      AMERICA * EXPEDITION TO JAPAN .

      (Correspondence Of The Nov York Sun.) V....

      ( Correspondence of the Nov York Sun . ) V . S . _Coiuhbus , _HONOLOXn _, Sept . 20 , 181 C . _Knowing the interest our visit to Japan has excited am * ng civilized nations , I dispatch the following par . ticulars by an opportunity _' _novv offering for Boston , We ailed from Macao on tbe 26 th of May , ostensibly fer the _S-indnich Islands , but with secret instructions to tauch at the ports of Amoy and Chusan , on our way to Japan , and as far a ( possible promote friendly intercourse between tbe Americans in those _, cities and the Chinese inhabitants . In this the gallant _Commodore Biddle wag altogether successful , and after a run of fifteen days wb hove in sight of Japan , and in company with the Vincennes anchored below Yedo , or Jeddo , the commercial metropolis . Having no charts or the h

      -r-bour . and the natives refusing to pilot us up , we remained in the baj . The authorities came off and requested us not to come near the shore . Thej wonld supply us with everything we required , and deliver any _comraunicat ' oi ] we mig ' it bave for their grand Cuboy , or Erapcior , who resides at _Jeddo , seme miles _inland . —Commodore Biddle forwarded his letter of introduction to the Emperor , from the President ofthe United States , which explained tbe objects of ourvirit . The _Cubty is styled the "Ulustrious Monarch under Heaven , " or " the sovereign ol the abode ofthe gods under Sun rising . " llis Majesty rules thirty millions of propl » , he has two hundred arid fifty thousand square miles of territory , an army < . f three hundred thousand infantry and ten thousand ea . valry . Next to the Ciiboy is tbe Vairo ; or spiritual bead ofthe empire . These are _sovereign in their

      _respective governments and each in turn is compelled to obey thc other . The Cuboy has petty princes under bim who rule the provinces into whieh the empire is divide-d . The _Ita'ro ha * twelve wives and tbe Cuboy .-in unlimited number . Polygamy is universal . The religion is likethat of China . In art , science and literature , the Japanese are superior to Ihe Chinese , from whom they are descended . They have converted tlieir barren islantis into beautiful _gardens , which rise n terraces on the mountains . They bave copper , iron , steel and silver , and in working these metal * they are not surpassed bj Europeans . _CwJ also abounds in ibe _Inlands . Tbemannfaetnrc of porcelain and glass , lacquered ware , silk and cotton goods , has been carried cn by them for centuries . Tbeir trade is confined to the Dutch , the Chinese and the Coreans , and the only port open to these is Xungasaki . Their

      dread of foreigners was caused by tin attempt of tbe Portuguese to establish the Roman Catholic religion over thtra in the _beginning of the seventeenth ceatury _, when _Du'ch merchants disclosed the plot to the Japanese priests . The Cuboy himself had embraced tbe Catholic religion , with a third of his people ; and all these , with the Catholic Missionaries , wens slain by the Vario and his religious _followers . Ever since the Dutch merchants have enjoyed exclusive privileges , and all tbe great men o * the empire speak the low Dutch with great fluency . By this means they obtain from Dutch newspapers an accurate knowledge of occurrences _throughout tbe world . As an evidence of tbis , we were astonished to le * _, rn that they had heard of our intended visit . The President ' s letter informed the Empeior that the people of tbe _United States w < re desirous of cultivating friendly relations

      witb the Japanese , to which the Emperor replied that lie had heard of the greatness of the United States ; he hoped they would continue t > be prosperous and happy , but the poliey of his country would not permit bim to open bis ports to any but the Chinese and Dutch , He begged the Commodore to supply himself with what he wanted , that the people would furnish him all that the country _r fforded , and having obtained his supplies , he hoped he would retire from the bay as rapidly as _possible and never return . They _brought us everything we wanted—a * fuel , water , and provisions , < fec , but would take nothing in return . _Accompanying the Smpcror _' _n reply was a bundle of worthless trinkets , as a present from his majesty to Com . _Bidile , which he refused to accept . This puxiled the _Japanese Ambassador . He dared not return witb his presents , so he loitered

      around the deck until nightfall , and then throwing the bundle into the ship ' s baat , darted off to the shore . _Ceimmodore * Bid _« Ue distributed the trinkets among the ' officers . We were not permitted to land , and the Man . dirians told us that if we attempted to law ! by force , they would all commit suicide by ripping' out their intestines , that being the custom of their country . Some accepted our presents , but returned thein all before we left . They would take nothing from us . Most of the officers and people who came on board brought their own provisions with them . Some wanted to _slei-p on board , but were not permitted . We could see none of their women , who are said to excel in beauty and virtue , and resent indignities to their honour by committing snicide at once . Their men are extremely beautiful , and even at middle age present the full development of

      athletic power , with ( he freshness and vigour of youth . They attain a great age . Animal food is not in general use . We coald obtain neither beef nor pork , but received poultry , game , eggs and vegetables iu abundance . Their officers dress in gowns , much like our female attire . Each had two swords , a small one and a large one , equal in temper and finish to our best Araeri . can swordg . The soldiers dress in flexible metallic armour , which Is beautifully japanned , and covers tbe bo Iy and limbs . Each wears on his back the armorial insignia of his regiment , and in some instances a cross was worked in tbeir coat of arms , probably in commemoration of the massacre of the Christians . —Their boats had similar devices on th ir flags , and each _different . In religious opinion * th < y are greatly divided . Tet the _Budhitts , the followers of Sinto and tbe disciples

      of Confucius all agree in the following , which constitute tbe moral philosophy of th ; empire , viz : 1 . not to kill , not to eat any creature that has heen killed ; 2 . net to commit fornication nor adultery ; 3 . not to steal ; 4 . not to lie -, and 5 . to abstain from wine and alt intoxicating drinks . They are friendly and polite in their intercourse with each other and with strangers . Education is universal ; seminaries of learning are established in all the towns , and each of the convents contain one thousand or more learned men , who adopt the principles of celibacy and devote themselves to religion and education . They have a fair knowledge of our arts and sciences ; tbey have books and newspapers , and the art of printing was known among them some hundred years before its invention in Europe . They write from right to left and frora left to right , in continuation . Their notion of suicide is most extraordinary . It is considered meritorious to commit sulci le to avoid disgrace or serve the Cuboy or the Dairo . In cases of earthquakes or storms , from which the Islands suffer every

      f # _-v _moiths . the authorities order numbers of the _people to commit suicide to appease the offended deity , and the order is at once obeyed . These self-sacrifices are generally made to the devil , or the spirit of evil , from fear ofhis power . Tbeir worship of tbe Good Spirit is carried on by sacrifices of fruits and sacred offerings in the temples , before the idols . One ofthe idols at the Island of Meaco , of which a Mandarin gave me some account , is eighty feet broad and seventy feet high , and is made of solid copper from the mines . Ecclesiastical affairs occupy much time . The clergy aro rich and well provided for . In bringing the water to . the ships , the natives used pails and bueksts . . In propelling tbe boats they used sculls . Their largest vessels were from fifty to seventy tons , having one mast and one sail . Taken altogether , the Japanese are a p ' . ain , simple , unostentatious people , and whether the other nations will succeed in opening intercourse * with them , remains to be _teex . A French f leet was to visit Jeddo after us , to be followed by an English fleet , wbich latter will probably batter down tbeir walls .

      I The Past Smd Present.—An Amateur Conce...

      I The Past _smd Present . —An amateur concert has been held at the Spanish Ambassador ' s palace at Rome , for the relief of the _aufferinx Irish . Nearly three hundred years ago , in these identical saloons , _Oliraresand the general ( ofthe Jesuits ) Aquaviva _organised the rebellion of Hugh O'Neil , in Ulster ; rod here * the - * blessing " ofthe Spanish Armada was concocted .

      .H.- ' - ). We Have Received, Throuch Mr...

      . h _.- ' _- ) . We have received , throuch Mr Staliwood . the folio win ? letter from the manager of the " British Mutual Emigration Association" : — 141 , _Leadenhall-street _, 26 th March , 1847 . I am grieved to learn that the Northern Star has designated my plan of Emigration a swindle . I , as a thoroughpaced Democrat , deny it . Thc ptoplo can go into clubs for everything , let them now establish clubs for emigration , and not allow themselves tobe chained to this land , the Union Bastile on one side , the Prison on the other . Let any man or editor who can comprehend my plan , read it and he will say it is tbe only one that is worth notice . Emigration it more talked of than understood . I advise no one to leave their country , bad as it is , unless there is a provision for them up to the first crops . I have power

      of attorney for giving 40 _ucre 6 free to emigrants . Ihave credentials and certificates of the respectability of the committee . On the other side , the landowners are all desirous of giving 40 acres free . Western Texae is more healthy than England . It is a most unjustifiable attempt on the part of tbe government authorities to crush the People ' s Association . Texas is destined to become the greatest cotton , sugar , tobacco and "Binegroivixig country in the world , and 1 point it out to my fellow-countrymen to go thete and participate v . * , its riches . I distinctly assert that any honest , toher , industrious man , having the 40 acres and the provision up to his first crop , caB , in 5 or 7 years , completely work out his own redemption ,

      and he in a comparative state of independence ; such is not the case in the British Colonies . It is very strange that the authorities are so very sensitive of tbe . _peopl" , but it is a gr . at pity they did not consider my p lans before the attack . Her _Majesty ' s Consul , Kennedy , in his book , declares Western Texas ( and all other writera and travellers ) to be most healthy . In his absence , his deputy declares tbe reverse . If any unbiassed ma « will pay m _« a vieit , I will show him indubitable proofs of all the falsity of its stated insalubrity , etc . Itis the old _gime , Monarchies v Republics ; but yet the majority oi emigrants will continue to goto the United States , R Rowed .

      Though this country , with its "Union Bastile er the one side and the Prison on the other , " is bad en'mgh , it is nevertheless possible to go further anil fare worse . The natural capabilities of Texas con cernusnot . Thc interior of Africa may be rich ir natural productions , but this is but poor compensa tion for tbe barbarism of its people and the deadly in fluence of its climate upon Europeans . Now there an good ground * for doubting the asserted capabilities o the soil of Texas , * still more for believin ? that tin clima t e is most unhealthy and fatal to Europeans and if the Texans are not chargeable wi h * ' barbar ism , " no incmsiclerab ' c number ofthem are notori _ovis for _tulRlmism It is _proverbial that f r long time past Texas has been the moral sink ot thi United States , and '' Gone to Texas" has been meani

      to _convey the impression that the individual hat lotted from his creditors , bowie-knifed somebody , oi committed some other crime which rendered his ro . journ amongst the congenial spirits of Texas necessary . It may suit Mr Rowcd _' s purpose to impute base motives to the British government for the inter ference of its _asents in warning too credulous crai . _t-ranrs against _risking all for Texas , but we care nothins : ab > ut motives , the act itself has our hearty ap . provai , as tending to save many from committing themselves to destruction . It is all fudge to attempt to make this a question o _? Monarch * cil versus Republican Governments . There are ns big scoundrels calling themselves " Republicans" and "Citizens" as any that glory in the " right divine ; " and of such _ucoun rels it is notorious that Texas hasrather more flan an _average share .

      We think , before Mr Rowed complained of our een'Ie censure , he should have act himself and _associates right by _proving the Lord Mayor wrong . It will b _> remembered that on a recent occasion the Lord Mayor ? a d tbat—He had felt bound , as chief magistrate of London , npon sucb a representation as he had received , to make inquiries into the nature and character of ths institution , and he must say that all the information he received tended to _mate an unfavourable impression upon his mind with _respect to the association . He , therefore , would publicly declare , that in his opinion the association was one into which people should enter with great caution . To this Mr _Rowed _' s solicitor answered _that—Tlic-re were several most respectable references wbich were calculated to show that the institution was a bona fide one , and that the committee of directors , who were o guarantee the protection of all emigrants sent to Texas , were of unemestianable integrity anel honour _. The Lord Mayor declared

      that—He could not see to "torn tfce persons who migbt be induced to emigrate were to look for security . There wns no name in the prospectus at all known to the mercantile community of London ; and to whom were _individuals to look for thc proper application of the £ 2 , 500 to be placed , as the proprietors stated , in the Bank cf England , and to form a ground for a loan of £ _' 2 b to each emigrant ? The gentlemen alluded to as responsible were not tangible . They were beyond the jurisdiction of this country . Mr Rowed ' s _solicitor said—It was _intended to appoint trustees for the adequate security ofthe interests oftlie emigrants _. The Lord Mavor rejoined

      that—The appointment of _tiustees frem nmongst substantial men well known in the metropolis would certainly confer upon the association features whieh it did not at all possess at present . Tbat its existing pecuniary resources were not very _flourishing or inviting was manifest from the fact , that the person _evho printed the very documents which described its charms was not able tu get thcaniount ofhis bill . To conclude that an association in sucb a condition as to funds had the stamina which should recommend it tothe public _tupp-rt , with tht view of carrying out a great public object , was _-ibsurd in tlie extreme . On a subsequent day Lieutenant Lean . R . N ., the Government Emigration Agent for the port of London , waited upon the Lord Mayor , nnd handed to that magistrate the following circular : — CAUTION RESPECTING tMlCRATION TO TEXAS .

      _Emigrantsare warned that her Majesty ' s _Vie'e » _Consei ' , at Galveston , in a despatch dated the Gill of Januarj last , states , that from the _experience of a six years' residence in Texas , he docs not hesitate to pronounce that certain statements whieh have receutly appeared respecting the salubrity ofthe climate , the fertility of the _BOlI _, and tlie richness of the mineral productions of Texas , are greatly exaggerated , and there is a m lancholy evidence of the fact , in the misery suffered by many ofthe emigrants attached to the German Emigration Association . He fur . ther expresses a conriciion , that if British subj _* _-c : s sh' _. ul'l be _induced to emigrate to Texas they will probably encounter sickness and destitution _. By order of her Majesty ' s Colonial Land and Emigration _Ceemmissioners , S . _Wiicorr , Secretary . Colonial Lan _3 and Emigration Office , 9 , Turk-street , Westminsitr _, March , 1817 . The Lord Mayor

      said-It was certainly most gratifying to him to receive a confirmation of his opinions , and of tbe intelligence which he had received , upon such an authority as that of the agent nf colonial emigration for the port of London . He saw soon enough that the object of ihe promoters of tbe association was to get possession ofa considerable sum ol money . He _quest : one < 3 a professional gentleman who attended upon the jpart of Mr Rowed , the inanag' r , as to the security the emigrants would have that any ofthe promises held forth in the prospectus irould be per . formed ; but all the information ho could obtain whs the assurance of Mr . Rowed's respectability , and thathe did not by any means consider adequate to thc occasion .

      Some two or three years ago we raised a hornets nest about our ears by refusing to countenance the road or wickca schemes of _Etzler and his associates and dupes . Now _* ei the result . The _emigranis to that South Araeri an paraditeVcnezuela have lor the most part died like rotten sheep ; the remainder are living in misery in that land which was to be to them an El Dorado . The large sums of money subscribed ly the Etz _' erites have been utterly wasted , and those who have merely lost their money but saved themselves by staying at home may thank

      their good luck . The Venezuela juggle is now utterly exploded . Several of the disappointed members who have been so fortunate as not to have ¦* gone out , " have joined the Chartist Land Company , and we are informed that bitter regrets are expressed by the wretched survivors of thc expedition , in their letters to their friends in this country , that they ever left home , and that they did not invest their money in the Chartist Land Company , instead of listening to the delusive schemes of emigration agents .

      Mr Rowed has set forth that "the colonies of German emigrants in Texas arc in a very flourishing condition ' . " We take the following extract from a recent number oftlie _Mudgebourg _Zeitung . _*—The mania for emigration is again very great , and it is very evident that many more Germans will leave tbeir native land this year tban even in the preceding . Itis heartily to be wished that they would take warning from cxper ence and at any rate not go to Texas , from whence great nu * nbers of unfortunate dupes sire constantly returning . Tbey give a mournful account of the Germans who hare emigrated thither . The wonderful natural productions aud capabilities of Texas so glowingly described by Mr Rowed do not appear to great advantage in the following statement ( extracted from thc Washington National Era ) from an American gentleman trading in Texas , and dated December , i 840 : — The city of Galveston is now thc most commercial

      point of Texas . It is rudely built « f wood , and so compact tbat a single fire might sweep the entire town . For this reason , it is difficult for the merchants to effect an insurance on their stores or goads ; such as do insure pay an enormous premium . I send attached my reports , from which you will see there is but little capital in Texas , and merchants generall y must be trusted with great caution . 1 do not think tbat tbe possession of large landed estates in Texas entitles a man to the _reputation ol h _, or shonld give him credit at the east . It is trne tli fo ' in many parts , is fertile ; yet , if I owned 1 , 000 , 000 _an- « * ot' Texas land , I could not raise 500 dols * upon it in 60 days' time . You merchants , therefore , who sell Texas merchants on account of their property in land , may expect to bave ths _satitfuetion of Hiking land

      .H.- ' - ). We Have Received, Throuch Mr...

      for pay . In my opinion , T . _xas is very much overrated , and its future history will disappoint many . Those who have set it forth in so glowing colours , have been , without exception , persons who were Interested as landlords , Texas cannot be a cotton-growing country . Thnt it has much cotton soil , canuot be denied ; but the insect which destroys the cotton so abounds here tbat the crop _rnust h 3 a failure . In other states , there is sufficient cold at times to kill tbis insect which is not true in Texas . There the rose and geranium -grow like weeds , without sufficient frost to check their growth , during the _winter season . In some parts , corn can be raised ata considerable extent ; hut in others , it will often fail on account of drought . I cannot see , from my close observations , bow Texas can ever be a state of great commercial importance . I have been much disappointed . Since thc above was in type we have noticed the f ollowing in last Saturday ' s number of Ilowitt ' s Journal : —

      _Moiu'i , Emi gbatiok Societies . — We have received many inquiries from people in the country respecting the flaming prospectuses of Mutual Emigration Societies , and we hive felt it our duty to put such persons on their guard against these societies . Our own inquiries led to the discovery that the parties whose names were attached to these schemes bad no mercantile status ; and our information _regarding the climate and condition of Texas added to the conviction that the whole scheme was a hoax of the worst description . We see tbat one of these _( t'beines has at length received a due exposure beforo the Lord Mayor ; but others are afloat , and we bid unsuspecting individuals who nre anxious to emigrate beware . Emigration even to the United States requires the utmost caution For those who doubt it , let them read Ihe

      statement given in "Young America" of Feb . 6 , and quoted into the " _Kovthtrn Star , * ofthe condition ol emigrants in New York . _figr Further rereli tions of Texas in our next .

      Opening Of The Birkenhead Docis. Easter ...

      OPENING OF THE BIRKENHEAD DOCIS . Easter Monday having been fixed for tbe opening of a portion of the Birkenhead Docks , the Birkenhead Park , and the extension of the Chester Railway to tbe Docks , every preparation was made by the directors of those several undertakings to give to the occasion all the attraction of a general holyday , thc master-contractors , builders , and _tradesmen , on the Cheshire side of the Mersey not only allowing every facility to their workmen to assist atthe celebration , but giving the boon of a day ' s pay to enable them to do _«• with unalloyed gratification . Exlra trains from Manchester , Bolten , and other districts , and steamers from the Liverpool shore , continued from an early hour to pour vast crowds of visitors into Birkenhead , till nearly 70 . 000 persons were collected along the banks and piers _. The ceremony of opening the docks and park was

      assigned to Lord Morpeth , as Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests , to whom belongs part of the _Wallasey estate . A special train , with Lerd Lincoln , Lord Monteagie , and other visitors , left London about six in the morning , and arrived In Birkenhead at twelve o ' clock . Shortly after that hour the Lords _Commissioners _, witb ether distinguished guests , the Birkenhead Dock Commissioners the Birkenhead Improvement _Commissioners , the Direotors of the Birkenhead Bock ( _Wurehoutes ) Company , the Director ! of the Birkenhead , Lancashire , and Cheshire Junction Railway , and the Directors of the Chester and Birkenhead Railway , _embarked at Monk ' 6 Ferry on board the Lord Warden , a handsome new iron steamer . Six pieces of artillery were pasted along the quays ; and the steamer , which was

      beautifully decorated , started amid music , the roar of cannon , and the cheers of the spectators . After steaming about a mile up the river , the boat returned , and , similarly saluted in its progress , slowly entered the new docks , and moored alongside the south wall of thc Bridge-end Dock ; after which the party repaired to the new warehouses lo partake of a dejeuner , at which 800 Indies and gentlemen sat down . Four of the warehouse rooms , each 1 ' 0 feet long and 50 feet wide , were beautifully and tastefully fitted up for the festival with pink and white drapery . The walls and roofs were lined with fluted drapery . The receptionroom was adorned with a magnificent cascade , which poured out a crystal jet amidst a profusion of choice conservatory plants and flowers _.

Lord Morpeth's health having been proposed by the eh aires an , his lordship in reply 'improved the occasion " as follows : —We hear sometimes of the old gala days of Venice , when the Do _; e went forth in bis goldf n galley to plight his faith to the wave which bathed llis palaces—( hear )—but we have seer , something tbis day beyond _i ven ths dreams of Venice . For instance , such an array of steamers as haa to-day graced the Mersey , never could hive been witnessed in Venice ; and though perhaps a steamer , when viewed by itself , miay not bepo picturesque an object as a gondola , I may yet remind you tbat even in the palmiest days of her pomps and her argosies , Venice never could have sent forth a message which in ten ' ays might reach those harbours and roadsteads of the new

      world where her fl . ig never waved . A pleasing _« men I shall think it . if amongst the first uses of tbat ample basin into which our vessel to day has been the first to glide , surrounded by all those striking specimens of engin _ering skill as . ! admirable masonry , we should apply those _woikstothe admi-sion of the surplus harvests of more favoured regions , and make provision for the broad which keepeth alive . ( Hear , hear . ) Next in the progress of time—I hope in the course of this very autumn—you will bo able to bear your part in accommodating the timber trade . I will not proceed further in those long vistas of usefulness , of enterprise , and of success , which , I trust , will stretch out before the future prospects it Birkenhead , and to which 1 hope the proceedings of this day will bave given an auspicious commencement , and a powerful impulse . ( Hear , hear . ) I would just express a hope

      in passing that the best feeling and best understanding _« ill always prevail between you and the great city immediately opposite you . ( Cheers . ) Liverpool divides with London tbe supremacy of the commerce of the modern world , and as London could only feel bene fired by the expansion of Southwark , Liverpool can never have cause t * repine at the growth o'Birkenhead . Believe me , _gentlomen _, and 1 hope aU on the other side of the wnter will believe roc too , that if ever your own wide Mersey was thoroughly walled by a double wall of docks of warehouses , there will not be mere than room for the corn , the cotton , and the forests of the western hcroisuhere . ( Hoar , hear . ) And I trust you have tbis day forged a _neev and an abiding link to tbat chain of ami . y which ought ever to connect England with America . It is well known the attractions of Birkenhead are not limited to

      its water frontage , and that if tbe genius of a Rendullhas completed its docks , the skill of a Paxton has laid out its pleasure grou : ids . ( Hear , hear . ) Nor will my most recent occupation _jiertnic me to forget that tbis is one ofthe fir * t places which has begun a systematic attention tothe physical comforts of the vast numbers of workmen it culls together , and thcimportant subject of public-heal h . Wiih this assurance about us and around us , I feel that the pageant of to-day , even when its gaieties shall hare passed _aevay and its _i-houis are silent , will still give us grounds for remembrance that it has not been a triumph which gathers its trophies from the strife of nationB aud the arts of destruction—ibat it has not been a mere unmeaning sacrifice to frivolity and dissipation , but that it has struck its roots deep in public usefulness , and will bear rich fruitu of peace and progress through coming ages .

      Spontaneous Combustions on _doaiid Her Majrstv ' s Steam Vessels , Subarw & ter _asid _Tobtoisk . — Official information has just been received at Woolwich Dockyard of fires having broken out on board these two vessel ** , through spontaneous combustion . The first occurred on board the Shearwater , steam vessel ( 2 guus ) , Commander Sir G . Webster , Bart ., stationed at Oban , where , on the 20 th of March last , a fire broke out in her coal bunker , nnd on the next day in thc opposite one . With tho united exertions of the oificers and crew , after some hours' working at the pumps , it was extinguished , but not before great damage was done _ai-d the fear of being compelled to run her on shore an I scuttle her . It is expected she will be ordered home to Woolwich Dockyard for repairs . The second was on board the Tortoiso ( 2

      guns ) , store ship , Captain Hutton , stationed as guard ship at the Island of Ascension , lor the supply of the African steam fquadron with coals . The lire broke out among the coals , a signal gun was tired , and the whole troops in garrison wero put in requisition , when , after four days' nnd nights' hard work her hold was cleared , and the lire extinguished , but not till nearly all her beams were burnt from three to five inches through ; as it was , had not the united exertions of the officers and men of tbe marines and naval crews of the vessels been prompt , she must have burnt down to the water ' s edge ; had she not been lined with copper in .-ide , she must have been a wreck . It is expected from this eircuni . * _* tance that the Lords of the Admiralty will order all vesseU to have a copper lining which are employed under similar

      circumstances , . The Swedenborgians of Louth ate lending their tracts by liamlf ' uls , and the . Mormons are tickling the fancies of some with " a dialogue between Josh .

      Tnu Rivai Parishes . —At Taunton Assizes Thos . Penall was indicted for killi'g and _slayinc * William Holland , and Henry Brake , George Chart , and William Frampton were indicted for being present aiding * and abetting Thomas Penal ! in tbe said felony . The facts of this case were very simple . It appeared that on Monday , September 7 th , a friendly society , called the Odcombo Club , met and dined _toirether at a public house called the Pye Corner Public-house . There were also some men from an adjoining parish , called West Coker , drinking in the houBe , and at about ten o ' clock in the evening a , quarrel arose between the men ofthe two parishes ;

      this came to blows , and a fight took place outside the house . The witnesses for the prosecution swore that this fight was commenced by the Odcombe men , while the defendants' witnesses swore that it was commenced by the Coker men . Thc Coker men , getting the worst of the fray , took to _il'ght . pursaed by the Odcombe men , and a running fight was kept up , sto . ies being freely thrown by both parties , one of which was alleged lo be thrown by the prisoner Penal , unfortunately struck the head of the _deceased and fractured his skull , of which injury ho subsequently died . Mr Justice Cresswell having summed up , the jury found all the prisoners Guilty . Mr Justice Cresswell then sentenced the prisoners , who had been six months in gaol , to one month ' s imprisonment .

      _Chaiwe of Murder . -- 'At Monmouth Assizes , Hannah Thomas was indicted for the wilful murder of Jamc * Thoma " , her illegitimate child , at Pontypool , mi tV . e 27 ih February . The trial occupied eight hours , and a number of _witnesses were examined , but thc folio-ring is a summary of the principal facts : —It appeared that the prisoner was admitted into the Pontypoo ] Union workhouse , on the 3 rd December list , being then in a state of pregnancy , and on the 16 th February she was confined of a male child , wliich was said to be remarkably strong and healthy in appearance . A widow named Mary Miller , was also an inmate ofthe Union , with her two children , one being seven , and the other nine years _« f age These children had the

      ringworm , and their mother was in tbe habit of rubbing their heads with a lotion of diluted sulphuric acid , which was kept in a bottle on a window in the women's ward kitchen , together with a cup into which it was poured wben wanted , and a piece of rag witb which it was applied . The prisoner had told another inmate of the house that the stuff was rank poison , and would even eat the caps off the children ' s heads , so that it seemed she was aware of the deadly nature of the contents of the bottle . On the day beforo the child died the prisoner was observed by a girl named Jane Reece , and another person to do something with the cup and bottle , nnd then co away . She was asked what she wanted there ! But she made noreplv . Some time after

      Mrs Miller went to tho cup and found that a little of the lotion she had left in it had been in some way disposed of , as the cup was then quite dry . The child was taken ill the same day , and a _yello-v foam issued from its mouth ; one of the lips _^ was also observed to be sore . The prisoner said she did not know what was tbe matter with the child , but sbe thought it had had a fit . When Roecea _** ked her what waa the matter with the child , _vhe replied " Oh . nothinff , butit will not long trouble any one ; I should be glad if it would die , for my mistress would he very glad to see me go home without the chiM . " A woman named Lewis asked her how the sore came on the child ' s lip , and she said it had been there for days . Lewis rejoined , "Why , it was not there this morning . " To this remntk Thomas made no reply . Margaret Thompson slept in the same room with

      the prisoner , and in the _eveninc she said , " Margaret _, ray child is very poorly . " Thompson said at bed time " If the child getB worse let me know . " About six o ' clook the next _morninir , the 27 th of February _, she said , " Margaret , I think the child is dead . " Thompson took it in her arms and found it was so . She told the prisoner , who cried very much , and then went and called Mr * Perkins , the master . The clothes the child had worn appeared scorchptl in place- * , and on being pnt in water dropped to pieces . The opinion of Mr _Cossens , the surgeon , was , after examining the body , tbat the child died from tbe effects of sulphuric acid , a spoonful of which would have been sufficient to have produced the appearances presented . His lordship summed up with great care , and the jury , after about six minutes' deliberation , fitnmed a verdict of Not Guiltv .

      Dr Crosin ' s Trial . —M the Central Criminal Court , Dennis Cronin surrendered to take his trial upon an in'ictment charging him with the _manslaughter of Sarah Ellen _Collyer . The indictment alleged that before the commission oftlie felony the deceased was sick and distempered in her body , and that the defendant undertook to treat her in a medical capacity for such illness , and in the course of that treatment administered to her a certain noxious , dangerous , and destructive compound , composed of spirits of ammonia , prussic acid , and bitter almond water , and thereby caused ber death . Very voluminous evidence was entered into , and the jury after a brief space of time returned a verdict of Not Guilty . Caution to Servants .--At the Middlesex Sessions .

      George Anderson , aped 22 . was indicted for stealing two co-its , value £ i , thc property of Georgo Marsha )) . TI 13 prisoner knocked at tlte door of the prosecutor ' s house , and when it was opened by the female _servant he inquired for her master . While the girl went up stairs to inform her master , he ran off w ' _. th the coat- * - , which were hanging in the hall . The jury returned a verdict of Guilty . The l « avned judge read the following curious epistle , which was handed to bim hy the Governor ofthe gaol in which the prisoner was confined . The latter had actually written the note with a nail nnd his own blood , but it was in terccptcd before it reached the person for whom it

      was intended : — "My dear Carey—I ham sorrcy to seyou Cut up so mutch about me , but keep yoursprts Lp—you talk to my witnesses and get them to not swarc to me—tell th -m that I will give them £ 5 between them t <> get me Acquit ed . Directly I get out I will give it them . I rote this with a nail and Blood . Tell my witnesses to go out of tbe Court when they hear my Name Called out and cum back in _ab-iut an hower it will be all rite . " The prisoner said that he picked the note up in one of the cells . The learned judge said that as it did not appear that he had been previously convicted he would not be transported . lie was sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour for six months in the liouse of Correction .

      Dkeadfit, Murders.—At A Late Sitting Of ...

      _Dkeadfit , Murders . —At a late sitting of the Court oi Assizes of t _!* c department of the Bns-Rhin , a man named Gicell was indicted for the _murd-jr of a person named _Feirtwengler , and his servant , residing at Selcstat . Fortwengler and his wife kept a small public-house , which was much frequented by the lowest class of society , but they were generally believed to be in possession of considerable sums of money . In the month of December last the prisoner passed some time at their house . He returned ac ,. iin on thc 2 Sth of that month , and asked for a lied , but _Fort-vengler , apparently from some vague presentiment , declined to give it him . Two itinerant Italian or _? _un-grinders subsequently went to the place to sleep . At an early hour the next morning

      they were aroused by hearinc groans of agony ; and shortly after a man entered the room , and apenvd the window . " Dou't do tha * , " said one of the Italians , " it is very cold ! " The man rushed upon him without speaking , seized him by tiie throat , and endeavoured to strike him on the ' head with an axe The two Italians rose , and attempted to secure the man , but after a violent struggle he escaped . They then cried for help , and the villagers hastened to the spot . Theprisoner was seen to leave the house in a tranquil manner , but on the denunciation of thc Italians be was brought back . On entering tbe chamber of the Fortwenglers , tbe villagers were horror-stricken to find Mmc . Fortwengler lying on the ground , clotted with blood , and writhing in great agonv , from a multitude of wounds inflicted on different parts cf her person . In the kitchen her husband was discovered with his _t-kiillliterilly smashed , . -uid presenting a hideous-spectacle , from the

      amalgamation of his blood , brains , and hair . In another room thc domestic , an aged man , was found in a dying state , from several wounds . He shortly after expired , but not before he bad been able" to indicate the prisoner as the perpetrator oi the crime . It appeared , moreover , that the prisoner had been seen prowling about the house at an early hour in the morning , and that he must have entered it immediately on the doors being opened . It was proved that the axe « ith which the crimes had evidently been committed had been stolen by the prisoner trom a person with whom he had worked . The woman eventually recovered , nnd _lecognised the prisoner as the assassin . The jury declared him guilty , and the coijrt immediately passed sentence of death . During the trial he protested his innocence , and when asked if he had anything to say against the passing o < the sentence , exclaimed , " Have I merited death ? Must I , who have done nothing , sufl ' er for another ?"

      Railway Accident . —An accident of rather a serious nature has occurred on the Ayrshire Railway , which , although disastrous enough , was fortunately not fatal in its results . The iron beam supporting a viaduct , near Kilwinning , partially gave way , it would appear , as a goods train was passing . The onsequence was , tha * - the engine , tender , and one of tlie trucks , were thrown off the rails by the starting of thc sleepers , the engine and tender being pitched overthe _banU into the field . Thoengineman and stoker miraculously escaped without injury , but the two guards , we regret to learn , were _Beriously , although we hope not dangerously , injured . The viaduct was immediately put in repair , so that no further danger need be apprehended .

      Russian Policy . —We learn from _Kcenigsberg ( Prussia ) that all the Russian _studonts of tbat university , about ISO in number , have been ordered-to return to their country immediately . It is said that the Emperor Nicholas intends to forbid all his subjects to receive their education in foreign universities _.

      _followimthe two last speakers , said , ho presumed they all admitted a First Cause , and that cause was generally taken as the Divinity / Taking this generally-admitted basis , he should say all must proceed from this cause , and consrqnentlv all must partake of the di . vinity , and hence Mr Trumble ' s definition must ba the correct one . ( Hear , hear . ) Sacred history bore them out as to the accep- ability of pleasure , for in the "inspired _writinss" did they not find "Le - the loud timbrel , " and thc "Song of SolomonV * thus proviiiif , even in those days , that both vocal and instrumental music was in vogue . A _^ ain . in those same writings did they not rend aa account of " David ' s dancing before the ark ? " The

      the human family ; for his part he felt a pleasure " n reading the Northern Star .

Mr Ashe illustrated his arguments by quoting _Cassio's speech on drunkenness , from the _tra-redy of Othello , and said he hailed with delight snch meetings as these , and contended thnt such pleasures we ' re well calculated to advance the hap . _piness of human kind . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Boffler ¦ ery ably followed on the same side . Mr Trumble replied , and thc debate stood adjourned until Saturday ( this evening , ) April the 10 th . at eight o ' clock .
