This Company Is formed for the purpose Of connecting the Atlan tic and Pacific Oceans by the construction of a plank - road across the province of Chiriqui, situated in Terra Firma Proper, in the Re public of New Grenada, under many advantages unattainable by any analogous undertaking, especially the essential ones of good termin able harbourage, and safety, facility, and directness of access. A grant from the Government conferring all the land necessary for the construction of the road, and all necessary buildings, has already been obtained, with the exclusive privilege to the Proprietors of the road to establish and collect such toll and passage money as they shall think proper. The grant is for the period of 60 years ; at the expiration of that term the road is to be surrendered to the Governor of the province as provincial property, and the entire amount of the original ca pital accumulated by a reserved fund to be laid aside from the profit of the enterprise will then be repaid pro-rata to the proprietors of shares. The termini of the peopooeti-eoad are in the Lagoon. of Chiriqui, on the Atlantic coast, and in the Bay of Chiriqui, OR the Pacific side. The harbours and anchorage at these termini are excellent. Through the whole lino the country is very healthy. The coast on the Atlantic terminus was surveyed by her Majesty's ship Thunder, and that on the Pacific by her Majesty's ship Herald. These offi cial surveys, copies of which have been obtained fromthe Admiralty, fully establish the advantages here asserted, and are highly favour able to the proposed enterprise. The route has been long known and used as a provincial road. The highest elevation of the line of road between the two oceans is only 160 feet, and the steepest gradient only 18 feet to the mile. The distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific in a direct line is only 40 geographical miles, and the length of wood will not exceed 50 miles. The facilities for its construction are very great. The Chiriqui road may be open for traffic in one year, and in full working order within. 18 months from the period of its commence ment. When completed the whole distance may be travelled within eight hours. This route is in the most direct line from Europe to the colonies of Australia and New Zealand, and as the route for the California emi gration, it is far superior to either the Panama or the San Juan de Nicaragua. It must also insure the transit of merchandise con signed to and from the west coast of America, both north and south, and a considerable portion of the specie from the same coast. A por tion of the trade between Great Britain and Australia and New Zea land, and that of the other islands of the Pacific, may also be fairly cculatea. upon. A considerable portion of the gold procured in Aus tralia will be transmitted across this route. Notwithstanding the existing difficulties upwardsfof 100,000 persons crossed the Isthmus of Panama during the last year, and it is computed that the in creased inducements and facilities for trade and emigration fur nished by new lines of steam -ships will vastly increase the amount of traffic and travel across the Isthmus, placing it beyond doubt that this undertaking will produce immense returns. The amount of capital necessary to complete and open the road in perfect working order will be only 200,0001., and the revenue to be derived from it, computed from the sources above indicated, will yield a net profit on the entire capital of about 30 per cent., alter making a very liberal deduction for expenses, and also laying aside a reserve fund sufficient to replace the original capital, and provide for any unforeseen contingencies. In submitting this undertaking to the public, the Directors deem it unnecessary to enlarge on its importance, or the vast advantages and facilities which will be given to commercial intercourse by a safe, speedy, and economical means of intercommunication, with excellent harbours adapted to all purposes of trade, between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. They are permitted to state, as a gurrantee of its feasibility and realisation, that the Messrs. Warings, of London, railway contractors, are ready to undertake the con struction of the road at the estimated cost, and will immediately at their own expense send their surveyors and staff to the locality to make the final survey. The Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that her Majesty's Government have acz.eded to the request of the pro moters for the grant of a Royal Charter of Incorporation, by which the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their shares, and no payment will be required until the Charter shall have been completed. Applications for shares to be made to the brokers of the Company, or to the Secretary, at the temporary offices of the Company, No. 4, Princes-street, Bank, London ; where also may be obtained prospectuses, with accompanying map s , showing the situation of the proposed route relative to the Panama and Nicargua routes, and the proposed Tehuantepec and other routes, as also the relative distances of these route , across the Isthmus of Central America, and the dis tances to San Francisco, and to Sydney (New South Wales), by New Zealand, from England, New York, &c.

After some valuable °laser vations on the progress of the commercial interesta, the lec turer next explained the manner in which the gold discoveries had been made, quoting the opinions and Sir Roderick predictions of Murchison and other scientific gentlemen. He then described the excite ment which it lied caused at the time, and traced out the present and future important changes likely to be effected by the increased amount of the precious metals. Mr. Fairfax concluded an interesting and able lecture, replete with valuable information upon every subject of i m portance in the colony, with the following observations : — toils apprehensions of fearful con " By some pert rtained ; by others, whose high sequences are ente t pressure notions are beyond the power of steam, results of the utmost magnitude and greatest earthly blessedness are dreamed of. Looking calmly upon d then casting a fond regard to the old country, an the new nations that are springing up under the fos tering influence of British manners, British laws, and British Christianity; remembering that but yester day in your money market_' The first q uotation of Consols for money w as 100 to il, and that they left off at 100 - to i for money, and ION to tt for the ac count ;' seeing the g laddening influence of trade and commerce every • and the peaceand - where , . prosperity which prevails on both sides of the Atlantic, as Aran as on those shores where the Pacific rolls her quiet billows; and reflecting, too, upon him who hath said ' Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place f or gold where they fin e it t as for the earth, out of it cometh bread ; the stones of it are the place of Sa pphires, and it hath dust of gold ;' I say, looking calmly on all these considera tions, I have no fears for the future. The treasures of the earth have been opened up under the special providence of God himself. At the moment when your Crystal Palace Wa3 thrown open to th e a d m i ring gaze of all Europe, a far distant colony was present ing her claims for distinction and fame. The May of 1851, on both sides of the globe, is indeed a memorable era. Never may the children of Britain on those distant shores be a disgrace to the parent state. But may the honour, the virtue, the dignity of moral character, and, above all, the pure religion of the Bible, be transplanted and cultivated on their soil —not as the tender plant to wither and die in a 7 d a y _ but as the noble oak, whos e roots dee p en, widen, J and strengthen, by the adversity and storms of time. A few remarks to the intending emigrant, a n d I have done. To the young man of industrious and sober habits and of moral character, whose anxiety is to pursue a course of honest perseverance—unappalled by difficulty and danger—l say go. To the idle, the dissipated, the drunken—he who is reckless alike of his own peace and the sorrow he causes to others — I say stay ; for if you go to a warm climate and persevere in your present habits, you will be an out cast, you will die miserably, neglected by man, and, perhaps, unpiiied by God. The two great wants of the colonists are capital and labour. k'or these employment on a large scale is constantly being presented. There are mines of wealth only waiting investments, and ;requiring men to work them. The railroad company have advertised for 200 men ; and in a recent letter from the presi dent of that company, he informs me that the con tractor contemplates giving up the contract in conse quence of being unable to obtain men. The Bathurst Copper Mining Company, in the Herald of April 17th, advertises for 100 men. In the southern dis trict a new copper mine has be en discovered; the ore has been transmitted to Engle d nfor smelting, and it has been pronounced equal ' in the • yield to the Barra Barra. This also is at a stand. The Fitzroy Iron Mining Company is in a similar positi • • on. It is si tuate at Mittagong, on the great southern road, within seventy miles of Sydney, and extends over a su rface of about twel ve acre s. I t doubtless of vol canic formation, as three distinct mounds or craters a ppear, and the lava (iron ore), instead of the general pumice- stone, flows from each mound of a depth of from six to ten feet. The yieldofthis ' • mine is re workable. When smelted the ore produces steel of a most superior character. (The 1 t ec urerer exhibited s pecimens of the ore in its original t t a a e, and of the metal in its manufactured state.) These facts are enough to show that capital and labour are required. My ad vice, however, I may be permitted to tender to two or three classes. To the t mas ers or workmen who are doing well in England, I suggest the old motto ' Let well alone. But if you are struggling with difficul ties which app ear unconquera bl e , w i n d up your affairs and try the colonies. There we are not so thick upon the ground, and with the primest beef at 21., and mutton at 1U e ~ you cannot, you need not starve. Not that I would hold out the expectation of success without exertion—of fortune without the appliance of industry—or of the ouiet repose of old ago without thrift and care in earfy and middle life. The ' Battle of Life' must be fought lustily and bravely on both sides the world. And moral worth is as valuable and as highly prized there as here. The openings for the agricultural labourer, and the master or journeyman tradesman are astonishing. I will only mention one instance ; it was told me by the Reverend Mr. Mac kenzie, a fellow passenger from Sydney to England, end I am sure is only a specimen of the increase in the price of all kinds of handicraft. He says, Happening to break part of the harness of one of the horses I was driving, I desired my servant to carry the broken part to a saddler's shop in order to get it mended. I accompanied the man. We travelled from shop to shop, till we had visited three or four of them, before we found a man in any of them; all the men having gone to the diggings, the shops were left under the charge of their wives or daugh ters. At last we reached a saddler's shop, in which I saw a little boy of nine or ten years of age, who said he thought he could mead the broken harness ; and he did so in a few minutes. I stood looking at him while at work, and when ho had finished I asked him what was to pay, expecting that he would say, one shilling. His reply, however, was, " half a crown, sir, if you please. I said, " that is a vary high charge, my little boy, for the few stitches it only cost you." " But, sir," said this pocket edition of human nature, "you must consider that all the men have gone to the diggings, and that we who stay at home to do the work of the public must charge etc cordingly." The logic was conclusive; the :ncuth was stopped, and my purse was opened. I paid the its. 6d. and went away, convinced that those who stay at home and stick to their trades will largely participat e in the profits of the gold digger. In J anuary last I was paying 30s. a week, or at the rate of 78/. a :year, with board, to a bullock driver, whom I could have hired last year at about 301. a year. When this man's time with me expired, he was offered 31. a 'week, or at the rate of 1561. a year, with board, for driving bullocks between Melbourne and Mount Alexander. I know a journeyman carpenter who 'was at the same time offered 41. a week, with board :and constant employment, which he refused—then 'went to the diggings. In England there is a large class of young men, who are well educated, but are 'not brought up to any business pursuits. Many of this class make their way to the colonies. They bring letters of introduction to respectable end wealthy ;people often to the Governor—and imagine 'their fortunes are made. Poor fellows ! Any 'well-instructed colonist can see with half an eye 'that they are unfit for hard work, and therefore ne; , cessarily unfit for the colony. Often, Person= such lea. 1 'these are returned home to their parents, like u ns L s i ,able hales of merchandise ; and too frequently, e their they remain to disgrace their name, , tl rj r h u latid i s a character, and to &bench their lives. i ne it so, nation of shopkeepers,' said Napolt at eorrin3n unfit and rather than it should be composed ,ctt man should disqualified to obey the mandate , _ go , : I 2hips, 00 1 0 - eat his bread by the sweat of bis b o u rY t that motto is a nies, commerce, is our mottee r , unless it be sane foul blot upon our young erar eearnestness, and un tioned and upheld by enterprise, _ s respecting edu cated young men without Conquerable zeal.

THE ANGLO-IRISII SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH. coonitcbas e We understand upon autOority(hy morning ni tions from Portpatrick) that on Tuesday submarine cable between Donaghadee, on the coast o f Ireland, to Portpatrielt, on the coast of Scotland, having been on the previous Saturday secure l y anchored on to a buoy in a bay upon the Scottish coast, was thence carried inland to Portpatrick a short distance fr o m th e ha:lab, and that telegraphic com munications between the coasts of Ireland and Scot• . land were accomplished. This may be considered the more imp or t an t as it h as no t publicly transpired that the cable laid down between Holyhead and Howth on the Ist of June is u n d ers tood to have failed, the wire rope, which was only three-quarters of an inch in circumference, having, from the various kinks or fractures that occurred in submerging it, been found too fragile for the purpose, and, after having broken in various fi s h i t existed,uu.,ei weighing gh places t in the late endeavours to rt parta in of where the the zio imper fections miles g f o r o e u a a r t s e ce r tons, s o la f ai tbe b c ec b o a na nn e parcel of the waifs anTstray of cable, between the threienthgoersel.parTtbaenrde appears to hare been what may projectors of submarine be termed " a race" telegraphic communication Ireland, between l England and to ascertain who should suc cessful establishing it first, ou.d be the most them selves with the rst, so as to unite Company in system of the Electric Telegraph axiom of " the England,moreand hence it is that the old haste the less speed," even in electric t e l egrap hi c realized. communication, has beens again The promoters of the this sp ec i es o f co present expedition f or esta blishingPhe communication v ia P or t pa t r i c k and Donagbad ee , un d er Tele graph Company of Ireland —there of the Electric Tele bc existence, entitled the Irish Submarinelbeing anoth e r i n Company, from Holyhead to Kingstown, Telegraph about to sink a cable on that route—started, who ed as hasare already been stated, from Donagbadee on Saturday last, the party consisting of the Hon. G. Massea Mr. Gilpin (the contractor), Mr. Griffia (the ' engineer), Mr. Daring, and numerous other per sons, the Reliance, with her crew and cable on board, being under the command of Captain Hawes, R.N., who is well acquainted with the nature of the navigation. The expedition steamed out under the auspices of favourable tide and wind, from Donag hadee to the point where, on the 18th instant, the miles of cable already submerged were secured to a buoy nut at sea, owing to the haziness of the weather on that occasion, and the high run of the spring tides, which then induced Captain Hawes to recommend that further progress should be postponed until Sa turday, when advantage might be taken of the neap tides. Arrived at this point, the reliance and attendant tugs hove to, it being necessary to haul up the extremity of the six miles of cable already submerged to connect it with the remaining fifteen on board, the distance across being twenty- one miles. At this juncture a formidable, but in the end only temporary, obstacle presented itself, it being found that the telegraphic tackle resisted the combined efforts of the crew of about fourteen or fifteen men to raise it from its sub marine recess, in spite of the most vigorous pulling. Conjecture, as on occasions of similar novelty, gave rise to strange but mistaken surmises. It was at first feared that the cable had become transfixed by the falling of some wreck or dCbris upon it— that it had become fastened in the fissure of some rock, or that some of the heavier denizens of the deep were indulging in an oceanic siesta upon it ; at any rate the cable was destined to become a skipping rope for some generation of Neptune's. But a more practical knowledge of the Channel dissipated imagi nary doubts, it having been ascertained from sound ings that the depth of the channel between Portpatrick and Donaghadee is an average of 70 fathom=, princi pally of ooze, soft mud, sand and shells, and free from fishermen's kedges. All conjecture, however, was set at rest by a conclusive " long pull, and stron pull, and pull altogether" on the part of the crew, which had the effect of bringing from its briny abode into the light of day, carbuncled with shells, coral, and sea weed, an immense ship's anchor, asserted by the oldest seaman on board to be at least 100 years old, and certainly differing very m aterially in its fashion ing from the celebrated " Exhibition prize anchors" that were pitted against the Admiralty anchors the other day, though quite equal t o either in p on d erousness an d p o wer of e` holding o n ." It is stated that, notwithstanding the severe strain, the callibre of the cable was not injured from the effect of its submarine burden, and that, more on account of the curious mode of its recovery than of its real salvage value, it is to be anchoredthe for the in Mu remainder of its days on " dry land," impediment over seum at Belfast. The amusing c ome , the expedition proceeded towards Portpatrick, paying out the fifteen miles of cable at the rate of three miles an hour, w ithout anything more obser vable until, amid heavy gale and sea , it reached Port patrick was at ten at night, when the communication cable. tested and ascertained over the entire scope t o i f L ca .e. Owing to the difficult access, arising from attached over hanging rocks at Portpatrick, the cable was ..e carried in to a buoy in the bay, and subsequently land. relative to the present As misapprehensions exist . . state of the land telegraphic communication l con nexion with the cable, it may b e stated that on the Irish coast from Donaghadee to Be lfast theand shortly.

Should no telegraph be laid over the Glasgow saki South-Western, wires will at once he laid down along the common road between Dumfri es and Carlisle via Gretna Green ; and in the mean time the telegraphic dispatch will have to be taken over the thirty miles of break by express or other train, involving the delay of about an hour, instead of enabling, as is intended, a telegraphic disn a t c h to be expressed between London and Dublin, a n d v i ce versa, in the space of two or three minutes._ Ci.ro. nick.

FRANCE. - _ The Constitutionnel publishes the following on the late General Gourgaud :—" Gaspard Gourgaud was born at Versailles on Sept. 14, 1783, in the midst of the brilliant career of his maternal uncle, Henri Gourgaud, the comedian, at whose house he was brought up, and who was known in the annals of the Theatre Frangais by the pseudonyme of Dugazou. After having been at the Polytechnic School and at that of Metz, young Gourgaud entered, in 1801, the 6th foot artillery, and in 1803 became the aide-de-camp of General Fonda, who had discovered his abilities. The battles of the Empire succeeded with wonderful rapidity, and at Tabor, Austerlitz, lona, Friedland, Ealing, and, above all Wagram, Gourgaud ga ve proofs of an intelligence and courage which gained him the honour of being appointed orderly-officer to the Emperor. In that quality, he accompanied him to Holland, and returned afterwards to France to secure from a coup-de-main, on the part of the English, the islands of Rhe, Aix, and Oleron, which England had designated as points for holing at. All the plans of that nation were baffled by the young tactician, and the coast was put into such a state of defence as to render any attempt on the part of the enemy impossible. At Dresden, Os trowno, and Smolensko, he behaved with great gal lantry, and contributed with the pri n cipal general officers of the French army to the success of tha t terrible battle of Moseowa, at which France made it s gigantic opening into Russia. It was in that coun try that an episode tcok place which rendered t he young officer dear to his brothers in arms. Napo leon was -at the Kremlin. The destinies of the world were in his hand ; but nature, and not the enemy, was to snatch from him the fruits of his vic tory. Rostopchin, the Russian General, in his de spair, had placed under the Kremlin and the neigh - , of 400,0001b5. weight of gunpowder, n f i or i blowing up the sta ff ; the military household, and the guard of the En l Pe t : the gs purp ose ror. The fire was already set to the match, Tillie" was slowly burning, when Gourgaud, without mea suring the extent of the danger, rushed into the gulf and succeeded in extinguishing the match, and so saved the Emperor and the principal generale. Another time, at Brienne, on January 29, 1814, Gourgaud was again able to save the Emperor's life. The Emperor, on that occasion, found himself en veloped by a body of Cossacks, who pressed closely. At that moment one of the m , lance in hflaimi spurred at Nap oleon,and would have certainls4 ool9l , xe , him, had not Gourgaud dashed between, and, ledg' n b a ball in the soldier's chin, saved the Emperors th at It was to recompense that act of devotedness, l: Napoleon, throwing himself into his aide-de-eamP•. arms, gave him that sword so dear to his first l'l t hiseences gained as having worn it when he fled his firs t rs s w ord battle in Italy as General Bonaparte.

EMIGRANTS —Very little observation will convince you of what will be most useful and profitable for you to is ke out. When your passage is paid you are entitled to food during the voyage, but must provide your own Clothing and utensils ; you should therefore have an Outfit for the passage : but it must be a i ;unable one, or it will be of no use. The experience E. MOSES and SON have in this business enables them to provide Outfits b etter than any other house. When you arrive you will immediately require clothing. Whera will you get it? and what will it cost 3 mu? E. MOSES and SON offer you advantages which will prove a surprising saving of time and money, and put you in possession ( rf the very goods you will need. Clothing and Provisions will b e your necessaries in Australia. You cannot take provisions with( rut great expense, bat you can take clothing without cost or risk..

We have had still daily showers of rein, w ith a close sultry atmosphere. Potatoes are again smitten with disease, the extent of which is not yet apparent. Wheat is fast approaching maturity, and in the more forward localities the sickle will very likely be in play i n a couple of weeks. Business was languid during the week, the caution of buyers increasi n g in proportion to the pressure of foreign arrivals for sale. This day's market was moderately well attended. Wheat and flour have to be writen 6d to 9d lower per boll or barrel respec tively. Barley was neglected, at a similar decline.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER.—The directors of thi company have issued a long statement in respect te vedette proceedings taken by certain shareholders, whir are endeavouring to bring about an agreement for 'saes of the line to the London and North-Western Company, at a rent equivalent to ei per cone per an num. The directors state, that a binding agreement, under seal, already exists between the Shrewsbury and Chester, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and the Great Western Railway Companies for the wo:kieg of the lines and the interchange of traffic, which agreement -will take the precedence of any other that may be pro posed; that not only have the Great Western kept faith with the company, but they have consented, conditionellr, to several modificatioes for the clear benefit et the Shrewsbury and Chester Company, which were pressed upon them by the directors of the latter company. They maintain that the policy which makes the line a part of a great scheme of continuous rsileeiv communication from London to the river infernev has been succes s f u l i n establishing its importance and value; that the G roat W estern is naturally identi fied with the iutercsis of t h e Shrewsbury and - Chester Company, while the inter es t o f the London and North- Western has ever been, and must ever continue to be, opposed to that lino of communication. In retererice to the proceedings of the directors of the company before Parliament during tho last session, they state that they have obtained powers to confirm existing agreements, and to enter into new agreements with the Duke of Bridgewater's trustees, which will afford the company a unequalled goods station accommodation at Liverpool great accession of traffic from north to sou th, an d and Manchester. They have also obtained power to construct two short branches, connecting the Birken head line, near Warrington, with the canals and naviga tion of the Bridgewater trustees, which, when taken in connexion with the running powers over the Birkenhead line towards Liverpool and Manchester, practically ex tends tho Shrewsbury and Chester line to those places. They state that their ally the Shrewsbury and Birming ham Comp any have obtained Parliamentary powers au thorising them to make use of the London and North- Western station at Birmingham, and, as they have already power to run ever the Stour Valley line, which is now open, the chain of communication will thus be completed between Birmingham at one end and Man chester and Liverpool at the other. In conclusion, the directors state that the ehareholders may rest as sured that a steady adherence to the policy hitherto pursued, and to the agreements entered into far carrying out that policy, is not merely the only course which can safely be adopted to protect them from interminable liti gation, but that which will most speedily and certainly give them the best return on the property i nves t e d i n the undertaking. SOUTH WALES.—Arrangements are in progress for extending the electric telegraph over the whole of the South Wales Railway, so as to connect all the ports and places on the coast with the west of England cnd th e me. tropolis by telegraph. EXTENSION OF TEIE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TO PAD DINGTON.—During the last few days, permission having been given by the Commissioners of Weeds and Forests, workmen have been busily engaged in laying under ground wires for the Electric Telegraph Company from Albert-gate, where the wires communicate with Loth• bury and the Strand, through Kensington-gardens and Hyde Park, to Paddington, so as to complete the line of communication between the metropolis and the wires on the Great Western Railway to the West of England. The wires that were laid down throughout the whole in terior of th e l ate C rystal Palace have been worke d i n the for Sorpenti ee t o Paddington, this purpose, an d are cont i nued along the bridge over yesterday. which the workmen reached SERIOUS COLLIERY ACCIDENT. NOTTINGHAM, JULY 28 .--Yestorday morning an ac cident occurred at the Bedford Colliery, near this town, the property of Lord Mildletorz, by whi c h f our men i n his Lordship's employ will be maimed for life, if, indeed, they survive the melancholy catastrophe, which, at pre sent, in the case of one or two of them at /east, is very doubtful. We learn, upon inquiry on the spot, that at about half-past nine o'clock toe engine of No. 2 pit was draw , ing up the men in question, when the rope broke after they had been raised some fifteen or sixteen yards, though no weight was attached thereto beyond the coal waggon and its livirg occupants, and all were precipi tated to the bottom. At the time of the accident many men and boys were at work below, who rendered every possible assistance to the sufferers, but of course without being able to administer the surgical relief they re quired. In the meantime those engaged above were ex erting themselves to attach another rope to the engine, in which they succeeded after the lapse of about half an hour, and the sufferers were then brought to the sur face. They are—William Banner, of Radford, aged 40; John Husbands, of Radford, aged 36; William Robinson, of Wolisten, aged 25; and William Bonser, of Redford, aged 60. Husbands is a smith, and had beer; into the pit for the purpose of shoeing the horses, mules, and asses working therein, which are seldom brought out, except in case of sickness or death; the other three are batty colliers, and hold the contract for working that pit. Banner and Husbands were removed to the General Hospital at Nottingham. The former has sustained a compound fracture of the left leg and a dislrcation of the right ankle, aad the latter is suffering from a contused wound of the scalp and a sprained ankle. Robinson and Bonser were taken to their own homes, where they are attended by Dr. Williams end Mr. Thompson. Robinson has his right hip badly contused, one feet dislocated, and ho complains of severe pain insiee; he is believed to be in groat dan ger. Bonser has several ribs on the left, side and a bone in his right ankle fractured. In the absence of an cfE dal ingeiry it is to be feared that the accident is entirely th e resalt of reckless inattention. The rope, which had been a year and a half in use , was worn out, and there fore could not sustain weights any longer, even light ones. Our reporter was informed in the village that the colliers had for some time past suffered themselves to he raised and lowered by the defective rope with fear and trembling, and tbat they had more than once re monstrated against its use, but without their remon strancespoor fellows were hurled to the bott om , ono o f them exclaimed, " Oh! if this rope should break!" It is said that one of the engineers out off a o snapped, e and bei n t h heeded. Only one moment b e f ore i t g piece of the chafed cable after the accident, and destroyed it, so that it may not be forthcoming when required by the coroner or the Government inspector. FATAL STEAM -BOAT ACCIDENT. On Wednesday evening an accident happened on the Thames, off Bermondsey, which created a painful feeling of alarm sad excitement among the numerous persons who witnessed it. A f.:w minutes before six o'clock the Herne Bay Company's steam-packet Father Thames, from Margate and Herne Bay, was canning up the Pool at full speed, on her way to Fresh Wharf, when she met with a boat, containing five ballast getters and a lighter mar, who were crossing the stream from the south to the north side of Vie 'river. The people in the boat seemed tdarreed at the rapid approach of the steamer, and os they neared each other Captain Greenland, the master of the Father Thames, called to them to pull over, when a sudden panic arose among the people in the ballast boat, and two of the men in her stern jumped up and caught hold of the oare rowed by the two others, ht and pulled the boat a-stern, which trought her in nn athwart the steamer's bow, and swamped her I _,,, ea instant. The steamer's engines were stopped nu the collision took place, but the Father Tham es the boat had great wey on her, and went right over which was swarened, and the six men were d by Waterea en, in tee stream.
