The ' Gah6ay Vindicator furnishes the foll Owing p4riticulars in addition to those which we have given relative to this dreadful accident , On Christmas morning, as has always been cus:- lomary, in order to gr a tify the religious inclinations of the inhabitants of the.town and suburbs of Galway, the trembndous; mysteries of the altar were to have" been celebrated' at six o'clock, in thq parish chapel of €t. Nicholas. : At that hour, the gallOies and aisle of this capacious temple were thronged- 4 1flmost to sal& itation by the thousands who attended—and, alih.otre . no danger whatever should ha ve ben apprehended, even were the numbers greater, a7„ery .was raised,' 'either through panic or malicious intent, that the.gal ltfies were falling. The instant it;' was heard, the. entire mass of the human beings present,. rushed , , from their places in the wildest disorder— some ra is e d up the windows and precipitated thdmsel‘tes •into the streets, when their braids were dashed*to pieces— others pressed up to the railings before-the altar— . leaped into ,the Sanctuary, and :almost skilled one another in efforts to escape throfigh,:the' Sadristy,. but the greater number rushed down iithe • stairs leading to the galleries, and through 7 the doors which communicated with . them, i'from the.. aisle—and at - the junction 'of these' iree pas sages most: of the ' deaths took plateak . Nothing could exceed` the terror, the crush- on ithe occa sion. From the highest lobby on either side, down to the p-,tincipal ,entrance, the entire were wedged togethermen of the most. athletic frames.strangled and suffoCated—wOMen dead in the arms'of their hus bands and relativesboys, whose boneSiwere broken in every part, and menOvornen, and children trampled on, jag communi c at e d t o th e po li ce , wa t c h , or m ili tary, . feral of our fellow-citize n s exerted themselves to t i ektib thosein the most Clanger at the peril of their pcf?ilT S—every assistance' Was afforded, but except )eti, sorneffew cases their. efforts could extend no farther narfirtinake a, passage fOr - 'the living by the removal of tireqdcad. , ,NUmbers .

I .:now, such '.s ac. fl-, :ore - ciritancy with which- the- - dead - Were carried otr, but that the loss is at present far more extensive than can at present be assigned. The physicians of the town, especially Drs. Moran, Veitch, O'Grady, Colo han, Grey, Messrs: - Cummins and M'Swinney, &c... and the officers of the 30th d e p o t, con tributed much to lessen the dreadful calamity. As to the origin of this terrific occurrence, we can, at present, give no decided information. Various ru mours are afloat which require the most cautious in vestigation, and which, if proved to have any founda tion, in truth, must greatly tend to damage the good understanding that has hitherto subsisted in Galway between all classes of religionists. The inquest, how ever, will bring to light a great deal that now lies obscure ; and until then, we shall postpone any other remarks we may have to make, beyond assuring our readers that nothing was broken on the galleries in the chapel, except what wasearried off, 'bf the hand railings, in the efforts of persons to preserve themselves from being swept away in the general rush; and were it, not that mass was celebrated at the rooms of the ,Parent Temperance Society, by the Very Rev. A. Killeen, President, and at many of the chapels about the same hour, it is probable that a greater number would have met with an untimely grave. We furnish a list of the dead, and those most se riously injured on the occasion as given by the police: LIST OF PERSONS KILLED—John Walsh, John Phillips, Thomas Cummins, Mary Gaffey, Honor Fa herty, Thomas Ilardiman, Catherine Mannion, Patrick Kemple, Bridget Riordan, Mary Anne Whealon, Frank Lally, Honor Kelly, Mary Lynet, Peggy Con nell.)-, Denis Mannion, John Sununerlv,.

THE, INQUEST. John Blakeney, Esq., Coroner ; John Ireland, Esq., J.P., and Sylvanus Jones, Esq., at tended at the Town Court-house, at the hour of twelve o'clock on St. Stephen's Day, to investigate 'the causes which led to the terrible disaster we have already referred to. A respectable Jury was then sworn, consisting of sixteen persons, whom the Coroner addressed, stating that it should be their chief endeavour to make out who first raised the cry " that the galleries were fall ing." If it turns out, continued he (and I believe and hope, for the sake of human nature, it will not prove so), that any individual wantonly or wickedly led to the untimely death of so many of his fellow creatures, the laws of our country will, in that event, visit him with the utmost rigour. After you view the several bodies of the deceased, and return here, I shall adjourn this Court until Friday. The Jury then proceeded to view the bodies, and on their return the Coroner adjourned the Court until eleven o'clock on Friday. UNHEALTHINESS OF THE SEASON.—The returns made to the Salisbury Registrar, for the current quarter, of deaths which have taken place in the three parishes of the city, exceed the usual average by about 50 per cent. ! FIRES AT LIVERrOOL.—The fire at Liverpool which occurred on Thursday week, is the third great fire which has happened in that town during the year. The loss by this last accident in Parliament-street and Greenland-street is stated to be not much less than 60,0001. At a meeting of the agents of the se veral fire-offices, held on the 23d instant, the follow ing account of claims was considered accurate, leaving still a large sum not covered by the policies : Liverpool Office . Xlo,oooiNor wich Union £2,400 Wrest of England.. 10,0001 Alliance Sun Manchester 3,6o o lLondonCorporation 500 Imperial Phoenix Globe Atlas York and London 3,000 . Total... £49,280 The result of this year is considered as more un favourable to the Assurance Companies in England than they have ever experienced ; and it is stated from the best authority, that collectively they have not paid less during the year for losses by fire, than the large sum of 1,000,0001. This sum of course includes the great fire at Hamburgh, which caused loss( s to the Engish offices amounting. to nearly half that amount. memoir. The author proceeded to trace , the diffusion of the compensatory portion of the spark, or flash; he intro duced many illustrative experiments with the double electroscope, and a modification of the discs. He sup ported his positions by cases of lateral accidents from lightning rods, and by the testimony of the best elec tricians. He concluded by explaining the construction of Mr. Harris's lightning rods for slips, and showed how the application of his several positions proved these to be the best protection that can be applied to our navy, providing always that the vessels are copper bottomed.

PRICE .OF SUGAR. The Average Pri . ce of Brown or MusecivadO'Sugar, computed from the Returns made in the. Week ending Dec. 27, 1842, is 335. 104 d. per cwt., , exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the importation thereof into Great. Britain. PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECTS OF AIONOPOLY. . • LONDON, DEC. 31, 1842. The following average prices of Brown or Musco vadoes British Sugars, exclusive of duty, were pub lished in the Gazette of last night : West India . - 345. 9d. per cwt East India • Mauritius. •- • ' • • .35 94 The average priCe -;:if the three kinds, jointly com puted, excluslie of duty, is 355. 102 d. per cwt. The actual weights of sußr ii 0.41 ; on account of the importers, in the week ending the 27th inst., accord ing to the returns made upon 'oath by the sugar bro kers, in compliance , with ?the Act - of ',Parliament, and on which weights the.tiliove prices are aomputed, - con. sisted of 9,950 cwt. •West India, 8,568 CA. East Initit, and 534 cwt Mauritius. From the 26th ofOctobet to thea•th of December we have from week to week 'published the weight of /41' sugar sold; and the price exchisiVe of duty, paid for " it—stating at the same time the amount would have been had the consumers boughkiii,the cheapest market—carrying forward :from date to date the ex cess of price, in order that - the . obnsurners may' be exactly acquainted with the - pecuniarf effect the sugar monopoly. has uii m ,their pockets. With • view to render this account complete for the curmat • quarter, we have referred', • and find that the sales of British sugars in the -London Market were--from r the 10th, to the 25th of October, 48,566 cwt.--esti mating the sales at the . auterts 'duringthe same period to be 30,000 cwt., the' consumers, bought in those fourteen days, 78,566 cwt. of ,the monopoly sugar at 345. 6J. per • - ciit - ; paying Consequently 141,4181. They might have obtained at that time 78,566 cwt. of foreign sugar, equally good, at I6s. 6d. per cwt., amounting to 64,8161, and kept in their purses 76,602/. The weights of British Sugars sat from the 25th October to the 20th inst., already published weekly in The Sun, are together 499,974 cwt. These added to 78,566 cwt. shown above as sold from the 10th to the 25th October, give 578,540 - being -the - total weight for the current quarter. The excess of price paid over and above the value of foreign sugar of equal quality, and brought forward in The Sun each Saturday from the sth November to the 24th Decem ber, amounts to 420,7421., which, being added to the excess of price paid from the 10th to the 25th Octo ber, namely, 76,602/., gives a total excess of price of 497,344/. In ten weeks, therefore—from the 9th October to the 20th December—the consumers bought 578,540 cwt. of British sugars, and paid for them a price beyond their value in any Europern market the enormous sum of 497,3441. ~~ We now proceed, as heretofore, to publish the weights of British sugars sold by the importers in he week ending the 27th instant. The sales in Mincing-lane were 19,052 cwt.; assuming that the weight of British sugars sold out of,London was to the same extent as that sold in it, the consumers bought in that period 38,104 cwt. of sugar, at 355. 10id. per cwt., amounting, in round numbers, to 68,332/. ; they might have bought, but for the mono poly law, 38,104 cwt. of foreign sugar, of a like quality, at 18s. per cwt., amounting to 34,291/., ex hibiting a difference of 34,0411.—that is to say, the nation, by buying foreign instead of the msnopoly sugar, would have saved that amount in tie week under consideration, which, being added to 497,3441., the amount before stated, gives 531,385/., the precise value of the sugar monopoly on the sale of 616,644 cwt. of British sugars to the monopolists, and , the needless cost thereof t, to the country, in eleven con secutive weeks. Whenever the consumers have complained of this excessive extortion, and sought as a fitting remedy against it a relaxation of the sugar monopoly, the Government of the day has invariably pleaded its in ability to make any alterations, in consequence of some particular conditions contained in the Brazil treaty. Did the conditions in this Brazilian treaty require that, when the duty on sugar from the East Indies was lowered to the rate imposed on that from the West Indies, limits should be drawn around the three Presidencies with such a niggard hand, that sugar grown in India beyond them should be excluded the British markets ? Did they require that these Presidencies should cease to import sugar for their own consumption (a privilege they had enjoyed from the moment of their belonging to the British Crown to that on which the reduction of duty was deter mined upon) as a condition that the sugar raised in them might be shipped for the mother country, and be received on the same terms as sugar from Ja maica ? Not a bit of it, there is absolutely nothing in the Brazilian treaty, which can be twisted by the utmost ingenuity, to such a meaning. Why, then, were these restrictions on the East India sugar trade imposed ? The answer to the question is plain enough. They were knowingly impo . ied, in order to maintain, in all its costly vigour, the vicious sugar monopoly, conferred, time out of mind, upon those very West Indians who had just before received twenty millions sterling from the country. Let these restrictions on East India commerce be with drawn forthwith, and we shall import from Bengal, in 1843, 50,000 additional tons of sugar, and thereby pacify the outcry about slave-raised sugar, for we should then need none of it. In the quarter ending 9th October, 1842, the duty on sugar fell off, as compared against' the correspond ing quarter in 1841, 200,0001. When the current quarter's account is made up on the sth of Ja nuar y next, it will be seen th a t the loss on sugar duties is considerably greater. --- From many quarters the cheering intelligence reaches us :that Sir Robert Peel's Government has come to a resolution to take a decided step with refe rence to Church extension during the ensuing session of Parliament. It would have been next to impossible further to have postponed coming to some decision on a matter of such importance ; but how the aid will be supplied, or to what extent, is vet unknown.— Church and State Gazette. DRAYTON MANOR.—Sir Robert Peel and Lady Peel and family are expected to leave early in the ensuing month for Whitehall-gardens for the season. Shortly after their arrival, a series of grand dinners and official soirees will be given. at the Right Hon. Baronet's mansion; and on Wednesday, the Ist of February, the customary grand parliamentary dinner will take place. FIRE AT WEST BROAIWICII.—An alarming fire broke out last week in the works of I3ethell and Co., gas distillers, West Bromwich, by which the whole of the-cisterns and offices were destroyed.

This Ointment is now confidently recommended to the public as an infallible remedy for all diseases of the Breast, occasioned by Cold, or the Milk coring in the Breast. It is a certain cure for Whitlows, Abccss, Scalds, Burns, Bad Legs, and all cutaneous diseases; and in consequence of the now great demand for the Ointment, the Proprietor is induced to lay it before the public—not as a cure for " all the ills that flesh is heir to," but in eases as above mentioned it is with the greatest confidence recommended to the public.

FROM THE. EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—We are continually hearing of instances of persons escaping from justice by the defects of the Criminal law, and these defects are very often aggra vated by the looseness - With which the law is adminis tered. There is an article in the Times of this morn ing, calling on Sir Robert Peel to rectify the abuses that exist; and though the tone of our Contemporary's remarks must meet with general approbation, we ire not disposed t? *roe entirely with his view of the , subject. Th4roposition that." strict adherence to the very letter -of criminal law is not essential in the pre 'sent day;" is one whiCh we think it.-weuld be very dan • gerous to act upon. There is already too much of what "judge-made law ; 3 " and it is this fact which ;gives rise to . the many discrepar Tics in the punish ' inents allotted to the Same degree 'of guilt in different cases. We are for leaving .as:litt'le as possible to the discretion of the Magistrate.- ' .'fohowever good the judgment of an individual ape, be, it cannot be in vested with that authority,wiiictt- tau distinct voice of the Legislature carries with We do not hold with the opinion, that if their.prh-lOms of r law are unjust they should not be clifeirCA for nothing is more likely to keep a' bad; blisltAhe statute-book, than the knowledge that it-I,OW* strietlyenforced 'against those who may •haveirall. tl,6nder it. There is sufficient carelessness'alreadte preparation of Aids of Parliament, and if the .56sislature felt that 'their laws would.be interpieted idording to circum-. stances, less particularity than .* iijOW nat present would be observed, and further .obse'p . han already exists would cloud the statute 'booli.f - 1.14 e Times complains that-a prisoner cannot be c0n04301 of a higher of fence than that. for indicted, though, *lie may be found : degree .of crime than that which 11( ith.

"We ency which con- would be a laxity. is hardly to be defe on the severe, and are no advocates fo trives loop 7 holes for ilt ;- but, if strict legal forms are dr all, we think it should be in favour of the accused, and not for the purpose of rendering his position more perilous. STANDARD.—Mr : Richard. Cobden is, it would appear, resolved to rival th e g lories of r. Daniel O'Connell: Like the great mendicant of the west, Cobden has organised his, glossae iat on," has "-reeifleetiksv?- , ' hie army of holy men, and laid the foundation of his rent, to he accounted for as such things are accounted for in Ireland—that is, not at all. "Tu vogue Marcellus eris." . Mr. Cobden shall be the O'Connell of the mills. The enterprise is ambitious, but not quite so bold as it may at first sight appear. Flammock, the type of the order of agitators, was an ignorant blockhead, as well as a poltroon ; and though men have been misled by the temporary success of de magogues, to doubt that they are all alike igno rant blockheads and poltroons, the majority of dema gogues' have been such from the beginning—from Thersites to Flammock, from Flammock to our own day. The qualifications for the office are indeed few and vile. Lord Bolingbroke bas enu merated them with a precision that we think some well-meaning Juries of the present time would be led by an inartificially drawn inuendo to declare, upon their oaths, intended for a living agitator: The following is Lord Bolingbroke's inventory : " 11l manners, impudence, a foul mouth, and a fouler heart." As Mr. Richard Cobden has but just commenced his career, it remains to be seen whether his outfit is complete ; for our own part, we doubt his' qualifications, and we are the more disposed to doubt them, because we find him already at loggerheads with some of his Whig and Whig-Radioal friends. This is beginning much too soon. Mr. Cobden is, however, plainly betrayed by his sanguine temper into a too exact imitation of his Irish model. Mr. O'Connell was able to bully the Whigs and Whig-Radicals, because he had a party ready formed, or rather was the representative and the thec e a t o u t r h e e r o f hand, a party a d has lo asg i nexistence. e treal l. y llr no I p. artparty Cobden, worth naming—if we may so speak, he has but the staff and skeleton of a sedition. His League is composed of a few interested individuals of no talent or general influence, and living in a very • narrow circle, His lectures are but poor shadows of even the lay Irish incendiaries. Where are the Jack Lawless's, the Tom Steele's,.the Tom Reynolds's, and all the rest ? Who will compare Smith and Achind to such riot manufacturers ? His Conference is but a puny parody of the Irish priests ; and as to his rent, it is still to be collected. It is not only, however, in the matter of officers and military chest that Mr. Cobden miscalculates when he puffs himself into rivalship with Mr. Daniel O'Connell. In the main strength of their respective forces—in the rank and file, which must constitute the main strength of every army—the difference between the O'Connellites • and the Cobdenites passes calculation. Mr. O'Connell counts, or lately did count, his foll owers b y th e mil lion. Mr. Cobden, if he were to enumerate, would find it a matter of some difficulty to exhibit hundreds. The Chartists, with whom he is at war, have engrossed all the floating materiel of discontent. It has been seen what a feeble attempt at rebellion Chartists and Leaguers made when associated last autumn. From this it may be easily imagined how infinitely Con temptible either of them must be separated from the other. ON LIGHTNING CONDUCTORS. A memoir on this subject was read before the members of the Electrical Society, a few days ago, by the Secretary, Charles V. Walker, Esq. Th e p rac ti ca l object was to r emove a ll d ou bt about the propriety of connecting metallic boches with the lightning, rod, and to demonstrate the necessity of so doing. The much-talked of lateral spark he showed to be due to the diffusion of free electricity, and the division to the por tion of a flash required to compensate the outercoating of a jar, the lower of two discs, or the earth. The free electricity is due to an inductive action of the portion of the charge which does not pass. his well known that the inner coating of a jar contains more of the electricity than does the outer .of the other. It; therefore, a flash leaves the inner, equivalent to that required by the outer, it is evident that the. portion remaining will have such an inductive action on the outer coating as to expel part of the passed flash from it, and so convert it into free electricity. Mr. Walker terms this the "induced residual," and shows that it . so depends on the original excess and on the flash itself, as to equal (1— 1-n) 6, when n represents the ratio of excess and (6) the flash, from the fact that the greater the distance between the coating•the greater the ratio of excess. Mr. 'Walker alludes to the distance of the clouds, and proves n in the above for mula to be very great : the value of 6 is known by the magnitude of a lightning flash; and h ence h e declares the great amount of that portion of a lightning flash converted into free electricity, or " induced residual." But experiment has demonstrated that a lateral spark is attendant on the discharge even of a Leyden battery ; much more, therefore, is such an effect to be 'expected from, the discharge of a cloud.
