News has been received at Lloyd's, from Nautes, of the 27th of March, of the wreck of a large vessel, it is supposed of 3000 tons. A new boat and several bales of cotton were being washed ashore in Douarnenez Bay. Nothing had come ashore to show the nationality of the vessel, except a small piece of brass with " Glasgow " engraved on it. All hands were supposed to be lost. Lord Eldon, who was well known by the nickname of " Old Bags," in one of his shooting excursions unexpectedly came across a person who was sporting over his land without leave. His lordship enquired if the stranger was aware he was tresrassing, or if he knew to whom the estate belonged. "What's that to you ? " was the reply. "I suppose you are one of Old Bag's keepers." "No," replied his lordahip, " I am Old Bags himself.
