The Flora transport, Williams, from Lisbon,
foundered lately near Cork•. The Ware and
.fiaur-
ti en seamen were drowned;
.three were saved by a
Wexford sloop.

A funeral of a very extraordinary kind lately
took place at Lorne Furnace. A man of the name
of Wilson Hooper directed by his will, that he
should be buried in a %nit of his best clothes, with
his hat, boots, &c. All this was strictly attended
to, with a trivial exception. The boots being new,
could not, for an obvious revolt, be put upon his
legs; and as it was not ticegled proper that they
should be anywise cut, or that he should go Mith.
out them, it was resolved to throw them into 'the
cof4u above Wall which was ;ccurdingly done.
