LOSS OF THE COMET. FROM THE GREENOCK ADVERTISER, OCT. 25. The precise circumstances of the disastrous c01.:,n . :, n o f the Comet and Ayr steam-vessels off Keppcch o n Friday morning, are differently stated ; at the only conclusion that can be come to is, that ref were too near one another to avert the danger, mess by a miracle. The vessels having struck, the tarboard bow of the Comet was stove in to such an stem that torrents of water rushed in and filled v e boat immediately. The rush from both cabins w ar be easily conceived, but not so the horror and (!!ipair which must have seized the assembled multi vice. The Comet went down by the bow, about a qs irter cla mile from the shore, in 20 fathoms of water. A Mr. Ewen M'Donald, from Fort Augustus, who was a steerage passenger, relates as follows :—When the y ow l struck, Captain M'lnnes was on the cabin deck, and called on the passengers to come aft, thinking t h e packet might right.—Great confusion ensued, the eas en gers forcing their way into the Comet's yawl , which 'was hung astern.—ln the hurry the tackling could not b e un loosed ; one of the ropes was cut shortly be fore the other.—There were from twenty to thirty people in the yawl, and in the small boat, at the time; Xl'Donald was one of them, and neatly the %bole were precipitated into the water.— Tiff other rope was cut almost at the sante moment the comet sunk. islillonald was thrown into the waver, l and upon getting to the surface he found no trace of the Comet. He observed the small boat floating bottom u p arils, and he and some others caught by it, and in ckqisequence of their struggling it righted, but was full et water. He and two others got into the yawl, and in about fifteen minutes they were !tailed, and towed to land by a boat which had pushed off from slime. Mr. Graham, of Coroach, a native of this town, was found under the Comeea boat. ... The poor woman who lost her child, but was prowl elitially sawed, says, when the Comet began to s'iak, every creature on board was instantly aware of th e i r siani,er. They shri:ked for mercy, imploring the Ayr to cme near, and save them. Tney seemed to listen; but before the Comet went down, the Ayr was put in nintinn in an opposite direction, and, in the language el this poor creature, she went off " faster than the n i ail.coatli: Regarding two ind:viduils, the public sympathy leas been pectiliady prominent, namely Captain Sutherland and his Lady. 'I be lat er was the beautiful and ac complished daughter of H. R. Del, Esq. of Muirtown, near Inverness, And niece of Mr. Forbes of Culloden, and had been only five weeks married. The ref rtu nate Lady. leis said, was seen to visit into her gallant husband's arms, and thus enclasped they sunk under the wave. _ GRECNOCIt, TUESDAY, OISE °Tux:. There have been six boats ilragging all day. At a quarter to I I &clad, Uptain Sutherland's body, and that of a soldier belonging to the 15th Regiment, were found. The body of the young man whose linens were marked C.B.S. has been claimed. His name is C 6211 Bailey Sutherland. Nu attempt has yet been made to raise the ri.ity:t, for which the relatives of the missing sufferer) are na tialliy very anxious, as they anticipate that there may be some of dim un hoard. NAVAL.

The Committee for General Purposes delivered in a report on the Petition of Mr. David Gill Saul, to be ad mitted to the freedom, and on the Petition of the In habitants of Aldgate against the same, stating they vete of opinion it would not be expedient to comply with Mr. Saul's Petition. A discussion took place on the report, and it was finally referred back to the Com mittee for reconsideration. r""Tglwon•• w.*:= FOREIGN WINE JOINT STOCK COMPANY. A Meeting of the Scripholders of the Imperial Foreign Wine Company, was yesterday held at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cornhill, convened by public advertisement. The GENTLEMAN who had inserted the advertisement, and who had made a statement a few days since at , the Mansion House (for which see Tuesday's STAR), I rose and stated the grounds of his dissatisfaction with the proceedings of the Company. He had bought 50 shares in the market. He held in his hand three pro spectuses, in all of which there was a difference in the list of the names of Directors. He had been to the house of one of the Directors, who had referred him to the Office of the Company ; on calling there, and seeing the Secretary, he had refused to give him the addresses of the Directors, or to give him any information re specting the proceedings of the Directors which he required, stating that he must make his inquiries in writing, svhen he would have an answer in a week.— Not meeting with the information he required, he had put the advertisement in the public papers, and had also applied to the LORD MAYOR. He had taken the opinion of Counsel on the subject, and he now' wished the Shareholders to come to a decision to dissolve the Company. A PROPRIETOR rose and stated, that he considered the conduct of this Gentleman as highly improper. That there were variations in the lists of the Directors first advertised was nothing remarkable. The last pro spectus, which was issued w hen the subscribers were in formed of the allotment of their shares, was the only prospectus with which the Proprietors had anything to do. If any subscriber was dissatisfied with the al terations in the list, he ought not to have paid up. Still less had any Gentleman a right to complain who had bought his Scrip in the market at a sub sequent time. If the Directors named in the last pro spectus, on the faith of whose name the money had beer paid, wire proceeding honourably, that was all that was necessary. No imputation whatever was even attempted to be cast upon them. That he should call at the private houses t f the Directors was nut regular, and the request made to him to meet them at the Board was a correct proceeding. The Secretary did right not to give him the addresses Irr the purpose of enabling' hint to go to their private houses; and in requesting to have the enquiries put in writing, and promising an answer after the next meeting of the Board, he did all which was proper in his situation, particularly as he' bad not the honour of knowing the Gentleman, or whether he was a bonajde holder. As to the concern, he (the speaker) considered it one most beneficial to the public. It would secure good wine to persons who could only buy, perhaps, a few dozens at a time. The plan uf having bottles of full quart and pint measures, with the Company's name cast in them, was praise. worthy, and the price was such as wine ought to be sold at, considering the now low duty. The wine trade, he was well informed, had more than doubled since the reduction of the duty, and he doubted not but this Company would be a check, and produce honourable conduct in the wine-merchants, and highly remunerate the share-holders. He understood the Globe Tavern, in Fleet-street was engaged ; that a stock of wines had been purchased ; arid, as the business would be avready money one, a small portion of the 501. of which each share consisted, would, he was sure, enable the Com pany to carry on a large and profitable trade. Another PftoattleTon stated, that he had an oppor tunity of knowing the proceedings of the Company. The greatest care had, he could assure his friends, been taken by the Directors in purchasing their wines, by employing sk Pul tasters, and themselves going down to the Docks to see t the purchrsesi They had laid in a ,stock of the best quality of lionsecca's putt wines at an unusually low rate; amongst others, Buon lteteiros, at ' the price of 401. per pipe. He then entered into some very long details, and appealed to a Gentleman present, who had been a wine met chant, whether their wines were not of the best quality, and at very low prices? The Gentleman, in reply, said he had notbios to object against the statement made. The wines, he admitted, were superior ; but he deprecated public companies interfering with private trade. Several other Proprietors followed, and stated that, although, from the advertisement, and from what had appeared in the pub lic papers on the subject, they bad come with an inclination to vote for the dissolution of the Company, yet they were satisfied with the explanation given. They should now moat willingly pay the future calls that might be made, as well as execute the deed when pre pared, and:confidently anticipated the most beneficial results to them selves and the public. Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed at the manner in which the Meeting had been convened; and after some further discussion, a Resolution was carried, to the following effect :—That this Meeting, from the information laid before them, see every reason to confide in the talents and integrity of the Di rectors, and in the success uf the Company. Letters from Majorca state, that an official decree by the King of Spain had reached that island, allowing the importation of 187,000 fanegas of wheat, and 31,500 of pulse, at a duty of 10 rs. vn. per fanega. The im pottation to be allowed in Spanish vessels only. It is reported that orders are issued to confine the habitations of the Jews (as was formerly the case) to certain divisions of all the cities in the State of the Church. This has caused various families to leave Fer rari, &c.—French Paper. By the arrival of the British ship, Cadit, at Gibraltar, letters have been received from Manila, to March 4, at which time no political change had taken place in the Government of the Philippine Islands. The Spanish frigates, Sabina and Paz, had arrived, these vessels having sailed for that destination, from Cadiz, in August and September, last year. he frigate Vittoria, having on board the new Governor, who left Cadiz last April, had not arrived at Manilla when the Cadit sailed. The Union, the other frigate belonging to the Phi lippine Islands' station, was out on a cruise. A sloop of war is about being ordered to the Western Coast cf Africa, to convey two Officers of Engineers for the inspection of the fortifications at Sierra Leone, Cape Coast, &c. The Commission being tempo. rary, the vessel will bring them home again. The son of General DOUGLAS, First Colonel Commandant of the Royal Artillery, who is Lieutenant-Colonel of the Engineers, appears to have had his orders to embark, of which mission he is President. Yesterday morning, between the hours of eleven and twelve, a sad accident occurred at No. 36, Green-street, Grosvenor-square. This house and the adjoining being ordered to be taken down, the workmen proceeded to do when unfortunately the timber and brick work gave way, and buried in the ruins several of the unfor tunate men before they had time tc escape. The utmost exertions were u ed to extricate them, when one man was brought out lifeless, and three so d sperately wounded, as to make it necessary to remove them to St. George's Hospital. M. TASSIN has arrived in PM is from NI adi id, charged, it is said, with new hist:tic:tuns relative to the Spanish Loan. BLACKFRIAIIS BRIDGE. The same Committee presented a Report, on recon sidering their former Report, in which they recom zr.ended the carriage-road of Blackfriars Bridge to be repaved as nearly as possible on the present surface, and on conferring with Mr. M'Adam as to the proposed arrangeme nt to keep the granite road there in repair for a term of years, in which they again submitted to the Court th e propriety of repaving the road. A motion being made to agree with the Report, a discussion ensued thereon, and Mr. Alderman WooD moved as an amendment, that a sum of 50131. be con tributed, out of the City's cash, towards putting the road in a good and proper condition, which was agreed to. The Bill for amending the Act of Common Council relative to NT-freemen, was read a third time and 'amid he Court passed the Watch Act for the year ensuing. The funeral of the late King of BAVARIA took place •n the 18th inbtant, and 64 son, the present Kum, was expected at Murich on the !allowing day. A letter horn Constantinople of the 24th ult. states, teat the fleet of the Captain PACHA had been entirely dispersed in the waters of Candta, but this news seem doubtful. .1 - ..~._ _., OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. Yesterday, J. Flooper was indicted for stealing a mi croscope and a set of surgical instruments, value 101. on the 19th of September, from Mr. Thomas Mayo, sur geon, of Berwick -street, Soho. The prisoner lived as ser vant with Mr. Mayo, and pledged the articles ; he after wards confessed the theft, and asked pardon, climes:4:g great contrition. He made no defence.—Guilty of the capital offence, but recommended to mercy on account of his former good character. John Edmunds was indicted for stealing a gelding, value 251. the property of Richard Webb, of Great Marlow, Bucks, on the 26th of August. It appeared that the prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Webb for a year and a half, as an odd man, but had never been employed to sell any horses for h:m. The horse had been sold to Mr. Stansotne, of Uxbridge, for 16/. and he sold it the same day to Mr. Hols, of Windsor, for 24/. The case was clearly proved. The prisoner called no witnesses to character.—Guitty. The prisoner was again indicted capitally for steal ing the same home. The evidence called to support the latter prosecution was decisive of the guilt of the prisoner. It appeared that Anus a month after the prosecutor had got the horse restored to him, the pri soner went again to the stables, and took it away •i second time. He brought the horse to London, and offered 03 sell it for 141. to a person named Harris, a livery stable-keeper in Mary-lr.bonne. Mr. Hlrti, suspecting the horse had been stolen, it being knocked up from hard riding, Le took the prisoner into custody, and sent a letter to Mr. Webb, informing him of the transaction. The prisoner subsequently confessed to Hands having twice stolen the same horse. The Jury again found the prisoner Guilty. —The prosecutor re commended him to mercy. Mr. Justice NKr sAid he would take a note of the teconintenda- tion. hut the case was of that ,erious nature, and the crime of horse stealing had become so prevalent, he was fearful the Executive would think it necessary, for the sake of example, that the law should be carried into effect. Robert Ikeadon, late footin kn to his Excellency Rufus King, Esq. the Ambassador from the United States of Anteiica, stood indicted for stealing, in his dwelling house,one 10/.Bank of England no:e,and two sovereigns, the property of Richard Roberts, the howler. The prosecutor stated, that on the lit of October he missed his pocket book out of his box, contain . ng a 101. note, and two sovereigns ; the prisoner had access to his apartment, and he accused him of having taken the property. He den'ed the fact, but afterwards, on the pros cutor making him a promise not to reveal the cir cumstance, he admitted having taken tha property, and produced it from behind an ironing board. A watch man took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he rel;ed upon the promise of the prosecutor for forgiveness, and he took the property out of joke. Witnesses were called to speak to the prisoner's character. The Jury, after a short deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty, but strongly recommended bins to mercy. on the ground of the very excellent character he had received, and on the presumption that this was his first offence. John !Win was charged with stealing from the per son of Francis Robertson, Esq. four notes of 10001. each, at the Auction Mart, in the City of London. Francis Robertson, Esq. stated, that in consequence of an estate (the Marquis of Ormond's) having been ad. vertised for. sale, he attended the Auction Mart. On his way he called on Mr. Marsden, of Princes-street, near the Bank, who paid over to him nine notes lor 10001. each, one for .5001. and one for 1001. which he put into his left-hand breeches pocket, and proceeded to the Mart. The estate having been knocked down LI him he took out his money to pay the dedosit, and handed over rive of the notes for 1090/. each, the note for 5001. and the note fur 1001. making up the re• [winder by a cheque. Shortly after the prosecutor was about to leave the room, but the crowd pressed him so much that be could not get his great-coat on, and he attempted to get towards tie other end of the room. No sooner had he reached a less crowded place than he found he had lost his property. He had no idea that he had hem robbed, and looked on the floor, under the idea that he must have dropped the notes. He imme diately made Mr. Thomas, the solicitor, acquainted with his loss, who ran over to the Bank to stop the notes. The witness then described his going to Fiance and learning sufficient to warrant him in returning to England, and securing the prisoner, as detailed in the evidence on the examination at the Mansion House. He could not, however, swear, that the prisoner was in the room at the time he lost his property ; in fact, he had never to his knowledge seen him before. Mr. Robins proved receiving the deposit as described by the prosecutor, but saw nothing of the prisoner. The Rxcrotora summed up the evidence to the Jury, who with out hesitation found the prisoner N 4 oak / . Joseph Impel, aged sixteen, was charged with steal ing, in the dwelling house of Alexander Millington. Esq. of Gower -street, a time-piece, value 3/. and up wards, his property. Guilty—Death. There was another indictment against the prisoner, but the Court declined going into it, as the ends of justice had already been obtained. _ _ -~..~ NEW COURT. Janus Taylor was found Guilty of stealing a silver watch, the property of John Rose. Robert Edward stood indicted for stealing two watches, on the night of the 29th of September last, the property of Mr. Essex, of the Strand, pawnbroker. Thomas Cox deposed—l am a shopman to Mr. Essex, who is a pawnbroker, residing in the &rand, sear to Temble•bar. On the night of the 29th of Sep- tember, about ten o'clock, a fire bloke out at the nest house to my master's. I called in the prisoner to assist me in minding the property, which was all in confu sion about the shop ; but whilst I was talking to the firemen, and at the same time holding one trf the tubes for them, I saw the prisoner take two watches from a drawer, and put them into his right-hand pocket. The prisoner was about going away, but I told the firemen not to allow him to go. The watches were two which were in pawn at my master's. By a Jurymen—Did you know the prisoner before? Witness—l had seen him before, and on such an occasion we were glad to employ any one whose face we had known before. He had never been employed by Mr. Esse:. Edwards, the constable, proved that he was called into the shop by the last witness, and told by him that the prisoner had taken something ; he searched him, and took the two watches from his pocket, and took him into custody. The property was here produced and identified. The prisoner, in his defence, denied any felonious in► tention; he was employed in removing some firearms and gunpowder, and in so doing the two watches fell front the drawer ; he only took them up, and put them into his pocket for the better securing them, ani not with any wish to appropriate them to his own use. , In answer to some que,tions from the Jury, the pro. secutnes shopman denied the watches fell from the .drawer ; he saw them taken [torn the top of the drawer " 7 T 741 " 4 " 141 .M 11 .1 1 ! by die prfrontr. Triers were st-hunitted "rushee no same drawer. He (the prisoner) . removed some gun powder, which was safe afterwards. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. • The Common Sasseartv asked if he was known? He was told that the prisoner had held situations as porter to Randal aid Bridges, and at Hamlets. The Commove SallitZAKT said, that it might have been a sudden temptation.—The prisoner was then removed from the bar. Charles 1 /unnpson was totind Guilty of stealing, on the morning of the 7th of August la,t, a watch, chain, and seals, a shirt pin, and a snuff box, from the per son of Joseph Birch. Charles rand, and Amy Watson stood indicted, the former for stealing, and the latter for receiving, know ing it to he stolen, a quantity of stout and ale in bottles, the property of Mr. Offf .y. who keeps the Burti , n Ale Rolm:, in Henrietta-street, Covent-g irden. The prisoners made no defence, but received good characters from several witnesses. The eoxmou SEILIZAIIT summed up, and the Jury found both prisoners Guilty, recommending the female prisoner to mercy, on account of her former good character. Sarah Ilattlock, for rubbing her lodgings of some articles of bed ding, and Joseph Smith, a servant, for stealing some wearing apparel, the property of his master, Mr. James Crawford, were both found Guilty.
