COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) THE ISLE CF WIGHT HOTEL COMPANY. A petition was presented in this case for winding up the affairs of the company, on the ground that it was unable to meet its liabilities. Mr. Lucas was for the petitioning creditors. Mr. W. Tate, solicitor, for the company, and also a creditor, did not oppose, and the order was made, none of the facts transpiring. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Jury.) A LIGHT DAY-A PATIENT JURY. There were three causes on the list, the first being a mere matter of form. No attorneys being present, the jury waited patiently looking at the learned Secondary, who in formed them that very soon there would be no business as the remanets were being quickly used up. By and by the second cause was withdrawn, and the jury were informed that an attorney would be in attendance very soon. The jury still waited, and after a few more minutes it was mys teriously announced that the third case had been with drawn. Just as the jury were leaving the box the plaintiff in one of the cases came into court, and was surprised to hear his little matter had been withdrawn. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Hill.) THE CHARGE or MAN SLAUGHTER AGAINST A SOLICITOR. Richard Austwick Westbrook, a solicitor, was charged on the coroner's inquisition, with killing and slaying Jane Janet Cathery, the grand jury having yesterday ignored the bill against him for manslaughter. Mr. Orridge said that as the grand jury were of opinion that the death of the lady was caused by accident, he should not, with permission of the Court, offer any evi [once on the present indictment. The jury returned a ♦erdict of not guilty, and he was discharged. THE CASE OF BARON DE VIDIL. Sergeant Ballantine, on behalf of the prisoner, applied to his lordship to fix a day for the trial, in order that the necessary arrangements might be made. After a short discussion his lordship appointed Friday next. The baron elected to be tried by a jury composed entirely of Englishmen. DR. GRIFFITH JONES'S CASE. Dr. Griffith Jones was placed at the bar, indicted with feloniously forging and uttering a certain will and testa ment, purporting to be the will of Sophia Bellis, deceased. There was also another indictment against him for wilful and corrupt perjury. Sergeant Ballantine (with whom were Mr. Clark and Mr. Giffard) made an application for the postponement of the trial, on the ground that the evidence was of a very voluminous nature, and that lie had not had time to make himself fully acquainted with the whole of it. Sergeant Parry opposed the application. His Lordship thought the request of the learned sergeant might be granted, and therefore he would postpone the trial till the first Wednesday in the next session. STATE OF TRADE. MANCIIIESTER, Aug. 20.—The market continues without any material improvement. There is still the more cheer ful feeling in the yarn-market which set in towards the end of last week, but purchasers are generally holding back except at low rates, and the business done is limited in amount. Owing to the upward tendency of cotton, some spinners are asking id. per pound advance, but probably there is no alteration of price since last week, wherever sales take place, The home-trade houses are operating more freely in 60's to 80's. In the market for piece goods the inactivity which prevailed all last week seems only the more decided to-day. In 40 •inch shirtings there is at present no business doing at all. Manufacturers have been pretty well engaged, and therefore careless about selling, but there contracts are now run ing out, and some anxiety is shown. Prices are nominally unchanged, but no sales could be made except at a reduction of 3d. per piece. This applies to most India and China goods, and other fabrics are generally dull, with prices tending downward. The following is the report of Messrs. J. Slagg and Co. :—" We have again to report a very inanimate market and easier prices for nearly all kinds of goods. Those more particularly adapted to the India and China markets especially are neglected, and prices of 40-inch shirtings are fully 3d. per piece less than they were a fortnight ago, and other sorts in proportion. Long cloths and T-cloths, though flat, are firm at last week's quotations, being as a rule pretty well under contract." LEEDS, 20th.—The weather is favourable to harvest, even the showers which have fallen within these last few days being rather beneficial to the crops. Hence the hopes of cheap bread and collateral influences on trade and com merce keep the woollen manufacturers in good feeling, and there is deemed to be a fair prospect of a good trade foi the winter. Still the market today has worn a quiet aspect, and only a very moderate amount of business has been done. The Lancashire houses are not buying so freely as of late, nor are the sanguine expectations which some enter tained about the demand for woollen goods under the French treaty being realised, though, all things considered, a fair amount of goods will probably go into France from this district as soon as the tariff comes into operation. ROCHDALE, 19th.—There is a little better feeling in the flannel trade, but the demand is scarcely equal to what is usual at this time of year. To .day being the pleasure fair, the market has been of quite a holyday character. Very little business was done in either flannels or wool, but the prices of both ruled steadily. Yorkshire goods are in moderate request. CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. James Roe, 42, a clergyman, was indicted for feloniously Forging an order for £6,000, with intent to defraud. The facts of this case have already appeared in the The Sun during the examination of the prisoner at the Bow street police-court. It will be recollected that the Rev. J. Roe, the prisoner,was the nephew of Mr. E.Roe who had car ried on business in Macclesfield, and realised a fortune. The prisoner anticipated that he would have been appointed re siduary legatee under the will of Mr. Roe, but that turned out not to be the case, and he was simply left £5OO. The will was made on the 26th of December, 1858, but a codicil was added on the 30th, and on the Ist of January, 1859, he died. The prisoner expressed his disappointment at the directions of the document, and lodged a caveat in the pro per office for the purpose of disputing the validity of the will. After some correspondence the caveat was withdrawn by agreement with the prisoner, but afterwards another party, at the instance of the prisoner, filed a petition disputing the will, and the cause was tried at Chester in April, 1860. The petition did not succeed, and it was suggested that the prisoner having failed to become possessed of a conside rable part of the property of the testator, devised a scheme to obtain the sum of £6,000 out of it. The will contained a direction to pay all outstanding cheques at the time of his death, and the prisoner went to the attorneys, Messrs. Salmon and Conte, and told them that he had dis covered, by accident, a cheque for £6,000 drawn by the testa tor in his favour a day prior to his death, and he accounted for the cheque not being presented until the 6th Jane, by the circumstance that, as he had to make periodical visits to Bath and Macclesfield, the letter containing the cheque had been by some means overlooked. The payment was dis puted, and proceedings in Chancery were taken to recover the amount, when circumstances arose which tended to show that the cheque was a forgery, and the present trial arose out of those proceedings. The letter enclosing the cheque, the envelope, and the post marks thereon, were also alleged to be forgeries. (The case was not concluded when we went to press.) NEW COURT. (Before Commissioner Kerr.) CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT. Thomas Stamford, clerk, 43, who was acquitted yester day on the charge of embezzling and stealing several sums of money, the property of the South-Western Railway Company, was again placed at the bar this morning on a similar indictment. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. POLIC,B INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULTS.—SEVERAL CASES.—Patrick Mahoney, a rough-looking fellow, was charged before Mr. Mansfield as follows : Mr. Thomas Samuel Edwards, of the Black Horse, Tot tenham-court-road, said—Last night the prisoner came into my house and used such vile language that all my customers left. The prisoner, seeing that I was a cripple, put himself in a fighting attitude, and on my attempting to put him out he blackened my eye. With the assistance of my young man I got him outside, when he jumped up and broke a pane of glass of the value of 305., and also tried to break another. He then tried to kick me in a delicate part, and struck me twice on the head. The prisoner has been a great annoyance to the neighbourhood for years, only coming there when in St. Giles's his con • duct was so bad that they would not serve him. His con duct was also beastly in the extreme. A Constable—l have known the prisoner for 10 years, your worship, and ho has frecpiently been convicted for assaults. Mr. Mansfield—For assaulting the complainant you will have to pay 405., or 2 months, and when the penalty is paid, or the imprisonment has expired, you will have to pay 30s. or one month for the damage to the glass, so that in de fault of pa) ing you will have three months in all. Susan Sullivan, Michael Sullivan, and John Hickey, all low-looking persons, and who are said to frequent the Haymarket nightly for the purpose of getting up rows so that thieves may pick pockets, were also charged as follows : Smith, 327 A, said—l was in the Haymarket this morn ing when I heard screams of " murder,' and " police," and on going to the spot I heard the female using the most dis gusting language. I attempted to take her into custody, when she jumped up, kicked me, spat in my face, and used the most fearful language. A young man came to my assistance, when four men, of whom the male prisoners are two, attempted to get the young man away, and got him down, and while on the ground they kicked him repeatedly. They had all been drinking. Mr. Frederick Ensoll, draper, of Broad-street, Golden square, said—Seeing the last witness with the female, I assisted him, when the female bit my finger. The male prisoner then came up, threw me under an omnibus, and while on the ground I was kicked several times, and but for the assistance of some 'busmen I should have been severely injured. Sergeant Draper, 14 E—The female's language was the worst I ever heard. The female was fined 205., or a month, and the men 40s. or two months each. Thomas Wilson and Charles Calder were next fined a each or a month, for an assault on Bartholomew Foley, 24 E. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa states that a great many Hungarian deserters are constantly arriving there by railway, and are lodged by the municipality in the suppressed convent of San Giacomo. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—The inaugural ad dress is to be delivered by Mr. Fairbairn on the evening of Sept. 4, at Manchester. The members are to be invited to partake of the hospitalities of the Earl of Ellesmere, at Worsley, to the number of 600 on the 12th pros. THE CRICKETERS' TRIP TO AUSTRALIA.—The preparations for the departure of the cricketers of England for Australia are nearly completed, the friendly and liberal terms of the invitation recently received from the gentlemen and players of Victoria having been cordially responded to. The party will consist of 13 of our most eminent cricketere, selected from the "All England Eleven" and the "United Eleven." As the colonial players have attained a high de gree of proficiency great interest is evinced in both coun tries as to the results of the projected games. The list of the players chosen to represent the " Old Country," in which probably some changes may be made before the final selec tion is determined on, comprises the names of A. Diver, R. Daft, T. Hayward, G. Anderson, H. Stephenson, J. Caesar, J. Jackson, T. Hearne ; R. Carpenter, J. Grundy, W. Caffyn, G. Griffith, and T. Lockyer. H. H. Stephenson has the management of the trip, in the place of G. Parr, who is reluctantly compelled to decline accompanying the expedition, THE DEBUSSCOPE. A German natural philosopher, M. Debus, has invented a new form of kaleidoscope which may be very useful to those engaged in the art of designing patterns. The cern mon kaleidoscope is a tube enclosing two mirrors inclined to each other, so as to give a large number of images. One extremity of this tube is placed in a box, which receives a number of small objects, transparent or opaque, coloured or uncoloured ; in the other extremity is a hole through which the - objects are viewed. The combined images of these objects form regular figures, which are varied with every agitation of the tube and each displacement of the ob jects. Lately the kaleidoscope was improved so as to present images of natural objects, dead and living, which passed under the eyes of the spectator. The kaleidoscope under both these forms, however, has been only a toy, which was only occasionally used by the designers of embroidery. These mirrors of glass are replaced in the debusscope by two plates of silver, highly polished, placed vertically, so as to form between them an angle of 45 deg., at the bottom of a box, which has the form of an elliptical half cylinder. At the bottom the box has a triangular opening ; in front and at the top, the opening is half oval. By taking any design, regular or irregular, and placing it above the triangular opening of the debusscope, and looking at it through the upper opening, the most irregular outline appears trans formed into a regular and beautiful design. The novelty of the debusscope is not simply the substitution of a polished plate for two mirrors, but the arrangement of the apparatus, the idea of reducing the kaleidoscope to two vertical mirrors, and the use of a fixed object instead of small moveable ob jects. The debusscope may be made of any size. Instead of placing the mirrors in it at a fixed angle, they may be made to move round a vertical hinge, so as to obtain at pleasure any number of images. A graduated arc of a circle placed horizontally upon the apparatus, enables the obser ver to place the mirrors at any angle, and to reproduce any design. Every change in the apparatus, to the right or left, backward or forward, produces a new design. TILE WEATHER. WEATHER EXPECTED TILL TO-MORROW OR NEXT DAY.

The arrivals of English grain to this morning's market were very moderate, but consisted, for the most part, of the new crop. Both red and white qualities, however, moved off slowly, at Monday's decline in the quotations of 2s to 3s per quarter. The imports of foreign wheat are less extensive. Gene rally speaking, the demand ruled inactive; nevertheless, all good and fine samples maintained previoßs rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at full quotations. Barley was a dull sale, at the late decline, new malting being quoted at 33s to 38s per quarter. In malt very little was doing, on former terms. The oat trade ruled firm, and prices were well supported. Beans changed hands at previous rates. The supply on offer was small. Peas sold slowly at 38s to 40s for new white, and at 348 to 36s for new grey parcels. Flour was dull, and the value of town-made shows a reduction of 4s compared with last week, the top price being Ms per 2801 b. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The Crystal ' Palace and its beautiful grounds yesterday presented one of those wonderful scenes of which it would require many repetitions indeed to blunt the interest. The occasion was the seventh annual festival of the Ancient Order of Foresters, —a body which, like the Druids, the Odd Fellows, and other kindred fraternities, consists of an orga nisation of affiliated benefit clubs, having its centre in the metropolis and its ramifications in all parts of the kingdom. In 1855 it occurred to the managers of the metropolitan association that the giving of a fete would be an admirable means of helping their finances, and of at the same time affording them selves a day's pleasure. In that year, accordingly, the first festival was held in aid of the widows' and orphans' fund of the London United District; and on that and subsequent occasions so much success attended the project, and so warmly have the country brotherhood entered into the spirit of these reunions, that Foresters' day at Sydenham Palace has now become a recognised popular institution. Last year 68,000 persons took part in the fete, a larger concourse than had ever before visited the Palace; and, all things considered, yesterday exhi bited little symptom of any falling off in these monster gatherings. The South London branch of the society having announced its intention to hold a separate fete shortly on its own account, such an arrangement could not fail to detract from the con course assembled yesterday ; still, the total number of visitors, notwithstanding this division of strength, reached very nearly to 60,000. All the railway companies having termini in London ran excursion trains, which brought swarms of Foresters and their families from all parts of the country to swell the multitudinous throng. Many of them travelled in the full costume and insignia of the order—namely, a velvet cap, with waving plume of variously coloured feathers, a green tunic, broad sash, hunts man's horn, &c.—and attracted much notice by their singular if not pi c t uresque a pp ear ance. Some of thesenappy wights were very elaborately and even foppishly got up; others were so ludicrously mis fitted, and withal so ungainly, that they excited in extinguishable merriment in the beholder. Perfect guys as the latter were, however, in everybody else's eyes, they were all unconscious of their defi ciencies, and seemed to derive an intensity of delight—which only a cynic would grudge them— from the innocent tomfoolery of playing Robin Hood and Little John for one day only. Oth ers , and by far the majority of the brotherhood present, 'less fond of display, and yet unwilling to conceal their connection with the Order at such an u nusua l muster, more a plain sash or simple rosette, the pattern of which indicated to the initiated the offices the bearer had filled Besides the multitudes brought by rail and steamboat from a distance, my riads from London and its suburbs went to Syden ham by the road. For their conveyance every de scription of vehicle, omnibus, cab, van, waggon, donkey cart, and costermonger's cart, was put into requisition ; and from an early hour the route by Brixton, Clapham-road, and on through Dulwich was almost as bustling and animated as the road to Epsom on a Derby-day. The stream of holiday folks, accompanied by bands of music and flags and banners, flowed on without interruption till far in the afternoon, and choked up every inlet to the Pa lace. The weather was magnificent, and, though the interior of the building was much frequented dur ing the day, the al fresco entertainments naturally attracted most patrons. The amusements for the occasion were provided on the most liberal and diversified scale, including a double display of the fountains, dancing on the green, concerts both in door and outdoor, archery, quoits. and other field sports, and a grand procession of the Foresters in their regalia and decorations, preceded by their bands and banners. The procession formed at one o'clock in the cricket-ground, and thence perambu lated the gardens and terraces, followed by a vast concourse of eager spectators. Its effect, as seen from the balconies of the Palace, though fine, was not nearly so imposing as it might have been hod the Foresters present only acted in a little better concert, and more generally fallen in to swell its ranks, instead of paying their assiduous devoirs to the fair sex, and also to the inexhaustible stores of porter and pork pies at an inopportune moment. Indeed, the grassy slopes in front of the Palace and in the gardens were the livelong day converted into one huge picnic, or aggregation of picnics ; and towards evening the debris of half eaten sandwiches, loaves, and meat, combined with the sad wreck of bottles and pewter pots, strewed over acres of what had so lately been grass, was something astounding to witness. Yet, although everybody gave himself up to the most perfect enjoyment, no wilful damage was done by any one, and all passed off with comparative decorum, and certainly with absolute good humour. The arrange ments of the railway companies were such as to obviate all avoidable delay or confusion with so enormous a press of passengers, and the return journey by the road was attended with all the ex citement and exuberant hilarity of a " Derby" night. Altogether, the " million" seemed thoroughly satisfied with its " out." PRYSICAL _EDUCATION. The importance of a larger amount of physical education, and of less time devoted to purely men tal training, is well emphasised by Mr. Edwin Chadwick in papers contributed to the recent Blue Books on Education. Mr. Chadwick states that the present practice of long hours of teaching is a wide cause of enervation and predisposition to disease, and induces also habits of listlessness and dawdling. The half-time system is found to give nearly, if not quite, as good educa tion as the whole time ; and common sense tells us that a boy who has acquired the same amount of knowledge in half the time of another boy, must have obtained a proportionately superior habit of mental activity. It is this alertness, combined with the bodily aptitudes, created by drill, that gives the comparatively stunted boys of the town a prefer ence over the strong robust lads from the coast. Gool schoolmasters say that about three hours a day are as long as a bright, voluntary attention on the part of children can be secured, and that in that period they may really be taught as much as they can receive ; all beyond the profitable limit is waste. Hence it is urged that part of the present long school hours be de voted to gymnastic exercises or drill, as part of the system of education, or that the half-time sys tem be more adopted. Drill is very strongly re commended by many eminent men, who give their testimony in these papers. It improves the health, the carriage, the manners, even the character ; sharpens the attention, gives habits of obedience, promptness, regularity, and self restraint. " I should consider a youth of double value," says Mr. Whitworth, " who has had the training of the nature of a drill ; he attends to commands ; he keeps everything he has to do with in a high state of cleanliness ; defects are , corrected, and special qualifications brought ou t. ' " We find the drilled men very superior," says Mr. Fairbairn. " They are constantly in readiness for the protection of the country," writes Lieut. - Gen . , Shaw Kennedy. " Men are f re quently required, , says Mr. R. Rawlinson, C.E., " to use their strength in concert, for which they must have confidence in one another. I have frequently seen trained men weed out unskilled men where heavy lifting Las been required, because they dare not risk the dan ger arising from unskilled strength." THE COCA PLANT. We, some months ago, gave a short account of thealalthough P o u e g r u h v w i a h n en plant E taken r i y n t hr o excess x yt it t n has Coca, an stating inebriating and stupefying effect, yet in moderate doses it braces the system, and will enable a man to work or walk for two or three days without food. The Incas bad the monopoly of this plant, and used to distribute it as a favour to their . nobility and the foreign chiefs who voluntarily acknowledged their power. The Spanish conquerors were too keen to allow such a monopoly t o s lip ou t of their hands, and favoured the introduction of the drug among the people, and among the labourers in the mines. Dr. Gosse, of Geneva, lately read some curious statis tical details about this plant, at a sitting of the Societe d'Acclimatation. In the 16th century, coca plantations, yielding an annual income of from 2 , ),000fr. to 200,000 fr., were not rare. The mines of Potosi, which alone absorbed from 90,000 to 100,000 bales of 26 livres each, thus produced a net annual reven ue of 2,500,000 fr. In the following centuries the home trade in coca diminished for different r easons ; but about 1794 it had again become flourishing, and annually pro duced 15,000,000 f.; in 1831, it rose to 15 , 500 , 000 f. Dr. Gosse thence concludes that the plant must really possess some intrinsic property, and not a mere imaginative value. He mentions its good effects in rheumatic and muscular af fections, as also as a prophylactic against marshy . emanations, &c. It has been only lately introduced into Europe, and chemical analysis has extracted a new alkali from it, called Cocaine. The taste of the leavesrese t m ha b t lesthat of tea. Dr. Gosse adds in his paper thera peutic experiments have been commenced with this drug at the lunatic asylum of Bicietr.e. Fahr,;e further proposes that atte m p ts be made to accli matise the plant. The m ean tem p erature t o which it is exposed in its ow n countr y is 59 dg it will not resist frost, and dry weather is injurious to it. The soil on which it grows is siliceous, clayey, and volcanic, but generally light, Dr. Gosse thinks it would thrive in the West Indies, Guiana, the dis trict of Yemen i n Arabia, th e siliceous and well watered soil of Algeria, and the Italian and Spanish coasts of the Mediterranean, FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT. • SCARBOROUGH, Tuesday Morning, Aug. 20.--The gay and fashionable watering place of Scarborough has this morning been thrown into gloom and sor row by a melancholy catastrophe that occurred yesterday evening, whereby the lives of ten gentle men, all visitors to Scarborough, were unfortunately lost. Yesterday morning a miscellaneous party as sembled on the sands, determined to take a boat to Flamborough for a shooting excursion. The party in the boat comprised 13 persons—viz., the master and a boy and 11 gentlemen. The wind at the time they embarked (about half-past 10 in the morning) was blowing very strongly from the west, in fitful squalls or gusts. The boatman, however, did not think he was overcrowding or overweighting his boat, which was one of 18 feet keel, and the party accordingly set off. All went well in the voyage up, and though the wind blew smartly the boatman saw no danger. Having arrived at Flamboroggh, the party landed and proceeded to the Star Inn, where they stayed some time. They re-embarked for Scarborough about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the boatman, who is one of the three survivors, was of opinion that some otthe party were rather un duly excited after leaving Flamborough, partly in consequence of which, and partly owing to the in creasing strength of the wind, he determined when about three-quarters of a mile from Flamborough to stand in more under the cliffs. About this time they were passed by two Flamborough fishing ves sels, the master of one of which states that he saw nothing particularly dangerous in the condition or appearance of the boat, while the other says he thought she was overcrowded, but did not seem to be in any danger. We should have said that on the return voyage there were only 12 people in the boat—Mr. George Wike, of Barnsley, having purposely remained at Flamborough, in order to return to Scarborough by rail. His motives were partly a nervous dislike to the strong weather, and partly a slight indisposition under which he was labouring, which he thought might be increased if he took cold by getting wet in the boat—the water occasionally having splashed over her in spray. About five minutes after the fishing vessels passed the boat the attention of the men on board one of them was casually directed to it, and to their horror they saw her lying with her sail half under water, and in an instant she filled and went down. The fishermen hastened to the spot, where they arrived in time only to save the master and the boy, who were both expert swimmers. They beckoned the other fishing vessel to their aid, and its crew picked up two bodies, which preyed to be Mr. John Brad shaw and Mr. James Street, both of Ashton-under- Lyne. They waited about for a considerable time, but nothing came to the surface but a few walking sticks. The bodies of the drowned men were life less when picked up, and the master and boy were much exhausted. They were brought to Scar borough by the fishermen. The boatman states that when he determined to-come nearer the shore it was necessary to turn the boat, previously to doing which he gave notice to his passengers. A strong squall took her while the foresail was yet hauled to windward, the boat not being sufficiently turned, and the slight lurch she then gave was fatally in creased by several of the party, who, utterly re gardless of the boatman's previous request to be careful and to stand on the high side of the boat, actually in their extremity seized the gunwale over which the water was running, and thus by their weight added to the danger. The boat im mediately filled, and ten of the party, comprising all the visitors, except Mr. Wike, were drowned. A coroner's inquest on the bodies that were reco vered has been held at the Old Town-hall this morning. The bodies were at once identified by a gentleman who had been acquainted with the deceased. Mr. Wike stated that he was one of the party ; that they had a little shooting while off Flamborough ; that they landed and went to the Star Inn ; that while there he flared some of them had. drunk rather too freely, so as to be a little excited, but not intoxicated; that, observing this, seeing the increasing strength of the wind, and feeling rather unwell, he decided on returning by rail ; that he en deavoured to persuade a friend (Mr. John Asquith), to remain with him, but failed; that he did not see the boatman take more than a glass of ale, and that he appeared a very competent person in the manage ment of the boat; that in his opinion the boat was rather crowded, but while they were shooting, and sitting in an orderly manner on the voyage up, there appeared to be room enough, and that the boat shipped very little water while he was in her. Robert Major and Moses Smith deposed to seeing the boat (as above stated), and to picking up the bodies, together with the boatman and boy. Smith stated that as they passed the boat no signal was made to them (the fishermen), and nothingappeared wrong farther than that in his opinion there were too many in the boat. They brought the bodies to Scarborough. Edward Heselton, the boy saved, said that when about three-quarters of a mile from Flamborough, and out at sea, he heard the master say he was going about. Witness was then in the forecastle, when a sudden squall caught the boat, and he felt the passengers rush to the wrong side, and she instantly swamped. The boy says he went down to the bottom with the boat, as he thought he felt her touch the rocks before he could float out of the hole in which he was at the time. This was thought to be improbable, as the water was very deep. He described the scene as a very fearful one when he came to the surface. He saw the drown ing men convulsively clutching at each other, and. heard them screaming for help. He pulled off part of his clothes while he floated on his back. Wit ness is 12 years of age. The evidence of the boatman, George Hewitson, is embodied above. He stated that shortly after embarking to return he ordered all the guns to be *discharged, and requested everybody to keep still, see ing they were rather unruly, and the weather was become more squally. When the squall took the boat he did his best to recover her, but failed. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. They acquitted the boatman of blame, but remon stratednames o with h himthe ge n fo t r l e overcrowding men l lost are-- J • Bradshaw, a e h 13t • James-street, Ashton-under-Lyne ; John A squith, k p J.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE *TE E - . --- (From t h e Regsstrar-General's Weekly R e t urn .)
