NARRATIVE OF THE LOSS OF THE BRIG
" LIVERPOOL," IN DINGLE BAY.

(From Otte of the Crew.)

The Brig Liverpool, of Liverpool, 350 tons burthen, Thomas
Loudon, master, laden with deals, made the coast of Ireland
in nineteen days from Miramichi. The thick weather for three
days previous to their making land, prevented the taking
of any observation, and when the crew made out the lights
on the Skellig rock, they conceived them to be these on
the Smalls at the entrance of the Bristol channel, and shaped
their course for Liverpool acc,irdingly. By this fatal miscalcu-
lation, the vessel became embayed, with the wind blowing a
gale full on the land, and for three awful days the crew laboured
incessantly, but unavailingly to beat out to sea again. The
master, who perished from fatigue and bruises, did everything
iu power of a good seaman to save the ship; but on the even-
lug of the third day, being in utter ignorance of their pus Lion
gable to discern the land, and finding the ship still goino. to
'leeward on every tack, they abandonded all hope of being able
to extritate themselves, and gradually nearing danger, they
passed sotne hours in the horrors of suspense and dark-
ness, and at twelve o'clock on Saturday night the ship struck
on the outer bar of Inch. Island, her whole stern instantly
patted, from the violence with which she struck on the hard bed
of sand. Being a stout and well built vessel, the fore part of
the ship on which the crew held together, was carried over the
bar, and at length lodged on the breakers; the crew clung to
their shattered vessel until day break, every wave washing over
them, under these circumstances, it was that one tremendous
wave washed away the captain and his wife' who had unfortu-
-nately accompanied'-hint on the voyage, the latter was hnine-
cLitely drowned, but the unfortunate captain becomingentanglqd
in stone of the floating rigging, was at length drawn on board,
but so bruised and exhausted, that though he was brought on
shore alive, he survived but a short time. When morning at
length broke, the crew were enabled to see that their going on
shore was no very difficult task, and they eagerly looked for
the help, which, as sufferers, they have a right to expect from
the inhabitants on shore : and here for the honour of our
country, and of humanity we wish, were it possible, to draw a
veil over the scenes which followed. No sooner did the wreck
became visible, than the natives of the neighbouring villages—
more like savages than inhabitants of a Christian country,
crowded to the wreck as a lawful booty—and so far from helping
their suffering fellow•creatures to the shore, turned their whole
attention to plundering theta of every thing they possessed—
breaking open their boxes, and possessing themselves or their
clothing, without shame or scruple before the owners' faces.
The 'unfortunate captain, while lying expiring on the beach,
was robbed of his watch and some sovereigns in his pocket. It
is,but justice to Mr. O'Carrol, the parish -priest, to say, that he
has been calling upon his flock to make restitution of the
plundered property ; but with all respect for the priests' motives
which, we have no doubt, are honest and laudable, we must
say, that the evil is in they system of which he is a minister, and
which instead of going to correct these inhuman, unchristian
practices at their source, the human heart comes after with
Its inefficient external penance, and tardy inadequate restitution.

MANGLING A FRENCHAIAN.—At the Middlesex Court of
Requests on Thursday, a very testy-looking Frenchman, bear-
ing a most sinister-looking squint, and an "os frontis" that
