ACCIDENT TO A MAIL STEAMER.—As the Liverpool
and DeWitt mail steamer Prince was approaching the et-
trance to Dublin Bay, in a dense fog, nn Monday morning.
she struck against the rocks off the Hill of flowth. The
force of the collision, and the confusion on beard, caused
the passengers to hurry on deck in a state of great alarm.
The accident might have been a serious one had it not
been for the strength of th- bowsprit. which sustained the
eh ,le shock of the collision. She was got under weigh
aeain in the course of a short time, pursued her course to
Kingstown, and yesterday morning aiirived here on her re-
turn tr p. The damage was very trifling in amount, and
no blame, so tar as we have heard. is attachable to any
one on board. She was fortunately only going at the
nee of one knot an hour, in conseqernee of the fog.
Had she b en going at the rate of three or four, the con-
sequences might have b -en dreadful.

pool Infirmary. A letter was received from the Poor-
law Commissir ners, with reference to the evils in the ad-
ministration of medeell relief. It was supoost d to refer

MEDICAL MESMERIC SOCIETY.—A general meeting of
the Meeical I‘.l, smetie Soriety was held at Mr. Calder-
