Mr. WOOLRYCH, the standing counsel of the Board, laid before the Board a report from the Main Drainage Committee submitting a bill for-the amendment of the Metropolis Local Management Act. THE EARL OUTLET. A report was brought up from the Main Drainage Committee, recommending—" That so much of the cost of the works at the Earl Outlet, St. George's Wharf, as relates to the construction of the brick and iron-pipe sewers, a tender for which, for the sum of £8,566, was accepted on Friday last, be charged to the Main Drainage Rate; and that the cost of the engines, engine -house, pumps, &c., be paid by the several parishes, according to the actual benefit derived, on the same principle as that adopted by the Board with respect to the re-appor tionment of the Rock Loan." The recommendation was agreed to, and aft er the formal business had been disposed of the Board adjourned. STATE OF TRAD.E. MANCHESTER, March 23.—The improvement in the tone of the market which showed itself at the end of last week has grad ua lly be c ome confirmed. There is now a fair amount of business passing for nearly all the export markets, and the downward movement in prices has been forcibly checked, even where no advance has taken place. In some cases there is a positive increase in the quotations. Shirtings for the Eastern trade have decidedly improved in value since the beginning of the week. In yarns there is a manifest accession of confidence in the prevail ing feeling. There continues to be a fair demand for India and China, and a considerable trade is doing also for Germany and the Levant. The prices of yarns generally show a hardening tendency, and in many cases the rates demanded are 1-d. per lb. higher than those of Tuesday last. The home trade remains comparatively inactive, but there is good ground for hoping that the mark et generally has entered on a period of more animation than has been witnessed for some weeks past.

STAINTON V. THE CXRILON COMPANY. His Honour the Master of the Rolls was of opinion that the compromise entered into by the parties in this snit did not prevent the Carron Company from taking accounts against the late Mr. Henry Stainton, their manager in London, from the commencement of his employment in 1808, to his death, and not from June 30, 1825, as ordered under the decree of this court. His Honour, after refereing to the facts of the case, made an order to this effect. That notwithstanding any compromise, decrees or orders of Court in this suit, the Carron Company shall be at liberty to surcharge or falsify any accounts of Mr. H. Stainton, as their manager, from the time he entered into their employ ment to the time of his death. That due notice shall be given of particular items to be vouched, and order £229,000 to be paid into this Court (Zl5O received under the compro mise, and also that both parties shall concur in suc'a acts as may be necessary to obtain the transfer of £59,000 in the Royal Bank of Scotland to the credit of this cause in. this Court). Grant an injunction to restrain proceedings in the action between the parties (in the Court of Session, Scotland). Accounts to be taken before his Honour at chambers, a dis tinction being made as to periodical vouchers between the first and subsequent periods of twenty years to the final close of the accounts, with liberty to aprly. After making a few observations on the claims of the defendants under tbo former decree, his Honour granted liberty to loth parties to appeal to a higher tribunal against this decree on the express understanding that no objections would be made to the decree on the ground that it was obtained under this motion. • CIIILD V. MILD. His Honour said—l am of opinion I cannot give the plaintiff costs of the affidavits, only costs in the cause. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day„) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WHOLESALE ROBBERY OF BOOTS AND SHOES )317 A SnormAN.—Thomas Wyburn, shopman to Mr. John Butler, boot and shoemaker, of 100, Tottenham-court-road, was charged before Mr. Bingham with plundering his master to a large amount of boots and shoes, a consideralle quantity of which were produced in court by Lambert, 6S E. Lambert, 68 E, said in consequence of information he received he went to Mr. Butler's, 100, Tottenham-cotert road, at seven the previous evening. He saw the prisoner and told him he was a police officer, that he had received information that he had been robbing his master for a bong time, and that he had a great deal of property at his lodg ings, which he denied. He then told him that he should go and see, and the prisoner then said, " I've two or thre e pairs there belonging to my master." He asked the prs - if he lived at 16, Warren-street, and he replied that la e did, and, on his proceeding there, accompanied by Mir. Butler, he found in the prisoner's room 22 pairs of women:'s boots, 24 pairs of children's boots, 9 pairs of shoes, 4 pains of goloshes, and about 601bs. of leather. (A sample of th e property was produced.) Mr. John Butler, boot and shoemaker, of 100, Totten - ham-court-road, said the prisoner had been in his employ, as shopman, six or seven years or more, in one of his shop:. He had been missing property of late. He accon - ipanie d on the previous night the officer to 16, Warren-street, the prisoner's lodging, and saw the officer find property, which he was able to identify, to the amount of £4O at least. Mr. Bingham, after the usual caution, asked the prisoner whether he wished to say anything ; aad, on his reply ing in the negative, he was committed for trial. THAMES. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK.—Samuel Bucknall, a young man of respectable exterior, was brought before 3 Cr. Selfe charged with embezzling £8 93. 3d., and other su:m.s he had received for and on account of his employers. The prisoner had been for many years employed at Cie goods station of the North Western Railway, in Heyde:2- square, Minories, and had been advanced from a suborcli nate position to the office of clerk. Ile absconded a few weeks ago, and went to Bristol, and it was then found the t several sums he had received were not accounted for, awl that he had appropriated them to his own use. The pri soner wrote a letter to the principals of the firm acknow ledging his defalcations, and came back to London, and was apprehended. One case only was gone into, and the pri soner was remanded for the production of further evidence. THIS DA rs MARKETS. COVENT-GARDEN.

An unfortunate accident occurred off the Plat form Battery at Portsmouth yesterday, to the corn , mander's galley of her Majesty's ship Firebrand, - lying at Spithead, which caused the loss of five I lives. Between one and two p.m., the galley, with her usual crew, six in number, and a stoker who had obtained leave to go on shore to see his wife, was despatched from the ship to the shore, for the purpose of bringing off Commander Bruce, who was on shore receiving his orders. It h a d been blowing heavily all day from the south-west, with a good deal of sea at times. In the harbour chan nel, where the ebb had made out strong at the time the boat left the vessel for the shore, there was a heavy sea caused by the meeting of the tide and wind. As soon as the boat, under a lug sail, got . into this broken water, she buried her bow in the trough of the sea, and was prevented rising again by the top of the sea having hold of her stern, which-at once caused her to broach and capsize. The men clung to the kcal, and the boat turned over again, the coxswain get ting into her, and another man (Rogers) clinging to the oppoSite gunwale. The remainder of crew appear to have had hold - of the boat, but dropped off one by one from exhaustion and the heavy sea with the strong ebb before aid could reach them. As soon as the accident occurred, several boats put off from the shore to their assist. ante, but were unable to reach them quickly,owin ,, to the strong breeze blowing on the shore and the heavy sea. Fortunately, however, the master of a steam-tug (W. Chambers) in the harbour be longing to Messrs. Smith the contractors, wit nessed the accident, and, hastening on board his vessel, which was lying inside with her steam up, he steamed out to the scene of the accident with a boat in tow, and placing his steamer to windward of the capsized boat, found he was in time to rescue two of the men ; the remainder of the crew, with the stoker, who was coming ashore on leave, were no where to be seen. As the men were much exhausted, Chambers, as soon as ho had got them on board, steamed alongside her Majesty's ship Britannia (which had despatched one of her cutters to the men's assistance), where the poor fellows were taken on board and received the necessary atten tion. The two men saved are Henry Jones, coxswain, and George Rogers, ordinary seaman. The following are the names of the men who are lost :—Peter Crofts, A. 8., E. Evrington, A. 8., W. ' Woonton, or Wilton, A. 8., and John Rule, ordinary seaman, boat's crew ; and John Grant, stoker. The foul weather flag, a blue and white triangular one, was flying from the staff of the Semaphore in the dockyard when the boat was despatched from the Firebrand and when the accident occurred, and as this flag denotes that" no communication is to take place between the men-of-war at Spithead and the shore by boats during the time the signal is kept flying," it is difficult to imagine how the boat came to be sent on shore in defiance of the signal plainly visible from the tower of Semaphore. We are in formed this is the second time that Chambers, the master of the tug, has succeeded in saving human life by his promptness when other means, as in this case, must have been unavailable. TERRIBLE BO A7' ACCIDENT.-LOSS 01 FOUR LIVES. WORCESTER, FRIDAY.—An accident, if it can be so designated, happened here this morning, which has caused much excitement in the city, and given rise to some conjectures and perhaps hasty judg ments. It should be explained that the Worcester and Hereford Railway has been opened some months for passenger traffic from the west bank of the Severn to Malvern about eight miles, but that at present the bridge over the Severn has not been passed by the Government inspector of railways, who does not consider it sufficiently strong for. the purpoK. In order to strengthen it the engineer has caused to be placed six tiers of massive wooden piles or sup ports, three under each of the two arches. These piers or pillars arc a considerable obstruction to the traffic on the river, which is carried on in canal boats and barges, there being just room enough for the largest class of barges to pass through the inter vening spaces of clear water between the piers or abutments. This obstruction has led to a most serious calamity, causing the death of four persons, an imperiling the lives of three others. This morning, as the canal-boat Lady Wood was bringing down a cargo of coal from Staffordshire, in passing under the bridge the vessel fouled the piles, throwing her out of her course, and almost immediately capsizing her. At the time there, were seven persons on board, viz., the captain, named Whitehouse, his wife, three children, and a sister of Mrs. Whitehouse, and a boatman named Causer. The captain was steering, the children were in the cabin. Mrs. Whitehouse was washing in the hatchway, and Causer was rowing. Whitehouse contrived to hold on by the piles, and seizing his wife by the hair of her head held her suspended until a boat came out to their assistance. Causer swam ashore, but the three children and Mrs. Whitehouse's sister, aged 15, were all drowned. Three of the children's bodies have been recovered, one of them having floated a distance of nearly a mile. The parents of the children, who saw them drowned before their eyes, are in a dreadfully dis tracted state, and refuse to be comforted. The boat is sunk in mid channel, and offers an additional obstruction to the traffic. An inquest is to be held on the bodies, at which he most searching examination will take place. TIIE BU.R.RADON COLLIERY EXPLO- SION. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, FRIDAY. The coroner for South:Northumberland resumed. the inquiry at Burradon yesterday, into the cir cumstances of the explosion in the pit there, by which 76 persons were killed, on the 2d of March. There was a croweed attendance, as at all the for mer sittings of the court. William 'Williams, a hewer, who had wrought in a board at the face of the coal, on the morning of the explosion, and who was succeeded by Maddox, at whose light the pit subsequently fired and killed the men and lads, was called, and in consequence of some information that he had received, re-exa mined by the coroner. The witness said that while employed in his board on the morning of the explosion, two small blowers or bags of gas came away from the coal and fired at his light, and that he was afraid ; but that when Maddox came to relic:Ye him at nine in the morning he did not speak to him about it, nor did he mention the circumstance to any of the officials of the pit. The coroner was proceeding to remark on the shocking conduct of the witness in leaving .130 men and lads to their fate, without thinking it proper to make it known to the deputy or under viewer, or even to the men about the pit, that two blowers had fired at his board, when he replied that the deputy and under-viewer knew as well as him. _ _ The inquest has been adjourned for a fortnight. It is said that the parties who have lately been in communication with the Turkish Government on the subject of a new loan contemplated an attempt to raise a net sum of £5,000,000 by a six per cent. steck at 55. All negotiations of the kind are now, however, alleged to have terminated. The next issue of Victoria Six per Cent. Deben tures is still expected to take place about the 15,11 of April, but the precise day will probably not be named until after the arrival of th e nex t Australian mail. Th e question whether the £3,000,000 s h ou ld . be offered at once or be divided, half being put forth now and the remaining half six months hence, will most likely be determined by the advices then to be received. It is stated that the submarine cable between Batavia and Singapore has again broken. The Champion of the Seas has arrived from Mel bourne with 44,020 ounces of gold, worth about £170,000. The Euxine, from the Peninsula, has brought 20,035 oz. PASSENGERS FROM BOMBAY. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Delta, Captain Black, which is expected at Southampton on Sunday or Monday, with the heavy portion of the Bombay mails, brings the following passengers from Bombay •—Colonel the Hon. C. D. Plunkett, Captain and Mrs. Schreiber and servant, Miss Penny and servant, Mrs. Dann and two children, Mrs. Atkinson, infant, and servant ; Mrs. Mason, Rey. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison and two children, Rev. Mr. Farrer, Mrs. Rance and child, Dr. Arden, Mr. Dover, Mr. Bates, Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Young, three children, and servant ; Mrs. Guerin, Miss Atkinson, Mrs. Swaffield, and Mr. Croughan. THE INDIAN DUTY ON YARNS.—The directors of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, at a recent meet ing, passed a resolution strongly condemning the increased rate of duty on yarns, proposed by Mr. Wilson as part of his system of Indian finance. They have also requested an interview with Sir C. Wood, the Secretary of State for India, for the purpose of expressing to him their opinions on the subject, and we are informed that Sir C. Wood has appointed to receive a deputation from the Chamber on Tuesday next. MINISTERIAL CHANGES IN RUSSIA.—Under this heading, the Daily News says--The appointment 7tth o e f Count Panine, Ministe r o f J us ti ce , t o the Presidency Commission for the Eman c ip a ti on of the Peasantry, is re garded by the Liberal pa r ty as an omen of a serious changeinere of policy on the part of the Emperor. Count presents the absolutist and oligarchical party,. and his se lection is considered to forebode a return totlle systep of the Emperor Nicholas. The sudd en " indisposition of Prince Gortschakoff, rendering probable his retirement from the Ministry of Foreign .Affairs, would appear t o herald a reconciliation With Austria. THE CAFES-CONCERTS IN PARIS.—The Mi ne et Gazette des Thdatr es sa y s :—" The attention of th e Minister of State has for some time past been attracted.to the encroachments of the cafes-concerts in Paris. At first these establishments confined themselves to causing per formers to sing detached airs ; they then gave duos, then trios, and then, little by little, entire scenes. The singers, too, who at first figured only in plain clothes, afterwards d in costume; and eventually appeareentire operettas were executed. In this manner more than one cap became a veritable theatre, in spite of the formal directions of the authoritim fIE NAVY. Capt. W. H.

In the month of April of last year, a man named Hall, residing at Canterbury, gave shelter for the night to a travelling woman and child of tender years, the woman pleading great distress, and that she had no means of obtaining a lodging. The next morning, at an early hour, Hall went to work, and on returning to his breakfast, found that the woman lie had befriended had taken her departure with her child, and also his (Hall's) daughter, six years of age. Every endeavour was made ,by the police authorities to trace the whereabouts of the woman and lost child, but without success .A few days ago, however, a woman with two children, aged respec tively seven and two years, became chargeable to the parish at Brighton, the woman being near her confinement. The authorities questioned the woman as to her place of settlement, but could obtain no satisfactory explanation. The girl, however, when questioned, clearly gave them to understand that the woman was not her mother, but that the woman who had given the name of Priscilla Frank lin, had taken her from her father's house, and that her name was Hall. The woman, on hearing this, did not attempt a denial, and said she had married the son of George Hall, of Church-lane, Canter bury, but added she was unaware where the hus band was to be found. The parish authorities of Brighton, acting upon this information, at once wrote to Canterbury, and on Mr. Superintendent Hall, Clements being communicated with by he (th e once a s t o a concluded w a t s h a t t h t a h t e w e h h t i l o d h , s w u l p io er w in a t s e n d d e s e c n r t i ) b e a d t had so long been lost. Inspector Dodd was accord ingly despatched to Brighton,a s one whe of the re the i m mediately identified him Canter bury police, and gave her o n f am an e d E ha li s za no H w a b ll e . en S r h e e . s was tore a d t toonhceertaaknexn chargeious father; and from the state ment she makes it appears, that the woman had been travelling with her and the other child throughout the country as beggars, sometimes sleeping at the different union houses, and at other times sleeping in the open air. The child also states that she had often been severely beaten by the woman when she was unsuccessful in obtaining money, and that it was through fear she had not before told any one that she had been taken frem her home. The heartless woman who has acted in so cruel a manner has since been delivered of a child at Brighton, and as soon as she is sufficiently re covered will be prosecuted for the offence of child stealing. THE CASE OF THE REV. JAMES BONWELL.—Sur prise: has been expressed in connexion with the abandon ment, or at all events suspension of the proceedings against the Rev. James Bonwell, the rector of St. Philip's Church, Stepney, against whom some time since the Bishop of Lon don issued a commission. The commission reported that there were prima facie grounds for further proceedings, but were puzzled to prove that actual adultery had been corn.. mitted within the diocese of London, over which alone the Bishop's power extends. Several weeks have elapsed, and the Bishop has taken no step to prosecute Mr. Bonwell ; meanwhile the rev. gentleman continues to be rector of St. Philip's district, although he doo 119 t at MOW 9fficiate, I .
