DREADFUL ACCiDE DRO NT- SEVENTY PER SONS WNED. • IRON THE GLASGOW COURIER OF SATURDAY. Yesterday moving, the steamboat Comet, with b asß agers from Invernels and Fort William, vile run eOA TI o ff Kempock Point, between Gourock and the Clauglr Light-house, by the steam-boat Ayr, ontwarck. b ,, un d. In rounding the Point the vessels came in t with such force and violence, that the Comet „,,, t down almost instantaneously, when above seventy fersons were, in a moment, precipitated into the deep FTERNITY ! Ten only are saved, out of above it o t y, which were believed to be on board. Among t lose escaped is the Master, who was got on shore, but ,ucli An exhausted state, that, at the date of our l a g accounts, he was unable to give any account hat had taken place, or of the passengers on board. There is too much reason to dread, that the greater nu mber of those who have perished are pers ns in the s uperior ranks of life. The Ayr, we learn, had a light nut upon her bow, • ; 41t the Comet had none. At. the night, however, was clear, it is obvious that a bad look-out had been kept up, And must reprehensible neglect shewn on bode sides. A)r received such a shock and WAS so much d a maged, that she reached Greenock with much d in a sinking state. It was blowing fresh, with a heavy sea. It was also exceedingly cold, and at the mcment the accident took place, those on the deck of he. Collet were, it is said, engaged dancing, to which amusement they were probably induced to resort in miser to keep themselves warm, there not being suf. fi:tent accommodation below for the number of pa:- sespers on board. Much valuable property had floated ashore yesterday morning. Every exertion was making t' save and lodge it in a place of security. Our respected towns man, Mr. Andrew R enkine, was particularly active on the occasion; and, at an early hour in the morning, Ms. Matsliall, Sheriff, from Greenock, had nesched the spot, to give his advice and assistance on this distressing erasion. Twelve dead bodies had been washed ashore by an early hour this morning ; amongst these were re° genteelly dressed females, two black servants, and Mrs:Wright, the widow of the late Archibald Wright, druggist, of this city. In the pockets of the body of aGentleman washed ashore, seventy pounds were found. Amongst those who perished, and whose names we can state from good authority, is Mr. Graham, of Corpach, Mr. Macallister, W. S. Edinburgh, and Captain Suther land, of the 33d Regiment, and his Lady, who v ere only five days married. The body of Captain Suther 14nd, and another passenger, were found in the yawl this morning. It is supposed she upset after they got into het. Mrs. Sutherland caught hold of Mr. Coin A'ex. Andei soil, from Appin (the only cabin-passenger aho is saved), and for some time clung round him bt in the struggle with the waves she lost her hold and perished. While swimming, much exhausted, and not knowing well in what direction the shore lay, Mr. Anderson was seized closely by the Engine-man, from shorn he found it impossible to disengage himself, and just as they were upon the point of sinking, they fortu nately came in contact with the boat's yawl, which they immediately caught hold of, and, in doing so, she fortunately righted, when they both clung to her, and leached the shore in safety, but mush exhausted. It is reported, that among the sufferers is the Lady of a Colonel in the army, with a family of seven children, from Inverness ; a Mr. Campbell, of this city, wi:h a ycung Gentleman, the only son of Mr. M'Braine, also of this city. We forbear to state further the repots elach we have heard of the names of the sufferers, lust we make mistakes, and wound, without reason, the feelings of friends at a distance. Besides Mr. Anderson and the Engine• man already mentioned, there were saved, viz. Capt. M'lnnes, the Pilot, the carpenter, a man a steerage passenger from Fort George, a young girl, and a woman who was floated ashore safely between two tables, but who un fortunately lost her child by the way. The poor man hum Fort George, and who is arrived in Glasgow, is , in a state bordering on delirium. To him Mr. Camp bell of Corpach clung for a considerable time, when a wave threw the great coat of the latter over the head of the former, which compelled him to throw Mr. Camp bell off, just as both wete upon the point of sinking. At the moment the fatal accident took place, we are informed, upon the authority of Mr. Anderson, just arrived in Glasgow, that the passengers who were below were in high spirits, amusing themselves, telling and listening to diverting tales. The first stroke bit abut the paddle of the Comet. The Captain and pasengers immediately ran upon deck to see what was wrong, when the next fatal stroke took place with such force, that the Comet filled, and in two minutes •vent down head foremost. Mr. Anderson, we regret to add, states, that the moment this took place the Ayr, instead of lendieg cheat any assistance, gave her paddles a back stroke, turned round and went off to Greenock, leaving them to their tate. if assistance had been rendered, be thinks many e/ the sufferers might have been saved; but in the state of alarm is which he was, he may have been mistaken. FURTHER PARTICULARS. /ROM THE GLASGOW CHRONICLE. It gives us great pain to record one of the most me lancholy accidents that ever occurred in this part of the country. The Comet steam-boat was on her way from Inverness to Glasgow, with between sixty and seventy passengers ; of these it was stated that twenty-six were in the cabin, and yesterday morning, about one o'clock, while passing the Point of Kempock, she was struck in the side by the Ayr steam luggage-boat. The Lands on board the different vessels were prevented from seeing each other by the headland, till it was too late to prevent the shock ; and as both were going at full speed, the crash was tremendous. Ile starboard bow of the Comet being staved in, she filled with wa ter, and almost instantly sunk; and with the exception of the following persons, the whole passengers were lost : Sian —Captain Mimics, the Pilot, an Engine-roan,a woman who lost her child, a young girl, the carpenter, Mr. Colin Alex. Anderson, Mr. Cameron, jun. Fort William • and three others. NA *nor Fns or rue Paxson. Loan. — Ca ptain Sutherland and his wife, only five days married; Mr. Graham, of Corpach; Mr. 3 PAlister, W.S. Edinburgh; and Mrs. Wright. We have seen a young Gentleman who escaped, and .have learned from him the following particulars :—The vessel was about a quarter of a mile from the. shore, when the accident happened. About half an hour be fore several of the passengers were engaged in dancing upon the deck, but they had almost all gone below. 'The first alarm heard, was from a person hailing, but from which boat was uncertain. Almost imme diately the shock was felt, and everybody ran on deck. --The water rushed in so rapidly that the engineman was up to his knees before be reached the deck. They tried to keep the engine going, thinking she might live them ashore: but the influx of water was so Ems that the engine was almost immediately stopped, . . . . And in three minutes after the vessel was struck she' sent to the bottoni.' Miring the short period which elapsed between the stroke and the sinking of the ves sel about thirty people crowded into the yawl before it was cut loose, and so hastily was this done that the one end of the boat was some tithe under the water, before the other end could be lowered, by which means the boat was upset, and threw them all into the water. The steam-boat went down bow foremost. The screams of the drowning people were •most ap palling, and cannot be described. They shouted to those on board the other boat to return to their assist ance but without effect ; our informer remained in the vessel till she sank from beneath his feet, and then swam as he best could: An engineer held him by the neck, and nearly drowned him ; fortunately he reached the overturned boat, which lay keel uppermost, to which the pilot and another were holding on the other side. He seized hold of one side of the boat, and the engineman still clinging to him; and by this additional weight the boat was righted. The whole four then got in. She was nearly filled with water, and being without oars, they were unable to make any exertion to reach the shore. They remained in this situation for about twenty-five minutes, when a pilot boat, whom the screams of the sufferers had alarmed,reached them. but in the struggle to get in, they nearly upset the pilot-boat, and were brought ashore clinging to the outside, or held by the hands of the crew of the Gourock pilot-boat. One old Highlander swam ashore, and a woman whose child was drowned came safe *slime on some article of furniture ; she had kept; hold of her child till she perceived it was dead, and then reluctantly resigned it to the deep. Our.in formant considers there would be about seventy people. on boa rds of these eleven were sated . When he left by the Greenock mail, this afternoon, eleven bodies had been drifted on shore. Besides many respectable people on their way to Edinburgh and Glasgow, there were, we are lel to believe, several traders pro ceeding to Glasgow, to make purchases for the approaching Fort William fair, and who may naturally be supposed to have had con siderable property on their persons. A pawnger on board the Ayr relates, that he was one of four cabin passenger% who were all below when the accident hap pened. lie had lain down on a sofa undressed, beard a noise for ward which alarmed him, and before he had time to disentangle himself from the clothes he had thrown over h'm, the vesstls struck with a tremendous crash. On reaching the deck he saw the Comet drifting from them and wheeling round. There was light enough of the moon to enable him to distinguish the hills on either side, and the various objects around. On board the Ayr, the utmost confusion prevailed. The Comet was in sight for about three minutes, when a most appalling shriek arose from the pasengers on bo:ad of her, evidently crouching to the side nearest the Ayr, and with outstretched arms imploring help; not a cry reached his ears after the vessel went down, and in a few moments the river was as unruffled as ever.— All ou board the Ayr were in the utmost consternation, and it is much to be feared in clown right stupefaction, with the exception of two seamen belonging to the Harmony, who, after endeavouring in vain totally the men belonging to the vessel, lowered the boat at the stern for the purpose of renderin; wha:ever assistance was in their power, but at the moment when she reached the water with one of the men in her, and before the tackles were yet un loosed, the steam was unfortunately set on, and boat and man dragged under the water ; he saved himself, however, by clinging to the ropes, and providentially for all on board reached the deck, when he and his companion: had enough to do to keep the vessel from going down. She was evidently in a sinking state. At the time of the accident the Ayr had a light at the bow, as well as a man on the look out. LOUDON'S ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF AORICULTURE.—This long expected Work will positively be published on Tuesday, the First of November. The delay has chiefly been occasioned by the Author's anxiety to render the Work u complete as possilde ; and in this respect it is confidently hoped that the Encyclopaedia of Agriculture will not fall short of the Encyclopaedia of Gardening. The Letter-press exceeds 1250 pages, and the Engravings are up wards of SOO in number. _ _ Letters from Paris mention that the noted Cacique' of Poyais has cut and run. After a series of dexterous intrigues, his Highness the Prince of the Mosquito Shore had succeeded in getting a vessel at Havre, on board of which he was very humanely shipping a num ber of deluded French families, to whom he had most bounteously. dealt out extensive tracks of rich and luxu riant lands 7 n Poyais,overiowing with milk and honey. The French police, who are not so delicate, en these subjects; as we are in England, finding that his High t r.e:.3 WAS about to add to the long list of victims he had already made, sent to arrest him, together with h;s Secretaries. Two of the latter were secu , e..! ; but his Highness, being informed by a servant, of what was passing, had the good luck to escape. His carriages, it would seem, were seized and sold, a feW days pre- vious to this event. A rumour was current in the City on Saturday, that it has been determined on to appoint immediately a Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Colombia, and that Mr. HURTADO, the present Envoy from that country, will be received in the same rank at the British Court.— Times. - -- -- - At the Beverley Sessions, on Monday last, three Officers belonging to the Seventh Hussars, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them with an assault on Mr. Dalby of the Beverley Arms Inn, and were sentenced one to pay a fine of 50/. another 301. and the third 20/. Friday, an Inquest was taken at Long Handborough, Oxfordshire, on view of the body of Maria Whitley, who was killed by a gun fired by a young man of the name of John Owen.—The Jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Owen, and the Coroner issued his warrant for the committal of Owen to the County Jail.

CHILD DROPPING--A female child, supposed to be about three months old, was found in the passage of No. 7, Little Coram-place, Russell-square, on - the 21st instant, wrapped in a blanket, and had on a white frock, white dimity cloak, muslin cap, quilted cotton bonnet, and pink pinafore. The infant is under the protection , of the parish of St. George, Bloomsbury, who are making every inquiry to find out the unnatural mother. At Durham Sessions, on Wednesday, George Hurls. pal. and Joseph Addy, were tried for a riot at Sunderland on the 3(1 August, in endeavouring to prevent the seamen from working a ship out of the river. The riot arose out of the disputes between the seamen and the ship-owners. The Durham Advertiser con tains the trial at great length. Both prisoner* were found Guilty. The Court sentenced them, George Hudspeth to six, and Josepb Addy to four months' imprisonment in the House of Correction , and to be kept to hard labour. John Hall, Turner Wilson , Joseph Howe, John fonwick, and John Taylor, also charged with being en gaged in the riot, and who had severally pleaded guilty, were sen tenced—Wilson, Howe, and Hall, to eight, and Feowick and Taylor to six months' imprisonment, and to be kept to hard labour in the House of Correction, and to find security for their good ' conduct for six months afterwards. On Saturday, and for several days previously, indi viduals in the City were employed in drawing up and signing re quisitions'to the Directors of several of the projected Joint Stock Companies to refund deposits, which seem to have been advanced to no purpose. Some Directors, finding that there was no proba bility of succeeding in the objects which they had first contem plated, returned the whole of the deposits. not even retaining any thing to pay the expenses which had been fairly incurred.

LAW INTELLIGEIIC~ COURT OF KINGS BENCH, OCTOBER 22. • . L.Aliiiitinitit V. CAVSTON. Mr. atiltifiAbi opened the pleadings, and the Cote . - mon Serjeant (Mr, Wins' A ti) state) the case to the Jut y. —This was an action of a totally hovel nature. The plaintiff had hired apartments in the house of the de fendam,in Bolingbroke-row,Walworth,and had rethoind his gtfods into them, when, on the 19th of Matich last, a fire broke out on defendant's premisei, by which the goods of the plaintiff were destroyed. The acti in was brought to recover the value of the furniture arid goods destroyed ; the declaration alleging that the defendant had wilfully and maliciously prevented any alarm being given to the plaintiff's wife, by which she WAS prevented liaving her property. A servant of the plaintiff proved, that the defendant had for some time prevented her giving the alarm of fire to her mistress, whia was lying ill in bed. Several other witnesses gave evidence to the amount of the plaintiff's loss, and to the defendant having promised to reimburse him out of bis receipts under his policy. Mr. ADOLTiIUS. for the defence, contended, that by an old statute of Queen Anne, relative to recoveries of losses sustained by fire within the bids of mortality, and by 14. George 111. no ac ion could be brought against any persons for the recovery of losses sustained by fire which had been accidental. He put it to the Jury whether there was any evidence that the defendant had been actuated by malice in refusing to let the servant inform the lodger of the fire? With respect to the pro mise of reimbursing the defendant for hi, losses, it was not on the decimation, and it therefore form:d no part of the present action. Verdict for the defendant. REBECIC V. KNIGHT. This was an action brought on behalf cf a poor pig keeper and cow-feeder at Windsor, to recover damages for a libel upon his cha' acter, published in the News paper called The Buchiaghaufshii, Linz: le, the Windsor and Eton Fxpress, and ifrading Atonal. 'lnc facts of the case were simply these :—The plain tiff kept four cows and a few pigs, at Windsor, and to eke out a means of subsistence, he let out the rooms of his house to labouring people, a: the rate or ss. a week. A p - ,or man, of the name of Richcroft, had taken one of the plaintiff's rooms, at the above tent, for the ac commodation of himself and three children, and a wife whom he expected to be confined. He had afterwards, agreed to take an additional room, at Ss. 6d. a week, upon which he had paid a portion of his rent in ad vance. The plaintiff had, however, refused him admis sion into this extra apartment, and he had therefore burst open the door, which had led to a quarrel and contest between him and the plaintiff, and the plaintiff's wife ; and the case being brought before the Magistrates, they were held to bail to take their trial for the assault. At the ensuing Quarter Sessions, the case was heard, and both Rebeck and his wife were acquitted. Under these circumstances, the defendant had published, in the Paper in question, a statement that the plaintiff had behaved with the utmost brutality towards Richcroft, by assault-, ing him, by beating his children, and by taking the bed' from under his wife during her confinement, by which he had terrified her almost to the degree of losing het life. The publication then proceeded to state, that this conduct was doubly brutal on the part of this pig keeper, Richcroft having recently known better days, and the pig-keeper himself having been .previously re lieved by a public subscription, upon the occasion cf the loss of two of his four cows. The alleged libel de scribed the conduct of the plaintiff as a brutal violence, too painful for the honour of human nature to record. The defendant pleaded to the present action, that part of the rbel was a fair report of the proceedings for an assault taken against Itebeck, before the Magistrates, and that the remainder of the alleged libel was true. M:. Scauterr, for the defence, contended that the action was of a most paltry nature, contrived by the Attorney for the sake of his c , :sts; and lie ridiculed the idea of the plaintiff having sustained any injury by the publkation. The case went to the Jury upon the evidence, to support the de. fendaut's two pleas of justification; and under a very strong charge ,runt the Judge, the Jury found for the plaintiff—damages, £so. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. John Austin was indicted for assaulting Thomas Ford, one of the gaolers of Bow-street. The pi ironer, it appeared, was ordered to be locked up in default of bail, and on Ford's taking him out of the Office for that purpose, he suddenly turned upon , him, and, after knocking him down, jumped upon his chest, and seizing his lett wrist with his teeth, bit out a large piece of flesh. The outcries of Ford brought other officers to his assistance, and the prisoner was se. cured, and by direction of Mr. Halls, placed in irons. The wound on the wrist of the Officer is yet in such an alarming state as to leave it questionable whether he will not lose the use of that hand. Verdict—Guilty. Sir Rickman Brame observed, that Ford was one of the most humane, harmless, and inoffensive Officers he had. The CHAIRMAN, after dwelling on the enormity of the offence, sentenced him to one year's imprisonment and bard labour. Robert Charles . stood indicted for assaulting Mary, the wife of William White, with an intent to commit a rape. There was another count charging a common assault. Mr. ALLEY stated the case for the prosecution. Mary White deposed, that she lived with her hus band, who kept 'a coffee-shop in White Horse-street, Piccadilly. On the night named in the indictment her husband was out, and she, as was usual in such cases, went to bed, leaving her room door unlocked. About four o'clock in the morning she awoke and found a person in bed, who she supposed to be her husband.— (The witness proceeded to state what occurred, and from which it appeared that the unhappy woman had, under mistake, surrendered up her person to him.) In attempt ing afterwards to raise his head upon the pillow, she felt a flannel waistcoat, an article her husband never wore, and being thus convinced how cruelly she had been imposed upon, she jumped out of he 1 , and called for assistance, and succeeded in rousing a lodger, by whom the prisoner was secured. William White, her husband, stated, that he had been spending the evening. with the prisoner, who ex pressed his fears that he should be locked out, and wit ness, theiefore, offered to permit him to sit in his par lour till the morning, pronniSing also to sit with him. Witness, after reaching home, soon fell into a sleep, from which he was awoke to be informed how cruelly his hospitality had been abused. Mrs. White was recalled. Mr. Prawn—Now, pray Madam, had not the man, during the time*, was in bed with you, his boots and small-clothes on? Mrs. White—Yes, he had. Mr. l'lmmes—Was your husband accustomed to come to bed with his boots and breeches on? Mrs. White—He did once. The Cmarasuar interposed, and enquired, whether after such evidence, Mr. Alley would carry the prosecution farther? Mr. ALLAY replied—" Yes, certainly ; she is an innocent woman, and the victim of brutality ; she was unconscious that he was not her husband, and she made no resistance." Outman—Let the case go on, I will not stop it ; but it is very strange that she should not make the discovery. OR N. risluz—Stu ev•dent'y suppmetl that use. man Wu taw husband, and she called to Donaldson, the °facet. . = 1 Mr. Pututes—lt is a mistake, Sir Richard, the ma* hi last an officer. • Sir IL BIRTIIt —Well, he is a lodger then, and he went to ter sistance when she *creamed nut. • * bed with Mr. Pinurrs—Yes, but in what country do they go to their breeches and boot& on to commit such a crime? Sir It. Hotoite—They may do so in Ireland—(Laughter.) , Mr. White examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—I have gone to bed with my wife with my breeches and boots on. - • . Mr. Pottues—And spurs also? Witness—No, Sir. Mr. Poitites—Why did you not go to bed to your wife wben you arrived at home? . . . . Wittiest—l did net wish to leave the prisoner alone its the how; and I sat with him to keep him company. . . Pittt.t.ll.3, on behalf pf.the defendant, impressed 'contrition for the offence, which, under the influence of licluor; he had been betrayed into, and stated his cliviit'S willingness to mitigate the injury by making any coni pensatron in h i s, power: The CHAIRMAN, in summing up, called the Jury's attention to the fact that the indictment charged only the attempt, while the evidence went to prove its in!' perpetration, a circumstance which he considered fatal to that part of the indictment, and it only, therefore, remained for them to say whether, as respected the common assault, he was guilty or not ? The Jury, after a short conference, found him Guilty generally. TheCliAl OMAN, in pronouncing judgment, regarded the verdict as applying to the common assault , l ily . , • and for this he seatenced him to three monthe.,.iiiiiri. snument. _ _ In the course of the trial the Chairman expressedkpidapieinn that, under the circumstances, an indictment for the capistiaik*Fe would have been a good one. .l yet. lu.o • Mr. Jong PARISH Rossnrsnig, Agent for the Pe ruvian Government, has received a dispatch under date 28th May, From Lima, announcing the formal ratification of the second Peru vian Loan. _ The Wellington, respecting whose safety great fear was entertained, arrived at Cork last month, with her own crew and that of the Nancy, which bad been picked up by the former. There are at present twenty-six prisoners under sen tence of death in Newgate. An order was sent on Saturday from the Home De partment to Newgate, for the immediate conveyance of William tiristmas, who was tried and convicted at the last Old Bailey Sessions, for embezzling money be longing to Messrs. HOARES, bankers, to the Justitia hulk, at Woolwich, preparatory to his transportation to New S uth Wales. The Woodman will sail in a short time, with 150 male convicts, from Woolwich and Sheerness, for Van Dieman's Land, and the Sesostris will also sail in a short .time with 150 male convicts, from Portsmouth, for Sydney. Saturday, an altercation took pl .ce between a Gen tleman and the driver of one of the Margate coaches, at Gravesend. The Gentleman wished a Lady to pro ceed in the same coach with himself, although she had booked herself to go by the coachman who was driving her. The driver resisted, blows were exchanged, and ultimately the coachman received a stab from the Gen tleman's dirk-stick, into was immediately put in custody, as the wound is considered dangerous. An Inquest was held on Saturday on the body of John Young, who was blown up with the Hounslow Powder Mill, on Thursday. No facts transpired beyond those already stated ; the verdict was Accidental Death. DRZADVUL NIIIRDER." We have just heard," says the Shrewsbury Chronicle, gi that a murder was com mitted at Wrexham, Denbighshire, on Sunday night. Mary Woolana', - whose husband lives at Marchwiel, left `her family about two years ago, and residei in a house of doubtful character. Her body was discovered in a mangled and horrible state. Spots of blood were upon her face and neck ; several blows had been inflicted upon her left temple, and down that side of her body ; several ribs were broken, and her thigh lacerated. The top bar of die kitchen grate was found near the body. A man, named Samuel Roberts, is suspected to be guilty of the crime. He is a blacksmith, from Man chester, and lived some time at Wrexham. This mail had by many beef considered a bully or procurer for the house where ts the murder was committed, and it is stated that some threatening expressions were uttered by him in a public-house. When the murder was com mitted, it is supposed that the parties were in a state of intoxication." SHOOTING MATCH. • MOND AND LAST DAY ' S SMOOTING GATTAIN SASS AND 1111. MCC At termination of the day's sport, on Tuesday, the num bers were:—Al r. Co[[, fifty-three brace and a half ; Captain Ross, forty.

Captain Ross's shooting this day, was the admiration of all the lookers-on. He killed between fifty and sixty birds with out missing, and did not miss a fait shot all day. PRDESTRIANISM. The great foot race for one thousand sovereigns. between DA t.. TOI4, one of the fastest runners in Hngland, and Captain Coutrosd. of Southwell, took place on Saturday, over two miles of ground in Atherstone Park, Bucks. The distance was sixteen miles, and Datrow gave his opponent four minutes. Captain Com.yox off his speed in the eleventh mile, and was at length beat easy. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, OCT. 24.
