CORK, J. 24.—A report was received at Co on E'unday morning, that a French 'lugger privateer was seen off Ballycotton ; on which "the Virago anA Resolute gun-brigs, and Earl,Spoicer cutter, iriimediately gdt under weigh; toi) in (I:lest of the privateer: The wind 'being "strong in froM Ore Sonthward, the Resolute, in endeavouring to beat out, got foul of the wreck of the unfortunate Bri-' tannia West Indiarnan. She was shortly cleared off; but suffered some injury. ,  We understand that in consequence of the ,ria• presentations_ of Admiral WHITSHED, the Lords--of the -Admiralty have ordered round to Cove, eight Dock Lighters, of a.- particular constru&ion, two _of which arrived under convoy of his Majesty's sloop Argus, Captain STEWART, on Sunday, for the purpose of removing the wreck in this harbour.  A boy was drowned yesterday in the basin, in the Grell Park; by the breaking of the The. ponds in Sc. James's and the Green Parks are again frozen over, and crowds of skaiters appeared yesterday on each.  On Tuesday last, a most distressing accident boppened to Mr. Bloxham, miller, of Avon Dasset, as he: was returning from Warwidk- with a waggon load of coals. He stopped his teana.at Tachbrooke,. to adjust the gearing on th,. thill-horse, and by the horses suddenly _ going forward; he was throWn down, and the wheels going Oyer him in a longi tudinal diteEtion, separated the whole of his riffs' from the sternum, or bzeait-bone, desperately wounding the lungs, which were partly forced thrriugh his side.. In this dreadful state' he survived .from twelve o'clock at noon, the time the accident took place, till five on the foll Owing. morning.  In our. Paper Some-time ago,- we recorded an RCcount of a...most shocking murder, committed by. John Williams, late of the Wood-houses, near Whitchurch, on the body, of his wife. Notwithstanding the most diligent search, no traces of the murderer could be discovered, and it was concluded he had made his escape.—ln eluding the punishment with I- which the law would have visited his crime, he met with it in the torturing agonies of a guilty canscience.—He fella vi&im to despair, and died by his own hands !—On Thux3day morninghis body was found hanging at the top ola barn in Norbury, near the place where he had committed his crime, From its putrid state, it is probable he had hung himself soon after the murder. We have not heard the vet, 'diet of the Coroner's Inquest, but it may be calculated upon ,with tolerable precision. • CORONER'S IbieaussT.—At the beginning of the last week, the wdowlady of art Officer in the Dutch service, of the name of Legarte, left, her 3µu4 ient~,in Balfour-place, :Mary-le-bore, to walk' before dinner, as usual; but she never after return-, ed. The .family; consisting of three daughters and. a: sons made every possible inquiry, and having heard that the body of a feinale *as picked up in the Thames, above bridge, on Tuesday.last, the son went to view it, and he beheld • the corpse of his mother. The lady was about 60, and the daughter. of an English tnerchmt. ; and it:was supposed that pecuniary embarrassments led her to her fate. Ver.., dict--Found drowned.  The drawing -of the State Lottery will commence in a few 'days.--The demand:for-Tickets and Shares at HORNSBY and Co.'s hourly increases. The sale at their Country .Offices-is considerably more than usual. The exchange of 3 per cents: into 4 per cents. instituted by 'HORNSBY and Co. assists the Lottery much. There can be no doubt, from the good opinion the public entertain of the improved mode of !drawing, but that the whole of the Lottery will be soon disposed of 'therefore Holinisev—and Co. solicit their Friends to a speedy purchase— No. 26, Cornhill, and St. Margaret's Hill, Borough, where Capital Prizes have been lately obtained tO a considerable amount, and paid immediately.
