The commissioners appointed for the porpote of it raring into episcopal and capitular estates and incomes I in England and Wales, have presented their second report. It states : In our first report we stated that we had en- ' &secured to apply to the mason, house property, and mines belonging to the chords, priaeiplse anal moue to those therein recommended with regard to the manage. ment of forms and lands, but that in 000mquence of the difficulties which presented themselves we deemed it esp. Meat to reserve the question as to the management of those kinds of property for further conaideratioo. We bare state applied ourselves specially to this branch of our in quiry, and we now submit to your Majesty the following ebst evetions and suggestions thereon : MANORS AIM MANORIAL LANDS.-Manors are frequently ' Winded in leases for lives and yeas; the lessee', who in sem parts of Elegised, especially the southern and western eountsee, are styled "lords airmen," keeping the courts, and having vested in them all the tights and privileges of the lords Marino the continuance of their leases. Many manors ' also belonlitog to the th umb are " hand," the bishop or other digorary. as the ems may b., retaining the lordship. Of the mation.l lands some are eopyholde for lives and some of inheritance, and ere gabfest to the payment to the lords ' of quit rents and tines (either arbitrary or certain) on re. newal,death, tor alienatios, end are liable in same eases to ' &riots also ; all the lands bete g held by copy of court roll, and dealt with mending to the custom oc the manor in which they are locally situate. We do not feel ourselves justified in recommending the same indulgence to he allowed to the lemon of manors as we have advised with respect to other moo es belonging to the church, such leases. haring, in our opiates, no chi:: a on account of capital espene.ed or improvements effected 'upon the proper' y. We tidal', therefore, that leases of manors, especially those is the bands of lords farness, theraid not be renewed, but that sash leases should either be run out, or the manors sold, anterdiag to the judgment of the central board, es might seem to them most expedient for the interests of the church. Exceptions should however be nude, ant the kiwis should be marled to renewal in cues where the manors are held is esnaexion with minim or &sneak lands, which should be dealt with upon the same principles as are reran mended in our farmer report with respect to largos and lends. We thick also that the capyhoid end eustoniery ten-ire or manorial lands should be as soca ss poemble extinguished ; the eopeholds for lives toeing in scmn cases, at the discre tion of the central board, treated es leas-holds for lives, and in other eases, together with the eopyholde of inheritance, enfranchised; all monies to be received by way of purchase money or for enfranceieement being invested as • evised in our former reply.. We farther recommend, that in ell future enfeanehirements of enpybelds for lives, the practice of exchanging the lives before enfranchisement should either be discontinued or, otherwise, that the fines taken fur mach exchanges should be treated se capital, and invested. Hotsi PROPERTY AND BEILDINo LAND.-The hum proper' Wowing to the dignitaries of the church appears, ra genelly .peaking, to be let upon leases for twenty en-, thirty, or forty years, or for three lives, and some is let at Ireek rent. There is also much ostotable house property and building laid let for lona terms of sears, either under spe cial gets of parliament, or tee Les.inz Act relined to in our former report. The entounts of the fines paid on the re. &wale of the leases vary in different dines's. With respect to the forty years' leases, ordinarily renewed every fourteen years, the fines are is seers places only thrmoinertees of a year's Savable milk, and in other pleas use year's value, or a year and a hall's value. In this last can the fine is nut far from the true value of the toasty terra of fourteen I years for which it is pail. We propose to apply to these renewable leases of houses thesane principle which we have proposed in our first report with respect to losses of farms and lands, bat with the modifications wrack appear to as to be r quint' by the teture of the pre- party. We suggest that in consideration of an Wi den& annual rent, to be paid by the knee. the right of perpetual renewal ie• the existing rate of fine bo secured to the lessee, sod that new valuations should take place, not at each period of renewal, but .very twenty. first year. The addilional annual rent should be determined as !tallow, : -1. The value of the dry term of the lessee (i. e. kis term without any right or expectation of renewal) should be esoertalned. 2. The value of the tame with the right of per petual renewal at the usual rate of fine should likewise be estimated. 3. The lease should be cheesed with an addi tional rent calculated on hall the difference of these values. Considering that this additional rent will be • well secured rent, five per cent. on the 'tome m:ntioned half difference will be sufficient. In illustrating this recommendation by examples it should be borne in mind that the fee simple of house property seldom exceeds 18 2 3 years' purchase, yield ing an interest of six per cent., end accordingly in the followirg examples the value of pullet or reversionary interests in the property is estimated at the like rate of in tenet, though in practice a higher rate of interest would probably he allowed in the calculations.

It would be °mealiest ales that the lessors, with a view to effefling r üblie improvement s , 'and with the swath of the astral board, ehould, during three years from the puling of any act fer carrying the foregoing noon eseadatioas into effect, have power to refuse to renew, or within a like period to give notice of their Weenies not to grant any further renewal. The lessees, however, in mess of refusal upon these last mentioned grounds, sh ould be entitled to reasonable compensation for the loss of the peivileires allowed to other lames. MlXllll.—The asinine and mineral property of the church is ordinarily let on leases for shoe lives, or for 21 years,upon payment of a fine and small resolved net ; and the minerals are worked in some instarties by the lessees themselves, mid In others by their under lessees. Is addition to the praisede tress flees sad rents, there is another profitable soars* Of reTellibe which may be said to be inedent to mining property, vi , , the ri4ht of granting earl's's. and of opiate; pits sad other *memento for working raises, which rights are generally reserved in the leases of the surface. We here not thought it necessary to enter here into farther detail with respect to the peculiarities of this species of church property, its extent and importance, and the mode In which it is hewed sad teenaged, having been tally nudged fn the report of the commit:., of the House of Ceaunou of 1839. Having regard to the lugs usoast of capital whisk has been seek up= the property, and the great risk and loses to which the adveaturars are exposed, we think that the levees generally are entitled to the same advantages of permanency of tenure as were prop god by us in our first report to be conceded to the lessees of farina and lands • sod we are of opinion that the lemurs of mining pro. perty 'will be praoticially benefited by this arrangement. in like manlier with the lesson of farms sad lands. We recommend, therefore, that the pthaciples of management therein proposed with rupee: to farms and lance let on renewable leases tor lives and yam should be applied, es nearly as may he, to the mining property of the church held upon lean* granted upon the payment of fines ; and that frith respect to other leases of mines (except thou ander special seta), we reermaserd that so renewals should be effected in future without the sanction of the central beard. We think oho, that in all future ar rangements respecting mines, provision should be made for treatise a part, not being more than three-fourths nor lee. than a moiety, of their prods", as capitol and not as income. We would further advise that no new mines belonging to the church should be silo wed to be opened or worked, or Simples or Leese for such purposes granted, except in accordance with the provitiouS of the Leasing Act* before referred to. With regard to the reservatim of the right of grunion wapleaus, opening pits, de., we ate n t prepared to rum. mead any interference with the existing practice. MUICILLANitoVe l'uorEiert —Batore casting our report, we think it right briefly to advert to certain coiwileneous Made of property, which are, we find, sometimes in cluded in leases. These are quarries. cleypi's, watercourses, fisheriee, ferries, tolls, wreck•, &c. There are also certain usual or periodical payments, suck as pensions, fees, tenths, &a. We are not prepared to recommend any epee& mode of dealing with this ciess of pro/piety, but would suggest that the Centrel board should be empowered, with the concurrence of the respective owners, to adopt such measures relating thereto as may seem to them to be most advisable, due regard being had to the circumstances of eschews. .

A meeting of members of the above association, and of the inhabitanui of the district genteelly, was held yesterday awning at the Birkbeek School-rooms, Windsor street, Islington ; Mr. }WARES (Kir/eland) in the chair. The proceedings commenced with a tea-party, wuiek was very numerously attended The CILLIKMAN shortly explained the objects of the financial and parliamentary reform c siotiation, vote by Whit, triennial y•rliamente, elect• ral districts, and Donee hold suffrage. Vats by ballot he looked UTION as a necessary evil calculated to prevent intimidation. Triennial parlia maws were rendered lamasery by the short-mindceee of members of parliament, who generelle soon forgot all the promises they had made on the hustings; and the nicessity of household suffrage was so obvious as to require little argu ment from him. They also advocated the abolition of the property qualification, and had set the example by abolish ms the 101, quslifiu inn for members of their council. (Hear, hear.) Thsy bad now several intelligent working men in the council, at.d were deriving great benefit from their co-operation. (Loud cheers ► The chairman, in con elusion, road an apology from Sir Francis Knowles, who had promised to preside, and irom Sir Joshua Walmt.ley, in both of which the warmest sympathy was expressed with the ob ject of the meeting. Mr. TffBREL moved: "That the urgent recessity for a radical re'orm of the Commons House of Parliament becomes daily more apparent, use proondings during the a salon which has recently closed having furnished further proof that the people of this country wen place norelimme whatever either upon the ministers of the crown or upon thous who are called the representatives of the people, and that no hope can be entertained either of economy in the disposal of the public money or of any measure tending to the amelioration of the public bur. vies., until, by • wide extension of the suffrage and other electoral and parliamentary improvements, toe House of Commons shall become an assembly of the real representa tives of the people." Mr. LEWCROFT seconded the resolution. Mr. McENTEER supported the resolution, concurring with the previous speaker as to politics being the duty of every man, as the repe.l of one iniquitous act of parliament might do more good for the people than all the churfiable in atituticns in the kingdom. lie might mention the repeal of the corn laws, which by prosiling abundAsce of cheap food for the people had benefited them more than if they had opened 600 eleemosynary establishments. The destruction of the Ern monopoly was a great act, but it was only the begin ning of the good work. Those who had benefited by that motopuly had still many other monopolies, which they cherished and preserved thetugh the means Of a House of Commons which had become merely • registration court for their high behests. Never had the people of Englund re ceived • greater insult than in the proce2dings of the last session of parliament. After an eloquert appeal for co operation to the female portion of the meeting, Mr. WED tear soncluded,amid much cheering, by supportiog the re solution. A working-man, spouting to the resolution, con tended, amid much laughter, that the franchise should be erenced to ,:he fairer portion of the community. He feared that under the plan of the uroiation many millions of the people would be still beyond the pale of the saffron. The CHAIRMAN stated, on the authority of Sir Joshua Walmeley, that the plan of the association would not, alter deducting the prisonen and the paupers, leave 600,000 of the male population without the franchise. Mr. ACLAND followed in support of the resolution. He Land that the speaker who contended that they peoposed too limited a franchise, was following the tactic of the party whose unreasonablenTs had so long delayed the repeal of the corn laws. He was like the boy who would not take the two slime of broad and butter he could sat, unless ne got the two large haves which he was not ready for. (Cbeen and laughter.) They was a practical people, and sh3uld seek for printing ends. The resolution was then put, and earned unanimously. Mr. D. W. W I itE rose to more the neat resolution, and we received with loud cheers. He moved chat : "This meeting, convened by the But Islington Reform Association, desires to record its solemn conviction that the principles and objects of the National M form Association are perfectly adapted to the wishes and requirements of the people, and feeling implicit confidence In the president and oconned, earnestly appeals to the inhabitants of the borough of Finsbury, as well as to the public in general, to concur in their support, as well by personal influence as by contribu tion to their funds." lie said he was prepared to support all the points set forth in the programme of the sameitstion. Mr. Wire concluded with a Warp ' e • IG ' inn on the public Tido.. of Mr. T. Dusoombe. Mr. HODIERNE seconded the resilution which was cu rled unanimously. Mr. E. CLARKE moved "That the freehold land move ment is a powerful auxiliary in promoting parliamentary and financial reform and in improving the moral and social habits of the people." Mr. GOLLY seconded the resolution. Thanks were then voted to the chairman and the meeting separated. TREASURE TROVE.—A singular discovery was made last week, by some excavators who were employed in form. lax • new sewer from Orchard-street and Strutton-ground, Westminster. They came woes •esespool which had bean dosed fur maay years, and there dug up • jar containing a considerable seat of money. A 'tremble took plate, and it is, therefore, impossible to my what the mould was. It is rautomberad by some of the old Inhabitants that between 40 and 60 years ago a large am was stolen from a pablie.house In Ann-street, near at hand ; and as there was a hot pu r su i t, that. Is reason to believe that the plunder was secreted on the spot when the present discovery was mad& - - • • SINGULAR SUICIDI.-011 Sunday evening, about a quarter past nine o'clock, a loud report, similar to the dia. charge of flee-arm was heard in the bedroom of a house ossupied by Mr. Johirons, slipper maker, No. 20, at.

Another meeting of the late drivers and firemen on this line tack pies. t the George, Beratford, last evening ; Mr Hors again presiding. The CHAIRMAN eald—Fellomwenkthen, it must be • source of the highest 'ratification to all of you that the completion of our resignations, the notice of which ex pired this morning, was attende d with a airenautasee which at once eurroborated the statement we ham made la refer ence to the cause which led to the differences between Mr. Hach and ourselves, mail will, lam sure be viewed by all who have taken an interest In our unartnnate dispute as the strongest possible condemnation of the conduct of that gentleman towards us. I allude to the fee% which is not knows to ail of you, that upon atttsdh g at the offices of the company to receive out pay, all those men who had been fined by Mr. Gooch for accidents over w6lch they neither had nor mild have any control hal the amount of the fines returned to them, and those who were unjustly suspended were paid their wages for the whole lied of such easpeosien. I see, fellow-workmen, that one of the newspepsn asserts, in contradiction to what we have pat forth, that the company have a sufficient staff of new esp.:leered englameen and firemen to work the line— perhaps the best possible inferential refutation of this is to be found in the fact that the company have this day diweedweed ruan'og no fewer then thirty warmer Maim, and hive altogether closed the Malden and Braintree branches. A few facts, however, relative to the ramose of the trains still at work upon the line will leave no doubt In the mind of meg parson as to the stated efficiency of the new hands, though it yet remains to be seen what detentions the night will occasion. The speaker then detailed certain detentions and imps , larities which he stated had occurred with respect to the arrival of trains at several of the stations and which he attributed to the ignorance and incompetence of the new hands misplayed. He concluded by exhorting the men to per la their present courts of steady and peaceful conduct. _ _ _ Several of the men having addressed the muting in con. Ai nt %lion of the statements of the chairman. Mr. GRANT again enlist attention to the fact of the fines baying been remitted, to show to the public that the men were net respoesible for the disputes which have rakes place, and moved the following resolution :—" That while u working men we deeply regret the necessity that has bees forced upon us by the unwarrantable preceedlnge of t►e new superintendent, Mr. Choch, of withdr►wing from our respective employments as enginemen and fireman upon the Rasters Counties line of railway, we deem it due to ourselves to cell public attention to the fact that the fines imprmed by Mr. Gooch, of which we complained, and the levying of which without totice led to our rerignations, have all been returned this morning to the parties who were Intel. and those who were uniustly suspended have been paid the wages they were entitled to during the period of such sus• pension, a circumstance veil* this meeting respectfully submits is a full acknowledgment of the iejustica we have suffered at the h►nds of the new superintendent Mr. Gooch." Mr. E. MAIMS seconded the resolution, which was Dna• curiously carriod, and the men shortly afterwards Si pirated. THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. BRITISH ARCIVEOLOCIICAL ASSOCIATION. SRVRNTR ANNUAL CONGERS& NANO/MST/IR, Atm. 19. The seventh annual congress of the British Archaize Assodatlon appointed to take place at Manetestersed Lancaster was opened at Manchester this morning, members and visitors assembling in the first instance in the Mayor's parlour at the Town-hall (gratuitously ceded to their ore by his worship as a merlon room) to enter their names, and thence proceeding to the cathedral to join in divine worship. The chief objects of the mewing, as set forth in the programme of We week's proceedings, are "to prostate a personal into - course between antiquaries and historical lc quiren w Ito rebid, In different parts of the &unify and abroad, aid to afford a week's instruction and amusement by the reading and die ' classing of papaws on antiquarian and historical subj. Ms, and in visiting and examiaing together the antiquities of the locality." Manchester itself is not vary rick in antiquities (though its historical associations are far from devoid at inte rest), and perhaps it is for this reason that three days out of the six to be devoted to this congress are to be spent at Lan a' MST, and in excursions in the ceighbonehond. The county asdosibtadly possess many handier's, relied of the olden time and the 011111111i0t.111 filed for to-morrow and next dry to Whalley Abbry,Ribchestar, Lancaeter Castle, Formes Abbey, and Hornby Castle, nil no doubt be fruitful of topics for discussion and inquiry. Manchester, however, I perceive, from a glance at the programme, will furnish mit tens kr three papers—the " Architecture and History of the Cathedral ;" on the " Philosophy of Dr. Doe, - Warden of Manchester College ;" and "au Account of lumphrey Caethiun and his :oundation." _ The company began fo assemble at the Town-haU this morning at an early hour. The greater portion of them attended the service at the cathedral, which was conducted by the Rev. I Careen Clifton and the Rev. C. H. Richton, M.A. At the , conclusion of the service the company proceeded to examine with much interest the architecture and principal objeo•s In the cathedral Itself, and remained in the aaaed edifim for a considerable time. The carvings and tube-neck work of the choir of this old beeline, g (founded in 1422 by Lard De la Warm) are in fine preeervation, and amongst the most curious in the kingdom. The grotesque representations cf some of these cartir go are r.ot certainly the meat appropriate for such a place, Including a groun of men playing at bark gammon, en ape with a b Atli., a fighting cock, a hare super intending a culin►ry aoper►tus, among which is a spit with with an impaled human being, &c. At three cclook this aternoun the opening meeting took place at the Town Hall, which was well attended, with a number of ladies as well as gentlemen pres, nt. I shall forward you a report of anything of intermit that may fall Irom the speakers for insertion in your next public tion. AUGUST 18. The "Lancashire Central Committee for the iro teenon of the Ten Noun Act " resigned this day low the hands of the delegates, who were convened for the put , - pose, the trust with which they bad been invested, since the measure for 101 hours having been carried in • form making the working hours of the entire week equal to an average of 10 per day, there was no longer a necessity for their services. A report wlich the secretary had drawn up was read, detailing the line of proc.eding adopted by t►e committee in the secceseiva stage. of the agitation. This was adored by the delegate•, and a vote of thanks passed to the committee for the zeal and ifaciency which had characterised their labours. A conversation then unwed with regard to the pirspriety of reappoint:llg the committee for the purpose of watching the opt Tilliepti and effect of the new measure, of reporti , :g from time to time to the operative', and calling delegate cr pudlic meet ings as they might deem advisable. A letter was read from Mr. &mud Fielden, recommending such • CCIRSt and ano her Item Mr. William', M.P. for Macclesfield, urging the operatives to renewed efLrts to Penne a true Ten lisurs Bill, and prorairicg his hearty support to their endeavours. A resolution wee afterwards carried, reap pointing the committee for the nbiect st►ted above ; end, after too tranuction of some other business, the delegates separated. FRIENDLY ASSOCIATION OP LONDON COSTER ICONGEKS.—Lest evening te large number of the costar mongers of London assembled at a supper and ball, given at the City Working Mate's Hall, GAden-lane, Barbican. The entertainment won designed to point out to the working classes the means by which they may rationally enjoy themselves without expense, or the use of intoxicating' I:quora. About 100 men and women sat down to supper, Mr. Henry Mayhew is the chair. The meal consisted of a variety of substantial viands, without any stimulant, imager than ginger beer. The cloth having been removed, Mr. Mayhew observed that this was the first attempt which had been mule to give the working classes an opportunity of conthinining r etional enj iy• meet with the mesas of increasing the funds of the present association; and a similar entertainment would take place st stated periods in did...rent parts ed the metropolis. Mr. George Cruikshank and other gentlemen afterwards ad dressed the company, end a variety of sentiments were pro posed, with a view to the permanent elevation of the work• ing classes. The spankers were relieved by a succession of songs and dinces, to accompaniments furnished by the' Southwark beau band. The most perfect good humour pre vailed throughout the ming, and the evident determina tion which was shown by the guests to follow the dictates of good taste proved that the tormation of the association of caetennongers is a step in the right direction. In the course of the evening a list of subscriptions was read by the Chair man, including donations from Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, M.P , Earl Stanhope, Mr. Bright. M I'., Mr. Evelyn, M I'., Sir Benjamin Hall, 111.1%, Mr. Wyld, hI.P., Mr. Charles Knight, &a. 116 FISHERIES CONVENTION.—At the bench of magistrates, at liestings, on Tnunday. Samuel Siegel.% George Snrg or, George Jeffrey, and William Wood, the crew of the Sarah and Friends, were charged with having been found in a apt cified port of the British channel with an oyster dredge on board, contrary to the convention between England and France, binding equally on fishermen of both ampules, an article of which makes it illegal for any boat to hays on board, in certain limits, "any dredge or other im p'ement for catching oysters" between the lot May and the 31st August, during which interval oysters are reckoned unwholesome. Mr kinghem appeared to prosecute on be half of Mr. Vince ;French consul at Rye), and produced the depositions against the prisoners taken in France; but the magistrates held that they could not be received in evidence without as I sprees enactment, such as was probably intended to be introduced in the Fisheries Convention Act. Tali I titberinen were discharged, with a caution that if they offended again, the witnesses neoeuary to prove the case and 5. cure their punishment would be brought over from France. The importance of this decision will be apparent when we state that from 150 to 200 vessels, of from 10 to 50 tons, are constantly employed in dredging for rysters: in the channel during the whole of the prohibited Beaton. Since the CCT - venion was agreed to between the two countries, a very evecsive oyster bed has been discovered in the middle of the channel on the ground common to both nations, stated to bo abeve 30 miles long and from 6to 10 wide. So nume rous are the oysters that the dredging rather improves the bank than injures it; and the oysters are in good condition during the whole of the prohibited period when oyster dredging is illegal. Billiegegate had, in fact, been largely supplied, and is so at the present moment, from this very spot. CHICHESTER THEATRE bas been sold by auctbn for 3501. It was built in 1796 by tontine, and formed, with Portsmouth, Southampton, and Winchester, what was cared the southern circuit, which did a good business. Messrs. Collins and Davis were the original lessees under the tontine; and it was here that Incledon made his first appearance on the boards, and received a sum mary dismissal for paying his snit to a daughter of one of the manasers. Fur many yens Chichester Theatre paid a rent of 501. • but of late years the rent has dwindled down to a very ;null sum, till it disappeared altogether. Tne theatre had scarcely been opened for the last ri:x or eight years. The purchaser concerti it into a brewhouse. HIORWAY ROBBERY NEAR BRADYORD.—Oft Friday • young man named Richard Petty was brought before the county bench, on remand from Monday, charged with highway robbery. From the evidence it appeared that about • quar ter to 11 o'clock. on the niuht of that day week, Mr. Wright wee on his way home to Brown Royd Hill, having born at the White Swan Ina, W:bsey, and as he was clueing some Held. he was attacked by two men. The pr;soner was one of them, and a man called Squire Greenhough, who has ab• 'tended was the other, both of whom were well known to Mr. Wright. The prosecutor heard footsteps behind him, and on taming round he was knocked down, his pockets were then rifled, and hla oo: ket-book, eoatainirg 4771. 19s. in gold, notes, and bills, taken from him. The whole of the stolen money, except • pound or two, has been recovered sines the robbery. The prisoner wu committed to the next assizes. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—A catastrophe by which five men lost their lives, happened on Wednesday, the 7th instant, off Piebs-point, Pembrokeshire. It apposes that the ill-fated men, named Abraham James, Henry Phillips, Willem Felland , Benjamin Phillips, and Thomas Fallend (the latter a boy seventeen years of age), were employed at the Hook colliery, worked under the superinte rich nee cf Mr. James Wilson, and had been sent with other men that morning in a mall boat to Blackpool, • distance of tour mile., for the purpose of loading two lighters or barges with Umber, which had been purchased for the use of the colliery. At night, after having accomplished their work, four of the men returned by land, being afraid to vesture by water, as it blew very hard and rained heavily, and endeavoured to persuade their companions to accompany them as they were unaccustomed to the manaftement of a boat in foul weather. They, however, duregarded the intreatics made to them, and proceeded in the boat. It is thought they must have reached Landshipping-ferry with much difficulty, as they had a head wind all the way, but when oft Picton-point (where there is always a considerable swell, especially when the wind is high), and whilst taming the boat's head toward Hook, she shipped sever al sou which nearly filled her. They became alarmed at their petilous situation, and all except the boy jumped overboard and were Instantaneously drowned, although it Is known that some of them were good swimmers. The boat continued to fill, and in a short time the boy also jumped into the water, and met with 'similar fate, notwithscondiog that the boat was at this time within a few yards of the shore. Their distvessing situation was observed by a poor woman named Eleanor Francis, living in • lonely cottage on the bank of the river, nearly opposite Landaltipping-ferry. Her miss fee assist 'nee, however, were of no avail, as the wind was too power ful for her Toles to he beard, and the thick mist which pre vailed prevented any one seeing them from Laadshippmg. The bodies of the poor fellows were picked up on the fol lowing morning in a dreadfully mantled state. their fuss having been partially sates by deb.— Welshman. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER MERSEY.—NINE LIVES LOST. Early on Sunday morning a party of friends, re siding in the immediase ueighhoorhood of Ball @tree, Croeten. street, and Lower Harrington.sereet, in Torteth park, started in a boat from the l'otters-slip, for the purpose of spi tiding the day at E asthma. The hut was in the charge ef a boatman known by the name of " With, Cooper." The following ere the names cf the parties who were on board—Mr. Blackie, William and Joseph Bleekie, two bouths, his mono; James Spencer and W il liam Spenser, rother,, aged five and seven years; Eliza Walker, seed 17, and her sister, Nancy M'Fall, aged 19; John Vaud; John Duncan ' • Themes Gerrard and John Gerrard, twins, aged 15; Richard Ashworth, end Wullie Cooper. The party proceeded safely to Barham with sail full set, although the wind was blowing very heeh at the time. After passing the day in a pleasant and convivial manner, they started on their return a little before eight o'clock in the evening. The wind by this time had considerably freshened, and the adult portion of the rally were all, we believe, the worse for liquor. They took their places in the boat about ten minutes to eight o'clock, and a man named Charles Dean, a sailmaker, of Lower Harrington street, who was at the same time on the river in a moll boat, • little distance from them, counted fifteen persons, though from the strictest inquiries made from the rela tives of those who were saved, they can only remember the above-named parties. The man Dem* states that he was about 160 yards behind, and hie account of the accident is, that the boat in !tuition was carrying too much sail, and from the main 'hut being feat, with the great weight of concurs the boat was carrying, caused her to duck, by which a large quantity of water was shipped, and the boat imme diately swamped. From Mr. Superintendent Ride, of the Liverpool polies force, who chanced to bo on board the Ruthann terry-brat at the time of the catastrophe, we have gathered the par ticulate as follows : —At a few minutes after eight o'clock on Sunday evening, as the ferry-boat was about leaving the E asthma slip, there was considerable alarm created on board by a erg raised that a number of persons were struggling an the water. Mr. Ride, with al other., ran t dtward and found such to be the fact, and it was re marked that a Railing boat, which but a few moments pre viously had been seen to leave the Cheshire shore, at the dis tance Mahout one hundred or one hundred and fifty girds in advance of the packet, was not observable on the water. A friend of Mr. Ride, Captain Stebbington, of the Nominee, who was also on board the packet, and witnessed the struggles of the unfortunate persons in the water, took off his coat and said " Rem, Ride, hold my coat, and here's my watch; I can swim for en hour together, and I'll save some of time people if it's possible.' A boat at this mo ment was seen, at about one hundred and fifty yards distance from the risco of accident, making in the direction of the sufferen, and active preparations were being made to lower the packet's boat, the very anxiety of doing which preyed en obstacle to the accomplishment of the object mutat to be affected, and it unfortunately happened that the boat, in the hurry and contusion of lowering tier into the water, received considerable damage—not so much, however, as to render h r incapable of being floated, and as soon In she was placed on the water, she was manned by the mate and several other hands from on board the steamer: but it so happened, that just as they were about to leave the packet one of the rowers let slip his oar, which was carried away by the water, and this greatly prevented the boat's program. The packet's boat succeeded in picking up two old men, a young woman, and a bey. The steamer at this time was proceeding in the direction to meet the boat, and having received the persons who had been taken trout the water on board, returned to the ship, in order to put them on shore. Animation in one of the old mea appeared to be completely suspended, hot the moment the When were placed on the steamer, active exertions were adopted to re store vitality. The persons so rescued were afterwards con veyed to the public hours connected with the hotel, where every attention wee afforded to them, and every available measure used which the circumstances of the case required. The boat instantly, upon placing the persons on board the packet, returned to the scene of the disaster. Two persons were then seen near, struggling with the waves. Captain Btebbington, who bad not resumed his vestments, and be lieving he could render them usietance, jumped overboard, swam to the boat, directed the attention of the crew to the two men in the water, and he her now the satisfaction of knowing that he was the means of saving them from a fear ful death. The persons thus saved were John Duncan, of Lower Harrington-street, and John Gerard, of Casten strut. . - At the time the accident occurred there was a fish' boat lying in the bey, near to the shore, and immediately the casualty was observed she put out with the greatest alacrity, crowded all sail, sad was fortunate enough -o rescue two or three persons. A yacht was lying at anchor, and • man, who had been one of the persons in the boat, and who manifested that he was • strong swimmer, made towards her; • rope or buoy wu thrown to him, and he was taken on board. The names of the persons who were drowned ere—William Mashie, James end William Bracer, John Youd, BelL street ; Eliza Walker and Nancy M'Fell, John Duman, John Gerrard, and Thomas Gerrard, Bell-street ; and two men who must hero been taken into the boat at Eutharn, not being of the party from Liverpool. The following are the names of the persons saved—Mr. Blackie and his sea Joseph, Richard Ashworth, Fisher street ; and Willie Cooper, Bell-street. PRIM THAD3.—The flea chip liumayoon, of 530 tons register. sailed from the West Dock, Dundee, on Mon- I day last, with a general cargo for San Francisco, which we mention as one of the many instances of an increasing export trade from our port; aed when we state that we find no less than 104 arrivals from foreign ports from the 3rd July to brd August last, it may be inferred that Dundee has had no reason yet to regret free trade. Our ship building yards are well occupied, and with a larger and finer clam of vends than we have in general on the stocks here, and such as might do honour to soy tort in Britain-860, 770. 600, 400, and 350 tons register, as well as several ethers of 200 and 300 tons. Our shipbuilders appear to have given up vessels under 200 tom, or such as are generally employed in the coasting trade, which we believe is owing to a large proportion atone manufactures andjute being brought and sent by railways, and many of our coasting traders being driven eat of the t rade; in cone.- Iquence. There is, however, no falling off in the general trade, but, on the contrary, all our spinning and weaving machinery are at full work, and every working man, who is willing and able, is employed, and the consumption of the raw material is now, and has been for a long time past gaits se great, If not greater, than at any former period. So meek for the present ; and if we may judge from the large additions, now in the course of erection, at 666666 I of our public works, the anticipations for the future must be, good and profitable business for some time to come.—North British Moil.

There was a reviler hard breeze from ',bout N. by E , and the white vile of the little fleet were soon well filled. presenting a gratifying con , treat to the meagre condition they were in on the previous matches of the week.

COLLISION AT THE LEICESTER RAILWAY STATION. —On Friday morning, at seven o'clock, the penenger train for Ashby and Burton was just leavi.:g the Leicester station, when a serious accident occurred, rut happily not attended with fatal consequence,. tip trains, on leaving Leicester station, have to cross toe clown line, and as this trans was so crossing, a down goods-train, ahiah was due at Leicester at half-past six o'clock, but WstS halt an hour behind time; ran into it. The signal tad been given for the roods train to stop, but it war such a very heavy train, consisting of 83 or 84 carriages, and the approach to Leicester ration being a de cline, that the driver was unable to stop it soon enough. Tae engine of the good..train struck the projecting portion of the bre. k of the passenger train, which it meshed in, and faced a lag: piece of it through the front compartment of a second class carriage which was next it. The steps of the second-class carriage were broken close off, and the side of the first and second compartments of the carriage were smashed in. The front coupe of a first class carnage was also smashed in in such a ma..ner, that had it contained any passenger he could scarcely have escaped alive. Fortunately, however, there was no firuclass passenger, nor were there any passengers in the first or a. cend comp ailments of the second-class carriage. In the last compartment, which was not broken, there were two panergera, tnd in a third-class carriage at the back of the train there were several who were shaken aid slightly bruised, but none of them sustained any serious injury. The guard who was in the break of the pas senger train saw his dangerous position just in Limo to jump out on the other aide, sad so escaped unhurt. None of the passengers who bad been bruised were to seriously hurt as to prevent them proceeding on their journey in other car riages, which were IJOSI provided for the purpose.—Leces • tershire Mercury. DEATH BY DROWNING IN YORK.—On Friday evening an icquest was held before John Wood, Esq., coro ner, at the Railway Tavern, Tanners' Moat, n the body of a respectable•looking moo, apparently about sixty veers of age, who had been found drowned. On Wednesday veiling, between seven and eight o'clock, the deceased, who bad arrived in York by one of the trains (we believe from the south), put up at Mr. Gray's Temperance Hotel, at the end of Thadson•street. The address upon his luggage was " Iliac Coulson, passenger to York." At about ten o'clock next right he was observed by the side of the river Ouse, Ever Northstreet Postern. He had been seen there Woo daring the' afternoon. Mr. Gray sat up waiting for him till two o'clock on Friday morning, but he never returned. Hi s body was subsequently found in the river. Upon his shirt were the initials " J.C.," No. 2. and in his peekets were found 151. 4s. 9d., a patent lever silver watch, at tacked to a bitch ribbon, with a gold *eel and key, two silk handkerchiefs, and other articles. Some keys were bond which opened his luggage, and among other articles were discovered two documents, one of them being a mortgage bond for 20W. from the Cock.rmouth and Work ngton Railway Company to Isaac Coulson, of Cum wbintom, near Carlisle, Cumberland, gentleman • and the other a certificate of share held by Isaac Cou lson in the Ralston Joint• Stock Bristles Company, but in this instance he was described as a farmer. There can, therefore. be no doubt of the fact that the deoeued was the Isaac Coulson therein spoken or, nod there is little doubt also that be committed suicide, though there was no evidence clearly to establish that suck was the case. Under all the cir cumstances the jury could come to no ether conclusion titan that the deceased had been "Found Browned.' i lEhtuTlr o n l "Thursda y .lE SINKING if .t joie 19, cad Thome Jones, aged It, b o atmen, were drowned in p Williams , vlt. t i e n early thel o cabinrga of nahair large carnal, which was lying in the G Penytlarran Iron Works, Merthyr.
