The Parent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which, for want of careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of.. young per sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con sumption, heart disease, tubes, Rce., the sole and exchislve origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other Impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. IS'o man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity Itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred con summation of marria g e. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. how is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the flilfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind P It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the ottiect of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION. Illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of tho reproductive organs ; with practical observa ions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, infection. By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Liall, London, Honorary Member of the London hospital Medical Society, Scc. This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of these diseases. REVIEW OF THE WORTC. La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the hook before us such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of plillozephy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a profluction calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of hls boy. By en bought innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advico of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

Gentlemen.--I should not have addressed you again so soon merely to report progress. My friends deem the result of our first week's proceedings highly satisfac'ory, but I have such important communications to make to you on matters of principle that I will not waste your time by anticipating the poll. My object is to de serve success, even more than to obtain it. Imputations of rancour towards Roman Catholics were made against me at the beginning of the contest. No on 3 has at tempted to substantiate this imputation at any of the meet ings which I have attended. With my controversies on purely religious topics, Electors feel they have no , con cern. The only question with them is, have I ever proposed, abetted, or contemplated injustice to any class of religionists ? If so, let it be proved. lam ready to demonstrate that I have used no arguments about the contemplated endowment of the Roman Catho lic priests which they would not be perfectly welcome, if our position was reversed, to use against me.. Henceforward, if men of honour think lit to assail me on this point in my absence, I am sure they will have the manliness to try to substantiate it in my presence. I am ready to meet - them; in fair argument, on the day 'of nomina tion. I only ask to receive beforehand a written statement of the imputation against me, and of the facts by which it is thought to be sustained. • - Failing such proef, I call upon all friends of Civil an , l Religious Liberty to support me. I call on them. to be as true to their princi ples as my opponent is to his, Mr: Denison, at Halifax, on Satur day, declared that he should, .upon principle, have voted against Mr. Fitzwilliam, as an advocate of the , endowment of the Irish priests. Liberals of all classes and of religions, he not outdone by a Con servative in fidelity to your convictions. Yon desire equality for all religions, and that is my desire ;too. I will not be a party to en-, dow the Roman Catholic church, neither will I consent, to pay out of the public parse additional Colonial Bishops of the Church of England., ' Mr. Denison said on Saturday, that he concurred in a system of National Education based upon rligion, but that he disap proved aiding the Roman Catholic schools, unless on condition that the religion taught their should not be the religion of their own teachers I I can only express my astonishment at such a de claration. On the broad ground, then, of principle, I appeal to the Liberal. Electors of the West Riding not to be ashamed of their colours. Let Toryism heist false flags to lead the unsuspicious to believe that it has changed. Let it lower the " Blee" standard, to which even its enemies never refused the name of " true," and let it hold ferlh the white flag of a hollow and dishonest truce to men who wish to be deceived ! Bet let those who have inherited from their ancestors the principles and the symbols of liberty, rally round the Orange standard I Rest assured that, of all impolitic things, a hollow co alition is the most impolitic. The party which adheres to principle is th 9 only one which can count upen•success, because it is the only ono which deserves it. _ _ fam, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obliged servant, C. E. EARDLEY, THE NICOLL : this is an abbreviation of the title given to a Patented Outer Coat, called " The Nicoll's Chlamys Palctot," the said curtailment being first suggested in the daily correspondence of the several Agents appointed under the above patent, and it will no doubt be generally adopted in preference to the name in full, through being more convenient to use. It is perhaps unnecessary to observe, that although the original title may thus be cut down, the Patentees will not hesitate duly to forward, upon application to their Ware-rooms, 114, 116, 120, Re gent-street, or 22, Cornhill, the useful and elegant garments in ques tion, thongha very blue or even a rather green Nicoll be desired. THERE is a double use and purpose in the Nicola', or PATENT CHLA.MYS PA LETOT, In other words. the same garment can be used as a warm winter Overcoat, and will look equally- well as a light Paletot (usued In walking, &c.). indeed, for the latter purpose it represents the popular and fashionable Registered Paletot, which, when it is desirable to firm into a warm winter garment, the same is transformed into the Nichol], by the simple addition of a wadded Interlining, which is in corporated with the lighter Coat in a most perfect and original manner; this can be attached or detached without the least trouble to the wearer. A most moderate price is fixed for these two garments in one, viz., Three Guineas. It has been secured from Imitation by Royal Letters Patent, and can be had in London only, of Messrs. Nicoll, 114, 116, 120, Regent street, and 22, Cornhill. MEMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, and MEDICAL PROFESSIONS, it is presumed, will all readily concede their patronage to the now patented invention called 'TEE NICOLL, inasmuch that, besides its soberness of colour (a black, or almost invisible green, or dark blue), and unpretending appearance, it is the only garment extant which presents to gentle men thus engaged a proper defence against the ills arising from a variable climate (the origin of colds, Br.e.) To these it is said profes sional men are more susceptible thin others, arising from clase study, and their otherwise general sedentary habits ; now should the morning atmosphere be mild or warm, and the latter part of the day cold, the Nicoll is a garment that will provide for both contingencies. Row this is effected is more fully described, with the prices, in one of the accompanying advertisements. T' MERCHANTS, STOCK BROKERS, A. UNDERWRITERS, &c., going to or returning from the City, ss also all others requiring a warns wrapper or overcoat morn. ings and evenings, but whose bustling avocations during midday, by inducing a proper circulation of blood, the possession of a lighter Paletot would then be desirable, as too often the case, the said warm coat is suddenly thrown aside, and much risk to bodily health in curred. The price of this garment is given in the annexed Adver tisement ; but it can only be had in London., of the Patentees, Messrs. Nicoll, 114, 116, 120, Regent-street, and 22, Cornidll. RAILWAY TRAVELLERS pronounce th e NICOLL or PATENT CIILAMYS PALETOT to be indis pensable to their comfort upon a journey for the dye following reasons:— First—lt is a warm overcoat. Secondly—lt can be converted into a light overcoat at the journey's end. Thirdly—lf travelling by night (or even in The day-time) when an ordinary hat is irksome, a portion of the lining (which is perfectly concealed till required) can then be brought out, and by a ready and Most simple contrivance, can be converted into a graceful cap or hood, which effectually protects the head, ears, neck, from cold draughts of air. Fourthly—lt has a pocket protector, which, as its name would in dicate, preserves from loss the railway ticket or loose cash, &c. The last, though not least, important distinction presented by the Nicoll, beyond anything of its stature ever laid before the public, consists in its moderate price, already submitted in anothor adver tisement (to which add half a guinea for the Chlamys Hood). In deed, was not the sale of thousands contemplated, Messrs. Nicoll would lose rather than be fairly remunerated by the low prices quoted. A GENTS for NICOLLS' PATENTS.—AII IX those Firms throughout the various parts of the United King dom and the Colonies, who, up to the present time, have held a local Agency for the Sale of the above Patentees' original and popular in vention called the REGISTERED PALETOT, &c., will also hold the appointment for the sale of all the new Patents, subject to the usual conditions. Gentlemen, Non-Residents In the Metropolis, are constantly de siring that a mode of self-measurement should be published, as also the addresses of the Country Agents.

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION. Last night, about half-past ten o'clock, a fire, at tended with a serious destruction of property, broke out upon the extensive :range of premises in the occupancy of Mr. Clarke, wholesale bed and furniture warehouse, 227, Tottenham-court-road, at the corner of Store street. The first discovery was made by a person pass ing by the premises. Smoke, which he perceived pour ing. forth from the shop window shutters, convinced him that a fire was burning within. An immediate alarm was given, and the police coming up, they forthwith commenced knocking at the door, with a view of arous ing the inmates. Whilst they were so employed, a man suddenly made his appearance at the first floor front, and by leaping out of the window he succeeded in effect ing a safe retreat. The escape belonging to the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, stationed on the opposite side of the road, was in the course of a few minutes on the spot, but by , that period the flames had fired every compartment in the spacious building, and were rushing out of the various windows with such impetuosity as to prevent the machine from being raised either in front or at the sides of the blazing property. From careful inquiries, made by Mr. Baddelly and the several conductors of the society, there is every ground for sup posing that the whole of the residents were able to escape out of the building. Intelligence having been dispatched to the engine-stations with as litttle delay as possible, the various engines of the parish, London Brigade, County, and West of England Company arrived. The firemen then found the whole of Mr. Clarke's premises burning so furiously that the houses in Store-street, and those adjoining Mr. Clarke's place of business in Tottenham court-road, appeared doomed to destruction. Fortunately, an immediate supply of water was obtained from the mains of the New River Company, from which the fire. men set their engines to work; but in spite of the im mense torrents of water that were scattered over the fire, it continued to rage with the greatest vehemence, and it was not until half-past twelve o'clock this morn ing that the firemen were enabled to get the mastery over this fearful conflagration, and not until the flames had penetrated every portion of the establishment, de stroying in their progress the whole of the costly stock in tra , re, and nearly gutting the building. The houses on either side of Tottenham court road and Store-street. have sustained material damage by fire, water, and hasty removal of furniture. The origin of the disaster, or whether or not any of the sufferers are insured, could not be ascertained during the confusion which prevailed Mn.

The following particulars relating to this horrible catastrophe are from our Liverpool correspondent LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.--The steamer which plies between this port and Londonderry is due, in usual course, this evening, but in consequence of the severity of the weather, the agents do not think she can arrive before to-morrow's tide. We have collected from several sources the following additional particulars:— Captain Coppin, of Londonderry, who arrived in Liverpool this morning by the Belfast steamer, and who left Londonderry on Monday morning, was present when the bodies were removed from the steamer to the sheds, and the opinion of the medical men confirm the state ment, that the poor people were suffocated. This gentleman was present during the whole of the time the bodies "were being removed. It took thrte hours and a half to get the dead out, and as putrefaction had begun, the smell was so offensive that he had to send for spirits to give ,to the men to koep them in a state of half drunkenness to get them to go below. The place in which the poor creatures met their fate was about 20 feet long, 14 feet wide, and 7 feet high. It bad capacity for about thirty passengers; but so crowded was it that the dead lay four deep on the floor. The incidents and bereavements are deeply affecting. A little girl was saved who was coming to her father in Liverpool; the rest of the family wero with her, to the number of nine persons, and all except herself perished. Strong men as well as children were among the victims, and their efforts to escape appeared to have been great —one man's coat being torn completely from the sleeves in his unavailing attempts for deliverance. Captain Coppin attributes the suffocation to the fact of a tarpaulin having been thrown over the companion to keep the water out. The following is an extract of a letter received this morning by Messrs. John Herd and Son, of this town, from their correspondent at Londonderry:— " We have great excitement here to-day, owing to the steamer Londonderry, Captain Johnstone,, bound Trani Sligo to Liverpool, having put into this - vort--yes. terday with seventy-three passengers dead. Size sailed on Friday evening, and the night being stormy, the pas sengers were put below and a tarpaulin fastened round the companion. At a coroner's inquest held yesterday a verdict was returned that they died from suffocation. ' The captain and all the crew are committed to gaol. About eighty others were landed alive, and all are in custody for examination." How the story arose of these poor people having been murdered, by their fellow-passengers for the sake of plunder, or falling in a deadly conflict, after which the captain and crew were obliged to submit to the orders of the " pirates," is quite inexplicable. We have received the following letter from a cor. respondent in Londonderry : Londonderry, Dec. 4, A.M. No attempt at robbery or assassination has been proved at the inquest, which was partly gone into yes terday (Sunday), and which has been resumed this morn ing before the coroner, Mr. Lindsay, the mayor, and some of the borough magistrates. The facts disclosed at the inquiry were, that the Londonderry left Sligo on Friday forenoon, with her usual cargo of goods and cattle, and about 150 steerage passengers. The night coming on exceedingly boisterous, the most, if not all, of the poor people were forced to shelter themselves, either by the captain's orders, or by their own accord, which has not yet been disclosed, to go below, into what you know is called the fore-cabin of these boats ; and since the days of the Black Hole of Calcutta I have never read or heard of such a hole to cram, pack. or stow so many human beings in. The effect of this was dreadful, but more dreadful still when the crew came and fas tened a tarpaulin over the hatch or companion -way, which leads down to this place. The consequence was, that many of the poor unfortunates were suffocated soon, others afterwards ; and it has been told me by one of the survivors, that the scene more resembled a bedlam of unearthly infuriates than anything else that could be conceived. On questioning some of them relative to the story about the infamous deceptions which had been circulated, I was informed that it arose from the fact that many of the passengers had boxes of lucifer matches, and that they ignited these in their terror, with the view of obtaining a light. This fearful scene con tinued till one . poor fellow succeeded in reaching the deck, and alarming the mate and crew. Assistance was then rendered, but, alas! too late. Seventy-three of the unfortunates were saerificed. The whole affair seems still to be shrouded in ex treme mystery. I may mention that, by advices received, at the agent's for the vessel, from her owners in Glasgow, it would appear that they were no better informed on the subject. This letter, which is from the Messrs. Came• ron and Co., Glasgow, addressed to Messrs. Martin, Burns, and Co., of Liverpool, is dated sth inst., and was written on the receipt of a letter from Messrs. Lyon, of London, dated the 4th inst., is in substance as follows: We expected to have heard of the safe arrival of the Londonderry in Liverpool, at this date, instead of which we have received intelligence of her putting into the port of Londonderry under painful circumstances. We un derstand from Mr. Lyon (the agent of the firm in Lon donderry), that some dreadful catastrophe, which is not yet explained, has taken place on board of her, and by which from sixty to seventy of the passengers have lost their lives. An inquiry is going on before the authori ties, by whom the captain, crew, and the whole of the surviving passengers have been taken into custody. Mr. Lyon writes to say that the captain and mate were quite correct. The Northern Whig (Belfast paper) of Tuesday contains the following further particulars:— " Last night we received several communications, which show that the loss of life has amounted to seventy two individuals. We are not aware that any suoh cala mity has occurred since the year 1756, when, of 146 human beings thrust into " the Black Hole of Calcutta," only 25 were found alive a few hours afterwards. This has been, as it appears, an affair of simple suffocation, and the death struggles produced by it. The captain and crew are perfectly innocent of evil intent; but there is apparently an awful reckoning against them on the ground of gross inconsiderateness. They seem to have left out of account that a mass of human beings sent below decks must perish if they have no air. But we de not blame them very much. The system requires alter ation. We are bound to say that a vast change is de manded in favour of deck passengers carried by our steamers, and it will be surprisieg if this terrible slaugh ter fail to induce legislative interference. " We now proceed to give a number of the communi cations which have reached us. Although a portion of the annexed accounts has been written under the first impression respecting the alleged murders, yet we think it best to present both impressions and facts as they are set forth in the following communications : LONDONDERRY, SUNDAY, FOUR, P.M., DEC. 3. One of the most sanguinary and diabolical wholesale murders perhaps ever recorded took place on Sunday morning, about three or four o'clock-, on board the steamer Londonderry, whilst on her passage from Sligo to Liverpool, when off the county Donegal. The Lon donderry came into this port this morning, with about fifty or sixty dead bodies. All the surviving passengers and crew, except the captain, have been lodged in gaol, and, has just come from the wharf, after seeing, in the vessel's hold and steerage the dead and mu tilated bodies, his description of which is most harrowing. It appears that some passengers were on their way from Sligo, to take shipping at Liverpool, for Now York, and that either the crew, somo of the other passengers, or a gang of mis creants, combined to rob and murder them, knowing they , had money with them. A box of luci%r matches was first burned, for the purpose of smothering them. This failing, they commenced to strangle them with ropes; but this also being too tedious, other methods were taken, as many have their throats cut, and others their brains beaten out, and several are mangled in many ways. Those who are strangled are quite black. It is altogethera most shocking sight; and says he will never forget it. Many of the creatures are nearly naked; and all are piled together in the forepart of the ship, and the smell is already very offensive. During the period the murders were being committed there was one of the greatest storms the vessel ever encountered, dur ing which a good many cattle and sheep were killed, or knocked overboard. It is stated that one poor woman, who was asleep in the forecastle, and was awakened while the savages wore strangling another woman, having Made her escape on deck, was immediately laid hold of, and pitched into the stormy waves. When the steamer was coming up the river this morning, a little child looked tre the persons, steamer's here, alive. the mayor down the skylight into the fore-cabin, and cried out , There is my mammy!' pointing to a dead b o d y. Out of e a d ml(Mr. Lindsay) sent for a strong party o f m i litar y ci f ale m ly ilY a o f f te n police, who took all the surviving, passengers an and crew to the mayor's office, and he has been occupied all day investigating the horrible affair. From the number killed, the inquests will, of course, last a considerable time. 6 ' DERBY, SUNDAY NIGHT. The steamer Laden derry, plying between Sligo and Liverpool, left the former port en F r id ay, w i th, it would appear, an un usually large number of passengers—a great many of them, it is thought, being on their way to America. This morning, between nine and ten o'clock, she put into Derry, when word was immediately sent to the police au thorities that an awful sacrifice of life had occurred after leaving Sligo. When this news spread through Derry the whole city seemed to be in commotion, and sorrow was depicted on every countenance. The first official informa tion was obtained by the military and police marching through the streets, escorting prisoners to the police office ; and many were the rumours that were in circu lation as to the C 211.30 of the melancholy catastrophe. The authorities were promptly in attendance, and the captain and crew of the steamer were placed under arrest, in order that, if any blame should a tt ac h to t h em, they would be forthcoming. The passengers who sur vived the disaster were also lodged in safe keeping, as it was rumoured that robbers had taken passage by the ship, so that, on the voyage, they might have an oppor tunity of plying their vocation beyond the roach of the authorities. Another rumour says, that the severity of the weather obliged the officers of the ship to confine the passengers in the steera'e, so that the crew, in the working of the yessel, _ might meet with no interruption from them, can form no opinion as tome real caul e . oft ' 1 ,urrenee : but true it is, tliet......otie*, urvent • our lives have been l os t. T o giveAp • 4 tC4leeceralli• scrip tion of the awful scen e whi '..try3 pketemer resented, .this evening, is b e y on d m y .seer.;:; It - win near six .---" o'clock when I succeed e d n , gliftteg - "in e- -- te the yard t yhere the steamer li es ; an 'the Elena), On -entering, was quite enough to make the tte.;it hirdifeatted re coil from the scene, which, had they entered, would have presented itself to their view. er, through a feelin g o f idle curiositte tie‘ fe;&l l9lv oilttt ev er before the public, I resolved on going on board the steamer, so that I might be enabled to send you a short report of what met my view. " ' On board the steamer, at the hour stated above, I met two Catholic clergymen, the Rev. Mr. M'Laughlin and the Rev, Mr. Campbell, and Head constable Magee —the former on the look out if t'.‘ey could minister spi ritual comfort to any who were not really dead, and the latter paying attention to any circumstance connected with the bringing on deck of the bodies which might throw any light on the matter. The attendance of the clergymen was, in this world, of no avail, as death had done its work on all. There are survivors who, it is supposed, will (when examined) give some clue to the cause of the melancholy effair, but as an investigation i$ to take place to-morrow (Monday) I thick it would be imprudent in me to state more at present. "' When I boarded the steamer a number of Men under the direction of Head-constable Magee and his subordinates were gathering the bodies, to have them hoisted on deck. There they lay in the hold (horrify ing spectacle !) like merchandise packed up in sacks in course of transit.; some of them lying on each other four in depth, men, women, and children. Among the most affecting of all the melancholy scenes I have ever been present at was the seeing a father brotight up from the steerage with a child in his arms, the child clinging to the father, and the father clinging to the child, as if the cold embrace of death had not reached them. There were also wives holding by their husbands, sisters seem ingly flying for protection to their brothers ; and the last long, linger ing•took of affection was stamped on their countenances when the cold hand of death bad seized them. " Every one here is crying out, why is it that when we have Acts of Parliament limiting the number of pas sengers in stage coaches, steam-carriages, and American packet vessels, to the accommodation which they can severally afford, some practical regulation has not been made in reference to steam-packets ? It is a fact which cannot have escaped the observation of every one, that those poor creatures whose limited means cannot procure for them a cabin passage are generally treated like dogs, tossed about by the captain and the crew, as if they were beings of another species. " You will do a great service, in my humble judg ment, to the community, by cal;ing the attention of the country and the Government to the necessity of steam packet reform —a necessity which this distressing case loudly proclaims. I do not by any means intend by the above observations to insinuate that the crew of the vessel are in this case culpable. The result will not be known until after the investigation. There is one thing, at all events, certain—that the size of the storeage of the Londonderry is anything but adapted to the number of passengers with which, in this instance, she was crowded.' " DERRY, DEC. 3,1848.—0 n Friday evening last the Londonderry left Sligo, and had on board a large number of cattle, and a good many passengers. They had proceeded a considerable distance on their voyage, being out about ten hours. The wind getting high, the passengers were put down into the forecastle, and the passage-way shut up. The storm seemed to keep high still, and no one seemed to pay any attention to the shut-up passengers; but in the night a person, as far as I could hear, named Brennan, went to the mate, and told him that something extraordinary was occurring below amongst the passengers, which the mate thought was all nonsense; but he (Brennan) got a candle, and took the mate to open the passage-door, to see if it was true that some of the passengers were smothering; and, in doing so, the door bung opened, the candle- was blown out, which was caused by the foul air; and Brennan having two sisters and his mother below, suc ceeded in finding out where they were, and get hold of one sister and his mother and brought them up on deck, but his other sister was dead. On the alarm being given, a number of the hands madea search, and to their utter astonishment the immense number of seventy-two persons were found, between dead and persons unable to speak. Where the suffocation was very severe, many persons bled at both mouth and nose. Others have their arms blackened and bruised, and some are a litle disfi gured in the face, but very fe w —th e cause b e i ng crus h-. ing to get air at every nook, and falling on the top of one another, Every attention was paid to the persons who were living at the time, but a few only were saved.' (From the Banner of Ulster of Tuesday.) The following are the communications which have reached us on this subject:—_ 4 " Derry, Sabbath Evening, Four o'clock. e My dear Sir,—Oar peaceful city was this morning thrown into a dreadful state of excitement by the arrival at our quays of the Londonderry steamer, bound from Sligo to Liverpool, and out at sea since Thursday last. She had on board about forty dead bodies in a most awfully mangled state. Of course there are various reports as to how this dreadful mortality occurred— some say mutiny on board, others that persons went on board at Sligo on purpose to murder and rob farmers who sold their land and were emigrating to America. The Londonderry encountered much storm, and I believe the captain got the passengers, for the most part, to go down to the hold, and there they were either murdered or suffocated. Many of the dead bodies bear marks of violence. Of course, as to the true cause of this awful destruction of human life nothing can be distinctly known until the coroner's inquest is held, which I believe is to be either this evening or to-morrow morning. The remaining portion of the deck passengers were, on the arrival of the vessel here, escorted by the police and military, and lodged in gaol, and I believe such a melancholy sight as the survivors were has sel dom been paraded through our streets—half-naked and half-starved looking creatures.! Many cattle on board were also suffocated and taken out dead. It is stated that brim stone and other matters were set on fire, to suf focate the poor people in the hold. " Derry, Sabbath Evening, Five o'clock. "My dear Sir,—l sit down to write you a few par ticulars of one of the most awful and melancholy oe•- currences that have happened in this city, I suppose, since the siege. The Londonderry steamer, bound from Sligo to Liverpool, came in here this morning, at eight o'clock, with about fifty corpses on board; forty-three bodies have been landed; and the whole of this holy Sabbath has been occupied in an examination of them. The steamer left Sligo at five o'clock on Friday evening, a great number of the poor passengers being bound for America. The captain represented that a band of vil lains wero on board determined on robbery, and the work of massacre had commenced in the fcrecastle. Finding it necessary for the safety of himself, crew, and ship, he was obliged to secure them down in the hold ; but the opinion here is, that numbers of them must have been suffocated. The captain, all his crew, and all the surviving passengers, are in custody. lie did not come to the quay till a part of the police went on board ; and the military, with the mayor and principal gentlemen of the town, were present. The survivors, too, were such a picture of misery and distress as could not be beheld. Everything is doing to alleviate their sufferings. The brute creation have also shared in the sufferings. A great number of cattle are dead. We saw them carted in droves past our house.' " Since the above reached us, we have received direct the following, containing later particulars:— " Sabbath Evening, Six o'clock, A.M. " Sir,—l dropped Mr. M— a few lines this even ing regarding the frightful carnage on board the Lon donderry steamer, bound from Sligo to Liverpool, and told him to submit it to you, as you probably did not hear of it through any other channel. At six o'clock this evening there were sixty-eight dead bodies carried out of the hold, and it was supposed then they were not all out. A coroner's inquest was held this afternoon, and the verdict was, Died from suffocation.' It came out, I understand, on the inquest, that the unfortunate crea tnres were stowed down in the hold, and to prevent the -sea water from washing into the hold the hatches were put down; and, it is supposed, to prevent the unfortunate beings from making their way back again, the hatches were spiked down with a tarpaulin, to the total exclu sion of air, which must soon, and most certainly, have terminated the life of all. After the inquest the captain (Captain Johnston), the whole crew, engineer, engine men, and all hands engaged on board, were lodged in gaol, and most likely they will be examined before the magistrates to-morrow. The wretched survivors were placed in the Corporation Hall, and food forwarded to them by order of the magistrates. To witness such a pile of dead bodies as one of the stores of the Scotch steam-boat company presents, would wring tears from the most hardened, and almost frighten the spectator from the scene. We believe coffins are being provided for the dead." OVERLAND MAIL.—The merchants and others con nected with China, &c., are anxious to know the inten tions of the Government this month with regard to the Overland Mail, which is usually dispatched on the even ing of the 24th via Marseilles. The 24th in the present instance falls on a Sunday, and the following day is Christmas-day. Under these circumstances, the feeling seems to be that it would be desirable to dispatch the mail on the evening of the 23d, since, if it were delayed till the 26th, it would in all probability disarrange the homeward return mail in January, so as to retard ita arrival until after the 24th, and thus cause the loss of a month to the public in answering their correspondence from China, Singapore, &e. THE IRON TRADE.—With respect to, the state of the iron trade, the monthly circular of Mr. W. Short thus observes:—" Welch iron continues in limited de re.and, and the price has considerably declined during the month, sales at good makes having been effected (but it is said not by makers) at 4/. 15s. per ton, free on board in. Wales; and while 5/. to Si. ss. per ton is the general !nice asked, every desire is evinced to meet the market, if the doing so would induce orders. Scotch pig iron at GLsgow is quoted in the market there about 415., assorted 3-5 No. 1, and 2-5 No. 3 free on board, immediate cash, against store-keepers' warrants or makers' undertakings; but the makers' price for early delivery is, according to rake, from 2s. to 4s. per ton above this price. But little progress has yet been made towards the accumulation of stock at Glasgow, and a fair business is done daily for consumption. There is not much demand for export, as the late American advices announce a decline there, with some increase of stocks. In the absence of export orders an increase of stock in makers' hands is expected during the winter. Dealers, both here and in Liverpool, are, however, but sparingly supplied." 1.. 1 1EE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE TOWN— CLERK OF GREENOCK.—EDINBURGH, TIJESDAY.—The. trial of John Thompson for the attempted assassination of Mr. Grey, came on yesterday in the High Court of Justiciary, before Lord Chief Justice Clark, Lord Wood, and Lord Mackenzie, and ended in the conviction and sont9co of death Ca the prisoner% II E N I C O L L.
