yuetaaclou and fatal shipzoyecd

1 Melancholy and fatal shlpurech.--it lis with Inc greatest regret that we have to communicate the particulars of one of the most fatal siiipwrecks that has oe- lcurred on the coasts of this country for several years. 0n Friday night last, the Newry, Captain Crosbie, from the port of Ncwry bound for Quebec, with about 400 passengers on board, ran on the rocks at Portinclineon, near Brad sey, in Caernarvon bay, and was dashed to pieces in few hours, tzro lssteadred of tbe passe4gers perisked i,s Ute zvreck. The particulars which we have been able to coffee oi titiis dreadful event are tine foi- flowing ship left Newry on We'd nesday, and in beating down the chan Incl, the weather being very foggy, she got too far into CaernarYon bay, and was driven on the rocks, about 9o'clocl1 on Friday night. \ considerable part of the passengers, who were Irish eni- grants, were below when the ship struck, and such was the violence of the shock, that the ladders between decks were knocked away, and the ship filling with water, every soul below perished. The Captain, with the crew, and about half the passengers, succeeded in reaching the shore. though in what manner We have not learnt. They were ali in the most wretehed condition, many of them having lost every thing that they possess | ed in the world. The greatest part of them are at Caernarvon, where they have been treated with great kindness by the inhabitants. A passenger arrived from Portinclineon, at Caernarvon short time before the last accounts were sent away, who stated that the ship had gone to pieces, and that the shore was covered with dead bodies. Among those who have perished are said to be several respectable families. Captain Crosbie, with the crew, and about g of the pas Isengers, are expected to arrive in Liv- erpool to-day, by the Abbey, steam Eboat-Liverpool Times.
 THE EXPEDITION TO ALG1ERs.
 Extract of letter iron. .Harseilles, dated
 April Ii, 1890.
 Here; as at Lyons, whence wrote to you last, the expedition Is the gene- ral topic of conversation; with this dii- ference, that at Lyons it is unanimously blamed, whereas at Marseilles it is as universally approved. This is not to be wondered at when we contemplate the different interests of the two cities; the commerce of the latter only will be in- Iereased by this important event. 1t is true that this mode of viewing matters savers of egotism; but such is the way of the world, and we must take it as We find it.
 There is no chance of the arrival of the Dauphin, an event announced as certain i'll all the newspapers. The pre- sence of the Prince might, indeed, have 2 salutary effect on the armyy, ss;;..tt ss;;..tt tiis tt.iis advantage would not counterbalanceth the inconyeniences resulting from even a temporary suspension in the prepara- tions fer the war, which must take place under such circumstances.
 The Admiral has himself made trial of three steam-packets offered by the American Consul at Havre; they might be it for the navigation of the Rbone, but they appear of too weak structure for seai moreover, the price repaired for each is 300,000 francs, which is far beyond the sum which 1t would be pru- dent to bestow on such vessels. It has. therefore, been determined not to pur- chase them.
 Intelligence from Africa announces the perfect security of the Dey and his Divan. We are informed that he scarcely condescends to make prepara. tions for defence. In vain do oificious persons-for such are to be found ih every elime-endeavor to make him sensible of the imminence of his peril. He is told of the magnitude of the pre- Iparations making against him; that they are, on a larger scale than even these made by Bonaparte for the Egyptian campaign. To this he answers, "GoD IS great, and the. sea IS dangerous" On the other hand it is known that the po- pulace subjected to the yoke of this bar barian hail with joy the approaching arrival of our fleet. If the inhabitants of Algiers placed immediately under his grasp, dread the effects of his rage, those who live e1tra nauros may escape his fury by quitting their nomade dwell iings, and thus laugh at the impotence Of his threats. No doubt can exist that as soon as the expeditionary army shall
