THE LOSS OF THE STEAMSHIP LONDON. FULL PARTICULARS. LIST OF PASSENGERS AND CREW. A profound sensation prevailed among all circles is the City yesterday morning upon receipt of the sad istelligence that Meant Money Wigram and Sons' =mol diest auxiliary screw steamship, the London, had foun dered in the Bay of Biscay, with upwards of 200 souls on board. The fame this fine vessel had acquired as a pas s/sager ship—partly owing to the fact of her last outward wage luaus( been made in u 9 days—was in itself calcu• /Med to dispel all anxiety on her behalf even during the gate tempestuous weather, and it is believed that her owners and the underwriters concerned were least of all prepared for the terrible disaster that has happened to her. It is a remarkable fact, 'moreover, that the London is the first ship belonging to the famous house of Money Wigram and Sons to which any serious casualty has occurred. In a century's emit. stenos Masers. Warm have enjoyed a perfect immunity tram loss, with the single exception of the True Briton. which belonged to a former generation of the firm, and which foundered early in the present century in the some fatal bay. Tee London, which has been commanded ever slime she was launched from Blackwall yard, in 1864, by Captain Ifattin, en Australian navigator of great experience, left the East India Docks on Thursday, the 28th Si December, and dropping down to Gravesend, sailed theme on Saturday afternoon, under charge of Mr. Thompson, a river pilot. As the night was wild and the wind deal ahead, the ship brought up at the Note, and lay there during the whole of the following day. There were two clergymen on board, the Rev. Dr. Woolley, Bishop of Sydney, and the Rev. Mr. Draper, and both of them took part in the usual Sunday service.. At daybreak on Monday, the Ist of January, the anchor was weighed, and the ship steamed down channel, still against a head wind, bct making fair way. While passing outside the Isle of Wight the wind increased to half • gale, and Captain Martin deemed it prudent to put ,back and lay to Um the night in St. Helen's Roads. On the morning of the 2nd instant, the London proceeded uut through the Needles into the open channel, the wind being still ahead, but light. As the ship ran down channel the wind rose and the sea increuel, and a couple of hours after passing the Needles the wiu•l blew a gale right ahead, with a heavy sea rolling, which continued all the way to Plymouth, where the ship arrived about noon on Thursday, the 4th instant. A sad casualty occurred here. A pilot cutter put oaf a small boat, laving on board the pilot and his assistant, to bring the London inside the breakwater. When the boat was about 100 yards from the London a ma capsized her, son both the pilot and his assistant were thrown into the water. Captain Martin instantly ordered one of his lifeboats to be lowered, and with great difficulty the moistest pilot was rescued, but the pilot was drowned, The Lemke came to en anchorage inside the breakwater at 1 p.m. on the 9th inst., and during the afternoon took on board Ulm* of her first and second class passengers who had stringed to join the ship at Plymouth. At midnight on Friday she proceeded on her voyage, the weather being at this time calm with a light wind ahead. She bad fall steam on during the whole of Saturday, and the voyage promise,: to progress very satisfactorily until Sunday morning, when the wind increased and • head sea gradually rose. During the day the London passed I ships, and nothing occurred to create the smallest uneasiness in the minds of any of the officers e! the ship. During Sunday night the wind ie. I creased to a gale, and the sea rose considerably. On the mornin.i of Monday, the Bth instant, the ship was well clear of the land, and Captain Martin having ordered the engines to be stopped set his topsails, and so ende►voured to keep the ship moving slowly ahead. At noon on this day, the wind having somewhat lulled, the engines were again set 111 motion and kept steaming slowly ahead through the night. At 8 LOCI. on Tuesday, the 9th inst., while the captain was still endeavouring to keep the ship in her course by meats of the screw, the violence of the gale carried away at one sweep the jib-boom, the foretopmsst, the gallant mast, act the royal mast. These large spars were not wholly datached from the ship, but hanging fast by the stays sa t.ng to and fro 141'11 such violence that the crew were wholly unable to secure them. About two hours later the main royal mast was blown completely out of its socket, and added to the general wreck. Captain Martin, who had not been in bed since the pre- I wiou Sunday night, was not at all disheartened up to this moment, but as the gale coutintred to increase during th e I morning, with a sea already running mountains high, the position c the ship was undoubtedly felt to be one of come peril. SO., as the wind had somewhat veered round, the engines were kept steaming easy ahead ; indeed it is believed that at this moment no person on board felt any satiety for the ultimate safety of the ship. About 3 p.m. on Tuesday, a tremendous sea struck the ship, and carried Cie port lifeboat clean away from the davits. All that evet.og, and through the succeeding night, the wind blew a very heavy gale, and the sea ran very high, but the screw was still kept steaming easy a-head. At 3 a.m. on Wed:a: iday, the 10th lastest, Captain Martin sent for Mr. Greenhill, the chief engioeer, and informed him of his intention, to put the ship about and rno for Plymouth. end be desired that full speed should be got up directly. This was immediately done. In half an hour after the ship's course had beau altered she was again struck by a tremen- &AU Lou which carried away the starboard life boats, and the same sea stove in the starboard cutter. At noon on this day the ship's position was in ht. 44.48 N., long. 8.7 W. A very heavy cross sea was running with the wind now dead astern of the slip, which caused her to roll heavily and much impeded her progress. But no danger was even now anticipated, and all through the evening of Wednesday and long after nightfall the ship continued to steam slowly ahead, the captain and his officers re maining steadily at their poets, and the passengers appearing to have full reliance upon the skill of Captain Martin to bring them safely to port. At 10.I'0 I p.m. ou Wednesday, the ship still rolling deeply in a heavy cross sea, and the wind blowing a whole gale from the south-we-t, a mountain of water fell heavily °vet the waist of the ship, and spent its destructive force upon the main hatchway over the engine-room, completely demolishing this massive structure, measuring 12 feet by 8 feet, and flooding with tons of water this portion of the ship. Instant endeavours to repair the hatchway were made with a promptitude and vigour commensurate with the imminent crisis. Every spare sail that could be got a', and even blankets and mattresses from all parts of the ship, were thrown over the aperture, but each succeeding sea shipped by the vessel tore away the frail resources of the momeot, and not more than ten minutes after the hatchway had been destroyed, the water bad risen above the furnaces and up to the waists of the engineers and firemen employed in this port of the ship. The lower decks were also now flooded with the rush of waters the ship was continually taking in. The chief engineer remained at his post until the water had risen shove his waist, when be west on deck and reported that his fires were out and his engines rendered useless. Captain Martin, with calm conviction, remarked that he was not surprised ; on the contrary, he had expected such a result. Finding his noble ship at length little 7/10111 than r. log ou the water, Captain Martin immediately ordered his maintopsail to be set, in the hope of keeping her before the wind. This difficult work had scarcely been accomplished when the force of the wind tore the sail into sibands, with the exception of one corner, under which the ship lay to throughout the remainder of the night. The donkey engine, supplied with steam by a boiler upon deck, and all the deck pumps were kept going throughout the might, and the passengers of all clams, sow aroused to a cease of their imminent danger, shared with the crow their arduous labours. Notwithstanding every effort the water still gained upon the pumps, and the gale eestinuiag at its height, cross seas with tremen dous force were constantly breaking over the vessel, which at length succumbed to the unequal mad, Nom this moment the motion of the ship was low and heavy, and she refused to rise to the action of the waves. At a quarter after four o'clock on Thursday morning she wee struck by a stern see, which carried away four of her esem posts, and admitted a flood of water through the breech. From this time all efforts were useless, and at day break Captain htartia, whose cool intrepidity had never far • element forsakes him, entered the caddy where all does of the passengers had now taking refuge, and, re spindle; to an universal appeal, calmly announeed the emnation of all human hope. It is a remarkable fact that Ibis Ws= adrainiss was as matalanly aaosived—s ay. ~' THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 18, 1866. signed silence prevailing throughout the assembly, broken only at brief intervals by the well-timed and appropriate exhortations of the Rev. Mr. Draper, whose spiritual services had been incessant during the pre vious 24 hours. At 10 o'clock, the ship still rolling deeply, an attempt was made to laubch the starboard pinnace, but • sea struck her jut so she reached the water, and she sank, leaving a crew of five men struggling for their lives. As the ship was lying to, three of them managed to scramble up the sides of the ship, and the other two were rescued by ropes being thrown to them. Al ter this the exhausted crew ap peared indifferent to their fate, and no further effort at launching the remaining boats was made until 1 o'clock, when the water having reached the main chains and the ship evidently settling down, the port pinwales wee got over the ship's side. Even at this moment the sea was so heavy that those of the women; who were within reach of the boat, appeared to prefer the frail shelter of the sinking vessel to the obvious dangers of a small boat in a raging sea. At this crisis Captain Mania, always at hand, addressing Mr. Greenhill, his chief engineer, under whose command this particular boat was rated, said, "Then is not much chance in the boat. There is now for the ship. Your duty is done- Mine is to remain here. Get in and take the command of the few it will hold." Thus prompted, Mr. Greenhill, with his fellow engineers and some few others, number ing only 19 souls, among whom were only three wood-class passengers, quitted the ship—with only a few biscuits in the shape of provisions, and not a drop of water. The pinnace had scarcely cleared the wake of the vessel, upon the poop of which upwards of 50 of the pas. augers were seen grouped, when a tremendous see was seen to break over the doomed circle, who, when the ship rose slowly again, wets discovered to h►ve been swept into the surging waters. Another moment, and the vessel her self, settling down stern foremost, threw up her bows into the air. and sank beneath the waves. The pinnace, having no sails on beard, could only keep afloat before the wind, and was repeatedly in danger of swamping. They had not been afloat two hours before they saw a full.rigged ship sail past them, but at too great a distance for hail. At 3a.m. on Friday they sighted the sails of a brig, the orew of which overheard their shouts and bore down towards them, but failing to get into the track of the boat, after making several fruitless tacks, she bore away. At daybreak a full-rigged cutter was observed at some distance, and hoisting a shirt upon an oar, they endeavoured, but in vain, to attract attention. Shortly afterwards the Italian barque Adrianople, Captain Cavassa, bound with a cargo of wheat from Constantinople to Cork, hove in sight, and the captain, having observed the pionace, immedi►tely shortened sail and lay to, preparing to take them on board. On reaching the ship, notwithstanding the stress of weather and straitened means for the support of so large an increase to his crew, Captain Cavana received the Englishmen with unbounded kindness and hospitality, supplying them with all that was needful in their destitute condition. The exigencies of the gale had obliged Captain Carew to sacrifice more than half his cargo, and during the four days' run into Falmouth the weather carried away hie rudder, and brought into useful requisition the services of his English passengers. The foregoing details having been furnished by Mr. Greenhill. chief engineer of the. London, may be relied upoo as strictly authentic. The following is a list of the passengers and crew, and if it be a correct one, as we have reason to believe, the number of lives lost is happily fewer by fifty than was reported in the telegram in our yesterday's impression.

Care, ls, assistant ditto NVigram and Co., by wl.ich eminent firm she was built at their yard at Blackwell only about a year ago. She was of 1,752 tons register, and was fitted with an auxili►ry screw, her engines being of SW-horse power indicated. She was built in pursuance of the plan for steaming to Australia round the Southern Capes, and she has been lost while on her third voyage to Melbourne. On her two previous voyages her great excellence ea a pas enger ship has attracted to her a full complement of pareogers—a some- what greater number even than accompanied her on her present disastrous voyage, and her performances have fully realised the high expectations which were entertained respecting her. Her estimated value, exclusive of a full and valuable cargo, was from 70,0001. to 80,0001. She was commanded by Captain J. Bohan Martin, a gentleman in the prime of life, who not only had gained a more than ordinary share of respect from the thousands of passengers who had crossed the ocean under his care, but was reputed to be me of the smartest and most trustworthy of the officers employed in the Australian fleet of Messrs. Wigram, of which he was senior captain. He had previously for several years been engaged in colonial trade. He was unmarried, having made his ship his inseparable life companion, and re• oeiving in the cordial friendship of the passengers who had sailed with him a reward for that assiduous attention to their comfort and safety which he bad ever displayed. On the 30th of December, under the care of Captain Martin, the London left Gravesend, and encountered on her passage down Channel such severe weather that she was compelled for a short time to take shelter at Spithead. She arrived at Plymouth on the 4th instant, and embarked a large number of passengers, an unusually large proportion of whom were old colonists returning to Australia, who had been awaiting her arrival at the various hotels of Plymouth. In addition to the sixty cabin passengers, she had on board about one hundred and forty second and third class passengers, which, with the crew of about ninety, made up her complement of 289 souls on board. The pas mongers were embarked under the superintendence of Messrs. J. B. Wilcock@ and Co., emigration and shipping agents, of Plymouth. One only, Miss Fanny Batchelor, of Union street, Stonehouse, was from the immediate neighbourhood of Plymouth, but there was a large sprinkling of Cornish men and women. Thus admirably equipped and fully freighted, the London ' s ailed from Plymouth Sound on Saturday, the 6th inst. On the following day she encountered very heavy weather, with rain, boisterous and ;unsettled weather continuing on the Bth. This increased next day to a gale, during which a series of minor disasters betel. Her jibboom, fore-topmast topgallant-mast, and royal mast were carried away, and the port lifeboat was washed overboard and lost. This was in the morning, and the storm giving no signs of abate ment she was at three o'clock next morning put about, Captain Martin intending to run hick for Plymouth to refit. About this time a tremendous sea, which terrified even the most hardened seaman, broke on board, doing great damage ; the starboard lifeboat was carried away by the wave, and the cutter stove in. At noon an observa tion was taken, the ship being then in 46.48 N., and longitude 8.7 West, viz., in the Bay of Biscay, about two hundred miles south-west of Land's-end. The violent weather continued, and at ball-past ten on Wed nesday night the ship rolled and pitched fearfully, and shipped such quantities of water on deck as to carry away the engine -room hatch, and the water soon found its way into the engine-room, putting out the fires, and thus stop ping the engines. The pumps were kept incessantly going the whole night, all the pasneogers who were capable of rendering any help working with the utmost energy to assist the crew in keeping the ship afloat by haling with buckets in addition to the pumps. Daring that friebtful night—the night it will he remembered when thirty vessels were driven on shore in Torbay—the gals increased, if pos• Bible, in violence every hour until it assumed the charac ter of a hurricane, with a fearful cross sea, which locus santly made clean breaches over the helpless vessel. The utmost efforts were made, but without avail, to secure the engine -room hatch, and about 4 a.m. the stern ports were stove in by the sea, and the exertions made to close them up again were wholly useless. The passengers and crew all this time behaved exceedingly well, and worked orderly, and with an energy which showed it was for their lives they strove. But the water continued to increase, and ►ll com mand of the ship was lost, until it became evident that further effort was hopeless. It was then, at ten o'clock on the morning of that fatal Thursday, that Captain Martin had the terrible tank of making known to the 200 passen gers that the ship was nicking, and that they must prepare for the worst. She was then as low in the water u the main chains. Au effort was then made to lower the boats, and the starboard iron pinnace Wall lowered with firemen aboard her, one of them being a passenger from Penzance. In the terrific sea prevailing she was quickly swamped and went down, but the five men in her were got on board the ship. This catastrophe had the effect of intimidating the crew from attempting to launch the three remaining boats, and all on board began to realize the dre►dful fate which impended. The whole of the passengers and crew gathered as with one oonsent in the chief saloon, and having been calmly told by Captain Martin that there was no hope left, a remarkable and unanimous spirit of resignation came over them at once. There was no screaming or shrieking by women or men, no rushing on deck, or frantic cries. All calmly resorted to the saloon, where the Rev. Mr. Draper, one of the passengers, prayed aloud, and exhorted the unhappy creatures by whom he was surrounded. Dismay was present to every heart, but disorder to none. Mothers were weeping sadly over the little ones about with them to be engulphed, and the children, ignorant of their coming de►th, were pitifully inquiring the came of so much woe. Friends were taking leave of friends, as if preparing for a long journey, others were crouched down with Bibles in their hands, endeavouring t ) Hutch consolation from passages long known or long neglected. Incredible, we are told, is the composure whicb, under such circumstances, reigned around. Captain Martin stationed himself in the poop, going occasionally forward, or into the saloon, but to none could he offer a word of comfort, by telling them that their safety was even probable. He joined now and then for a few momenta in the public des otione, but his place to the last was on the deck. About two o'clock in the afternoon, the water gaining fast on the ship, and no signs of the storm subsiding being apparent, a small band of men determined to tenet themselves to the mercy of the waves in a boat rather than go down without a struggle. Leaving th saloon, therefore, they got out sod lowered away the port cutter, into which sixteen of the crew and three of the pas sengers succeeded in getting, and in launching her clear of the ship. These nineteen men shouted to the captain to come with them, but with that heroic courage which was his chief characteristic he declined, saying, "No, I will go down with the passengers ; but I wish you God speed and male to land." The but then palled away, tossing about helplessly on the crests of the gigantic wares. Scarcely bad they gone eighty yards, or been five minutes off the deck, when the fine steamer went down stern foremost with her crowd of human beings, from whom one confused cry of helpless terror arose, and all was silent for ever. After the pionace had got away from the Loudon, and in the brief interval before she foundered, a rush was teen to be made to the two remaining boats, bat the efforts to launch them were ineffectual, and the suddsonms of the founder ing at last—the London befog an iron ahip—prevented what might have been a successful second attempt to save a few more lives. The nineteen survivors, in their little light boat, were driven before the gale in the Bay of Blaney all that Thurs day afternoon, and evening, and tight, tossed on the back of tremendous sass, and when daylight on Frith,. morning came there was still no rescue, nor much hope of living out the gale. At about eleven a.m. on Friday, the 12th, however, a vessel hove io sight, and the attention of ita crew being attracted to the boat, they were picked up, after twenty hours' exposure to the pitiless wines and waves. The vessel proved to be the Marianople, Captain Canna, an Italian barque, on board which the survivors received the utmost attention and kindness, and from which they were put ashore at Falmouth on Tuesday afternoon, and the chief engioeer and three passengers at once proceeded oe to London by the mail train. Some hair-breadth escapes in connexion with this disaate are already known. A lady who was desirous of proceeding from Plymouth with her family to Melbourne by th e London, had made repeated pressing applications to the owners' spate at Plymouth, and the captain had been coo. salted, bat, fortunately for the applicant, had declared that his cabins were so full that he could not possibly accom modate her, a result that at that time caused her much dia. appointment. A second clam male passenger was so alarmed at the rough weather which the Load*, encountered on her way down to Plymouth, that immediately on her arrival at that port he came ashore, resigned his passage, and went back to his home, thus nowittinely saving his life. A yeas( man, se the result of some family quarrel, left his hems aed took s passage by the Leedom. He we, advertised for in the Times and importuned to return, his friends being unaware of his where•boutr. Messengers were sent down to Plymouth, and an influential shipbroker in the town was employed to intercept him should be attempt to sail thence. Fortunately he wee detected amongst the pessengers of the London, and his family communicated with by the broker, the result of which was that a brother of the young man came down to Plymouth and persuaded the would. be emigrant to forego his voyage. LOSS OF THE SHIP ROYAL ALBERT AND ALL ON BOARD. Intelligence bail arrived of the loss of this vessel, bound from Calcutta to London. The disaster took place in Bade Bay, Cornwall, and the report states that every soul on board perished. The captain's desk and writing materials were washed ashore shortly after the wreck, and the cargo is strewn about the coast. The Royal Albert left Calcutta on the 14th of September, and is owned by Messrs. Fernie, Brothers, of Liverpool. A telegram in last evening's Shipping Gazette, dated Stratton, near Bade, Cornwall, Jan. 16, says :—" Chests of tea and bales of cotton are washing in along the beach for miles this morning also pieces of wreck marked ' Royal Albert, of Liverpool,' and Mal marked ' Mrs. Maclver, Elgin, shipped by W. Nelson.' That journal says the cargo, as may be supposed, was a most valuable one, namely, 2,623 bales of jute, 250 bales of cotton, 820 chests of tea, 2,729 hags of poppysesd, 8,190 begs of rapeseed, 5,456 begs of linseed, 125 cases of castor oil, 40 chaste of shellac, 40 baskets of india.rubber. 10 cheat/ of lac dye, and 29 bales of safflower. The Royal Albert was of iron, 1,438 tons register, owned by Messrs. Fernie Brothers, of Liverpool. Both ship and cargo are tally covered. The loss will fall on the underwriters and the offices. MORE SERIOUS SHIPPING DISASTERS AND LOSS OF LIFE. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. There is no cessation in the announcements received here of fresh disasters to shipping at sea, and its feared that many a good ship that sailed from this port in the course of the last month will never again be heard of, A despatch received there this morning states that the ship Andaman, bound from Glasgow to Bombay, had teen forced int* Holyhead. The captain states that he actually reached Linker three times, and was each time blown back. The Fannie Scott, from Baltimore, has been blown into Belfast Lough with loss of span, decks swept, sails carried away, cargo shifted, and one of the crew washed overboard. The Glee Maiden, hence to Melbourne on the 12th, has put back in a very damaged state. She not only experi enced vety heavy weather after leaving port, but on the evening of the 14th she was run into by a large vessel off the Skerries. She was struck on the starboard bow ; her anchor was carried away, the forecastle smashed in, all the starboard forerigging completely destroyed, all the butts on deck and the windlass bitts started, besides other damage. The ship Constantine, hence to New York, after being out 43 days, has been forced back to Queens town, with leas of sails, decks swept, very leaky. The Cordillcro, likewise hence to New York, has sought shelter in Gibraltar, having experienced the full force of the storm, and sustained much damage, 150 tons of cargo baying to be thrown overboard. The Thurcaston, from Quebec to Queenstown, was abandoned at sea on the 2nd instant; but fortunately the ship Tricolour fell in with her crew and rescued them. The ship P. M. Killer, from Quebec to Liverpool, has been, according to a despatch received here from Belfast, abandoned at sea ; but we are glad to learn that her crew are all safe. WRECK OF THE HANNAH lifooßE. —LOSS OF NL.LTEEN LIVEB.—We reported on Monday the wreck of the ship Hannah Moore, of Liverpool, Rowtan, master, on or near Lundy Island, and the probable loss of the whole crew. Portions of the wreck and a boat had been cast ashore near Rutland. Communication has since been re established with Lundy Island, and we have thence a confir mation of the Laws of the wreck, although it is some conso lation to find that there are some survivors from the crow. The Hannah Moore, a ship of 1,100 tons, the property of Messrs. Raises and Co., was bound from Callao for Quee ate wa for orders, with a cargo of guano. She was driven by the storm of Wednesday under the lee of Lundy Island, and anchored there. A pilot of Bristol undertook to proceed to Ilfracombe, and telegraph thence to the owners for orders. While he was absent on this mission, however, the gals imusiuted, and the ill-fated ship was driven from her moor ings upon the rocks, and speedily went to pieces on that wild and iron coast. Of her crew of twenty-five, all told, only six were saved,two at a time, by the hardy inhabitants of the island, the boat in which they put off being so small that three journeys had to be made to accomplish this brave feat. The master and eighteen of the crew were drowned. The survivors state that a large steamer passed within full view of the ship while she was on the rocks, and could euily have saved the remainder of the crew ; but, although the men of the steamer from their gestures were anxious to proceed to the relief of the drowning men, no effort was made to save them. It is to be hoped that the name of this steamer will be ascertained, and the captain will be called upon to explain his share of what appears to be an inhuman transaction.— Western Daily Press. THE. PROPOSED AQUEDUCT FROM THE SOURCE OF THE SEVERN TO LONDON VIA BREDCHOST/I.—The present age is distinguished by giant schemes and daring projects ; we might add also for the accomplishment of such schemes, for within no similar period in former times have so many natural obstacles been removed, or so many physical dn. cultic* been overcome ; still, in the matter of aqueducts for the supply of water to large cities the great nations of antiquity appear to have anticipated us, and to have set us an example which we have been too slow to follow. Water, pure crystal water, is the want of our great towns and cities, and the death rates of these populous centres show that thousands perish for want of a proper supply of this essential fluid. The chief difficulty is in bringing that of which nature affords us so abundant supply to places where it is needed. There, for instance, is the metropolis, with its Z:.000,000 inhabitants, requiring at least 100,000,000 gallons of water per day, and here is the "sandy bottomed Seven'," as Shakespeare styled it, receiving its supply from a water shed of 6,000 square miles, and rollieg down its waters to its estuary at a rate rarely lees, eves in time of drought, than 1,0(0 cubic fest a second, The queetion is how to turn on the Severn to the London taps, and to divide it so that each of the 3,000,000 inhabitant. of London shall have a share. The plan proposed is to take it before it be comes polluted by the different cesspools emptied into it along its lower bring ; in fact to anticipate the Severn by going at once to the mountain heights when it has it. rise, by constructing three reservoirs, one of Live miles, another of four miles, and a third not quite so long, each of about 60,000 acres in extent. These, it is supposed, will contain 2,761,000,000 pubic feet of water. There are two primary stages of the aqueduct, 19 and 21 miles in length, which join the channel near, the town of Montgomery, and the total length to the metropolis is 180 miles, prolog the hills by tunnel and th e open country by arches, and the usual means of conducting au acqueduct. This grand artery would par by Bridgnorth, and terminate in the high lands of San more in reservoirs, 250 feet above Trinity high water mark. In addition to its purity, the water from the mountains of North Wales will have the advantage of being both clear and soft, and might be made to supply not only Bridgnorth, Stourbride,_ Bromagrove, but many other towns in its coarse.— Woirerhamplon Chronicle. FLooDS IN DEVONSHIRE.—The'vaSeys of Devon shire were completely inundated during the late floods ; the railway traffic was stopped, sod several lives were last, At Bridford-bridge ' seven miles from Exeter, the Teyn bad overflown its banks, ands vehicle containiog two passengers was turned over into the current ; one of the passengers, Mr. Btonett, was drowsed, as was also one of the horse..

HOUSE PROPERTY AT SOUTH KENSINGTON.— Yesterday a compensation case, " Hoofstetter r. the Metropolitan Railway," occupied Mr. Humphrey, the coroner, and a special jury to a late hour at the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square. Mr. Kerslake, Q C., and Mr. Marriott were for the claimant, a gentleman of property, and Mr. Lloyd, with whom was Mr. Hollway, for the company. The evidence of the surveyors was of an extra ordinary character as to the value of the property. The claim made was 5,2501., sod the company had offered 3.0001. The house taken was 52, Thurioe-square, and Mr. Floofstetter had taken another house (24) in the same square. It was stated that property had enormously increased of late years, and was still increasing, and the Museum had added to theincruse. For the claimant the house was said to be worth 1801. a year, and on the other side 140/. The jury amassed the compensation at 3,1001.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-J . 17. Sittings in Banos—(Befare the Lord Chief Baron Pollock andßirou Mnrtin,Ckenn.U, and Pigott.) IMPORTANT TO AYBLICANTS YOB b HARMS Li PUBLIC CO/ WAIL The court was occupied during the day with the special paper, but the only case of any general importance disposed of was that of the Ramsgate Victoria Hotel Company (Limited) v. Mootefiore, which had been stated fur the opinion of the court, wider an order of Mr. Baron Pigott, at oiai prius. The action was brought to recover calls. The defendant applied in March for shares, and paid the deposit, which amounted to 501., but before any allotment took place he applied for the return of his money. Afterwards the company allotted the shares, and they not only refused to return the money, but sued for calla. There were seer ral other actions for cells, and counter-actions by share holders for the recovery of the deposits, bat it had bees arranged that they should all be determined by the decision in this case. — The court, after hearing Mr. Mellish, Q.C., and Mr. Digby for the company, and Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Cohen on the other side, gave judgment against the company. SECOND COURT. Sittings at Nisi Prins.—(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell and a Comma Jury.) DUET V. JIWITT AND OTHEES. This was an action for libeL The defendants pleaded not guilty, and a justification. Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Joyce were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. J. J. Sewell, Q.C., and Mr. F. C. Burnand for the defendants. The plaintiff, Mr. Samuel Anderson Emery, was the well known actor, and the defendants were the proprietors of a newspaper called the Glowworm. On the openiog of the Lyceum Theatre, under the management of Mr. Pechter, for the season, on the 7th of November last, Mr. Petra,* Simpeon's piece, entitled the Watch Cry was produced for the first time, the part of./ udael de Medici being undertaken by Mr. Emery. The next day the Mormons contained a long criticism upon the performance, in which this psalms occurred " Mr. Fechter, as Silvio, was admirable, and his by-play in the second act was especially worthy of praise. Miss Elsworthy was also exceedingly good. The well deemed scoundrel was amusingly played by Mr.Widdicomb; and the part of Mr. Emery was efficiently spoken by the prompter." Mr. Emery felt that the concluding words did an injury to his professional character, and instructed his solicitor to ask for an apology. Accordingly, a letter was written to the editor of the paper, in which the solicitor,after quoting the sentence complained of, said, "The meaning of this is quite clear, and as it conveys to the public and the theatrical profession the false impression that Mr. was incapable of playing the part assigned to him, it is culated to do him considerable injury in hie profession. I have, therefore, on his behalf, to call upon you to publicly withdraw this false statement, sod publish in the columns of your journal, in its next impression, an apology for mis representing the fact." The editor inserted this communi cation at length, and appended the following note :—" Our publication of the above letter is its best answer. We may add that intimidation will never cause us to forget the duty we owe to our readers." Under these circumstances the plaintiff brought his action, in order to justify himself before the public. Mr. Emery, the plaintiff, deposed that he had performed at Drury•laue and the other principal theatres in the metro polis and the provinces, as well as before her Majesty at Windsor Castle. He added that be attended all the re hearsals of the Watch Cry, sod appeared in the first repro sentatioo, when he was quite perfect in his part, and received no assistance whatever from the prompter. In cross-examination ho positively denied that he was prompted during any portion of the performance. The prompter was in court, but not the assistant prompter, who bad not been subpoenaed. Mr. Henry Mayhew, the chief prompter at the Lyceum, said be had not on the night in question any occasion to prompt Mr. Emery. He would undertake to say that neither Mr. Craven, the assistant prompter, nor any one else prompted the plaintiff. There were three or four rehearsals after the first night, but not because the actors were imperfect in their parte, but for the purpose of cur tailing the piece. Witness occupied a seat in the centre of the orchestra. The assistant prompter stood at the side of the stage, and attended to the shifting of the scenes and other matters, but it was not his duty to prompt the actors, except when they were at the back of the stage, as for instance in a deep glen. Mr. foreman, the stage-manager, said he superintended all the rehearsals. Mr. Emery's part was a very arduous and hard-working one. He was constantly on the stags throughout the piece. Witness played Casino de 31edici, a part which was very much connected with Mr. Emery's. They were supposed on the stage to be cousins. Mr. Emery constantly attended the rehearsals, and studied his part. He was entirely perfect in it. On the Saturday night before the performance there was a full-dress rehearsal, and it was perfect, with the exception of one short scene. Mr. Pechter was more strict as to rehearsals and the getting up of pieces than any other manager in hoodoo. Witness never heard Mr. Emery require the services of the prompter in a single sentence. A more satisfactory performance he never witnessed. There were no general rehearsals after the first night, but one or two persons were called for making excisions in the piece and rewriting some of the parte—some of the language was cut out, and some introduced. Mr. Widdicomb, who also played in the drama, said Mr. Emery was perfect in hie part so far as he was concerned with him, and always gave him the cue. Mr. Serjeant Parry—What was the name of your pert? Mr. Widdicomb (after some besitatioo)—l really forget. (Laughter.) It was an Italian DIM). Mr. Powell—He was the "well dressed sociandrel." (Laughter.) Mr. Widdicomb—Fun, which has been very facetious upon the character, called me a very comic ruffian. (Laughter.) Mr. Serjestot Parry—l suppose Benjamin Beau Bell, in the Illustrious Stranger, would suit you better' Mr. Widdicomb—Undeubtedly. This was the cue for the plaintiff. Mr. Powell, on the part of the defence, contended that the publication was a fair and honest criticism, free from any or malice to Mr. Emery, and said he should call the writer of it (who was the eon of the late eminent author, Mr. Gilbert A' Beckett) and Mr. Palgrave Simpson, to prove that he was very imperfect in his part, and had repeatedly to be prompted. rbe learned counsel disclaimed any intention to attack the professional ability of Mr. Emery, who stood in the first rank of actors, and observed that in bringing this matter into court he bad show D an over.sentitiveaess to public criticism. Mr. Arthur William A'Beekett said he was dramatic critic for the Glowworm, and wrote the notice of the Watch Cry. lie sat in the stalls and heard the prompter fie quently promtting Mr. Emery. Mr. Emery was decidedly imperfect in his part. He bad no knowledge of him per. mustily, nor any feeling towards him except one of respect for his talents as an actor. _ _ _ Cross-examined —He sat in the last row but one of the stalls. There were eight rows. He could not say where the prompter was, but be heard his voice. He meant by what be wrote that Mr. Emery was very imperfect—that be was incapable of performing his part. By the Judge—Mr. Emery spoke when Hr. Raymond ought to have dose so. He stammered, and appeared to put oat the business of the stage. Mr. Palgr►vefSimpsoo, who was in • private box at the representation, said Mr. Emery was certainly not perfect in his part. He appeared confused throughout the per formance. Cross-examined—He did not recognise the words he had wntten. In writing the piece be adapted the plot in a French play. The words were his own. He delivered the manuscript to Mr. Fec hter • f)rtoight or three weeks before the performance. He did not think there were sufficient rehearsals. He did not like the result of the first night. The piece underwent some revision, but not a great deal. The alterations were made by two kands—one being that of the =apogee himself. Besides Mr. Emery, neither Mr. Widdicomb nor Mr. Fechter spoke my words. (Laughter.) Miss Elsworthy spoke every word accurately as written, and so did Mr. Ronan. Occasionally Mr. Fechter was perfectly astray. (Laughter.) No alteration was made in my manuscript without my knowledge or concurrence. Mr. Horsman, readied, said that great alterations were made in Mr. Emery's part, as well as in every other cha meter is the piece. Mr. Serjear.'t Perry intimated that Mr. Craven, who bad been sent for. was now in court, and be was prepared to put him in the box. Mr. Powell said he would neither assent nor object to his being examined, but leave the matter In the hands of the court. This gentleman was not examined, and after counsel had addressed the jury, Mr. Baron Bramwell told the jury that the first question for them was whether this article was a libel ; in the next plane, they would have to say whether the s tatement con tained in it was true. If they thought it was true, they would further have to decide wheth e r it was a fair and honest criticism. If they determined all these matters in favour of the plaintiff, then would come the question of damages, which was entirely within their province ; but if they decided them against him, their verdict would be for the defendants. After haviog been locked up for mouse time, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—dasnegee, 5!. 15e. TiunixoNlAL TO Mr. C. Z.
