it be;ng.the larboard watch:On deck. We discovered that we,
came up tti her very last; and that she was'before the wind just
on the weatherboiv. It being dark., we thought that we should
go to winAlt7aid before 'we came dose, but, on- nearing ..er,
found that she had her top'sails down on the cap; although there
was no appearance of any squall, and was lying in so singular
a nianneTefor a vessel working to windward. eWe hailed her,
and desired her to make sail and haul to the wind, or we should
be foulsof her. We, after hailing`three times, received an an-
swer, bit we were forced to wear to get clear of her. We .then
discovered that this Malay, who has been guilty of these out-
ra,geous murders, was on the .head, and no clothing on except
a handkerchief tied below his breast. The captain ordered him
to be searched, but there was no weapon found on him. The
ship being by daylight a long way to windward, and not seem-
ing to take •any notice of us, we were not able to send him on
hoard, and, no person being able to interpret the Malay lan-.
guage, we could not ascertain from him why or how he had left
his ship.. While She was in sight, we saw that be seemed very
careful to keep out of view from her; and, if we pointed to the
ship, and made stgns of sending him on board, he appeared
very much distressed, and would-141y down on deck to imitate
sleep, draw his hands aeross his throat, then jump up suddenly
and throw his hands over the- shitOs sides, so that we concluded
that he had bee*badly used, and that he was in danger of hair-
ing his throat cut his sleep and thrown overboard, occur-
rences not uncomnaorkiu koard ships of that description manned
'partly by Malays and partly -Arabs. The.captatu, therefore,
allowed him to remain, as indeed there was no help for it, the
ship never coining within hail again. Since we had lost sight
of her, he appeared quite pleased and in high spirits. The fol-'
lowing day lie came aft of his own accord, and delivered up to
the captain a small knife and fork, which we suppose he must
have secreted in the head on his first coming on hoard.
After having examined the bodies of our murdered shipmates,
and being fully convinced that they had departed this life, at
eight a.m. we committed their bodies to the deep with the usual
ceremony and burial service.—Lot. 5 33 S., long.lll 56 E.

DONCASTER ST. LEGER.

Doncaster, Sunday Morning, Ten o'clock.
Some chane.es have taken place in the betting rather unex-
pectedly; whether it is in consequence of a trial having taken
place between Mundig and Hornsea is not at present correctly,:
ascertained • but the former has gone down the hill, and Was at
-one time as-tow' as .11, and at another time at 20 to 1, .
Hornsea occupied his place at 4to 1. Mundig, however, ht's.
since recovered partly his former position, and now stands at 8
to 1. With respect to the Queen, she continues, if possible, in
higher favour, and may at present be quoted at about 3 to 1 i
and it is the general opinion that sbe will continue at the top of
the tree, and on the swung side too. The Queen continues to
look remarkably well, performs her work with the utmost re-
gularity, and is the admiration of all the lovers of the English
racehorse. In addition to her other qualities, she possesses one
essential in the St. Leger, viz., good temper and good resolu-
tion, and although she may not, as is said, bear the whip, it is
the opinion of many that she will not require it. There are now
in the town twenty-three horses for the St. Leger; but they will
not all start of course—perhaps fifteen or sixteen will be the
most. There are ninety horses in the town. The scene pre-
sented on the ground this morning was of a very interesting
character : teams of holies, belonging the respective training
stables, might be seen galloping in all directions. But the most
attention was turned to the St Leger favourites, particularly to
the Queen, and it is gratifying even to the mere spectator to see
that, on the part of Mr. Mostyn, there is no desire to coddle her,
—to clothe her with mystery or restrain the public from seeing
her, as was the case last year with Plenipo. Everything in this
respect is fair and open, and as it should always be. It is im-
possible to describe the interest which prevails respecting the
St. Leger. The principal attention is of course turned to the
first four favourites, including Mundig; but some of the out-
siders will be brought into play shortly. Jupiter it is thought
will advance a little, and he certainly, on the day of trial, will be
in tha
.front, for it is the general opinion that he can go the St.
Leger speed, au opinion which is sanctioned by his running so
well with General Chasse. • But after all it is a most difficult
thing to point out the winner this year. Relying, however, upon
the cortectaiess of public running, the Queen of Trumps must
stand in the highest favour; and it may be confidently relied
upon that he must be an extraordinary horse that can shake her
off in the race, provided no accident occurs or that she is not
disappointed in her strides.
The town is filling very fast ; during the whole of yesterday,
end particularly towards evening, carriages continued to roll
into the town : many from York festival, and others from every
other quarter. The weather, after the late rain, is now beau-
tifully, fine, there is no dust to annoy travellers, and the rain
has hail the effect also of rendering the course in the most
beautiful state possible.• In short, the great interest connected
with the St. Leger, well es so the other races, not forgetting
the splendid caudelabrum, to which the eyes of the friends of
General Chasse are very anxiously looking, although he will
have his work to do—the beauty of the weather, the excellence
of the accommodations in every respect, the safety provided for
the pedestrians, and though the last, not the least, the attend-
ance of their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the
Princess Victoria, all will contribute to 'form a scene of the
,highest degree of interest, attraction, and magnificence.

-TO DAMEL O'CONNELL,.
P,SQUIRE BY COURTESX 8.8. BY PBOPENVOY.

Borne men are torn Anis, and some plike fools of thproselves."

I am firmjy-Sf opinion that the latter is your case. from
the tenor of your swaggering epistle to the Duke of Wellington,
it is evident that you believe all the people of England to be
fools : I have no hesitation in avowing any conviction that you
are one, in the superlative degree; in the fellowship of which
belief, I proceed to square a long standing account between

you and that Tiubtic whoa► you are now engleavenring to bank.

In entering upon this task, you will find that .I can use slang
terms and vituperative expressions as well as yourself—singu-
larly eminent as you are deemed to be, by common acclama-
tion, in these enviable accomplishments. I .shall imitate your
style, and rival your abuse. If the present dose should prove
too violently cathartic in its operation, biume youtself; it is
concocted in perfect accordance with your own prescriptions—
its main ingredients, blustering impudence, overwecning-egot-
ism,:and Billingsgate raillery, seem (p be the only' cheisicals
enumerated in your political pharmacopeia. I beg pardon;.

recklessness of assertion, a contemptuous disregard of facts,
(when they militate against you,) and barefaced lying, are in-
dispensable constittients iu all your patriotic nostrums. These
I leave out.

lu pursuing onr mutual avocations, however, there are some
importaut differences between us. You endeavour to beslime
with your foul abuse every one who becomes obnoxious to
your spleen, by rectitude of principle and honourable conduct;
and your abuse, as a matter of course, never sticks to the ob-
jects of your malevolent-attacks. I have only to shovel filth'
upon filth itself; and, by the attraction of cohesion, the homo-
geneous mass tenaciously holds together with disgusting com-

pactness.
Nuw, eir, stand erect in all your native brass; on an inia-

ginary pillory, (to the reality of which you have an indisputable
claim,) and "have at you" with rotten eggs or any garbage at
hand.

The people of England, "permit me to tell you," laugh to
scorn the preposterous folly which you exhibit, in claiming any
,kind of fellowship with such a man as the Puke of Wellington.
'Whist!..,a swinish abortion like you pretending to be fitasiliatH
with-.o -true British lion !—its vulgarss-bittsterisig buffocs iikC
you, affecting any community of feeling with a yeutlemant—H
lcu, who have no honour to vindicate, no character worth ,
picking out of the kenneli—you, whom we involuntarily iden-
tify with the very dregs, the very swillings of society, arro- '
gating the right to address, in terms of equality, a nobleman
of high bearing, whose straightforward honesty of purpose has
extorted the applause even of his enemies! Insolent mortal!
Know yourself. The people of England both know and appre-
ciate you and your abominable doings. They kuow you to be
a designing knave, an insolent poltroon, an unconscionable
beggar, whoie bloated avarice leads him to snatch the last
penny from the hand of the famishing peasant, whose distresses
he perpetuates by affecting to redress his grievances. They
know hint whom you malign to be a great and au honest man,
whose character will beer sifting, whose public virtues are
enshrined in the hearts of millions, whose laurels, ever fresh
and verdant, are as imperishable as the rights and liberties of
the country for Which he fought, and which rights and privi-
leges -you are sedulously labouring to annihilate. In frus-
trating these scandalous attempts of yours, we look to him and
his party with confidence, kuowing that they will not flinch
from their duty. Undeterred by your vapouriug threats, they
will fight the battle of the constitution. Spite of 'all your
braggadocios, this noble "war battalion" will speedily drive
you, and your "awkward squad," from the field. You have
already felt their power. It will soon crnat you.

The public exhibitions which you arc now making of your-
self will not afford you any test of the opinion which the people
of England entertain regarding you. You are feasted by a
mean - radical clique, which is already in articulo tam tis. You
dare not show your face in any decent society. Let us see you
on the ' Liverpool Exchange, if you possess animal courage
enough to encounter the execrations of the wealthy end re-
spectable merchants of this flourishing town. All your accus-
tomed .blarney—concentrated into one energetic effort to
wheedle them into toleration—would not procure you a mo-
ment's respite-from their hearty hootings. There were, for-
merly, a •few individuals who thought you clever, and hoped
that you might prove honest. They'll/rye been undeceived;
and you now stand denuded of every 'claim to their partiality.
.It may prove worth your* while to ascertain the composition
.of those audiences to address and sponge upon which you have
recently procured invitations. You will find among them but
a very thin sprinkling of the parliamentary constituency of the
kingdom. Upon this class rest the excited hopes of the nation,
and these you cannot influence. Do not vainly persuade your-
self that the eager curiosity with which a glipse •of your person
is sought affords any indication of esteem nn the part of your
beholders. The people only stare at you as they would at any
other—monster, or at a felon on his way to the gallows.
Permit me to notice in detail a few of the more prominent
points in your,letter, -- • ••. • . .
You stoutly deny having been convicted of any misdemeanour
previously to your unexpected alliance with the present minis-
try. Your infamous conduct with reference to the cases of
Murphy Hudson, and others, leads us to believe in the justice
of the imputation exactly it proportion to your pertinacity
and
.mock solemnity in endeavouring to exonerate yourself
from the charge. Independently of this, you fully admit that
you disobeyed a proclamation of the King's representative,
which emphatically declared your proceedings to be illegal.
Was not this an overt act of rebellion, and is not rebellion a
misdemeanour?

It surely cannot have' escaped your memory that the editor
of the paper in whose columns your incendiary trash was pre_
rented to your deluded countrymen was imprisoned on your
account, and vicariously suffered the penalty due for your in-
fractiOn of the law. Does not.this afford a compound specimen
of your wonted cowardice and delinquency ? Would any man,
possessed of the least spark of honourable feeling, have thus
basely permitted his much more innocent accomplice to endure
a protracted incarceration, while he himself chuckled over his
exemption from punishment ? There is only one man capable
of such discreditable conduct, and that map is Daniel O'Con•
nell.
Allow me to refresh your memory on ancither subject. It is,
•
comparatively, but u shoit time since yPV wore emphatically
denounced in the King's speech as a distUsitier fhp peace of
Ireland. That was the only instance in wh,io your most sweet
.friends, the whigs, had sufficient pinek to‘ (feat you aeeording-
to your merits. Can you point out any otlaer'POlitiCil.,Slifender
within the last century, whose high crimes and misderdeanours
entitled him to such a prominent recognition of his dangerous
character and inflammatory proceedings ? Such truculent de-
magogues are not of every day growth. One Joel:. Cade, or
one Daniel O'Connell, is quite sufficient in a generation. A
further multiplication of such desperadoes would soon extin-
guish every gleam of civilization in the world; and rapidly de-
. populate the earth itself.
It i 3 quite amusing to notice how pathetically you bemoan
your long-continued exclusion from the honours of a silk gown.
Why were your claiMs to this distinction so long held in
abeyance? Did it never occur to yin that the government
justly appreciated you as a dangerous chalacter, whose baneful

influence the adventitious circumstance of your promotion
might have contributed to augment? Surely this was an ade-
quate motive for your missing that precedence, the loss of
which made your heart

"So wearifu' and sore."

In connexion with this pity-extorting Jeremiade, you Men,
tion incidentally that many of your clients were orangemen
and that most, of them were protestants.. If so, if thesa.were
the parties who enabled you to obtain a subsistence, jti it: not a
scandalous mark of your characteristic ingratitude that you
now embrace every opportunity:of traducing their character,
endangering their personal security, alienating their property,
and extirpating their religion? I thank you, in the name of
the people of England, for the candid acknowledgment that
the persecuted protestants were your earliest patrons. They
now find, however, that in fostering your rising talents they
were nourishing a viper whose venomous fangs would be turned
against the.hand that fed it.
Yo say that you do not owe the power or influence (they are
convertible terms) which you now possess, to superior birth,
fortune, or talents. This will be readily conceded; but what
think you of attributing this wonderful accession of power to
—superior impudence and superior knavery ?
You assert that your unprecedented power is derived from the
suffetings, the.woes, and miseries of Ireland. We will take
you, for once, at your word. Who has'originated those suffer-
ings, insulted over those woes, and increased, to an inappreciable
extent, those complicated miseries? You, and men like you,
who, urged on by unbridled passions,.pursue their unprincipled
career of ferocious agitation, by stimulating into active operation
the elements of civil strife, have been the authors of Ireland's
wrongs. Those wrongs which form the burden of every speech
you deliver, and which are stamped on e 4 ..y. your
hand, are increased, and you labour to increase tlierii,"l4 both
expedients. You elicited theffrst spark of disaffectinfand you
are unremitting in your exertions to fan it to a fiatnei
Give the deluded peasants of Ireland a firm and vigorous go.
vernment that will not sulnit.to be bearded by such reckless
malcontents as Daniel O'Connell ; let them be protected in
actffig independently of their besotted Priests; ednCate them ;
give them a fair chance, by enlarged means and increased fa-
talities for becoming protestant,; and then, and only then, can
Ireland be what it'should be, from its insular position and un-
bounded internal resources—the land of peace and plenty.
You seem to forget that the protestants of Ireland have wrongs
to complain of. They suffer poignantly from those agrarian
disturbances which are so prevalent ; tftey stand iu hourly dread
of assassination; they have to submit to every species of vio-
lence offered to their persons and their property ; they ate, in
many parts, a proscribed and decimated people; and whom is
this owing to? To the lira-agitator and his congenial satellites,
who seem to htiA;e entered upon au exterminating crusade
against them, and for whom the, groans of the butchered yarent,
