This was an action by the lessees of Covent-garden

leti.lant, to recover tolls to which it was Alleged he was
liable, and which it was considered that he had eva•tei.
It appeared that the defendant was a potatoe-sales-
run, resiiing in James-street, Covent-video, and that
le occasionally mimed his waggon to•t• and .st his door
tut the purpose of selling marketable commodities on
that place: but on the cross examination of Mr. Perry,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NovEmsta 3.
AssIGNEEs Glr HIwARD AND GIBE: t.l. JACKSON.

Flat. read the declaration, ultich set forth that
this Pusan action brought by the assignees of" Howard
sod Gibbs against Thomas Jackson," for the payment
of two promiss.ly notes, value between 2,000/. and
3,0001. and endorsed to the bankrupts.
Nlf.Serjeant WILDE, in stating the case to the Jury,
explained the nature of the business of money agency
which had been so long catried on by Messrs. Howard
and Gibbs, and which had already, from the re, etition
ki4.l proceedings, acquired so much publ c notoriety.
T• e defendant was now a man of considerable property,
retired from business, but who formerly was eaten.
'''ely engaged as a horse-dealer. At that time he
Eitune possessed of certain property in annu ties, which
I'd to his connection with the film of the bankrupts,
and accounts of a very complicatecl nature appeared to
been kept open between the parties, the pa titulars

LOSS OF TIIE COIIEI' STEAM-BOAT.

The following lines were suggested by the melancholy occurrence
of the loss of the Comet Steam-Twat, which bas spread such a
gloom over the country, and carried sorrow and affliction amidst
families and districts, where the unfortunate sufferers were known
and esteemed.— Glasgow Herald.
The boat came gently o'er the sea,
lier home was nigh at hand ;
And sounds of mirth and revelry
Were wafted is the land!
The moon had sunk, 'twas midnight deep,
No angry storm was there;
But, hark ! by Kempoch's rocky steep,
What shrieks of wild despair!
The boat is drifting on the wave,
Beneath a cloudlees sky:
She sinks; -Ind o'er her wat'ry grave
AKends the piercing cry !
The gay, the lovely, and the brave,
The wedded, and the bride,

And eery hope which Faocy gave
Were buried in the tide!
The deep has clo,'d, the stream rolls on,
Relentless as before
The drowning cry, the mournful groan,
Were wafted to the shore!
It was not thus when morning rose ;
Ten every heart was gay,
And lope seent'd brighter at the close
Of that eventful day!
But soon, ah! soon, a cloud o'ercast
Their ev'ry cherish'd dream;
And Death came wing'd upon the blast,
And brooded o'er the stream!
Farewell, thou wild and faithless sea,
And Kempoch's fatal steep,
Fur many a heart will turn to thee,
Nur soon forget to weep!
Where late the smile of joy appear'd—
la sorrow's sable train,
And anxious hearts, that hop'd and fear'd,
Can never hope again !
Amidst the gay and gaudy crowd,
Where hearts forget their woe,
I hear sonic bosom sigh .loud,
I see the tear drops flow !
Farewell, thou wild and faithless sea,
And Kernpoch's fatal steep,
For many a heart will turn to thee,
Nor soon forget to weep!

FROM TILE GREENOCK ADVERTISER, NOVEMBER 1.

We are informed that the poor man, Alexander Gray,
piper of the C.imet, had on the late un ortunate
money entrusted to him by people in the Highlands,
to the amount of neatly 3(M. chiefly for people in
Glasgow. His body has not yet been found.
Toe young Gentleman whose body was found washed
ashore from the Comet, with C. B. S. marked on his
linen, and surgical insiturnents in his pocket, tut ns out
to be Mr. CHARLES BAILLIE SUTHERLAND, youngest
son of the late Captain G. S. SUTHERLAND, of Uppat,
in the county of Sutherland. He was a most promising
geuttel young man, only in his lath year.
The relatives of the Messrs. Nl'Alister having made
application to the Lord Advocate for his interference
towards raising the wreck of the Comet, his Lordship
instantly, and no,st kindly, complied. Mr. M. N.
M4l)Jnald, W.S. cousin to t!.e deceased, arrived
here on Saturday, with a peremptory order from his
Lordship, addressed to the Sheriff-Depute, for that
purpose: the Judge Admiral also gave similar in-
structions, and everything bring now in readiness, it
is hoped that the first calm weather will enable the
persons emeloyed to rrise the Comet.

HALT PAST ONS P.M.

Our messenger has just returned horn Gouiock,
which he left within this hour, at which time the vessels
on tip! river had just commenced active operations for
raising the Comet. N 1 other bodies had then been found.

INTREPID HUMANITY OF SIR W. HILLARY.

Sir William Hillary, Bart. to whm the public is
chiefly indebted for the formation of a National Institu-
tion for the preservation of lives and property from
shipwreck, lately exhibited an instance of the most
intrepid humanity, in say.ng the passengers and crew
of the City of G!asgow steam•packet, which stranded
on the Isle of Man. The following account of his z a-
Luc exertions is copied from the Monks Advertiser:—
" S r William Hillary having noticed the situation
of the steam boat before dark, hastened down to the
P,er, and perceiving her situation to be extremely dan-
gerous, determined to go off to her assistance. Six
brave fellows, stimulated by Lis example, volunteered
to accompany him. In a bolt called the Nestor, with
great difficulty they succeeded in getting alongside the
steam-boat, which was by this time driving fast towards
the half tide rocks as the tide fl.iwed, and sulking
heavily. As the last resource, Captain C. of the steam-
bcat, asked Sir William if he would undertake the
perilous task of carrying a hAwser to the pier-head ?
The set vice was orie of extreme danger ; however, the
task was readily undertaken, and accomplished. Tile
hawser was made fast to the shore, and a steady strain
hove upon it, as the vessel beat higher with the flawing
tide. This manoeuvre succeeded in drawing her horn
the half tide rocks. Sir William and his brave crew
again pusled off from the shore.
When the Nestor got on board the second time, the
steam-boat was hard and fast on shore. The time aw-
ful: the wind blew a perfect hurricane—the rain con-
tinued to descend in torrents—and the river, swollen to
a deluge, made the sea wild and Woken beyond de-
scription, particularly at the narrow entrance of the ',ar-
bour, where the vessel lily ; while the flashing of the
lightning only made the horrors of the nght, at inter-
vals, more apparent, and served to light the boats to
where the vesxl lay. The only object how was, to save
the passengers, and fifteen of them, men and women,
were crowded into Sir Wil.iam's boat, notwithstanding
the utmost exertions of Captain Carlyle, in assuring
them thi.ir safety depended on their going only a few
a time. When the boat t us loaded, sh off, it was
discovered, that by the violent rolling of the steam-
vessel, the boat's gunwale w as stove in—all the thow.l-
- broken, and the rudder unshipped and lost ; in thi,
helpless situation, drifting in the trough of the :ea, she
%% as driven among the rocks on tr e south side of the har-
bour, swamped by the surf, and the greater part of the
passengers and crew washed out of her. Those that
were driven un shore, though severely brui.ed by the
rocks, rzerted themselves successfully in rescuing the
others still struggling in the waves. Q,ne of the to is
crew, Isaac Voody, distinguished himself greatly. Sit
William three times waded into the .nd each
time saved a fellow-mature; two of ihem, a man and
a woman, N ere abating bar k upper most, and head and
feet ul der water; tit_ woman soon recovered, bin no-
thing but the utmost tit' 'ions b: ought the m in (a Mr.
Ashtielo to life alai.. In the meantime, the True War-
mid 1114 -le three successful trips to the steam boat—had
',ken a second h wser on shire, and had landed meaty-
one pa .ts nget s."
