THE SUN, "LONDON, WEEDNKS9AT FNEII.IINr4, OOTOBgg 22, 1802. IRE GREAT GALE. MORE CALAMITOUS LOSSES. Upwards of 100 wrecks and casualties were posted on the loss-book at Lloyd's in the course of yester day and the preceding day, and the telegrams whic h keep coming in from the various outports furnish a sad addition to the already long catalogue of dis asters. Scarcely any portion of the coast seems to have escaped the fury of the storm. A large ship with a valuable cargo was entirely lost during the height of the gale on Sunday night, on the Kentish Knock, some few miles below the entrance to the Thames. The Fyenoord, screw steamer, Capt. Vaut Hoft, which arrived in the river yesterday morning from Rotterdam, reports that about 7 o'clock on the previous ( Monday) morning a large ship was seen on the Knock. The Fyenoord at once bore up, and the ill-fated vessel was at once discovered to be the barque Penningham, Capt. W. Patten, from Jamaica to London. She was fast going to pieces, and the steamer had just time to rescue the captain, his wife, pilot, and all on board, and brought them to London. In the Swin and adjacent channels the shipping suffered severely. The schooner Thrifty, bound to Rouen, with a cargo of iron from Grangemouth, was wrecked on the Long Sand, and it is reported that the wives of the captain (Trueman) and the mate perished. One of the large ships which was observed to drive from her anchors and pass away has been heard of. She proves to have been a large timber ship called the Sir Allan M'Nab, from Quebec to London. The fury of the gale having caused her to part from her cable, she was driven on to the op posite (French) coast, where she became a wreck. The crew succeeded in landing at Dunkirk, and were sent on to Oste nd. Anothe r of the ships which drove, the Elizabeth, from London, for Belize, for the safety of which great fears were entertained, has been reported as being off the the North Foreland, in charge of boatmen. Ramsgate harbour is getting crowded with shipping, which have met with d am age in the gale, and have put in to repair. The loss in anchors and chains is something prodigious. Respecting the shocking shipwreck which took place in Chale Bay at the back of the Isle of Wight, the Rev. Mr. Theobald, of Chale Rectory, has for warded a letter to Lloyds, communicating some par ticulars of the catastrophe. It appears that the ship Lotus, from Demerara to London, sighted St. Ca therine Light about 10 o'clock on Saturday night, the wind blowing heavy S and by E. About 20 mi nutes afterwards the crew wore ship, but finding that they could not keep her course and were driv ing in, endeavoured to wear again, but could not, and in the course of five minutes or so she struck upon the rocks, and of those who were on board only two were saved. She was a large class vessel, and had a valuable cargo. The names of those who were drowned were—Wm. M'Neil, master; Richd. Watt, chief mate; William Henderson, second mate; Mr. E. Murray, of Dublin, a passenger ; Peter Montgomery, steward and cook ; Hugh Ferguson, carpenter ; Robt. Paterson, Neil Durrock, Wm. Lamb, John Kelly, Michael Matthews, and Wm. Dunkin. The other ship Ellen Horsfall, from Alex andria to Sunderland, which also struck upon the same section of coast on the Isle of Wight, has be come a total wreck, and her cargo washing out. A melancholy tale of the scenes which were wit nessed in the vicinity of Orfordness has been sent up by Lloyd's agent. The wind blew with terrific force from SW during the night, and about 11 o'clock the Good Intent, brigantine, of Weymouth, from the north, was driven on shore near the martello tower. A line was thrown over the wreck by the coastguard mortar apparatus, by which means four of the crew were saved ; but the master, mate, and one hand were drowned. A line also thrown from the mortar ap paratus rescued the crew of the schooner Port Glas gow, of Whitby, from Warkworth to Boulogne, which struck upon. the Sizewell bank. Two other vessels are reported to have sunk on Sizewell bank, and a small vessel is stated to have been bot .tom up a short distance to the northward of Aldborough. The Eclipse, of and for Exmouth, from Middlesborough, is reported to have foun dered a short distance to the northward of Orford ness :luring the fearful weather of Sunday night, and that only the boy has been saved. The brig Hugh, of Shields, for London, which went upon the Sizewell bank, was in collision with the schooner London, of Rochester, and afterwards struck on the bunk. The captain and mate of the London got on board the Hugh,.and when the latter went upon the sand, the crew Wok to the rigging, and the survivors were taken off at six o'clock. The cap tain of the London and three of the crew of the ,Hugh were drowned. The ports down the east coast are thronged with disabled coasters, and it is feared that sad havoc has been caused among the fishing boats. The schooner Garrott, of London, which ran into Lowestoft, re ports having passed at eight o'clock on Monday morning, two miles off Southwold, the stern of a fishing lugger, with nets and floats attached. The sloop Ark, belonging to Goole, is reported to have gunk on the inside of the Newcome Sand, but no thing has been heard of her crew. g.elow Flamborough Head the gale told with terrible effect. The damage done in the neighbour hood of the Tyne has already been noticed. ABer wick pilot boat, containing four men, is supposed to have been overwhelmed by the wind and sea which raged along that coast on Sunday night, and to have been lost. Fears are also entertainql that an Italian barque, called the Francisca Maria, which left Leith on Saturday morning for Shields, foundered in the saorm. The tug which had her in tow was com pelled to slip, in consequence of the fearful state of the weather, and at that time the barque's bulwarks were at times under water. No tidings have been heard of the ship. GREAT YARMOUTH, OCT. 21. The crew of the Hannah Booth, which came on shore at Caistor, as reported yesterday, was saved by the Caistor litaboat. The crew of the Cambria, which got upon the Barber Sand, were also rescued by the Gorleston lifeboat. The brig Salonica, of and from Sunderland, sunk in the roads, and her crew, as well as that of the Integrity, of Hartlepool, have not been heard of. The master and mate of the sloop Two Brothers, of Hu.ll, were received at the Sailors' Home. The master was accompanied by his wife, and it appears that thy' sloop during the heavy storm was found to be matting water fast, and the master, discover ing that thy' vessel was sinking, made signals to a foreign schooner in the offing. This was about eight miles to ti:e north of the Dudgeon light ship. The foreign schooner bore down to the assistance of the sloop, but the set was running so high that the crew found it iuopo,”ible to lay their vessel alongside of their distressed comrades. Never- Illeless a seaman managed to scramble on board the s chooner, and then the latter left the sloop to her fate. uo - master, wife, and the mate, with but few clothes upon them, then took to their boat, in which they were tK4triy swamped. For some hours they were tossed about at the mercy of the waves, suffering extremely from cold and exposure; but ultimately they had the good fortune to be picked up by the schooner Susannah, of Yarmouth, which landed ihen. here. Two P.M. There has been another furious storm of wind an d rain this morning, but it was of brief duration, and the gale seems now to have finally subsided. TWO WRECKS OFF NEw HA " N On Friday, Saturday, and 6 last New tstoo of haven was vi,irefi by a tremendo us storm yid wind from the W.S.W., and b ugh LeWBB, rain nrn i ts sheltered situation , escaped anymaterial danNige, there was great fear for the that are constantly off the Sussex coast. The event at f u lly justi fied these apprehensions. On Friday when the gale was almost at its afternoon, Alba French brig, called the Jenne Albert, 191 tons, Maynar master, of Bour deaux, laden with zinc ore from Requejada in the north of Spain, bound to Antwerp, was seen rapidly a pproaching the shore i n an unmanagea ble state, with her sails torn to ribbons. She s t ruc k about 'half-past 12, on the beach nea r the Buckle Inn. Assistance was rendered by the coast-guard men, who were soon on the spot with Manby's apparatus. A line was got from the shore to the ship by means • of a rocket, and the whole of the crew--five men— got safely out ; a pig, which was on board as a sort of a pet, jumped overboard and swam whore. It is a terribly poor-looking animal, quite = shadow as compared with an English pig, and o this was probably owing its activity. The gip went to pieces in three hours, and the sea for a long distance was tinged with the red colour of the ore. On the same day a billyboy, 65 tons register, and laden with 110 tons of Portland stone, of Goole, from Portland to London, foundered at sea, and had it not been for the assistance of a fishing smack, the lives of the crew and the master's wife and six children would in all probability have been sacrificed. The master, S. K. Green, hates that he left Portland on Thursday about 3 o'clock, and early on Friday morning experienced heavy weather, in consequence of which the craft sprung a leak. The other two men and himself worked incessantly at the pumps, but the water continued to gain on them, notwithstanding their strenuous exertions to keep her afloat. In the afternoon she was observed by the crew of the Wave fishing ' smack, of Bolchester, Dorman master, about five miles to the westward, and nine miles south-east of Newhaven. Perceiving that she was disabled, the Wave ran up to her, and the master begged the crew to assist them. It was impossible for the smack to get near, and the sea ran so fearfully high as to make it very dangerous to venture out in their small boat. Notwithstanding this, Dorman, the master of the smack, leaving two men on board, launched his boat, quite a cockle shell, comparatively speaking, and with three other brave men went to their assistance. The boat was nearly swamped several times, but at last they managed to get on board the billyboy. Here a truly heartrend ing scene awaited them. The bulwarks were all gone, the boat was stove in, and the sea was making a clear sweep over them. The three men were utterly exhausted, and the state of the poor woman and her six children who were below may be more easily imagined than described. They were sitting huddled together in nearly three feet of water, which was also pouring in from the deck. The youngest child is only six months old, and the cries of the poor creatures were so piteous as almost to unnerve the strongest man. The difficult task of taking Mrs. Green and the children on board the smack was successfully carried out, although the boat was half-full of water, Dorman and his three men worked at the pumps for nearly three quarters of an hour without any perceptible diminution of waters in the hold. It was, there fore, determined to abandon her, which was accord ingly done, and every one got safely aboard the smack. In less than five minutes the billyboy sank with everything belonging to the poor creatures except the scanty clothes they stood in. This was about five miles off Beachy Head, and Dorman de termined to beat up to Newhaven; after much buf feting by the wind and waves they reached New haven harbour about nine o'clock, four hours and a half after the billyboy sank. On Sanday evening the approach of the Newhaven and Dieppe steam boat was anxiously looked for. She came in at high tide, safely passed the piers, notwithstanding the heavy sea, and was moored amid the cheers of those who ventured to see her come in. Such a severe storm has not been known for years. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. The severe gale continues at Liverpool and Holy head, and up to the present time there are the fol lowing additional disasters to report :—The Quasi Rosa is wrecked at Formby, and the crew are sup posed to be drowned ; too roagh to render assist ance. The City of Ottawa, from Calcutta, and the Carrier Dove, from New York, dragged foul of eaeh other while at anchor in the Sloyne. The Carrier Dove lost her anchor, and is severely damaged. This morning the Reliance, ship, ran into the Wil liam Henry, from Boston to Liverpool. The latter ship was abandoned in a sinking condition. The Locadia, from Baltimore, had a pilot put on board from No. 6 boat on Sunday, and has not been heard of since. SHIELDS, TUESDAY NOON. The gale, which blew heavily from the N.W. last night, moderated this morning ; and though we have a strong wind, the day is clear and bright. No more mischief has been done on the Tyne. The clubs, however, have intelligence this morn ing that half-a-dozen north country colliers, which left the Tyne in the middle of last week, are ashore in the neighbourhood of Yarmouth Roads. There is no intelligence of the vessels which left the Tyne on Saturday, and seafaring people are very anxious with regard to them. The ship Clarendon, which broke her line off Souter Point, and drove out to sea, in the middle of the gale, has not cast up yet. An other large ship, which sailed from Hull to Shields on Sunday night, there is reason to believe without ballast, and would 'go out of the Humber into the heart of the gale, is causing great anxiety to her owners and underwriters. Three seamen were drowned in the Tyne on Sunday night. A lad named Fraser, a man from on board the Huntley, and a sailor named Carter, who fell into Shields Harbour. DUBLIN, MONDAY NIGHT. The gale already reported continued to rage throughout S unday night, and the greater part of this day, with almost unabated violence. No casualties of any note ozcurred on the coast, as the wind blew from the westward. The mail steamer Munster was literally blown over to Holyhead, but on her return passage this morning experienced the full brunt of the wind and waves, the latter breaking over her hurricane deck, bridge, and funnels. She was de tained at Holyhead till four a.m., the down mail train being delayed owing to the obstructive power of the wind and the blowing out of various distance signal lamps on the line. The Munster did not, con sequently, arrive at Kingstown till nine a.m., hav ing made a splendid passage of four hours and a half. She has to night been replaced on the passage by the Ulster. A boat which had been employed to convey an officer on board one of the gun boats in Kingstown Harbour filled with water, the men just reaching the vessel in time to save their lives. The mail steamer Leinster experienced a very rough passage this evening, arriving at 7.15 p.m. She reports no wrecks on the Welsh coast as far as known at the time of her departure from Holyhead. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Regzstrar-General's Weekly Return.) It appears from the weekly returns issued by the Registrar• General that the deaths registered in London in the week that ended last Saturday were 1,181. The average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week in the ten years 1852- 61 is found, with a correction for increase of popu lation, to be 1,159. The rate of mortality in last week exceeded the average, but the excess is not considerable. There were twelve deaths in the week from small pox, and 61 from measles. Nine of these 61 oc curred in Bethnal-green. Scarlatina was fatal in 75 cases, 4 of which were in Somers-town, 5 in Kennington. Sixty-three deaths from typhus were recorded, 5 of these in Hoxton New Town, 5 in Limehonse, and 6 in the district of Poplar. Five deaths of infants are referred in the tables to the head " murder or manslaughter." A girl, aged 1 year, died of " impetigo (4 months), want of proper cleanliness." A charwoman died at 6, Everard-street (St. George-in-the-East), of " typhus (6 days);" and it is stated that there are other cases of typhus in the same house, and that the apartments in which the death occurred was in " a wretched and squalid condition." Five persons, who Were 91 years of age and up wards died in the week. A market s oman died on the 11th of October in St. Giles Workhouse, whose age is stated to have been 104 years. It is added that "she retained her faculties to the last." Last week the births of 944 boys and 919 girls, in all 1,863 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding the average number weeks of the yea rs 1852.61 (corrected) was 1,811. At the Royal O bservatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.608 in. The barometrical readings rose to 29.93 in. on Thursday, and fell to 29.30 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 53.9 degs., which is 4 degs. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was above the average on every day till Saturday ; and on Tuesday and Wednesday it was respectively 9.9 degs. and 8.4 degs. above the average. The highest day tempera ture was 71.4 deg. on Wednesday ; the lowest night temperature was 40.3 degs. on Saturday. The range of the thermometer in the week was therefore 30.1 deg. The mean daily range was 13.8 degs. The dif ference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 3.7 degs. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 89, complete saturation being represented by 100, which point was almost attained on Sunday and Saturday. The rain-fall was 1.61 in., nearly an inch having fallen on Sa turday. METROPOLITAN WATERS IN SEPT., 1862. The waters used in the metropolis for domestic purposes, according to the analysis of 1)r. Robt. D. Thomson, F.R.S., approach the composition which they exhibited last month. Some of the Thames waters contain rather more organic matter than in the previous month. For the sake of comparison the constitution of a well at Brighton is given, contain ing a large amount of organic impurity. In the Kent Company's water the small amount of organic matter was oxidised, and therefore innocuous. Total impurity Organicim per gallon. purity. gre. or deg. grs. or deg.

CITY COUR7 OP SEWERS. The weekly meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers was held yesterday in the Sewers Court room, at Guildhall ; Mr. de Jersey presiding. For some time past the City authorities have been appealed to to take some steps to render it less difficult for foot passengers to cross the streets in the City, where the traffic is so great as to render crossing the roads a matter of great difficulty and even danger. Yesterday Mr. Deputy Lott brought the matter before the court, and moved, " That it be referred to the General Purposes Committee to consider the practicability of constructing iron bridges over certain portions of the streets, whereby foot passengers cross them without danger, delay, or difficulty." Mr. Deputy ELLIOTT seconded the motion, which was supported by Mr. Deputy Harrison and Mr. J. Young. Dr. ABRAHAM, however, opposed the motion, and thought there were so many difficulties in the way as to render the undertaking impracticable. The motion, however, was agreed to. Dr. LETHEBY, the medical officer, reported on the state of 172 houses which had been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of 67 places for sanitary improvement. He likewise submitted a list of places requiring further proceedings, on ac count of orders already issued not having been com plied with. He reported that the markets and slaughter-houses had been duly inspected during the week, and that the officers had seized 3,924 lbs. of meat and 7,017 head of game as unfit for human food. It consisted of 14 sheep, 4 pigs, 10 quarters of beef, and numerous joints. About one-third was diseased, and the rest was putrid. 53 deaths and 64 births have been registered dur ing the week. The number of deaths is a little above the average (50) for the corresponding period of the last seven years. 20 of the deaths were among children of less than five years of age, and 13 among old persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of death were diseases of a chronic character ; but there were 7 deaths from phthisis, 7 from mesenteric dis ease, 2, from pneumonia, 4 from bronchitis, 3 from continued fever, and 3 from scarlet fever, making 14 deaths from tubercular diseases, 6 from infiamma tory affections of the lungs, and 6 from diseases of the zymotic class. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA. The following is the report of the director, to be presented to the proprietors at the half-yearly general meeting on Friday next : "The board of directors have the pleasure of sub mitting to the proprietors herewith the various statements of acconnts for the half-year ending 30th of June last, duly signed by the auditors. The gross earnings of the half-year in respect of the 4371, miles open amount to £239,687 13s. ld., or £547 los. 1 old. per mile. Of this sum, however, only £167,145 lls. 9d. is brought into the revenue statement, the difference, £72,542 l s . 4d., having been first deducted from the re ceipts, in accordance with previous practice, to meet the cost of passing the traffic across the gaps in the railway system at the Bhore and Thull Ghats, and at the Goolbun Ravine. The work ing expenses, as shown in the revenue statement, amounted to £103,714 13s. 3d. or 62.10 per cent. of the above-mentioned sum of £167,145 lls. 9d., leaving £63,430 11s_ 6d. as net profit, to be carried to the credit of the company's interest ac count with the Government. It affords the directors much satisfaction to bring to the notice of the pro prietors the steady increase of the traffic and receipts. Throughout the half year the railway open for traffic and the whole of the rolling stock and machinery in use, are reported to have been thoroughly upheld at the expense of revenue. The cost of maintenance of the line and works was equal to Bd. per train mile. The proprietors will be gratified to find from the engineer's report that very satisfactory progress is being made with the remaining portions of the line under construction. The works in substitution for the Goolbun viaduct have been completed, and the through railway communication to the foot of the Thull Ghat thereby restored. An additional length of 58 miles from Chalesgaum to Julgaum, on the north-east line, having been finished, was to be in spected by the government consulting engineer on the 15th September ult., previously to opening it for public traffic; and on the Bhore Ghat incline the Vi orks are in so forward a state as to lead to the expectation that that section will certainly be completed and opened for traffic by the end of March next. It will be also observed that iu the course of the ensuing season the north-east line will be com pleted as far as Sheagaum, a village 62 miles long. Contract No. 13, well situated for a temporary ter minus, being in the centre of the cotton districts and cultivated plains of West Berar. The directors have the raelancholy duty of announcing to the proprietors the death, on the 25th August last, of Mr. James J. Berkeley, M.1.C.E., the company's chief resident engAieer in India. Mr. Berkeley, from the commencement of operations in January, 1850, down to the beginning of last year, when his failing health compelled his return to England, conducted the whole of the engineering operations with remarkable devotion, energy, and engineer ing skill, to the entire satisfaction of the directors. In order to record more perma nently their sense of the valuable services which Mr. Berkeley rendered to the company, the board have directed a tablet to be erected to his memory in some favourable conspicuous position at the Bhore Ghat Incline. Mr. R. W. Graham, the second engineer, has been appointed chief resident engi neer. Consequent upon the amount of capital having been raised to £11,000,000, as mentioned in the last half-yearly report, the directors recom mend that the secretary's salary be increased from £9OO to £l,OOO per annum; to meet which, and other necessary expenses, the sanction of the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for India in Council has been given to an addition to the home establishment charges." DUTCH-RHENISH. The receipts for the fortnight ending Sept. 30, 1862, amounted to 1:10,236 7s. 61d., and for the cor responding period of last year to £9,564 lls. Bd., showing an increase of £671 15s. 101 d. in favour of the present year. The receipts since the com mencement of the present book year, on the Ist May, including the above, amounted to £99,816 12s. 81d., showing an increase, as compared with the corresponding period of last year, of £6,341 17s. 101 d. The working expenses for the fortnight amounted to £3,552 19s. Bd., or 31,70 per cent. of the receipts, and for the corresponding period of last year to £3,141 ls. 2d., or 32.84 per cent., showing an increase of expenses amounting to £4ll 18s. 6d. against the present year. The work ing expenses from May 1, 1862, to Sept. 30, 1862, amounted to £35,319 16s. 4d,, or 35.38 per cent, of the receipts. The working expenses for the year 1861-62 were 38.45 per cent. of the receipts. IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 21. The Mansion-house Committee for the Relief of Distress in Ireland have published their report. It is written in a spirit of candour and moderation, and contains some valuable suggestions and sta tistics. The total amount collected since the com mittee commenced their operations last autumn is 15,179 16s. 9d. No doubt, had the case which they made out been fully credited by the Christian public, the funds would have been ten times that amount at least. But they remark that, " unfortunately a portion of the public press asserted that there was no distress which required more assistance than could be met by the Poor Law, aided by local efforts. This view was also taken in Parliamentary and other public discussions, by the Chief Secretary for Ireland, and other members of the Government, and in consequence many were led to believe, and others probably led to affect, that the cry of distress was in a great measure artificial and chiefly sec tarian ; and the further consequence was that, with few exceptions, the contributions received by the committee have come not only from one section of the community, but from a very limited portion of the wealthy of that section, as will be perceived by a glance at the subscription list herewith pub lished." In several districts neither landlords nor occupiers subscribed, the funds being altogether given by parties unconnected with them, " among whom the Society of Friends should be mentioned, whose liberal and judicious benevolence on this and on other occasions, in money and in food, is above all praise." With regard to the foregoing statement, it is to be observed that the whole Roman Catholic press of Ireland loudly proclaimed that the distress was extreme, and earnestly pleaded for relief. The Roman Catholic clergy in all the s u ff er i ng di s t r i c t s vouched for the reality and the severity of the visita tion, and appealed in the most importunate and pathetic terms for help. Yet in the face of all this testimony, endorsed by this highly respectable and influential committee—which includes the Lord Mayor and Archbishop Cullen—they admit that the contributions came only from a very limited por tion of the wealthy of one section of the commu nity, that section being the Roman Catholics. The conclusion from these premises is inevitable, viz., the R man Catholics themselves, with the excep tion of a very limited portion of the wealthy, did not believe in the reality of the distress. If they did they would unquestionably, as a charitable people, have commiserated their suffering fellow Catholics and contributed to their relief. But if they were incredulous and deaf to the most piteous appeals, Protestants may be excused for doubting, and the portion of the press which gave expression to their doubts cannot have fallen into very serious error. If anything more were wanted to justify the course which the press adopted in reference to this matter it would be found in the statistics which the com mittee themselves have collected. The current year's poundage rates on 172 electoral divisions in the distressed districts present the following re sults :—The lowest rate is 2d. in the pound, the highest is 12d. In only 29 divisions did the rate rise to the last figure. The committee significantly add " that the necessity for assistance was as pres singly put from the lowest rated districts as from the highest of the other 420 divisions in which the current rate ranged from ls. to 4s. 7d." Again, the annual average expenditure during the last three years of 27 Connaught unions which received funds from the committee was £41,760, which was an average poundage of 9d. on £1,268,158, the valuation of those unions. In each of 20 it ranged from 6d. to ls. ; in seven only it exceeded ls. The population of these unions is about 850,000, and the proportion receiving relief is 1 in 191 of that population. In England it is 1 in 24 ; ; even in Leinster it is about 1 in 86. " Yet, though the rates were much higher there than in most Connaught unions, no appliance for assistance came from that province, with the exception of one from the Parsonstown union, and some from the charitable society of St. Vincent de Paul, in the North and South Dublin unions." In those Con naught unions, so lightly rated, from which such loud cries of distress came for months, " the num ber in the workhouses was very small, and none, or only few, on outdoor relief." The committee, therefore, in order to avoid their own stultification, in collecting and administering charitable funds where there was really no need, are driven to the necessity of virtually charging the Connaught Boards of Guardians, the landed pro prietors, and the ratepayers with inhumanity in re fusing to relieve the distress of their poor, who were obliged to cry for bread to strangers in the other provinces of Ireland, in Great Britain, on th e Con tinent, and in America. The committ ee censure the Poor Law Commissianers for not compelling the Connaught Boards to administer the Poor Law relief more mercifully, and they recommend that the Legislature should interpose to give them greater coercive powers for that purpose. But the public, I think, duly considering these facts and statistics, will come to the conclusion that the im plied charge of inhumanity is a libel on the Con naught Boards—which, be it remembered, are for the most part composed of Roman Catholics, magi strates, and elected guardians, who are not a whit more likely to act with cruelty towards their poor than the same class in any other part of the coun try. It is particularly unfair to cast such an impu tation on the Connaught gentry and ratepayers, when not a single instance is adduced by the com mittee of death from starvation within their unions —not a single case of destitution in which relief was refused. Dr. R - idcliff, Judge of the Consistorial Court and Vicar-General of the provinces of Armagh and Dublin. died on Saturday. Lord Stanley was present at the last petty ses sions held in the town of Tipperary, when he saw the following specimen of the "Tipperary boys :" John Mara, en old offender, was charged on his own admission, with burning, on the lands of Kilfeacle, a rick of hay, the property of Richard Dalton of Tipperary, and also two houses the property of P. Gleeson, of Kilfeacle. Constable T. Regan proved that Al.tra came to his barrack the night previous and showed him houses on fire, and in another direc tion, about three-quarters of a mile distant, he also showed him a rick of hay on fire, and after being cautioned admitted to his having burnt the hay and houses, and pointed out to the constable where he threw away the matches. When asked had he anything to say, he said that it was he who burnt them, and that he would, "only his feet failed him, burn every house from Kilfeacle to Cashel." When asked where he was from, he said from Tipperary, and that he was only two days out of Clonmel Gaol, where he had been confined. The total property destroyed is about 15 tons of hay, a forge, and an outhouse. The case was returned for trial to the next assizes of Clonmel. This is the second in stance in the neighbourhood of Tipperary of wantonly setting fire to farm buildings, thereby causing great destruction of property.

THE EXPENDITURE OF TliE CONFE- DEIM7E STATES. (Prow Me Economist.) Nothing, even in recent American history, is more remarkable than the almost complete igno rance in this country with respect to the financial position of the Confederate States. We know they must have obtained much money, for such a war as they have maintained cannot be supported without much money. But exactly how great their re sources have been we cannot say, and whence the resources have been derived we are wholly ignorant. Sonic information has now, however, been received by the professed friends of the South in this coun try, which, if its completeness should be confirmed and its accuracy established, will go far to remove our singular want of knowledge. It is said that the total expenditure of the Con federate States up to the Ist of August last was as follows : War Department Navy Department Civil and Miscellaneoug 3,678,850 £76,705,060 If this account should be confirmed. and wo are assured that it is correct, the South may be con gratulated on having made a great war, not only very successfully, but very cheaply. We will not compare this small sum with the enormous figures of Mr. Chase; * but it is worth while to remember that Sir G. C. Lewis estimated the cost of the Crimean war to this country at £77,588,000 ; that the Crimean war could not be compared in magnitude to the tremendous struggle in which the Confede rate States are engaged; that such a war as theirs would have cost us much more than such a war as ours cost us ; that, nevertheless, £76,705,060 covers their whole expenditure, military as well as civil, while £77,588,000 was requisite for only the mili tary part of ours_ The mode in which this considerable though not excessive sum has been obtained is, we are informed, as follows : TAXES. Customs prior to the repeal of the tariff £335,393 War tax .. 2,372,759 £2,768,152 LOANS. Loan Act of Feb. 28, 1861 Aug. 19, 1861 .. 5,743,114 Call ' Cleposits Balance of loan from banks 2,459,312 -- 20,455,972 BY INCONVERTIBLE NOTES. Treasury Notes Act, March 9, 1861 £471,600 71 „ May, 16, 1861 4,047,857 „ Aug. 19, 1861 39,145,076 April 17, 1862 5,319,976 Small " notes 197,400 49,181,909 Miscellaneous £72,806,812 leaving a deficit on the Ist of August of nearly £4,000,000. As in the North so in the South, this great struggle has been carried on a little by taxes, some what by loans, and mostly by inconvertible cur rency. For the South no other course was possible. It is not possible to levy very heavy taxes in a poor country with a sparse population during a revolu tion which has suspended its main industry. It is not possible to raise regular loans in such a country to an enormous extent, for the floating capital that is requisite does not exist. It is not possible for an inchoate state like the South, of which the very existence was, at first, undecided, to borrow much abroad_ The only applicable resource is the currency ; by substituting its own paper for the coin in circulation a poor Government can at an emer gency obtain a great sum. The South were com pelled to adopt at once this last of financial expe dients. The North, from a reluctance to tax in the rulers, an apathy in the multitude, and an ignorant contempt of economical laws in both, adopted that extreme expedient without a necessity, and when many better resources were open to it. * Mr. Chase has just stated his expenditure for the three months ending the 30th of June at £38,800,000, or nearly £160,000,000 per annum. MR. MASON ON 7HE RP COGNITION OF THE SO U 7 H. The following letter from Mr. Mason has been published. It is in reply to a request from Mr. Boon, the secretary of the committee of the 3taly bridge meeting, for Mr. Mason's opinion as to the effect recognition would have in terminating the war, and also for any other information that might strengthen the arguments of the speaker in favour of recognition : " September 19, 1862. "Sir,—l have had the honour to receive your letter of the 27th inst., informing me of a projected meet ing to be held at Staly bridge, in Cheshire, of the ratepayers of the town, who are to have under con sideration the question of recognition of the Con federate States of America, and asking my opinion as to the effect that such recognition would have in bringing about a peace, and any other information I may deem pertinent to the subject. " As a citizen of those States I do not feel at liberty to refuse your request under the circum stances stated, when, perhaps, otherwise to offer my opinions might be deemed intrusive. " It is certainly a settled principle of international law that when a new nation or empire is brought into existence as a separate and independent Power other nations are at liberty, without giving cause of offence, to recognise it as such, and to receive it as an equal in the family of nations ; and to entitle it to such recognition it is only required that suffi cient evidence be exhibited of stability and perma nence in the new Government, coupled with the power to sustain itself in its new position. In the case of the Confederate States I think it may be confidently submitted that the facts which have transpired since their separation from the United States, both in the Cabinet and in the field, come fully up to such requisitions. It has existed as a perfectly organised Government, in full and unimpeded operation, for more than 18 months; and as to its ability to sustain itself, its career in arms, against vastly superior forces, may challenge the judgment of the world. The present population of the Confederate States comprises about 12,000,000 of people. "; I think I may confidently assume, as the public judgment of Europe, that the separation of these States from the late United States is final and for ever, and that in no possible contingency—even could the war be continued to their extermination —can they ever be restored to the repudiated Union. " Under such circumstances, how far it may be deemed incumbent by other Governments publicly to acknowledge the existing fact of such final sepa ration, and thus to recognise the new Power, is for those Governments to determine. Fortunately for us, our people have shown themselves not only self reliant, but worthy of that reliance. We have fought our battles unaided and alone, and, until recently, uncheered by the nations looking on. For the future we have no fears, nor would the recog nition to which you refer be of any value to us, except so far as it might tend to bring the war to a close—a war to be waged henceforward hopelessly by our enemy, and at which humanity shudders. " In reply to your inquiry as to what effect re cognition of our independence would have towards putting an end to the war, I have only to say it would at once and for ever dispel all delusion on the subject in the United States. So long as it is with held by Europe it is taken ac an admission in Ame rica that in European judgment there may yet be a restoration of the broken Union, and to that extent our adversaries may be encouraged to persevere. That I am warranted in speaking of this as a delu sion "may appeal to the verdict of every intelligent Englishman. " Again, you are aware that the war was com menced and has been prosecuted for the purpose of putting down an alleged rebellion. Our recogni tion by the European Powers would be the decree of enlightened, impartial, and able observers that a rebellion, if one ever existed, had been brought to an end, and there stood in place of it, as acknow ledged by them, a se parate, sov. , reign, and indepen dent State, the equal of any in the line of empire. " It is not in the experience of the world that a war so disastrous in its results to those now waging it against the Confederate States, when they were made to understand that it was no longer conducted against alleged rebels in arms, but against an ac knowledged equal political Power, could long be maintained. " Such are my views on the questions you have submitted—briefly, but I hope intelligently, given. " I have the honour to be, very respectfully, "Your obedient servant, " J. M. MASON. "To William Boon, Esq., 54, Devonshire street, Portland-place, London." IHE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON, CITATHA.Zif, AND DOVER RAIL WAY. The coroner's inquiry into the circumstances at tending the death of Wm. Reed, engine driver, who was killed by the accident which happened on the London, Chatham, and Dover line, near Teynham, on the 13th inst., was resumed yesterday by Mr. Hills, and a respectable jury, at the Fountain Inn, Sittingbourne. Mr. Keel (Freshfiald and Newman) appeared to watch the case for the company ; Col. Yolland re presented the Board of Trade ; and Mr. C. J. Fox appeared for Serg.-Major Halse, who had been in jured by the accident. There were also present— Sir C. Fox; Mr. Cobb, one of the directors of the company ; Mr. Mills, engineer ; Mr. Bishop, traffic superintendent ; and Mr. Martley, of the company's locomotive department. The jury having assembled, George Dennison said he had been guard of the down 8.0 express train on the evening of the 13th. He was due at Dover at 10.20. He should have passed Sittingborne about 9.30. He passed on the night in question at the right time. He arrived at Tong crossing at 9.34. He proceeded safely until he came to Tong crossing. He then felt a jerk in the break van. In another instant he was off the road altogether. The train remained alongside the down line, and the engine and tender across the road. The jerk was the only warning he had of the accident. The engine was new, and had been run ning about eight or ten days. She seemed to per form her work properly. The train consisted of two first and one second-class carriage and a break van. He had another guard with him, named John Webb. He had no time to apply the breaks. He perceived no particular jolting of the train on that night. The train had before run in the usual way. The engine driver who was killed was a very com petent man. He had generally been employed in driving express trains. Witness had never heard Reed make any particular remark about the engine. He (witness) had been in the company's service 17 months. He had perceived no difference in any thing connected with the train as regarded that particular part of the line. He could give no idea as to how the accident occurred.. He did not no tice that any keys were out at the point where the accident occurred. By Col. Yolland—The train was running at about the rate of4o miles an hour. He left Chatham at 11 minutes past 9. He was eight minutes late in leaving Victoria station. He was four minutee late at Strood. After getting out the van he found the time 9.36. By the Coroner—The train had not been accele rated at that place where the accident happened. Steam was generallyshut off at the part in question. By a Juryman—He did not know what had caused the jerk. He observed a bulge in the line at the place where he supposed the train went off the line. He saw the bulge after the accident. It was on the right hand going to Dover. He had not seen any chair broken on which the rail rested. John Webb said he had been under-guard of the train, and he corroborated the evidence of the pre ceding witness. He thought the speed was 40 miles an hour, and he did not think the accident had been caused by the speed. A Juryman said he had heard that the train had been going at a quicker rate. The Coroner objected to this method of conduct ing the inquiry. The persons who made these statements ought to have come and given evidence in the ordinary way. If flying rumours were ad mitted prejudice would be created. A Juryman said he had heerd that complaints had been made by passengers that the train had not been quick enough. T. Mapleson Green, superintendent of the Kent County Constabulary, said he had been at the loca lity of the accident on the 13th, at a quarter-past 10. Shortly after the accident he examined the line, and found that the key and the cushion of one of the chairs were out. He did not perceive any bulge in the line at the point where he believed some portion of the train had gone off. He thought the tender had gone off first. The next chair to the one he had mentioned had a little bit chipped off the top. He found the fish plate all perfect, and the nuts square and tight. The next chair after passing the fish joint showed a mark over which a wheel had evidently passed. The two next chairs were more marked, and near the end of that same rail there was a small bulge. By Col. Yolland—He could not say whether any of the chairs on that length of the line were broken or not. He examined the line for 30 yards back, and found nothicg wrong. He could not say whether the accident had taken place on one length of rail or two. Some part of the train must have jumped over the metal at the place where he found the key out of the chair. That was his opinion. Ralph Stoddart said he had been stoker of the train to which the accident happened. Deceased was engine driver. He had worked with Reed about four months. He (Reed) was a very competent engine driver. The engine of the train had been working nine days, and it had been made by Sharpe and Stewart. It was a good engine. Engines work better when they have been used some time. She ran true, level, and easy. She did not roll. The de ceased was quite satisfied with the engine. He had never said at the Chatham station that Reed had said he liked the engine very well, only she jumped so. He believed they were four or five minutes late on leaving Victoria. The train had travelled at the usual rate of speed. It had not run to make up time. On coming to Sittingbourne and Sheerness Junction steam had been shut off. After passing the steam was put on as usual. Just as they came to Tong cross ing, and he was about to open tee furnace door, the engine left the rails. She went on a little, then took " the six foot," and after getting on the up-rails she capsized. He could not tell why the engine had left the line. He had not felt any jerk or jar before the engine went off the line. He believed the engine had first gone off. By Col. Yolland—He did not know that in point of quality there was any difference between the line between Sittingbourne and Tong and the other parts. He did not know that Reed had made any report on that particular part of the line to the loco motive superintendent. When the train got off the line he thought the speed was about 35 miles an hour. He liked the engine better than Crampton's, because it was more steady. Mr. Mills, the engineer of the line, said he had been at the scene of the accident at half-past 12 at night. He could not say from his own observation what had been the cause of the carriages leaving the line. The down line on which the accident occurred was as well laid as the up-line. Indeed the down-line at the part in question was better than the up-line. He travelled over the line in question twice on the evening before the accident, and the line seemed to be in perfect order. The weight of the engine might be about 28 tons. The line at Tong had been fish-jointed and properly re paired four months ago. They had different classes of engines. They had Sharp and Stewart's, and Crampton's patent, and others. He liked Sharp and Stewart's best. If the engine-drivers saw any thing requiring attention they would report to their inspectors, and they would report to him. In con sequence of a report he received he had given orders to straighten the line where the accident happened. The repairs had been completed before the accident. By Col. Yolland—He saw that a key had been out of one of the chairs. The chairs about the part where the carriages went off the line were all nearly new. He got to the place of the accident at half past 12. He considered that the engine had burst the rails—he meant the second rail. (The witness explained his meaning by referring to two rails, which had been laid on the table.) The bulge of the first rail had probably been caused by the lurch ing of the engine. After the accident he had exa mined the chairs to Sittingbourne, and found them all sound and properly fixed. William Martley, the locomotive superintendent, was then called, but he could not state what had been the cause of the accident. He knew the engine drivers did not like Crampton's engines. Absalom Perth, inspector of the permanent way from Strood to Faversham, said the greater portion of his part of the line had been properly fish-jointed during the last six months. On the 10th, Mr. Mills directed him to get the line straightened be tween Teynham and Tong, which included the part was f i t a h excel lent where the accident occurred. He empl o y e d 15 mea to straighten the line, and the work h a d been corn. ple t com pleted beforeorder- H ethe could accident. not in r inThe any line idea attend an d a of the accident.

He would not what had been th e actual cause say he would say what hi s o of the accident, but p evi dence he bad he ar d . He thought the evidenc e h a d ion was from the been truthfully g i ven. He believed that both the first and second rails _spoken of by Mr. Mill s h a d been forced out by a heavy lurch of the engine, and probably the carriages got off after they passed the spot. He did not think that one key out would have caused the accident. The Coroner having summed up, the jury, after deliberating about an hour, returned the following verdict :—" We find that the deceased William Reed came to his death by accident, and we believe that the engine left the rails in consequence of the de fective state of the road, which we consider mainly attributable to the use of the engines known as Crampton's patent." The Coroner said that was equivalent to a ver dict of accidental death., He would take that opportunity of stating that no sort of imputation rested on the deceased William Reed. His charac ter had been beyond reproach, and he had been the best driver in the company's employ. Mr. Martley said he might state the company were making arrangements respecting their engines which would most conduce to the safety of the public. 7HE ALLEGED DEATH FROM VIOLENCE A 7 SH 0 REDI7 CH. Yesterday afternoon Mr. H. R. Walthew, the deputy-coroner for East Middlesex, resumed the adjourned inquiry at the Suffolk Arms Tavern, Boston•street, Hackney-road, Shoreditch, touching the death of Mary Ann Jones, aged 22, tha wife of a hawker residing at 65, Boston-street, who, it was alleged, had died from violence. At the former inquiry it was stated that the de ceased and her husband were heard quarrelling by the neighbours at a late hour on Tuesday night, the 7th inst., when screams of Police—Murder ! issued from the house. The deceased was immediately afterwards seen outside the door in front of the house. The husband, it was said, struck her a vio lent blow with his clenched fist several times, when she exclaimed " Oh, don't kill me." He repeated the blows, when she said " Don't strike my head — you are murdering me." He then went inside the house and closed the door. Deceased walked up to the front door, and called to a girl who acted as their servant " Mary give me the baby ; I will make away with myself, and trouble him no more." The quarrel lasted a considerable time, and on the fol lowing morning deceased's eye was much swollen and blackened. The deceased was taken ill on the 9th and died on the 11th. Mr. Pitt, surgeon, of Hackney-road, said that he had made a post-mortem examination of the body, and the immediate cause of death was inflammation of the brain, and the cavity of the chest was gorged with fluid. The inflammation of the brain might have been the result of a blow, but there was no external violence. When he first saw the deceased she complained of sickness and had a contused eye. She said that she had struck her head against the mantleshelf. By the Deputy-Coroner—The deceased might have died from natural causes, and similar post mortem appearances would be presented. Other witnesses were examined,who gave evidence of a conflicting character. The husband of deceased was also examined, and denied having struck her, but admitted the quarrel. The jury returned a verdict of—Died from con gestion of the brain, accelerated by the ill-treatment of the husband. COUNTRY MARKE 26. .4. LEEDS-TUESDAY.
