The British and American Royal Mail Steam-ship Africa. Lott, commander, arrived here to-night direct from New York, having left that port at noon on the 29th ult. She brings 51 parser!gers, 104,000 dole. in specie on freight, and the maaiillss from the United States and Canada. The Africa, in steaming up the Mersey, ran foul of a ship, by which considerable damage was sus tained and great detention in the landing of our newspaper despatches. By this arrival we have four days' later intelli gence than that brought by the American mail steam-ship Arctic on Wednesday last. We have to state that the health of the newly elected Vim-President King had considerably im proved, and that great hopes are now entertained of his reeovery. In Congress nothing of interest had transpired, it having been arranged on the adjournment that no business of importance should be entertained till after the close of the year, the last week of which is usually kept as holidays. By the Africa we have news from Cali fornia to the Ist Dec., conveyed by the American steam-ship Uncle Sam. She reports that there was then on the way to the United States specie to the extent of nearly three millions in gold dust. The news from the mines continue to be very fa vourable. The rebuilding of the lately-burned por tion of the cities was progressing very fast; busi ness was good, bat produce and othcr'articles of im ports commanded high prices. Intelligence from the Sandwich Islands to the 6th of November bad also reached New York by the same reset. The news is, however, unimportant. From the West lathes we have also news via New York. From Jamaica the dates are to the 22nd of December. The island is reported more healthy, and business unchanged. From Barbadoes we learn that the yellow fever is very prevalent, but business fair. In taking a hasty glance over the papers brought by this steamer, we do not find any other items of interest to communicate except the following : COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Business generally is reported to be very active. Money bad been easier, and was abundant, and readily obtained fee all business purpose. Stocut were in good demand.

The Cenda's news from L.verpool, of the 10th of December, wisith reported a decline of id. to I. had greatly depressed the markets, and prices had declined nearly upon all descriptions. Themarket en the departure of the Africa was very fiat, and priors had still • downward Manny. The Ana's news of the 18th would probably improve its character, as she took oat account of a rise of id. per lb. on cotton. BLEADSTIIIIII.—A very active business has been done, both in the United States and Canada, in flour, wheat, ladies corn, red Indian meal, in consequesce of the ad liaised pries, and active markets in England, reports of which arrived out by the Canada, from Liverpool, of Deo. 11, The transactions have been large, except in flour, at advanced prices ter export and speculation. It is stated that three firms at Rochester hold over 100,000 barrels of flour, upon which ss. per barrel will be netted in the recent rise of prices.

The mails would leave Liverpool for London on Monday morning at 4 o'clock, for mid-day delivery ; and those for the continent would cross the Channel at Dover on Monday night RESPITE OP TIIE CONVICT BARBOUR.—A special seisesser was sent front the Secretary of State's office, Whitehall, on Friday el.:ming, to York, bearing a week's respite for James sarbouT who was under sentence of death for the murder of Robinson, the hawker. The exe cution of harbour had been tined for Saturday, the Bth inst. Another messenger was lent off last night. This se spite for a went only is not the result of any doubt the propriety of the conviction, according to the strong legal evidence produced. It was granted solely on account of the very pressing r,licitations that were urged nt the last moment, and promises of disclosures that it would be diffi cult entirely to deny. The authorities of York Castle, however, are instructed to intimate to the wretched culprit, Mathis final chaste of having his life spared must still de pend upon the production of this newly-promised testimony, and that as far u the evidence already produced goes, there :I, se reason fur interfering with the due course of the law.- 06server.

Cochin Chinas abound, and some of the male birds are of extraordinary height, the hens are in proportion, chiefly of the " buff " and white species. There are also some fine specimens of the domestic Dorking, the spangled Hamburg, Poland ruffs, bantams, and other fancy species, and several pens of magnificent turkeys, geese, ducks, Ike. In the pigeon classes there are some pens of Gouts Victoria pigeons, never before exhibited in this coun try. These pigeons ere from one of ;the large islands in the Indian Archipelago, and have a species of top knot, spring ing out of the head, somewhat similar to the feathers of a peacock's tail. In the flying tumbler class there is an ex traordinary pen of six pied rollers, feather legged. The kind is not generally known, but the birds are remarkable for the height of their flying. The owner has a flight of 40, and they keep on the wing tight hours without once settling. Their roiling propensity is very peculiar; some of them will roll 100 yards, and they do it so cleverly as to re semble a ball with a small hole in the middle. The other specimens are equally curious. The judges will make their awards to-day, and the private view will take place in the evening. The prizes to be awarded, although trivial in each of the classes, the highest not exceeding three guineas and the lowest in some of the classes flpe shillings, amount to 'event hundred pounds in the aggregate of the 61 classes, into which the poultry is divided. There arc entries in the poultry classes made fur 708 pens, consistk g io most in stances of a cock and three hens in each pen, thus makieg in the aggregate something like 2,800 birds in the pigeoa cisme. THE Loss OF THE VICTORIA STEAM SHIT, OF Hera.—An inquiry is now proceeding b fore Captain Beechey, R.N., and Captain Welker, U.N., of the naval department of the Boani of Trade, at the offices of that department, at Whitehall, relative to the loss of the Vic toria, Hull steamer, which was wrecked some weeks since near Gothenburg, and was attended by a melan choly loss of life. Some delay has been experienced in procuring the attendance of the crew of the ship so as to' give evidence, and es yet the captain has not been exa mined, he not having returned from Gothenburg. We believe the evidence, or ports of it, will be made public when the investigation may be said to have been brought lon tenaioatioa. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING. JANUARY 10,, 1853. OF AN ENGINE BOILER. ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY AT WALWORTR. An accident of a very alarming description, ~.._ which produced the utmost consternation in the neighbour hood in which it occurred, took place on Friday night on the Bristol and Birmingham branch of the Midland Rail way, at about two and a half miles from the terminus in the first-named city. The accident was of an unusual de scription, and happily of rare occurrence, being the ex plosion of a locomotive boiler ; and the first information of Its having taken place reached Bristol through gems set lien from Kingwood, in a valley adjacent to whisk 111 OF mined. They described it as having been of • eery Mr =endow kind, accompanied by a noise like %bond= and shaking the cottages to such a degree, that, until some in vestigation had been made, the impression Almost univer sally prevailed Among the cottager' that they had ex penenced the shuck of =earthquake. The following correct particulars of the accident are derived from information given by persons io the neighbonrhood,as well as by Mr. Dyke, the intelligent superintendent of the company, owing to whole exertions any impediment to the traffic, beyond a few minutes' detention of the down express (to ascertain by personal inspection that the line had been thoroughly cleared), was prevented. The accident occurred to a powerful engine, No. 363, which was employed in driving the up goods train. This train, which starts from the ter minus in Temple Meads at 8 o'clock, happened on the evening in question to be unusually light, carrying but little meree lama 70 tons of goods and • few pickle trucks, which Inn empty. There was no delay in the starting, and tate engine in question was preceded by another loco made% Iha 310. Soon after leaving the city, and upon the ascent of an incline, the rails were found to be an I greasy a state that the wheels did not bite sufficiently to make progress. After • little whie it came to a stand still, upon which the engine driver sig =Bed the guard to put on the brakes, so as to prevent the 11th ity of the train running back into the station. This 11 e il earcely been done, when the boiler of the second emplae No. 363 exploded with terrific violence, shattering everything connected with it to attoms, and falling in frog menu in the fields lying en the right and left of the rail way. The force of the explosion must have been very great, as large pieces of inn and brass were picked up a long way off from the scene of the occurrence. The escape of the engineer, Henry Barnes, without injury, was quite marvellous, nor must the fact of the stoker, Henry Evans, having only received a few severe contusions, be deemed less extraordinary. Both men ewe their !MUMS with their lives ti their carefulness, and their strict attention to the duties prescribed for them. It would appear that the I drivers of goods-train engines are required to take with them upon their tenders some pieces of elm timber called " spnge," with which, when the rails are in a greasy state, and impediments to onward progress arise—as was the case on Friday night—they assist the breaks by forcing the sprigs between the tender wheels, and checking any ten dency to backward revolution. Upon finding the train at a standstill, the engineer and stoker each seized • sprig, red jumped off the engine for this purpose, and they bill just got alongside of the tender when the explo sim of the boiler took place. Had they remained on the asks, they must both of them have been inevitably blown , pima. The superintendent, Mr. Dyke, states that he is elegreaser at a loss to account fur the cceident. He thinks IS Imprible that it was occasioned by any deficiency of mow Is the boiler, as, there having been no delay in des patidng the train, which sometimes occurs, there had been we wasteful expenditure of steam; and, as regards any dc let of the boiler itself, he is puzzled by the fact, that the engine had very recently undergone a thorough examine tion and complete repair. It is a singular circumstance that the first engine, No. 369, did not receive the slightest injury; nor was the tender of the exploded engine at all hurt. The Stoker, Henry Evans, was, as a prudential measure, at once conveyed to the Bristol Royal Infirmary, but the surgeons of that institution do not consider that any serious consequences will result from his hurts. On Saturday the neighbourhood of Walworth was thrown into the greatest excitement is consequence of a re port that a most daring and extensive robbery had been committed on the premises of Mr.ThomasPrince,propriethr of the fancy , _ W repository, 38, Beckford-row, near the Camber well-gate, alworth-road. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that the report was unfortunately too well founded, and that Mr. Prince had been plundered of jewellery, various meld and silver article', as also many of a fancy description wanted in gold and silver, to the amount of about 1,0001. The mode in which this burglary was effected shows that bt ingenuity of design, carefully matured and systematic plans, and the skill with which it was executed, it fairly rivals those recently committed at Mr. Jones's, the watch maker of the Strand, and Messrs. Deane and Co.'s, King William-street. About three o'clock on Saturday morning, a point, about five doors off, occapied by Mr. Thomas Peacock, builder, was selected by the burglars. To this house a fore-court is attached, and the houses on either side have shops erected thereon, thus forming a deep recess, only separated from the highway by a dwarf gate. Against the wall, towards Mr. Prince's premises, is a pile of planks, boards, &c., which, from the footm arks thereon, appears to have been the mode by which the thieves reached the fiat roof of the adjoining shop, thence passing over four others of a similar description, and immediately contiguous to the windows of several occupied sleeping-rooms, including that of Mr. Prince. Over the shop of the latter is a ridge skylight, from the gable end of which two squares of glass were dexterously abstracted, and a bar removed. A very large gimlet was then screwed into part of the skylight frame, trom which a rope was thrown into the shop beneath, into which by such means, it would seem, the depredators descended. They next proceeded to the shop window, and havinglbroken open several glass show cases, stripped them of their contents, consisting dal) dosen of silver pencil-cases (chiefly Mordan's patent) ; a quantity of Albert, and other gold chains, silver and other card cases, silver butter and fruit knives; as also numerous gold and jewelled brooches, dia mond, pearl, and other rings, pins, dtc., to an amount which is at present only known to exceed 1,0001. With this valu able booty, by the aid of Mr. Prince's shop-steps, the her glare repassed through the aperture they had made iu the skylight, though, from the trepidation in which they appear to have fled, it appears they had been disturbed, as they not only left behind them several valuableartieles strewed about the shop, boa outpost to abstract the contents of a drawer close to the caws, in which were a number of gold watches, and a considerable sum in gold and silver, and also left behind them their dark lantern, matches, rope, gimlet, a chisel, and clasp-knife, as well as on the roof an old quaint looking umbrella, the handle mounted with gold. As a further proof of the haste in which the retreat was effected, one of the thieves, from the noise which was heard and the displacement of some of the boards, must have fallen down the pile of timber at Mr. Peacock's before reaching the street. Information of this depredation having been for warded to the police, three detective officers of the 1) divi sion repaired to the spot, and are actively engaged in pursuit of the delinquents. EXECUTION OF HENRY HORLER FOR THE MURDER OF HIS WlFE.—(Tuts DAT.) This morning the extreme penalty of the law was carried into effect on the person of Henry Holier ' aged 2.1 year, who was convicted at the Central Criminal Court at the last December sessions, for the wilful murder of his wife. Precisely at eight o'clock the mournful procession as cended the gallows. The convict did nut appear the least dis composed beyond a slight paleness. His step fault. red for a moment at the foot of the ladder, but he looked round, and, seaming to summon resolution, be ascended with a firm step, and stood upon the drop. After standing for a moment before the rope was adjusted be looked up at the beam with apparent curiosity, and then upon the people assembled. He submitted to the operatioas of the executioner without emotion, and after a few words with the rev. ordinary the signal was given, and the drop fell. The unfortunate man struggled violently for a few moments, but these movements soon ceased, and gave way to the relaxation of death. After banging for nearly an hoar the body was cut down, and removed to the interior of the prison, where it was a terwanls interred in the space allotted for those who have suffered by the hands of the public executioner. We have been informed by the Sheriffs that as soon as the convict became aware that all hope of life was gone, he assumed a greater degree of firmness than he has before ex hibited. He listened with serious attention to the consola tion of the reverend ordiaary, and repeatedly expressed his sincere penitence for the enormous crime he has c committed. The crowd assembled upon the occasion was not nearly so great as is usual, and it was gratifying to observe that there were fewer females than is usual upon such occasions. As soon as the body was removed, the workmen in waiting proceeded to take down the scafford, and in a very short time all traces of the morning's tragedy had THE MURDER AT CARDIFF. (most OUR OWN CARDIFF, Flimsy, The inquest on the body of Timothy Harrington whom brutal murder at the docks at Cardiff was reported in last Monday's Karroo, has been concluded. Only two additional witnesses were examined. Policeman George James deposed that on the night of the Nth December he was on duty at the Bute Docks, when just before midnight he heard a cry as of some person in pain. lie proceeded to the spot, and found a man on his bands and knees, who proved to be the deceased. No rose was near him. Witness asked what was the matter, when the man answered "a Greek has stabbed me;" and he added that the Greek had gone on board his vessel. The deceased almost immediately afterwards fell on his back, and witness holding down his light found a peol of blood , near him. He immediately went in search of a ss istance, and brought back two other policemen named Down end Rees, who helped to carry the man to the hospital, where be died as already reported. Mrs. Ann Harry, wife of the landlord of the Duke of Wellington public-house, deposed that the deceased had been in the habit of frequenting her house, and that he was there on the night of the murder. He was sober, and left at 20 minutes to 11, saying he was going home. He only had a quart of beer at her house. Superintendent Stockdale said nothing had been found on the deceased, and also intimated that he had no further evi dence to offer at present, but he believed the perpetrator of the 'murder ..oula be disenvorotl. The Coroner, addressing the ism, thought he need not trouble them to meet again. It was clear that a murder had been committed by some person or persons, and their verdict should be to that effect. The matter would come now before the magistrates. The jury accordingly returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown," and were dismissed. But although no further evidence was adduced before the coroner, the facts which have sinee transpired add to the belief that the real murderer bas been discovered. After the inquest, the two prisoners (Gabriel Gibson, the Swede, and Richard Keenan, the Irishmen) were taken before the magistrates, and again remanded. These two men have been identified beyond question as the two men in whose company the deceased was at eleven o'clock at night. The prisoners were on Thursday placed in the gaol yard with other prisoners, and were picked out by one or two wit nesses as the men seen in the deceased's company shortly before the murder. The two prisoners, immediately after the cries of " Murder " were heard, joined their ship, lying at the docks, and, when questioned afterwards, denied that they had heard any noise ; nor could they give a satisfac tory account of their proceedings on the night in question. DEPARTURE OF THE AMERICAN MAILS .—On Sa turday, at noon, the British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Europa Neil Shannon commander, sai l ed from the Mersey for Halifax and Boston, with the usual United States and Canadian mails-40 passengers, and a large and valuable cargo of general merchandise on board.

ABORTIVI RAILWAY COMPANIES.—Of the 157 railway companies that lodged plans and sections in No ' vember, 30 are not able to proceed this session, in cense (Pence of not having also lodged the necessary deposits with the Accountant-Geaeral, and other canoes.

THE QUART AND PINT BOTTLE QUESTION.—OR Saturday, at the Brentford Petty Sessions, William Bayliss, laadlord of the Railway Hotel, at Twickenham, appeared to answer an information laid by the Inspector of Weights and Measures for selling a certain quantity of beer in quart and pint bottles which were not of the imperial mea sure. Evidence was given of the purchase at the deteud ant's hotel of bottles of the usual else, commonly called quart and pint bottle , , and it was alleged that the law had been infringed by reason of these bottles not bolding full quarts and pints. The bench said, as hundreds of people with their eyes wide open were in the habit of purchasing these bottles, well knowing they did not contain the full measure, they should not convict the defendant. Tho agents of the brewers who supplied the publicans were the parties in fault it' any. and therefore the present informa tion must be dismissed. THE BTOURBRIDGE BANK.—IN RE RUFFORD AND WaLoon.—A dividend meeting was hold at the Birming ham District Court of Bankruptcy on Saturday, when ladditional debts were proved to the amount of 4,3001., and claims tendered for 18,901. The discussion and adjudica tion of the latter were postponed until the 7th of February, the day fixed for a dividend on the separate estate of Mr. Wragge. The Stourbridge concern has already paid ls. 6d. in the pound, and the next dividend is expected to be gd. THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT OXFORD.—The sufferers injured by the late dreadful accident are pmeress ing favourably. The report at the Radcliffe Infirmary this maiming (Sunday) is that they were all going on well—that although Richard Faulkner, sen., who, it will be remem bered received so severe a concussion of the brain, has not yet spoken, he has evinced signs of returning coneeicusnees. William Jones, horse dealer, of Doncaster, who is lying at the Anchor, Heyfteld's-huff, and was so seriously in jured about the head and body, is also going on well. Amangit the passengers injured was a Mr. Daniel Pitt, • cattle dealer and matter, who was returning from Chelten ham, where he had made a large purchase of cattle, and was on his way home to Northampton ; his name has, we believe, not been noticed in any of the newspapers. He is very much injured, his face is severely lacerated, head bruised, and hip bone injured. lie was taken to the Chequers Inn, High-street, and after remaining there until Wednesday afternoon, he was removed to Northampton. The remains of Julia Norman, and the man unknown, were buried at St. Paul's Cemetry on Saturday. The cutting alongside where the accident occurred has been 'tanked, for thu purpose of pumping it dry, but owing to the great rise of water within the last few da:As, they have net been able to accomplish it. EXECUTION AT YORK. Alfred Waddington, who was condemned at the late winter gaol delivery, by Mr. Justice Talfourd, for mur der at Sheffield, underwent the extreme penalty of the law on Saturday, at twelve o'clock, at the usual place of execu tion adjoining York Castle. The unfortunate culprit passed most of Friday night in Pr wee, and before he left the condemned cell he took an affecti..nate leave of toe pinsone wt., Lea !men plavad %hero to attend upon the criminals, as is usually the ease. The Rev. T. Sutton, both late on Friday night and Saturday forenoon, attended upon Waddington, and, shortly before noon, William Gray, Esq., under sheriff, proceeded to the castle to demand the body in the usual form. The process of pinioning, ac., took place, and, as the castle clock struck twelve, the procession moved towards the scaffold, Wad dington walking with a firm step. After Waddington had spent a few moments in earnest supplication (in which he was audibly heard to exclaim " Lord receive my soul !") the executioner proceeded with his painful duty. The bolt was then drawn, and the culprit's sufferings appeared to le very slight. The number of spectators was very large, amounting to from 8,000 to 10,000, and they con ducted themselves in a very orderly and becoming manner. The body, after hanging the usual time, was buried within the precincts of the prison. ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. —Oa Saturday afternoon Mr. Baker held ea inquest at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Waterloo-town, Bethnal green, on the body of Mr. Richard Pratt, aged 83, the land lord, who died from injuries received in consequence of leaving the carriage of attain in the Eastern Counties Rail way while on its progress to the terminus, Shoreditch.— Mena Bidsop, No. 21, Mope-street, Bethnal-green, a mar dedereneee.said that on the 13th of September, she was in murky attached to a train, in which also was the de emed, and which left Edmonton station about tea o'olo4 at night, to proceed to the terminus of the Eastern Counties line at Shorediteh. Deceased, with some of her friends, had been to Edmonton fair, and were on their return home. When the train wus arriving at the Mile-end station, de ceased, who was wider the influence of liquor, said that he would get out. He passed witness. Al most immediately after she heard some one say that a man's hat had gone out of the door. She could not see what occurred after, as there was no light; but she was informed that the deceased had opened the door of the carriage and had gone out. By the coroner—Had there been a light in the carriage the deceased might have been prevented leaving the carriage. Deceased said he wanted to leave, as he was near his home. Some of the jury stated that the deceased was taken to the London Hospital after the accident, where he remained some days in a state of insensibility. Mr. Moore, surgeon, Bethnal-green-road, stated that he saw deceased after leaving the hospital. He found that his jaw had been fractured, and that several of his flagon were also dislocated and fractured. The flesh was torn off the hip* as if he had been dragged along the line. He thought an abscess was formed in the brain, which was the effect of the in cries . The coroner remarked that when accidents were so frequent on railways they ought to have a full inquiry into the case. They ought to have further evi dence, and be should adjourn the ease for that purpose. DISTRESSING CASE OP DROWNING.—Among the passengers on board the Star, Gravesend steamer, which left Blackwell at half-past 12 on Saturday, was a young man, accompanied by his sister, who had seated themselves near the fore gangway on the starboard side, end appeared to pass their time pleasantly in convey-atioo, until the steamer got into Long Reach, and here, as her course was changed, the paddle-box partly shut out from view a large ship towing down the river, and the young man net being able to see what he desired, leaned over the bulwark; while in this position, and directing the attention of his sister by pointing at the ship, he fell overboard, and never rose again above water. The captain Immediately stopped the steamer, had the boat lowered, and life-buoys thrown overboard, and did all in his power, but it was of no avail, and reluctantly had to panne his voyage. From the pose fellow's hat now and then appearing above water, emu of the passengers thought the boat would save him, imagining that he must be there, but only the hat was picked up. Ilia sister for a time appeared almost speechless, but after a time her grief found vent, and she remained on board the Star until its return to Blackwell in the evening, receiving every attention from the stewardess, who accompanied her to her home in the Borough in a cab, as her brother had their joint stock of money on him. The ship he was pointing out was the one in which he would have sailed to-day, and their object in going down the river was to go on board of her. DEATH Or MR. EDWARD SEGUlN.—lntelligenco has been received of the death of Mr. Edward Seguin, at New York. This piing vocalist was one of the earliest pupils of the Royal Academy of Music in Hanover square, where he distinguished himself very considerably.' Ile made his d,:bitt at her Majesty's Theatre in Ciinarosa's opera of "II Matrimonio Segreto," in which, even by the side of Lablaehe, his voice and style created for him not only a highly flattering reception, but also led to a call at the close of the opera. Subsequently his services were re tained by Mr Bunn for Drury-laue, where he again distin guished himself in " La Sonnambula," " Gustavus," and many other operas, in which be played in conjunction with Madame Malibran. Mr. Bunn's operatic experiments at this period did not receive much encouragement, and as ! favourable overtures were made to Mr. Seguin for himself and his wife (formerly Miss Childe, a pupil of the Royal Academy of Music) from America, they left ab ait fourteen years since. The success of Mr. and Mrs. Seguin during their sojourn in America was highly satisfactory, the widow, with four children, being left in very coinfAtable circum ! stances. ~+: I r. •-~ ~~ ,ire _ _ _L in s i ti t c y h ul aii ihi i n a ren diridu t a n l f DINNER TO THE AMERICAN MINISTER AT yet do and semi them hark to the United States , each is a t h he by me the han adv i e , MANCHESTER. gainer, and the prosperity of the one would be interierell as t the r o ther .
