LOSS OF THE PACKET-SHIP LIVERPOOL

We have already announced the loss, on the banks of
Newfoundland, of the packet-ship Liverpool, which sailed
from New York from [sic] Liverpool on her first voyage on
the 16th ult. The whole of the passengers and crew are
saved, though their sufferings must have been severe, as
they were exposed to weather for five days in open boats,
when they were taken up by a fishing boat, and conveyed to
St. John's, Newfoundland. Captain Lee and the crew, with
one passenger, have returned to New York ; and the other
passengers have come to England in the Dart, which arrived
off Bristol on Saturday, 24th inst. The only particulars yet
known of the lamentable event, are contained in the
following extract of a letter, received at Liverpool on
Monday last, from one of the passengers.

"Brig Dart, off Bristol, 24th August, 1822.
"The Liverpool was lost on the 25th ult. on the banks of
Newfoundland, by running foul of an island of ice, but all
hands saved and put into St. John's ; thence most of the
passengers proceeded hither in the Dart, of this place, but a
passenger (an infant child) having died on the passage, we
are compelled to wait here the visitation of the quarantine
officer, which must delay us from landing until to-morrow.
"Captain lee sailed on the same day with us (6th Aug.) in
a schooner for New York, with the whole of the crew and
one of the passengers.
"The vessel only floated two hours, and nothing was
saved except the clothes we had on and a little specie. We
were five days in the open boats, and on the 7th arrived at
St. John's, having been taken up by a fishing-boat on the
fifth day."

The following is a list of the passengers:
Mr. N. T. Heard and family, of New York ; Mr. John
Simpson, of London ; Mr. Robert Mather, of Liverpool ;
Mr. Wm. Christie, of Jamaica ; Mr. Samuel Wright, of
Savannah ; Mr. William Castle, of Montreal ; Mr. Thomas
Wright, of England, and Mr., G. A. Northedge, of Montreal.

SHIPWRECKS
MELANCHOLY WRECK and LOSS of LIVES

Our coast (Cork) has just been the scene of as disastrous a shipwreck as we
have had to record since the loss of the Albion at Garrettstown strand, in
the course of last winter, to which dreadful calamity the present is in a
great measure circumstantially alike, with this additional local misfortune
attending it, that we have lost an upright and industrious fellow-citizen,
a native of England, who had resided among us for some years, and had earned
the good opinion of all who knew him.

On Wednesday night, about half-past 7 o'clock, the ship Wear, of Bristol,
200 tons burden, Capt. Emerson, bound from thence to the West Indies, with a
cargo of coals, bricks,and herrings, but intending to call at this port,
for orders from Messrs. Cuthbert and Company, was totally lost about a quarter
of a mile West of Ballycotton Island under the circumstances stated in the
account which we subjoin, fvurnished by the mate of the vessel, who is one
of the survivors. Of the crew and passengers, consisting of 36 persons,
only 14 of the former were saved, having been washed on the rocks by the surf.
Among the former was Mr. Jones, the gentleman to whom we have already
alluded, who carried on the millinery and straw business in this city, and
was on his return from his native country, where he had lately gone, when
the Wear presented, as he thought, a favourable opportunity for him to
come home by, she being a large and nearly new vessel. There was also, we
learn, two ladies, one of them with child, who was proceeding from the West Indies,
where her friends and relatives resided. The shrieks of these unfortunate
females, when the vessel struck, and when all hope had fled, are described
in a letter from the affecting scene as truly agonizing; but the writer
adds, that the boldness of the coast and the fury of the storm rendered it
impossible to afford the least assistance. Some of the survivors escaped
by clinging to the masts and rigging, and dropping from thence on the cliffs
and rocks, so completely was the vessel driven on them.
Several of the bodies of the helpless sufferers have been thrown
ashore-among them those of one of the females, and of Mr. Jones, the latter much mutilated, having been struck, we learn, by one of the masts or spars.

The following is the account given by the mate who survived:
"Ship Wear, of Bristol, bound to Cork
"Jan. 1st, at 7:30 p.m. sighted the Irish land, Ballycotton island, bearing
N.E. by N. distance estimation from three to five miles-blowing a heavy
gale on a sea running high, and no hope of clearing the land on either tack;
made more sail, it being the last resource; but, alas! in vain; at this time
close in the rocks, and no room to wear ship. At 9,30 p.m. let go the
larboard bower anchor, but to no purpose, which she immediately brought
home, and drifted with broadside on the rocks; and such was the fury of
the surf, that, in ten minutes after she struck, not a single vestige of the
vessel was then to be seen.

"And it is now my melancholy duty to related the loss of the Captain, W.
Emerson; the pilot, Genete Thyner; seventeen of the ship's company, out of
about 28, and two females, one infant, and three gentlemen, passengers-in
all twenty-five souls perished. Myself, the second mate, and eleven hands,
escaped a watery grave.

"Edward Joiner, Mate."

SHIPWRECK
On the morning of Thursday last, a large masted vessel was perceived
drifting towards the Brannaghs, an uninhabited island, situate within a
mile of the large island of Arran-shortly after which, she struck, and
immediately went to pieces. Her cargo consisted of American pine timber,
and some spars. From the appearance of the vessel, it is supposed she must
have been a considerable time at sea, and for some time deserted by her
crew, previous to striking. We have not been able to ascertain her
name (as there were no papers found) from whence she sailed, or her
intended destination. The cargo has been protected through the vigilance
of the Water-guards, stationed at Arran and Golden Head, under the command
of Lieutenant Sterne. We are informed that Lieutenant Sterne's party was
assisted by the resident gentlemen on the island, Patrick O'Flaherty,
Martin O'Maley & Digby Devenish, Esqrs.

The Isabella, convict ship, sailed from Cork on Thursday, for New South
Wales, with between three and four hundred culprits.

The Hope, from Belfast, with passengers, &c., for St. John's, was lost on
Sable Island, on the 2d June, when the following persons were drowned:
John M'Rannell, parish of Killead, seaman; Eliza Williamson, from Belfast;
and Margaret and Jane Moorhead, of Monaghan, passengers. There were 155
passengers on board.

NEWFOUNDLAND
Arrived on Monday, the transport ship, Loyal Briton, Captain Pewtress,
thirty days from Cork, with the detachment of the 74th. This arrangement
was changed by an order from the Commander-in-Chief, hence the transport,
after taking in some ordnance store, will proceed to New Brunswick with
the troops she brought out.

HALIFAX
The head-quarters of the 52d Regiment arrived here in the Cato? transport
on the 15th from Cork, and was followed on the 16th by a second
detachment, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Rowan, in the Vibelia;
both ships sailed again on the 19th for St. John's, New Brunswick.

When the several changes have taken place, the 52d Regiment will occupy
New Brunswick, and take all the detachments, as well there as in Nova
Scotia and Prince Edward's Island, while the 74th and 81st Regiments
remain unbroken in the garrison of Halifax. These arrangements will delay
the return of a part of the 62d some weeks, by employing the transports
destined for their conveyance.

DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE

At a late hour on Saturday evening, we received a letter by the Western Coach,
dated from Skibbereen, at twelve o'clock on the preceding night, stating that on Thursday
evening, a boat belonging to Mr. James O'Driscoll, of Crookhaven, having a crew of
four men on board, was seen off that place in a most dangerous situation, when Daniel
Coghlan, Esq. with whose intrepid character we doubt not many of our readers are
acquainted, observing them from the harbour, immediately put to sea in his yacht,
taking with him no less that fourteen men, a smaller number being inadequate to
perform what he calculated they would, in all probability, be called upon to do,
in a tremendous sea and violent storm. Mr. Coghlan succeeded in reaching the boat,
and having got the crew on board the yacht, he took her in tow and was making
some way, when the line broke and carried away his mast, to which it was made
fast. The yacht thus became unmanageable, and was in this state when night came on,
leaving those who were spectators from the shore in a state of the utmost
apprehension for her fate. On the following morning she could be still discerned,
drifting before the wind into the Western Ocean, without any other prospect of
relief than that which was afforded by the chance of her having been fallen in
with by some vessel or fishing boat; and what adds to the horror of their situation
is the fact that there was no provisions on board, no precaution of the kind having been
thought of when the enterprise, which had for its object to save the lives of our poor men,
was entered on. - Since the receipt of the letter from which we have gleaned those
particulars, we have not had any other account from the scene of this very
unpleasant occurrence.--Evening Paper.

[From the Cork Chronicle]

We stopped the Press on Wednesday evening to state, that an account
had reached town from Bantry, with the pleasing intelligence of
Daniel Coghlan, Esq. of Crookhaven, having made a port in safety.
Letters received in town yesterday confirm the gratifying information;
and it appears that the perilous situation in which Mr. Coghlan had been
placed, arose from the yacht having become unmanageable, owing to her
mainsail being rent into atoms whilst taking the crew out of the hooker,
which that gentleman and his assistants so humanely, and with so much risk,
had saved from impending death. This circumstance occurred in the height of
a tremendous gale, blowing off the land, and the yacht, with Mr. Coghlan and
13 persons on board, was driven to sea, having no other provisions than a few
potatoes, a small supply of water, and without candles; and upon this slender
store the entire hand to subsist from Thursday till Saturday evening, a period
of fifty hours, when by great perseverance, skill and labour, they succeeded in
regaining Crookhaven. Some idea may be formed of what they suffered in the mean
time, when it is known, that during the time the were out, Mr.Coghlan's share
of food amounted to four potatoes, with scarcely a drop of water to maintain them!
The result of their intrepidity cannot, however, but atone for their sufferings,
as they have the satisfaction of knowing that they have been the instruments
of saving the lives of three fellow creatures, who inevitably would have
perished but for their timely, though desperate expertise.
It is to be hoped that the heroic conduct of the poor fellows who participated
in this event, will not be permitted to pass without some substantial reward.

Two steam boats are now in forwardness to ply between Limerick
and Dublin, by Canal and from thence to Liverpool. The proprietors
will engage to deliver goods, during summer in three days at Liverpool,
and in winter, in four days from Dublin harbour.


Steam trading vessels are about to be established between Dublin
and Glasgow.


The Supberb steam packet is daily expected to ply from Cork to
Lisbon and Naples; the fare twenty guineas to Lisbon and thirty-five
guineas to Naples. A small vessel, between forty and fifty tons burthen,
was seen to go down near Blackwater, in the gale on Thursday morning.
The violence of the gale was extreme, and no assistance could possibly
be afforded. Unfortunately all the persons on board perished. Another
vessel about the same size was seen in distress the same morning off the
Saltees, and it is supposed met the same fate.-- Waterford Mail.

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECKS

The following is an extract of a letter from

Liverpool, dated January 11, from a
passenger on board the Anacreon, bound to
Africa:--"We are back, and may be very
thankful for it; as an American packet,
United States, of 600 tons, and two brigs are
lost in Carnarvon Bay, and all drowned. The
United States was a fine vessel, nearly new,
and was commanded by Captain Wilson,
bound from Liverpool for New York."

LARGE EXPORT. The brig Jane Haddow,
Captain Hamilton, cleared out from Greenock on
Monday last for Calcutta, with perhaps the largest
cargo of dry goods on board that any ship has ever
sailed with from Scotland, for any part of the
world. This vessel is three hundred and forty-six
tons register, and her entire loading is composed
of cotton yarn and other manufactured goods, from
Glasgow and its neighbourhood. The value of
this cargo will not be far short of £80,000.
Melancholy Occurrence. But a few posts back
we announced the marriage of a fellow-citizen,
Lieutenant William Star Fitz-Gerald, late 72d
Regiment, and brother to Captain Fitz-Gerald, of
Richmond-place. He was married at the British
Ambassadorıs at Paris, on the 8th of December,
to Frances, eldest daughter of the late Major
Leavis, Northumberland Militia, a truly amiable,
interesting, and accomplished young Lady, and
possessing in an eminent degree all those inestimable
qualities, which could not fail to have rendered
their union a happy one. On New Yearıs Day, that
is, but three weeks and two days from their bridal one,
both bride and bridegroom were consigned to the same watery
grave, in the Fanny Packet, which was wrecked in Aubinıs Bay,
Island of Jersey, and not far from the ³haven where
they would be.² The conduct of the Master of
the vessel is represented as highly reprehensible,
and will, we understand, be made the subject of
public investigation. Limerick Chronicle.

EMIGRATION- Emigration from Ireland
to America, through Waterford, continues to
an extent quite unprecedented. The fine ship
the Bolivar, of Waterford six months old, the
sole property of our fellow-citizen, Mr. John
Carigar, of 385 tons register, burthen about
800 tons, sailed on Thursday for Halifax with
about 350 passengers. She is intended to
continue the North American trade.

EMIGRATION- It would appear from
a letter of our correspondent at Halifax
(Nova Scotia) that they are much overrun
with poor emigrants form Ireland in that
town. It seems, that in the course of one
month, not less than three ships had arrived
from the port of Waterford alone. Our
correspondent mentions, as a proof of the
distress of these emigrants, that there were
sixty of them in the poor-house of Halifax,
and that the town was swarming with Irish
paupers in the most abject state of destitution
and wretchedness; in fact, that they subsisted
almost entirely upon alms. We should imagine
that when so gloomy an account as this
obtains publicity in Ireland, it would produce
the effect of checking the popular mania for
emigration at present prevailing in that
country; for let the poor people in Ireland be
ever so badly off, they cannot well be in a
much more miserable plight than that
described by our correspondent.--London Paper

hundred and thirty-four deaths on the
passage from Africa.
