DUMFRIES, JANUARY I. AmiJst the swell of the tide at the Drlck-head yester day. the sloop Nancy ran on board of the wherry Hen netts, and carried away her main mast, besides causing other material damage. As the shock was altogether unexpected, the two men on board narrowly escaped sudden death, or at least severe bodily injury. We are sorry to announce the loss of 44 Agnes Louden" of Kirkcudbright, with all hands, consisting of It. Car son, master, Basil Allan, seaman, and a boy. This vessel sailed for Liverpool on Saturday week, the 22d ult. and was laden with a ♦aluable cargo of grain. The weather, though moderate when the " Agnes Louden" put to sea, soon became stormy and tempestuous in the extreme, and on Monday the 24th, she was driven ashore at Bissham, on the Lancashire coast, without masts, with one part of her timbers torn from the other, and the cargo sown on the surface of the waves. Long before this, the hands had been washed o verboard, and the body of the master has ►ince been cast ashore, and de• .cently interred in Blackpool burying ground. It is with regret we add that Carson and Allan have both left wives and young families to deplore their untimely and melancholy fate. A letter from an officer of the Customs, at the Water of Urr, addressed to a Gentleman in this town, states, that east of the wreck of a sloop or schooner has been cast ashore in Rascarrel Bay. The vessel appears to have been built of American fir, and has a broad white • st:ipe wider the chenncl bends, with a narrow one above; the ceiling painted red, and the stauncheon. green. As yez no trace has been obtained of the vessel's name, and it is much feared that the %hole of her crew have found a watery, grave. AYR, DECEMBER 27. Oa the 20th instant, Sir JAMES Boswata., of Auchin leck, Baronet, attained majority, and the event was ce lebrated at Ocbiltree with the greatest enthusiasm. A flag was dssplayed on the top of Ochiltree-House from sun-rise till sun -set, and a large bonfire was lighted at the Cross in the evening. The Rev. Mr. LINDSAY, the Minister of the parish, attended by the tenantry on the Auchinleck estate on the OclriWee side, assembled at the Cross, where they drank the health of Sir JAMS amid loud acclamations. They then retired to the Inn, where many loyal and appropriate toasts were given. At eight o'clock a numerous assemblage from the vil lage and parish, accompanied by a piper. and drums and fifes, with flambeaus, torches, &c. and the Cove naming colours, proceeded so Auchinleck House, where a feu-de-joie was fired, followed by loud cheers. The family came out and declared themselves highly gra tified. After being addressed in a very appropriate man ner by Sir James, they separated, all highly pleased. SHREWSBURY, Dec. 29. At Whitchurch, in this county, the fox hounds met at the Tremlows; and in the evening a large company of Gentlemen having dined at the Tontine Inn, they departed, except two or three, who retired to a smaller room to enjoy their extra bottle. In a short time a ire- Inendous crash was heard: the waiter rushed into the room, telling the Gentlemen that the walls and roof of the ball•toom, from whence they. had just adji urned. bad fallen in and become a mass of rubbish I The Gen tlemen deliberately took their wine, and then viewed the ruins under which they escaped being buried. This room formerly comprised eve' al small Apar t (Bents, and by taking down the division wa..s, the exterior walls were weakened, and thus disabled from suppor;ing tl.e extensive roof and ceiiing. This building was seldom un occupied : a week ago there was an extensive display Lf . china for sale within it, and about 200 spectators present. ANGLO-MEXICAN MINING ASSOCIATION, Yesterday a Meeting of this Association was held at the City of London Tavern, pursuant to notice, for the • purpose of taking into consider . ..6°n a report of the pro • ceedings tor the last year. Mr. BARCLAY, in the Chair. The report commenced by stating, that Mr. Edward Hurry had been deputed by the Directory to F roceed to Mexico, to ascertain the state of the differeut mines, and that from the accounts received Iron time to time from him, the Directors were led to conclud : Ist, That the undertaking was proceeding on too large a scale.- 2.1, That, considering the dilapidated state of the mine. when they came into the po session of tl,e Associa. lion, n:ore work was undertaken than was ; ; 3d, That the mines now working by the Company are of unquestionable value. The report then pro . • ceeded to state that two steam engines, of 36 horse power each, had been forwarded to Vera Cruz, to astist • the means usually appl ed in that country to drain the • • mines, and went on generally to say, that in all the I mines in which draining had been commenced, that a very great diminution of water had taken place, so as to lead to an expectation of the most favourable results. That the attempt to introduce suddenly the Cornish system of mining, would be inadvisable; that the pro. , portion of outlay to return in the year 1825, was as 1 to 7 ; and that of 1826 was as 1 to 2i. That the mines were incoming mere productive, and would very likely, this past year, go near to covering all expenses. That the immense' gums expended on the mines by the former proprietors was a sufficient guarantee to tie Associa tion of the real value of the miner, and that as the , water is drained off, and the miners advance, the pros . pects of success continue to increase. ' 'll,e CHAIRMAN then read extracts from the letters _ received from Mexico; the chief feature of which wa, . the conclusion of a long pending treaty for the purchase . of the remainder of the mine of Serena. This had been, it appears, concluded on terms advantageous both as to, price and time of completing the payment. The Sacturrene then read an abstract of the dis bursements of the Association during the last twelve months, amounting to nearly 100,0001. of which three-fourths bad been in payment of bills drawn on the . Association from Mexico, and the remainder expended for quicksilver, machinery, stores, &c. sent out, as well as for salaries and wages. • The CHAIRMAN then proposed that a Special Meeting be called, for the purpose of altering the time of electing • . directors from the 31st of December to the 30th June of each year ; the next election in take place on the Ist . of July next; and tlAt the accounts for the year should henceforward be closed on the first Wednesday in July, instead of, as heretofore, on the first Wednesday in Jannary. This motion was carried, as well as one for printing the Abstract of disbursements; and the Meeting, w' ' was very respectable, tbea broke up. Yesterday morning two boys, named Johnson and . Oast, were amusing themselves is St. Martin's -street, Lein' ester-square. letting off gunpowder, and Johnson having stooped down to apply a light to some wildfire, '• lit suddenly exploded, and injured his eyes in .that dread. manner s that it is feared he will never recover bs sight.

Yesterday there was a turn-tip between Dick Curtis, celebrated in the Prize Ring. and Coleman, equally celebrated as a Diamond Merchant. They fought for lace. The stakes were deposited in the palms of their fists, and the ground was marked out in the Bbekfriars road. The match was made on the instant on the spot where the battle took place, nut tar distant from Certis's Half penny Hatch, and rose from the following circumstances. Dick Curtis was passing down the road with two men of the Fancy, when Coleman accidentally flourished his whip, which hit the Fancy men, who twitched it. This p. oduced word', and blows followed. The heroes stood out for a regular mill. They instantly peeled, and the fight commenced, which lasted for 16 minutes, in the course of which some smart fi3hting tail place. Dick's prowess and science is well knOwn, but he had to contend with ill ugly customer in the Diamond Merchant, whose blows' were well directed. Cords, however, by superior sdtrce, seemed to have the best, and planted some dextrous and excellent hits on his adversary's proho'cis; he drew the first claret. In the third round, he ne.trly closed up Cole man's left peeper. They fought greatly to disadvantage, fur the ground was not properly kept,and the ring was hr oken in repetredly. Atter fighting about :53 rounds, Cuiem.n played booty, and gave in, on repeated invitations receiving front a niost respectab:e inhabi tant of the road, one shilling as the price of his courage! Dick and his backers, then bo!ted through Cunies liatf-peony A. 4013. Dick was cettainly considerably scratched, andit seemed ta be - the opi• nion of all the Fancy, that if Coleman had been allowed plenty of sea-room, he would have beat Dick, notwithstanding his science. Coleman was most sadly mauled. FROM THE ANNALS or iPORTINGi FOR THE PRESENT MONTH. _ At the close of this month the fowling-piece may be laid aside, unless in the immediate neighbourhciod of fens and marshes, where, during February, the best wild fowl shooting is frequently to be obtained; nay, pending the c.nie month, woodcocks and snipes will also afford divetsion, As winged gams, legally speaking, ceases, however. to be au object of pursuit when January is past, so those who prefer shooting to the pursuit of the bare or the fox, will naturally make the best use of their time ere they take an unwilling leave of their favour to pastime for about seven months. Still it must he remarked that shooting can only now be followed but en a circumscribed scale, as the pursuit of all kinds of grooms has ceased, 'and partridges may be regarded as unapproachable, except in places where they have experienced little or no disturbance during the season ; or where; by some accident, perhaps, they happen to be , driven amongst strong faded fern, •r some •similor, tester where, to us • a common expression, " they will lie like stones." Pheasants, on the contrary, do not, like grouse and partridges, become wild ; and for the following reasons—they are found in hedge rows, in old dry pits, plantations, woods, or other strong covers • in fact, they are fund of places where they can hide themselves fro m: human ob servation, and, under such circumstances, very rarely fail to allow I tie near approach of the shooter. Thew observations are more especially applicable where the bird under consideration is found by the pointer' or setter, which, by the by, is 'not the modern method esed by great and extensive pheasant preservers. In many covers, In numerous parts of England, pheasants literally abound; and, on such places, where a day for shooing is appointed, the birds are sprung by men instead of clogs : a number of walkers are appointed, i who regularly beat the cover in parallel lines with the shooters, one., dog Wu allowed to accompany the party as a retrieves; and, osi such occasions, if the animal is broke well to his business, he as id the utmost utility in recovering and bringing the wounded birds.-- Out readers will easily perceive that we are now speakhirof baste shooting. Woodcocks are pursued in like mannef, because they BM generally found in the same covets asiaheasants, but, of course, in' much fewer numbers. Indeed.* battu-shouting, nothing is spared exce, t the hen pheasants; rabbits, hates, and, indeed, every aiiiniar the cover contains, is douched to run the gauntlet, destined to the massacre. Woodcocks presented themselves very early. so that anticipation calculated on a richer harvest than posterior circunistarices I uldileel however, a fair average (perhaps more) . has been found; manr, indeed, yet remain to afford diversion during the present month; and a few odd birds will be picked up for some time after. In regard to Wild-fowl, there is reason to expect abundance during the month of January., The common wild duck is the first . to present itself, (many of these birds are indeed bird in England, but the great bulk of them retire further north, fur the purpose of propagation,) followed by the wigeon, the teal; the sheldrake, and various other ramifications of the duck tribe. Geese ( ' are late in their appearance; and Swans are "Mum seen (at least in Rocks), except in extraordinary severe winters. When flocks of geese are seen in the early part o: the sea •on, such appearance augurs a fuhure plenty of all kinds of wild fowl; we • speak from the observation of a long stoics of years when we say this; further, we have found the month of Jauuary uniformly the most abundant in this species of game; and for a very a.ttisfactory reason—it is the period when the severest frosts genet ally occur. Geese form but an indifferent dish fur the table; they are lean and stringy, and, whilst in the mar ket the wild duck finds a ready sale at haifoi-crown, the wild goose can scarcely meet with a purchaser at eighteen-pence. On the north west coast, many flocks of geese were seen in the early part of November ; and, on the first, second, aod fourth of December, we observed them still ochre numerous ; consequently, according to our hypothesis.. good eport may be expected with Wild fowl during the month of January. Our correspondent aT. F." observes, "That the wild goose, seen in such large flocks in the islands to the north of Scotland, the Skelij Islands, off the coast of Kerry, in Ireland, on the Bass Island, in the Flitb of Edinburgh, doe. Weaned Sotand, or Solari, somethings Gannet, and is a species of the Gull kind.— Whenever the Gannet is seen, it is sure to announce to the fishermen the arrival of the filmy tribe, as they assidupusly attend the shoals of herrings in their passage through the British Channel. Those in my calendar, viz. the gray leg, the barnacle, called, also, clakis, and Canada goose of Lintizus, breed in Hudson's Bay, Lapland, Green land, dec. Seine of them, not having' strength or courage sufficient for the accustomed voyage, take up, from necessity, their habitation in the Orkney Islands acid places adjacent." Harriers will also be busily employed ; and what with battues, (coursing, and hunting, 't the poor, timid hare" must suffer greatly. Harriers, now-a-days, are, generally speaking, bred too large and too powerful t under the notion, no doubt, of assimilating hare hunting to the pursuit of the fox ; but we consider it a mistaken notion, since the animals which in these two cases constitute the objects of ptirsuit arc so different in their nature and niatiner of run sciog, that the modes of following them can scarcely be said to ap proximate under any circumstances. Fox Hem-ma—This noble, this superlatively glorious diversion, may be regarded ai approaching It zenith. Foxes run better after than before Christmas, and, consequently, affurd'superktr diversion. It has been well remarked by a celebrated writer, that " hunting .is highly interesting to the human heart." . Now, as far as relates to sportsmen, we are of opinion that all would be fox hunters, Where they are all able to ride, and to keep a stud sufficient to do the trick well. There is taught (but " dear woman"), as " A Courser" says, bail " so divine" open earth. /biCb ' Accounts from Vas-Diemen's Land mention that the Dallies are again at work, carrying eaughter and de. vastation wherever they gel. 'A tribe had appeared at Quamby's Bluff, and had committed numerous murders. In the month of June the numbers of Europeans and others spearedto death amounted to six ; amongst whom ,was as old man, whose body, was pierced through and through, and his head beaten flat. Upwards of sixty of the savages had been billed or woonded by the military INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, J. 2. iIVERTION OF PRACTICE.

The clothes which Smith had worn on the night he received the wounds looked as if they had been steeped in blood, and the jacket and waistcoat were cut through from the shoulder across the belly to the hip, with a razor; so that if very little more exertion ,had been used by Bilden, the prosecutor never could have lived to telt what happened to him. The prosscutor s was unable to Identify any of the prisoners except Podeti. The prisoners were again remanded, In order that Captain Ford's son, whose evidence is very material, might attend. GUILDHALL. Yesterday Thomas Stevens, who described himself as a hackney coachman, was charged before Sir Pyrite LAURIE with a daring street robbery. Charles Salter stated, that he resided at 0.3, Berwick-street, Soho ; about twelve o'clock last night he was passing along Wych.strcet, in company with a young woman, when he was knocked down and became insensible.'

A watchman, of Bouverie-street, stated, that be saw the pri soner nin past his box about two o'clock; he fol!!',wed him, and after taking several turns through the courts, he came up with him; he then gave charge of the gentleman, and he, with the assistance of another watchman, took them both to the vsatchbouse. There the prisoner said he knew the gentleman had not 10-t his watch. Two hours after this the gold seals and riband were found placed in a corner of the ciil of Mr. CAI - lilt's door. Sir Yas•sa LAURIe said there was sufficient to send the prisoner for trial, but he would remand him mail Friday, that a little boy might be produced, who had .seen the prisoner before the second attack on the complainant. 110W-STRERT.

The morning of Tues day sennight had been appointed for the marriage of this amiable .young Lady to James Hadden, Esq. Captain in the 31 Dragoon Guards—a union in which the characters and situation of the par ties held out a prospect of worldly happiness, resting upon the fairest and most solid foundations. On the Monday night, the family, with the exception of the mother of the young Lady, had re tired to rest. Mrs. Reid remained in the drawing room. A little after eleven o'clock, she was alarmed by the cries of disrfest sod an rising to leave the apartment, she was met at the door by her beloved daughter in her night dress, in a flame of fire! By the exertions of Mrs. Reid, and a maid servant who follcrwed, Miss Reid was wrapped in the curtain of the drawing room, and the fire extinguished, but not until its ravages had produced effects upon her delicate frame, which no human skill could relieve. The best medical aid was promptly procured, and every human effort resorted to, but in vain ! and after a period, from the time of the occurrence of this fatal accident, of two days, spent in a perfect possession of her faculties, she died.
