WHITEHAVEN, APRIL 19.
About seven o'clock, in the morning of Monday
the 4th instant, the brig Mary of Mary Port, Captain
Joan! BRowN, was wrecked near Whithorn, in Scot-
land ; and, we are sorry to say, the Captain's wife
and a boy were unfortunately drowned.
It appears that the ve9sel drifted so near the rocks,
Shat three of the crew jumped on shore ; but the Cap-
tain, fearing his wife would be injured amongst the
rocks, if he had not another rope to assist her ( tl.e
former one being too short) he gave the boy the end
of the rope until he could splice another to it, when
the boy lost his hold, and in a few 7ninutes after the
vessel split from stem to stern, and Captain BROWN,
his wife, and the boy, were precipitated between the
two parts of the ship ! The Captain was soon after
thrown on the rocks nearly lifeless, but the bodies of
Mrs. Brow% and the boy were never seen afterwards.

EXTRACTS FROM THE MADRAS COURIER, OCT. 7.
THE COMM—For several evenings past an unu.
sual luminous appearance, supposed to be a Comet,
has been seen in the West. It disappears about 8 P.M.
Its progress is rapid, and it seems to be fast ap
proaching the sun. We shall endeavour to ascertain
the particulars from those who are more masters of
these subjects than we pretend to be, and submit them
to our readers in a future publication. It will be re-
membered that a Comet has appeared in Europe a
few months ago.
Ocr. I+.—The Comet which has appeared for se-
veral evenings back, is receding both from the earth
and the sun ; the former is evident, from the body of
the Comet being seen through the transparency of its
tail, and the latter by measurement. By a Theodo-
lite its magnetic bearing and altitude.were nearly as
follows ;
October sth, at '7ll. 20' mean time, P.M. it bore by
the N. 83° 45' W. and its altitude was about 17° 35.
It therefore approaches the Pole at the mean daily
rate of 1° 35'. The tail has much the appearance of
the milky way, and is quite transparent, as a fixed star
was distinctly seen on the sth, through its upper ex-
tremity.
ROYAL TiGEn.—ln the forenoon of the Ist instant+
a Royal Tiger made its appearance in the cantonment
at the Mount, when he was pursued by several artil
lerymcn, and ascended the Mount, where he was
wounded toy a fuzil ball, which irritated him much,
and his passage across the Mount he struck down two
natives ; one of whom is now lingering with a lock.
jaw, the other not materially hurt. The Tiger then
crossed the Outer Mount, when he was attacked by an
inconsiderate European, armed enly with a stick ; this
man was torn by the paws in his face, and bit severely
in the ehigh ; he is however doing well. Several fuzil
balls being fired into the animal, he was killed, and
triumphantly brought into the cantonment on a cart.
He measured from the head to the end of the tail,
near 10 feet, and in height near 5 feet. The Tiger
was seen by villagers the night before, a few miles to
the southward of the Mount. This is the first instance
of a Royal Tiger being seen in that cantonment. We
hear that another Tiger has since been seen, supposed
to be the female of the above.

Saturday se'nnight, Mary Chandley was executed
at La aster, pursuant to her sentence at the last
AssizA, for robbing her master's house, in Liverpool.
She was 19 years of age, and was so ignorant of reli-
gious duties as to be unable to repeat tke Lord's
Prayvr. As the executioner was putting the cap over
her face, she exclaimed—.“ Oh ! Man, I never will for-
give you!w and her shrieks were loud and piercing.
In the course of a trial at Buckingham Assizes
Mr. WILSON, Counselior the Plaintiff, observed to
the Jury, that if a horse was bought and warranted
sound, but which afterwards proved unsound, it was
not necessary (as was generally supposed) for the
purchaser to return the horse, in order to support an
action for recovery of damages for such unsoundness.
He need not return the horse at all, and yet mighs
bring his action, and recover damages i in which opi-
