till' nation. We are the more surprised at them, because there now exists a special proCssion of liberality and amelioration in all affairs of Go vernment. The facility, if not the possibi litv of obtaining bail in civil actions, seems by them to be closed ; and, therefore, to pay whatever is demanded, or sworn to, or to go to gaol, appears, in our judgment, to be the only practical alternative. It behoves all men to read these rules, —and, above all, our vigilant guar dians, the Members of both Houses. For our par t we consider them in various senses as the most questionable productions of our times. While, however, we formally arraign these rules at the bar of the public, and of both Houses of Parliament, we give their Lordships credit for their new sehedule of declarations, by which those instruments of imposition are shortened to a third or fourth of their late absurd length. This is amelioration, and what improved intelligence has long demanded ; and if they had equally simplified and eased bail, instead of imposing conditions which are not warranted by claims of incurred debt, and which in real life are impracticable, we should have had far mere pleasure in complimenting them, than in presuming to express our ungracious reprobation. Good, however, comes out of evil; and there can be no doubt that the abhorrence which all jurists and publicists have for years expressed, in regard to the iniquity of demanding any bail in mean process, will be so far increased and exasperated by these rules, that we may reasonably expect, ithin three years, to see such a modification of the whole law, as will render these rules a memo rable monument of the laws of lawyers ! No bail whatever ought to be exacted, unless on affidavit It is slims by eircumetanees that the party is preparing o proposing to abscond. 13ail should not be taken for more than a fixed mous, of costs. Bail unified to be creditable by a Justice of the Peace. Clergyman, Churebwardeas,Oveneers,orTazgstberers,or any two of them near the residence of the bail, should not be re quired to justify. Each bail should merely declare himself worth the al leged debt, and 151. or BM meta. Regulations like theirs, are what, in 1831, the public expected from the Legislature and the Judges—when lo ! to the great surprise of all men, forth come these Rules of Court ! Private letters from Vienna state, that •ery great distress prevails in that capital on account of the Cholera Morbus approaching. The town has been divided into several districts by the Police. It is calculated that no less than 16,000 weavers are out of employment. Th. Government have set a great number of them to work at the fortifications, particularly at Lintz, which is about to be formed into an immense encampment. There is also a great scarcity of money. Austria is also said to be making preparations to form a camp of several thousand men in the environs of Podgorse, as well as to construct a bridge over the Vistula, near Cracow. A Mexican mail has arrived this morning, sailed the sth July from Vera Crus : the papers are void of interest, and it appears that the Republic wu enjoying tranquility. Imports Paid ...

He soon came to him self, and though much enfeebled by the injuries be sustained, and the exereons he made, we are happy to say that he is now in a fair way of re covery. Another gentleman lashed himself and his wife to a plank, and both reached the shore. Unhappily, however, the gentleman died almost immediately. The lady, we understand, is doing well. The Liverpool Papers, received yesterday, are full of details of the dreadful loss of lives sustained by this distressing event, but vary in their accounts of the calamity. The Liverpool Journal says there were 200 per sons on board, including the crew. Among these was a Mr. Nuttall, of Bury, who had made up a party of 26 persons from that town on a trip of pleasure to Bangor and Beaumaris, of which party of 26 he and a Miss Whittaker were the only persons saved. The following is his ac count of the event : " When the vessel arrived off the Floating-light the sea appeared rough, and Mr:Taney, of Bury, being in common with others, greatly alarmed. went dawn to the cabin, where the Captain war at dinner, and requested him to put back. His reply was, I think there is a d—d deal of fear on board, and very little danger. If we were to turn back with passengers: it would. never do—we should have no profit. All expressed a great anxi ty to turn back, but the captain still refused. He was repeatedly asked to make signals of distress, but he declined. Soon after nightfall the vessel began to fill with water and the pumps were put to work ,hut still it gained on them, and the Captain was re quested once more to make signals of distress. He would not make signals, neither would he hang out a light, and the result of his obstinacy was, that the vessel quitted her course, and struck at twelve o'clock at night. The scene then was awful in the extreme; 50 persons were at once thrown into the sea, amidst the screams of the survivors, by the lurching of the vessel. When the vessel struck, the passengers rushed forward, but the Captain ordered them aft, and on see ing him consult with the Mate, a gentleman cried out, " It is all over with us ; the Captain and mate are preparing to leave the vessel." At that instant the Captain fell, or stumbled overboard, and was the first person drowned. Mr. Nuttall says he was intoxicated all the way.— The vessel continued whole until one o'clock, wheal she broke, as it were, across, and the remainder of the passengers, pith the exception of those saved, were hurried into the sea. The women and chil dren collected in a knot together, and kept embrac ing each other, keeping up all the time the most dismal lamentations. When tired with crying, they lay against each other, with their heads re clined, like inanimate bodies ; but when the vessel went to pieces, at half-past one o'clock, the shrieks of anguish and despair were terrific and deafening. At this awful moment Mr. Nuttall was precipitated into the sea ; he was encum bered with all his clothes, a great coat, and, in addition to these, a fine little boy took refuge on his back. He could nut swim, end must have sunk, had not Providence thrown a rope in his way. He seised-it eagerly, and was guided by it to a part of the wreck that adhered to the wheel of the engine. Here he found Miss Whittaker, a boy, and six others. They remained here in the presence of death until seven. In the hope of at tracting notice, they hung out Miss Whittaker's shawl; and this signal having been seen from land, the life-boat came off, and carried them from the wreck. Pre% ious to her arrival the tide had carried them out to sea, and they must soon have perished, had not assistance arrived." The following particulars we take from the letter of an intelligent private correspondent, dated Caer narvon. Aug. 20 : The melancholy intelligence reached Caernarvon soon after daybreak on Thursday morning, and the whole town was thrown int) the greatest conster nation. A partial stop was put to business, from the fears of many that some relative might have been on board the vessel on their way from Liver pool to Bangor. Every vehicle was immediately put in requisition from this place to Bangor. 1 made one of a small party, and on arriving at Ban gor we immediately crossed over to Beaumaris, where the scene I witnessed beggars description. The vessel, it appears, reached Puthn's Bay at o'clock in the morning, and it was at this place that the passengers first discovered the horrors of their situation. The night was unusually boisterous and dark ; the sea ran high, and the wind blew hard from the east. It was soon discovered that she was filling fast with water—the fires were consequently extinguished. In this dreadful situa tion the Rothsay Castle continued for more than four hours, and just as the break of day afforded the passengers a glimmering of light, to see the Sc . tual horrors of the scene, the voice of a Liverpool pilot was heard —" It is all over ! wear e lost ! we are lost rand it was found that the vessetstruck with 'a tremendous crash upon a han's of sand known by the name of the Dutchman's Bank. This final in timation of their fate was received by the passen gers with one loud hysterical shriek, the last heard by the survivors, for all was soon quiet, the vessel going to pieces instantly. The first intimation of these horrors on shore was received through the medium of a man on the Anglesey coast, who, standing on the beach, perceived what he thought to be the mast of a sunken vessel just above the surface of the water. By the aid of a telescope he soon however discovered that it was the chimney of a steam packet. He spread the news quick as lightning; got a boat, and lowed to the spot. — This man bad the gratifying task of picking up three individuals who were clinging to the wreck, and bringing them safe to the shore. His example was immediately followed at Beaumaris, and about twenty boats put out to sea in the hope of saving some of the unfortunate passengers. Up to yesterday it was found that 22 persons only had been saved, the whole of whom undoubt edly owe their preservation to the poor fellow who was up so soon, and discovered their situation from the beach. T he people of Beaumaris thronged to the sea shore for miles, in the gloomy hope of re ceiving the mortal remains of those unfortunates whom the sea might throw up to them. Their task, though painful, was so far satisfactory, that upwards of 30 dead bodies, up to the (present moment, have been recovered. A Mr. and Mrs. Payne, of Man chester, were picked up, lashed to a plank, floating ZITOITII AT VZIA CRUI.-10313. 126,171 dollars. 37,386 ditto. We hear, that 38,400 dollars have come by the Mexican packet, to pay in part the dividends. The late contenttons in the London University merits special notice, and it is difficult to divest the proceedings relative to Professor PA TT 'sow, of the character of error. It is, at the ...me time, utterly impossible, that such discords should not ruin an establishment which ought to have been sacred to concord, order, and science. In the Hovel of Loans last night, some Peers entered on discussions about the coronation, fitter for the committee of management. Lord Wick low then was elaborate in defence of the Irish yeo manry, but Lord Grey indicated a settled determi nation to dispense with such a partisan force. The Archbishop of Canterbury announced a bill against pluralities; and the Duke of Richmond caused a Bill to be read a second time, for giving unlimited power to parishes to employ land for the poor, and to enclose 50 acres of common land for their use. In the House of COMMONS, Col. Evans pre sented a most impressive and powerful petition from Mr. and Mrs. Deacle, which we propcee to insert entire to-morrow. He introduced it by some very suitable observations, but the Speaker thought it ought not to be received, since it com mented on public reports of speeches in the house. Nlr. O'Connell and Mr. Hume thought it unobjec tionable, and it was read. Mr. F. Baring,and Sir T. Baring, Mr. Wilde, Mr. Hume, Mr. O'Connell, Sir Francis Burdett, &c. spoke upon it chiefly in commendation, and it was ordered to be printed. Sir R. Peel sought information about an ad ournment, but Lord Althorp stated that none could take place, except over the day of the Coronation. Lord Eliot, in a long speech, rebutted certain observations made by Mr. O'Connell in a former debate, exposing the misconduct of the King of I lolland to hisßelgic subjects. On which Mr.O'Con nell, in as splendid an extempore speech as ever t , as made, entered into a complete history of tl.e %exatious and injurious treatment which Belgium' had experienced from Holland, proving every point by reference to facts. The House then resolved itself into a Committee a Supply in regard to many minor points. .A debate foll owe d on t he second reading of the ins Duties Bill, in which much was asserted 4',01.it there being a breach of faith with Portugal, arid in particular by Mr. Hume on the flagrant beach of faith with the wine growers at the Cape. circumstances of the lons, and also of the capability for performing the voyage ; there are numerous rumours, but it would be unjust to all the parties concerned to give them publicity, especially under the present feelings of intense excitement. The accuracy of the following additional parti culars, with which we have been furnished by the friends of a very respectable gentleman, who is among t he number of the survivors, may be relied upon. When the vessel struck, and was going down, Mr. Tinney, jun. the gentleman alluded to, who is an excellent swimmer, and two others, stripped off their clothes, and swam to a plank which was floating in the sea, and contrived to cling to it. He soon became insensible, and , remained in that state, not having the slightest ' remembrance of what passed afterwards, or of Among the passengers were Mr. and Mix.

It is also supposed that Mr. Jones and Mr. Faulkes were on board. 'They were the masters of Ban gor school. We regret to find that among those who perished were Mrs. Egerton Leigh and family; Mr. Leigh wan drowned about twelve months since at Burn. At one o'clock this afternoon, &Cabinet Council assembled at the Foreit:n Office, where they cot tinned in deliberation for a considerable period.

MAIM 1 FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE SHOCKING CATASTROPHE OF THE ROTHSAY CASTLE. In the House of Commons last night, Col. Sibthorp very properly called the attention of Government to this painful subject, and Mr. Lamb, Under-Secretary of State, replied. Colonel Sibthorp hoped the Government would give attention to the circumstances attending the melancholy loss of the Rothssy steamer, and would bring in a bill that might have the effect of pre venting such catastrophes from negligence. Mr. Lamb said he had only beard of the melan choly fact through the ordinary channels ; but the most particular inquiry should be made, after which it might be judged proper to proceed to make some enactment with s view to prevention. From a SECOND EDITION of the Caernarvon Herald, we learn that a Coroner's Inquest was immediately assembled. Beavx•ats, SATURDAY, Titans O'CLOCK. The following is a list of the Jury :—Sir R. B.W. Bulkeley, Bart. Wm. Henry Turton, Esq. George Desbrisay, Esq. John Wright, Esq. Thos. Gray, Esq. Richard Lewis, Gent. John Batley, Gent. John Lloyd, Gent. George Walmsley, Esq. John Jones, Gent. Erasmus Griffith, Gent. Hugh Ro berts, Gent. The Jury met at five o'clock on Thursday after noon, in the Grand Jury Room, Beaumarie, exa mined several witnesses, and adjourned at eight o'clock until the following morning, when they re sumed their melancholy duty. We subjoin the verdict on the 17 persons now lying dead. From the letter addressed by the Grand Jury to the Co roner it will be seen that, in their opinion, a heavy responsibility rests with those who could place such a vessel on the station, and intrust it to a captain and a mate who, it seems, were in a state of in toxication when the vessel struck on the Dutch man's Bank. We have just seen two or three respectable persons who were saved from the wreck ; and in our next number we shall be able, we trust, to add many interesting particulars. It would be injustice to the inhabitants of Beau marls not to renew the expression of our sense of what is so eminently due to their humanity and kindness on this awful occasion. The town Magistrates, and other gentlemen in official situa tions, were in constant attendance at the Grand Jury-room, from six o'clock in the morning till a late hour at night, desirous to afford any informa tion in their power to anxiously inquiring friends. The portion of the property saved from the wreck is now remaining, to be identified, in the Grand Jury-room. In many instanres it has been above measure distressing to see the conclusion to which some of these articles have led, as to the deplorable fate of those to whom they had belonged. The following letter to the Editor of this journal, from Mr. Jones, the town-clerk, will evince the anxiety that is felt to give the public the most accurate 1 1 information : " TO Till IDITOR or Till CAUXAITOX 1111.4140.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 20.—1 t will be some time before the names of the persons drowned wiil be known, as many of them had visited Liverpool on an excursion of pleasure, and had gone for the pur pose of seeing Menai Bridge, and returning the following day, without their friends in the country being aware of their intentions. I saw one young woman in dreadful affliction ; she, with nine of her relations, had come on a visit to Liverpool ; seven of the party went to Btaumaris by the unfortunate vessel, and were all drowned. There were very few of the inhabitants of this town on board. It is to be hoped that the strictest and at the same time most impartial investigation will he made into the . _ ROTHSAY STEAMER. shout two miles from the place where the resat] sunk. They were brought to shore alire.but the unfortunate man had received so much injury from exhaustion and other causes, that he expi-ed on being con veyed along shore. His wife had the melancholy task of returning to Liverpool with the dead body of her husband in the Uewellyn steamer, on Friday. A little child was most miraculously saved on one of the paddle wheels. The survivors, almost all, sink the recollectian of their own sorrow in the untimely fate of a gentleman, his wife, and five beautiful children. The whole perished, including the servant who attended them. The children are described as having clung to the arms, legs, and other parts of their father, who, being as it were in imprisonment, was prevented, if be bad had the power, from rendering them the smallest assistance. It is said that the gentleman, seeing his approaching fate, clasped his unfortunate fa. mily in his arms, and was praying fervently to hea ven when the waters closed in upon him, and he, with his little innocents, was sent into the pres=ence of Him who knoweth all hearts. A fine child, it is supposed, trot into a box for safety, for one WAS thrown ashore, which, upon being opened, was found to contain the body. As to the causes which led to the melancholy catastrophe, a friend (Captain Galt, of the Eclipse,) informs me, that he has made every inquiry, and the result is, that the Rothsay Castle got round the buoy on the north end of the Dutch man'. Bank, and had proceeded up the river as far as the tower on Puffin Island ; when, all at once, the steam got so low, that the engine would not keep the vessel in its proper course. Capt. Galt, who is an exceedingly good sailor, says that Captain Atkin son was disobeyed by the man at the helm. Capt. Atkinson ordered him to put the helm a starboard. The man refused to do this, and per,isted in putting into port. The mate perceiving this, ran aft and took the helm from the man, and put to starboard again. In the meantime the Captain and some of the passengers got the jib up. Capt. Galt says, no doe bt theCaptaaa did this intending to wear her round, and bring her head to the northward ; but, in his opinion, it could make no difference which way her head was turned, as she was on a leo shore, and there wee no steam to work her off. He then asks, why there was no steam ? The reply to this is a melancholy one. Ilse fireman says a deal of water had been finding its way into thu vessel all day, and some time before she got into the river tho bilge r umps were choked. In conseqaence of this the water in the hold overflowed the coals, so that in renewing the fires a deal of water went with the ccals, and slackened the fire, which made it impos sible to keep the steam up. Captain Galt thinks that great blame is attributable to the firemen then in charge in not giving notice that such was the case; for it is heart-breaking to reflect that where the ves sel then was she conk have been held by anchor in safety. Capt. Galt acquits in his own mind, Capt. I Atkinson or his pilot from any blame, as it appears to him that the vessel came fairly into the Chan nel, and had the steam been kept up, she would have got to her t lace of destination in perfect safety. Captain Galt took the Eclipse steamer to Puffin Island on Thursday and Friday mornings, in order to renclet all the assistance that laid in his power. He awards the greatest praise to the Beaumaris boatmen for their prompt and unflinch ing exertions in saving the lives of 18 persons.— Mr. Williamson, a gentleman of fottune, who owns the Campadore yacht, had the gratification of string the lives of two fellow-creatures. They were holding on to pieces of the wreck, and drifting about in the Bay, and could not have survived many minutes longer. One of these was a gentleman well known in Lancashire—a Mr. Whittaker, of Bury, an ironmonger. At Beaumaris, Conway, Bangor, and Carnarvon every thing wears an aspect of funeral gloom. The yachts and vessels in the bay and in the river have their flags half mast high. The Beaumaris Re pute is postponed this year in consrquence of the lamentable event. At Carnarvon one poor woman is in n state of distraction from the effects of grief, her only son being amongst those who perished on the Ile() tunate occasion. Thirty-eight bodies were found along the coast between Conway and Aber. LIST OF THE BODIES FOUND, AND DESCRIP- TIOTI OF THF.III DRESI. No. I.

A schooner, belonging to a nephew of Alderman Wright, was lying off Reaumaris Green; the per sons on board heard the bell ring in the Rodney Castle. 'but in consequence of no light being dis played, which the captain refused to allow, they could not tell in what direction to go.to render as sistance. They eventually saved several persons who had been seven hours in the waist. Such was the state of anxiety of the poor crea tures, who had so long been hanging to the wreck, that they imagined when taken up at seven o'clock in the morning, that it was noon. One individual, rescued by the schooner, had totally boat his sight, and not being aware of his misfortune, his constant prayer was that the day might break. He has since recovered his sight.

Mr. Rudland, one of Cie band, who was most miraculously preserved by cling to his ban drum ; Mr. Tinne, of Liverpool, and Mr. Whittaker, brother to Mrs. Payne, who, when taken out of the water, had completely hut his eye-sight, but is now recovered.

Hughes. sail ; Evans Evans, sailor, and four others, names unknown. It is now believed that the Captain was washed overboard by the violence of the waves breaking over the deck. During ,the whole of Thur•thy, a number of boats were employed in searching for the bodies of the sufferers, a number of which were picked up, while others were washed ashore. With reference to this last awful calamity, the verdict and letter of the coroner's inquest speak volumes, and, if true, as an example to all others, the relatives of the deeeased ought to bring actions against the proprietory for employing an incom petent vessel and two drinking and besotted °dicers ; and if their bodies are recovered, instead of burial, they ought to be gibbatted on the coast as an ex ample to drunken captains as long as their hones endure. It is impossible to reflect, without unspeakable horror, on all the circumstances, and u far as de pends on human precaution and nautical science, it• is such a catastrophe as never ought to be allowed to produce similar suffering to what was endure•l by the unfortunate dead, and such unavailing afflictions as remain to be borne by their surviving friends and affectionate relatives.
