WEEKLY SCIENTIFIC NEWSPAPER- On the 31st December, 1858, will be published No. 1 (NEW SERIES) OF T HE - MECHANICS' MAGAZINE, AND JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING, AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY, MANUFACTURES, AND SHIPBUILDING. The " MECHANICS' MAGAZINE," haying flourished thirty five yeirs in its present form, is about to be greatly enlarged and improved—to be made, in fact, a first-class Stientific Newspaper, well edited, carefully illustrated, and in every re spect worthy of the great objects to which it is deioted. The Magazine iu its new character will receive the ex tended title given above, and the aim of the Editors will be to give it a definite and special value in each of those branches of Mechanical Science which its title indicates. The reputation of the Magazine as an Engineering Journal is made already, but they hope to considerably extend and consolidate it. The time for great improvements in Agricultural Ma chinery has manifestly arrived, and their desire will be to lay before Agriculturists full detailed descriptions of all really valuable Implements as they are from time to time ages in troduced, so that Farmers and othe rs may find in its p exact and reliable accounts of those improvements which journalists are usually content to gossip about. Of much that relates to new and improied Manufactures they firmly hope to be the heralds. In connection with Shipbuilding—an art which, except in their pages, has been much neglected- they confidently assume the foremost place, and have made arrangements for presenting their readers with a series of sound original ar ticles upon the subject, and with regular intelligence of its progress. In addition to the foregoing, they will publish Reports of the Proceedings of Scientific Societies, and such other infor mation as properly belongs to a Scientific Newspaper. The splendid part played by Inventors of every lass in this ' country, under the protection of the Patent Laws, will also be duly regarded in their columns, in which complete and Lists and Descriptions of all Patents applied for, granted, ex tended, will be recorded trom week to w eek, together with Lists of all Articles protected under the Designs' Acts. No pains will be spared to render this part of their Magazine as full and reliable, if possible, as the Government Records themselves. They Have therefore guarded, and still hope to guard, the privileges of Inventors against both open and covert attacks ; and every Inventor may, if he please, find in their pages a channel for every reasonable complaint and every sensible suggestion. The "MECHANICS' MAGAZINE" will resemble the " Athe nwum" in form and size, and the Advertisement Departnrent will afford an excellent medium for the advertisements of En gineers, Tool Makers, Agricultural Implement Makers, the sale of all classes of Machinery, Ship Fittings, Philosophical .Apparatus, and for all announce ments relatin g to Scientific "rooks, Sales by Contract, Situations Vacant, &c., &c Published by Robertson, Broomall, and Co., "Mechanics' Magazine" and Patent Offices, 1011,.

At the Mansion-house yesterday, Lieutenan t Higginson, whose name a few weeks ago was pro minently . before the public in con se q uence of seve ral applications which he made before Mr. Alder man Salomons, at Guildhall, for a summons against the directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, whom he charged with deceiving and robbing the public, appeared to answer the charge of having assaulted the worthy alderman in the public street. The case was heard before Sir R. W. Carden, the bench as well as the whole court being occupied by most influential and respectable persons, many of them personal friends of the complainant. Mr. Roy attended on part of the complainant. The defendant, who is gifted with an extraor dinary flow of language, and who took copious notes of the proceedings in shorthand, stood at the clerk's table. He wore on his breast a silver medal, which had been presented to him for having been engaged in the capture of the French frigate Clo rinde, by the Eurota, on the 25th of Feb., 1811. Mr. Roy said that on the 15th of Oct. last the defendant applied at Guildhall, where Mr. Alder-, man Salomons was the sitting magistrate, for a summons against the company. Sir R. W. Carden (interrupting) —I do not think we have anything to do withthat ; we have nothing to do except with the case of assault. Mr. Roy—When you hear all the facts — Sir R. WV. Carden—l have nothing to do with any facts relating to any other transaction. The defendant is here charged with an assault. Defendant —In connection with the proceedings of the Atlantic Telegraph Company. Sir R. W. Carden—The defendant is here on a charge of assault, and I do not want other questions to be opened. Mr. Roy—A summons was applied for by the defendant against a company of great respectability who were standing forward almost as a national company in the attempt to connect the two coun tries by means of the Atlantic cable. Upon that occasion the worthy alderman asked — Sir R. W. Carden—That is exactly what I want to avoid. I do not want to enter into what has previously taken place. This is a case by itself. Here is a charge of assault preferred against a gen tleman ; I must hear that. With what previously occurred I have nothing whatever to do. Defendant—l justify the assault on that account. Sir It. W. Carden If you open that you open the whole proceedings. Defendant—l request that the whole proceedings may be fully gone into. Mr. Roy—l only want to address to you a few preliminary observations, in order that the matter may be perfectly intelligible. When the applica tion was made the worthy alderman requested that the company should have notice of it. The com pany had notice ; they attended the next day, and showed clearly that the information filed against them had no grounds whatever, inasmuch as they were relieved from theoperation of the Joint Stock • C o Sirm p R anie l s v A . C c t. a rden—l have nothing whatever to do with that. r e g q le u v e o s . f t e assault.a o r du Carden--I that a s h—a a t I British m justify Defendant—l hope everything will be listen ed previously hhereto r e m tt oh a gpei perform el r l oeargtneei, occurred.nit assaultd o he r ttbohyes circumstancesic r l h B a r in the way I think best. It is a charge of ayssdauutlty.. Defendant—Yes, sir ; but that is in consequence of the very thing which this gentleman has been stating. Will you allow me respectfully to ask a question ? Sir R. W. Carden—Let me see what the charge im. Mr. Goodman, chief clerk--The charge entered on the sheet is assaulting the complainant in Bar tholomew -lane. Sir R. W. Carden—That is the charge, and I will hear nothing except with reference to that charge. Defendallt—Will you permit me most respect fully to ask you a question ? Sir R. W. Carden—Yes. Defendant —I beg to ask if you are a shareholder in the Atlantic Telegraph Company ; because if you are I object to your jurisdiction. si r B. W. Carden—l am not. I never have been, and never intend to be, if that is any satisfaction to you. Defendant —That is satisfactory to me. Mr. Roy—The question is whether what tock place was the mere impulse - of the moment, or whether it was a premeditated assault. • - Defendant —Exactly so. . Mr. Rov-: , -Upon the matter being put as I have stated at Guildhall, a sumnions W 3,3 not granted. From that time to the prcsetrt defendant has been pursuing a course of communication with Mr. Al derman Salomons, who, with his usual courtesy, has regularly replied to his letters, and who con sidered that he had given every explanation which one gentleina:n - ought - to give another .filling the position of ,Lieutenant Higginson. To Mr. Alderman- Salomen's surprise, upon walking out of the London and 'Westminster Bank yesterday; the defendant addressed him and asked hint if his name was Mr. Alderman Salomons. Upon being told that it was, he said, " You haveaccused me of being. a madman?' :-“No," said Mr. Alderman Salonions, "I have not. I consider you are acting under de lusions." The defendant retorted, " What do you mean by acting under delusions ?" Mr. Alderman Salomons said, " - You -are acting under impressions which are not correct." Mr. Alderman, Salomons, who was accompanied- by his brother-in-law, Mr. Cohen, ha - d not proceeded very far when the de fendant placed - himself in front of him; and in a threatening _attitude, with a stick in , his hand, stretched out his handto commit some personal vio lence' and he then applied the stick. Mr. Cohen immediately rushed forward, seized the _defendant, pinned-him to a wall, and a crowd collected, Mr. Alderman-Salomons all this while -remaining quiet, satisfied that however much Mr. Higginson might believe he was sane himself, he was actually then, as he was throughout all this proceeding, suffering from delusions, which I will prove. He said that the- Atlantic Telegraph Company had bought - up a . book and siippressed it for £l,OOO. I have the com pany' hem to say that they never gave the publisher' £1,060 for the piireliase erhis'book. It is monstrous that a gentleman cannot walk about the public streets without molestation of this description, after he has acted- in his magisterial capacity. The de fendant has a notion that the Atlantic Telegraph is a mere farce and bubble ; that a weight can go no further down in the sea— Sir R. W. Carden—l have nothing to do with that. Mr. Roy—The defendant states that the cable can only go down 20 or a certain number of fathonis, whdn the water is so dense that it supports it. He is going - against the common stream of intelligence , and therefore you cannot imagine that he can be a sane person. Ido not treat this as a common as, sault, but call upon you to protect the public from the acts of a man who is labouring under this one delusion, however, sane he may be with respect -to all other matters. Sir R. W. Carden—Let us now have the evidence, and any further observations you may think it ne cessary to make can follow afterwards. De enclant—Do pray let the learned gentleman go on, because all this is of vital importance to me, I assure you. Sir R. W. Carden—l do not wish to enter into this. Defendant--This gentleman has imputed to me insanity, and it is necessary that all these thingl should be gone into. lam perfectly sure that you, as the presiding magistrate, will take care of my interests. Mr. Alderman Salomons was then sworn, and said—l am an alderman of the City of London, and reside at Tonbridge Wells. Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, I left the London and Westminster Bank for the purpose ,of proceeding by train to Tonbridge Wells. As I crossed from Lothbury to Bartholomew-lane a person accosted me and said, " Are you Alderman Salomons?" I said I was. I looked at the gentleman and said, " Are you Lieut. Higginson ?" He replied, " Surely you remember me ?" I did not at the moment, and I said " No." He then said, " You say I am a madman." I replied " No, I never did to knowledge, but I have said you are under delusions." Upon which he said, " What do you mean by delusions ?" I said, " I don't know exactly, you must put your own inter pretation upon it," or words to that effect. My brother-in-law, Mr. 'Cohen, was on one side of me, and the defendant, who was on the other; rushed in front of me, and tried to take hold of my nose. I raised my arm. I then saw him raises stick, which I had not seen before, and he attempted violently to strike me with it. Mr. Cohen threw himself round the _defendant and pinned him against the wall, and a crowd collected. I desired he should be held till an officer could take charge of him. Defendant was rather violent in his language to Mr. Cohen. A gentleman of thanatne.sofeMill,- - wksm I had not before the pleasure of knowing, said he witnessed the assault. To the best of my . recollection I never uttered one word of an offensive character to the lieutenant, because I pity him and believe him to be subject to a delusion. An officer arrived and took charge of the lieutenant, and I accompanied them to the Bow-lane station and made the charge. Itiug gested that they might take the lieutenant's own re cognisances to appear to-day. I never saw the lieutenant since I saw him at the Guildhall till yesterday. I have received letters from him which were answered, it being my invariable custom to reply to all communications, whether from the highest or the poorest, either by myself or through my secretary. (Applause.) Sir R. W. Carden—Lieut. Higginson, do vou wish to put any question in cross-examination ?. Defendant—Oh yes, sir; a good many. (To Alderman Salomons.) Did I inquire why, having chosen to adjudicate at Guildhall in your own case as an admitted partner in the Atlantic Telegraph Company, you had debased and perverted the judg ment seat on the succeeding day by having Alder man Rose as the second sitting magistrate, under the pretence that he was impartial and disinterested, when in fact he was likewise an active shareholder in the Atlantic Telegraph Company ? Sir R. W. Carden—You must put your questions in conformity with law. Defendant—l am doing so. Mr. Goodman—l can take down nothing that is irrelevant to the charge before the court. J)efendant—l assure you I wish to be m ost re spectful, but if you will not allow my questions to be put and answered I don't know how I am to proceed. Is that question to be put down ? Sir R. W. Carden—lt is not usual for a defend ant, to ask whether questions can be put down or not. Defendant—But I want some record of these questions and answers. Sir R. W. Carden—You may put any question you like, and the clerk will take down what he considers relevant. Defendant --I insist upon being heard in my de fence. I insist respectfully upon justice being done to me. Sir R. W. Carden.--I never allow any defendant to insist upon h avin g j u stice done to him in his own way. Defendants --I will, have my questions put down. Sir It, W. C arden— There shall be put down what I like. We have only one mode of doing business here. Defendant (to Mr. Alderman Salomons)—Will you swear that I did not make use of words to that effect ? Mr. Alderman Salornons—l will. Defendant —Did I say that such a dishonest packing of the bench was a disgrace to the judicial integrity of the City magistracy? Mr. Alderman Salomons—Nothing whatever passed from the time I met you till you were given into custody except that which I have stated. Defendant —My course is to justify what has °c oined. Sir R. W. Carden—Nothing in the eye of the law justifies an assault. You may state extenuating but nothin g can circumstances,-Justify a man tak ing the law into his Own hands; therefore, suppos ing a ll you state to be true, you are not justified in committing an assault. Defendant --I am not attempting to advocate my cause after the decision at which you have arrived not to allow me to put my questions. My object is to get you to send this case to the sessions, where I shall have an opportunity of getting it properly adjudicated upon. -- Sir R. W. Carden—lf I cannot keep you in order I shall adjudicate upon it. Defendant —The complainant has deposed to something before you, and I wish to cross-examine him upon that statement. Surely lam eiajed in common justice to . that. This gentleman as de posed to a certain.fact, I want to cross-examine him for the purpose of testing the truth and accuracy of his statement. I should be very sorry indeed to give you any offence, but I must mainta in my posi tion. I merely want the truth to be arrived at and understood. Sir It. W. Carden—Any other question ? Defendant--Oh yes. Sir R. W. Carden—The assault has been proved. I have told you before that nothing justifies an assault. you. Defendant—l want to lay the fact s before Sir R. W. Carden—Do you desire this case to go to the sessions ? Defendant—Yes. • crinson I must Sir It. W. Carden—Lieut. bind you over in your own recognisances in £lOO, party Mr. Edlin prosecuted, and Mr. Cole defended. It appeared that the prisoner was a coal and timber dealer. Some time in the early part of this Year he gotinto difficulties, and made an assign ment by deed of all his goods,and effects and book debts, and it was alleged that he had received the two sums after the execution of the deed, being moneys which had been debts due to him before the execution of the deed, and it was then alleged that he had not accounted for those sums. After the prisoner had executed the deed, he had been employed by the trustees at a salary to conduct the business for the benefit of the trustees. Mr. Edlin having opened the Mr. Justice Byles suggested that there was a difficulty in the way of the prosecutioh ; he there fore thought the best course would be that the legal matter should be discussed before the merits of the case were entered upon. Mr. Cole then submitted that, as in point of law the debts due to the - prisoner before the assignment being choses in action, could not be assigned in law but in equity. The moment he received the money he was, in fact, receiving his own money, and he could not be indicted for embezzling it. Mr. Edlin submitted that on the receipt of the money it became the money of the trustees under the deed, therefore the prisoner was rightly indicted for embezzling it. Mr. Cole urged that, unless the money could be ear-marked, he could not be indicted for receiving it ; and, if ear-marked, it was the debt assigned, and so could not be assigned at law, but only in equity. Mr. Justice Byles said the difficulty was to make out that, in point of law, the prisoner was a clerk, or servant, or acting in the capacity of a servant, within the meaning of the statute. It was clear that these debts were not assignable in law ; they were choses in action, and the deed would only bind him in equity. The moment he received these moneys they were his own moneys—he received what, in point of law, was his own money. How, then, could he be held liable for embezzling ; or how could he be said to be clerk or servant to the trustees? He could not, in point of law, pass the property in the debts due to lira before the deed was executed. His assignees were only equitable assignees ; they could only sue in his name. The deed could only pass that which he actually had in his possession at the time the deed was executed. Under these circumstances the indictment could not be sustained. The prisoner was, therefore, acquitted. THURSDAY, DEC. 23. The same prisoner was then indicted for embez zling a bill of exchange. The same counsel were engaged as in the pre ceding, case. Mr. Edlin said, that after what his lordship had said yesterday, he had given the case the greatest consideration, and he, therefore, thought it right not to offer any evidence, his friend agreeing that the bill should he given up. The Judge said he could not be a party to any arrangement. Mr. Cole said he should submit that the prisoner had not committed any offence ; for the bill was not endorsed. A great deal of odium had been cast upon the prisoner, which he wished to explain. The Judge said, in his opinion the prisoner was no more entitled to the property than he was. The only question was, whether he had brought himself within the statute ; he thought he had not. If the prisoner had been convicted he should have reserved the point, which would have entailed great expense on the prosecution. It was quite clear that the prisoner was neither a clerk nor servant within the meaning of this act of Parliament. As no evidence was offered, the prisoner would be acquitted. Verdict, not guilty. Several prisoners pleaded guilty. This circuit will close to-day. THE MAN WITH SIX WIVES. At the Clerkenwell police court yesterday Glou cester Gale, 32, a collector of rents, residing at 5, Brook-green terrace, Hammersmith, was placed at the bar on remand before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with feloniously intermarrying with Celia Maria Wye, his wife Eliza Cecilia being then and still alive. Mr. H. W. Cattlin attended to prosecute on behalf of the Associate Institution for the Protec- tion of Women. Mr. Tyrwhitt should like to know how it was that the case was brought before him ? Constable Green said that the prisoner was taken to Vine-street, and from thence to Marlborough street, where it was proposed to go into two mar riages, one at St. George's, Hanover-square, and the other at All Souls', Langham-place. None of the facts were gone into at that court, as it was found that the first illegal marriage took place in Islington. Mr. Tyrwhitt could not see why the case was sent from Marlborough-street, considering that Clerkenwell had plenty of business of its own. Mr. Cattlin opened the case, and stated that the matter was first brought under the notice of the Lord Mayor by Mr. E. H. Coleman, clerk to the registrar of seamen, who stated that numerous inquiries had been made at his office for a person describing himself as a master of a merchant ship. The result of that application was, that the matter was placed in the hands of the City police, and although the prisoner managed for a length of time to evade their vigilance, he was apprehended on Sunday last . by Inspector Leonard and detective constable Green. Too much praise could not be awarded to the officers for the assiduity they had displayed in apprehending the prisoner, and to Mr. Coleman thanks were due for the active part he had aken in the matter. It appeared that about ten years ago the prisoner married his cousin Cecilia Gee, but about two years since he became less attentive to her, and left his home. In consequence of the exposure in the press of Mr. Coleman's appli cation to the Lord Mayor several females called at Mr. Coleman's and stated that they had been mar ried to the prisoner, and he, with the assistance of Mr. Inspector Leonard and Green, the detective officer, after several months oftinsuccessful inquiries, apprehended the prisoner on Sunday morning last at the residence of the second wife, Marble-hall, Eghain. This was the lady who had the money, and which thb prisoner hairused for so bad a pur pose. When the prisoner was apprehended his second wife was at church, but he left her a letter, of which th e followin g is a. copy,—" My sins have overtaken me at last, sak a goo wod for me." Xfter going at some leng speak into the d case r Mr. Cattlin called Mrs. Rowena Pearce, who stated that she was the sister of the prisoner. She was present at Turnham Green Church when her brother was married to Miss Gee. She saw her alive at her mother's last week. Celia Maria Wye said she lived at Marble-hall, Egham-hill, Surrey. She was married to the prisoner at Islington Church on the 30th Nov., 1857. The prisoner married her in the name of George Gore. Lydia Birch stated that she was married to the prisoner, who went by the name of George Thomas, at Trinity Church, Chelsea, on the 3d Jan. this year. He left in Feb., pretending to go a voyage. She then saw him in April, after he had taken apart ments, and sent for her from the country. After OMNIBUS .RIVALRY. . Yesterday, at the Westminster Police-court, this case, the most, extraordinary ever placed before a police magistrate, in which the Metropolitan Saloon 'Company" charged the London General .Omnibus Company with conspiring to ruin them, was unexpectedly brought to a close. Mr. Edwards said he had to make an application to the magistrate.; Some overtures had been made to carry out the kind suggestions of Mr. Paynter for an arrangement, and he would therefore take the liberty of requesting an adjournment for half an hour. The solititors - on either side, accompanied by two or three gentlemen, retired, and were absent for an hour. - ' • On their return, Mr. Edwards said he was happy to inform the magistrate that an arrangement had been come to to submit all the matters in dispute to arbitration. Mr. Stammers objected to concur in any such arrangement. His client, Mr. Hawkins, had been falsely' charged with divers acts, and he (Mr. Stammers) must request that the investigation might be continued, or that he should be formally discharged. Besides the present proceedings, three actions had been brought against him for libel, one of which had failed. Mr. Paynter intimated that he must treat him the same as the other defendants. If he had a good defence with regard to the libels, he had nothing to apprehend. The libels would be tried elsewhere. Mr. Stammers urged that his client was then in the position of a prisoner, and ought to be dis charged. He was fully prepared to answer the monstrous charge that had been made against him, and therefore thought it ought to be fully investi gated, or that he should be discharged from all liabilities. Mr. Edwards observed that his friend might take any course he chose. Mr. Sleigh remarked on behalf of Mr. Hartley, who was a highly respectable man,that the charges against him of encouraging nursing and obstruct ing, were without the slightest found atiOn. in Bodkin, on the part of the counsel, said it was but justice to them to state that they had nothing to do with what was complained of. They had no power to control the management of the company. They were merely the auditors, and it was only fair to them to say that they were not parties to the subject of complaint. Mr. Paynter, who thought that the proceedings before him ought to take the form of an adjourn ment for a month, repeated that when the matter was referred to arbitration it would be advisable to prepare or recommend an act of Parliament. Mr. Giffardsaid that the London General Omni bus Company had previously to this determined to apply to the Legislature for an act to regulate the omnibus traffic of the metropolis. The parties then withdrew. The case stands adjourned for a month. SUPPOSED LOSS BY FIRE OF THE BRITISH SHIP NERO°. This fine ship is supposed to have been entirely destroyed by fire on the night of the 29th of last month, near the Cape Verd Islands, while on her homeward voyage from Calcutta with a valuable cargo. She left Calcutta for London on the 26th of August, and touched at St. Helena on the 9th of November, and resumed her voyage on the follow ing day. On the 29th a large ship was seen on fire in the track which the Memo would be in for England, and from the circumstance of the stern, partly burnt, bearing the letters " —Eltoo * LIVERP—" there is little doubt that she was the unfortunate ship seen on fire. Respecting the fate of the passengers, if any, much anxiety prevails. No tidings have been heard of them. The intelli gence was brought by the barque John Cobbold, Capt. Rendle, which arrived in the river yesterday from Point de Gallo. Capt. Rendle furnishes the following details : "Nov. 29, at half-past 9 o'clock p.m., wind mode rate from N.E., and the sea verysmooth, the second mate came and reported a light on the starboard bow, saying he thought it a ship's light, and that we appeared to near it, and that he had been watching it some time. Whereupon I went on deck, and after looking at it some minutes came to the conclusion that it was the rays of a star strik ing on a cloud near the horizon, causin g a reflection very like the reflection of a fire, or very brilliant light, on the sky. I thought it was from a star, because they were exceedingly brilliant between the clouds. I then went below and turned in. I had lain down but a very few minutes when the second mate came and told me we were coming up to the light very fast, saying it looked like a ship on fire. I jumped up and was on deck immediately, and on going a little up the rigging could very dis tinctly see the flames ascending. We were pressing on at the time with every sail we could crowd, and I hung out lights and made a great flaring torch out of an old tarpauling, and burnt that out to cheer the hearts of the poor sufferers, if any, with the sight of assistance close at hand. A little before midnight we hove to, with the burning ship in the wind's eye of us about three-quarters of a mile distant, showing lights, so that the crew might easily, and without any labour, come down. I kept in this position until daylight, when there was a ship and an Ame rican schooner to windward of the burning ship. As soon as the day broke the ship filled and went away. -The schooner sailed close round the burning ship, and then came down to inquire if I had picked the crew up, and to tell me what he had made out on her stern, and then proceeded on his voyage. A s soon as day began to break I mounted the topsail yard with my spyglass, and spent some time there, carefully examining the surface of the water and horizon all round, but could see nothing of any boats, and consequently can not say what became of the crew, but am of opinion they must have been taken off or picked up before I came up. I think so because they would use every exertion to keep as near the burning ship as possible, she making such a beacon as would call every ship that could get near her at night ; and for that reason I ran to leeward, so that if they were there ex hausted they could come to us without any labour. I next turned my attention to the ship (after satis fying myself they were not within my reach, and seen several ships and barques to leeward), and beat up to her, and at 8.30 a.m. passed round her within about 50 feet of her stern, on which the letters " —EROO,* LIVERP—," appeared, the other letters having been burnt out ; there had been space for one letter before the " E," certainly I think not more than two letters, and she evidently belonged to Liverpool. She was burnt down to the chain bolts at the fore, main, and mizen rigging on both sides ; also round the quarters she was much burnt, and the cargo was very unevenly burnt in the waist. The cargo was much consumed, and burnt very low. Across from the main rigging, one side to the other, there was a bulk rose very abruptly, which appeared very nearly as high as the deck could have been, which might have been cable chains,:and water tanks if secured there. instead of being subdued. In order to take her Oht of the line of traffic across the river, seine tug boats 'rot round her, and towed he-2 up the river as far as New Ferry,-where it was decided that an at tempt should be made to scuttle her. In the mean time the passengers, who, for the most part, were in their night clothes, were conveyed to the large shed on the great landing- stage. The boxes and luggage of these poor people being in the forepart of the vessel, where the fire is supposed to have ori ginated, arc all destroyed, and they are left destitute of everything but what they stood in. After the burning ship was brought as close to the shore as the state of the tide would permit, application was made to Capt..lMends, of her Majesty's ship Hastings, for the purpose of having the ship fired into, as the more speedy and effectual means of scuttling het= This was done and the vessel was soon sunk, but in such a position that at lOw water she will be high and dry. Accommodation will be provided for the destitute passengers until such time as another vessel can be got ready for them. The following letter respecting this unfortunate affair was read before the Mersey Dock Board yesterday : " Harbour-Master's Office,. Dec. 23. " Sir,—l beg to report that, at one o'elock this Morning, I was informed there was a vessel on fire in the river, below the Victoria Tower. On going to the landing•stage I found a steam-tug going to the vessel, and went on board her. The vessel on fire was the Isaac Wright, bound for New York. The steamer's hose was passed on board, and the force pump promptly set to work. About half-past four o'clock a steamer came alongside, with two fire engines and a staff of police, and were soon in action. About six o'clock, finding the fire was still raging in the hold, the cable was slipped, and at half-past six I left her with four steam-tugs. The pilot intended to take the vessel into Bootle Bay, ready for scuttling, should they not be able to extinguish the, fire with the engines.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, "T. HODGSON, Harbour-master. " Daniel Mason, Esq., Superintendent." REFORM MEETING IN L. A public meeting of the electors and non-electors of Leeds was held on Wednesday morning, in the Town Hall, Leeds. About 1,000 persons were pre sent. The meeting was called in accordance with a requisition, signed by 626 electors, for the purpose of considering the propriety of expressing . their opinions on the desirableness of reform in the representation of the people in the House of Com mons, and of petitioning Parliament in favour of such reform. The mayor (Sir P. Fairbairn) pre sided, and was supported by the leading members of the Reform Registration Association and a large body of the requisitioniks. Being in the position of returning officer for the borough, he felt a delicacy in giving an opinion on the question under consi deration, because there would doubtless be a new Parliament called during the ensuing year; and ho thought he should best discharge his duty, and most conscientiously, by abstaining from discussing the subject. His worship then read a letter from the Right Hon. M. T. Baines. The communication, dated from Lancaster, said that the hon. member • was glad to see that the Mayor had been requested to call a meeting by a requisition so numerously and respectably signed. It then added—" I hope you will permit me to express through you •my hearty concurrence - in the object of this meeting. The question of Parliamentary Reform is one which must receive the earliest consideration of the House of Commons. Two bills have been already announced and there may possibly be others. I presume these bills will be laid on the tables of the house imme diately, and consequently every member will have the opportunity of examining them, and of judging which bill is most deserving of the approbation of the Legislature. I can assure you that my own judgment will be fairly and conscientiously formed. (Hear.) In the meanwhile, I shall consider it a great advantage to know the views of my contit.u ents with regard to the principles on which a new Reform Bill should be framed ; and I need_ not assure you that I shall consider these views as entitled to my most earnest and respectful: attention. I will only say at present as to the principal question—that of the franchise—that I re tain the opinion I generally and repeatedly ex pressed at the' last election. There ought to be a large and liberal extension of the franchise. It is now more than a quarter of a century since the last Reform Bill was passed. Within that interval the progress of the people in knowledge has been wonderful and unprecedented. The franchise then given would be inferior, in my opinion, to what might now be safely granted, and be granted also with great advantage. (Hear.) Acting upon this view, I supported, last session, the bill of Mr. Locke King, and also a bill for the extension of the county franchise in Scotland. It is unfortunate, though true, that notwithstanding all the efforts made in progressive education and otherwise, there still remains a large class of our population wan- ho are lamentably ignorant . On this ground I c not support universal suffrage. There are other points to which it may be desirable to direct the attention of the legislature, and I now have to repeat that I shall be happy . to know the views of my constituents on the various points connected with this important question, and I will thank you (the mayor) to communicate to me a copy of the resolutions passed and the petition adopted." Sonie discussion took place as to the propriety of adjourn ing the meeting until the evening, for the conveni ence of the working classes, who could not attend in • any numbers a morning meeting. This was agreed to, and last evening was fixed , for the pur pose. 111 E GALWAY AND AMERICAN LINE OF PACKETS.
