MISCELLANEOUS.

LOSS OF FHE OGLE CASTLE.

On the morning of the 3d November, the Ogle Castle, private trader, Capt. Weynton, from Bombay, with a cargo chiefly of cotton, was lost on the western extremity of the Goodwin Sands, and all on board perished. Great efforts were made by the boatmen from the shore to save the people, but the violence of the gale, and the tremendous surge, prevented their approach nearer than 100 yards of the wreck. The north sea was strewed with the cargo; inany bales of silk and cotton have been picked up. The crew were thirty-two in number; it is not known how many, or if any, passengers were on board. Capt. Weynton was reckoned an excellent seaman. A spectator on board a Jamaica ship in the Downs could perceive through a good glass the consternation on deck, when the vessel fell on her beamends. The persons on board who clung to the stumps of the masts and poop, were washed off by degrees, and the boatmen were at length obliged to quit the scene.

WILD INDIAN.

A native of Sumatra applied to the magistrate of Union Hall, on the 17th November, to obtain some money due to him by a person named Moon, owner of a

from the yard of Messrs. Wigram and Green, at Blackwall; Miss Bonham, daughter of Gen. Bonham, gave the name to the vessel. On the 12th, from the same yard, was launched the Abercrombie Robinson (named after the Hon. Director), a fine vessel of 1,300 tons, The name was given to it by Miss Innes, daughter of the captain of the vessel.-On the 26th, the George the Fourth, largest class, built for the East-India Company's service, was launched from the dock-yard of Messrs. Pitchers, Northfleet. The ceremony of naming the vessel was performed by Campbell Marjoribanks, Esq., chairman of the Hon. Company.

BURMESE STATE CARRIAGE.

This rich and gorgeous vehicle is now exhibited to British curiosity in London. It is gilt and studded with a multitude of precious stones. The body is an oblongsquare, supported by dragons exquisitely carved; the wheels are light; and the roof is in stages like a rich pagoda. The length of the carriage is 13 feet 7 inches; the pole 15 feet. The width is 6 feet 9, and the extreme height 19 feet 2. The body is nearly square, composed of three pannels on each side, subdivided into small squares of transparent rhinoceres horn, with convex glass mirrors at the corners. bottom is of cane work; the springs are of iron gilt. There are glass sashes, like our own carriages; the glass is nearly equal to European. The human figures which decorate the vehicle are the worst executed part of it. The seat is extremely rich, and ornamented with diamonds. The toul ensemble is highly striking and magnificent. This Rath was captured at Tavoy, and is supposed to be worth about £10,000.

VACANCY IN THE DIRECTION.

The

Mr. Daniel has disqualified, by sale of his stock, which leaves a vacancy in the direction. Mr. Farquhar and Mr. Henry Alexander are mentioned as candidates. Mr. Daniel was out by rotation in April.

SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF

LITERATURE.

A society under this title has recently been established in London, with a view of obviating difficulties of authors in publishing their works, by purchasing copywrights at such liberal prices as may secure to the writers nearly the whole of the profits accruing from their labours. It was at first intended that the funds should be raised on the plan of a joint stock company, and a considerable sum was subscribed; but it has since been deemed advisable to raise the capital in the form of donations and of loans payable by instalments, bearing legal interest only, which divests sub

scribers of responsibility beyond the amount of their subscriptions. The profits, after defraying the interest and expenses, will, in the first instance, constitute a sinking fund for repayment of the borrowed part of the capital.

All pecuniary engagements of the society will be confined to payments in cash: hence considerable savings will accrue from discounts.

H. R. H. the Duke of Sussex is the patron of the society, which ranks amongst its presidents and directors, several persons connected with India. Col. Nugent (who is probably well known to most of our readers) is the chairman; and we are authorized by this gentleman to state, that this society is totally different from the plans now afloat for the employment of capital; that it is meant by the aid of loan and donation, to execute the object detailed in the prospectus (from whence the foregoing account is taken); and that no person, except a clerk, belonging to the establishment, derives from it any pecuniary emolument.

SCOTTISH MILITARY AND NAVAL ACADEMY.

Mr. Noble has been appointed teacher of Oriental languages, and Mr. Lees teacher of mathematics, to the above new institution, lately opened at Edinburgh.

LOSS OF THE MULGRAVE CASTLE.

Extract of a letter, dated Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, Sept. 7.

"On Saturday evening, soon after nine o'clock, the ship Mulgrave Castle, Ralph, 450 tons, from London, bound to Madras and Bengal, unfortunately got on shore near the Moulin Battery, at Green Point. Early on Sunday morning she bulged, and was confpletely filled with water. Owing to the assistance received from the shore, and the weather continuing fine, the greater part of the cargo will be saved; but it is feared the hull must become a total wreck: the night was calm and starlight. The loss of the vessel is attributed to the strong in-setting of the current, and a sudden haziness coming on, which caused a deceptive appearance in the distance of the light-house. A few minutes before the ship struck she was in fourteen fathoms water, the captain at the gangway attending to the leadsmen, and all the hands on board looking out."The crew and passengers were all saved.

THE JULIANA STEAM-VESSEL.

The Juliana, free-trader, of 600 tons, expressly fitted for passengers, is advertized to sail for India about the end of De'cember. Through the use of steam power occasionally, a confident expectation is held out that she will reach her destination within 80 days.
