At a late hour yesterday evening, we received 
notice of a most distressing and melancholy acci- 
dent which occurred on Loch Lomond that after- 
noon, whereby thirteen lives were lost. The Lady 
of the Lake, steam-boat, was on her return from 
her usual voyage to the head of the loch, and had 
lainto opposite Tarbet, to receive on board those 
passengers who had landed there, or such other 
visitors as were waiting for her at that place. 
The small boat, which belongs to the inn, imme- 
diately put off. The boat was crowded ; there were 
from 20 to 25 crammed into the small coble. The 
lake was smooth, and shining as a mirror, and 
the steam-boat was not much more than thirty 
yards from the shore. A person, who was stand- 
ing onthe beach, described to us that the boat 
wabbled on, from one side to another, till it came 
close to the steamer ; it then made a ‘‘creen” to- 
wards the steamer, so alarming, that most of the 
passengers rose up and clustered to the other 
side, when the boat completely heeled over, and 
floated keel uppermost. It was a moment of in- 
tense agony. Few shrieks were heard — one 
or two piercing ones could be distinguished — 
and thirteen unfortunates were stifled with the 
waters instantly! Where the accident took place 
there was about five fathoms of water. Every 
exertion was made by those on board the steamer, 
and by those on shore to render assistance.—

_ The Lord Lieutenant has recently visited his 
estates at Carlingford, when his tenantry met 
him by appointment in the lawn, and he thus ad- 
dressed them:—* My friends, I have long pro- 
mised myself the pleasure of coming amongst 
you; various causes deprived me for a time of 
that pleasure, [fl health, for which I am sure 
you were all sorry, first detained me ; again, when 
on the eve of coming, I was called to assist in the 
councils of our Most Gracious Sovereign—the call 
‘came from a quarter too high to admit a moment’s 
hesitation. At length an opportunity offered me, 
which brought me, not to visit, but reside amongst 
Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.

you. Iwas always an admirer of the Irish cha- 
racter, and I most unaffectually declare, that in no 
part, either of England, Scotland, or Wales, have 
I found a tenantry more upright, more just, or 
more punnctua), than inthis part of Ireland. I 
am aware that I am addressing a mixed assem- 
biage of Protestants and Catholics; but I came 
not here in the capacity of either, but as a friend. 
I care not at what altar a man worships, or under 
what form he sends forth his prayer to his Cre- 
tor, but the honest man is the man I respect—he, 
and he alone. shall find a place in my confidence. 
I have never asked, nor I never will ask, any man 
to change his religion. In my relation to this 
country, Iam called on to deeide between parties, 
and I shall always endeavour to° support -that 
principle which I first professed, and which I made 
a condition of, when I-aceepted the government of 
this country—to know no man by his religion—to 
be guided in my decision only by the justiee of 
the cause. If every man in his situation in Tre- 
land would act on the same principle, prosperity 
would soon be restored to this country, proof 
would be given that the surplus capital of the 
sister kingdom could be safely transferred to this, 
and your shores, which now present a scene of 
beauty unequalled, would then show. an increase 
of wealth unexampled.—Freeman’s Journal. 
Perhaps on no other assizes in the recollection 
of any person living have there been so few eases 
for trial on the Irish Circuits as this year. This 
has been attributed by some to the influence of 
the Liberator and the Catholic priesthood ; but 
we have no doubt that tle real cause of the 
change is the improyed condition of the working 
classes; and the increase of the Irish revenue for 
same time past puts this almost beyond a doubt. 
It appears from the Report of the proceedings of 
the annual meeting of the friends ofthe “Irish 
Sunday School Society,” that there are 173,613 
scholars attending these schools,and that 28,853 of 
them are above 15 years of age; in the last 18 
years there had been an increase of 2,000 schools, 
and even since January (this year) 183 new schools 
had been formed. It appears that “education 
was given at a cost of no more than fourpence a 
year for each child.’ Last year there wasa 
goodly army of nearly 16,000 teachers ranged un- 
der the banners of the Society, and although 
fully the one-half of these were women, “ yet,” 
said the Rey. R. Daly, “he was sure this army 
would do more to tranquillize and civilize Ireland, 
than twicethat number of the stoutest soldiers 
ever led by the Duke of Wellington.” The Earl 
of Roden, in acknowledging a vote of thanks, 
said, “I consider it the greatest honour of my 
life to be the president of this Society. My sove- 
reign has been pleased to bestow many honours 
upon me, for which he has my humble gratitude ; 
but Iwonld tell him as I tel! you, that I consider 
the honour of my nomination to my present oftice, 
as far superior to them all!!!”
