The defendants in this case were the Anstra him Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company, and the plaintiff had been a passenger by one of the steamers belonging to the company during a return voyage from Australia. The steamer in question was the Melbourne, the unlucky incidents of whose outward von age acquired so much notoriety last year. 4to that occasion the vessel had to put in at Lisbon for repairs, and was quitted by a large number of the in tending passengers, who perforined the voyage in other ships. This eireumstainee was indirectly connected with the present action, as a porti nn of the provisions left unconsumed, through the redact* in the num ber of persons conveyed out, was reshipped for the homeward trip, and the bad condition of the food supplied formed one of the main grounds of the com plaint urged by the plaintiff. The latter was one of many passengers who paid second-cabin fare for the return voyage from Melbourne to the Thames. The tickets were -11/. Ilk. each ; and it was alleged that plans of the vessel and berths, A - c., were shown to !win, and Juliet ary table was ftkoexhibited by an agent 14a- the el ompany in Australia, presenting a very liberal allowance of provisions and necessaries. Those constituted the tenns of a contract which the plaintiff thus set forth in his declaration : lu isitisideration that the would take a sei. cabin passage to London on lsiard their ship 1..1.411. 105., the dciendants pro Him the% would supply I ' with a Meet , ll , l. clamm ' , Ramage, HMI Wlllll4 amply him with all secombelass e i diin requisites except bed, bedding, and linen, and that they would also supply 1 • with meat, slritak, proviwittii., awl other nobles iu certain quantities and prop/a - thins, und in a v 4 .111611 ORR 1111 l .r altll by a certain scale ; that a 1 . 4 , 11111mq RAM liecordingly entered into lietwreti lhnu, mid the plaintiff paid the iiliove to the deleiiilsiitia, a n d went OH is , atrl the v e s sw i, imieee d e d 1.11 the co%aue, and that the arrived its London in the or dinary ( sows,. on the ;Ili of Attly ; yet that the defendants did not pertiiren their contract in this, that they did not provide the plaintill with • priqwr berth as ft see,tlmi-elsm,, cabin pßmikenger, mail slid not supply Mon with secotitl-claits cubits requisites, luu refusill Alt du se, Mid aid not pro% ide hint with mesa. drink. stud pr., % isiiins ill the , 11101111itiem or pi oportiotis spceitied by the seale, but meat, drink, and pro‘imitiaa IN bail and inferior quality and in insufficient and less quantities, and permitted the ship anti the decks and ~slits. to he NMI rcwnin during the ‘iiyuge in filthy and unwholesome state. by means whereof the plaim till' sittfervil in his health. OW !Uttered great annoyance and ituory. Many of the other second-class passengers coin planned of a similar breach of eontract, and eleven in all had brought their actions against the company, after vainly endeavouring to obtain redress by me morialising the board of directors. The ease of a Mr. Smith was, however, selected to begin with—the verdict of course governing all the rest. Damages were laid at 200/. For the defendants seven pleas were adduced, in one of which they denied the alle gation that. any contract had been entered into with the plaintiff, and in others specifically repudiated time charges brought against them upon the matters of fact, except so far as related to a deficiency of pro isions during some portion of the voyage, which they admitted, but excused on the ground that it was occasioned by the prolongation of the passage through unavoidable perils of the sea. Evidence of a Ivry soluminous character, and descending to very minute particulars, touching the treatment of the passengers, the state of their cabins, the quality of the accommodation provided tin• them, and the con dition of the commissmiat generally on board the Melbourne during the voyage in question was adduced. I • ltimatel• a verdict was returned for time plaintiff, with ;1)/. eamages. It was afterwards agreed upon that the other cases should be discontinued, the defend ants paying costs and damages to each plaintiff at the rate of NV. to single men and ;fit to the married couples. This, it was stated, would constitute a mulct upon the company to the amount of 11101. for damirzes alone. trtibtots and Q)fftnus. A T.oury WAIT which hounded a yaril in South John street.

The ennw of the neeident was the weight of iron plates standing up against the wag, which rushed it over. SATURDAY, A Witoti: Horst: mitt) were suffocated last week at Elsecar, near Rotherham. Their name was Sint. ler. The father was employed as a night worker in the ironworl s of the place, and the cottage in win. h they lived was attached to the back of a blast-fur nace. On the morning of the 2nd instant the man returned from his work and could gain n admit. tanee. Forcing the door, he found his wife, Wm, daughter, and a lodger named Warwick, all lying dead and suffocated. Fumes of sulphureous odor r filled the place, and a crack in the wall, opening into the furnace, was afterwards discovered. It was evi dent that acrid vapours from the smelting ore had obtained entrance, of so deleterious effect that tin y proved fatal before the sufferers could escape or sum mon aid. At the inquest held on Saturday last a verdict was returned '• That death had been caused by inhaling the vapour of cyanide of potassium." 'fur l'ArkET SHIP E. Z., Captain Hartshorne, which sailed from Liverpool for New York on the 1:1111 ultimo, put back on Monday last, having 'meow_ tend a gale on the 211th ult., which swept the decks and washed overboard thirteen of the passengers and five of the crew. As the Bishops of Natal and Graham's Town were proceeding last week to Cuthlestlen palace to meet a party at the Bishop of l I xtord's, the carriage was upset near Wheatley, and the right reverend brethren were extricated tuna their perilous situatii n by being helped out through the window, as the do. r could not be opened. Their lordships fortunately sustained no injury. SINCE the m u rder of the Messrs. Jenny, by Itual•, at Wymondham-hall, Norfolk, the mansion has been untenanted, tool, although many persona were willing to t a k e it, they cannot procure any servants who would live in the house, dO great is the superstitious feeling which still exists with reference to a place which has been the scene of so dreadful a tragedy. The panics are willing to let for nothing, for two years, to do away with the prejudice. A Diu:Anvil. AceinENT occurred on the 20th ult. at. Cowdenbeath Colliery, near Dunfermline, five men having been precipitated to the bottom of the shaft, a depth of th►rty-six fathoms. Three of the numb* r were killed on the spot, a fourth died next mornitn , and the recovery of the fifth is perfectly hopeleto. The accident occurred in consequence of the break ing of the rope. IN our late edition last week we announced, in nearly positive tel the loss of a Hull steam-ship named the Marshall, Captain llohrs, from flatubui g to Hull. No doubts whatever are now entertain( d as to the fate of the unfortunate vessel. A number of fishing-boats which have arrived at tirimsby report having seen the mastheads of the Manthall above low-water mark near Kilitsea, about five miles from the Newsand float, and, as near as can be guessed, in very close proximity to the place where the colli sion with the Woodhouse occurred. No trace has yet been discovered of any of the crew, or of the rs) passengers who were known to have been on board the unfortunate steamer. All, it is feared, have perished. No fewer than six "schools" or gangs of London sharpers have been making the tour of Scotland this autumn, and playing at thimbles, cards; and other fraudulent games, to entrap the unwary, both in railway-trains and at faits, markets, and other places of public resort. Their tricks are supported by great skill and address, and there is reason to believe that their visit to the north has proved a verb• lucre tive one. THE METROPOLITAN SEE 01: SVHNEY will he offered to the energetic Bishop of New Zealand on his return to England. This translation will place a dignitary, who has justly been called the " Apostle of the South," in a metropolitical see, whose item - tance eminently requires a bishop habituated to cc. lonia' Willits and feelings, skilled in missionary woa, and with age and practical knowledge such as ASH allied the confidence of an important people. With out doubt the appointment will be as popular in Au - tralia as in England. The Venerable f )(laving Had field, Archdeacon of NVaimate, will probably sweet(' Bishop Selwyn in the see of New Zealand. CuiunnxiE 1 .
