      uso .- —We learn that vlie Government have _rcoivc-l forthwith to despatch A 5 , Soyer , tho _ch-f de cuisine of the _lU-furm Club , to Ireland , with ample instructions to provide iiis soups for thc starving millions of Iriiih people . Pursuant to the wise and considerate resolve , artificers are at present busied day and night consti-uctin- _; the necessary kitchens , apparatus , & e ., with which M . Soyer starts for Dublin direct to the Lord-Lieutenant . His plans have been examined both by the authorities nt thc Board of Works and at the Admiralty , and have , after mature consideration , been deemed quite capable of ; answering the object sought . The soup has been served to several of tho best judges of thc noble art of

      gastronomy in the Reform Club , not as soup for thc poor _but _' . _as'A soup furnished for thc day in thc carte . The members who partook of it declared it excellent Anions these may be mentioned . Lord Titchlicld and Mr . O'Connell . M . Soyer can supply the whole poor of Ireland at one meal for each person once a day . lie has informi-d the executive that a belly-full of _hi-i soup once a day , together with a biscuit , will be more than sufficient to sustain thc strength ofa strong and healthy man . The food is to be " consumed on tlie promises . " Those who . are to partake enter at one avenue , and having been served they retire at another , so that there will be neither stoppage imr confusion . To the infant , the sick , and the aged , aswell as to distant districts , the food is to be conveyed iu cars furnished with portable apparatus for

      keeping the soup perfectly hot . It would be pemature to enter further into details . M . Soycr has _satit-fied tho Government that he can furnish enough and to spare of most _nourishing food for the poor of these realms , and it is confidently anticipatedthat there will soon be no more deaths from starvation ia . Ireland . With regard to the metropolis , the arrangements are by no means at a _stand-stili . Sites for kitchens are being elected ; but here a slight difficulty has arisen , the inhabitants of the localities be ' _in- * naturally averse to witness the assemblages of tllO poor , the destitute , and the needy _brought together to receive soup . Sites in Westminster , ifc is understood , where little or no annoyance will be occasioned to the respectable inhabitants , "have been selected , and Mr . Cotton , ofthe Bank of England , has oflured a large and convenient place for the East end .

      the doors , _threatr-uing at the _santetimca forcible entrance . Things began to assume the most alarming _a- . _ir . earancca , w _» nd _expostulation having proved useless , a body ofthe police of tlie L division was sent for , and notwithstanding thc formidable number of rioter * * , " * _theboWu-8 " _succeeded in apprehending the ringleaders , -und clearim _; the _neiglAiourhood of their violent followers . _'Aliis _workl-susc already numbers nearly _fc _. OOO inmates , the relief for which body forms no _itK-onsiderable item for thc burdened rate-payers of tlw * parish .

      _Ftrks . _—Islikston . — -On Monday morning , shortly after six o ' clock , a fire was discovered on the premises of Mr , Hooper , Ei | _-hbury _* terrace , Islington . _Tfee cause had Itccn traced to the _mrer-heating of a kitchen line , which set the _jostlings and bond'timbers in a blase . The parish engine ** wens soon on the opot , and thc flames _wei-e subdued , tut not until considerable ikimage was-doneto the premises and the furniture . _Fortunateh * tho occupier is insured in tlte Licensed Victuallers' office . _liKTUHAL-Gnsxs Same niurning > lire broke out . at 7 . _Mauchestertstrcet , _Bcthnalf-rcen . When discovered , about 30 trusses oi " hav and straw were burnine * in the stable at the rear of the private houses .

E _* ch ofthe deceased bad been in a bad _^ tatc of health when sent to Woolwi * - _*" _- _* _- , * and

      Mr . _Bossey , the eurgeon , said he thought it highly important to let it po forth _rto the world that the cause of the large mortality at Woolwich arose from Government having made the Royal Arsenal the convict invalid depot , from both home and foreign establishments . Recently a larg ? . draught of _theso unfortu- 'ttte sick beings arrived from Bermuda , which would account for the mort .-. ltty being so _lar- _" _* _** _, as all the aged and infirm were tent te Woolwich to be restored to health or die . The labour they performed was comparatively light .

      Another Maniac _Kailwat _Tuavkllur .-The rapidity of locomotion peculiar to railway travelling would really appear to have a most extraordinary effect on the minds of _soire men , if one may judge from the _strange occurrences every now and then taking place on the principal lino- of railway . It is only a few weeks since that the public were startled by an account of a gentleman who , after threatening to murder his companion in a first-class carriage 011 the _Aorth-Western Railway , leaped from thc train , and , by a miracle , escaped with only a few slight bruises . A few days ago an incident of a somewhat similar character occurred on the South-Eastern _Ifculway . A person of respectable appearance , whose name has since teen ascertained to be Scott , booked himself at the F « lkstonc station of this line by a third-class train fur London . During thc progress of the train his manner attracted the observation of some of his fcllow-passcngers , but it was not until

      their arrival at the Godstone Road station that anvthing of a serious character . occurred . On reaching this place , however , Mr . Scott . exhibited an extraordinary degree of excitement , ; and calling aloud for assistance , declared that his fellow-passengers were attempting to stab him with their knives . Tho guard endeavoured to appease him , but he insisted on getting out of the carriage . Under the impression that if the train were once in motion the unfortunate man would remain quiescent , the guard gave thc signal to " the driver to proceed . He had scarcely done so when Mr . Scott bur 3 t open the carriage door , and jumping on the platform , bounded over tlio hedge into an adjoining field , across which he ran at full speed . The guard observing all that had occurred , immediately stopped the train , and giving chase , came up with the poor fellow in a fow moments . Partly by persuasion and partly by force , he induced him to return , and having placed bim in a second-

      class carriage , under the care ofa porter and tv , o of tlw passengers who kindly offered te undertake tho _dcSaj-cecAblo'duty , tho train again proceeded . After the train was in motion Mr . Scott's excitement increascd _. _atfd notwithstanding tbe utmost precautions , he contrived to force bis head and shoulders through the window of the carriage , smashing the glass and frame tw pieces , and being with moat difficulty . provented from precipitating himself out ofthe carriage . On arriving at London Bridgo he was consigned to the care of tha police , who conveyed him to the

      Soathwark Police court . Mr . _Pulstord attended on the part of the company , and by desire of Mr . Maccrecor , the chairman of thc board , on the magistrate undertaking to sec that the unfortunate man wns restored to the caro of his friends , expressed the desire ofthe directors to take no further proceeding in the matter . It has been ascertained that Mr . Scott is a student for the Catholic priest & iood , and . that he was on his way from a collegiate institution at Calais to Liverpool , where his friends resided , when the above facts occitrred

Morcan , greengrocer , No . 138 , High-street , Shadwell , wero discovered to be on lire . An insfntit a _' _atm was raised , and after considerable trouble , the inmates _, who were in their beds asleep , were aromed . By that period , tho lower portion oftlie prenrscs was wrapped in fire , and thc flames were ascending the staircase with such fury that none of the inmates were able to escape by the regular means .

      parties were _taken-from the windows ; and stranee to say , not one of thera received tho least personal injury . Snme idea ofthe fury of thu flames , and the _intsnsc heat to which they were exposed , may bo formed , when it is stated , that tho instant after the residents had left the house , the fire shot through the front windows -witli fho greatest fury .

      station , was knocked down by its power , nnd hud it not been for the timely aid afforded by otlitr firemen , he doubtlessly would have lost iiis life in thc building . By dint of great pi-vseverar . ee , the flames were extinguished before twelve o ' clock ; the d _** mage done , however , is very considerable : fortunately , the _proprietor of the premises was insured in the Pine iix ai : d Uniim Fire-offices , _llnw t \ ic lire _eiriginreitei could not be _ascrrtained . About an hour previous , a fire broke out in thc premises occupied by Mr . George Wild , _u carpenter and builder , situ itc in West-street , _Spa-i-oiid , Bermondsey . The c _' luse is wrapped in mystery . The engines of tho parish , London brigade , and West of England offices , reached the scone of conflagration in a spneo of time a _' most incredibly brief , but the flames were not extinguished until a building , 30 feet by 13 , in which _tla-firc began , was destroyed . Unfortunately the s _.- _* nic ii nut insured .

      Railway Incmknt . —On Wednesday information of thc _fullowin-j imposition and robbery was received by the police : —A few d . iys since Mr ? . Phillips , a lady residing at 3 , Upper _Kenningtcn-greeii , while proceeding on a visit to _Eshcr , by tlio South Western Railway , met in one of the first-class carriages with a young man of elegant appearance , evidently a foreigner , who entered into conversation with her , and made himself a most agreeable companion during tho short journey . On Tuesday afternoon the gentleman , who had by some means or other ascertained Mrs . Phillips s address , called at her residence , and requested an interview with her , wliich was granted . In the course of their _tcte-a-htc , tho

      gentleman informed the lady that ho was the secretary to tlie Russian crolwssy in this country , and handed her a card , on whieh was engraved the name of " Eniilic Knoekeiidorscy , Russian Embassy , " and before thc interview was concluded he had so ingratiated himself with his new acquaintance as to obtain from her ( under what fraudaulent pretence has not yet transpired ) a gold Geneva watch and a £ 5 Bank of England note , with which ho look his departure . A few minutes after he left the house Mrs . Phillips missed from the room a small packet containing seven pairs of mw French kid _tlovcs . That di . * covery caused on Mrs .

      Dreadful Shipwreck* The Following Accoun...

      DREADFUL SHIPWRECK * The following account of _thft appalling shipwreck _ofaFrcn _-j h vessel appeared in the Times of Monday : — " 'l'he vessel , named Emilie _, a brig of 210 tons , was of Nantes , she had four months ago been tc Dun kirk with fruit , where thc captain , _whose name was Selidre , had her repaired and new coppered . In ncrirch of a freight , about a month ago , he left Dunkirk for Cardiff with a fresh crew , consisting ofa mate , four able seamen , tw _<* ordinary seamen , and a cabin boy . Op arriving at Cardiff he heard through a pilot of hia being HI-ei > - to find a freight at Newport , and he proceeded there and , got a full cargo of iron rods for Marseilles . At fuur o ' clock in thc morninc of Saturday last the _ship'lcft Newport—a .

      steamer having towed her about a \< ague to sea . She made little way all that day on account of there being little or no wind , but soon after sunsot thc wind sprang up , and by night freshened so , and at the same time was so thick with rain that they short _, encdsail ; throughout thc ni ght it blew very hard , and with torrents of rain ; they reefed a _seco : _** d time and all hands remained on deck , fhe night was so thick ; and as the wind was unfavourable the capUin determined to return to Cardiff . About S o ' clock in the morning they passed close'to a . beacon and very shortly after tho vessel struck a sand , they instantly let go their anchor with a chain cable , but it snapped ; the vessel continuing to proceed the captain would not let go another anchor , which they were preparing to do , thinking she _u-o «!< l clear the

      obstacle-, but soon after she struck again , and every now and then , as they were endeavouring to get into deep _waler . The vessel drifted all this time , the wind blowing dead ashore , but they could nut see tin ; land by reason of tho torrents of rain , so they let go two anchors , which held , but the vessel wa" in very shallow water , they hoisted n fla ? of distress half way up the penk ; this was about 10 o ' clock , and they remained at anchor until about 2 , the wind all the time blowing very hard with a deal of rain . On the tide rising , they , in order " to beat to sea , tried to weigh their anchors , but could not , so let them slip . and manoeuvred t <> try to cot the vessel to sea , but the wind blowing dead ashore , with much sea , they could not , and the vesfel drifting struck again , and j fearing the falling of thc masts and the sea sweep-1

      ing the deck , they all took to the cabin , but the sen rushing in there they ran npon deck again and found the two boats and _everything had been carried away , so they took refuge on the poop ; but thc waves pursuing them there _tlieyptarted again , and .-ill nine ran up the mainmast . There they rema ' ned two or three hours , shivering and shaking with cold , wet . and fatigue , and , continually looking wistfully around for help , could see nothing . At length it cleared a little , and , to their astonishment , they saw they were close to the land , and , perceiving a man on the cliff who kept throwing up his arms to catch their sight , they waved their arms to him and hallooed . To hear them was impossible , from thc howling of thc wind , roaring of the sea , and rumbling of ( he stones : but after a time the man ran away , as for

      h « lp . Full of hope , they encouraged each othor tho best way they could ; but it was dusk—night coming on nt n rapid pace , and the wind and sea increasing made the masts shiver most alarmingly , and the vessel going fast to pieces they all silently slipped off their shoes and upper garments against the coming _strttgele . The cabin boy whimpered , he cou _' . d not swim . They , told him they would all assist each other . Crash went the mast , and all were precipitated into the _boiling sea . "Not a shriek , " says the man who was saved , " escaped any one of us . What then took place _arounel mc I know not . I was al the bottom of the sea , but in a moment up _acain . and struck out for the shore . While swimming 1 saw , without his hat , a man near mo swimming most manfully ; he hallooed

      out to me 'Catch hold of a piece or wood . I knew him to bo my townsman , Jacqucs Frai . eois _Sttimulere _, of Dunkirk , from his speaking in Flemish . I snatched asmall piece of wood , which I held under my arm , and was buffeting the waves with my other , when I saw nnd caught a hencoop . A wave then threw me on thc shingles , another immed _' mtelv higher up , and a third _r'tjainst the cliff . I fell stunned . On recovering I looked around for my comrade , but saw him not . nor the captain nor any of the crew . As the wave ? stiil reached mo I held on fo the ciiff , but found they receded , and when I thought all danger from them passed I left where I was , being there exposed to another danger from the cliff eonstantlv falling

      from abovo through thc thaw and rain . I scrambled some little distance to westward on the _bc'icll . hopinf . ' to find a p lace in the cliff to climb up , but finding none , as it was dark , I returned to near where I had been ; but suddenly recollecting thnt the man on the cliff had run towards the cast , I dragged myself in that direction , but soon fell exhati ted on lie stones . After remaining in thnt state a length of tin * e I heard some voices , started up and hallooed—they answered me , and two _nieii and , 1 boy with a lantern came tome ; the boy gave me * piece of bread and cheese , which I instantly ale , for I had had nothing . ill day ; other p _<* oph- arrived , and took me to the village and house where , thank God , I now am . " The house is n _public-kotise , the Plough a ;; d Harrow , at Monk wash .

      The seaman ' s name who is saved , is Joan Sohie , of Dunkirk ; he is 23 and unmarried . The bodies of the eight others have all been __ found ; four were t _*> kcn to Monknnsh church . An inquest was held en them on Monday li \( -t . As tlte Frenchman could not speak English and as no one in the parish knew French , thi coror . or hearint ; I di < l s _^ nt f _.-r wi ? , ane . _roquoited I would be interpreter for them , to _wlrcli I _at-sentcd , and was sworn .

      APPALLING ACCIDENT . Ten T _' ki . _soss Dnowsm in an- _Omxibl' . ' _" . —A mrst melancholy occurrence touk place at Bideieitl last week , which , in coii'tqucii _' _-e of the number of iives thai were sacrificed , has ca « t a gloom over the whole ncigliluiii' hood and the adjacent villages . On Tuesday evenim . ' , 15 nwdcn _' s omnibus , whie _' i plies _between Bilk-ford and Torrington , and is designated the Safety , drew up _opposite the quay , and at 0 o ' clock start od for the latter town . ' 1 tic vehicle was full of passengers , 11 persons being _iivsitle , und one on the root ' . It had not gouo many yards before one ofthe * horses ! >¦ came restive , and alter making two or three _pluiurcs thc pole and splinter broke asunder from the carriage , which _inietantly went down thc declivity of the quay , and with thc whole of its passengers was

      precipitated over into the river . The night was dark , and there were upwards of 20 feet of water , the tide being up . There was a terrific shriek from the passengers , but it was only momentary , A woman , who was on the . _reo- ' , furtunatcly got ashore , and Mr . Michael Chappie , a elovemakcr , of Torrington , by a desperate iffort burst open thc door of the omnibus and swam a-diore , assisted by a soldier , who bravely jumped in to his rescue , lie was the oi _. ly one ofthe inside pa _* s « ngers who escaped , the remainder all perished . Grapplin :.- irons were immediately procured , and every effort made to save _t-omi' of them , but all jn vain ; it was nearly two hours before the omnibus was brought at > horc . When raised on to thc quay the sight was truly hor * rifying ; the sufferers were lying in a mass at the furthermost end from the entrance . It was evident they had struggled earnestly to _es-cape . Thc it-quest on tho bodies took place on Wtdnci-dny _, before Mr .

      Pridian , tlie borough cumncr . Their names were given out as follows : —Mrs . Fanny Friuuhhip , _tiged 10 ( left five children ); Ann Norman ( a widow _Jagi _-d 05 ; Mrs . Elizabeth F _r iendship , used 35 ( left * _-i . \ children ); M . - . ry Ann Friendship ( daughter of the last deceased ) , aged 11 ; Mrs . Ann Pago , aged 40 ; Mr . John Chappie , aged CO ( brother of the gentleman who escaped ) ; John Passmore , aged 30 ; Miss Elizabeth Griffey , aged GO ; and two other women _, names unknown . Tho burden of the _evidence went to prove that the melancholy affair _an-sc from accident alone , for although tlie _' drivcr was charged with being drunk , and incapable- of taking charg e of Lis horses , the whole proved unfounded . After a lengthened inquiry , which lasted several hours , tl . e jury returned the mi ! joined verdict : — " Accidental death ; and the jury strongly recommended an indictment being laid ngains : the authorities of the town lor allowing the qua * -side to 1 cumin in _ti . e dangerous state it was .

      George foreman was next called b y Mr . Clark ™ -He said I am a licensed victualler , _residing Lower East Smithfield 1 keep the _AlbTol 5 , £ house . On 1 _hursday , the 21 st of January the rrf soner came , in the evening to my house , between fi ™ and six 0 clock , and appeared surprised that the old landlord was gone . On the next day he asked mc to recommend him to a tailor ; and I sent him to mv neighbour , Cornelius lloare , and wc both went to the prisoner in his bedroom , where he appeared to l _> _o ill . On the dressing-table thero iras a parcel with rough stones in it , like gravel stones , lying open and loose in papers . He was measured for the clothe * and after that we entered into conversation to"etW and he said he had been out throe \ ears , and bad been trading two years of that time backwards and forwards for himself , and had brought _hoiro some precious stones , which he called diamonds . Ue pointed the m out , and said that * thev were o * but little value in the country in which he had cot thorn

      out tiiey were valuable here . Of their value he did not say anything ; but he gave me a parcel to sHl tor h . 111 and said he wanted mo for them . I _a-tod lloare whether he knew any _Jadv who would be _like _. y to become a purchaser , and he replied that he had a friend who might buy them , and he mentioned the name of Mr . Gideon . I went with lloare to Gideon , ami he sent for Mr . Benjamin . Benjamin came and said he would take the diamonds to the market . . We ther , went to the Royal Exchange , and Benjamin offered them to a person who refused to purchase them and told Benjamin to go to his office and speak to Ins clerk . Afterwards _f retuP | MM , te thecaptain . I had the diamonds at the time , and I told him that I had asked £ 350 for them , but the ..,. ..... in , uub ll . 'O would not

      gentleman give any such price for them , and he said to me , " Take the wiio _' c of them , and go and get me what you ean for them . " He then said , " There is a few for you , landlord , and there is a few for your tailor , for you have had a great deal of trouble about it ; " and he gave us some of the diamonds . Mr . Martin did not give me an account of the weight of the diamonds . __ I left them wholly and _s-tlely in Benjamin ' s po > session . Mr . Martin had L'ivcn us his cheque for thc sum , and we went to tho Commercial Bank of London , and got the cheque cashed . We received £ 200 in gold _atuonest the cash for the cheque . When we got the £ 1 , 750 we went home aud gave it to the captain , who paid me for tua accommodation he had had at my liouse a £ S 0 note , saying that that would settle the bill .

      Mr . Clarkson—Had you your diamonds in your coat pocket all tho time ? Witness—Yes . After I l « ft tlie captain in tho morning I gave my diamonds to lloare , and desired him to get what he could for them . Mr . Clarkson—And what did he bring to you ? Witness—He brought mc . £ 30 , and s . id _thet-i was £ 80 more _coming , lloare and 1 mie to have in all £ 2 S 0 for our diamonds . Mr _Clarkson— -It is fair _towards Mr . Benjamin ft ) say that he gave up the diamonds he purchased of Foreman and lloare to the solicitor--to the prosecutors _n'iit'n lie _learnee-i that they had been stolen . Cornelius lloare , the clothier and tailor mentioned in Foreman ' s evidtnee , said all that Foreman seiutd was correct ; he _cuild add no more .

      Mr . Clarkson—We understand that Foreman put into your hands the diamonds whieh thc prisoner _pavo to him , and that you disposed cf all the prisoner gave to both of you as presents ? Hoare—Yes ; and I took them to Mr . Gideon , and uhimately I sold them to Benjamin for £ 280 . I received £ 140 of it , and I gave Foreman £ 50 , and ho cave mc credit for £ 00 . I paid it into the Bunk of _En-Jand , and since that I _rifnndid all I received lo Benjamin , and he restored the diamonds to the solicitors for the prosecution .

      _bci-jamiii Benjamin said—I am re _general dealer , and reside in tlie Minories . I was introduced ta Foreman and lloare through the intermediatim of Mr . _Gide-jii , who is a particular friend of mine , and I introduced tkeni to _eVlr . Martin cnnci-rning tlie diamonds , and Mr . Martin bought them . I had previously offered them to a gentleman on 'Change . I received nothing more- than mv commission , £ 25 upon the sale for £ 1 . 750 from Mr * . Martin . I afterwards bought 399 enrats and a quarter from Iluaro and Foreman for £ 280 , wliich was at the same r . tfio that Mr . -Martin _pim-ha'cd the lot for .

      Mr . Clarkson—You afterwiudssold _yourpurclu'se ; what did you get for it ? Benjamin—I went out to seek . 1 customer , and I _stiCv-. eedcd in _vfiVctii-. g a contract fur - £ e * > 20 ; and the monic-nj I heard _he-w the diamonds had been get , I Mitc-cedcd in annulling the contract , and 1 gave up the diamonds iu the presence ol Mr .

" iliS Lordship immediately complied . Mr . Clarkaon—Thev seem to be- largo .

      Bcnj .-tmin—Diamonds ro'iy be large and not . 1 bit tho better fur that . I ought to mention , that tliero arc no more than two ir three _judges _iil '' rei _* t ; a diamonds in London , and it matt _i- * as liable to lose as to . - .-tin £ 1 , 000 , by pitrclia .-ing a lot of them . There is uothh-g more c ' _oubtlul . Mr . Martin weighed the lot he i > _unhn '* ed , aim I believe tiara were 2 500 carats , judging _frr-m a ahince I took at the scule , but 1 am nut po .-Ui . vc of that . Mr .
