      INDIA AND CHINA . EXPRESS FROM MARSELLJLE 5 . ( Frrm the London Times . ) Our ordinary monthly express from ifesfclHes , in « nticipation of the Indian mail , has snared , and we have Teceived the Indian journals and letters to the 2 dof Januarv . The intelligence -which they bring , though bos of the exciting interest © f-eome mails of last fear , is satisfactory , as preving flral ifcepeara and tranqnility so much desired -in our Eastern possessions nave been thoroughly esiafclshwl .

      The different corps of the vims under the command of General Pollock bad cressed the Suaecge , and after their fatigues and these sufferings , their campaigns and their battles , the soldiers -were about to enjoy ' ^ : uinmphs and th eir rewards . The Soth- ?^ ^ caeral , -with the -Comm&nQer-in-Ghief , and ^ ; ---raon of ttio STHiy of-Ts ^ rve , was present at rerci ^ Jre on their arriv al i * ihe Britis h territory , to welcome them . Tae bexta promised , a ^ -d the medals , -were about to be < iisa-ibnred with a liberal hand , and general rgaicmg appeared to be the order of the day . _ ~ ,.

      Among the events -which engrossed the attention of the Indian Journals during the month of December , the proclamation by Lord Ellenborough , addressed ** to all the princes , and chiefs , and people of India , " and already eo notorious here , had given lise to the most extraordinary comments . It appears io have mei with iio favour in any quarter . Oa a future day we shall . tndeavour to fino room for fume extracts on this subject , which will be interesting as an evidence of the feeling such a document would create among the population for whose perusal it was especially intended . The navigation of the Indns and its tributiry livers had attracted much of the attention of the txOTernment .

      A demand had been made upon the Ameers of Seinde for their assent to a treaty , by which Knrrachee and Tatca , and a strip of land extending along thp bank ? of the Indus , with the towns and forts of Sukkur . Bakknr , and Jtoree , and as far ss their terjitory-reacbed ,: fei 3 € Hiid be made over to the Company . lEhe Ameers appeared at first eager to make a dei-r-Xnined resistance , but the presence of the British army under the command of Sir Charles Kapier had diminished that e 3 £ en > e ? s . Major Ontraia . who was removed in November from the political agencj a ; Hyderabad , had early in December received orders from the Governor-General to resume those functions , as hi ? knowkJge of the inhabitants-and their nri ^ rs i 3 likely to prove advantageous . He startt-d from Bombay on board a steamer on the I 6 ; h of December , is proceed to join Sir Char . es Napier , and to conclude the arrangements which 11 was expected would be speedily effected : o tee sati ^ fscu-ja of tLe parties .

      There were diHcrem report- in ciTcnlition re > pecting the disturbed state of Cabui , where . the young son of Schah Sonjah , Schah Vootz , s ; i ! l maintained himself , as did Ins brother , Snftt r Jims :, at Candahar The adherents' of Akhbar Khan asserted that he would soon be at the head of a large force , and ¦ would take ths toTeramens from the feeble Sovereign of Cabal Don Mahommed had an intern .- w ¦ with Lord Jillonboroughai Loodianah in the beginning of December , and was to proceed with an escort to feshawcr , where he was to reside for some time , nnder the protection of ib . 3 Sikh Government . Tae intention of the Governor-General to observe neutrality oa the Fnrjest of tbe Cabal Government was avowed explicitly .

      The victories in Afghanistan and China had produced the effeci of quieting even the most disturbed parts of the Bondlekund district . It was asserted that some _ doenmeats had been discovered which tended to implkaie the deposed Sovereign of Hindostan , or as he is called , the descendant of the Great Mogul , in those disturbances . The vigilance of the Governor has , however , neutralized all att-empts on Ms part , and oa that of his abettors , to create eonfosion in India . The rumour of Tharawaddie ' s death has been contradicted . He appears now to be tb . orongh . iy convinced of the icuiility , on his part , of trying any Rrnggls with the British power in the Eaia . The Hiaiostan st- ^ amti arrived at . Madras on ihe 19 ux of December , and started on thefuliosvingday for Calcutta .

      CHINA . The news frsm Ch na cones down to the 19 h of 2 vovember from Macao ; to the lorn from lic-ng Kong ; and to the cad ef Ostcb r frcm Chusan . Ths last division of the fbei , having left the Yang-Tza-Kiaug river , had , on the" 17 th of Osior ^ r , reached Chusan , where a portion of the troops was to be staaojjed for a rime , O . her portions were sra-GOBec Et Amoy and Hovs Kou £ . This latter colony is governed by Lord Sakeoa . It was ihrl-ring , anil a proposal had been made frr erecting a Theatre there . Captain BaiiGur , cf the Madras Artillery , ¦ who had * aine-d a considerable kn&wledge of the

      Chinese language and character , was named British" } Consul-Gssaral , to reside at Shanghae . There were "various decrees published by the Emperor , in which the national disl . ke of the Tartars to all foreigners "was in some iseascre caacsaled , and a , wish to maintain the ** everlasting peace" exhibited . English merchants and their "families" are to be permitted , according to those decrees , to rdfeide at Canton , at Powchowfoo , at Amoy , Jfingpoo , and Shacghae ; and their ships are to have places for repairs , Hong-Kong is ceded in perpetuity as a cole- ,- y io Great Britain , and the Hong , " or monopoly merchants , are to be abolished .

      Sir Henry Pottinger Tvas expected to arrive at Hong Kong towards the end <> f Rorcmber or beginning of December , in erder to carry on : hs negotiations respecting the commercial tariff . The Ceminander-in-Chief , Six Hugh Gough , intended , it was stated , to ssH for Calcutta ia the begianjug of Jteeember . Several of the regiments appear to have ? uffrred severely from sickness . The Chinese were repairing all their forticatiDss . The following extract from a private circular announces the late reductions effected in the duties at Canton , and the opening of the tea trade : —

      n Macs . © , Nov . 14 , 1842 . ** We avail of the earliest opportunity to advise you that the Hoag merchants have made the following reductions in die duties exaeted at Canton during the war on the undermentioned aricles , viz . : — *• 2 Taek per pecul en tea . *" ¦ 5 Dollars do . on Nankin silk .

      ** 25 Cents per piece on cotton eloih , second sort . " 10 Ditto do . oa do ., coarse . 41 50 Ditto do . oh woollen . * 25 Ditto do . on long ells . ** Tnis has led to the opening of the tea market m 33 taels for the Congous , which are nearly ali bou ^ h : up . As stated in enr circulars of the oih instant , the season ' s snppiy of tea is not likely to exceed an average oi . e , and the ainonnt of property at Canton , for which returns must be made chiefly in teas , being Tery considerable , we think prices more likely to ad-Tanee than to falL

      " It is hoped that tbe opening of the te 3 trade , and th 8 reduction of daties on other sjticles , will cause an improved demand for imports generally . ** Transports and vessels of war -are arriving daily from the North , Her Maje&ty ' s Plenipotentiary ia expected to arrive at Hong Kong early is . December , bnt several months mast elapse before any Bew regulations re ^ ardiag trade can come in . o operation . ** The Moulmein was lost in October in tbe Palawan passage . " MONEY MARKET .

Testimony in support I of the cemplaint was given , but the defendant , plumply denied everyihing laid to his charge , aad j said the witnesses would swear anything . Mr . i Read , however , told the Bench that he had frei qnently had occasion to warn the defendant , whose ' . noose was well known to be conducted in a very ¦ disorderly manner . The Magistrates fined him £ 4 and costs .

      Pick-Pockets—On Wednesday last , three lads named John Al'Donald , Charles Kilroy , and Wm . Mitchell , were sent to Wakefield for two months , for attempting to pick pockets in George-street Chapel , on Monday evening . They are all wellknown thieves . Boxseck .. —Dnring the night of Monday last , the shop of Mr . Wm . Brown , blackfinith , at Holbecklane-End , was broken into , and a pair of large scales and beam , a new iron backhand , four new shovels , and a £ &rdai rake , were stolen . — Un the same night a shop adjoining , and which is sxl&o the property of Brcwn , but is occupied by Thomas Yickers , was likewise broken rmo , and two rush-bottomed chairs , two iron weights , and a small basket , were stolen . A young man is strongly suspected , but no trace has been discovered of the stolen propertv .

      Attempt to Pick Pockets—On Tuesday last , Wilham Majfieid , a young lad , who spends a great deal of time in pnson , was sect to Wakefitld House of Correction for a month , haviny been seen att&mptiDg to pjck a gentleman's pockei at tha Circus , a few iVi-aiig ^ previous .

Abraham Craven , in East-Grove- >? rcet , Burmau ^ ofts , was entered by thieves , by mea ^ s of skeleton k-rvs , just af-er Mr . and Mrs . Craven had gone to church . A neighbour , however , Mr . Weare , dyer , happening to go into his back

      yard , saw two su > picious it-en enter Craven ' s house , and , from the circumstance of two or three similar robbWies having taken place in the neighbourhood , he determined upon seeing ihat all was right . Having a =-or .-tamed from a female that Mr . and Mrs . Craven had gone out , he went 10 the door , which he found fa ? t , snd i : quired if they were in . to which he received an amrmative rtfly . lie said he thought they ¦ were not , and two men then T 3 . u down stairs , and before he couid prevent them foiced their way into the street . Mr .

      couple of silver watches , a gold ring , and a small key , which he had taken from Mr . Craven ' s house . Brides the lwo men ihat were in the bonse , a inird was outside watching at the corner of the street , in order to give timely notice to hi 3 companions if they were likely to be disturbed , but he did not see Idr . Weare , until after his couipaiiion had been 'aken , when he made an attempt at rescue , which fortunately was unsuccessful . Mr . Weare received several severe blow . ? , and great praise is due to- him for his intrepid conduct . The man then taken gave his name Jo ; -eph he is

      ropp ^ ewell ; well known to the police , and they soon after apprehended two others , one of whom , Samuel Jordan , is identified by Mr . Weare as the man who rnshed past him and escaped at the time he seized Poppleweli .

      The inferior portion of the stomach had bean removed in the aecttoB of the trunk . The remaining portion , nimely its cordial extremity , appeared healthy . The intestines were so extensively injured by cutting and burning that it was impossible to trace their course , or to decide upon their condition . No part of the body appeared to have undergone the process of anatomical dissection . From , this examination , which we have made , we are of opinion , lBt—That the deceased was a female , of mature age , moat probably from twenty to thirty years , and of abort or middle stature .

      2 ndly . —That although the mutilated portion of the trunk does net afford sufficient evidence to enable us t'j speak with absolute certainty as to the cause of death ; we consider that the empty condition of the heart and large blood vesselB , the complete absence of any traces of coasula in them , and the bloodless condition of the viscera , are strong grounds for coming to the conclusion that death had resulted from hemorrhage , and We cannot reasonably account for death in any other ¦ way . " 3 rdly . —That the fractures of the ribs were perpetrated Eubs < . quently to death . 4 thl y *—That the burning was eff cted subsequently to tha removal of the head and lower extremities , and the breaking ' of the ribs . 5 thly . —That the upper extremities were separated subsequently to tbe burning ,

      6 thly . —From the soft , pale , unctuous , but not putrid condition of the muscles , we suppose that the body has been submerged in water a few weeks , not less than two or three weeks , possibly double that period . In addition to the above statement , the Coroner submitted the following questions , which we give , with the answers of tbe medical gentlemen : — To have produced hemorrhage to the extent supposed ia this case , what probable means have been resorted to , and what probable portion of the body perforated or cut ? The division of any large blood vessel mi ^ ht have produced the hsuiorrh& ; p . It did not proceed from a wound of thu htart nor of the larger vessels within the chest . Tbe large vessels in the neck are the most probable source of the hemorrhage .

      la it likely that the party had committed suicide , as ¦ was snggeited by Daniel Good , in the late murder ntar London ? ... No . f * - I » not the emply state of the vessels the strongest evidence possible thai death bas resulted from hemorrhage , ansii-g from violence of tome suit?—See tbe c-. se of Roaus in BctL's Medical JuuruaL—page 546 9 . ¦ - # - If blood be dropped into water I presume it will dissolve ; but if blood had b < . en in the veins anil arteries in this subject before immtKun , is it probablo that the blood which -. r . ust LiVe been coagulated , wuuld have entirely dhsv ' red . r-s is the case L < tu ? It is not prutxible that Lionet which bad been coagulated in the heart and large vessels should become entirely dissolved and removed as iu tais case .

      Has the division of the body from the head been done by one clear cul , or by tw < - or three attempts ? The division has bten effect d by a sharp cutting instrument—tut it is impossible to&ay whether at one or more attempts . Tho line of incision appeared tolerably uniform . Can you ko fp .-m the breasts whether this woman had borco chi . 'drc-n ? It is impossible to give an opinion on this subject , as the skin ef the brea&ia was destroyed . The statement afterwards received the si fi mtures of both the medical gentlemen , and the following additional evidence was thtn adduced : —

      JonaomnD . aii—lama digger , ani reside in a cottage near where ttw body was found . I em in the employ of Messrs . Teuton and Co . 1 was told by a boy , yesterday week , that something had been founrt , and I went to the place . I then saw whet I considered to be the trunk of a human body . 1 said I thought it should not lay then ; , and that the best thing would bo to bury it . I wcui for a spade for that purpose , but on further consideration , 1 told the men who were present tkat they had better tell a policeman as soon as they could . It was not in consequence of what any body said , that 1 determined to have nothing to do with it- I did not then think ttuU it wa 3 a bo- ' . y that had been murdered ; I thought it had been taken out of some churchyard . I generally rake the engine fire every night , and leave it . J do not think any person could ct his about the

      premues without being heard ; I have nut knswu any person about the premises f ^ r some months now . There 13 a cabin adjoining , with a large flic place in it , but the tire there is very seldom kept in—never txcepfc for the accommodation of our own tnon . The ftoor is kept fastened . 1 do not know of any woman belonging any of the famil . es to be missing . I think the fiie in the cabin has bten raked within the last month . The cabin is used to keep to » ls in , and there aro a great variety of things in it . I do not know that anything haa occurred to excite suspicion in my mind of anything being wrong . I do not know that any person has been seen in tho cabin . It is a veiy lonely place ; bnt during the night , there are numerous persons passing backward and forward . By a Juror . —I have nev . r observed any stains of blood either inside the cabin or out .

      By the Coroner . —i believe the men employed by Messrs . Fenton and Co . are all mairied . 1 ouce found a woman in tho cabin , about a y . ar and a half a >; o . By a Juror . —I havo never Hii >) t any unpleasant smell about tbe premises , nor have 1 ever found the fire hi in the morning . Bj ,- the Coroner . —I . have known women be on board vessels with the sailors , who have not belonged to the vessel . I do not know of any vessel having stopped at oar Etaith within the last five or six w > eks . I do not think it is possible to ascertain . It might be done at tbe locks . Bv a Juror . —1 have not known any vessel from Halifax fctop here . The vessels which load there are generally from Stipton .

      The witness was then about to ¦ withddraw , when one of the Jury a > -ked him if he had not a daughter by his first wife ?—W itness—I never had a daughter at all , ) at , least , so ve understood his answer . ) ' He was told to sit down again , and in answer to further questions By the Coroner , said I had never seen anything of ' this kind before ; 1 thought it was a human being when , first I saw it . 1 thought so from the place where the ] arms and neck bad been . 1 saw tbe body turned over ; it was a dark colour , and looked like a piece of 1 bacon . J am of opinion that the body has been floated icto the cut irom above ; the wind was blowing from . ' ! i i I i

      the opposite side , and would blow it into the cut rather than 071 r tbe dam stones . J bad not heard of any person having seen the body before my wife saw it on tbe Saturday . There were other parties who stood by who were of opinion it was : v human boily as well as myself . I am not sure whether I first said so , but 1 think I did . 1 cannot speak to a certainty whether any person has remained in the cabin all night within the ] 3 st six * weeks . There was another man in tbe hi . uvi with me when 1 was first told of ihis . I think 1 nia ^ e use of the word " trunk . ' I have heard that name applied befere . I am a Lancashire man .

      By a . Juror—The captains or men belonging to the coal Doau do not make use of the cabin . 1 do not know that they have done so . By the Coroner—I believe I have told you all I kno-w on the EU * -j-ct . I should deserve punishment if I knew any thing and did not tell you . 1 have no suspicion of any one . I do not know » f any quarrel taking place between any man and woman on the river . 1 am sure I called it a " trunk '' "when I first saw it on the bank .

      Eiizibeth Dean . —I saw tUe body first on Saturday week , about half past three in the afternoon . I had been to market It "was about a hundred y 3 rda from our house . Tho wind was blowing very strong , and 1 thought it was a pi-. 'ce of bacon or spoilt meat ; I got a stick aa < l moved it ; I thought it could not be a dog . I then srw the iucs end , and thought it was a shoulder piece <> f b : icon . It was about twenty yards lower down the cut , qu Saaday , than when I saw it on Saturday . 1 U-iii the police-m-in a sheot to put the body in . 1 do not think there has been any unpleasant smell from tbe cabin lately . By a JuTor . —I do not know of any person having slept in th « cabin lately . Tbe instrument by which it is fasrtned is a ! ways kept in our house ; it is a piece of iron , and the door is difficult to he opened .

      Wia . D ^ t- —I was with Anstin yesterday we . k , when this body was found . Austin saw ft , tirst , and took it out of the water . We then sent a boy to the crane-house , and three men came out . Jonathan Dean was one of them ; he said it would be best to have it buried ; it was a " body . " I believe that was the expression he made use of . I do not think ho said it was a *• trunk . " I hive never heard the expression before -, but I have seen it in the newspapers this week As far as I beard , he did not make use of the word . Dean then went for ths spade , but came back "without one , and said we had better tell a policeman . It was near eleven o ' clock in the forenoon . By a Juror—At first when I saw it I thought it was a piece of meat . Austin was determined to have H out , sod then I saw it looked like a human body . When the men came op , one of them said it was a body ; but I do not know which of them it was .

      By tlie Coroner—I do not know that any particular obserraHoas were made by the three men ; it did not strike me that Dean seemed in any way confused : there was nothing in his conduct 'which seenisd to be at all suspicious ., The body was left by Austin and myself on the bask side while we went to fetch a policeman . There was nobody to have prevented either Dean or any one else from making away with it if tbey had had & mind . I did not bear Dean remark that the body bad been burnt . Wm . Austin recalled—When the body was first

      taken out of the water by me it waB laid with toe back upwards . I am certain that Dean made use of the \ rotd " trunk" on Sunday . I have a perfect recollection that lie said so . I have heard ttie word before at different times . I have no doubt at all that he made use of that word . I did not notice that any of tha three men expressed surprise when the body was fomtd { there was nothing that struck me as being suspicious . Several remarks were made , End one said " it was a curious thing that it should be fonnd there . " I was not surprised to hear Dean make use of the word " trunk .

      I think , daring the time of Daniel Good ' s affair . I am sure I am not mistaken . There being no farther evidence , The Coroner then said , be thought there was auffiicient evidence before them to enable them to come t- > a conclusion aa to the cause of death ; he enggested , however , that the best course would be to further adjourn the enquiry , as by that Btep the subject would be kept more before the public , and it might be the means of eliciting some further evidence . He thought also it was due to the public that the case should be as fully investigated as possible . Some of the Jurors expressed themselves as agreeing cordially in the propriety of a further adjournment .

      Tbe Coroner said he might intimate that since last Monday everything that possibly could be done had been done , in order , if possible , to lead to a discovery , or to any means which might lead to an identity of tbe body . Mr . Markland , ona of the Borough magistrates , bad attended the inquest , and as well as the magistrates generally , bad been indtfuigable in causing every inquiry to be made . He would suggest that the adjournment should should bo for a fortnight , and if anything transpired , they could be called together at an earlier day . This suggestion was adopted , and the inquiry adjourned accordingly until Monday , the 20 th instant , at six o ' clock in tbe evening .

      None of their bodies have yet been picked up . About two hours after the abeve melancholy occurrence , anothet ? brig , coal laden , was driven by the fury of the hurricane on the rooks , within a mile and a half to the east of Saltburn , where she ha 9 since , it is staged , gone to pieces . The crew , eleven in number , were taken off the wreck by a fishing smack , which ! landed them in about four hours after , in perfect safety . V O £ - Three Vessels Lost , wits All Hant > 3 . —During the storm on j the 13 th of last month , two vessels were seen to go down , ia deep water off the coast of Norfolk , a few miles southward of Yarmouth . They

      have since been ascertained to be the Nancy and the Petrel . The | former belonged to Dover , and her crew consisted of five persons , William Newton , master , Tvernier Lawrence , Charles West , William ChickwJn , George Partridge , and another . The whole of them perished . Most of them have friend 3 residing at Dover to deplore their untimely end . The other vessel jwas from Ramsgate , and her crew amounted to ; five seamen . They also perished . Another vessel , called the Jane , bound to Glasgow , has been missing since the morning of the 13 ch ult ., and no doubt is entertained but that she went down within a fewj miles of Milford Haven . Her crew perished with . her .

      Information had been received of the brig Mary and Isabella , from Wick to Leitb , having been totally lost 011 the rocks ashore of Findon , seven miles south of Aberdeen . The occurrence took place between eight and nine o ' clock on Friday night last , and a portion of the crew and two female passengers were drowned . At Blyth , on the same ni ^ ht , the Rochester Castle , a schooner , amidst the gale , broke from her moorings , and drifted out of the havUour . when she subsequently capsized , and went

      down in deep water . She is a total wreck . At . Staithes the hurricane on Friday was severely felt . About ten o'clock on the following morning alight brig , named the Thomas , of North Shields , drave on shore within ti few milts of tho town . Through tho great exertions of hundreds who had assembled on bhore , the crew were all saved by means of a ropo from the shipi Tho vessel is a total wreck . T * e Elizabeth , cf [ Harwich , a schooner of about " 200 tons burden , was totally lost ou the North Sea on Thursday las-1 . All the crew , except one , was saved .

Early in th ;; morning the coast on each side of Portruah was strewed with fragments of someuHfortunate vessel supposed to have been wrecked on the tearful rocks ot the Skerries Isles , and no : doubt the orew must have instantly perished . Several casks of porter , marked " Kiliot and Co ., London , " li ^ ve been picked up , also rovtral casks have been found , which tho coastguard havo taken posbesfeiou of . The only part ot th '^ wreck which can j < iye any clue to the name of ihi .-i ill fj . teu vessel ia the ibust ofala <' y , painted white , part , of the carved work on her stern , aud a capstan bar , branded with " Brilliant , of Aberdeen . "

      LIVERPOOL . The weather ha 3 since Monday lafit been exM-euioly tempestuous .. On that day there was a severe # alo from the westward , which , agitating the river , inacio the vpsds ride uneasily . On Wednesday nii ; hf , the gale increased to a storm , which continued without intermission ilie whole of Thursday . During the night , or early in the morning , a schooner was wrecked on Blayuey ' s-bank , so called from having been the spot : where the Lord Blayney steamer was lost , with alllhands , some years ago . This bank is near theSVelsh shore , off Rhyl , whereas the Tekgraph announced the situation of the wreck as follows : — " There is a schooner sunk on West Hoyle , the crew in ' the rigging . The Point of Ayr

      lifeboat is going towards the vessel at 8 h . ' 30 m . p . m . " Tiie wreck w ^ s , it , appears , observed from Hhyl , to which tho Point of Ayr life-boat was taken by land . She was thence launched and fully manned . Bern" to the windward of tho wreck , she soon reached tho edge of the bank ;) but so tremendous was the sea , it would have been destruction to hive attempted to go aijar the bank to the schooner . For three hours the men remained as ; near the spot as they deemed prudent , in the liopu that , the sea would moderate , so as make it sate for them to venture towards the wreck . But despainti ^ , in the then raging state of the surf , of succeeding in thuir humane object , they most rciuctautly quiueel the edgo of tho bank , in the hope that tho- weather would moderate during the nucht ,

      and enable them , if tho vessel should hold together and the rrcu survive , to mako a more successful rffurt in the m'jrning . While the Point of Ayr li ' eboat was a'templing to reach the wreck from the We / eh , coa&t , a similar abortive attempt was made lo sive the men from tho Lancashire shce . As soon as tho signal of distress was observed flying at H ; : * tone Lighthouse , and the Telegraph announced thii the veeSi'i in distress was sunk on West Hoy lo , the Steaming : Company s vessel , the Victoria ,, was ordered to put to sea instantly , accompanied by the company ' s li eboat , fully manned . The proceedings of tde Victoria w ; ll be seen by the following Htaumnnt , with which we have been furnished : — " At tin mimiu . s past nine , a . m ., ou the 2 J ins-t ., a

      signal of di ' -tr-. ss was observed at Bidstone . Our lifeboat's cr < = w immediately mustered , and a signal was made lor tho steamer Victoria , it being her Jook-out . 'J he hieboat was got out and the steamer alongside the , G . 'orgo ' s Pier-head by half-past nine , a . m . By this time the sub-manager , Mr . Barber , had arrived at the picr-hcad , when one of our clerks went up to the Telegraph office and obtained the enclosed information ; on presenting which to tho sub-manager he was ordered by him to go again to the Telegraph-offk-fl , to obtain , if possible , information of the position on West Hoyle wh / re the schooner was { sunk- But they could not give him any further information on the subject , than that the Point of Ayr Uiteboa ; W 8 S then two mil s to the

      southward of her . Tno steamer then ieft , with- the lifeboat ia tow , it being ten minutes to ten , a . m ., and proceeded ) down , through the Rock Channel , to about six miles to tho westward of tho N . W . Lightship , in about four fathoms and a half , on the northern edge , of West Hoyie . There was a man kept at the misthead oi' the sttamer the whole way down , and the master and sub-manager repeatedly went up therei themselves , but could not see anything of the Mi-liooner . At two , p . m . they bore up for . Liverpool , under the full conviction that itho schooner had gone to pieces . " The fact of the wreck having been on Blayney ' s

      Bank , and notion West Hoyle , the two banks being miles asunder j explains the reason of the Victoria not seeing the wreck . At nightfall two poor follows were still in the rigging , the sea washing over them . How thty managed to cling to the rigging all day , amidst tho continued washing of the waves and the piercing cold , lit is difficult to gue . ^ s . What their feelings must havo been , if they saw the attempts of the life-boat anil the steam-boat to rescue them from their perlous isituation , and the failure of one attempt : after another to reach them , cannot be expressed , but may b 8 imagined . The storm continued through the night . Next morning not a single vestige of the unfortunate steamer could be seen from the

      Bidstone station . The unhappy crew had perished . They originally consisted of four , but two had been drowned early in the morning . On Friday night . or rather on Saturday morning , the wind blew a complete hurricane from the northward , there having been very little West in it . One small vessel was wrecked on the banks , and all hands were lost . Neither her name nor the port whence she came could be discovered , any more than tho name and port of ' the schooner wrecked on Wednesday night . I A flat was also wrecked Rear Mockbeggar , but the crew were happily saved . The British and North American royal mail steamer the Acadia was at her moorings in the Sloyne , ready

      to start on her voyage to Halifax and Boston . So violent , however , was tho storm , and so agitated the river , that several of the ferry steamers could not , early in the forenoon , ply . Nor dare any steamer make the attempt to carry the passengers and ths mails alongside ^ lest it shou'd be seriously damaged , if not actually sunk , by the heavy sea . But , even it ' the passengers * and the mails had been on board , it would not have been prudent for a vessel drawing so much water to I have attempted to cross the bar , on which there was a tremendous sea , after the turn of the tide . All these considerations induced the agents to delay the steamer ' s sailing until Sunday , when , the storm having abated , she proe ^ ded to sea . — Albion .

      An Investigation is on foot relative to t 5 te purloining of a vahiable portion of Eari F \ tzmUia . m ' s juwels from Milton House . Suspicion attaches , " it appears , to some of his lordship ' s domestics . Newbiggin-os-Sea , near Morpeth . —The brig Blucher , of and from London , in ballast for Warkworth , was , on Saturday morning , totally wrecked on some rocks near this place . The captain , Mr . John Johnson , < with two others , were saved ; but three , including ithe son of the captain , were lost . Exportation Of Specie . —Specie to a very large amount is now : exportiug from Liverpool to the United States . jThe British and North American royal mail steamer Caledonia , which sailed on the 4 th ult ., for Halifax and Boston , carried out above 100 , 000 sovereigns ; and , yesterday , the Acadia , for the same port , had on freight not less than 300 , 000 ,

      The ordinary rate of insurance for specie in these steamers is 12 s . ( 6 d . per cent ., but in consequence of the large quantity going by the Acadia , and the extremely boisterous state of the weather during the last week , the premium roee as high as to 30 jw . At this rate , even , it was difficult to get insurance done on specie , the underwriters being quite full of risks . The packet ship ! Independence , which sailed yesterday for New York , carried out 60 , 000 sovereigns on freight ; and thejpaoket ship New York , which will sail to-morrow for the same port , will haze a large quantity on freight . The Great Western , too , which will leave Br istol on Saturday next for Madeira and New York , ! will carry out a large amount of speoie . The sovereigns thus exportedare , it is supposed , ohitfly intended for operations in bills of exchaflge . — £ i verpool A Ition .

      THE MUTILATION CASE AT LEEDS . FUETHEB PAli . TICCi . AIlS OF THE ** GKEENACRe "

      MCEDEK . On Mor . day evening the adjourned inqnest , on the bciy if a female unknown , was held at the Court House , tefore John Bl ^ kburn , E q . Tbe Coioner , in opening the case , obssived that be . was sorry that up to the yrtsdnt time nothing deflniU . had transpired to lead to the identity of the mntiiated body of the f = male ; therefore at present they would be able only to c- > rapls-. fi the evidence of tb * medical men , Sir . -Price and Mr . T . P . T ^ -ale , woo bad jointly , tince tne a j r > t : niiiient of the iEqiest , enttr « i into a minute examination of the remains , sud who had come to es . ict : y the same conclusion . TLsre would , however , ai ^ o be one or two witnesses caiicii as to tht ; fimiing of xh : ' . rnnk : and af-. tr thty had heird this tbey wcnld then have to consider whether they would came to a c-jBc : asion on the subject , or whether the more prudent ct-orse would be to have a farther a-ijourntnent , in oi < itr to give the f udeBt opportunity for procuring such additional evidence as-could be obtained .

      The Coroner then read tbe following statement , which had been drawn np jointly by Mr . Price aud Mr . T . P . Tealt ;—Tie portion of the body submitted to our inspection inclnded the fiftb cervical vertebite , and the fourth lumbar , trith tbe intermediate parts , measuring in itagth eighteen inches and & half , or from the spinous ' process of the fifth cervical to that of the fouth lumbar Vertebiaa seventeen inches , aad around the chest immediately below the armpits , thirty inches . Thd head had been detached between the fourth and fifth c&rvical vtrtibiaj , ; u » a tbt lower extremities with the p * - ! vis , between the foaa ih aud fifth lumbar vertebi » . The riijht arm bad been removed by cutting through the shorndtT-joint ; the left arm by sawing through a portion of the eeav-ula , or blade bone . Tbe mode in which tbe left arm bad bttn separated showed that it had been done by a person ignorant of anatomy .

      fhe whole of the frout Burface < jf the body ¦ was black , and presented a burnt or charred appearance—the akin of this par t being enttrely destroyed . Each of the breasts measured three inches and a half in length , t-aro inches aud a half in breadth , and one and a quaiter in thickness . They wtre deprived of their skin by bnraing . Tiieir aab > tanee sppeared to be much condensed bj the sction of fire ; conitauenUy tbey irere smaller than in their natural state . Their glandular stiasture was .- 'istinct .

      Tbiee openings were observed in the front part of the chest , vbich had been produced by great violence . At theee openings tbe ribs were troken into several fragments . The fractures implicated the fourth , fii " ti » , and sixth xiba on the right , and the second , third , and fcurtfc , and the axri , seventh , sad eighth , on ths left side . Ho extravasated blood ner wagulum coald be detected in tbe textures surrounding the broken bones , nor -wax there any eoagulum lodged in the pleural cs , vities . Tbe Jnngs at the paris corresponding to tbese openings were charred to a Email txteat .

      The anterior edge of the liver was bernt , and the intestines » se extensively charred and rustilated . Tbe pfccttHal and the abdominal mnsejes were burnt to a cinder . The broken ends cf the ribs and the sternum trere brown from the agency of fire . The divided muscles of tbe necfc , the trachea , and tbe thyroid gland-were bkek and hardened by fixe . Tbe divided border of tbe abominal muscles was burnt to a cinder ; but the muscles dmfied in the separation of the aims did net appear to have undergone tbe ageney of fire . w The skin of the back was firm and leathery ia appearance , and » little browner than natoral , " * at H" » * ides did it appear black-^ . ^ Oa removing the akin tha muBcles of tHe back -were setardtahiet In structure , pale-coloured .

      HUPDER . SFIES . D . —Petty thefts and nightly depredations are most alarmingly on the increase in this town and neighbourhood ; and it is strongly reported that our Poor Law Union will be broken up almost immediately , for want of means , many of tae py . ruh officers declaring it to be impossible to collect the rates from the inhabitants . MID-iOTHIAN . —The farmers of Mid-Lothiau have lattly held two rrieetings , for the purpose of cun-iiiering the propriety of universally reducing their corvauis' and labourers' wages '! They came to the determination to reduce their servants ( men ) £ 2 per year , and to pay no more than one shilling

      per day to men . and sixpence per day to women labourers . One of those meetings was held at Dalkeith . the othorin Edinburgh . At the latter , a Mr .

This worthy only paid one penny per rood ( of six yard ; - ) for cutting drains ot twenty inches deep , this kist summer !

      Disastkjis at Ska . —Makg . ite , Feb . 5 . —Another vesbol is added to the list of homeward-bonrd , which at uvi very close of their voyage , have Buffered shipwivek in the channel . Tue Larkins , a fino ship , belonging to Messrs . Heaviside and Co , of Cornhitl , which arrived in the Downs on Thursday last , from China , after breaking from her moorings on Saturday night , came a .-horo on ilio Wnipolt ) Rock , about one milo to the oust of Maigate , at half-past four o ' olork oa Sunday morning . Tho circumstances of thu j , resont Ics differ materially frcm the recent f : ! . jmifi ( rf ori the French coo . j ; , inasmuch as the I . nvkins ba'l reached the Downs in safety , and was riding » t bor anchorage when the heavy gale sprang up on Friday night . Two steam-tugs had been despatched t ' roni the river to bring her into the docks , bpt on the ' r arrival within f-icht of the ship , the

      weather w is so boisterous that it was found impossible to make head against it , and they were both compelled to take 6 hoher in Margate-roads ; ono of them having lost an anchor and chain . The Larl : ins rode out the gale well during Saturday morning , having 120 fathoms of chain out ; but about midnight it . was discovered that she was driving ne : ; r shore , and Captain Hibbert considered it a . dvisable to cut , both the main and mizen masts away , in order to save the ship from striking . In this , unfortunately , h « was not successful , as she came on shore with the flood-tide , about four a . m . ou Sunday morning . The ship sits well , and great hopes are entertained tha . t the cargo will bo got out without much damage , though the s * . a wis too high up to Sunaay night to allow any steamer to approach her , and her position precluddS the possibility of communication from tho land .

      I Whjtbv , Sundav Morning . —One of the most distressing shipwrecks that has occurred on this part of the coast for several years took p ' . aoe yesterday at the entranceof Robin Hood ' s-bay , situate a few miles to the south of this harbour and to the north of the ruins of Scarborough Castle , whereby , wo regret to state , a party of the Coast Guard Service , belonging to the station at that place , under the command of . the chief officer , Lieutenant Lingard , R . N ., with the crew of ( ho distressed vcbsoI , consisting of six persons , met with a watery grave . The particulars are as follows : —During Friday night and yesterday morning the wind blew a hurricane from N . E . , Early in fho morning a brig was observed endea ,-vouring to run into tho bay for shelter , but a tremen-1

      dous s- a threw the vessel upon her broadside , ' and drove her ashore , wit . hin a short distance from the entrance ol the bay . Tbe crew made every exertion , to get her off , but finding it impossible , and that her i destruction would speedily follow , they took to the r ijtra . ing for saioty , Upon their situation being observed by the cflicer on duty near tho spot , he hastened , to give tho alarm to the station . Lieutenant Lingard directly ordered tho life-boat to bo launched , into which h <^ eot , followed by five of his men , and thley pushed off in gallant style io tho distressed vessel ,. which proved a collier belonging to London , named ; the William and Ann . The sea being excessively high , mid as it snowed heavily , it was a length of ! time before they could reach the vessel . Upon j

      ! i coming alongside , the crew were taken off , and the boat ' s lu-ad was put about for the shore , Lieutenant \ Lingard taking chargn of the helm . She had not reached any considerable distance from the wreck before a heavy wavo struck the boat and turned her ' . bottom up , throwing the whole of her living freight , into tho boilirg surf . L'euttnant Ltugard and seve- ral others immediately roso and clung to the boat , ! while others attempted to gain the shore by swim- ( rning . Their ories could bo plainly heard from the beach , but it was beyond all human power to render j them assistance . Every soul perished . An attempt ( ' was ma . de by tho commacder of the brig Ay ton , ; which happened to be within a short distance of the spot , and four seamen , to go to thtir assistance , but j boat

      ^ heir was upset , and they narrowly escaped i ¦ meeting with a similar fate . The tramps of the ; " coastguard-men who perished with Lieutenant Lin- ! ! gard are reported to be , Chri . stoph . fr Truemau , Win . 1 Pond , Robert A very , Edward Jcllings , and another . The names of tho crew of the vessel aro not yet . I known . Most of the sufferers have families residing j ! ill ihe town , and are highly respected , particularly ; lieutenant Lingard , whoso loss is greatly deplored . Up to the present hour , eight o ' clock Sunday morn- J ing , only one body haa been washed ashore ; it is that of a seaman , and is supposed to be one of the crtw belonging to the wreck . The vessel lies i high upon the shore , and is expected hourly to go to j

      piece ? . ] O . v Saturday , during a violent squall of wind , fifteen coal-ships drove from their anchors and went j ashore in Woolwich-reach . They all sustained / damage , and w « re not got off without great difficulty . Eight barges , all laden , were sunk in the reach , and about ono o'clock , when the wind was , blowing a tremendous hurricane from the northwest , furty watermen ' s boats were sunk at Green- ! wioh , and tho loss to the pour owners will bo at least £ 300 . The surge washed over the Government ' vessels lying off the dock-yard , and it was neces- j sary to batten down all the hatches on deck . The mischief done in the lower part of the river while j the storm lasted has been immense , and several ;

      steamers alsa suffered . On the same morning the \ tide rose to an unusual height , owing to the northcrly winds keeping tho water up the English ' , Channel , and the streets near the river at Graves- ; end , Woolwich , and Greenwich , were overflowed , aad tho ground-floors , cellars , and kitchens of the houses were filled with the . flood , and much prc- p ^ rry de-nroyed . In High-street , Wapptng , Mr . j Johnson , of the Ship , at Execution-dock ; Mr . Wag- j mush , of tho Watermen ' s Arms ; and Mr . Willard , i ofihe White Swan , have sustained losses by the ; inundation to tho amoiint of £ 200 . In ltotherhithe i the tido washed over the wharfs into the streets , and | has proved very disastrous to many inhabitants here . The marshes at Dagenham and other places were ' inundated , and are now under water .

      Redcar , Sunday Morning . —During Fricfay night and yesti .-nlay we have been visited by the most awful storm of wind , snow , and raia , that has been experienced since the memorable gale in the year 1839 ; with this difference : the present storm blew N . N . E . dead on shore , and the other from nearly the bpposite point . Among the numerous casualties , I regret to record the total Joss of the brig Liberty , a vessel about 200 tons burden , belonging to Sunderland , while on her passage from Lynn , commanded by Mr . Liddell , master , which occurred at one o ' clock yesterday morning , at a place called Saltburn , situate within a short distance of this place . The revenue officers , on observing the perilous condition of the vessel , got the Redcar life-boat in readiness , and . upon her striking , which happened

      about the hour above-mentioned , it was shoved off to the rescue of the unfortunate persons oa board . After the brig reached the shore , the crew got the longboat overboard , and attempted to gain the beach , but almost at the same moment it was cap sized by an immense wave , and tho -whole of them were precipitated into the sea . The life boat was then within a quarter of a mile of the vessel , and although every nerve was strained by these who manned the oars to save the poor fellows , it was found impossible , consequently all of them ( excepting a youth of the name of William Phillips ) met with a watery grave . He was miraculously saved by clinging to the seats of the boat , after being capsized , and was not perceived until after he had been washed ashore . The number who perished was five , being the master ( Mr . Liddell ) and . four seamen ,
