sides the policeman and the deceased. The policeman requested
Mr. Moginie to fetch a doctor, which he did. The deceased did
not speak. By the time Mr. Taylor, the surgeon, arrived,
several persons were on the spot. '1": he deceased, who was then
alive was taken into the policeman's house, which adjoins that
of Mr. Moginie, and from thence to the George Inn. Some of
the persons coLected asked the policeman what he did it'for ?
and he replied, " I was in danger of my life."
Joseph Moginie, grocer, was then called, and stated that
about half-past ten o'clock, on Saturday night, the policeman
called him out, and asked him who he (the policeman) had got
hold of. Witness immediately knew it was the deceased by his
voice, and came out with his lantern, and saw it was him. The
policeman had got hold of his collar, and the deceased had the
stick produced in his hand, holding it by the smaller end.
When they came up, the deceased was swearing very much,
and said, I will either kill or be killed, and that is all about
it." The policeman was perfectly sober, but the deceased did
not appear to be so. The policeman was very mild and calm,
and endeavoured to persuade him to go home. They then went
away. About twelve o'clock the policeman called witness out
again, saying, " You must come and assist me." Witness
came out with his lantern, and found the deceased holding the
policeman with one hand by his collar, and a stick up in his
other hand. He was swearing, and said he would either mur-
der or be murdered. He appeared to witness to be going to
strike the policeman, and witness ran into his house to get a
stick, but hearing the report of a pistol he returned without
one, and saw the deceased on the ground, apparently lifeless.
The policeman said he had shot him, and should not leave him.
He asked witness to go fur a doctor, and he accordingly fetched
Mr. Taylor directly. By the time that gentleman arrived, se-
vezal persons had come to the spot, and asked who it was, and
they were told it was Shepherd. The deceased did not say any-
thing, but was taken into the policeman's house, and from
thence to the George Inn, where he died about five o'clock
.on
the following morning. When witness came out to assist the
policeman, he had a pistol in his hand, and was using very mild
words to persuade the deceased to leave go of him and go home.
He said, 'I do not care for the pistol, I will either kill or be
killed." When the policeman called to me to aid and assist,
he said that my assistance was necessary, as his life was in
danger, and it was in consequence of that that I went to pro-
cure a stick. The policeman's coat and hat were dirty, as if
he had been recently down on the ground.
Several other witnesses were examined, who deposed to the
violent conduct of the deceased towards the policeman; and the
jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of "Justifi-
able homicide."

LOSS OF THE FINSBURY, OF LONDON, AND
SUFFERINGS OF THE CREW.

(From the Singapore Chronicle of June 27.)

The ship Finsbury, of 365 tons, belonging to the port of Lon-
don, and the property of Messrs. Marjoribanks and Ferris, of
Loudon, sailed from Falmouth, on a whaling voyage to the
South Seas, on the 17th Match, 1831, and arrived at Timor in
October. She got several whales in the neighbouring Straits,
and then stood to the northward for Maratta, but, the weather
being bad, left for the Admiralty Islands, and from thence to
New Ireland, where the ship took in wood and water. From
thence she steered for the Bougainvilles, where more whales
were caught. On the 4th February, 1832, the ship stqcal to the
eastward seven degrees, having gales and cloudy weather, with
no observation, and the vessel running under a close-reefed top-
sail and fore-topmast stay-sail. At six, p.m., she hove-to, with
her head to the S.W., the wind varying to the northward, with
squalls and rain. On the 6th of February she steered E.N.E.,
wind being W. by N., and in the afternoon hove-to with main-
topsail, the ship heading to the W.S. W. At midnight, the wind
veering to the W., wore ship, heading to the N., with tremen-
dous squalls, continued rain, 'and a heavy sea, the observation
by double altitude being 5. 2. south longitude by chronometer
In% 19-. E; On the 9th, at two a.m., the ship struck on a reef
of rocks; the second thump started the mainmast and step, and
the vessel soon tilled and fell on her starboard side. Captain
Duncan immediately ordered the starboard quarter-boat to be
lowered, and put into her the ship's papers, log-book, journals,
sextant, charts, chronometer, some specie, a few clothes, a
cheese, a bag of bread, two compasses, and six men. But the
sea broke the boat from the ship's side, and, the night being
dark, she was not seen again. The captain then ordered the
first mate's boat to be lowered, with a sextant and quadrant,
some bread, water, a few muskets, pistols, cutlasses, and a
little powder. The men in her, however, called out for assist-
ance soon after leaving the vessel; their fate remained uncer-
tain until the next morning ; at daylight the boat was observed
to be stove in, and her crew standing on the reef. The Cap-
tain then seat the second mate's boat with seven hands,
which succeeded in getting ahead of the ship, although suf-
fering some damage. With the object of sending assistance to
the first mate's boat and crew, who were on the reef, the cap-
tain next got out the spare boat, but she was swept from the
ship's side, with three men in her, and broken to pieces. The
three men saved themselves by getting on the reef. The third
mate's boat was then lowered, and sent, with difficulty, with
some bread, a few pieces of beef, and a little water, to the
second mate's boat, which was lying ahead of the ship. The
second mate shortly after made sail to the southward; the third
mate's boat returned to the vessel, and came under-the jib-
boom end. Two muskets, two axes, a boat anchor, a bag of
nails, some powder, and two live pigs, were lowered into her,
and there being nothing further to be done, as the sea was
breaking completely over the ship, the captain and two others,
who alone of the crew remained on board, got down by the
flying jib-boom into the boat, and pulled in search of the other
boats. At noon they fell in with the second mate's boat, and
saw the chief mate's boat endeavouring to find a Passage out
from the reef. The chief mate said his boat had been seriously
damaged, and every thing in her lost, besides three men. The
captain took his own son and another man out of this boat, in
order to lighten her, and two other hands were placed with the
second mate. The three boats were steered to the southward,
having, eleven hands in each. They encountered that day violent
gales and a heavy sea, and at night could not run, but lashed the
oars together and rode by them. Ou the second day the same tre-
mendous weather came, and in the afternooon the second mate
said his boat made much water. His companions hove-to under
their oars, and took every thing. out of the boat, stopped the leak,
and put every thing in her again. At this time the chief mate's
boat tilled, and all the men in her who could swim came to the
captain's boat, which made the number in the latter nineteen,
three remaining in the sunken boat, and one clinging to the
stern of the captain's boat. The captain repeatedly asked the
second mate, Mr. Ward, to take some of the people into his
boat, but he replied that his men would not permit him.—
At day-light they observed the sunken boat with the three men
on it, and the second mate's boat a mile off to the leeward.--
They succeeded in righting the chief mate's boat, without the
assistance of the second mate, and then steered to the south-
ward. On the 13th they saw a small island bearing S. E., and,
anchoring off it at noon, they got a few cocoa-nuts and some
bad water. Soon after it came on to blow, and they were
obliged to remain all night and the following day, which time
was employed in repairing the boats. hey had scarcely
finished this work, when the natives came and endeavoured to
make pi isoners of them, wounding one man. They then sailed
for New Guinea, where they arrived on the 16th, and landed
on a small island in search of water, but without success.—
At this island, three men left the boats. On the following day
they got in with the mainland, and bought water from the na-
tives. At this place, Wm. Dunn, who was sent on shore with
a bucket to get water, was detained by the natives. The boats
then made the best of their way to Carter's Harbour, landed
at several places, and had several engagements with the natives:
On the 12th of March they arrived at Carter's Harbour, and
remained to the 15th, when they left, in order to proceed to
Ternate.. Four days after, Mr. -Davis, the chief mate, left to
return to Carter's Harbour, his boat's mast being sprung. Capt.
Duncan proceeded to Ternate, and, being off the south side of
Mysory, the natives came out and took him and his crew pri-
soners. During the six months of their captivity, they were
conveyed front one place to another, sold and resold—at last,
having been brought to Duray, they had the good fortune to
be redeemed by Captain Russell, of the schooner Success, of
and belonging to Ternate, at which place they arrived on the
17th December, 1832.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET. DECEI4I3ER 12.

There has been more demand for Plantation Sugar during the week,
but holders having met it rather freely, prices have been barely sup-
ported ; the quantity sold amounts to about 1,000 hhds. Small sales
have been made in Bengal at former rates, but in Mauritius and Fo-
reign there is nothing to report. Molasses—the boilers being for the
present well supplied, the late arrivals are going to store. Coffee is
only in.moderate demand, but prices are steady. Nothing done in
Cocoa, Ginger, or Pimento ; and in Pepper, only a trifling sale at 4d.
V' lb. Rice—there is a fair inquiry for good Carolina for export, but
at present the market is without supply ; Bengal is freely taken by
the cleaners at the quotations. Rum—sales continue to be made in
the finer descriptions of Demerara at full rates, but for the middling
qUalities there is no demand ; low proofs are much wanted and con-
tinue scarce.
