LOSS OF THE BARQUE HENRY.

Tho ship Sarah, Captain Cornick, arrived here from Vir-
ginia on the 15th instant.
On the 15th December, in lat. 40 30 N., lon. 53 W., she fell
in with the barque Henry, of Hull; 49 days out from Liverpool,
bound for New York, dismasted and in a leaky state, having on
board 128 passengers, which with the crew, 16 in number, she
took from the wreck.
With 1(17 of these persong she has arrived here, seven having
died on boar] and thirty having been taken from her by other
ships which she afterwards fell in-with.
Captain C. represents the misery and distress on board his
chip as appalling in the extreme, being at sea thirty days after
rescuing the crew and pesseugers of the Henry, all the time ou
very short allowance and in constant dread of a mutiny break-
ing out. His undaunted and manly coudurt is beyond all
praise, and cannot be too generally known. We understand it
is to be represented to th. Admiralty, and that a subscription
for his behoof is now going on among the merchants of this-
tow rt.

The following is a list of the vessels which he fell in with, and
from which he received such supplies of provisions and water as
they could spare :—Dec. 21, lat. 43 27, lon. 41, barque Liver-
ponl, from Liverpool fur St. John, N.B. January 2, lat. 4622,
lon. 30, brig Matilda, from St. John, N.B. for Gloucester.—
Jun. 4, lat. 46 42, lon. 28, barque Susannah, from Batavia for
Amsterdam. Jan. 7, lat.. 47, lou. 24 30, barque Doncaster, frotn
Isle of France fur London. Same day, lat. 46 56, 10n:24, slip
General Hewitt, from Alialras for London. Jan. 9, lat. 47,
lon. 22 15, ship Hark Away, from Liverpool for Virginia.—
Jan. 12, ship Walter, from New Orleans ter Liverpool. She
also spoke and asked assistance from the barque Dorotl4, bound
for Hull, and the brig Sylla, for Liverpool, but they were unable
to tender any.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE MORNING HERALD.
Stri,—My attention has been drawn to a paragravh• in.your
Newspaper alluding to the speech of Sir John CsmipCell (the
late Attorney-General) to the electorS of 4dinburgb, and where
he descants largely upon the topic of th 6 circumstance 'of the
Duke of Wellington having held in. his own persen so many
offices during the period between Lord Melbourne's retirement
and the return of Sir Robert Peel from Italy. "The Duke,"
says Sir John Campbell, "became Dictator—he combined in
his own person the offices of the Secretaries of State, First
Lord or the Admiralty, President of the Council, Chancellor of
the Duchy of Lancaster."

I beg,air, through the medium of the columns of your re-
spectable paper to remind the public of the conduct of Mr.
Dundas. in the year 1794, when the French revolution changed
the face of Europe, and when it became necessary. to form a
new system of polities—and before I proceed further allow me
to remark, through anarduouS contest he proved a powerful
oppoheut of jacollinital liffUip!os-="lttr.- Dundas held at the
sante time the offices of Secretary of State, l'resident of the
Board of Control, Treasurer of the Navy, and Minister of Scot-
land ; and notwithstanding the immense weight of business
transacted in these different departments, no contusion or delay
was ever complained of. With respect to the services which be
rendered to his country in each of them, writers of every party
are agreed.—l am, ',Nit. Editor, your faithful servant,
Liverpool, Mill-street, JOHN SIIEPPARD,

COLONEL JonnAN.—Our readers will be glad to learn that
His Majesty has been graciously plcascd to confer upon Lieut.-
Colonel Jordan, inspecting field-officer of this district, the
Companionship of the Onelphic Order. This honorary distinc-
tion is the more particularly gratifying from Idis Majesty's
royal condescension and considerate syznyathy in causing it to
be delivered to Colonel Jordan on the anniversary of the la-
' soentable accident he met within this town two years ago.
THE PACKET-SIM VIRGINIAN.--We understand we were
misled into an error in our last, when Iwe stated that the Gc-
turia bad beaten the Virginian by tlsree days in their respective
voyages across the Atlantic. This is not lire fact. Both vessels
sailed on the saute day, and the Virginian entered the 'Mersey
first. We arc always ready to do justice to merit, but, not
knowing either commander, we took the first statement in tha
belief that it, was correct. We could have had nu partiality
either way, as both vessels are American.

SCHOOL FOR THE BLlNn.—The Annual Meeting of this cor-
poration was held on Friday last, in the; Board-room of the Insti-
tution, Mr. J. H. Turner in the chair, The Treusurer, R. W.
Houghton, Esq., presented a statement of the receipts and ex-
penditure, which was read and approved of. the Earl of
Derby was appointed President for the ensuing year, in the
room of the Earl of Burlington, the late president. In the
course of the meeting,. the Rev. Mr. Hull mentioned that the
receipts at the door& of the church, in 1833, amounted to £6Bl
Ils., and in 1834, to £678 145., although in the latter year the
church was closed eight Sundays while the improvements were
in progress. This. showed a virtual increase in the contribu-
tions while the church was open, and but for the suspension of
the service for so long a period, the -receipts would have consi-
derably exceeded those of the .former year. The pew-rents in
1833 sere £638 6s. Id., and in 1834, £721 ; showing an in-
crease of £B2 13s. I ld. This was a proof that the alteration of
the pillars and other parts of the church was a decided improve-
ment.

Sin Gitonort Mcattay.—lt is with regret we observe, that
that eminent statesman, Sir George Murray, has lost his elec-
tion in Perthshire. The gross intimidation and violence re-
sorted to by the partizans of the late ministry, prevented the
indepeudent electors o: Perthshire from doing their duty at this
important crisis; but it is one consolation.tnitusaY, that a seat
in parliament is stilt secure fur Sir George, end that his valu-
able services will net, niaugre all the efforts of his enemies, and
of the constitution, be-lost to the country. To cog aterbalance
this defeat, Sir George Clerk has carried his election for
Edinburghshire.—Closijous Courier.
Mott ALITY IN FRANCE.—According to the following sum-
mary of the registries of births, marriages, and deaths in France
during the fifteen years from 1817 to 1831, it appears that one-
thirteenth part of all the birth 4 were
NewsPAe tt RoireEttY.—The conduct pursued towards the
proprietors of newspapers by the -per,ains in the pc/cot-lice is
scandalous in the extreme. \ye have this day received several
letters complaining of the non-at rival of Moriday's publication.
We beg to assure our subscribers, that we can give legal evi-
dence of the papers having been depiisited iu the postoffice,
and in every instance where a subscriber to the Evening 'Mail
was disappointed, his paper must have been stolen by 8411110 per-
sun iu the postoffice. We mean to bring. the abuses in this
department under the consideration of parliament early in the
ensuing sessiou.—Dublin Mull.
UNSTAMIIiD PERIODICALS.—On Wednesday last Mr. Dallas,
printer iu Glasgow, underwent a trial, at the instance of the
crown, before his Majesty's justices of peace, at Glasgow, for
having printed a certain unstaniped publication, entitled,
" News of the Week." Ile was found guilty, and fined in the
sum of E. 200 sterling. Warrant was granted to distrain the (le-
fender's whole effects for the amount ; but, the constable having
reported on oath that he had not wherewith to cover the penalty,
warrant has been issued for his imprisonment. It is thought,
however, that the defendant has already given the crown geu-
tleruen French. leave. Fur the circulation of the above publica-
tion Mr. Francis Reid is still imprisoned in Glasgow Gaol.
CossnavaTissi IN PLYItIOUTII.—We have the gratification
of announcing to our readers, that an address from the electors
of Plymouth to his Majesty, expressive of their loyal and duti-
ful uttachment to his person, and declaratory of their confidence
in the prcseut govel omen:, is now in the course of signature.—

Co;.nr OF CHANCERY, DCBLIN,-,AoUtlity being the first
day of Hillary Tertn, the court was riltril ut an early hour by
persons anxious to see Sir Edward Sagden, the new Chancellor,
take his seat upon the bench. A large party of ladies occupied
a conspicuous position iu the gallery, and several others were
accommodated with seats at the Mite' her, and on the six cleik's
benches, wiiiist a fair phalanx was seen arrayed on the King's
counsel's seats. Shortly before the Chancellor enteleti, Miss
Sugden,'-acconipanieu by the Countess of Giengal, came into •
the court, and took their seats upon the extremity of the bench
under the canopy; but a general titter from the auditors so
disconcerted the fair occupants, that they innuediately retired to
less conspicuous position. The Chancellor entered the court •
about one o'clock in his tiik lobes, accompanied by the Master
of the Roth and Master Connor, and having made his obeisance, • .`
the following gentlemen were called tOthebur :—llenry Orpcu •
Palmer, Esti., third son of Abraham Palmer, E•q.; Abraham
Augustus Nunn, Esq.; Stearne Ball Miller, Leq.; Thomas
