LORD COCHRANE. Lord Cochrane has trAncm:tted the following letter o the Editor of the Lireirgol .Ikrchry: NOVSKIIIR 1, 1825. Sin-1 have just observed in your Piper of Friday last an article, wherein you call upon me for a reply to certain queries, which you say that you " trust. - like other similft retorts, will turn out to be a weak in vervion of the enemy:* _ _ The answers are brief. I have no debts ; come quently, I have not been " sued," and am not " about to plead the Statute of Limitwions." The debts of the Brazilian Government are not ray' debts; and my " laconic and discouraging" answer to i ll a claimant of his does , from that Government, really contained a'l that I could say in reply to his letter. For his reasons for quitting that service, I refer you to Mr. Keallett himself, though I have no tecollection of any person of that name serving under me: and further, I refer to all the Officers and sevuen, who have at any time been under my command, whether I have not, on every occasion, exerted myself to the utmost of my power, to obtain for them their dues? Although it would always afford me pleasure to ex plain my conduct to individuals whose good opinion I value, you must, I am persuaded, be aware how un pleasant iris to be brought before the Public by insi nuations so false as those contained. in the paragraph which you have quoted from some low Paper, whose E.fitor is probably desirous of bringing himself into notoriety, by a proceeding at 14w for his infamous aspersions. My respect -for you has induced me, in the present instance, to depart from a rule which I had laid down for my general conduct, not to notice anonymous para graphs—such, for instance, as that which describes me as presenting to Sir Walter Scott the dagger of Monte zdma, which I never heard of; and Lady Cochrane, as slaying a robber, whom she never met in any part, of het travels. You may depend upon it, Sir, that whenever I am attacked in a serious manner, I shall be prepared with such a statement of facts as will satisfy the public mind as to tic rectitude of my conduct.—l am, Etc. Egerton Smith, Esq. Liverpool. COCHRANE. LOSS OF THE COMET. . It was reported in Edinburgh on Monday last, that the Comet has been raised, and thirteen bodies found on board. • John M'Lellan,• one of the under-stewards of the • Comet, whit) was saved, is now sufficiently recovered to detail all he knew of the unfortunate catasuophe. The following is his statement, and nearly in his own words.:—Whea the concussion of the vessels took place, •he was descending the steps which lead to the cabin. He hastened down, and seeing John Heron (another of the steasat ds, whose body has been found), resting on 'his right arm, apparently asleep, he cried to him, .• " J o h nny,.haste ye, the boat will sink r Heron rose .upon his legs, and rubbing his eyes, replied to him in a manner as• though he deemed his messmate was joking ;•but he had scarcely uttered half a dozen words, • when the water; to use his own expression, " came rush ing in like a burn.", All that were below now rushed towards the stair leading to. the deck in the greatest contusion, many of them screaming in a most pitiable Planner. As soon as M'Lellan reached the deck, Cap tain SUtherland, who was earnestly speaking to his Lady, having hold of her hand, turned round to him, and asked—" Steward, will you be able to make for shore?" He 'made, no answer, not knowing what to think of the matter.. In the course of a few seconds, he heard one of the crew, M'Lachlan be thinks, express his fears that they would be lost ; upon which he pulled off hii shoe-, buttoned up his fustian jacket, and as cended one of the ropes affixed to the funnel. When he was a little way up, Captain Sutherland made another appeal to him, but he was out of breath with climbing, and could m.ke no answer. Ile was too much af frighted at this time to notice what was going for ward on board the Ayr, but saw their own crew and passengers all clustering together, and called to the crew of the other vessel to save them by the most earnest appeals. On Loking rout,d, he observed the vessel sinking at the how end. • The screams that were uttered were dreadful in e'e extreme. Mrs. Sutherland exclaimed, "Oh, my Goo! my Goo! she's sinking—we're lost!" and clasping her " 'husband round the neck sunk with him into the abyss of waters. livery one on deck was clinging either to the pet son next to them, or past of the vessel. The piercing cries and. groans that a ete uttered at this moment, baffle all description; sleeping or waking, he says, they are uppermost in his mnd. He would choose to amuse himself in any way rather than fall asleep, so strongly do the horrors of this catastrophe work upon his imagi nation. He climbed to the top of the rope, where the heat was so intense that he could scarcely hold on; he held fast, however, and when the b')at sunk, he went down with her. When rising towards the surface of the water he hit against something which he supposes to be a human body, which again sent him down. Herrnm,- diately rose to the surface a second time, and fnuad himself surrounded by the passengers and crew,clinging some to each other, and some to pots of the luggage that floated. After swimming for a few minutes, he observed a person making towards him, but think;ng he Might cling to him, and being touch fatigued, he JD all in his power to evade him. lie deems this person to be the Captain of the Carnet, who was saved. He s AM at random for some time, but recovering some u kat from his fright, recollected the wind blew to shore, and be took that course. When he came to the shore, or was near it, he was caught hold of by the persons there waiting. He was almost stopitied, and. cann..t describe the emotious he felt when he heard human voices around him. The dancing, he says, had finished some time ete the acci dent occurred—shortly after the moon went down. lie has no doubt in his own mind- that, by the slightest mansettere, the Ayr might have cone alongside the Comet, and saved all that were on the deck. He is cer-. tain that a Homan named M'Nab, wi.o was lately a' conk to a family at Boss was-below in the steerage at the time the vessel went down. The Russian brig - Wolga left New Archangel, in the island of Sitka, on t` .e 16th May, this year, and Arrived on the 18th of June, at Ochotyk, v ith a cargo of furs. The Russian colonies on the North West Co-Ist are pro vided with all necessaries, and were on good terms with the neighbouring tribes. A grand entertainment was given at Bogota, on the 12th August, by COlCltlel HAMILTON, Charge d'Af faires at Bogota, in honour of the KING'S Birth•day.— The ball was attended by every person of dist4nction hi Colombia. _. _ '~,~® INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. • • William Stoney, describing himself as a Commission Agent, not a." Commission Broker," was questioned by Mr. BARRY, who opposrei the discharge of the Insolvent inr a Mr. Richard Feet,: ett, iimen-araper, residing in. Cheapside, for obtaining goods under false representa tions.—From the examination of the Insolvent by the Learned Counsel, it appe 'red that in May last he went to the house of the opposing creditor, and gave him l e order for some carpeting, &c. which he afterwards sold. I 1 On purchasing the goods he tendered a bill of exchange I drawn by himself on and accepted by a person of the name of Thomas Mattison, victualler, Fleet-mcket (in the Rules of the Flee ), • The bill was for 391. At the time he presented the bill (which he had left ie the, possession of Mr. Fawcett previous to his finally taking it in payment for the goods), he represented hinvielt as having taken the bill of a person for whom Mr. H it.' risen had built some houses at Paddington, ss hich houses the Insolvent, he was understood to sty, told the opposing creditor be had eapered. The bill, was, not w ith vending, di.honou: ed, although w hen the opposing creditor had applied to 11. e acceptor, he said th it it was all right, and would be iegulatly paid when due. It watt however, " more honoured in the breach than the observance," for instead of Mr. Harrison'. paying the bill, he said, "if he (Mr. Fawcett) woul .1 receipt it he would not give him a glass of gin for it." He fur ther represented himself as havirg cons derable bill business to do for Lord T. for which he was to receive 2.5 per cent. for all he got discounted, but that he had never said to the tune of 20,0tTli. On being questioned as to his dealings with Lord T. he said that it was certainly true that he had been employed to raise money by his Lordship, and which he could prove it required. The COUIT having dispensed with the Insolvent's suggestion, Mr. HEATH, for the Insolvent, contended that there was no proof of fraud, and instanced the Insolvent's leavingt.the bill in the hands of the opposing creditor for a week, which he said afforded him an opportunity of making any inquiry he might have thought proper to make beyond what he had already done, and that it was anything but a fraudulent midsection.' The Comm lamented the hardship of the ease, but said the grounds were not suthciently within the meaning of the Act of Parliament to warrant the Court in remanding the prisoner. Ile was therefore entitled to the benefit of the Act. Mr. Baser remarked, that the Inselvent's debts were between 3 and 400/. and all on bills of exchange and promissot y notes. Its reply to which the Insolvent said that he owed no simple debts. Nicholas de Santiago y Rolalde, a Colonel on the Staff of the Spa nish Army, and Thomas Blanchard, an unseat the Minor Theatres, after some trifling and ineff:ctuai opposidoe, were discharged. OLD BAILtY SESSIUNb,. NOVMDER 1. CHARGE OF MURDER. Mary Sheiks stood capitally indicted for the wilful murder of Patrick Doyle, in the parish of &. Gilas-in-the-Ftelds.—There were no Counsel on either side. Mary Kilgrogran—l live in Buckridge•street, Giles's, and am aunt to the deceased, Patrick Doyle; he lived in Church-lane. Friday, the 30th of September, I was at the Black Horse public-house, in Buckridge street ; the deceased was there; I had been there about half an hour before the prisoner came in ; she did not appear drunk ; the deceased atsd prisoner had lived to gether as man and wife for nearly twelve years, and had seven children ; she saw them but seldom, but they were very sociable. In two minutes after she entered she went to the bar, and brought a tin beer-can under her cloak ; the deceased and a man named - Frank Smith were speaking together; the deceased was drunk ; he turned his head about to where the prisoner stood, when she struck him with the can over the left temple and ran away. Deceased bled very much, and he remained about two bouts in the tap-room, bleeding ; he then went away with Frank Smith. On Saturday morning I met the prisoner coming out of the house where she lived ; she bade me the time of the morning, and said if I did not tell my sister's son to keep clear of her she would by the Holy Ghint be his h —y butcher, and tie end of him. On the •Sunday I went to deceased's; the prisoner was in the room ; I asked him how he was ? he said very ill, and asked me what was good for the head-ache? and I said cold water; the prisoner at that time was attentive to him; he lived until the Tuesday week following, when he died at the Hospital. Lawrence Doyle, the brother of the deceased, deposed that on the Monday he was at home - with his brother in the evening, the prisoner was sitting by the side of the bed; witness had a separate bed in the same room. His brother wanted to go to bed, but prisoner would not let hire; she said he should not come there; deceased.' then laid down on the boards, his head was not tied up. The prisoner got up and said he should not stay with her ; she was going Gut of the room, %%hen deceased ' said she should not go out at that hour of; the night. He gave her a push with 'one hand, and pushed her on the bed; it was a pretty violent push. I did not-observe which way she fell ; I cannot exactly say ; she was very big with child ; my brother had then got up on a chair, and was leaning his bead on his hand on the table. Pri soner got up and went to the ch'inney-piece, and laid hold of a hammer that was Iyin4 there; my brother was a tinmati; stuck him on the head with the h:,mmer five times; one was a very heavy blow. I could out see which tnJ of tie hamnier. 1 got up; my brother kt;ocked fire d rwn three times. lle was in a violent rage, and the prisoner appeared to be so also. My brother called out, fi Oa ! brother, I am undone." isuner then pot outside the door. There was a pretty good share of blood; I remained there all night ; the prisoner did not come back ; I wiped his head with his shirt; one blow knocked him down ; I saw the prisoner two days after, and told her her husband's head was cut. I said Paddy's head is badly cut, and she began to laugh. This witness underwent a tross.examination, for the purpose of 'hewing that the deceased had frequently beaten the prisoner, and even broken her ribs; but the witness declared that before the even ing in question he had never seen his brother strike her. Ily a Juryman—How did they live together? Did they live peaceably While - As—Sometimes they lived in peace, and sometimes they quarrelled. Mr. Burgess, a surgeon rf St. Glt t's workhouse, de posed, that the deceased had been brou4ht there on the 24. th of October, and that he was shortly afterwards sent to the Middlesex Hospital. He had an inflamma tion on the brain—five blows given with such a ham mer, wi h a.ry violence, is sufficient to cause inflamma tion on the brain. By the Prisoner—She certainly came to see him at the workhouse in a state of great anxiety. I did net know that she had then been delivered only three days. • The prisoner wished the witness to be asked if she did not ask him whether the blow which she had given him with the hammer, had killed him, when he re plied, a Oh, no." Mr. Justice PARK—Out of mercy to the prisoner, I would sot, for all the world, put that question. Mr. 'fewson, a surgeon of Middlesex Hospital, mi nutely described the state of the head of the deceased. His skull was trepanne, 3 , b"t it w as of r n avail tilt ' state of the head was r e con , eqnence of exernal vio lent'btows. The hammer s'esvn to I int svoill.; hive produced such effect. if used with violence. Ile observed no old cut on the head ; he did Ilfri 0 1 .itet ve, a cut near the ear. • a The prisoner, in I , er defence , stated that they ha d dog which was made away wit'i by the 4stother of the, deceased, which caused a goitre], aad the dece ised said he had but one life, and he would lose it cn account of !iis dog being gone. There also aPpeared a jealous feel; log between them, and according to her statement they had quarrelled on the Monday, and the deceased had Licked her violently; and that he tame home late at night when she •was tin:tres‘ed, and tow., hold'oCher and threw it down; that he had broken three of her ribs, and•laid hold of the back of her neck with his teeth and bit her; that he was continually beating her about with a tile. , She de nied that she 1 ad struck him with the hatnnier ; it was a fie that she merely threatened him ti ith. Mr. Justice PARK charged the Jury that it was evident that the deer ased and prisoner had lived on bad tetras with each other. They a. wild chrect their atten tion to what took phece on the Monday might; they would satisfy themselves whether the blows were given by the prisoner, and if so, the questi..n !Mold th. n be whether the offence was murder or :manslaughter? After commenting on the whole of the evidence, and the statement of the ptisoner, the Learned Judge gave it as his opinion, that the crime amounted to man slaughter, but not murder. The Jury consulted together for a few minutes and returned a terelict of Manslaughter. The Recommits immediately sentenced her to twelve months' tin ptisonment in the House of Correction, and hard labour. The prisouer was in a very weak state, and was deeply affected, during the trial, she sat down, and was attended by a female. She is twenty-nine years of age. Wm./IN/don, aged '22. a baker, was indi:ted for steal ing an order for the payment of 1351. 13i. 6d. from the dwelling•house of the prosecutor, Robert Gobby, of 'Leicester -street, Regent•street. The prisoner, in the capacity of.a baker, called at the prosecutor's door, and it was alleged that Mrs. Gobby dropped the order in question, which he picked up and obtained the money for. It was not proved that the prisoner received the money himself ; it was received by another person, who was seen in company with the prisoner. A number of witnesses gave the prisoner a good character for honesty, s:sbriety, and industry. Mr. Baron GetitltoW charged the .JUry,.that it was necessity thaothey should notice the terms of the order, " Pay to Mr. Gobby or bearei." if the prisoner had intended to act honestly be would have gone to Mr. Gobby. It was possible that the order might have fallen into the street, which would acquit him of the capital part of the chittge. 'Verdict—" Guilty of stealing, but not in the dwelling-house." James Adams, aged 36, was indicted for stealing a .gelding, the property of John Neighbour, at Beacons field, on the night of the 3d of September. The Jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his former good character. Richard 0 alloys Jasper, who was convicted of for. gery on Saturday la,t, was indicted for uttering, ' on the Ist of August, two' firrged acceptances, well knowing them to be forged; with intent to defraud William Fox and partners. ' The pri,oner, vibe last night pleaded " Not Guilty," withdrew that plea, and now pleaded " Guilty." Mr. L aw said he was instructed by the prosecutors to recom mend the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the Court ; and the Jury returned a verdict of Geri/ty, but recommended the pri soner to mercy. John Lyons, aged 23, a robust well•favonred young fellow, was indicted for committing an assault on Mary Ann Davis, putting her in fear, and taking from her person a purse of 14 sovereigns her property. The prosecutrir, a widow, who appeared to be double the age of her faithless paramour, stated that the pri• soner had sweethearted her for some time, and things had gone so far that they were to have been 'partied last Tuesday week "by rood rights"—(Laughter). Indeed the prisoner had made long yrofessions of love to me—(Laughtet). He told me he never loved a wo man so well as me in all his life, except one, and she is dead—(Bursts of laughter). Ile said he had put 350/. in the Bank, and had 3941. to take out, because he had not taken up the dividends. We came to London on the Monday, the day of the robbery, to prrcure the license and snch like. We went to the Pi ince of Wales, in the Westin nster-road, and from thence to a public. house near Temple-bar. He had a trunk with him, which he said contained writings, m hick he should have lei milted by a lawyer, for he had brought them on purpose; he said he should want some money, and 1 said I would not part v.itei any till I found the writings were all right; he said, " )ou wig not disgrace me so as to let n:e stand by and see a woman pay ;" and then money from me. COMMON SEILMEAPIT.—The indictment states that you were put in fear. You were not afraid, were you? Witness—Afraid, nu! (Laughter). OMANLOI4-SERJEANT—YOM knew what he was after when be intro duced his hand to your pocket? Witness-0 yes. I knew what he was about, and so did be.— (Loud laughter). Thew itness proceeded to state, that the prisoner went away, and never returned. /Wet t his trunk, which con tained, instead of writings, as he said, a frying-pap, (a laugh), an old pair of shoes, a pair of binges, a parcel of rags, and such rubbish. Cover—Well, its a shameful part be has acted, and I hope you will receiver your money again; or, if the license is purchased, per haps--however, at all events it is quite clear that be did not com mit a felony, because you appear to have been a consenting party, therefore the prisoner must be acquitted. The prosecutor then turned a longing lingering, languishing look towards the prisoner, and articulated " Well, if it must be so, it must." (Laughter). The Jury then returned a verdict of Not Cosily. Wsfliatw Smith and Thomas Farb**, were indicted for robbing Samuel Russell of a gold watch, chain, and seals, in a low brothel in St. Luke's, on the 2.51 of October The prosecutor accompanied a girl home, and retired to bed. lire prisoners entered, one of them demanding his wife, abused, and robbed the prosecutor.— I'artridge was acquitted, on account of previous good character, but Smith was convicted, arid promised a voyage fur life. NEW COURT. Wm. 1 ownshend, aged 12, l homas Marne, aged 16, Thomas Sawyer, aged 15, and Thomas Jury, aged 14. fodr out of eight boys who were yesterday tried for robbing the orchard of Jacob Phillips, of Edmonton, were brought up to receive the judgment of the Court. Serjeint A RABIN said the trisoners had been in. dieted under a recent Act of Parliament, enacted for the protection of the owners of gardens and Orchards., So great had been the depredations committed in the viciany of London, that the LegislAture had been com pelled to mike that felony which had been before only a trespass. The Learned Serjeant then adjudged thr sentence of the Court, which was, that the prisoners Townshend and Tury be publicly whipped and confined three months to hard labbur in the House of Correction, as they' Were, it appears, old offenders ; and Sawyer and Marne to be privately whipped and discharg r.
