CHARGE OF FELONY AGAINST A MERCHANT AND OTHERS. Wilkinson and Co. had lost any yr;merty, and no proof that any of the property produced was theirs. Vie magistrates thought there was sufficient evidence to prove that a felon had been committed, but this charge applied to Spink White alone. Mr. Barr said the others wet- , charged with receiving this property, with a guilty ltnewledge. Mr. Ferns contended that there was no preat of suppres- Sion, or anything else, from which to inter a guilty know ledge ; on the contrary, in the mast open manner possible it had been admitted that Steel received three bobbins of an old friend, and Mr. Bisenstuck told Mr. Ludolph of it. They might have acted imprudenly, but not criminally. Mr. Nelson said if it was admitted that these parties had acted imprudently, it was not for the justices hut for • jury to say where imprudence ended and crime commenced. Then the flu was in an unsaleable state, and had been ob• rained in a surreptitious manner from wcrkruen. As to the openings of the transaction, Mr. Liseartuele had only told h:s own agent. The Justices, after giving the matter a good deal of con sideration, said they were not then prepared to give a deci sion upon the points submitted, hut would a 'jcuin tha exa mination uu , il 10 o'clock ou the follewing morning, to which hour the prisoners would he remanded. Mr. Ferns applied far bai, but the justices dec ined to accede to the application, and the pri soners were removed in custody. On Thursday morning the prisoners were again placed in the prisoners' dock, before the same ra ig'.strates as sat on Wednesday. No further evidence wa , taken, but each of the pr.sonera was asked, in the usual cautionary form, if they wished to say anything. The prisoner White said Mr. Steel sent me u note down last week to say he wished to see me. I was to uat him at the Central Market Hotel about 9 ...'elock. I went and saw him there, and he said he was come over ::ere to Lords to order some machinery for tine spinning, and asked my opinion upon some to spin from lad to 240 L 3. I toll Lim I though Mach a ay.d Marsh w, re file best spinners goii.g, that we were working by their mac :incry at present, and upon the old plea again. that is with a bobbin running uoon a thin washer; And that we did away with the drag hand. Steel said to me I should like to sec ono or two. I told him we were spinning very tine sorts and i would brit.' him one or two different sorts to la.ik at, if he would lel A case of considerable importance and interest ieecupnd the attention of the Leeds Justices for more then four hours on Wednesday, when three parties were charted, the one with stealing from the flax mill of Messrs. Wi:kin , len and Co., at Heusi...l, a quantity of bob! ins with flax yarn thereon, and the others with feloniously receiving the Paine, l' knowing them to have been stolen. The person charged with stealing the property is Smirk White, an ovorlooker, in the employment of Messrs. Wilkinson and Co., and the reagens charged with feloniously reecieing the property are iMr. Bernard Eisenstuck and Mr. Thomas S eel. Mr. E.sen- stuck is a member of the firm of Messrs. Oldenhove, Eisen stuck, nod Co., eateu.ive yarn merchants and flax spinners, who carry on business at Bruss. le, and have flax mills at Florivale, near Louvaine. The firm alluded to Is of the highest respectability and standing, carrying on a large business, Mr. Oalenhove being the Hanoverian eons& at Fs:tassels. The prisoner Steel is the manager uf tae winks at Florivale, and was formerly in the employment of Messrs. Holdsworth and B , flax spinners, Benito, and there fore would probably be acquainted with the hands of Messrs. Wilkinson and Co, The circumstances out of which this chug. has arisen are as follow. About three weeks ago, Mr. Eisenstuck and his manager, Mr. Thomas Steel,came to Leeds, Vie former taking up his quarters at the Golden Lion Inn, Brief g ite, and the latter going to lodgo with his sister-in-law, Mrs. Kay, of Wneeleestreet, Bank. During his stay In Leeds, .Me. Eisenstuck frequently com municated with Mr. Henry Ludolph, merchant, of this town, who is the ccere Lied Leeds cerresteinilent of the firm, and on on' oeceeion desired the I eter to procure him samples of ft ix yarns of various kinds. Mr. Ludolph declined to get what was asked for in conse quence of the wide range of samples require', which he felt sure the spinet rs would object to, but he uid get sonic ramp es. Mr. Eisenstuck on one occasion mentioned that he had seen some of Messrs. Wilkinson and Co.'s flex, which he liked better than any other, aid on Monday last he told Mr. Ludolph that he had obtained through the working department of Messrs. Wilkinson and Co.'s mill, the eemples which Mr. Luiloleh had not pr cured for him. Immediately after he had left Mr. Ludelph's counting bowie, Mr. %Wilkinson accidentally walked in, and in the course of converretien, Mr. Lad olph congratulated him on what he but heard, this• his dem manufactared the best flax peril in Leeds. Mr. Wilkinson asked him where he had heard that. when Mr. Ludolph stated that hie infurmaat was Mr. Eisenetuck. This led to an explanation, and Mr. Wilkinson, finding on inquiry that three gametes h been obtained by improper means, immediately mile an affidavit before the magistrates, obtained a warrant hir the appre hension of the parties, anti entrusted it to the chief con stable to execute ; and that officer, assisted by Mr. Super intendent Greenlee, apprehended the three prisoners en Tuesday and Wednesday last. The ea:amino:ion* were taken before D. W. Nell and Wil.iam Pewee's, Bops. Mr. Geo. Brook Nels,o, solicitor, appeared for the pro secution, and Mr. Ferns, s oliciter, defended the prisoners. The following is an abstract of the evidence taken against the prisoners: Mr. Edward Read, chief constable, said, on Tuesday he received a search warrant, and proceeded, along with Mr. Superintendent °earthen, to search the baggage of Mr. Ber nard Eisenstuck, who was then at the Golden Liao Inn. A portmanteau, in his lodging room, was veered by a lock smith, and iti it he found a paper parcel, which on being ualoosed. was found to contain tierce small bobbins, each having flax yarn wound thereon, being wrapped up in white paper, on the outside of which was written the memo of Mr. Wilkinson, also some figurer, and the names of M,s-rs. Maelea and March, and Messrs. Lawson and Co. (machine maker.). Besides there he found two other bob bins loose in the portmanteau, one a large and the other a small bobbin. These thirteen bobbins he produced. Aoout nine o'clock the same evening, ho went to the Midland Station, aud there mat Seperintendent Greuhan, who was in the company of the prisoner Steel, and on their getting out of a carriage be apprehended Steel and 'auk him to the police office, where he read over the warrant issued for his apprehension. Steel, on hearing the warrant read, said he had not stolen any bobbins from Messrs. Wilkinson and Co.'s; that the bobbins were given to him by Spink White; and that he would tell all he knew about ir, with out any lies. In answer to a question put to hien, he far ther said that Mr. Eisenstuck was then at Hull, hot would return to Leeds on the following morning. About an hour after this, he and Mr. Orauhan, accompanied by Mr. Thomas Briggs, the foreman to Messrs. Wilkinson and Co., went in search of the prisoner Spink White. Mr. Br.egs found him at the Turk's Head Inn, Briggate, and he was put into a cab and :owned to the police-utfice. Whilst in the cab, he was observed to take something out of his pocket, which on examination proved to be a small panicle three bobbins, one labelled " 210 leas, Medea and Maroh,two-inch pitch," another "80 leas," and the third " 110 leas." He asked the prisoner what he had to say about them, and he replied, " I have nothing to say about there." Mr. Superintendent Grauban said that acting under the Instructions of the chief constable, he on Tuesday proceeded IS the house of Mrs. Kay, in Wheeler-street, the sister-in law of the prisoner Steel, and searched some luggage which be found there belonging to him. In a hoz he Gland four bobbins, and on a table in the same lodging-room, three ether bobbins and four " flyers," which he now produced. After this he SiSist , d Mr. Read to search the luggage of Mr. Eisenstuck, at tire Golden Lien, and at night went to the Castleford station to meet the Hull train, expecting that the prisoner would come by it. On the arrival of the train le found the prisoner S:eel in one of the carriages, and got into it, but said nothing to Steel until he arrived at Leeds, where they were met by Mr. Read, chief constable, who held the warrant for his apprehensi n. At four o'clock that (Wednesday) morning he proceeded to Hull, and there he found Mr. Bernard Eisen stack at the Railway Hotel, whom he took into custody on the aateority of a warrant, which he read over to him. Mr. Eisenstuck, on hearing the charge, raid that one day last week a man named Speak White came to the Golden Lion coffee room, when he and Steel were there, and gave the latter a small quantity of bobbins, with flax yarn upon them, and that Steel gave them to him. lie also said that he was not aware that White had stolen them ; that Steel, who was his manager, had had no orders to procure him any bobbins from Me-srs. Wilkinson's workpeople, but if he had done so it was no doubt done for the benefit of his employers. He also said that he had ordered 4,0001. or 5,0001. worth of flax machinery, and that as Steel had given him those bobbins bethought he would take care of them, to see if they would fit the machinery he had so ordered. lie then brought Mr. Eisenstuck to Leeds. Mr. Thomas Briggs, principal overlooker for Messrs. Wilkinson and Co., said he knew the prisoner Steel when IN worked at the adjoining mill, Messrs. lioldsworth and Co.'s, but he had not latterly known him to reside in Leeds. The prisoner Spink White had been employed by Messrs. Wilkinson and Co. as overloeker for about four years, and had the superintendence of one of the principal , spinning rooms. The bobbins produced by Mr. Read were like what were used at Messrs. Wilkinson and Co.'s mill, and the yarn upon them was such as they spun. Oa the ClL%in which the bobbins were now wrapped was writ technical names of the spinning frames ash se they a* _the fi gures denoting the size of the yarns. Meet di OM bobbins were made of hoz-aood, some of Meet bift der peenliar shape, and only introduced into their mill dinsles hr the last thew or four weeks • they were manufac. Mimi Messrs. Wilkinson and C o. by Messrs. J. Brown sal Mss. From the appearance of the yarn on the bob bin had been wound upon them within a week, not big gibs dry. The yarn on the bobbins found in the Nadi when White was apprehended was of the same kind, but rather more wet. The bobbins prodkeed by Mr. Gran k= wets also similar to those used in the mill, but not of the sew pattern. The yarn upon these bobbins was not in selesble state. Join Barker, bobbin maker in the employment of Messrs. J. Brown and Sons, said they had made bobbins of the new shape foe Messrs. Wilkinson and Co., but only within the last two or three weeks, and that the bad not made any of the same shape for anybody else. He had no doubt but those produced were part of what Mesas. Brown and Sons had made for Messrs. Wilkinson and Co. me have them bask again. I did so, and took him several sorts. We then left the Central M- rket Hotel, and I let him look at them. I did not see him any more that night, but I was to see him again ou Monday night, when 1 was to have them returned to me. Tha is 11l 1 have Lissy. It was at the (laden Lon where I let Steel look at the bob bins. When I sent to John Lee fur a 133bbiu I tcld hint I would return them back in a day or two. 1 did nut take them with any intention to defraud Mr. Wiltinsou, but merely to let Steel look at them. I was to see him again on Monday night, and I went to look fur hint, but he wu not there ; I was informed that he had gone out of town somewhere. I intended on Tuesday night to go to Ice him, to let hitt look at the other three bobOins ' which were of a different sort; and L expected to take the rut bug with me, but Mr. Read and Mr. Thomas Briggs came to me, and toll me Mr. Wilkinson wanted to see me II: the Turk's Ileadiard; and when I got there they told me what there was to do. I said nothing t 3 it there ; they then got a coach and brought me down here. This other gentleman, Mr. Eisenstuek, had nothing to do with it. Thomas Steel said—l I:cline to say naythiog at present. Mr. Eisenstuck stated as foilowa—l never thought, nor could I think to do any harm by accepting from Mr. S;cel some bobbins with fine yarns he offered me. My purpose in going over to Leeds was to get machinery to spin arch fine numbers, and to e :ive orders to a machine maker toe such machinery to ?Juin and Marsh ; I know that such a machine maker had made machints fur several first-rate mills in the town of Leeds, and conirguently it was of late re.d to me to know if the mulling maker could make the same machines fur me. I never gave any order to any one in the world, nor took any step to get such yarns in any way through lower people; that is a fact, on whin I can swear._ . . . . . . . Mr. "'swoon then said that the bench intended to ad journ the final hearing of this case until ten o'clock on Saturday morninog ; and in the meantime they would con sent to liberate Mr. Eisrcstuck and Thomas Steel on bail; but they should not accept bail fur Whi:e, who must re main in custody. They should require Mr. Eiseastuck to enter into his own moul-Antes in the sum of 500/., and find one or two other sureties in the like sum ; Mr. Steel they should require to enter into the like recognisanc a, himself in the sum of 1001., and one or two other sureties in the same sum. _ . . . In the course of the morning Mr. Henry Ludolph, merchant, and Mr. Thomas Greenwood, machine•maker, a partner in the firm of Mcur•. P. Fairbairo and Co.. of Leeds, were offered sad accepted as sureties ; and the bail baring been completed, the two prisoners were liberated. --- - -. Richard Dickinson, another overlooker in the prosecu tors' mill. produced • note he received last week from the prisoner Whits, salting him fur bobbins of two or three kinds of yarn, which he sent to him by • boy named Chas. Baker. Mr. Henry Ludolph said he was a merchant in Leeds, and dealt in flax, yarn, and other articles. He was ac quinted with Mr. Eisenstack and Thomas Steel—the former being the partner of Mr. Francis Oldenhove, the Hance. varies' Consul in Brussels, and the latter the manager at their mill. The firm had a place of business in Brussels, and mills at Florivale, near Louvain . He (Mr. L.) was the correspondent of the firm at Leeds, and did their busi ness there. He had received letters from Mr. Eisenstadt, and in that way had become acquainted with his hand writing; his belief was that the writing on the paper in which the bohhine produced were wrapped, was Mr. Eisenstuck's, but he generals y wrote better. Mr. Eisenstuck hid called upon him many times since hi be came to Leeds, and had asked m to get him samples of yarn for sale is Belgium. Hs accordingly wrote for some, whish he got and sent to him. Last Monday Mr. Eisenstadt called at his counting house, and while speaking about some samples of yarn which he had wished toobtain through him, he said he had seas some yarn spun at Mr. Wilkinson's establishment which pleased him better than any other he had seen. lie said he hat seen some bobbins with the yarn upon them. By Mr. Nelson—Before this Mr. Eisenstuck had desired him to get some samples of yarn fram the spinners here, but he declined, in consequence of the extensive range of 1 the samples required, as he knew the spinners would not like the trouble. Afterwards he (Mr. L.) agreed to get samples in smaller quantities, and applied to Mr. Wilkinson by letter fur some. There was no other information which the prisoner wished me to get which I declined. lie said he had got some of Mr. Wilkinson's yarn. Ile said he received them from the working department, from the lower orders. lie seemed glad to have got the information, but I don't remember his saying anything about it being worth 2001. to him. I sh.uld wish to give this explanation. After he left my counting-house on Mon day, Mr. Wilkinson came in. I referred to what had posed just before, and congratulated hint that according to what I had heard, he was spinning the best yarn in Leeds, meaning the finest. Ile ixquired how I gat my infants:len, and this led to the explanation that I had received it from Mr. Est n,tur!..

We have again to record the shock of' an earth quake, which was felt very ger nerally through tl.is city and its neighbourhood on the night of Sunday lest, at about' 0 minutes after 11 o'clock. The present visitation was not only more perceptible than that experienced in November last, but, from the time at which it occurred, a greater number of persons had visible proof of its effects, felt the shock, and heard its accompanying noise or explosion. We have heard from a great number of persons (all agreeing as to the time) the various sensations produced. Those who were in beds felt their beds move, and heard a new as if a door were suddenly closed by a gust of wind, and the house consequently shaken. Those who had not retired to rest felt the shock, saw articles of fur niture move, and heard the explosion. At the city prison, the inspector and serjeent of police saw a table in the room shaken, by which a glen of water thereon was spilled, they heard a loud noise similar to a cart passing near, and on the inspector looking at his watch, he found the time to be 20 minutes past 11 o'clock. There were seve ral parties in other parts of the town who had experienced similar alarming evidences of a shock, and the policeman en duty distinctly heard a rumbling noise, and felt slight shock., and other indications of an earthquako. We hear of many persons who were aro alarmed on being awoke, that sleep was afterwards banished, and they arose and dressed themselves in fear and trembling. Others rung their chain. ber bells, believing that some persons were in their apart ments, or had broke into their houses. Except the fright, however, we are glad ant to have heard cf any injury to person or property. Oa the banks of the Wye the shock appears to have been more violent; Mr. Bottrel, of the Friars, informs us that his house was so much disturbed, and he report so loud, that he immediately got up, be lieving there were robbers effecting an entrance to the premises. Several persoes in the vicinity of the tier r de scribe the shocks as if their beds were lifted up, and the sound immediately succeeding as of a violent shaking of doors and windows. At Broomy-hill a person was dis turbed by feeling the bed move, and hearing a noise similar to the falling of a heavy piece of timber. In several parts of the town the jingling of glasses and china was dis tinctly beard, accompanied with a rumbling noise, as if passing under the house of each observer. The inhabi tants of the parishes of Ewy sa , Harold, Peterchurch, Hentehurch, Abbeydore, and Llenvihangel, seem to ban been generally aroused by the shock. We learn from the respected vicar of the first-named parish that, not guessing the fact, and being awoke with a violent shaking similar to the shutting of an outside door, and the windows rattling, he went down stain to examine the premises, and all with whom be afterwards convened described the shock in the same m The weather, like the wind, has been variable during the put few days. On Saturday it war fair, but extremely cold, with the wind N.E. ; on Sunday at times it was very warm, the wind during the day being nearly westerly, or veering a point or two towards the north. The night was extremely dark, and the wind shifted to the east, where it remained during Monday. It will be remembered that the earthquake felt on the morn ing of Tuesday, the 9th of November, was succeeded by disastrous floods and long-continued rain, the effects of which are not yet removed in many places. What will follow the late earthquake remains to be proved. The vi bration lasted for about three essaids, and is generally tie. scribed as proceeding from swath to north.—Hereford Journal. ME ACCIDENT ON TUE NEWCASTLE AND TYNE- YOUTH RATLVIAT.-WI Thursday Night—The toyed jury, after a lene•eited investigation, have _ the fol lowing verdict:—" That William Stephenson came to his death by the engine No. 10i running off the line of rall, and falling over the embankment at the west end of the Willington Viaduct of the Newcastle and Tynemouth Hail way, on the 2nd March last. They also fi nd, from the evi dence brought before them, that the line was not in a good and safe state, and that gross negligence in the manage. meet bad been manifested in allowing the ballast takes from the nigh line at the Willington Viaduct, while under repair, to be laid upon the south line so as to render it demeans. They are of opinion that a strange engine man ought not to have been sent down the line without some caution given to him uto the repairs going on at the Wellington-bridge. They are also of opinion that some legislative measure should be passed making it compulsory in railway companies not to remove a single vestige of the destruction of the line, carriages, &c., bat that everything remain intact until inspected by a coin potent person. The proceedings concluded about siz o'clock in the evening. DRAM OF H. J. CoNYERs, E4Q.—We regret to announce the demise, after a few days' ilium, wi Mr. Henry John Conyers, of Copt Hall, Esse:, the respected head of one of the oldest families in the kingdom. Mr. Conyers in early life embraced the military profession, and served for um- years in the Coldstream Guards. He repnt meted his native county in several parliaments, and has been for a long time Colonel of the West Essex Militia. The deceased gentleman was an admirable type of an English sportsman—his kennel has always been highly cele brated, and he was himself one of the oldest masters of hounds in England. THE PORTASIOCTII DOCKYARD SAWYERS.—The sawyers at work in this dockyard held a meeting on Thursday night in reference to the system on which they arc paid for their work, and by which they aresubjected to deductions that some times amount, they allege, at the end of the week to a day's pay. They resolved upon waiting spas Admiral Superintendent Fanahawe upon the subject, and placing the case before him, toiether with a letter detail ing the whole facts of their case. A deputation accord ingly waited on the gallant admiral this day (Friday) at his office in the dockyard, but not being there at the time the visit resulted in nothing. Another is to be 1 , ,61 when he is at liberty to receive it in order that the tom ~laia's of the men may be forwarded t.) the Ad oimity. Asa hotly tthe men have hitherto acted in the matter with perf, et dis cretion, but some of their number have expressed a deter mination to leave the )std rather than continue iu it under the present system. MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE AT SEA. DUBLIN, THURSDAY EVENING. The Northern 'nig of this day has the following particulars of a calamitous occurrence which has taken place in the Irish Sea : VA,: regret to have to record a most melancholy catas trophe, one which, in its principal features, possesses a sad resemblance to thn loss of the ill-fated steamer Victoria, with its yet unknown and unnumbered complement of hu man beings. The accident to which we allude took place on Tuesdayy• night, in the Irish Sea, some miles north of the Calf of Man, during the voyage of the steamier Minerva frail Liverpool to Belfast; and the facts, as we have collected them from tho most authentic sources, arc as follows:—The Minerva left Liverpool on Tared iy after noon, and hal proceeded on her voyage to Belfast to about midway between the Calf of Man and the South !trek Lighthouse, when a vessel war observed right under her bows, and so close that to escape collision seemed im possible. The hour was about 10 o'clock, the weather had been very hazy ; and the ill fated vessel had, it is stated, shown no light, till the steamer's bowsprit was almost aver her bulwarks. Then a lantern was raised up from her deck; but, previous to that, we are informed, the helm of the Minerva was put hard-a.port, the engines were re versed, and every effort ni ale to avoid the alision, but without avail. Thoy came in contact with each other; and us the space of a second the ill-fated vessel and her crew were engulphed. No trace of either could to seen, notwith standing the most diligent searC.l. The chances that one out of all on beard eseupel to tell the tale ore slight indeed ; and it is probable th.t the name, even, of the vessel will be unknown for mon•l.e, perhaps, years, to come. The facts of the melancholy catastrophe are stated as fol. lows by Captain Lyall, of the Minerva:—•• I regret having to report an accident which has occurred, with, I pre same, :he loss of life. Oa Tmsilay, the 2011 instant, the Minerva left Liverpool, at 2a. 4 int. p.m., on her voyage to Belfast. At 10h. 45m. p.m., being then half-ways between the Calf of Man and the Bluth Rock Lighthouse, a vessel was nportcd at the head of the steamer, when every eats , lion was made to prevent a collision, but unfortunately without effect—neituer vessel nor crew could be rendered any as•istaaee. She instantly dimppeared. All I could observe was that she had two masts, arid that no light was shown until immediately berme the accident took place. As soon as the light was observed the helm was put hard a port anal the engines stopped and backed, but rut with the dasir.,l effect. One of our boats was, as soon as prac ticable, lowered, and every effort made, but no vestiges were to be found. The Minerva has not sustained the slightest damage. Arrived in Belfast at 4.50 a.m. on Wed needey." STATIMENT AT TUR tOLICR COURT. At the sitting of the police-court, yesterday, Captain John Duncan was called, amid the greatest attention of a lalte court. Mr. Verner-1 believe, Captain Dunetn, you have some statement to make to the bench. Captain Duncan—Your worships, I was on my passage from Liverpool to this port, last night, on board the steamer Minerva, and when about fifteen miles northward of the Isle of Man, the steamer came into collision with a schooner. A few minutes before the collisiou, I was stand ing at the forward part of the steamer, and saw a vessel cumin; from the northward. We were then nearing the South light. Shortly afterwards the collision took place, and no Oran was made by those in charge of the steamer to save thos'., in the schooner. The Minerva was in charr ef the mate at the time ; and I called, before the collision, two of the hands standing on the bridge " Fat God's sake shift your helm," but no change was ma de in the steamer's course. I just then heard a voice from the schooner cry eta "Oh! this is murder," and she then went down. (Ser.sation.) Mr. Verner—Where was the captain of the Minerva at this period? Captain Duncan—The captain was below, and the steamer was in charge of the mate. I could not say whether the mate was on deck at the time of the disaster or not ; but 1 raw the captain on deck afterwards Them were no me fiend made ut the time of the occurrence to save the people in the schooner. The steamer was going at the rate of about twelve knots an hour—she, at any rate, ran at about that rote from the time she left Liverpool until abs arrived at the scene of the disaster. Mr. V —Could the schooner have been seen at a distance from the steamer 1 Captain Duncan—She could have been visible at a dis tance of two miles. It was about a quarter to eleven o'clock when the collision took place. The Minerva had iights up, but the schooner was so close when I observed her :hat I could not sea whether she had any lights up or nut. I may now state it as my opinion to your worships, that, bad those on board the steamer been doing their duty, the disaster would nut have taken place. (Sensation.) There was a man at the helm at the time, but it was not shifted when I gave the alarm. The Minerva was obliged to stop atter the collision, and a boat was lowered from the steamer atter the collision, merely to see if she was injured. The schooner and all on board of her had dis arreared some time before this. (Sensation.) A few mi nutes after the collision, I saw two men swimming near one of the paddles of the steamer, but they were not saved. I myself belong to Belfast, and am of the seafaring pro. fusion. Mr. Verner—About what size we, the a:loot:et ? Captain Dunctan—About 140 tons turthen, your wor ship. Mr. Verner—Did you see any name on her, or do you know to whom she belonged ? Captain Duncan—l have no idea of either. Mr. Verner—For the present, Captain Duncan, your statement will suffice. Were there any pereoca convenient to you at the time of the diameter Captain Duncan—There was another man • passenger who, I know, belongs to Behan. Mr. Verncr—Then, Captain Duncan, we shall proceed to investigate the moire transaction in this court, to-morrow, at one o'clock, when we shall receive this and any further statement you may have to macs ; and we shall also ho prepared to take up the evidence of such other persons who were on board the steamer at the time as may be able to throw light on the transaction. Tie matter then dropped. THE LATE OUTRAGE AT BARNSLEY. At tho recent amine at York, two married men named Giles Wilmsley, 37, and Thomas Ellis, 33, employed at the Barnsley GRI Works, were sentenced to be trans ported for life by Baron Martin for having, at Barnsley, on the 30th of January last, committed a rape upon a married woman, Ellen Johnson, 40 years of age, and the mother of eight children. On the night of the occurrence the husband of the prosecutrix abused her so much that she was obliged to seek shelter at a late hour of the night, and being near the gas works, the prisoners proffered her shelter for the night, and there succeeded in committing the capital of fence. The case for the prosecution was proved upon the evidence of the prosecutria, two constables who heard her scream, and the surgeon who spoke to the appearance of her person after the committal of the outrage. For the defence, William Woollen, the constable of Wath-upon- Dearne, deposed that the prosecutrix had frequently been at that place, and had conducted herself as a common prostitute; and that she attempted to prefer a charge against him for having taken an improper liberty with her. He further stated that she had cohabited with other men besides her husband, one of whom was a man of col our, by whom she had had a child. Woollen being an inspector of lodging-house* there, had frequent opportunities for observ ing the prisoner's conduct. Hies lordship, in passing sen tence, observed that he should cause inquiries to be made into the truth of Woollen's statement, and if he found it to be true, he should advise her Majesty to pant the prisoners a free pardon. Lord Palmerston having communicated with the magistrates at Barnsley, an inquiry has been going on, under the direction of the counsel for the defence. Facts, mainly substantiating the evidence of Woollen the constable, have been proved; the promecutris and her sup posed husband have absconded ; and it is believed that a ft er the evidence has been laid before Lord Palmerston, both prisoners will be discharged. THE RAILWAY COMPANIES AND THEIR SERVANTS —We described the course taken by the London and North Western Company, with their goods, porters, at Manchester, and it now appears that the other companies in that town (with one exception) have had conferences with their ser vants. The porters of the Lancashire and Yorkshire, and the East Lancashire Companies have made common cause. They have held two meetings during the week, and asked for en advance of 15 per cent. on their present wages, desir ing an answer by Saturday. On Thursday afternoon Capt. Laws, on behalf of the former company, and Mr. Eborall as manager of the other, met a deputation from the workmen, and after hearing their demand, said that the companies would concede a rise of 10 per cent. The men held another meeting subsequently , at which they decided to accept the 10 per coot., providealtheir prase: hours, 13 per day, were reduced to 12. The men disclaim any intention to strike. The men of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway are reported to have had meetings on the question, but have not yet made any formal demand. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday last, a man named George Burford, was killed, by a savage cow, in the Gloucester-road, above the village of Swamswick. On the preceding day, a sen of the deceased, James Bur ford, a lad, about 16 years of age, in the service of Messrs. Chalker rind Singer, butchers, of Bath, had charge of two cows, which he was driving from Oldfield-gate towards Bath. On arriving at Pennsylvania, one of the animals tossed and injured a young woman, inconsequence of which the lad left it at the Swan Inn, Cold Ashton, and drove the other to Bath. The next morning he was ordered to fetch the other cow ; and, being afraid to go by himself he asked his father, the deceased, to go with him. On Friday last, an inquest was held before B. Fry, Esq., at the Bladud Arms, Swainawick. The jury returned as their verdict, " That the deceased, George Burford, was accidentally gored and killed by a cow, and the jury are of opinion that Messrs. Chalker and Singer are greatly to blame for allow ing a dangerous animal to travel on the road, more part:- elderly after it had gored the young woman, of which they hod reccired information from the deceased's son."—Bath Chronicle. _ LARGE•4T PEARL IN TILE WORLD.—The Panda Star says that the largest pearl in the world is in the pos session of Victor Plise, E.q., of Panama.

The boisterous weather which the equiliox never fails to bring having tarried some days beyond its time this season, we were beginning to hope that we had for once escaped it, but the storm of last night showed how vain that expectation was. The gale set in about six o'clock last evening from the south, blowing with it a deluge of rain, which seemed to descend in an unbroken sheet. During the night it raged without interruption, blowing a great part of the time with a fury which appeared to shake every house iu the city to its foundation ; and veering gradually round to the west, at which point the vane stood at six o'clock this morning. The violence of the storm has considerably- diminished since daylight, but it still continued to blow with great freshness. The railway steamer arrived ut Kingstown at half past ten last night, but the mail steamer of this morning will probably bo some hours beyond her time. No account of any damage caused by the storm has been vet received. It is stated that it is thC intention of the Mayor of Liverpool to invite the committee of the Great Industrial Exhibition of Duban to a grand banquet ' in the Town-hall, to he given about the end of the present month. The Irish Tenant League held their adjc.urrwil meeting yesterday, the saute three Irish members, Messrs. Potter, Lucas, and Dotty, and the same score of priests and laymen who figured at the meeting of the preceding day, acting as the drunia:is pers , oue on this occasion alas. Several of the other Irish representatives arc in Dublin or its neighbourhood, but purposely absented themselves front the proceed ings of the league, with the exception of Mr. 'l'. Kennedy, who, it appears, as,isted for a while at the meeting of Wednesday, while it sat with closed doors. A letter was read at yesterday's meeting, from Father Redmond, the parish priest of Arklow, in which that reverend gentleman, so well known in all Irish agitations, begs to tell the league that "he is greatly pained at being constrained by his hu.nble judgment to differ with the great majority of that body ;" and ho adds : A, the g overnment can't bring forward a measure of its own on tenant right until the select committee shall Lave made its report, so I am for suspending my judgtnvnt till that event; anti should the ministerial measure be found to fall short of the substance of Crawford's bill, then, and then ... _ only, in my opinion, can the members of the pledged Irish party be imperatively culled on, us men of honour, to place themselves, not only by their votNi, but by their rositian in the house, in opposition to, and to hold themselves indepen dent of, the said government. Dr. *Knight, of Belfast, protested by letter against the secrecy of the meeting of 'Wednesday, which he had been led to expect would be a pabLe one; and he also tells the impracticables of the league that:-- After the protracted discussions of that day ho could see little use in labouring to convince gentlemen who seem to have adopted foregone conclusions with regard to all the main topics under consideration; and hence he merely for the present requested them to place in the hands of the council at i•a public sitting, his formal and clacida d protest against all proceedings which may be taken in pur suance of a system of policy wholly isdefensible in itself, and calculated, in his judgment, to damage, if not to dc stroy, the cause in which they had all been united with the happiest effects, and of whose triumph at no distant period there could hardly be a doubt, were their counsels ucder the direc'inn of wisdom or of common prudence. The Evening Post nays : The Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury have awarded M. W. Savage, Esq., barrister-at-law, late Clerk of the Council, a retiring allowance equal to two-thirds of his salary, as compensation for the abolition of his office. The award is accompanied with a recommendation, grounded on Mr. Savage's "age and capability of rendering good service to the public, that the Lord Lieutenant will avail himself of the earliest opportunity which may oiler for his re-employment in some suitable office." ST. CLEMENT DANES.—Yesterday a vestry meet ing of this parish was held ; the Rev. W. W. Ellis, the rector, in the chair. Mr. Win. Lane was elected senior churchwarden ' Ind Mr. W. H. Willeter, jun., churchwar den. Mears . . B. Cogswell, C. F. Smith, 11. Mason, and J. G. Taylor, it was announced, had been appointed overseers for the year ensuing. The retiring churchwarders pre sented their accounts, by which it appear, 41 that their re ceipts during the past year had Wen 1,19 G/. Ge. 3d., and the expenditure 1,0271. 7s. 10d., leaving a balance to hand over to their successors of 1681. ISs. sd. A vote of thanks was voted to Mr. T. Brachim, the retiring churchwarden, for his valuable services during the past year. which was ordered to be inscribed on vellum and presented to him. REFORMATION OF CRlMlNALS.—Yeaterday after noon a scene of much interest was witnessed at the London Colonial Training Institution for the Reformation of Adult Male Criminals. The occasion was that of an emigrants' farewell meeting, preparatory to the early departure of seventeen reformed criminals for the United States; their reformation being attributable to the benefits they have received, and the habits they have acquired during their stay at the institution. The chair was token by the Duke of Montrose in the school-room, and, besides the emigrants, there were present all the inmates collected from the in dustrial sho e s in the building, which form so important a part of the machinery of reclamation. After the singing of a suitable hymn, letters were readily Mr. Nash, the secretary, from persons who had been previously sent to America or Australia ; their tenour was extremely antis. factory. Sir John Warrender then made a practical fare well address to the emigrants, which was listened to by them with deep interest. Similar addresses were delivered by Mr. J. Payne, the Rev. Mr. Malone, incumbent of St. Matthew Westminster, and the Rey. Mr. Rogers, chaplain Of the Westminster Bridewell. The chair man observed that he had come then) almost by accident, and certainly without the least design of taking any part in the proceedings • but he was extremely gratified with all thathe had witnes sed, and bad no doubt that the institu tion was extremely useful and well worthy of more exten sive support. Many of the emigrants stood up and ex pressed their gratitude for what had been done for them ; and, together with the other inmates, they sang, apparently not without feelings of devotion, the words " I will arise and go to my Father." Before and after the meeting, the workshops were inspected by the visitors. In these shoe making, carpentery, tailoring, and printing are taught se parately, and it would appear, from the letters read, that what is acquired is afterwards used as a means of gaining an honest livelihood. TUE SCREW STEAMER OsmANLL—The following notice woe issued from the General Post-office yesterday:— " The screw steamer Osmanli, under contract with her Ma. jetty's Postmaster-General, will be despatched from Liver. pool on the 7th instant, with mails for the Cape de Verde, the Cape of Good Hope, South Australia, Western Australia, Victoria (Port Philip), and Van Diemen's Land, and all letters for those place. reaching Liverpool previous to her departure and not addressed to be sent to by any other vessel, will be forwarded by the Osmanli. These letters will be liable to the packet rate of postage, but no charge will be made on newspapers, except for those addressed to the Cape de Verde, upon which a rate of 2d. must be taken in advance." DISASTERS AT BEA-LOSS Or LIFE.-LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.—The Ebba Beebe (Haling), which sailed from the Hersey yesterday afternoon, went on shore on the East Mouse, between Point Lynn and the Skerries, at 10 o'clock the same evening. Sho got off at two o'clock this morning, very leaky. One passenger and one of the craw landed. Considerable anxiety was felt during the day as to the fate of this fi ne ship, as she had about SOO smile on board, bound for Australia, and was one of the largest meek afloat, being nearly 1,1100 toot register. Happily, however, she made her appearance in the Mersey this evening. It blew a regular hurricane from W. to S. cff Holyhead to-day. A small schooner went aground off the Head. Three of the crew took to the boat, which upset as she neared the shore, and the men were drowned in sight of persons striving to render them assistance. The whinier was freighted with tin. The schooners Mary Ann and Domestic, of Bideford, were both disabled and towed into Holyhead bay, and the railway bast; Cambria reports several semis riding very awkwardly in the bay A vessel, name unknown, went down off Baffin Island to-day ; crew saved. FOREIGN VIA SOUTHAMPTON.— A correspondent from Havre states that attempts are mak ing there to secure an earlier arrival of French correspond ence, brought by the Southampton mail packets. At pre sent it appears that all the foreign correspondence for Havre which arrives in British packets at Southampton is forwarded to London, and reaches Havre by way of Paris instead of being brought to Havre direct by the Southamp. ton and Havre steamers. This, it is understood, arises from the circumstance that foreign mails are not sorted at Southampton, the same as at Liverpool, Dover, and Ply mouth. The British government has hitherto obtained a monopoly of the carrying of the foreign correspondence belonging to France. If that monopoly is to continue, the English authorities must facilitate its arrival in Havre. The cause of the demand for the establishment of a French ocean mail service, is not so much from the revenue which' dm English nation derives from the conveyance of the foreign correspondence of France, as the delay of its arrival in Havre. The extensive correspondence for, Havre from the West India Islands, Mexico, California, the Pacific, the Spanish Main, the Brazils, and the islands in the Western Ocean, is landed at Southampton, and instead of being brought across the Channel direct by the South- Weatern Company's steamers, is sent by the cir:uiteus route of London, Dover, Calais, and I'aris.
