The sloop John and Agnes, bound from Newcastle to Leith, was lost upon Tyne Sands, on Saturday, the flth inst. The following are the affecting parti eulars s—The master, finding that the Vessel was likely to run upon the rocks, tried to run her ashore; but she struck upon a bank, too far distant from land to allow the crew to escape. Two young men be longing to Leith, sons of Mr. ALEXANDER BELL, were on abard—one of them coming home to take charge of a new brigs both of them had been in the New castle trade ; and their sister, a fine girl, about 22 years of age. had taken a voyage to see them at Newcastle, and came down along with them in the John and Agnes► When the vessel struck, DAVID BELL leapt overboard, swam ashore, and ran to Dun bar, a distance of four miles. After an absence 'of about four hours, he returned with the life-boat ; but found, to his inexpressible grief, that his brotheer and sister, whom be had left in the vessel, had ' been washed overboard, locked in each other's arms. Two of the ere* had shared the same fate; and it is said that two more were frozen to death on the shrouds.— One Gentleman, a passenger, leapt overboard, ands had made the length of the beach at the Very time that BELL came back from Dunbar, but was so much ex hausted that BaLL bad to drag him oft of the Water ; however, ha is now doing well. the - IMPORTANT CASL . iri THti gt , imitLint AED isouterreiito.

The ii.quiry occupied the Magistrates during the whole of Saturday and Monday. The powder, when seized by the constahles employed under the information, was placed by them in a hop kiln, belonging to 4 gentleman named Ryde, in the neighbourhood, where it remained I rom the time the seizure was made, under the care of a trusty guard, to wait the deci• sion of the Magistrates _ Mr. Cowise and Mt. I/SERINO! now appeared as Counsel insupport of the information, and Mr. NOLAN for the defendants; the information was founded on the Act of the 14th of the King, entitled, a an Act for regulating the making, keeping, and -carrying of glinpowder, by the makers there'll ;" the 7th section of which, providei that no gre,ter quantity of gun powder in a finished state, or in a state of proce;s, shall be kept in any gunpowder mill, or places be longing or adjoining thereto, at any one time, than is necessary for carrying on the said works; and that any excess above such necessary quantity, shall he liable to seizure and forfeiture, and the proprietor of such milk be further liable to a penalty of 21. per pound, upon every pound of powder so forfeited and charged the defend tntk with having the above meintioned quantity of powder. nanicly 16,5761b5. in their works, contrary to the regulations of the Act, unlawfully, ..nd to the iniminent danger, hazard, a.nd peril of the neighbourhood. The defendants plea,:ed not guilty. Mr. Cowzav addressed the Beach in sup . pott of the information. James Parsnns was examined by Mr. Bxentmo.:.- Witness stated, that he was called on by the consta. ble of Chi!worth to aid in seizing the powder in quts bon. The witness then proceeded to describe the ;daces in which they sound the powder: 571311 b. ifi , y f. and in a building called the dusting-house, situate Within less than one hundred yards of Mr. Rowland end Cu',. paper m. 11; this quantity was all fi•ifshed powder. In a small building called the uprer charge house, was found 24.001 b in the lower charge house 19001 b. also finished powder; in the hand corning house 40001 b. in the tower corning house, 116311 b. ; in the mealing house 1511„T lb- ; in I th e tub house, distant only fourteen yards two feet from the stove, 79Vb.; and in the upper tub house 7121 b. These quantities were seized, and; with the exception of 161.0ib. which were left in the dusting house, w.is taken away. All the powder in the stove amountingi as witness was told, to 351i01b. Was also left, as well as several tubs of compisition in the mealing house, and some in the glaz;ng barrels.—ln his truss examination by Mr. NOLAN, wisness stated lie could nut say what quantity of powder was left behind, as lie did not weigh it. Holmes, the constable of Chilworth, corroborated the statement of the last witness, and produced sam ples taken from - the different quantities of powder seized. Mr. W. rharon. Clock to his Majesty's Works at Waltham Abbey, was then called, and examined 'the different sample's produced by 11.ilmes, and proved they were all powder—a great part in a finished state, and the remainder in a state still more infl (tamable and dangerous than when finished. Mr. Drayson then entered at length into a detail of the IseoCess of making powder, and described the different buildings from which the poieder seized was taken, and their uses ; particularly the dusting hotise, situated so near Mr. Rowland's mill, and in which the 571311). was found. Is tbii building Major By, in his award, allowed 40001 b. to be kept. Mr. Drayson sow stated, that the largest quantity ever required there at a time was 1200Ib. and even that quantity, in case of explo sion, would prove dangerous to the buildings ne.sr the spot. In the upper tub house, he did not consider any powder ought to be kept. In the upper charge house no finished powder should be kept. He WAS of the same opinion as to the mewling house. The wit. ness then proceeded to state the quantities which he consideied as necessary to be deposited in each parti. cular building, for the purpose of carrying on the works ; and tuither stated, that liqjshed powder should be deposited in magazine}— buildings con structeil of brick and stone, and situated . 50 yards at least from the mills and houses where thete was machinery. None of the buildings where this powder was found were magazines; &any of them had ma chinery in them ; some nearly joined the powdet , mills t and one of them was within a few yards of the stove. • He had been over the works at Chilworth, but saw no magazine. To the best of his judgment,' supposing all the machinery to be in lull work, the mills would make 106 barrels, or 10,6001b5. of powder a week. T. Edwards proved having been present when part of the powder was seized, and the buildings •from which it was taken. He droVe one of the teams, and assisted in taking the powder seized to Mr. Ryde's h , p kiln : the quantity taken by him amounted to 57001b5. the whole quantity was carried to the hop kilns in one day. The examination of this witness concluded the business of the first day.—. The Court Met again on Monday morning at ten o'clock precisely, when Marsh, a carter, proved hiving carried thteb waggon loads of powder, consisting of 7;0001bs. all, to the hop•kiln.

The hand corning house, from Which foot thousand pounds of powder was taken, was nears under the same roof with one of the milk. Mr. G. Barnes had been seven years Overseer of his Majesty's Works it Waltham Abbey, and 37 years acquainted with the. manufacturing of powder. Mt. Barnes entered into a minute description of the pro► cest carried oo in each building ; the use to which each building *as assigned ; and the quantity Of composition and powder necessary to be employed in the procets carried on in each.

Mr. NOLAN then proceeded to argue on the facts of the cane, and Contended,. that this was not a prosecution bi't;nght forward for the purposes of public justice, but IFising out of private disagreement betty/ern i Gentlern In and his discon tented tenants. He then proceeded to contend, that; even allowing there was an racess; there was not art excess to the extent of the quantity . taketi away; and, therefore, part of the powder seized Must, at all events, be returned . The progenitors had not proved any thing left behind, except the l600Ibi: left in the dust ing•house ; and bath Mr. Drayson and Mr. Barnes had stated, that. 16001bs. were necessary tor the daily process; so much, Mer4fore, ought t^ have hcen left t*hind.
