Molls, 9 p.m. August 5, 15251
After leaving Giaveiend, on Wednesday, proceeded
to an anchorage below the Note, whine the pilot
brought up, and on Thursday morning, at two, began
to heave up, but on consulting my glass, I found
there was a prospect of bad weather, and determined
op waiting where I was, to put the ship to rights, and
trim her properly. This I effected much to my sa-
tisfaction, before the evening, when the glass still in-
dicating an increase of wind, I made all snug for the
night ; and having only the lightest anchor, that of
16cwt. out, I got the steam up, in order to assist her,
should it be required. At eleven it blew very hard,
the glass still falling, a great deal of sea running, but
the ship riding very lightly on her anchor, and no
steam required. The gale continued to increase.—
About one, veered more cable. At three it was at its
height, and we experienced some very hard squ ills,
but rode very easy, and at half-past three the glass began to rise.
At half-past eleven, the glass still continuing to rise, and the wea-
ther looking pretty fine. we began to weigh.
We are now in the Downs, not intending to anchor, though she
wind is still blowing very fresh from the westward. This ship is a
noble roadster, and I am well satisfied with my ship's crew.

Saturday, August 6th.

The Steam Vessel, on her voyage to India, passed Dungeness, at
nine A. 14. It blows a strong gale, consequently *heavy sea on from
the westward; notwithstanding these impediments, :be came up,
and passed in pliant style, pitcbing heavily, but did not appear to
take it over all, neither to have muck rolling motion. This heavy
gale and sea will effectually try ber powers.
Monday, August S.
From information received from Dover of yesterday's date, it
nethat when off Beschy-head, finding she did not make sue-
tanhead against wind and sea, to equal the value of the coals
consumed, Captain Johnston determined to lay-to, until the weather
moderated, and, after drifting back as far as Dungeness, the vessel
again proceeded to the westward yesterday morning.

HUMPHREYS, Esq. a Gentleman of fortune, left the
H or se and Groom inn,GreatPortland•street,for the Tower,
from whence he was to embolic in one of the Bologne
steam-packets for the South of Fiance. On the ;coach
arriving at the Tower, and the coachman opening the
door, he found the Gentleman in a state of insensibility.
He used every effort to arouse him without effect,
and sent for a surgeon; but ere any medical aid could
be found, Mr. HUMPHREYS had breathed his last.
There being a quantity of luggage in the coach, the
driver refused to allow the body to be removed ; but

Horse and Groom, where he deposited the deceased
Gentleman's body. The circumstance produced a very
great sensation.
COMETL—On the 25th ult. the Director of the Royal
Observatory at Marseilles discovered, at a quarter be-
fore two o'clock in the morning, in the constellation of
Taurus, a new comet, invisible to the naked eye. Its po-
Isition that morning, at five minutes past two o'clock (true
time) at Marseilles was : right ascension 621-3 deg., do.
clension 26 3-4 deg. North. Its nucleus was vet y feeble
and confused; and the surrounding nebulosity appeared
sensibly elongated in the direction opposite to the sun. M.
Arago announced a few days as'o to theFrenchAeademy
of Sciences, that M. Pons re-discovered on the 15th ult.
the short-period comet, precisely at the place where it
ought' to be, according to the ephemeris of M. Eucke
This re-appearance of the comet is considered a pledge
for that expected to appear towards the end of the year
1828, or beginning of 1829.
