The officer of the Coast Guard, Lieut. George Davies, obtained the loan of a boat for the purpose of attempt ing a rescue of the crew, then seen clinging to the rigging. He was dissuaded by the most experienced seamen surrounding him. He, owever, leaped into the boat, and, hailing the .crowd, gain the voluntary .assistanceof four seamen, They had made so way towards the wreck, when, the boat, nearly swamping, wads driven back on the . shore.

They . re-embarked, when, after difficulties and dangers easily imagined, they . succeeded in saving the only one of the craw, then remaining. The other six had become victims of the storm : they had ; died long before the wave arrived which con signed them to the deep.

ADMIRALTY COURII; 29. Tin BODDINGTON.---JUDGMENT. This was a case of great interest to the shipping and mercantile claeses, and counsel having been heard on last court clap, Sin C. Icon counsel gave judgment to-day. Ile said, this was a ques tion relative to a charge of interest on insurance on bottomry bond. The Boddington fell into great danger in leaving Calcutta river, and was compelled to return for repairs. The master borrowed a sum of £2318 on a bottomry bond, but it appeared from the accounts that in this snip was Included £B6 for insurance. The court had no informa tion wl* had effeeted this'insurance, and, though it was the practice in some cases formercha.nts to be their own insurers, it was not the custom to place every charge for insurance on a bottomry bond. The master of the vessel had agreed with Messrs. M'lntosh, of Caleutta, for the advance of money at twelve and a half percent. per annum, on Lottornry, and it was contended that the charge for insurance could be upheld, as it grew incidentally out of the transaction. The registrar of merchants had disallowed the claim as irregular,and unusual, apd the court was now prayed to allow this charge. He (Sir C. Robinson) had slot been able to find any case of this kind, although, in 1813, a charge somewhat similar was made and disallowed. The absence of precedent was not favourable to the claim. The premium charged on the bond was moderate ; as, however, it was contrary to the practice of merchants to make such a charge for insurance, great inconvenience would be produced by any alteration in the rules of the court. The essential principles oflaottoinry would not be upheld if this claim was allowed. Maritime interest could only be allowed on the ground of maritime risk: Insurance -did not, in this case, partake of the charac ter of maritime risk. It would be a violation of the great principle of bottomry to allow such a charge, and he thought he could not with safety alter the report of the registrar of merchants. In reply to an application for the charges, Sir C. ROBINSO:q said, that as a great principle had been involved, he shoUld allow general expenses. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS,' Monday, Nov. 26. MELLISII v. RAwpoN AND OTHERS.---This was a que. Con of great importance to the mercantile world, and excited great snisation in the city. The judgment was pronounced by the LORD CHIEF JUSTIOE. He observed that a rule had been obtained by the defendants, which called upon the plaintiff to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, upon the ground of misdirection by the judge upon the trial of the cause. in consequence of which the jury found a verdh.t for the plaintiff. The law laid down to the jury appeared to be suhstantially this---that they were to determine upon the evidence before them as to whether there had been unreasonable delay upon the part of the plaintiff, the holder, of a bill of exchange; in sending it forward for ac ceptance, or putting it into circulation ; and, in order to arrive at a proper determination of that question, the jury were told that they were to take into consideration the interests not only of the drawer, but also the interests of the holder ; and they were to say, under all the circumstances, was the delay in.this case, which amounted to four months and twenty days, an unreasonable delay or not? That must he taken as the substance of the judge's direction to the jury. The defendants, in argument, contended that it was wrong so to have put it to the jury, and that the proper way was, whether they thought due diligence 'had been used by the holder of the bill in sending it forward for acceptance, or putting it into circulation. •With reference to the drawer, it was urged, in the course of the armament, that by the law of merchants it was the duty of the holder to put the bill into circula tion, or, if he retained it, he should have sent it forward for accept ance by the first packet that sailed to Rio Janeiro after it came into his hands, or, at all events, by the second. There was no evidence in the case of a general unvarying course with respect to foreign bills payable at a given time after sight to he pursued by the holder when he kept them in his own hands. Had there been proof of such gene ral usage it would have put an end to all doubt, and the time for for warding a bill of acceptance would have been ascertained. The only question then would have been as to whether the bill had been sent forward within the specified time or not. But there was no such evi dence of such usage ; on the contrary, there was a great deal of con flicting evidence of the judgment and opinion of merchants on the point, and a great diversity of opinion prevailed. Again, there was no definite time prescribed by the laws of England when such presenting for acceptance should necessarily have taken place. Upon the whole, the Court were of opinion that the jury were properly directed to give judgment upon the question as to whether the bill was sent forward or circulated within a reasonable thne ; in doing so; they took into con sideration the interests of both parties, and they decided that the time was reasonable ; therefore the Court were of opinion that the rule for a new trial should be discharged.---Rule discharged.

' DIFFICULTY OF PRESERVING SECRECY.—III the Court of Chancery, on Saturday last, Mr. BtinGE said he was instructed to apply to his Lordship to appoint an early day for hearing a petition in a case- of :great delicacy and importance. It was a petition for a Commission of Review in a suit that had been heard before .the _High Court of Delegates, for a divorce on very singular groinrifi, 'He had also to request that hiS Lord ship would have tire kindness to hear the petition in his private roam.-1 he. LOAD .CHANCELLOR said he had strong objections to hear cases in private, and asked what reason there was for this request?—Mr. IluaGE said the petition was consented to by both parties. The detailS were of a nature which would outrage public decency and public morals. He therefore hoped his Lordship-wouli g grant the application.—The LORD CHAN- CiILLOR7-71Will apillrint an early day to hear the petition, but I will consider whether or not I, should hear it in private. If there are two parties to a• • cause, it is impossible to preserve privacy; the facts are sure - to escape. I Well remember - an ob servation of the late Chief Baron `Thompson , when a request was made to him to hear a case in private ; he replied, " It is of no use; I have not a lock in my house strong enough to keep in evidence where two parties are interested."—Mr. BURGE continuing to press his application, his LORDSHIP asked who were the .Judges included in the Commission of the Court of Delegates ?—tl.r. BuRHE named*Mr. Justice Littledale, and, we think, Mr. Justice Alderson.—The LORD CHANCELLOR said he WOUld speak to. them on the subject, and communicate with the Counsel. STRUGGLE BETWEEN AN EAGLE AND A SALYON.—"That eagles are extremely destructive to fish, and particularly so to safruoa, many circumstances would prove. Eagles are con stantly discovered watching the fords in the spawning season, and are seen4o seize and carry off the fish. Some years since, a herdsman, ok a very sultry day in July, while looking for a missing sheep,7observed an eagle posted - on a bank that over hung a pool. Presently tby bud stooped, and seized a salmon, and a violent stiuggle ensued: when the herdsman reached.the spot, he found the eagle pulled under water by the strength of the -fish, and the calmness of the day, joined to drenched plum age, rendered him unable-to extricate himself. With a stone the. peasant; broke. the eagle's -pinion, and actually securest the spoiler and his victim, for he found the salmon dying in -his grasp. When shooting on Lord Sligo's -mountains, near the Killerics, Lheard many particulars of the eagle's habits and history .from a Vey-hailed peasant who had passed a long life in these wilds. The scarcity of hares, which were here once abundant, he attributed to tae _rapacity of those birds; and he affirmed, that when in pursuit . of these -animals, •the ' eagles evinced a degree of intelligence that appeared extraordinary. They coursed the hares, he said, with' great judgment and cer tain success; one .bird was the active follower; while the other remained in reserve, at the distance of forty or fifty yards. If the hare, by a sudden turn, freed himself from his most pressing enemy, the. second bird instantly took up the chase, and thus prevented the victim from having a moment's respite. He had remarked the eagles.also while they were engaged in fishing. They .chose a small ford upon the rivulet which connects Glen cullen with Glandullagh, and, posted on either side, waited pa tiently for the salmon. to.pass over. 'Their watch was never fruitless, and many a salmon, in- its _transit from the sea to the lake, was transferred. from its native element to the wild aerie in the Alpine cliff that beetles-over the romantic water of Glen callen."—Wild Sports of the West. - -.. ... _ . SUCCESSFUL IsMow!' a v.- Vrx LLIAM KILBURN was; born in • Capel-street, Dublin, Ist November, 17413. He was the only son of Samuel Kilburn, an architect of some eminence, and very early exibited a taste for drawing. This, and the wish to have him in the country, as his health appeared delicate, induced his 'parents to place him apprentice with Mr. Jonathan Sisson, an Englishman, who had established a calico prin..ing factory at teixlip. ,Here he quickly learned the different branches of .this ingenious art, but attached himself to drawing; and engraving. Few lives are more marked than his with un ceasing industry and application ; in summer he rose at four, and occupied his leisure hours in drawing patterns fur paper stainers, which, with his master's leave, he sold ; the produce gave him pocket money, and enabled him to purchase a pony.; on which he rods to Dublin on Saturdays, and passed every : Sunday with hik parents. He had acquired an amazing readi ness with his pencil, so that if a new pattern caught his.eye, he would take out his pocket-book, and have it fur his master at his return. At the expiration of his apprenticeship, he found himself alone, with his mother and sister. His father, who had speculated largely in building, became embarrassed in his circumstances, and died. This probably determined Wm to visit I ondon, the great mart for talent ; here he obtained a ready sale for bit designs arrongst the calico printers. He also drew and engraved flowers from . nature for the print.shops ; this led to his acquaintance with Mr. William Curtis. the. botanist, who, deeming himself fortunate in meetir g an artist of such uncommon talent, agreed with him to execute the plates for his great work,. the FLORA LO N Div E Rms. When he had' entered into this engagement, he returned to Ireland, brought over his mother and sister, took a small house in Bermondsey. with a garden and green-hoes?, and there occupied himself from sunrise to sunset in drawing and engraving the plants for that work, which. reflects so much credit on English science.—When he had finished, lie accepted a proposal from Mr. .Newton, to under ke; the management of a calico printing factory, at Wallin t .c , for which he was to share the profits without ;linad vancing c pital. They were so successful that, at the ' end of seven years, he purchased the concern, and became sole pro prietor. He now rose rapidly in wealth, and was soon the most eminent calico printer in England, having brought the art to a pitch of perfeciou never since equalled. Be gave the highest wages to his workmen, some of whom came from the continent, and gave annual premiums for the best designs. His pieces of Muslin chintzes sold for a guinea per yard, and he had the honour of presenting one of them, the sea-weed pattern, designed by himself, to her Majesty Queen Charlotte. Finding that his patterns were pirated in Manchester, he applied for a bill, which was brought into Parliament by his countryman and neighbour, the Right Hon.' Edmund Burke. " To secure to calico printers the copyright in the, original designs." Mr. Kilburn married the, eldest daughter of Thomas Brown, Esq., an East India Director, a most amiable woman, who survies him, - and by whom he. had several children. In the relative duties of sun and brother, husband and father, his conduct was most exemplary, as a true believing Christian moral man. Though he had been a delicate child, he enjoyed excellent health, till dthin a few months before his death, when feeling indisposed repaired to Brighton, and not getting better he returned to Wallington, and calmly resigned his soul to his Maker, 23rd December, 1818, in the 73rd year of his age. The poor inhabitants of the neighbourhood, by whom he was much lamented, followed him. bareheaded to the grave. Mr. Kilburn was above six feet in height, thin, but well proportion ed, and perfectly straight to the last. The pencil, in his long fingers, appeared scarcely to touch the paper when drawing, so much had he acquired of grace and freedom. The flowers that he- engraved about the time he became acquainted with Mr. Curtis, are now sought for by connoissuers, being so 'true to -nature ; and I have before me his engraving of a dead car i ary .on a marble slab, which, even in this advanced stage of the arts, would rival many of the bijoux that adorn our modern annuals. Being most domestic in his habits, and col;stantly occupied, he never was able to visit Ireland after he had settled at Wallington ; but every Irishman that was intro duced, found an hospi'able reception at his table. He prided in his country; of which he may be jus.ly said to have been an • ef, nan-'.30..---Dtthrin'Pern 7 ty Ja urn a!, ElaTkz. On the 27th ult., at Culeheth Hall, in this county, the Lady of Thos.

PEDSETRIANISM AMONG THE ALPS.--Clle should be in Switzerland to have the full value of those useful lower 'aims Which Nature has provided for.our locomotion. Britian, is for pn Englishman, is being too mumach dt ; 'France, gene rally Speaking, too flat and urivaried—Germany, too dull and too phlegmatic—Holland, too swampy and too low ; Maly; 'too warm and malariiNs, for the height of rambling en. joyment. - It is only in Switierland that we have, within the compass of a day's march, all the varieties of climate from :Iceland to Scicily—of scenery, from Madeira to Nova Zembla, of people, of language, of dress, manners, customs, and com plexions. In such' a country one may, indeed, enjoy pedes trianizing in perfection. There is something inspiring -iv free in the swinging gait of a pedestrian among the Alps. Attired ; in his bleusse and tap, tufa accoutred with his pole, knapsack, and their subordinate paraphernalia of telescope, spirit flask, &c., he presents s fine picture of animation, brushing oh, en route, at sunrise—yigour in his step, and his spirits elate and buoyant- as- the mountain air which contributes to ha vivacity. He traverses an ever-varying range of valley, forest, heath, snow, and glacier—now pausing to admire the landscape, and now to converse with a group of pt asants; or to study the geological or botanical features of the scene. He spends the heat of the day at an auberge, or perhaps` some lonely chalet in his track, enjoys at a refreshing siesta for two or three hours, and sets out again to pursue his walk. As he passes into the vallies tosiards the close of the day, a descending sun is reflected from the polished surface of some lovely expanse of lake, and gilds a rich prospect of mountain, wood, and dell, with the exquisite mellow shades of evening, placidly harmo nizing with the traveller's own subduded feelings ; while, befoie he reaches the village inn, which is to shelter him for the night, the moon smiles " brighter and more bright" over a dark blue chain of mountains on the one hand, and the) other the " snow-clad summits of the hoary . Alps," in the dis tance, are radiant with that carmine glow imparted to them by the setting sun.—Aurora Borealis, TO \CORRESPONDENTS. We feel obliged by the communication of FIDELIS, ; but, at the pre sent moment, we fear his letter will fail to interest our readers. A COTTON Bitox i pt's address to William Brown, Brig., is of too per sonal a nature for publication. We decline inserting the letter of AN ELECTOR, as we know the re port to which he alludes to be incorrect. We are, however, obliged by his communication. ANTI-LIBERAL, and X., are in type, and will be givep in our next. The influx of Communlcatioas at too late an hour fur our present pub lication is ruly overwhelming. We feel highly gratified by the eagerness of our friends to furnish us with thei r con t r ib u ti ons, an d assure thosAvhose favours we omit to particularize, that it is only from a desire to bestow upon them that attention in the perusal which we feel to be their due.

We beg to assure them, that our best endeavours shall be wed for the prevention of any further cause for complaint on that score, by the employment of other carriers, upon whom we can more safely depend. .DIED.
