RAJA OF SATTARA.

The petitioners prayed the House would interfere to induce the East India Company to take some steps to reinstate 'the Raja on his throne, if it should be found that he had been unjustly deposed, as the petitioners beliered.--Laid on the table. The fiillowing is the Petition above alluded to:— " TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS Or GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN PAR LIAMENT ASSEMBLED. 4 "The Petition of the British India Society ; a Society whose aim it is to make known the condition, and to advance the welfare, of th,^,ir fellow-subjects, the Na tives of India, in the belief that they can thereby best promote the interests of the British Empire : Showeth—Thtt there has lately occurred the case of a native Prince of India, the Raja of Sattara, who has been violently dethroned, and, with his family, exiled by the British Indian authorities ; a case in which the welfare of the natives of India at large, and tile honour and interests of this empire, are deeply con ccrm,d ; for which reasons your petitioners beg leave to submit to your Honourable House some of the facts of the ease, as established by evidence, namely— " From his accession in 1818, until the year 1836, this Prince was held up by the Government of Bombay, the Governor-General of India, and the Court of Directors, an example to all Native Princes. Four successive lioliti - ,111 Residents at his Court attest, by their personal knowledge, extending through nineteen years, the just ue.;:.; of this praise. " The traveiler in the Deccan, whenever he passed the boundary line which divides the territories under the dominion of :he East India Company from those under the dominion of the. Baja, had ocular proof presented to hire, in the plenty, the contentment, and the happiness h e c .ver)%vhere beheld, of the wisdom and justice. the nioderation and beneficence, of thie liaja's rule.

" 2s course of conduct so suited to your Highness's exalt 1 station, and so well calculated to promote the prosperity of your dominions, and the hap piness of :four people, as that which you have wisely and uniformly pursued, while it reflects the highest honour on your character, has im pArted to our minds the feeliug'i of unqualilied satisfac z,ion and pleasure. The liberality also which you have displayed, in executing at yol:r own cost various public works of great utility, and wl:iuli has so justly raised your reputation in the eye of tile princes and people of India, gives you an additional claim to our approbation, respect, and apilause. . ". Tmore6s - ;.‘cl with thoFe sentiments, the Court of 3)iiectors of the East India Co:upany have unanimously resolved to transmit to you a sword, which will be pre sented to you through the Government of Bombay, and which we trust you will receive with satisfaction, as a token of their high esteem and regard. " With sincere wishes for your health and prosperity, we subscribe ourselves, in the name of the Court, 6' • Your Highne:.;s's most faithful friends, WILLIAM ;..i . f.ANLEY CLAIIKE, Chairman, " RIVET CARNAC, I )ei).l .y-Chairman.' (Sig:ed) " This letter, and the sword ulif:nimen;ly o:.stowed upon the Rej3, were %%ithh,:d from by the Governor Council of Bombay, 6ir 1-tert Grant, for no reasons that have been openly avowed "In 1832, the Raja complained of an infraction of treaty by the Bombay Government, who denied his paramount sovereignty, guaranteed to him by treaty, over one of his Feudatories, and seized upon the latter's jag hecr or estate. The liflja solicited a reference to the Court of Directors of the East India Company, or to the foam, r of the treaty, the Honourable Mountstuart Elphin stone, pledging himself to abide by the decision of those authorities. The reference was repeatedly promised. At the end of four years, the Raja discovered the reference had never been made, while the Bombay Government had seized upon another jagheer. Feeling himself deceived, op pressed, and aggrieved, and despairing of redress, the Raja declared his intention of appealing to the Home Autho rities, by his own agents ; a right to which he was entitled from the hour he became a dependent Prince. Oa the representation of the Resident he relinquished this intention at that time. But, from that time he was tmated with open insult by the Governor in Council. 73e was apprised of the letter and sword sent to him by the Court of Directors ; both these testimonials were intentionally withheld, while his own annual present and 'letter to the Governor in Council were returned, the letter unopened. The Resident at his Court, General Lodwick, prophetically warned him of the fate of his predecessor, Bajee Rao, a prisoner for life at Benares, and his subjects foretold that he would be de throned. The means to do throne him were at hand. The Raja was aMahratta. His throne was raised on the ruin of the Peish‘vah, a Brahmin. The Bombay Government were officially apprised by two Governors who visited the Deccan, Sir John Malcolm and the Right Honourable the Earl of Clare. that the caste of Brahmins had for years been accusing the Raja of enormous crimes, all false, for the purpose of etre °tiny; his downfal. On the information of a Brahmin, named Untajee, one of the most abandoned of men, the Raja was accused of having "tampered with the fdlegiance of two native British officers. Upon the receipt of this information, the Governor of Bombay sent to the Resident at his Court a paper of hint's, sug gesting that the native officers should ask to see the Raja —tell him they had heard their part of the plot had been discovered—beg that he would protect them, either by advancing money to escape with, or a pass under his hand and seal, to insure them service — that if he gave them money the evidence would be strong; if a paper, convincing. If, however, he should give them up to the Resident, with loud complaints of calumny, in this case the Resi dent was to pretend to secure them ; and suspicion being hushed, an opportunity would be afforded of securing the principal agents.' rhis device failing, from the charac ter of the Resident, the Governor in Council sent a secret Commission to Sattara, the Raja's capital, to try him upon the charge on the evidence of his own subjects. The Commission received secret and ancnyineus evidence, and evidence admitted to be per jured. The Commission refused to cross-examine the witnesses ; and, by express order from the Governor in Council, rejected a proposal made by the Resident, that an agent should be present on the Raja's behalf, The Resident, who was made one of the members of the Commission, declared that the evidence was ut terly worthless, for the purpose of dethrdning the Raja. This Resident was removed, and was succeeded by another member of the Commission, Colonel °vans,. who had adjudged the Raja to be guilty. By his tree the Raja was bound to consult with, and be guidee t - te,y, t he Resident in all things. The Governor in cte ena il instructed the new Resident ' to be distant and i n all his communicati ons with the . reserved Ataja ' officer and this o cer reported, ' t h at he had evaeclied the ad vances the Raja had made of throw...ie,g himself into his The first act o f t hi s Res i hands.' . the Governo r-in-C ouncil, was ..tent, sancti one d b y * .o remove the Raja's d aalherent, Govind Ra - favoured owit, to ,who was under mild con straint at Po , altno A 6 solitary confinement i n a distant fortress ; the r aesident observing, it is to be hoped that thi.a tneas - ,are may i n d uce hi s (Govind Rao's) mother, and , his other friends, to come forward and dis close all t'i• kw:ay as the only means of as s i st i ng hi m.

The Governor in to drive the British evidence against the Raja, while Council offered `liberal 'rewards and indemnity' to evi • wlmaisoever should give he denied all aid or counsel to the latter, and intercepted his correspondence. • "The necessity of "roving the R aJa to be guilty is made apparent by the Governor in Council, in his minute of the sth. May, 1838, as follows : " Under these circumstances, it - cannot be denied that the character o f th e Bo m b a y G o vernment is almost as deeply comm i tte d on the event o f the present discus sions, a s th at o f t h e ru l er o f S attara .

"A host of Brahmins appeared, and declared to the truth of the charge : the chief of them, Balkoba Kelkur, being a leader of gang-robbers, to whom the Governor in Conceit granted a free pardon, in order that he night give evidence. Of this man, the Governor in Council beught, for the sum of 400 rupees, or 401., the docu mentary proofs of the accusation, which had be longed, he said, to two Brahmins, who had . died more than twelve months before, and which, he averred, were pawned to an obscure inhabitant of the Goa territories fur 900 rupees, or 90/. These proof's, asserted to he letters fro m genuine by the the Governor in C ounc il , conlpr i e certa i n Viceroy of Goa to the Raja. The Vice roy, a nobleman of high birth, and now Lord Cham berlain to her Majesty the Queen of Portugal, has, under hi e omen hand, declared to Joseph Mime, Esq., late a ter ember o ascribe your H curabletoo H ouse, that the pretended lets d are utter forgeries. Upon the Raja asserting his entire innocce of all these charges, and offering, and desiring, ton surrender up his dominions until he proved . his ianocence, the Governor of Bomb a y, Sir James Eavett Carnac, Bart., in person, presented for. his unconditional signature a new treaty, which he . was required to acknow in the preamble of ledge his guilt as.the price of•reLiti!iloihija g his chr u n e . Th, tilrice firmly but respectfully declined ; say ing, as reported by the Governor, that he would consent to anything except to abandon his religion, or acknowledge that he had _been our enemy.' The Go- vernor was inflexible ; and, although the Raja had offered to surrender his person into the hands of the Governor—although his whole army consisted of but 1,507 irregular horse and foot—a body of British troops was marched in the dead of night to Sattara, his palace was surrounded, his chamber invaded by the political Re sident and another officer, headed by the Raja's own brother, Appa Sahib, now his successor ; he was dragged from his bed, thrust almost naked into a palan quin, his cousin Balla Sahib, the Commander of his Forces, thrust into it with him (an indignity so extreme and revolting, that Balla Sahib jumped out, and walked seven miles barefoot by the side of the palanquin), and he and his family hurried off to Benares, under such cir curnstemces of unnecessary cruelty, that Balla Sahib died on the road ; a halt being first denied to his wife, when she was seized with child-labour, and after wards to Balla Sahib himself, when in the pangs of death. Upon all these acts—upon the accusations pre ferred against the Raja in the manner above related— ' upon his condemnation, unheard, on evideece obtained by such means and of such a character—upon the raising to his throne of a brother, whose title to that throne was earned by accusing him of the crimes of which that brother acknowledged himself to be guilty— and upon the confiscation of the Raja's private property, in violation of a solemn pledge—a majority of the Court of Directors of the East India Company have bestowed their warm commendation ;' and a majority of the Court of Proprietors, chiefly composed of the same Di rectors, have. twice refused to interfere with their Executive.' Wherefore, in the name of outraged hu manity—of justice trampled upon—of faith violated—of British honour tarnished in the eyes of the civilised world—and for the safety of the British empire in India, endangered by such conduct— " Your Petitioners pray that your Honourable House will interfere ; that you will cause an impartial inquiry to be made into the case of the Raja of Sattara ; that if wrong has been clone to him, your Honourable House will restore him to the throne, which it is declared he so worthily filled ; and that in justice to the natives of India, as well as for the honour of the national character, you will take steps to prevent in future the perpetration of such acts as these. " And you petitioners will carer pray. (Signed) " CHARLES FORBES, Bart. " Chairman of the British India Society. "London, Sept. 16, 1841." Sir G. CLERK gave notice that on Friday next, on going into Committee of Supply, he should move cer tain resolutions to make good the supplies granted to her Majesty in the last Session of Parliament. Captain BOLDERO gave notice that in Committee of Supply on Friday next, he would move the Supidemen tary Ordnance Estimates_ Mr. S. CRAWFORD gave notice, that it be an instruction to the Committee on the Poor-law Commis sion Bill to insert clauses to the following effect " That it shall not be lawful for the Commissioners from the date of the passing of this Bill to declare the formation of any new Unions in districts which are not already placed under the Act of the 4th and sth of IV Whim IV., c. 76. '• That it shall not be lawful for the Commissioners to disallow, by any general or other order, any payments which shall be made by the authority of the Board of Guardians for the relief of any poor person or their ferni- I lies out of the workhouse, notwithstanding any power given to the Commissioners by the said recited Act to the contrary." The SPEAKER informed the House that it had been reported to him that the sureties for prosecuting the petitions against the returns for Carlow (county) aril Carlow (city), Downpatrick, and Waterford, wee unex ceptionable ; and that the sureties in the case of the peti tion against the return for Carnarvon had not been per fected. Sir W FOLLETT presented a petition from two ollicer3 of the Court of Exchequer, praying that corn t•ns%tion might be w.varled them for the loss which the A.dmiiii3tration of Justice Bill would cause. On the motion that the Order of the Day be read, Sir R. INGLIS said he would take that opportunity of correcting a mistake which had been fallen into else where. On the other evening he presented a petition from Mr. Adam Murray. of Parliament-street, in which he complained of the defective state of the aw, under which an official assignee, named Abbot, had become bankrupt, to the great detriment of the petitioner. In another pla , _!e it was made to appear that Mr. Murray was a bankrupt. That was not the case ; so far from it, lie was a gentleman in very excellent professional em ployment. on the motion that. the House go into Committee on the "loyal Gardens Bill. Mr. ' PROTHEROi, said, although he had had an opportunity of seeing the plans at the Woods and Forests Office, his objection to the build ing of villas on the site of the Gardens remained in full force. The backs of those villas would abut on the best part of the Royal Gardens and tlw Palace; and even if the latter were in the dilapidated state which some represented, still at some future time it might be found desirable to build another in place of the present one, and those buildings would very much dete riorate the situation. He admitted that the new roads would be a public convenience, but not so much so as to counterbalance his objections to the villas. Sir R. INGLIS cordially concurred in some of the objections of his Honourable Friend. He did nut think the House had any right to abridge the privileges which any successor of her present Majesty ought to enjoy in Kensington Palace or grounds. It appeared to him that the amount which would be saved was so small that, unless it was the particular desire of her Majesty, they ()tight not make the sacrifice that was proposed. The Bill then went through Committee, and was or dered to be read a third time on Friday next. FROGMORE LODGE BILL. people of that country. What was, then-, the conduct of the Right Hon. Baronet ? He being then the leader of the Opposition, and having no object t 3 attain, proposed that the term should be only five years ; that he thonght ten years too long ; and that it was wise to bring the conduct of the body repeatedly under the consideration of Parliament, in order that their Acts might be re- wised and ' re-canvassed. Another proposition was made to reduce the time to two years, but that was nega tived by a large majority, and consequently the Right Hon. Baronet and the House were pledged in some degree to support a proposition for continuing them for five years. But a change of Ministry having taken place the Right Honourable Baronet, in deference to public opinion, out of respett to the sentiments of the people, merely asked for a Bill to continue the Comm-is- This Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Friday next.

On 4 . - ne motion that the Poor- law Commission Bill be read a second time, Dr. BOWRING said, before the :Bill went through this stage he wished to state one or two reasons which induced him to pursue a different course with respect to this measure from that he had pursued in respect to the Corn-laws. He had not been able to understand what course the Right Hon. Baronet proposed to pursue with respect to that particular question. He had said much very eloquently and very gracefully, but it had enabled neither his enelnies nor his friends to dis cover what were his vie,w s ; and from all he had heard he feared it was m.,t intended to abrogate those laws which produced sr.ch mischievous effects upon the country. With regard to th e Poor-law he trusted the Right Hon. Baronet wol:Id n.t a future time be able to suggest such alteratior,s and modifications as would satisfy all parties; that whilst economy was still kept in view, the Bill would be ',mat the instrument of removing as much sufferin g paqssible, and of creating as much happinsss as was ' ceensistent with the necessary control. 'With these views 'he certainly should not object to the continuance of the Commission. Mr. WORTLEY said it was as little his intention as that of the Hon. Member who had just spoken, to oppose any obstacle to the continuance of the Com mission. But he thought it was desirable for the Right Hon. Baronet below him (Sir R. Peel), to suggest some arrangement for enabling Hon. Members, who were desirous of doing; so, to express their opinion. lie trusted the Right Hon. Baronet would appoint a day for that purpose. Sii 11 - OBERT PEEL said that the proper time Cur discussion would be when the House resolved itself into Committee. He had stated the other night that the proper way would be to give notice of an instruction to the Committee to frame enactments corresponding with the views which might be enter tained. Ile thought it would be for the general conve nience of the House that that discussion should be taken on a more distant day than the present, and Friday next, when the House would resolve itself into Committee, would be the most fitting occasion. He would take this opportunity o f correcting an erroneous impression I \which had gone forth with respect to the Irish Poor law. It had been stated that in consequene of the cha nge of Gov ernment a mater i a l alter , %tion would take place in that Bill, As this impression tended to counteract the beneficial operation of the Bill, h e would state that in the main outlines' and enactments of the Irish Poor-law no change whatever was contemplated. Mr. WAKLEY said it was extremely desirable that Hon. M e mb ers w h o o bj ected to the workingng of the he existing law s h ou ld h ave an opportunity of stating what changes they desired to see eff effected. H e h a d never ex pected to be called upon to vote for th e continuance of the Poor-law Commission. He certainly thought that Commission . the most inconsistent authority which was ever established in this country,--(H ear.) 1 The conviction of every h our s h owe d him that a inure mischievous or dangerous enactment, a:, regarded the well being of the nation, never emanated from that House. The i Right Hon. Baronet proposed to continue the power of the Commissioners for six months longer than the period I prescribed by Jaw. He thought a more rational profit)- ! sition could not be made lay any Minister under the pc -1 culiar circumstances of the case ; and if the Right Hon. Baronet would not defend his conduct as regarded the pre would be reluctantly compelled i s n ell v t it i l li jiTi t t l i r t e lg ' h l e d!YU l :i ' n l 2duct, which had been attacked, to defend that of the Right Hon. Baronet.—(Hear;and a laugh.) What was the history of the present enactment? In 1834 the Poor-law _Bill was passed, and by it the power of the Poor-law Commissioners was continued for five t. thhee powerN oble o l f .o t T i c: , t y , e i e a r t s h . e n .I 1 e l m = r a Commission e r s f o r one year ; and it was in the last f l o 3i r l I S, I t ‘ r . a o s u d i 1 , t t r o e d p t r i e o e l prolong Session of Parliament that the party, which had on all occasions professed so much sympathy for the poor, had dared to beard public opinion by bringing in a Bill to continue their powers fur ten years; and in consequence of their being scouted by the public—being despi , ed by the public—for the il!ailuer in• which th cv h a d ac t e d 4.1.6 ft'gzir-A that measu re ,- they now found fault i%iLli those who complained of their conduct. A more pre posterous proposition was never made, and it was wade in opposition to the loudly-expressed opinion of the Til SUN,ZILONDON, 11:` , P S AY. i SF PTEME RR it4l A there was at this time flqu irk . hito the 03.ariti l Y ail ample supply ilear.) Distress there certainly Veasi Aft it was natural that there should be after the misrule of ten years.—(ilear, hear, hear, and a • laugh.) One great cause of that distress eas that roor i law which was sought to be contin.A; He ha , A ins eect one consolation in the centifitiallee of that measure, that. whatever might be 'tile character of the coming winter, in the atiministration of relief to the poor there would be no cruelty or oppression. The very first act of the Right Honourable Baronet's Administration had been one of care and attention to an alleged case of poverty and distress. There was not a single victim of poverty, or a single possessor of wealth in the king dom, who would not honour him for that deed, and de rive from it an assurance of his sympathy for the suffer ings of the poor. Mr. WARD said he was surprised that the Hon. Member should complain of the want of facts. Why, there never was a measure with respect to which such ample details had been laid before Parliament. He would tell the Hon. Member that the great mass of the people—the great mass of the intelligence of the country--was in favour of the principle.—(Hear.) There was a larger mass of information on the subject of this Bill than upon any other subject upon which they had been called to legislate, He gave his full support to the measure of the Right Honourable Baronet, not upon the principles of the Honourable Member for Finsbury, but because he believed the measure to be a most useful ne, atid also because he believed if the central che o ck was not kept up, the worst results might be ex pected. He hoped that next year, when they were pre pared to take up this measure, they would be enabled to discuss it with the most perfect impartiality. Mr. FERRANI) agreed with • the Honourable Member who had just sat down, that nine-tenths of the people of the country were opposed to the harsh clauses of the law. His Honourable Colleague and himself had been sent by their consti tuents to that House to oppose those clauses, and for which they had broken asunder the bonds of the Duke of Devonshire in the Borough of Knaresborough. He had read that a Member of that House had said that the party with which he acted had obtained their majority by enormous lying.—(A laugh.) Why, the Noble Lord opposite, and the Government to which he lately belonged, had existed for years by enormous lying.—(Loud cries of " Order, order," from both sides of the House, and one solitary " Hear, hear.") The SPEAKER (after a pause) said, he was sure that when the Hon. Member had had some experience in the House, he would see that such language as he had just used would not add to the dignity of their proceed ings, and that out of respect to the public, as well as the House, it should not be used. Mr.:FERRAND begged to apologise to the House. —(Cheers.) He had thought he was only using an expression which had before been used in the House. As he found it was not so, he begged most humbly to beg pardon.—(Hear, hear.) Pre vious to the new Poor-law becoming the law of the land, he had agitated throughout the country against it. He thought it an unconstitutional law, and he op posed it by every constitutional means in his power. Even after it became law, he had op• posed it in every legal way he could, and he only retired from the agitation against it when he found that the then Government thought proper to use the Chartists to damage that agitation. He was certain that no Ministry could stand which iden tified itself with the Pour law. The late Government had fallen, and unless the Right Hon. Baronet repealed the harsh clauses of that law, he (Mr. F.) could assure him that he also must give way to public opinion. Mr. BODKIN thought the changes that had been made in the law were calculated to confer great benefit upon the parties who Were more immediately inte rested in the working of these laws. lie was not dis posed to adopt the mischievous and unfounded statements of those who asserted that the promoters of the mea sure were actuated either by heartless indifference to the sufferings of the people, or a desire to promote their own private views. He could not help lamenting, however, the absence of all discrimination in the character and conduct of the poor. The idle and in dustrious, the p►udent and the profligate, were permitted to stand upon the same level, and had an equal claim upon the public purse. The Bill was then read a second time. On the question that it be committal on Frday, Mr. WAKLEY hoped the Right lion. Baronet would not press the committal of the Bill on Friday next. He thought an opportunity should be afforded Hon. Mem hers of discussing it fairly. Sir R. PEEL did not think it unreasonable to propose that they should go into Committee on Friday. A discussion on the whole question would be irrelevant in his opinion, although, of comae, he could not prevent the Hon. Mem be front entering on that discussion if he thought proper. tie thought there did not exist any objection to the pro posal that the House resolve itself into Committee on that Bill on Friday next. The question was then put that the Bill be committed on Friday, and agreed to. Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the payment of the persons employed in taking account of the population in England. There were 38,000 enumerators in England and \\ ales, and only 50,0001. was to be granted for their remuneration ; it could thus be seen how small the sum was which was to be paid to each person employed in the duties imposed by the Bill. Leave was given to bring in the Bill, and it was read a first time. On the motion of Sir R. PEEL the House then Ad journed to Friday. Usual, and fewer have been sold than on former Mon days.

As far as personal attention and inquiry can accom plish truth, we have every reason for stating that the St. Leger settling has passed over so as to render it a very harmless one ; indeed, the room this forenoon be spoke animation, which would not have been the case had Satirist made a hard hit or two. The Palatine Stakes, to be decided to-morrow over Aintree, promises a field of nine, if not more. It will be a very sporting race. Last evening the Lord Mayor ' was backed at 4 to 1, and on Saturday, with gist, at 5 to 1 ; the price was laid to-day, and offered on the field. We cannot name the premier, as no one came out. The following were as near the Offers, &c., as a well-patronized room and a dash of settling would admit of obtaining :- 50 to 10 on the field—offered 20 to 10 agst any two—offered 20 to 10 .agst Mr. Goodman—offered : take 5 to 2 6 to 1 agst Lord Mayor—taken 6 to 1 agst Smollett—taken, then offered 6 to 1 agst Remnant—taken 10 to 1 agst Flash—taken. Orelia, Naworth, Champagne, Clinker, Galaor, and Ermengardis, were certainly all named, but no one bid their prices, and consequently, we were left in the dark. No other event was touched upon as regards Liver pool. A large number of turf gentlemen have left during the evening, to be present at what is anticipated will be a very good and fashionable meeting. THE DERBY.—From several inquiries we are prepared to expect a good betting race. Some engagements were made, but so much sub rosy that we cannot venture upon quotations. 10 to 1 was offered v. Lord George's lot, and 12 to 2 against the Marquis of Westminster's two ; 8 to 1 against Day's lot, offered ;1,000 to 40 v.

"The string," from Pigburn, passed through yesterday. As may be supposed, various. reasons are assigned ; but, from a very leading quarter, we can state that his Lordship was not dissatisfied, hut wished ell his race horses, brood mares, &c., to be nearer his own eye, for the gratification of oftener seeing them; the distance to 2laltim from Eaton Hall having precluded, that pleasure. DESTRUCTION OF THE SHIP INDIA BY FIRE, AT SEA. Rio JANEIRO, JULY 25.—1 t is my lot to describe to you one of the most melancholy events in the annals of ship disasters which his occurred for }errs, tem pered with the merciful interposition of Providence in saving inaftudes of. hornaa beings from certain de struction. On Monday the 19th instant, our sh p the ledia was in fourtrea degrees south latitu:!e ; after breakfast or.e of the passengers came to the cebin and reported that a strenee sail was in view. Not hiving se,:n one for Vie previous fourteee days, we were all on deck iostaritly ; bat it was too far diA tot to notice o'ir signals, and as she was sailing in toe same line with us, we kept in view of one another all the forenoon, and came rather nearer after lunch, at 12 o'clock. The writer at it's that he returned to fie cabin, and then proceeds with his narrative : " I had not sat above half an hour, when I was sur prised by a cry for water by the second mate, who was running from the stair leading to the store-room to wards the saloon. I immediase'y sprang towards fee door of ti:e stair which leads to the store-room, where the cause was but too apparent from the smoke aid light, Not a moment was to be lost ; the men weie immediately' call .d att., with all the pails and pitchers they could lay hold of. Tnis was done with the utmost alacrity ; the supely of water was, however, far from sufficient. We had a pump behind the binnacle, but its bore was very trifling.; some flung buckets over the ship's sides, hut in the hurry these were drawn up scarcely half full. All this time, although some of the hands were breaking up the vessel to get at the seat of the fire, it was rapidly gaining ascendancy. It being evident that we could not save the ship, our whole energies were dirt ctcd to the preservation of our lives. " When I came forward all was one scene of con fu,ion and despair, the women wringing their hands in tie most heart-rending manner, and this, mingled with the screaming of children, presented a scene it would be vain to attempt describing. During this intsrval guns of distress were filed to attract the attention of the vessel in the distance. But in the meantime we sent away the jolly boat with five seamen, to oter take or attract her attention to our situation; as it was apparent that unless she came to our assistance every soul on board must perish. They next commenced clearing the long-boat of pigs, goats, &e., which were tossed overboard. Tne boat was strong and heavy, and it was with difficulty got over the side. After it was over, it was immediately filled with the children, and as many of the females as it could ho!d, with four men to row them towards the vessel, end the gig was lowered and I.y off about 50 yards to prevents its being swamped. " It was by this time evident that the vessel in view was aware of our situation, as she appeared to be bear ing down upon us, though still about nine miles dis tant, and &though to the windward of us, it was not unreasonable to conclude at the time that our vessel would not float till she reached us, as she was now one glowing mass of flame from stem to stern below, and rising through the hatches, and running up the rigging with incredible velocity. In lets than one hour from the commencement of the fire her rnainmost was lying over her lee-side, and the foremast, from lo . eing stayed to the jib-boom, was brought forward across her bo.vs, and carrying along with it tl.e jib-boom, of which I shall have occasion so speak hereafter. " Several cf the crew and passengers who could swim were now floating out towards the vessel, and the bowsprit W(l4 literally crowded and down the martingale. The certein and the first mate had by this time taken the water, and nothing but despair was now depicted on every cotitifetiancei A number of the men re mained perfectly cool .ender these awful circumstances, bat at the same time every one's Attention was devoted to his own individual safety.

A spare maA, which had been thtowo over', lied upwards of twelve clinging to it, and as they were nearly all on one side, it was continually revolving, which caused tl.em always to drop off, and the whole, I believe, perished. The foremast, which was lying across the bows, was crowded, and also the jib-booze. Iprne.eded gang the martingale and laid hold of a rope; Whether I Went down or was pushed, I know net but I slid down, and whert near the water I found the fofic tab lbhg, Allowing me to go quits over the head, and with the rolling of the vessel the next moment sus ended about five or six fetttl 4 The writer of the narrative ilesetjtiett hit sufferings after he contrived to reach the mast, statitig his belief that he remained in this most perilous conditiert Up teards of an hour and a half. By this time the decks were all burned, and the home of the strange vessel had reached them. S.) great was the rush that one of the WAS ties upset, and upwards of five or six men drowned by this accident. Tneir own boat had now Leached them. By the management of the second mate all left tali the *reek were brought. away safely.

No blame could be attributed to the captain or offi cers, who all did their utmost at first to extinguish the fire, and when that became hopeless, to save the lives of the passengers and crew, THE N EW MININIRY.

STATE OF TRADE. (From tile Manchester Guardian.) There has been a good demand for yarn since yesterday week, and on Thursday and Saturday last an advance of I.Bth per pound was obtained on some descriptions Of yarn, which had previously been greatly depreSsed. Yesterday the demand was not quite so active as on the preceding Tuesday, but the market was perfectly firm and steady. In the good s mar ket there has been a fair de mand for shirtings, domestics, and long-cloths ; and good 40-inch shirtings are scarce, and somewhat firmer in price. Fustians were not so much inquired for as they have been for scAm e wee k s p a st, and printing cloths of all kinds continue dull, and much depressed in price.

NEW PROJECTILE.--It appears from a state-_ meat made in the Coicgile Gazette that an officer on half pay has invented a ball which - not•only strikes, but ignites the ob ject struck with fires which cannot b e ext i ngu i s h e d I Half pay has • alwas been considered and proved to be a great indeq 7 tive to invention and ingenuity. sioners might be afforded for investigating the whole merits of the case, and making due inquiry, so that a proper measure might be prepared, ac ceptable to large.—(Hear.) He maintained that no Minister cf the Crown had ever shown a greater respect for public opinion than the 'Right Hon. Baronet. He cordially supported this proposition, and as he before stated, if the bright Hon. Baronet did not defend himself, he, (Mr. Wakley) would be compelled to do so. Mr. RICE was quite satisfied that, however the speech of the Hon. Member for Finsbury might be cheered, the Right Hon. Baronet was too straightforward and indepen - dent to accept his version of the matter. —(Hear.) He believed the consideration of the question to be postponed till the Corn-laws were brought under their consideration ; and when the two questions, which appeared to him in some measure connected with each other, were brought forward, he hoped the Corn-laws would have precedence. He regretted the Right Mon. Baronet had postponed the consideration of the question ; but he was not one of those who would join in any factious opposi tion to the course which the Right Honourable Baronet, in the exercise of his discretion as to the time which might be proper for bringing forward the question, had adopted ; but knowing 'that the Right Honoarable Baronet had taken part in all the discussions which had lately taken place on the subject, and that he was in possession of a vast deal of information connected with the working of those laws, he thought it almost impossible that he should not have made up his mind. Considering the position in which the Right - Hon. Baronet was placed, and seeing that the responsibility of postponing those measures rested with himself and his Government, he could only regret that he had decided upon that course. He certainly did not mean to be a party to any face;loas typosition to the pro position of the Right Hon. Baeoaet, Sir R. PEEL said, that if he had apprehended there would have been any discussion on the second reading of the Bill, he would have taken care that his Right Hon. Friend would not have chosen so early a day, after the first reading, to propose the second stage. Ile thought that there was a general understanding that the Bill would pass as a matter of course. It would certainly be ungrateful, if he did not acknowledge the obligations he was under to the Hon. Gentleman who came forward voluntarily in his behalf—(Hear, hear, and laughter)—but he conlessed he was more obliged to the Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr, Rice) than to the Hon. Member on that (the Ministerial) side who undertook his defence. The Hon. Gentleman thought that the Peor-law and the Corn-law ought to be conjointly considered and settled. He (Sir R. Peel) asked whether it would be possible for a Government to do justice to the Poor-law without having an opportunity of considering the local and general bearings of that measure ? Would it be possible, placed in the situation in which the Government at pre sent was, without availing themselves of the informa tion which the employineet of Commissioners would enable them to procure, to consult, the public mind on the subject within a week of their acceptance of office? lie (Sir Robert Peel) was afraid he could not accept the vindication of his conduct, which the lion. Member for Finsbury (Mr. Wakley) had voice teered in his behalf.—(Hear, hear.) As for the conti nuance of the Poor-law for the period of six months, he proposed it on the principle that he did not think it just, with the intentions which he had avowed on the part of the Government not to transact any business which the public service might require during the present sitting of the House, to call for a definite opinion of the House as to the period for which the Commission might endure beyond that period which was absolutely necessary for the consideration of the subject. He did not propose the period of six months as meaning , to imply a reflection on the determination the House had come to last year, when the subject was brought under its consideration ; Out he proposed that period in conformity to the principle on which he had alteettay acted, namely, that it was not desirable to call the house to the discussion of important matters of a per manent and extensive bearing . daring the present Ses sion. It was in conformity with that principle that he proposed the period of six months, reserving to him self and the Government to make what extension of that period they might deem necessary for the public interest when Parliament again met. This much he thought it necessary to declare that there might be no misunderstanding on the subj ec t. Mr. C. WOOD had risen at the same time with his Hon. Friend the Member from ,)over, to elicit from the Right Hon. Bart. what heti just fallen from him, for he felt that the defence of the Hon, Member for Finsbury, both 1 - ..:sterday and to-day, of the conduct of the Right Non. Baronet, was of s uc h a na t ure th a t h e : roust bq glad of an opportunity of altogether repo diat.fng it. (Cheers.) He represented that there tiad been a total change of opinion in Ireland upon the subject of the Poor-laws, in consequence of the change of Ministry. That was a statement totally without foundation. However, expressions had been used even in that House which showed that there was some doubt as to the permanent nature of the Poor-law Bill. That was an utter inistake. It was a permanent measure, and the Bill new in progress was merely for the purpose of continuing the Commission, although the attempts at amendment, whim must be futile, would naturally lead to the mistre l ee. - It was important that it should be cleaf,y, understood that any alteration to be propoe„ nd b y that Bill would I the present. Gevernment in nc entirely in accordance with the maintenance `..r its principle, and that the interpretation put upon "c.neir present course by the Hon. Member for Finsbury, and which was received with cheers by those who had advocated an extensive alteration, if hot a re peal, of that Bill, was wholly erroneous. Mr. 1. SHAW was not aware that any general im pression existed in Ireland that the present Government had any intention of altering the principle of the cen sure. He hoped it was not so, for nothing would do so much harm. He believed that the Poor law, as it was now working in Ireland, would prove of the utmost benefit to the poor, at the least possible charge to the other classes. Sir H. FLEETWOOD had always opposed the Bill, and he wished the country should understand that the party who had formerly disapproved of the Diu Were still opposed to it. Sir R. PEEL said that ann. Gentlemen seemed to labour under a misapprehension, as there was no opportunity of opposing the principle of the Poor-law. The Bill for the continuance of the Poor-law Commission was entirely distinct from the Poor-law Bill itself. All that he (Sir R. Peel) was then anxious to do was to con tinue the Commission ; and, if it was any conso lation to Honourable Gentlemen, he could tell them that he meant to oppose nothing. He could not, how ever, consent that an alteration in the Poor-law Bill should be proposed upon the motion before the lionsie Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought that the coarse proposed by the Ri g ht Honourable Gentleman was a perfectly fair one ; and was in complete accordance with the course which he had himself taken on more than one occasion. It was one thing . to take into cocsidratiott the entire Poor-law Bill, with a view to its adoption, or for the purpose of introducing into it certain modifications, and it was st.nther thing to propose the continuance of the Commission for a limited period if Parliament were not at the time prepared to take the subject into its conside ration. Last year there had not been time to consider the details of the measure, Ile proposed that the Commission should continned 'for eighteen months, and the Right Honourable Baronet proposes tm additional six mouths. That additional time did not appear to him (Lord J. Russell) a nietter to which any reasonable objection could be made, Re con fessed he had heard with great RatiAletion Oft 0,- duration of the Right Honourable BeiesWels Oen had been a supporter of the Irish Poop-lie * Rill, that he did think upon the whole inat the working of the Act in Ireland . gad been attended with success.

FIELDINGOvito was almost inaudible in the gallery from the low tone in which he spoke, was understood to say that he objected to the continuance of the powers of the Commissioners for any period whatever. Their power was a despotism ; and he greatly regretted to find that the Right Ho nourable Baronet was determined on introducing the measure in the same shape in which it had been originally brought fcrward by the Government of Earl Grey. The present Poor-law was a coercion Bill for England ; and he was determined to t!ivide the House on the motion then befeu them-- (Hear, hear) — and he wished it should be known who those Honour able Members were, who were resolved on defying the opinion of the country. Mr. ESCt)TT would support the motion before the House.

Monday morning, the 13th instant, at half-past two o'clock, as he was on duty in Oxford-street, opposite the Fox, he heard a disturbance in that house, and some one who was in it ex claimed, " D-- your eyes, I'll toss you for a pot of half and-half." Mr. DuNcolter. here addressed She Magistrate, s etting forth that his client was not brought before the Bench fur garaling. and begged that the witness might be ord,ered to confine him , self strictly to such facts only as bad referee to the alleged offence for which the summons was taken out, The MAGISTRATE told the witness that he must not launch out into evidence unconnected with the offence. Witness went on to state that he remained in front of the premises till ten minutes before three, and saw five prostitute. and one man come out at the door; the latter pers on had . 1 upon one occasion been charged before a Magistrate end'-‘ ' convicted.

Elizabeth Fry and Sarah Stuart were indicted for stealing one pair of trousers, three aprons, five towels, and other ar• tielere the property of Henry Phillips. Nina Phillips stated that she was the wife of the prosecutor, who lived in Steven's-street, Tottenham-court-road, and placed the articles named in the indictment in her kitchen. On the night of the 9th of September and the following morning they were gone. She did not know how the kitchen could be entered. Pocock, of the F divieioe, said he was called to arrest the prisoner Fry, who attempted to pledge the trousers at a pawn broker's in Broad-street, St. Gile3 s ; after which he went to h:s lodgings hi Buckeridge- street, and there found some of the articles named. I was told by her husband that Stuart brought the articles to his room. The husband was examined before Mr. Jardine, and his deposition taken at length. The C3MMON SERGEANT said there appeared to be no evi dence against Stuart, as the man Fry's depositions could not he considered as legal evidence. With regard to Fry it was possible she might have been sent by another party to pawn the trousers, and he, therefore, considered it would be wrong to convict her. The Jury, under the direction of the Court, returned a ver dict of Not Guilty." Joshua Sabberton and George Hollis, respectively described as a cabinet-maker and a bedstead-maker, were indicted for stealing a quantity of wood, value 205., the property of Mr. oris and another, their employers. Mr. Petteetes conducted the prosecution. Mr. Robert. Lyons stated that he was a cabinet-maker and upholsterer, in Holborn. The prisoner Sabberton was in his employment, as foreman ; and Hollis worked with him, as journeyman. On the 27th of August, having missed some wood from the workshop, he proceeded to the house of a man named Mackie, in Baldwin's-gardens, and there saw the prisoners with a cart, which soon afterwards moved away, and witness fo lowed until it reached the residence of Sabberton's father, in Hackney, when he called in a policeman, and upon examina tion found the property mentioned in the indictment, which bare the private mark of his store-room. He then returned to his workshop, and gave the prisoners into custody. On the following morning Sabberton addressed him a let ter. confessing his dishonesty and imyloring forgivenes ; but at the same time protesting that Hollis acted in the transaction without any guilty knowledge. Mr. BODKIN, who appeared to defend Hon, contended that his client acted under the direction of Sabberton, vvho had a superior situation in the works, and that there were no narks to show the wood was other than what was usually sent out from the workshop in the way of business. Mr. CHADWICK, for the prisoner Sabberton, called a number of witnesses who lave him an excellent character. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, accompanied with a recommen dation to mercy in which the prosecutor joined. 'fhe COMMON SERG EA NT, addressing the prisoners, said he had a rule laid uown with respect to the infliction of punish.• ment on servants who had robbed their masters, which he sAdone departed from. In such cases he never inflicted lees than six months' imprisonment; but, in consequence of th e re commendation frorn'the Jury and the prosecutor, he would sentence them to only four months' imprisonment and hard labour. 1 illiam Gray, a very respectable-lookin g young man, was indicted for unlawfully obtaining , b y false pretences, two pieces of linen, value 61., the property of John Lee Ablett and another. Mr. Boomer. who appeared for the prosecution, stated to the Court and Jury that the prisoner called at Mr. Ablett's shop, and said he had an order from Lord Stratford to send some linen, for his Lordship, to No. 6, Portman-square. The prosecutor suspecting that a fraud was intended, upon sending the linen as directed, also sent a note to the effect that it was to be given to " the bearer, William Hall," which was placed in the hands of his Lord-hip's butler, who was not to deliver it without a duplicate of this letter being b ought by the person requiting it (the linen) to be given up. Tne prisonor called the next morning for the linen, which was handed over to him, and a policeman being in waiting he was given into custody, when he said he was going to deliver baca the goods to Mr. Ablett. Evidence having been adduced in support of the Learned Counsel's statement. Lord Strafford who was accommodated with a seat on the bench, having been sworn, stated that he never saw the prisoner before in his life. neither did lie give any order to have him sent to his house. Mr. C. Jotees having addressed the Jury in behalf of the prisoner, The Jury returned a verdie:: of Guilty, and a further indict meet being preferred aeainet the prisoner, judgment was deterred.

COAL TRADE.—Alderman Wilson, who sat yesterday for the Lord Mayor, stated that Mr. Bradfield, who certainly knew more about tee tricks and impositions practised in the coal trade than any individual amongst the vast number with whom he had communicated during and since his Mayoralty, had handed to•him the copy of a petition which was to be pre sented to the House of Commons, containing, in his opinion, matter well deserving the attention of the Legislature. He thought that a great deal of service had been rendered to the public by exposures which had taken place at the Mansion house relative to the great coal monopoly which existed at the time, and he had every reason to believe that in the present House of Commons that trade would undergo the revision which a combination of circumstances had prevented from being made in the last Parliament. Mr. Bradfield said that. immense numbers had already signed the petition, and that a legislative enactment would have the effect of completing the good which had been commenced in the Mayoralty of Alderman Wilson. He then read the petition, which is as follows: " To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ire land in Parliament assembled. " The Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the Metropolis, " Showeth— " That, as a consequence of the arrangements of the coal owners of the Tyne and the Weare, and the imposition in the conveyance of coals by canals and railways, the absolutely ne cessary article coal is very much enhanced in price to the two millions and upwards of her Majesty's subjects who compose the population in and within fifteen miles of London. That, sea-borne coals are generally purchased by shipowners at the coal-pits, and by them conveyed to and sold at the port of London. '1 hat, at a general meeting of the shipowners at Sun derland, on Saturday, the 17th of July last, 't was maintained that the coals were kept at too high a price, and that it was the duty of the coalowners to reduce it; that if this were done there would be a corresponding reduc tion of price in the metropolis, which would benefit all con cerned.' fhat application was made to the coalowners by a deputation appointed at the meeting of the shipowners, when the coalowners refu , ed to lower the price of coals. That, in a Report from the Select Committee of the House of Com mons on the Coal Trade (port cf London) Bill, ordered by the House of Commons to be printed, 13th June, 1838, Page 6, is an entry as follows : " Motion to insert " And it is the opinion of this Com mittee that the clauses contained in the several Acts by which ' railroads terminating at or near the city of London have been sanctioned, and by which clauses a duty of Is. Id. per ten on all coals carried on the said railroads, within certain specified points, varying in distance from the city of London of from fifteen to seventeen miles, as made payable to the Corporation of the city of London be repealed."— (Lord G.
