Loss or tHe Sreamsarp MaNenester.—'This vessel,
sailing between Hull and Hamburg, has been lost, with every
soul on board. She left Hull, under the command of Cap-
tain Dudley, on the 14th June, with a miscellaneous cargo ;
and, on arriving on the opposite coast, struck on the Marle
Sand, on the coast of Holstein, about twenty-five miles from
the shore, during a hurricane, and became a complete wreck.
The sands are described’ as formed of quicksand; and are
said to be as formidable to the wariner off that coast as the.

The news of the past se’nnight is very unimportant. The

''#here seems to be some misgiving in the provinces as to
the propriety of allocating the repea! funds in the manner
in which they have been hitherto appropriated. ‘The Zi-

‘The Address from the Corporation of the city of Dublin,
in behalf of Mr. O’Connell, was presented to Her Majesty on
Wednesday, June 19th, at Buckingham Palace, by a deputa-
tion consisting ofthe Lord Mayor and a number of members
of the Council and, corporate’ officers. Her Majesty received
the address, seated on the Throne, Prince Albert statiding
by her side, and the Duke of Wellington on her right. Sir
Robert Peel and other members of Government were also
present. The Queen returned a gracioue answer to the. ad-
dress, expressing her thanks for the loyal sentiments which
it contained, and, in reference to the object of the deputation,
assuring them that any just ground of complaint would be
duly investigated by the ordinary courts of public justice.

presented the address to Her Majesty. ‘The seconder of the
address had then the honour of being presented to Her Ma-

his regret at what bad taken. place, more particularly as

it,

must cause a separation from some with whom he had long |
been counected by the closest ttes—one with whom he bad |
been endeared by friendship for twenty years. Mr.Stewart
wished to address the audience, but was called to order, and |
desisted. Mr. McRae then wished to speak, and asked the
Synod to adjourn, that he might have an opportunity of ad-
dressing the audience, but was called to order by Mr. Robb,
who stated thatas he (Mr MeR.) was no longer a member)
of the Court, be bad novight to interfere with its proceedings.
Mr. Robb went on to say, that heand his brethren were
placed in a delicate situation, not knowing whether they
were to have the use of the Chureh, or to be allowed to bold

said that he could speck on the part of the proprietors, that

reference to the acgus#ions, but they would emblazon the
harsh ee of the Judge upon everysign-post, in the |
colony! vhy this taciturnity upon a sithject so initerest- |
ing? Because there are notorious circumstances connected |
with the case, which, if those charges were promulgated

the entire affair tham that presented to Lord Stanley, and |
those who are now half-doubting, might he strengthened ih
the conviction that the inferences of Mr. Bourne were not)

have arrived at the right conclusion, without the aid of any

other light than that afforded by their owa experience and ,
knowledge ; and ifawe were to write volumes, we could fur- |
nish no better illustration or proof of this than the fact that,

sented to Mr. Bourne—one ofthe Inhabitants of the the me-
