FATAL ACCIDENT ONTHE SOUTHEASTERN RAILWAY. CANTERBURY, SVNDAT. An important investigation was resumed and closed last evening at Smith's Tavern, in this city, before Mr. Dellamas, the county coroner, and • respectable jelly, re!•• titre to the death of Samuel George Daniel, a master silk winder, of Bethnal-green, London, who lost his life on the South Eastern Railway, under the circumstances subjoined. The proceedings created deep interest. Captain Wynne, R.E., was in attendance to watch the inquiry on behalf lf the railway department of t h e Board of Trade, and Mr. Church, solicitor, with Capt. Barlow, the superintendent of the hue, on the part of the company. The deceased was a passenger by the Rs:negate eater ' sion train, which left London-bridge station on the after ' noon of the 24th ult., and was seated in one of the large third-alma carriages, which have recently been introduced on the line. They are much wider and longer than the old class of carriages, being eight feet ix inches m width, running upon eight wheels, and calculated to accommodate 120 pax/engem Their iserease of breadth renders the space between the rails and any side erection less than that which was experienced with the old carriages, and that which was formerly no oSstruction at all is now a very dangerous one, unless the doors and windows of the carriages arc protected. At the Ashford station there is a row of iron rulers supperting an iron roof over one of the platform sidings, and from the testimony of the government laspector of Railways, it would seem that when one of the new extended third-class carriages are passing there is only the trifling space of 91 inches from its side to the pillars. Any paseenger putting bas bead ant of the carriage at this particular spot is exposed to much peril of losing his life. The deceased not noticing the distance, it is thought, looked out at the opening of the door, and his bead coming in con tact with one of the pillar, received such a fearful frac ture as to speedily terminate in his death. The doors l of the first and second-class carriages, of the new and similar build, are protected by iron bats being placed lamer them, but there does not seem to have been the same precaution taken in the construction of the third.class. At the previous sitting of the jury it was suggested that the railway department of the Board of Trade should be cost ' munteatea with respecting the character and security of the carriages in question. Accordingly Captain Wynne, R.E., one of inspectors of railwsys, instituted an inquiry ; and the jury, having beard evidence embodying the foregoing &eta, returned a verdict of accidental death, adding and we cannot separate without expressing our surprise and regret that so little can and attention is paid to the safety of rowans traveling in the South Eastern Company's third-clan farriers.'

DINNER TO THE HON. C. P. VILLIERS, M.P. On Friday evening, the two members for tho borough of Wolverhampton were entertained at diani r by their friends at Billiton ' to celebrate their fif th return to the House of Commons. The chair was tilled by Mr. E. B. Dlnaava. After the loyal toasts, the chairman proposed the health of the two hon. gentlemen. The Hon. C. P. VILLIERS, M.l'., on rising to acknow ledge the toast, was greeted with hearty cheers. Atter a few prefatory remarks, be said—Without qualifying at ell the regret I feel that I have not been personally more in connexion with the inhabitants of this town, I do my that the proceedings of the week before last afford the most gratifying confirmation of the view that Mr. Thornely and I bays always taken of the purity and justice of this borough. For sot only do we sterol here elected fur the fifth tiros its members, but we had the most gratifying ad mission made on the hustings on the 9th of this month, by the chief magistrate of the borough, himself opposed to us in political views, in which he stated that we hail so completely established our claim to the renewal of the con fidence of the electors that those opposed to us in political opinions did not think it wise or right to oppose our re election. (Cheers.) I my that was not only a gratifying admission on the pert of that gentleman, but 1 say fur ther, it was a most generous statement for him to mike, and I are nos reason for nut openly declaring that the con duct of the conservative party in the borough was that which would be most creditable to any political hod)! (Hear, hear.) I think there have been six elections since von have been enfranchieed, but I know of no borough that has passed the twenty years ordeal so perfectly un tainted, nay, even unsuspected, as you have done. ((fear, hear.) But if it be so, that whereas almost every other town has had its virtue attempted by the frier.ds of the present government, ours has been unessailed, I venture to say that you are on the eve of a far greater distinction than your intelligence has secured for you before, because I believe there are no qualities so rare now in the constituencies as fidelity and purity. (Hear, bear.) I regret to say this, but fresh from the metropolis, where these matters are the common topic of conversation, I know that it is the opinion of those who have been longest reflecting on this subject that never wee there more depravity exhibited by the con stituencies than daring the election just concluded. (Cries of " Liverpool" and " Derby.") From every pert we hear that the constituents have been either yielding to the influence of threats, or have been allured by the corruption of bribes. In fact it is now of such importance, and the evil has attained such magnitude, that I believe it is on the eve of becoming the great question that will and ought to engross the public mind. It is a nuisance so great that it muslin, abated. (Cheers.) I do believe that the time is arrived in this country with respect to the corrupt practices at elections, and I trust that there is virtue enough in the community, to insist on their suppression. Why this country would full under one of the most paltry and selfish oligarchies that ever existed, if it now submitted tamely to the proceed ings of these constituencies. The whole electoral body barely exceeds 800,000, while the population now reaches nearly thirty million.. (Hear.) Is it to be borne that these men, invested with this high trust of electing the legislators of this country, should be suffered to sell their rights, or basely yield them to the influenne of fear ? (Hear.) It will be time enough to be silent about free trade when they bold their tongues about protection. (Loud cheers.) When the wolf gets into the fold, he naturally tells the shepherd that he is tired of mutton—that he may go away—that he will take charge of the floek—(chars and laughter); but, while the old tooth appears again so manifestly as it does, I my he must be a sorry pastor who could trust the sheep to the assuraeces of such an old offender. (Chan) I am, how. o wee, perfectly sure I express your feelings when I say that if injustice has been done, or is suffered, that our wish is that it should continue no longer ; hut don't let us, under the guise of improving the condition of the poor or the farmer, put more rent into the landlords' pockets. When I first began to most this matter I was met by these gentle men with this declaration : " I agree in the policy of repeal ing the corn laws for the good of trade, but what I care for, and what my heart bleeds for particularly, are the poor." (Loud laughter and cheers.) "It is the agricultural labourer who has been the object of my solicitude throughout my life, and my fears are for him alone if you repeal the corn laws " Well, this poor agricultural labourer has not been much talked of lately, though the corn laws are repealed—(laughter)—for it happens that he was never quite so well off before. But it is raid we have injured the cultivator of the soil!—the British yeeman—that men whom we could never replace if we "once destroy." Well, now, all sympathy is directed toward that class, and yet if you consult that class you will find that they have more faith in what the proprietor himself could do for him than what parliament could do. They could tell the proprietor him self how be could do them good if he would consult them. (Hear.) I can only say that if any one here was to ask me, " What course in this crisis of affairs you should take ?" I should say, " Persevere in the course you have hitherto pursued—(hear, bear)—pmerve the integrity and indepen dence of your borough—let the conduct of other consti tuencies be a warning to yon, and when their scandalous proceedings shall evoke the wrath of the nation—as soon it must if it is to preserve its character as a moral people —you will at least be found with your lamps trimmed and burn ing. (Hear.) Instruct your members to do what they have hitherto done in voting for equal legislation and no monopoly—equal taxation and no preference—adapta tion of burdens generally according to the ability to bear them—(hear, bear)—but, above ell, raise your voice clear and loud as ever for the extension of that be nitieent policy which facilitates the intercourse by com merce between this country and the other peoples of the earth ; for, by that means, you will make to yourselves friends throughout the world—friends who, if any one nation should be vile and villaeons enough to invade your shores, would aid and sympathise with you—but wish offers you the best assurance of having no enemies at all. (Cheers.) Call farther for the extension of this principle, as the means of turning to best account those great qualities of your character, and of your rue, energy , perseverance, and in dustry ; and, above all, gentlemen, remember as guardian. of the poor, as employers of labour, as contributor' to all our burdens, that free trade does not mean only what these who mock the poor and hate the people, and style them rabble, mg it does—the making the loaf a little cheaper and • little larger; but that it is the system by which constant customers are brought to your shores to demand the labour of constantly increasing numbers, and thereby placing the millions here who lire by daily toil, under th e circumatances the mat favourable to their innocence, well-being, and contentment. (Cheers.) Do not then, gentlemen, take the advice of your enemies, and be silent on this subject, but rather make it the constant topic of your discourse, and have it always in your mind, that you may contrast the better the blessings which you now enjoy with the evil that you have suffered, and from which you have lately b en spared—(hear, hear) —and never cease to watch over and guard the blessings which you have acquired, until these who are now arrayed in power against you lay down their arms, and abandon for ever all hope of receiving from theirchief his long-promised word ofoommand, of " Up, Guards,and at them.' (Loud and continued cheerio', in the midst of which the hon. member resumed his seat.) Mr. THORNELY also replied. The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of the Hon. General Assn', M.P. for South Staffordshire, who ac knowledged the compliment in a somewhat lengthy speech. The Hon. C. P. VILLIERS amid be had the privilege of proposing the health of the bet, the foremost, and the firmest friend that their members had bad in the town of Bilaton—one of the stanchest advocates of free trade and religious liberty, and one of the most valuable advocates of liberal principles in the county of Stafford. That gentle man fulfilled aB the duties of a kind &audit:oM citizen, and a most valuable public man. He beg to propose the health of their namable chairman, Mr. Unmask. The toast was drunk with enthusiastic cheering. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks.

AUGUST 2, 1852. DEFRAUDING POOR EMIGRANTS. MANSION-HOUSE. h eassequesea of an application from Capt.:!.ean, the aoraramatt emigration agent, summonses were Paned curly last week to the remitet directors of the " Australian Oold Mining and Emigration Company," formerly held in Cornhlll and Austin Friers, and recently held and broken up in Harp-lane, to attend on Saturday upon the re-exami nation of Montague and Tripe, for having obtained monty under false pretences, and for having conspired to defraud • number of pour emigrants. Captain Lean attended to pro secute, and • Mr. Hudson, a solicitor, attended also upon the part of the complainants, who, in answer to the 41,A-r -atan's observation that it warn never contemplated to put them to expense in the legal proceedings, said, they, as countrymen, ignorant of the London practice, had engaged the assistance of the gentleman, in order that there might be no question ea to the sincerity with which they meant to do justice to themselves. Mr. Owens, a solicitor, at tended for the directors who had been summoned but not one of whom appeared. Mr. Sleigh attended as counsel for Montague, and Mr. Sorrell, solicitor, appeseed for Tripe. Csptain Smith, the reputed secretary to the ' company, was present. Alderman Sir Robert W. Carden presided, and woo occupied upwards of four hours in the investigation, which assumed a deeper interest from the general report that some of the gentlemen wham. names were exhibited in the prospectus were involved in the ugly transactions of the company, and had been engaged in other speculations of disputable respectability. Sir R. W. Cullen said it was his intention. if any diffi culties presented themselves in the progress of the inquiry, to direct the City solicitor to take the case under his super vision, especially es the emigrants could not, without serious expense to themselves, take the necessary measures in • case which might be made complex and perplexing by professional ingenuity. The emigrants should certainly re ceive the most complete protection. Captain Lean said they were so perfectly satisfied with the manner in which the proceedings bad been conducted, that they had given no instructions fur the employment of legal auistauce. They felt that the alderman, with the legal aid immediately at his command, would give the highest satisfaction to the public from the beginning to the termination of the proceedings. Mr. Sleigh not having been prevent at the first examina tion of Montague and Tripe, the depositions of John Junes and James Ooerland, the first of whom had paid money to oat of the prisoners, end the second of whom bad paid money to the other, in consideration of their passage to Australia, were read over, sad the learned gentleman ernes examined them so ingeniously as to require • very active vigilance upon the pan of thine who were anxious for the impartial administration of justice. It ie proper to observe eiatfrened all the this the molt of the previous statements of the witnesses ; but some facts were elieited by questions from the bench, arising from the clear and unshaken testimony of the witnesses. Jones said, when 1 paid the money for the passage on board the Camilla, Tripe and Montague and a fat man were present. I should like exceedingly w see that fat man here. Sir R. W. Carden—You would know his you think ? Joaes—t3h, certainly. He was, I believe, one of the dis cetera. - Sir - 1i: W. Carden—And he saw you pay the 111. Jones—He aid. Sir K. W. Carden—Would you have paid that money if you did not believe you were going to Australia iu the Camilla? _ .. Jones—l would not. Sir R. W. Carden—Were you led by what Montague and Tripe said to you to believe that there was a bona tide company to which that yowl belonged for the voyage? Jones—l did, of course, and I went with Tripe and a Mr. Stevens Woe. one of the .lireetors of whom Tripe spoke as being concerned with the company in that capacity. Tripe also pointed out two other gentlemen as directors, one of whom he stated to be chairman of the company, and he told me that a lord was amongst the gentlemen on the Sir R. W. Carden—l suppme the supposition that there was a nobleman in the concern wu quite enough (or you ? Jones —I certainly thought it wu all right then. Sir It. W. Carden—The report was a groan calumny against that young nobleman. He was totally unacquaintcd with the company or anything connected with it. Did you see any of the directors ? Jones—l saw the man who, when Tripe said I wanted the passage money lowered, said that 31. was too much to take off. Ile was a fat fellow ; and Tripe, Stevens, and I called upon another gentleman who Tripe said was also a director and a very rich man. Sir B. W. Carden—That's just the sort of man you would wish to deal with ? Jones—Exactly. (Laughter.) But we did not see him. Wu, however, saw his son, who said to me when I spoke to him on the subject, " The fact is my d—d fool of a father was, lam sorry to say, one of the company." (Laughter.) That was after I saw Hontague in Whitecroaosueet prison. Mr. °wets said the gentleman in question was in the country, and no doubt his name was lugged into the affair on account of his respectability as well as his absence. Jones—His son knew something about the gentleman's connexion with the company at all events, for he sot only told me that his fool of a father was a director in it, but he said the shares which ware once worth a guinea each were at present to be had for between five shillings and half-a crown. It sou proved that the prisoners had no authority what ever to engage passengers on board the Camilla on the 26th of June or at any time subsequently. Captain Leen said out of a vast number of other cases be would call witnesses upon two other come that day. Samuel Finch said-1 reside at Canterbury-place, Ken sington, and am out t f business new. I was about to pro- ceed to Australia. A friend of mine told me of this com pany as having offices at 63, Cornbill, ann tt, Austin-friars. I applied and received a letter from Tripe by post about the 24th of June on the subject. I saw Tripe . once or twice at Austin-friars with Montague a ft er I rece ived the letter. I first went to that office on the 13th or 14th of June, and saw boards with shipping placards on them before the door. Tripe was there, and I wanted him to go to Mr. John Val iance, of Essex- to receive money on my account to be sent to Australia. , I was going to Sidney, and be told me the company had a vessel going to Port Philip and Sidney, and I was to pay 161. for sly passage. I believe Mr. John Valiance paid 71. 10s. to Tripe. I have him debited with that amount. Two or throe weeks afterwards I saw Trips and Montague. I had gone to the office, thinking I might get out cheaper, and I saw them alib/ together. I said I expected five or six persons were coming ftom the country, and asked them whether they would allow me a COGIIIiOIOII. Tripe then appealed to Montagne, and they said they (the eompany)wonlit allow me 11. a head. _ _ _ - _ The letter, which Tripe at mum admitted to be in his handwriting, stated that dm ship Camilla, which was going to Australia, was fa the West India Docks, and that Mr. Rauh might go to see ha, and give his !pinion of her.

I afterwards went to him as the id of July, and said I called upon him to pay him the Whose, and told him to put down the name of the Wilson Realedy. I paid Tripe 191. 10e. I then asked him to put the name of the oared in the receipt, but be declined to demo, as the charter was not, he said, signed. Ric R. W.

Mips was in Nffbitecrowstrset prison. R. W. Carden : Have you seen a director or mph"- tee of the company Whams: Never. Tripe told us a fortnight ago the names of two of the directors. The prisoner this men tioned the name of the gentleman whom son declared him to be so great a fool as to belong to the company. I per fectly recollect the name. Mr. John Hodson, of High-street, Camden Town, con veyancer, said: I am father to the last witness. I Bret saw Tripe on thirds y fortnight in Harp-lane, at chambers there. My son was with me. We had called at first at Austin friars. I asked Tripe, wham we sow la Harp-lane, for an explanation as to a delay of the vessel in proceeding on the voyage. He said, " I suppose you know that the company is closed r My reply was, "I ant very doubtful if may suck company ever ;misted. It memo that you sad Mon tague are the company." (A laugh.) I had not men Montague at the time, bat I bad beard of his saxes as con meted with the company. Trips said there was a company, and there u ere many respectable people belonging to at, all of whom were responsible for what had been received. I then asked who the directors were. He said be was solos to write down their names for me, and he mentioned one to whom allusion has been made as described by his eon on account of his connexion with the company. He said that gentleman wee • vary wealthy man, and he gave me what he said was his country address. He told me that the gen tleman could be proved to be a director, and that he had constantly been in the habit of attending the hoard meetings. He again peon seed to write down the names of the directors, and assured me that be would send the list to me by pest the same night. He never per formed his promise, however Tripe mentioned to me this day fortnight that he had settled with several of the emi grants fur them to look out for other ships, and ho would pay the money. I told him that if he had the money to pay for the passage of pers ins in oilier vessels he mu.t have the money to return to us. Ile wished me to depend upon other promises, but I said I would not trust him any longer; that there was no use in mincing words about the business, and that it was all a tread and swindle from be ginning to cod. He then said, "No doubt of it. It has hem 0 fraud aid a swindle." (Laughter.) This matter his urset say son altogether. Tripe said to me in speaking upon the occasion, that he did not suppose Montague would have taken such advantage of him, or would have acted in such a manner towards him. I told Tripe that I did not think Montague had any thing to do with the affar, fer when he received this money the latter was in prison. Yea, said Tripe, it's true Montague was in prison, but he managed to get out, and he has now bolted with the " swap," or the " blunt," Ido not know which word ho used. Mr. Sleigh then called the officer in whose custody Mon tague had been brought from the Queen's Bench, to prove that Montague bad never been out of prison since the first nay of his arrest until brought before the Alderman upon the writ of habeas corpus, and submitted that it was quite impoiisible that the unfortunate prisoner could, under such circumstances, have bolted either with the " swag," or the ' " blunt," or anything else. The witness. in answer to a question put by the learned counsel for Montague, through the Alderman, said that prig err had gone to gaol on the morning the last witness had paid his money fur the twinge. Cross-examined for Tripe by Mr. Sorrell—Tripe told me he had paid all the monies he had received over, end he had got vouchers for all. lie mentioned to ine that he had about 1001. nut of his own pocket to pay, and that he would rather pay himself than have the business exposed. Here Sir W. Carden desired that the names of the directors should be called out in court. The names were accordingly called out, but no answer was returned. Mr. Owens said he had seen two of the gentlemen who had i attended some days ago in consequence of the summonses which hail been sent to them in the early peso( the day, but they bad received no summons upon the liresent occa sion, and he could not recommend them to attend the examination, as he considered the whole of the proceedings as regarded them had terminated on the former occasion. The addressee were all wrong, but he would answer for the ready attendaaee of the gentlemen he represented upon any future occasion. . . . Mr. Hodson, solicitor to some of the complainants, here mid he considered it necessary to apply to the Alderman to grant summonses to the rest of the gentlemen named in the prospectus to come forward and answer to the charge of oonspirmy. Sir It. Carden—There can be no other course for gentle men alluded to, as these gentlemen have been this day, to pursue than that of coming forward. It is useless to talk of the authority of a summons in comparison with the stem* impression of the obligation of gentlemen to appear upon hearing that their conduct has been publicly im pugned. I have heard quite enough to induce rue to sum. ion certain parties. Mr. Sleigh said if the Alderman had determined, as had been expressed at the former examination, to commit his client, he would reserve the argument with which all the materials powerfully supplied him, fir an occasion when the subje t would meet with an examination news eerily more strict and scrupulous. He did not seek to get away his Client from any apprehension of the decision of th• jury. On the contrary, be looked with perfect security to their verdict, finding as they would find that be was a "an more sinned against than sinning, the victim rather than the perpetrator of a wrong. lie, however, must en treat the press not to give any precipitate opinion upon the ems of an untried man who, alter all, might prove to be the lupe of others ; but, on the contrary, adhere to the good old English maxim that every man was supposed to be in nocent until he was proved to be guilty. Sir W. Carden then adjourned the further investigation antil Wednesday, whin he would, he said, expect to see the gentlemen whom the numerous complainant' seemed to' soasider to be in some respects identified with the prisoners at the bar. The Alderman again stated that it was his in tention, if there appeared to be any occasion for addi tional assistance in the investigation, to desire the aid of the City solicitor. The prisoners were then remanded. THE PHARMACY ACT AND THE CHEMISTS. On Friday afternoon, a meeting of the chemists and druggists of Manchester was held at the Atheneum, to consider the provisions of the act of parliament for regu lating the profession of pharmaceutical chemists, which was passed into • law just before the expiration of the late session. About fifty persons were present, among whom we noticed one or two medical gentlemen—Mr. Jacob Bell. the late member for St. Albans, and Mr. Macfarlane, of Edinburgh, with Dr. Edwards, chemist, of Liverpool, who attended as a deputati a from the council of the Pharma ceutical Society, to explain the new position of the trade. Mr. Standring, who was requested to occupy the chair, in traduced the business, and stated the provisions of the act. Mr. Bell then addressed th., meeting at much length, stat ing the intentions of the promoters of this new law. If this bill were acted upon generally, it would become almost a matter of necessity, for those who wished to hold a re spectable position in the business, to become members of the Pharmaceutical Society ; and conseqeent/y all the appren tices now in the business who had probably entered it without any very definite ideaof the amount of education they might require, would find it absolutely necessary for them to read and study, to undergo the examination pre viously to being registered. In future the term " phar maceutical chemist " would have a special distinction re cognised by the law. No persons would be admitted to enjoy the privilege of using that term without having pseud the examination of the Pharmaceutical Society, except simply those persona who were in business at the present time, and who had already a certain claim to be recognised. The chemists had no views of en croaching on the business of apothecaries; nothing could be further from their intentions; but they wished to have their own business recog • d as it was on the con tinent; for an important profession conducted by men of science and education. The Pharmaceutical Society would not prevent any one who chose to be merely • chemist and druggist, from felling and dispensing medicine; but the law would prevent such a person calling himself " pharmaceutical chemist." It would be to • young max no hardship, but • real privilege, to be able to go before the examiners, and prove that he had studied and obtained • legal testimony to his being a properly qualified Several questions were asked, in reply to some of wbieh Mr. Bell stated that an apprentice who came forward to pass the examination would be received at pre sent, though he were the apprentice or pupil of a mere drag gist,n • member of the society ; but it was probable that ta et course of a few years, after the dssti'etion be tween druggist and pharmaceutical °Medd should be well understood_ then the examiners would require the appren tice to bring a certificate of peptises tram a phermeneutist. It was not designed to maw the revelatiga seeidealy.—Dr. Edwards and Mr. Maefertene also spoke, sad a enavereation ensued which ended in the sigution of the followiag reso lution: " That it is desirable that the local association esta blished in Manchester should serpents with the Pharma ceutical Society in Lesko. Ilse the purpose of admitting into the Pharmacentierd /sally emit members of the trade . . as are duly qualified."—Thaida having been given to the deputation and to the chairman, the meeting separated.— Monehorier Esarairaw. Sleßlol7B FIRE IN LAMBETH.—Yesterday morning, shortly alter live o'clock, • fire of • very alarming the raster occurred on the premises of Mr. J. Wortley, • hair- ' dresser and perfumer, and Mr. Lawrence, a bookseller and geeenl dealer, No. 75, New-cut. The disooesry was made by Mr . Wenley, who was awakened by an unusual noise in the shop. He immediately jumped out of bed for the pur pose of oicerteining the cause, but the moment he opened his room door be was met by volumes of smoke which nearly prostrated biro. He succeeded, however, in mount ing the stairs sad arousing the other inmates, consisting of six or sews pasews, massipt whom was an old lady be. twain N mid de years of age, named Nicholls, who bad bees beddelem for a considerable period. The whole of the residesis except Mn. Nicholls, at ma sada an attempt to deemed 17 the staircases, but the smoke obliged them to reams, an d having got out of one of the upper windows, they alighted upon a penthouse over the shops, where they doubtlessly would have lost their lives, had it not been for the timely arrival of Mr. Hambletoo, with the engine and firemen from the Waterloo-road brigade depot, by whose scaling ladders they were enabled to de scend, la the Illsentilllo, Police-constable Ireland, No.llB of the L division, who was on duty near the spot, had climbed lip one of the poles in front of the house, and intend several of the rooms, for the purpose of rescuing Mrs. Nicholls. During the brief interval, however, Mee. Woraley had entered her apartment, and having pulled her out of hod, • Mrs. Jackson who resided in the premises, carried her out on her hick. The constable, however, went from room to room, in search of the poor old lady, until becoming almost overpowered with smoke, he was obliged to jump out of window, to avoid su ff ocation. Unfortunately, he fell through a glass skylight, by which he was frightfully cut by the broken glass, and otherwise seriousl., if not fatally, injured A large piece of glass entered one of the lips end lodged in the roof of the month. His knee-cap is also broken, his shoulder dislo cated, and nearly every part of his face is cut with broken `lass. He was at once removed to Guy's Haspital, when he at peewee remains in • very precarious state. There being en abundant supply of water, the fire was at last extinguished, but not until Mr. Worsley's lower premises had been nearly consumed, and three of Mr. Lawrence extensively damaged. The origin of the disaster is enve loped in obscurity. Mr. Woraley was insured in the County Fire-oMcs, and Mr. Lawrence in the Royal Liverpool office. DEFAULT 01 , PUBLIC COLLECTORIL—Within the pat few days two out of the three collector, to the Leeds Water Works Company have beers discovered to be defaul ten. One of them, named Heaton, whose accounts an deficient 2001., has absconded. The other is • defaulter to the extent of 401. The company hold security to the ex tent of 1001. in each case. _ _ _ YACIITINO.—Tho America and Mosquito yachts are entered for prim on both days of the Plymouth regatta —Wednesday and Thursday neat . It is anticipated that a larger fleet of yachts will visit the port on the occasion of this regatta than has been here at any one time for many years previously. TRAFFIC IN ARMY COMMISSIONS. (Plum the (Ailed &Trim Casette.) There are, we have heard, generally about eighteen hundred persons' names on the Commsnder•in-Cbiel'S list fur commissions. Lord Fitzroy Somerset stated as much in his evidence before the select committee on army and ordnance expenditure. To expect that Lord Fitzroy should remember these names, or the particular claims of one-tenth part of the number, were ab.urd. He trusts to his lista and to the recommendations of officers who write to him or attend his levees, and . l names are brought before him with a fair word in their favour, he does not hesitate to select them for commission•. This opens the door to the jobbery carried ou, to the infinite scandal of the florin, Hoards.. That the excellent and honourable Military Secretary may know to what extent this gum on, we unhesitatingly state that there are persons of all classes, in town and elsewhere, putting themselves in communication with the gentle men who prepare young men for the army, offering s for certain sums, to get their tisane brought for ward some months earlier than they could exherauie hope for. No less than four individual+, tutolly un• known to each other, assur d a friend of ours the week before last that they possessed this mysteriou+ power Of course, they were very close as to the manner in which the thing was done ; but one of thnn having demanded three or four hundred pounds to effect a certain oliject, he was roundly asked into whose pocket such a cum would go ? lle ans awed in great confide nee, that he was obliged to bribe certain necessitous general officers, who would wait upon Lord Fitzroy Somerset, and on the strength of their rank and services, solicit the favour of his speedily nominating the youth who was to nay the amount. The others asked much less for what they pinioned to eff,ct —and declined to state how they accomplished the end; but that they had the means they were prepared to prove by reference to certain successful cases—that is to say, cer tain preferential nominations obtained through their moans, at no distant date. DEATH OF SIB J. W. LORING, ADMIR.4L. OF TRH BLUE. Sir John Wentworth Loring, K.C.8., K.C.H. of Pear-tree Howie Southampton, died at Ryder on Thur s day last. Admiral Loring was born Oct. 13, 1773, in Atn-riea, being eon of the late Joshua Loring, Esq., permanent legit theta of the Province of Massachusetts, previously to tho American War of Independence, and grandson of Commo dore Loring, who commanded on the lakes of Ca 111 1 ,141. also previous to that war. lie served from June 1789, to December 1791, on board the Salisbury, 30, hearing the Bag of Vice-Admiral Milhanke, at Newtouadhand, sod afterwards en the home and Mediterranean rations as mid shipman in the Alcide, 74 ; Romney, 50; °metes, 18 ; Confla gration, fire ship; and Victory, 100, Bag-ship of Lord Hood. With this nobleman, at the occupation of Toulon, Mr. Loring served us a voluuteer at Fort Mulgrave, where, on the nigiit of its assault and capture by the repu blican troupe, Dec. 17, 1793, he received a severe wound ly a musket hall just below the knee, which compelled him to proceed to Gibral tar for surgical aid. Rejoining the ictory, he again acted at the reduction of Bastin, having commend of a gunboat, and employed from night till morning in watching the Mole-bead. On the surrender of that place, May, 1794, Mr. Loring was promoted to a lieutenancy in La Fleche, 16, Captain John Gore, being soon after trams leered, at the request of Sir Hyde I'srker, to his Bag-ship, the St. George, 98, by which he had an opportunity of sharing in Hotham's actions of March 14 and Joly 13, 1795. !In the early part of the following year be was serving with the I.IIIIC admiral un board the Britannia, 100 ; and at its close in the West ,Indies on board the Comet tiro-ship. In June, 1798, being in command of the Rattler, 16, he ably co -1 operated with Sir Brett Spencer in superintending the evacuation of the Cargemite Island near St. Domingo. Thuprocured him his removal to the Lark, 18, the hest Teasel of her class on the station. During his command of her Captain Loring secceeded in capturing 8 privateers and 27 merchant vessels, and on 011 C UCL.laioll the Lark bring dismasted in a hurricane, be so re- equip pc:i her with such expedition and in face of so many diffisulties, that Lord Seymour, the new commanderin-chier, net only re turned him public thank., but suecessivey appointed hint toile Abergavvnny, 54, and Siren 32. In March, 1802, he displayed so much coolness in quelling • most dangerous mutiny that had broken out an board the Syrtis that the Admiralty coi7 B rmcd him in post rank by a commis sion, ante-dated to the day prior to the v.nersl promotion which had tak. a place in honour of the peace of that year. After serving in several ether ships, in We, being in the Niobe, 40, Captain Loriug observed on the 28th el March three large French frigates and a corvette standing Out to sea oaf L'Oriente. Notwithstanding the superiority of the enemy, he immediately made sail in pursuit, and in tho course of the night he came up with Le Ne , arque, Ii guns, of which be took possession. On the 20th of Octobe r, 1810, he captured L'Hirondelle, privateer, of 4 guns, and in the course of the following month he received the approbation of the Admiralty for an attack made in company of tho Diana, 38, upon two French 40 gun frigates, the Amason, and Elise, which were driven under the batteries of La Hague, the Eliza being ultimately burnt. Watching the pert of Havre, where the Amazon had made her escape to, lie made prize of Le Loop, privateer, of 16 guns, and towards the close of the same month the Amazon having slipped in the night was forced on shore nee.r Cape Banfieur and destroyed. From March 1816 to October following, when he resigned, Capt. Loring was superintendent of Sheerness ordinary. He was lieut.-governor of the Royal Naval College from Nov. 1819, to his attainment of flag master in January 1837. By the death of Admiral Loring, Vice Admiral Sir P. - Hellen becomes Admiral of the Blue; Sir F. Mason, Vice Admiral of the Red; C. J. Johnston, Vice Admiral of the White ; C. S.
