I'm open, in all my display I The glory of trade and the pride of my (lay. _ I'm open in vastness, and splendour, and none Can equal the warehouse of MOSES and SON. Say, ye who have seen me triumphantly rise, If I mov'd not your hearts with a thrill of surprise, Say, say what you thought, when in wonder you cast Your eyes on my building so costly, ro vast I And say what you thought when you heard the glad shout In honour of MOSES, within and without. ' Proclaim my vast triumphs wherever you go That others may see, and that others may know. I'm open I I'm open ! but net to delude With empty attractions and vain magnitude. I'm open to publish what wonders are done By the dauntless projectors, E. MO-ES and SON. My vastness of building is nought but a proof Of vast speculations beneath my wide roof. The extent of mv houses proclaims, you must know , Extensive advantage to high and to low. Bright prospects (if rightly observed) will appear On the g ittering globes of each bright chandelier. On the pillars of marble, this truth is display'd : " R. MOSES and SON are the pillars of trade." The glasses which double all objectirreflected speak loudly of double advantage effected. Ev'ry room which the monarch-like warehouse displays Some hint of tmportance—some meaning conveys. I'm open ! I'm open ! well stor'd with attire, Whose -tyle and materials all svill admire. - I'm open, with cutters, whose elegant taste Has nothing defective and n , thing misplac'd. I'm open to carry out MOSES endeavour In selling you articles cheaper than ever. I'm open to do more than ever I've done ; I'm open to hOnour E. MOSES and SON. I'm open with cheapness, choice cloth, and choice cut, And while such la the case, I shall never be shut.

I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards tgok two Pills at a dose twice in the, day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest Inconvenience. I found in a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought 1 must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your tills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills.

(From the Carlisle Journal of Saturday.) We have this week the opportunity of presenting to our readers a very " remarkable' petition. In the House of Commons last week, a petition for " Pro tection to British Industry" was presented by Lord George Bentinck, purporting to be from " 3,000 persons engaged in the cultivation of land in tke eastera division of Cumber land;" and amongst those who had signed it Lord George asserted that " with the exception of those engaged on one farm, Cubby Hill)" it had received the signatures of " every one of the tenants of his Right Hon. Friend, the Laird of Netherby Hall (Sir James Graham), praying the House to reject the measures of the Government." The accounts add that " the presentation of the petition created a considerable sensation." Well, when we consider that the Eastern Division of Cum berland contains upwards of 5,000 electors—that the petition had been hawked from farm-stead to farm-stead to catch the important signature of each stable-boy—that every village school had contributed its quota of names—the wonder is, not that there were' 3,000, but that there were not 10,000 signatures. The result which the fact furnishes—supposing the 3,000 were bond fide signatures is, that not one-tenth of the electors had signed the petition. But, when we show, as we shall do presently, that in innumerable instances the signatures were not bona fide—that they were either for geries, downright frauds upon the Legislature, or had no existence at all—the utter worthlessness of the peti tion as a representation of public opinion or public feeling must be manifest. Of course Lord George Bentirek merely followed his brief—stating . only what he had been told by those who instructed him ; but his instructor must have known the falsehood he was trying to play off upon the House and the country; and if Lord George be an honest man, he will denounce his betrayer to the world. Sipe time previous to the Protection petition being sent off, we heard of the fraudulent way in which signatures had been filached to it; but we could not believe that any one who h the le st value for his character, as a Oan of honesty and trnt uld venture 'to instruct a House of roclaim a falsehood ; NlJember of the I and we, therefore, declined es owe had beard until s i tplett 1 the proof was undoubted That proof we have now before us, in the form of a petition to Parliament, signed by one hundred and fourteen of Sir James Graham's tenants, pray ing for a total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws, and deenuncing the statement of Lord George Bentinck as an untruth ! The tenantry on the Netherby estate is probably one of the most• intelligent bodies of agriculturists in the kingdom, and the indignation with which they read Lord George Ben tinck's misrepresentation of their feelings and opinions may easily be conceived. To be held up to the world as selfish* monopolists, caring only for their own interests, and as so ignorant as not to know that in freedom of trade is their only true protection,must have been galling beyond measure. A meeting was immediately held amongst a few of the most influential of them, and a petition drawn up which received the signatures of not less than 114 of the tenants in less than two days. There was not time to see the farmers in what are called the " out manors " of Sir James Graham's estate, or the number would have been swelled considerably. A few of the parties who have signed have attached to their names the amount which they pay in rent. These amounts will speak for themselves as to the interest which the peti tioners possess in the land, and show how little intelligent men fear competition with foreigners. The total amount of rent paid by the petitioners is, we believe, somewhere about 15,0001. per annum—nearly three-fourths of the whole rental of Sir James's estate. Here then is ample proof of the grossness of the frauds practised upon the House by what are called "Protection" petitions ; and we shall be much surprised if this exposure of the utter worthlessness of the East Cumberland petition in favour of " Protection to native industry" do not create a " sensation" much more " considerable" than that created by Lord George Bentinck's most untruthfel statement. We subjoin a copy of this remarkable petition, with a few of the names attached to it; and it is proper we should add that neither Sir James Graham nor his steward had the slightest knowledge that such a petition was in agitation. The first intimation Sir James will have of its existence will be its presentation to the House by Mr. Cobden, who was selected for this_honour, not less as a com pliment to hall for his great services to the country as a real "farmer's friend," than to show that it was by no in fluence or dictation of their landlord that the farmers on " the Laird of Netherby Hall's" estate have thus come for ward to vindicate their claim to be considered men of com mon sense end intelligence. The petition was sent to Mr. Cobden on Thursday, and would probably be presented to the House last night. The following is a copy : " To the Honourable the Commons in Parliament assembled. " The petition of the undersigned the tenants of the Right Honourable Sir J. IL G. Graham, Baronet, M.P., on the estate of Netherby, in the county of Cumberland, a Sheweth,—That your petitioners are a class of men not accustomed to dabble in politics, but at the same time on this most important crisis cannot refrain from expressing their undivided opinion on the great measure now before your Honourable House ; that they view the measure of the Go vernment with the greatest satisfaction, but cannot refrain from saying that total and immediate repeal would still more heartily have met their approbation. "We beg also to state to your Honourable House, that the assertion made by Lord George Rentinck on the presenta tion of a petition from East Cumberland in favour of protec tion to agriculture, that the whole of the farmers on the Netherby estate, with one exception, had signed that peti tion, is erroneous and unfounded in fact. " That some few of such farmers did sign the petition is true ; but they now regret having done so, and admit that they were induced to sign it in an unguarded moment, whilst the names of others were attached to it without their knowledge or consent. " That your petitioners look upon the great measure pro posed by Government as wise, generous, and healing; and therefore pray your Honourable House to pass it into a law as speedily as possible. " And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray. Rent.

ACCIDENT TO A RAILWAY TRAIN AT PADDINGTON. —On Wednesday night an accident occurred at the Paddington ter minus of the Great Western Italway, which, although fortunately unattended with loss of life several carriages were rendered unser viceable, and a few passengers sustained slight injuries, in conse quence of the down mail having come into collision with a train of empty carriages. It appears that the porters were forming the early morning trains, and for that purpose the Pollux engine was employed to propel the empty carriages across the down line. This engine not having sufficient power, a messenger was dis patched for the assistance of a more powerful locomotive, and to stop the mail, but not having sufficient time, the mail train had started before the carriages could be got clear off the line. The con sequence was, that the Hydra engine, belonging to the mail train came into violent collision with them, breaking two first-class car riages, two second-class, and two vans, and causing serious injury to the amine, which was thrown off the line. The guard of her Majesty's mails received an injury in his head, but proceeded Cheltenham. A few of the passengers sustained bruises. After an hour's delay, theline Iran cleared, and the train proceeded, propelled by the PUVllinints. FATAL SHIPWRECK. BRIGHTON, MARCH 25,—The papers of Monday reported the loss of a sloop which had foundered about three miles oft Shoreham harbour during the night of Saturday, leaving the mast above water; and added an expression of apprehension that the whole of the crew had been lost, unless taken off by the Menai steamer, which left the harbour for Dieppe at day break on Sunday Morning. • The Menai returned to Brighton this morning, and we now learn that five lives were lost when the vessel foundered, and that only one of the hands escaped, being taken off the rigging, as was conjectured. The vessel turns out to be the Bee, of Goole, bound from Port land to London, with stone for the British Museum. She was a sloop, or " billy-boy," and had on board John Johnson, of Nottingly, Yorkshire (the captain), his wife, and their son, a fine boy of eight years of age, William Allwood (the mate). James Allen Cole (seaman), and Frances Noster (an apprentice). The vessel left Portland on Wednesday night, and was off Littlehampton at two o'clock on Satur day. The wind was then blowing a brisk gale, which in creased in strength up to ten o'clock, when the captain fi•id • ing himself to the eastward of Newhaven stood westward, in order to make Shoreham harbour. On arriving off the harbour at half-past one o'clock in the morning, he found that there was not enough water to admit the vessel, and he therefore cast anchor, with an intention of riding oat the storm till day-break. Soon after this, however, he found that the vessel was making water vary fast, and he had just remarked that he must either slip the chain or get out the boat, when the vessel veered, fell broadside over, and then gradually filled and went down. The captain and crew were all engaged with the sails at the moment, and all of them, except the mate, together with the captain's wife and child, perished. The mate was at the bowsprit at the moment, clearing the jib, and hearing the woman scream and teeling the ship to be sinking, he let go of the bow sprit, and as the vessel grounded in six fathom water, he was carried into the rigging, and secured himself in the crosstrees. The scream of the wife was the only sound that met his ears, except the roaring of the wind and water. For two hours he remained in his perilous situation, when, the tide rising, the sea began to break over him, and lie then mounted to the topsail yard, till the Menai, on leaving the harbour, sent out her boat and released him from his perilous situation in a state of the utmost exhaustion. He was treated with the greatest kindness by Captain Good man durind the voyage to Dieppe and back, and a subscrip tion is now being raised to send him home to Yorkshire. From him we learn that the captain had another child, four years of age, with its grandmother at Nottingly, who is the owner of the vessel. THE GRAIN TRADE IN LIVERPOOL.—Large quantities of Indian corn have beets released from bond in the course of the -past week. Several additional cargoes are expected shortly. The corn merchants now treat this description of grain in their transactions as a free article, the prices men tioned being understood to include the Is. duty. Consider able importations of buckwheat are expected, and prepara tions are in progress for grinding it at the rice mills. There has been a great demand lately for certificates. These, it may be necessary to explain, are the documents given to bakers when they lodge flour for export, they being per mitted to release a corresponding quantity of corn free from duty. The certificates are generally sold to dealers at a price somewhat below the duty. The demand for them indicates declining stocks, and a necessity for taking grain out of bond for consumption.—Lirerpag Albion. DEATH OF SIR CHARLES J. ANDERSON, BART. — The above venerable Baronet expired on Tuesday last, at Lea Hall, near Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, at the advanced age of 78 years. The deceased was in holy orders. DRAGoNETTL—We regret to learn that this patriarch of eosstra-bassi still remains severely indisposed. MEHEMtT ALI AND SIR JOHN PIRIE.—ALEXANDRIA, Mancu 10.—Sir John Pirie has had several interviews with the Viceroy en the subject of the transit threugh Egypt. He first met the Pacha at the town of Minieh, in the upper country, where he was very hospitably received by his Highness, who invited him to dinner on board his steamer, and sat at the head of the table between Lady Pirie and Mrs. Davidson, the wife of the superintendent of the Peninsula and Oriental Company. Kr John Pirie presented to the Pacha a gold medal, struck in comme moration of the opening of the London Royal Exchange, with which mark of attention his Highness was much pleased, and immediately put it over his shoulders. This medal is ene of two only which were made of the same description on the occasion of the opening of the Royal Exchange ; one was for Prince Albert, the other for Sir John Pink, as Lord Mayor. Sir John Pirie found the Viceroy very firm on the subject of keeping the transit through Egypt entirely in his own hands ; he, however, ob tained from his Highness the engagement that Europeans, and Englishmen in preference, should be employed to direct the affairs of the Company.— Corregpohdent of the Times. Thursday evening a general meeting of the Comm; tee of Management of the Hospital for Consuniptlon and Diseases of the Chest was held at the Chelsea Hospital. From the statement given it appears that with regard to the new building at Brompton, th•it the west wing is now externally completed. The amount of contract for the erection of that portion of the building, together with the terrace in front, is 11,762/. • the expense of inclosing the ground with iron railing fixed in granile, and other necessary expenses con nected with the building, is 1,1141. To meet these charges the sum of 8,1541. has be-n received. The estimated cost of furnishing the hospital is about 1,500/., towards which the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Durham has offered to contribute 50/., providing nine other subscriptions of a similar sum can be obtained. SUSPICIOUS CASE OF CHILD MURDER.—On Thursday evening an inquest was held before W. Carter, Esq.. at the Hero of Waterloo Tavern, Waterloo-road, Lambeth, on the body of a newly born male child, found near Waterloo-bridge. On Monday nightlast, about eight o'clock, a waterrnan, named Thomas Hosier, saw a parcel lying on the logs near Waterloo-bridge. Ile found that it contained the body of a ma'e child. The wrapper consisted of an old apron and a newspaper, which he imprudently threw away. The body was conveyed to Mr. Andersen, the summonihg-officer, into whose cus tody it was given. Mr. F. Dawson, surgeon, of Francis-street, said that he examined the body and found a considerable swelling of the right eye and cheek. The skull bones were completely crushed and broken in. The lungs and viscera were quite healthy and fully de veloped. The liver was lacerated in two places. He had no doubt the deceased had been horn alive, and the injuries appeared to have been inflicted after birth, and were evidently the results of violence. The Coroner, finding that an important witness was not in attend ince. aajourned the inquiry until Tuesday next. `IsHE MELopiwks.—This club, which was established _ _ In 1825, for the encouragement of melody and ballad composition, dined on Thursday at the Freemasons' Tavern, when several songs and glees were sung by a host of vocalists, and soli on the pianoforte and concertina were executed by Mr. W.

EDUCATION IN. WALES.—On Thursday evening, a meeting of gentlemen connected with Wals, and interested in its social advancement, was held at the City of London Literary and Scientific Institution, for the purpose of maturing plans, which have been for some time under consideration, for extending popular educa • tion throughout that country. It was resolved to ferm a society to be called " The Cambrian Educational Societ - , for promoting the Establishment of Day-schools in Wales, on the Principles of the British and Foreign School Society." The revelations which have been lately made respecting the condition of the principality, show the necessity of adopting without delay some efficient measures for the purpose of giving to that country, chiefly by means of its own exertions, the benefits of a sound education on non sectarian and Scriptural principles. In the movements about to be made, care, it is very properly determined, will be taken not to interfere, but to co operate, with all existing efforts for meeting the intellectual and moral wants of Cambria.

That every person keeping any such billiard or bagatelle table without being licensed for the house where it is so kept, and also every person licensed under this Act who shall not, during the continuance of such billiard licence, put and keep up the words, " Licensed for billiards," legibly printed, in some conspicuous place near the door and on the outside of the house specified in the license, shall-be liable to be proceeded against as the keeper of a common gaming-house ; and be sides any penalty or punishment to which lie ma) be liable, if convicted, of keeping a common garbling-house, shall, on conviction of keeping such unlicensed billiard table, bagatelle board, or other instrument before a magistrate or two justices, be liable to flay such penalty, not more than 101., for every day on which such table or board shall be used, or on the discretion of the magistrate or justices, may be committed to the House of Correction. with or with out hard labour, for any time not snore than oue calendar month, and in default of payment of a fine or costs, the goods of a defendant may be sold.

MARCH :30, 1846. PRICE 5D NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TH I.IISDAY. Captain Moubray, of the Victory, is appointed by Lord Ellenborough to Greenwich Hospital, vice Pasco, resigned. Lord Ellenborough could not have found a more worthy and deserving officer, on whom to confer his patronage, than Captain Moubray. He was mate of the Jam), in her escape from Toulon, in Mit, and was at the sieges of St. Fiorenzo and Bastia ; senior lieutenant of the Moselle, in Hotbam's first action ; and, when attached to Nelson's squadron, in co-operation with the Austrian army. He was senior lieutenant of the Poly phemus at the battle of Trafalgar; Commander of the Rhodian and the Moselle in 1809-13, employed in charge of . a small-squadron protecting the Bahamas. His commisions bear date, Lieutenant, May 27, 1794; Commander, Dec. 24, 1805; Captain, August 12, 1812. Captain Moubray was ap pointed to the Victory as Captain of the Ordinary at this port on the 23d of September, 1544. The Lively lighter, Bee, steam-tender, and . the floating -- fire-engine were undocked yesterday morning, and the blocks prepared, as it was supposed, for the reception of the St. Vincent. This supposition was further confirmed by that ship's crew commencing the work of partially dis • mantling her, preparatory to docking the same afternoon, and by the Victorious hulk being hauled alongside for the recep tion of her crew this morning. It seems, however, the authorities had again changed their minds, and resolved, that the Bellerophon, 78, should have the first turn, and she was accordingly .docked. The St. Vincent is to be docked on Saturday, on the removal of the Bellerophon, which latter vessel Itas only gone in to have her copper examined, prior to restoring her to her former moorings. It teas in tended to have brought the Retribution steam-frigate, Captain S. Lushington, into the •harbour again, and have docked her, to clean her copper to-day, for which purpose her powder was removed yesterday afternoon; but the vessel containing it had scarcely entered the harbour, when an order was dispatched to Spithead, signifying that she was not to come in, and the powder and shells were to ho taken on board again. The Rattler steam-sleop, 5, Commander H. Smith (b), ar rived here from Plymouth yesterday evening, and came into the harbour.. The Superb, 80, Captain A. L. Corry, arrived this morning with marines belonging to this and the Chatham division from Cork, under the command of Lieutenant•;Colonel D. Ballingall. They were disembarked by means of the Comet and Echo steamers and Drake lighter, and marched to bar racks. Those for Chatham will leave to-morrow morning at seven o'clock, per special train, on the South-Western Railway. It is generally understood and believed that the St. Vin cent will receive a similar doctoring to that given to the Rodney, namely, additional gripe and false stern post ; to this will be added an additional false keel, the whole conse quent on Sir Samuel Pym's report that she was " crank and leewardly," these alterations being calculated to diminish such defects. The Viper, 6, Lieutenant-Commander Grey, was spoken on the 9th instant, in her passage to Bermuda, in latitude 89, longitude, 22, with damage to sails, rigging, and spars, hal-L ing encountered a hurricane on the 25th ult. The Flying Fish, 12. Commander Harris, was lying at Whydale, all well, on the 13th of January. She bad taken one prize—a brigantine, which she had sent to St. Helena for edjudication. A private letter says, " A few days previously a long low schooner was seen off the bar, but she by some means got intimation of our proximity, and stood out to sea. Our boats are now away looking after her." The Prometheus steam-sloop, Commander Hay, arrived at Ascension on the 3d ult. from the Bight of Benin, with a prize brigantine, which she bad captured a few days before, making the 13th prize to this fortunate vessel since she bas been on the coast, not quite two years. All well on board. A shocking accident occurred yesterday morning at the contract works for the steam-basin in the dockyard. A chain guy of one of the derricks, which are used for lowering or raising the stones, broke, and the end striking one of the carpenters who was at work near it, named Cooke, dashed in his skull and killed him instantly, precipitating his body at the same time into the bottom of the excavation, about 26 feet deep. Another man, a labourer, was also thrown over at the same time, and. was taken up in a senseless state, and conveyed to Hasler Hospital immediately. He is much bruised, but no bones are broken, and he is doing well. The deceased had not been more than a fortnight in Mr. Rolt's employ. He was a native of Petersfield, about 28 years of age, and has left a widow and one child, an infant. The Bth (King's Own) regiment received orders this morn ing to hold themselves in readiness to embark on the shortest notice from this port on foreign service. WOOLWICH, MASCH 26.—The Adder war schooner, be longing to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, left Woolwich on Monday on her return to Flushing. The Monkey steam-vessel, Master Commandet William Bryant, has returned to Woolwich from Portsmouth, and went up the river yesterday to Deptford, and returned in the afternoon. Although condemned at Portsmouth, she will still be found useful as a river tug-boat, or for short distances at sea; but she is not adapted for long voyages, as she can only take extra coals by stowing them on deck, which is s of a safe place for them in such a small steam-boat in severe weather. The Porcupine steam-vessel, Captain Bullock. left Wool wich this morning for Ireland, and will be engaged on the same service as the Monkey was to be engaged in—the con veyance of grain from one port in Ireland to others in the vicinity of places suffering from the want of that com modity. Lieutenant Rutherford has been appointed to the Devas tation steam-vessel, and she is getting ready for. sca with dispatch. The Polyphemus steam-vessel, recently returned from Malta, is refitting at Woolwich, and is ordered to be made ready for sea immediately. She is in the dock having her copper stripped, and the men employed in making her masts are working over hours to expedite them. The Lightning steam-vessel reached Woolwich at half-past eight o'clock yesterday evening, from attending on the Terri ble war steamer, and left this morning with stores to be put on board that vessel. It is worthy of remark that the engine rooms of the Terrible are well ventilated, and yesterday were very cool during the experimental trip. The entrances to the furnaces being on the sides instead of across the ves sel is an advantage, as they give more room and far less heat than when under the stations of the engineers when working the engines. The contractors for the east slip in the Woolwich Dock yard are removing their materials, the works being now finished, and preparations are to be immediately made for laying the keel of the Nankin 50-gun frigate, designed by Mr. Lang, junior-assistant to the master shipwright at Chatham. Three hundred Royal Marines of the Chatham division, from Ireland, are to disembark this afternoon at Portsmouth, and proceed to-morrow morning from Gosport by the South ampton Railway to Nine-elms. Two steam-packets of the Woolwich Company have been engaged to convey them from Nine-elms to Gravesend, en route to Chatham. RAILWAY RETURNS.

On Tuesday morning last, at an early hour, the deceased was suddenly seized with violent pain, and rushing into her mistress's room she exclaimed, " Oh, have been a wicked shiner, and God Almighty has placed his heavy hand upon me." She was placed in bed, where she was seen by Mr. Jones, a surgeon, under whose care she remained until elevoi o'clock the same night, 'when she expired. In the d e ceased's pocket was found a paper of tobacco, and und er her bed a pipe. The second inquiry was held before Mr. W.

STEAM-BOAT AMALGAMATION.—It has been proposed to amalgamate the Waterman's Steam-boat Company with the City Steam-boat Company, under one directory, and the proposition has been favourably received by the board of directors 01 both cont. putt.. (From Woolmer's Exeter Gazette of Saturday.) On Tuesday afternoon Mr. James Partridge, a solicitor, -residing in Tiverton, and who was one of the coroners of the county of Devor, committed suicide by throwing himself into the Tiverton Canal, near Tidcombe bridge. Just before fire o'clock the deceased was observed 'walking through Gold-street, in the direction of the canal, and was accosted by several persous, to whom he replied with affability, and . even with blandnesS, nor was anything unusual observed in his manner. About half-past five o'clock Mr. William Hepper, of Tiverton, gardener, who was engaged at Tid— combe, the seat of the Rev. W. Rapt, ou looking out of the window of the garden-house, saw the deceased walking on the banks of the canal towards Halberton. Near Tid combe-bridge he stopped and looked about him for a niinute or two, and then walked towards an opening in the bank. -and there went down to the water. Ile then took hisliat froM his head and placed it upon the Surface of the water, and immediately walked into the middle of the . canal. His head, however,' was not entirly Itnikr water, but his bald crown appeared alove the surf:ce and remaiucd dry. Mr. Hepper immediately came out of the . .r . ardeii-botise, and with a person named Stephen witiqn he called to his assistance, proceeded to the: canal. :ere they found they could _do nothing', as neither of than could swim r.d Mr. Hepper then ran back to the house to gut better acre. Abimt twenty mitmtes after the deccasEd bad walked into the water, William CaKw Riyer, E q., rout of the .Rev. W. Bayer, arrived, and imutedintl V swam in and brought the deceased to the canal bank. I.7ntier the direction, and with the assistance of Mr. Raper, the. body was conveyed to Tidcombe !louse, and a messenger dispatched for medical assistance. About twenty minutes afterwards, P. Mackenzie, Esq., surgeon, of Tiverton, arrived and applied every means for - restoring animation, but without success. J. F. Coward, Esq., surgeon, of Tiverton, also attended in a few minutes afterwards. The body was sub.sequentiv brought, home to the late residence of the deemed in liampton-street, Ti verton. . , On Wednesday afternoon the inquest on the body took place, befort E. Mackenzie, Esq., coroner for the borough. The jury returned a verdict of Temporary Insanity.... The immediate causes which worked. on the mind of the deceased, and induced him to commit the rash act, - have Le en variously stated. But it is-certain that .for some time past his affairs have been embarrassed, and his failure in some legal proceedings with reference to valuable landed property in the vicinity of Tiverton, it is said, would haNe involved bins in ruin: He has been recently disposing of various por tions of his property; and' on issuing the hand-bill for the sale of some houses or land at Taunton, he is said to have dated the bill three weeks after the day of sale, end to have refused to Kiter it when informed that it was an error. The determination to commit suicide has, no doubt, been present in his mind for some time; as about a mouth ago be applied to Mr. Frost, of Tiverton, druggist, for halfa phial of prussic acid. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK OF THE SCHOONER BALIUS. LIVERPOOL, Karim 26.—The late severe gales have been very destructive to the shipping from the port of Liverpool, and many vessels have not been heard of since their em barkation. Among many others, 'there has been for the lust three weeks great solicitude for the fate of the scheonzr called the Balius, the property of Messrs. Stockdale and SonS. It was known that she left Kingston, Jamaica, in January, and twenty-three days having elapsed beyond the time in which she had commonly made the voyage, she was given over for lost. The appearance of the master, Captain Pendle bury, who has just arrived in the ship Clyde, from Fayal, one of the Azores, has revealed her melancholy fate. It appears that the Balius left Kingston on the 20th of January, deeply laden with rice, spices, hides, and dye-woods. She had a full crew, consisting of fourteen persons, and or.e passenger, a young female, named Hazleden, daughter of Mr. Ilazleden, the manager of the Woodside Ferry across the Mersey, from Liverpool to Birkenhead. Almost immediately after leaving port they experienced an unceasing succession of strong westerly gales, with heavy rains. On the sth the wind blew more southerly, and, with such violence, that at times it was a complete hurricane, with rain, and thnnder and lightning of the most tremend ous description. The continual rush of water on deck, the labouring of the vessel, and the violence of the gale, kept the crew constantly at work. On the 13th, they shipped a heavy sea while lying to, which carried away part of the bulwarks, three stancheors, and the house used for steering. They lost at the same time the bowsprit, shrouds., spritsail-yard, fore-staysail, and the foresail was split. On the 14th the weather moderated, and temporary bulwarks were fitted; and the vessel bcre up under the fore-topsail, close reefed, It continued blowing very hard, and in the evening the tempest returned with the most fearful fury, accompanied by thunder and flashes of lightning, awfully vivid; the topsail and main-staysail were blown out of the belt-ropes, and the sea carried away the temporary bulwarks, and made a complete breach over her. ' The next morning the wind moderated a little, and the crew succeeded in bending a new mainsail, which, however, - they were obliged to keep close reefed, and repaired the top sail. From this date to the 25th they were compelled to run almost helpless before the gale, and on that day the carpenter, cook, and Thomas Vale, a seaman, became unable, from sickness, to perform any duty; and the rest of the crew were nearly exhausted from constant labour and watching. On the 26th, a tremendous sea struck her on the starboard side, and swept the decks of all the bulwarks, stancheons, boats, spars, provisions, water and galley, and split the covering board on the larboard side, the wind at the same time completely blowing the belly out of the mainsail. Captain I'endlebury and four of his hands were washed over board. Two of the men succeeded in catching hold of some thing, and were hauled in by the mate and carpenter oVer the quarter, a third was washed into the jells-boat, which was towing astern, and was saved. The fourth, Thomas Vale, was not seen again.. Captain I'endlebury caught hold of the main sheet, and he was hauled on board again at the moment his strength was failing. Five feet of water was now discovered in the bola, and two men were kept constantly at the lumps. They rigged a drag to keep the ship's head on to the sea, and tried to fill the holes on deck occasioned by the earning away. of the stancheons. Part of the cargo was also heaved overboard. us it had shifted. The nigbi, was aaul f.ggy ; but at three A. 51, on the 28th February, it cleared a little, and they discovered a piece of laud, which turned out to be Castello Branco, a reef on the south side of the island of Fayal, the chief of the Azores. At the distance of about a mile, the surf broke with fear ful violence on the cliffs 300 feet high ; and they were then sailing straight for them. The vessel was in the midst of a sort of bight, one arm of which was formed by the Castello Branco, and the other by a high ridge of rocks called Vara douro, a point which, it they could have weathered, they would have driven safely into the port of Fayal. They had, however, no sail to set except a foresail, every other rag of canvass having been lost or carried away; and each tack brought them nearer their destruction. The energies of the captain and his crew, however, did not desert them ; and they tried to get up a flying jib for a mainstaysail, in order, if possible, to keep off till daylight; and they hove round three times. The wind, however, with the exception of a brief lull, which did them more harm than good, blew fast and furious towards the dreadful cliffs, and the still morn fearful surf, and at about five o'clock the unfortunate vessel struck with great violence stern foremost ; she then tamed, and her side came against the rock, beating so fearfully that it was evident she must be broken up almost instantly. The condition of Miss Hazleden during this violent and long-continued hurricane was truly deplorable, but the un fortunate girl behaved with great fortitude and resignation. She was very anxious to keep the deck, but as that was im possible in its unprotected state, she spent the dreadful hours below. From the time the crew found they could not escape she was frequently observed on her knees making her peace with heaven. When the ship struck she rushed up to the (leek, but she had hardly set a foot upon it when a tremen dous sea washed her overboard. The sailors, with the ex ception of Samuel Scott, all reached the rocks in safety, but in a most deplorable state, the waves having stripped every particle of clothing from several, and half denuded the others. They then had to scramble a mile over the most precipitous and dangerous cliffs before they reached the country. The body of Miss Hazleden was observed in the surf and rescued at great risk by the captain and one of his seamen. The poor girl's head was fractured in a dreadful manner, and every particle of clothing had been torn off her by thefury of the waves. ^ . AMERICAN IcE.—A vessel called the America, arrived in the St. Katherine's Dock, two or three days since, from Boston, United States, having on board, with the exception of 28 boxes of provisions, a cargo consisting entirely of ice, amounting to the im mense quantity of 460 tons weight. SUPPOSED MURDER AT BIRSIINGUAM, MARCH 2i.— At the public office this morning, three men, named Sanders, Freeth, and Ileeley, were brought before the sitting magistrates, on suspicion of being connected with the death of a mun named Charles Edwards, a lock-keeper, living in Caroline-street, supposed by some to have been murdered. Mr. Stevens, superintendent of police, addressing the magistrates, said, on Thursday morning last the body of a man was found near a lock in the Fazeley Canal, about a mile from Bir mingham with a deep gash across his face, and a number of bruises on his body.

The magistrates ordered the prisoners to be kept in custody until the coroner's inquest, which, it is expected, will take place to-morrow (saturday). The deceased has left a widow and family to mourn his less.

Cowper, M.P., Mr. Childers, M.P., Mr. Colquhoun, M.P., Signor elect', &c. The lion. NV. Cowper, in moving a resolution expressive of sympathy with the distressed Italians, drew a frightful picture of their forlorn and destitute position, secluded as they were from their native homes, without any prospect of gaining a livelihood here. equal to that of forded to the poorest of our own countrymen. They were sent out In the morning, after eating a scanty breakfast, receiving strict injunc tions not to return until they collected two shillings, and then they had a miserable supper, consisting chiefly of offal. Signor Baffaelle Clocel seconded the resolution, which was carried, as %ere others In accordance, after which the meeting separated. A letter from Setif announces the death of the Caid Ben Anani, one of the native chiefs most devoted to France. Like Ahmed El Annabi, Caid of the Seltaouas, who was assassinated a few months ago in the environs of Coestantina, Ben Anent fell from the fire of an ambuscade laid for him by some Kabyles who frequent the market of Setif. Thus, in less than six months, three deals ap pointed by the French, and entirely devoted to their interioits, have been Ruminated. —Galkinani.
