(From the Pullin Evening Post of Saturday.)
The Brig Robert, of Whitehaven, 1`46 tons bue,les..
Capt. Nathaniel Nathan, sailed from Dublin for Liver-
pool, early on Friday morning, having on hoard betwe-n
50 and 60 Passengers (inrlu ling ahout IV women en .1
children) ;13 horses, 39 bullocks, am 1.60 pigs, &r. To.
wards evening the sea beeame extremely boisterous ; as
the vessel inclined to either side. there the pigs roil:el
in a body ; and the bullocks hiving b: ohen 10. s..
unmanageable. In this pretli:am-ot consid •rahl. feats
were entertained by the passengers for their safe•v. ant
they intreated the captain 'id, l. to re•urn to Dublin or
put into the nearest port. It was imp stible to cuuu•ll
with the former request, loot the C .p:ai I ha wos:1
run into Whitehaven.

At this titue (about half past eight) the vessel was On.
der a heavy press4Lof sill; and beirne on the Manx
Coast. Our inforinstit (Mr. Jos •pn Nixon, of New.
grove, near Monaghan), says the rapta'n, was not
aware of being near the lend, for, in reply to ►
question of Mr. Nixon, he said there was no danger,
as the vessel was between twenty and thirty miles Iron
any coast. A few miutitn afterwards, the Captain aril
Mr. Nixon being in the cabin (the latter having laid Jowl
in the Captain's bed), the vessel struck 01 the rocks ,t
tangles-point with a dreadful crash. Tile Captain and Mr.
Nixon kstantly rushed on deck, where a acetic of the most
horrifying description presented itself. Tne terrific shrieks
of the women and children, and the distraction of the men,
may be imagined, bit cannot he describe!. At this *Witt
and perilous moment—the sea running mountains
there was not an Instant far deliberation. They wha coal 4
swim immediately jumped into the sea, and pined thi
reeks, while a few others also succeeded by passing ov,r
thebowsprit and descending on a jutting point of rock.—
Several who lied gained the reeks were unfurtunatelf
washed off by the overwhelming waves. and it was only
by the utmost human exertions that any of them estapel
destruction.

Those who succeeded in retains their hold, clamber:4
from rock to rock, during the short interval that succeed.
ed each wave, until they attained the land. Of the co
tire number, not more than 19 persons (including the
Captain and crew) were tared. The remainder fontid
watery graves.—One woman was kmune the y.uusher
saved, but she was much injured, and not expected to
survive. The Captain had a narrow ears e, and Ar3.l
mach bruiSed. prom the d-,rkne.s of the night. thea-
unfortunate people had considerah.e difficulty in finding.
a habitation. On the following morning they went to
Castletown, about a mile and a half distant, where they
received every attention and kindnem A collection sass
made for their relief, and a vessel prepared to convey t bent
to their destination.

Mt. Nixon came over to Ardglass in a fishing smsck,
accompanied by another man from Carrielmatrns•,
named Thos. Callan. When he came from the scene of
shipwreck not one of the bodies *of the sufferers bad been
found. Ile states that the passengers were entirely of
the poorer claw,. One poor man lost his wife and •even
chit ken. The horses, bullocks, &c. were all lost, wit't
the exce;'tion of one bullock and three pigs.
Mr. Nixon is of opinion that to blame can be attached
to the Captain, who was pelt owner of the vessel.
' (We may remark that the scene of this distre.sing-
shipwreck is about a quarter of a mile tlisiaqt from Ilse
place where •the Racehorse Sloop of War was lately
wrecked.)

The East India Company's ships Canning and Earl of
Balcarras arrived off the Wight yesterday. They left Chins
the 27th of January, and St. Helena the 13th of April. TN•
Repulse, °Award bound, remained at St. Helena, at the last
mentioned date. Tile Sir David Scott also arrived off the.'
Wight yesterday. She sailed from Chins and St. Helena oil
the same days as the Canning and Bulcarras. The Cold-
stream was expected to leaveßengal far Madras on her haves
ward voyage about the 31st Jan.

Some days ago, the servants at Mrs. Preston's. in re
Minster Yard. laid a lace cap on the grass-plot in the
garden to dry. Soon afterwards it wait missing. Os
alarm being given, one or the family recollected to have
seen, about six o'clock in the morning, a thrush taking
its flight over the adjoining garden. with something
white,in its bill. Inquiry was made in the neighhou.-
hood, when it appeared. that a thrush bad lately begun
to build its nest in the garden of Wm. Gray, gsq. (be-
tween 200 or 30 yards dist,nt from Mrs. Preston s) nod
suspicion fell on this bird as the culprit. Mr. tivay's
servant. having proctirrd a ladder, ascended the tree
in which the nest was building, and foond the lace cup
within the nest, carefully spread by way of lining. The
unlucky bird was instantly deprived of its plunder. A
similar circumatance occurred some time ago, at Tang-
hall, near this city. front which a piece of lace, belong-
ing. to Mrs. 'tuber, was taken away, and found is
rook's nest, on the top of a high tree.—(Yorkshire
Gazette.)
