HAYMARKET THEATR,:".

When we saw Mr. Vining on Saturday, we suspected he
was a melodramatic actor—it turns out he is. His per-
formance of Rolla was not calculated to raise him in our esti-
mation.
.Truth to say, it was a poor representation of a poor
character. The tragedy was throughout cast and got up
in a very inefficient manner, and we apprehend its tepeti-
tion will not be found calculated to promote the interests
of the theatre. Mrs. Glover played the part of Elvira, for
which she is not well qualified by nature or study. Her
daWghter undertook that of Cora, and was somewhat more
successful. Of the remaining perrorinera we prefer saying
nothing, as we have nothing favourable to say. The house
WAS a perfect desert.

Mr. Secretary Canning, on Friday evening, returned
hither, and, with four horses from tile Star Inn, proceeded
for Seaford ; but on his way to that place near to RodneLd
his carriage came in contact with the gig of Mr. Waite, a
London traveller, by which accident both shafts of Mr.
Waite's vehicle were broken, but without upsetting it, or
inflicting any personal injury on Mr. Waite, who, on ar-
riving here, demanded of the postmaster the reparation of
the gig ; but he, alleging that the fault did not rest with
the driver, refuted complying. Mr. Waite then waited
upon Mr. Canning at Seaford, whose conduct on the occa-
sion was most gentlemanly. Ile amply satisfied Mr. Waite
for his journey from hence, and gave him a letter to the
postmaster, width has probably settled the matter —Lewes
Journal.

Mr. Stratford Canning, Ambassador from his Majesty to
the Ottoman Porte, arrived at Calais, on Friday,. on his
way to Constantinople.
OLYMPIC THEATRE.—Last night a new ballet of action,
called Philip Quart and his Monkey, was produced at this
theatre. The piece has been well got up, and reflects
some credit on the manager's taste. Mr. S. H. Chapman
sustained the part of Qua?l, a character well suited to
his pantomimic talents. Braufidelle, his favourite monkey,
was represented by the German youth, about twelve years
of age, who, considering that this was his first attempt on
the stage, played his tricks with tolerable effect. Mr.
Hartland performed Abdulhilt, the Moorish pirate, very
cleverly. At the fall of the curtain the piece was an-
nounced for repetition with the general approbation of a
crowded audience.

The Drury-lane Management have been in treaty with
Mr. Sapio, but that gentleman declines the terms they
propose.
A new Comedy is in preparation at Covent-garden,
from the pen of Mr. Hyde, author of the tragedy of Al-
phonl./S.
Miss Stephens has been equally successful at Edinburgh
as at Manchester ; and Braham has been even more popular
in Dublin during his present engagement than on any
former occasion: This seems quite the age of song,
especially in the provinces.
Monsieur Mazurice is arrived in London from Paris,
and will make his first appearance in this country in a few
days at Covent-garden Theatre. The part of Pclichinel,
which first made his reputation on the Continent, will be
the character in which he will make his debut.

D'Arboville, the celebrated French singer, who from a
complaint in his throat (an enlargement of the tonsils), has
absented himstif for the last three years from the boards,
has, we understand, lately submitted to an operation which
has been attended with complete success. His voice is en-
tirely restored, and he is said to be about to reassume his
situation.

SALIMIURY Cnnos.—lt gratifies us extremely to learn
that the demolition of these crags has attracted the Lord
Provost's attention ; and that his Lordship has resolved to
use all his personal and official influence to atop the work
of destruct ion.—Scatnion.

Cousr KY Hsu' s.—The stoppage of the Bank of Messrs.
Harvey and Son, Launceston, in consequence of the severe
run upon it, occasioned by the failure of the Kingabridge
Bank, and that of Messrs. Shiell and Johns, Devonport,
has not been productive of the severe distress which fol-
lowed the failures last mentioned. The confidence of the
inhabitants of Launceston in the perfect solvency of Messrs.
Harvey continues unabated, sad their notes are freely taken
in payment by all the tradesmen of that place, under the
full persuasion that the suspension of payment will be but
temporary and of short duration. This, though a consider-
able relief to the farmers and others who held the notes of
Messrs. Harvey, is by no means sctisfactory to persons who
having taken alarm by the reports of the disastrous effects
produced by the failure of Messrs. Shiell and Co. are in-.
duced to purchase goods of which they do nct stand in
need, in order to get hold of something tangible for the dis-
credited paper, and who are, in many eases, thereby sub-
jected to various inconveniences.—Wcst Briton.

—if you want to find people who can earn their bread by
the sweat of their brow, you must certainly not seek them
among the tribe. They abhor all kinds of work
which are eittraborious or require application ; and had
rather suffer hunger anti nakedness, than exert themselves
to procure food and rahnent on such hard terms. They
therefore either choose some trade, which is easily carried
on, allowing them many idle hours, or addict themselves to
unlawful courses, m any body may easily be convince&
The gipeics of our time do not like to undertake heavy
weak; I do not find they go beyond a pair of light horse-
shoes: in general they confine themselves to small articles,
pia ss rings, jews-harps, smell nails, mend old pots and
kettles, make knives, seals, needles, and sometimes work
trifles in tin or bras.
'I heir materials, tools, apparatus, all ate bad, and of the
most inferior kind. Their common way is, to coileet small
pieces of rusty iron, old nails, broken horse-shoes, and such
kinds of rubbish, which they fuse and shape to their pur-
. The anvil is a atone, the other implements are a
pair of hand bellows, a pair of pincers, a hammer, a vice,
and a file ; these are the materials a nomadic gipsy carries
with him from place to place. Whenever he has a mind
to work, he is at no loss for fuel ; on his arrival at a sta-
tion, where he means to remain a few days or weeks, he
takes his beast, loads him with wood, builds a small kiln,
and manufactures his own coals. In good weather, the
work is carried on out of doors • when it is stormy, or the
lire too powerful, he retires under his tent. lie does not
stand, but sits down on the ground, cross-legged to his
work ; which position is rendered necessary, not
only by custom, but the quality of his tools. The
1044 m by to week she bellows, is which operation,
she IS sometimes relieved by the elder children ; the little
ones sit naked as they wee* born, round the fire. They
are generally praised for their dexterity and quickness, not-
withstanding the wretched tools they have to operate with.
When suy piece of work requires much time to finish,
they are apt to lose their patience, and, in that case, be-
come indifferent whether it be well-executed or not. They
never think of labour, as long as they have got a dry crust,
or any thing else to satisfy their hutiger. They frequently
have orders for different articles, but, if not, as men as a
few nail, or some other trifles are manufactured, man,
woman, and children dislodge to carry their merchandise,
front house to bousc,for sale, in the neighbouring villages
their traffiek is carried on sometimes fur ready money,
sometimes by barter for eatables or other necessaries.
-Another branch of commerce much followed by the
gipsies is lwrse-dealing. In those parts of flueoattv
where die climate is se mild, that horses may lie out all
the year, the gipsiee avail themselves of this circumstance
to breath, as well as deal in berm; by which ihey some-
times not only procure a competency, but grow rich. This
last sort are sot very numerous, for the greatest number of
*hero only deal in blind wprn out jades, which tlsev drive
about to different markets, to sell or barter. Mien not
fortunate enough to find a chap for them, they lead them
to the collar-maker, who values the hide, and takes him
Off their battds fbr a few groscherts. In order to avoid
being reduced to this necessity, they often practise the
slyest Melt to conceal the animal's defects. In Spain,
therefore, Gitano and Gitantrio (Gipsy and Gipseism)
are grown into common expreseionb, to imply a cheater in
horses with the tricks he makes use of. In the year 1747,
they became so notorious in Swept's, that it was taken
into consideration at the diet, and their totel expulsion
voted to be a necessary measure.
To the above two trades, commonly followed by the
men, may be added, that some are carpenters or turners;
the farmer make 'watering troughs and chests, the latter
turn trenchers, dishes, make spoons and other household
furniture, which they hawk shout. Others make sieves,
or maintain themselves by cobbling shoes. Many of these,
as well as the blacksmiths and wliiteamiths, find constant
employment its the houses of the better sort of people,
for *hal they work the year round. They are not paid
in areriq; but, besides other advantages, find a certain
subsistence. Those who are not thus provided for, do not
wait at home for customers, but throw their implements

cities or villages. When any one calls, they throw down
the bundle, and prepare the appiratus for work, before the
door of their employer.
The gipsies have a flaed aversion to agriculture, and had
rather suffer hunger or want, than follow the plough, to
earn a dtcent livelihood from the grateful earth. But as
there is no general role without an exception, so besides
the slaves to the Bojars, in. Moldavia and lValischia, who
are constraiucd to apply to it, There are some in Hungary,
who do it of their own accord. Since the year 1788, the
F.rrpress Tutors.% has commanded that the Hungarian
and Tranailvanian gipsies should be instructed in hus-
bandry, but these orders have been very little attended to.
At this time there ate so few of them farmers, in this caun-
try, that they are not worth mentioning. though in Spain,
and other European countries, they are still more scarce,
as it would be difficult to find one who had ever made a
furrow in his life.

It was formerly very common in Hungary, and in Tran-
silvaaia, almost universally the custom, to employ the
gipsies for hangmen and erecutioners. They still perform
the business offloyert in Hungary, and of executioners in
differer.t parts of Tranailvania. Their assiduity in tor-
luring, their cruel invention in tormenting, are described
by 'forest its to be so shocking, as plainly proves no
people so well cultivated for works of bstbarity as the gip-
ties. Flaying is not their regular profession in any place,
but merely a casual occupation, which they follow, over
and above their smith's or other work. Whenever a beast
diek near where they chance to b-, it is a fortunate circuits-
Eine:, if there happens to be no skinner in the place ; not
because they can make much of the skin, which they
always leave with the owner fora trifling consideration,
but they are awe thereby to procure a plentiful provision
of flesh for the family.
Such are the men's employments. I shall now proceed
to the women, and show their particular methods of getting
their bread. It was formerly, and still is the custom,
among the wandering gipsies, especially in winter, that
the man does not maintain the wife, but the wife the
husband. Where this is not quite the case, as in summer,
when the men have the before recited occupations, or
among those, who have a regular settlement, yet the
women always endeavour to contribute their share towards
the maintenance of the family. Dancing is another means
they have of getting something, they generally practise
this when begging, particularly from men in the streets, or
calling in at houses asking charity. Their dances are the
most disgusting that can be conceived, always ending with
fulsome grimaces, or the most lascivious attitudes and
gestures, uncovering those parts, which the rudest and
most uncultivated people carefully conceal ; nor is this in-
decency confined to the married women only, but is rather
more practised by young girls, travelling with their fathers,
who are also musicians, and for a trifling acknowledgvnent.
exhibit their dexterity to any body, who is pleased with
these unseemly deuces. They are trained up to this im-
pudence from their earliest years, never suffering a pas-
senger to pass their parents' hut, without trying to get some-
thing, by frisking about naked before him.
I shill not Ray any thing concerning jertuae-telling,
thwhich they impose on people's credulity, in every
and corner of Europe, this being a thing univer-
liown. ' it is extraordinary, that women, gene-
.'o not till they becOme old hags, should be so sharp-
:o, as to discover, in every person's hand, the dark
iy of futurity. A few instances there are of men
thus gifted, but they are so few, that they arc only
Sons to a general rule. It is therefore owing to the
'rumen alone that faith in divination still temains
minds of millions of people. It is true, Europe is
iginally beholden to the gipries for it, it being deep
in the stupidity of the middle aes, when they
.11 and brought it with them also. this science was
by brought to a greater degree of perfection shin
is them, rules were invented to tell lies from the M-
ion of the hand, whereas these poor wretches were
led mere bunglers. During the last, and beginning
is century they ware looked upon as only a supernu-
rY party' as there were men of great learning, who
sly read lectures in college, on the divine art ehiro-
y, but wrote many Irtoks, vilifying the Gipsies, and
,touring to spoil their market by exposing their igno-

ranee. But these enlightened men are no more, their
"knowledge is deposited in the dead archives of literature ;
and probably, if there were no Gipsies, with them would
also have died the belief in chiromancy, in the same man-
ner as, in astrology, necromancy, and the other offsprings
iof fame . By these alone will this deceit be kept alive, till
if constrained to acknowledge some country.
riliellh some ostensible mode of gaining a livelihood.
,We can only pity the poor deluded wretches, who pay their
money for a few unmeaning words; as if it were possible for
people to instruct us concerning our future fortunes in life,
Who are ignorant of their own; being unable to determine
*tether a (ley or two hence they may still be telling fortunes,
ge taken up by the magistrates, and hanged for theft.
I must add to the chiromantic deception of the Gipsy
women, that they also, but not exclusive of the men, cure
bewitched cattle, discover thefts, and possess nostrums of
various kinds, to which they aseribe great virtues. These
nostrums consist principally of roots, and amulets made of
unfermented dough, marked with strange figures, and dried
Io the air. Gatastest says, in the Banat of Temeswar,
they sell certain small stones, chiefly a kind of scoria,
which they say possess the quality to render the wearer
fortunate in love, play, and other things. Were that true,
they are the nearest, why deliver to another what they
have so much occasion for themselves ? Why do they beg
i and eteal, when, with the assistance of these stones, they
might honourably acquire riches and good fortune? Yet
I these stones ale purchased not only in the Banat, but in
GERMANY. People use their quack medicines, call the
Gipsy women into the stable, to exorcise their bewitched
cattle, without suspecting any t-ick, although the whole is
founded on deceit. So the open-hearted farmer in Seem.'
and BAVARIA has recourse to the Gipsies on many war
sions, making ore of them as doctors for math and bent;
and constantly, in cases of enchantment, dies to Me Gipry.
This circumstance happens• ofteneet among those of the
common people, who rail moat against. witches and witch-
craft. 'Whenever a cow does not feed kindly, something is
immediately suspected, and Me Gipery woman is called,
who is often so successful as to remove the complaint. She
goes into the stable, orders the cow to be shown to her, re-
mains a few minutes alone with it, after every one else is
gone out: having finished her operations, she calls in the
master, acquaints him with the beast's recovery. and beheld
it eats heartily. Bow happens this ? Was it not a piece
of enchantment, wherein the Gipsy really acted the magi-
ciao? Certainly not. The fraud is this: When the cattle
are feeding abroad, the Gipsy woman takes advantage of
the keepeti absence to entice some of them with a handful
of fodder to follow her; then smears them over the nose
and mouth with some nastiness she has ready to the other
hand. From that moment the creature !oaths all kinds of
food or drink, as evtry thing smells of the nastiness. When
she is called in to apply a remedy, the whole skill required is
to wipe orke stsypsie had put on a day or two bcfbre. By
this means the true smell is restored, and the cow being hun-
gry, it is no wonder she should fall to greedily. From this
single instance, a judgment may be formed of other cases.
These are the customary transactions and occupations
of Gipsies in the different counties and sratesof Europe.
People must not imagine that their smiths shops are con-
tinually resounding with the hammer, or that those of
other professions are so attentive to their callihgs, to
provide even a daily subsistence, not to think of a comfort-
ble maintenance. Their laziness, on the contrary, makes
. . _ ..

reduced to the greatest distress; l'

men remain in their huts, sending the women abroad to

very scientific manner, and commonly carry with
them a couple of children, miserably exposed to the
cola and frost; one of these is led in the hand,
the other tied in a cloth to the woman's back, in order
to excite compassion in well disposed people. They also
tell fortunes, and impose on the credulous with amulets.
Beiides all this, they seldom return to their husbands
without some pilfered booty. Many writers confine the
thefts of Gipsies to small matters, and will not allow that
they are ever guilty of violence. This is not only denied
by the testimony of others, but absolutely contradicted by
some recent instances. Occasionally we have more than
one proof that they make no scruple to murder a traveller,
or plunder cities and villages.—Grellmann'a Dirsertatiox on
the Gipsies, translatedfrom the German.

THE SHIPWRECK.
But list ! a low and moaning sound
At distance heard, like a spirit's song,
And now it reigns above, around,
As if it call'd the ship along.
The mow is sunk ; and a clouded grey
Declares that her course is run,
And likes god who brings the day,
Up mounts the &Home sun.
Soon as his light has waved the seas,
From the parting cloud fresh blows the breeze ;
And that is the spirit whose well.known song
Makes the vessel to sail in joy along,
No fears hails she; her giant form
O'er wrathful surge, through blackening storm,
Majestically eaten, would go
'Mid the deep darkness, white as snow !
Bet gently now the small ways glide
Luke playful lambs o'er a mountain's side.
So stately her bearing, so proud her array.
The main she will traverae tie ever and aye.
Mar; ports will exult at the gleam of her mast !
Hush, hush, thou vain dreamer ! this hour is hey last.
Oh ! tinny a dream was in the ship
An hour before her death ;
And sights of borne with sighs disturii'd
The sleenris long-drawn breath.
Instead or the murmur of the sea
The tia:lor heard the humming tree
Alive through all its leaves,
The hum of die spreading sycamore
That grows before his cottage-door,
And the swallow's song in the eaves.
Ills arms enclosed a blooming boy,
Who listen'd with tear of sorrow and joy
To the dangers his father had pass'd ;
And his wife—by turns she wept and smiled,
As she tooled on the father of her child
Returs'd to her heart at last.
—He wakes at the vessel's sudden roll,
And the rush of watery is in his soul.
Astounded. the reeling deck he paces,
Mid hurrying forms and ghastly laces;—
The whole ship's crew are there.
Wailings around and overhead,
Brave spirits stupefied or dead,
And madness and despair.
Leave not the wreck, thou crud boat,
While yet 'tis thine to save.
And angel-hands will bid the float
Uninjured o'er the wave,
Though whirlpools yawn across thy way,
And storms, impatient for their prey,
Around thee fiercely rave !
Vain all the prayers of pleading eyes,
Of outcry loud, and humble sighs,
Hands clasp'd, or wi'Ally tosi'd on high
Despair and resignation vain !
Away like a strong-wing'd bird she flies,
That heeds not human MiUTIC.,
And far off in the sunshine diaa
Like a watt of the tentless main.
How quiet the once noisy crowd !
The sails now serve them fora shroud,
And the sea-cave is their tomb.
And where Is that loyaiist being gone ?
Hope nut diet she is sued alone,
Immoral tboup such beauty seem's' to be.

Went down with the ship and hue gallant coy—

LOSS OF THE COMET STEAM-PACKET OF
GLASGOW.
Irrem the Gresers eotarier of Saturasyl
It is With feelings of deep regret and sorrow, that we
have to communicate to our readers the account of an acci-
dent of the most melancholy kind: The details are as yet
few—the resale most fatal. Durink the whole of yesterday
the anxiety and sensation created in this city by the intel-
ligence waaery great. The alarm was greatly heightened
by the knowledge of the fact, that another steam boat was
to leave the same quarter about the Name time, and many
individuals remained ignorant in which of the boats the
friends whom they expected might have taken their passage.
Yetterday morning, the steam-boat Comet, with pas-
sengers from Inverness and Fort-William, 'was ran down
off Kempock Point, between Gourock and the *Clough
Light-house, by the steem-b:lat Ayr, outward•bound. In
rounding the point the vessels came in contact with such
force and vielencc, that the Comet went do,m almost in-
stantaneously, when above 70 persons were, in a moment,
precipitated into the deep—into eternity ! Ten only are.
saved, out of above 80, which were believed to be on board.
Amongst those escaped is the Master, who was got on
shore, but in such an exhausted state, that, at the date of
our latest accounts, he we; unable to give any account of
what had taken place, or of the passengers on board. There
is too much reason to dread, that the greater number of
thole who have perished arc persons in the superior ranks
of life.

'f he Ayr, we learn, had a light out upon her bow, but
the Comet had none. As the night however was clear, it
is obvious that a bad look-out had been kept up, and most
reprehensible neglect shown on both sides. The Ayr re-
ceived such a shock, aled.sas so smelt damaged, that she
reached Greenock wltlrmteh difficulty, in a sinking state.
It was blowing fresh, with a heavy sea. It was also ex-
ceedingly cold ; and at the moment the accident took place,
those on the deck of the Comet were, it is said, enywged in
dancing, to whith amusement they were probably induced
to resort in order to keep themselves warm, there not being
sufficient accommodation below for the number of passen-
gers on hoard.
Much valuable property had floated ashore yesterday
morning. Every exertion was making to save and to lodge
it in a place of security. Our respected townsman, Mr.
Andrew Rankin, was particularly active on the occasion ;
and, at an early hour in the morning, Mr. Marshall, She-
riff; from Greenock, bad reached the spot, to give his ad-
vice and assistance on this distressing occasion. Twelve
dead bodies had been washed ashore by an early hour yes-
terday morning ; amongst these were two genteelly dressed
fernlike, two black servants, and Mrs. Wright, the widow
of thelate Archibald Wright, druggist of this city. In the
pockets of the body tit a gentleman washed ashoro, 70/. was
found. Amongst those who perished, anti whose names
we can state from good authority, is Mr. Graham of Coe.
poch, Mr. Macallister, W. S. Edinburgh, and Captain
Sutherland of the 33d Rririment, and his lady, who were
only five days married. The bodies of Capt. Sutherland,
and another passenger, were found in the yawl this morn-
ing. It is supposed she upset after they had got into her.
Mrs. Sutherland caught hold of Mr. Colin Alexander An.
demon, from Appin (the only cabin passenger who is
saved) and fur some tune clung round him, but in the
--Ae with the she lost her hold and

arrived in Glasgow, r.
is in a state bordering on delirium. To
him Mr. Campbell of Corpach clung for a considerable
time. when a wave threw the great coat of the latter over
the head of the former, which compelled hint to throw
Mr. Campbell off, just as both were upon the point of
sinking.
At the moment the fatal accident took place, we are in./
formed, upon the authority of Mr. Anderson, just arrived
in Glasgow, that the passengers, who were below, went in
high spirits, amusing themselves, telling and listening to
diverting tales. The first stroke bit about the paddle of
the Comet. The Captain and passengers immediately run
upon deck to see what was wrong, when the next fatal
stroke took place with such force, that the Comet filled,
and in two minutes went down head foremost. Mr. An-
derson, we regret to add, states that the nr.oment this took
place the Ayr, instead of lending them any assistance,ve
her paddles a back stroke, turned round, and went Ofe le
Greenock, leaving them to their fate. If assistance bed
been rendered, he thinks many of the sufferers might have
been saved ; but in the state of alarm in which he was, he
may have been mistaken.
[From the Glaegote elweniele of Ssturday.l
It gives us great pain to record one of the most melan-
choly accidents that ever occurred in this part of the coun-
try. The Comet steam-boat was on her way from Inver-
in=s to Glasgow, with between 60 and 70 passengers ; of
these it was stated that 26 passengers were in the cabin;

sels were prevented from seeing each other by the head-
land, till it was too late to prevent the shock ; and as both
were going at full speed, the crash was treinetulous. The
starboard bow of the Cornet being stove in, she filled with
water, and almost instantly sunk ; sad, with the exception
of the following persons, the whole of the passengers were
lost:—

Saved.—Captain M'lnnes. the Pilot, an Engineman, a woman,
who lost her child, a young girl, the carpenter, Mr. Colin Alex.
Anderson, !fir. Cameron, jun. Ft.-IVilliam, and three others.
Names of five of the pawns lost.—Caytain Sutherland and his
wife, only five days msrried, Mr. Graham, of Corpach, Mr.
31`Aliiter, W.S. Edinburgh, Mrs, Wright.

We have seen a young gentleman who escaped, and have
learned from him the following particularst—The vessel
was about a quarter of a mile distant from the shore when
the a:cident happened. About half an hour before several
of the passengers were engaged in dancing upon the deck,
bat they had almost all gone below. The first alann heard
was from a person hailing, but from which boat was un-
certain. Almost immediately the shock was felt, anti every
body ran on deck. The water rushed in so rapidly that
the engineman was up to the knees before he could reach
the deck. They tried to keep the engine going, thinking
she might drive them ashore; but the influx of water was
so strong that the engine was almost immediately stopped;
end in three minutes after the vessel was struck, she went
to the bottom. During the short period which elapsed be-
tween the stroke and the sinking of the vessel, about thirty
people crowded into the yawl before it was cut loose, and
so hastily was this done, that the one end of the boat
was seine time under the water before the other end could
be lowered, by which means the boat was upset and threw
them all into the water. The steam-boat went down bow
foremost The screams of the drowning people were most
appalling, and cannot be described. They shouted to them
on board the other boat to return to their assistance, but
without effioct. Our informer remained in the vessel till
she sank from beneath hit feet, and then swain as he best
eouTtl. An engineer held him by the neck, and nearly
drowned him. Fortunately he reached the overturned
boat, which lay keel uppermost, to which the pilot and
another were bolding on either side. He seized hold of
one side of the boat, the engineman still clinging to him,
sad by this additional weight the boat was righted. The
whole four .then got in. She was nearly filled with water,
and being without oars, they were unable to make any ex-
ertions to gain the shore. They remained in this situation
Or about 2S minutes, when a pilot-boat, whom the screams

. . , . . . .
rof the sufferers ,had alarmed, reached them, but in the
struggle to get in they nearly upset the pilot-boat, and were
brought ashore clinging to the outside, or held by the
hands of the crew of the Goutock pilot-boat. One old
Highlander s*am ashore; and a woman, whose child was
drowned, came safe on shore on some article of furniture;
she had kept hold of her child till she perceived it was
dead, and then reluctantly resigned it to the deep. Our
informant considers there would be about 70 people on
hoard ;of these eleven were saved. %lien he left by
the Greenock mail this afternoon, eleveu bodies had been
drifted ashore.
Besides many respectable people, on their way to Edin-
burgh and Glasgow, there were, we are led to believe,
I traders proceeding to Glasgow, to make purchases
for the approaching Fort William fair, god who may natu-
rally be supposed to have had considerable property on
their persons.
A passenger on board the Ayr relates, that he was one
of four cabin passengers who were All below when the ac-
cident happened. He had lain down on a sofa undressed,
beard a noise forward which alarnied him, and before he
had time to disentangle himself from the clothes he had
thrown over him, the vessels struck with a tremendous
crash. On reaching the deck he saw the Comet drifting
from them, and wheeling round: there was light enough
from the moon to enable him to distinguish the hills on
either side, and the various objects around. On board the
Ayr the utmost confusion prevailed. The Cornet was in
sight for about three minutes, when a most appalling
shriek arose from the passengers on board of her, evidently
crowding to the sidenearest the Ayr, and with outstretched
arms imploring help: not a cry reached his ears after the
vessel went down, and in a few moments the river was as
unrolled as ever. AlI on board die Ayr were in the ut-
most consternation, and it is much to be feared iu down-
right stupefaction, with the exception of two seamen be-
longing to the Harmony, who, after endeavouring in vain
to rally the men belonging to the vessel, lowered the boat
at the stern, for the purpose of rendering whatever assist-
ance was in their power; but at the moment when she
reached the water with one of the men in her, and before
the tackles were yet loosed, the steam was unfortunately
set on, and boat and man dragged render the water; he
saved himself by clinging to ;lie ropes, and, providentially
for all on board, reached the deck, when he and his com-
panions had enough to do to keep the vessel from going
down. She was evidently in a sinking state. At the time
of the accident the Ayr had a light at the bow, as well as a
man on the look-out.

[From the Greenock Advertiser of Friday.'
The Comet steam-briat' on her passage from Inverness
to this port, had reached the point of Kernpoch at nearly
two o'clock, when she was met by the steam-boat Ayr,
11('CleHand, of Avr, which was on her way to that port
from Greenock. The two boats going with considerable
velocity, were very near each other before mutually
ob-
served. As soon as perceived, the person on the look-out
on board the Comet, cried to the pilot to put the helm a-
starboard, which order the pilot of the Ayr understood to
be meant as instructions to him ; both vessels were in con-
sequence directed towards each other, and before the mb-
fortunate mistake could be remedied, they Caine in contact
with such violence, as to stave in the starboard bow of the
Comet, which vessel in a few minutes went down, and,
melancholy to relate, the whole of the passengers, with the
'cception of nine, and the muter and pilot of the vessel,
• drowned ; Two of the latter, to lady and child, have

J lady, from Inverness, were on board, whose bodies
are not yet found. There hare also been washed ashore,
besides the two above named, the bodies of four men, four
women, and two children, whose names we have not hi-
therto been able to learn.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the people of
Gourock, generally, for the readiness with which they
gave their assistance, and the honesty which has been
shown in delivering up the property picked up along the
beach, one instance of which deserves to be mentioned. A
young girl, daughter of James Mains, of Gourock, found
a fifty-pound Bank of England note, which was instantly,
in the most praiseworthy manner, delivered to Mr. Rankin.
Great blame is attached to the Captain of the Ayr, for
not attempting to afford assistance ; he almost instantly, on
the catastrophe occurring, put shout, and made for
Greenock : had he, on the contrary, stopped to pick up
those who were able to struggle for a short time on the sur-
face of the water, the chance is, that marry might have
been saved who have nor meta watery grave, and his ves-
sel might have been run ashore at Gourock, had he found
her so leaky as to be unfit to proceed back to our port.
Those saved were chiefly rescued by wherries belonging to
Gourock, which instantly put off when the alarm was given.
'We could have wished that no cause had existed to sus-
pect depredation of the property cast ashore; but from
the circumstance of a trunk being carried up to an adjoin-
ing field by two men, who have since absconded, leaving
the trunk open, which was found by a person who brought
it to Mr. Rankin, containing some wearing-apparel, it
is strongly suspected that money had been abstracted.
The information of the accident was speedily made
known here by the arrival of the Ayr, and, both before and
since morning dawned, the most active assistance has been
supplied from hence, for the purpose of recovering the
bodies, collecting the property cast ashore, &c. Of the
latter a great quantity has been safely stored in the cellars
of Mr. Rankin's house. The money found is likewise in
safe custody. C. Marshall, Esq. Sheriff-substitute of the
Lower Ward, went down early this morning, as likewise
several gentlemen in the commission of the peace, to render
every assistance. Shells have been ordered to be prepared
for the bodies, as also the customary appareling of the dead,
and the hapless victims have been conveyed to Gourock
Church, to await being claimed by their relatives. In
short, whatever sympathy, humanity, and the most honour-
able and judicious feelings could devise, has been resorted
to, on all hands, to pay respect to the remains of those who
have so suddenly been called from this scene of transitory
existence.

This melancholy event will at once revive the recollection
of the loss of the Catherine, of lona, from being run down
by the Hercules, steam-boat, on the night of Saturday, the
10th August, 1822. A strong coincidence prevails in the
two cases. In both the calamity was occasioned by steam-
vessels, in the very• outset of their career. The time was
nearly the same: the accidents occurred almost at the same
place, and had similar causes assigned them, In the case
of the Catherine, forty-two persons perished out of forty-
six ; in the present instance, it is to be feared, however, a
much larger number has been lost.
An investigation into the whole matter is now going on,
and may be expected to continue until the causes and con-
sequences are fully developed. We shall leave no effort
untried to collect whatever information is attainable regard-
ing it, which, as far as we may then have acquired, shall
he reported in our next. Meanwhile, we trust the imper-
fections and irregularities of the present narrative will be
ascribed to their proper source—the impossibility of pro-
curing and arranging, within so short a time, anything like
a complete detail of so great a calamity.

THREE o'CLocx.
We have just learned that the Captain of the Comet,
corroborated by one of the other survivors, states it as his
opinion that there were not more than sixty individuals on
board when she went-down. Four English gentlemen had
been landed at Rcthsay last night. There were twenty-six
cabin passengers. At two o'ciock only twelve bodies had
yet hen recovered.
Besides those lost whose names have already been men-
tioned, are the following:—Mr. WAllister, writer, Edin-
burgh ; Mr. WAllister, said to be a relation of the above;
Captaht Campbcll. Mr. Cameron, jun. Fort William,

This was an action of nova, to receive* the YAW .Of thher

Manson stopped payment, and shortly after the good* strived, and
Mr. Harden, the agent of Messrs. Meunier and Co., the French
merchants, stopped the goods is transits. Alt. Braise claimed
them by virtue of his contract with Messrs. Manson, and the
' owners of the London Dock, where the brandies were deposited, filed
a bill of interpleader in Chancery, for the purpose of saving them-
selves from trouble, and ascertaining who was the real owner. Out
of that proceeding the present action originated, which was to try
the question of ownership. Mr. Blaine, the plaintiff, had, in the
mean time, failed, and the bill which he gave for the brandies had
Dever been paid.

Braine is a broker ; we knew he was acting for himself. We had
a bill for the value, payable at four months ; it was dated the 14th
of February ; it sat antedated, because the brandy had am yet ar-
rived. We gave him the bill of lading.

ipg repeatedly risen in the course of the examination, to object to
the giving prattle evidence cf the dontract of wale, when thecontract
Itself ought to be eroductel, now rose again, and said, "They
want to get out of the contract by showing these documents ; they
show that these documents were given to Bruin*, but they do not
explain in what manner.
Mr. SCARLETT.—If this was action between the eentreeting
parties, It would undoubtedly be necessary for us to produce the
contract ; but I am not bound to show the contract in an action
spinet a wrong doer. It is sufficient if I show a title to tbp pro-
perty in my client.
The LORD CHIEY JUSTICE thought that it ought to be pro-
duced.
51e SCARLETT.—We have no objection to produce it: We
know not what fine speculations may be built upon it ; but there is
nothing in it which need alarm us.
The contract was accordingly put in and read.

The ATTORNEY-OENERAL now addressed the Jury for the
defendant. He adverted in succession to the different circeimstangee
Indicative cf fraud, which accompanied the transfer of
brandies from Messrs. Manson to Braine. First of all he soM
brandies on the 20th February, and became a bankrupt on the

Next it appeared that he was at this very time owing 6.0001. to Mr.
Braiue, and was it possible foe any man to bejleve for `moment,
that this sale ivy; not intended for his accommodation ? According
to the law of the city, a broker is not allowed to purchase on his
own account. lee eaters into a bond that he will make no pttr.
chases on his own account. Again, the bill is ante.dated, not asMr. Scarlett saw, beCause it might make all things square, but
because Messrs. Manson knew that they were on the suit veep of
bankruptcy, and it is dated six days before, that the temeetales
might not appear to have taken place on the very day of diets
bankruptcy. Under these circumstances, hesbaild leave the case
confidently in the hands of the Jury, conscious that his chart MR
have a yerdier. By such a verdict no party would suffer any wrong.
The consignee had paid nothing for these brandiee—the present
plaintiff had paid nothing for them —these parties, therefore, would
experience no wrong, and .51essrs..51ounier and Co. the real einem,
would recover back their property.
Thlt home CIIIEY JUSTlCE—l:,pperirs to me that the only
question Is whether the transaction between Messrs. Manson sad
Mr. Braine was a real and boaa fide sale. Now, Menet. Manse*

lading are etanstretted to them, • said' they deliver then over to Mr..
Braine a little before the 2lat of. February. AU this is in the or.

title to a bona fide purchaser. You find then chit on the very same
day they send to him for • bill. They don't leave it for acceptance,
but send fbr it, and have it back the came day. Again they do
not date the bill on the day it wan drawn; but on the 14th. six days
