Though the interest connected with the loss of - this ill-fated vessel has now somewhat abated, we yet think the following narrative will be accept able to our readers. It was compiled by Captain Aldham, of her Majesty's ship Valorous, who con veyed 42 of the survivors to New York from Fayal ; from the lips of the more intelligent among the passengers he obtained the various facts : The Austria left Hamburg on the Ist Sept. 1858, for New York, with a crew of 102 men, including officers, 460 passengers, and secondelass cabins all full. Of thi s number about 200 were women and children. On the 3d she anchored at Southampton, which place she left the next day. Westerly winds prevailed till about the 12th, when it cleared off and was fine. On the 13th, at noon, the latitude was 42 4 N., long. 45 1 W. ; weather very fine, light breeze ; passengers all well. At two p.m. of that day the captain, according to law, ordered the ship to be fumigated, which was done by putting a red hot iron into a bucket of tar, which was placed in the midship part of the lower deck, where most of the passengers lived and slept; their bedding and clothes at the time were lying about the deck. The fourth officer was attending to see the order car ried out. From some cause the tar caught fire and became in a blaze, when unfortunately the bucket was capsised, and, from the rolling of the ship, the contents soon spread over the deck, the flames com municating with the bedding as it lay about. From the great draught of air through the scuttles on that deck the fire spread with great rapidity to wards the main hatchways, filling the engine-room with smoke and flame, and suffocating the en gineers and stokers, who were prevented from working the engines or stopping them. From the main hatchway the flames soon caught the light and dry bulkheading of the officers' cabins ; from thence, like lightning, it spread aft towards the grand saloons and upon deck, setting fire to the mainmast, rigging,. and the two boats hanging on either side the rigging ; thus com pletely cutting off the fore from the after part of the ship, so that the officers, who were all in the fore part, could not get aft to render assistance or to give orders for the disposal of the boats. The engineer on deck, seeing the smoke at the first, telegraphed down to the engine-room to put the engines at half-speed, which, it is believed, was done ; but the ship continued to move on at the rate of four or five miles an hour for half or three quarters of an hour, when they ceased of themselves. The captain, who was sleeping at the time when the fire broke out, was awakened by the smoke and flame coming into his cabin, when he immediately rushed on deck, and was seen speaking or giving some orders, which were not understood or not carried out, and seeing the flames bursting out all over the midship part of the upper deck in all direc tions, became completely confused, and lost his pre sence of mind; for when the first officer asked him the question, " Can I do anything in Hamburg, should I escape ?" he made no answer, but exclaimed, " My God'. my God!" and rushed away, andwas not seen again; it is supposed he was one of the first to throw himself overboard. From the ship going ahead the flames spread aft and up the rigging with great fury. preventing any of the fire engine gear, buckets, or hose, or even an axe to be got at. The boats were also so secured that none of the passengers k new h ow t o lower them. The two foremost boats on either side, being before the fire, were lowered by the officers and crew ; one was safely placed in the water, the other was destroyed ; the two midship boats on either side were in flames, and the three after ones were so enveloped with smoke and heat that few dared to go near them. Some attempts were made to lower them, which did not succeed, and the great rush of persons towards them and in them caused them to turn over, and many were repeatedly thrown out of them into the sea by this means. The tackle of one boat was let go, and she hung up and down by the other, and was dragged through the water, turning over and over by the numbers trying to get into her ; many passengers clung to the boat as long as they could, but were swept away ; others dropping down by the tackle upon those hanging underneath, obliged them to let go ; others again trying the same method, shared the same fate. Ropes were hung over the side, and to these the passengers clung, and strove to slide down them to keep clear of the smoke and flame, the pressure became too great for those underneath, and becom ing exhausted by being dragged through the water, let go their hold, and sunk to rise no more. The greatest confusion ensued, especially in the afterpart of the ship, where the flames and smoke poured in " in intense volumes. Many ladies, and even gentle men, at the very first appearance of the flames on deck, jumped overboard, and of course were left far astern by the vessel's progression through the water. One gentleman threw all his children over board, then his wife, and afterwards followed him self. This was not the only case of a similar nature. Two beautiful girls, sisters, embraced each other on deck, and then hand in hand, leaped into the water, and were seen to rise together ; the hair of the youngest of them having become loose, fell over her face, when the elder sister, moving it aside with her hand, gave her a farewell kiss, and closely locked in each other's arms, they sank to rise no more. Another gentleman, holding on by a tape in the water with one hand, being towed by the ship, in the other holding up his only child, with his wife clinging round his neck till nature became exhausted, and the wife and child were swept away—he, poor man, still held on, unconscious, and yet was saved to be moan their loss, and t o bear the marks of the rope on his wrist to his life's end. The bowsprit and fore part of the ship were crowded, and numbers were hanging outside by ropes. One female, who had a rope round her waist, was very much burnt by the great heat of the ship's side, She could not free herself from the rope, or get any one to let it go, and she might have been roasted alive had not the rope burnt through and she fell into the water and was saved. His wounds are now nearly healed. From the flames inclining aft at the first, the doors of the grand saloon and companion ladders were soon in a blaze, and all those who were in the sa loon were abliged to be hauled on deck through the skylights. Between three and four p.m. a great rush was made to the stern of the ship in conse quence of the flames bursting through the skylights of the saloon. By this rush a great many who were already at the stern were overborne by the numbers who pressed on them, and fell into the water, and those who held on to the stern and after part of the ship were blown overboard by the explosion of the powder which was kept imderneath the wheelhouse. Not more than four or five persons were saved of those who had been in the after part of the ship. Those in the fore part had a better chance of their lives from the flames and smoke blowing . aft ; all the fore part, th e b owspr i t, an d f ore chains were crowded with people ; numbers hanging on to ropes outside were obliged to let go by the pressure of those above them, and many in the water who could swim were drowned by others who clung to them in their agonies. The sacrifice of life was frightful, all those who had jumped overboard at the first were left far astern by the ship's progress through the water, and met a watery grave ; most of those who were saved had managed to get a piece of plank, an oar, or something to bear themselves up. Fortunately, at the time the fire broke out there were three vessels in sight, two on one side and one on the other, but distant from eight to twelve miles. One only of the three made any attempt to steer for the ill-fated Austria ; she was a French barque, named the Maurice, Captain Renaud, from , Newfoundland, bound to the Isle de Bour bon. Unfortunately, this ship had to beat to windward, and could not get to the Austria till about 6.30 a.m., and while nearing her had to pick up several persons who were in the water, and who must have been from one and a half to two miles from the burning ship. As soon as the French barque had come as close to the Austria as she con veniently could, she lowered her two boats and sent them to the rescue. Great caution, however, was necessary to avoid the flames, and also to pre vent an overwhelming number striving to get into them, as this would only have created greater confusion, and probably have socrificed the lives of all. The boats, therefore, kept at a short distance, and took in those from the bowsprit who swam to them. These boats went backwards and forwards till nine p.m., when it became too dark to send them again. Several who still clung to the bowsprit and were afraid to jump into the water were left there. One boat only belonging to the Austria reached the French vessel, with about 10 persons. The whole number supposed to have been saved is 66 out of about 640 ; ten of these were part of the crew, three of wham were officers, the remainder passengers, including six females and three children. visions, and was not calculated to bold so great a number of persons. The above facts have been collected from several of the most respectable passengers, who were con veyed from Fayal to New York by her Majesty's ship Valorous. During the confusion and horrors of that day it was impossible for any one person to have seen all that occurred. The scenes that they witnessed are too heartrending to describe, and will never be effaced from their minds. One of the female survivors lost her four children, and one lady was seen in the water for a a long time holding up her child with both hands over her head, and even when her face was gradually disappearing below the water the poor child was still held up. The Valorous left Fayal, Sept. 28, with 42 of the survivors on board, including six females and three children. LAW INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL-WARE V. THE REGENT CANAL COMPANY. The hearing of counsel in this part-heard appeal case was resumed this morning. Mr. Roundell Palmer, Q.C., is now being heard for the respondents, the Regent Canal Company. It is probable that the hearing will occupy the whole of this day. (Before the Lords Justices.) IN THE MATTER OF THE ILMINSTER SCHOOL. This was an application to postpone the election of six new trustees to administer the trusts of this charity in obedience'to the :order of the court, until an appeal is pre sented to the House of Lords. _ _ Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner granted the application, on the understanding that the ap pellants would present their appeal to the House of Lords within ten days after the sitting of the first session of Par liament, and, in the event of the appellants altering their intention to do so, with liberty to apply to carry the order of court into effect. In the different Law Courts sitting at Westminster this morning the business was entirely confined to hearing ap plications for new trials, none of which possessed the leas public interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH STREET. FURIOUS DRIVING.—DAMAGING A COLONEL'S CAR RIAGE.—Henry Canard, cabdriver, badge 4,822, was charged before Mr. Bingham with being drunk and furiously driv ing a horse and cab, No. 285, in Charles-street, Berkeley square, and coming in collision with a horse and brougham belonging to Col. Charles Holder, and causing damage thereto. John Lucey, coachman to the colonel, said that he was in Charles-street about eleven on the previous night with the brougham, driving at the rate of six miles an hour, the colonel being inside, when the defendant came down the street at the rate of seven or eight miles an hour, and, not withstanding there was plenty of room for him to pass, ho came in collision with the carriage, knocking off the handle, and doing damage to the amount of about 18s. The defen dont was not driving at such a rate but that he might have stopped, but he did not do so, and seemed unable to pull up. Fowbert, 80 C, said on coming up and hearing of the affair he went after the cabman, but was unable to pursue. Some one else did for him, and he then took him into custody. He was drunk. Defendant at first said it was unavoidable, but afterwards admitted he had been taking a " little to drink," and that he could not say he was sober. The colonel said there was no excuse for his conduct, as he had lamps to his carriage. Mr. Bingham said he was sorry to say that this was not the first time the defendant had been brought before a magistrate, charged with being drunk when he had a cab entrusted to him. The fines imposed on him did not seem to improve his proceeding. He must now pay las., the amount of the damage, 40s. for driving in that condition, and if he did not pay the two sums he would be committed for a month. The other two vessels that were in sight never went near the burning ship, although the wind was fair for them to have done so. Neither their names or nation are known. The next morning, when the French vessel was steering towards the still burning wreck, a Nor wegian vessel was seen to send a boat to her, which pulled round her, but whether any more lives were saved or not could not be ascertained. It is hoped there were some, as the bowsprit was still in its place, but the other masts had fallen. About noon of this day the French vessel fell in with the English ship Lotus, bound to Halifax': when 12 persons were sent on board who wished to go to that port. The French vessel then steered for Fayal, arriving there on the 19th. It need hardly be said that Captain Renaud did all in his power to alleviate the distress of those he had rescued, but his clip was very short of pro- THAMES. SINGULAR CASE OF AFFILIATION.—WiIIiam Richard Hoskins, the landlord of the George the Fourth publi*- house, in Berners-street, Commercial-road East, appeared before Mr. Yardley, to show cause why he should not be compelled to pay the sum of 12s. 6d. claimed by a young woman named Maria Louisa Dawes. The complainant is a married woman living apart from her husband, and had for some time cohabited with the defendant, by whom she had two children. Quarrels took place and they separated. The second child, a boy, was affiliated upon him about 12 months ago, and Mr. Selfe made an order upon the defendant to pay 2s. 6d. per week for the main tenance of the child. The complainant has had much trouble in obtaining the money, and the defendant has always stoutly maintained that no child was born in Bethnal-green Workhouse on the 21st of November, 1856, as alleged by the complainant, and sworn by her when the order was made. The complainant stated there was now £1 15s. owing to her. Mr. Yardley—l can only order 13 weeks' arrears. The defendant said he did not believe the complainant had ever given birth to a child at the time mentioned. Mr. Yardley—l can't go into that now. My colleague has made an order, after hearing the whole case, and I must aist upon it. The complainant produced the child, and in answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, said—This is my child, and the defendant is the father of it. There was 14 weeks' money due last Friday. I have been put to great trouble and expense in this matter, and I have travelled from Chatham to London and back three times, paying 2s. 3d. each way by rail. There have been two summonses and one warrant. The defendant also threatened to tell my master with whom I am now living to discharge me. The defendant—She has sworn the child was born in Bethnal-green Workhouse. Here is a note from the master of the house stating that no such person gave birth to a child there. Mr. Yardley I shall not look at that letter, or take any notice of it. You might have appealed. I order you to pay £1 12s. 6d., being thirteen weeks' arrears, and 19s. 6d., in all £2 12s. or be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one calendar month.", The money was instantly paid. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. An inward supply of English wheat, 2,140 quarters, has come to hand, coastwise, during the present week ; but the receipts fresh up to-day were limited. The attendance of millers was small, and the demand ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the quotations. Upwards of 10,000 quarters of foreign wheat have been reported. In all kinds so little business was transacted that prices were almost nominal. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little attention. There was a fair show of barley. Good and fine samples sold steadily, at full currencies ; but other kinds were a dull inquiry. Malt was in fair supply and moderato request, on former terms. We were largely supplied with oats, in which an average business was doing, at late rates. Beans and peas moved off slowly, and the top price of town-made flour was 40s. per 2801bs.

NOTICES TO MARINERS. SHETLAND ISLES-WHALSEY GROUP. Revolving Light on Out-Skerries. The Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses have given notice that on the night of Dec. 1, 1858, the present tempo rary light on the island of Gruna, Out-Skemes will be dis continued, and on and after that date a revolving white light, attaining its greatest brilliancy once every minute, will be exhibited from the permanent light tower erected on the Bound Skerry. The light is placed at an elevation of about 145 feet above the level of high water and should be visible in clear weather from the deck of a ship at a distance of about 17 miles. The light apparatus is dioptric, or by lenses, and of the first order. The light tower is 80 feet high, and painted white, and the whole height of tower and lantern is 99 feet. The Bound Skerry is the most easterly rock of the Out-Skerries group, on the east side •f the Shetland islee. By command of their Lordships, JOHN WASHINGTON, Hydrographer.

With reference to Notices to Mariners, Nos. 40 and 66 of 1858, information has been received at the Admiralty that the light on Cape Bordo, the noth-west point of Kangaroo Island, off St. Vincent Gulf, South Australia, has been ex hibited since the 13th of July, 1858, and is designated the Flinders Light. The light, which revolves showing alternately red and white every half minute, is visible between N.E. by E I E. round by the north and west to S.W. by S. Th e white light may be seen in clear weather from a distance of 30 miles, but the red light not more than about half that dis tance, and when the red light is not distinguishable the white light will appear at intervals of one minute. The illuminating apparatus is catoptric, or by reflectors, and of the first order. The lighthouse is a square tower of stone, and stands about 500 yards from the edge of the cliff in lat. 35 deg. 45i• min. S., long. 136 deg. 34 min. East of Greenwich. Directions.--Vessels approaching Cape Bordo from the south-west should keep the light well open off the high land to the southward of the cape to avoid the reef off Cape Bedout, the western earemity of the island, and if bound up Investigator Strait, idler having rounded Cape Bordo, they should keep the light quite clear of the high land to the eastward of it on a S.W. by W. bearing until Cape Forbia is passed, when it may be shut in. In proceeding down Investigator Strait the light should not be brought to bear to the westward of S.W. by W. The bearings are magnetic. Variation 41 deg.

SUNDAY TRADING.—In consequence of proceed ings having recently been adopted by the local authorities of Bury, to put down Sunday trading, by inflicting penal ties upon oyster sellers and apple dealers, a counter move ment has sprung up, and a notice has been issued intimating that a committee of gentlemen has been formed to enforce the provisions of the Act of Parliament against all classes who may be found guilty of violating it ; and as it was be lieved that the act is openly and systematically violated by magistrates, manufacturers, and others, the committee offer a reward to any person who will come forward and give such evidence as will lead to the conviction of the persona so offending.—Manchcster Guardian.

SUICIDE ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.—One of the most deliberate acts of suicide which has ever happened on a line of railway was perpetrated on Wednesday morn ing on the Midland, about midway between Cheltenham and Gloucester, near the Chosen-bridge. It occurred d ur i n g the transit of the Parliamentary train between Bir mingham and Bristol, which leaves the former station at five minutes past 7 in the morning, and is due at Glocester at five past 10. The train had arrived within four miles of man standing i N n v g he h n y t t he he d h ri u v e e ; r an eb d, se a r s v t e h d e a tr t ai a n s a h p o p r ra t di c r h t ed anc hi o ni a nearer, he deliberately walked upon the down line of rails, and placing himself in a stooping position in front of the engine appeared to await with coolness certain and instan taneous death. No time was afforded to avert the calamity by a stoppage of the train, and the poor fellow was literally dashed to pieces, fragments of his body being strewed about the line, while considerable portions of flesh and of his wear ing apparel were found still adhering to the engine and car riages upon the train reaching Glocester. The deceased was very respectably attired. Measures were immediately_ taken to secure the remains, which were removed to the Tillage of Chosen, there to await a coroner's inquest. At present they have not been identified. ARTIFICIAL LIGHT.—The highly interesting lecture now in course of delivery at the Polytechnic Insti tution, by Mr. E. V. Gardner, the professor of chemistry attached to the establishment, bids fair to eclipse in woes' and popularity all its predecessors. The lecture abounds with much valuable information which is placed before the audienet in a form so lucid and entertaining that, for the hour devoted to its delivery, the talented lecturer completely rivets the attention of his auditory. His description of colour is highly interesting, and as for his axpenments, they rival in beauty and magnificence anything heretofoto produced at this celebrated institution. We have very fre quently been delighted with the lectures delivered at the Polytechnic, but beyond all question Mr. Gardner's new discourse upon artificial light is the best we ever heard. A NEW DISCOVERY IN PHOTOGRAPTIY.—The problem of the possibility of taking photographic pictures and portraits by artificial light has just been satisfactorily solved by a gentleman named Motile, residing at Hackney, who has discovered a light by the aid of which pictures can e ar e y v w er ay. looked be taken at night. Strange as this announcement may appear, it is neveirtheless true, as wo have had submitted to our in spection some of the most charming specimens of the a rt, taken by Mr. Moule's night in pr t o h c e es o s r , d l i ‘ n . upon .
