LISBON GAZETTES. LISBON, 0cT.10.--(OFFICIAL PART.) MIIPARTMINT OF THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. PUBLIC WORKS. in the tables extracted from the statement of the public expenditure, under the head of public works in the course of 1824, we see in the dearest manner the useful and judicious application of the sum of 523,359,513 reis expended on public - works in that Yeiic The sum of 308,372,928 reis was issued from the Royal Treasury, and '214,986,585 from the Public Treasury. This 'large sum was employed in the construction of 152 works, as well i-n Lisbon as in the several provinces of the Kingdom ; a great part of them being finished, and others being continued during the present year, in which 3,579 workmen are employed, who are paid weekly. We are sorry that the limits of a journal will not allow of the publication of the tables of this branch of the public expenditure, which is of so Much importance, as well on account of the public utility arising from it as of the employment of so many workmen, whose pay supports them and their families ; and is a great benefit to the other industrious classes, by causing a circulation of money in the provinces iu which those works are executed. All good Portuguese will not fail to feel the most lively gratitude to our august Monarch, who were in circumstances of difficulty delights in promoting the convenience and interest of his subjects, by allotting so large a sum to works of public utility ; such as the repair and building of bridges, making roads and canals, the improve ment of public edifices, the repair of the Royal Palaces, the continuation of the noble palace of Ajuda, and other useful objects, which it would be tedious to enumerate. Among these works, including 25 royal and military roads repaired, 20 bridges rebuilt or repaired, the restoration of the port of St. Martinho, and other public works completed or in progress, are evident proofs of hit Majesty's attention to objects so directly af fecting the public welfare, and his solici tttde to remove the difficulties which the want of good roads and bridges appears to the progress of agriculture and the internal trade of the king dom. LISBON, OCT. 15.—0 n the 11th instant, at noon, his Majesty gave a private audience in his Palace at Mafra to General Roger, Envoy Ex traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of Prussia, who presented to his Majesty the insignia of the Order of the Black Eagle, which his Sovereign sent to our King, together with the letter of his Prussian Majesty on the oc. casion. Yesterday, being the birthday of the Prince Royal, was observed in the city and at Court with the usual festivities.—(Lisbon Gazettes to the 16th Sept.) GERMAN AND BRUSSELS PAPERS. COIISTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 23.—N0 recent au thentic accounts have been received from the Mores since Ibrahim Pachals retreat to the coast ; at least none have been made public. The Egyptians, however, still maintain them selves in Tripolizza, anti expect the reinforcements which were embarked at Alexandria at the end of August. A few days 111111. I.J sun Lt., the ounun ; since mint LLLLL r; AlY k svir.u,s3 been spread that the Greeks had made proposals which Ibrahim Pacha himself declared to be acceptable, and, in concert with his father, advised the Sultan to accede to them, in order to put an end to all the intrigues of the Christian Powers, and not to expose the existence of the Ottoman empire to any far ther danger. It is, for many reasons, hardly credible that such advice should have been given, and still less, that the Sultan should adopt it, though the events in August might make him - disposed to it. But it would at least show, that the Viceroy of Egypt and Ibrahim Pacha had been gained over by certain councillors, for what is called the Moldavian plan, which would show the Porte and Christian Powers a way to extricate them selves from the labyrinth of the Greek insurrection, and which some diplomatic characters have had in view from the very be ginning of the war. It is probable that Colocotroni's party is no stranger to this plan, which is indicated by several facts that have been long known.. But in our opinion, there would be great difficulties, and we believe that without the energetic and unanimous intervention of the Christian Powers, Greece and the Ottoman empire are very far from a state of tran quillity. According to accounts from Smyrna of the 20th of Septem ber. that great city was desolated by a conflagration, which still continued at the time the couriers came away, and was said to have already destroyed 3000 houses. PazsnUßG, OCT. 17.—The palace inhabited by their Ma jesties and the Imperial Family, which was so lately the seat .of satisfaction and joy, is now convened into an abode of grief and. mourning. His Majesty received in the forenoon the me -lancholy news of the death of his august father-in-law. The effect which this sad event made on his Majesty is not to be described. He first communicated it to the Archduke Francis Charles; subsequently her Majesty the Empress and the Arch . duChess Sophia were made acquainted with this blow, which is so severe upon them in particular. Both Princesses have since been plunged in boundless grief, which is shared by their august consorts. It is said their Majesties will go to Sclalosshof. The first news of this event was received by his highness Prince hletternich, who immediately waited on the Emperor to inform him of it. A few hours later, a courier arrived from Vienna, sent by Prince Trautmannsdorf, with the . same news.--( Algcmcine Zeitung. Oct. 23.) FBANFORT, OCT. 22.—The Oriental Spectator of Sept. 14 contradicts all the statements that have hitherto been published of a general insurrection of the Greeks in the Isle of Candia. " By accounts from Candia of the 3d of September," says that Journal, " all that has taken place is as follows :—A rabble of 5 or GOO men, formed at Napoli di Romania, landed at Cara boussa, an inlet three quarters of a league from the coast of Candia, opposite Kissamo, which has been entirely laid waste since the insurrection. After landing on the islet, it was easy for them to take possession of a small fort garrisoned by a few Turks; but they have hitherto done nothing to accomplish their object. It was necessary to enter into a correspondence --with the inhabitants of the island, and induce them to revolt, bat all their endeavours have proved fruitless ; the Sphackiotes • have been deaf to all the fine promises of their vagabond coun trymen—have resisted all their perfidious suggestions, and, content with their present condition, have remained faithful to their Sovereign, as well as all the other Greeks of the island ; so that this band of adventurers have hitherto failed, and will probably be obliged to try their fortunes elsewhere, as the gyptian squadron may very likely return to the coast of Crete after it has concluded its operations, and restore order, as it has . done On other occasions." VIETINA, OCT. ls.—(From a Letter.)—The successive ac . counts transmitted by the maritime authorities at Trieste, re lative to the excesses committed by the Greeks towards the Im. perial flag, as well in the Archipelago as in the lonian seas, have strongly excited the attention of our Cabinet. It is at this mu went engaged in discussing the measures to be adopted by way of reprisal, and it is even believed that orders will be imme diately given to the Austrian ships of war to capture the Greek vessels which they meet with. On the other hand, it is affirm ed, that several Members of the Ministry are of opinion that negociations should be entered into upon this subject, under the mediations of one of the maritime powers, before recourse 11 had to an extremity, the result of which would be to place us in a state of war at Sea with the Greeks, whose marine is much superior to the Imperial navy, for nothing could hinder them from sending a squadron esituise off Trieste, which would do incalculable injury to Shirtsommerce of that city. It is observed that the Greeks have advocates among the most considerable persons in this ulio.justly blame the Captains of our mer. osmium violated their neutrality by taking cargoes ' es' board kb account. • firOCEiNthilif t OCT.—The awedish brig Christopher Co. lambus, WO* lailedisaityear on a voyage to Colombia, has returned, and this mercantile speculation ha proved yen' ad vantgeous. This is chiefly ascribed to the intervention of Count Adlercruitz, a Swede, who has been for several years a Colonel in the Colombian service, and is at present the chief of the corps of Engineers. For a long time a change in our Tariff of Customs has been spoken of, and it has been connected with an approaching con vocation of the Diet, but it is now asserted that there will be DO new tariff' this year, nor a convocation of the Diet. SCHAFFHAUSEN, Oc•r. 15.—We have given up all hopes of a change in the commercial relations between Switzerland and the kingdom of Sardinia, the Court of Turin having de clined entering into negociations on the subject. AUGSBURG, Oc•r. 20.—Our correspondent at Trieste sends us the following details The merchants.of the city are ex tremely alarmed by a report that has just been spread that the Greeks have captured nearly 20 Austrian vessels, for having attempted to act contrary to the decree of the Government of Greece, which declares the coasts of Southern Albania in a state of blockade." _ Recent news has been received from Missolonghi. The chiefs who command in that place have taken advantage of the raising the blockade by seas to reinforce the garrison. The troops which were scattered along the coast have been collected and embarked, and have arrived at llissolonghi. This addi tional force has enabled the Greeks to make several sallies, all of which have been successful; but the greatest advantage they hare gained is the destruction of the dyke, by means of which Redschid Paella hoped to three Missolonghi to capitulate. BRUSSELS, Oc.r. 26.—We have lately spoken of an affray at Utrecht, between the students and the civic guard. Some Belgic Journals, among which is the Antwerp Gazette, repro sent the affair as much more serious than we first stated. We shall refrain from copying the different statements, and wait for authentic accounts. It should seem, however, that it must have been serious, because it is affirmed that a member of the High Court of Justice at the Hague has been sent to the spot to direct the legal investigation. OcT. 28.—The unfortunate affair at Utrecht is now before the tribunals. The soldiers and the students complain of each other. The latter affirm that they are victims of acts of vio lence for which no sufficient reason can be given. - - From the LONDON GA.ZETTE,Oct. 29. DECLARATIONS OF INSOLVENCY. W.

LEERI, returned to Portsmouth on Friday evening from Quebec, after a fine passage of twenty-two days, having con veyed thither the Earl of DALHOUSIE and suite, who resumed his Government - of the Canadas on the 16th of Au„ . t. She has brought home his Excellency the Hon. Sir F. 1 ton, Lieutenant-Governor of Lower CapiztiLord Ar.thut enno Mrs., Captain, and Miss Mountain, the fariiily of the late Lord Bishop of Quebec. The settlements of Upper and Lower Canada were in the most prosperous condition ; trade was never so brisk ; upwards of 750 ships having quitted Quebec this season. Nearly one hundred sail of merchant shipping had been already launched, which had caused such a dearth of seamen, that 151. per month wages formed the current price, and it was expected that it would soon increase to 20/.—Ten ships were loading with corn for England, but it was not ex pected there would be great exports of this article, as the pre sent crop, though it was all saved, was considered rather a light one; and the new Colonial Act, which levies a duty of 1.5 per cent. on all imports, would prevent the Canadians from importing American Wheat, in lieu of their own crops, which, if this new duty had not been imposed, they would have done, and „sent their own produce to this country.—Th e R omne y, Captain Lockyer, was daily expected at Quebec, with the 79th Regiment from Cork, to embark the 37th Regiment for England : the 68th Regiment had gone to Upper Canada to take the duty of the 37th Regiment. The Niemen, Captain Wallis, left Quebec on the 29th of August for Pictou and Ha lifax.—(Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 29.—The Rainbow, 28, Hon. Capt. Rout', for the Cape of Good Hope, and the Cyrene, 18, Captain Alexander Campbell, for the coast of Africa, will shortly sail from this port—General Bourke, appointed to command the Eastern Division of the Cape of Good Hope, takes his passage in the former ship ; Colonel Douglas and Captain, Royal En gineers appointed to examine into the state of th e f or ts o n th e Coast Of Africa, in the latter. On Wednesday the Fly, 18, Capt. WTetherall, went out of Harbour, fitted for a foreign station. She is expected to sail on Tuesday with dispatches for the Cape of Good Hope and the East Indies. Remain at Spithead—Piranha, Herald, Fly. In the Har. hour—Victory, Ganges, Warspite, Volage, Icarus, Mastiff. Calliope; Magnificent, convalescent ship, for Jamaica; Royal Oak, for Bermuda. The transports Layton, Lieut. Lovitt, and Southworth, Lieut. Sanders, will embark the remainder of the 90th Regi ment on Monday, for the Mauritius, and sail on the following day. It is expected they will bring home the 56th Regiment. The Duchess of York transport, Lieut. Green, is ordered to take detachments and recruits from Albany Barracks to the Leeward Islands in the West Indies. Major-General Main_ warren, appointed Governor of the island of St. Lucie, takes his passage by her. l'he Hibernia, 100, and Ajax, 74, having been taken out of Dock, the Nelson, 120, Queen Charlotte, 100, and Bulwark, 74, were this morning taken into the large Basin Ducks for thorough repair ; the Bason will again be cleared of water and cleansed out, the masonry work repaired, and new gates will be erected instead of those which were lately so lamentably burst open. The Princess Charlotte, 120, has been taken into the South Dock, to be coppercd. The Americans are building twelve corvettes of between six and seven hundred tons burden, which are to mount twenty two 42-gounder carronades, and four long 24-pounder guns each. We learn by a letter from Rio Janeiro, August 17, that the officers and crews of his Majesty's ships Spartiate and Welles ley, have exchanged ships, the former ship having been found unfit to remain on active service. Kear-Admiral Graham Ham mond, C. 11., may be daily expected to raturn to England from Rio Janeiro in the Spartiate. The Diamond, 4(1, Captain Lord Napier, arrived at Rio Janeiro on the 15th of August, from England. The Tartar, 42, Captain T. Brown, was daily ex pected there from round Cape Horn, on her way to England. The Packet was to leave Rio for England on the 21st August. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. POST-OFFICE CASE. On Saturday William Henry Austin, a young man of re spectable appearance, was indicted for stealing a bank-note, value 51., the property of Charles Gardener, which had come into his possession by virtue of his office as a letter sorter, at the General Post-office. There was another indictment against him for stealing another 5/. note, the property of John Pike. ..:Ptitfttetet/MVSACtiglii ; "_andMr. IrrOdeill:ktCle Mr. Sheppard op e n e d . the . case. -The Attorney-General ad dressed the Jury for the prosecution. The prisoner had been employed in the General Post-office as a letter -sorter. Ile need scarcely inform them that stealing money from letters was by law declared to be a capital felony. He then stated the case for the prosecution, after which he called the following wit nesses 51r. C. Gardener said he was a traveller in the employ of Mr. Pike, a hop-merchant at Oxford. On the 7th of July he put the note in question, with others, in a letter, and sealed them up, and put the letter into the Post-office at Wimbourn, about five o'clock. He paid a penny because the box was closed. Joseph Bedford, a messenger at the Post-office, delivered the letters on the Bth of July from the table letter F to their respective divisions. Mr. 'l'. 13rydges, a letter -sorter, said he made up the Ox ford bag on the Bth of July, and it was sealed by the mes senger. H. Tolley, the messenger, said that he sealed the Oxford bag on the above night. Cross-examined—Strangers are not allowed to come into the office to see the clerks. J. F. Bicknell, postmaster at Oxford, received the London bag on the morning of the 9th of July ; the seal was unbroken. Mr. John Pike, hop merchant at Oxford, examined—Did not receive a letter on the 9th of July, containing a remittance from his traveller at \Vimbourn. Mr. R. Watts is President of the Inlan-office ; on the even ing of the Bth July, the prisoner was senior clerk at the Man chester Division. Charles Wallace said, he had known the prisoner since 1811 ; he met him at Holton shortly befbre the 9th of July ; had not seen the prisoner before for a considerable time. Ile asked wit ness how he was going on, to which he replied, but middling ; he then said he had an opportunity occasionally of putting some thing in his way, and took witness's address, No. 3, Bermond sey New-road, and they then parted ; he called on witness on the morning of the 4th of July, and requested he would go for him to the city, to get change for a few notes; it was about 10 .o'clock in the morning ; he gave witness three 51. country notes, and told him to get sovereigns for them at the banker's where they were payable in the city, and to meet him afterwards on Southwark-bridge ; witness went to the banks of Stevenson and Co., and Fry and Co., where lie got change for the notes ; he met the prisoner afterwards, and gave him the money ; they then walked to Cornhill together, when the prisoner asked hint to purchase 101. worth of French money at Thomas's bullion-office, and then to go to Clerken well to fetch his watch from a watch-maker, and meet him with the watch and the French money at Guildhall. Witness went to Thomas's, and asked fur the French money, for which he produced two 51. Bank of England notes, which he had received front the prisoner. One of the notes was objected to, on which he went and changed it at the Bank, and wrote his name and address on it; then went back to Thomas's, and procured the French money. Afterwards went for the watch, but could not obtain it; met the prisoner at Guildhall, and de livered the French money to him ; told him he had been at the Bank to change one of the five pound notes, as it had been objected to by Mr. Thomas ; he asked if witness had put his address to it, he told him he had ; he appeared to be flurried ; witness said he could not be too candid with such a public body as the Bank of England, and that it was probable he would hear no more of it ; he gave witness a so vereign, and they parted, the prisoner saying he was going out of town ; he met him a few days after, when he asked if wit ness had heard any thing more about the note, to which he re plied in the negative. He then said if you do, let me know immediately ; you will find me every day, at four o'clock, at the Weavers' Arms, Kingsland-road. Witness afterwards re ceived a letter from Mr. Freeling, Secretary to the Post-office,_ respecting the note, desiring he would call on him. Went to the prisoner immediately, and told him of it. Prisoner said he did not wish his name to appear, as there had been several em bezzlements in the Post-office lately. Witness was taken into custody a few days after; told the officer he had an appointment to meet the prisoner on Waterloo-bridge. Gardner, a Bow-street officer, proved that he apprehended the prisoner, and on searching him, found one gold Napoleon, a silver five franc piece, and a franc.—This closed the case for the prosecution. The prisoner declined saying any thing in his defence.-- Several respectable witnesses then gave the prisoner an excel lent character for honesty, &c. The Learned Judge (Mr. Justice PAttm) then summed •up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of—Guilty— Deatk• LOSS OF THE COMET. (From the " Claws , Courier" of Saturday, received this morning./ Public anxiety and sympathy still continue to be directed to the sad accident which befel the Comet steam vessel, and the fate of the unfortunate passenger and crew who NA were,on board at the time. of the strophes, nteke espe cially as there is the strongest g u n 'eve that the' num berOf victim * t•bas been underrated. ince our last the under mentioned bodies have been found. . - Wednesday Afternoon.—Duncan 111 1 Kenzie, fireman of the Comet, immediately recognized and claimed by his wife and father. A girl, apparently about 10 or- 11 years of age, unknown, but supposed to be Grace AP Kenzie, niece of the young woman Rose, found on Saturday, and whom it is believed she was accompanying from the north. A stout young woman, unknown ; had on a brown born bazeen gown, coarse grey worsted stockings, and shoes tied with white tape, supposed to have come in at Ohan, and then to have had on a black bonnet and two black feathers. Thursday, Oct. 27.—The body of a man with fustian jacket and trowsers and black vest, was found ; he is supposed, from certain certificates found in a pocket book on his person, to be either Lewis or Donald M`Kay, a son of George M‘Kay, be_ longing to the parish of Duthil ; Peter Sutherland, the car penter of the Comet, says he is Donald M‘Kay, by trade a smith, and that he was on his way from Invergordon to Glas gow to seek employment ; and this ac - count is by no means im probable, from the coincidence of a smith's leather apron being among the articles washed on shore the day of the accident. A man named Munro. An elegant scarf, which is, with much probability, supposed to have belonged to the unfortunate Mrs. Sutherland, was brought up by the drag on Thursday, and from the weight which continued for some time to be attached to the drag, there is reason to believe that her body was also attached to it ; but, geting disentangled from the scarf, the corpse again sunk to the bottom. It is to be hoped that it will be immediately come at. Lord Fife, much to his honour, has, we learn, ex pressed the utmost anxiety for the recovery of the body of this amiable lady, and communicated his wish that no expence may be spared to accomplish this object. The fate of Captain Sutherland and his lady (married about five weeks, instead of five days, as we were at first informed) has excited the utmost commiseration. Their recent mar riage—the youth, the beauty, and the accomplishment of the lady, and that her husband was a brave and gallant officer in the service of his country—these—all these things, as they became more generally known, raised and spread an interest and a sympathy for their character and their fate, as deep and extensive as it is honourable to the pub_ lie mind. Every particular, therefore, concerning them will be received with deep attention. We stated, in our paper of Saturday last, that Mrs. Sutherland for some time clung round Mr. Alexander Anderson, while he was struggling in the waves to save himself. This account was communicated to us at a late hour on Friday evening by a gentleman of this city, the brother-in-law of Mr. Anderson, who obliging ly waited upon us immediately after the arrival at his house of Mr. Anderson from Greenock, with all the particulars he could learn from his relative, in his then enfeebled and agitated state. The account we gave, was, lie states, the impression left on his mind, from what Mr. Anderson said with regard to Mrs. S.— Upoa more particular inquiry made at him on the subsequent clay, however, we learn, that the following is the correct ac count of what took place during the last moments that Mr. Anderson saw the unfortunate pair. He heard the engine man call out to steer towards the shore. Almost at the same mo ment the engine was stopped, from the water rushing in from the bow. The bow of the Comet was sinking—the passengers were rushing in a crowd to the boat astern. Mr. Anderson, who was an excellent swimmer,• and calculated upon that re source in the last extremity, stood on. deck holding by a rope. At this moment he was seized round the arm, near the shoul der, with a convulsive grasp by a person behind him, lamenting their fate. In his perilous situation he endeavoured to shake the individual off, exclaiming, " let me go !" when turning round to disentangle himself, he perceived that the person who had seized hold of him was Mrs. Sutherland. His heart smote him at the sight, and he immediately apologised to her in the kindest manner for having accosted her soroughly,being ignorant ' who it was thathad addressed him. At thatrnament he perceived ci4int_ Sitthhethanit int a littltt di.t anr p, in the act Or LlM...wing off s cloak or coat, to prepare himself, as he conceived, for swimming. In the mean time, without letting go his hold of the rope, and wishing to render Mrs. Sutherland all the assist ance in his power, he gave her a stron g s h ove fo r w ar d i n th e direction of the boat astern, as the only place of safety. Mr. Sutherland must have immediately joined her, as Mr. Rankine assures us one of the crew told him that he saw them leap to gether into the sea from the starboard quarter, as the Comet finally sunk. What took place aftewards, however, Mr. An derson cannot tell, as he was almost immediately compelled to turn his attention to think of his own safety by finding the water above the deck where his:feet stood. He, however, kept his hold till the water reached his middle, when a wave rolling over the Comet carried him off. his feet. He then betook him self to swimming, when a second wave threw his great-coat, which he had retained, over his head and almost suffocated him. He,fhowever, succeeded in getting it thrown hack, when he perceived that he was swimming from the shore instead of towards it. In the latter direction he turned, when he was soon afterwards laid old of by the engineman of the Comet, and reached the shore as we formerly mentioned. Captain Sutherland's body remains here still uninterred.— Upon reconsideration it was judged proper to delay the funeral in the hope that the body of his Lady might be found, so that as both had perished together, both might be buried together. Lord Fyfe, also, and some friends from the North have, we hear, signified their wish to be present on the melancholy occasion. An elegant coffin stands ready at Greenock to receive the remains of Mrs. Sutherland the moment that the same may be found. As the last bodies found are rapidly approaching to a state of putrefaction —so rapidly that it is difficult for their friends to recognize them, it is highly desireable that the Comet should be got raised. This is likely to be carried into effect without delay, as our River Superintendent, with all the necessary ap paratus and assistance, left this at an early hour yesterday morn ing for the purpose. During the whole of yesterday the weather was exceedingly mild and favourable, and by this time the Comet has probably been - raised, and the extent of the loss by this melancholy event been ascertained. Courier Office, Friday Evening.—No more of the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers in the Comet had been found at a late hour this forenoon. Men were still actively employed dragging. The most active operations were going forward in order to raise the vessel ; and our informant says, he is confident that she is by this time in chains, and is expected to be got up by Sun-' day. Part of the pump of the engine was brought up by the drag this morning, which shews that the machinery must have been broken, and also how dreadful the fatal stroke from the Ayr must have been. Courier offieejciday Evening, 9 r.M.—The body of Mrs. Sutherland WWI found about two o'clock this afternoon. [From the Edinburgh Courant of Saturday.] Since the account of the escape of Miss Munro from the wreck of the Comet, which appeared in our last, our reporter has had an interview with that young lady, and received from her the following details of her providential escape :—She states that she was standing near the funnel of' the Comet, talking with Mr. ArKenzie of Edinburgh, who, on the near approach of the Ayr, asked her if she would like to see that vessel. While walking towards the how for that purpose, the dread ful collision took place. , From where she stood she was among the first who fell into the sea, to which she, in a great measure, attributes her preservation, as the greatest part of the passengers were crowded aft imploring aid from the crew of the Ayr ; consequently, by tumbling in heaps upon one another, they accelerated their own destruction. Miss M. sunk thrice, and on coining up the last time much exhausted, she caught fast hold round the neck of a large black dog. The animal swam towards the shore, dragging her along with him, until they came in contact with two spars of Wood, which she eagerly caught hold of', and buoyed herself up till relieved by the pilot-boat, as formerly noticed. It is not a little remark able that when repeatedly driven back from the shore by the reAux of the waves, the dog never left her side, but invariably turned back, and accompanied her, and when she was landed, ' followed her into the house, when he remained at the foot of her bed until the mist ress of the house locked him in a cellar, from whence lie made his escape next morning, to the young lady's great regret. She mentions as her principal associates on the voyage, Miss Al'lntosh of Campbleton, Inverness-shire, on her way to visit her friends in Glasgow; Mr. C. Rose and his sis ter, accompanied by a little girl called Catherine, all belonging to Glasgow, on their return from a visit of six weeks, to some relations in Inverness; and Mr. Mackenzie of Edinburgh, for. merly mentioned. They were all lost. One woman had five children with her, three boys and two girls, who with the mother were lik ew i se d rowned. At the time of the accident, the four youngest children were fast asleep below in the steerage.
