      OnSaturday ] . ist , aJmostinimeaiatejyafter thepro- 1 wnatitm of Parliament , the Queen and Prince Albert left Bucking ham Palace for Woolwich , where at five u ' clo ck she embarked on board the Royal yacht for Antwerp on her visit to Germany . The Queen looked remarkably well and was attired in a Tuscan cottage bonnet trimmed with primrose-coloured ribbon , purple shot silk dress and a black silk shawl . Tiiei ' rince carried his white hat ( Immortalised in jtorQiu ' Iiis band ' to tiie barge . He wore a black smtout avid French fcvey trousers , and light drab mapper . A goodly muster of sight seekers and foals vi-rcprcsent , whoof course annoyed the poor Queen with their imncrtmentstaringandsilly chatter . At

      half-3 « astfivc precisely the "Royal yacht east off her moorings and proceeded at slow speed down the river . The yacht anchored in the lower Seav Reach , nearly opposite Southend , on Saturday -night , and at an early hour on Sunday morning sailed for the Scheldt . The Queen is expected to be abicntaboutfour weeks . How wc arc to get on in the meantime goodness gracious only knows ! Peter Borthwick is in a sad flurry , and expects nothing else but that President Polk , i > - „ - ~ . J ~ " « iiville , or King Dan , will be snugly located at Buckingham palace before her Majesty can return . Peter thinks the accident to the crown ( which the stupid Duke of Argyle let fall out of his fingers ) is ominous of some frightful calamity . Thank heaven there is no Richard in the way—the Duke of Cumberland is safe in Hanover , otherwise Peter would insist

      upon having the lords justices to take care of the royal "babies . " Astwehp . —The Royal yacht reached Antwerp on Sunday evening after a tempestuous pabsage . The Toyagers , however , did not disembark till the next morning ( Monday ) , when the Queen and her husband enjoyed the usual reception . The Royal party proceeded immediately to the Liege railway , of course attended by a vast number of people . AtthcMalines and Lourain stations large numbers of people had assembled .. Describing the stoppage at the Louvain station , the Times correspondent says , " The people received the Royal travellers with the customary welcome The quiet courtesy of the people seemed , however , not enough for a travelling Englishman who happened to be among them . He setup at once the national hurrah , or rather , in his fashion , the

      ' hooray / and tried , by acting as fugleman , to induce the rest to join . Bat the chorus was very faint . The train stopped , however , for a few moments , and when it was once more in motion our Englishman again setup his cheer , waving his hat most energetically . By this time the people had entered into 'the humour of it , ' and they joined him with a cheer as hearty as could hare been produced by any given number of John Bulls . The fugleman seemed intensely delighted at the result of his feat . " What an assl We are sorry the poor annoyed Queen did not pull this donkey ' s ears . Liege " wasasccne of great excitement" After a few minutes ' stoppage the train praeeeded on to Aix- ! a-ChapclIe . _ Comb-ve , August 12 . —After leaving : Liege the

      next place arrived at was v crviers , near the Prussian frontier . According to the : Times hero " there was a grand sensation . " Here " the King and Quscn of the Belgians , who had accompanied her Majesty thus far , " took their leave of the travellers and turned about for Brussels . The nest station ' at which the train stopped was Habersthal , the point at which the Prussian territory commences . Here the Crown Prince of Prussia , made his appearance immediately on the arrival of the train . He went into the Royal carriage . The characteristic enthusiasm of the Prussians was exhibited here also . The cheering was deafening . " At Aix-la-ChapeI ! e " a similar scene was presented , but on a larger scale . The Prussian troops lined the station , in which also there was a

      very large assemblage of Herrcn and Franca . Here the King of Prussia was waiting . " Here too there was " fireing j of salutes , " " triumphal arches , " " immense multitudes , " " enthusiastic cheering , " & c . Here the Queen visited the tombof Charlemagne , in the Cathedral . Theparty returned to the station at about a . quarter to five" o ' clock * having been away altogether three hours . In a few minutes the train was again in motion . At a small place , called Langcrweide , the train stopped for a few mininVs , and again at Dfiren , " where there was a great display of Prussian beauties , troops , music , laurels , and enthusiasm . " But , according to the Times , " gratifying as the reception of her Majesty by tha Prussians must have already been , Cologne presented a still more striking spectacle . As the spires of the ancient city became visible in the distance , so also were there sums that its vast population

      were on the stir . When the tram neared the station , a dense mass of people were to be seen , who had collected there to view her . Majesty ' s arrival . There were triumphal arches , festoons , bands of music , and above all , troops in abundance—in fact , the same scene which had been enacted at almost every station on the way down was now repeated , but on a gigantic scale . The whole population of thw city seemed to have ! poured ouCso dense aud so enormous was the crowd . " The royal party left the railway for the private carriages , which were drawn up outside the station , and drove off at once to the station ofthe Bonn Railway- To da this they had to pass through the principal Wt of the city of Cologne . A short time on the Bonn Railway broug ht the travellers to the Bmhl station / close to the palace of the King of Prussia , " where her Majesty arrived soon after in safety , in the presence of multitudes , who gave her a right hearty welcome .

      The Bkazujas Pirates.—It Was Expected Th...

      The BkazujaS Pirates . —It was expected that these unhappy men would have been executed this dav ( Friday ) in front of the county gaol , and steps had already been taken by the proper authorities . On Monday morning , however , a communication from the learned judge who tried the prisoners wasreceived bv the high sheriff , respiting the execution of the sentence until Friday , the 5 th September . This delav has been granted in order that the important legal questions which were raised by the learned counsel for the prisoners , on the occasion of the trial , may undergo further consideration by the whole of thejudges . Yesterday a communication was received from the authorities , " announcing a further respite of the sentence until the 23 th of November , which -will he the last day of Michaelmas Term . - during which the ease will be considered . When the tidings of

      their respite werecommanicated to the prisoners , they all received it with gratitude and delight , except the imperturbable Serva . This man ( the captain of the Echo , a schooner of seventy tons only , with 431 slaves stowed and nacked in it ) has stood alike unmoved by the terrors of this world and the world to come . For threedavs , thoughsmitten with a fouland loathsome disease * he underwent the ordeal of the trial without manifesting theslightest sigh of uneasiness . He received the doom of death without emotion , and he has since n-icctcd the consolations of religion and the hblv offices ofthe priest with a cold and bitter sneer . He received unmoved the merciful declaration ofthe high sheriff ; and turned away with as much apathv as if the message of prolongeu life and rekindling hope had been the most ordinary matter which a heedless man could impart to an indifferent one . —Exeter Gazette . August 9 .

      Alaiuiixg Fjbe i . v Osford-stiieet . — On Wednes day ni ght , between the hours of eleven and twelve , a fire of ' rather an alarming character broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr . James Nunn , iooierand silk mercer , situate at tfo . 217 , Oxford-Street , near Portman-street . It originated in the front shop , a spacious compartment filled with costly articles , and owing to the combustible mlure o f the stock the flames very speedily had obtained a firm told , thev having , in less than five minutes , communicated to each side of theshop and the two windows , and they were ascending with jrreat rapidity up the staircase and through " the fanlight . The firemen , however , were enabled to arrest the further prowess of the flames just ? s they were entering the showrooms on theiirst floor . * Before , however , the fire was entirely extinguished , the principal portion ofthe costly stock in the shop was destroved and the building severely damaged . The loss , at the lowest calculation , must amount lo several hundred pounds .

      CiUHO-V 10 IXXKEEPERS AND EeEhSEIXEuS . --Owing to the numerous robberies which have lately been committed by prostitutes , Mr . Jonathan Leech , chief constable , Las issued orders to his deputies and specials io bring before the magistrates all publicans and beei'te'icrs who may lie found ' -knowingly »'•** : besring Ic ^ d and disorderly females .

      The Late Fatal Collision On Tiiv Lokdon ...

      THE LATE FATAL COLLISION ON TIIV LOKDON ANDBIRMINGIU M LlWAY ^ AworaxE D Ijcuesi ox iheBodt of 1 & Guars ' UEA > .-Un Monday forenoon this inquiry was SEdin S ^ r * . * > revIous «™ K 2 , v 2 sembled \ m the first instance at the Euston station where they were afforded an opportuuity of inspect ! ingtheremams of the broken carriages and trucks , . thejury having answered to their names , proceeded n company with the coroner to view the spot where the accident occurred . They next examined the signals at the bridge , and questioned the officer oh duty as to the mode of working them under different circumstances . Subsequently they proceeded to the mouth ot the tunnel , where the same course cf examination of the officer on duty and inspection ofthe signal was adopted . Returnum to tlm m-hl ™ « „ . „„

      her of carriages and trucks were placed upon the line in the exact position of those to which the accidentoccurred , the result being that the jury were enabed very cicarl y to understand the manner in winch the collision took place . On the return of tbejury to the inquest room , Air . John Thomas Grifhths said he was one of the house surgeons at University Hospital , and saw deceased immediately after his admission . On examination witness found that the left leg below the knee was dreadfully lacerated and the bone much crushed . A consultation was head , and Air . Listen having pronounced amnutation

      necessary , tiie operation was performed by Mr Morton lorn-hours after admission . The deceased went mi well for three or four days , but on Mondav last Ins countenance became anxious , the constitutional system began to weaken , and hegraduall y sank , and died era the morning of the ' 5 th instant . Witness had since , by direction of the coroner , made a post mortem examination of the body , which discovered extensive mortification of the muscles of the left leg , extending some distance up the thigh . " .--Witness considered the immediate cause of death to have been exhaustion arising from excessive irritation of the stump . The deceased had been a very free liver , and that might account for the accident having terminated fatally . Dad the leg not been amputated

      he might not have lived twenty-four hours . Witnes . asked deceased no questions on the subject of . Hi accident , because he felt it necessary that he shoulde be kept as quiet as possible ; but he heard . him say on one occasion that when the collision occurred he was silting in the ' carriage with his back to the engine , and that the shock forced him forward against the opposite scat by which his knee was crushed . Witness did not hear Mr . Dean express any opinion on the subject of the accident . The Coroner : Have you any doubt that the injuries deceased sustained by the accident caused his death ? "Witness : None whatever . —John Halsc was beie introduced : He said , I am a police constable ( No . 95 ) , in the service of the London and Birmingham , Railway ,

      and reside at No . 2 , Ferdinand-place , Hampsteadroad . Iwas on daty at tlic " crossing" near Chalk Farm Bridge , on the morning of the 29 th ult . I was there when thccollision between the trains took place , and was the first to run to the carriage in . which Mr . ' Lean was . It was the . third carriage from the fender attached to the engine of the up . train , -IM not know the number of that engine . ^ gen tleman connected with the company here stated that the engine was numbered 91 . ) * The spot where the collisionitqok place was a short distance upon the London \ side of tins Chalk Farm Bridge . The carriages of the up train were upontbe rails when the accident occurred ; and a portion ofthe luggage trucks were ' upon the " crossing . " ilr . Dean wastafcen out ofthe carriase

      about five minutes after the accident and conveyed upon a truck to the Euston station anil thence to the hospital . The collision took place about three minutes after five o ' clock . I had .-. fears . there would be an accident as soon as I saw tlic incoming train coming up . The fog was so thick at this time that I could not see more than five or six yards before mc . The incoming train is called the Liverpool and Lancashire mail . I was on duty at the " crossing , " and it was my duty to " shunt" the luggage trucks from the " sidings" onto the main line . I had been on duty about ten hours and ahalf when the accident occurred . Directly after I first saw the engine of the up train it struck the luggage train . The latter is called the first Birmingham train from Londun , and

      its proper time for starting is LIS a . m . It was three minutes past five when the collision took place , and the luggage train was crossing on to the main line at the time . The train was not actually iu motion , it had been standing sti'l about a minute . There were two engines attached to the front ofthe luggage train , Nos . S 3 , and 90 . . I believe there w ; ere as many as forty-seven waggons in the luggage train . Three of them were struck by the iip-train engine , the point where the latter : came in contact' being about the sixteenth orseventeenth truck from the tendcr .- r The names of the drivers of those engines . wcrc ^ William Finch and George Grace . The luggage train" " was stopping at the moment of the collision , because we had four more waggons to attach to it ; - The luggage

      train was forty-eight minutes behind tiroc . instarting that morning ; but if the mail trainbad mi comcuo when it did , in another minute the linewouhl have been dear . 1 account for the delay in starting the train l > y the extra quantity of goods to . be conveyed that morning . 1 have never known a train : With ) a greater humoer of trucksVtart at its proper time . ' 1 have seen as many as forty-nine or fifty waggons ! - ' in one train . At this stage of the- inquiry- one of the jurors ( Mr . Gray ) was suddenly takeirill , and after some delay one of the riiedicaTnieh in attendance entered the court aii-i gave'it as lris ' opinion that as the

      gentleman waslabouringundera severe attack of palpitation of the heart , arising from excitement , it would be very desirable to dispense with his services if the coroner could do so . Mr . Gray was ultimately led into court , and having expressed his inability to take any further pait in the proceedings that day , the coroner at once determined to adjourn the inquiry , remarking that he thought very little time would be lost by such an arrangement , as they might then be able to obtain the evidence of several important witnesses who did not appear to be present on that occasion . The inquiry was then formally adjourned until Thursday .

      The Adjourned Ixqcest was resumed ^ yesterday morning , at half-past nine o ' clock , at the Orange Tree Tavern , George-street , New-road . The names of the jury having been called over , it was found that all were present with the exception of Mr . Grey , who still continued so much indisposed as to be unable to take part in the proceedings ; the coroner , accordingly , with the consent of the jury , discharged him from his onerous oiliee . A number of . -. witnesses were then examined for whose evidence we cannot find room , but the reader will be able to form a pretty correct idea of what transpired from the coroner ' s summing up . At the conclusion of the examination of the witnesses , the inquiry was instituted to ascertain the cause of the death of Mr . Chas . Dean , which took

      place , according to the evidence of Martha Herbert , ' the muse in the University Hospital , on the 5 th of August , seven daysaftcr thcaccident , and thcrecould he no doubt that his death was caused in consequence of a collision between two trains on the London and Birmingham Railway , The coroner then summed up the evidence in " a few but very comprehensive words , calling the attention of the jury to the leading points ofthe case . He then proceeded to take a view of the whole case , an- ^ ohscrved that the company must be liable for any injury sustained by thcaccident ; bat what the jury had to look at and ascertain was , whether those arrangements were made on that occasion which were calculated to avert accidents , and prevent the sacrifice of human

      life . Now those statements they had heard were very important , and they would weigh them carefully in the r minds , to ascertain the causes , and judge who were the Wameable parties . With reference to the mail-train coming before its usual time , no satisfactory information had been given . The guard had been called , who stated that he had no authority to stop the driver if he was going too fast , his simple duty being to start the driver and intimate on the road if there were arything in danger , lie thought there wassomcthing extraordinary in the arrangements of the line at the time ofthe accident . From the time table it appeared that the train three

      limes during the month of July was earlier than its proper time by fifteen minutes , on one occasion by seventeen minutes , aud on another by twelve . Then came the question , was that a breach of the defined and clearly understood regulations of a railway . The examination on that point had elicited what seemed to him a very curious state of affairs , because they could not discover that any of those men who came iu earlier than their proper time , had ever been subjected to any fine , received any punishment , dismissal , or even been reported . From the practices he had pursued , Ilunsworlh ( the driver ) was not labouring under the idea that he had been doing anything wrong

      in coming in earlier than his usual time , lie did not appear to be sensible of the offence he had committed . Jn fact , he seemed to fancy he was gaining favour in the sight of his employer . and ¦ by thus coming in before his lime , thought he should be looked upon by them as a sharp and active man . Under such an impression acting . upon his mind , the wnulcr was not that the accident had happened , bu ? tlmtSad no happened before , and it was to hhn the coroner ) a miracle that they had escaped so o „ g . toS & L had b ««; i « Wd «*» jJ ' J »; 2 clear , but in those malt very ddhcult o

After an absence of an'hour and a quarter , they returned into the inquest room and having answered to their names , the foreman handed in the lollowing written verdict : — " Wc find the deceased , Charles Dean , died from an injury to his left caused b

      leg , y an aceiaenta ] collision of trains on the London and Birmingham Railway , near to Camden Town ; aad that the engine , numbered 90 , belonging to the company cf that railway , moved to the death ofthe deceased , and that its value was £ 1000 , aiid theymakc aDEODAxn on the said engine to the extent of Oke Thousand Pou . sds . In delivering this verdict , the jury express their opinion , that the Jaws and regulations of the London and Birminghami Railway Company , for the guidance of their servants , have been carried out very inefficiently for some time past '; and further , the jury consider that the area ofthe Camden Town station , and the system of rails there laid down , are too much cramped and limited , consistently with the public safety . " The jury having signed the inquisition , separated at a quarter past five o ' clock .

      MURDER AT LEICESTER . Leicester , Monoat . "A murderof a most appalling character has occurred here this morning . A young man , about four or five and twenty , named "William Hubbard , a framework knitter , had lived with his wife for sometime past in a small tenement leading out of what is called the Newarkly , occupying it jointly with his brother , who is also married . The matrimonial career of the loriner , though but of three years' duration , has , it is said , been most unhappy from its commencement . She is reported to have been a still , steadv , hardworking woman , and he , on the contrary / to have been improvident and idle . They had been poorlv off for some time , and he was determined to fall upon union

      tnc , inis his wile resisted strenuousl y , declaring her intention of proceeding to Birmingham , where her mother and a sister reside , and there earn her own maintenance . This morning was fixed upon by her lor her departure thence . About six o ' clock her husband , who , in consequence of their disagreements , had slept at his mother ' s over night , knocked at the door , desiring his wife to let him in . She came down stairs , with but her . night-clothes on , and had no sooner opened the door than a scream was heard , and the brother and his wife , coming down on the instant , the unfortunate woman the wife of William Hubbard , was found weltering in her blood , with a

      frightful gash in her throat ;; Jiulecd , she was only noticed to give one deep , si gh ere she expired . The murderer fled immediately down a lane leading to the Leicester Canal , along the'towihg paih " of ' which he ran some hundred yards , and , crossing into a Mr . ' Strctton ' s field , hid himself in a dike , nearly covered with nettles- and Briafs , " "ivhere , h ' e Vas . foutid in less thai ? aii hour afterwards ;" " by swiic lads ' , who ,. with a great number of neighbours and policemen , instantly set iff in search of hini : ' He mndeVdile or no mistance ^ butexpi-cssed his ' sorrow for what he had done . He uhderwerita brief ' examination tin ' s morning before two or three of the horougli magistrates , and was remanded until Monday next .

      ;« i The Ikquest . —The inquest on the bodv of the unfortunate ilannah ; Hubbard , was held on Tuesday before Mr . Jobnv . Gregory ; : coroneiy at the Bowlirig ' - green . Inni . Oxibrd-street . ' ' > v >*¦¦ - »> ¦ -. " :-. <; : ; : ; - ; A very respectable jury was sworn ; andtliey immediately ptioceeded to .-view'the body ; it was not without some difficulty ; however , that- 'they reached the house where : it lay < in consequence of tlic vast nuni- ^ her of people , who had assembled , and amongst whom ' , it is perhaps needless to state , ; one universal feeling of execration exists . The female portion of the crowd more especially appear to have become endued with an extraordinary spirit of revenge against the murderer . ; Their indignation at the bare supposition ofthe murderer ' s escaping on the plea of ir sanity is almost without bounds .

      It was truly a tearful sight where the shocking deed was consummated , in the kitchen and on a chair were pools ofblood , not dry even yet . The bodv of the hapless woman was laid upon the bed upstairs . Her throat showed a gash about three inches and a half long and two or three inches deep ; so deep , in fact , as to lay the vertebra ; of the neck quite bare . The windpipe was very nearly cut through , as were several important arteries . Her hair hung dishevelled down her shoulders , and blood was scattered in . horrid profusion over her hands , neck , anil bosom , and upon the clothes she wore . On the return of the jury to the Bowling-green , Jane Mitchell was called , who deposed as follows —I am a single woman , and live next door but one to the deceased ' s brother-in-law , John Hubbard . 1 knew the deceased . Her husband , -William Hubbard .

      is a iramework knitter . Deceased lived at John Hubbard ' s , and had one child living with her . Ilei husband came out ofthe Infirmary last Tuesday , and I think had not since lived with his wife About six o ' clock on Monday morning I heard screams of " Murder , " and cries of " Help , " wliicli appeared to proceed from Hubbard ' s house . I opened my window , and looking out , saw John Hubbard in the yard holding deceased , whilstj blood was flowing from a wound in her throat . He had one hand against her chin , and the other on her forehead . John Hubbard ' s wife said , " For God's sake Jane , comedown ; Bill ' s murdered Hannah . " She was in the yard in her night clothes , and John Hubbard too was not dressed . I could not go down , I was so ill with the sight oi blood ; and iu about a quarter of an hour I heard that deceased was dead . 1 saw William Hubbard about

      eight o ' ciock on Sunday night last at the yard door , talking to his brother John . Deceased was to have gone by the two o ' clock train on Monday to her mother ' s at Birmingham . John Hubbard ' s wife told me , that deceased thought she could maintain herself better there than at Leicester , as she could go out to service while her mother took care of her child . I was awake for some time previous to heariiiff the screams , but heard no noise or quarrelling refore : had there been any , I think 1 should have heard it . Some of the furniture was sold one day last week , and taken away cither on Thursday or Friday evening . Deceased was a very quiet , hardworking woman . She was 21 years of age , and made button-holes for flannel shirts . She worked for Mr .

      Angrave , hosier , m Silver-street . «" By a Juror . —She never assigned any reason to me for living apart from her husband . Elizabeth Bates called . —I reside next door to John Hubbard . 1 was awoke by cries of " Murder" about six o ' clock on Monday morning , and on opening the window saw John Hubbard supporting the deceased in the yard . Her hair hung over her face , and she was bleeding very much from the throat . John said , "Bill , whatever have you been doing ? " Ho then looked up , and seeing mc , said , " For God ' s sake come and assist us . " I asked where Bill was , and John ' s wife replied that he was gone . I did not see William Hubbard that morning . I did not go dow-n stairsI was so much afraid . I saw William

      Hub-. bard in Bonncr ' s-iane on Saturday , and on Friday at noon in the house ; John Hubbard and his wife were in . their .. night clothes , and the deceased was only partly dressed . . .

The noise came as if from Hubbard s house . I looked out of the window and saw John Hubbard holding the deceased .

" No answer was made , but John Hubbard ' s wife continued tocrvout "Murder . " I then went down stairs to

When' he first went to the spot , Mrs . Hubbard was crying " Murder ! " and lie , witness , endeavoured to stop the Weeding by wrapping a towel round the deceased ' s throat .

He said he had just heard she was going off , and asked hie if I should like to leave my husband and child , and my huaband so ill as he was . I said she was onJy . going for a few months , and-he would be better then . About six o ' clock Hubbard came in again , and whilst-lie was in the . house , his wife came home and put the child to bed . She then went out with

About nine o clock ? the deceased ;^ came home , and remained in convocation with the prisoner in the entry for about three-quarters of an hour .

She unbolted the kitchen door immediately ,, and I , heard William Hubbard say something ^ to her , but could not say what it was ; Deceased lighted the fire , ; and cleaned the kitchen up , and .

      three minutes before I heard a most dreadful noise , resembling a groan . I awoke my husband , and said , " John , whatever is the row ? " We both got out of bed directly and ran down , stairs . In the kitchen 1 saw the deceased standing against an arm chair , but without support , bleeding very fast from the throat . My husband ran up to her and carried her out into the yard . William Hubbard was standing at the back of her in the corner , and had something in his hand , but what it was I cannot say .

      Lamentable Occurrence.—We Regret To Stat...

      Lamentable Occurrence . —We regret to state that a most lamentable occurrence took place between six and seven o clock on Sunday night , 'by wh ' tcli'tvvo ' young men , who arc brothel's , lost tlicir lives itvthc Clyde . The names of the deceased arc George ' and Robert Lynn—the former about twenty-four ; years of age , who a ' . fortnight , since , enteredu ' nto employment at the B . atwviield Works ; as . a ; bleacher , and the kittvr about sixteen or seventeen years . of age , who , wehavebeeri'informed , was employed as a tailor in Paisley . The young men had met on Sunday , and , unfortunately , had celebrated the meeting by drinking freely . In the course ef the , evening , they proceeded to the . Green , on their way , it is believed , to Rutherglcn , when they were then so much

      intoxicated as to attract the notice of the officer on the Green , who requested them to pass on . They did so ; . but it was observed that a quarrel took place between them as they went along , which was believed to be move in the way . of "daffing , " than of real ill-r iaturr . At : all events , the younger brother , Robert , either fell or was thrown down , aud while the other was refreshing himself at the well , between the Upper Springboard and Allen ' s Pen on the Green , the former rushed past him , saying , "Farewell Geordie , " and plunked into the river . The elder brother being apparently brought to his senses by the frightful leap of tho younger , sprung in after him , and the two were seen struggling for a time in the water by two young women and others , who were attracted to the bank but had no means of lending them

      assistance . ' - ' - 'Robert , however , disengaged himself , and succeeded in reaching the bank of the Green , where he lay for a minute or so with his body partly in and partly out ofthe water . On turning round , he saw his brother ' s hands uplifted above the stream , imploring help , when he in turn rushed into hiin , and both sunk , completing this dire tragedy—the one brother perishing in his turn , as it were , to save the ihVof- the other , Mr . Geddcs , of the Humane Society ' s house , was promptly on the spot , and after a search of half an hour in the one instance , and a full hour in the other , succeeded in recovering both bodies , which , after the usual attempts at re-animation had been made in vain , were conveyed to their friends . The youths , we believe , are natives of Denny , where their father fills a respectable situation .

      Steam-boat Accident . —We , regret exceedingly to state that a most serious accident , attended with fatal results , occurred on the Thames on Tuesday evening . It appears that the steamer Father Thames , on her voyage from Gravesend , made the Pool about ton o'clock , with a great number of passengers , whore , from some unavoidable cause , she came full on to a heavy barge , aud with such force as to instantly carry away her paddle-box and side cabin , in which were several persons . It may be readily ; imagined that consternation and confusion arose immediately , the vessel being thrown on one side , and several persons in the water . Six persons were rescued from a watery grave , but whether anv or several are lost we have yet to learn . From the disabled state of the vessel the nassentrei's had to he

      landed at Wappmg from small boats .-fFrom another Correspondent . ) -Thc Father Thames was so much crippled by the collision / that she could not proceed to her destination , Hungerford Market ; and she was brought up off Wapping for the night . Wednesday morning the steamer was towed down to Blackwai ) for repairs . / The wreck of her paddle-box , the deck cabm , and a quantity of gear were picked ua by Inspector Webb . The barge sustained very little , if any , damage . It appeared to be deeply laden to witlnntwo or three inches of the water ' s edge It was reported on the river that the bargemen were drowned , and that in the confusion three or four persons fell overboard from the steamer and were drowned ; but Mr . Creed made diligent inquiry , and tound that no one had eone overboard hnaidos th- * iv

      Lamentable Accident . —Windsor , Tuesday . —A j accident of a most dreadful nature , which it is fearet will prove fatal to one of the parties , occurred yesterday evening ,. between eight and nine o ' clock , to Mr , Sta cey , bricklayer to her Majesty , and Mr . Ciirtland ; bookseller ,-both residing at ; Eton . r They were on their return home from lsleworth ,: in a gig ; Mr . Stacey driving a horse hired of a livery-stable keeper at Eton , which , it has since been ascertained , has frequently before run away , even so lately as Saturday last . On descending at a sharp trot the steep and dangerous hill iu Thames-street , Xi indsor , leading to the bridy . e , the . horse started off at a tremendous pace , all attempts to stay its progress proving

      utterly truitless .. Un arriving opposite to the bank of Nevill , Held , and Co ., at the bottom of-the hill , the horse swerved to the right on to the pavement , dragging the chaise against the iron rails , tearing away the iron and' stone work , and finally clearing itself from the vehicle by dashing between tiie railings and ' the iron lamp post . Mr . Stacey was thrown with great force into the road , sustaining very severe internal injuries . Mr . Cartland was discovered under the chaise , and in a most pitiable condition , the blood streaming from his head and face , and so disfigured that the persons who humanely went to his rescue , and who were his neighbours , were not aware until some time afterwards , when he was enabled to '

      speak , who it was . He was carried to'dtc Swan Hotel , ' where he experienced , every attention , aud live surgeons were almost instantly in attendance . The injuries lie received were of the most painful and afflict- ' ing nature . _ In addition to two deep cuts on the forehead , four inches in length , . the skin , being torn away from the skull and hanging oyer the eyes , his nose was completely flattened , and a deep wound extended from the left eye to the . upper lip . . , His tongue was also nearly severed across tlic centre , supposed to have been occasioned by its protruding ' from his mouth at the time he was , dashed against . the iron vails . He was conveyed to his residence in a carriage al ' tcr . his wounds had been dressed , where he now remains in an extremely . dantrcrous state .

      Destruction of Richardson ' s Theatre . —On Monday night , shortly before twelve o ' clock , tho inhabitants of Hartford . were ' thrown into some excitement by an alarm of fire . It was first stated that the . church " was' in' flumes , and on looking in that direction an extensive fire was seen raging . On proceeding thither , however , it . was soon known that Richardson ' s theatre ( which had been erected tit the rear of the church ) was on fire , and the flames spread with such rapidity that before any of the fire-eiigincs could be procured the whole theatre was iu flames . The performance had fortunately , concluded , and the audience left about ten minutes before . The fire originated under ths centre of the pit . " Two ofthe waggons , in which some of the company slept , were saved , but the stage and all the theatrical property , with the booth , were destroyed . The loss is estimated at £ 1 . 200 .

Hunt , the only surviving son of the late Henry Hunt , the celebrated advocate of Universal Suffrage , and who for some years represented Preston in Parliament , were interred in the new burial-ground , near the old Church , Lambetl- ; . The deceased , who is the subject of this notice , succeeded his father , in the extensive blacking manufactory which his father amidst the turmoil of political agitation , established in Broadwall , Blackfriars ; but as ho did not possess the spirit or enterprise of his father , the business soon went to decay , and for several years past he subsisted partly upon an annuity , and partly on the bounty of his late father ' s political friends . The

      deceased was the last of an ancicntfamily , and the only one that had obtained notoriety was his father , who began his political career as a Universal Suffrage and Annual Parliament man , and continued to advocate those principles till the close of his political career , llenry Hunt , the younger , during his father ' s lifetime , made the tour o Europe , and travelled through the whole of the United States of America and Canada . For some time past he had been living in a very retired manner at No . 41 , George-street , Regent-street . Lambeth . About five weeks ago be was attacked with illness , and he died on Wednesday , July 30 , in the forty-fifth year of his age .

      mourners , but the offer was declined by those who had the management of the funeral ; and the mourners consisted only of his late father ' s servant , a very old man , who said he had witnessed the burial of three generations of the Hunts ; Mr .

Mr . Hudson ' s party approached the hustings for the purpose of dividing Colonel Thompson ' s forces , and of interrupting the Colonel ' s proposer , while addressing the multitude . The splendid banner they earned was thrown to the ground in a moment , and in a short space of time torn to ribands ; the poles were broken and laid over the [ shoulders of the bearers of them . Mr . Hudson ' s party , the first-thing -at tins hustings to-day , commenced the battle of the arm , andlhey have surely been worsted . One or two of Hudson ' s bullies have been taken into custody . The crowd assembled before the hustings is numerous . From the Bridge Hotel down to the George ( the space of nearly a quarter of a mile ) is one dense

      mass . Cotton balls are now flying about in the crowd . The cotton balls are emblematical of an afiiiir of honour that took place between two distinguished gentlemen on Wliitbounie Sands . Joshua Wilson . Esq ., proposed-Colonel Thompson , and John Hills , Esq ., seconded the nomination . So strong is popular feeling in favour of the Cownel , that by no possible means can Mr / Hudson ' s hired friends ( and he has a jrood number of them ) mhitaia their place in front of the . hustings .
