      Monday, Jvxb 24. House Of Lords. —The Qu...

      was not , as the la * t , unilateral , but gave power to both parties . . Mr . Christopher opposed the bill because it was Btill a one-sided measure , and was calculated to injure the rights of property . If this subject should be legislated for at all , it ought to be taken up by the government He moved that the hul be read a second time that day six months . The amendment was seconded by Mr . Hbath-COAT Mr . S . AnAia suggested that the bill might be read pro forma , aud referred to a select committee . Sir G . GsETsaid , there seemed to be a general opinion in favour of a compulsory enfranchisement , and being arrived at an agreement upon its principle the better course was to read the bill a second time ( not pro forma ) , and refer it to a select committee . "

      .... Mr . MoxusGS opposed the bill , as well as Siajfc-SiRicKLAXD , who pronounced it a delusion . It was not for the enfranchisement of copyholds , for ic retained the tenure , but simply to commute rents under that tenure to a rent-charge . After some remarks by Colonel Sibihorp and Mr . Heslet , the second reading was affirmed on a division by 103 against 84 . AccroKXis on Railwats Bill . — -Mr . Ne wi ) egatb moved the second reading of this bill , the object of which was to make it incumbent upon railway companies in cases of accident to send for medical assistance , without incurring a liability to expense unless the accident arose from the negligence of therailway officers . If the party was un-Ible to pay the expense the company might reit from the parish

      cover . . . . . Mr . Euas protested against the injustice of confining this obligation to railway companies ,, and jaovk to defer the second reading of the bill for six months . ... Mr . Adubblet supported the bdl , which cast no liability upon railway companies except in cases of their own negligence . Colonel Sibihorp also supported the bill , and regretted that it did not go further , and compel railway companies to make ample compensation to parties who suffered through their neglect recommend the

      Mr Labocchebje could no house to asree to the bill , which was extremely objectionable in principle . Its effects was to alter the general law of principle and agent ; to compel railway companies in all cases to call in medical assistance , thev being responsible in the first instance for the expense . At present the companies were ultimately liable for medical assistance in accidents arising from the fault of their servants , and there were no special circumstances which would justify the application to them of a particular rule .

      Mr . Spooser contended that there were special circumstances , and denied that the object of the bill was to alter the general liability of railway companies ; it merely provided thac there should be no delay in the first instance ia sending for medical assistance . . . The Atiorset-Gesebai , said his objection was that the bill did alter the law , and in one case only , and nothing was so bad as exceptional legislation , Mr . Ricabdo likewise opposed the bill , which on ' a division was rejected by 103 against 53 . Mr . Keogh obtained leave to bring in a bill to give further facilities for the improvement of towns in Ireland . At six o ' clock the house adjourned .

      THURSDAY , Jma 27 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Abouiios of the Lobd-Liectexaxct of iBELAsn . —The Marquis of Loxdoxherry moved the resolutions of which he had given notice , condemnatory of the proposed abolition of ihe Lord-lieutenancy of Ireland . The Marquis of Laxsdowsk defended the proposed abolition , on the ground of the advantages that would follow from having some one eminent person wholly responsible for the administration of Irish affairs , and so avoiding the misunderstandings that continually arose between the Secretary of State in England and tbe Lord-Lieutenant . The Dokeof WELUSGioxsolicitedhis noble friend to withdraw the resolutions , bat hoped her Majesty ' s Ministers would consider well the consequences of the intended abolition .

      After some further discussion the resolutions -were withdrawn , aud the house adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The adjourned delate on Foreign Policy was resumed by Sir J . Walsh ,, who reiterated many of the objections previously urged against Lord Palmerston , charging Mm with propagandist !) , and with having undertaken the advocacy of Jacobinical principles throughout Europe . He stigmatised the foreign policy of the government as tending to foster disturbance and discontent throughout the populations of Europe , and to place England under a universal ban of isolation and suspicion among all the powers of the civilised world .

      Sir H . Tersei showed from private communications that the legal and constitutional state of Greece had fallen into deplorable anarchy ; and that the only means of obtaining redress for English subjects was by the stern interposition of their own government . The . precedent now set would be of extensive value in our commercial relationship -with other countries , as proving that the protection of the British crown was extended overall its loyal subjects . Sir R- Ixglis acknowledged that he might have approved of the particular line taken by the government with respect to Greece , bnt refused to affirm the whole course of their foreign policy , and reprobated the unconstitutional maxim which he said had been enunciated by Lord J . Russell , in repudiating not merely submission but even responsibility to the verdict of the House of Lords . Confessing the ability of Lord Palmerston ' s defence on Tuesday night he yet felt himself reluctantly forced to withhold his vote from the approving resolution now proposed for their adoption .

      The . Marquis of Grasbt . noticed one or two lacuna in the reply of the Foreign Secretary to the charges brought against him . He reviewed with much minuteness the foreign policy of the government , characterising it as a policy of interference , which , for the sake of promulgating certain political dogmas , encountered the risk of rebuff , aud sacrificed the dignity of the nation . Sir W . Moleswortk enforced the importance of a decision for which every nation of Europe was anxiously waiting ; maintaining that if a vote of the Peers was founded on error , the Commons was entitled to reverse it ; but if not , not . He contended that an impartial application of the rules laid down with respect to Greece , by Lord

      Palmerston , would render the British government at home responsible for the depredations committed by a London pickpocket upon tbe subject of a foreign country . With regret , as approving their domestic policy , but with a conscientious opinion in his own integrity , he should vote against the resolution of the hon . member for Sheffield . Mr . Shafto Adaib expressed his conviction that the policy of the Foreign Secretary had received the approbation of the public at home , and was calculated to preserve the dignity of England and the safety of her subjects abroad . Mr . S . Herbert , after ironically disposing of the more far-fetched arguments of the last speaker , and adverting to the evidence of personal feeling

      manifested by Lord Palmerston against Narvaez , whom in one of his despatches he had called a " reckless adventurer , " ridiculed the Pacifico affair , in which an escapade , begun by school-boys , had been magnified into a riot . He then followed Lord Palmerston through tbe various countries to which his interference had extended , and remarked upon the failure of nearly all his attempts at the establishment of what lie termed constitutionalism . He could not see how credit should be taken for such a series of defeats . He contrasted the improving-condition of Prussia and Austria—nations -which had not been cursed by the noble lord ' s assistance , with the unhappy results where that assistance had been afforded . He called upon the

      house to mark its disapprobation of a policy which had fended to lower the character of this country in the eyes of foreigners . SirG . Gret complained of the accusations levelled by Mr . Herbert against his noble colleague . The principles of the question had been , he thought , accurately stated by Mr . Roebuck ; . aml -with respect to the first . class of cases , the point at issue was whether the government should act in accordance with the resolution of the Lords , or , as they had hitherto deeaedit to be their duty , to afford protection in tbe . widest sense of the term to British subjects , in another country , who were unable by the ordinary process of the law , or through other causes , to obtain justice . With respect to the other

      class of cases , bo one had stated what was the antagonistic principle upon which the government were required to act So course of propagandism had been adopted l » y our Foreign Minister ; distinct disavowals had beeBreoeatedV gfren of any desire to interfere with tie political views and opinions of other ^ ountries . After paying a warm tribute to the character and talents of Lord Palmerston Sir George , vindicated the proceedings of Lord Minto , which , -he contended , were not to be judged by their effects .. The peace of Europe , however , had oeen inaintai & ed , and the principles of constitutional government were making progress , in spite of despotism on tbe one hand and anarchy and disorder on

      the other .. friendly relations with other countries might be pacehased at too dear a . price by the sacrifice of the national honour , and he trusted' that the house would not by their vote lower , this country from the high position it had hitherto occupied amongst the nations of the world . ' . Mr . Gladstone began by replying ,. at much length , ia the address of Lord John Russell on th t day week , protesting against his doctrine as . to the ministerial responsibilities towards the House of Lords , and showing that the precedents he had then quoted were not to the point Turning to the resolution before- than , he observed that it shifted the issue raised bytba rote ot the veers ,

      and widened the case forthe purpose , he suggested , of catching votes , which might have been refused upon the special point of the Greek policy . That policy he divided into three categories—as directed towards Greece itself , towards the co-guaranteeing powers , and towards France as mediator . He would not argue the question upon precedents but upon principles . Introducing a warm euloguim upon the impartiality and veracity of Baron Grosreceived by the house with an expression of very conflicting opinions—the right hon ourable member restated the details of the Sumach ' ,. Finlay , and Pacifico claims . With regard to the first , he remarked that the Foreign Secretary had begun with violencehad proceeded to reason and allowed

      , the question to drop , with no redress obtained in the end . In the Finlay case strong measures were used to get payment for an" account which the tribunals were competent to settle ; thereby contraverting the principle laid down by Lord Palmerston s own supporters . M . Pacifico's claim was m like manner unjustifiably taken up by English ministers before it had been submitted to the courts of the country , and pressed against the Greek government without examining into the notorious exaggerations in its items . The demands for which coercive measures were applied were founded in falsehood , fraud , and absurdity , and their enforcement had involved an infringement of the law of nations . Mr . Gladstone then dilatedupon the suspicious

      complications discoverable in correspondence with Baron Gros , and summed up by asserting that the Foreign Secretory had provoked and sustained a variety of disgraces and indignities , for which tbe country was inadequately compensated by the magnificent harangue in which he had attempted to justify his policy . An antagonistic principle had been asked for , and he gave it in one word—nonintervention . Even for the sake of protection tc her subjects , this policy was necessary for England , as no country could duly protect her natives which stood in isolation , and did not acknowledge those claims of Justice aud equality that bound together

      the great comity of nations . From the House of Lords an appeal lay to the Commons , and from the Commons to the people of England . But even from them there was a further appeal to the general opinion of the Christian world , whose verdict would , he believed , be pronounced against us , and irretrievably taint the honour and character of our empire . Mr . Henry Drumuond declined to oppose the motion . His speech embraced a variety of rather incongruous topics , including the Reform Bill , to which he attributed the late continental revolutions . On the motion of Mr . Cockburn the debate was again adjourned .

      After some further business the house adjourned at two o ' clock .

      ( From our Third Edition of lost week . ) FRIDAY , Jura 21 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Duke of Richuond gave notice of his intention to move , in committee on the Factories Bill , a clause similar to that unsuccessfully proposed by Lord John Manners in the House of Commons . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Amenduest on Mr . Roebuck ' s Motion . — Mr . Hume said : I beg , sir , to give notice , that I shall move an amendment on Mr . Roebuck ' s motion , to leave out all the words after the word " that" with the view of substituting the following : — ' Taking into consideration the general policy of Iter Majesty ' s Government under circumstances of difficulty , this house is of opinion that , on the whole , it is calculated to promote tne best interests of the country , and , therefore , deems

      it expedient to continue its confidence in her Majesty ' s Ministers . " ( Loud laughter . ) On the motion for the house resolving itself into a committee of supply , Mr . G . A .-Hamilton , in a lopg speech , moved as an amendment , that an humble address be presented to her Majesty , praying that she will be graciously pleased to direct that such a modification of the system of national education in Ireland may be made as may remove the conscientious objections which a large proportion of the clergy and laity of the Established Church entertain to that system , as at present carried into operation , or that means may be otherwise taken to enable those of the clergy and laity of the Established Church who entertain such conscientious objections to extend the blessings of Scriptural education in Ireland .

      Mr . Walfolb supported the motion , to which he did not think any valid opposition could be offered . Sir W . Souerville opposed the motion , and called upon the House to refuse its assent to a proposition which would tend to destroy the present system of national education in Ireland . He bore a tribute to the manifold advantages which Ireland was deriving from the system originated by Lord Stanley , and which , he considered , was one of the

      greatest boons which had ever been bestowed upon a nation . He conceived that the opposition to the present course was either founded in misapprehension or in bigotry . A long discussion ensued , when the house divided , and the motion was negatived by 225 to 142 ; majority , 83 . The house then went into Committee of Supply , and after some objections' from Colonel Sibthorp and Mr . Cobden , votes were taken for law , police , and criminal expenses , to the amount of about £ 460 , 000 . The house then adjourned .

      Dastardly Attack Upon The Queen. About T...

      DASTARDLY ATTACK UPON THE QUEEN . About twenty minutes after six o ' clock on Thursday evening her Majesty tbe Queen , accompanied by three of tho children and Viscountess Jocelyn , lady in waiting , left Cambridge-house , Piccadilly ( where her Majesty had been calling to inquire after the health of her uncle , on her return to Buckingham Palace . A crowd of persons had assembled without the court-yard gates to witness

      her Majesty ' s departure , and as the carriages passed out of the gates an individual , respectably dressed , and about six feet tvo inches high , advanced two or three paces , and with a small black cane which he held in his hand struck a sharp blow at the Queen . The blow took effect upon her Majesty ' s bonnet , which , being of a light texture , was driven in by its force , but the only effect which the attack had upon the Queen was to cause her Majesty to raise her hand and re-arrange her bonnet .

      Several of the bystanders seized the miscreant , one of whom dealt him a sound blow in the face , which drew blood from his nose in copious streams , after which he was banded over to the police , and conveyed to the " Vine-street , police-station . On being asked his name , he replied without hesitation , " Robert Pate , " describing himself as a retired lieutenant of theiPth Hussars , snd adding that he resided at No , 27 , Duke-street , Bt James ' s . When asked what he had to say to the charge , he replied , thatit was true he had struck her Majesty a . slight , blow with a thin stick , but he added emphatically , in-allusion to the witnesses , " Those men cannot prove whether I struck her head or her bonnet" On being searched there were found upon the prisoner two keys and a pocket handkerchief . No money or weapon of any kind was discovered . The small stick , with which the miscreant struck the blow was not thicker than an ordinary goosequill—measured only two feet two inches in length , and weighed legs than three

      ounces . After the miscreant had been placed in a cell Mr . Inspector Field was despatched to search his lodgings . Mr . Field here ascertained that the prisoner had lodged on the third floor ( an elegant suite of apartments , ) of 27 , Duke-street , during the last two and a-half years—that he was a man of regular habits , and paid bis bills with great punctuality His father was described to be a man of large pro * Serty at Wisbeach , where he formerly carried on usiness as an extensive corn factor . A large number of papers and documents were seized by Mr . Field , but nothing has yet been discovered which could by possibility explain the motive of the rash act

      About two hours afterwards her Majesty went to the Italian Opera , where she received a hearty welcome from the audience , the principal vocalists singing God save the Queen . The nurk inflieled by the miscreant ' s stick was plainly visible on the Queen ' s right temple .

      Frightful Occurrence.—On Thursday Mornin...

      Frightful Occurrence . —On Thursday morning , about ten o ' clock , the passengers on board the Bee , halfpenny steam-boat , were distressed by a frightful accident , which happened to a young man , named Samuel Barnett , aged twenty-one , whose friends are of the Jewish persuasion , and reside in Middlesex-street , Commercial-road East It app ears that at the time abovenamed , the Bee steamboat was taking passengers on board from the pier at v Jg * -ball-wharf , Upper Thames-street , City , wnen Barnett took bisseat by the gangway , placing . tt T * ? coU of roPe > ° no ™* of which was made fast tothe usual part of the dumb lighter : the captain . not seeing any danger , gave orders to " go ahead : but at the same instantit was discovered that Barnett

      s right leg had become firmly secured by the rope- at -which time the full strain of the vessel was upon it and before he could be released the right foofc ^ was completely severed near the ankle-joint The , captain and crew rendered every possible assistance , and having taken the unfortunate sufferer ashore , he was at once examined by a medical gentleman who happened to be present , and conveyed to St . Thomas ' s Hospital , where it was found necessary to amputate the limb at theknee ; The removal of the leg was borne with much fortitude , and , in the evening Barnett was going on as favourably as could be expected . Hat Habvest . — The cutting of grass has commenced in Dorsetshire , Gloucestershire , and parts of Essex , Norfolk , and Cambridgeshire .

      Nondelivery Of Newspapers On, Sunday. A ...

      NONDELIVERY OF NEWSPAPERS ON , SUNDAY . A meeting of newspaper proprietors and their representatives was held at Peele ' s Coffee-house , on Tuesday , for the purpose of taking measures to prevent the stoppage of the delivery of newspapers , through the instrumentality of the post-office on Sunday . ... Mr . Ingram having taken the chair , . Mr . Seble read a petition to the House of Commons , which had been prepared by the committee appointed at the meeting held on Thursday last . Ho did not think the press , as a body , were yet

      awake tothe insult offered them by the Sabbatarians , in the first place , and afterwards by the government acting on the resolution of a . small minority of the house ' But it was necessary for those who felt the injury to endeavour to remed y it at once , or the opportunity might be lost . He concluded by moving the first resolution : — " That the petition just read bo adopted , and sent round to all the newspaper offices for signature , and that it be presented to the House of Commons by Mr . Roebuck , or semo other influential member . " Mr . Chapman seconded the resolution .

      Mr . Thomas observed , that though the inconvenience of the measure was as yet hardly felt , he was aware of a case where losses to some extent had already been suffered . The resolution was carried unanimously . Mr . Wood moved , and Mr . Thohas seconded , the next resolution : — " That a deputation be appointed to wait on the First Lord of the Treasury , and the Postmaster-General , to urge upon them the necessity that exists bf rescinding the recent post-office regulation , and that the committee be empowered to avail themselves of the services in this respect bf such members of parliament as shall be favourable to the abrogation of the said order . " Mr . Ledger moved the third resolution ,

      empowering the committee to call a public meeting on the subject on an early day . Mr . Buchanan seconded this resolution , observing that it was of great importance that the question should be placed on as broad a ground as possible , and that the intended meeting should be in reality a public one , and not composed solely of parties connected , with the trade . Mr . Serle was " unwilling that a public meeting should be summoned , except as a last resort , and he hoped the committee would exhaust every means to obtain redress by their own endeavours before taking this step . Mr . Cox said that' London would not suffer much inconvenience from the measure , and therefore few might be willing to exert themselves to

      get it rescinded . He feared that the same motives which influenced some of the City merchants to take a part in the Sabbatarian agitation against Mr . Rowland Hill ' s alteration in the . Sunday ' service at the Post-office—motives wUich were by no means creditable to themselves—would lead them to oppose the rescinding of the late obnoxious regulation . He suggested that all the weekly political journals should print a short form of petition , and a vast number of such petitions would be signed all over the kingdom by parties who had been injured by this measure . This and the foregoing resolution haying been unanimously adopted , a vote of thanks to the chairman was passed , and the meeting broke up .

      The following is the petition that was agreed to by the meeting : — " To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ! in Parliament assembled . The petition of the undersigned proprietors and editors of London newspapers , and contributors thereto , and other persons employed thereon , Humbly sneweth , — " That on an address supported by ninety-five members of your honourable house , and which , by the rules of that house , could not be again considered before it was presented , her Majesty , by the advice of her ministers , has prohibited the delivery of newspapers on Sundays by post throughout the United Kingdom .

      •• That your petitioners thereby have been suddenly and without notice greviously injured in their property and occupation . " That the liberty of the press has been heretofore considered the first bulwark of British freedom , and that its uses have been hitherto considered of paramount value and importance ; and that , therefore , any unnecessary interference with its operations is the most unbearable of oppressions and the most galling of insults that can be offered to the people or to their habitual informants , instructors , and defenders . " That her Majesty ' s government , in suddenly acting upon the resolve of an accidental majority , by stopping the delivery of the post on Sundays without taking measures to consult the real sense of your

      honourable house , has abandoned its duty and despotically trifled with tho property and interests of your petitioners . " That the annual amount of Sunday labour which will be' occasioned by the efforts of the newspaper proprietors to protect their property will be threefold that saved by the new regulations . " That the stamp tax upon newspapers has been vindicated as giving the privilege of transmission by post , and that to make this privilege valuable to one class and deny it to another is an act of the grossest fiscal injustice . " That the circulation of newspapers on a Sunday is a civilising act , meritorious to the highest degree in a free nation , where every individual ' s supposed

      to take the part of a freeman in public affairs , and where this day is the only one that affords to many of the industrious classes the opportunity , by the perusal of the public prints , to inform themselves of their duty as citizens . " That the business to be transacted by a great number of individuals in the course of the ensuing week is necessarily regulated by the information , as to markets and otherwise , communicated by the weekly papers on the Sunday . " That the Post-office is a close monopoly of the most essential means of communication which necessarily can only be justified by its rendering the most complete and equal service at all times to all parties who require its agency . ' .. '

      " That to make this great public institution subservient to the sectarian opinions of any body of individuals , is an usurpation of the rights of government , and a perversion of its duties . "That your petitioners , who are as anxious as any other persons , whatever may be their religious pretensions , to give the full use and enjoyment , and repose of one day in the week to the entire people , feel that this can only be done by a moderate sacrifice of the convenience , for some hours , of the few to the many , and that if this truth be not admitted , no one has a right to claim any service of any kind upon the seventh day , and that this principle should be strictly applied to all ranks of men , by stringent legislation . , " That ' your petitions believe the new regulation

      of the Post-office to be a violent inroad on the liberty of conscience , a mere pretence , as to the effect it professes to produce , the precusor of a series of absurd and oppressive measures against the civil , and religions liberty of the people , an act unwarranted by the practice and faith of civilised Europe , a deprivation ' inflicted by a higher class upon an humble one , and a measure so totally unworthy of the government and , legislature of this country that it could only have been carried by the surprise of a single yote . . " Your petitioners therefore humbly pray of your honourable house to rescind the resolution which led to the late address , and to empower the government to resort to the former usage in this behalf . —And your petitioners , < fec .

      Lord Palmeksion 4bour; 1820.—"Lord Palme...

      Lord Palmeksion 4 Bour ; 1820 . — "Lord Palmerston came to town , sent for by Peroival , He was so good as to confide to me that three things were offered to him—the Chancellorship of the Exchequer , Secretaryship at War , or a seat at the Treasury , by way of introduction to the , Seals , if he was afraid of entering upon them at once . These offers were , however , in the alternative of their being one of them declined by Milnes ( Member for Ponte ' fract ) , to _ whom they were made in the first instance . Lord P . consulted me very frankly upon them , and asked if I thought he would be equal to the seals either in the Cabinet or Parliament particularlineiawe

      y r , wnere he . had barely made his debut . I told him—and . was most sincere—that in common with all his friends ; whom I had ever heard speatonthe subject , I thought him quite equal to them in point of capacity , but as to nerves in Parliament ( of which he seemed most to doubt ) , nobody could ludge but himself . . . iHej ' said i .

      Loss Of The Orion. Among The List Of Suf...

      LOSS OF THE ORION . Among the list of sufferers is that of a widow lady , belonging to Montreal—Mrs . Smith . She was found by the divers lying at the foot of the companion ladder . The arduous labours of the divers Inyo been rewarded by tho recovery , from the captain ' s cabin , of several hundredpounds sterling , and the greater part of the ship ' s silver plate . Tho divers despair of recovering any bodies the berths may contain , from the present state of the cabin , which is almost entirely blocked up with broken furniture . and baggage of the passengers . The anxiously-looked - for passenger list which the steward was supposed to possess , was nowhere to be found , although-the ship , in every accessible

      part , was searched from stem to stern . It may be mentioned that the wild rock-bound coast of which Portpatrick forms part , is subject to dense fog banks . On the afternoon of the catastrophe , one of those " banks ' ?¦ descended right over the wreck , enshroiidingit , and a wide space around . A few minutes and all was again clear . The following statement , supplied by Mr , T . Kidston—a gentleman who was the first to reach the land—will be found interesting : — " Mr . Kidston was awakened by the shock of the collision , and imagined the vessel to have run aground on a sand bank . Not anticipating any danger in consequence , unlike others , he dressed himself before proceeding uo to the deck . ; When hegot there , and looked

      over , the starboard quarter , the first thing that caught his eye was a boat upset , and the crew that had crowded it floating here and there in the water . On running to the other side he found another boat lowered there , and full of passengers . They , however , wanted the oars , and were snouting for them . He then put them down over the side to those in the boat , and they rowed off . During the time the captain was on tho bridge , betwixt the paddleboxes , Mr . Kidson went up to him , and having still the notion that no danger was to be apprehended , said— ' The confusion on deck is very great , should you not endeavour to set the minds of the people at rest ? call out th at though the ship be aground she cannot sink . ' He replied that he had

      told . them so before ; he had mentioned that though she was fast aground it was impossible for : her to sink . Mr . Kidston . then looked about , and saw distinctly the rocksand the lighthouse quite close at hand . There was then no fog . Almost immediately after , he was undeceived in the opinion he had been led to entertain , by observing the water rushing into the ship with great rapidity , and that she was sinking at what he considered to be at the rate of a foot per minute .: He then descended to the outside of the paddle-box , on the starboard side , and helped to pull out another boat While doing so the vessel gave a lurch , and he was precipitated into th © water . Finding himself immersed he forthwith struck out astern , and swam ashore .

      passing the boat which had been pushed off previously , and leaching the land before any one else , and before any boats had been put off from the quay . During the brief but fearful , and eventful period between the ship going down and the deliverance of the survivors many acts of heroism and gallantry were performed . One of these was the case of a child who came up to Glasgow in its mother ' s arms by the Tartar , who was found by a passing swimmer floating on the water , just as a boat loaded to the gunwale with the saved was crossing his track . He seized the infant , and jerked it among the people on board .: The chad was consequently saved , as we sincerely trust was also the . gallant swimmer . There was another still more astonishing

      feat of heroic gallantry and noblest self-denial . It was that of a gentleman who was observed struggling and swimming freighted with a lady under each arm and his own child held in his mouth , sup-, porting himself on a board , which he held under his chin . Some less scrupulous swimmer came across him and drew away the plank which enabled him to support his head , and he was forced to let go hold of his unfortunate child , which , in consequence , met a watery grave ; the ladies , however , he safely brought to land . We have not learned this noble person ' s name , but it is worthy of being recorded . Another was that of a gentleman , who ,, having got possession of a small piece of floating wood , when a young lady was passing , he extended his hand to

      her , and saying , " This may save us both , was enabled to keep himself and her up till they were picked up by a passing boat . . On Saturday last the body bf Mr . M'Murrich was picked up by means of fish-hooks . : He had a gold watch and some sovereigns in a . steel bead purse . His name does not appear in any Of the lists hitherto published . The impossibility of arriving at an accurate knowledge of the names and number of those on board has been explained ; and this circumstance . shows , that in the absence of such a knowledge , implicit reliance cannot be placed on any estimate of the number lost . Who , can say how many may have been in trhe vessel in the same circumstances as Mr . M'Murrich ? No computation can be positively verified till the inquiries of friends

      determine the number of passengers , while at the same time the number promulgated certainly cannot be far wrong . On the list of those who distinguished themselves by their heroism , the name of Captain M'Neil , so far as we have seen , has not yet found a place . . It may serve to assuage the bitter grief of his friends to know that in saving other lives be lost bis own . He was seen by several of the survivors clinging to a floating spar , guiding to safety , by his voice and exertions . -the shrieking throng who struggled with the waters around him . His strength failing him , he was heard to cry—' . ' For God ' s sake save yourselves , I have done all I can ; " and before the boats which put off from shore had reached the wreck the hero-hearted captain was beyond the reach of

      succour . The cook of the Orion , a man of colour ,, and an excellent swimmer , was among the first to reach the shore , and left it in the first boat which made for the wreck . In his own manly and generous words , he could not keep the boat when his fellowcreatures were drowning before his eyes , so he lept into the sea , and by pushing spars and boxes . to those who were battling with the waters , he succeeded in saving several lives . < Captain Denham , R . N ., arrived at Port , Patrick on Sunday night , from London , and is now pursuing his inquiries respecting tho loss of this vessel . A female and child were got out of her on Sunday , supposed to be Mrs . Scott , of Montreal , and her child , Her husband was one of those who

      unfortunately perished ; he was alive when brought on shore , but died in a few minutes . Her sister , Mrs . Smith , a widow lady , was also drowned ; she left ten children behind her at Montreal . Both families were on their way to Glasgow , their native town , to make arrangements for settling there . On Monday three bodies were got . out by the divers ; one of them is known to be a Glasgow merchant , but the other two have not been identified : one was a lad about fifteen years old , Captain M'Neil ( CollinBay ) whose body has not yetbeen found , had his life insured for £ 20 , 000 . On Sunday evening instructions were received from the Lord Advocate to apprehend Mr . Henderson , the commander , of the Orion . The warrants were . put into the handsof the police here . We understand that he will be admitted to bail .

      .. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES . Sib , —I inclose a letter which I believe will interest your readers . It is written to a cousin in London by a schoolboy of fourteen , who with his tutor was on his way ; home for the holydays . I am , Sir , your obedient servant , London , June 25 . S .

      My dear S ., —I wrote to apologise to you for not delivering your long letter to C , but I trust you will excuse me , as I had no time to save anything but my life in the dreadful occurrence which I am about to relate . ¦> . •• Mr . P . audi set sail from Liverpool on" the 17 th , at half-past three in the afternoon , and there were about 200 passengers on board . We had a beautiful smooth passage ^ all the ladies remaining on deck till late . - 'At half-past eleven , as we passed the Isle of Man , we both went down to bed .: At about halfpast one in the morning I was woke by hearing the other gentlemen getting up and talking , and from them I heard that we had run aground ; I woke

      Mr . P ., and he dressed quickly and ranupstairs . I in the meantime dressed very quietly ^ thinking there was no danger , as the sea was 80 Calm and the shore near , and had just got my trousers , boots and shirt on , when down came Mr . P ., saying we had gone ashore off the Irish coast ( which I thought rather curious ) , and that I had better come on deck . One of the dead lights in our cabin happened to be open , and just then , the vessel sinking lower , the water poured into the cabin in a torrent We both rushed on deck , accompanied by several ladies in their nightclothes , screaming piteously . When we got on'deok I saw that the ' sternwas high above the water , and the bow perfectly immersed . We < were only about 300 , yards from the shore when we struck . The land was quite visible , and . the light of Portnjutrick . We both went to tbe stern , and Mr . P . left me there and went

      amidships , and I clung to tho binnacle . The screams Ofthe poor ladies , the . prayers of the men , such as V Lord help us ! " '' God save us 1 " and the roaring the steam were frightful . Presently the vessel heeled : right over , > till the deck was almost perpendicular . Then came the most frightful part of the , scene ; the poor women slid down under the lee-bulwarks and . were , swept out by the next wave—their screams were hoart-rending ; just then the passengers launched the life-boat , but it was swamped instantaneously , and all drowned except two ; the seamen ; were too much terrified to do anything , but some jumped overboard and others ran up the shrouds . > I , in the meantime , was clinging to the binnacle ( a part just before the wheel , where the compass is kept ) , and , ' when she went on her beam ends , 1 immediately divested myself of my trousers and boots , and : flung them overboard , knowing that I could not swim with them on . Having done that I waited . patiently for the result , crying to God for help , as also most of

      Loss Of The Orion. Among The List Of Suf...

      the passengers , when I saw the steam coming up the -companion and heard it making a horrible hissing , bubbling noise . Then I thought that all was lost , and that we should have a precious blow up , so committing myself into the hands of God 1 plunged overboard . There , were about six other men who jumped in with / me , and . they struck out so hard that they got hie under water for about a minute ; however , I . soon got up and swam boldly for my life . When I had swamabout forty yards I came to a chest , on which a man was supporting himself . I made for it , and reached it , but tho seaman was in such an agony ofterror that he knew not . ' what . he . did , and in foolishly endeavouring to get to , the top of the chesthe turned it round like a treadmill . I

      , could not shift my hands as quickly as he pulled it over , and so I was pushed right under the water for about two minutes . At that awful time I felt the water coming in my ears and nose , and thought on home and my parents , and felt that I should never see them more , and was givingup , but just then I felt new vigour in my limbs and determined not to relinquish life without a struggle . I dived down till I got free of the man and chest and swam to some things which were floating near , and got something : like a desk under one arm and a kind of wooden grating under the other ; with these I kept , up along while , but looking round I saw the large chest with the man , who had stopped pulling it over ; I swam to it

      therefore , and told him not to pull it , as our safety depended on it ; he remained quiet , but by way of precaution I still kept the wooden grating under my other arm . Soon another man joined us on the chest , he got on the end , and told us both to strike out for the land , which we all did ; and were getting on very well when we saw to our inexpressible joy a large boat come round the point out of Portpatrick ; we all set up ¦ a shout " Oh boat , for the love of God ! " "Oh , save us ! " " , Oh , we are drowning , " and all that kind of thing . Presently they heard us and approached , and you cannot tell the feelings which arose in my breast . Then the man in the bow laid hold of me to pull me in , I being too weak to scramble in . As soon as

      he had laid me down on the forecastle I fell right over into the body of the b ' oatybut then I was so cold I began to jump and cut away into tho stern sheets , and 1 sat down shivering like half a dozen drowned rats . The other two men were pulled in more dead than alive ; they lay in the bottom , of the boat quite exhausted . We went oh and picked up a poor woman off a piece of the wreck where she had been floating . Then we went to the wreck , which had gone down I suppose when I was under the chest ; the water , then being low tide , was not up to her crosstrees ; . and . there were a great many clinging to the shrouds , Ac . We took a woman and her baby and about eight men off the wreck , and then made for land . 1 all

      the time was jumping to keep myself warm , having nothing on but my shirt . When we got into the harbour I ran up the landing stairs . At the top there was an old woman with a shawl in her band , which she cast about me , and took me to her master's house , whose name was Captain Hawes , R . N . They gave me some warm brandy and water , and put me into a warm bed , where I soon fell asleep . While I am having a comfortable hap at Captain Hawes' house I will tell you what befel Mr . P . After he left ' me he went to the companion , and , when the Orion heeled over he cut up the shrouds , where he remained till the last boat ; he was the last to quit the unfortunate vessel . When I woke I found him sitting by my bedside all right .

      About six o clock they signalled the Fleetwood boat to come in as she was passing at the time ; she did so , but I had no clothes ; but they borrowed for me in the village—trousers that came down to my knees , a waistcoat that would not button , a grey coat all torn , and a pair of boots a mile too high , and a Scotch bonnet ; so with these elegant vestments you may imagine what a figure I was . I went on board the Fenella , and there found a large number of my fellow sufferers ; some had no boots , some no coat , and we were altogether like a gang of gypsies . There were about six dead bodies on the shore when I left , and a boat came alongside the Fenella with a lady and two men quite dead—the . lady had some seaweed on her face . The

      Fenella ' s captain charged us nothing , and at Troon we got into the train to P—— , telling the news as we went ; at P- — - we got a train to G—— , I got into the omnibus at G- — , just missing Papa , who was at the post-office , and created a great sensation in the above-mentioned vehicle ; , one poor woman was so touched that she slipped a fourpenny piece into my hand , and was with great difficulty persuaded to take it back . When I got . home I told mamma that the Orion was a-ground , not to alarm her , and she was so glad to see me that she never noticed my dress , but when she went into the dining room she told them , laughing , that I looked like a

      shipwrecked mariner . Papa soon came home and told her , and she was most awfully frightened when she heard the dangers I had escaped . Captain M'Neil , of Collonsay , was drowned ; with his wife and two daughters ; his two sons were saved . My name was in the paper as "Mr . D . and tutor , " so you will know when you see it . It all happened through the carelessness of the captain running too near shore . I hope all are well , but I am so tired of writing . I can add no farther particulars , so believe me your affectionate cousin , D . June 15 .

      A View Of Sharp's Aner.—It Is A Large Kn...

      A View of Sharp ' s AnEr . —It is a large knacker ' s yard , furnished with all the usual apparatus for slaughtering diseased or worn-out horses , and plentifully bestrewn with the reeking members and frightful refuse of the morning ' s work . But even before the eye—usually the first arid quickest organ in action—has time to glance round , the sense of smell is not only asaaifed , but taken by storm , with a moat horrible , warm , moist effluvium , so offensive , and at the same time so peculiar and potent , that it requires no small resolution in any one , not accustomed to it , to remain a minute within its precincts . Three of the corners are completely filled up with a heap of dead horses lying upon their backs , with their hoofs stiokintr bolt upright ; while two other angles in the yard are filled with a mass

      oi bodies ana fragments , whose projecting legs and other members serve as stretchers for raw skins , — flayed from their companions , or from themselves , lying all discoloured , yet in all coloursi beneath . By this means the skins are stretched out to dry . A few live animals are in the yard . There is one horse—waiting for his turn—as the ox party come in ; his knees are bent , his head is bowed towards the slushy ground , his dripping main falling over his face , and almost reaching with its lank end to the dark muddled ' gore in which his fore hoofs are planted . A strange , ghastly , rattling sound , apparently from the adjoining premises , is kept up without intermission ; a sort of inconceivable rapid devil ' s-tatoo , by way of accompaniment to the hideous scene . Two dead horses are being skinned ; but all the other animals—of the four-footed class

      we mean—are bullocks , in different stages of disease , and they are seven in number . These latter have not been condemned by the inspector , but have been brought here to undergo a last effort for the purpose ofbeing made saleable-swashed " and scrubbed , so as to have the chance of finding a purchaser by torchlight at some very low price ; and failing in this , to bo killed before they die , or cut up as soon after they die as passible . They were all distinguished by slang terrai according to the nature and ! stages of their diseases . The two best of these bad bullocks are designated as " choppers ; " the three next , whose hides are torn in several places , are called •* rough-uns ; " while those who are in a drooping and reekite condition , with literally a

      death-sweat all over them , are playfully called " wet-uns . To this latter class belongs our poor ox , who is now brought in , and formally introduced by the inspector as diseased , and condemned . ' " The others he does not see—or , at least , does not notice —his business being with the ox , who was the last comer . Having thus performed his duty , the inspector retires ! But what ia this ceaseless rattling tattoo that is kept up in the adjoining premises ? The walls vibrate with it ? Machinery of some kind ? Yes—it is a chopping machine ; and here you behold the " choppers , " both horses and diseased bullocks , who : will shortly be in a fit state for promotion , and will then be taken piece : meal next door . Av , it is so , in sober and dreadful seriousness .

      Here , in this Sharp ' s-alley , you behold the largest horse slaughter-houso in the city ; and here , next door , you will'find the largest sausage manufactory in London . —Dickens' " Household Words . " ' " Tab Pouob'Force in Different Towns —The Stockport Mercury says : — " At the meeting of the Manchester town council , last : week , a motion was brought forward by Mr . Bowker for the reduction of the police force , and a . table was read showing the number of the police and the population ol severaHowns , which certainly exhibits our own borough m a very favourable and prominent point of view , as rt clearl y shows that in this borough there are 1 , 305 more inhabitants to each policeman than in any other town or borough in the long list of places enumerated by Mr . Bowker . The cafculation , which is rather under than over the mark , shown that in

      Stockport we have one policeman to ir » I ?'* it habitants : whilat Macclesfield , which o orS ?¦ i .. ' soale » haa . one policeman to every A 8 U 0 inhabitants . The list also show that Stockport has 1 , 692 more inhabitants to each policeman than Bolton ,-1 , 605 ' more than Oldham ; 1 , 995 more than Warrington ; 2 , 144 more than Preston , ' 2 , 545 more than Salford , 2 , 623 more than Halifax , 2 , 659 more than Huddersfield , and no less than 3 , 116 more than Bradford . How does this happen ? The places enumerated have in many respects similar pursuits , tastes , and habits , and yet there is ' a" very great difference mthe amount of protection required for eaohi There must be sursly something in it requiring explanation , and hence such inquiries as that instituted at the Manchester Town Council , if it serves no other object may at least be the means
