The twenty-third annual meeting of the British Association was opened this day at one o'clock, by a sitting of the general eowmittee in the library of the HuU General Infirmary, Colonel SAIIINE, the president of the associa ting, in the chair. The Ass.IoTANT GENERAL SECRETARY (John Phillips, F.lt S.) then proceeded to read the minutes of the last meeting of the Association, in 1852, at Belfast, which, basing been confirmed, a draft of the report of the pro ceedings of the council during the past year was read. _ The CHAIRMAN moved, and it wu seconded and carried, that the report be receivtd and adopted. The report of the parliamentary committee was then read. It alluded to the steps which had been taken to procure a reduction in the rut , a of postage on presentation copies of works forwarded to correspondents in foreign pmts. These could inOy now be sent at the same rat* as letters, and the committee was anxious to have this reme died. Lord Canning had an .ounard that he was in treaty with foreign governineuts fur the transmission of works generally, but be thought it would be difficult to make opeciil reculations ter scientific works. The report then detailed what had been done in the matter of Lest Mu rey's proposals for hydro;raphical observations, and recom mended that no esertimis should be spared to imbue govern ment with the annuity of a reduction and co-ordination of the observations of British naval officers. The Co tIItOAN thought so valuable a report should be referred to the committee of recommendation, in order that they might prepare by the next committee meeting a nimble recognition of the services of the parliamentary committee, as well ■s to strt nether' t►e hands of the gene ral examinee with reference to the principal matters therein alluded to. The Rev.

FATAL EXPLOSION AT CRANILLUOTON COLLIERY. ff omurannutaatr—An inquest was held, by adjourn fast, 4 Boaday, at the Colliery School-room, Cramhagtoo, Weft B. Heed, BK., coroner, on the bodies of Wm. Baker Lae. Limerick, pitmen, who were kill d by an ezplosion ef IN - damp m Crmaliagton Colliep , on the 12th August. the inquest had been adjourned to take the evidence of leha Brown, a deputy•overman, who bad been severely burnt y the esplosion, but is slowly recovering. The ivideace went to show that the fire was caused by a blower which had unexpectedly come off at " the pillars," where the deceased had been working with naked lights. It was stated that gee was more apt to come off at the pillars, and the inquiry turned upon whether due precaution was used is working there with naked lights, instead of Davy lamps. It was admitted by all the witnesses that these workings had all along beta carried on with naked lights, anti no application had ever been made to the viewer by any of the gain to be allowed to use lamps. The evidence did not appear to the jury to convict any one of culpable neli g gence, and they accor di ngly returned a verdict of " Acci- Metal dada" BARNSTAPLE BRIBERY COMMISSIOA: - • --- BARNSTAPLE, TUESDAY l'ltout. The inquiry proceeded to-day an usual. The fol- lowing is the mo►t material portioa of the evidence . George Pedler, plumber and freeman, went to Lord Eb rington's committee-room about erne o'clock on the morn ing of the nomination day, with four other voters. Drank three bottles of wine there. Lord Ebriugtun came into the room to his dressing•gewn, and be asked his lordship to get him a situation. Lord Ebrington said he had got a good many situations while member for Plymouth, and could mo,t likely get one for witness if he voted for him. Was quite certain his lordship said this. Witness thanked his lordship for the wine, bat did not promise to vote for his. Would have voted for his lordship if he could have got a positive promise of a situation. Voted for Bremridge l ad Fraser, and afterwards had 61 left on his table by Mr. John Thoroley. Got nothing for his vote in 1847, and did not know any on,: who did, out heard that cheques for 51 were given away on the 'Fuego& Bank. Atter the elec. Gon, heard that these notes were useless ; no money could be got for them. The Chief Commissioner inquired if any one in court mould exp'sin the meaning of the term " Tawstock Bunk," as it was important to ascertain whether any sort of corrupt practice prevailed at the election of 1817. Mr. L. Beneraft, town clerk, explained that the whole thing was a joke with regard to 1817, the term " Tawstock Bank" having been in use long before 1647. From other evidence It appeared that the "Tawstock Bank " was a kind of " Bank of Elegance," and had been known in that sense for If, years or mum The Chief Commissioner—l suppose the term " a cheque on Tawstock Bank," in Barnstaple, was equivalent to the phrase "a draft on Aldgate Pump " in London. Several gentlemen replied in the affirmative, and the sub ject dropped. William Parkin, cooper and freeman, we- canvassed by Mr. Avery, the present mayor, for Lord Ebriagtou, who asked him if " a couple of suits of clothes, with moot; in the pockets. would do him any harm ? " Witness didn't know that they would. (Laughter.) Mr. Avery also pro , mised him the repayment of some expenses which he had bees put to by a family squabble, and hinted that he should be made town crier. (Laughter.) Voted for Sir W. Fraser only, and had 61. gives to him by Mr. Clement. Mr. W. Avery, mayor, voted at the last election for Lord Ebrington, and was on his committee. Was at hie lord ship's lodgings on the night of the nomination. Sea Pedler, 'Thornden, and Sanders there, between twelve ar el one o'clock, taking some wine. They were all three drunk. Pedler complained that when in London, in a state of starvation, he had applied for assistance to Mr. Breniridge, who had refused to give rim even a shilling. Ile knew that Lord Ebrington was not left in the room with the men without some of the committee being present. Advised Lord Ebrington to leave them, and he did so. Lord Ebring ton could not have promised to get Pedler a place without witues bearing him do too, and witness heard nothing of the kind. Witness had never said anything to William Parkin (the last witness) about two suits of clothes, or any clothes; and had never intimated anything to him about the criership, or spoken to him in any way except when he came before him (witness) in his capacity of magistrate. Parkin figured frequently on the police-sheet for being drunk and disorderly. Mr. G. Nuncio, auctioneer, end member of Lord Ebringtoa's committee, went to the Angel on the morning of the nomination day, and was told by Avery, the land lord, that Sir B. Wrey was upstairs with about 25 voters, the whole of whom Avery thought might be bought for 1001. Witness told him giving money for votes was quite out of the question, and went upstairs, where he found Sir B. Wrey sitting with pen and paper to take down the names of the voters present. Told Sir Boulder be was sure that none of them would have their names set down, and one of them soon after said the same. Witness did not believe Sir Bouchier thought of bribing them. Avery, the landlord, came in with a tray full of glares of grog, upon which Sir Bouchier said, "Now mind, Avery, I'm not ordering anything." Avery answered, " Oh, no, Sir Doubler, this is my treat." Witness gave no mote; or goods to any voter to vote for Lord Ebrington. Sir B. Wrey recalled—Did not order any drink at the Angel on the night of the nomination, nor remember having said t•iat anything ordered by the men themselves might be b-ought up. Distinctly said he could order nothing. Might say that 61. or 71. had been given to people for voting, but decidedly not that any such sum would be given upon the part of Lord Ebriogtoa. Mr. Avery, land lord of the Angel, was a leaseholder under witness. WA DING had received no bill from Mr. Avery for anything sup plied on the day referred to. Winsome hada tenant, a voter for the borough, who voted plump against him. lie held at a low rent, and after the election witness told has steward to raise his rent; but it was done. The tenant said he was very sorry, and they were very good friends now. Never had a tenant who misbehaved himself in that manner before. (Laughter.) In consequence of the Hall being required to-morrow for the sitting of the County Court, the inquiry was adjourned till Thursday THE MURDER OF TWO CHILDREN ATI STOCKPORT. 1 An inquest was held on the bodies of John and James lbgham, the children whose bodies were found on Monday in the Manchester and Ashton Canal, on Tuesday afternoon, before Mr. W. S. Rutter, county coroner, at the Navigation lon, Heaton Norris. Thomas Moore, their step father, was present in custody. The inquest was adjourned until Thursday next, at two o'clock. During the inquest, a large crowd, consisting principally of women, collected outside the house. There seemed to be a strong feeling agalut the prisoner ; and when he was ►eing removed in scab, at the close of the proceedings, the crowd expressed its indignation by shouting at him. Some penoo. desired the cab driver to upset his vehicle. Beth the demigod children were in burial clubs—the elder one in three, and the younger one in two. The sum payable from the former is W. Its. ; and that from the latter, 71. 120. IRE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1853. °PEW° OF A NEIV COAL FIELD IN STAFFORDSHIRE. CANNOCK, SIFT. 7. A very important ceremony takes place here to. I morrow—the formal upeni:.g of a Lew coal field • in this locality. The event i s interesting and worthy of uppers,. notice, if it was only because of the feet that coal has bean discovered to abound in large quantities over an immense territory at a time when the commodity is scarce and dear— d than it has been for many years, and because of the peculiar circumstance of a region, hitherto believed to be valueless as it was unproductive, turning into a mine not merely of wealth but of utility. Cannock Chase, now dis covered to be a great coal field, is one of the peculiarities of this island : anybody at all familiar with the old coach road to Liverpool from the metropolis would be sure to point to Cannock Chase as one of the most no* iiteiNe things remembered of that journey ; from Lichfield to Rugby, and far away to Stafford, miles and miles of unfenced, bleak, dreary, desolate moor. Nothing grew there: the crown held it. own, and the old chieftain, the Marquis of Anglesey, held his own, and looked out from his old castle in that dark region on the unproductive waste. For Cannock Chase grew not even herbage enough for a sheep-walk, and people of our day, inheriting the opinion of those who have gone before them for many ages, shunned Cannock for its unproductive, ungenial soil, dreaming of its hidden wealth. Now it has been discovered that all that cheerless d is one vast coal-field, em bracing within its bowels millions upon millions of tons of coal, and the Marquis of Anglesey, the chief lord of the soil, with his 85 years upon his head, comes here to-morrow "to open with ceremony this new industrial hive." The almost universal application of steam power, daily so much on the increase, and requiring such a large supply of coals, added to their increasing consumption for manufac turing and domestic purposes and the production of gas, induces one to look upon the means of obtaining an econo mical and regular yield of that article as being second in importance only to that of an ample supply of corn. Means adopted for securing this necessary object become a matter of interest to every member of the community. In the recent reports and proceedings of the Birmingham Canal and South Staffordshire Railway Companies considerable importance has been attached to the colliery operations on Cannock Chase. The Hammerwich Colliery bas been in working several years, and has supplied its immediate neighbourhood, and sent a large quantity of coals to Bir mingham by means of the canal, the results have been 'if such a nature as to justify the advisers of the noble marquis in recommending a large extension of mining operations. During the last few months the " Cab' idge Pits" have been sunk on the Chase, near the north west of Norton Pool, in the mid s t o f a coal bed of many thousand sues. Engines and machinery, and workshops and houses for engineers, smiths, and joiners, have been erected, and a railway laid down communicating with the canal and join• ing the South Stafforshire line, thus giving effect to the efforts of science and labour in converting a broad waste inhabited for centuries by wild animals fate a hive of in• duilley and wealth. Three measures of coal will be opened by the new pits that to be first worked is five feet thick a n d lies 120 yards from the surface. Though the, yield per acre does not bear comparison with portions of the Smith Staffordshire district, where the ten-yard coal is found, the workings and machinery of the " Uxbridge " are so constructed as to be capable of raising 500 tons per day. The whole has been completed from the designs and under the superintendence of J. T. Woodhouse, Seq., FDB., mining engineer, upon; the plane adopted by him at the Moira Eitaveley, Babbington, and s u ppo r t e d hy Thomas Moira, Esq., the agent to the estates. The winding-eugine, of great power and peculiar construction, comprises all proved advantages of economy and efficiency in working. This stupendous machine, a helms, is finished in the most minute and careful manner, the connexions and working parts being polished bright ; the buildings in which it is contained are fitted up and furnished in a corresponding style, the whole being a pattern of order and neatnees ; the heads of the establish ment taking into account that no means were so likely as a good example at head-quarters te establish a system of regularity and care among the subordinates and through out the establishment. The locomotive (appropriately named the " Black Cock ") provided for conveying the coals along the colliery railway to the canal basin and public railway, is also an object of con siderable interest, built expressly for the short and quick journeys it has to perform, the tender usually attached to locomotives is dispensed with, the necessary supply of water and coke being carried underneath and at the sides of the boiler. For the canal trade the trucks have rails across the floors, the gauge corsisponding with the wheels of the pit wag gons. flu of theme, on arriving at the =nem are rolled on to each truck. Ten or twelve of these form a train, to be conveyed to the wharf, and the coals are discharged into the boats. _ The trucks for the railway trade are of the ordinary eon @traction. The works have recently been visited by a de put.tion from the Canal Company, and by several gentle. men engaged in mining operations, who have expressed great utislaction with the perfect arrangements for carry ing out the undertaking on a gigantic scale.

NORTHERN RAIL it E The adjourned inquiry into the circumstance , . atteudina the catastrophe which happened at the Hume, station of the (ireat Northern Railway on Wednesday, the 31st ult., took place yesterday be'ore Mr. Tyrwitt, at the Clerkenwell Police Court, when Richard Partington, engine driver, and Joseph Woods, stoker, were brought up for further nomination, charged with negligently driving the expres. train, to which the accident in question cc• cuffed. Mr. Clarkson again appeared on bchalf of the Great Northam Railway Company, attended by Mr. Mowatt, the secretary, and several other gentlemen officially connected with the establishment. Mr. Rawlings attended on behalf of the defenii:Ets. &vital vitae@ As were examined. Their evidence MA. of a similar character to that previously adduced. Mr. A. Sturrock, locomotive engineer on the Greet Northern Railway—He knew the distance signal of the Hormel station on the London side. It was 534 yards from the aistance signal to the station signal. It WAS about 130 yards from the station signal to the point where the col li•ien took place. The distance signal could be seen by an ordinary sized man at a distance of 510 yards before reaAing it. That would make, to the point of collision, 1,174 yards. An engine driver could bring his engine up before getting to the station, if he observed the distance danger signal—that was to say if the train were travelling at the rate of the express train. The train could be stopped within about 800 yards, as the rails were on this particular occasion. The rails were dry, as the day was flue. Cruse-examined—He had had considerable experience. He hail often driven engines. He had frequently seen trains go put the station, notwithstanding the danger signals were up. Sometimes the signals are put up merely to stop a passenger. There was a severe gradient of 1 in 200, inclining towards Homey. The number of breaks made • great difference in the time of stopping a train. The number of guards, whether inside or outside, made a dif ference. A guard will immediately obey the signal given by the engine -driver. This signal was three sharp beats of the whistle. He knew the fireman of this express train. He had been fireman on this line a very short time. He had recently been employed in the sheds of the company, and not as fireman at all. It was necessary for a driver to have a fireman who understood his business. This would not apply more strongly to the driver of au exprem train. It was possible for an inefficient man to attend to the fires very improperly, and in that case greater care and caution would be required of the engine driver. If the fireman should put the coke too near the tubes instead of in the corners there would not be so mach steam, as the draft would be impeded. It was a very common thing to remove firemen if they did not agree with the driver, as the firemen were completely subordinate to the driver. The coal truck in question was due in the morning, but was de layed by the piston breaking at Colney Hatch. The cause of the ,ccident to the tender was unexplained up to the pre sent time. There had been one or two accidents at Horrisey station before. Re-examined—He had never had any complaint respect ing the fireman in question. Woods was perfectly capable of acting in that capacity for ho was an old fireman from the London and North Western line previous to his working in the sheds of the Great Northern. Robert Strickland raid be war the head guard of the ex press down-train on the day in question. lie was aware of the 60th rule, which enjoined the application of the breaks by the guard immediately on the alarm being given by the driver. lie heard no signal of that kind given by the driver of the express between King's-cross and the point of the collision. There was a whistle at the platform, but that was the only one be heard. There were three breaks in the train braider the engine break, and he. thought the train was going at a rate of between 30 and 40 miles as they went into the Homey station. lie did nut notice any slackening of the speed until the moment of the The day was Sae. lie was • little hurt in the hand by jumping off the train. The collision took place as soon as he jumped, and it weeny.r before he got us. The collision, the whistle, and his jumping off, were all about simul taneous. Cross-examined—He did not keep a look out before they reached Hornsey station, and he did not ober rve any signal before the collision. Between London and Hornsey he was engaged sorting his letters and pared.. That was the rea son why he was not keeping a look-out. He had applied' the breaks before he jumped out. It was exactly one minute past five o'clock by his watch when they left King's-crass. He had been several months a guard of the express train ' • but he had not been employed on that train for a month before the accident, except for one journey. The express usuall passed Horusey station eight or ten minutes past five, according as they left King's-cross. lie-examined—He was not above a yard from the break, and could put it on immediately he heard any signal. He applied the break before he jumped off; but, seeing it was useless, he jumped in order to save himself. Putting on the break was all he could do towards stopping the tram. The case for the prosecution having been brought to • close, Mr. Clarkson said it would now be for the magistrate to take what course he might think fit. The young woman, Mrs. Harrison, however, was still in a dangerous state, and it was just possible that the result of the injuries she had sustained might be such as to necessitate a graver investi gation of the matter, though he earnestly hoped the case would turn out otherwise. _ _ Mr. Rawlings said, if it was to be understood that the evidence against the defendants was now brought to a con elision, it would be his duty to address such observations to the bench on their behalf as he thought necessary; but he wished, is the first instance, to know whether it was the intention of the bench to deal summarily with the ease. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was very much in the hands of the counsel on both sides; but he thought, considering the present state of Mrs. Harrison, a single magistrate would act in a very great hurry indeed if he were to close the case in its present shape that day, as something might happen which would bring it under consideration in another form. Mr. Rawlings had a perfect right to comment upon the evidence that had been adduced, and he should be happy to hear him either on that or any subsequent day ; but Pond deriag the present condition of Mrs. Harrison, he thought it would be prudent to adjourn the inquiry for the present. Of course in the event of anything serious happening to that lady, Mr. Rawlings would have a perfect right to have all the evidence taken over again es hay fresh charge which might then be brought agaimet Ms defendants. Mr. Rawlings said he did set wish to address the bench on behalf of the defendantkushes the magistrate intended to decide the case on this oessisim Mr. Tyrwhltt raid that so i tie could do so, con sidering the premien. onaiM of Mrs. Harrison. He thought the OM V. one that should ge before a judge and hury, seppeslini ewes that nothing Ewe serious were to appen tees hely in question; Is, the growing frequency of soollooto of this kind rendered it in the highest degree necessary for the public advantage that they should be in vestigated before a superior tribunal. Mr. Rawlings observed that the question wee whether hie clients were really the parties who ought to be sent before a jury at all. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lf you ask me whether there is evidence to go to a jury, I certainly think there is ; but I have not the slightest idea of dealing with the case itself. The inquiry wm then adjourned to a future day, in order that the result of the injuries received by Mn.Raz rison may be ascertained. ANOTHER COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL. PORTIMOSITIi, Sur. 7. steam-ueeel, Muter Com- mending Belem, returned to this port to-day from Ply. mouth, with a company of Royal Artillery. On Monday night, after leaving Plymouth, she got into collision with a merchant vessel under the following circumstances :—At a quarter-past nine o'clock at night, the Start Light bearing N. one mile and a half distant, aad the ship steering B. 8., a light was dessried a head. It wee at coos supposed to be that of a vessel running down Channel, and the Rho demanding' helm was put to port, and her head brought to B.E. S. The approaching easel came on the steamer's port bow, and was kept there till she came close to, when she suddenly starboerded her helm, and opened her three mute. When a collision appeared evident, the steamer's engines were immediately stopped and reversed; and al though this did not avert the collision, it p d its being of the serious character it would have been bad the vessel being going at full speed. As it wu, the Rhada manthus struck the merchantmen obliquely about the Lien chains, the former's bowsprit grazing the side of the the latter to her stern. The captain of the merchantman called out after the collision, "My helm's sport." His vessel was a large ship, with a poop to it. The sides of the vessel being chequered, it was apparently an American liner. A number of passengers were on deck, and who after the collision called out, " We are going down ; lower your boats." Mr. Belem, however, observing that the merchantman con tinued her course, concluded that no damage wu done to her. He, however, fired two guns, to induce her to bring to, and burnt two blue lights. In addition to this, he ran after her for au hour and a half, in cue she should require aid • but she sailed much futer than the Rhadamanthus could steam, and left the latter behind. The damage inflicted on the stesmer consisted of her jib-boom, figure head, and part of the knee being carried away. It wu at first reported this morning, on the arrival of the Rhadamanthus, that the merchantman had sunk, and _, that all hands had perished ; but we believe that the damages sustained by her were not sufficiently serious to even cause her to run into Plymouth for repair. CORK AND BANDON RAILWAY.—An extraordinary general meeting of this company took place yesterday at the Alms, Oramehurch-street, for the purpose of enabling the company, by a formal resolution, to re-borrow certain sums of money, hi rotofore borrowed and paid off. Mr. Stephen Lewis occupied the chair, and proposed a resolu tion to the effect that the company be authorised to re borrow on mortgage or bond a sum of 11,0001., which sum was by the authority of a previous meeting borrowed on mortgage or bond, and has since been paid off. Mr. T. Wentworth seconded the resolution, which was carried, and the basing terminated. GLOUCESTER. A public dinner was given at the Shire Hall, in Gloucester, on Tuesday evening, to General Sir Joseph Thackwell, 0.C.8., in testimony of the meritorious ser vices which he has rendered to his country. The gallant general is intimately connected with Gloucester, and prior to his leaving this country for the Indian campaign, in which he so highly distinguished himself, be resided there fir several years. Hence on his return from India the inhabitants of Gloucester invited him to a public din ner, and he accepted the invitation. The Mayor of Glou cester, W. WAsuaOvarc, Esq., presided, and among the company present were Earl Fitahardinge, Sir Martin Craw ley Boevey, Bart. ; W. P. Price, Esq., M.P. ; E. Baker, Esq.; H. Thackwell, Esrl.; Rev. Dr. Clamon; P. B. Purnell, Esq., county chairman, &c. Earl Ellenborough would have been present but was attending a ceremonial of a totally different character, viz., the funeral of the late Sir Charles Napier. The Mayor proposed Sir Joseph Thack well's health, who responded in an interesting address. Several other toasts suitable to the occasion having been given and duly acknowledged, the company separated. MELANCHOLY WRECK OF THE REBECCA. We regret to annonnoe the total loss of this vain able ship, with, unhappily, many lieu, which occurred on the west coast of Van Diemen's Land, between Sandy Cape and Arthur Hirer, while on her passage to Sydney, from London, with • cargo of wines, beer, mad other articles. She sailed from Gravesend on the 2nd of last December, in charge of Mr. Sheppard, the master, the number of her hands consisting of about thirty—Mrs. Sheppard ao companying her husband. After starting she encoun tered some very heavy gales, and was obliged to put bate Fowey (Cornwall), whence she sailed on the 18th of January, and touched at the Cape Verd Islands for provisions. On the 29th of April the ship reached the west coast of Van Diemen's land, and while sailing at the rate of eight-and-a-half knots an hour, with the wind north-west, steering north-east, she struck violently on a reef—at 9.30 p.m. Her helm was immediately put down, and mainyud put back, but she contained to drive on shore fast, and within an hour was thrown on her broadside, the sea washing completely over her. The masts were im mediately cat away in the hope that it would bring her upright, but that failing, a boat was lowered, a nd the second mate and Mrs. Sheppard, wish a lad sad seven sea men, having got into it, pushed off, but almost immediately after capered, and, with the exception of three sea men, all perished alongside the wreck. The seamen swam to the shore. About this time a tremendous sea struck the vessel and swept off the toughest. The master and the remainder of the crew remained on the wreck till 4 o'clock the nest morning, when, finding that the ship was fast breaking up, they resolved to make an at tempt to reach the shore, only aborts quarter of a mile dis tant. Is the attempt Captain Sheppard and several others were drowned, the remainder reaching the beach in a very exhausted state, through a heavy surf which was running all the time ; and oat of 30 men only 11 were saved. The following day the bodies which were wished ashore were duly interred. Search was then made along the beach for food, the crew expecting to find most of the ship's stores, but all that they could discover was a small portiou of bread and seven small ties of herrings. The crew then formed an encampment ; and, having in the course of their travels slam the beach noticed on the sand the footmarks of men and animals, proceeding in • southerly direction, it was re solved to send a party in search of • habitation in that course, but, after two days' absence, they returned without being able to trace • single living creature. During this time the allowance served out was only one herring per day and a cupful of biscuit; but subsequently quantities of bottled ale and porter were washed up from the wreck, which proved most acceptable. They had no means of making a fire. It was then determined that two pieties should start—one to the south and the other to the north—both of which accordingly set out; bat these likewise proved fruitless. After endorimg great privations end suffering for nearly a fort night, they were surprised at the appearance of • dog, which was hailed as the harbinger of their deliver ance. Fearing he might run away they wrote an ga mut of their situation and tied it round his neck. The dog, it appeared, belonged to a gentleman named Burgess, who, with • party, was exploring the country to the south ward. The moment they heard of the wreck, which was by the return of the dog, they set out, and came up with the survivors of the Rebecca on the 23rd day after the ship's loss. The poor fellows were fast sinking when the exploring party came up, sad through their attention and kindness their lives were preserved. On their recovery they set out for liobsrt Town, which they eventually reached in safety. The Rebecca was 550 tons burden, and is understood to have been fully insured. Many of the crew who perished have left families in the metropolis unprovided for. MARIA ANToRIA RAlLWAT.—Traffic for week end ing August 25, 1853, 2334 Corresponding week, 1852, 2191.

Th e l atter i nclude some is: th e wealthier manufacturers and merchants, who spare tin'', for agricultural purposes, although de vo ti ng t h e i r prineipt: attention to commerci a l en t erpr i se. B eing men who in many cases owe their success in life to machinery as applied to manufactures, they of course are anxious to see its ad vantages developed as much as possible by agriculturists, and hence the implement department of the exhibition attracts a good deal of their attention. Among the visitors present were the Right Hon. the Hail of Derby (who, we regret to say, appeared to be suffering much from ill health), Sir Humphrey de Trafford, Wm. Tattoo Egerton, Esq., M.P., Gilbert Greenall, Esq , M.P., the Mayor of Manchester, the Mayor of Warrington, Wm. Allcard, Esq. (late mayor of Warrington), Messrs. Thomas Tattoo of Wy thenshaw, John Ireland Blackburn, Wm. Mercer, of New• ton ; Thomas Harrison, Thomas Parr, and John Harding, of Warrington; James Gorton, T. A. Dodd, of Maccles field ; Dr. Biller, of Itsinford ; and Isaac Pinto] and Wm. Beattie, of Bold Hall. The exhibitionwa; held in a large field near the London , and North Western Railway station. One of its most striking features was the show of horned cattle, which in eluded seven bulls of the short horned breed, and eight others ; and 34 cows and heifers. A fine animal named Arrow, exhibited by Mr. R. C. Lowndes, Club Moor, near Liverpool, and bred by himself, carried off the principal prise of 161. for short horns under four years ; and a bull named Belzoni, bred by th e same gent l e men, also carried off the 10/. prize for short horns under two years old. The next prize, of 81., awarded for bulls of any breed under three and over two years old, was given to Mr. Thomas Forrest, of Spurstow Hall , near Tarporley, for a short horn bred by Mr. Watson. The fifth prise, of 61., was awarded to ' Mr. James Dickinson, of Upholland ; and the sixth (the so eiety's eilver medal) to the Earl of Derby, both for short horns, though open to bulls of any breed. A yearling bull belonging to Mr. Gilbert Grethen, M.P., of Walton-bull, of the Durham breed, carried the silver Liedal fur bulls to serve lays ; but several other bulls received warm commenda tions from the judges, who spoke in high terms of the cattle generally. A short horned cow exhibited by Mr. Henry Ambler, of Watkinson-hall, Halif ax , age d 61 years, won the .51. prize for the best cow of any breed in milk or calf; and Mr. J. W. Patten, M.P., of Bank-hall, Warrington, the second prize of 31. The other successful competitors for prizes for cows and heifers were :—Mr. Forrest, of Stretton, two of 61. and one of 31. ; Mr. H. Ambler, 31. ; Mr. James Gorton, Leedley, near Manchester, 31. aud 51. Mr. E. J. Pemberton, of Sankey-lodge, 21. ; Mr. Thomas Forrest, 31.; Mr.W. J. Pownall, Rostherne, near Altrinch ham, 2/. ; Mr. George Haworth, Lower Darwen, 2/. ; Mr. Gilbert Greenish, 61. The show of horses, about 90 in number, included some good stallions for agricultural purposes, and calculated for drays. There were also some good young horses adapted to agricultural purposes, end a few road , but, as a whole, this class of animals were not so generally excellent of their kind as the horned cattle. There were a good many pens of sheep, but Lancashire exhibitions in this de partment are seldom very first rate, and they may be passed by. There was a show of pi gs , equa l i n num b er, but vastly superior in kind, and such as would scarcely be matched in say other county. A new feature of the exhibition, introduced this year for the second time, was the show of poultry. The collection was greatly superior to that of last year, and included some splen did birds. There were two long covered galleries, containing 11.5 pens filled with poultry of various kinds, and the judges pronounced it one of the best exhibitions of the kind that has taken plan in the country. The attraction was very great to the fairer portion of the visitors, and many hundreds of ladies lingered about the galleries for a consi derable time. The competitors included several ladies also, including Wilson Patten, of Bank-hall, and Mrs. Townley Parker, of Aetley-hall. Captain W. W. liornby, of Knowsley-cottage, near Preece', was the most successful exhibitor, carrying off the prizes (chiefly of 11. each) for the best speckled or grey Dorking, this beat Spanish, the best Poland, the best silver laced bantam, and the best game fowls; and the prize also for the best Spanish chickens. Mr. T. B. Legh, of Golborne park, took the prise for buff Cochio China breed, Mr. John Taylor for the best silver-pencilled Hamburg, and Mr. George Fell, for gold-spangled Hamburg. Mr. Jahn Kay Far worth, of Alderley Edge, exhibit e d a fine pen of Norfolk turkeys, but the prime was awarded to Mr. Edward Woollet Wilmot, of Huhn., near Congleton, for two beautiful spe cimens of the wild American breed. There were some choice breed. of ducks and geese, for which prises were awarded. Amongst the extra stock in the poultry depart ment were some good Cochin-China fowls, bred by Mr. W. J. Oliver, of Reddish, near Stockport (two of which were marked for sale at 4/.), and some chickens of the diver pheasant breed, belonging to Mr. Edward Aliso", of Park Hall, near Chotley, highly commended by the judges. The show of agricultural produce was meagre. The agricultural implement department of the exhibition was well worthy of notice, and it was satisfactory to observe that they were of a more select character than in former years, including only good and efficient machines which have taken their place in the yards of the best agri culturists. The greatest novelties were the reaping and digging machines. The public trial bad taken place on Tuesday, on the farm of Mr. Warburton, two miles from ' Wartingtou. The patent digging, or forking machine, naturally excited a good deal of attention in consequence of Mr. Mechi's remarks upon It, published in the daily press. The one exhibited belonged to Messrs. Richmond and Chandler, Manchester, and was drawn by six horses. The forks tear up the soil, when in operation, mixing and pul verising it to a filth as fine as a garden bed. The reapers tried included one by Mr. William Harken, of Knutsford, which cut grain exceedingly well, but failed in its delivery; and a novel machine by Mr. David Harkes, of Knntsford, brought forward for the first time in public. It is constructed upon the principle of a re volving cutter, the first motion being given by a pair of bevil wheels. The machine cuts clover well, and is used for mowing gnus and cutting corn. With further improve ments in contemplation, it is ezonted to be successful ano ther year; but at the present trial neither 'machine acted to the satisfaction of the judges, who recommended that the 101. prise should not be awarded, but should be divided between the competitors to meet expenses. Huiney's ori ginal machine, as extended in 1861, was up to work, and cut standing corn to perfection, the only objection to it being the delivery behind instead of at the side. The Im proved machine on this principle, by Dray and Co., London (having a tilting platform), with other oelsbrated makes, such as the British Bell, and M'Cormiek's American, had no doubt been drawn away from the show here to be present at the great trial at Stirling, for a prise of 601. Messrs. Richmond and Chandler had the largest collection of implements we oversaw them exhibit on such en occasion, and carried away the society's medal and a 41. prise. Mr. Wm. Hakes, of Knutsford ; Mr. Wm. Wood, of the same place ; Mr. John Whitehead, Preston ,• Mr. David Harks. , Dr. Shier, Mr. W. H. Peaks, and Mews. Forshaw and Co., Liverpool ; Messrs. Ksaly and Co., and Mr. Robert Dogs*, London ; each exhibited instruments, and carried eff prizes. A dinner was to take place in the evening, at which Mr. W. Tattoo Egerton would preside. STRIKE OP SEAmemassza, &c.—A very number of seamstresses' employed at the most inferio i rt seription of under clothing, have, at length, refused to work for the miserable pittance doled out to them ; female waistcoat makers, and those employed on slop clothing have alm tented tout for an advance of wages ; and the tailors, sap soaker', and others employed in the large exporting hems, have made a demand for an increase of pay, alleging dant** advance that has taken place in the prices of breed, meat, coals, and other necessaries, requires that • re=ante advance should be made in their pay. There ly a doubt that the request will be complied with, as saveral shipping houses have large orders to complete, and offers of advanced wages were made yesterday by a great number. THE SIIuENAILEItt? STRIKE IN DEVONPOBT.—On Tuesday evening a crowded meeting was held at the Tem peranos-hall, Fore-street, to consider the demands of the workmen and to enlist public sympathy in their behalf. Mr. J. Elms presided. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Primary, J. Truecott, Axworthy, and others on be half of the workmen ; and Mr. Reed spoke in vindication of the course he had pursued, and promised to advance the wages to his men when the price of leather was reduced. Resolutions favourable to the claims of the workmen were , and, just prior to the meeting dissolving, Mr. t a a7e l y proposed, which was seconded and unanimously adopted, that the masters should meet the following morn ing and endeavour to come to amicable arrangements with the men. This having been decided on by the employers present the meeting dissolved. Another meeting of the men was announced for the following (Wednesday) even ing, to hear the decision of the employers. A vote of thanks leaving been given to the chairman, the meeting separated. SHIPWRECK.—On the night of Friday last the brig Benevolent, belonging to Mr. Martin Hitchens, of Plymouth, laden with iron, from Cardiff for Hamburg, after having sprung a leak, was run into by a strange vessel, supposed to be a foreign brig, when off Beachy Head, and sunk. The crew, some in their night clothes, escaped in a boat, red were picked up by a pilot lugger, who landed them at Hastings Beach, where they were assisted by the agency of the Shipwreck Mariners Royal Benevolent Society. POSTAGE STAMPS.—There is a provision in the New Stamp Act (16 & 17 Vic., cap. 59) which will take effect from the 10th of next month, to facilitate the pur chase of postage stamps or stamped envelopes without a license. It is provided by the 15tk section that the Post master.
