FRON THE GLASGOW CHRONICLE.

Among those saved on board the Cornet, there was
a young Lady, Miss Jane Munro, about sive -n, Iron]
'fain, on a Vl* to her aunt in Glasgow. As her iela•
tion had never seen her, it was judged needless to go
down to claim her body, and all hope was given up,
when, on Si a le,ter was received from Gnu-
iock with the gratifying and unexpected intelligence of
er preservation. So far as she can recollect, it was PS
feilOWS:—....“ The lii st :hock stitnk the Cornet on the

boar, and turned vessel nearly round. tie second
struck upon the stern, when she ima-ediately went down.
It is believed, that had she not been struck the second
time, she would have been able to 'retch the shore.
Our informant, v the time this happened, was stand-
ing on the deck, and when the vessel went down was
precipitated imp the waters. She sunk twice, but on ,
corning up the second time, caught hold of two spars,
to which she clung from about twenty minutes to half
an hour. During the whole of this di eacFul period, she
still had hope of being saved, nor lost her presence of
mind during the whole time; as an instance of which,
feeling a shawl she worst getting heavy with the water,
she threw it off to lighten her. And as fat then proof,
she saw several around her struggling in the water,
particularly one Gentleman near her;, who from the
gurgling :wise he made, was evioently chocking,
and making his last struggle, and then going down
diose by her side.
A dog belonging, it is 'believed, to Mr. M'Allister,
swam alongside of her, and she thinks materially aided
her ; certain it is, that the dog followed her to the
house where she was taken, and after she was put in
lied, the faithful animal leapt in and lay at her feet.
When the young Lady felt his weight, she, not knowing
what it was, cried out, when the mistress of the house,
not knowing its Listury, unfortunately turned the dog
out. She felt very unwell after being• brought on shore,
but after being twice bled, and gettinit a night's rest,
she perfectly recovered. She was two or three times
very near the Orme, bur was carried hack by the reflux
,fthe waves. A small trunk belrinrbior, to her, was
washed ashore, and given tip to her. The pilot-boat
on gr.ing out a second time picked her up, and the
pilot, Mr. Martin, confided her to the care of his
wi•e, who carried her up to his house and paid her
every attention. The conduct of Mr. Mertin during
the whole of this dreadful affair was most meritorious.
His exertions were unceasing during the whole morn-
ing. The wind fortunately: blew towards the shore.
The body of Mr. Charles M'Allister, W. S. has not yet
been found ; but there is no doubt of his fate, as we
have seen a letter from him to a friend in Glasgow,
sta ing that he was to leave Inverness by the Comet,
and meant to spend a day with him before going to
Edinburgh. One of his dogs with a collar, on which
Mr. M'Allister's name was engraven, swam on shore.
By Sunday, nearly nine carts load of luggage bad
been thrown ashore, and the duty of examining it de-
volved on the Sheriff Substitute. The whole has been
lodged in a place of security in Greenock. The engine-
man of the Cornet who was saved, reports, that the last
time he saw Captain Sutherland and his wife, was at
the moment of the vessel's going down, when they
were standing fast clasped in each others arms on the
quarser-deck. Ile farther reports that Mr. Graham of
Corpach, stink withia little more than six yards of the
she re. The engine-man's face is much lacerated by
the deatli•grasp ss ith which he was held by that un
fortunate young Gentleman. 1-1%, is perfectly con-
vinced, that had the Ayr stopped to render them
assistance, many lives would have been saved.—
Friday morning, when the property recovered was
ranged along the shore outside the sea mark, an
Irishman passing to his work, observed a trunk, beside
which two pointer dogs were crouching. Ile lifted a
stone and drove them away, and covered the trunk with
a white cloth that was lying beside it, and went imme-
diately to Mr. Rankine, who sent a man for it, and
although it had lain without protection for half an hour,
no attempts were made upon its contents. Indeed the
conduct of the people with respect to the. property of
• the unfortunate sufferer!, has been above all praise.

FROM Tilt IDINIVSOLI STAR or MURAT.
It is with feelings of deep sorrow that we have learnt from a
Gentleman, who did not leave Gourock till Site o'clock on Sabbath
afternoon, that there is much reason to fear that the numbers
who were on board the Comet, are far greater than has been.
reported. Ile made particular inquiries of the pilot, the engine-
man, and two of the crew ; and all were of opinion that the number
of passengers were not under eighty. If this opinion be correct, the
calamity is still more dreadful and extensive than had been
imagined; and, of the untimely victims cf a watery grave, the
majority must yet remain in the bed of the octan. The Gentleman
to whom we are indebted for our information, mentioned that
some more bodies, besides those already enumerated, had been
found ; hut the names were not ascertained when he left Gourock.
Preparations were then making, and it was expected would by this
time be completed, to rai►e the vessel. A considerable quantity of
property must be on board, as the boat was unusually crowded, and
is not probable that much can be washed away.

In addition to the names of the sufferers given in the
STAR of yesterday, we have to add the following liat of
persons found on Sunday :
A man, with brown coat, yellow buttons, and black trowsers;
Donald M'Brayne; John Geminill, man•servant to Sir J. Rad-
cliffe; Mary Meek, servant to Sir J. Radcliffe; Donald Campbell,
merchant, Glasgow; 11. J. Rollo, W.S. Edinburgh; John Heron,
one of the Comet's stewards; Donald Cameron, do. Alexander
*Kenzie, do.
