TILE LORD MAYOR'S DAY. TILE BANQUET. - - The customary banquet with which the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs inaugurate their annual term of office was held in the Guildhall, which was fitted up for the occasion with all the splendour that marks this time-honoured festival, The hall was brilliantly illuminated by chandeliers, aided by countless gas jets which traced in oufline the niches, windows, and other architectural details of the spacious apartment. Flags of all nations, banners, steel armour, and trophies of every de scription were gracefully grouped and festooned along the roof and walls. From the west window shone a resplendent cut glass star ; while the east .window was decorated with a gigantic Prince of Wales's feather of spun glass. The various ante-rooms were converted into reception rooms, and ornamented with sculptural, pictorial, and floral devices. The company began to arrive about 5 o'clock, and when the whole of the guests, who could not have numbered fewer than 1,000 ladies and gentlemen, had taken their places, the banquet hall presented one of the gayest and most animated spectacles. Mr. Alderman Carter, the new Lord Mayor, presided, supported on his right and left by members of the corps diplomatique, the judges, and her Majesty's Ministers, who all ap peared in their official costumes. Among the guests were—The Turkish Ambassador, the Lord High Chancellor and the Hon. Miss Campbell, the Duke of Newcastle, the Duke of Somerset, the Marquis of Ailesbury, the Marquis Camden, the Earl of Ripon, Viscount Sydney, Bishop of London, Mr. Justice ,Willes, Mr. Baron Channell, Mr. Justice Hill, Mr. • Justice Blackburn, the Queen's Ancient Sergeant, Baron Lionel da Rothschild,..Baron Salomon de Rothschild, Sir W. Dunbar, Bart., Sir F, Currie, Bart., and Lady, Mr. E.-I,Y. Crawford, M.P., the Hon. Geo. Byng, M.P., Mri-Robert Hanbury. M.P., Mr. George Grenfell G6 , lf, M.P., Mr. T. Norris, M.P. Mr. - W. Tit?, M.P., Mr. A, M. Rendell, Mr. B. W. Horne, Mr. B. Dobree, Governor of the Bank of England ; Mr. A. Latham, Dcputy-Gover nor of the Bank of England; Major-General F.

Leas , Dr. Van Oven, Mr. R. C. Bevan, Mr. B. Smith Bz..c The usual loyal toasts having been duly honoured, The LORD MAYOR gave " The Bishops and -Clergy of the Church of England," for which Th. Bishop of LONDON briefly responded. - The next toast was the "Army and Navy," which was drunk with much cordiality. The Duke of SOMERSET, in returning thanks for the Navy, said he believed there never was a time when a more general desire existed in the country to see that branch of the service powerful and effi cient, and capable of defending our shores, protect ing our widely diffused commerce, and maintaining .our colonial possessions in every part of the world. .Among none, he was sure, was that feeling more .earnestly entertained than among the citizens of London. (Cheers.) Many great naval heroes had passed away, whose names were embalmed in their country's memory ; but their spirit still lived and animated the service which their achievements had rendered illustrious. As in times past the Navy had always come forward nobly at its country's call, so he was confident it would act in future. (Cheers.) Mr. S. HERBERT responded on behalf of the Army. He said—l am hardly worthy to have my name associated with this toast, which belongs more properly to a soldier than to a civilian like myself to acknowledge. I regret that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who is so com petent to return thanks for the Army, which he so well commands, is not here to discharge the duty that you have imposed upon me. This ancient mu nicipality is the best representative in the world of the interests of commerce, and therefore of the in terests of peace. But I may be allowed to say that those pursuits ,have not enervated the citizens of London, because at the head of the great movement which Las lately been begun for the formation of volunteer corps throughout this country stand the names of the Lord Mayor and the citizens of Lon don. (Hear.) And permit me, while acknowledging this toast, to express my thanks to you, as the Minister charged. with the administration of the Army and of the defences ,of the country, for the spirit which you have displayed in this matter—a spirit which I doubt not that you, my Lord Mayor, will foster as your worthy predecessor has done. " Prosperity to the Trade and Commerce of the City of London" having been drunk, his Lordship next proposed "The Health' of the late Lord Mayor," passing a warm eulogium on him for the manner in which he discharged the duties of his office. [Mr. Alderman Wire was prevented by ill health from attending the banquet.] The LORD MAYOR then gave The Corps Diplo matique," coupling with the toast_ the name of his Excellency the Turkish Minister. M. MITSURUS expressed on his own behalf, and on that of his colleagues at our Court, his deep sense of the compliment paid to them, and also their gratification at the honour done them by the invi tation to that festival. The LOED MAYOR then proposed " The Health of the Lord Chancellor ;" for whi:th the noble and learned. lord briefly returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR next gave "The Health of her Majesty's Ministers," connecting with the toast the name of the Home Secretary. Sir G. C. LEWIS (who, as well as most of the other speakers, was very indistinctly heard from the incessant hubbub going on in the hall) was un derstood to speak nearly as follows :—My Lord Mayor, Ladies, and Gentlemen,—ln acknowledging the toast with which you have honoured her Ma jesty's Ministers, I may be permitted to express my regret that in consequence of the necessary absence ofmy noble friend at the head of the Government, who is now in attendance on her Majesty at Wind sor, and in consequence, also, of the unfortunate in disposition of my noble friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the duty of addressing you, in the presence of colleagues far more compe tent for the task, has devolved upon me in aceord ance with the rules of official precedence. My Lord Mayor, the portion of public affairs in which the inhabitants of this city are more im mediately interested is our domestic and inter nal concerns; and I may congratulate the citi zens of London that at perhaps no Kevious period in our history has our internal condition exhibited greater prosperity than at the present moment. (Cheers.) Whatever standard or test you apply to that prosperity, whether you look to the great increase in our revenue, the present state of our trade, or the diminution of pauperism throughout the kingdom, you will still find the most gratifying evidence of the sound and healthy condition of our domestic affairs. There have, no doubt, been slight ripples on the surface of the stream, which would otherwise have - been un touched. We have seen one unfortunate event in which the inhabitants of this metropolis have been especially interested—l mean the disturbance which has occurred in the building trade, but which I trust is now, approaching its termination. That has been an event of which her Majesty's Govern ment have been no unconcerned spectators, although in regard to it we have felt it our duty to maintain a policy of consistent non-intervention. (Hear, hear.) It has been our desire not to interfere in any question between employers and their work men, but to leave both parties to adjust their dif ferences according to the natural law of supply and demand. And I trust the time will never arrive when any scheme of intimidation will be attempted, or any endeavour made to introduce a system of protection for labour, which must prove not loss unsound in principle than the exploded doctrine of protection to a g ricultu re , which was recently ex punged from the legislation of this country w ith so much advantage t o all classes of the community. (Hear, hear.) It will not be expected that I should detain a company composed of many persons who are not politicians with lengthened remarks upon the measures which her Majesty's Government may contemplate in the existing state of the country.y I need only say that their time has not been wasted or their attention diverted from the discharge of . their public duti,!:3 ; ,,z t (s h .l a a t e it arly in the ensuing ses sion they will e b n e tel t: eci i in r t c o , ,o to cui redeem the pledge they formerly oasi deration of the Legislature a measure for t t l h ic e amend meat of the repres,: n tation of th e people. (Cheers ) There is, however, a branch •of our public affairs over which we have not so much control as over our domestic concerns—l mean our foreign relations. In regard to these we are more dependent on the conduct of othe.r States, and cannot always maintain that undisturbed tranquillity which I am happy to say has characterised our internal condition. We have seen our Minister who was sent to obtain the ratification of a treaty at Pekin treated with outrage. We have seen that our agents, acting literally upon their instructions as to ascending the river which led to that capital, were without notice fired upon by the Chinese, and that a disastrous loss of life en sued. (Hear, hear.) My Lord, it will be the purpose of her Majesty's Government, in unison with the I Emperor of the French, to take such measures as will enable us to secure from the Chinese Emperor the terms to which we are entitled by treaty, and which will at the same time maintain our national honour. (Cheers.) I need hardly call your atten tion to the events recently witnessed on the Conti nent which have led to a sanguinary campaign in Italy, and in respect to which her Majesty's Go vernment have abstainedfrom all interference. But the time may come when, treaties having been signed, ulterior measures may be contemplated by the great Powers of Europe, and when it is probable that invitations may be addressed to the Govern ments which were parties to the Treaty of Vienna to join in a continental Congress for the settlement of the affairs of Italy. Hitherto, however, I may say that no formal invitation to a Congreis relative to the affairs of Italy has been addressed to her Ma jesty's Government. But if at any future time such an invitation should be sent to them, it will be their duty to deliberate upon the matter with a view to maintain a principle which we regard as sacred — viz., that no force shall be used for the purpose of dictating to the Italian nation in the choice of their rulers—(cheers) —or of coercing them in respect to the Government which, after mature deliberation, they may prefer. The recent campaign in Italy has led to a general arming among the great Powers of Europe. The storm which raged in Italy created a disturbance in other countries which has not yet subsided ; and it becomes us, looking to the unsettled state of Europe, to be prepared with our national defences, and not to be dependent on the sufferance of any other power whatever, however friendly. (Cheers.) I rejoice to find that all the assurances which her Majesty's Government have received from foreign States arc of a perfectly friendly , and pacific character. Her Majesty's Government have no reason to believe that any nation in Europe, or in any other part of the world, entertains hostile intentions towards this country. Nevertheless, hav ing regard to the present aspect and condition of foreign States, it behoves us, as our greatest poet says, to " wear our eye not jealous, nor secure." We must remember—and it is a most satisfactory anl consolatory reflection—that, considering the wealth and resources of this country, if any real danger presented itself, we should always be enabled to confront it in an adequate and effective manner. (Cheers.) But I trust that nobody in this hall will think it is the wish of her Majesty's Government to countenance or encourage any light or groundless alarm. We are bound to guard against not merely a probable, but even a possible danger. Whenever probable danger does arise her Majesty's Govern ment will feel it their duty to take every necessary step for the protection of our shores ; and in doing so they feel confident that they can at all times rely on the spirit of a great, a generous, and a mighty people. (Cheers.) The LORD CHANCELLOR then gave " the Health of the Lord Mayor," which his Lordship duly ac knowledged, and then gave "the House of Lords." The Duke of NEWCASTLE, in returning thanks, said—l feel that it is as honourable to the House of Peers as it is agreeable to the individual members of that august assembly that they should hold the high position in the estimation of their countrymen which I am confident they occupy at this moment. The peculiar organisation of that body does not confine its members merely to those who derive their origin from a long ancestral line, but enables it to embrace many men who have sprung from the people, and who bring with them into the House of Peers the spirit of the people—men who have ar rived at rank and station by great deeds of arms, as well as others who, like my noble and learned friend (the Lord Chancellor), owe their distinction to their own industry and talent in the jurispru dence of the country, or in the diplomatic and other branches of the civil service of the State. (Cheers.) The people of England feel that the House of Lords do not occupy an isolated and sel fish position—that they ,will not, permanently at any rate, oppose themselves to the well-understood wishes and well-considered opinions of the nation; but, while they maintain their own earnest convic tions, they will always be found to accommodate themselves to the progress of events and to the ma tured judgment and deliberate reflection of their fellow-countrymen. (Cheers.) The people of Eng land also know that in their private station the Peers of the realm join with them in their pursuits, help them in the performance of their duty, parti cipate in their dangers, and strive in every respect to form one essential element in the great aggregate which constitutes the British empire. And as long as the British Peerage endeavours to walk in that path I feel persuaded it will ever receive in assem blages like the present tokens of respect and friendly feeling such as that just exhibited by the merchants and traders of the city of London. (Cheers.) The next toast was " The Judges of England," to which Lord Chief Justice ERLE responded. The LORD MAYOR then gave " The House of Commons," associating with it the name of Mr. Gladstone. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQUER—My Lord Mayor, my Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen,—You have done me, I fear, an unmerited honour in coup• ling my•name with the tribute of regard which you are pleased to pay to the House of Commons; but it is on every occasion an agreeable duty for any Englishman to find his name associated with a body occupying such a place in the history of your coun try and in the hearts of the people. And permit me, my lord, to say that I am well aware that if in all other assemblies of Englishmen, without excep tion, the House of Common's is the object of warm and affectionate regard, it is nowhere more so than in the heart of the city of London ; because on every great occasion, in every great crisis of the history of the country, when there has unfortunately been a conflict among its constitutional powers, it has been commonly found that the side taken, by the city of London has likewise been the side adopted by the House of Commons. (Cheers.) I feel, my lord, an undoubting confidence that the place which the House of Commons has earned by centuries of noble exertion in the estimation of England and the world is not likely to be forfeited or lost. It may be, and perhaps it is, that those who now fill its benches, at least many among them, are persons but little worthy to be the suc cessors of the great men who formerly adorned it, and of whom you have conspicuous specimens be fore you. But we do not in these days depend altogether upon the eminence of individuals. The state and progress of modern cisilisation have sup plied to the statesmen of our country aids such as they never before enjoyed from the action of a ma ture and enlightened public opinion. (Cheers.) The present House of Commons is as yet a young assembly, and has had but scanty opportunities of proving what it can do for the country. But it would not become me, at least, to think lightly of that House of Commons, whether in connection with the Administration to which I have the honour to belong, and which it brought into power, or whether in connection with the department over which I am unworthily called to preside, because I am bound to admit that, while I found myself under the necessity of undertaking the disagreeable duty of proposing no inconsiderable addition to the taxes of the country in the last session, the House of Commons answered to that call with a readiness which has never been surpassed, and in that readi ness, permit me to say, I do not believe it belied or exceeded the wishes and conviction of the people. (Cheers.) I trust and am confident that, when that house again assembles to resume the exercise of its important functions, it will not, whether in the business of finance or of legislation, disappoint your reasonable expectations. If the constitution of that house is to be changed, we may feel assured, from the temper which prevails throughout the country— from the general attachment of the people to the Crown and the institutions of England—that, what ever changes are adopted, will be conceived in the spirit of the constitution itself, and will have no other object than to maintain to us that stability of public life which, under Providence, we have so long enjoyed, and to make the House of Commons in a yet increased degree the organ of the reason able wishes and the guardian of the great interests of the nation. (Cheers.) As respects the finances of the country, I m certain that the House of Com mons, while giving no countenance to groundless alarms, while giving :credit to other Christian na tions for possessing those Christian sentiments which we claim for ourselves, will nevertheless re spect the mature and clear expectations of the coun try, and leave nothing undone that pertains to the security or honour• of England. (Cheers.) Allow me, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, to say that I trust, when the Ifouse cf Commons has fulfilled that great and paramount function, it will also recollect that, next to the security and honour of the coun try, it is its duty to adhere to those principles of good husbandry and thrift which have done so much for this nation during the times in which we live, and which have enabled successive Govern ments and Parliaments to amend the laws, to re duce the taxes, to relieve the burdens and increase the comforts of every class of Englishmen, and above all of the humbler and labouring classes. (Cheers.) I conclude by expressing alike the hope and expectation that, though statesmen and govern ments may rise and fall,-from these duties the House of Commons will never shrink, and that consequently it will never lose the place which I rejoice to find it at present holds in yOur esteem. (Cheers.) Several other complimentary toasts followed, and the company retired. The musical arrangements, which were excellent, were unsler the direction of Mr. William Fielding, assisted by a large corps of vocalists. The dinner was provided by Messrs. Staples, and fully supported the reputation of their establish ment. THE WRECK OF THE MAIL STEAM- ASILIT PARAMA2TA. Yesterday an official inquiry, instituted by direc tion of the Board of Trade, into the circumstances attending the loss of the Royal Mail Steam Navi gation Company's ship Paramatta, was held at the Greenwich Police-court, before Mr. Traill, police magistrate, and Captain Harris, nautical assessor. The ship, of an estimated value of nearly £200,000, was wrecked on the 30th of June last on the Ane gada Reef on her voyage from Southampton to St. Thomas's, that being her first and only voyage made. Mr. O'Dowd attended to conduct the inquiry on behalf of the Board of Trade, and Mr. Coxwell, of Southampton, on behalf of Captain Baynton. Captain Wilson, one of the directors of the com pany, sat on the bench during the day. Mr. O'Dowd having opened the case, Mr. Coxwell, previous to the witnesses being called, said he had to protest, on the part of Cap tain Baynton, under the 432 d and 433 d section of the Merchant Shipping Act, against the inquiry proceeding,—first on the ground that several officers of the ship were at present in the West Indies; and, secondly, that the inquiry ought to take place at Southampton. Mr. Traill said, he considered that the Board of Trade had used its discretion in ordering the in quiry to take place at that court, and it would pro ceed, but the protest could be received. Mr. O'Dowd remarked that this court had juris diction. The certificate of Captain Baynton was hero called for, and handed to Mr. Boustred, the chief clerk, upon which Mr. Traill said, as the conduct of Captain Bayn ton was not complained against, it would be de parting from the principle adopted in these in quiries to require him to hand in his certificate, but which could be called for, if necessary, at any other part of the proceedings. The certificate having been returned to Captain Baynton, • Mr. Traill continued, by stating that the usual course was to examine.the captain first, to receive his statement voluntarily, and to put him on oath afterwards, if required. Mr. Coxwell said, he generally objected to the captain being examined previous to other witnesses giving their evidence; but if his evidence were to be given he should prefer it to be taken on oath. Mr. Traill said, it would prejudice his (Captain Baynton's) position if he did not make his state ment. Mr. Coxwell said, the last inquiry which had taken place at that court (alluding to the loss of the Alma) had partaken of a prosecution ; but he would not further object to the captain being ex amined, as stated. Capt. Edward George Baynton was then placed under examination, and said—l hold a certificate of competency as Master from the Board of Trade, dated December, 1850. I was captain of the Para matta on her first voyage. She was the property of the Royal Steam Navigation Company. The crew consisted of about 220, officers and men. She had also on board about 60 passengers, and carried the West India and Pacific mails. She left South ampton on the 17th of June last, bound for St. Thomas's. It was fine weather. On the 24th of June, at 1 p.m., something struck the starboard paddlewheel. The engines were stopped to ascer tain the damage, when a float of the paddles was found to be broken off and one of the iron stays broken and twisted. On further examination we found the centre boss cracked nearly two thirds round. We secured the wheel in the best manner possible with chains, and went on. Tbis caused a delay of six hours. The following morning we stopped about half an hour to inspect the wheel, and, finding no further damage, we proceeded on our voyage. Nothing further occurred until noon of the 30th of June, when it was found by observa tion that the ship was 89 miles from the Island of Sombrero. The island bore 26.45 W. At 20 minutes past noon the course was altered by compass to S. 20 W. We continued in that course till 650 p.m., when the chief officer was on the lookout, and hailed from the masthead that he saw the island of Sombrero on the starboard bow. We kept the ship away in consequence and for the purpose of ascertaining the truth of the assertion, I desired the chief officer to let me know when the island was ahead. A few minutes afterwards he hailed from the masthead, and said that which he thought was the island was a vessel under sail. I then asked him how the ship's head was, and was told W. ;1 N. I ordered it to be kept W.S.W. During these six hours we were going at the rate of 12 knots an hour, the wind being E.S.E. At 725 the chief officer and myself took observations of the polestar, which gave latitude 18.40 N. At 8 p.m. the course was altered to S.W. by W.' At 820 we again took an observation of the polestar, which gave the latitude 18.38. The horizon was perfectly clear on the first observation, but not so clear on the second. IVe continued on this course until ten minutes past nine, when I directed the third officer of the watch to take another observation of the same star. This observation did not agree with the former, it giving 18 . 24 N., on which I desired the chief officer to take the observation with his sextant. He made the latitude 18.34, but remarked that it could not be depended upon, as the horizon was ,not so good. I then ordered the course to be altered to S.W., a little more to the southward. This was at 9.15. The paddle-wheel which had been damaged was working very well. After keeping her away to the S.W., the chief officer and myself remained on the forecastle looking out for the high land of Virgin Gorda, which we expected to make on the starboard bow. About 9.27 I observed a hazy ap pearance ahead,'which did not at all resemble the high land of Virgin Gorda ; I therefore told the chief officer I would go and look at the chart, and that he was not to leave the forecastle, but to keep a sharp look-out. Before I reached my cabin the ship struck. We then stopped the engines and I sent down to see if dhe was making any water. Finding she was not, we reversed the engines full speed. It was not a shock, but something like running up a sandy beach. No soundings were taken previous to her striking. It did not occur to me to heave the lead, as there was something con flicting about the latitude. She was on one of the Horseshoe Reefs, and remained there. By Captain Harris—The navigation allowed from noon, when lying off, was 5 degrees westerly, and the day before 7 degrees. By Mr. Traill—Had not the accident occurred to the paddle-wheel, we should have been at the place where the ship struck six hours earlier, and by daylight. The observations at 7.25 and 8.20 agreed with the dead reckoning, there being a difference of 10 miles between the observations made by the third and chief officers. By Captain Harris—The width of the channel between Sombrero and the Anegada Reef is 40 miles. Up to 6.50 we were steering to make Som brero a little on the port bow. At noon on the 29th of June we had good observations, and an equally good observation on the 30th at noon. I had observed her course had been slightly altered, but took it to arise from shortness of sail. There were 2 degrees difference between the course made and the course steered in 360 miles: I subse quently found my chronometers correct ; they gave the longitude within a mile. The compasses were adjusted previous to the ship leaving Southampton. There was a considerable difference between the standard and steering compasses. The steering compass was adjusted by magnet, the standard was not. The standard compass was about four feet before the mizenmast, and five feet high from the deck. I was supplied with a table of errors for the standard compass. I don't recollect the differetiees between the steering and standard compass when the ship was swung at Southampton. I computed the courses and bearings by the standard compass, and an officer took it by compass with the steering compasses. The quartermaster was directed Fre quently to compare the standard with the steering compasses. I steered throughout the voyage by the starboard binnacle compass, which compass had been adjusted at Southampton. Up to noon of the 30th of June, the courses steered were found to be perfectly correct by observation. On the evening of the 30th it was fine, clear, tropical weather. The Island of Sombrero is a long flat rock, abeht 40 feet high, and a mile and a half long, the soundings ex tending about two miles from the island. I have been 16 years in the service of the company, and have made a great many voyages—as many as 40 —to the West Indies, in 12 or 14 of which I have acted as captain. I am well acquainted with the passage between the Caribbean and the Virgin Islands. I have never met a strong current there, and have never been more than three miles out in making Sombrero. I was not aware that there were any currents there in the month of June, though later in the year they would be affected by the rains. The wind was R.S.E., very moderate, and I had therefore no reason to believe that a Strong current would be running from the N.W. The distance from Sombrero to St. Thomas is about 00 miles, and I .expected to have got there about 4 o'clock in the morning. The soundings from the Horseshoe Reef extend from 21 miles to the eastward, and go off from 33 fathoms to 145 fathoms, with no bottom. I ascertained after we were on shore that there was a very strong N.W. current, which con tinued several days, and it has occurred to me since that we crossed the magnetic meridian between noon and the time of getting on shore. I an only account for the ship being out of her course by the second current. On the afternoon of June 30, at 3.15, I got sight from my chronometers, and the longitude at that ti me carrie d us w i th i n a mile of the longitude of the observation taken at noon. I took no further observations. My latitude at 7.25 THO SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1859. p.m. of the 30th agreed precisely with my latitude by account. At 1 p.m. of the 30th the ship was taken aback, which would put her to the westward - two or three miles. The course from Sombrero to St. Thomas, supposing we were five miles to the westward of Sombrero, and in the same latitude, would be W.S.W. Having no apprehension as to being near the Ansgada, Reef, I did not consider it necessary to slacken the engines nor sound. I be lieved that we had passed the island. The Som brero Channel is the usual channel for the West India mail packets when bound for St. Thomas. The instructions of the company with reference to the nearing land is to be cautious, and in passing the Sombrero Channel to be particularly careful on account of the currents. I navigated the ship by an Admiralty chart of the earliest date. Captain Wilson, director of the company, said instructions were written to every commander, pointing out the dangers of this channel. The in structions so given might be general, but they were also special. Daniel Shandley, boatswain of the ship, was next examined. After confirming the statements of Capt. Baynton as to the delay occasioned to the vessel on the 23d of June, the witness said that after the vessel struck, either the captain or chief office' asked him whether the vessel was moving or not, when he replied that she was surging a little. He (witness) was called from the paddle-box, where he was standing, to go in a boat and take soundings, which he found varied from six fathoms to three and a-half fathoms, the vessel being about two cables' length from the reef. A kedge and stream anchor were afterwards got out, and a boat in charge of the second officer was despatched to St. Thomas for assistance, and on the 2d of July the Magdalena, Medway, Wye, and either the Conway or the Derwent arrived, and rendered the assistance required. By Captain Harris—When the ship struck he was below, and came on deck on to the starboard paddle-box, and then saw the reef, land being pointed out on the port bow. The sea was mode rate, with a ground swell and very little wind. Wm. Bastin, fifth engineer, said—l was in the stoke-hole at the time of the vessel striking. She struck forward first, and I felt her grating hard when she got abaft the engine -room, and orders were then given to " stop her," and immediately afterwards to "turn astern." The engines were kept going for two or three hours without her moving. By Mr. O'llowd—The engines were in good working order. By Captain Harris—No part of the machinery gave way on the ship striking. There was no hole in her bottom until some days afterwards, and she made very little water. Thomas Bates, quartermaster examined, said—l was at the wheel at 8 o'clock on the night -of the wreck, up to the ship striking. The course given me by the officer was W.S.W. I steered that course until 9 o'clock, when I received orders to change the course to S.W. and by W.; which course was continued about a quarter of an hour, when it was again altered to S.W. This was the course steered when the ship struok. I did not see land before she struck, it not being my duty to look out. By Captain Harris—l am quite sure when I took the wheel the course given me was W.S.W. I re lieved James Rand, a quartermaster, who gave me the course. The captain and chief officer at 9 p.m. gave me the order to alter the course to W.S.W. and by W. Mr. Traill—That is not the course in the log, which states that at 8 p.m. it was S.W. and by W , and so continued until 9 15. Witness—l am sure lam correct. I took great notice of the course I was steering that night. Captain Baynton, in reply to Mr. Traill—The course was altered after I consulted with the chief officer, and the index of the compass was set so as to prevent mistakes occurring by the quarter master. The Witness—At 9 o'clock both the captain and chief officer came aft, and the,chief officer gave me the course S.W. and by W. I made no answer, and the captain asked me if I did not hear, and I replied, " Yes." By Mr. Traill—l don't think the index of the Compass was altered. There was no change in the index whatever. Mr. Coxwell requested that the witness might be questioned as to whether he steered by directions or the index, as it might account for the loss of the vessel. Captain Harris (to Captain Baynton).—The course steered up to noon of the 30th was S.W.'in the log. Will you say that - the index was after wards altered ? Captain Baynton.—l did not see it altered, but I am positive it must have been. The index was S.W. after the ship struck. James Rand, examined—l was quartermaster of the I'aramatta, and was at the wheel from 6 to 8 on the evening of the wreck. 1 was succeeded by the witness Bates, and. the course' I gave him was W.S.W. By Mr. Traill—The course was not altered while I was at the wheel. There is an index to the com pass by which to steer. It is altered when the course is changed, but not always when the altera tion is only for a short time. The index was set at W.S.W. Frederick Martin, a quartermaster, corroborated the previous witnesses as to the course steered from 8 p.m. up to the time of the ship striking. Mr. Traill said he was of opinion that witness was wrong, for his evidence contradicted the log-book. The witness said he had stated what he believed to be correct. He had never seen the log-book or slate. At this period of the proceedings, Mr. Traill said it would be necessary to examine the persons on watch at the time of the wreck, and for that purpose an adjournment would be neces sary. In the meantime Captain Harris would ex amine the log-book, and if the statements of the latter witnesses were proved correct and contrary to the log book, the loss of the ship would be ac counted for. The inquiry was then adjourned. ACCOMPLISZIED BOY STVINDLE.R. (From the Manchester Guardian.) A youth of 13, of intelligent and interesting. ap pearance was yesterday charged, before Mr. Mans field, the Liverpool stipendiary, with embezzling £9, the property or his master, Mr. Goodacre, whole sale grocer, of Temple-court, Liverpool. The boy's name was Inigo Jones, and the evidence showed that, a few weeks ago his master left town for a short time, leaving the prisoner in charge of the office. His master entrusted him with £lO ; £1 to pay any miscellaneous expenses, and £9 to be sent to Miss I)entith, with whom Mr. Goodacre lodged. On Mr. Goodacre's return, he found the office de serted, and the following notice, in the prisener's handwriting, on the desk : " Dear Sir, a youth challenged me two a combat and I was not going two be made a coward of so I went to Aberyswith to fight him, and if I d' ont return in a week I will be slain. Ho Sir if you are a Christian keep this all in, and d'ont speak about it to my aunt. If you do 'my spirit shall always haunt you, Act like a Christian sir and be a friend to my aunt—Do not let my aunt see—Remember my words. I will be called John Shandred for dis guise, and if I get killed be a Friend two my, and in death I will be a friend two you. Remember mo "Your obedient and F Servant " INIGO JONES." The police were apprised of the circumstances, and search being made, the prisoner was arrested at Llandudno and brought to Liverpool. ' It tran spired that the lad had devoted himself pas sionately to the reading of novels of the " Jack Sheppard" school, and that his imagination had been warped and his conduct vitiated by these and other pursuits. A number of letters were put in purporting to have been written by Mr. Goodacre, but in reality the composition of the prisoner. These had been written evidently with the view of impressing tho prisoner's aunt with the idea that his master re posed unlimited confidence in him ; and some of them would have been considered ingenious even in an accomplished swindler. The prisoner was sent to the Reformatory (Akbar) for five years.

Mr. F. K. Hewitt, cashier at the London Joint stock Bank, said that on the 15th October the re quest produced was presented to him over the coun ter, purporting to come from Mr. H. C. Groom, 9, Lime-street, who had an account at the bank. Witness gave the person who presented it a stamped cheque-book, and took his receipt, which he signed in the name of " John Robertson," but witness could not say whether the prisoner was that person, his impression being that he was not. The cheque-book produced was the one referred to, but twenty-three cheques had since been cut out. The whole of these cheques had been presented at the bank, but not paid, as the forgeries were at once detected. They were all made payable to newspapers, and purported to be drawn by parties in the habit of advertising exten sively—such as Edwin Smith and Son, Savory and Son, Anthill and Co., and E. Moses and Son, but E. Moses and Son was the only firm of the whole who kept an account at the bank. Jarvis, detective, who had the prisoner in charge, handed a letter which the prisoner, after being in custody, addressed to his mother, and which was as follows : " City, Nov. 8, 1859. " Dear Mother,—You now see what your unkind treatment has brought me to. I am taken this day for forgery, and a good thing too, for I cannot ex perience more unhappiness than you have caused me the last week or two. I hope I shall be sent abroad, for I never want to sec England again. So farewell, my dear mother ; try and forget me. lam very sorry that you have been troubled with this affair, but it will be the last ti me , so goo d b ye ; may G od protect you from any more troubles, and believe me when I tell you that I am so far gone now that I do not care what becomes of me. lam now very ill, and have not had three hours' sleep since I saw you. I remain, yours, &c., 66 THOMAS BROOKS." Mr. Alderman Wire—How comes it that this letter is signed " Thos. Brooks," when the receipt for the cheque-book is signed " John Robertson." Jarvis—Brooks is his right name, I believe. He has been before eonvicted of a similar offence at the Old Bailey, and had 12 months for it. Sergeant Frankling, 23 E, said—From informa tion I received, I went last evening to a house in Little,George-street, Hampstead-road, from which I saw the pris9ner come out. I followed him, and told him I wanted him for some forged cheques, though I could not tell him how many, as I was not in pos sesTion of the facts, and that he must go with me to see Jarvis, a City detective. He then said, " Who are you, then ?" and I replied, " My name is Frankling. Don't you know me ? I am the one that had you in custody before." He said, " No, I don't recollect you at all." I put him into a cab, and we drove towards Bow-lane, but as the cabman did not ex actly know where the station was, I put my head out of the window to tell him where to turn. On looking round again, I observed that the prisoner had no hat on. I said, " Where is your hat ?" He replied, " Oh, it has fallen outside, but never mind; it is of no consequence ;" and I told the cabman to stop. I saw a person pick up the hat, which he gave to me, and on looking inside it, I found this cap (black velvet), and inside the cap this cheque book, with 23 cheques cut out. As soon as he saw the cap, he said, " Give me the cap," and I gave it to him, saying at the same time, " Look here, her e is a cheque-book," u p on which he said, " I know nothing about that. Somebody must have put it into my cap." I then took it to the station. Mr. Alderman Wire—Are you prepared to prove the forgeries with regard to the 23 cheques? Mr. Hewitt—We only charge him with forging the order for the cheque book. Mr. Alderman Wire—But I think it important that the forgeries should be traced. The cheques were all passed away in such shape. Mr. Hewitt—They all came back to the bank, either over the counter or through the elearing house, but none of them were paid by us. Mr. Alderman Wire—l must have some evidence with regard to the forgeries, in which the prisoner appears not to have been concerned alone. Jarvis—lf the prisoner is remanded, my lord, I have no doubt I can get evidence. Mr. Alderman Wire—Then let him be remanded for a week. He waq remanded accordingly. BOW-STREET.—Two bricklayers' labourers, . named John Barry and James Hennetann, men of large ..frame and muscular development, were charged with being drunk and creating a disturb ance at the Lord Nelson public-house, Clement's- Inn-passage, and assaulting several persons. One of the committees of the bricklayers and plasterers now on strike, or " locked out," is held at the above house, and on Tuesday the men attended to be paid the allowance they receive from the union. At about three o'clock the prisoners and several other labourers presented themselves and demanded money. They were told that only bricklayers and plasterers were paid there, and were directed by Mr. J. W. Gifford, the treasurer, to go to their own (the labourers') committee. They then went away, but shortly returned, burst open the door of the committee-room, and forced their way in, declaring that they would not go till they got some money. Barry made a blow at the treasurer, who, however, avoided it, and ran to the other end of the room, carrying his cash-box under his arm. Mr. S. Gifford, the landlord, and a number of brick layers, interfered to protect the treasurer, who ma naged to keep himself and his cash-box out of reach. The landlord, however, received several blows in the face, blackening his eyes. A bricklayer named Butcher was knocked down, trampled upon, kicked about the head and face, and much disfigured. Another man, named Wm. Tan, and some whose names were not mentioned, were also assaulted. The police being called in, speedily put a stop to the dis turbance, and took the prisoners in custody, but their companions (some half-dozen in number) succeeded in making their escape. The prisoners ware drunk. The prisoners said they were brought there by a bricklayer, who told them that was the place to get paid. But they denied that they had commenced the disturbance, alleging that some man was being illtreated by the bricklayers, and that they only in terfered to protect him. The landlord and the treasurer both declared that nothing of the sort had taken place. Mr. Jardine could have no doubt as to which side was entitled to credit, seeing that the prisoners were drunk and the witnesses sober. This could hardly be considered a mere assau l t; i t amounte d to a positive riot. But, taking into account that they had never been charged with any misconduct be fore, and also that, to men in their position, a few shillings was as much as so many pounds would bo to some people, it might be sufficient to fine them 40s. each, or in default commit them for 21 days. CLERKENWELE.—SERIOUS CHARGE OF As- SAULT AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.—The Rev. William Woolhouse Robinson, M.A., the incumbent of Christ Church, Chelsea, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer a summons which charged him with unlaw fully assaulting and beating police-constable Henry Tyler, 42 G, while in the execution of his duty. The complainant said—On Tuesday, the Ist of November, I had to execute a warrant for felony against a female named Rodgers. From informa tion I received I went to the house of the defendant, 28, Smith-street, Chelsea, in company with Mr. Rodgers. The door was opened to me by the de fendant, and I asked him if Mrs. Rodgers had come in. He said " Yes; she is up in my drawing room ; will you walk up ?" I was in plain clothes. I said I would. I then opened the street door, and told Mr. Rodgers to come in for the purpose of identifying the person, He followed me up stairs into the drawing-room, where I saw Mrs. Rodgers. I asked her her name in the presence of the defend ant. She said her name was Rodgers, and I said, "lam a police-constable, and I hold a warrant for your apprehension on the charge of bigamy." I had no sooner said the words than the defendant seized me by the throat with one hand, and put his other round my neck. His wife clung hold of me from behind round the waist. I had a very severe struggle with them, and daring the time Mrs. Rodgers made her escape, but was afterw ards taken. The defendant and his wife held me in the drawing-room. When I got to the foot of the stairs efound the door locked, and the servant girl said that Mrs. Rodgers had left the house. Mrs. Rodgers got over the wall into the next house. Cross-examined by a solicitor for the defence—l called at the defendant's house more than once. I said I wanted to see Mrs. Rodgers, that I had come from Lincoln's-inn-fields, and that I had a letter of great impoitAnce to give her. After Mr. Rodgers had gone the defendant asked me to let him look at my warrant. I produced the warrant before she escaped. When the defendant had read the war rant he said that Mrs. Rodgers must be taken. Mr. Thomas Rodgers, an independent gentlemah, residing at Birch Villa, said—l went with the last witness lo the house of the defendant. When the complainant went up stairs he said to Mrs. Rodgers " I am a constable, and I apprehend you for felony or bigamy." The d e f en d ant t h en took hold of his neckcloth, having his knuckles next his throat. At the same moment Mrs. Rodgers rushed out. I ran towards the door, and as I did so I saw Mrs. Ro binson seize the constable round the waist. Mr Robinson (the defendant) also had one arm round the constable's neck, and with the other hand he was holding his neckcloth. Cross-examined—l was formerly a clergyman of the Church of England. The officer produced his warrant. He was opening the warrant as he went up stairs. I have been connected with the police. The solicitor for the defence said he did not think there was any cc.Qeto answer. Mr. Tyrwliitt said the facts of the ease lay in a very small compass, but the law must be asserted and vindicated. The assault was not violent, and was the emotion of the moment. He should fine the defendant 10s. to mark the impropriety of the act. MARYLEBONE.—ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.— Thomas Loftus was placed at the bar charged with having robbed his master, Edward Dresden, Esq., 2, Devonshire-place, Portland•place, of property of different descriptions. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had for misconduct received notice to quit, and that on the previous night prosecutor told him that he should make an examination of the plate, &c., in order to ascertain if everything was correct, when he admitted that he had pledged a number of knives, as also plated spoons, forks, &c., at the same time giving up 13 duplicates, and alleging that it was his intention t o h ave redeemed the whole of the things as soon as he was able. The prisoner was then given into the custody of Ser geant Knight, 19 1). Some of the stolen property was produced by pawnbrokers and identified by the prosecutor, and the prisoner, against whom these will on another day be a charge preferred for obtaining goods under false pretences, was remanded till Wednesday next. LAMBETH. BUILDERS' STRIKE. -- THREATS AND INTIMIDATION.—Stephen Jenkins, Win. Stan ley, and George Davis, journeymen bricklayers, appeared before Mr. Elliott, to answer to summonses taken out against them by John Roy, and charging them with having unlawfully used towards the complainant certain threats and intimidation for the purpose of forcing him to belong to a certain asso ciation of bricklayers, and to contribute to a common fund thereof and pay certain fees in relation thereto, against the statute, &c. Mr. Chipperfieldappeared on behalf of the com plaint, and Mr. Lewis, Jun., for the defendants. The former gentleman, in opening the case, read the following applicable and appropriate extract from the able addrees of the late Sir W. Tindal to the grand jury in the memorable Stafford Combi nation Case :—" In the case supposed (said his lord ship), that is, a dispute between the masters and the workmen as to the proper amount of wages to be given, it was probably thought by the Legisla ture that if the workmen on the one part refused to work, or the masters on the other refused to em ploy, as such a state of things could not continue long, it might fairly be expected that the party must ultimately give way whose pretences were not founded on reason and justice—the masters if they offered too little, the workmen if they demanded too much. But unfortunately for themselves and others, those who were discontented did not rest here. Not satisfied with the exercise of their own right to withhold their own labour, if they were discontented with the price they received for it, they assumed the. power of interfering with the right which ethers posse sse d o f exerc i s i ng th e i r discretion upon the same point; and accordingly you will have numerous cases here before you in which large bodies of dissatisfied workmen in terfere by personal violence, and by threats and intimidation, to compel others who were per fectly willing to continue to labour in their calling at the rate of wages then paid, to desist from their work against their own will, to add themselves to the number of the dissatisfied party ; than which a more glaring act of tyranny and despotism by one set of men over another cannot be conceived. If there is one right which, beyond all others, the la bourer ought to be able to call his own, it is the right of the exertion of his own personal strength and skill in the fall enjoyment of his own free will, altogether unshackled by the control or dictates of his fellow-workmen. Yet, strange to say, this very right which the discontented workman claims for himself to its fullest extent, he does, by a blind per versity and unaccountable selfishness, entirely re fuse to his fellows who differ in opinion from him. It is unnecessary to say that a course of proceeding so utterly unreasonable in itself, so injurious to so ciety,so detrimental to the interests of trade, and so oppressive against the rights of the poor man, must be gross and flagrant violation of the law, and must be put down, when the guilt is established, by a proper measure of punishment." In conclusion, Mr. Chipperfied said he had no doubt that after hearing the evidence he should place before him, his 'worship would be satisfied that a gross violatiox of the law had taken place in the case before him, and serious injury and injustice done to his client. Mr. Elliott, finding that the offence was not fully set out in the summonses, amended the charge by adding to it the words in the same clause in the statute, and which he was empowered to do by the provisions of Jervis's act, viz., " That if any person shall, by violence to the person or property, or by threats or intimidation, or by molesting, or in any way obstructing another, force or endeavour to force any journeyman, workman, or other person hired or employed in any manufacture, trade, or business, to depart from his hiring employment, oa work, and every person so offending, or aiding, or abetting, or assisting therein, being convicted thereof, shall be imprisoned and may be kept to hard labour for any term not exceeding three calendar months.' The complainant, John Roy, who appeared a very deceit and intelligent man, was here sworn, and de posed that on the morning of the 2d he was employed by Mr. Hunt, who is building some cottages in Montpelier-road, Camberwell, to go to work on the building as a bricklayer. On that day nothing par ticular took place. On the following day (Thurs day) the 3d, on his returning to the building from his dinner, and while standing close to the building, the defendant called to him and asked him if he was not a " black." He asked him what he meant, and Stanley repeated the question, when he replied he was a bricklayer. Stanley next asked him if he belonged to their society, and on his saying he did not, he told him a was a -- black, and that none of the men would work with him. 'Witness replied that he (Stanley) did not employ him, and he pro ceeded to the scaffold w h ere h e had been at 'work, but was told that no materials should be brought to him, and Stanley said that if he came down he would put his head in a parcel of slush, and that such fel lows as him should be burned alive. Jenkins, who acted as foreman, as k e d hi m i f he was a black, and to join the society, saying that if he gave one of the other men a shilling they would propose him, after which he could pay his fees and then go on with his work. He replied he always held himself inde pendent, and never received any of the society's money, and he did not see why the society should have his. Jenkins then said that the men would not work with him, and that he must, therefore, take his money and be off. He said he thought himself entitled to a day's wages under the circumstances, and should not leave the building until discharged. Jenkins repeated that the men would not work with him, and calling all the workmen present together, put it to a show of hands as to whether he should remain in the building, and all them, about 20 in number, held up their hands against him. The de fendant, Davis, abused him very much, called him a vagabond, and said he ought to be ashamed of him self. He also said he should not work there or any where else that he could prevent, for that he was a " black." Mr. Elliott—What is meant by a black ? Complainant--A black, Sir, is a man who goes to work at a job while the persons formerly engaged on it are on strike. Some years ago the men on a job at Price's candle manufactory struck for 6d. a day, and I went to work at the old price, ss. a-day, and from that time I have been called a black. It is the practice with the society men to put the name of a black, as they have placed mine, on a list, and send it round to all the society's houses, so that it may be called over every three months. Mr. Chipperfield--Did you see Mr.. Hunt, who had employed you, before you l e ft th e b u il d i ng ? Witness—Yes, he came to me and said ho was very sorry, and that it was a great pity the difference be tween the men was not settled, and that it was not his fault. I complained to him (Mr. Hunt) of the manner in which I had been treated, and told him I should come to this mutt for redress, a course which he approved of. The witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr. Lewis, who failed to elicit anything mate rial from him. The next witness called was Mr. James Henry Hunt, who said he took the complainant Rcy on the work, and that the defendants were also em ployed by him on the same buildings. On Thurs day, about 10 o'clock, the defendant Jenkins, who was employed to keep the men's time, came to him and said there was a man on the building, and the other men refused to work with him, aid that he had been struck against before on some other job. I told him I did not wish to interfere, but at the same lime I wanted my work done. I went to the scaffold where Roy was, and said it was very un pleasant for me to hear the contentions between them, and be said it was very hard to be driN e from his work, and that he had bcen called vile names by them, and that they had used insulting language towards him, but this I did not hear. I told him that if he had been insulted ho had the law to protect him. I heard the defendant Stanley call Roy a black. When Roy went away the others then went to work. This was the case on the part of the complainant, and Mr. Lewis, in reply, contended that the defen dants had a perfect right to object to work with the complainant if they thought fit, and in anything. they had done, as he should be able to show by evi dence, they had not violated the law. He then called and examined at considerable length three of the men who had been present, but their testimony did not alter, in any mate r i a l d e gree, the facts sworn to by the complainant, except their denying that violence, threatening, or abusive languag e ha d been used. Two of th e witnesses said they re fese a to work with the complainant because he was " black," and a thi r d said his objection was that ° the complainant signing the document. After a lengthened investigation, Mr. Elliott remarked th a t th er e was, as had been mentioned by Mr. Lewis, a most important Pr of ciple involved in these class of cases, and en° I much deeper interest to th e men , if they could 01 see it, than to the ma s t ers . H e (Mr. Elliott) held it to be a violation o f th e l aw , an d he said so en' , phatically, that a numb er o f men should, by rel u i c ing to work with him, ge t a wor kman. or mech an `4 discharged from his em pl o y men t. The law g a in them the power to make certain rules, and obta the best price for their labour, but vet it would u sanction proceedings such as those adopted in ' : a nd present case. He then sentenced Jenkin s , Stanley to one month, and D av is to 14 day s I prisonment. t he Mr. Lewis at once en t ere d an appeal a- . 0 , Quarter Sessions, and the necessary bail hating been tendered and acce pt e d, th e defendants for the present set at lib er ty. t COUNTRY 1114.RKISTS MELTON MOAVBRAY—Nov. 8. s lovi There was a middling show of wheat to-day, VCl' - business at the annexed prices — Whit e wheat, nel, in . ey Od to 44s Od ; old, 40s Od t o 46 5 . per 36 stone ; b ar o d per good supply, at 38s to 40s for old, and 30s to 42$ 464 t o qr. for new ; oats, 28s to 34s Od per 24 stone ; bea ns ' 02s for old; new, 42s to 44s per 38 st.
