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

      was not , as the last , unilateral , but gave power to both parties . . . - Mr . CnBisTorriER opposed the bill because it was still a one-sided measure , and was calculated to injure the rig hts of property . If this subject should be legislated for at all , it ought tobe taken up by t & e government . He moved that the bill be read a second time that day sis months . The amendment was seconded by Mr .

      Heath-Mr . S . AnAtR suggested' that the hill might be read _pro forma , and referred to a select committee . Sir G . Gret : said , there seemed to be a general opinion in favour of a compulsory enfranchisement , and being arrived at an agreement upon its principle Hie better course ' was to read the bill a second time { not pro forma ) , and refer it to a select committee . Mr . M _uxusgs opposed the bill , as well as _Sir G . Siricexaxd , who pronounced it a delusion . It was not for the enfranchisement of copyholds , for it retained the tenure , but simply to commute rents under that tenure to a rent-charge . After some remarks by Colonel SiBinoRr and Mr . _Hexxct , the second reading was affirmed on a division by 103 against 84 .

      Accidents os Railways Bni . -Mr . _Aewmgate 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 _assiswnce , withont incurring a liabditr to expraise unless the accident arose from the _negligence of therailway officers . If the party was unable to pay the expense the company might recover it from the parish . . Mr . _Eijus protested against theanustice of confining this obligation to railway _^ apanies , and moved to defer the second reading of the bill for Six months . Mr . _Abdkexet supported the bill , which cast no liability upon railway companies except in

      eases of then- own negligence . Colonel Sibihobp 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 . Mr . Labouchebk could not recommend the house to agree to the bill , which was extremely objectionable in principle . Its effects was to alter the general law of princip le and agent ; to compel railway companies in all cases to call in medical assistance , they being responsible in the first instance for tiie 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 jurfify the application to them ofa

      particular rule . Mr . Skxhckb 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 that there should be no delay in the first instance in sending for medical assistance . The Attorskt-Geheral said his objection was tbat the bill did alter the law , and in one case only , and nothing was so bad as exceptional legis lation . Mr . Ricardo 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 honse adjourned . THURSDAY , Johb 27 .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —Aboliiios of the _Lord-LaoTsrAKCY of Ibeusd . —The Marquis of Londo . v bebkt moved the resolutions of which he had given notice , condemnatory of the proposed abolition of the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland . The Marquis of _Lassdowhe 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 the Lord-Lieutenant . The Duke of _Welusgios solicited his noble friend to withdraw the resolutions , but hoped her Majesty ' s Ministers would consider well the consequences of the intended abolition . -

      After some farther discussion the resolutions were withdrawn , and the honse 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 him with propagandism , and with having undertaken the advocacy of J acobinical 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 poirers of the civilised world .

      SirH . _Vektet 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 oftheir own government . The precedent now set would be of extensive value in oar commercial relationship with other countries , as proving that tbe protection of the British crown was extended over all its loyal subjects . ;'' Sir R . Isgus acknowledged that he might have

      approved of the particular line taken by the government with respect to Greece , but refused to affirm the whole course of their foreign policy , and reprobated the unconstitutional maxim which he said had been enunciated hy Lord J . Russell , in repudiating not merely submission bnt 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 _Gbasbt noticed one or two lactmcein tbe 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 , forthe sake of promulgating certain political dogmas , encountered the risk of rebuff , and sacrificed the dignity of the nation . Sir W . _MoLESffoarn 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 theBritish government at home responsible for the depredations committed by a _London-pickpocket upon the 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 . _membfir for Sheffield . Mr . Shafzo Adair 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 . . _Eerdebt , after ironically disposing of the more far-fetched arguments of the last speaker , aad adverting to the evidence of personal feeling

      manifested by Lord Palmerston against _Narvaez _, whom in , one of bis 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 the various countries to which his interference had extended , and remarked upon the failure of nearly all his attempts . at the establishment of what he termed constitutionalism . He could not see how credit _Bhould be taken for such a series of defeats . He contrasted the improving condition of Prussia ahd 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 tie

      house to . mark its disapprobation of a policy which had tended to lower the character bf this country in theeyes of foreigners . - ' . '"' SirG . Grey complained ofthe accusations levelled by Mr . Herbert against his noble ' coUeague . The principles of the question had been , he thought , accurately stated by Mr . Roebuck ; and with respect to the first'class of ca $ ei , the point at issue was whether the government should actio accordance with the resolution of the Lords , ' or , as they ; had hitherto deemed it to be their duty , to afford protection iu the widest sense of the term to British subjects in another country , who were unable by the ordinary process of the law , or through other causesto obtain justice . With respect to the other

      , class of cases , no one had stated what was the antagonistic principle upon which the government were required to act . No course of propagandism had been adopted by our Foreign Minister ; distinct disavowals had been repeatedly given of any desire to interfere with the political views and opinions of other _countries . 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 been maintained , and the principles of constitutional government were making progress , ih spite of despotism on the one hand and anarchy and disorder on

      the other . Friendly relations with other countries might be purchased 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 hi gh position it hid hitherto occupied amqngst . the nations of the world . - ' - ' Jbr _^ _Sns _TOsa began by replying , at much iehstK _tb-the aridress of Lord John Russell on thit "¦• ' _^ _yiM ' _^^ _i _^ S _^ ng asuuat _hia doctrineas to the " _minulei _^ : _^ p _>^» buitie " towards the House of _^" _'Yirak _^^ d _^ ho _TOg that the precedents he had _*^ 1 ia _« Jb 1 _«^ S _^ _iioi- _-i » c t !» Jpoiiit .

      and widened the case for the purpose , he suggested , of catching votes , which might have been refused upon the special point of tho Greek policy . Tha policy he divided into three categories—as d _^ rected 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 eulogium upon the impartiality and veracity of Baron Grosreceived by the house with an expression of very _conflicting ODinions—the _riffht honourable member

      restated the detaUs of the Sumachi , Finlay , and Pacifico claims . With regard to the first , he remarked that the Foreign Secretary had begun with violence , had 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 fer an account which the tribunals were competent to settle ; thereby controvertingthe principle laid down by Lord Palmerston ' s own supporters . M . Pacifico ' s claim was in like manner unjustifiably taken up by English ministers hefore 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 Lad 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 tbat the Foreign Secretary had provoked and sustained a variety of disgraces and indignities , for which the country was inadequately compensated by tbe magnificent harangue in which he had attempted to justify Mb 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 dul y protect her natives which stood in isolation , and did not acknowledge those claims of justice and equality that bound together the greit comity of nations . From the House of Lords an appeal lay tothe 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 . Hekrt _Dkcumond 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 . Cockbubn the debate was again adjourned . After some further business the house adjourned at two o ' clock . FRIDAY , Juke 28 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . — The debate on the Foreign Policy was resumed by " Mr . Cocsdvrs , who in an eloquent speech , supported the government . Mr . Walpole opposed , and Mr . Milnes supported the motion .

      Mr . Cobden was anxious to consider this question on its legitimate issue , not for the purpose of indulging in any personal opposition , and seeing nothing in the question which involved any plot or conspiracy or cabal .. He desired to . be exonerated from the charge preferred against those who would not support the motion , that they were advocates of despotism . He , at least , was no ally of Russia . He then entered fully into the Greek question , and concluded hy saying , they were further asked to identify themselves with the whole foreign policy ofthe government . He should be the most inconsistent man upon earth if he did so , after condemning so many oftheir acts of interference with the affairs of other countries , done in direct

      contravention ofthe exposition of Whig principles promulgated by Lord Grey . The question did not depend upon liberalism or absolutism ; it depended more upon peace , commerce , and education . . Sir R . Peel began by vindicating the motives which influenced his vote , declaring that the suggestion of Mr . Cockburn , that there had been a disgraceful conspiracy , or a base compromise , in opposition to the ministers , on his side ofthe house , was wholly unfounded . He had given his conscientious support to . them , because he had cordially approved their policy in domestic affairs—commercial , monetary , and in relation to Ireland . There were occasions in which he had . supported their foreign policy , wbich he did not now come forward to

      condemn ; but he was asked to give his approval ofthe whole , and to affirm principles tenfold more important than the saving of a government . Sir Robert then discussed the foreign policy of the government , and asked , was it not , then , a wiser policy to hold the doctrine recognised hy Mr . Fox , Mr . Pitt , and Mr . Canning , that the true policy of this country was non-interference ? He believed that the cause of constitutional liberty wonld only be encumbered by our help , whilst by obtruding it we should Involve this country in incalculable difficulties . For these reasons he should dissent from the motion . Lord J . Russell justified the course which government had taken upon this question , and charged the tactics oftheir opponents with

      unfairnesB , and accused Lord Aberdeen of having uttered most unfounded imputations , and made most unjust attacks upon the present Ministers . He then discussed the considerations which had regulated the policy of the government in regard to the continental states , calling upon the house to judge them by the principles they professed , and hy the results which had been obtained under circumstances of extraordinary dtfficulty . He acknowledged it was a just rule of policy not to interfere in the domestic affairs of other nations . ; but that rule had not been very strictly observed even by Lord-Aberdeen in his intercourse with Greece , and it must be relaxed in cases of exigency , for an unbending rule would be the cause of war . After an allusion to a

      rumoured fusion of parties on the benches opposite to him , and . attributing the unfounded suspicions cast upon the policy of the government to foreign agency , he declared that by the verdict of that house , and of the people of England , he was prepared to . abide , fully convinced that the government bad preserved at the same time the honour of this country and the blessings of peace . Mr . D 18 BAKLI justified by precedent bis own course of conduct on this question , and vindicated Lord Aberdeen . Taking tha resolution as that of the government , he observed , if it was meant to lay down the rule that , in countries like Greece , every

      person calling himself a British subject might look for redress to a British admiral , in what a position would it place this country as well as Greece 2 The House of Lords had exercised a solemn duty , and pronounced a censure upon the policy which had led to such terrible results . This house was now asked to reverse that sentence ; but he was persuaded that whatever might be its vote , it would terminate that system , and announce to Europe , and to another hemisphere , that the Parliament of England had resolved that our policy should be conducted with due regard for the _rights of other nations .

      After a brief reply from Mr . Roebuck ; the house divided , wben the numbers were—Ayes ... ... ... . ... 310 XlOeS _... - ... ... '•*« _^ U 3 Majority for Government 46 The house adjourned at i o ' clock until Monday .

      Whig Tbicxs . —Reception or rra Ministers at tue House of Commons . — During the whole of Thursday the principal streets of the metropolis were paraded by men bearing placards , calling upon the citizens of London to-meet Lord Palmerston at the House of Commons that evening . Accordingly , at half-past three in the afternoon , a large number of individuals were collected in the Palace-yard and round the doors" of the House , of Commons , lining both sides of the way from Poet ' s-corher to Great George-street . Lord John Russell was the first who arrived ; and was received with loud and unanimous cheering . Lord Palmerston arrived at five o clock in a close brougham , and owing to this he passed through a great partof the crowd

      without being recognised . On stepping out , however , he wasrecognisedand saluted with loud cheering from ' ail sides , as well as , from numerous members of Parliament who were congregated about tho doers ofthe house . [ Two years ago it was unlawful for the people to assemble within a mile ofthe House of Commons to discuss the necessity of , or petition for , a further extension of reform , and an obsolete act was produced to prove the illegality . The Whigs are now in danger , and the people are invited by men bearing large bills , to rush to the doors of the house , and keep the Ministerial Lords from the , bleak side of the Treasury .

      _NONDELIVERY OP _NEWSPAPERS ON te SUNPAY . i A meeting of newspaper proprietors and . their representatives was held at Peele ' s Coffee-house , on Tuesday j for the purpose of taking measures to prevent the stoppage of the delivery of newspapers , through the instrumentality of tho post-office on Sunday . ,. . _ . . , _. - Mr . Ingram having taken the chair , , Mr . Serle read a petition to the House of Commons , which had been preparedby the committee _appointed at the meeting held on Thursday . last , _Hedidjwt think the press , as a body , were yet awake tothe insult offered themby 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 tho injury to endeavour to . remedy it at once or the opportunity * might bo lost . He . concluded by ; moving the first resolution : — " That the petition just read be 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 seme other influential member . " Mr . Chapman seconded the resolution . . , Mr . Thomas observed , that though the . inconvenience ofthe measure was as yet ' hardly felt , he was aware of a case where losses to some extent had

      already been suffered . The . resolution was _carriedunanimously . Mr . Wood moved , and Mr . Thomas 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 of rescinding the recent post-office regulation , and that the committee be empowered to avail themselves of the services in tbis respect' of such members of parliament as . shall be favourable to the abrogation of the said order . " Mr . Lkdqer 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 tbe intended meeting should be in reality a public one , and not composed solely of parties connected with the trade . . „ ,.. ; , Mr . Seble 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 hot suffer much inconvenience from the measure , and there : fore few might be willing to exert themselves to set 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 HiR ' a alteration in the , Sunday service at the Post-office—motives which were , by no means creditable to themselves—would lead them to oppose the rescinding of the . late obnoxious regulation . He suggested tbat 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 beeninjuredbythis measure . This and the foregoing , resolution having ' 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 . Tbe petition of _, the undersigned proprietors and editors of London newspapers , aud contributors thereto , aud other persons employed thereon , ' . ' ¦ ¦ .. ' : ¦ . Humbly sheweth , — " That on an address _^ supported by ninety-five members of your honourable house , and which , by the rules of that house , could not he 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 _haa 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 thereat sense of your honourable house , has abandoned its duty and despotically trifled with the property and interests of your petitioners . "That the annual amount of Sunday labour whioh will be occasioned by the efforts of the newspaperproprietors to protect their property will be threefold that saved by the hew 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 is supposed to take the part of a freeman in public affairs , and where this day is the only one that affords to many ofthe industrious classes the opportunity , by the perusal ofthe public prints , to inform themselves of their duty as citizens . "That the business tb be transacted hy 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 dayin the week io the entire people , feel that this can , only , be done by a moderate sacrifice of the convenience , for some hours , of tlie 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 .

He then put them down over the side to those in the boat , and they towed off ., During the time the captain was on the bridge , betwixt _^ 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 mindsof the people _. at re _^ t ? , call out that ' though the ship be aground sho 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 rocks nnd the . lig hthouse quite , close at hand . -There was then no ' fog , Almost immediately after , he was undeceived inthe 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 tp , be at the rate of , ft 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 preoipitateo into the water . Finding himself ; immersed he forthwith struck out , astern : and . swam-, ashore , _uasaine the boat , which bad been pushed off

      previously , andreaohing the land before any one else , and before any boats had been putofffrom thequay . During the brief but fearful and _erentful 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 _oaseof a child who came up to _Glasgowih its mother ' s arms by : the Tartar , f who , was foundby a , passing swimmer floating on theywater , just as a boat loaded to the gunwale with the saved was crossing his track . He seized - vine " infant , ; and jerked it among , the people , on _jhbard . The , child was consequentl y _saved ,. a 6 we , sincerely , trust was also the gallant swimmer .. There was another still more astonishing feat of heroio 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 , supporting himself on a board , which he held under his ohin . Some less scrupulous swimmer came across him and drew away theplank which . enabled him to support his head , andfhe was forced ' to let go hold of his _: unfortunato' 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 ofa small piece of floating wood , when a young lady was passing , he j extended his hand to her „ and saying , " This may savo . us both , " was

      enabled , to keep himself and her , up till they , were picked up . bya passing boat . , . Z _..-, ' .. ¦ On Saturday last the body of Mty Mf Murrich was picked up by means of fish-hooks . .. _JSe had a gold watchandsome sovereigns in ; a .

The _impossibilityfof 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 relianoe cannot be placed oh any : estimate . ofthe number lost . Who ean say how many may have been in the vessel in the same circumstances , a 8 Mr . M'Murrich ? No computation can be positively verified till the inquiries of friends

      determine the number of passengers , while atthe same timo 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 he lost his 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 ; V . 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 ah _excellentswimmer , wob among . the first to reach the shore , and left it inthe 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 , f . Captain Denham , ; R . N ., arrived ai Port Patrick on Sunday night , from London , and is now pursuing his inquiries respecting the loss of this vessel . A female and child were got put 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 _therei Oii lionday three bodies were got out by . , tho . 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 ' ( Gollinsay ) whose body has not yet heen found ; had his life insured for £ 20 , 000 . On Sunday evening instructions werereceived from the Lord Advocate to apprehend Mr . Henderson , the commander ofthe Orion . The warrants were put into the _handsof the police here . We understand that . he will be admitted to bail .

      My Dear S.;—I Wrote Io Apologise To You ...

      My dear S . ;—I wrote io apologise to you for not delivering your long letter to , C , . but I trust y . _^ u will excuse me ; as I had no time , to save anything but my life inthe dreadful occurrence which I am about to relate . : _> Mr . P . and I ffet sail from ; Liverpool on the 17 th , at half-past three in the afternoon , and there were about 200 passengers onboard . We had a beautiful smooth passage , all the ladies remaining on deok till late . At half-past eleven , _aswe passed thelsle of Man , wo both went down to bed . At about halfpast one in the morning I was woke b y hearing the othergentlemen getting up and talking , and from them I heard that we had run a ground , . _Iwolie

      Mr . P _; , and he dressed quickly and ran upstairs ... I in- the meantime _dressed > very quietly , thinking there was no . danger , as the sea was so oalm and the shore near , and had just got my trousers , boots and shirt on , when down oame 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 torren t . We both rushed on deck , accompanied by several ladies in their nightolothes , screariiihg pitedusl ' y . When we got on deck I saw that the stern was high above the water , and the bow perfectly immersed . : _\ Ye were only . about-800 . yards from the shore when we _struok . The land ; was quite visible ,, and the light of Pertpatrick . We both went to ¦ the stern ,, and Mr . „( P ; . left ; me there and went _amidshins . and I clun g to the binnacle . The screams

      ofthe poor ladies , the prayers of the men , such as 'f Lord help us !' , ''' God save us 1 ''and the roaring the steam . were , frig _htfuU . Presently the vesselheeled right over , . till _, the deck was almost perpendicular . Then came tho most frightful part of the Bcehe ; tho poor . women slid down-under ! the lee-bulwarks and " . , were swept out ' , by the next wave—their screams wero heart-rending ; just then the passengers launched ,. the ; - . life-boat , hut itiwas swamped . _insten , lianeously , ; and all . drowned except two ; the . seainen . were , too much terrified to uo anything , _butso _^ jumped overboard and others ran up ' the shrouds . ; I , an . the . meantime , was cling-Jng to the binnacle , ( _a-part just before , the wheel , wpre , the compass , is kept ) , and , f when . ' she went bhtherbeam , ends ; _-, L _^ immediately divested myself . of ¦ . my ' - _trousers and boots , and flung them . overboard ,, . kn ( qwjng f , that , I could hot , swim with ' them on . Having done that I waited ' patiehtTy'for _. the result , crying to God for hel p , as also most of

      My Dear S.;—I Wrote Io Apologise To You ...

      the passengers , when T saw the steam coming- up the companion and heard it- 'making af-horribie hissing , bubbling ; noise . ' Then I thought that vail was loBt , arid that we should have a precious blow up , so committing myself into the hands of Odd 1 _bfuhged overboard . There were about six other men'Who jumped in with me , and they ; 8 truck out so hard that they got me under water _-ifor about a minute ; however , I-soon got up and swam boldly for my life . When I had swamabout forty yards T came to a chest , on which a man was supporting . _himself . f I made for it , and reached 'it , biit the seaman was in suoh an agony of _terr rbr 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 , arid 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 hose , arid thoug ht 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 Igot free of the man arid 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 j with these I kept up a long while ; but looking _rouridlsaw'the large chest with the man , who had stopped pulling it over ; 1 swam to it

      therefore , and told him nor , to pun it , as our _saiety depended on it ; he remained quiet , but by way of precautiori 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 but 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 : W God ! " "Oh . fsave us ! " "Oh , we are drowning _^ " and all that / kind' of thing . "Presently , they heard fus arid approached , and you canriottell the feelings which' arose in my breast . Then the man in the bow laid hold of me to pull me in . Ibeirig too weak to scramble in . As soon as

      he had laid me down ori the forecastle I fell right over into the body of the boat , but then I was so cold I began to jump and cut away into the stern sheets / and [ sat down shivering like half a dozen drowned rats ; - The other two meri were pulled in more dead than alive ; they lay in the bottom of the boat quite exhausted . We went on and picked up a poor ' woman off a- piece of the wreok . where She had been floating ; Then we went ito the wreck , which had gone down I suppose when I was under the chest ; the , water _; then being low tide , was riot up to her crpsstrees ; and there were a great riiany clinging to the shrouds , Ac . We took a woman and her baby and about eight rrieri off the wreck , and then made fbr land , lall

      the tune was jumping to keep myselfwarm , having nothing ori' but my shirt . When we got into the harbour I ran up the landing stairs . At the top there was ah old woman with a shawl in her hand , which she cast about me , and took me to her roaster ' s house , whose nariie was Captain Hawes , R . N . They gave roe some warm brandy and water , and put me into a warm bed , where I soon fell asleep . While lam having a comfortable nap at Captain _Hawes ' house I will tell you what pefel Mr . P . After he left me he went to the companion , and , when the Orion heeled over he cut up the shrouds , where ho 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 oolook 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 rne in the village—trousera : 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 borinet ; so with ; these elegant vestments you may imagine what a figure I was . I went on board the Fenella , arid 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 a captain charged us nothing , and at Troon we got into the train to P— —i telling the newB as we went ; at P— - we got a train tb'Q- —¦ , 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 ¦ bo 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 , hut when she went into the dining room she told them , laughing , that I looked like a

      shipwrecked mariner ; . Papa Boon 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 ; bis two sons were saved . My name was in the . paper as "Mr . D . and tutor , " so you wiU 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 . further particulars , so believe me your affectionate cousin , D . June 15 .

      A View of Sharp ' s Allkt . —It is a large knaoker ' _s yard , furnished with all the usual apparatus for slaughtering diseased or worn-out horses , and plentifully bestrewnwith the reeking members and frightful refuse of the morning ' s work . But even before the eye—usually the first and quickest organ in action—has time to glance round , the sense of smell is not only assailed , but taken by storm , with a most horrible , warm moist effluvium , so offensive , and atthe same time so peculiar and po ; tent , that it requires no smal l resolution > n any one , not accustomed to it , to remain a minute within its preoincts . Three of the corners are completely filled up with aheap of dead horses lying upon their backs , with their _hoofaatiokingbolt upright ; while

      two other angles in the yard are filled with a mass of bodies and fragments , whose _projecting _leg _^ s and _othermembers serve as stretchers tor raw _skins , rflayed from their companioriB , or from themselves , lying all discoloured , yet in all colours , beneath . By this means the skins are stretched but 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 fuce _, and almost reaching . with its lank end to the dark ihuddled gore in which his fore hoofs are planted . A strange , ghastly , rattling sound , apparently frqin the ( adjoinmg premises , is kept up without intermission ; a sort of inconceivable rapid

Two dead horses are being skinned ; but all the other animals—of the four-footed class we mean—are _hullooks , in different stages of disease , and _. they are seven in number .

They wero all distinguished . by slang terms according to the nature and stages of their diseases . The two best of th ese bad bullocks ave designated as " choppers ; " the three next , whose hides are . torn in several places , are called " _rough-uns ; " while those who are in a
