
Fowey to London, was driven on shore on the Isle of
Shippey, during the late tremendous gales, when a
great part of the cargo was lost, and almost all the
moveable timber, iron work, and cordage, were taken
away by the people on shore, as were also the clnetlis
ami provisions belonging to the sailors. The hull of
the vessel has since been floated off, and hopes are en-1
tertained of recovering a part of the plundered pro-
perty.
The Alicia, Amuses bound to Lisbon, has put

The Potsdam, --, from Surinam, is arrived at
Corunna, rather leaky, and it is supposed must dis-
charge part of her cargo.
Several firkins of butter have been picked up lately
at Scilly.—N. B. The Endeavour, WOODMAN, sailed
irons Cork for Plymouth and Soutlipmpton, the 26th
of October, and has not since. been heard of. She,
or some other vessel is supposed to have been lost on
the Seven Stones.

The shipwrights sent from Chatham Yard to Ca-
nada, about a year and a half ago, are returned, and
have been in the coarse of the week re-entered into
the Dock-yard at Chatham.
The recent success that attended discharging guns
without the application of fire, has proved how im-
portant the method might be on service, either at sea
or in the field. When the Leipsic brig was wrecked
on the bar at Yarmouth, the force of the wind was'so
extreme, and the sea breaking so furiously over the
pier head, that a match could not be kept lighted to
explode the mortar with : fortunately Lieutenant
WOODGER had with him tubes primed with a mixture
of hyper oxymuriate of pot-ash and sugar candy; also
a bottle of sulphuric acid; which, on his applying a
small quantity of the latter to the former ingredients,
produced the instantaneous ignition consequent on
their coming in contact, otherwise, it is probable, the
mortar could not have been fired, arid the crew•would
have been lost.

Last-week, a poor woman, named Eliz. Crane, the
wife of a Serjeant of Marines, lately discharged, was
passing in the dark from the back oFthe Lord Nelson
public-house, at Brompton, to her dwelling, she fell
into the well, which is of immense depth, and re-
mained there two days without beingdiscovered. Sbe
was taken up quite dead.

IRISH CATHOLICS.

Mtsnow to Roam—The Pops has declined ini
reply to the Address and Remonstrance of the Ag.
~reaate Meeting; it hai been conveyed to those who
mad,- the inquiry, that an answer would be oilcan in
the British Parliament. Cardinal I.irr*. shoat, J 4.
positions Were comparatively favourable to the Viewt
of the Irish Catholic Prelates, has been kinnved to
Milan, under the pretext. cr for ae purpose 4 eon-
ducting their Imperial M stirs to It 'me ; and Car.
dinal Gemsmvt, an undoubted Vetoist, has been
pointed in his stead. It will he recollectech that this
Cardinal was the Missionar, of the Pore z the PRINCE
REGENT, and has been more no .shed to the Catho.
lico-Ecclesi istical views of the British Cabinet, there
any other Member of the 6, S icrcd College." His
appointment is, therefore, ominous that the roirpose
of the Po is irrevocable, unless the Irish Prelates
might encourage hope and huger for the return of
their friend LITTA ; it has been communicated to
theni, that he would not return before two months.--
(Dalin Evening Post.)
A 1 'advertisement has been put into the Papers to
announce, that the Rev. Mr: HAVES, whop was ordered
by three or four Gentlemen, calling themselves the
Catholics of Ireland, to leave the Deputation, to
which he was appointed Secretary, behind him, and
proceed himselt to Rome to teach politics and divi.
nity to the Pontiff and the Sacred College, has got
himself into serious pecuniary embarrassments, and
is, in short, unable to return to his native country
without the aid of ~ the Public." It would seem
that certain promises were Made to him on his de-
parture, and that he calculated on ample means of
meeting all expenses ; it is even laid, that he was
told he may " draw for any slim" on an individual
who took muds interest in the objects cf h's journey;
in the end, however, it turns out, that it had been his
lot, as well at that of m:tny others, to he duped and
clesexted—the bills were drawn according to direction
:tad invitation, but when they came to be prectnted
for acceptance, no one could be found who kneeu any
thing about them ! Of all the transactions that have
y:1 occurred this is the most curious. It developes
more of the real character of our modern patriots
than the most ponderous quarto could possibly Un•
fold.—(Dublin Freeman's Journal.)

Burma, JAN. 5.-:-On Friday last, owing to the
melting of the snow on the surrounding mountains,
Strabane was visited wish the greatest and most de-
structive flood which has been witnessed there for
neatly twenty years. Fortunately it took place in the
day time, Otherwise hundreds of lives mu t have been
lost in the lower part of the town. As it was, num-
bers were rescued with difficulty by boats brought
from Lifford, there being none at the time on the
Canal. The waters approached-nearly to the market-
house, in the centre of the town, completely inundat-
ing the entire space between that and Lifford ; some
houses and cattle were carried away, and the goods
of the poorer classes, by whom the lower parts of the
town were chiefly occupied, were much injured. A
subscription has been set on toot for the relief of the
sufferers. About twenty years ago, a flood occurred
of nearly similar magnitude, but not so /*lions.

BOXING.

round, front cue weakness of Scroggins, who was gsqlh.,r; open-
mouthed.

Fcroggins tlaced a good bit on his adversary's left eye, which
closed it to one minute. They both fought with reciproctty ut
advantage and discohrfiture, until the 44a rounu, when, by re-
peated parting, Scroggtuc bad all bus closed the•otter eye. All

took pldce yesterday at Moulsey Hurst, in the pre-

was not considered much, but yet was lookedopon
as a game one by Cribb and Belcher. with whom he-
set-to. The motley {troupes assemble! on these occa-
sions were early at work, but the times had beaten
many of the turns out, and pedestrians were? in pro-
portion to thpie who t •ok things more easily, in pro.
portion to 10 to 1. The Oilman was quite as confi-
dent as Scroggins could possibly be, and this gave
stimulus to the encouragement of his hackers. At one
tie combatants entered the ring►, Crihb and
Richmond seconded the Oilman, and Oliver and J.
Clark seconded Scroggins.—Five to 2 on Scroggins.

• ItOUN DS.

withoui a motion, and ram-tied by a blow on the head slightly.

nose. Odds as at setting-to. .
2. Scroggins hit at his adversary% but missed him, and re-
ceived with the Oilman's kit hand. borne goad rallying took
place, and with much resolution. in a close the Oilman extri
rated himself; but he was knocked down.
S. A gallant round, and Scroygiiis out-Insight his adversary in
a rally; but at the end of it the Oilman had none the worst, al.
though in outweighing his nian.lie fell.
4. Another gallant round was fought, hut no 'time:.
bited.—We call it a gallant round because both men skewed the
best native courage, and whilst the Oilman kept steady and un•
moored, alld threw out some slapping letrabanded bits, acroggins
bit rAort, and by twice in thrice. tcroggins was thrown in a trial
of strength.
h. A determined round, in which the Oi:man had tie best of
bitting, for Scroggins seemed to be in distress for wind. l)crog-
gins slipped in making a blo and rose again from one knee, and
knocked down his adversalr.

the Oilman in less than
haft an hour. He was up.
posed to an adveuturer arid a. novice. but thorough
breeding is of little signihcation to the I.ugilistic ac-
quirements Seroggins push, to have possessed. He
missed blows too often, and although the o.lican
is a shipper and inoffensive hitter with the right hand.
and not exceller:t with the left, yet Scroggins cooed
not sooner avid oneself of that which has been deem-
ed to him a swup,:rior man. and particulany so when
they were within a pound or two of weight. bah
men were glad to go to bed, and both were much
punished. The deep ones were never nearer being
out than on the present occasion.
