We have now before us the first Report from the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the amount of advances made by the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland, the regulations under which they were made, the purposes to which they have been applied, and the amount of repay ments. The various Reports made on reclaiming Waste Lands are also considered, and the extent to which compliance with the reported suggestions of the Commissioners has been carried. LOANS.—When a loan is sanctioned by the Board of Works and the Lords of the Treasury, in pursuance of the Act, ad vances are made on account of it ; Exchequer Bills to the amount being handed to the party, who receives the premium if any, arising on them. The Board is authorized to lend money, with the sanction of the Treasury, to Grand Juries, Public Bodies, Compa nies, and Individuals, for any of the following purposes : Roads and Bridges, Harbours, Piers, Docks, Canals and Railways, Mines and Quarries, Drainage . and Improvement of Estates, Buildings, and other description of l'ublic Works. And loans to individuals for drainage or other improve ment of estates (which are limited to cases where it shall be proved to the Board that the works, when completed, will increase the value of the land at least 101. per cent. on the war:. proposed to b.: expended) are required to be repaid within three years after the expiration of the period to be fixed by the Board of Works for the completion of the improve ment, with interest, payable half-yearly, of not less than 51. per cent. per annum. ' And the Commissioners are authorized to take personal se curity, as a collateral security, and also to make loans, not exceeding 1,000/. f or one wor k, on personal se curity alone, provided the parties shall have previously expended, subscribed, secured or deposited, a sum equal to one-half of the estimated cost of the proposed work; such loans to be repayable within five years from the advance thereof, of interest not less than Si. per cent per annum, payable half-yearly. The total of loans on personal security only cannot exceed 50,0001. at any one time. The amount of Loans and Advances is 1,044,191/. 16s. GRANTS.—In addition to the power of lending Exchequer Bills to the amount of 500,000/. the Board of Works and Lords of the Treasury are empowered by the Act to make grants in aid of the construction of roads and bridges, and of small harbours, piers, and quays, on the sea-coast, to the amount of 50,000/. out of the Consolidated Fund. It appears that the expenses of the Board exceed 5,0001. a-year. The Reports on Reclaiming Waste Lands is full of interest on this subject. The Committee on Public Works in Ireland recommend, that if a tenant for life shall expend the amount of two years' rent in improving his lands, he shall have the power of charg ing it upon the entail, provided the money be expended under the sanction of the Board of Works, and under the approval of a Master in Chancery. It is impossible to read the Report we have summarily no ticed without feeling that much individual good, at least, has been the result of the money lent to Ireland by our Govern.. ment. We are aware that many persons object, on principle, to such Government aids—with how much or how little of justice we shall not now determine. Their objections may be shortly stated, thus :—They object to the advance of the public money, and the employment of the public resources for the alleged exclusive benefit of Irish landlords, who ought them selves, at their own expense, to perform those works which are for the improvement of their own estates. They describe the Loan to Ireland as a tax on England. They'deny that England receives such aid; and assert that the wheels of im provement, incessantly progressing throughout England, are moved, not by Government Loans, but individual enterprise and individual labour—that a Board of Works too is objec tionable, on the ground of its expensiveness—that Govern ment should seldom grant loans of the public money. These and some other exceptions are taken by the objectors. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1533. CONTRACT FOR IRISH BEEF AND PORK.

( Further Particulars.) The following particulars 9f the appalling loss of life caused by the sudden falling.in, on Thursday last, of the superincumbent earth upon the men engage,' in forming the tunnel of the Birmingham rail-road at Watfora, near St. Alban's, were obtained on Saturday on the spot. The 101n her of lives ascertained to be lost is ten. The names of nine are known, and the tenth, whose name is unknown, was only engaged on the works upon the afternoon preceding the dreadful calamity. Those known to be lost are : Thomas Jordan, the overlooker, who was a widower, and has left two orphan children ; Joseph Barker, foreman of the miners ; T. Evans, bricklayer ; Sylvanus Ruhens, ditto ; John Betts, ditto ; W. Byrd, ditto ; George Platt, ditto ; James Darwill, labourer ; Thomas Winmill, ditto. The " banksman," whose busineas it is to work the gin pulley at the mouth of the shaft, had a most miraculous escape. He was sitting with his legs down the . shaft, his dog seated on his right, and his provision-bag lyog on his left, when the earth suddenly " caved in." The m;,-;hty crash of earth was so sudden thst escape appeared impossi ble. His dog, his bag, and the hat off his head, were in an instant carried into, and lost in, the fearful abyss. Himself was following ; his seat had slipped from beneath him, and all hope of escape appeared gone, when a beam, connected with the pulley, fell across the pit's mouth, and catching him by the thigh, arrested his fall, and gave him time to scramble beyond the danger. The railroad works, which have been for many months carrying on at Watford, are on a most extensive scale, the natural difficulties to be overcome there being greater than at any other point of the intended line. According to the original plan the railway at this part would have been car ried through the Earl of Essex's park, parallel with the Grand Junction Canal ; but his Lordship strenuously op posing this it was deemed advisable to conciliate him, by making a diversion of the road, at nearly right angles, from its general direction ; thus crossing the valley of the Colne, on an embankment of 800,000 yards, cubic measure, and coming then to rising ground, to make an open exca vated road of about half a mile in length, and of an extreme depth of 65 feet. At this depth, with a rapidly rising ground for nearly a mile in front, it became cheaper to tun nel, and four shafts were sunk in the intended line under the hill, about equal distance, for this purpose. That at the bottom of which the awful catastrophe took place, was the last of the four. It was 90 feet deep, and Well timbered throughout ; and was, in common with the others, intended to be bricked at the sides, and permanently kept open for for the purpose of ventilation. At the bottom of each of the shafts the bricklayers and miners were busily employed night and day in forming portions of the tunnel, which would be rendered complete by the common junction of these parts. In all about 450 yards, out of 1,715 yards, the re quired length of the tunnel, had been thus formed. A communication of heighth and breadth for a man was formed at the bottom of each shaft, so as to connect the different portions of the work together. These passages, are called the " heading," or " drift-way." Of the cause of the dreadful accident nothing certain can b e known, for not one beneath the shaft has survived to tell the awful tale. The last surviving person who was in this portion of the tunnel is Mr. Croper, the sub-contractor for the brick work. This gentleman left about half-past eleven o'clock on Wednesday night. At that time, the tunnel northward from the shaft had been completed for a length of three yards, and south, or London-wards, for six yards. The intermediate portion, under the shaft was being formed. The shaft opening in this part of the tun nel being intended to be permanent, the arch could not be " keyed " in the usual manner, but would have been per fected in an iron collar or ring, consisting of four segments of a circle, each weighing 18 cwt. The bricklayers are supposed to have advanced nearly to the point of receiv ing this collar, and that in removing the last, or almost the last spar of timber, a " run in " of gravel and sand unex pectedly took place, and filled the tunnel so rapidly that none had time to escape into the driftway. In the course of Saturday and Friday, several of the Directors, and Mr. StephensOn, the principal engineer, visited the spot, and are understood to have declared themselves satisfied, as well from personal observation as from information obtained, that the melancholy event was purely accidental. On the same day on which the above deplorable occur rence took place, another accident of a similar nature hap pened at the tunnel of the same railroad, between Prim rose-hill and Kilburn. A• mass of earth fell upon a la bourer named Wihiani Bruton. His leffleg iv - as shattered and he received other dreadful injuries, so that his life is de spaired of. Six others narrowly escaped destruction. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. AD VICES, ARRIVALS, AND DEPARTURES AT THE SCOTCH WHARFS, JULY 19. HoaßE's WHARF.—No advices.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RlVER.—Yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'clock a young man, appa rently between sixteen and seventeen years of age, met with his death in the Thames, a little beyond the Red House at Battersea, on the Surrey side. He was bathing, with a great many more young men, and, being no swimmer, suddenly sunk in one of the numerous holes to be found in that part of the river. Two or three young men dived after him immediately, Lut without effect ; and the drags were procured in a few mo ments from the Red House, but the body could not be found. Some boys were in a boat within a yaid• of where he went down, but made no attempt to save him. His brother was standing on the shore, and his cries when he saw him sinking were truly distressing. SEDUCTION.-•--KNOWLES V. COMPIGNE. Mr. CROWDER stated the case, and called witnesses in ;upport of it. The evidence is not fit for publication. Mr. ERLE addressed the Jury for the defendant.

She was out, but returned in about a quarter of an hour. The prisoner then asked her to sit by him ; she refused. He then rushed at her with a knife in his hand. He stabbed her in the breast. He attempted to cut her throat. He then bent her head down nearly. to the ground, and inflicted several stabs on the back of her neck. She got the knife from him. He then got a large pole and knocked her down with it, and jumped upon her, and then took up a large earthenware washing-pan and dashed on her head ;he did the same with another pan, the whole saying that he came there for the purpose of murdering he:. The jury found the prisoner' Guilty, and the Learned Judge passed sentence of death ;vim him, holding out no hope of mercy.

This was an action for a libel on the plaintiff, the master of a free school in Hertfordshire, to which the defendant pleaded several justifications, alleging that the matters men tioned in the libel were true in point of facts. There is in the town of Berkhamstead St. Peter, in Hertfordshire, a certain school, ealled " the Free-school of King Edward V 1.," altisime, in fact, it was founded by Henry VIII. The school is. liberally endowed with the rcnts and profits of certain estawsleft by' individuals forits maintenance. The King appoints the master, and that situ ation the plaintiff, who is rector of a parish in Lincoln shire, has held since 180.5 ; the present salary is 2,501. per annum. There is also an usher belonging to the s.^ hoof who has a considerable salary. For some time before the publication of the libel in question, the public attention had been called to the state of the school, and the manner in which it was conducted, and a Committee had been ap pointed to investigate the matter. In November, 1833, a report, purporting to be an account of a meeting held at Berkhamstead, upon the subject of the management of the school, was published in a paper styled the Bucks Herald, and on the following week the Herald contained the libel complained of in the present action. It was proved by the editor that the defendant was the author of the libel. Mr. Campbell, the defendant, was formerly an army agent and banker, in London, but about four years since he met with a severe accident in being thrown nut of his carriage, and shortly afterwards he left town, and went to reside at Berk hamstead, St. Mary. ' Having a large family of 'sons, his attention was naturally drawn to the state of the free school of that town, and to the prospect of procuring admis sion to it for some of his children, and after several at tempts to reform what were considered abuses in the management of the Institution, he published the libel com plained of, the material parts of which were as follow " With reference to what was said last week respecting the Berkbamstead school, we arc now enabled to state that the letters patent founding the school in 1541, and the Act of Parliament which governs it, direct and enact that 144 boys shall be taught therein free of all expense for ever ; and in order to insure that being done, very large landed endowments, &c., were made, and the master left sole trustee, it being considered that he would be more in terested than any other in seeing the intentions of the Le gislature performed. The master was ordered to be for ever appointed by the King. Time and infamy have tin ' fortunately baffled these good intentions, for the present master and his usher (or rather nominal usher) have not, since their appointment upwards of a quarter of a century ago, taught one boy, although they have drawn their large salaries : indeed, they abandoned the noble and spacious houses erected for their accommodation, as well as the splendid school premises and grounds. They neglected them, and allowed them to get into that state of dilapida tion as to allow them an excuse, when called into residence, of there being no suitable accommodation. But this pre text now avails.them not, as the visitor has seen into their drift or deception, and knowing these premises ought to be kept in repair by the master out of the first part of the revenue of the school, has forced him at length from his retreat in Lincolnshire (a valuable church living which he purchased for himself out of his lucrative sinecure at Berkhamstead) to his post ; but he has not succeeded in bringing the usher there, because the nominal usher never intended to come there, and is (as he has al ways been known to be) incompetent to the situation. The master, though dragged to his proper place, contrives to render his being there useless, as he has, contrary to the letters patent and Act which govern the school, drawls limits for the reception of boys, which excludes the public from the benefit intended, and confines the number ad mitted to half a dozen instead of 144. He also, , in order to disgust and annoy the gentlemen who wish to put an end to such tu:principled and highly improper conduct, has in stilted them. The worthy rector and curate of Berkham stead, who wei . e zealous in the good cause, have come under his scorpion fangs, but honour and principle protect them. We understand that the whole of this unworthy and de ceptive conduct hiss come before the visitor of the school, the Warden of All Souls, Oxford, most explicitlY." To this libel the defendant pleaded a justification, alleg ing.the truth of the several charges it contained. In support of the pleas of justification, the rector, curate, and church-clerk wore called. It appeared that, from 1005, when the plaintiff was ap pointed -to the mastership, he wa.s resident at the school, and served a curacy in the neighbuurhcod, but that there was not a single scholar during that period educated at the school. The plaintiff was, boWever, ready to teach any boys who should apply to be admitted to a participation in the benefits of the establishment, but it did not appear that there was any application for admission during that time. In 1529 he left Berkhamstead, and went to reside on his living Lincolnshire, and during his absence it was that the attention of the town and neighbourhood was called to th e unprofitable state of the school. Soon after the defen dant went to reside at Berkhamstead, he called upon the plaintiff and re4uested admission of his sons to the benefit of the school. it appeared, however, that he was at that time residing in Berkhamstead St. Mary,'and the plaintiff declined to receive them, on the ground of the non-resi dence of the deferui'.,tnt in the parish of Berkhamstead St. Peter ; and this refusal was founded upon an opi nion of • Sir Charles Watherell, who had advised that non-residents in St. Peter )sere not entitled to the pri vilege of sending their sows to the school. In conse quence of this, the defendant 1 ` 0 ,11( a house in St. Peter's. and afterwards made a fresh appi'eation to the plaintiff for admission for his sons ; and u)."'on this occasion the plaintiff said, "be would neither recce ve nor refuse them, but he would inquire into the matter." ').".he c urate stated upon his examination that he understood Imo!ant, the defend ant, that the plaintiff had afterwards offered to receive the y o ung Campbells, but they were not sent. Silo rtly after this, 40 boys from various parts o f the count y were Admit ted into the school under 'certain conditions, but that they all left after a short probation. There are now nine boys at the school. With-respect to that part of the libel which imputed to the plaintiff that he had allowe,d the school a - ro oms and premises to fall into decay, in order to afford plausible pretext for not having any scholars, no evidence was given on the part of the defendant ; but it t:PPeared that the plaintiff had from time to time petitioned the Court of Chancery (in whom the funds of the school are v ested) for grants of money for the repair of the premises, and that he had himself no control over the funds. That part also of the libel which stated that the plaintiff had insulted acl annoyed gentlemen who wished to put an end to the non. educational system, was not proved. The Learned BARON having summed up the evidence the jury retired, and ultimately found for the plaintiff, with 251. damages, upon certain of the issues raised by the pleas, and for the defendant upon two of the issues —namely , that which asserted that the right of admission wa s in the pub lic generally, and was not confined to the inhabitants el Berkhamstead, and that which alleged that for 25 years: there had not been a scholar educated in the establishment. This case excited very great interest in the county, in consequence of the frequent discussions which the subject has undergone, and from the fact of two petitions havin g been so recently before Parliament upon the matter. A petition praying for inquiry was lately presented by Lord Grimston, one of the members for the county, and another was presented on the day upon which this trial took place; by Mr. Thomas lluneornhe, from the plaintiff in the action,, justifying his conduct. CLERKE, GENT., ONE, &C., V. CHETWODE, CLERK. This was an action brought to recover damages for an alleged false imprisonment. The Jury, after hearing the charge of the Learned Judge, found a verdict for the defendant. The Independent Chapel, Great thiffield, being► burdened with a debt of 841., the congregation worshipping' there were determined to make an " effort" to clear it off.
