EIX.C.I3URGII HIGH COURT. OF ADMIRALTY. . THE CoMILT sx.x.awnoer. xe,!nesday, Duncan Minnes, the Master, and Peter the pilot of the Conies' stein-boat, were put • their The indictment charged, that basing the direr: inn of t!•e Comet, which they steered without having a light Wised to some conspicuous• part- thereof, iii conse onrenee of their extreme carelessness and culpable neg. ilea in directing the course of the said boat, they b ang h t t h e Comet in collision with another steam boat, called the Ayr ; and the said Comet steam-boat was theneby sunk, and about 62 persons drowned. In one part of the plea, put in by way of answer for the prisoners, it is stated that if the Ayr had been i;, its proper course, and had been managed properly. before the vessels struck, no such collision would have tAken place; and even though it had, it is quite certain, if that vessel bad been conducted properly after ' yards, the lives of probably all those who ire said to tire pen ;shed, might have been saved. 'Peter Sutherland, late Carpenter of the Comet, ex amined.—The first thing that attracted his attention was bearing M.Lachlan, who was standing at the lar. bord paddle-bnX, cry out " Port the helm 1" the effect of which would be to put the vessel's head to the starboard, or in this case to the shqre. Immediately afters : anis, in less than half a . minute, be heard the word " star board" given by some parson =Et, the centre f the vesseNbaft the chimrsor.-• trh• :weasel , answeled thc order to port the helm,' but' lialWas:aset - certain shtther the.secondordc wentikeen34tig". *le ran for ward to the bow, -rind steam boat coming down at the distance, Of itsmary• wan hundred yards, from thern.. • The Ayr had. a %hi ar her starboard bow.

'Heard an given to set on the engine. and Mlnhes tall out, " tnmnrthetComet -ashore." The. pieseligers rushed tpon deck, and greeteenksion and cries ensued. He pushed the Ayr off with his head; and heard : a voice on wird the Ayr call out to set on the engine; and, while the 'Comet was making a little vat) , to the shore, the Ayr passed on in her course, as if proceed;ng on her voyage. An attempt was made to lower the boat off-the Cxnet, and when be ran abaft, one end of it was in the water, and it was crowded with passengers. and saiile.of the crew, and immediately sunk. About two min,utes after the small boat- sunk, the Comet went 64:n ; and it • e as between three and four minutes after tha Comet was struck before. the sunk. Witness was :snding on the, quarter decks 'ehe sweat ashore. At the tame the Comet sunk, the Ayi had.left her nearly a quatter of a mile, in the direction of the Cloth Light hbuse. as far as he could judge' :Whea he was swim ming, he saw the Ayr run -up pest the. Comet. He hailed the Ayr, but got• no. easiest, and is Uncertain whither he Was heard or not. Several, of . the passengers Who were saved were then • thamined. and stated, that the Captain and crew were totter, and everything on board orderly conducted. Thomas M'Lelland, master of the Ayr steam-boat, tailed from Greenock about inc o'clock on Friday morning, the 21st of Okiober. There was a latithorn and a candle lighted- in iron the starboard bow. It is the practice et other Steam-boats to carry lights at tight,. in navigating that' part of the river. Immedi ately on leaving the quay, be ordered 'two men to be stationed in the forecastle, and one at the fennel, to pass the word to the steersman. He was stationed on the larboard paddle - box. The man kept a sharp look-out. They were afraid of fishing boats, add did not expect to fall in with a steam-boat. He Lad been aft at the binnacle head, when be heard the man at the forecastle call out,' a boat a-head, starboard • the helea;' a regulation that is followed when steam boats meet. He immediately went forward, thinking •-it was a small boat, but before he got to the forecastle, the collision took place.—This was the first time he had sten the Comet. Had heard no cry from the Comet, -• and she had no light up. After the collision, the yes ski hounded from each other about fifteen or twenty tee:. They didelot alter their direction, the engines r. being stopt, and the Ayr passed he• Comet in s:tnre. The engines of the Ayr were two of thirty iliccre power. They had only gone about three lengths v:-.zu he called to the engineer to stop the engines, and the same breath, ordered their boat to be lowered. these orders were obeyed.--After he saw the t..g::.es stops, he heard a cry aft, and then be ran ID se.e t alt was right on board his vessel. He ordere.l ltZ Ibteersmail to port the helm, but she did not an ' awer the helm. The, then hoisted the jib, and put helm a-starboard, when the vessel tame round. he got her round and wore, the Comet •I id disappeared and gone down. He directed the Viet to steer in the direction of the place where he I.ad last seen the Comet. When they came to the spot v acre they supposed the Comet had gone down, they sapped about ten minutes. and looked round, and called or , . but could hear nor see nothing. When he put on t:In: engine, he steered for Greenock.. The passengers Ist :4 entreat i ng hi m to save their lives, and run the it..ssel on shore. His crew consisted of nine in all. Me l e'line was stopped the first time about Mecca seconds. It was so dark at the time the eollisioniarok place, that Yo::. could not see more than a kw yards from the =" 0 . 1 tse night was starry could s.c the land, but 11 , 3 t en object oil it. Robert know, late pilot of the Ayr, gave evident', nearly to•the same effect; but acknowledged that the Ayr had passed the Comet abbot 11411 a mile, before her engines were stopped, and they were done so bi order o the waster. They did not stop abbve a minim They then steered to the spat abets the Coaret,swerit.down, and stopped there for about ten inittutel., Th; Captain ordered them to listen whether they heard anything, but they did not, after which they sailed for Greenock. The declaration of the Captain of the Comet was then read over to the Jury, along with that of the Pilot. This closed the case fqr the Crown. EVIDENCE FOR THE PANNELL. John White was on board the Ayr at the time the Comet was struck, and was below. When he felt - the shock, he went on deck, the engine stopt, and was kept so for about ten minutes, after; whits!) the engine was set 'on again, and the Ayr proceeded down the Clyde.-- . Shortly after the engine of the Ayr was again stopt, and the boat tried to be lowered, and before the tackles were unhooked, the engine was set on and the boat filled. The Ayr would not wear for same time; the jib was set to assist her. At la•t, when she did wear, sheprosteeded tip the Clyde towards Greenock. He heard no order given to go to the spot where the Comet had been, and the Ayr did not go is that sp 't; but, from the cries heard by those on board the Ayr, they tried again to lower the boat. Witness got no order from the Captain (McLellan) to lower the 1).44 but it was suggested by his comrade, Alex 'nder Pollock, who observed to wit.- ness, '6 My Goo ! Jack, is it not a terrible thing to hear these people drowning, and u. unable to give them any assistance?" At this time the Ayr was about fifty yards from the Comet. He at no time heard the Captain give any order to assist the people on boar d the Comet ; but he (the Captain) and some of his people assisted to hoist up his own boat to get the water out with which it was filled. The cause of the boat swamping was the steam being put on. James Ross is a pilot in the Clyde. Recollects the night of the accident; it was perfectly clear. A vessel might (by witness) be seen on such a night, at a distance of a mile and a half, though carrying no lights. Several Gentleiner, who had frequently gone by ano ther steam-bo.st (the Highlander), when it was com manded by Captain Ma. Innes, gave him the character of a sober, attentive, and skilful master. The LORD ADVOCATE summed up the evidence. He observed, that wherever an individual loses his ife, under any circumstances, a trial and a verdict were necessary to satisfy the public, and present, as far as possible, a repetition of the catastrophe. If an ordi nary cases such a course be considered wise and advan tageous, surely in this instance it was much more so. This was an unexampled calamity—where many indi viduals in perfect health and enjoyment, expecting to land soon at the homes of their ft imids—sitor having passed many difficult and dangerous points along a rocky coast, were a recked within 186 yard. of the shore; and that shore no strange or fin bidden coasi, but their native land, the abode of their countrymen and kinsmen. No circumstances chewed that any degree of blame could attach to those on board the Ayr, previous to the collision. That'boat sailed from Glasgow at an hour which was regulsted by the tide in the harbour of Ayr, of could only cute the latter place at high water. The boat accordingly left at half-past twelve, in order to reach Ayr by six o'clock. The reason of this was abeam at be good, and sufßcieutly justified their starting arthat time. On the voyage down the river there was no blame attachable to those on board the Ayr. Lights were put out on the bow ; two men were stationed ia.the bow, two at midships to repeat the word to the steersman; the pilot was at the helm, and the Captain himself was on the paddle-box; and besides all these precautions, he had been proved to have given special directions to keep a good look-out a-heat, which Wks carefUlly done, as it came out in evidence in the clearest manner, that so soon as oue of those at the bow observed the Comet, he instantly called out " boat a head," and the other as promptly called " starboard your helm." Su far all was right and laudable. It was the general rule in practice, when two vessels met in similar circumstances, that they both starboarded their helms, and so kept clear. Hence this was the right order. They naturally expected that those on board of the Comet would likewise starboard her helm, and so keep clear. But it unfortunately occurred, that while the Ayr starboarded her helm, the Comet lax.- boarded her's. A second order was soon given, and then the Comet starboarded, but down to that moment no blame was attachable to the Ayr. Their conduct afterwards was by no means so unexceptionable. The Ayr first proceeded towards the shore; they knew not the extent of the injury they had sustained, and were not certain but they themselves were in a sinking state. The impulse of self-preservation, the strongest in nature, was their first motive. S ion after the shock, the muter heard a call that his vessel was not much injured, and could stand for an hour. She was then immediately stopt by taking off the steam. After this, although their conduct was blameable to the last degree, in not returning to . succour the drowning, much excuse was to be made for the state of mind in which they must have been from such an occurrence. The Learned Lord then called the attention of the Jury strongly to the conduct of the Master of the Comet. His Lordship in particular insisted upon leading points of the aggrat ration arising from the want of lights, notwithstanding the hour at width the Comet left Rothsay, and the notorious tact, that the moon had set an hour and. a half before -the fatal collision—which, as seamen, they must have been well aware of, and indeed had observed on the preceding night. It had, besides, been proved, that there were candles on board, used the night before, but on that :tight none were used.— Surely, then, it was the duty of the master to remain at the bow, or at least on deck. But it was proved that he did not, por did he make his appearance on de* till the shock had taken place, although his excuse for going below was most unsatisfactory, seeing that if it was merely as he had stated, to inform the passengers that they were approaching Greenock, he had no less than five stewards, and;several others, who might have cattiest the news below. The master did not even appoint . a look out. No on,e was found on that dutyo !Isere was no regular watch, for when McLachlan called to the pilot " Port," he was on the paddle-box. His Lordship'conteaded, that from the whole of the , evidence regarding the clearness of the night, it was impossible we Ayr should not have been seen, and the danger avoided, had even a lapderate care been exer cised by Wise on board the comet. Besides, had the Captan of NI Comet been at his post on deck, there would have b& *co contradictory orders, and thus, too, the calamity /tad been averted. .The !teamed Lord then tilled upon the Jury to mark their smolt of the negligence and culpabioty oldie flannels by a vet -4.1 ct of bu lty. The cffct.t of this would, howcs cr slight I a punishment might follow cn it, have a great influ ence in preventing the recurrence of such dreadful .catastrophes. Whereas, if they should be dismissed 'from the bar, it would operate as an encouragement to others to repeat the offence. This was not merely a breach of regulations, that could only be enforced by the infliction of a penalty. It was very different where such an accident had follo.ved, as in the present case. The culpability was great, and it was unquestionably greatly punishable. Mir, COCKBURN agreed with the Lord Advocate, that this WAS a right case to be brought to trial ; hut he thought that a British Jury sat to try, upon legal evi dence, the conduct of the men at the bar—not that it sat there to create a precedent—to condemn them for the sake of expediency. It is a mockery of justice to tell me (said Mr; Cockburn) that it is expedient, that it will make men more (*.lreful if you find these men guilty on other than strictly legal evidence. I pray you, therefore, thus prepared, to attend to this, that you must be satisfied, in the first place, that these men are guilty of criminal negligence. A man who reads in bed, and sets his house on fire, is negligent, but who would ever think of trying him for wilful fire raising ? I hope it is the law that no man can be liable crimi nally for more than his own misconduct. Ttiere are various men connected with a steam-boat, all of whom have different duties to perform; and would anybody say that the master was to be crimi nally liable, because, in a -moment of confusion, the steersman did not obey the orders given to him ? The first act ol negligence charged against them is, that they bad no light ; of this there is no doubt; but I would just ask this question,- is there evidence before Fnu that it is the invariable praitice in the River or the rith to carry lights? In point of fact we have proved that these are jail as many vessels sail with lights as without them. With regard to a good look-out being kept on board the Comet, he did not mean to shy that there was a man constantly in the bow ; but several witnesses have proved that the man who first announced the approach of the Ayr had been for hours on the same part the vessel; and Miss Munro says, that she saw h m a: the bow two minutes before ths vessels struck. But assuming that there was no light, that the master of the Comet was not on deck, that_ there was no 100k -out, still were these the causes of the accident ? They were not The Ayr was out of its course,but on nearing the Comet, the order to starboard its helm was correct and proper. The order, on the contrary, to the pilot of the Comet to " post your helm,' was the wrong one, and that order being obeyed, not the want of lights, brought the ves sels in contact. It is perfectly impossible for you after this to say, that the want of the proper lights or a good look out produced the cat +strophe. The Mas ter of the Ayr, whose credit I am entitled to try, and whose situation, Gentlemen, 1 say is not so en viable as that of those perished, has given evidence which no man in his senses can believe. - It is false, the Learned Gentleman said, it . is Jake, that he did not bear the cries from the Comet. It is false that he stopt for a moment.. It is false that he consi dered his vessel in the least danger. He remained !he fLd!.—his ears pierced with the cries, but his heart was not softened by the agonies of these dying men. He fled, and sived no . life. He made no attempt to save; a single drowning being, though there was time * hurnanepersons at Gourock to put off their boats, and rescue many. I never knew a human creature placed. in such a situation as this man. I repeat it, that com-, pared to him, I envy the fate of those that are no more. I will not disgust myself further, by talking further of him ; but I can say, that as a witness on this trial, one word that be has uttered, cannot be believed. Mr. COCKBURN concluded an ingenious and eloquent pleading, by calling tin the Jury to consider well the effect their verdict would have on the feelings of the friends of the survivors, and how much more desirable it would be [or them to continue to consider their be reavements the consequence of a dispensation of PRo- VIDBNCZ, which he believed them to be, rather than the rash and culpable negligence of an erring and unfortu nate man. The LORD ADVLCATZ observed, that he did not see anything in the address of his Learned Friend, which imperatively required an answer. The pannel had an undoubted right to advocate his case to a superior judi catory, if he was so advi4ed, but he (the Lord Advocate) in the performance of his duty, must insist upon a sen tence in conformity with the verdict. - It would be quite irregular to stop the procedure now, for the purpose of having the case tried anew. His Lordship then no. ticed what he considered a most unwarrantable•attack, made by Mr. Cockburn, upon the Jury, who had (only :discharged a painful but necessary and arduous duty —a duty they wire bound to perform. The Judge had also been addressed in a tone vet y unusual, but he trusted that the Court would exercise its discret on, and pass sdch a sentence as the circumstances of the case re quired. He did not wish for a severe sentence, but he expected one that would not only not throw ridicule upon the whole proceedings, but which would serve as a warning to others. Mr. CoCKBURN i in explanation, said several of his ar guments had been misapprehended. The Judge Admiral, in reference to what had fallen from the Counsel for the pannels, had only to observe, that so fat frets not- wiihing,the caseho be brought under review in a superior Court, nothing would be more gra tifying to his feelings. Bat that could only be done by suspension ; it was therefore essential that sentence should be pronounced, and the whole proceeding brought to a conclusion. The Learned Judge then proceeded to pass sentence upon Manes, ordaining him to be imprisoned in the jail of Greenock for three calendar months. He went over, at considerable length, the circumstances of the case, remarking upon the great danger to be appre hended from the careless navigating of rivers by steam boats. He trusted that the cause and result of that dayts conviction would be a warning to all masters and owners of steam-boats, to induce them to take every step in their power to prevent the occurrence of similar Misfortunes. He also said a few words to the pilot, M‘firlde, in dismissing him from the. bar, and ex pressed a-hope that he wctuld not. suffer in reputation from.any share he had in this calamitous event. .

FONTHILL ABBEY. We cannot but regret having to announce the demo lition, in great part, of this most magnificent fabric, which has been sn universally and deset veJly admired. On Wednesday afternoon, about half -rest three o'clock, the tower, which rose to the height of 270 feet from the centre of the building, fell with a most tremendous crash, breakieg through a great portion of the roof of the Abbey, and instantaneously presenting an immense mass of ruins. Most fortunately no lives were lost. The tower, it appears, was of too slight a construction ; and from certain indications, its fall bad been expected for sevetardays previoui to its actual occurrence. It declined in its descent a little to the south-west, and fell into the fountain court, destroy'ng the hall, the whole of the octagon; and great part of the galleries, north and south, t'gether a ith the first crimson roan, leaving the grand entrance standing, with the organ in it, and the statue of the late Alderman Beckford. Mr. Far quhar was in the large east wing of the building at the time of the disaster, and it is said that he was not much alarmed, as he had expected it. Seven Servants were also at the time engaged, by his orders, in taking •out the painted windows of St. Michael's gallery, and they all escaped unhurt: one servant boy, however, was considerably injured. A great quantity of plate is still* buried in the mass of ruins.—Salisbury Journal. DUNDEE, Deo. 22. We have this week toareand the murder of a wife by her litt•band. The husband'a name is David . Rigour, a mar iner, lately ip the service of the bandee and Perth Shipping Company. It appears that they had been married about the early age of siveen, and had lived together most happily for a number of years.— Some time afterwards he was impressed, and served on board a man of war for eleven years. Being at last discharged from the navy, he returned to his h inse, and lived with his wife for some time.; but her chastity had by this time become liable to suspicion. and' peace and happiness had fled the house. Balfour, who appears to have been sincerely attached to his wife, bore with her failings for a long time in hope of amendment; but she herself became tired. of the connexion, and wished to get rid of him. On his return from Greenock, on Monday last, she retthed to allow him to sleep with 'her, and &sired him to leave the house, otherwise she would send for the police. The poor man w.is com pelled to resort to an eating-heuse for his victuals Overwhelmed with grief and despair, be began to me 41iinste acts of violence. Yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, the father of his wife, in who.e house she lived, and a saddler of the name of Anderson, who lodged in the same Louse. heard, when in the adjoin;ng apartments, a loud shriek from the kitchen ; and, on rushing to the spot, they found the unhappy woman on her knees, with a large wound, inflicted by her hus band, in her left breast, from which a torrent of b'ood was flowing. She expired in about three minutes after wards. The instrument of death was a butcher's knire, which Balfour had recently borrowed, alleging that he wanted to kill a lamb with it. On committing the fatal act, he proceeded directly to the gaol, stated at the grating of the door that he had murdered a r.om .n, and wished to be put in confinement. The gaoler Eeing absent at the time, he waited about an hour at the dcor 'till he made his appearance. Not having any wart ant for his committal, the gaoler conducted him to the Police Office. He was immediately examined belo e Bailie Gray, and having again conftssed his crime, hie was commtted to prison to await his punishment. lie is about thirty-eight years of age, of a good appearance, and., so far as we have been able to learn, has hitherto borne a very good character. He appears to be deeply affected by his unhappy situation, but at the same time manifests a degree of firmness and composure that is truly remarkable. His mind seems quite made up to meet the fate which, he evidently contemplates as in evitable.—Dundee Vourier.
