We have noticed elsewhere
k of the packet-ship Rochester, on Blackwater
Ind the arrival of the crew and passengers at Wex-

to Liverpool by the Toviii of IN

steamer, arid by the scare arrival came a letter, addressed
by the mayor of Wexford, Mr. Robert Cardiff, to the
mayor of Liverpool, in which the former functionary in-
formed his brother of the Mersey that he had sent over
the cargo hoping that he " would please to have justice
and charity extended to these wretched people." Her(
of course, th

;e, money, and

provisions, and we presume the mayor of -`Wexford thinks
that the ratepayers of Liverpool are bound, in " justice
and charity,' to find them in every thing needful, and
send them forward to the new country which they were

seeking! It is really singular what powers of face these
Irish people have. We are already keeping as many of

their poor as they can get sent over to our port, and we
are now coolly told, that, as a matter of "justice," 'tor-
we must pay the cost of their expatriation.
orMu.WALNIGHTINGA LE, OF THE CHRONICLE
We deeply regret to announce the death of Mr.

William Nig

nol C/a-on-tele

. -
;ale, one of the proprietors of the Liver-
Be expired, at his residence, iu Sydney-
about midnight, on Friday last, in his

42nd year, after a patient endurance of an asthmatic com-
plaint, under which he had laboured for many months.
The deceased had been connected -with the press during
nearly the whole of his existence ; and his demise, at so
early a period of life, is sincerely lamented by all his
brethren of the " broad-sheet," by whom (of all parties in
politics) he was well known, from his amiable and obliging
disposition, and his modest demeanour, and singleness of
purpose. His uncle, Mr. Harrop (we find), was the pro-
prietor of the first newspaper published in Manchester, the
Volunteer, which was given up some years ago. Mr.
Nightingale was not what may be properly termed a
" literary" man ' • but. he was possessed of considerable na-
tural talent, and a spirit of great perseverance in prose-
cuting out-door business—a quality, perhaps, equally as
valuable, in the working of a provincial paper at least, as
attainments. We believe that Mr. Nightingale,
`-• " Whiff caner. was a sincere friend of

the Established Church. in the deserved eulogy of a
contemporary, he was—" as a companion, cordial, frank,
and gentlemanly; as a friend, sincere, warm-hearted, and
generous. He was the architect of his own fortune, and
his guileless nature left him without an enemy in the
world." -He has left behind him a son of active habits and
pleasing address, who will, we trust, supply to his surviving
partner, so far as possible, the loss which he has sustained,
and which he will undoubtedly feel fur a long time to come.
