STOCK EXCHANGE.-The depression on railway stock still con unties, and even the best description, in the face of an increased traffic upon the corresponding period of last year, suffer in proportion; in fact, the mania now appears to be for discount, instead of, as formerly, for premiums. A meeting of shareholders in the East Coast was this day held in the room of the Stock Exchange, when it was unanimously resolved to Memorialise the directors to abandon the scheme, and return the balance of the deposits to the scrip holders, and, in case of non-compliance with the memorial, it was re soiN ed that a petition be presented to Parliament to prevent its fur ther progress. A conversation afterwards took place, which resulted in a determination to call a public meeting to consider the propriety of petitioning the Legislature to withhold its sanction to any schemes but such as are really called for by the public exigency.

EDUCATION IN WALES.—On Thursday evening, a meeting of gentlemen connected with Wales, and interested in its social advancement, was held at the City of London Literary and Scientific Institution, for the purpose of maturing la plans, which have been for some time under consideration, for extending popur educa lion throughout that country. It was resolved to form a society to be called "The Cambrian Educational Society, 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 educati o n on no n-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 i n t e ll ec tual an d moral wants of Cambria.

An Extraordinary Gazette was published last evening, containing the Official Dispatches of Sir H. Hardinge, Sir H. Gougb, and Sir H. Smith, detailing the proceed ings of the army of the Sutlej from the 22d December, 1845, the day after the victory of Ferozshah, to the 30th January, 1846, two days after the victory of Aliwal. The first dispatch given is the general order cf the Governor General, dated Camp Ferozepore, Feb. 2,1846, announcing the victory of Aliwal, which has already appeared in the Sun. Then comes the following:— General Sir llugh Gough, Bart., G.C.8., Commander-in• Chief in India, to the Governer-General. Camp, Nihalkee, Feb. 1, 1846. (Extract.) After its final repulse, on the 22d of December, the Seikh army retired, in great confusion, across the ferries and fords of the Sutlej. I established my head quarters at Sultan Khan Walla on the 24th, my divisions being encamped at that place, at Peer Khan Walla, and at Kool. On the 27th, I advanced to Hur ruff ; and, the same day, personally pushed a reconnoissance to the banks of the River, at the Ghat of Sobraon. The enemy was seen stretching along the right bank in force, not more than half-a-dozen of his stragglers being sur prised by our irregular cavalry on this side. Major-General Sir Harry Smith's division I placed in an advanced position, with its right on the village of Mallowal, and its left on a nullab, an offset from the Sutlej. From this point the enemy was watched by the Major- General with equal activity and circumspection, whilst the the rest of our troops were held in hand ready to support him, should the Seikhs venture to resume the initiative. On or ::bout the 6th, out 'attention was directed to a pre datory incursion of the enemy, in the direction of Looffiana. They burnt a few of the residences of our officers, and bar racks of our soldiers, at that station, but avoided the combat, when the Sirmoor battalion, and other troops, interrupted them in the work of destruction. Rumour exaggerated the nature and extent of this inroad, and excited some alarm for our communications ; but the object of this foray was, eventually, discovered to be for the purpose of favouring the escape, across the Sutlej, of the Raja of Ladwa, who had alone, of all the principal princes and chiefs of the Protected States, evinced towards us, at this conjuncture, decided hostility. With him, the predatory Seikhs recrossed the Sutlej. On the 12th of January, I determined to bring my whole force into a position, from which it might more closely ob serve the movements of the enemy, now posted near the greater Sobraon, on the right bank. At an early hour, it executed an oblique movement to its right and front. Major- General Sir Harry Smith, supported by a cavalry brigade, under Brigadier Cureton (recently brought up, from Meerut) was, in his new alignment, still on the right, opposite to Hurreke Puttun ; Major-General Gilbert in the centre, and Major-General Sir Robert Dick on the left, covered again by cavalry. Major-General Sir John Grey, posted at Attaree, watched the Nuggur ford. The troops of Major-General Sir John Littler occupied, or were drawn around, the canton ment and entrenchment of Ferozepore. The enemy, on his side, reinforced his army on the right bank ; completed and strengthened his bridge, and increased the force of his posts and picquets on the left bank. These parties having, on the 14th, evinced more than usual audacity, I caused that body of his infantry which held the head of the bridge, to be driven in by the fire of artillery and rockets, supported by the presence of our light troops. On the following day, a partial cannonade, which was again opened, on our side, upon the boats of the Seikhs, on their outposts on the left bank, and their encampment on the right, enabled me to ascertain, from the direction of their corresponding fire, the nature of all their defensive dis positions. Meanwhile, the upper Sutlej has become the scene of very interesting operations. It is a strange feature of this war that the enemy, pressed for supplies on his own bank, has been striving to draw them from his Jaghire States on this side of the river. In the town and fort of Dhurmkote, which were filled with grain, he had, in the second week of January, a small garrison of Mercenaries, Rohillas, Eusufzies and Affghans. Major- General Sir Harry Smith was, on the 18th, sent against this place, with a single brigade of his divison and a light field battery. He easily effected its reduction, the troops within it surrendering at discretion, after a few cannon shots. But, whilst he was yet in march, I received information of a more serious character. There remained little cause to doubt that Sirdar Runjoor Sing Mujethea, had crossed from Philour, at the head of a numerous force of all arms, and established himself in position at Baran Hara, between the old and the new courses of the Sutlej, not only threatening the city of Loodiana with plunder and devastation, but indicating a de termination to intersect the line of our communications at Busseean and Raekote. The safety of the rich and populous town of Loodianah had been in some measure provided for by the presence of three battalions of Native Infantry under Brigadier Godby ; and the gradual advance of our reinforcements, amongst which was included her Majesty's 53d Regiment, and the position of the Shekawattee Brigade, near Busseean, gave breathing time to us in that direction. - But, on the receipt of intelligence which could be relied on, of the movements of Itunjoor Singh, and his apparent views, Major-General Sir Harry Smith, with the brigade at Dhurmkote, and Brigadier Cureton's cavalry, was directed to advance by Jugraon towards Loodiana ; and his second brigade, under Brigadier Wheeler, moved on to support him. Then commenced a series of very delicate combinations, the momentous character of which can only he compre hended by reflecting on the task which had devolved on this army, of guarding the frontier from Roopur down to Mun dote. The Major-General, breaking up from Jugraon, moved to wards Loodiana, when the Sirdar, relying on the vast supe riority of his forces, assumed the initiative, and endeavoured to intercept his progress by marching in a line parallel to him, and opening upon his troops a furious cannonade. The Major-General continued coolly to manoeuvre ; and, when the Seikh Sirdar, bending round one wing of his army, en - ve loped his flank , he extricated himself, by retiring, with the steadiness of a field day, by echelon of battalions, and effected his communication with Loodiana, but not without severe loss. Reinforced by Brigadier Godby, he felt himself to be strong; but his manoeuvre had thrown him out of commu nication with Brigadier Wheeler, and a portion of his bag gage had fallen into the hands of the enemy. The Seikh Sirdar took up an entrenched position at Budhowal, support ing himself on its fort; but, threatened on either flank by General Smith and Brigadier Wheeler, finally decamped, and moved down to the Sutlej. The British troops made good their junction, and occupied the abandoned position of Budhowal. The Shekawattee Brigade and her Majesty's 53d Regiment, alto added to the strength of the Major- General; and he prepared to attack the Seikh Sirdar on his new ground. But, on the 27th, Runjoor Sing was reinforced, from the right bank, with 4,000 regular troops, twelve pieces of artillery, and a large force of cavalry. Emboldened by this accession of strength, he ventured on the measure of advancing towards Jugraon, apparently with the view of intercepting our communications by that route. It is my gratifying duty to announce that this presump tion has been rebuked by a splendid victory obtained over him. He has not only been repulsed by the Major-General, but his camp at Aliwal carried by storm, the whole of his cannon and munitions of war captured, and his army driven headlong across the Sutlej, even on the right bank of which he found no refuge from the fire of our artillery. I have the honour now to forward the Major-General's re port, which has just reached me. It is so ample and lu minous, that I might perhaps have spared some of the de tails into which admiration of the Major-General's conduct, and of the brave army confided to him, in these operations, has led me. It now remains for me only to congratulate you, Right Honourable Sir, and the Government of India , on the bril liant success hich, under Divine Providence, the Major- General has achieved ; and to record my opinion that, throughout these arduous and important operations, he has displayed all the qualities of an able commander. Most strongly, and most earnestly at the same time, I beg to bring to your notice, and to that of his Grace the Duke of Wel lington, and the Honourable the Court of Directors, the offi cers and corps on whom lie has so justly bestowed his com mendations. This is followed by the dispatch of Sir H. Smith, K.O 8., to the Adjutant-General of the Army, dated Camp, Field of the Battle of Aliwal, Jan. 30, 1846, giving the details of that glorious victory, and of the masterly manoeuvres of the British troops by which it was preceded, and followed by the return of the killed and wounded.

We have this week the opportunity of presenting to our readers a very" remarkable" petitioe. In the House of Commons last week, a petition for " Pro tection to British Industry" was presented by Lord G eor g e Bentinck, Purporting to be from " 3,000 persons engaged in the cultivation of land in the eastern 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 bad 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 Bentinck 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. Some time previous to the Protection petition being sent off, we heard of the fraudulent way in which signatures had been attached to it ; but we could not believe that any one who had the least value for his character, as a man of honesty and trnth, would venture to instruct a Member of the House of Commons to proclaim a falsehood ; and we, therefore, declined noticing what we had heard until 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 denouncing 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 untruthful 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 him 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. R. G. Graham, Baronet, M.P., on the estate of Netherby, in the county of Cumberland, " 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 Bentinck 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 cos sent. " 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.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—Captain Moubray, of the Fictory, 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 11.3ubray. He was mate csf the Juno, in her escape from Toulon, in 1794, and was at the sieges of St. Fiorenzo and Bastia ; senior lieutenant of the Moselle, in Hotham'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 commissions 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, 1844. 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 has only gone in to have her copper examined, prior to restoring her to her former moorings. It was 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 be taken on board again.. The Rattler steam-sloop, 5, Commander 11. 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 ifr 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 39, longitude, 22, with damage to sails, rigging, and spars, hav 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 had taken ene 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 had captured a few days before, making the 13th prize to this fortunate vessel since she has 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, MALCII 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 Commander 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 not 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 sea 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.

The first case was taken before Mr. William Payne, at the Duke of York Tavern, Southwark -bridge-road, on the body of Frances Guymer, aged thirty, housemaid in the service of Mr. Blewell, of No. 154, SOuthwark-bridge-road. On Tuesday morning last, at au early hour, the deceased was suddenly seized with violent pain, and rushing into her mistress's room she exclaimed, " Oh, I have been a wicked sinner, 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 remalued until eleven o'clock the same night, when she expired. In the deceased's pocket was found a paper of tobacco, and under her bed a pipe. The second inquiry was held before Mr. W. carter, the Coroner for Surrey, at the Horse and Groom Tavern, Great Guild ford-street, St. Saviour's, as to the death of slartha Brown, aged months, whose parents reside at No. 12, Zoar-street, Gravel lane, Holland-street. On the night of Wednesday last the deceased was placed in bed by the side of its mother, and at an early hour the following morning the child was found quite insensible and black in the face. A surgeon was called in, but life had been extinct for some time. The deceased had died in a fit. The third inquest was held at the Duchess of Kent, N o v-street, Rotherhit he, before Mr. W. Carter, on the body of Jane Thomp son, aged two years, the daugh ter of a waterman, residing at No. 3, Love-lane, Mill-pond-bridge. On Thursday morning, between six and seven o'clock, the deceased was discovered in bed quite dead, a neighbouring surgeon was im• mediately in attendance, who attributed death to a fit of apoplexy. The jury in each case recorded a verdict of "Death from natural causes." WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MARCH 27.—The sup plies of all grain are pretty good. We experienced only a slow de mand for all descriptions of Wheat to-day, but former prices were maintained. Fine Barley fully as dear, other qualities dull sale. Beans met with a fair inquiry at full prices. Oats Mel. per stone, and Shelling 6d. to Is. per load higher. Malt firm, and quick sale. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. —During the present week men have been employed in the erection of an electric telegraph upon this line, which it is intended to extend from the terminus at Shoreditch to Brandoil—the terminus northward of the Eastern Counties Railway. When the line is opened between Ely and Peterborough, wires will also be raised be tween the two towns. The directors have availed themselves of all the recent improvements in the electric telegraph, which will be put up along the line, under the most perfect arrangement. The whole apparatus will be completed iu about five weeks, and the cost will be above 3001, per mile ; the distance being 88% miles. The re mainder of the distance from Brandon to Yarmouth will also have the telegraph, but which which will be erected at the expense of the board of directors of the Norfolk Railway Company.—Essex Standard.

(From Woolnzer's Exeter Gazette of this day.) On Tu es day afternoon Mr. James Partridge, a solicitor, residing in Tiverton, and who was one of the coroners of the county of Devon, committed suicide by throwing himself into the Tiverton Canal, near Tidcombe bridge. Just before five o'clock the deceased was observed walking through Gold-street, in the direction of the canal, and was accosted by several persons, 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. Rayer, on 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 fur a minute or two, and then walked towards an opening in the bank, and there went down to the water. He then took his hat 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 n6t entirely under water, but his bald crown appeared above the surface and remained dry. Mr. Hepper immediately came out of the garden-house, and with a person named Stephen Boobier, whom he called to his assistance, proceeded to the canal. Here they found they could do nothing, as neither of them could swim ; and Mr. Ilepper then ran back to the house to get better assist ance. About twenty minutes after the deceased had walked into the water, William Carew Rayer, Esq., son of the Rev. W. Bayer, arrived, and immediately swam in and brought the deceased to the canal bank. Under the direction, and with the assistance of Mr. Rayer, the body was conveyed to Tidcombe House, and a messenger dispatched for medical assistance. About twenty minutes afterwards, F. Mackenzie, Esq., surgeon, of Tiverton, arrived and applied every means for restoring animation, but without success. J. E. Coward, Esq., surgeon, of Tiverton, also attended in a few minutes afterwards. The body was subsequently brought home to the late residence of the deceased in Bampton-street, Ti verton. On Wednesday afternoon the inquest on the body took place, before F. 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 been 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 have involved him 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, and to have refused to alter 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 month ago he applied to Mr. Frost, of Tiverton, druggist, for half a phial of prussic acid. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK OF THE SCHOONER BALIUS. LIVERPOOL, MARCH 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 last three weeks great solicitude for the fate of the schooner called the Baling, 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 Balins 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 one passenger, a young female, named Hazleden , daught er of Mr. Hazleden, 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 thunder 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 stancheons, 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 bare 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 Pendlebury 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 jollyboat, which was towing astern, and was saved. The fourth, Thomas Vale, was not seen again. Captain Pendlebury 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 new discovered in the hold, and two men were kept constantly at the pumps. 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 carrying away of the stancheons. Part of the cargo was also heaved overboard, as it had shifted. The night was thick and foggy; but at three A.M., on the 28th February, it cleared a little, and they discovered a piece of land, which turned out to be Castello Branco, a reef on the south side of the islaiZtl of Fayal, the chief of the Azores. At the distance of about a mile, the surf broke win; fear ful violence on the cliffs 300 - feet high ; and they were the;.ll sailing straight for them. The vessel was in the midst of 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, if 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 more 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 deck, 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 nails 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 the fury 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.

Two men who had taken shelter in a barn at Rat cliffe were killed on the spot by the lightning; a cow in the ad joiniug field was also killed, but there were no other marks pf the fluid. It is understood that a trial of considerable itstereat will take place at the ensuing Somerset Sessions, arising out of an assault committed by certain gentlemen of Bath and the neighbour hood, at the match of cricket, on Lansdowne, last summer, upon a sheriff's officer and his assistants, whilst endeavouring to arrest a gentleman celebrated amongst cricketers as the strongest bowler of the day. The indictment, it is said, will be for a riot.—Somerset shire Gazette. FORCIBLE ENTRY INTO A HOUSE BY A CLERGYMAN. — Considerable excitement prevailed at the Town-hall, Sheffield, on Tuesday morning last, in consequence of the Rev. John George Hounsfield, Mrs. Rosalie Honreine Hounsfield, his wife, together with George Hall, John Hall, and Charles Hall, being brought before the magistrates on a charge of having, on Monday last, riotously as ' sembled, and forcibly entered and taken possession of Wadsley House, the residence of George Calvert Holland, Esq., M.D. The rev. prisoner had been upwards of eight years confined in York Castle for debt, and had refused to petition for his liberation. In conse quence of his so doing, his petitioning creditor, air. Drury. had ap plied to the Insolvent Court and obtained a vesting order, under which the property was sold to the father of Mr. Copeland, the pre sent owner. Mr. Hounsfield appears to have laboured under the im pression that as he did not take the benefit of the Insolvent Act, he was entitled again to take possession of his property on his liberation from York Castle. The case was heard before William Ovetend, Esq., H. M. Grooves, Esq., and J. Athorpe, Esq. Mr. Hounsfield and two other male defendants were held to bail to take their trial for the offence, and Sirs. Hounsfield was discharged. TUE ITALIAN SOClETY.—Yesterday a meeting of the members of the above Society was held at the Hanover-square Rooms, Lord Ashley in the chair, supported by the Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., Mr. Childers, M.P., Mr. Colquhoun, M.P., Signor Ciocci, &c. The Hon. W. 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 af forded to the poorest of our own countrymen. They were sent out in lions not to return until they collected two shillings, Of offal.
