Pewsbio was immediately sunk. The evening was a toler-
ably clear one, although it had been somewhat rainy, aid

other at the distance of six miles. A moderate tweeze
prevailed end the water wee rough. The course
of the Pewsbio wee on the side toward the shore, and
that of the Meteor on the opposite tack, by which they
would steer clear of each other. The movement, of each
steamer were plainly obeerved by the mew es well as passen-
gers upon the other, sod the fact of their coming together

of some one. When Captaie McKay saw that a collision
appeared inevitable, be blew hie whistle as a signal to the
other boat to keep out of the wee, which signal, so far as Or
known, wee sot responded to. He then ordered his wheal
to be put to starboard, which would teed to put bar out of

all we can gather, it is reedered probable that the wheels-

or by mistake of some kind, put his wheel to perk instead
of the contrary direction, which he ought to hove taken.

right angles, under the pilot house, opening her to the width
of twelve or fifteen feet, end cutting her dorm to the
water's edge. There wen probably at least 150 persons oar
board, including the crew, sod ometernation and dismay at
once fell like palsy upon hearts which only a few brief mo-
menta before mesh:ivied with mirth lied glialnees. The
scene was one which baggers description, but was soon over.

detected there, while he was looking for the Moro of
Biela's :—" At 8.7 p.m. I noticed • comet low down in

naked eye, sad about twice the topmost size of Jupiter.
Through a small telescope it exhibited a bright luminosity.

oval, and there was no nucleus; at 8.20 p.m. a conspicuous
object. At 8.14 p.m. a second very similar comet was de-
tected some 3 deg. below this, and to the west. It was
rather longer than oval, somewhat leas than the first, sod
without any nucleus or dark portico. Both comets were
watched for half an boar, noted the sky became overcast.
The night wee exceedingly unfavourable. Should these ob-
jects prove to be the two bodies known as Biela's comet,

Booed of Trade isqulry into the loss of the Glasgow was re-
sumed yesterday, when the statement of Captain Banning
was taken. Be said that he bad beam in the Inman service
about three years, and had been appointed master in July,
1861. The cargo wee stowed by stevedores. under the
superintendence of the officers of the ship. The ship was
well toned, sod io good condition. Witness had inspected
the cotton in the steerage after the ship sailed. It was
built up with rolls of leather, outside which were tiers of
boxes. From the outside of the boxes to the cotton the dis-
tance was about six feet. He described the means adopted
for extinguishing the Sr., end said that everything that it
was possible to do had been dove to stye the ship. With
reference to the saving of the passengers, he spoke very
highly of the conduct of the captain of the It solute. who,
be said, threw overboard fifty or sixty tons of coal to se-
commodate the people from the Glergow. There was
plenty of hoes on board. Captain Harris observed
that there was no doubt that the loss of the ship
had been sensed by an widest ; but the result
showed that it was very injudicious to carry oottes io the
steerage. In this come it had no doubt led to the destnor
lion of the vessel. Lights bad beep takes amongst the
cotter' cookery to the company's regulations. It was stated
by Mr. Bardswell, solicitor for the °weer, that the vessel
was insured for 15,000!., but that the freight and passage
money were uninsured. He believed the vessel was worth
about 25,0001. The Glasgow was, he believed, the fourth
ocean-going iron ewe, steamer ever built, sad *es of the
oldest is existence. The assessors stated that they would
foward their report to the Board of Trade. The captain's
certificate was then returned to him.
