the spot. st.-ctircd the combatants.
Mulhollan. spite of his narrow escapes from
ball a_tid blade, was unhurt ; but the Turk had
one eye “ biirgcd tip ;” while. on his nose, the
fist of Erin had performed a diametrically con-
trasted operation, broacliing its claret, by which
a handsome vest was liberally stainetl. This
was a read_v-made-out strohg case of assault and
battery. The suffering party. addressing_ari
olliircrwlio had been led to the scene of action,
insisted on seeing the Conimantler-in-Chief, to
make complaintof the rough usage by which he
had bccii insulted. The poor Irish lad was
conveyed to the guard-house, and the Turk to
Lord Hiitcliinsoti, on whom the command had
devolved
“VVli%ii the brave Abercrombie received his
death wound.”
His lordship ordered the matter to be investi-
gated ; and Captain F ,in detailing what he
had witnessed, dwelt with pleasure on the hu-
manc impulse ofthe little Irish lighting cock.——
Still the malignant and the tiirbanetl Turk de-
inautled the life ofthe offender in expiaiion.
It was the policy of lord I-Iiitchinson to treat
the Ottomans and Mamcltikes who still hung
about our camp with every mark of rcspect.—-
Peculiar circumstances would have rentlercd it
dangerous to refuse even this request. A drum-
head court—inartial was assernbled—\1tilliollari’s
transgression fully proved, and he was ordered
for instant execution. The sentence being made
known to the belabored and vintlictiveiufidel, he
secmel appeascd, though his satisfaction was
somewhat qualified when he heard that “ the
regulationsof the British army would not permit
persons of an opposite faith to wit-ness a punish-
merit.”
In about an hour, a strong tietaciiment was
seen nizirchiug towards the sand hills in the rear
of the camp, and in the midst of this guard the
prisoner, who, to his honor be it spoken, seemed
to hear his fate with extreme fortitude. As far
as the soldiers would permit, the poor Arab fol-
lowed on his donkey, wringing his hands, and
wailing over this reward of his protector’s good
nature. Just ere Jertiiny's escort turned this
grateful creature back, the condemned man beg-
ged leave to speak with him-—“ That is,” said
Jcininy, as his etitreaiy was granted. “shake
his brown band, and pat his brown ha.-tic, in
token that, if it war to do agin, I’d do that. and
more, for an unlucky divil as couldn't help him-
self: and Idon’t mind what‘s come of it all, my
man ; so be aisy l”
-The gallant bearing ofilie speaker re-assured
the being to whose wrongs he was a victim, and
they parted. The appointed spot was ‘soon
gaiued—the fatal volley fired. As it reached
the ear of the uialtreaicd Turk, he was seen to
stiiilc, and, with a heart full ofgratificd malice,
hurried front the vicinity ofthe camp.
In a few niinutestlie soldiers returned; when,
in ftill regiinentals, carrying his musket, and ne-
cupying the centre of the rear rank, mnrchecl
Jemrny ./Vful/tollan .’ who had lent liimself to this
exhibition ofjustice, and for many ayear after-
wards would laugh over the story.
“ Shure, I liked the fun of licking the long
chap, and cliatlng him after it. He was a big-
ger jackass than the ould cabbage man’s own, if
he thought my lord would rob the sarvice ofa lad
like me for all the Turks that were wliiskers. I
tuk good care to keep shot of him ever after, for
all t.ha.t-—as, if we had met, he’d have fallen out
wid me for being alive, to a sartaitity; and the
next sliiudy I had wid him I might not be let oil’
so convaniciit. The Arawbian did twig uie at
last, and frightened enough he was ; but tipped
him suiiiinitt handsome, not only to show I was
no Fetch, but to make him hold his tongue.”

Legal Pleasanlrics.—-’I‘ii_ey originate more

about the plcasantrics of tilt]! region, that is
quite delightful. From a late Missouri Journ-

eminent legal genlleinau oftliat state. If it be
as new to the reader as to us, we will guarantee
its favorable suffrages: being once opposed to

seldom see things in the same light; and they
"lions ofthe law, and that very honestly, while,
"at the same time, neither cart see any earthly

because they look at different. sides of the sub-

Particulars Qf the loss of the Glasgow.
The American ship Glasgov . of New Yorlii
‘Nrii. Robinson C()lllll]ftE“.t.l()l‘, burthcn 433 tons.
.-tailed from Liverpool for New York on the 8th
i<‘t:brvary, with a general cai‘go_ consisting of
iron, corn. copper, still, and bale goods, and ‘J0
passctigcrs, emigrants, of whom about 20 were
§'i_eiiiz.ilcs. The crew were I7 in ntirnbcr, inclu-
tliiig the captain. From the time of her depar-
ture until the day previous to the unfortunate oc-
curroiice which we are about to relate, she en-
countered a continuance of hazy vveather-and
contrary winds, which detained her beating a-
bout the clianel. On the 14th tiic weather clea-
rerl, antl during the day, which was very line.
they were in sight of Tuscar light,‘ when they
reasonably anticipatetl a prosperous voyage, be-
ing nearly clear of the channel. That riight,
however, the weather became as thick as it had
been on the preceding days of the voyage-
Ai live o’clock next morning, the chicf_matc
beiugin charge, and going at the rate of nine or
ten knots, the ship struck upon one ofthose dari-
gerous half tide rocks, the Barrels, about eleven
miles east of Ttisker, and swung round so vio-
lcntly, that her stern immediately after struck
in the same place, with trcmeiidoiis force, and
().'l.‘<lllm)i'(l the rudder. Frotn the great way
wliir-li was on the vessel, she went completely
over the rocks, after striking a third time. Just
previously to her striking, the dangerous prox-
imity totbc shore was perceived, and the cap-
tain catne on deck just in time loses her strike
without being able to prevent it. From witness-
ing the force with which she was drove on the
rock, the captain expected that she would go
down ina few miiitites. VVhen she floated a.-_
gain, the water was rushing in fore and alt, as If
iliroiigli two sluices. The first shock apprized
the passengers of their danger, and all rushing
upon deck created the scene of confusion usual
in such situations. _
Comparative order was restored by the cap-
tain aud officers, who ll1']l11C(.ll2llCly set about
getting out the long boat, and in doing so, their
axe, the only one that could be found, broke,
and they were obliged to turnthcir attention to
the piiinaiice and latincli, both very small, and
not capable of affording security to one sixth
the number in the vessel. But no cars could
be fotind, and all hope being thus shut out,
they looked tipon their fate as fixed, for the ship
was fast sinking. During this awful period
they kept ringing the bells, the only signal avai-
lable in this hazy we: thcr. ’I‘lic scene on
board was now dreadful; the passengers in
the agonyhoffear, and frantic with the sudden
prospect of death, whilst the captain with the
most determined of his crew, liaving done eve-
ry tliiiig that human exertion could cllccl, stood
still, calmly awaiting the result.
Atlength the water becoming lovcl with the
rail, Captain Robinson got into the launch. and
had scarcely left the ship when she went down
with the velocity oflightning, carrying with her
about a dozen persons whom were still on deck,
amongst whom were the chief mate and one
seanian; oftliese six were picked tip; and now
a new danger arose, for the boats frotii the fre-
quent striking against the ship, were so shat-
tered. that they were barely kept afloat by bail-
ing. and had to row considerable distance to the
schooner." In this the hand of I’ro'vidi:nce was
again discertiablc, for the instant the men were
out they both sank alongside.
She is sunk in thirty fatlioms water: none of
the bodies of those who went down in the ship,
have yet come ashore.
A couple ofseconds after the vessel stink, the
air burst open the her poop and blew it tip, to-
gether with spars, rigging, &c. as if she had
been blown up with powder. Two or three
persons were found clinging to the poop after it
had thus been blown up to the surface.
Front comparing the number of the passen-
gers and the crew, with those who have been
saved, it would appear that there were 25 lost
-—yet the captain and second mate assert, that
there were at most but ten or eleven persons on
deck when she went dowti, at which time it was
not probable any person was below; of these,
six have been saved as we have before stated.
Loss ofthe Jane and Jlfargm-et.
The following farther particulars ofthe disast-
rotis loss ofthis vessel with 200 souls on board,
are given in a letter from Liverpool of the 23d
Feb. “ All doubt as to the fate pf this tiiifortn-
nale vessel and her cargo ofhunian beings is tiow
iinliappily removed. Intelligence has been re-
ceivcd here from the Isle of Mali, which places
the fact of her total loss beyond question. The
hull bearing the words, “June and Margaret,”
was thrown on shore on the south of the Calf Is-
land, and other portions ofthe wreck having drift-
evl on shore near Castletown, Isle of Man. The
hull was fotind to contain two bodics—-one a
young man apparently 25 years of age, respect-
ably dressed, he had a small Bible and Prayer
Book in his pocket a watch, and a quantity of
sovereigns; the other was that of a buy, some
nine or ten years old. About the litill ofthe ves-
sel were sire,-wed large quantities of wearing ap-
parel. bed clothes, &c. doubtless the propert.y of
the sufferers. It is supposed the vessel must
have struck on the banks of Arklow, probably
during the night and that all on board immediate-
perislied. The recent strong north westerly
winds have thrown a considerable portion of the
wreck on the, western side ofthe Isle of Man.—-
The consignees of the lost vessel state that the
total ntitiibcr of passengers"who paid for berths
to New York by her amounted to one hundred
aiirl eighty nine, one hundred and fifty six were
adults aiitl the remaining thirty three were child-
ren and young persons under fotirteen years of
age. The only cabin passengers were the Rev.
Mr. Clr.-nicnts, a dissenting minister, from the
north oflreland, antl his family, which consisted
ofliis wife and six daughters (fine young wo-
men [min fifteen to five and twenty years ofago,)
and u ft-,_-iiale servant. The great majority of
the P{is5(gng.()I‘S were males, principally from

later than April last year. She carried /1755 10DS
per register, and possessed the reputation of
being ti fast sailcr, and a good substantial sea
vessel. The tiiifortunatc calamity cannot be
attributed to any want ofskill on the part of her
comiiiaiidcr, Captain '.Vokcs, who, with the
whole of the crew, have shared the tiiitiiiicly
beigg floated, the risk of lauiicliiiig is altogether

most constantly employed during the last fortr-
tcen’ycai's in couimanding vessels trading bo-
twecn Liverpool, New York and London; more
particularly the two latter ports, in which trade
he is W(:ll l\'n()\\'l'I. No titling have as yet been
heard of the two long boats bclorigirig the ship-
wrcck vessel, and a hope, (faint though it be) is‘
entertained that. finrlirig the vessel going to pic-a
ces, the crew, and as iriaiiy passei.igers as could
get in them, flew to the boats for sticcor, and
have been picked up by some outward bouiitl
vessel, Stich a deliverance uiiglit have occur-
rctl bi.ii the probability is fcarftilly against it. No
small boutscould live an hour in the iii_idst of
such storms as were raging at the time the disas-
ter happencd. The awful truth is too apparent
to atliiiii of any qualification, that by this ap-
palling calamity no less than 206 human beings
including the captain and crew, which consisted
of 17 persons, have been tincxpectczlly and in-
stantly sent to their account, “ wiili all their ini-
perfection on their licad.” It isio be feared that
iliissliotrlting cv.n.nt is not the only one which the
present winter will disclose. At this nioincrit,
