With that view he had communicated with the Lord Mayor of London, but no answer bad yet beat received.He asked the meeting to conf ^in what be bad done, and to take steps for getting the money. He reported favourably of the industrial schools which have been opened in various parte of the toe ..nd * I,:ch are bow attended by 800 mill workers. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of the Right Hon.

WIGA.N.-The annual report of the trustees of the Wigan Savings Bank has just been issued, and shows that thsoouditioe of the operatives of the town has had • serious effect upon the funds of the institution. The sum received from depositors during the pest year has brae 19,0001., a decresse of 7,5001. on last year, and of 9,001. on the year 1850, when the distress had not commenced. The sum withdrawn has been 32,7004., whilst in 1860 it was only 17,0001., and the number of depositors, which last year was 3,438, has dropped to 2,957. This decrease has taken place almost entirely amongst the depositors of small sums; those, for instance, whose balances do not exceed 501. The sum remaining to the credit of the depositors is now 117,0001., • decrease of 10,3001. on the last return. LT/EL-Owing to the depressed condition .if cotton trade distress has prevailed more or leas amm; the fustian cutters of the pariah of Lymm, throughout the present year.

The committee are sanguine that they shall be able to meet any amount of distress that is tritely to occur in the pariah for some months to come. HYDE, &c.-The following is the weekly return of the state of trade in Hyde, Dukiofield, Longdendale, Warmth, and the neighbourhood, as me by Mr. Joseph Little, the deputy chief consteble ::- Population, 51,622; number of mills, 89; number of operatives usually employed, 26,450. Operatives workiug full time, 6,145; four or five days, 2,9'34; three days, 3,1&5 ; two days, 2.658 ; out of work, 11,538.

OLDHAM.-Mr. Wetherell, the chief constable of Oldham, has just issued his monthly report of the state of employment. The number of factories for cotton spin ning and manufacturing in the borough is 112, of which 25 are on full time with all hands, and 14 with a portion of the hands; 45 are on short time, and 28 altogether stopped. The total number of hands is 17,814, of whom 3,916 are working full time, 9,210 short time, and 4,678 wholly out of employment. Of establishments such as those of engineers, machinists, iron and braes founders, bolt, boiler, sod spindle makers, bobbin lunar', reed and held makers, and hatters, there are 40, and of these nine are on full time with all hands; three on full time with a portion of the bends ; 25 on short time, and three stopped altogether. The total number employed in these establishments is 6,209, and of these 692 are working full time, 5,187 are on short time, and 330 out of employment altogether. There are also five collieries in the borough, all of which are on short time. They employ 647 hands, and of these 617 are on short time, and 30 out of work. Comparing the present date (December 22) with the 22nd of November, the uuprovement is as follows :-There are 17 more places working full time with all handa, and 17 more working full time with a patios of the hands, while there ate 10 less en. gaged on short time, and 24 that were then stopped Rho 'ether are at work now.

Cap tain Harty, of the Pioneer, one of the Steam Navi gation Company's vessels, engaged in the same trade as the Lifeguard, reports that on Saturday evening, about six o'clock, when off Scarborough, he saw the missing steamer. This was on the same day she sailed from the Tyne. There was then • tremendous sea on, and the weather was very stormy, the wind blowing in terrific squalls. Captain Harty, • veteran seaman, hasbeen fourteen years in the Uncle and yet he declares the fury of the storm was so great th at it required all his nautical skill and attention to keep his own vessel afloat. At one time their peril was so imminent that they never expected the Pioneer would weather the storm till the morning. Cap tain Harty declares that he never experienced heavier weather in his life. Happily she lived through it ; but not unscathed, for she shipped a great many heavy seas, bad a boat washed away, and sustained other damage. There was one feature in the construction and fittings of the Pioneer which was greatly in her favour when battling with such • terrific gale as 010 then experienced. Her engines are Placed amidships, by which means she was not exposed to so much danger in the event of shipping • heavy sea, as if they had been placed aft. The engines of the Lifeguard were placed in the after part of the boat, and the general supposition amongst seafaring men is that she had been pooped by • heavy sea, which rushed into and filled her engine-room, and of course immediately extinguished the engine fires. She would then lose her way through the water, and not being able to carry any canvass, would be come unmanageable. This being so she would broach to, when the waves would make • complete sweep over her, and she would speedily fill and go down, earning her uo happy living freight with her. John Barry, the captain of the Lifeguard, is a married man, and has a wife sod six children ; the mete, Frederick Clark, has also a wife and three children, and his wife is near her confinement. The crew consisted of twenty persona, including officers, men before the mast, de., and there were upwards of thirty pas sengers on board. Amongst them are two men employed as Stephenson 's engi ne works, who were on their way to Len don to spend Christmas with their friends. There wee also a Miss Stephens, a governess, we believe, but no rela tion of the owners of the vessel. Should the Lifeguard have unhappily foundered, andel] hopes her being afioat are now totally extinguislied t she will the first of the steam passenger vessels running between the Tree and the Thames that has come to so deplorable an end.

THE CONDEMNED MURDERER EDWARDIL—From inquiries made at Kirkdale Gaol yesterday, we learned that no respiie has yet been received for Thomse Edwards, the criminal condemned at the reoent Liverpool wises for the murder of his paramour, Isabella Tongue. It wiU be re- ; membered that the prisoner was recommended to mercy by the jury no account of the provocation he received at the bands of Sullivan, his rival. Since his condemnation Edwards has manifested much penitence for his crime, and • boa here devout in his religious duties, attending earnestly to the exhortations of the prison chaplain. Unless a re- ! prier, should arrive, Edwards will be executed on Situ?. day next.

THE CAPE MAIL PLYMOUTH, Dec. The Royal Mail steamship Briton arrived here this evening with the above mail and 27 passengers. She left the Cape of Good Hope on the 21st, S.. Helena on the 30th ult., aid Ascension on the 4th inst. Governor and Lady Wodebouse were expected to return iu a few days from their tour in the Western province. General Wynyard was daily expected from Graham's Town. The Colonial Secretary was still on his tour through the Eastern province. All was quiet ou the frontier. The civil war in Transvaal had ceased. The acting President Van Reusenberg had teamphed over the ex-President Schoeman and the rebel land-dreet Steyn, who, with M. Pretorius, Presi dent of Free State, had taken refuge in that state. It was expected that the Transvaal government would demand their extradition, as traitors. Pre twins was not trusted by either party. This civil war had excited more amusement than apprehen sion. At the siege of Potchefstroom, which occu pied three days there were one k"leti and three slightly wounded. Fears were entertained of hostilities between Free State and Basntos, through the lawless into lerance of the Boers. The colony in the northern and mit.h-eastma districts was still suffering from protracted drought. Oidium had re-appeared in some vineyards, and the vines had been much injured by hailstorms. Trade had improved, though still languid. Har vest prospects had brightened considerably. The Dutch church at Malmeebury fell on Nov. lb. Continuous rains bad sapped the foundations. Public works, which bad been snore or less interrupted by the severity of the weather, we Is being vigorously pushed on. The railway works were almost completed to Klapmuts. The Wyndery Railway was progressing favour ably. The Dutch Reformed Church Synod was still sitting. The ship Melbourne, which was lost at the mouth of the Gouritz river, had become a total wreck. Of her cargo, valued at 120,C301., little would be saved. Her Majesty's ships Narcissus and Severn, which arrived Nov. 19, were in Simon's Bay. The Rapid bad left for Mozambique, and the Racehorse and the Rattler for China. A telegram . arrived just as the Briton left the Cape announcing the loss of the Pioneer, of the Livingstone expedition, up one of the rivers. NEW ZELLAND. The following news is from the Southern Cross of Sept 29: The moneys required by his Ezoellercy for the carrying out of his native policy have been voted by the house with out any hesitation ; and, in so far sa the colony is concerned, everything has been done to enable him to carry out the work which he has undertaken. In the meanwhile the natives remain quiet. The newly-appointed officers draw their salaries, and apparently do nothing else. The General Awembly pawed . a half-million loan bill, pro : viding for the 200,000/. appropriated for the restoration o. Tarenaki ; the balance to go towards paying off the im panel claims against New Zealand, and forming roads into the interior. The imperial government will be asked to guarantee this loan. Public sympathy has been expressed on behalf of the suffering operatives in the cotton districts of the north of England. A public meeting was held last Friday, per -idcd over by Sir George A. Arney. Chief Justice, and a ows =Mee appoints I to procure subscriptions. A first inetel meet of 500/. goes home by this mail. The agricultural chimer are busy preparing for next von 's crops. The weather is now broken, but it was favourable for some weeks past. There will be • greater breadth of land under wow and pasture this than any former .earn. We regret the Maoris are not planting to any con siderable extent. . . . Members, however, have not quite forgotten their kik ktive duties amidst the more engrossing political intrigues which have occupied the greater part of their time, and an act Ina passed the Assembly which may, and in all proba bility will, mark an era in the history of the native land question. We allude to an act appointing courts for the pummel of individualising and determining the ownership of Nlaini lands, according to which all natives who shall avail themselves of its provisions are to receive a certificate of ownership, which shall be of the name value as a crown grant for the pieos of land therein set forth. Such a certi ficate the owner will be able to bring into the general market in the same manner as a Europese does his title deeds, and his land will be thereby equally available for lease or purchase, just as if be held it . .y crown tenure. This is a crest reform, and one long urgently called for, though wider many different Dames. Owing to the postal derangement, consequent on the wreck of the Lord Womley, following so soon after the love of the mail steamship White Swan, we are obligrd to pub lish nor monthly summary for England eight days before the err/Mary mail time. We have to report a generally dull state of bailors, since the date of our last summary, September sth. In some branches of trade, as for instance ironmongery and timber, the transactions have been large and satisfactory. The building Ueda in brisk, and country settlers have been pur chasing largely of working tools sod implements. We cannot account for the general tone of dulness, except that Septem ber is usually a dull month with us. It is the teen- MSc° period between winter and spring, and operations are generally limited to the supply of immediate wank Hence, although the wholesale traders have been comparatively idle the retail dealers have been gradually working out stocks, and will soon come into the market we large havers of spring goods. Trade haa been sound. We hear of no failures to meet engagement; and our business men express great confidence for the future. The news from Otago, at an early period of the month, caused a " rush" from Coromandel to the new Southern gold field. Even now, notwithstanding the floodnews from Coromandel, many diggers preferr hue mg a certainty here and encountering the terrible hard ships which must be endured going to the Clutha. The coot of provisions is 400 or 500 per cent. dearer at the Clutha diggings than in Coromandel, and the earnings to the industnous are about equal. However, this " rush" caused considerable activity in the roast shipping trade, and as the large finds recently reverted from Coromandel will in all likelihood cause an influx of diggers from the South, this local interest, which is by far the most import ant of the same kind in New Zealand, will reap the benefit. The imports during the month have not been con siderable. The Coromandel trade decreased during the month, owing to the exodus of diggers. As men are gradually Bod ing their way back business must revive. An P lditiou has been made to our shipping by the purchase of the Tasmanian Maid for 3,0001., for the Coromandel trade. Very heavy quarts crushing machinery h. s been imported by Keven's Rref Company, and is now being eructed in Coromandel at the coinpauy's claim. There will be plenty of work for this plant on the reef, and auriferous quartz is being accumulated elsewhere in Coromandel, waiting the arrival of the steamers. We look forward to the development of thin branch of industry with very great interest. A d export may now be said to exist ; 1,0001. worth of go ld peeped through the custom bowie during the month. As mach as =be. weight of solid goM tame to town last week out of one reef claim, mid this but a beginning. The estimated value of imports from the Ist to the 28th Sept. inclusive was 73.2761. ; and of exports, 4,4251. The banks and insurance oompanies have been doing an bereasieg huskies. The chief drawback to our Wainer is the uncertainty re garding the mails. The August mail for England, by way of Otago and Melbourne, did not arrive in time for the Madras, and consequently no New Zealand news of im pnrtance could be had in England in the ordinary course. There are uo available steam vessels now io the Amami/au waters, end two or three serviceable boats of 600 tons would find a ready sale and plenty to do in these colonies. We likewise require the Palma route opened to shorten the distance from England. As a gold-producing country New Zealand should not be overlooked by British cepa—lists. DECEMBER 27, 1862. Pauli.

ALARMING COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN BAILWAY.—A most fearful collision, invols ing serious injui I to several passengers, and great loss of property, took place OD Wednesday afternoon at the Bernet station of the Great Northern Railway. It appears that about 4 o'clock in the afternoon 'coal train was being shunted oat of the siding on Mourde line, but what precautions were taken to protect the reed while this work was being performed has net trans gibed. It would seem that the shooting was going on when the express train females North due at Kines- cross about a quarter pent four, was heard coming up at its renal rate of speed, nut having to stop at the station., The obstruction was observed by the driver of the engine, , but the distance was not sufficient to enable him to bi rug up before dashing into the coal wagons. To add to the difficulties therein a descent in the line approaching Baroet from Potties Bar of 1 in 200, and it being Christmes-eve the train was unusually hea7. The shock of the collision is described as being fearfuL The coal wagons were thrown high over each other across the line in dreadful con fusion, bringing down a foot bridge erected over the rail way, and ploughing up the permanent way. The speed of the presager train bad been somewhat reduced, but the fires with which it came into contact with the coal wagons caused the engine and tender to leave the metals, and occasion an alarming mask among the carriages. As may be imagined, the greatest leaver seined the passengers, and on alighting several were found to be mach hurt. The fell extent of their in juries wold not be correctly ascertained, but the nature of the collision leads to an inference that many parsing must have sustained maces or less damage. The company report four passimgen to he hart. Medical men were ems in attendance upon them injured. As the coal wagons were thrown over in such a way as to entirely block up the line, the most prompt mermen were taken to warn the approaching up and down Maas. Gangs of labourers were set to work to clear the reed, but it was some hours before the traMe could be resumed. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MERTHYR AND BRE CON ItAILWAT.-02 Thursday miming a fearful accident occurred on the Merthyr and Brecon Railway, by which one life was lon', and several persons seriously injured, some of whom are not expected to recover. It appears that some workmen hurriedly got into some empty trucks at the com mencement of a steep iodine, without attending to the break. The wagons started off down the incline at • ter rific speed ; the foremost was thrown off the rails, and the other trucks oomiog along, a coommioo ensued, sod the whole were shattered to pieces, the occupants being thrown about in all directiors. One of them named Thomas Griffiths was killed on the spot, and nine or ten were very seriously injured. One of them has bees obliged to have his le; amputated, and there are but slight hopes of his reco very. An inquest was held yesterday morning upon the body of Griffiths, when the jury returned • verdict of "Accidental death." PEAII.3VB POSITION OP A PAS tNOER TRAIN.— As is usual oci Christmas eve, the passenger traffic by the lest trains on the North-Eastern lines p heavy. This was so on Wednesday night, ard many of the trains were so beat/ that some hours' detention occurred, and in nearly all ces:l the trains were late. The Think, Whitby, Scarborough, and Dridled lines el rest about a mile seat of Melton, ard trains goirg west are ord to arrive at Halton station within • few minutes of each other. The Driffield train ought to arrive first, but it was particularly heavy on WedreLday night, and about an hour behind time. The Saarboroulti train, which, though late, was at the jllllO. tion shortly after theW bitty had paw d, was also very heavy, and the engine became suddenly disabled just as the three , fold junction had been pawed, the train coming to a dead stand in the mast critical position possible. The over Driffield train was momentarily expected down the incline, and a terrible uncevioess seized most of the passes germ in the stationary train who Mile sequeintinel with the p and risk of their position. The night fortunately was clear, and prompt measures were at once taken to arrest the progress of the Driffield train, which, as a rule, passed the place of accident at a high speed, and was tra velling down a steep incline. The driver's attention was secured, and he polled up his train a few yards from the disabled one, which was just far enough forward to enable the engine to push it on to Halton, where • new engine was attached. Its a matter of justice to record the coolness and good management of those in charge of the trains, which undoubtedly averted • collision fearful to eteraewe plate.— Tillie!. On Thursday morning, about eight o'clock, • rather serious accident occurred at the Carnoustie Station of the Dundee and Arles:att. Railway, whereby a stoker in the employment of that company was severely, if not mortally, injured. It appears that while the goods trek from Arbroath to Dundee was at the station about eight o'clock, some wagons were put off at the vitriol works to the westward, and others had to be taken on at Namur* works. The stoker, whose business it wan to " tail" oo the wagons, was proceeding along with the train hanging on to one of the wagons. He had the rope used in " tailiog " along with him, one end of it being attached to shook at the side of • wagon in front, he holding on by the mid dle, and the other end of the rope trailing on he ground. While the train was proceeding pretty rapidly, the hook at the end of the rope. and which was trailing on the gronnd, seems to have aught some part of the rail and became tight, the unfortunew man being thus crushed between it and the aide of the wagon until the rope snapped in two.
