ADDRESS To the Rev. FRANCIS CRAWFORD, by the Teachers and Children of the Portadown Sunday Schools, on the occasion of his removal from the Incumbency of Portadown to the Rectory of Derryloran, Cookstown [Co Fermanagh]. REV. AND DEAR SIR, WE, THE TEACHERS AND CHILDREN OF the Portadown Sunday Schools, desire to address you on this occasion. We beg to congratulate you on your promotion and appointment to another sphere of usefulness. That your zealous and faithful ministry has been so rewarded, would fill us with unmingled joy, were it not that our long and happy intercourse must thereby terminate. Your active superintendence of these Schools, your affectionate demeanour, and your spiritual counsel, have attached to you alike the hearts of Teachers and Children, and left, we trust, impressions of enduring influence. We hope that the accompanying token of our affection will sometimes remind you of the cherished period of our intercourse, and of many young but sincere friends. Be assured, dear Sir, that you are accompanied to your new home by our prayers and desires for the happiness and welfare of yourself, your kind partner, and youthful family. Cheered by the hope that, however earthly ties are severed, we will hereafter be united within one eternal fold by the Great Shepherd whose sheep and lambs you rejoiced to feed, We remain, with much respect, Your attached Friends, (Signed on behalf of the Teachers and Children,) ELIZABETH CARLETON, RACHEL REID, W. N. ATKINSON, WILLIAM REDMOND. Portadown, June 30, 1859. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REPLY MY DEAR YOUNG FRIENDS, Your affectionate Address and very beautiful Gift demand my warmest acknowledgments and most grateful thanks. I should be indeed insensible if I did not feel deeply affected by this touching testimony of respect from those youthful members of my flock amongst whom it has been so long my happiness to minister, and with whom I have enjoyed so many hours of pleasing and, I would fain believe, profitable intercourse, as each returning Sabbath permitted us, in meditation on the word of life, to take sweet counsel together, and walk in the house of God as friends. Very gratifying indeed, though far too favourable, is your kind appreciation of my services as Superintendent of our Sunday-school. Too frequently defective, I am aware, those services have been ; and yet I can with truth affirm that no part of my ministerial duty has been to me more entirely a labour of love. It was not, however, until the endearing relation which has so long subsisted between us was about to cease, that I felt its full extent what a hold the youthful objects of my care had gained in my affection, or how painful it is to bid them finally farewell. To the several teachers whose encouraging approval has so often strengthened my hands, and without whose zealous co-operation my best endeavours would have been all in vain, I feel particularly indebted for their kindness on this occasion. Earnestly do I hope and pray that they may not soon be weary in well doing, and that their self-denying labours may of God be abundantly blessed. For your prayers for the happiness of ourselves and our children, Mrs. Crawford unites with me in returning our most sincere thanks. We shall always cherish a grateful recollection of your affectionate regard ; and as we look upon your parting gift, which reminds us how fleeting is the passing hour, I trust we may be led, whilst we think of absent friends, to join in the hope so beautifully expressed by you that, when time shall be no more, we may be again united where there shall be one fold and one Shepherd. Believe me to be, My dear young friends, Yours sincerely attached, V. CRAWFORD. Portadown, June 30, 1859. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ APPRENTICE WANTED AN OUT-DOOR & IN-DOOR APPRENTICE WANTED TO THE PRINTING BUSINESS. Must be educated and respectable. Will be liberally dealth with. JOHN H.

Synnot, Esq., Lurganah, County Armagh, of a son. On the 23rd inst., the wife of Maxwell C.

Nothing unusual occurred until about 11:45 p.m., when a strong smell of smoke was perceived in the cabin. Search was immediately made to discover the cause of it ; took off the after hatch leading to the store-room, just aft of the cabin, and found large quantities of smoke issuing therefrom. Called all hands immediately, and searched the entire store-room, but found no fire there. The smoke gradually increasing in density, bored an auger hole through the store-room deck into the between decks; found the fire to be burning furiously below in the after part of the ship, and rapidly increasing, plugged up the auger hole, and used every endeavour to smother the fire but without avail, for about 2 a.m., the fire broke through into the after cabin, and the whole after part of the ship was in a complete blaze below. Found our endeavours to arrest the progress of the flames were unavailing, and the dim smoke, heat, and fire gaining so rapidly, that it became almost unbearable. The ship was then kep close to the wind on the port tack, under easy sail, and preparations were then made to abandon her, if it should become necessary to do, and the officers and crew were detailed to various duties; some in getting the boats in readiness with water and provisions in the same ; others in removing the specie from the cabin to the forward part of the ship for safety, but were quickly driven out by the flames and smoke completely filling the after cabin, and a portion of the specie was left to the mercy of the elements. Shortly after daylight the fog lifted up, and a sail was discovered b earing E.S.E., about three miles distant, standing to the eastward. The ship was immediately kept away for her, and the colours set union down, and signals of distress set at the fore and mizzen. In a half an hour a thick fog set in, the Stalwart still keeping her course after the stranger. About four oclock, a.m., the flames burnt through the upper deck aft, and drove the man from the wheel. The topsails were then clewed down, and the main and mizzen topsails hove aback to keep the ships head to the wind, and prevent the flames spreading forward. The boats, with a barrel of water, a barrel of bread, a companys chart and quadrant in each, were then lowered down, and handed forward as far as possible. About 7, a.m., the entire ship aft of the main rigging was in a blaze, the flames reaching to the mizzen top-mast head. About 8 a.m., the mizzen mast fell on over the stern with a heavy crash, bearing W.N.W., about five miles offl, and steering directly. About 9, a.m., the fog lifting up a little, discovered a sail for us ; soon after she took in her light sails, and set her colours. The fire was then gaining rapidly forward. The three female passengers, with an officer and part of the crew, were then placed in one of the boats. Soon after the sail, which proved to be the British barque Princess Helena, of Whitehaven, Capt. Connell, from Demerara for cork, hove to, and lowered a boat ; in this boat the females were then sent on board the barque. The portion of specie saved from the cabin was then placed in a boat, and sent on board ; also a part of the crew was sent on board in another boat. About 9:30, a.m., the flames, reaching to the main top-mast head, and the mast casting forward, cut away the main and maintopmast stays, to prevent the mast from falling forward. At this time the ship was burnt to the waters edge as far as midships, and settling fast by the stern, it was then deemed advisable to abandon the sinking and burning remains of what but a few hours previously was a staunch and well appointed ship. The few then remaining on board were ordered into the boat, which left the ship immediately, but had hardly shoved off when the mainmast fell with a fearful crash over the port side side [sic] past of the rigging, falling directly across the boat, fortunately without any serious injury to any one. The flames now reached to the fore top-mast head, completely enveloping the ship. The boat proceeded to the barque, where all were kindly received by Captain Connell, his officers, and crew. The barque was then kept away to Eastward, and shortly after noon not a vestige of the Stalwart was to be seen above water. So rapid was the progress of the fire that nearly all the personal effects of those on board were lost. The cause of the fire was unknown. The ship was out from the Bar of Mississippi 28 days, and there was no communication with that part of the ship where the fire was discovered. The cargo below consisted entirely of cotton, there was also a large quantity of specie stowed in the after cabin. Every thing throughout was conducted with coolness and discipline. M. H. LUCAS, (late Master of the ship Stalwart.)

COURAGEOUS CONDUCT A lad, named Cloughly, fell into the canal lock at Poyntzpass yesterday. Both gates being closed, there was a depth of about ten feet of water, and the boy, after a few struggles, sank. Sub-constable O'Hagan, of the Poyntzpass Constabulary, hearing the cries, ran to the lock and jumped in, sustaining some severe injuries, but got a hold of the boy and kept him up until the gates were opened and a boat brought to his assistance. Both were very much exhausted on being taken out. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. O'Hagan for his courageous conduct, as were it not for his intrepidity the boy would have been drowned. We hope his conduct will meet its due reward from the proper quarter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE-OPENING OF THE DERRYLEE WESLEYAN CHAPEL This chapel is to be re-opened tomorrow for Divine worship. The services are to be held by the Rev. G. McMillen, of Dublin, in the morning; and by Mr. J.

On Saturday evenings they will be held in the Town Hall at the same hour for the convenience of parties attending the market. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UNFAIR PLAY A report has reached us about distempered cattle, and unfair play, but until something further transpires, it would not be wise to notice it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEW SUMMER FASHIONS WILLIAM PAUL AND SON BEG TO SOLICIT AN EARLY INSPECTION OF THEIR NEW STOCK OF SUMMER GOODS which have been carefully selected in London and the Manufacturing Districts during the past fortnight.
