FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. WAR IN THE EAST. OFFICAL RUSSIAN ACCOUNT WARSAW, JUNE 10 (22).—The rout of the Ottoman army has been so complete, and the pursuit confided to General Ccunt Pahlen executed with so much vigour, that, with the exception of some ca valry, who appear to have fallen back towards Aide s , the remains of this army have not been able to rally tiny where. The Grand Vizier had suc eeeded in getting into Shumla, accompanied by a keble escort of cavalry. Our parties of Cossacks twought in every moment fresh transports of pri soners,_ cannon, baggag e , an d co l ours , ta k en f rom the Turks in their flight. The number of cannon taken amounts already to nearly 60, and the loss of the enemrin killed is about 6,000 men. Ours was also considerable in the battle of the gOrit of May (11th June), and amounts to 1,400 killed, and 600 wounded, amongst whom are two Generals. A body of 1,500 horse, with infantry, having left Shumla, probably to watch our movements, lied oc cupied with the infantry and artillery two of tke redoubts which we had constructed last year. The cavalry had marched forward to cover them. Gen. Roth, who was proceeding to the village of Ma rascl,, having observed the cavalry, ordered forthwith General Prince Mendatoff to make a charge with 'erne squadrons of the hussars of Alexandria and Akhtyr, and six pieces of light artillery. This charge completely succeeded; the enemy was overthrown, and fell back with the loss of two standards. In the pursuit of this detachment, the General found himself under the fire of one ef the redoubts, but, immediately making a part of hi: hussars dismount, he Marchelat their head, and in a moment carried the redoubt, where the Turks left two cannon and btandards. The second redoubt was occupied by nearly 500 men, protected by a battery, which showered grape shot upon our troops. After having re-formed his detachment, and united ome companies of chiFsenrs and infantry, Prince Metubitoff ordered en attack with the bayonet, in stead of answering the fire of the Turkish musketry, and cnrried the redoubt. Five cannon and twelve standards were the riephies of this brilliant feat; but the exci:emcbt of the soldi , ,Ts was such that few rlisoners were taken. The enemy left near GOO dead on the spot, and we lost 100 in killed and I wounded. The Imperial army %vas full of ardour, notwith standing the fatigue of five consecutive forced marches, followed by a battle, which was disputed for some hours with the greatest fury. ELECTION OF FRANCIS JEFFREY, ESQ. AS DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF ADVOCATES. (From the Caledonian Mercury of Thursday.) Yesterday at two o'clock, the Faculty of Advo• rates met, pursuant to appointment, in the Court room of the Second Division, for the purpose of electing one of their number to fill the high and im• Lortant office of D ean , vacant b y t h e elevat i on of ord Moncreiff to the Bench. The meeting was taunt:ally full, the Court-room, both within and without the bar, being completely crowded. The Vice-Dean, Mr. Thomas Thompson, having taken the chair, the minutes of the previous meeting, em bodying Lord Moncreiff's letter of resignation, and the reply of the Dean's Council thereto, were read by the clerk ; after which the Solicitor-General, in aa speech distinguished alike for high feeling and just discrimination, proposed Francis Jeffrey, Esq. Ad vocate, as, in all respects, the most proper person to fill the vacant office. Mr. Cockburn, evidently under the influence of strong feeling, rose to second the Solicitor-General's motion. When Mr. Cockburn had concluded, the motion of the Solicitor-General was carried by acclamation; and Mr. Jeffrey took the chair amidst the hearty and honest cheers of his professional brethren. At this gratifying. moment, when the unanimous voice of those who had known him so long and so well placed_ him at their head, and greeted with the most cerdial . l4eclamations hi occupation of that chair which h'e'is so signally qualified to adorn, Mr. Jeffrey seemed to be struggling with almost overpowering emotion, and a few seconds elapsed before he was able to address the Faculty in the capacity of their newly appointed Dean. '1 his, however, he at length did, in a subdued tone, but with a felicity, graceful ness, and propriety altogether inimitable. With the Dean's address the business of the meeting ter minated, but numbers crowded around him to offer their felicitations on this truly interesting occasion.

To prevent any improper impression from a report in our Paper ckf Wednesday last of some proceedings befor e the VICE-CiLiNCELLOR, in a suit " AxnlJWs tt.

Whatever deity or difficulty there was arose o:dy t rthe mode of effecting the lease, with reference to a cen t] a.ctwhich (in the interval of upwards of thirty years ince the agreement with Mr. ANDREWS) had been en tered into with the Marylebone Vestry, and which con tract was made subject to the agreement with 31r.

PARIS, JULY I.—A letter from Constantinople, Of the Bth of June, says that M. de Royer, the Mi . , Mater from Prussia to the Porte, who left Naples with Mr. Gordon and Count Guilleminot, had al ready arrived in the capital of the Ottoman etuplre, and that the two other Ambassadors from whom lie had parted off the islarld of Andros, and who had sailed for Vouria, were expected at Constantinopl e the next day, or the day after. The journals of the south contain numerous de tails respecting the affairs of Catalonia. We extract the following : " PERPIGNAN, .I . t.i:s'E 22.—The arrests continue in Catalonia. The Count D'Espagne is gone from Olot to Campredon, and he is shortly expected at Puyeercla. His presence inspires terror wherever he goes. He is causing the citadel Figneries to be armed and provisioned, as if the enemy was at the gates of the place. lie does not permit any persons to enter, except those of chose fidelity lie is perfectly certain," A letter front the same town, of the 23d, says,— "We learn to-day, that affairs of the highest im portance summon Baron Romain to the French Cer &pc,. It is reported that he is to have ins interview oath the Captain-General of Catalonia, in the neigh bourhood of Puyeerda." Lastly, a letter from Toulouse says— " Every day there arrives from Perpignan, Spanish refugees irnplieated in the late affairs of Catalonia. The attempted insurrection which took place on the 19th has brought to us three individuals, two of whom were to have acted a great part in the pre jetted insurrection."

The Revenue for the current quarter will not be made up till a late hour to-night.- It gives us pleasure, however, to be able to state tin contradiction to the statements made in some of th,2 daily journals) that if there is any decrease at all, it is of a very trifling character. Returns up to the begining of last week showed an in. crease on the total amount ; but is now thought there will be a small decrease, although as we before said, of a very billing amount, when compared with the corresponding quarter of last year. Another Russian Bulletin has just appeared, by reference to which it will be seen that the GRAND ViziErt has effected his return to Shumla—probably with a large portion of his army, for the pursuit was conducted in a very bungling manner, notwithstanding all the Bulletins to the contrary. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY had a long interview with the Duke of WELLINGTON this morning in Downing-street. A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office this afternoon, the summonses for which were issued last night. Count VILLA nort arrived at Terceira on the 23(1 of June, and assumed the command of the Island. He contrived to break through the blockading squadron in a merchant•vessel-- an attempt as hazardous as it was daring. He immediately addressed a spirited order of the day to the troops, and a Proclamation to the people —for neither of which we have room. American Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 9th June, from New York. We understand from the spirited proprietor of the above esta blishment, that the packet-ship Caledonia, from New York, has arrived off Liverpool, having sailed from New York on the 16th June, but the letters and papers will not be up before to morrow night. The papers to the 9th contain an account of a most deplorable accident that befel the celebrated American steam frigate the Fulton, which was rendered a complete wreck by the explosion of some barrels of powder in her magazine. The loss of life was very severe. The officers were seated at dinner when the ex plosion took place ; but we refer our readers to another column for full particulars of this dis- :ressing event. Mr. JEFFREY, we perceive, has at last been elected Dean of the Faculty of Advocates, an honour which has given great and deserved satis faction to the inhabitants of Edinburgh. Never yet did election fall upon a worthier candidate. Take him in almost every department of intellect, as a lawyer —a critic—a philosopher—a rhetori cian—a scholar—and Mr. JEFFREY will be ton id equally eminent. His shrewdness is ex- DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (South Sea Stock Old Annuities New Ditto — Ex. 81115,.£ 1,000 2d. CS 70 pro. Ditto ....500 2d. CS 70 pm. Ditto Small 2d. I 9 70 pm.

His wit is of the most dazzling character, yet though often superabundant is never forced, or stiff or inapposite ; his power of imagery is lavish in the extreme ; and his mastery over language, which is invariably malleable and tractable in his hands, is the despotic mastery of a Russian Despot over his Serf. As a lite rary man, he is an honour to the country which gave him birth ; as the sta nen supporter through every vicissitude of good and evil report, of civil and religious freedom, be is far from being over paid even by his appointment as Dean of Faculty " A man," says SWlFT—and if ever any one kn , ew the world, it was the incomparable author of the Tale of a Tub—" is always temperate and collected, in proportion to 6^ justice of the cause he advocates." By applying this apho ridm to the True Blue Club dinner—some ac count of which appears in our columns of to-day— our readers will not fail to perceive at one dance, who were right and who were wrong in the opi. nions they upheld at that notable ovation. On the side of the Liberal party, appropriately repre sented by Mr. BRAAIsToN, they will find tempe rate and constitutional doctrines iulvocated in a tem perate and constitutional spil it ; and on the side of t! Bruuswickers, of whom Sir HENRY SMYTH seems to be the characteristic Corypheus, they will meet with absurd notions enforced with equal absurdity. This ingenious Baronet, in a speech "of considerable warmth, pledged himself that at the next election, if a vacancy occurred in the representation of the county, he would not sup port Mr. BRANISTON. On the contrary, he would hunt the country for a candidate to oppose him, and in the event of his not being successful, he would do so himself.' Why this dreadful threat, our readers will natu rally ask ? Simply because Mr. BItAAISTON sent " his `two sons to Oxford to vote for Mr. PEEL !" Atrocious act ! unparalleled effron tery! But granting that Mr. BRANISTON— and this is making a pretty large concession— has really been unwise in his Fupport of Mr. PEEL, pray why is the county to be punished for his indiscretion ? Why is Essex—harmless nnoffending Essex—to be visited by the serious affliction of having its intellect and liberality re presented by Sir HENRY SMYTH, simply because Mr. BRAMSTON in the exercise of a justifiable discretion (to say the least of it), has thought fi to support Air. PEEL ? Really, the punishment as much exceeds the offence, as if a Member, for having fallen asleep over one of Mr. SAM• LER'S best speeches, should be compelled to wade throuo Mr. BANKES'S Constitutions' History of Rome.

The inhabitants of Northwich, Cheshire, have presented Lord ELnos with a fine Cheshire cheese, painted and beautified in the style of a twelfth cake. Lord NORTHWICK, at his audit on Saturday last, at Ketton, near Stamforl, directed his agent to allow his tenants an abatement of 15 per cent. fro:n their half year's rents due at Lady-day last. In the French Papers of Wednesday, which arrived last night, we find a continuation of the debates on the budget. M. HYDE DE NEUVILLE, the Minister of Marine, brought forward on the previous day, in the Chamber of Deputies, the navy estimates. Neither his Excellency's speech. nor the speeches which followed, con• tained disclosures of much interest in England. The ex pences (if the Fr:Reli navy ate this year fixed at 63,212,252 f., or about 2,500,0001. sterling; and the number of armed vessels afloat is stated at 128, among which the,e are only one ship of the line and 14 frigates. In comparing the naval resources of France with those of England, /M. DE NEUEILLE stated that the latter pos sessed 338 steam-vessels, which, in case of emergency, could be seized by the Government and employed in tow ing its slips of war. After detailing the stations of the different vessels which compose the 12S ships constituting the nary in actual service, the Minister entered into a his tory cf the French marine, and its numerical strength at difG rent epochs. In 1814, France had, employed and in dock, 73 ships of the line ; in 1816, 72 ; in 1817, 68 ; in 1819, 65 ; in 1824, 61; in 1825, 59 ; in 1828, 56 ; and the number afloat, and constructing, in 1830, will be 52. In 1814, France had in frigates, 42; in 1823, 45 ; in 1821, 47 ; in 1828, 52 ; and in 1829, 55. On the let of January next, the number will amount to 63. Thus, between 1814 and 1830, there will be a difference of 21 ships of the line in favour of 1814, and 21 frig. tea in favour of the latter period. cceded only by his judgment ; his judgment, one of the most distinguishing faculties of his mind, only by his eloquence. In _this last faculty indeed he is confessedly un rivalled. There is no living author from whose • • - 0 ' LAW INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. J UDC 31 ENT.-- COVENT GA IME THEATE.E. CONST V. HARRIS. The LORD CHANCELLOR. gave judgment to-day in this case, in which the plaintiff Mr. Const, complained that the deed of 1812 had been departed from, and its pro visions infringed. By that deed certain chargt and debts were to be paid out of the rents and profits of the theatre in a certain cause. Mr. Coast complained that the pro ceeds of the theatre had been applied by the defendants in a different manner, end that they had altogether neglected the provisions of the deed. Upon this state of thinge Mr. Const filed his bill, praying certain inquiries might be directed, accounts taken, and an order made for the sale of the property. When the case came before the Master of the Rolls, Iris Honour directed that the Master should enquire whether any of the debts enumerated in the schedule remained unsatisfied, and to what extent; whether any of the profits and rents of the theatre, which were applicable by the provisions of the deed of 1812, to the discharge of certain debts, had been misapplied, and in case the Master should find la favour of the misapplication, by whom that misapplication had been made, and whether that had taken place by the acquiescence of the parties to the deed of 1812. From these inquiries the parties had appealed. His Lordship considered, as far as the question turned upon the misapplica tion of these funds and the infringement of the deed of 1812, these inquiries would enable the Court to decitl,. the whole question arising on the case. That being his impression he could come to no other decision than that the Master of th e Rolls was perfectly correct in directing the inquiries he had done. But it was said that a direction ought to have been made for the sale of the whole property. Look ing at the circumstances before him in the present case, his Lordship thought there was not sufficient to justify the Court in directing a sale of the property—nothing to sa tisfy his mind that such a course ought to be adopted. The 'Court was clearly, of opinion that the present inquiries should be proceeded with, because from their result pro bably an end might be put to the proceeding► entirely, and ordered the judgment of the Master of the Rolls to be con firmed, with 101. costs. COST V. lIARRTS. Mr. PEPTS presented a petition from Messrs. Kemhle, Willett, and Forbes, praying that a sum of 19,000/., now in Court, might he paid out to meet the expellees of the theatre. The petition further prayed, that if this order was refused, that the sums of 1,100/. and 2,000/. might be paid, besides the rent due to the Duke of Bedford. This was opposed be the Solacrron-GENanAr. and Mr. JAIVIcs, on behalf of Mr. Harris, and by Mr. HoaNE and Mr. BtcxERSTETII for Mr. Coast. They all" how ever agreed that the rent should ha immediately paid out of the fund to the Duke of Bedford, together with the costs of ejectment brought by his Grace. After a pro tracted argument, The Lonn CHANCELLOa made an order fir the pay ment of the rent, and said before he pronounced his judg ment. on the other parts of the petition, he should carefully read over all the papers. VICE.CHANCELLOWS COURT. EVEREST V. WARE. The Court was engaged the whole morning with thi part-heard appeal, which does not possess any public in to rest. COURT OF KING'S 13ENCUL WHITMORE AND OTHERS V. JOHN WILK., SEN. Lord TENTEBDEN stated, that this was an action by the trustees for lighting, watching, cleansing, and im proving the pari‘h of St. Luke's, against the defendant, their clerk. Two counts of the declaration charged the defendant with negligence. First, in having permitted his' clerk named Milne, to receive 350/, on behalf of him self, with which sum the said clerk absconded. Secondly, in respect to certain cheques. The Jury returned a ver dict for plaintiff, on account for meney had end received, and for the deendent on all the other counts. At the trial a witness named Sinnot, a dust-contractor, was examined, to fume the payment of the above 3501 The Attorney-General objected to his competency to give evi dence, on the ground that as the sum paid was an instil ment in part of his contract, be was now _interested in proving it to have been paid, as if the plaintiffs were non suited he would be liable to pay it again. Lord Tenter den received his evidence, but gave the defendant liberty to move to enter a nonsuit, or obtain a new trial. Mr. CAMPBELL and Mr. POLLOCK now showed cause against the rule, which was supported by Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL, Air. GURNEY, Mr. BROUGHAM, and Mr. CHITTY. The two questions in the argument whether Sinnot was a competent witness, and whether Wilks was liable for his clerk, who was not authorised in receiving it, were ar gued at great length. Lord TENTERDEN observed th.t the questions (particu larly that of the competency of Sinnot as a witness) were so important, that the court thought it requisite to take some time to consider of it. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. ENOWLES V. WRICLCY. Sir Wm. Owtr,N shrived cause against a rule obtained in this ease by Mr. Mattison, calling on the plaintiff to suety cause why an interlocutory judgment he bail obtained should not be set aside. The parties reside in Lancashire, and the action was brought for an assault and trespass. Some error arising in the proceedings, a writ of inquiry was issued, and a Sheriff's Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 251. The Learned Counsel contended it was the invariable rale of all the Courts not to set aside a verdict of this I:ind, except upon an affidavit of merits, and there was no such affidavit in this ca•e. Mr. Baron GARnow—ls that the invariable rule, Mr. Pat tison ? Mr. PATTISON--It is, my Lord, in actions for debt, but not in others. Mr. Baron nuer.ocK—Why did the defendant suffer judgment to go by default, if he had a good defence? Mr. PArrzsotc—On the 7th May we discovered an error in the proceedings, and the defendant's attorney ias• mediately wrote a letter to the plaintiff's attorney, asking for a little indulgence, to which he sent a verbal message that no answer was necessary. We consequently supposed that he agreed to it ; but quite the contrary was the ca se , for ha directly took advantage of the error, and issued a writ of inquiry, to be held at Preston, thirty-eight tni!es from where the alleged offence was committed. Mr. Baron GAIIROW-Then, if I understand you, your client made a slip, and requested a little indulgence, end the defendant's attorney said there was no answer required. PATTISON—Yes, my Lord. Mr. Baron GAR/COW-Theft I say it was but natural that your client should have supposed that the request was agreed to. An answer ought undoubtedly to have been returned to the application. I hope this is not the gene• ral manner in which business is transacted in attornies' offices in London. Sir NI OWEN—The parties live in the country, my Lord. Mr. Baron GAnnow—Country or London such prac tice is very censurahl,. Sir Wm. OwEN—I submit, my Lord, that the de fendant has lost his light to this rule by delay, having suffered four days to elapse before he made the application. Mr. Baron HULLOCK—We often hear Counsel talk about loss of time, as if parties were obliged to come to town express, and sit up of nights to make affidavits.— The Courts require no such hurried practice, and always wish that reasonable time should be allowed. Ctrmmm• BARON—The Court are unanimously of opinion that the judgment ought to be set aside, on the payment of costa up to the time the application was made to the defendant's attorney.—Rule absolute. Sir \Vat. Owr:N—l wish attornics were more courteous in their behaviour. Baru• Iletr.oex—You may wish so, Sir William ; but I think your wish is only idle.—(Laughter.) After the performance of Divine Service yes terday morning in Westminster Abbey, the ancient cere mony of installation of a Lay Clerk was performed by the Rev. Dr. DAKINS, Precentor, by order of the Dean, the candidate, Mr. Ricua RD CLARK, having served his pro bationary year, the Rev. Messrs. WaTsom and LurroN, minor canons of the Cathedral, Messrs.

MGR Ewor. Three cases of appeal all of them from the Isle of Man, were set down for hear ing, the first " Blanchford v. which had be. n in part heard at the last meeting, was resumed. This cause (which was to try the disputed validity of a certain deed) occupied their Lordships till near two o'clock, when their Lordships deliberated for some time. Lord WYNFORD then, on the part of their Lordships, dismissed the appeal with coats, on the ground that when a deed on the face of it shows clearly that it has been executed under uncon scientious conditions by a person weak both in body and mind, such deed should be set aside, and in consequence their Lordships confirmed the decision of the Lieutenant- Governor. In the second appeal, that of " Roper v. Gar ratt," their Lordships reversed the decision of the Colonial Court; and in the last case, that of " Corbett v. Bluer," Lord WYNFORD, on the part of their Lordships, confirmed the decision of the Colonial Court. Their Lordships ad journed about four o'clock. Prince POLIGNAC, the French Ambassador, and Lord ELLENBOROUGH, had interviews with the Duke of WELLINGTON yesterday at the Treasury. DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF THE AM RICAN STEAM FRIGATE FULTON. (From the New York Commercial Advertiser, June Our city was astounded last evening by the a palling intelligence of the destruction of the stew frigate Fu/ton, at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, al the killing and wounding of a great number of me by the explosion of the powder magazine. The Fulton has ever since the war been occupit as a receiving ship, and was moored within 2C yards of the shore. The magazine was in the bo of the ship, and contained at the time of the expli sion but three barrels of damaged powder. The el plosion was not louder than that produced by ti discharge of a single cannon ; and many person in the Navy Yard supposed the report to have pet ceeded from such a source, until they saw the in mense column of smoke arising from the verse Others about the yard saw the masts rising int the air. before the explosion, and immediately after the air was filled with fragments of the vessel. 1 is not a little remarkable, that a Midshipman, will was, at the time of the accident, asleep on board'p the frigate United States, within 200 yards of thi frigate, was not at all disturbed by the report o the explosion, and was not aware of the occurrence until he was told of it after he awoke. The Fulton is a complete wreck, the bow heieP destroyed nearly to the water, and the whole of thi 6 immense vessel, Whose sides were more than foul feet thick, arid all other parts of corresponding strength—is now lying an entire heap of ruins, burst a•under in all parts, and aground at the spot w here she was moored. Although she was but 200 yards from the Navy Yard, and many vessels near her, not one of them received the last damage ; nor was the bridge which led from the shore to the Fulton at all injured. The sentinel upon the bridge receive!d no wound whatever, and continued to perform his. duty after the accident, as unconcerned as though nothing had happened. The sentinel on board the ship was less fortunate, and escaped with merely ( 11 slight accident on such occasion) a broken leg. There were attached to the Fulton, by the roll 6f the ship, 143 persons; and at the time of the ex plosion there were supposed to have been on board the vessel about GO persons. The bodies of the following persons have been brought on shore, and placed in coffins :- 11.brrt M. Peck, marine; William Kemp, seaman ; Alexander Cameron, marine; Franklia Uly, do., purser's steward ; Henry Legan, do., corporal ; John M`Keever, do. ; Charles Williamson, do. ; Otto E. Fergustine, do ;'• Sylvestt. Olialoran, do. ; James Livingstone, ordinary sea - nan. from Ireland ; Thomas Walton, seaman ; Jobs Pierce, first seaman ; Thom is D. Burgen, do. ; Jacob %ire, landsman, New York : William A. Lehman, do. ; Peter Gillen, do. ; T. Williams, gunner; John pass Rayes, barber, of Mexico; Joseph Brown, seaman, acting cook ; Harman Vete!, a boatman, of New York ; 'tWin. Brown, a boy ; Mrs. Brown, a mulatto; Mrs. Stockwell, of New York ; Mrs. Neilson, a Swede, whose husband was a seaman, and died a few days since. WOUNDED. Lieutenant Charles T. Platt, severely; Lieut. S. M. Brackenridge, since dead ; Lieutenant Alex. M. Mull, slightly ; Jolla Montgomery, sergeant of marines, do. ; Win. Butter, Captain's steward, do. ; Sailing Master John Clough, severely. Midshipmen —Rob e rt E. Johnston, severely; David APDongel, do. ; Robert P. Welsh, do. ; Mr. Eckford (a son of Henry Rickford, Esq. of this city), thigh broken. Rohert Kilpatrick, Marine, severely; Patrick Gilligan, do., slightly ; John Driscoll, do., do. ; Nicholas D. Farrell, do., severely ; Jacob De Hart, do., do. ; Thomas M‘Cullough, cook, slightly; Charles Scott, seaman, se ver,ly ; Zvi). Robertson, do., du. ; Joseph Moore, dta• slightly; Thomas Newbova, du., do.; William Brows, musician, severely; Stephen Decatur, a boy, do. This accident was occasioned by the gunner's going into the magazine to procure powder to fire the evening gun. He was charged by one of the officers, previously to his going below, to be careful, and soon after the explosion took place. We under stand that he was a man between fifty and sixty years of •age, and had just been appointed to that office, the old gunner having been discharged the day before. He was desired by Lieutenant Bracken ridge to . be cautious with the light, and to place it in the location invariably provided for it on such occasions —viz., behind behind a reflecting• glass in the par tition, through which the rays of light are thrown. It is supposed he had been careless in this particular, and that having carried the candle into the maga zine, some of its sparks were communicated to the powder; but as he is among the dead, nothing cer tain upon thi s p o i nt can ever b e known. Lieutenant Mull states that the necessary precautions had been taken for opening the magazine, and a sentinel placed at the hatch before he left the deck, and that after being in the ward-room some twenty minutes, the explosion took place. At the time of the explosion, the officers were .lining in the ward room. The lady of Lieutenant Btackenridge, and the son of Lieutenant Platt, a lad of about nine years old, were guests, and one ac count says both were slightly wounded. Another account says Lieutenant Mull, who was sitting next to the son of Lieutenant Platt, with great presence of mind, caught hold of him, and placed him in one of the port holes, by which means he escaped unin jured. Lieutenant Platt had returned only yester day morning, having been absent one month on leave. Corn. Chauncey, with the Commander of the frigate, Captain Newton, left her only a few minutes before the explosion, the former having been on board on a visit of inspection. The escape of Midshipman Eckford seems to have been almost miraculous. When Commodore Chaun cey (who was one of the first to reach the vessel) got on board, the first object he saw was young Eckford hanging by one of his legs between the gun-deck, whither he had been forced by the explosion. A jack-screw was immediately procured, by means of %%inch the deck was raised, and he was extricated from his perilous situation. The room in which the officers were dining was situated about midships. The whole company at the table were forced, by the concussion, against the transom, with such violence as to break their limbs, and otherwise cut and bruise them in a shocking manner. The magazine was situated in the bows of the vessel. This part of the ship, as may well be ima gined, is completely demolished. Indeed the ship remains as complete a wreck as probably was ever beheld. The timbers throughout appear to have been perfectly rotten. Many of the guns were thrown overboard, and some of them (of large di. mension) now lung as it were by a hair. The bodies of the dead and wounded were brought on shore as soon as circumstances would. permit. The former, after being recognized, were put into coffins. The latter were taken to the hos- . pital of the Navy-yard, and every attention paid to them. The bodies of the dead were shockingly mangled, their features distorted, and so much blackened that it was difficult to recognize them. MI the physcialis of Brooklyn, and several from this city, proffered their services, which proved very acceptable. As soon as the intelligence reached the city, thou sands of persons visited the wreck of the Fulton. The steam-boats on their pavage up the river stop ped to learn the particulars, and hundreds .of small boats proceeded to the spot. The Navy yard was also filled with persons making inquiries after their relations or friends, and expressing much anxiety to see the bodies, for the purpose of ascertaining whether they were among the dead or wounded. 'We are pained to learn that Mrs. Brackenridge is not slightly, but very severely wounded ; and the injury of Li eut . Pl att i s so ser i ous, that but a faint hope is indulged of his recovery. What is a very remarkable circumstance, although several of the persons at dinner in the ward-room escaped with their lives, and some of them unin jured, not a vestige of the table, chairs, or any of the furniture of the room, remains. Every thing was blown to atoms.
