UNGOVERNABLE PASSION.—A Seliwis instauc
,1 the dangerous effects of untrovernable nassio

UNGOVERNABLE I' serions instance
of the dangerous el ,f ungovernable passion
occurred at Arbroath, on the night of Monday
se'nhight. A Leith vessel, from a foreien port,
was in the harbour of that place, discharging
part of her cargo, and, as usual, t!ie vessel, was
strictly watched by a party of Custom-louse
officers on her leek.---The Captain did not return,
at night to his ship until a late hour, by whien
time the crew had gone below. On his gOint,
hoard and not finding- his men in waiting, he called
thetn'to him, and began to abuse theme in the most
violent manner. His passion got so-far the better
of him, that he retired instantly to hi state room,
and 'returned With cutlas, and laid about him
in the most furious manners During the con-
flict the Custom-house Officers retired for per-
sonal -safety. The crew hastened out of his ‘vay ;
but one poor fellow, who was near the Captain,
not so fortunate as his comrades, in effecting 1113
escape, received a dread:ol thrust in the hack,
Which, it is apprehended, may prove mortal.--
. The Captain has been -lodged in prison for exa-
mination, and, until the fate of the man who Was
stabbed should. he .ascertained. The -Costom-
house Officers, on examining the vessel on 'Wed-
nesday, found large quantities of contraband
goods, the property of the -master. The whole
was seized, as also the ship and cargo.
Mer..Aistcuouv ACCIDENTS.—A few days ago, a
very:tnelancholy accident took place at Waltham.
Cross. '.lle Boston coach stopped there for a
short' period, when time horses suddenly turned
into a low covered gateway with the coach, where
there, was no room to admit the passengers on
the roof ; the consequence was, that four of them
were so completely pressed between the coach and.
the upper part of the gateway as actually to pre-
Vent the vehicle from going on. When the sof-,
ferers were relieved i'rotn their unhappy situation,
one person was found quite dead, and the others
were so much bruised that their lives are despair,
ed of.

A letter received 'from Tobermory, Island of
Mull, October 3, says—" We have melancholy
news here this day. The packet-boat between
Mull and Coll, having on board 21 men and ore
woman, overset, and all ,on board perished.—
There was a fair at Coll, to which the passen-
gers were going. The accident happened when.
an attempt was made to return to port on account
of the high winds. "•. The letter mentions the
following persons as having been onboard :--
Kenneth M'Lean, merchant, Kilmore, Mull;
Hector Morrison and Malcolm AP Dmialtl, drovers
there—two chapmen from Edin!)urgh, but their
names are not mentioned=all the rest belonged
to Cunish, The Master of the packet was
not on board when the accident happened, but he
had two sons ; and, what is remarkable, he,
about nine years ags, lost another packet, with
two. sons.

CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 18.—We had but few
arrivals of any kind of Grain this morning, yet
what was left over from Monday was quite 'equal
to the demand. The sale of Wheat was very
dull, and Monday's prices were scarcely obtained.
Oats were rather brisker, at the prices of that
day. Barley and Malt were dull. In Pease and
Beans there wits I:0 material variation.
