      Fatal Accidents . —The fotlowiDg loss of life took place at Grangemouth one evening last week . A sailor who had been on shore , la going along a plank to retnrn to the vessel , which was lying in the canal , accompanied by a young woman , happened to lose hiB balance , and . catching hold of the girl , both unfortunately fell into the water . An old woman who was near the ? pot at the ; time of the accident gave the alarm , and , it is reported , rushed into the water to lend her feeble aid to save the drowning couple . The captain of the vessel also plunged into the water for the same humane purpose , bat perished Exertions were now made by sevsral people to removfl the bodies from the water . The captain was taken out lifeless . The bodies of ihe girl and sa Hor were taken out clasped in each other ' s arms .

      A Coracn ot French Ministers was held on Thursday , under the Presidency of Marshal Soult . It was reported in the Salle dea Conferences of the Chamber , that the Council had taken into consideration the result of the discussion which arose the preceding day in the bureaux relative to the right of search and the Spanish guestion . Tho majority of the Cabinet appeared disposed to accept , in the address , a phrase expressive of a wish that negotiations might bo opened for the revision of the treaties of 1831 and 1833 . M . Guizot did not share this opinion of his colleagues , bnt held to their execution .

      It is said that Sir Henry Hsrdinge purposes to br : ng forward several measures which he recommended when giving his evidence before the committee , on military punishments . Among others , we understand tbat the comfortless staf 6 of the soldiers * barrack room will be remedied , and that many of the useless and harassing regulations will be done away with ; for instance , a soldier is not allowed to smoke in his room ; he is not allowed to sit down on his bed , nor to mend his shoes in his room . Such absurd restrictions ought to be removed . The crowding together

      of the men is also another annoyance : the rooms ought to better arranged , and not more than twelve cr fourteen men should ba put into them . We trust that these and manv more beneficial alterations may be introduced . We arc , iowevor , ot opinion that nothing can be effected to make the soldier contented while serving , except limited engagements , and an alteration in the issue of the bounty , 60 that the recruit may join free from debt , and commence hia ca-Teer on his fnll daily pay . —tfaval and Military Gazelle .

      Railway Stoppage bt Snow . —As the Exeter mail was proceeding down the Southampton railway one night last week , the train , either from the heavy fall of snow on the line , or from the inability of the engine to proceed further , was suddenly brought to a siaud-still about seven miles beyond Woking station . Accordingly the train put back to that station , where an additional engine was obtained , and the train proceeded on its way . When , however , within a short distance of the place where the stoppage occurred , it was azain impeded bv the breaking of the

      ax'n ¦ f one of the engines , ana again forced to put back to Woking . The mail was delayed by these circumstances upwards of two honrs . Travellers upwards , from Devonshire and Cornwall , describe the fall of snow as very heavy during the night . The Dover and Hastings mails were behind time nearly two hours in reaching London from the depth of snow on tbe route . All the hills and valleys on the road to Tunbridge-Wells and Dover are heavily covered with snow , and Shooter ' s-hill has entirely changed its aspect within a few hourB .

      Iros Trade . —Tha nsual quarterly meetings of the ironmasters were held during the last week . Tho anticipations that a considerable demand wonJd have amen from the settlement-of affdirs in the East and the commercial treaty with China , wcro not realized , having been checked by the delay in the completion of the arrangements with Spain and Portugal , which caused hesitation on the part of purchaser ? of iron , while the expectation of their being speedily and favonrably concluded induced the ironmaster- ; and holders to be firm , and but few sales were f-ffreted and no very large contracts made . A confident expectation exisiB , however , tbat as spring advances , and the arrangements alluded to are completed , there will be an increased demand , with a full maintainance of present prices , if not a considerable advance . The sales made by needy individuals , under snch suspense , cannot be considered Jo form a criterion of the market prices . —Birmingham

As the students parsed , a few of them joined those sdready engaged with the snowbails . Altbongh we must confess We saw no injury offered to either the property cr the person of any one , however , the policemen very rashly interfered , which made the balls fly thicker than before , and a nnmber of the studentB took possession of the space within the walls of ' the Infirmary . The policemen being all the time in Infirmary-street , mad 9 a rush

      at the gate , whare a smart skirmish ensued between them and the students , which lasted some minntesthe policemen doing their best to make prisoners of the students . They were repelled , however , and pushed outside of the gate .

There was a larger number of entries than ever he had known io be brought before him at the sessions for a single quarter . Since he first came to this country there was a positive increase of one-fourth in the number of civil bill entries . Tbe extraordinary increase on the present occasion he attributed to the very depressed state of the lower classes .

      STOPPAGE OF THE BANK OF PARKER shore ; and co . of Sheffield . ( From a ThirdEdxtion of the Sheffield Independent . ) It is our deeply afflictive duty to announce the worst piece of local aewa that ever was published in Sheffield , —the stoppage of the Sheffield Old Bank of Messrs . Parker , Shore , & Co ., that highly respecled firm , who have earned and maintained until this time , a degree of public confidence such as no country bankers have exceeded . The disastrous intelligence is conveyed in tho following notice ;—

      " It is with tho deepest regret that Messrs Parker , Sho re , and Co ., atinounco to their much valued connection and the public , that , owing to the long-continued commercial depression , and the heavy Jesses , which their banking-house has sustained in preceding years , they are under tho necessity of suspending payment ; and they have also to announce * to the creditors , that immediate Btepa will be taken to bring their affairs to a close . " Sheffield Bank , Jan . 14 , 1843 . " This calamity will inevitably produce the greatest dismay and embarrassment , uot in Sheffield ouly , but throughout the neighbourhood .

      The immediate effect will probably be a panic and a run upon the other banks . With regard io them , we have great satisfaction in being enabled to give an assurance which we trust will be much to calm the public mind . The stoppaj ; e of Mossrs . Parker , Shore , and Co ., is not produced by any run , or sudden event . 1 ; is the result , aa they state , of the longcontinued depression , which , by rendering business unprofitable , has prevented them from retrieving the losses of former years . The other banks , therefore , are not taken by surprise . They have had timely notice , and we are assured , on the highest authority from several quarters , that they are fully prepared for any panic or any run that may ensue . From a

      well-iiif ormed source , we have the information that they are ready to pay at once every penny that can be demanded of them . Most serious , therefore , as thoeffdetof the stoppa&fl of Messrs . Parker ^ Shore , and Co , mu * t be , we feel satisfied that the other banks will stand firm , luid are ready to render all the accommooation which they can with propriety to those who may be embarrassed by the stoppage . With regard to the issue of this disastrous event we arc also enabled to state that it is confidentially anticipated that tho assets of the bank , aided by the property of the partners , will prove moro than adoquate to the payment of all demands . We believe that the affairs of the bank will be wound up uuder a fiat in bankruptcy .

      Wo oanaotconcludethis melancholy announcement without expressing our deep sympathy for the partners in tho bank , and especially for its revered head , Hugh Parker , Esq . Every man in Sheffield will feel that the calamity is infinitely embittered by the reflection , that his latter years should have been darkened by the foreshadowing , and by the consummation of such an event . We trust , however , that he will derive consolation from the universal and heartfelt sympathy that will be elicited . He and

      his partners will enjoy the satisfaction , not only of knowing that they have done all that economy and careful management could do , to avert this disaster , but that the publio confidence in their honour and integrity is unshaken , and will receive a new justification from the disclosures now to be made . We believe it will ba proved' that the partners have for several years made great personal sacrifices to sustain the ba-. ik . We have heard it stated that , for many years past , neither Mr . Parker nor Mr . Shore have drawn anything out of the bank .

      We trust that the assurance we are enabled to pvo , tbat the other banks are perfectly prepared and safe , and the anticipation that ultimately the creditors of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co ., will Bustain no losa , will tend 10 calm the public mind , and save the town from the aggravation of toe original calamity which unbounded alarm would produce .

      ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA . Tho British an-t North American Riyal Mail Steamer Britannia . Captain Hewitt , which sailed from Boston on the afternoou of the 1 st and Halifax , on the night of the 3 d instant , arrived at Liverpool on Sunday njght She encountered dreadful weather during the passage , and feit the full effects of the hurricane on Friday < Iast . She has , notwithstanding , made tbe voyage iu under fourteen days from port to port . We have received by the Britannia New York papers to the 31 st ult , and Boston to the 1 st and Halifax to the 3 d inst Their contents are not important . Tha New York papers oif the latest dates aro filled With rtpints of the proceedings of the court-martial instituted for the trial of the mutineers of the United States brig of war Somera , which wob Bitting on board the North Caroline , at New York . Tbe mutiny -was tbe all-fcugrossin « topic of conversation ; wo have given an outline thereof in another column .

      The proceedings in Congress were of the ordinary kind . The subjects before it purely domestic , though allusion had been made te the Oregon tt-. mtory , on a motion being made for papers concerning it . The Government seemed to be blamed for having passed the subject over in the negotiations between them and Lord Aahburton . The general features of the nioney-waifcet are described as remaining the Bame as at tbe failing of tbo previous packet . Money was very plentiful , and but iittle in demand for business purposes . Specie was accumulating in the banka . A fair extent of business had been done in exchange for the Britannia ; prices were not , however , firm . The rate on London waa 10 B | to l ( Mi ; on Paris , 5 , 43 to 6 , 45 . The New York American in its money art ' ele for tbe Britannia , thus aiiuties to the etate of affairs : at tbe close of the year ;—

      " The year closes upon us ¦ without much , in our commercial and financial situation , to look back upon with satisfaction , or look forward with hope . " The same general diseaso still pervades the country—the want of a general currency , and the violent contractions of all locaV banks , which have , in fact , in some portions 0 ! tbe United States , brought back the old system of barter , fur want of any circulating representative of property . " Congress has been in session nearly a month , and , although a good deal has btion dons of routine business , nothing baa ever bet-n sahl as to the schemes for receiving , safely beeping , and disbursing the revenue of tbe Government , and incidentally of cveatiBg some sort of jjatioual currency ; nor do we bciiuve that anyone of the various projects broached for these purposes stands the least cbanca of success . There remain but two months more of the session , and of this brief existence but little , wo apprehend , will be conceded to exchequer crudities .

      " The secretary of the Treasury's report shows , upon estimate , a more favourable prospect for the future than we bad hoped for . He looks forward to a surplus in June , 1844 . " The bankrupt law is still in jeopardy in Congress , though the tffoit to repeal it . entirely seems to meet gteater obstaclee than were anticipated . We inelihe to the opinion that it will not be wholly repealed , though it may be modi 3 ed by striking out tho voluntary clause , and possibly by extending its general provisions to corporations issuing money . " No movement at all , indicating what may be in reserve as to the tariff , has yet been made in either house . "

      " The large sums in specie received by the Britannia steamer and ether conveyance , for the purchase of bilU of exchange and cotton , have not affected the market as to the former . The latter -was started somewhat by the general impulse given to prices in England by the China and India news . " The accounts from Kingston seem contradictory us to the state of Sir C . Bagot ' s health . The latest bulletin iseuad represented bis Excellency to ba in a very i < yw stats . : No late * accounts had been received from Mexico or Yccatfln . Tbt-re are recent accounts from Texas ^ tut they are unimportant . The Contreja waa la ess-Kiun .

      OPEUATIOS OF THS TARUF ON BEEF . —HaMBUHQH , Jan . 10 . —In some recent publications the farmers of Great Britain aro encouraged to think ( with tho object of sheltering Sir Robert Peel from thdir indignation ) that the fall ia the price of cattle is not all owing to the admission of foreign cattle under a duty ; and the small importation of cattle and pigs since the alteration of , the tariff came into force ia adduced as an argument in support of this opinion . The farmers will do well not to calculate wUhMt their host . The exportajjions from hence , for exain * pie , of ca-. tleand pigs , | were small duricg ? flje « lasfc fow months , because the farmers and graziers ypf Denmark , Holsteiii , Mecklenburg , and other ^ adjacent provinces , were not prepared for the alteration . Their own interest will now induce them to prepare the means for seeding both cattle and piga to England in increasing quantities every year ; and no on ©

      in this vicinity will feel surprised to s « e this branch of commerce , ia tho court e cf & few years , carried on to an extent ten times larger than might be supposed , judging merely from recent operations . Mr . Howitt k in hi 3 recently pubKshed travels through Germany , utters a great deal of nonsense about the absence of meadow land and the miserable condition of cattle , merely because he appears to have been led to a part of Germany whera grazing is not encouraged . If / he had bent hia way to thepravinces and districts abovementioned , he might have feasted his eyes upon meadows and cattle such as he has perhaps seen in no other part of the world I It may be as well to add that Mr . Hewitt ' s boolc itself has not yet reached Hamburg , and the foregoing remarks ate suggested by the extracts which some of the newspapers have furnished . —Correspondent of ihe Morning Chronicle .

      Thb most valuable op eabthly blessings is good btaltb , aud this may often be destroyed by slight negligence , ot preserved by simple means . We beg to refer our readers to Mr .
