Berkeley,
the Royal George, which sank at Spithead on Aug. 19, 1782.
His escape on that memorable occasion was almost mi-
raculous; be was below at the time the vessel capsized, but
was fortunate enough to get out at one of the port-holes.
As he was swimming to the shore one of the persons who was
on board at the time of the accident, and who, like himself,
was struggling for life, caught hold of his foot and dragged
him towards the bottom. By a desperate effort he freed
himself from the deadly grasp, one of his shoes having come
oil in the struggle, and by this means he was released from
his perilous situation ; the other shoe he retained as a relic
to his dying day. Before reaching the shore he saw a wo-
man struggling in the water, and being an expert swimmer
he brought her safely to land with him. Mr. Ingram had
seen a great deal of service, having been at the siege of Gi-
braltar when it was attacked by the combined fleets of France
and Spain, and also in many naval actions. His sight and
health were remarkably good up to within a short time of
his death. Deceased was well known to travellers on the
old coach road from Gloucester to Bristol, as the coachmen
used frequently to pull up to allow their passengers to see
a veteran whose life had been marked by so miraculous an
incident.

FOREIGN CATTLE.—The steam-ship Diana, arrived
from Harlingen, has brought 253 pigs as a part of her cargo,
which is the largest importation of this description of live
stock that has taken place from the continental state of Eu-
rope on one occasion, in addition to 110 beasts, 89 calves, 850
sheep, and general provisions, altogether a very large cargo
of Dutch produce; and the steam-ship Tiger, just arrived
also, from Tonningen, has brought the extraordinary large
number of 235 head of oxen and cows, and also 20 sheep, the
produce of Denmark.

LORD BROUGHAM AND THE SOLWAY AUT.—PEN-
EITH, TUESDAY, OCr. 8. - The illegal netting transaction
which took place on the 16th ult., at Nine Kirk Holme, in
the river Eamont,. and which created so much interest and
excitement, was in's day brought to a final termination, so
far as the magistrates are cnneerned. It will be remem-
bered that on the investigation of the affair at the Petty Ses-
sions held at Penrith on the 24th ult. five informations
(amongst others under different Acts of Parliament) under
the Solway Act were preferred against Lord Brougham's
party for using an illegal net in the river Eamont, and that
one of them, according to an arrangement between the par-
ties, was only investigated, and that the magistrates took
time to consider the evidence and to give their decision,
which, before a full bench of magistrates, was delivered by
the Rev. W. 11. Milner, vicar of Penrith, at great length.
The result was that Armstrong, one of Lord Brougham's
party, was fined 51. ander the Solway Act.

CAUTION TO STEAM-BOAT PASSENGERS.—On
Tuesday evening Mrs. Anne Coleman, of :30. Queen-street,
Ilorselydown, Southwark, was landing at the London-bridge
Steam-packet 'Wharf from a steamer, when in her anxiety
to get ashore before the vessel was properly secured, she
slipped overboard between the vessel and dummy, and
(ming to the darkness sunk and was drowned. She has left
a numerous family to regret her untimely end.
CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—On Tuesday evening,
as early as a quarter-past nine o'clock, a middle-aged gen-
tleman, in passim,. through Great George-street, West-
minster, was hustled by a path: of men and a N+ Oman, in ap-
pearat.ce a servant-girl. The woman pretended to be an-
iloyed at the Jude joke of being thrust against the gentle-
man. lie was thrown to the ground, and in falling thought
lie observed the party making oil in ditlerent directions. As
,u on as Le recovered his feet he found one of his hands and
one leg above the knee were considerably bruised, and, on
looking for his purse, that it was still in his pocket, but that
his watch, an antique repeating one, and a small dark eor-
nelian gull seal, attached 1.3, a ribbon to it, were gone.
From the indistinctness of his recollection of how long he was
upon the ground, though probably
nly part of a minute, it is
supposed that chloroform or some similarly deleterious agent
was used in aid of the dexterous hand that stole the watch.

GRERNLAn) EtsnEwr.—The
Eclipse arrived at
Peterhead un Saturday, being the last of the Buchan fleet
from Greenland. The Eclipse has 10 whales, 95 tuns of oil,
and a trilling number of seals. The Greenland fishing has
been very successful this season, and the consequence is,
that a decided impetus has been given to the trade, no fewer
than four new vessels being added to the fleet for the coming
year.
