I POST OFFICE STEAM BOATS. THE following is a correct report of what oc- curred in the. House of Commons, on the 9th in- stant, on.this subject,. so interesting to the Irish and this country generally: Sir HENRY PAHNELL said, the petition he held in his hand was signed by 110 of the most respect- able Merchants of the City of Dublin, it com- plained that the recommendations of the Com- mittee, that had made a report on the Holyhead steam-boats, had not been attended to, and that the public, in consequence,, had suffered very great inconvenience. The importance ofiliqsub-, ject-required that some explanation should be givfett io the House concerning it. Having been of the Committee, he begged to des- cribe the way the business had been examined The Committee having ascertained, that" it the opinion of the Post-oflice that three pack&Bi -were stifiicient, and engines of thirty- hors^ipowei- large enough, examined, in order to forrnifeeoiTect opinion upon this point, seventeen engiiiicers, mae captains of steam-boats, and six -itid the result of the evidence be- iflrdécidedlyio fa,vp-ur ,of, ,ha ring not less, tilail fouriteam-boats, each with two fifty-horse el)" girfes)'recommended this arrangement to the Post- Wiit nothing had been done in consequence of thfs rdconim&ldation', and the petitioners com- plainf with reason, that the packets are longer on -than they ought to be, thereby, bringing theirbetters to Dublin, after the hours' ofbiisfriess; and that the Holyhead packets are pas^6^ at seav whenever t-lie.Liverrool packets fall Sr uith them. The-petilibners have a righ t to complain, that their letters are delayed nearly three;1 hours at Holyhead; For, although the London iftail arrives tllereat half-past four in the morning, the Packet does not till between seven and eight, waitirig-fortheChester mail. If proper re- gulatiohs were adopted by the Post-office, English lett(3rSf might be delivered, not only much earlier in iftiMin, biit so early as to effect a saving of twenty-four hours in the correspondence between London and Dublin. The mail might arrive at irolyh^iiTl at" two o'clock in, the morning, and the "letters' might be delivered in Dublin by eleven and if k packet left Howth at four o'clock in the evening, it would arrive in time at Holyhead for the Lonjlon mail, if made to departat the proper hour: A second packet ought to sail with the Chester'mail; for it is no longer fit to have the London cotrespondence keptback to accommodate it In consequence of so few packets- being enj- ployeci, it frequently happens that there is no packet at Howth to .carry the mail.; thisis always the detse whenever the weather prevents a packet from arri ving at Howth from Holyhead in regular ebutse; Passengers frequently "come down to HowtlrfroinDublin, and have to return to Dublin; thougS, the wieather- may be as fair us ppssible for, crossing the chann 1 To remedy this, Howth bai- bortsr should alw > have, an ?xtra steam-packet in it. Eat h p ktt ought1 to remain there one •dky after its ariavai froioHolyhead. The service -of G ovm-nmeut" requires this ^gulatiou^- for a .^ecessity mighiiirise to send off dispatches, where delay would he most injurious, and particularly so, now tliat th^ frish estabUshmerits for carrying on- public business have been abolished, and tlkir business transferred to London; The petitioners also complained of the high chargeg of the packets; the rate of charge, was 4 4. mile—while that of other steam-boats, on ah average, all over Great Britain, was 2d. a mile. The charge for a carriage with twohorses, in crossing the channel, was greater than posting the same distance—so that the Post-office made travelling by sea, dearer than, travelling land. ver blind policy, it contributed to Y, diminish their revenue, and would inevitably lead to a competition against them, that would, with proper exertion, deprive them of all their packet revenue. If the Post-office will not lower thwf charges, this was the remedy the. petitioners Would have recourse to thsir success would I be, Certain; and the good they would do to the pub- lic would be incalculable. The petitioners also atte-ntiort of the House to the state of the road f^Bm Bangbr to Chester. they very truly say, that this is a particularly bad road and they, justicei ripresent. the correspondence betwfefen Dublin and Liverpool of every great im- portance. They offer to contribute funds towards providing the meafisof improving this road, and 9 this cBrtaitily is well worthy the ponsideration of Government, whether some plan cannot be devised for eji^edlting the communication between Dub- lin aMl Liverpool, and the manufacturing dis- trict of the North of England. The Hon. Metriter concluded by saying, that he would take another opportunity ofbringing before the House, Hie conduct of, the Post-office, concerning the Holyhead steam-packets.

Mrs. Byrne had obtained great popularity in her profession, and was ap- plied to by defendant, in March, 1821, for an in- troductory lcttr 16 the crew of the Sappho, then just arrived in Plymouth harbour. A Mrs. Mul- lens was to sell the goods, and the profits were to be .equally divided between her and the parties to this action. The sons of Sappho were jolly fellows, and Mrs. Mullens soon found herself a gainer of sixty pounds, t 20 of which she retain- ed for lierielf, and paid the other two shares to the defendant, in trust, for himself and Mrs. Byrne. The cause of the present action is too apparent: the widow had not received her £20, so justly due to her as the promine mobile of the whole concern. The testimony established the of Mrs. Mullens, and the justice of Mrs. Byrne's demand, which was acknowledged by a verdict for the plaintiff—■DamagesJt'ZO. StttpWlZECKS.-It Will be recollected, that in November last, the Wellington, Capt. Thomas, on her passage from Chester to London, was wrecked 011 the French coast at a fishing village, near Caen in Normandy, Captain Thomas is anxious, as; an act uf justice to the French peo- ple and as án example to his countrymen, to give publicity to the kind and humane mannerin which he was assisted in the distressed situation of his vessel and crew. After his vessel had grounded, arid 611 th»retiring of the tide, groupes of the in- habitants came down to the vessel, and rendered him the" most cti ve assistance in preserving the property, without the slightest disposition to 0 11 plunder, ami afterwards refusing all remuneration for tlieir feffective exertions. During the conti- nuance of his stay on shore, while his vessel was repairing, ho and his crew also received the-most hospitable treatment from the farmers and others in the neighbourhood; who, on his departure, gratuitously loaded his boat with vegetables, roots, and fruits, the old females kissing his hand, and wishing him a prosperous voyage. This circumstance will we trust be read, anc} atten- tively reflected Upon by oilf countrymen residing on the eioast, who not unfrequently witnesS dis- tresses from similar causes, and on whom the excellence of the above example, wo hope, will. not belort.

We regret exceedingly the insertion in our last, stating thecomittal of the son, charged with the recent murder in Denbighshire, Receiving the information as we did from so inany, respectable individuals, and all from within a few miles of the place, to doubt its correctness was impossi- ble.—We trust any provincial papers who may have copied our statement, will gee the propriety of contradicting it in their next, f The: brig Matilda, from Jamaica. bound to Li- verpool, that was stranded at Malltraeth, has been got off after discharging 34 Hogsheads of Sugar; 6 Puncheons of Rum, and about 100 Bags of Pimento. She is now in the stream in Mall- traeth river, and will proceed to Liverpool next spring tides if the wind and weather will permit her to get but. She came on shore the very highest tide"and had; she not been lightened al- most immediately, she would, in all probability, never have come from there-the vessel has not taken much damage. FIRE.—On Friday night a dreadful fire broke out in the dwelling house of Mr. Silvester, book- seller at Newport in this County, which destroyed the same, and injured that of Mr. Collier adjoining. Little of Mr. Silvester's property was saved, ex- cept his Ledger, and a few small books. The catemity isWseiibad to the heat ofastQvein the cellar, where paper was placed for drying.— Such was the sympathy of the inhabitants of Newport^ that, a subcription of nearly X.500 was almost immediately raised on behalf of this respectable liuui, whose property was not in- suredi-Shrewsbury paper.

SHREWSBURY ASSIZEs,Fridy, Richard Ovedield,was indicted for the wilful murder of Riehard his infant son, of three months old, ef- fected by administering to him oil of vitriol. The prisoner, a man apparently about 35 years of age, was employed in a carpet manufactory in which oil of yitriol is used, and it appeared that* he took a quantity, and .gave it to the child, who shortly afterwards, died.—The Jury found him Guilty. The Judge, Park, in passing sentence stated that from the depositions be- fore the Coroner, it was disclosed that the unhap- py woman; who was now the wife of his bosom, ,vas with child by him before marriage, and that he often expressed onthat account a hatred to the ,infant .gnd, bpr, dc-,claritig tbathe. would not sup- port her or her bastard." The prisoner, who had stood erect at■.thejbar, almost as unmoved as a statue during tlie trial, was taken from the bar without.manifesting any emotion.

SMAIJL" Pox.—This loathsome disease, _has made its appearance in Liverpool and ^its neigh- bourhood. Several persons advanced m years have fallen victims to its ravages, and manymOrfis are labouring under'its baneful infection, with: little hopes of recovery. At no period could we. moreaptlybrihg forward to public notice, the concluding paragraph of the last report of the Institute of France, on the important subject ^of Vaccination, than the present occasion, I The re- porti £ drawn up by Messrs. BerthoHet, Percy,, and Halle, men iioi. more ge-nerallv known than reapeeted, and who do not lightly Slve the sanc- in Jec -7- tion of their names on any subject.— The servative effec» ihft vaccine virus, when this virus has been taken in those determinate circnm- st,?mces which assure as of its purity and when thedevelopemcntofit his ,been complete, tsat least as certain a thatoj the smallpox it set J or that, which results Jrom vanuMS inmculation. More- over, considered with relation to soeiety 111 gene-, iral, vaccination has an advantage which innocu- lation cannot possess; that of putting a stop to variolus epidemics,^ circumscribmg them, causing them to disappear; and of considerably diminishing the mortality which threatens the early periodshreserving, to popitla- tion'its most advantageous proportion, lu short, the resutts obtained up to this iime, inspire vs with the probable hope of seeing the scourge of the sina.ll po 1 one of the most deplorable under which hu man nature s ujjl-rs, disappear entirely from society it a consummation devoutly to be wished." i Otaa§t week a /rightful occurrence took place at the l«anftastes Lunatic Asylum, w;hich had been nearly' 4<?strnctive to George Berry, one of the keeper^, .tt" was shaving day, and Joseph Co- lar<v an It&lian, was called into the keeper's or watcji room to be shaved. He was generally a ujorose and unsocial lunatic, but then unusuallv eheei'^ul and obliging, and came immediately.— 'Tjie keeper'had put the razor int6 a cannof waim water, standing hiinSfelf between the ta*ble on which was the cann and the lunatic. The latter instantly darted and seized the razor, struck' at "the keeper's neck, cut through the collil Of a cloth waistcoat, a thick padding of wool, aiieck- cloth and shirt collar, and the superficial muscles and external jugular vein. This was the work ,Iugu ar vein. of an instant. Fortunately chairs were in the room and with admirable presence of mind, ,Berry, who is an old soldier, seized one of them. The noise ancl frightful figure he now inade, brought the other patients, whom the maniac, now I infuriated, attempted to attack, still brandishing the razor, arid inflicting a slight wound on the side of one patient but he was speedily over- powered by showers of blows, which fell upon him from the incensed patients, who seized all the chairs, and did not leave him till the razor was struck Out of his hand. Indeed had not other keepers been brought by the preconcerted signal, ian it is highly probable the Italian would have for- feited his life. This at once shows the affection the patients generally bear for their keeper, as L' well as their abhorrence of the atrocious act.— The keeper and luriatic are' both doing well.—; jy&iclwnMail.
