WRECK OF THE OGLE CASTLE.

A general opinion was entertained that, from the cir-
cumstance of no surgeon being on board the Ogle Castle
there would be no passengers. The persons who expected
relatives from that quarter have, however, had their feel-
ings painfully awakened from this mistake, as the accounts
received yesterday from St. Margaret's (near Ramsgate).
state that six females were distinctly seen to be swept off
the poop at one time. _ _ _

A.letier has been received from a naval officer, dated
Deal, Nov. 6 :

" It is reported to-day that 17 of the crew of the un-
fortunate ship Ogle Castle were taken of the floating
wreck by a French fishing boat, and have since arrived at
Calais."

A box, marked No. 3, has been washed on shore from
the wreck of the Ogle Castle. On being opened, it was
found to contain letters from Bombay, which have been
forwarded to town. We have seen one, dated the 25th of
J ne. It relates exclusively to private business.

THE COMET STEAM BOAT.—Every thing WU in a state
of preparation to raise this unfortunate vessel, anti the
weather being mild and favourable, it was confidently an-
ticipated that she would have been got up yesterday. As
they were proceeding, however, to carry the necessary
operations into effect, about 11 o'clock, forenoon, being
then ebb tide, one of the chains slipped so much that the
work was unavoidably suspended, and could not be resumed
till the next ebb tide, last night about 11 o'clock, when it
was expected the Comet would have been got up. No
more bodies were found at the date of our latest accounts,
nor have any particulars of interest, regarding any of the
unfortunate sufferers, transpired since Thursday .—Glasgotr
Courier of Sat urila.it.

Captain W. E. Sutherland, who lately perished in the
Comet, was (as all his acquaintances know) an excellent
swimmer. A aold4r who served with him in America
says he was Se Fat in the 93d Regiment, and that he
has seen him swim as far as from Inverness to Kessock :
yet this noble fellow scorned to avail himself of this great
advantage, and remained clasped in his lady's arms till
both sunk to rise no more.—lnrernerr Courier.

SIIIPIVRECK.—On Friday sennight, at noon, the sloop
John and Jessey, of Stornoway, went on shore over a long
reef of rocks, near Holy Island, called the l'arten Steel.
A six-oared galley went round to render assistance, but
from the heavy sea which was running, little could be
done. One spirited individual, with four intrepid fellows
belonging to the Mermaid, revenue-cutter, after being
driven hack several times, at length got two men and a lad
out of the rigging; but on reaching the beach one was found
to be dead. It appears she came from Liverpool, laden
with slates, bound for Leith, and bad called at Longliope,
embarked a family, consisting of a young governess, three
girls, and one boy, who, with the master (en old man), have
met a watery grave. Some small trunks which have come
on shore, -ontain a great many old letters, with the address
of James Robertson, Esq. Collector of Customs, Stern-
away. Every vestige of the sloop has disappeared.—
Liv,•rpnol Mercrry.
DARING Ptcorocarrs.—On Sunday evening, about six
o'clock, as a gentleman was proceeding through the Strand, he was
followed by a gang of pickpockets, who succeeded in getting his
silk handkerchief half way out of his pocket ; but a young man.
who was passing at the time, saw what the fellows were about, and
immediately informad the gentleman, which dithered their inten-
tions, and they roved off, but it appears did not lose sight of the
informant, who had not proceeded far, when he was saluted with a
severe blow on the side of the temple, from one of the gang, and,
on looking round to sae who the assailant was, he received a second
in the stomach, by &amber of the party. and before the young man
could recover his speech the daring vulaimi bad escaped.
