No time ought to be lost in going about this business. At this season of the year the weather can not he depended on for a day, and one stormy night may dash her to pieces. " I have lived," says an informant, " at Gourock for t considerable number of years, and identify myself with the people, and am proud to say that to a man they have be haved in the most praiseworthy manner, active and zealous in the highest degree, toiling by day and watching by night." 1 he scene at Gourock on Saturday was distressing be- I frond measure. Relations were coming from all quarters in 'earth of their friends, many of them uncertain whether they were in the Comet, or coming by sane other oppor tunity. Others were not kept so long in suspense, but astir hopes were at once blasted by the awful spectacle of their Heists friends stretched out before them. Two pointer dogs swam ashore. They had lost their master. They lay down at the end of a house in Gourock. They refused all food, and could not be made to leave the spot. The Mister and those connected with the Ayr have pub lished.an explanation or defence of their conduct on this melancholy occasion. We insert it, but must state that we consider it a very lame one indeed. With regard to the cause of the accident, it appears that both parties were greatly to blame; the Comet, we must acknowledge, the robot. It is the subseluent proceedings of the Ayr to which blame, and serious blame, seems to attach. We , step far ftom wishing to judge of anyone in such a moment ;with hushount or severity; but the most ordinary presence of mind would have suggested to any one in the situation kof the Muter of the Ayr, that if the Ayr was in a sinking state, the proper course to take was, to hare got out her boats to save her own crew and passengers, and also all he could of those to whom he had left no succour, but such as he could afford ' • and, moreover, to have ten his vessel into Gourock, or a shore it that place, instead of running off to Greenock, near three miles distant, without once ase.. dearouring to raise the alarm, or let the inhabitants ef Gourock know what had taken place. This certainly was the course to pursue, and this Certainly was the course a seaman would have adopted, and which, in fact, two IMMO belonging to the Harmony, passengers on boutt the Ayr, attempted to do, by getting out her boat to ;relieve the crew and passengers of the Comet ; and who, hi thing this sensible and judicious act, had nearly lost thillhliwn lives, by the master of the Ayr putting the steam ggegekehe ves sel, and dragging the boat under water I• We do not, sod cannot fora moment sopa% that any one connected with the Avr did this from a cold-blooded disrefard of the lives of their fellow -creatures, in such an appalling and beast-rending scene as presented itself to their view ; but the. defence put forth raises our regret, and lays before oh the same of such catastrophes as that which we calleilltmcn to contemplate—the want of proper seaman ship and ignorance of nautical affairs, on board of the steam-boets, on this occasion. So great was the latter, that the helms of teeth ressels were put the wrong way! and dins the catistroplie was hurried on which might have been avoided. Had proper and experienced seamen been on board, this would not have taken place, and had such been on board either of the boats, and more especially of when - tatalstroket k effect, they would PRESS r.~:x prosecutor owed him, then, however culpable such conduct stie s be, yet still it did oat 4ubjecthilif 1404u1 indi4.01444 14 rei ouln that if the prisoner had gone of with the order or tbe sueittly,psid by Genera Conrad, there would have bloc no f rounill lqi the pos. lent prosecution, as it would only have Constituted a debt.

In the course of the afternoon sixteen of tile unhappy sufferers had been brought to shore, and were placed in the church, in order to be recognised by their anxious and distracted religions. A mother disco vend her son ; and two young lads found each a brother amongst the melancholy wrecks of humanity. I will not attempt to describe the emotions of grief which they ex hibited on meeting with those who parted so shortly from them in the fulness of life, and with the prospect of living many days. An awful cloud overcast every prospect ; and 1 well might one of the survivors say," that the shriek which arose when the vessel was sinking in the waters was still ringing in his ears." Many on shore heard it ; and it is only to be lam( nted that some boats were not earlier on the spot, to render assistance, and save, if possible, such a waste of hu-i man life. Yesterday morning brought ashore eleven dead bodies, and the nineteen of to-day make the whole thirty. I, with re •ny others, examined the countenances of almost all of them, and could hardly convince myself that death had stretched his sceptre over them. There was a mild sweetness peculiar to sleep on every face ; and a little in fant, about two years old, lay amongst the dead as if its mother was lulling it asleep. This uufortunatelunocent attracted universal sympathy. The were two young ladies, at a little distance, on whose cheek one would think the rose of health had not begun to fade; there was a slight tinge of red on their lips, but, alas! they were cold as sepulchral marble ; and the only indication of death which struck one at first sight, waa the loose and careless state of their head-dress, as if flying back with the wind. Rut why should I proceed farther in this mournful catalogue, for all sexes and ages were there, from the infant to the grey-beaded ; and in this awful catastro phe death made no respect of persons, the rich and the poor met together. Every attention has been paid to the dead in getting coffins speedily provided for there, and it is expected that the whole will be brought up this night to an aisle in the iVest Church of Greenock, to be buried, or to remain for a short time till they are claimed by relations. The port manteau of Mr. Rollo, W. S. Edinburgh, has been found, and it is thought he is among the number that is brought on shore to-day. It is impossible to leave this subject without noticing the praise-worthy attention of our excel lent Sheriff, Mr. Marshall, and Quintin Leitch, Esq. one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace, who have been on the spot late and early, and have arranged every thing under their own inspection. An inventory of all the pro perty found has been made out, and until such property is claimed, it has been lodged in the cellars belonging to the town. 'From the Glatros Chronicle of Tuesday.] By four o'clock last night, there were only three bodies, of those cast ashore, unclaimed. Yesterday, the weather will so boisterous that no boats were out dragging for empties. Fift7-four of the crew and passengers have been got alive and dead. Much praise is due to Mr. Sheriff Marshall :car his conduct. When the corpses wets bring mission. The Committee reputed,ll3at having taken the °pintoes or the City Law (Won, they were of opinion that the petitioner, as the lan of an alien, was not entitled to his freedom. Mr. JAMES opposed the Report, and said that, whatever= be the propriety of excluding Jews, the Court, t or it s own ought not to unction such an exclusion as wu now recommended.

Mr. TAYCOR condemned the Report, and said he hoped the Court would do away with the stains which such exclusions fixed upon them. Two Breathers of the Committee said, that the Cothmittee had been by no means actuated by any theological hatred against the young man, whom they had every desire to serve ; but their opinion was that, in point of law, he could not be admitted. Mr. Iluucomar expressed some doubt as to whether, even in point of law, the Committee were correct. He should wish to take the opinion of the Recorder.. Mr. Dix ow put some questions to the City Solicitor, which were inaudible below the bar; and alter some further diuttuion, the Report 1V3% referred back to the Committee, for them to amend, by stating at length the legal opinions on which they had acted. A Report was brought up from the Committee of General Put. poses relative to the present state of Hiackfriar's.bridge. The Re port stated that :11r. M•Adans had offered to keep the bridge in re. pair for the sum of 116/. per annum, for three years. exclusive of cleansing. He had, however, subsequently declined to enter into the contract, as circumstances bad occurred which had induced him to alter his determination. The Committee stated, that having taken the opinion of the City Surveyor, Mr. Montague. they were of opinion that the bridge should be raylved in the old manner. The probable expense would be UK per annum, inclusive of cleansing. A long discussion took place on thhillopor . t, and on the M`Adarn system, which. it was stated, had decidedly succeeded. Mr. Alderman Woon said, it was impossible fur the Court to think of going back to the old and barbarous mode of pavement, when that which Mr. had introduced was tumid so su perior in point of expense. durability, and convenience. As an amendment nn the Report, he moved that the sum of 6001. should be expended for the repair of the carriage-way of the bridge. The amendment was carried. NalinN AI. SC noot.s.—Yesterday the usual annual ex amination of the children educated at the Whitechapel branch of the National - Schools took place at the spacious school-room in Whitecbspel-road. Long before the hour for commencing the business of the day, the room was filled with a crowded assemblage of the more respectable part of the parishioners, whose early attendance manifested the lively interest they took in the welfare of the Society. A little after one o'clock, the Lord Bishop of London, at-' tended by Archdeacon Potts, Vicar of Kensington ; the Rev. Mr. Crosbie, Rector of Shoreditch ; the Rev.

Charks Shaw, a very ctable looking man, and keeper of livery stables in Barlow's-mews, Burton-street. was indicted for stealing, on the 12th of 31ay last, a mare, value 501. the property of Henry Tubbs. John Tubbs examined—l and my brother Henry went to the prisoner's stables with the mere in question, in order that he might sell her, but he wan inetrueted not to dispose of her for a less sum than 701. On the Sunday following I yaw the prisoner, when he told me he had sold the mare to General Conrad for 701., and that he had got an order on the General's agent fur the payment, which 'order he immediately showed to me. 1 then accompanied Lim to several places to get the order cashed, but it being Sunday we could not succeed. I asked him to give the older to me, but he refused, and asked if I suspected his honesty ? I then told him I must either have the order or the mare, to which the prisoner replied 1 should not either the one or the other, and that he would give my brother it good hiding into the bargain. I saw the horn delivered to the General's groom, at his own stables. On the following day I and my brother went to Charing cross, where we soon saw the prisoner drive by in his gip. We followed him, and saw him drive to the stables of General Conrad. I did not go in, but waited out side, and soon after I saw the prisoner ride quickly past me on the mare. I pursued him, but did not succeed in overtaking him. I did not see him from that time till the 23d of last month, when I saw hint at BrenttUrd. On his cross•examinftion, this witness said he would not swear that he did nut refuse to make some compensation to the prisoner for the sale of the horse. The prosecutor, and also a Mr. Hill, were examined, and corro borated the preceding testimony. Hill also stated that application was afterwards made to General C. respecting the money, who res fused to have anything to do w ith the affair, and gave instructions to his agent not to pay his order, and returned the mare to the pri *once, who gave up the order. Hill and the proaecutor were both present when the prisoner got back the mare from the General; and the prosecutor then demanded the mare as being his property, but the prisoner did not give her to him. On seeing the prisoner mount it the prosecutor laid hold of the brittle, and said fie would have back his mare. Hill said lie dared say the prisoner would give it back when he got to his own stables, and the prisoner then rode off at a smart trot. Neither of these witnesses saw the mare again for four months afterwards, when they found that the prisoner had sold it. The prosecutor had never since received any money for the mare. On cross-examination the prosecutor said, he received a letter about three weeks before the prisoner was apprehended. saying, that if he would send his address he should have the money for tile mare, but he never replied to the letter. The first witness was recalled, and said, that when the prisoner was apprehended, he off rte to pay for the mare by instalments. The prosecutor was also recalled, and said, that if any bargain were made between General Conrad and the prisoner, it had never been annulled by hint (the prosecutor) personally with the General. Hill, in continuation, stated that Ite told the prisoner, in the pre sence of the General, that lie (the prisoner) should not have back the mare; to which the prisoner replied, that he had *denten(' on .lr. Tubbs, and would not give h. r up until it was settled; and the witness then offered to settle it. When the prisoner rode of with the mere, the prosecutor laid hold of the bridle, and said he would have his property, and witness said, " Don't do so, Tubbs, for he has promised to meet us at his stables." The prisoner then rode off, but did not go to the stables. All the parties present might have stopped the mare in the General's yard, if they pleased. The officer who apprehended the prisoner said, that he asked him what he had done with the mare, to which the prisoner an swered, that he hail on account with Tubbs, anti believing that he would not act well towards him, he wished to pay himself. A witness was called en behalf of the prisoner, also said he had seen the prisoner at his mews after the transaction in question. He had alaays heard that the prisoner ben a good character. 31r. Justice PA Ili, in summing up the e% itlence said, the case was one full of difficulty, but that difficulty remained with the Jury. If they believed that when the prisoner rode off with the mare from General Conrad's stables, he Intended to approptiate her to himself, then that would constitute the felony ; hut, it they were of opinion that he &tattled lice under art impression that he had a right to do so, in order to defray himself :he money erhn.th the carpet ones being called, tux defence, only I. the ring on the 12th of July, and pledged it with some of my own, but I did not intend to defraud my mistreat of it. Several witteises spoke [0 the prisoner's character. The Jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner Cialty. Robert Nrrilots was indicted for stealing, on the Ist of this month, a pocket-book containing a 101. note and two sovereigns, io the dwelling-house of Rufus king,. Esq.. the Ambassador from • the United States, the property of It.ichardßoberte. Richard Roberts stated that he was butler to his Excellency the Ambassador. and that the prisoner, on the lid of this month, was footman in the family. On that day . witness lost a peeket-book, containing a 101. note and two sovereigns out of his box, which he kept in the butler's pantry. Having reeaon to suspect the prisoner ' of stealing it, he called is a watchman, and they both went to the • prisoner, who was then in bed, and he (witness) told him of his loss. The prisoner avid be knew not hing shout. it ; but the witness • not 'yenning this, desired the watchman to leave the room, and - then told the prisoner that if he Would produce the book and its contents, nothing should be said about it, upon which the prironer went into the kitchen, and took from behind to ironing board the book, and gave it to the witness fn the'presence of the cook, saying that lie had only taken it for a bit of nonsense, and meant to give it hint back again. The cook and the watchman corroborated the evidence of the prosecutor. The prisoner in his defence said, he relied upon the promise of the prosecutor fur forgiveness. Several wttnesses who had known the prisoner many years gave him a character for honesty and uprightness. The Jury found him Griiity, but recommended him to me m , en the ground of the excellent character that be hail received, and the presumption that it was his first °Vence. 31r.
