den, Penwell, of this port, 52 days from St. Übe's. On Tues-
day last (the 31st ult.) off the Capes of the Delaware, fell in with
the schooner Only Son, Fuller, from Kingston (Mass.) bound to
Alexandria, and took from her Captain Gibbs and,crew of the
schooner Augustus, of Falmouth, which vessel had been run
down by the Only Son, on the afternoon of the 25th of October.
Captain Gibbs has furnished us with the following particulars
of this distressing event :—The schooner Augustus, Rufus Gibbs
master, sailed from Boston on the '274 October, bound to Phila-
delphia, with a valuable cargo consisting of 15 tons of quicksilver,
wine, &c. valued at 20,000 dollars ; and in the afternoon of the
25th October, in a squall, was run foul of by the schooner Only
Son, Fuller, of Kingston (Mass.) and which stove in the bows,
and ripped up the deck ; when, finding she was sinking, Capt.
Gibbs and crew jumped oe board the Only Son, and the schooner
went down a few minutes after. In the cabin there were four
passengers, viz. T. Armstrong, his wife, and daughter, with her
infant child, which was born on board the schooner the night
previous, who all went down with the schoouer, although every
exertion was made to get them from the cabin. They were emi-
grants from Carlisle, in England; and were going to Philadel-
phia, where the father said he had two sons living. The Only
Sou was considerably injured, having her bowsprit unshipped,
the rigging and stays carried away, and other damage. On the
31st ult. fell in with the Aon Gadsden, and was received on
board. Capt. Gibbs and crew return their thanks to Capt. Dun-
well, for his kind and generous treatment to them while onboard
his vessel.

Wednesday, four fishermen lost their lives in the
Solway Frith, near to Bowness, whilst coming to-
wards the shore with their nets. The unfortunate
sufferers we; e in a small open boat, which sunk
about half a mile from the shore, owing to its being
overladen, and to the tide flowing in upon them.—
Their cries for help were heard, but no assist-
ance could be rendered them in their perilous situa-
tion. Their names are as follow :—John Pattinson,
Richard Pattinson, Jacob Bell, acrd William Bell.—
The two Pattinsens are brothers, but the Bells are
not related.
Saturday, J. Goodrich, a fisherman, 70 years of
age, and resident of Hammersmith, was charged, at
the Mansion-House, by Ruth, the Water-Bailiff's
Assistant, with fishing with unlawfulnets. Ruth,
however, in detailing his complaint, stated many
facts of the veteran, which would have done honour
to one in a higher station. Several years ago, he was
engaged in one of his midnight enterprizes, when he
heard the cries of a child on the bank. He instantly-
rowed to the spot, and saw a girl about five years
old, who said she had lost her parents, that she knew
not where)they lived, and that she knew no one else..
Jack took her home, and, with consent of his wife,
brought her up among his own. She is since respect-
ably married, and proves that Jack's bounty was not
misapplied. A short time ago, two boys were swim-
ming in the Thames, when they suddenly disap-
peared. Several persons were on the bank, but no
one seemed disposed to venture his life to save theirs,
when the veteran plunged boldly in, and brought
them safe on shore. Mr. Howell, the Water-Bailiff,
in consideration of these and other acts of humanity
detailed by Mr. Ruth, would not press for the pe.
nalty. He could not, however, but observe, that the
culprit was the most destructive enemy of the finny
brood of any on the River. The LORD MAYOR ad-
vised him in future to conform to the terms of the
Act of Parliament. He would not, he said, in the
present instance, enforce the penalty, but the nets
must be destroyed, which was done accordingly.
As three sailors were on their return last night,
between seven and eight o'clock, from Brandenburgh
House, to their ship, which was laying off Rother-
hithe, the man who was paddling let his oar fall
overboard : in his endeavour to reach it, he fell into
the Thames, and was unfortunately drowned.
In a northern English town, a few weeks ago, an
honest Crispin, who officiates as sexton, was thus ad-
dressed by his better half:—" Thomas, we should
have a goose, everybody is getting one." " A goose,'
indeed! replied the husband, " an' has'nt buried a
living soul these three weeks I"
A man has been apprehended on suspicion of mur.
dering the travelling charts= near Dumfries, and is
lodged in Lanark Jail.
