LONDON READERS who prefer a SUNDAY PAPER, may be supplied with a THIRD EDITION, published exclu sively in the Metropolis on Sunday Morning, containing the SATURDAY'S POLICE and the GENERAL NEWS brought down to the time of going to press. Sold by all News men in Town and Country. On the 2d of January, 1841, was issued the First Number, and on the Ist of February will be published the First Part, of THE PENNY MAGAZINE, NEW sEniEs. The object which is proposed in thus commencing a New Series is to place the PENNY MAGAZINE still more corn p!etely at the Le id of Publications of largo circulation and uni versal interest. It has had the distinctioa of diffusing through out the community a source of enjoyment for merly inaccessible except to the rich has made the productions of Art cheap. A sum notless than Twenty Thousand Pounds has been ex pended upon its Wood Engravings ; and it has been mainly in strumental in creating the desire for Illustrated Works, and consequently in forming the School of English Artists, now unrivalled iu the world, who base supplied the demand which has grown up during the last nine years. The improvements in Wood Engravings during that period are most remarkable, and in this New Series it is proposed that these improvements should be available in their full extent. To effect this, the paper upon which the "Penny Magazine" is now printed will be slightly reduced in size; but is thickness and fineness of quality a larger expense will be incurred by the Publishers. With this advantage the quality of the printing will be greatly advanced, and justice will!be done to the eminent Artists, both as Designers and Engravers, who have been engaged for the New Series. Other improvements are also contemplated, of which the wog k itself will present the best evidence. Whilst its general character of utility will be strictly preserved, it w aspire to a beauty of Illustration which has never before been combined with extraordinary cheapness.

The newspapers you have sent me from time to time are acceptable on account of the sensible remarks they contain on currency, free trade, and other topics, which just now very much interest me. I hove gone through the " Im port Duties Report," and am much pleased with it. The various answers, and questions also, put to the witnesses ; show in a striking light the rapid progress of just and Übe. ral principles. I had no conception the manufacturers were so wise as to comprehend the injurious bearings on their interests of the restrictive system, nor that any pub lic men in England would think it prudent to denounce the wickedness and folly of the Corn-laws and other oppressive acts in such severe and contemptuous terms as Mr. M‘Gregor, Mr. J. D. Hume, &c. I hops the proceedings of the Committee will be followed up 63 further examinations of other persons, and that copies of the report, or the substance of it, will be multiplied to thousands, and distributed through the nation, It is impossible but the great mass of property-men should soon find out the impossibility of maintaining your present po pulation of twenty-eight millions (by new census), and its Increase, on the plan of compelling them to buy bread and meat at twice the cost in the neighbouring countries. and that enormous burden in addition to a tax of 5")50 000,000 for current expenses, and $30,000,000 fur poor-laws, and an unknown amount for tithes, &c. How can your manufacturers compete with German, French, &c., and still more with us in such manufactures as we have the natural, and now, by favour of your bad manage ment, acquired abilities to prosecute ? The manufacture of coarse cotton goods is one of these. It commenced during the war of 1812, made no progress till 1815, when some few factories were established on the most approved footing, and succeeded in making money by the aid of the tariff of 1816. Since then we base gone extensively into it, though, owing to want of experience, economy, and capital, few only have succeeded in making money. Now, however, a cons:derable portion do succeed, and we are constantly improving. To' show the rapid progress in manufactures. I refer to 1826.27, and find we only worked up 103.483 bales of cotton, of about 340 or 3501b5. ; in 1833-4 it extended to 196,413 bales; in 1838-9, 276,018 bales; and in 1840, 291,279 'Wes, of about 4001bs. each, ccp.al to 116,511,6001b5. of cotton. You will find, on reference to " Burn's Glance," which I am told is good authority, that the average consumption of the United Kingdom, of yarn spun and consumed in the United Kingdom, does not exceed the quantity consumed in these States. To this must be added, for 1839, an import of cotton fabrics, chiefly from Great Britain, of fourteen millions of dollars, at a duty of 35 per cent. on tile average, and twenty-five other charges, making upwards of twenty-three millions. I have once or twice called your attention tr, two points connected with this country, peculiar to us, and which should be borne in mind by your statesmen in regulating the commercial intercourse between the two countries, and induce them to found it on the broadest principles of free trade. 1. The extraordinary wealth of this country in propor tion to its population; it is, out of all comparison, greater than any nation, England excepted. 2. The national wealth, instead of being mainly in the hands of one-fifth of the people, is, nine-tenths of it, in the hands of eight-tenths of the nation, and so divided as to give the great mass a command over not only the neces saries, but the comforts, and what in most countries would be called the superfluities of life. Tha consequence is we are very efficient consumers. Fur instance, we, a nation of 16 or 17 millions, have been consuming about as many cotton fabrics as you with : - z5 or 26 millions, the richest and most industrious and most civili:cd nation in the world. 01 coffee we consume 85 to 90 millions of pounds (you, about 25 millions), which passes to consumers at about 11 to 12 cents. per lb., about one-third of what your consumers pay. There is no duty here on that article, or on tea. Of tea you consume a larger proportion than we do ; but we consume 240 to 250 million pounds of sugar. Our con sumption of cotton is about equal to France with. 31 millions of people, and to that of 50 or 60 millions of Russians, who only consume about 40 to 4 1 . nillions of pounds of sugar. Igo into these facts to ow the importance of having an open unrestricted trade. Your politicians negotiate for years to gain sonic advantage in a treaty with Portugal or Spain, or some country of a like condition, and what is it worth if you succeed ? W hat can be gained by a nation of beggars, monks, and smug glers like the Portuguese or the Spaniards? Why a free trade with the single state of New York, now containing 2,420,000 persons, is of more value than the whole trade of the peninsula of Spain and Portugal. Again, look to another consideration, the rapidity with which we in crease and therireurnstauces, namely, cheap lands, cheap government, &c., which render it nearly certain—certain as the future can be, of our continued increase in even a greater ratio. Dr. Franhlin, sixty years or more ago, before we had an enumeration, pre dicted that we should increase in a ratio of doubting in twenty-fuse years. It was thought extravagant, as beyond any instance in history. On referring to the census of 1790, I find the population doubled in 23 or 23?; years : proceeding in a steady ratio to 1830. Since 1830, to judge of the returns made of the 1840 enumeration, the increase is at the rate of doubling in 20 years. The in crease between 1920 and 1830 was 331 ; between 1830 and 1840 it is 40 per cent., which will carry up the num ber to 18 minims. If we go on at the same rate, we shall have 25,200,000 in 1850, and 36 millions in 1860 ; and if so, we shall come up to the population of France. Why will not your statesmen look ahead, and act in refer ence, not to what we are, but to what we must be ? The Congressional returns of commerce, navigation, &c., present many facts of an interesting and gratifying nature our exports are 27 millions of dollars in excess of iraports. This Indicates large payments on our foreign debt, and that this country has got rid of her surplus of foreign goods, and will be in a condition to import, and ghat is more important, to pay for more goods. If you would take our grain at a duty of 55., or even 10s. a quarter, we could send you to the amount of from 2,000,0001. to 3,000,000/., and the grain-growing States, if that was a permanent rate, would at once extend the cultivation, and would always, or in most seasons, have a surplus to barter for your cottons, woollens, glass, iron, &c. I regret, in the examination before the Import Duties Committee, to find how few facts were brought out as to the extent and character of our trade with you, and as to the resources of this country, which, under a restrictive policy on your side and ours, may be brought into com petition with yours. An iron-master is questioned as to our iron ore, coal, &c., but answers as if it were uncer tain if we abounded in them. There arc in the 26 States about 80,000 square miles of coal and iron of the richest character, and waiting only for an increase of capital, skill, and-experience to work them up to an extent equal to our consumption. As to coal, we produce nineteen-twentieths ~,f all we consume, and of iron, perhaps three fourths ; - . but its dearness prevents the free use made of it in England. In Pennsylvania alone, it is computed they have 10,000 miles of coal and iron, being about five times the extent of the coal and iron of the United Kingdom. We are now opening copper mines, and they begin to be profitable. I wish some well-informed American had been called, and if rightly questioned, facts to fill fifty pages might have been procured of a very striking cha racter. Our navigation was 2,100,000 tons the end of 1839, and is now about 2,200,000, the returns not having been made. It was . under 1,200,000 ten years ago ; yours was in !836, according to Porter, about 2,730,000 tons in the United Kingdom and colonies, having only in crewed since 1826, in ten years, about 1,500,000 tons. The " Tobacco Convention" have met and reported that their efforts to procure any attention in Europa to their request for a reduction of the excessive duties on that staple having failed of success, they deem it expe dient to call on Congress to enact discriminating duties on the products of those countries. It will not be done, but this party will join the Eligh Duty Tariff Party in 1842 i❑ procuring extreme duties. The matter will come on for discussion next Congress, a body more favourable, ac is our General Harrion and his supporters, to prohi bitory duties, than the Van Buren party. It is, in truth, the great mass of the nation who favour this bad system, and therefore cannot be lessened unless we can induce your Government to repeal the Timber and Corn-laws, and it should be done soon, immediately to have any died on the new proposed tariff. We shall probably resume specie payments in Phila delphia and sun:: other cities on the 15th of January, but the return to specie payments will not be universal south of the Potomac. It is even uncertain if the United States Bank can maintain specie payments; it depende, perhaps, on new borrowings on your side. —Morning Chroniclo. Two PERSONS KILLED BY THE FALLING IN OF AN OVEN.—The following accident, unfortunately ac companied by the loss of two lives, occurred on Tuesday evening in the parish of St. Mary, Paddington :—Mr. Morre, a master baker, hal lately taken the premises situated 49. Du Iley-grove, Harrow-road, Paddington, for the purpose of commencing business there, and had caused a new bakehouse and oven to be constructed. Mr. Collins, a master bricklayer, had just finished the building of the oven ; end on Tuesday evening, between five and six o'clock, he, Mr. Morre's brother, and a lad, named Elisha Palmer, in the employ of Mr. Morre, entered the oven to clear away the loose fragments of brick and mortar that remained in it after its construction. Whilst so employed the crown of the oven suddenly gave way, and the three persons just mentioned were buried in the ruins. Mr- Morre, alarmed by . their cries, hastened with some neigh. hours to their assistance, but twenty minutes elapsed be fore the bodies were extricated. They were all in a state of insensibility, but Messrs. Anderson and Stewart, sur geons, having been called in, restored Mr. Morre's brother to life, but were not equally fortunate with Collins and the lad Palmer, who were irrevocably suffocated. Their bo dies were removed to the dead-house near the Paddington Police-station, to await, before interment, the verdict of a Coroner's Jury. FATAL EFFECT OF ADMINISTERING CAN TIIARIDES OINTMENT BY MISTAKE.—On Wednesday an inquiry took place at Spital, Berks, into the cause of death of Letitia Friday, a girl only sixteen years of age, who died on Friday last in consequence of cantharides ointment having been administiked to her by mistake for sulphur ointment by the hospital-sergeant engaged to dispense the drugs at the Infantry Hospital at Spital. The jury, hay iag been a short time in consultation, cam e to the decision that the death of Letitia Friday was occasioned by the ap plication of blister ointment by mistake for the usual sul phur ointment, for the cure of the itch.; PRICE sd. CHARTIST MEETING IN BIR. MINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY.—Last night a meeting' was held in one of the numerous dissenting chapels in this town which have been recently rented and opened for Divine service, under the name of the Christian Chartist Church. The meeting was convened "to take into con sideration the propriety of sending delegates to express the opinion of the Chartists of Birmingham on the ques. tion of Universal Suffarge, at the ensuing meeting to be held at Leeds," and at seven o'clock the Christian Church, which is capable of holding some hundreds of persons, was filled to overflowing. After an animated discussion, the passing of several re. solutions, the formation of a committee, and other prelimi nary business had been disposed of, Mr. COLLINS observed, that he had been deputed to move the first resolution That this meeting views with intense interest the approaching meeting to be held at Leeds ; and being fully sensible of the great importance of a perfect understanding amongst the various classes of the principles and intentions of such meeting, do hereby declare, that having, after mature consideration, adopted as the object of their political struggles the principles contained in the People's Charter, we will neither countenance nor assist any body, however numerous or wealthy, or however specious their pretexts, who shall, through expediency, seek an enactment short of the f.l measure of rights therein. contained." Mr. Collins said that vs 'tether he looked upon the meeting at Leeds as a movement of the Government, to see hew small a measure would satisfy the people as the price of retaining oftce— whether it was a movement occasioned by the necessities of the middle classes, to try on what terms the working men could be induced to co-operate with them—or whether it were called to consider the best means of promoting the interests of the country, it was a subject of the utmost parlance, and one that demanded their most watchful vigi lance. They must not be allured by a parade of wealth or titles on .the one hand, nor should they suffer themselves to be cajoled, by flattery or by sophistry on the other; but they must recollect that they were to contend for nothing more, and accept of nothing less, than the principles con tained in the People's Cha r t e r. —(Ch eers ) The great question they would be called upon to consider was Uni versal Suffrage as opposed to Household Suffrage, and he hoped the Delegates whom they elected to represent them at the meeting would exhibit that temper, intelligence, and firmness, which would prove to the Whig and Radical ga.: thering that they were not undeserving of the rights which they claimed.—( Cheers.) The resolution was unanimously adopted; and, on the motion of Mr. ENIPSON, seconded by Mr. BLAXLAND, late Member of the Town Council, Mr. Collins, of Bir mingham, and Mr. Arthur O'Neill, of Glasgow, were ap pointed Delegates to attend the meeting at Leeds. Mr. BLAXLAND hoped that the Chartists of Birmingham would act together, and at the next election, which he considered to be now close at hand, they would have an opportunity of returning Feargus O'Connor as Member for their borough.—( This proposition was received with loud acclamations.) A Committee was appointed to arrange for the depar iure of the Delegates, and to correspond with them during their absence ; after which Mr: O'NEILL read an address, embodying the opinions of the Chartists of Birmingham on the various topics that were likely to engage attention at the approaching Leeds demonstration. A subscription wits made to defray the travelling ex penses of the Delegates to the north. SCOTLAND. ELINBURGII, MoNnay.--Tor the last few days the mails have been hours behind time, owing to the roads bring blocked up with snow. The road betwixt here and Car lisle on Friday was so bad as to respire six horses for the mail. When it arrived at that dreary exposed part of the country at Mosspaul Inn, which is 32 miles north of Car. lisle, the innkeeper informed the guard, that the road northward was quite impassable, as carriers coming south ward had to abandon their ca ti, and fight their way with great difficulty to the irn with their horses; indeed, that the road was a regular block up, and therefore advised him to remain with the mail until Sunday morning, for to go forward was haz irdous in the extreme. The guard, how ever, considered it his duty to proceed as far as he possi bly could, and therefore set out with six horses. The coach thus proceeded with considerable difficulty for three miles, when it was upset. The gust d mauageJ to procure aid, and the coach, in which there were no passengers, after many unsuccessful attempts, was at length raised. The guard retained the men who had given their assistance for the purpose, of helping to clear the road, and especially to remove the carts which had been abandoned on the track. They succeeded in getting on for a mile and a-half, when they were brought to a stand-still by an extensive and formidable wreath of snow. There was no alternative but to attempt to hew out a path. They succeeded in clearing the obstruction, and advanced with a fair start for another rrile and a half, when • they were similarly opposed. This was at 12 o'clock on Saturday night, and the party notwith standing this tempestuous state of the weather, manfully endeavoured to clear their way, but S 3 deep was the snow at this spot, that with a short intermission they had to la bour until half-past nine on Sunday morning. At this hour the mail coming south which lett Edinburgh at seven o'clock on Saturday night, hove in sight, being conveyed in a post. chaise. It was then deemed advisable to ex change vehicles, as Mr. Macintyre, the Guard, had so far cleared the route southward. When ready to start north ward with this post-chaise, the succeeding mail front the southward also came up, drawn by six horses ; so that both mails, namely, that which left London on Friday evening, and the one on Saturday morning, progressed onward to gether, the post chaise taking the lead as a pioneer to the regular mail-coach. In this way they reached Tor sonce Inn, twenty-six miles to the south of Edinburgh ; here the roads were again so heavy that it was found necessary to attach an additional pair, or horses, even to the light post-chaise. From this point to Fushie.bridge, the road crosses Middleton Muir, where a road bad been cut, in some parts, through no less than ten feet of snow, while from three to four feet of snow still remained on the surface of the ground. At various places it was with the greatest difficulty that the vehicles could be kept from overturning. Betwixt Fushie Bridge and Edinburgh the progress was comparatively easy. We are assured that for several years the roads to the south have never been so bad as they were oil Saturday night arid Sunday morn ing. During the long-continued storm in January and February,,lB:3B, when several of the north country roads were blocked up for three weeks, the London mail, via Carlisle, was, on the worst day of the storm, only nine hours behind its time, which was the longest detention it experienced during that winter. DUMFRIES. The snow which fell on Saturday was folloLed by rain as the night set in, and by daylight on Sunday fields, gardens, trees, shrubberies, and house-tops had undergone something approaching to a complete revolution. Patches of snow still remain, aM may linger for days, should the frost return or the weather remain dry ; but the great breadth has been swept away to mingle in a liquid state with the waters of the Solway. The woods, formerly so beautifully frizzled, have resumed !their usual sombre ap pearance in January. The roads, although heavy, are again open ; so that in a day or two at furthest her Majesty's mails will arrive and depart at the times ap pointed, without further let or hindrance. At eight o'clock on Sunday morning the ice between the bridge:. and to the verge of the caul broke up with a tremendous crash; nor was there merely one but a series of explosions, not unlike distant thunder; and for a time the melee was fearful to look on, as the gorged elements above and below rent, roared, spputed, and y ~ EXTRAORDINARY COURAGE.—The Timer le contains the following narrative:--" At nightfall, on the 2d instant, two men knocked at the door of the cure of Carignan, near Friburg, and being let in, begged for charity. One of them, pretendiafr to be ill, requested the cure to give him a recommendation in suiting to some medical man who would give him advice gratis. M. Money, the cure, consented, and went to his secretaire; but he had scarcely written three words before he was felled to the ground by one of the men, and lay senseless and bleeding. At the same moment the other made an attack upon the female servant, the only other person in the house, expecting to make an easy conquest. She, however, made a resolute and powerful resistance, and struggled with such success that she drove her assailant out of the room into the passage, and continued her exer tions till she got him to the head of a staircase, leading down to a cellar. Making a last desperate effort, she threw him headlong to the bottom. The fellow, however, still held h:s grasp, and drew her down with him. The contest lasted some time longer, but the brigand at length, severely injured by the fall, became exhausted, and relin quished his hold. Stimulated by this success, the un daunted woman carefully stole up the staircase, made her way cautiously through an adjoining barn—avoiding two women connected with the robbers, one keeping watch at the back, and the other at the front of the house—and, without her cap and shoes, which had come off in the con flict,hich and divested of other parts of her garmen . ts These, however, She found none but women at home. pitchforks inspired by her courage, armed themselves with leur P e's house. and other rude weapons, and hastened to the, associates, dis couraged had been torn from her person, ran to call the neighbours.

FATAL ACCIDENT.-011 Wednesday evening Strand, before Mr. fliggs, Coroner for West street, . ofthe of John Hi - minster, on view an inquest was held at the Charing-cross Hospital, Ager menidteakoeffn,'‘b. whose death occurred under the following circumstances : Messrs. Hitchinson and Co., ale merchants, Duchy-wharf. Savoy-street, Strand, stated that on Monday evening last h e and deceased were unloading Messrs. Hitchinson's (their employers) cart at the bottom of Savoy-street, when the horse suddenly ran back. Deceased got out of —William Harriet, of No 6, Sav the cart to lay hold of the horse's head and stop him from hacking. While doing this, the animal etintinued to face the cart back; and deceased was violently, jammed in be tween the cart and a wall. He was immediately cenveyed to the Charing-cross Hospital. On being examined, his breast-bone was found to be fractured, and six orbis ribs were broken, of which injuries he died on the following day. Verdict—Accidental Death, fI4ATIONS:' Now BRENTFORD, extreme fineness of the day has —, Aligyes.,t hiwpf persons into the town, for the purpose of wltrieNtThetke reality of the extensive destruction occasioned by the fearful inundation on Sunday morning last, and throughout the day every avenue leading to the banks of the Grand Junction Canal, from which a view could be obtained, has bean thronged by persons having that object. As it was arranged at the meeting last evening that the owners of every barge should send four men, and the owners or agent of every monkey.bcat two men for the purpose of making a joint effort with the Grand Junction Company to raise the wrecks, a body of men assembled about seven o'clock this morning for that purpose; but, in the absence of the proper gear and of a person to super intend, very little was done. At nine o'clock Sir Francis Head arrived at Brentford, on the part of the Canal Com pany, and on being informed of the decision of the meet ing, objected to it, expressing his belief that it ought to devolve on the Navigation Committee of the Thames to sec to the raising of the wrecks, but tbat if the Com pany did it, V.:e arrangements and execution of the task must be entrusted to their officers. After much discus 'ion, that arra►►gement was, we understand, agreed to, and it was determined that the operations should commence to-morrow morning. The flood has since Sunday greatly subsided, zet the water was last night much higher than usual, anda barge belonging to a lighterman named Marsden, while lying in the canal, was swamped. Between sixty and seventy of the men, women, and children belonging to the monkey boats still continue in mates of the Infant School in the Butts, supported by the subscriptions cf the inhabitants. • INQUEST ON ONE OF THE SUFFERERS. At noon a Jury was impanelled at the Catherine Wheel public-house, before Mr. T. Baker, to inquire into the circumstances attendant upon the death of Witliarn Spruce, aged 19 years, who was drowned during the late inun. eation. . . The CORONER—The inquiry upon which they were about to enter appeared to him to be one which they cocld not properly bring to a conclusion withot.t, in some measure, entering into the causes which led to the calamity; to as .certain which it would probably be necessary to adjourn the inquiry to another day. He would therefore suggest to the Jury that they should view the body, and also the spot where the occurrence took place, and on their return receive evidence as to the identity of the deceased, and then adjourn for a week. Oa the return of the Coroner and Jury to the icquest room, The CORONER said, from the view they had talc{ n, there was no doubt in his mind that, on the removal of the wrecks, other bodies would be found. He would, as he .bad pre viously said, take the evidence of persons, as to the identity of the deceased, end leave the primaiy cause and the lia bility of parties, should any be blameable,' to another time, as in that case the Jury would require the report of a per son scientifically competent to determine those points. The I?.ev. Dr. Stoddard observed that, as the clergyman of the township, he had attended with the churchm.rdens, for the purpose of stating to the Coroner and Jury that several applications had been made to them by inhabitants, that a full inquiry into the causes of the calamity should be gone inc. There was no doubt the flood bad been the primary cause ; but if the gates were not opened to allow the water 1.0 pass oil', and if therefore any persons should be to blame, an important question would arise as to the liability of patties. lie therefore hoped the inquiry would be adjourned, that the fullest evidence might he adduced. The CORONER inquired whetter the Magistrates had in stituted any inquiry on the subject, and was answered in the negative. Richard Sivers examined,--A am a bargeman, and re side in the Ham, New Brantford. I knew the deceased, William Spruce. lie was a barge boy, in the employ of Mr. William Fowler, a lighterman, at Brentford End, and was about zunetven years of age. The body which has been viewed by the Jury is that of William Spruce. A Juror. —What in your opinion, was the cause of the barges geving adrift ? Witnes9. —I should say the tint ber-floias. Examination continued. —On Sunday, at eleven.o'clock, observed the body of the deceased lying on its side under the waters of the Grand Junction Canal, opposite 11Ir. Roger's house, in New Brentford, and as the waters sub sided they left his arm apparent. I have no doubt the de ceased was forced into that position by the flow of the waters. He was apparently drowned, and free from any marks of violence.. The accident I conceive arose from the heavy flow of water, caused by the melting of the snow and of rain, which forced away the timber. Seve ral floats of timber, I supposed lying in the river Brent, called the Old River Brent, and which were not sufficiently fastened, gave way, and carried no less -than fourteen barges, and about sixteen monkey-boats awayi and threw them all in a heap, two, three, and even four, -upon each other, so as to be raised upwards of twerityleet- above the level of the water, where they now remain -by the Duke of Northumberland's wall, opposite the Boar's Head-yard. The wall hqs also been forced down by the water. By the CURONEU—I know of no actual breach in the banks of the canal,. but only of a rise in the waters above the banks and locks of both the river and canal. A Juror observed that the. locks were not at all opened at the time of the flood, which ought to have been done when the water was found to be rising so much. Examination resumed—The water, when at the highest, rose to within less than a foot of the top of the arch of Brentford-bridge. By the CovONER—Do you'consider the timber floats were properly placed where ycu have stated? Witness--No, I do not. The barges would not, in my opinion, have got afloat had not the timber driven them. They would never have been swamped and wrecked to the number of near thirty, had it not been for that. I cannot tell the exact number, as evcral arc out of sight in the water. The loss of property must be immense ; by some it is estimated at 50,000/. By the Jury—Tilliposition of the timber floats was dan gerous. I consider the whole accidental, and cannot at tach blame to any one; but I have known similar floods of water from the ice suddenly breaking up, without da maging any of the craft. There were then, however, no timber floats there. The canal is dangerous to navigate when these floats are there. The timber belongs to Messrs. Dowion and Co. Ido not know to whom the right et navigating the stream belongs, unless to the cor poration of the City of Londcn. A Juror observed there were other timber floats there besides Messrs. Dowson's. Some belonged to Mr. Os- Lorne, end some to Mr. Saunders. The CORONER then suggested that, as a wide and vastly impeatent lield had now been. opened, the inquiry had bet ter be adjourned. A Juror thought it would be better, before an adjourn ment was agreed to, that the monkey boatmen might be examined, as they might probably be gone to their homes before the Jury met again. The CORONER expressed his readiness to abide by the wishes of the Jury. Cocksey examined—l live at Aldborough in Shropshire, and am a boatman belonging to the Queen monkey boat, which is the property of the Horsley Com pany. My boat was attached to the barge William Henry, belonging to Mr. WAliani Fowler ' which was moored off Mr. howler's w h ar f, just thliw Brentford-bridge. My boat was outside of the barge. About half-past three o'clock, or Iron, that to four o'clock, on the morning of Sunday last ; I saw the deceased on the top of the cabin of his own barge, as we were corning from Mr. Fowler's wharf, round the Ham, in the direction of where the boats, &c., were afterwards found. We were going us rapidly a:: a bird flying. The barge had both timber and ice with her. I did not sec the deceased knocked off the cabin of the barge, neither did I see him fall into the water. The timber kept coining down the stream for two hours, and broke the barges away flow their mow ings. Nothing could resist the force of the timber. By the ConoNEn—The waters were rising for full three bouts. It was full a yard in half an h o u r . W e were driven against the Duke o f Northumberland's wail, and I put a boy over, who fastened a rope to a tree, by which means no ices than 21 men, women, and children were safely got over the wall, and their lives spared. Deceased was asleep in the cabin until we awoke him, when he came up to the top of the cabin. By a Juror—The timber floats were the cause of all the destruction, in icy opinion. The water was completely blocked up by the timber and ice. The CoitoLa remarked, if the timber could be proved to have been moored there then a question amounting to manslaughter would arise. They would not, however, enter into that at present. John Jones, of Leicester, boat-boy to the Tipton ka i F i s s monkey.boat, afforded no additional informatio n.

The train reached the spot where this serious mis chief had occurred soon after midnight. Precautionary measures having been taken to give warning to the ad vancing train, we arc happy to hear has prevented injury either to the carriages or the passengers they conveyed. The drivers of the train, upon being made aware of the gulf before thorn, stopped, and shoved back to Leicester. An omnibus was then engaged for taking the mails to Derby, a distance of 25 miles ; post-chaises were also en gaged for the passengers. The length of embankment carried away is computed at from two to three miles,— Skedield iris. SUDBURY. JAN. 18.—In consequence of the rain and rapid thaw, we yesterday experienced the highest flood remembered here for the last ten years. Owing to the strength of the current bringing, down large pieces of thick floating ice, fears were entertained for the safety of the bridges, &c., but, though struck with great violence, no serious damage was done ; the water rose so high in the street opposite All Saints Church, in Cross-street and Ballingdon, that foot-passengers were prevented from passing without sub jecting themselves to au inconvenient wetting. The rear ing of the water and ice, as it passed between and against the piles of the bridge leading into Essx, was so great as to be heard at a considerable distance. Many gardens, and the first or lower floor of several houses in the lower part of the town and Ballingdo e , were flooded several i nc h es d ee p, the current passing through the passages into the strect.—ilury Pest.
