THE LOSS OF THE SOLWAY,

The directors of the West Indian Steam-packet Company
have prihlished the following statement as the result of their
inquiry into the circumstances of the loss of the Solway :
After a thorough refit of the ship end her machinery, the
Solway left Falmouth on the 3d of April, and encountered
some stormy weather in crossing the Bay of Biscay. She
arrived at Corunna at noon on the 7th of April, rece►ved 80
tons of coal, and departed again on her voyage the same
evening, passing the light-house about. I() p.m. At this time
it was blowing a fresh breeze at W.S.W., with a ground
swell, the result of the late gale, and a haziness over the laud,
Which, however, was. visible. It appears the captain never
quitted the deck but once, at about 11 o'clock, when the
purser, Mr. Lane, saw him with parallel rulers laying down
a course upon the chart, which he finished by saying,
" There, west, that will do, Lane ; that course carries us
clear of everything." The captain then went on deck,
and Mr. Lane heard' him order the steersman to keep the
ship west. Mr. Lane states that he had previously made two
voyages under Captain Duncan's command, that he was a
sober, careful, vigilant officer, and from the beginning to the
end there appeared no cause to suspect him of any want of
ability or seamanship, but that, on the contrary, in a hurri-
cane in the Gulf of Mexico, in a storm off the 'Western Is-
lands, and on many other occasions, he saw him evince great
coolness, skill, and resolution while commanding the Solway.
Mr. Lane further states that he went on shore at Corunna
with Captain Duncan, came off to the ship with him, dined
with him, and remained walking the deck with him till 11
o'clock ; that Captain Duncan was perfectly sober; that he
never resigned the charge of the ship till she struck, which
was immediately after midnight, and that he alone directed
the course to be steered. In about five minutes, or less,
after the ship struck, Mr. Lane was on the forecastle locking
round, but could distinguish no breakers.
The chief officer was on deck also until 11 o'clock, and
took the bearings of the lighthouse at half-past 10. He
asked the captain how he intended to steer, who said W.N.W.,
which the ship was steering, when the chief officer went to
bed, having to keep the morning watch. Before he went
below, however, he visited the look-out men, and saw them
alert at their post. It had been the practice in former voyages
to station and exercise the men at getting the paddle-box boats
out and in ; but there had not been time to accomplish this
since the ship last quitted Southampton, as there had been
a continued gale of wind, and the crew had been only a few
days o❑ board when the ship was lost. Before the chief
officer went below, the captain said he should keep pretty
close to the land, to avoid the swell outside, produced by the
late gales ; " but," he added, " I shall remain on deck my-
self in charge of the ship."
The second officer had been three voyages in the Solway.
He was on deck from the time the ship passed the lighthouse
till she struck, but the captain alone directed the course.
The second officer visited the two look-out men forward not
seven minntes before the ship struck, and looked a-head him-
self, but could not see the land distinctly then, nor even
after the ship had struck. The captain gave orders to back
the engine, which was done, and the ship came off the
rocks ; but, finding her sinking, the engines were set on
again to run her on the shore, which was prevented by the
collapse of the boiler.
The third officer was below in bed when the accident oc-
curred. Ile immediately assisted in getting over one of the
paddle-box boats, but while so employed the boiler collapsed,
from sudden condensation, occasioned by the water rushing
into the engine-room, and the steam came up so strong
amidships as to drive all the people away. They afterwards
returned and got that boat into the water. There was not
time, however, to get the other paddle-box boat over before
the vessel foundered, owing to the time lost and the alarm
created by the collapse of the boiler.
Three of the quartet -boats, as well as one of the paddle-box
boats, were safely lowered, and these four boats saved 98
persons. Of the 35 persons lost, several, including the cap-
tain, might have easily saved their lives, but could not be
persuaded to go into the boats. _ . .

It appears further that all unite in praising the noble and
devoted conduct of Captain Dunca❑ after the striking of the
ship, and it is manifest that he sacrificed his own life in the
endeavour to preserve the lives of others.

THE INDIGO CROP.—The crop of this reason is very fa.
vourably reported upon by the papers brought by the over-
land mail, and the good accounts received of the appearance
of the plant have induced some parties to estimate the
probable quantity at 110,000 maunds, while others think it
will fall short of that considerably, The Committee of In.
quiry, composed of shareholders, appointed to look into the
transactions which occurred between the late firm of Gilmore
and Co. and the Union Bank, have at length finished their
task, and they have done so to the satisfaction of all parties
interested in the losses of the latter as well as the former
establishment. The report has been published, and it dis-
closes some extraordinary proceedings on the part of the bank,
by which they lost £50,000, instead of £500,000, as it might,
end was reported, to have been; while the investigation has,
on the other hand, expose.d. what one member of the com-
mittee calls fraud in effect, it not in intention, on the part of
Gilmore and Co., in procuring advance on goods which they
never held, and rem9ving what goods were pledged to the
bank without authority. The secretary has, of course, had
ll the blame of the losses thrown upon his shoulders, and
,his, we think, with too much severtt}7; for the directors,
under whom he acted, should have had their moiety of the
Alum. The supreme government has suspended the opera.
Lions of public lotteries, pending a reference to the court of
directors. It is stated that the lottery has been made pro-
fitable to the company under its late management. It has
been abandoned for its immoral tendency. The Indian press
has passed a general vote of censure on these nuisances.
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT GREENWICH.—Oar Sunday
a great sensation was occasioned at Greenwich, by the an-
nouncement that Geo. Smith, Esq. (one of the magistrates
; for the county of Kent) had committed suicide by hanging
Himself. It appears, that Mr. Smith attended divine service
en Sunday morning, and returned home about one o'clock,
leaving Mrs. Smith to receive the Sacrament. On being let
, in by one of the servants, he walked up stairs to his own
bed-room and shut the door. Mrs. Smith returned at two
o'clock, and expressed some alarm on hearing that her hus-
band had been in his bed-room so long. She and the ser-
vant hastened up stairs, when they found the door locked,
and could get no answer. A man named Chapel was
eromptly employed to mount to the window by means of a
ladder, and found Mr. Smith hanging by the neck at the
eed-post, with his hands tied with a siik handkerchief. Cha-
rred cut the unfortunate gentleman down, but, though not
cold, he seemed quite dead. Mr. Kemble, surgeon, de-
posed :—" I have attended the deceased professionally.
l'here were circumstances that induced me to think that he
night to be held under restraint, but he was of so tractable
Ind amiable a disposition that it would have been cruel to
have prevented him from walking alone. He bad a delusion
in his mind that he had made an incorrect return for the
ncome tax. lie was himself one of the commissioners.
l'he deceased has long been of infirm mind. A man atten-
Jed him generally, by way of precaution, and deceased was
ware of the object of it, and appeared grateful for attentions
mud care. The deceased was never confined. He had been
sway, and returned on Friday. I
him on Saturday, and
hen be seemed in deep gloom as to the income-tax return.
Icons idered
"this an infirmity of mind, and clearly indicative
f insanity.
Col. Feed tendered evidence,
but the coro-
ier considered it unnecessary,
and the jury immediately re-
:urned a verdict of " Temporary insanity,"

‘,VggATHAMPstIiA.b.----WHOLRBALt SIILEta B'tlsAJANti.
During the past few days several ewes and lambs belonging
to a respectable farmer in this neighbourhood, Mr. Dicken-
son, of the Cross farm, have been stolen under most myste-
rious circumstances ; for though taken away night after
night, not the slightest trace of sheep or thieves could be
obtained. Mr. Dickenson on Sunday morning last, having
hr that time lost no fewer than twelve ewes and eleven lambs,
proceeded to give information to Captain Robertson, the
the chief constable of police, who immediately himself took
the case in hand. The chief constable proceeded to Cross
farm, and the result of his exertions has been that all the
missing sheep have been recovered, and two men are in cus-
tody for the offence, one of whom we deeply regret to learn,
is a son of the party robbed. It appears that Frederick
Dickenson, the prisoner alluded to, sold the ewes and lambs
to a man named Charles Young, residing at Codicote-bottom,
and the latter drove them to Hertford market, and sold
them to a dealer named Deshorough, from whom they were
taken by one of Captain Robertson's officers in Hitchin
market on Tuesday. We are given to understand that the
unfortunate youth, Frederick Dickenson, has confessed
everything relating to the transaction.—Bedford paper of
the 6th.

REMARKABLE CHARACTER.—AIexander Innes, who has
resided in Queensferry for many years, died on the Ith inst.
at the very advanced age of 104. He was born in the parish
of Duffas, Morayshire : but unfortunately the date of his
birth has not been recorded in the parish register ; yet, from
every circumstance being taken into consideration, it seems
he had reached the years which few are permitted to see.
He had a distinct recollection of the events that preceded
the battle of Culloden—was in the neighbourhood of an af-
fray with the Highlanders on their march thither—and often
spoke of a horse on which Prince Charles rode, as being an
object of particular care among his juvenile companions.
He had been present also in the stirring times of the Irish
rebellion, and had witnessed some of the attrocities of that
dreadful period. Often had he proceeded with cattle from
the North of England, and was well acquainted with that
trade, and the persons engaged in it. With a change of
times, he had been engaged in many pursuits ; he had been
a road contractor, a farm servant, and had his share in the
demoralising trade of illicit distillation. For the last twenty
years and upwards he followed the humble trade of a hawker
of fish. Old Sandy Innes and his ass were known to the
whole country side, and there were few doors he knocked at
without finding a purchaser, and few, who had the means,
who refused him the cheer his aged frame required. He had
walked to and from Hopetoun House the day before his
death. The Earl of Hopetoun, whose sudden death has oc-
casioned a great sensation, was a kind benefactor to the old
man, and at his departure for London had left orders that he
should not be forgotten. He was civil and grateful for any
kindness shown to him. He occupied a solitary dwelling,
his aged companion having died many years ago; but there
were those who consulted the old man's comfort while alive,
and many neighbours accompanied his remains to their
last resting place in the churchyard of Queensferry.—Edin-
burgh paper.
