Down Election
We the undersigned Freeholders on the Estate of Nicholas PRICE Esq. of
Saintfield, do hereby declare, that the paragraph in The Northern Whig
of the 16th inst. relating to our conduct and the manner in which we
were treated by our landlord at the late election for the County of
Down, is a false representation. We do positively state that we never
were ordered by him, or any person for him, to give our votes for Lord
Castlereagh, but upon inquiring what way he, Mr. PRICE, would vote and
being informed for Lord Castlereagh; we, with one accord, resolved,
that we would not separate from him, or break up the mutual good
feeling that had so long subsisted between us and our excellent and
esteemed landlord; confidently believing, that he would not support a
man whom he did not think would give every aid and assistance to the
measures calculated to secure peace and happiness at home, as well as
the general good of the empire.

Loss of the Ship 'Lady Sherbroke'
The news of the calamitous wreck of the Lady Sherbroke has occasioned
indiscribable distress here, upwards of fifty of the passengers being
from the town and neighbourhood of Enniskillen. There were thirty two
from a townland called the Ring, of whom only four have escaped the
melancholy fate of their companions. Of the family of John KERR,
consisting, we fear, of fourteen in number, including his wife, he and
a son and a daughter only have been saved. The lamentations in that
quarter, on and since the arrival of the melancholy tidings have been
truly affecting.

2 Nov. 1831 The Ship 'Lady Sherbroke'
 We have seen a letter from one of the surviving sufferers to his
parents who reside in the neighborhood of St. Johns town, which is as
follows.
Halifax. Aug. 29, 1831
Dear Father and Mother
I take up pen to inform you of my sad misfortune since the time of my
departure. I commence letting you know that we were on the water six
weeks and three days from the time of my departure, during which we
were very happy ..but alas I at the end of that time, we were wrecked
off Mouse Island, Cape Ray where every soul was lost except 32
passengers including five of the crew. I was twelve hours on the wreck
after being cast away, which was at twelve o'clock at night. I went
down three times but by the assistance of God I got on the main-mast
which lay in the water, where I remained during that time, until the
will of providence sent a boat which took me and Thomas (a name here
illegible) the only one left that you know out of the whole sufferers.
We were then taken from where the fishermen live to Halifax, where we
arrived in three weeks and three days, during which time the captain,
who took us from that place in a schooner (his name is MUNRO) used us
with all the kindness that a man could do. I was only three days to
Halirax when I fell into the employment of Mr OSTERMAN, living about
two and a half miles out of (?) own, for 24£ per year. During the time
that I have been with him I have every reason to say that I think he
will be a good friend to me. I lost all my clothes and what money I
had with me. I met with Mr J MEEHAN, from Three-mile-town, who used me
very kindly, and gave me clothes to last me until May, along with
money. I am sorry to say that Mr YOUNG and the his family were lost.
Mr. YOUNG saw all the family go to their watery grave and I was
shaking hands with him bidding him a last farewell, when he went down
to rise no more. After his going down, I went down, but escaped the
awful fate as I have mentioned before, David CLARKE’s daughter from
Killagh was lost.
