SHIPWRECKS ON TIIE WEST COAST OF MEL %ND.

TO Tilt notion OF THE SOUTHLRN REPORTER.
re Denton mo, April 24, 1229.
DEAR Sin—On Tneeday morn pert of a shies boat,
marked in the stern. The Nelson, TIMM, John Ibbetts„"
came on shore, on the leads of Donollighntore, in Cfonakilty
Bay; and on thesameday two hats werebUte little birth!,
west. The melancholy conclusion to wn from these
events will probably be even preferibliko uncertainty.—
You will, therefere, pleas* to give pabllelty to it, la the hope
that it may ranch the eye of mat person inlerested in the
fate of this vessel.
I am, dear Sir, your obedient servant,
, J. R. BARRY.
'.-n• , Aram 14.-0 e the algid of Seetley last, we

bad a most tremoodoes gala of whad from the 8. W. which
we fear mast hare dome soasidwable damage ea the coast.
A large Norway ship, the Three Brothers. of Tonsberg,
spite Sherrie, muter, lately arrived with avert° of timber
Wnd deals to Mr. John Desevaa. sad * M Peat Pitt of
bar cargo still oa board, was delves frombor moorings at
the Bemabire Islands, In oar bay, and ellplmiksfi. Though
she mast have wolfed some lajary. It be IllghTsr► hoped,
sbe will be got off without molletial ism 4ry I. :
*Om jleavy gate above illeillesedeire ere istirseed a
lasisAle,segposed at hasits-Aaiswisam way delves cm
shore at Rossbegh, outside Slawbarof Castlemais Bay. We
have sines received authentic informatioa. that this weasel is the
Mohawk, of New York, Lowtoa, master, bound to Newry,
with staves and 400 casb of fiazmeed, 300 tons burden. On
receiving the first Intimation of the wreck, W. M. Twits.
Esq. Collector of Customs, went or on Monday last, to ten-
der every service la his power. We are happy to say no
lives have been lost.
Wo are sorry to bear, that a great many of the Diagia
fishiog boats were wrecked and damaged In the storm
of Sunday night. This Is the more to be regretted
(principally, no doubt, ter the sake of the poor and lodut-
Woos owners), as from Sam oar market WWI plentifully
supplied with sea-flab, a source of great relief to the poor,
in a season of scarcity teak es the present.

The New Visitiag Magistrates, slopointa for 11.
cheater Gaol, at the Wells Sessions, are General Be-
antra, of Wookey, (son of the Bishop of Norwich),
and William Hamming, Seq. the late Sheriff, who has
not been a visitor of the real for dna last tea years.
On their first Ash, (the 20th isst) the day it Sir
F. Burdett left Mr. Haat, they pew orders leP the
high walls, which surrounded Mr. Hunt's sad the
adjoining wards, to be immediately lowered, and the
000 s, which was closed by order of the late Visiting
Magistrates, to he left open, fur the free admissios of
the son and air. By the promptness ■nd activity of
Mr. Hardy, the governor, this long-protracted askance
is already removed, and the walls are lowered oat-
h ilf; so that they are now only ten instead of twenty
feet high.---The sea sad air have since penetrated
these gloomy recesses, from whence both had been
excluded, by the notable contrivances of the late
Gaoler, for the last twelve years.

At the above Sessions, aCommittee of Magistrates
was appointed to visit all the prisons in the county.
with a view to the adoption of such alterations in
their management and discipline as may appear de-
sirable.—This clearly evinces the good effects which
are likely to result from the late investigation into
tile abuses of Ilchester Gaol. We trust this system
of gaol reformation will be followed op tivonghont
the conntry. We hear of humane Governors, and
deem it unneeenary to scrutinize their conduct, while
it rarely happens that the poor creatures who are
placed under their keeping have the ability or courage
to expose their tyranny ; bat we have now sufficient
proofs, that however favourable report may be, it
still requires the utmost vigilance of the magic-
Antes to see and know, that all subordinate of-
ficers act ob4dient to the duties incumbent on them.
