LVTI%,LLIa g,

The following correspondence has been received
at LLOYD'S, this morning, from Cork :

" Cork, January 20, 1120.
" Sta—As the prevailing winds, for the last four or five weeks,
must have tended to keep out all vessels coming from the west-
ward, bound up the English and Irish Channels, we, as the
Agents to I,torp's, take the liberty of suggesting to you the ex-
pediency of sending out any small craft at present in harbour,
with supplies of water and provisions, for the relief of any ves-
sels that may be met, standing in need of such supplies.

" We have the honour to be, &e. -

" GENTLMEN—In return to your letter of yesterday's date,
Ibe leave to acquaint you, that it was my intention to adopt
such measures as are Within my power, to relieve the distreili
likely to be experienced by the homeward-bound trade, from
being kept at sea by the prevalence of Easterly winds; and
that I have, in the mean time, ordered his Majesty's ships Do-
lman. and TRIPUNK, to proceed and cruise fur the purpose
of aff.m ding assistance to such of the above trade as they may
fall in with, in need of provisions and water.
" I have the honour to be, gtc.

BALLANTRAE, Jas. 19.—A fine vessel, of 87 tons register,
schooner rigged, named the Merton-Hall, of Workington, (in
ballast) ‘VILLIAM PATRICKSON master, was this morning, about
two o'clock, driven on a low fiat rock in the back port of Bal-
lantrae, about 200 yards north of the small harbour, but happily
no lives were lost. She sailed from Ballast for Ayr on Mon-
day last, but the wind on Tuesday being quite a-head, she at
last made for Lochryan, and the morning being very dark, and
the snow drifting furiously, she got upon the rock, and in a short
time had five feet water in the hold : at day-light she was found
to have her back broken and her rudder torn off, and, consider-
ing the season of the year, and her present situation, there is lit-
tle hope to be entertained of getting her off.

In consequence of the opening of the navigation,
several colliers have arrived in the Pool this mornings.
We understand that the Lords of the Treasury
have given directions to allow Mechanics, Artificers,
&c. to emigrate from Great Britain to any country,
and in any ship. The law formerly prevented trades-
men from leaving the Kingdom.
An actual improvement in trade generally, with
an advance in price on some articles of foreign im-
port, has taken place in Belfast ; and there is ev.ry
confidence ofa continuance, with an increased demand,
By a vessel from Buenos Ayres direct, advices have
beea received to the 12th of October. At that period-.
the alarm on the subject of the Expedition from
Cadiz had attained its greatest height. Their ac-1
counts from Gibraltar reached only to the 2d of
August, a few days before the appearance of the
fever, when the preparations were in their most com-
plete state. No accommodation had been entered
into with ARTIGAS ; and as he made it an absolute II
condition, that Buenos Ayres should join him in a
war against the Portuguese, there was little chance
of a good understanding. Plunder having latterly
been scarce in the territory of ARTIOAS, some of his
freebooters had crossed the river, and were infesting
the high roads leading to Cordova and Mendoza.
They had lately interrupted eleven travellers, some 'I
of them persons of note, and would probably exact
from them a large sum by way of ransom. •
By intelligence from Santiago it was ascertained
that Lord Coctinaues squadron sailed from Val-
paraiso on the llth September : it consisted of the
following ships :—O'Higgins (Lord COCHRANE), 50
guns, San Martin, 64, Lautaro, 42, Independeacia,
32, Chacabuco, 20, Galvarino, 18, Araucano, 14,
Pueyrredon, 10, and the Montezuma, with two fire-
I ships. The object of the sqiiadron is to burn the
I Spanish vessels in Callao. They had on board 420
Congreve-rockets, and, besides many foreign Officers,
about 4.50 troops drawn from several corps of the
army. They had orders also to bear up for Coquimbo,
to take on beard 800 additional troops. An embargo
was laid at Valparaiso on the 14th August, and still
continued. No tidings had been received concerning
the ships of war that sailed from Cadiz for Lima.

An extensive plan for committing forgeries upon
the Bengal Bank, bias been discovered, and the of-
fenders were all in custody. It appears the associ-
ation consisted of six natives, three of whom had di-
rected their talents to the engraving part of the
business ; two ethers managed the copper-plate
press ; and the sixth, a podia, disposed of the forged
notes at such rates as would ensure a speedy sale.
They were detected before many of their forged notes
had got into circulation.

MONTROSE, JANUARY 21.—0 n the morning of
Friday, the 31st ult. ADAM kiREIG, an imbecile in-
offensive pauper belonging to this town, left it and
wandered to the north. When night came on, he
made several unsuccessful applications to obtain shel-
ter; and, on reaching Harvieston, he attempted to '
gain admittance into a stable, where-he accidentally
broke a pane of glass. On this being discovered, he
was rudely driven away by six men, who beat the
poor mendicant with sticks and other weapons, in
such an inhuman manner, that, after languishing
fourteen days, he expired, in consequence of the
barbarous treatment he received. Three of the per-
petratorsof this citme have absconded.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JANUARY 25.
BLASPHEMY AND SEDITION.

This morning, pursuant to the notice of Mr. LIT-
TLEDALE, given yesterday, several defendants were
brought up to plead to informations filed against
them, for publishing and vending different libels pub-
lished in the works of Mr. Carlile. On their Lord-
ships entering the Court, and taking their seats on
the Bench, the LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE addressed Mr.

ner following :
