LOSS OF THE NEPTUNE.

A friend who left NeMburgh on Thurs
day evening, has obligingly furnished us
with the following statement respecting the
late distressing accident in the tlighiands:-
"Thc Sloop Neptune sunk IN the High
lands, has been raised, and arrived at New
burgh last evening, at SIX O'Clock. Inc re-
main, Of seven women and two children were
found in the cabin. 1t is supposed, that
there were 10 or II women and or 10 men
i'll tho cabin, when the sloop went down but
as she went to the bottom with great force,
bow foremost, with the cabin doors open,
the other persons in the cabin must nave
floatcd out, and remain on thc bottom OF the
river.
"Mr. Mulock was on the quarter deck
when the sloop was going down. He saw,
through the window, the awful mental slt-
fcring in the cabin, and heard the screams
of women and children for help, and lost for
a moment all thought Of his situation, and
undertook to break away the grating which
protects the window, to let them out. lIc
had partially succeeded, when the vessel
went down. Some OF the grating got fast in
his clothes and lie went down with her
She struck the bottom with dreadful crash
He, by an extraordinary effort, eHtricatcd
himselfby tearing of part of his vest which
was fast, came to the top OF the water, and
was finally saved"

DARING EFFRONTERY.

.Ne7c York, DeceM6er a.
We are informed that well-drcssed grH
Ma'an stepped into bookstore in Broadway
few days since, and after ceIyersng wit!
the proprietor for few minutes, took up an
elegant work, and politely babe him good
morning. The bookseller, supposlng The
man had previously been at the store and
purchased the volumes of another person,
permitted him to depart without molestation
and has since not heard from him.
Another act Of etfrontery was related to
US this morning. One of the fancy in passing
down Maidcn-lanc, saw hat, hanging upon
peg at the door of Mr.. Ford, and per-
ceiving it to be considerably better than his
own which was the worse for wear, concld-
ed to act upon the maxim, that exchange
is no robbery; and with all convenient des-
path, put on the new hat, leaving his own to
be brushed up, and went off. But Mr.. Ford
did not like the bargain, and although he is
an elderly gentleman, quickened his pace so
much, as to overtake Corinthian Tom, be-
fore the beaver was yet warm upon his
head, or its CLASSY nap at all rlffied. The
rogue, promising with tears in his eyes never
to make another $o(auly bargain, was permit
ted to escape, without dcffing his beaver to
the police.
Another trick was played at a dry goods
store. 4 donna wanted lace. She was
\ pleased with the samples, and sooud call
again, requesting the favour of the number
of the store.--While the clerk was busy il
making out card, the lady struggled the
lot into her indispensable, and took French
leave, the necessity of the card or OF a secont
call having been superseded. Statesman.

The late Rev. Mr.. Neil, one of the min

walk in the afternoon, saw an old woman
sitting bv the road side, evidently much in

in the mud. He Immediately recognised her
to be one of his parishioners. "Will you
