Great Britain steam-ship, Oct. 13, 1846. Gentlemen,—Captain Claxton's letter will have put you in possession of the leading facts relating to the stranding of this ship, but I feel called on to give you an account of the sad disaster more in detail, both for your satisfaction and that of the proprietors, as well as in my own justification. It is possible you may have expected this before, but from the 22d ult. to the middle of last week, my whole time and energies were devoted, in the first instance to the attempt to get the ship off, and then in trying to stop a heavy leak near the stern, both, I grieve to say, ineffectual. During that time my occupation was as much in the water as out of it; the few spare hours I had I found absolutely neces sary for rest, and Captain Claxton can tell you how much I required it when he was here; I was, therefore, totally unfitted to give you this statement until now. Our pilot left a little inside the Bell Buoy, about one o'clock, and it was about ten minutes past one when we were fairly under weigh abreast it; all plain sail was set, with a fine breeze from the S.E., at times S.S.E.; I determined to go by the North Channel in con sequence, as the wind was certain to be south westerly in the South Channel, after passing Holy head; and I have frequently taken the North Channel before, and think it the best under those circumstances, indeed I would take it in preference were all things equal. My reasons are, in thick weather (and I have gone out of the North Channel in a fog), you meet one vessel in that channel to twenty in the south ; indeed, with the first of a south -wester, one to fifty. You cheat the tides, and have less against and more for you. You get clear of the land in much less time. Yuu shorten the distance to New York a little, and you get a great advantage by being north, as the set of the Atlan tic generally is to the southward, indeed almost invari ably, and a slant of wind sometimes, as the wind hangs more to the northward than it does farther south; on the whole, it is my opinion that a day is saved in the passage by going through the North Channel, when the season for the meeting field ice is over, and the ice-bergs drift to the southward. The log was hove regularly, and gave a speed of 101 to 11 knots per hour, and I ascertained from the first officer, Mr. Hedger, by direct inquiry, that the line and glass were correct : 11 knots, with the ship deep, is as much as could be fairly expected. At about half-past five I caught a glimpse of the Isle of Man, but what part of the Island exactly, or how far off, I could not de cidedly say, as it was then getting dark, and the weather becoming thick.' Immediately after, or about six o'clock, it came on to rain and blow harder, and the weather very thick, and it threatened, to be, as it proved, as vile a night as could be experienced. I have no doubt this would be corroborated by any one at tea on that night. (The " Sea Nymph " would not start from Warren Point, a most unusual . thing.) About seven o'clock I remarked to the first and second officers (both of whom were with me on the forecastle, looking out, where I had been, and continued there and at the compass, with . the exception of from five to ten minutes, from half-past five to the time the ship struck.) that we must be well up with the Calf, and that I might safely allow her 101 knots per hour since leaving the Bell Buoy; soon after this, I told the filet officer to shorten sail at eight o'clock, take in top gallant sails, two reefs in foretop sail, one in the main, and haul the foresail up, as I should alter the course to N. by E. (which is higher than the North Channel course), and go easy all night, feeling sure the ship was past the island. The course was altered at eight, and sail shortened accordingly ; at about a quarter pact eight I was standing by the wheel, watching the steerage while reef ing, when the officer looking out on the forecastle re ported a light on the port, or larboard bow; I said, immediately, it must be a vessel's light; the light was lost sight of in the thick weather for a short time:and again showed itself as a revolving light. I immediately kept the ship off her former course, N.W. by N., exclaiming, " How is it possible she has not run her distance ; what can have held her back ?" taking the light for one of the Calf of Man lights, and supposing the other hidden by the thick weather, which is often the case, as many seamen well know. I have been cruising on that station in a man-of war, some years since, and frequently have seen but one light. I then continued by the compass watching the hearing of the light, and trying with a glass to make out the s, coed light, but a glass on that night was useless, from the continued rain; I could not help thinking we must be past the Island, at the same time there was a re volving light occasionally before my eyes to tell me we were not past it, and I dil as I believe most sailors in my situation would have done (not knowing there was any other re velving light in the direction we bad been running from the Bell Buoy, as my chart, new, and dated 1816, does not show any light on St. John's Point), stood on until I got the rght bearing for round ing the Hen and Chicken rocks, lying off the Calf of Man. I then hauled the ship up to north g radually, and to N. B. ultimately, when I was surprised to find, on inquiring the time, that it was a quarter past nine; I ran down fora moment to look at my chart, and back again to the helm, when I heard a loud hail from the forecastle, and at the same moment I saw what ap peared and proved shoal water alongside. I instantly sung, out hard a port—stop her ; this was done. I ordered a back turn, braced the yards by, and shifted the helm, all without effect. Tne sea b .gan to break over us, and the engineer toll me ho could not move the engines ; this made our else for the time hopeless, as it was near high water on a spring tide. I then ordered an anchor to be got clear - the sky -lights, hatch ways, companions, &e., to be secured ; the boats to be looked to, to be ready in Cad , ' of need. I ..vei.t below to assure the passengers that I bdieverl there was on danger of loss of life, provided they did as I wished them, namely, remain quiet until daylight sh , :uld show us where we were, and what was best to be d ; I also consulted my chart, but could not make out to my own satisfaction clearly where we. were, but b heved we were not far from Ariglass, rear Gun Island, and that the light in sight was that of the South Rock ; and at day break, when the Coast Guard people and others come elf, I would not believe we were in Dundram Bay, and that there was a light on St. Doha's Point, for some time. The ship was forging ahead with the sea, and I was afraid to let en anchor go, lest it midit go through her bottom, and do more harm than good besides the further the ship went the greater chance there was of saving everybody. Towards daybreak it moderated, and I immediately lowered one of our life beats, and commenced landing the passengers, the ladies first. The tide soon ebbed out to the ship, and the pas sengers got on shore in a variety of ways—by ropes, by carts, on men's shoulders, &c. ; and then their luggage, only one or two packages of which have, I believe, been lost. There was a great rush among the poorer people for jobs, for which they took good care to be well paid, but no ill-treatment to any of the passen gers has come to my knowledge. The Coast Guard, with Captain Fisher at their head, gave every possible assistance. Lieut. Morris. the officer in charge of the station, was early oe heard, and did all he could do to help us. Also Hugh Purdy, chief boatman, who was among the first persons on board, and answered the signals we made in the course of the night very promptly. I cannot say sufficient for the great kind ness we all experienced from Lady Matilda Mont goTery, who gave shelter on ler her own roof to several cf the paisengere, and ohta;re d shelter fur many more in the cottages of the peasantry around. Captain Despard, a magistrate, was also here t arly and of great assistance in s'curing the passengers' luggage in the Coast Guard Wa•chhuuse, and settling disputes as to amount for carriage, Sec. &c. The constabulary force, under Mr. Janns, were here as soon as possible, and afforded valuable assistance, which they have continued until very recently. There aro many others in the neighbourhood who have offered assistance, and I may say generally that all has been done for us that could be done anywhere, under our trying circumstances. Our thanks are particularly due to Sir James Dombraine, the inspector-t.,eneral of Coast Guard, who, en hearing of the disaster, sent two boats' crews (eight men), with the mate of the Royal George, revenue cruiser, to our assistance. Mr. Brown, the chief mate, proved a valuable and efficient officer, end we are indebted to him for good service, as ' well as to his party of men, whose assistance we found most valuable in the boats. I also feel much gratified in being able to say that Mr. Hedger, the chief, and the whole of the officers and crew, behaved themselves in the most exemplary manner during all their very hard work, and conducted themselves with the same spirit and obe dience to orders that could be shown by any men in the most ordinary routine of duty. I need not go into the failure of all our attempts to get the ship afloat, this you know from Captain Claxton, and my letters. I must remark that it is clear there must have been a westerly set, which placed the ship more than a mile and a half an ht ur ahead of what the log gave ; this is clear from the distance run from Liver. pool (Coburg Dock Gate), to where we are ; about 120 miles in 9i hours gives 12i knots per hour; the log grave rather less than 11 knots, and this set also prevented our seeing the Calf of Man Lights as we passed more to the S.W. than we ought to have done by the course steered, which I find to be the same (N.W. by N.) as steered by the regular trading steamers between Liverpool and the ports near this. I must also observe that I cannot attach any blame to the com passes or steerage. I tried the compasses a day or two after we got here, and found them correct to a of a point ; in fact, I take the whole blame, if there be any, to myself, for it is I alone who had anything to do with the navigation of this ship, or any other I have ever commanded. Overwhelmed by the occurrence, mortified at the issue of our great effort, it is still not without confidence that I leave my case in your hands, first claiming permission to look back on the occurrences of the past fifteen years, and more particularly to the time I have been connected with your company. In the year 1931, I first commanded a ship; one of the Falmouth Post-office packets, and in 1832 I commanded another Falmouth packet; in both those I kept my own reckoning, although I had officers there for that express purpose. From 1832 to 1837 I commanded merchant sailing vessels in a foreign trade, and a steamer in the coasting trade; those vessels I navigated myself of course. In 1837 I took command of your ship the Great Western, and that good ship I navigated, entirely my self, sixty-four times to and from New York, for which I obtained your high opinion and the offer of the com mand of the Great Britain, as well as a complimentary letter, and a valuable present from the Underwriters at Lloyd's, " for nautical skill and seamanship." During that time the numerous presents and testimonials from passengers, I am sure, were given for the care with which I navigated your ship Principally, and the whole credit formerly, or discredit now, s ail my own; but I feel a firm conviction that you, gentlemen, will acquit me of blame in this impor tant matter, and, if so, I trust will publicly declare 70114 1. hollet sashimi:ma °piaci% to that effect. That Iwill materially lessen the severe blow I have received, mere severe, in every way, to me than to any other person.—l remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant, JAMES lIOSKEN. EXTRACTS FROM THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD, OCT. 20, 1846. Mr. Patterson attended the Board on his return from the ship, and explained his views as to getting her off, and reported that, finding it necessary to protect the ship until some means be adopted for her removal, he had ordered a fender of wood-work to be made to secure the ship's quarter, at an expense of 601. or 701. ; and having recommended that a small floating breakwater should be constructed for her protection generally, at a cost of about 1001., It was resolved, That the temporary protection ordered for the ship's quarter be confirmed, and that the breakwater be im mediately proceeded with; also that the Secretary will communicate with Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., of Liverpool, iu reference to Mr. Patterson's views as to getting her off, for the consideration of the underwriters. Captain Hosken's report of the circumstances which preceded the disaster of the " Great Britain " iu Dun drum Bay, and also the after occurrences, having been read and considered, It was resolved, Ist.—That the report be circulated among the pro prietors. V.—That while the directors sympathise with Capt. Hosken upon an event so efflicting to him, and so in jurious to the company, they rejoice with him that the catastrophe was, by the blessing of Providence, unat tended with loss of life or personal injury to any one. 3d.—They take this opportunity of recording their most grateful thanks to Lady Matilda Montgomery, the magistrates, and the officers and men of the Coast Guard, constabulary, and revenue services mentioned in Captain Hosken's report ; and their perfect satis faction with the conduct of the officers and ship's com pany, who, under circumstances of great trial and fatigue, conducted themselves so admirably. 4th.—With respect to the occurrences which preceded the stranding of the unfortunate ship, as explained now by Captain Hosken, and by the report of Captain Clax ton to the secretary, the directors are of opinion that the ship was stranded in consequence of an error in judg ment into which it appears her captain was betrayed, through the omission of a notice of St. John's Light in the chart of this year, by which he was navigating, and of the want of knowledge on his part of such a light being established—it being to the directors obvious, that, had that light been laid down, Captain Hosken would have known that the judgment which led him at eight o'clock to put his ship in the proper course for the North Chan nel ought to have been persevered in. The directors cannot dismiss the subject at its present stage without considering whether any and what amount of benefit to navigation is to be derived from the melan choly circumstances which they hare so deeply to de. plore, and they inform the proprietors that they mean to appeal to all insurance companies, all merchants, shipowners, and masters of ships, to aid them in urging upon the Legislature an enactment, with heavy penalties, against all Admiralty agents who shall, after the passing of the same, sell charts without an, annual certificate, that they have been examined by a person or persons in authority, either from the Flydrographer's Office or the Trinity House, or as may be appointed, and that they contain all the known lights, buoys, or beacons, up to the date of the said certificate; also upon vendors of charts not Admiralty agents, who shall not, in the first week of every January, have obtained a similar certificate from the Custom house authorities of the several seaports of the United Kingdom. The directors apprehend that this Ynay be accomplished without any sacrifice of property, as no thing can be more easy than dotting down in red ink, and in writing, whatever may be new upori the oldest charts, and the result would b 3 increased confidence in navigation, a vast saving of property, greater security to underwriters, and concomitant safety to the travelling public. - - - The stranding of so noble a specimen of naval architec ture, and the consequent check to the progress of naval science—the narrow escape from a watery grave of nearly three hundred persons—the probable loss of so much property, and the success or otherwise of experi ments to save her—are questions of interest, and while they are fresh in men's minds, or under discussion, is the time, the directors conceive, to add COl:Eiderations of modes of improvement in the safe guards of navigation, and they would consider themselves remiss if they neglected the earliest opportunity of claim ing the support of the public in obtaining an Act of Parliament, embracing in some shape the foregoing object, as they cannot but consider that the primary cause of the disaster was the omission of St. John's Light in the chart used by Captain Hosken. TRIGONOMETRICAL SURVEY OF SCOTLAND. Most of our readers are aware that a surrey of the British Isles, upon an extended and accurate scale, has been going on for a great many years, under the direc tion of the Admiralty and Ordnance departments of the Government. The survey of Ireland hls, we believe, been cempl , ted, and that of England nearly so. Only a comparatively small portion of the south of Scotland is, we uuderstana, finished ; but the triangulation, which has been in progress for some years,.is well advanced. It is upon the tr.g,onomctrical survey, or the observations determining the great triangulation of the country, preliminary to the detailed survey, that the corps of surveyors upon Ben Nevis is now engaged. Perhaps it ge erally known that the base line noon which th.. Triangulation of 11 - . e three queendorzs and all their islands is e..ared, was a:ea-Aire:l in Ire!and. From this base line a multifarious system of angles has been raised, triangu lating the country. to its uttermost limits. When the observations have been taken from the.main points, the) are_ sent up to the Ordnance Survey-office, which is at present at Southampton, where the calculators and maners aro at, work. Upon the reduction of the cake lations here, any distance from any point in Scotland to any other, with the bearing, can be dctsrmined to a nicety, without a line - ever having been actually measured in Se )thuld. They are all divided from the base-line in Inland, upon the simple and beauti- tin calculation, that when the one side and two angles of a triangle are given, the other two sides and the remaining angle may be found. The great net-work of triangles formed by these trigonometrical points (which may now be seen upon every prominent hill-top in the country) forms the ground work upon which the survey is based. Surrucrs arc employed filling in the details with great minuteness. Others again are employed filling in the coast lines, sounding the channels and navigable rivers, observing the tides and currents, 8.7. c , placing buoys and beacons where required, and publishing the charts with full and correct sailing directions. So correct and elabo rate is this Ordnance survey, that in Ireland, where it has been completed, no new survey has been required for railway lined The great theodolite upon Ben Nev's is one of three of the largest siva which are at present in ope ration upon leading points in Scotland. It was eon , strutted by- Ramsden, in thrce feet diameter, has eight microscopes, and reads to tenths of seconds. The methods by which long distances are observed is in t, Testing. It is evident that, in dis•ances of 50 to 100 miles, no ordinary object cluld be distinguish able. By the adoption of the heliustal or sun light, it is calculated that they will be enulded to take observations at a distance of 120 or 150 miles from ani Nevis. Corporal Wind&T is in confident ex pectation of being able to observe Knocklayde in Ireland. The sun-light consists of a mirror so posi• tinned as to reflect the sun right in the direction of the mountain-top from which it is desired to ob serve it. At present, there are sun-mirrors upon many of the principal mountains, directed towards Iltm Nevis. That on . Ben Macdhui, w h en seen through the great theodolite, presents the appear ance of a very vivid star. These heliostal besides enabling the observer upon Ben Nevis to fix with a greater degree of certainty the main points of the great triangulation, and likewis e to olNerve objects at distances where no ordinary signal could be visible, serve as beacon-lights amongst the tremendous sea of hills by which he is sur rounded. Some idea may be formed of the - splendid sweep of vision which the theodolite upon Ben Nevls commands, when it is stated that 1,500 observations are expected to be taken from it. Upwards of four mountain-tops will thus, on the average, fall within each degree of the circle. In addition to the main, purpose of the triangulation of Scotland, numerous ce lestial, and barometrical, and thermometrical observa dons are here being registered. From Corporal Windzer we learned, that during the first fortnight in August (during which only he had lived upon the summit), the lowest thermometer had been 38 degrees, and the highest 54 degrees ; the barometer averaged 25.2 inches.— Aberdeen Journal. BEGGING LETTERS—IMPOSTORS.—A gentleman of ,his county received lately two begging letters from Ire and, written in the most plausible and persuasive style, and accompanied by forged certificates. One of them purported to be from a soldier's wife, Ellen Grant, a native of Beuly, who was wrecked while proceeding to join her husband, a colour-sergeant in the 77th Regi ment. Her other relations, she slid, had all emigrated to America some years since, and the people of Ireland would do nothing for a Scotch person. Hence she was in great distress, " trusting to his Honour's kind and bene volent answer by return of post." The second letter of this kind aroused the suspicions of the party to whom they were addressed, and he forwarded both to the Police-office at Dublin. In reply, the Commissioners of the Dublin Metropolitan Police stated that the papers had emanated from impostors sojourning in Dublin, and circulating fictitious applications for alms. The Com missioners sent copies of various other forged certificates of a similar description, accompanying them with the following notice, which we copy, to put our mailers on their guard, in case of other attempts at deception:— " The Commissioners of the Dublin MetropAiteu Police have received from various'parts of the United Kingdom, counterfeited certificates, purporting to be from magis trates at Galway, Sligo, and other ports, with fictitious subscription lists appended, and sometimes municipal seals (found to be impressions from casts of corporation livery buttons), in which papers, women, represented to be:widows of sergeants or other non-commissioned officers of her Majesty's forces, are recommended for alms, usually under pretence of destitution from shipwreck; ard various fabricators of such papers, apprehended by the police, having escaped punishment for the went of legal proof of the actual receipt of money by means of the faire pretences used (the only offence cognisable in the present state of the law) it has been considered ad • visable to give this public notice of the I a ids so prac tised, with a view to prevent further imposition, and in duce the transmission of charitable donations through responsible persons, when given in compliance with the written solicitations of unknown applicants.—lnverness Courier. • " Your Lordship is disposed to think that the opening of the depot at Westport, which contains about 150 tons of unground Indian corn, would afford to the people an effectual measure o f re li e f. " The auantity which I have stated is almost an an swer to this solicitation, but I am anxious to explain to your Lordship, that neither the trade nor the Govern ment could adupt any steps for increasing the supply of food in the country until the failure of the potato crop was known in September. " On the most favourable view that can be taken of tho time necessary to introduce foreign importations, it cannot be accomplished with any effect in less than three or four months. Until this period therefore has elspsed (from tile Ist of December to the Ist of January), neither the trade nor commissariat can be in a position to meet the exigency which your Lordship thinks is now impending. (‘ The only and the real remedy is the abundance of the late grain harvest, and your Lordship will not omit to observe the danger we incur in exporting this super fluity, or in failing to apply it to our local wants, and trap ferric our expectations to the importation of a foreign grain wh!ch has not had time to reach our coasts. " In consequence of the demand for Indian corn meal, the price has risen to .565. per quarter, much beyond the price of %I hole wheaten meal, the growth of I re l a nd, or of barley meal, v . hether grown here or imported. " I earnestly recommend to your Lordship's com mittee ihe advantage which these items of supply offer. " I should also strongly recommend the sowing of ryt instead of oats, at least in part, which is harvested usually six wiAclin or two months before wheat.

It would he decd log you and depriving us of the means of af fording a small temporary succour to some of the worst parts of Connemara and Achill Island.

In the Chiswick list Finlay Ma c kenzie, claiming for two freeh o ld house :, conjoint ly with his uncle, was ob jected to by the Conservatives. Mr. Russ, the claimant's uncle, stated that his nephew was possessed of the property. Mr. Payne—ls it not your property? Mr. Ross—Yes. Mr. Payne—Then by what right does your nephew claim? M r. Ross—l gave him permission to put his name on the list for the property. Mr. Payne—Did you convey any part of the property to him? Mr. Ross—No ; but I allow a large sum of money. Mr. James—Could he sell the property? Mr. Ross— Certainly not ; I only allow him to put his name down for a 40s. vote.—(Laughter.) Mr. James—That will not give him a qualification. You should convey hire a rent-charge- Name expunged. Mr. James complained of the conduct of the overseers of Hammersmith parish in objecting to a great number of voters in the list, on the ground of change of resi dence; it was a great stretch of authority in doing so, and also a great injustice to the voter, for ho could not receive any notice of the objection. The overseer said the lists wore put upon the church dcor. Mr. James said that might be the case, but it was pat up at a time when it was more than , likely that the voters were out of town, and in many cases the v o ters removed to the country, and then would not be able to g? to the chur c h-d oor without great trou bl e andinconve nience. ground ::)f . chan ge Mr. SIIAD WELL sa i d, if the overseers objected on the the parties kn ow b y letter, or put t h emse lves in a posi tion to prove th e qual i f i cation.

DUBLIN, OCT. 21.—The Freeman's Journal of this day publishes the following able letter, addressed to the Marquis of Sligo by Sir Randolph Routh, in which the latter undertakes to reply to the application of the Noble Marquis on behalf of the poor of his district far the es tablishment of food depots, and the importation by (Go vernment of food, and the sale thereof at such prices as would reduce the present exorbitant rates : " The Castle, Dublin, Oct. 14. " My Lord, —I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's letter of October 8, contain ing the resolutions of the Westport Committee, which reached me only yesterday, and I have this morning your letter of the 12th instant. " I pay due attention to your Lordship's application for Government assistance and the opening of the Go vernment depot, and I solicit your Lordship's patience whilst I enter into some explanation on this subject. " We have a crisis of a peculiar nature to overcome, and a sudden transition from potato to grain food, for which the country is little prepared. We have two great deficiencies to supply—mills and inland corn-dealers, and both are a work of time. • Unfortunately a great, and, as I think, an ill considered, opprobrium has been thrown upon Heelers in corn ; and the farmer, with scarcely any know ledge of the principles of trade, is exercising the two professions, and with injury to both. If they were, as they ought to be, divided, the farmer would be re lieved from a business that he does not understand, and would have his whole time given up to his own occupation, in which he would be materially assisted by loans or advances from the trader, who, as well as his landlord, would have an interest in his success. The day cannot be distant when the gentlemen of the country will see the advantage of encouraging dealers of character and respectability, and deriving all the advantage of the union of commerce and agriculture. " With regard to the high prices which it is alleged the dealers exact, we must bear in mind that if an article is scarce it must be dear; that a smaller quantity of food must be made to suffice for a longer period than is usual, and that the high price is the only criterion by which consumption can be economised. The interests of an intelligent dealer will always check the tendency to rase prices above their true level; or, at all events, the at tempt will carry its cure with it by disappointing him of his market. " The present is not a local scarcity, but includes all western Germany, Holland, Belgium, and France, as well as the United Kingdom ; and these Powers are competing with us is the fbod market ; and if we decline to pay the fair value, we shall lose our proportion of it. No merchant will bring his goods to our market if he can obtain a better price elsewhere. " I think we shall certainly mistake the object if we sell below the cost price, for we give up all check upon the consumption, and hut out all mercantile assistance from us, and stand alone in our market, making our selves responsible for the supply. " Your Lordship's information leads you to state that the grain in the country is only enough to supply the seed necessary for the sowing of the double crop to com pensate fur the loss of tie potato. " Imust not attempt to combat this impression as re lates to your Lordship's neighbourhood, but in the country generally it is acknowledged that the harvest has been abundant, and so great have been the exporta tions to England that the price has actually given way ander it, and the markets are less advantageous than in Ireland. Wheat has even been reshipped and brought back again. " Here is a proof of the great loss experienced by the country from the absence of respectable corn-dealers, whose business it would be to watch the course of trade and keep their own markets supplied, making the abund ance of one part of the country applicable to the demand of another. Mr. Payne—ls not this house mortgaged (general dis satisfaction) ? Mr. Baker (indignantly)—No, sir: Mr. James—lt is not usual, Mr. Payne, to put such a question openly. Mr. Baker applied to the Court for his expenses, and stated that he had been objected to year after year with out any reasonable cause whatever. Mr. SHADWELL said the name appeared twice upon the list ; one name ho had expunged, or he would have been glad to have allowed the expenses. William English, claiming in the Chelsea list for a house as occupier, was objected to by the Liberals. Mr. Payne—Do you reside at 38, Cedogan-place ? Voter—Yes. Mr. Payne—What rent do you pay ? Mr. English— I:pay 100/. a-year. Mr. Payne—That will do. Mr. English—Oh l but it won't do, though. I want my expenses. I have come 80 or 90 miles to support the vote, and I want to know why you have objected for the last four years ? Mr. Payne—l don't object. Mr. English—Oh yes, you do. I have received notices from you, and papers also. Mr. Payne—l don't object this year. Mr. English—No, but you did last. Mr. SHADWELL—It's a new claim; the name was struck off last year. Mr. English—lt was only for some little omission. Mr. Payne—My objection struck you off last year. Mr. English—You have nothing to do with our votes at all.—(Cries of" Bravo.") The votes don't belong to you. I wish that nobody would subscribe to our pettyfogging concerns, and then you would not int e rf ere with our votes.—(" Bravo.") Mr. Payne—Bravo, Rouse! The voter then left the court. In the same list the name of Jonathan Soden appeared and was objected to by the Conservatives. The following is the description as entered in the list t Qualification "arising from eight leasehold houses, situ ate and known as Jubilee-terrace, the lease being Tor 40 years, and above the clear yearly value of 1001." Mr. James put in a declaration made under the sta tute 6th William IV. Mr. Payne objected that there was no description in the fourth column. Mr. James said he could prove the qualification, and then have it inserted. Mr. SHADWELL—NO, no. Mr. James—Mr. Soden states in his declaration that the lease is for 40 years, and is of the value of 100/. above reprises. A2l years' lease would be sufficient. Mr. SHADWELL—No, no. It is all a drunken dream I Name expunged. The whole of the League votes in this district were retained. Many claimants in the Chelsea list were expunged, owing to their having claimed for leasehold qualifi cations, but in fact only being entitled to claim us oc cupiers. CHATHAM. Therevision for this borough was held on Thursday be fore T. J. Phillips, Esq , the R4:.ri,ing Barrister, at the Sun Hotel. Mr. George Ackworth attended for the Conservatives, and Mr. Stephenson for the Liberals. It was arranged between the barrister and the two solicitors to get through the list in about four hours, and to close the court at a quarter after three, P.m., and anyone appearing after that hour, their cases should not be heard. But such a decision was considered unfair, as a great many claim ants were working in the dockyard, and it was impos Bible for them to get out by that time; consequently such an arrangement had the effect of preventing se veral persons establishing their right to vote, because they came after the hour allowed by the Court. The Rev. Edward Pitman was objected to by the Li berals, as holding a permissive occupation of a house in the dockyard. The Reverend Gentleman is the chap lain, and was appointed to the house by the Admiralty. The Government pays all rates and taxes; he could not for any time leave the dockyard without obtaining leave of absence from the captain superintendent of the yard, or the Admiralty, and the house was allowed him for his services as preacher. The REVISING BARRISTER allowed the objection to be good. This decision decided all the other officers of the yard wi'o bad been objected to, amounting to about ten ob jections. The result of the revisions of the lists, leaves a balance in favour of the Liberals of 45 votes. HURRICANE at NEWFOUNDLAND. The following account of the severe hurricane with which the island of Newfoundland has been recently visited is printed from a letter received by the Bishop of Newfoundland, immediately after his Lordship's arrival in England:— " Rectory, St. John's, St. Matthew's. day, 1846. " My dear Lord Bishop,—You know how fine a day it was when you set sail from this, but we sincerely hope that you do not know what a fearful day the next was. I can find no words which would convey to you an adequate idea of the fearful storm of wind and rain with which we were visited on Saturday. The morning, from about six o'clock, was gloomy, with fog, wet, and a stiff breeze from the south-east. The wind increased from that quarter until, about noon, it became E.N.E., and blew with greater and greater vio lence, until it raged with all the fury of a hurricane, backing by degrees into the north and NNW., the rain pouring down more and more as the gale increased. It was at its height about five and six o'clock, p.m., and began to moderato shortly after nightfall. There has been great destruction of li!C and property here, and everywhere else along the coast, whmce we have yet re ceived accounts. In St. John's, several buildings in course of erection have been either wholly or partially thrown down ; among them, the greater part of Mr, Archibald's new brick house, and the unfinished Naiives' Hall.' This fell without warning, and she un happy people who had fo• n 1 a shelter in it since the fire were buried beneath the ruins. One child was taken out dead—a sister, a grown-up young woman, I saw ex • pire shortly after she was extricated, and, in the course of yesterday, their mother and' a second young female died from the injuries they had received. Several of l 3 were hurt, but not dangerously. One family, of eight persons, belonging to the church, escaped with only a few slight bruises, and I am happy to say were all pi e. -•ent in the schoolroom yesterday morning, and re. turned thanks for their merciful preeervation. " The most astonishing effect of the wind I have wit nessed, and which, perhaps, will give you the best notion of its violence, was the bodily moving of St.Thomas's Church, between 2 and 3 inches from north to south, and that se equably, that there is scarcely any difference in the dis lance it has been pushed' along the whole length, in cluding the tower, from east to west. The church does not appear to have received any 'twist,' and so is uniejure.f. Some of the largest stones in the foundation-wall on the south side have been broken in pieces, and I believe it is intended to take th-it wall down, and re • build it under the sill of the dirndl in its new position. It being thought by some that the weight of the congre gation might injure the building, and the seats on the moth side !Ting very wet from the beating in of the rain, there was no service on Sunday ; and in the s fterneon Ile. Blackman preached for me in the school-room. Mr. fuckwell did so in the morning, and said the prayers in the evening, as he could not get out of town, most of the bridges having been carried away, and the roads being otherwise impassable from the immense floods and freshets. The light-house on Cape Spear was swayed backwards and forwards during the gale, being lifted, as the gusts came, an inch or two from its foundations, but It received no serious injury, except from the falling of one of the chimneys, which broke in the roof. Of trees torn up by the roots, and of fences laid prostrate, it were long to tell. The brick houses at the head of the har bour, which were in course of restoration after the fire, also received considerable injury. In the harbour much damage has been done among the shipping and craft; and it is feared that the loss of both property and life along the coast has been great. " At Quidi Vidi several stages and flakes were thrown down by the wind, and the immense rush of water from the lake; and the oil and fish in and on them .were lost. Numbers of boats broke adrift, and were carried out to tea. I regret to say that the chief, if not only, sufferers were among o ur Ch urc h p eo ple. Similar calamities were experienced in the other out-harbours. In the small settlement of Logy Bay eighteen boats were lost; great damage was done at Torbay to craft and fishing-rooms; and at Ponah Cove only one boat and one flake escaped. In short, one history suits all places over which the storm passed—Portugal Cove, Petty Harbour, South Shore, &c. " At Petty Harbour one man was killed and two others dangerously wounded by the fall of a flake. In . the Bay of Balls two young men were killed, and their father, an aged man, so hurt that his life is despaired of, by the falling of the roof of their house or store. In Fleet's Mission a young woman was severely injured by a flake coming down upon her. " Poor Coyle had a most merciful and narrow escape. He was off the Narrows in the height of the gale, but could not attempt to enter, and, as his only resource, had to run his vessel ashore in Freshwater Bay. Providen tially he hit the beach at the head of it, and though with considerable difficulty and risk, all on board, with th e exception of one poor lad, the son and chief support of his widowed mother, and a member of the Church, saved their lives by means of a rope thrown to them from the shore. This lad lost his self-possession, and, as soon as the vessel touched the ground, leaped off the jibboom and was killed. The cabin passengers were Mr. Col bourne and the two Misses Peytono, of Twillingate. The conduct of these young ladies was most heroic. A brig, belonging to Howells, commanded by a Churchman, was driven into and lost at Ponah Cove. One of her crew, an Englishman, perished. Mr. Hoyles and his wife, who, as your Lordship knows, were to have come by Coylo, returned thanks on Sunday fur a providential escape from shipwreck. " Tuesday, Sept. 22.—Sad news has reached us to-day from Renews. The boat has brought the bodies of four drowned men, who perished in endeavouring to escape from their "Jack "in that harbour. They belonged to Port-de-Grave. Many other boats from that place were in Renews during the gale; four, with their crews on board, were driven out to sea; and, it is feared, were lost, a 3 nothing has since been heard or seen of them. " As the storm was so heavy here, you will believe that we thought much of "The Hawk,' and I must confess my faith in Him who preserveth His servants by sea as well as by land was not strong enough to keep me free from all anxiety on account of your Lordship and your companions. Several vessels, which have come in since the gale, encountered fearful weather ; but, from the inquiries we have made from their masters, we are led to hope that the flight of the Saxer ales' had been progressive enough to have car ried her, if not beyond the reach of the storm, yet so near the edge of its circle, that, comparatively, it fell lightly upon her. These vessels were most of them e!ose in upon the land ; the one that was farthest off was only about thirty miles distant, tv.d we calcr. late you had got much further before the gale came on. God grant it ULTho steam which Me im thits noon, about four o'clock, had a stiff breeze on Friday evening, the day she left Halifax ; but Saturday was a beautiful day with her. And in prciof that the extent over which the storm raged was not very great, I have learned from some of our people from Harbour Beaufette, and other parts of Placentia Bay, that the weather there on Saturday was, by comparison, mode rate. How thankful shall we be to hear of and from your Lordship! " Accept, my dear Lord, the assurance of our regard and affection ; and that you are not forgotten in the poor prayers of this family, or in those of your Lord ship's dutiful and faithful son and servant, " THOMAS F. H. BRIDGE. " The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Newfoundland. " P.S. The Western Circuit vessel was lost on one of the French islands ; all on board were saved but one, and they were brought in yesterday from St. Pierre in one of the French steamers. Mr. Roberts reports that the boat in which he had shipped his Grates Cove col ketion of fish was lost, with all her cargo." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Richards, the secretary to the Kentish Coast Rail way, presented himself yesterday to the sitting magis trate, to say a few words in answer to a statement which had been made the day before by Mr. Stokes, whose de ceased father was a shareholder. Mr. Stokes had-repre sented that he had gone to France, and could not be met with. That was not the fact. He had not been on the Continent, nor had he ever contemplated going there ; and ifhe could give Mr. Stokes any information he should be most happy to do so. Like all other parties connected with that railway, he had been a loser, and he was the greatest sufferer by it. The only certificates issued by the company were those signed by him as secretary. Mr. Aldermen MUSGROVE was sorry to hear he had been a severe sufferer, and that he was not the only suf ferer. For himself (Alderman Musgrove), he had from the beginning repudiated all connexion with these pro jects. He had no doubt the newspapers would publish his denial of the statement that ho was not to be found. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, a poor woman named Elridge, living in Porter-street, Newport-market, sought the advice of Mr. Henry under the circumstances detailed below:— A short time ago her husband obtained a situation as driver of one of the carts belonging to the new "Parcels Mail Company," in the Strand, previously paying a deposit of 81., which the " company" required of each of its servants, as a security. He had since applied for his wages, but they were r e f use d on th e pretence that the horse driven by him had sustained some injury by a fall, which they attributed to his carelessness. He then demanded back his 8:. deposit, but the persons in the office only laughed at him. The woman added than she and her husband were in the greatest distress in consequence. She was obliged to pawn nearly all her things to raise the 81., and they were now actually destitute. Mr. HENRY asked if the concern was bankrupt?—The woman did not think that that was the case, as they ap peared to be carrying on the business with the deposits paid by their servants. Mr. HENRY said it certainly was a hard case, but her only remedy was through the Court of Requests. There had been many similar applications to him lately against the same company, and this had suggested to his mind the probability of the concern being insolvent. MA RYL EBONE. William Anderson, alias Macdonald, and Eliza Wright. alias Anderson, alias Macdonald, were placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson for re-examination, charged with having been concerned, in an extensive way, in the manufacture of counterfeit coin. Mr. Powell, the Mint solicitor, was in attendance to conduct the case on the part of the Crown. The evidence gone into upon the first examination was, that on Saturday night last the male prisoner, for whom the police had long been looking, was taken into custody by Inspector Penny and Sergeant Brannan, of the G division, at the Wheatsheaf public-house, Edge ware-road, and that he was then told that he was taken on suspicion of coining in Westminster ; he was con veyed to the Paddington station in a cab, and locked up, and from information which the officers received, they soon afterwards went to No. CO, Devonshire-street, Lis son-grove. Inquiries were made of the landlady, who stated, that a person answering the description of the man Anderson was, with a woman whom she under stood to be his wife, lodging in her back-room on the second floor. The door, which was locked, was then forced open, and in various parts of the apartment were found a quantity of plaster of Paris, a galvanic battery, and a ladle, together with:muchiwhite metal, and in fact, everything which would ba required for carrying on the practice of coining. While the search was going on, the female prisoner, who was not aware of any one being in the room, suddenly entered, when she became exceed ingly confused, and endeavoured to put her hand into her bosom. Brannan, however, laid hold of her hands, and took ft oni her bosom two packets containing 24 coun terfeit fourpenny-pieces. She was extremely violent, and cried out " Murder " several times. After she was locked up, he (Brannan) returned to the house, and be neath the seat of the watercloset inThe yard he disco veeed hanging on a nail, a bag, which had in it some moulds and two spurious half-crowns. Further evidence was gone into criminatory of both the prisoners in the above case, and in addition thereto there was a charge brought against them of having, while lodging together, in the in , nth of June last, in an upper room at 45, Duck-lane, Westminster ' been engaged in their nefarious calling. They had been living at the house in question as man and wife, and when Inspector Penny and Sergeant Brannan searched the place they found in it a large quantity of base coin, consisting of half-crowns' and other coin of different denominations to a consider:lbl° amount, as also moulds, a galvanic bat tery, and other apparatus for coining. The spurious coin, and the other article; referred to, were produced by the officers. It further appeared that the room in which the moulds, &c., were found was not let to the prisoners, but to a man named Wilson, who quitend the place, and nothing with regard to his present residence was known. The prisoners denied that they had ever been the oc cupants of the back room in which the spurious coin, moulds, Inc., were discovered, at the house in Duck-lane. Mr. Powell remarked that there were many circum stances of a very peculiar nature connected with the ease ; and, as it was a matter of public importance, lie should wish for the prisoners to be remanded, in order that time might be afforded him for laying the whole of the facts before the Attorney ; General. Mr. RtWLINSON considered the case sufficiently strong acainst the prisoners to justify him in at once sending them for trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal ['tone, and he should do so if, the accused parties ob ended to a remand. The prisoners did not object to the course suggested sy Mr. Powell, and they according l y stand remanded ill Tuesday next. . • A young man, who gave his name coins. r - . Cummins, meiiichard Smith, was charged with uttering count. rfei residlng at No. 1, Upper Baker stre t, l'orttnttn! a baser,squ are,tated th li a o t , on no t d he a p s r k e e v d iou fo s r ev iz hich h his s' e threw i down a ! i u t p i r n i s p o a n y e i r n e c n a prime for t w o t shilling; he was told it was a bad one, when he said that he was not aware of it, and that he was a respect able tradesman. Other evidence was gone into, showing that just be fore the prisoner went to Mr. Cummins' he had attempted to pass a bad shilling at the Victory public-house in the same street. '1 by magistrate ordered that the prisoner should be put back to await the arrival of Mr. Powell, the Mint solicitor. Mr. Powell, on coming to the Court, was made ac quainted with all that had transpired in reference t o t h e Case, and he declined, on the part of the Mint, to prose cute. The prisoner was again brought in, and Mr. ltawanesure said to the complaining parties, "The Mint won't take this case up; the prisoner must, there fore, be discharged." Mitchell, the gaoler, spoke to the f ac t o f t h e accused having been in custody on a former occasion, and he is now, upon what principle we know not, let oft without punishment, having, of course, an opportunity thereby afforded him of renewing his nefarious practices. WORSHIP-STREE T. Michcel Butler and Charles Dipper, stated by the police to be well-known pickpockets, were placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with having assaulted, with intent to rob, an elderly widow named Esther Lin-' don, living in Willow-street, Shoreditch. The old woman had been spending the evening at the City of London Theatre, and was returning home at a late hour, when she met the two prisoners a short dis tance from her residence, one of 'whom instantly knocked her down by a violent blow in the face, while the other held his baud tightly over her mouth to stifle her cries for assistance. Butler then forced his hand down her bosom, and endeavoured to tear away her watch, which was in a little side pocket, but after giving it a violent wrench, and almost succeeding, the window of an ad joining house was suddenly thrown up, and, seeing that they must be captured if they persisted in their object, they both took to their heels and decamped. Policeman Cross, 217 G, who arrested them in their flight, having proved that they were both notorious characters, who had been several times convicted of offences, Mr. Rayson, a tradesman in King-street, Hackney road, stepped forward and claimed Butler as a late ser vant of his, who had robbed him of several sums of money while in his employment, and absconded, without his being since able to find him. Butler was ordered to be again brought up for the completions of the evidence on Mr. Reyson's charge, but both prisoners were fully committed for trial for the assault and robbery upon Mrs. Linden. LAMBETH. Themes Pim, alias Ilerbert Stanley, alias Peirce, alias Franks, a stout, aged man, who was described in the police-sheet as a "gentleman," was placed at the bar be fore Mr. Norton, on a charge of wilfully forging the name; of Herbert Stanley to a bill of exchange for 631. 4s. ld., with intent to defraud Mr. 'William Ryan, a wholesale stationer, of 10, Merchant's-quay, Dublin. Mr. Ryan, the prosecutor, stated that in the month of April last the prisoner took a paper mill, called Bally lough Mills, near Rathfarnham, in the vicinity of Dub lin, in the name of Herbert Stanley ; and soon after he was introduced to him (Mr. Ryan) by his landlord, who was a particular friend of his, as Mr. Stanley, a gentle man of considerale property from London, who had taken the mills, and who was abut to carry them on with great spirit. Soon after this he (Mr. Ryan) did some business with the prisoner, and the latter being in his debt to the amount of 68/.48. ld., desired him to draw a bill for three months for that sum, and he would acc e pt it. Wit ness accordingly drew the bill, and the prisoner accepted it in his counting-house, in the name " Herbert Stanley." Soon after this witness came to London, and in converse- London: Printed and Published by tion with a friend inquired if he knew any person in the Strand, Printer, at The Sun °Mee, of the Savoy, l a ;Countytie vr paper trade named "Herb er t S tan l e y."
