The fine witness was Thole Shed, fishmonger ' of Bow. anent, Covenarden, who deposed : The deceased, Thu. Shed, is my child. He was all-boy en board the Cricket which situation he bad belsethre• weeks. He had been is the Ant since Cnristmas. He seemed perfectly satisfied with his employ. I got him removed nom the Ant, because thought he was not well treated by the crew. Jamie Hocken, of 23, Maddox-street, Hanover-equare, tailor, deposed: About 25 minutes past 9on Friday morn ing, I went on board the Cricket, at the Fox-under-the-Hill pier. I toil a seat in the stem pert of the boat, net &rhea the paddle-box. I was rather surprised that the boat was so long in starting. There were more than 200 persons en board the vessel; nearly 100 in the aft part of the beat. In about the minutes I felt a trifling quiver, and then a sudden explosion took place. The whole seemed to fly into the air in a thousand pieces, taking the direction of the stern part of the boat. The whole of the deck was carried away; the scat on which I sat went com pletely from under me. I lost my hat and a parcel, and was braised in my arm and thigh. For a time I was blinded by the steam, which seemed to strike me in the face. When the noise and steam had subsided I looked round, and saw the vessel a total wreck; many were clinging to her sides. Afterwards the Echo, J think, came alongside, and took the. passengers off. I noticed particularly a lady and an elderly gentleman, who was crying cut that his leg was broken. Afterwards I assisted in getting a man out of the wreck, who was bleeding at the nose and from the shoulder; he was not one of the deceased. At that time, no one was aboard but myself, at least not in the back part of the vemel. Before the explosion, I saw neither ceptein nor engineers on board. I supposed the delay arose from waiting for the captain. I was in the habit ef going by that boat, and thus know that she stayed longer at the pier than usual. lam quite certain she was not aground; for, after the explosion, the stern-part sank at least 18 inches. I never before saw any thing wrong in the bat, or is either of the others. I have gene by them all. I have often stood to admire the action of the engines. Before I Mt the boat some partite, evidently connected with the boat, came down to inquire jet° the cense of the explosion. I cannot be certain that the captain was not in one of the cabins; hut he was not in his usual place, on the top of the paddle-box. Archbald Henry Hamilton, of 6, Francis-street, Water loo-road, reporter : I went on hoard the Cricket on Friday morning last, about 23 mitt. past nine, at the Fox pier. In about ten mintitee, as I was standing near the windlass, I felt a kind of oscillation ' • suddenly I was thrown down and I heard the explosion. The boat was not aground. The captain wee not on board. I know him by sight, and I afterwards heard him say to Mr. Gallaty, the superintendent of the pier, " How long had I been on shore do you think?" I saw neither engineer nor stoker. I did not look into the engine-room. I did not we any of the deceased taken out. There were from 120 to 140 persons on board. The deck was not overcrowded where I stood, and very few there were hurt. I think the last who( uis mistaken in his esti mate of the number. The CORUNZIL said he conceived this evidence would be sufficient as to the fact of the • eel:ilea:me He would now examine witnesses as to the finding of the bodies. George &hereon, of 13,, George-street, Adelphi, fisher *an I saw and heard this explosion from my own door. I immediately ran down to reuder what assistance I could. I knew Shed, the call-boy. He was lying in the boat's bottom, in the aft-satin. He was almost covered with wood and water. With the help of the captain, Edward Martin, I conveyed him into the pay office, and afterwards to the hospital. He was alive when I left him, but insensible. I know the engineer well; never heard him say anything about this engine. I also assisted in remo sing an elderly gentleman whose leg was broken. I was not two minutes in reaching the boat after the explosion, and the captain was then there. Several passengers were then in the fore part of the boat tuiog to escape as well as they could.—By Chambers: The boy might have been thrown front the deck, and have fallen into the cabin where I found him. The deck was all broken up and completely destroyed. Here an application was made by the witness Noble to be allowed to inspect the remains of the boat. The coroner said he had 110 power to give any order, as the boat was now in the charge of the police.—Mr. Chambers said that every facility would be given, al.. far es the company was concerned. Some doubt was expressed as to whether the police ought to allow an inspection of the boat at the instance of the pro prietors ; but it was explained that this would not he done sinless the coroner sanctioned the order. Several of the jury expressed a wish to see the boat; and Mr. Chambers, on the part of the proprietors, undertook that an opportu nity should be afforded. Mr. G. M. Young, house - surgeon to the Charing-clogs Hospital, deposed : The deceased, Shed, was received into the hospital about half-past nine on Friday morning. He wee in a state of collapse. There was a flesh wound on the left cheek, and a small cut on the top of the head. From the symptoms, I infer that his skull had been fractured ; but owing to the extravasated blood, this was not discoverable afterward.. He never rallied, but died between two and three the same day. The injury to the head was undoubt edly the cause of death ; but I have not made a poet *torten examination. There were bruises all over the body. The Conoxeit directed that a post mortem examination should be made (the father of the boy consenting); and mid that he was surprised that it had not already been done, as a matter of course. Mr. Young cant's:kind : George Shut* was brought to the hospital about ten the same morning. He was dead. There was an extensive wound on the right side of the head. He had been immersed in the water, and I conceived drowning to be the cause or his death, not thinking the wound auffie tient to account for it. I could not speak positively without *post mortem examination. Edward Maddox, of Queen-strut, Bleckfriars, coal-porter. —I was working on a wharf, about 60 yards from the spot, when the explosion took place. Seeing the passengers jump ing overboard, I ran into the water, and brought out one person with his mouth injured. The next was a person who was dead, but I did not know him •, be appeared like • cos termonger. He was takes to the Fox. Afterwards in dragging in the Admiralty boat I found another body, that of a gentlemanly looking man, who had a watch and 40s in his pocket. Police-constable Henry Rogers, 75 F.—l saw the explo sion from Hungerford-wharf, and directly ran to render assistance. I first misted the engineer on shore ; he com plained of being shook, but not hurt. I then maw the call -boy and two other persona taken out. Those spoken to by the last witness are Littleton and Blunt. The engineer, whom I assisted on shore, was black in the face, apparently from the effect of the explosion. Wm. Chapple, waterman, of Caroline•street.—Between 9 and 10 on Friday morning, I saw the explosion from Somer set-house causeway. I and others got a boat manned, and felt about with our staffs. We found Littleton near the head of the steamer, in about four feet water. He was taken to the pay-office, where the doctor examined him, and pronounced him dead. When I went beck to the boat, about half an hour after, we found the body of Blunt. I produce the property which was found upon him. Wm. Chapman, of Hungerford-market, greengrocer, de scribed the finding of another body—that of Shute. John Silk, of the Mint, deal porter, proved the finding of the body of Buckley, on Saturday morning, near to Waterloo- bridge. He was put in a shell, and conveyed to St. John's Church, Waterloo-road. His right thigh was broken, his forehead was scalded, and there was an injury on the nose.— The Coroner here stated that Mr. Carter, the coroner for Surrey, had applied to him to receive the body, which he bad =seated to do, with the view to save trouble and ex. pease elsewhere.—Joha Watson, porter at the St. Martin's Workhouse, gave evidence of the body . being received there on Sunday night. lir. J. N. Bainbridge, surgeon to the workhouse, deposed: The bodies of Littleton and Blunt were brought hire on Fri day morning. I saw them soon after. I examined the bodies externally. There was no mark of violence eating of Blunt, except a slight abrasion of skin on the nese. Illeibu him toll have been drowned the appearances were each as usually attend drowning—as a suffused state of the emante mace, blackened lips, and a slight froth at the moo& Lit tleton bad a considerable wound on the right tamp* ell inch and a half long and deep. There were also atendeas of the akin on the back and arms. Without a poet amerteas exami nation, I could not 'ay whether he had died teem drowning or from the wounds. Buckley's right thigh is hastaired, and this must have been done before death, from the peados et the muscles. There is a bruise and 101111011 etisaWits oa the forehead, and considerable eitravasation of blood umbe l the scalp. In his ease, also, the canoe of death is enmesh, I and can only be ascertained by a post ~rim examinaticia. Mr. Chambers here mentioned, for the information of the coroner and the jury, that there were present the captain, the engineer, the stoker, and the superintendent, any or all of whom were ready to give evidence . — The coroner said it would be better, before hearing their evidence, to have the statement of some scientific men after examining the boat : and he would take care that such examination was made before their next sitting.—A juror asked if it was not proba ble that an examination would be directed by the Secretary of State ?—The Coroner said he bad no knowledge on that subject, but he should pursue his own investigatioa. That this might be made complete, he thought an adjournment for a week would be necessary. After a conversation amongst theiltrow, the inquiry was adjourned until Monday text, at Ileac& The Coroner then made some inquiry se to the eossedy of the beak which was stated to be in dos drop of *slims Pslis 4 a—iir.

PANCRAS. —Last evening a large influential meeting of the rate-payers of the parish of 8 t Pancras took place at the Victoria Tavern, Ilurnington-pad, for the purpose of con sidering the increased poor-nte,of 3d. in the pound, with a view to extra buildings in the workhouse for male paupers. Mr. Dyke was at 8 o'clock called to the chair, and having briefly explained the object of the Atoning, Mr. Rees pro iiird the following resolution :—. 'That the rate-payers of St. Pancras, ever willing to grant relief* the deserving and necessitous poor., cannot but view with alarm the proposed enormous increase in the rates, amounting to 2.5 per cent,. besides the last advance of Id. This, coupled with the very large outlay already, and now about to be, in toned in erecting new vestry rooms, without any real cause, and now the proposed enlargement of the workhouse, thereby perpetuating the worst feature in the new poor-law bill, instead of granting moderate relief out of doors to the aged and infirm poor, merits the strongest condemnation of the rate-payen." Mr. Mortimer Timpaon seconded the resolution.— r. Boulting moved as an amend ment, " That this meeting is of opinion that the increase of the poor receiving relief in and out of the workhouse shown to this meeting is a sufficient reason to justify the proposed increase of threepence in the pound for the relief of the poor." Mr. Douglas seconded the amendment, and observed that such was the state of the workhouse from the vast in crease of pearlier's, that it was likely they would have the rate as high as Is. 64. in the pound. (Loud cries of "Giro more out door relief.") kleßoss at great length condemned the system pursued by the direction of the poor in applying the workhouse test to every applicant for relief, and thus breaking up their little homes and making them permanent paupers, when the admiuistration of a little out-door relief, judienoosly applied, would prevent any necessity for enlarging the workhouse. He (Mr. Russ) had seen in the public prints the statistics put forward by 1 Mr. Churchwarden Wagstaff, proving that the system of stopping out-door relief wu the muss of the increase of pauperism, end he considered Mr. Wagstaff quite as good an authority as Mr. Douglas.—After a long discussion the question was put from the chair when about 300 hands were held up for the original motion, and only 6, amidst loud laughter, in favour of the amendment. It was further resolved to present the resolution, numerously signed, to the vestry at their next meeting, to prevent the confirmation of the rate; end thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting separated at a late hour. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ORPHAN ASYLUM.—The half-yearly meeting of this institution took place yesterday at the London Tavern. The business was of a routine cha racter. A proposition for carrying on votes of unsucensful candidates for three elections, as well as the report, was adopted. The Wowing is an abstract of the report : After congratulating the eubecrib as on the somewhat improved 1 condition of the institution in companion with former years, it expressed regret that it was not as effi cient • charity as it was originally intended to be. An outstanding debt of 3011. 19s. 6d. hail been liquidated by the appropriation of the available funded property of the asylum. It had been, however, replaced by • donation of 6001. bequeathed by . the late Thos. Ward, Esq. It was intended by the committee to make a special application to the bankers and merchants of the metropolis to aid in increasing the resources of the charity, so that that donation should be applied agreeably to the design of the donor. This application, however, is to be kept in abeyance for the present, in consequence of the great mercantile and commercial depression. The committee had been enabled in spite of the difficulties they have had to encounter to extend the benefits of the charity to three girls end nine boys, making the number on the list 100, all orphans of British seamen. With a view to meeting the increased expense attendant on this step, each life member is urged to endeavour to obtain two 1 additional life subscriber,, and each subscriber of 11. Is. three or four annual subscribers. At the last annual dinner of the institution, in March last, the Earl of Auckland, who presided, enroll d his name as a vice-president of the society, and the sum of 1,0361 3s. Bd. was sub scribed on the occasion, in which was included 231. from the chairman ; 1001. from the corporation of the Trinity House ; and 601. from the East India Company. A sermon was preached on the 28th of April, at Christ Church, New/rate street, before the Lord Mayor and sheriffs, by the chaplain of the asylum, and 241. Ilis. 3d. was collected. Through t munificence of two gentlemen, the nucleus of a bas fund has been formed, with a view to raise • sufficient for the erection of • suitable habitation for the orph children of merchant seamen. Subscriptions to this fun are earnestly requested, particularly as the present establish- ' meet must be given up, in consequence of projected altera tions in the neighbournood. The election of three girls and nine boys was proceeded with during the day. TOWER HASILET&—A soirée, to commemorate the return of Mr. George Thompson, M.P. for this borough, took place at the New Globe Tavern, Mile End, last evening, the attendance at which was very numerous, the visitors being admitted on payment of one shilling each, for which sum they were supplied with tea. The entertainment consisted in hearing addremes delivered by the political friends of Mr. Thompson. At six o'clock Dr. Oxley took the chair on a platform erected on the green, from which Mr. H. Vincent and Mr. Fraser harangued the assemblage upon the question of " complete suffrage " and the rights of the working classes, in eloquent but temperate language, the former declaring that Mr. Thompson's stoma had been secured by the efforts of the &intim and dissenters. As the day waned, the pro ceetlinen were adjourned to a large room adjoining, where Mr. Thompson delivered a glowing and emphatic address, attributing his triumph to no particular party, but simply to his advocacy of the great principles of truth, recognised alike by the dissenter, the chartist, and the reformer of every grade. He avowed himself the advocate of a greater exten sion of the suffrage, the separation of church and state, and short parliaments, declaring it to be his intention annually to resign his post into the hands of his constituents.—Mr. Feargus O'Connor M.P., and other speakers, followed, and the whole proceedings were characterised by enthusiasm and good order. CO-OPERATIVE LRAM/E.—Lest evening the society which has adopted the title of the Co-operative League held a soirée at the Central-hall, King's Arms-yard, Snow-hill, which was numerously attended. The objects of the leagne, as detailed in its rules, are stated to be to unite in one great confederacy all persons holding cinoperative views—to esta blish • complete system in education—to institute each a system of exchange as will secure to the producer the full re ward of his industry—and in every possible way to increase the comforts, elevate the character, and promote the nei neva of the members. The president of the league, Mr. William Hewitt, was announced to take the chair, which, however, in the unavoidable absence of that gentleman, was filled by Mr. Lane. The company was addressed by the chairman, by Mr. Ainger, Mr. Walter Cooper, Mr. Linton, and seve r al other gentlemen in advocacy of the views and objects of the institution, and the harangues were relieved by the vocal efforts of a well-trained chorus of Mr. Hullah's school, by whom several glees and =degas were executed with great precision, taste, and feeling. The entertainment continued until past 10 o'clock, when the company sepa rated, apparently well pleased with the proceedings of the evening. LADIES' LITERARY INSTITUTION.—A Ladies' Lite rary Institution and Mutual lai,rovatient Association has just been established in Beak street, Regent street, by a committee of ladies, for the purpose of affording facilities for the mental, moral, and social advancement of their own sex, for which purpose a library and classes are being formed for every branch of study. Drawing-room lectures, converse!. nom and soirees will also be occasionally given. A number of member, have already been enrolled. SHAIOPEARE'S House.—Sir : Nothwithstanding the public meeting in London, I very much fear that but little advance is made to diminish the probability, suggested by you lately, ;that the subscription for Shakespeare's house wont I, Gem mismanagement, fail, There is still nothing tangible ; no intelligible united plan to bring forward the dormant efforts of its well-wishers, and direct them to one point. I cannot, however, regret that Lord Morpeth was not there, although he would no doubt have made an excel lent spe ech. The noble lord is, in all other respects, both inefficient and inattentive. He promised that the house should be removed, it still remains ; he was delighted with the poetical idea of representing Caxton by a pump and a lamp, and nothing is done. A new house is starting z a t block up Holborn again—he looks on. But be never attending a commit, and I hope that his advice is vast& there. Would that he would give up the Woods and Fortes to some one competent and willing to attend wholly to the duties of that most important situation. In the meantime do, sir, suggest something on behalf of or great poet, and remember that time presses, and the government, as usual, sleeps. What are poetry and art to them ?A. Z., Aug. 28. —P.B.

SUPPOSED LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER MASTlPP.—Letters have been received from the Orkney Isles, announcing the probable lose of the government steamer Mastiff, Commander Lieut. A. B. Beecher, off the island of Saudor, 12 miles from Kirkwall-bey. She has been for some time past engaged in the surveys of the coast in the vicinity of the Orkneys. On the morning of Tam ils), (the 24th), while lying at anchor off the island of Saudor, it came on a fearful gale. Every precaution was taken kr the safety of the vessel, but during the height of the storm she W.ll driven from her anchors and carried ashore, a violent sea beating over her for many hours after wards. We are happy to state that the whole of the ship's crew and officers were saved. Very little chance remains of preserving the Wainer, which is full of water, and has sustained considerable injury. The Mastiff was an old vessel, having been launcried at Bideford in the year 1813. She was nearly 200 tots burden. FRACAS AT WOOLWICH DOCKYARD.--SOMe few mouths since Mr. Chatfield, who is well known as one of the members of the late Naval School of Architecture, received the appointment of assistant to Oliver Lang, Esq., the master builder of Woolwich Dockyard. Mr. Chatfield nad received from the yard he previously belonged to the character of a martinet, and a prejudice was thus raised against him. Matters went on for a considerable time unpleasantly, and, as far as we con glean, the first positive outbreak occurred on Friday se'nnight, when some men on board the Hydra steam -sloop, then in duck, hooted Mr. Chatfield. The suspension of several of the mechanics ou board the steamer served only to inflame the men still more strongly, and on the same evening • crowd waited outside the dockyard gates till after the volunteers were dismissed from drill; and on the appearance of Mr. Chatfield, with two lieutenants of the corps, he was hissed, hooted, and yelled at fur a considerable time. Still the causes of diseatio faction continued, and on the following Monday evening ano ther and still denser crowd awaited the arrival of Mr. Chatfield at the dockyard gates, and his appearance was the signal for a furious storm of yells and hisses. Mr. Chatfield seized a assn standing by, and gave him into the custody of a police man in plain clothes who was stationed at the gate. This caused an immediate attack on the policeman by half the bat talion, and the officer had his clothes torn to ribanda. Mr. Chatfield took to his heels, followed by the mob, who continued their yells and hisses till the object of their ven geance had escaped. Of course the prisoner was rescued. At the latter end of the past week au incident of • still more serious character occurred in connexion with the dispute. On board the Hydra a number of shipwrights and others were employed, and it was discovered that a plank, used as a gang way between the vessel and the quay, was sawn through beneath, leaving only about a quieter of an inch to connect the one end with the other, so that any person passing over it must have been precipitated into the dock beneath, a depth of thirty or forty feet. This, it is alleged, was placed as a trap for Mr. Chatfield, who, in his rounds through the dockyard, would have to pass on board the Hydra. By whomsoever this diabolical contrivance was made, it was fortunately discovered in time to prevent the occurrence of • serious catastrophe. An immediate communies tion was made to the Board of Admiralty, and on Saturday Lord John Hay, accompanied by the Hon. Captain Berkeley, and Mr. Ward, the secretary to the Admiralty, came down to the dockyard to investigate the charges preferred by Mr. Chatfield. The result was, the discharge of four mechanics and the suspension of be tween 60 and 70 others. The utmost excitement prevails amongst the men, and so apprehensive are the Admiralty of a serious disturbance in the yard, that the Royal Marines have been on duty round the yard since Saturday, and an extra force of police constables are on duty in the yard in private clothes. -The Mike were ordered to muster yester day morning at the statist-house in the town, and three mounted patrols were in waiting to convey intelligence to the Admiralty, or to bring a reinforcement of police from Greenwich. Those, however, who know the men beat do not aptrehend an outbreak ; but it is stated that all the volunteers belonging to Mr. Chatfield's battalion will throw down their arms and refuse to serve under him. FIRE IN MA an.anotta.—Leat night, at a few minutes before twelve o'clock, whilst • pollee-constable was going his rounds in Ifarterikid.street, New road, St Mary kbone, he discovered that one of the lofty newly erected houses, belonging to Mr. Braise, builder, No. 7, was on tire. The officer raised an alarm, and • number of the inhabitants hastened to the spot to render assistance. The brigade engines from the West-end depots and from Regent quadrant soon followed. Powerful strums of water were immediately scattered over the burning mass. Although every man exerted himself to the utmost the fire continued to travel most fearfully, seising upon everything of a combustible nature, so that before one 4'clock this morning the building which was five stories high, was wrapped in • general blase. For some time the greatest fears were entertained for the safety of the surrounding habitations, but by carrying the hose of the engine to the roofs of the several buildings, the firemen were enabled to cut off the further progress of the destructive element; but it was fully half-past one o'clock before the fire was safely extinguished, and not until the premises were nearly gutted. Mr. Brain is not insured for a single penny. How the fire originated is a mystery. The premises bad only been recently finished, and at the time of the outbreak they contained • vast number of sashes and other building materials, besides the workmen's', tools, all of which have heen consumed. INQUESTS, YESTERDAY.—CHARLIE AGAINST A Po-' LICRII•N.—ACCIDE IT AT .BLACKW ALL.—Before Mr. Baker, adjourned from August 24, at the Royal Mason, Sherbert street, Poplar, as to the death of C. Simmonds, who was drowned off Blackwell-pier, on Meeday, August 16, in con sequence, as was alleged, of Feltham, a policeman, having pulled him back as be was jumping from the pier into a steamer alongside, the policeman having previously, by the captain's order, turned the deceased, who was drunk and disorderly, out of the boat. The inquiry had already been twice adjourned, and without further evidence than that , given is our paper of August 25 having been adduced. After a strong discussion between some of the jurors and the co roner, who was of opinion that the oceurresee was purely accidental, the inquiry, by the advice of the coroner, was again adjourned until Wednesday next. —MMANCHOLT DEATH or Two CHILDREN FRON DESTITIrrION.—Before Mr. Watley, M.P., by adjournment, at the Crown, Penton ville-hill, on view of the bodies of Horatio Hunt, aged 8, and Henrietta.

FLOATING OF THE GREAT BRITAIN- THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 81, 1847. ARRIVAL AT LIVERP99L Thie gigantic Teasel, which has lain stranded at the head of Dundrum Bay ince September last--aser eleven months—is at last fairly *Host. It will be lected that Mr. I. Brunel, jun., Ant undertook to Neese Great Britain from her perilous situation, and to peaveys her from becoming a total wreck under the heavy apap which rolls into the Bay of Dundee= from the Ili& Ilea. when the wind blows freshly from say point between Beet and north. To accomplish this a eutetealial breakwater was anted astern of the steamer to seawall. This bather, which was upwards of 160 yartirk ingshg - senrhritisitif rows of the trees he .esdt Mew • homilml by Earl Roden, Ma iplambilen eft mode* en lb.ete @Mir et the bey.

Between the inner rows of piles, ismer bemMee ismote, firmed of brushwood, bound together, and lemied mahatmas, served to " deaden" So billows its they relied in upon the Alp. This invention peeved entiamtly eneemehl is wing UM vowel from what, se wee time, aimed imyhable arinslitia—m) much so, in raistitat rhea her beam wee ensmated, after the first es Gist ler had been mode, her hull was found to OM auffmed, me Ohm injury than three perforations, "elf no Imperinnto, sassed by fragments of reek torn 41r in prig over a reef in the furious gale of April lion. The symmetry .of tho noble vessel's water-lines " remained so perfect as on the day when she was floated out of the building dock. The operations toe Boating her were subsequently entrusted to the Mean. Bremner, of V. Their contrivance is thus described in an elabor ate article on the subject in a recent number of the London Illustrated News Twenty large boxes were made, to contain upwarde of thirty tons of sand each. Ten boxes were suspended on each side by strong chains, which went over pulite, in the upper part of large vertical baulks of timber, the same chain passing through pullies attached to the aide of the ship, thus doubling the weight of sand in the boxes, less the friction ; and, it should be added, thine boxes in the middle of the ship, opposiw the engines, had four powers to each, to prevent straining the ship at that part. Very poweriul levers were put to the fore-end, capable of lifting about 190 tons ; and, along the sides oppiwite the large tins ben, formerly on the ship, were also placed levers, capable of lifting stout 200 toes each. In addition to this lifting power of boxes and levers, was applied screw-power, capable of lifting 160 tons. These screws were placed near the hewn-holes, on a stout frame of timber, which was on immense end-wood supports. The levers on the sea side of W ship were ballasted with chains, anchors, end parts of the engiotr, se also were those on the fore part. The sea had, therefore, little surface to strike against; while the letters on the land side of the ship were ballasted by a large iron boat filled with sand. When the lilting power was about complete, on the 13th of July (spring tide), it was thought advisable, as the good sea son was passing, to make the that attempt, when to the sur rine of silos board, the ship lifted so rapidly, that the valves had to be opened to prevent her going up further. This first trial, it appears, was set about too prematurely, se sufficient preparations had not been made to retain the ship at the re quired height; consequently, on the receding of the tide, several of the boxes and baulks were injured. To provide for maintaining the ship at the required height, some thou sands of small piles were di leen, reaching from the sur face of the sand to that of the rock ; and on these piles were laid foundations for vertical supports, which, by an ingenious contrivance, were made self-acting, so that as the skip rose the shores placed themselves. In addition to these shores, were many immense wedges, hauled in at the fore-keel and bilges; stones were also put 'ruder her with long shuts from toe deck. The gratifiing result of all these preparations was, that, on Thursday, the 29th July, the ship was raised to the repaired height, so that the boiler-builders could get at the bottom to make it water- bbe maintained her position up to Wednesday night last, when preparations were commenced for making one more attempt to float the ponderous vessel. When the tide began to flow on Wednesday night, anchors were laid out astern, gad the warps attached to which were hove upon by the vessel's wiedlasies and capstans. Then were so far success ful as to move the ship about three fathoms farther to sea iward, in which position she was permitted to remain until the following day. The Birkenhead iron steam-frigate, .of 1,400 tons and 600-horsepower, hod come down Shen Kingstown early in the wet k to act as a tug when re quired; sad the Scourge, steant.bomh.ship, of 400 hoarse r, wine had formed one of the royal squadron in her Usjeety's amnion to Scotland, had also been despatched to dr Boy of Deadrunt, and anchored about a mile and a half te the southeastward of the Great Britain. A large num ber of theirs/a of those two steamers were aboard toe Great Heir* awl wag efficiently contributed to the success of tireeprirewt. Mr. Bellamy, Second Master Superintendent of Penmen* Dockyard, and a strong detachment ol riggees from thearicyarla both of Portsmouth and Pl)moutb, wine also es bred the Great Britain, and rendered good service. On Thursday recourse was had to the steam power of the Birkenhead ; but, owing to the failure of the floating arm war in two large lighters alongside the shipound to thetas,- limes of the tide, in consequence of a northerly wind that helt prevailed fur some days, she did not rise so high as had her expired, all the efforts made to remove her were entirety ussuccessful, she not having been towed out even one foot. On Friday the final attempt to get off this leviathan ship ,tow made, wi h that success we yesterday announced. le toes the intention of Capt. Claxton at first to have the Great Britain direct to Liverpool, but in conse quence of leakage, it was deemed advisable to make in the first human for Belfast, and on Saturday after noon she entered that pert. As soon as it was possible he get her underweigh again, she turned her prow to wards the Mersey. At eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, the rescued monitor left Beliast towed by the Birkenhead. She had on board the Messrs. Bremner, (to whom the credit of raising her is more especially due), Capt. Clarion, a body of 90 men from Plymouth and Portsmouth, 40 men from the Birkenhead, and a body of 150 Irish labourers. She had on an average about five feet of water in her hold, and it was found necessity to ply the pumps during the whole of the voyage. Her rigging was gaily decorated with signal and other flags. She made throughout about 64 knots au hour, and at 7 o'clock yesterday morning was telegraphed in Liverpool off the Great Onnshead. At 9 o'clock she was off Veer Neut. The intelligence produced lively emotions of joy in the town, and the pier-heads were throned by thousand' of spectators. She reached Liverpool et one o'clock, and was saluted with num= Seaoombe ; she was too distant to be greeted with the sheer tog with which she would otherwise have inevitably been re ceived. She came in on the top of the tide, and was hauled without much delay to the gridiron in the Prince's-dock basin, where she at present securely lies. She had a temporary rudder, which it requires six men to work. Her screw was observed in idle motion with the mere torte of the water. With the exception of the breaking of a hawser, and some little damage from the Birkenhead run ning accidentally too close alongside, not the least accident occurred during the voyage The spectators, who had ex pected her to be laden with water, from excessive leakage, and little more than afloat, were surprised to tee her ride so stately and high. This was a gratifying proof that the damage she had sustained during her 11 mouths' buffeting by the waves was far lee than could have been possibly anticipated, and testified to the skilful engineering which had been employed in preserving her. Indeed, the preservation and floating of this immense vessel must be regarded as one of the greatest triumphs of engineering talent, as applied to the recovery in attended ship, upon record—not even excepting the float ing of the Gorgon stemn.frigate at Monte Video. • NEW ZEALAND : THE COOK'S STRATT SETTLERS. 7,-- --- We continue the publication of the letter from the settlers at Wellington to the direcames of the New Zealand Company, which we astanteed es Friday lut : beg sew, patleame, to all yew staellos teo 4 Se es. same ass a rse we parameell bra ret estrisea as With da upadiere d de MINIW ; Sad the tailla et Web se sew as e.tem, say. by Ow plead Was et yes seabid gin Ur perammum le drama mad eallwaut Ss art fer ule, sellable, erl esSable Yak eurtesfe peessisse.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, Avo. 29. We have each day renewed preofs that whatever government may legitimately do for the improvement of the country, for the augmentation of employment, and the amelioration of the people, will not be ne glected. We find to-day, from the Limerick papers, that the new floating dock has been contracted for under the superintendence of the Board of Woriss, and that a commencement will be made with it forth- with. Other docks called for by the commerce of the port will be put in course of construction, and to ' morrow an important deputation will be received by the Lord-Lieutenant, the object of which into impress on his Excellency the desirableness of appointing a Packet Station for American intercommunication at Limerick. The statement confidently put abroad that the un finished works under the Labour Rate Act would be completed forthwith is premature. The board of work reply to all representations, "We have no power to do what you require." The Society of Friends in Limericic have succeeded partially in their mediation to remit the punishment of death to two culprits there. Michael Lea's execu tion has been respited—his punishment will be com muted to transportation for life. Howard, who mur dered Mrs. liorrigan and her son, is left for execution on Wednesday next, when one of his fellow-p ri soners has consented to act as " finisher of the law. ' A case of some importance to the mercantile world was tried before the magistrates at Limerick, on Friday. It was a prosecution for fraud, under 9 Geo. IV., sec. 44. Mr. Galwey, a country gentleman in Kerry, and an extensive land-agent, on the 24th Feb., in the present year, purchased from Mr. Horatio ' Nelson Seymour, of Limerick, since become bank rupt, a quantity of Dantzic white wheat, equal to 1,700 qrs., at 78s. per qr., besides insurance. The wheat had not then arrived. The amount was to be paid by an acceptance at 3 months, and by two ap proved bills. In April a second agreement, changing Ithe mode of payment, was entered into, by which the first bill, for 2,0431. 18s. 3d., was made payable lon the 28th June; the second, for 2,0001., oa the 13th July; and the remainder to be by cash or bill paid when the shipping papers were handed over by the seller to the purchaaer. ' On the sth of June an agreement was made by which Mr. Galwey authorised Mr. Seymour to dispose of the cargoes of the Wharfinger, the Rose and Ellen. and the Claudia (the vessels containing the corn par chased), to any respectable house in London, payment of the bills passed to be secured.' On the 15th of June, in consequence of the non-arrival of the cargoes, Mr. Seymour wrote to Mr. Gal wey, requesting him to pay the amount of the first bill, falling due on the 18th, or to give a new ac ceptance. To that communication Mr. Gulwey did not reply, but having received a more pressing one by hand, delivered by Mr. Merrick, Mr. Seymour's book keeper, who went down to Killarney, Mr. Galwey complied with the request, not being aware at the time that Mr. Seymour had not only discounted the bills for 4,0001., but bad actually raised 5,8431. on the bills of lading. This was the fraud com plained of, and upon it Mr. Cralwey grounded his informations, which were drawn up, and ready to be sworn upon oath. That Mr. Seymour had raised 5,8131. on the bills of lading, and discounted Mr. Galwey's bill for 4,0701., the entire of which (9,9134) he had in his pocket when he applied to Mr. Galwey, could not be disproved, and therefore the crime he had committed brought him fully within the meaning of the statute, inasmuch as ho had falsely pretended that the bills of Mr. Galwey had no• been used, and that the ships' bills of landing were in his I possession, ready to be handed over, when they were at the time h4d byother parties as security for 5,8431. advanced. Mr. Galwey, under these circumstances, applied to have informations for fraud received against Mr. Seymour. It was contended, on the pert of the latter, that the case was purely mercantile; that the bills of lading were offered to Mr. Gal wey in the first in stance that he could not advance m oney on them; that he knew the sum of 5,4831. had been railed when he gave the second acceptance, and that two of the bills of lading had been offered to Mr. Galwey, with a demand that he should pay the amount of the cargoes in cash, as the bank bad refused to do his bills, and this demand was, it was contended, not un usual in mercantile affairs. It was admitted that the money had been raised on the bills of lading at the time the second acceptance was sought from Mr. Galwey, and the magistrates granted informations. Mr. Seymour to stand out on two sureties in 301. each, and himself in 1001. Ttie glut of herrings in the little bay of Kilkee, and up the Shannon, was so great last week, that the flab sold retail at Is. 6d. the hundred. Mr. John O'Connell and his brother, Mr. Daniel O'Connell, arrived amongst the constituents of the latter on Wedneeday last. The people of Waterford gave them a moat flattering reception. A line young woman named Byrne was accidently killed near Ardee, County Louth, a few days since. A young man of the neighbourhood presented a gun at her—he knew not it was charged—and having pulled the trigger, the contents lodged in her breast, causing instant death. Tax Loan Lizt-renarer.—On Friday his excellency visited the line et the Great Southern and Western Railway, and was entertained at Carlow by the directors. The health of the Lord Lieutenant having been pro posed, he returned thanks en a speech, which, being more than one of form, may be with propriety perpetuated. It is thus reported : His excellency stated that he seldom expe rienced more gratification than on that day, having passed through a beautiful country teeming with the products of the earth, and upon a line of railway that reflected credit on the energy end enterprise of the company. At home or abroad he had never seen so beautiful a line of railway, one which exhibited in its construction a rare combination of science and art. He felt delight in witnessing the Cgr:of railways in Ireland—in whose prosperity he le a eply interested—independently of the kind treat. !Dent he had received, and the reception he had met with from all classes of Irishmen, since his arrival in that coun try. Railways would prove of vast advantage to the country by the development of its industrial resouroes, and tae impetus they would give to every branch of traffic. Ireland was *ma daily an agricultural country. The farmer required a market for his produce, and the railways, by sieedy transit, afforded him the accommodation he required on reasonable terms. It was needless to allude to the past year, to point out the necessity of industry and perseverance in future. All that we/required was a spirit of industry, and a greater reliance on Deltas , action to place Ireland in that proud position which at no distant day she was destined to occupy. England was now closely essasseed with Ireland, by the twofold power of railway and rear navigation.
