The autopsy of the body of the duke was made on Wed acidly by MM. Tardieu, Canuet, Simon, Boys de Leary, and Orfila, m?mbers of the faculty of medicine, at the prison of the Luxembourg. During this operation the populace was collected in large numbers in front of the prison, eagerly seeking to learn the most trifling details of the affair. The presence of arsenic in the system was ascertained by Marsh's apparatus. It was found in enormous quantities in the ven tricle and the duodenum. The remains of the murderer are retained in the prison awaiting the orders of the authorities. A prizes verbal of the autopsy was drawn up and signed by the physicians. The same physicians, with the Baron Puquier, ascer tained in the presence of the Procureur do Rol the several traces of wounds, scratches, and contusions, on the person of the duke which were inflicted on him by his wife in her struggles for life. The following were ascertained:- 1. On the right arm, a scratch of a blueish colour, very dis tinct, and of some length. 2. On the right hand, within the thumb, • bite which tore away the epidermis through the length of about half an inch. 3. Another deep bite at the I end of the first finger of the right hand : the duke *scribed this to • wound accidentally received. 4. On the left hand a deep scratch to the surface of the phidengian joint. S. On the first finger of the left hand, on the outside of the second joint, aw. und, and near it • deep scratch this linger was covered with newly-dried blood on the 18th. 6. On the middle finger of the left hand several violent scratches with the nails, by which pieces of the epidermis were torn away. 7. On the fore part of the left leg a long excoriation as wide as the palm of the hand, attended with eon sideraMe swelling. This wound evidently proceeded from • recent contusion, and was explained by the duke to have proceeded from • blow against the step of a carriage. 8. On tke upper part of the calf of the left leg, a slight wound.—All these contusions were recent, and evi dently proceeded from his struggle with the duchess in ac complishing the murder. Marshal Sebastiani received the intelligence of the catas trophe at Vevey. near Geneva. General Tiburee Sebastiani, his brother, left Paris on Wednesday, to meet him.

LOCH LAGGAN, WEDNESDAY.—Yeeterday was gain fine, but cold. H.R.H. Prince -Albert and the Marquis of Abereern, started for Ben AuMee Forest to enjoy the princely sport of deer-et:4lring on Loch Erricht side. The party left the lodge at eight o'clock, riding on ponies. At ten o'clock l'rince Leiningen, with Mr. Anson, the keeper of the privy purse, drove from the lodge in an open carriage, on their way to the moors of Strathmashie, there to enjoy grouse shooting . . While Prince Albert was engaged in the chase, her !silkiest/ made a short emir ion in the neighbourhood of the lodge, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Princesses, all mounted on small ponies. Had the day been more favourable her Majesty would have extended the excursion, either up Strath Padtock or down the north bank of the lake,—pro bably would have enjoyed a more leisurely view of the lodge and of the two islands (Dojt Island and King's Island) which lie within a short distance of the lodge. The wind, however, had become somewhat strong and cold; the heights of Ben Nevis—seen far away down between the heights at the south-end of the loch—were wrapped in rah% aad a thin drizzling vapour shrouded all the western hills. Her Majesty and the royal childrea rode as far as the east and of the loch. The road along the moth bank of the loch is even more romantic than that on the north—now winding round the brow of a rock, now creeping unseen through the birch-woods. His Royal Highness Prince Albert returned about two o'clock from the forest, having shot a royal stag sad a roebuck. " The antler'd monarch of the waste" pos sessed a head worthy a huntsman's skill, its branching horns showing twelve points: when weighed this morning, it was found to be fourteen stone, without fat or offal. Although the carcase was not large, the heed was mag nificent. Prince Leiningen returned from Strathmaskiii moors about five o'clock, having enjoyed an excellent day's shooting. In the game-bags were fourteen brace of grouse. Earl Grey rode oat on • pony in the afternoon, and went up Strath Padtock. A keeper pre ceded him with fishing-gear, and his lordship tried the fly and the par-tail systems of fishing in the Padtock-water. The Padtock is a black sluggish stream, not particularly favourable to the fly-fisher. A basket of good trout re warded the earl for his pains. Lady Jocelyn rode a short distance up the Strath on • pony, accompenied by General Weaves, intending to participate in the amusements of the "patient angler." Her ladysltip has a reputation for wit, and she seemed to exercise it with a great deal of ppleasure on the primitive appearance of the inn, and the miam llaneous toppingsof • rustle charger which a fashionable gentleman was at the moment mounting at the inn door. In the course of the day Cluny Macpherson 'bated the lodge, and placed at the disposal of His Royal Highness the shooting of Aberairder, which Cluny has hitherto reserved for himself. The shooting extends about eight miles in le and three in breadth—lkom Aberairder, on the aide of Legge.. to near the bridge over the Spey st Leggin e. vie His Royal Highness was pleased to accept the offer made by Cluny. Leggin church, I understand, is being somewhat improved inside, In the anticipation that the Queen will attend divine service there neat Sunday. Her idejorty has brought no ▪ lain with her. This morning the hills around the loch presented an en tirely different appearance from what they did yesterday; although fair and cheerful, the der y did not present the sunny aspect of summer, neither were the hills enveloped in the wet mist of yesterday. The mountain scenery wore that peculiar appearance generally supposed to precede rain, in which all the glens and conies, all the rocks and heathery knit, are seen with remarkable distinctness, though the "'set they wear is cold and bleak. Occasionally great Doss of mow-white vapour, driving up on the wind were :alg i by the hill-tops, along which they travelled slowly, their feet far down the hill-sides, hiding ill but the scenery at the base. Again the great denim, flying lower, would sweep up the glens. ruzgthemselves, sash-like, round the waist of u......, leaving the summits apparently detached, tie* like islands, over probably a calm and waveless sea. At ten o'clock Prince Alton, accompanied by Prince Lei and the Hon. Mr. Gordon, drove up to the boat , where the party mounted ponies, and rode off to i t s. . ling at Aberairder, placed by Cluny at the disposal d al highness for the season. The Aberairder shoot .1 Ilford' grouse, black cocks, ptarmigan, snipe, eke., with meselerahle. numbers of deer ; in fact , almost every other deed of game to be fo u nd on a Highland estate.

The weather, fortunately, was delightful ; it seemed to hays settled down for a long tract of dry weather. The hills ware almost cloudless, and the lake lay motionless, with a mirror-like surface. The crowds did not begin to flow in in a continuous stream until nearly eleven o'clock. The roads from that hour, however, were covered with pedestrians. From the little tan at the head of the loch the warm was stirring and altogether peculiar—essentially Highland. From the glen through which the Padtock runs came the sound of the " martial pipe," mellowed into softness by distance, when first heard, end floating down the valley with a dreamy sound, recalling to mind the stirring times of the past, when every husbandman was a soldier, oftener weilding the " land-giving sword" than goading the ox in the yoke of the peesshl plough; when, through the same valley, to the some sounds, marched the ancestors of the men now marching, and to meet and join in a very different contest from that In which they were about to con tend. Time flies, manners change, and every change is for the better. Strathspey sent teeth her grants from her distant districts —from the feet of the Mona lhad h Mountains, from Rothiemurcus, and the braes of Abernethy ; Badenoch, from her thousand glens, gave up her Macpherson; from about Carryarralt and Olen there seam the Maekintoslies and the Macdonald& Every ball gave its fair and gentle, every boothie its honest and trae,—the men plaided, the women kirtled and scarfed, In honour of the day. About noon a procession was formed at the Boat-bridge. The High landsmen first set in order. At a given signal the pipers struck up • march, and the procession set out for the lodge. To enjoy the romance of the scene, it must be vividly conjured up. Imagine a range of splendid hills, cut into conies and ravines, inclining a quiet glen—a lake—a blue, broad, and far-spreading lake—a forest of birches, aspens, and mountain-ashes—a road winding along the shore, now lost in • recess of the wood, now rising over a rock, now dis appearing in a little green bay—a thousand Highland men and women, in gaudy diem, marching—halfa-dosen bag pipes sending mountain-lilts from their hoarse threats—while the lake and mountains reverberated with sounds, swelling and dying : imagine this, and the scene is realised. At the lodge, the crowd who composed the procession were de lighted with a sight of her Majesty, who appeared in great spirits, and of Prince Albert, who does not seem in the least the worse for his Highland sports. The royal prince and princes also commanded much admiration. About one o'clock the crowd formed themselves into groups, when an animated contest took place in running, leaping, jumping, throwing the heavy and light hammer, putting the stone, de., for prizes offered by her Majesty. \Vhile the games were going on, the pipers struck up those strathspeys and reel, which every Scotsman places before all " Italian trills." It was not expect, d that such music would speak in vain to Highland lads and lasses, with their feet on the heather ; and in a minute feet were frisking and heads " bobbing" in the Scottish reel, " hooghing " and cracking of thumbs keeping time to the movements of the feet. While I write, the games are proceeding, and I mast close before the prises are awarded, to catch the post, for such • thing as an "express" could not be comprehended in this " happy valley." A tall Highlandmen, in the Davidson tartan of the Carrick, name of Kennedy, is likely to carry off Dome of the prise, In the evening, ahould the fireworks arrive in time, the scene will be magnificent. Skyrocket ascending after akvrocket, bursting like mimic thunder in the heavens, and filling like minute stars, will have a strange effect amid the hills, and certainly " astonish the natives. • Beside the lodge—in front of which the Highlandmen will be regaled during the afternoon—a marquee has been put up, capable of holding from one hundred and fifty to two hundred. In it, to the music of the pipes, • ball will take place in the evening, to which all who wear • Highland dress will have admission. For the entertainment of the people, large quantities of beef, mutton, and bread, with stores of whiskey, ale, and porter, have b een brought to the lodge from Invernees. Seen from the loch—on which her Majesty end the Prince will probably embark in their new and very handsome barge, rowed by the seamen from the royal yacht—the whole gathering around the lodge, the armed and plumed Highlandmen, the splendidly arrayed pipers, the dancers, and the fire-works, will form &spectacle such as never was seen in Badenoch before. THE ANTI-SANITARIANS OF ST. ANDREW'S, HOLBORN. At a meeting of the rate-payers of the united parishes of St. Andrew, Ho lborn-above-ban, and St. George the Martyr, Middlesex, held yesterday in the ball of the workhouse in Gray's-inn-lane, for the purpose of " making and signing a rive, for the relief, maintenance, lodging, sad employment of the poor, and en other important affairs," • scene took place, upon an allusion, incidentally, to a printed circular, which is worthy of being recorded as an evidence of the extreme horror with which the rate-paying inhabitants of the above parishes regud the question of establishing baths and wash-houses for the poor. Of the advantage which such an establishment might prove, even to some of the rate-paying parishioners thensieleos, we are compelled to say that we bore away upon our person living testimony. The following is the circulu—and the "scurrilous and paltry bill " therein alluded to was a reprint, in the form of a hand-bill, of an article which appeared in the Er press of the 13th of August, commenting upon the re sult of the motion fur apportioning a sum under the act for erecting baths and wash-houses for the poor, which motion had Won rejected by a mai:Vf 174.

Mr. Bon:sacs, (the clerk) haeleg reed the aseemits of the governors and direekee, hen whisk it appealed that owing to an ineressod payment to the guardians there remained a deficit of 1,2001., Mr. TALBOT (a director) rose to move a rate of 18d. in the pound, being 2d. higher than the last ; but it was with great regret he did so, and assured the meeting that he had hesitated to do so until he had fully convinced himself of its aeceasity. On the last occasion they had liberally voted the whole rates woposed under the impression that it would have miff oed ; but they nevertheless had a deficit to meet of 1,2001, money expended for the support of their brother parishioners. They had, unfortunately, in them parishes a great number of Irish as well as English poor, but that was an evil which they could not prevent, and was therefore, bound to provide for. It appeared by the rotates het the demands upon the rata-payers had more than doubled ahem lest year.

Mr. Witmer having seconded the motion, a sharp &sous don use as to his right to do so, he being a guardian ; but ' the sense of the meeting decided in his favour, on the ground of his being a rate-payer. The CLERK then stated, in reply to a rate-payer, that the expense of the poll taken upon the question of apportioning a sum of money for baths and wash-houses amounted to 101. 12s. 10d. Mr. WINCH (ONO of the principal opponents of that measure, and who before the close of the meeting was elected a director) said that he at the tims protested against a poll as unprece dented in the parish, and that • guarantee had thereupon been offered that the expense of the poll should be paid by 1 those who demanded it. He had since learned that the ob ject was to get a list of the names of those who voted in order to publish them. That, at least, he understood to be the object of the gentleman who was at the heed of this bath and wash-house story. Mr. TAYLOR (the gentleman alluded to)-1 pledge my word most solemnly that such is not the use. (A voice " Not now, because you are defeated.") Ido not acknow ledge that I am defeated. (Laughter.) You will find, at all events, that I shall not be on the next OCrAfriOrl (uproar) —fir I shall have a requisition signed by 1,000 rate-payers. (Renewed uproar.) It the rate-payers refused to pay the expense of the poll, he thought the better plan would be for him and Mr. Winch to pay it between them. (The proposi tion not having been agreed to by Mr. Winch, there was ne further disclaim= on the subject.) Mr. Roonas said that, from facts which had come to his knowledge, he had every reason to think that the present rate of lea. would suffice for the next quarter. Indeed, con sidering the great fall in the price of bread, he had hoped that them would have been a reduction and not en increase proposed. It was very bad policy to raise the rate unneces sarily, because there were a vast number of pumas in the two parishes who were ill able to pay the present rate, and might be compelled to refuse a higher rate altogether. He therefore moved a rate of 16d.—Mr. Moore having seconded the amendment, Mr. WINCH moved as a counter amendment that the rate be reduced to 1.5 d., and entered into a detail of figures to justify his doing so. He then proceeded to allude to Mr. Talbot's remarks upon the printed document (under the im pression that he was the party indirectly referred to), but con ceiving those remarks to be of • scurrilous nature, he should not follow them, but merely treat them with the contempt they deserved. It was insinuated that that document had originated with him (Mr. Winch) or his party, but he rather thought Mr. Talbot's party knew more about it than his. In fact, he believed it to have emanated from that party. A discussion then arose as to which amendment should be put first, but was terminated by Mr. Rogers consenting to withdraw his, aid the chairman (Mr. Goodhugh) put tree question that a IM, rate be made. Mr. TALBOT rose, he said, to make a few remarks in reply to the gentleman who moved that rate. In the first place he had to observe that if a party thought proper to put forth a bill and eirealate it amongst the parishioners, charging the governors and directors with jobbing, he thought he, as a director, was called upon— Mr. WINCH (interrupting)—l em no party to that bill, and before you can make these insinuations, you should iden tify me as the author and publisher of it. I believe Mr. Taylor to be the author of it, and not any of my party. I know nothing about it. (Cries of " question.") Mr. Tauter —I have not said, nor do I mean to say, that you are the author of it. Mr. WINCH—You alluded to the mover of the amend ment in conjunction with it, and we are not such fools as sot to know what you meant. (Question, question.) Mr. TALBOT (who attempted to proceed amidst a storm of voices)—You will save time by hearing me. A bill has been put forth charging the governors and directors with jobbing. [A Voice, louder than the rest , " That's nothing to do with it."] I beg pardon, it has. I mentioned no name. I said it came from a rate-payer of twenty years' standing. I do not say, and never have said, that it came from Mr. Winch. I may suspect whom I please, so long as I do not mention whom. (A Voice: " You did mention as plainly as you could ; but now you're ashamed of it.") lam not ashamed I of anything I do, however you may be. (Renewed uproar.). Mr. Winch says 1 named the mover of the amendment in conjunction with this printed bill. I say I did not. (Mr. Winch: " I say you did.") I deny it. [Mr. Winch : " Then you say what is false."] I believe, sir, you are pre pared to say anything that is false. (Hisses, groans, and 1 other marks of disapprobation.) A Rare-raven. (a supporter of Mr. Winch).--Gentlemen, I call upon you not to hear a word Mr. Talbot has to say, alter that observation. This call was so well responded to, that Mr. Talbot continued for about ten minutes to make utterly ineffectual attempts at being heard, even by those immediately beside him. Even appeals from rate-payers opposed to his motion, as well as from the chairman himself, proving fruitless, and the uproar becoming unbearable, it was at length put an end to by Mr. PURDY, who said he had been deputed by the medical attendant to announce that the state of one of the patients, who was dangerously ill in the workhouse, would be ren dered still more so if this noise were continued. He re gretted extremely to see this question of baths and wash houses taken up in so rancorous a feeling. If it could be carried, well sod good ; if not, it should be dropped alto gether. Mr. TALBOT then said that his only object in referring to this document at all, was to vindicate the directors from , the charge of jobbing, by showing that such a thing was impossible on their part. As for the expense attending the late poll, it must necessarily be borne by the pariah. The act of parliament gave power to a certain number of parishioners to sign a requisition calling on the governor and directors to bold a meeting, and they were bound to obey that call. Whether they had done so willingly or not in this ease be did not know, for he was not present. For him self, he would say that he was not convinced that the project could be carried out ; at the same time that he believed, if it could, it would be unquestionably attended with benefit. The directors being bound to call the meeting, any one parishioner might demand a poll, and the expense must be borne by the parish. Having again pressed upon the meet ing the necessity of an 18d. rate, The question was pat from the chair, when nearly every hand in the room (some of them notover-clean) was held up in favour of the amendment, or 15d. rate, which was accord ingly signed for: Messrs. Winch and Brent were elected directors, and the meeting (consisting of about 100 persons) separated. LONDON CHURCHYARDS. A public meeting Was held last evening in the Theatre of the Western Literary Institution, to adopt measures against the present practice of burying the dead within the churches and grave-yards in the metropolis and in towns generally. Mr. MACKINNON, M.P., took the chair at 8 o'clock, and congratulated the assembly, which was composed partly of ladies, upon having at length roused the attention of the middle classes to the important question of the health of towns ascon netted with the interment of the dead. Having adverted at some length to his own efforts in the cause, the chairman stated that the universal opinion of all the medical men who had been examined before the two committees of the House of Commons which had reported on this question was, that the burial of the dead within the crowded and narrow churchyards and vaults of the metropolitan and town churches was highly prejudicial to health and de cency, and all must agree that, such being the case, it was high time the practice should be abolished. The question woo how to achieve this point. It never would be SOMM pliahed except by the determination of the middle classes. It might be asked why the abolition of the peastios was opposed in the House of Commons ? To elite the r e ply war, that there were so many vested into le contend with, and so many adverse opinions to that nothing but the pressure from without weld Abet de sired purpose. In the year 1842, when he had first mooted the subject, he was openly laughed at. But by persevenesse he had obtained a committee to examine into the subject. The reports of both the committees were to the effect that the practice of burying the dead in the church yards and vaults of essely-confined spates was injurious, and ought to cease. In ancient times the burial of the dead within the walls of towns was strictly forbidden. Was, then, such a practice to be any longer tolerated by modern chestnuts ? No. (Cheers.) He had no wish to interfere with or lessen the gains of the clergy; but, as a member of par liament, he declared that the custom ought to be abolished. It was not, however, to be expected that the government would take the initiative in this reform. Ministers were too well satisfied with the posse 'on of the loaves and fishes not to let well alone, andthey would not stir in the matter until they were compelled to do so by the universal outcry of the middle clams. Mr. Guinan, churchwarden of St. Ann's, Soho, moved the tint reeolutams. After referring to the copious evidence on the state of the London church and grave yards so often cited during the progress of this agitation, he declared that the state of the burial-ground of his own parish church was such as to forbid him to bury a dog in it for which he had any regard. The whole area was a solid mass of coffins and human flesh in every stage of corruption, from which the most fetid and horrible odours and exhalations distilled, poisoning the whole surrounding neighbourhood. The place had been used as a buidal-ground for 165 years, and upwards of 95,000 corpses had been Interred there ; so that now the level of the ground was raised several feet by the enormous mass of corruption placed there, the size of the ground being no more than five-eighths of an acre. Sir Christopher Wren, who had rebuilt London, was wholly opposed to intramural burial. The clergy and the Bishop of London, who 25 years ago had denounced the practice, had utterly neglected their duty in not putting an end to it. After some further re marks, Mr. George moved the following resolution : That the health of Übe people is of paramount importance, and that it is one of the &Milani.' of the government of an enlightened country to do all in its power to remove those Muses that generally or locally aired public health. Mr. Mamma seconded the resolution, and, in so doing, was interrupted by Mr. Kitchener, who claimed for Mr. G. A.. Walker the merit of having originated the question of loth-mural burial, and of having supplied Mr. Mackinnon with the necessary evidence to prove his case before the com mittee of the House of Commons. Mr. Idkcxxxxox cordially recognised Mr. Welker's claims, but reminded the intruder that the proper time to bring them to the notice of the meeting was alter the Don nas& of the evening was transacted. The resolution was then put and carried) amidst some confusion, and a slight show of opr ion. lloozas proposed the second resolution; and read some extracts of the same disgusting character as had bean so minutely referred to by the preceding 'peeks!. The meeting interropted the *peskier by repeated arise el, " Walker ! ." implying that from this puree all his hafOrMl dga was ditrirsd. mr. Rogers contended that the vested Mersa of the slew alone were the cause of their opposi tion to the question, and stated (amidst cries of " no," from a Mr. Carden, who stated haelf to be the founder of the extra-laurel isemetries) that the cause why the clergy stood between the public and decency was, that the fees they reeeived for burials in churchyards and vaults were too lucra tive to be given up. In lit. James's parish the fees on burials emanated to 2601. a year, and is St. Guess and St. Georgs's they amounted to 8901. Mr. Rogers wu proceeding to cast some personal reflections on the Bishop of London, when he was called to order by the Asir. He concluded by moving That the frequent disturbance of earth highly charged with the de edrormsing sues emulating from decayed anddecaying human remains Is destructive alike of the morals and health of the people, and come quentlythat the interment of the dead in overcrowded churchyards, eurtounded . loy the abodes of the living, should be prohibited by law. .13 Mr. H. •LLer seconded the resolution, which, amidat some disturbance, was carried. Mr. J. C. Bairn proposed the third reeciation, en follows: That, in order to elicit the opinion/of the representatives of the peo ple in the new parisment este the necessity of suppressing by law the mustice of interment in towns, si copy of these resolutions be for. warded to every member, respectfully requestarst a reply to the guns dos ern to bow fir he is inclined to support a bill for the purcone etatml. Mr. EDWARDS having seconded it, after considerable con fusion and noise, arising from the desire of several indi viduals to address the meeting, it was carried. Berne other resolutions, not proceeding from the association in which the meeting originated, were then discussed, after which, thanks being voted to the chairman, the assembly separated.--It was stated in the course of the evening, that • much larger and more influential meeting would shortly be held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern in the Strand, for the same purpose ar the present, at which the attendance of the city members and other public men would be ensured. EXPLOSION OF A THAMES STEAM-BOAT. Aa stated in this paper last evening, an accident of a very terrible nature, involving the loas of several lives, and aware injury to many persons, occurred at an early hour yesterday morning, on board the Cricket steam-boat, one of the iron vessels which have for some time past been plying at halfpenny fares between the City and West - end. From what we have sinee learned, the Cricket had Made two passages between the Adelphi-pier and London-bridge, and was lying off the former landing-place ' at the moment the accident occurred (half-past nine o'clock). The passengers were in the act of taking their places for the down trip, and about eighty or a hundred had gone on board, when the boiler suddenly burst, carrying away the after portion of the upper deck and funnel of the ressel, and spread ing destruction around. The surface of the river was literally covered for some distance with the bodies of those struggling to save themselves, and others mere seriously injured. The boiler—to use a technical expression —was literally " cleared out," and fell into the river in two large masses, at a distance of several yards from the wreck. The funnel was alio torn up, and blown some distance in another direction. The after part of the vessel was very much shat tered, and sank immediately after the explosion, but the fore erect, which was only slightly injured, remained "high sad dry," and the passengers on this portion of the vessel fortunately escaped with only slight injuries. The explosion was heard at a great distance, and the excitement occasioned thereby along shore, and on the neighbouring piers, where the extent of the mischief was soon observed, was very great. The best assistance at hand was immediately afforded, and within a few moments great numbers of the injured parties were got on shore. Happily the tide was at its lowest ebb when the explosion occurred, and the water being very shallow, many persons escaped who would other wise inevitably have been drowned. Within a very short period the bodies of two person. were got out, and conveyed to St. Martin's workhouse. Those have since proved to bethe remains of Mr. John Blunt, jun., watchmaker, of the Vauxhall-road ; and a man known as " Charley, the sweep," who kept an oyster stall in Clare market. Mr. Blunt was proceeding to his daily avocation at Messrs. Frodshara's in Coruhill. The appearance of his remains clearly indicates that he was drowned, the body having no outward marks of violence. The other unfor tunate was killed by a fearful incision over the right temple. I Another body of a man, unknown, was shortly afterwards conveyed to Charing cross Hospital. There is nothing on his person which affords any clue to indentiticatioo. He was much injured about the Asa and head by the explosion. The following sufferers—more or less seriously injured— were conveyed to the Charing-cross Hospital , W. ()ahem, sack injured and much welded; T. Willetts, legs cut, and very much thAcm • J. Molls, severely melded; 11. Rowland, much shaker, and face end leg injured; J. Meowed, wrist badly cut, and much bridged ; T. V. Birks, severe fracture of right leg ; W. Kay, heed end legs much injured; W. Redeem%) (boy), cut lip and injured leg; B. frectured jaw ; W. Rut; broken leg; W. Ayre, injury in the tag; T. Blade (call -boy), fractured skull. 01 the above, Thomas Slade, the call-boy, is since dead. He lingered in an insensible elate during the whole of yesterday, and, notwithstanding the unremitting attention of the medical officers, expired about six o'clock last evening. Thomas Birks, whose injuries were chiefly in the right knee, underwent amputation of the thigh yesterday after noon and has since been in a very low state. His recovery is ext remely doubtful. In addition to the above, very many persons more or lees injured by the explosion were conveyed to their own habitations. As the tide rose the wreck was gradually lest sight of, and long before high water not a ves tige of her timbers could be seen. It appears that the Cricket, as well as its companion boats, the Ant and Bee, was fitted with engines built by Meows. Joyce and Co. ' of Greenwich, under a patent obtained by Mr. Octavius Smith, of Thames-bank, that is, upon what is termed the double cylinder or high pressure and mil dewing principle, originally introduced by Woolf, at the commencement of the present century, by which the steam L first employed to move the piston of a smaller cylinder, and is subsequently expanded into a larger one, where it becomes effective by the action of a condenser. The en gines are on the oscillating principle, and it was for the ' application of the high preemie and condensing system to oscillating engines that Mr. Smith obtained his patent. The boiler was a tubular one, and differs but little from the kind of boiler now obtaining such general use, excepting that the pressure of the steam must necessarily be much higher than among the ordinary condensing or low-pressure engines. Mr. Smith, the gentleman above referred to, is one of the principal proprietors of the boats, and him patent has not as yet been applied in any other vessels. The great advantage of it arises from the immense saving of fuel it occasions—no less, it is said, than one ton of coals per day in a boat the size of the Cricket. It is confidently stated, that at the moment of the accident neither the engineer nor the stoker were in the engine-room, nor was the captain on board the vessel. The latter, whose name is Edward Martin, himself informed our reporter that he was proceeding along the pier in the direction of the boat at the moment the explosion took place. A writer in an even ing paper last night, in reference to this latter fact, says " bloat fortunately the engineer and stoker were neither of them in the engine-room when the accident occurred." We should rather say it would have been most fortunate had these individuals been in attendance at their posts, as, in all probability, in that event, no accident would have occurred. Among the passen gers gepassen gers on the fore part of the vessel who miraculously emir unhurt was Mrs. Smith, the wife of th e g ee . Elijah mite, master of Archbishop Tennyson's school, Westminster. This lady had embarked a few moments previous to the explosion, and, at the moment of its occurence, was seated near the taffrail of the boat. On re covering from the severe shock she had sustained, and while the vessel was actually sinking, she bad the presence of mind to clamber up and grasp hold of the wheel, to which she clung until ambiance was rendered to her. Several other females were saved owing to the intrepidity of Mn. Smith, who, being a powerful woman, afforded them all the assist ance in her power until they were taken off the wreck. We hare received, on the 'abject of the high-pressure engines with which the Cricket was worked, the following letter: cam have lest have bean lessrdameof the Imeak. nent &MN to *lli awed Mee vanilla by ffre Wrist, red eller belle hoe, lisr lbws armee paat As a pet that the ibiegglr WS as wry elle were enamel was the bet enpurl eithelse ath herd ...r mi et sen a l s re • german Mr a thee rotes Yes.LPr= ebbe Ile teellseWtrecr mi cas ,== cedes Imes et we alma podia. en bates pollimfee be k iboim " r m a r eoltat e rsat, °WI OrtiXlWele, " other eeella Sane s~i rte be lew.pesassre mimic On sort aware Mt they ant vesting at Ms. an Oa spire bob. ne aglow we by Jep toe et theraine power, the fall sea. meld Is tally about I wt. l eg• pose hear.

The niter part was entirely gone, and a radars areed Galloway, a civil engineer, was inspecting whet ranathed of the boilers, for the purpose, if possible, of elneidating . the caws of the catastrophe. One boiler remains apparently in ita original position, on the larboard side of an wreck. That which exploded was on the starboard side. From the moonlight view the reporter had of the wreck of this boiler, it seemed to have passed oat at the stern, splitting that porti on of the vessel in two, at the same time carrying away the entire of the crane-beams and deck. Whe ther any of the passengers were in the after-cabin it is impossible to say. Had there been any, the infer ence is, that they must have been crashed to pieces. Mr. Joyce the eagineer, was present, and inspected the broken f ragments, but did not give any opinion as to the origin of the explosion. It is but justice to that gentleman to mention, that he implored the polies not to permit the fragments to be disturbed until a judicial investigation had been held. The operation of raising the ill fated vessel proved sae easeful, and the after part was floated nearer the shore. INQUEST, YESTERDAT.—THE LATE FATAL FIGHT BETWEEN Two BOYS; ADJOVB-NED.—Before My W. Baker, the coroner, at the Old Commodore public-house, High-street, Poplar, respecting the death of J. M. Harr', aged 8, who died at No. 3, Collings-place, Poplar, from congestion of the brain, produced by injuries he received in a fight with It. Anty, about the same age. The last inquiry was reported in our paper of Thursday. The four men named Johnson, Cater, leewson, and Aiger, were charged at the Thames police-court with aiding and abetting a fight between the deceased and Anty, and were remanded till this day. Susannah Durant stated that her mother kept a beershop in Oreherd.place, Poplar. On Wednesday morning, the 19th inst., the four men above-named were drinking to gether in her mother's house. Johnson ordered a gallon of beer. The men went to Abbott's-fields. About three o'clock they had four gallons more. Witness saw the fight. Johnson took Anty's jacket, and refused to give it him un less he fought for it. Anty chose the deceased, and they fought for nearly an hour. The men promised the victor some beer, and daring the fight Johnson reoeatedly gave the deceased beer. The deceased during the fight fell several times, and his face bled profusely. At the conclu sion of the fight the deceased appeared very weak and ex hausted, and the men gave him some more. During the fight the men appeared much delighted, and frequently encouraged them on. The deceased fell several times and the men picked him np, and gave him beer. The deceased appeared to be intoxicated. A boy named Ingletota said, when the fight was concluded, the men proposed a race, and deceased, Anty, and two other boys, were selected for the purpose. The deceased was unable to run, and he vomited very much in the field. The men took him to the Elder-tree public-house, in Bromley, and gave him some beer and rum mixed together. They then caught him up by his arms, and swung him round several times. He appeared very giddy, and was unable to walk.— Mr. Baia, surgeon, said he bad since made a post-mortem examination of the body, and attributed death to congestion of the brain. He had no doubt the excitement and the quantity of beer administered had produced death.—The coroner then summed up at great length, and after reading the whole of the evidence, which was very voluminous, the jury unanimously returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Robert Anty, Joseph Johnson, Joseph Cater, William Newson, and William Alger," and the coroner issued his warrant for their committal to Newgate. IRELAND DUBLIN, Aro. 26. Dublin, the second city in the British empire, is about the tenth, or even lower in the scale, in respect of cleanliness, the supply of water, and other ele ments of social and sanitary comfort. The Liffey is made the conduit of all the filth of the city, which at low water, being acted on by the sun, exhales the most disgusting miasmata, the fruitful source of fever, diarrhoea, and other diseases; whereas the natural fall to the south-west points at once the di rection in which the city refuse should flow, thus leaving the river pure, and providing for the general health of the inhabitants. The water stands in the same category with the sewerage. The supply is bad, and the quality execrable. To illustrate. the scantiness riliaeima rerum iu a city like Dublin, I may take a very extensive district in the north-east, which contains a population of ten thousand inhabit ants. Here there is neither basin nor pipe. Donkeys carry about an abominable imitation of fresh water, which is retailed to the housekeepers at a halikesny for a pitcher full. In the moat plentiful mem the Northumberland fountain, from which the emir k drawn, was inadequate to the demand; but tine long drought of the present slimmer the habitue' ilk convenience has assumed the character of a wattle famine. This dearth contributes to ill-health in a variety of shapes : it renders washing expensive, and of course infrequent, and adds to bad food filthiness of attire and person. A little exertion and expendi ture would relieve this populous district, and make it healthy and habitable. The canal water above the second lock is fresh, for it has not yet been impreg nated with the ten thousand filthy ingredients which poison it lower down. The distance to one or two central points is not a quarter of a mile ; and the ground is a gentle declivity throughout. The expense of sinking would be nothing—the chief cost being a metal pipe, with branches to shoot out in various di rections. The rate for this comfort and convenience would be only a penny a week for each house ; whereas the present supply costs at least three times that sum. You are not disinterested in our sanitary progress, which will excuse a topic so eminently local. The three " W's " line was commenced yesterday with the usual ceremonials. The point selected was the beautiful and picturesque elevation called Bray's Head. A witness thus poetically describes the effect on his sensitive imagination : "The some was alto gether exciting ; the crowds of peasantry, and the women clad in the characteristic red shawl and dark gown contrasted with the frequent groups of the fair and fashionable of oar citizens—all on the mountain. side, the ladies of Dublin and the peasant girls of Wicklow, the nobility of the land and the poorest of its peasants, the most independent of our traders, the I most honoured of our merchants, and the humblest of our artizans all were met," &c. itc. After Coi. Acton had " raised the first sod" the parties of "a sumptuous d6miner," over which the t a :l ca ef l Courtoun presided. The speeches were few, and all of the most flattering character as to the future prospects of the line. Mr. Fagan, M.P., declared the line would bring a whole cordon of towns and populous villages into connexion with the metropolis, while Mr. George, Q.C., had a reserve of prosperity in the communication with Fishguard. On their return in the evening the directors caught a glimpse of Mr. Hampton's balloon. Abut omen' SCOTLAND. EDINIIOBOII, Atm. 26.

A potato panic teak place in Perth last week. From an apprehension that it was doomed to imme diate and total destruction, about one hundred cart loads came into market, and the price fell from 255. per boll to ss. In due time, a re-action took place, sad the price is now 20s. per boll. Disease has, no doubt, been found to prevail, but not t 3 such an extent as to jeopardise the balk of the crop. The other day, the Duke of Buccleucb, accom panied with two of his sons, visited the mines at Wanlockhead—a district which figures so much and so unfortunately in the report on sites. His grace was respectfully and enthusiastically received.

PROVINCIAL. I I PROPOSED CULTIVATION OF COTTON IN Aus- TRALIA..—The Her. Dr. Lan, a gentleman, who has re sided in Australia, and who has also visited some of the cotton-growing states in America, had a long audienoe with the directors of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, on Wednesdiry, to lay before them hie opinions as to the cepa , &lidos of the north-eastern portion of Australia for growing I cotton. Dr. Lang describes the climate of the portion of country he se'ects, which is front the thirtieth parallel of south latitode to the tropic of Capricorn, along the South Pacific Ocean, as occupying the sumo tract of land in the southern hemisphere that ancient Egypt does in the northern hemisphere, and which is known to grow cotton well. He also states that the climate is very similar, the at mosphere being dry but with sufficient moisture to render it more suitable for this purpose than any in India ; and he argues that cotton might there be serrated by Europeans without risk to health, and thus free labour be brought into fair competition with slave labour . He proposes a chartered company to take land, to mad out people to be settled on the land with farms at about 80 acres each—the company not to grow cotton, bat la establish a model cotton farm, under the superintendents* of an American eottoo-grower, for the general lama d the colony, and to seek repayment of capital by lb& nub of the land. He contends that it would be men peedfilabie than wool-growing is there, and that a gnaw Groom mew realising a shilling per lb. in the present Mete of Om towhee could be grown sou to compete with America. lice= that the growers should not clean the cotton, as is but that one large establishment for that purples should occupy a central position on the many narigab'e ricers in tersecting this tract of eountry.—A long conversation en sued between the board and Dr. Ling.—The president thanked him for his comssituiesSise.__ WARWICKSHIRE.

COUNTERFEIT TURKISH COINING AT BIRMINGHAM. —Yesterday, a man named Darwin, war brought up before the magistrates at Birmingham, on a charge of coining counter feit Turkish money.—Mr. James, solicitor of Basinghall. street, attended ea the representative of the Turkish ambas sador, and M. Zohrab, tne consul general to the mobility, was present to watch the proceedings.—The prisoner (who is respectably connected), war accompanied by numerous friends.—James Tyrer, a button-maker, residing in Ryland street, .Birmingham, was the first witness. He stated that he first saw the prisoner in the month of October, 1841 ; on that occasion he came to him and uid he wished to see how cold silver, which is used for burnishing buttons, was worked' he saw witness silver two small blanks, and at a later period in the day he came to him, and showed him sumo coins, very similar to those produced in court; he said that the dies of these coins were at a place near Brom grove, and asked witness to go and sec them. He did so, sad after inspecting them, he told the prisoner that the stump would do, hut that the die would not, it being too full in the centre. The witness here produced a number of good Turkish coins which the prisoner bad given him to make dies from ; and he said that, in compliance with this order, be had struck off about 45.000 pieces. The prisoner said that he would give him five pounds a week, and all ex pense*, if he would work for him. The coins, when struck, were sent to Crowley'a, the carriers, by order of the prisoner; and in this manner, about 50,000 were disposed of, repre senting fictitiously various Turkish values. A number of letters were here produced by Mr. James, which purported to have been written by the prisoner to the witness (Tyrer), but they were not read, in consequence of there not being a sufficient identification of the handwriting. In continua tion, Mr. Tyrer said that he sent off about nine casks of the base coin by the prisoner's orders, three weighing about cwt.; but that about five weeks afterwards three of the casks were returned, the coins not having been sufficiently silvered these the witness melted down in his ordinary business. Prisoner paid him altogether about 1,5001., and ri quested that the matter might be kept quiet, as negotia tions were going on between the British government end the Turkish, which, if they were successful, would ensure the witness the sum already named weekly. It appeared that Mr. Tyrer had not given any information of this matter until requested to do so by the police. Glossop, a police-officer, produced a quantity of dies which he had found in the prisoner's possession, and which he had given up readily. Walker, a packer, who had been in Darwin's service, deposed that; be had frequently seen him weighing foreign coin, and that on one occasion the pri soner gave him one at his request, which he marked and gave to the police officer. Mr. Edmund Zohrab was next examined He said that the coins produced were good imi tations of those in circulation in Turkey, but that there was no person in this country authorised to make them, and that to do so was regarded as a grave offence by the Turkish law, He further said that be had reason to believe there were other persons connected with the prisoner in his akar ; be therefore wished the inquiry to be further extended. The prisoner was committed for trial, the magistrates postponing , their decision on his solicitor's application for bail. The nine casks of counterfeit piastres sent by the prisoner from - are said to have represented not less Birmingham, than 95,0001. Jim sits. BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—The Builder has pub lished a view of the new front of Buckingham Palace, de signed by Mr. Blore, and now rapidly advancing above the lofty pabngs which served to conceal it. In point of design it is poor enough, quite in the Buckingham Palace style, and yet a little better than Mr. Nash's best. The palace will now form • quadrangle, and the expensive marble arch must be removed somewhere else. There is a talk of erecting it at Spring-gardens—a place, it is true, sadly in want of same kind of architectural decoration. The space between the canal and the front of the palace will, it is said, be made into something like • second Trafalgar-square. This sounds ominous. Chantrey's equestrian statue if George IV. was originally intended for the marble arch it may yet arrive there. PRESENT TO JENNY LING.—A superb testimonial has been presented to Jenny Lind by Mr. Lumley; " as is tribute of respect for her genius and noble qualities, which have secured the enthusiastic admiration of England."

J.'llien, the new lessee of Drury-lane, appears to be active in his arrangements preparatory to opening the theatre. It will retain its character of an English opera house, and will embrace original works by native composers, as well as English versions of foreign pieces. Among the performers already eng aged , we understand, are Staudigl, Pischek, Reeve. and 111iss Birch; and Madame Viudot (Pauline Garcia) is spoken of. The orchestra ie to be on a wale of magnitude unprecedented in an English theatre. Most of the principal instrumentalists of both the Italian opera bands are engaged, and Hector Berlioz, the composer, is to be the musical director. The Gazette Musicale (with which journal Berlioz is connected) states that his salary is to be 10,000 francs (4001.) for three months, or 20,000 francs (8001.) for six months, according to the length of the season; and that, moreover, he is to have four concert', for each of which he is to be guaranteed the receipt of 1001. sterling, which makes 4001. more. Some of the greatest work.; of the older masters, it is said, are to be produced; such as the "Iphienia" of Gluck, the principal operas of Mozart, the " Faust ' of Spohr, and the Hugue nots" of Meyerbeer. New operas are to be written for the theatre by Balls, Benedict, Berlioz, and Belfry. Accounts differ as to the time of opening the theatre ; but it appears probable that it will be is December next.
