DUBLIN, APRIL 13.—Arrived the Eleanor, Simpson, from Quebec; Czar, Edmonds, Cadiz ; Elenora, Beaker, Memel.  The Devonport, from Liverpool to Philadelphia, was on shore near the latter port 9th ult. The Tagus, bound to Liverpool with about six hundred bales of cotton on board, took fire at New Orleans Feb. 22, and sunk.  The Ganges, from Maranharn, bound to Liverpool, was driven on shore in cushendall Bay, 11th inst., three feet water in the hold—crew saved.  A large ship was seen on shore the 12th inst. in Cusl.endall Bay, by the Coleraine steamer. The City of Dublin, from Liverpool, was on shore near Louth 12th inst.  Of all the atrocious articles which, in the course of our Newspaper life it has fallen to our lot to peruse, that which appeared in the Times of yesterday, respecting the Duchess of Kent, bears the palm. That lady's conduct, as a wife, as a mother, as a protector, as guardian of her Royal Daughter, has been beyond all praise. Why is the Duchess of Kent the object of the base—the most unmanly vituperation of the Times? Has her demeanour been of such a character as to justify this loyal print par excellence to make an attack upon the mother of the Heiress Presumptive to the Throne that would be considered indecent if aimed at a femile in the private ranks of society ? But it is fortunate for the Duchess of Kent that the reputation of her goodness and virtue has gone forth before her, and consequently neutralised the vile attack of the Times. Her Royal Highness is now acting in a way that must insure for herself and the Princess Victoria the affection of every loyal subject. She esteems the good opinion of the people, and leaves it to the Duke of Cumberland, once maligned, we should suppose, by this very Timts, if he be now the upright and immaculate person which this consistent journal now represents him. But we are wasting space about, this waspish assault, conscious that the Duchess of Kent and her daughter, revered by millions, not even ex cepting Lyndhurst's "aliens," can defy the puny efforts of the once mighty " thunderer."—Morning Advertiser.  We are happy to find that Lord IVlulgrave, with his wonted generosity and love for literary as well. as other merit, has appointed Mr. Anster, the accomplished scholar and successful translator of Goethe's Faust, to the lucrative situation of Registrar of the Court of Admiralty, formerly held by Mr. Pineau. We are rejoiced at this appointment, because it speaks not only highly for Lord Mulgrave's judgment, but proclaims that the spirit of the age is progressing in the right direction, when it is found imperative to pay such homage to literary distinction. People always delight to see men of talent promoted • aad if their pursuits have been of such a description as to yieligenerel pleasure and instruction, the interest in their welfare becomes a subject of universal concern. The contrary is the case when individuals of no merit are elevated to places of trust for which they are obviously unfit. We a few days ago, in no measured terms, censured the bad appointments made by the Irish Government, and in common justice we are now compelled to speak favourably of one of a different cornplexion.—Morning Advertiser. The four murdered children of Greensmith were interred in one grave, in the Methodist burial-ground at Basford, on Thursday. The bodies were placed in separate coffins, and deposited in the ground on each side of their deceased mother. Many hundred of sympathising spectators attended the funeral. Greensmith, since his committal to prison, preserves the same apathy and indifference as he exhibited on the Coroner's inquest, with now and then a sort of punctious visiting when his children, of whom he appears to have been fond, are named. In other respects he seems altogether unconscious of having done anything wrong, attributing the calamity wholly to the threats made use of to him by Woodward as to the arrears of rent then due. His mother is at present residing in Nottingham, and labouring under the greatest anxiety of mind, in consequence of the unhappy fate of her grand-children, and the dreadful situation her son is now placed in.
