A Seaman has been apprehended at Cork, on

On Saturday laft a Gentleman of very refpeda-
ble connexions in the neighbourhood of Hull, was
committed to York Cattle, for having with a brace
of pintas, on the preceding day, in a fit of info.
nity, killed his only two children, one of whom
died immediately; the other only furvived the
melancholy event a few hours.
Yefterday, about eleven o'clock in the forenoon,
the neighbourhood of the Poultry was alarmed by
a loud explofion, occalioned by the burning of a
frill in the laboratory of Mars. HANROTT, BUR.
ICITT, and Co. chemifts. The fervants of there
gentlemen had been diftilling nutmeg-water, and
the furnace becoming over heated, the head of
the (till flew off, with a mon violent explofion ;
the (ky light of the laboratory was broken, and fe-
veral panes of glafs in the (hop windows, as well
as the window frames, were (battered to pieces by
the eameunion. The noife and fmoke occafioned
by this accident drew feveral fire engines to the
fpot, as well as a prodigious crowd of fpeflators ;
but we are happy to nate, that no injury of con-
fequence enfued, and that no blame whatever can
attach to any individual concerned.
When we witnefs extraordinary exertions of ta-
lent, to record them is an aft of junice which we
are no: inclined to negleft. From the late period
at which Mr. IRKYLL was appointed Counfel for
the unhappy perfons recently convifted of High
Treafon, it might have been expelled that he could
not have taken up the arduous defence intrufted to
him with all that preparation which its importance
demanded. His fpeech, on the occafion,may Itrift-
ly be called an Impromptu, notwithftanding which,
we have feldom heard an addrefs to a Jury which
pleafed us more. It was impaffioned, without
extravagance or difarrangement; and as argumen-
tative as the limited advantages of his cafe
would permit : he was legal, without loading
the memory or the fpirits of thole to whom
he addreffed himfelf, and eloquent without being
iinneceffarily diffufe, though he (poke for Two
Hour, and a half, and there did not ezift a point
of defence, which he did not leize upon and
interpo:.: between his wretched Clients and their
Fate. la a (cord, his exertions on the occafinn
Jo him the highell credit, and furnifix a fohd and
iplendid proof of his abilities as an Advocate and
Lawy,r.
