A goods train having arrived at Tetbury , it was found on ascending a rather steep incline there that the train , which was a very heavy one , could not be propelled up the line for want of sufficient power in the engine . Accordingly a portion of the train ( eig ht or nine trucks , heavily laden ) was left on the main line in the care of a policeman , the "wheelsbaving been" scotched , " which it was calculated would retain the carrirges

      in their place until an engine could be sent to bring them on to the main portion of the train which proceeded on towards Stroud . However , the result proved otherwise , for the weight of the train overcame the scotches , and the train immediately began to descend the incline , and soon attained a speed of some twenty miles an hour . The passenger train soon hove in sight , and the collision was a frightful one ; the passengers were thrown together with great violence . Several of them received very severe bruises and lacerations , and it was said that one old man had his arm broken .

It prohibits the ladies of their coummunion from indulging in the profane amusements of waltzing and polkaing . Ludicrous as such an order may seem in England , it is a very serious affair here , and may open the eyes of the Roman

      Catholic laity to the tyrannical theocracy under which they live . The ladies of the upper classes of French Canadians have been hitherto accustomed to take their share in all the innocent diversions which form th& posse tempt of our winter evenings , and among which the waltz and polka are not tbe least considered and cherished .

      THE LOSS OF THE EMIGRANT SHIP MARION . The following ate details ' of the loss of the above named vessel : — 'Adelaide , August 4 . — The intelligence reacted taiaport on Thursday night last of the Jobs of the ahove vessel , on Trouhridge Shoal . The following particulars , obtained from Captain Kissock , may he relied on : —On the 24 th of March the Marion left Plymouth , in company -with the City of Manchester and tbe King "William , with 353 emigrants , and sighted Kangaroo Island last Monday about

      three a . m . At this time the vessel « -as leatingnp the gulf , and continued to do so Until Bhe Struck on the outer reef on Trouhridge Shoal , which took place about eight o ' clock p . m . on Tuesday . The lead was heve just before the vessel struck , but there was no sounding . She was iu fall sail at the time , and going at the rate of four knots per hour . Shortly after tbe vessel struck she rapidly filled , preYious to which the sails were backed to try and float her again , but it proved unsuccessful . At this time there was a strong tide setting in on the TrouMdge Shoal . Captain Kissock then ordered the boats to be

      lowered ( four in number ) , and all the females and children were pot into them and made towarda . Torke ' s Peninsula , where two of the Doat 3 were safely landed , and the other two at Cape Jervis . Some of the emigrants were landed on Tuesday night , others on WedneBday . and the remainder on Thursday morning . A fishing boat rendered-the sufferers some assistance , by taking away several boats' load from the illefated vessel on Wednesday . Captain KiBBOck having been informed that there was a small vessel at Yorke's Peninsula , the Maid of the Mill , he sent for her on . Wednesday morning , but the vessel was then on

      the beach high and dry . However , she arrived at the wreck on the same evening about five o ' clock , when the rest of the emigrants embarked in her with some boxes ; they then left the wreck about dark , aud arriTed at the port on Tuesday morning . At the time they left the vessel the water was within about eighteen inches from the main deck . There is not the slightest chance of her ever being floated off again ; she must inevitably become a perfect ¦ wreck . It is very probable that she has already gone to pieces , the weather on Friday ni g ht having been exceedingly rough . The loss of tbe vessel is attributable to the strong

      currents which set in on the shoal . The Marion is not a teak-built vessel , as has been stated , but was built at Quebec , and this is her firat voyage . All the emigrants have landed safely ; one infant , however , has since died . Great attentiom has been paid to them by the worthy captain and the emigration agent ' s clerk since they have been landed at the port . The rest are expected hourl y from Yorke ' s Peninsula and Cape Jervis . The loss of the poor emigrants will be severely felt , the little that they possessed being under water ; and it is to be hoped that a public subscription will be opened for their benefit .

      SLAUGHTER OP A EUROPEAN CREW BT MALAYS . The " Overland Free Press , " dated Singapore , November 4 , says" . — " Amofigst tbe news tbis month from Singapore is an account of an outbreak of the Malay sailors on board the British barque Fawn , while on her vojajre up the Straps from this to Calcutta , resulting in the muru'er of the -whole of the European officers and passengers , and the destruction of tUe ves 8 < l by fire . " The particulars , as far as they have at present transpired , are as follows : —The Fa-. ro , a near vessel , arrived from China at Singapore , and left the latter

      port in progress of her return voyage to Calcutta on September 93 . When at Singapore Captain Hoihjers , tbe master of the F ; nrn ~ discharged a portion of his Calcutta-shipped crew , and in " their 3 te . id took Malays , Javanese , and a . Cochin-Chine 3 e who had turned Mahommeiian . The captain was rather of an irascible temper , and a strict disciplinarian . On the sixth , day , : ifter leaving Singapore , about noon , tho burra-tindal ( head of a native cretf ) was observed sitting on the fore-hated smoking ; Upon which the chief officer spoke harshly , and asked him if he intended to set the ship on Sre . Words arose between them , and uliimately the chief mate gave a thrashing to the burra-tindal

      with a rope ' s end . The captria appears to have approved of the mate ' s conduct . M-tlaya are prorerbial for resenting any such indJjrnity , and , as in the present instance , take the earliest opportunity of revenge . The burra-tindal gained over some of the Malays , Javanese , and the Cochin-Chinaman , and resolved to be rerenged on all the Christians on board . It is usual when ship-- sail at ni ght through tho Straits of Malacca for the captain to remain On deck all night , dozing occasionally in a chair . ' At midnight the burra-iindal and his con * federates found the captain sleeping in a chair on lliepoop ; they despatched him with knives , and threw- his body overboard . The portion of the

      crew ( Beugales ) not in the plot at once fled to the ship ' s'tops , or other places in the ship . An Europeaa , who was proceeding in charge of a horse to Calcutta , also sleeping on deck , was likewise murdered , and his body cast into the sea . The chief and second mates retired to their cabins and armed themselves ; they offered a stont resistance until after mid-day . The infuriated Malays literally cut the second mate to pieces ; but , finding they could not get at the chief mate , they commenced with ayes tit cut through the poop-deck into his cabin . FindiDg they had effected an entrance , the mate rushed out of his cabin and jumped overboard . All this time the captain ' s wife and a Mrs .

      Beckham , \ yno , with her child , was voyaging for her health , were spectators of the frightful slaughter going on . Having got rid of all the male Europeans on board , the burra-tindal and another ringleader proceeded to Mrs . Kodgers' cabin , adding the crime of rape to their previous atrocities , and behaving in the most outrageous and revolting manner , totally unfit for publication . These tiro ladies , the child , and male and female servonts , were then placed in one of the quarter boats to be lowerea and sent adrift in tbe sea . On the order being given to lower the boat , tho fiend burra-tindal stood by and held ou the after fall , so that the ¦ s n-etcbed inmates were cast into the sea and

      perisbod , lave one man and a . woman , whose husband was one of the crew . The wretches then fired the vessel ,, crowded all sail , and gteered for the land . Oti rearing the shore , the ringleaders quitted the vessel , and landed at a place called Bruas , about forty-eight miles distant from Penang . The remaining portions of the crew , finding tae five gaining on the vessel , quitted in the captain's gig . They proceeded to Singapore ; when near it two of the men took advantage of the others being asleep , swam on shore , aad reported all that had occurred to the authorities . After some days several of the men were captured , others delivered themselves up , but six escaped . The Hon . Company ' s steamer

      Hooghly was despatched to Bruas to seo if tbe wftssel could be saved , and with letter * io the Itijab . of the country to deliver up the guilty parties . In the meantime some of the men ' proceeded in a native boat to Penang and surrendered themselves up to the police , but these are not believed to have taken any other part in the outrages than suca as they were in a measure compelled to do by threats . The ringleaders , after some excuses on the part of the Rajah , where secured and taken to Penang , where they will be tried on the 17 th of November by the recorder , Sir William Jeffcott .

      Xhe barque Rajah , of Liverpool , from Bombay , bouud to China , passed the Sawn , when she was on fire standing in for the land , but did not proceed to herjis 88 istance , or it is probable some of the unfortunate creatures canted out of the qnarter-boat ajj gatoaye been rescued irom a watery grave .
