nflammatory appeals, which intend, or tend, to make this Union less perfect, or to jeopard or disturb its domestic tranquillity, or to mar the spirit of harmony, compromise, and concession upon which the Union was formed by cur fathers, whose records we have cited, and whose legacies we have in these compacts, laws, and administrations. (Cheers, and cries of Good.') That we regard the recent Outrage at Helper's Ferry as a crime, not only against the State of Virginia, but against the Union—(renewed cheers) itself ; and we approve the firmness by which the treason has been duly punished. (' Three cheers for old Virginia.' ) That, in our opinion, the subject of slavery has been too lon g mingled with party politics—(' That's so')—and as the result has been the creation of sectional parties, contrary to the advice, letter, and spirit of the farewell address of the father of our common country—that, therefore, it is the duty of planters, farmers, manufactuers, merchants, me chanics, and of every citizen, north and south, east and west, to discountenance all parties and organisations that thus violate the spirit of the Constitution and the advice of Washington. That in the present crisis' the true way to meet it' is for the friends of the Constitution and the Union throughout all the land to convene Union meetings, and to form Union organisations, in the spirit and tone that called this meeting and that have inspired its proceedings. Resolved, that the Committee of Arrangements be authorised to correspond with such Union organizations as may be formed, and to take such measures as they may deem proper for the pro- Inulgation and maintenance of the principles of this meet- i ng. The time has come when every American citizen must declare whether ho-intends to keep step to the music of the Union,' or lendhis voice to swell the dismal chorus of sectional discord and defiance. (Cheers.") Letters of apology for absence, but of sympathy With the object of the meeting, were read from Mr. D. S. Dickinson, Mr. Van Buren, Millard 'illmore, Franklin Pierce, George Briggs, and D. b. Barnard. A - despatch from New Orleans of the 20th con tains some important intelligence respecting the United States' treaty with Mexico:— "The United States' steamer Brooklyn has arrived here, bringing Mr. McLane, our Minister to Mexico, and his funn y. " Mr. McLane's Secretary of Legation has also arrived, beari ng With him the treaty with the Juarez Government. It Wag ratified on the 14th inst., and provides for a perpe tual right of way across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec from Rio Grande to Mazatlan, and from Guayamaa to Arizona, with warehouses at the termini of each transit. All goods between the Atlantic and Pacific States are to pass free of duty. Goods shipped from transit warehouses to foreign countries are also to be free of duty. " Our troops, military stores, and munitions of war are to pass through Tehuantepec and Sonora the same as Mexi can. The neutrality of the transit is to be guarded by both Governments united. With or without the consent of Mexico, we are to possess the right to protect the transit and property by force. There is to be perfect religiousfree dom. No forced loans on our citizens are to be permitted. "A supplemental convention permits intervention in Mexico to protect our citizens and enforce the treaty stipu lations. "In compensation for the release of duties on passing transits the United States is to pay 4,000,000 dols., two of are to be received in payment of claims. "The treaty was d es p a t c h e d t o W as hi ng t on thi s even i ng . The above is derived from authentic sources." A desp a t ch, dated New Orleans, Dec. 17, says= " nr "vneville.

In the Kentucky Legislature on the 13th, Mr. Grover introduced a resolution instructing the re presentatives and senators from the State, in Con gress, to urge upon the treaty-making power of the Government the necessity of inserting in the treaty of 1842 a provision making the condition of fugi tives from labour equally binding upon Great Bri tain with that of those from justice. The resolu tion was unanimously adopted. SAVINGS BANKS. On Saturday, the last day of the old year, was published a return from each Savings Bank in England and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, contain. iug the names of the officers, their respective sala /les, and other allowances, if any ; the amount of security each gives ; the number of accounts re maining open ; the total amount owing to deposi tors ; the total amount invested with the Commis sioners for the Reduction of the National Debt ; the rate or interest paid to depositors on the vari ous amounts of deposit, and the average rate of in tseerpeasrtaot e n all Surplus Find, d, and the total amount of the on the 20th Nov., 1858, &e., on th e motion of Sir Stafford Northcote, M.P. From a r ecapitulation of the details, pre pared by the compilers of the return, it appears that in the whole of the United Kingdom (including the isles in British seas) the number of banks was 606 ,• the number of unpaid officers, 621, and of paid officer s 1,256 ; the amount of secu rity given b y the unpaid officers, £381,820, and by the paid, £356,530; the salaries and allowances of the officers, £88,184; the annual expenses of the management for the year ended 20th November, 1858, £121,125; the number of accounts remaining Open on the 20th November, 1858, £1,398,886; the total amount owed to depositors on that day, £ 35 ,947,340 ; the total amount invested with the C ommissioners of the National Debt (including surplus fund), £35,757,455 ; the balance in the hands of the treasurers on the 20th November, 1858, £302,901; the average rate of interest paid to de besitors only £2 18s. 10d. p er cent.

MAJOR RIVERSDALE GLYN.—It is with sincere regret that we have to record the death of Major Rivers dale Glyn, of the Rifle Brigade, on his way home from India. He was not only a favourite with his brother offi cers and the men of the battalion, but he was esteemed and regarded by every one of, the British army, with whom, though young, his varied service had thrown him largely in contact. Kindly, generous, frank, full of good feeling and elinpathy, courageous, and cheerful, he possessed in the highest degree the characteristics of a good friend and of a gallant soldier. During the war in the Crimea ho was at one time, as subaltern in the Bth Hussars, on duty with the escort of Lord Raglan, and never missed a turn of duty. While the Rifle Brigade were engaged in the most arduous duties of the siege he exchanged from the cavalry into that famous battalion, in which he saw much arduous service. After the siege was over he enjoyed a very brief respite from active duty till he was sent with his battalion to India, where he was present at some of the most serious affairs under Lord Clyde, in every one of which he dis played the same qualities which had gained for him the re gard and respect of his brother officers. All through Oude, up . to the T ors i, th roug h t h e summer and winter cam paigns, through the subsequent marches, he went on foot pith his. men till the dispersion of the rebels brought to rum and his brigade a short rest, which only developed the •aeods of the disease planted by exposure.

The business transacted during the past week in most of the manufacturing districts of the north of England has been restricted and confined in most instances to immediate requirements. At Man chester India goods have been extremely dull, and prices have given way. At Leeds the purchases of woollen cloths have been on a very limited scale, but active operations are in progress for the spring trade. Business at Bradford has been moderately brisk for the season of the year, and prices remain firm for both yarns and piece goods. The lace trade of Nottingham has shown little improvement, but in the cotton hosiery department there has been more animation. At Leicester most of the operatives are in full employment in the worsted hosiery manufactures. The general aspect of busi ness at Birmingham and its neighbourhood has been steady, and the iron trade of South Staffordshire has been rather active for the season of the year. During the last few days the demand for money has been very urgent, creating greater activity in the general market as well as at the Bank of England. Full rates have been charged for first class bills, and for those of an inferior description advanced quotations have been exacted. The with drawal of gold from the Bank is also an unfavour able feature, but some large arrivals of specie are re ported this morning, and the discount market may experience temporary relief from the payment of the dividends, as the whole of them will pass into the hands of the public, owing to the limited advances obtained from the Bank since the transfer books were closed. A 5 per cent. loan, amounting to £2,800,000, is announced in connection with the proposed con version of the public debt of Canada. The stock is to be issued at par; the instalments to be spread over a period of 13 months, and discount at the rate of 5 per cent. is to .be allowed for cash pay ments in advance. The option of converting the Permissive Government's 6 per cents. payable in Canada, and the Consolidated Municipal Loan Fund Bonds on specified conditions, and the ex change of the Sterling Bonds of Canada, bearing 6 per cent. and 5 per cent. interest, is limited to the 30th June. The imports of specie announced to-day comprise £280,000 by the Anglesey, and £112,000 by the Lewchew, both from Victoria, besides £194,320 by La Plata, from the West Indies, and £30,302 by the Persia, from the United States. About £30,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank on Saturday. _ _ _ The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with some degree of animation, about 9,000 bales having been sold at previous rates. In the Railway Share Market very little business was recorded, but prices were will maintained. The Market for English Securities, to•day, has not undergone any change of importance ; it opened with a very firm appearance, and an up ward tendency in prices was apparent, Consols being 95 lex div. for the 10th prox., and 951 for February. The New Threes and Reduced An• nuities are 951 d ; Exchequer Bills, 28s. to 30s. prem. ; India Debentures, 981 a ; the 5 per Cent. Enfaced paper, 961 t, and the last loan, 1041. Business in the Foreign Market has been very quiet. The principal feature has been the rise in Mexican Bonds, viz., to 221 23, owing to intelli gence to the effect that the treaty with the United States has been signed. A further amount has also been paid to Mr. Whitehead on account of the divi dends. Turkish 6 per Cents. are about 761 771, and the New 63} 611, being steady. A few deal ings are recorded in the Peruvian Dollar Bonds, but the other South American Stocks are at nomi nal prices. Russian 49 per Cents, have been quoted 98 to 981 ex-dividend, and the 3 per Cents. at 66. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. give the following as the prices of American securities : Redeemable. Prices.

THE LATE MURDEROUS ATTACK AT WORCESTER. —WORCESTER, Saturday.—The particulars of a brutal aid murderous attack upon an old man, named James Williams, at Henwick, near this city yesterday week, by his nephew, John Williams, was reported in this paper on Monday last. The prisoner has now been finally examined by the county magistrates, the unfortunate uncle being sufficiently reco vered to give his evidence, and has been fully committed to take his trial at the next Worcestershire Spring Assize. The old man stated that since the prisoner had been convicted of bigamy in marrying his cousin (the old man's daughter), the daughter had lived with him (her father) and he had re fused to allow the prisoner to visit her:lt:seems the daughter met the prisoner in the street, about an hour after the attack on the old man, and before he had been traced by the police. She was then unaware of what had taken place. T_Ett: SUN, LOI4DON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2, 1860. 'll4 FR MARKET.--j THIS DAY.) 013DINI,VitY SHARES D STOCKS. Share Railways. ;Paid.

For good and fine samples the demand ruled steady, at full quotations, but all other kinds were a dull inquiry. Fine barley and oats were firm in price. All other produce commanded but little attention. Throughout the Continent wheat has moved off slowly at former rates, but the value of spring corn has been well supported. Advices fiom the United States are to the effect that both wheat and flour were rather drooping in price. Only limited supplies of English produce were received up to our market last week. From abroad the imports amounted to 3,475 quarters of wheat, 20,626 barley, 11,970 oats, 3,428 beans, 6,335 tares, 19,177 linseed, 6,991 rape seed, 2,900 maize, 482 sundry seeds, 443 sacks and 1,490 barrels of flour. The quantity of English wheat received up to our mar ket to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was small. Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both red and white was limited, buyers showed nu disposition to operate beyond actual wants. Goad and fine samples sold slowly at about last week's currency, but other kinds wore very dull, and to have forced sales lower rates must have been sub mitted to by the factors. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat. Nearly all kinds were a dull inquiry, but without leading to any quotable change in value. The business doing in floating cargoes off Falmouth was only moderate. The show of home-grown and foreign barley was toler ably good. On the whole the demand ruled steady, at previous quotations. New malt maintained its previous value, but old quali ties were very dull. Good and sound oats were in steady request, at full prices. Damp samples were dull at late rates. Most kinds of beans wore a dull inquiry, and is to 2s per quarter cheaper. White peas maintained their previous value, but grey qualities gave way is per quarter. Flour sold slowly ; in prices, however, no change took place. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Even for the time of year the supply of beasts on offer this morning was only moderate, but there were some very useful breeds on sale. Tho attendance of butchers was tolerably numerous, and the beef trade ruled steady, at, in some instances, an improvement in the quotations of 2d per 81bs, the best Scots and crosses having realised 5s per Blbs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, amounted to 1,250 shorthorns and crosses; from other parts of 'England, 900 of various broods; from Scotland, 270 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 90 oxen and heifers. The supply of nearly all breeds of sheep was limited. Generally speaking, the mutton trade ruled firm, at extreme rates, and the best old Downs produced 58 6d per 81bs. There were a few Dorset lambs on offer. Calves—the supply of which was only moderate—were in fair request, at full prices.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE J. L. ANDERSON. This bankrupt was described as formerly of Cannon-street West, linen draper, under the style orfirm of Anderson and Co., and now carrying on business with Theodore Allen in Milk-street, City of London, under the firm' of Anderson, Allen, and Co. Mr. Curwood now appeared for the bankrupt, and asked for an adjournment sine die with protection, on the ground that the bankrupt was suffering under consumption, and not likely to recover. • Mr. Hughes, from Mr. Linklater's, said that the bank rupt had applied to the Insolvency Court, where his schedule had been filed, and it was only from that that the creditors could ascertain the state of the affairs, and as there were no assets the assignee did not feel bound to incur any expense. He (Mr. Hughes) thought that an adjourn ment with protection from month to month would be sufficient. His Honour said that, under tha circumstances, he should grant protection for three months. IN RE SAAR AND SHAW. These bankrupts were described as of John-street, Cam bridge-heath, boiler makers, and came up to pass their last examination unopposed. The debts are small, and it was stated that the creditors might have been paid in full, had an offer been accepted ; but there was a quarrel between the partners and a third party. The only question of the slightest interest in the case was on the application for an allowance, each bankrupt claiming £2O as excepted article' out of the joint estate. His Honour considered that only £2O could be allowed out of a joint estate to be divided between the bankrupts ; but where there were separate estates, each bankrupt could take £2O of property at the broker's valuation, but he did not think that the bankrupt could not afterwards claim on the joint estate, but he would not make an order at the moment. CRIMINAL COURT-(171IS DAY . OLD COURT. The January sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning before the Lox d Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen, and Sheriffs. The ralonder contains the names of 42 prisoners for trial. The Recorder, in his charge to the grand jury, expressed his satisfaction that the number of prisoners for trial was less than he ever remembered since he had the honour o a seat on the bench. There was one charge of infanticide , and although, undoubtedly, cr i mes i nc l u di ng v i o l ence t o the person generally were certainly on the decreasexhe was afraid that this particular crime was not only not decreasing, but was on the increase. In the case that would now be brought before them the principal question for their consi deration would be, first, whether the child was born alive ; and next, whether it was made out to their satisfaction that the death was the result of violence, and that the prisoner's was the hand by which the violence was inflicted. If all these acts should be made out to their satisfaction it would be their duty to find a true bill. 'I he learned gentleman concluded by stating that he did not know that there was any other case likely to present the least difficulty, and he should therefore dismiss them to the performance of their duty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TRIS DAY.) MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON THII RIVER MERSEY. FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE. On Friday afternoon one of the most melancholy accidents that have for some time occurred took place on the Mersey, by which more than twenty. Hires have been. sacrificed. It appears that a vessel ' called the Grand Trianon, commanded by Captain Henry Clarke, left the Birkenhead Dock on Friday morning at high water, and anchored near the middle of the river, off Rock Ferry. She is an emigrant ship, bound for Adelaide. A number of men were on board, consisting of riggers and other artisans, who had been employed in various ways in fitting up the ship id getting her ready for sea. .These men, having completed the work on board ship, were desirous of going ashore; and, with this object in view, availed themselves 'of a boat that came alongside. The boat belonged to Thomas 4lackay, a man well known as a boatman on the river. With regard to the exact number of persons on board there are various statements, but, so far as can at present be ascertained, the'number must have been at least 2.0 or 27 ; some of the survivors esti mate it as high as 39. It was intended that the boat should run into what is called the Cockle-hole, near the Brunswick Dock, and land her passengers. A strong breeze was blowing from the south-west, with rather a heavy sea, the tide being on the ebb. The boat, which was under sail, approached to within a short distance of the Brunswick-pier, when a sea struck her and she shipped some water. Im mediately afterwards she gave a lurch and filled, and, as one of the survivors expressed himself, " she went from under them." All the occupants of the boat were thus thrown into the water, and, as may readily be imagined, a fearful scene ensued. Owing to the heavy . sea the unfortunate men could do little towards saving themselves, and the struggles of most of them were of brief duration. The accident having been observed by several persons on the Brunswiek pier, two boats put off immediately to render assistance. One of, them was manned by James Godson, Thomas Slack, Wm. Minshull, and Wm. Reece, and by dint of great exertion they reached the scene of the catastrophe. The boat picked up Captain H. Clarke, the commander of the ship ; Thomas Killing, a labourer ; Thomas Mackay, the owner of the boat; and a man un known, supposed to be a rigger.. All of them ex cept the last-named were taken' to the Southern Hospital, where they received prompt medical as sistance. Mackay was so little injured that he left the hospital immediately and proceeded to his own home, in Park-road. The others were, by the usual appliances resorted to on such occasions, soon placed out or danger, and arc progressing .favourably. Another of the survivors, John O'Hara, a seaman, saved himself by swimming towards the pierhead, where a life buoy-was thrown to him, and he was brought ashore at the Cockle-hole slip. The other boat previously alluded to which put off to render assistance was mannedloy 11rni. Morton, Wm. Hill, Stephen Benjamin; and a seaman. This boak picked up Thomas Grue, who was brought to the George's Pier, and conveyed thence to the receiving house at Prince's Dock. After being placed in a warm bath, and other means adopted for his restora tion, he gradually recovered. We regret to add that all. the other poor fellows who occupied the boat met a watery grave. Supposing there were 28 persons in the boat, this would leave 22 unaecounted for. A large portion of them were riggers, and the remainder artisans and labourers who hsd been employed in various ways on board the ship. It is said that the boat was rather deeply laden, though the accident is not ascribed to this cause. Themes Grue, the boatman who was removed to the receiving -house at the Prince's Dock, made the following statement relative to the melancholy occurrence :—Thomas Mackay, the owner of the boat, and myself were engaged to attend the Grand Trianon, and we accordingly went over to Birken head and saw that vessel out of the dock into the middle of the river opposite Rock Ferry. At about ' half-past three o'clock the captain of the ship and a number of riggers, labourers, and others got into our boat for the purpose of going on shore. There were about 28 or 29 of us altogether. The wind was blowing fresh from the S.W., but the water round the Grand Trianon when we left her was not very rough, and we did not consider it dangerous to go ashore in the boat. Wo had a foresail up. When about 200 yards from the Coburg Dock Pierhead the sea was very rough, and I had some foreboding that something wrong would take place. 'To prevent accident the people on board were told by Thomas Mackay to sit steady, but immediately afterwards the boat was struck with a very heavy squall, and the back sea from the pierhead filled her with water, and she instantly went down under our feet. I leaped as far as I could from the boat, and then I found that a lad had hold of one of my legs, but in order that both of us should not be drowned I kicked him off. The screams of the people in the water for assistance were dread ful, but I could not see many of them, owing to the great swell and the heavy waves. I heard Wm. Robbins, the rigger, who had a wooden leg, sing out as the boat went down—" 0 Lord, save me ; we are gone !" I succeeded in getting off my coat, and then swam with the tide towards the shore. I had my head frequently under the water, and at times thought that there was no use in continuing my efforts to reach the land by swimming, as I felt certain I should be drowned. I however per severed, and was ultimately picked up by William Hill and William Morton, in the boat Jane, near the Queen's Dock Basin. I was much exhausted, but, nevertheless had to walk from the George's Pierhead to the receiving -house, owing to the cab driver refusing to take me because my clothes were wet. Mackay's boat was about 24 feet long and 7 feet beam, strongly built, and I could have trusted her almost in any sea. The names of the whole of the sufferers by this melancholy occurrence are not yet ascertained, but the following are known to be some of them :—Wm. Robins, Grafton-street ; Robert Jones, Whitley street ; John Thwaites, Dalton-street ; Alexander Johnson, Kirkdale ; George Wilham, Watkinson street ; Edward Butler, Grafton street ; William Browne, Upper Frederick-street; Daniel Whaling, Mann-street ; James Irving, Rathbone-street ; William Williams, George Sherman, and a boy. All these are married men, and have families. They were riggers, in the employ of Mr. Evans, Upper Frederick-street. Up to a late hour last evening none of.the bodies had been recovered. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OBTAINING MONEY BY THE FALSE PRETENCE OF GETTING ♦ CHILD INTO A SCROOL.—William Harris, a stonemason, residing Lt Pendleton-cottage, Hercules'- buildings, Westminster-road, waa charged, before Mr. Beadon, with obtaining of Miss Sarah Hughes, of 14, Golden:squaro, the sum of £5, by the false preterco of getting a little girl into a school. The prosecutrix said—l have known the prisoner about two months, by assisting him. He said he would get my sister's child into the Stonemasons' School, as it was neg lected by its parents. He said he had been to the meeting and paid 2s. 6d. for entering the child's name, and asked me for Bs. for another purpose ; and then said he should want £5 to pay to the institution, and that the child would have it returned at the end of four years, when it left. She paid him tho Bs. then, and on the 21st of December paid him the £5, and he gave me a receipt for the same, and I gave him £1 for himself for his trouble. After I paid him the money the prisoner said he would bring me the rules of the school to read, but he never did so, and that caused me to suspect him. I sent to his house, but he was out, and the following Monday his wife called on me, and said her husband had been robbed of the money. I saw no more of him till he was taken into custody, and having made inquiriei at the place where the stonemasons meet, in the Westminster-road, I have ascertained that there is no such school in existence. I should not have parted with my money but that the prisoner said he could get the child into the school. Wm. Hellicar, 171 C, said—l took the prisoner into cus• tody on Saturday evening, and told him he was charged by Miss Hughes with obtaining money by false pretence s for getting a child into a school. The prisoner said he should have done so if he could, but had lost the money in a public-house. In answer to Mr. Beadon, the prosecutrix said the child was legitimate, its father being in the brass trade, but that it had been neglected. The prisoner said the school was between Clapham and Wandsworth. Mr. Beadon said he would remand the prisoner for a week, and a stonemason had better be in attendance to state whether there was any such school or not. THAMES. ALLEGED MURDER OF AN ENGLISH SEAMAN ON BOARD AN AMERICAN SHIP.—Mr. Walter Cole, of 25, York-street, Blackfriars-road, came before Mr. Yardley and stated that his brother-in-law, James Matthew Hum phreys, an ordinary seaman, had been beaten and cruelly murdered on board the ship Devonshire. Mr. Yardley—When, and upon what voyage ? Mr. Cole—He was beaten in , a niost savage manner be tween Ist and Bth of December, and upon the last-named day he was again beaten by the second mate, who shook the rigging and east him overboard, and he was drowned. Mr. Yardley—Where is the Devonshire ? My. Cole—ln the London Docks. She arrived on Satur day. Mr. Yardley—ls the Devonshire a British ship ? Mr. Cole—No sir; an American ship—one of the New York liners. Mr. Yardley—Then I have no jurisdiction whatever. Mr. Cole—What am I to do, sir ? My relative has been beaten and murdered. How am Ito obtain redress ? Mr. Yardley-1 would advise you to make application to the American Consul. Mr. Cole, who was accompanied by. Mr. John Charles Humphreys, the brother of the deceased, then retired. Before leaving the court they handed to our reporter a statement, of which the following is a copy, and said if the American Consul did not give them redress they should apply to the Home Secretary and the Board of Trade. James Matthew Humphreys, an Englishman, joined the ship Devonshire, at New York, as ordinary seaman, on the Ist of December last. He was kicked by the captain on the first day the vessel sailed The second mate of the ship frequently ill-used him. On the night of the 6th of De cember the second mate beat the deceased with a belaying pin, kicked him in a savage manner, and sent him up to the main royal mast head. Humphreys was then so seriously bruised about the breast that he could scarcely draw his breath. On the 7th deceased went to the chief mate of the Devonshire and obtained some opodildoc to rub his breast. On the 7th of December the second mate went down into the forecastle and called the deceased a d-d loafering: son of a b- and:a d-d London thief, and struck him two or three times in the face, and gave him five minutes to get out of the forecastle on to the deck, and threatened if he exceeded that time he would pull him out. On the Bth of December the finishing stroke was put to the cruelty of the second mate. All hands were engaged in reefing the maintop-sail. The second mate eame up the rigging with a marling spike and beat the unfortunate deceased off the rigging, saying, " Go over you God d--- son of a b-," and the poor fellow went overboard and perished. No means were adopted to save him, and no boat was lowered. Mr. Cole added that he received the names and addresses of several of the crew and passengers who were witnesses to the brutal punish ment inflicted on the deceased. Her Majesty's steam-ship Urgent will not leave Queenstown for the Capo of Good Hope until to-morrow. Letters, &c., will be in time for her if posted at the General Post-office to-night. ATTEMPTED MURDER BY A MARINE.—A woman of the unfortunate class, named Annie Fossett, is now re maining in a very precarious condition, under medical treat ment, at the Greenwich union workhouse, in consequence of having been stabbed with a knife by marine at Wool wich, named John M'Carthy, who has been apprehended, and is now in custody on the charge. INQUIRY INTO THE Loss OF THE INDIAN SCREW STEAmER.—The inquiry was resumed on Saturday in the St. George's Hall, by Mr. Mansfield, Liverpool stipendiary magistrate, and Captain Harris, nautical assessor; but the evidence adduced was simply a recorroboration of the state ments recently made as to the probable cause of the wreck of the vessel. The government charts, however, were stated to be very incomplete in their bearings on the currents and soundings in the vicinity of the place where the Indian was wrecked ; and Captain Harris intimated his intention of laying the subject before the Lords of the Treasury, with a view to the coast being surveyed and the chart rearranged. Captain Smith, the commander of the Indian at the time she wont ashore, was exonerated from all blame.
