PmAcY.-We find by the British packet
of Fay 22d, the following account ofthc
plundering Of the brig Prompt from Liv-
erpool, bound to Buenos Ayres, by pi-
ratical vessel:
On the 18th of April, in lat. %, lon.
90 80 w. ut 8, A. NJ. saw sail astcrn,
apparently q schooner brig; on her ap-
proach she was made out to be large
two masted Lugger.-About 10 A. M.
being distant from us about 3 miles, she
fired gun and showed French colors.
We then hoistcd ours and kept our
course. About ii A. NJ. when a quar-
ter of mile distant from us she again
fired, the shot struck the larboard main
chains carrying away part of the chains
and channel link; we then hove too, she
hailed us to send boat. On its arrival
along side the Lugger, it was ordered
back to bring the captain and ships pa
pers. The captain went on board, when
he and the boats crew were detained, two
boats were then sent on boardt the Prompt,
full of men armed with knives s,cutlasses,
pistols, &c. all hands were ordered be-
ioW anu DclllS uelcilcCicsS, tiiiS oiuoi
was complied with. They then demand
ed money, watches, trinkcts, &c. with
dreadful menaces; the demand was COM
piled with. All the passengers suffered
considerable loss, but principally MIR. ID.
q. de Castro, who besides losing his
gold watch, seals &c. was robbed of fif-
ty doubloons. They afterwards plum
dered such parts of the ships stores and
cargo as they fancied,t the extent ofwhich
is not yet ascertained; s. broke open all
the lockers in the captains state room,
taking therefrom several parcels of pa
pers together with his gold watch.-A-
bout 3 o'clock, p. NJ. the captain and
boats crew came back. The pirates then
left us without further maltreatment than
as above stated, and the pirate Lugger
steered NNW course. She appeared
to be about $50 tons register, and full of
men, Spaniards, French and Portuguese;
it is probable that she had plundered
many vessels lately, from her having on
board a number of chronometers, quad
rants, seXtants, &c.

To the Editor of the Virginia Herald:
Sir-An exposition of the nature and
effects of the great and extraordinary
Comet of 1892, from some Of your learn
Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1830-07-21

ed astronomical correspondents, is ear
nestly desired by the writer Of this note
who has ascertained from authentic
source that one of those immense globes
Of fire will pass, on its return from the sun,
within $4,000 leagues from the earth,
and display (being 5000 miles nearer to
us than the moon, consequently, diam
eter greater than any which have ever
appeared before.
Should this awful visiter of light and
fire approach us within the distance cal
culatcd, the light of the sun and moon
will not be visible, and the heat could
hardly be endured on the earth during
its continuance. AS the object of the
writer is only to be better informed he
hopes the subject will meet with share
of your attention. His name is with the
Postmaster at this place.
We found the foregoing in Poulson' $
American Daily Advertiser of this morn
ing. If it should circulate extensively in
its present form, it will spread much a.
larm.
Our knowledge Of the nature of COM
cts is very imperfect: but from all the OBJ
servations that have been made, there is
reason to believe that they are bodies
which possess very little density. One
ofthem passed a number of years, among
the satellites of Jupiter without IN the
smallest degree, deronging their motions.
The approach of comet to the earth,
may therefore, be regarded without alarm.
We know not if the calculation of the
Virginia writer Of the ncarncss to which
this comet will approach the earth, is
correct or not: but his assertion that its
close approach will rise the temperature
of our atmosphere TO degree which will
be uncomfortable, is altogether hHpothe-
sis. Comets possess light that they
possess heat also, is a mere matter of IN
ference. il is the CON lecture ofIIerschell
that the Sun itself is a cold body.-PhH.

D;scrediiable.-A letter received by a
gentleman in this town from his friend in
Maryland, has been shown to us, in which
it is stated that a number of the inhabi-
tants of ROCKVILLE, in that state, burnt
the President Of the U. S. in cfligy, on
the first of last month, in consequence of
his veto on the Frcdericktown road bill.
We understand similar outragcs have
been committed in several parts of Ken
lucky, for his refusal to sign the Bill maxi
ing appropriations to the Maysyille Turn
pike Company.
In all these discrcditablc proceedings,
it is stated that many ofthc former friends
of Gen. Jackson took the lead. Doubt
less both parties participated. Such mea-
surcs, let who will be concerned in them,
meet our decided disapprobaiion. The

From the N. Y. Jour. Of Commerce, 10Th.

The CRops-An intelligent gentleman
who has just returned from tour up the
Western Canal and to the state of Ohio,
found every where the wheat crop to be
the all engrossing topic. On his outward
journey he heard many apprehensions
expressed on account ofthe cold and wet.
But on his return, these were superseded
by confident anticipations of bountiful
crop. The harvest had no where COM
menced, but the ripening fields began to
invite the rcapers.
From VERA CRUz.-Capt Collins, in
ship Virginia, states that advices were
received mt Vera Cruz on the 2lst June,
of the defeat of the government army
near Acapulco which resulted in the cap
ture, by the forces under Garrcro and
Mincz, of Gen. Bravo and Col. Barta-
bosso. Capt C. adds, that although the
official government papers say nothing
on the subject, the information may be
implicitly relied on Various opinions
were expressed as to the issue of the bat
tie, but all agree in the loss of De Bravo,
which was generally believed was taken
by stratagem. The affairs of Govern
ment would remain unchanged.
Resusciioiion Of persons apparently kill
ed By Gghiaing.-Wc notice in the pa
pers several instances of late occurrence,
where persons were restored by throwing
cold water on them. One of these ca
scs happened in Paris, in this state, where
man was struck down, and to all appear
ancc killed. Ills wife, rccollccting to
have read in the papers some account of
the efficacy of cold water in similar in
stances, made trial of it, and found that
on the afiusion of the first bucketiull, he
began to move, and after few rcpctit-
ions was completely restored. The wri-
ter, who relates this case, says, off dur
ing the recovery the pulse is slow, bleed
largely Mt the arm" We think no
medical man would give this advice,
Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1830-07-21

but rather recommend friction, external
warmth and internal stimulants.
. Another case is related in the Shaw
neetown Gazette, in which the patient
apparently dead, was restored in about
thirty or forty minutes, by copious affu-
sions of cold water on the breast and face +.
This case was so violent that the cloth
ing of the patient was rent in pieces, his
shoes perforated, his hair singed, his skin
broken, and so scorched in several plac-
es as to give the appearance of an extern
sive burn. Few cases, we should think,
could appear more hopeless, and yet the
means employed with due perseverance
proved ellectual.
From these and other instances we
should learn, never to despair of life from
the effects of lightning, however hopeless
the cases may appcar.-N Y. Constelia-

Lorenzo Dow.-The most eccentric of

which he made ten years ago. We arc
informed that he delivered a discourse at
Pleasant Valley last Monday, the pcro-
ration of which was as follows: "Friends,
Pvc preached in town and country, in

Mosi Acful and Distressing. We
learn that most extraordinary and mel
ancholy event took place on Monday last,
by which the settlement of Swampscutt,
in Lynn, was deprived of one of its most
valuable and respected inhabitants. Mr..
Joseph Blaney went out in the bay for
the purposes of fishing in one of their
small fishing schoonors-alter the vessel
came to anchor in the shoal water off
Scituatc, Mr.. Blaney took the dorcy, and
went alone about half mile distant from
the schooner to fsh-hc had been absent
several hours, when he was observed
waving his hat and calling for aid, and
apparently disabled in one of his arms.
A boat Immediately went to his assistance
from another schooner at anchor near
the same place, but she had proceeded
but short distance, when large fish,
supposed Shark, was seen lying ath-
wart the dorey amidships-he however
was soon clear Of the boat, and Mr.. Bla-
ncy was still seen to be safe on board
her. But before the boat which went to
his assistance had reached him, the Shark
renewed his attack, the boat instantly
disappeared, and the water appeared in
a foam. Nothing more was seen of Mr..
Blaney, but the boat re-appcared, and
was picked up together with his hat, a
small firkin, SC. The boat was uninjur-
ed, excepting that her tholc pins were all
broken, and there were scratches about
her as if made by the rough skin of a
Shark. There was no doubt amongst
the crews of the two vessels who Witness
cd the whole scene, that Mr.. Blaney
was destroyed by the Shark. He was
SO years of age, and has left wife and
six children. The sensation created at
Swampscutt by this melancholy event we
are informed, is Unprecedented Salem
