THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Mormng Papers, Jane 18'25. [NEW TIM Es.] The proposal to introduce Agricultural Schools into Connaught and Monster, appears to 'us to be 'taught with benevolence - and utility: The basis natimial wealth is , the formaptioh of habits utf industry in the labouring •class ; and those , I ts b its, • it may-reasonably be presumed, will be formed in schools -of the nature proposed.— From incontrovertible evidence, produced on many occasions, it is clear that the willinguess.to labour, which is a primary requisite towards i!‘dustry, is to be foundithoostaniversally among Ike:lrish peasantry. But industry implies some : thion'triory than a mere willingness 'to labour ; it a-habit and system of labouring, and a • degree ofiptudence in- turning that labour to good account: 'Now salutary habits can only be form ed effectually, when they are formed in youth ; unit WE we presume - that the Agricultural Schools • ate meant principally for young persons, we infer that they will be eminently serviceable in render ing-those who are now willing to labour, industri • otif in the proper sense of the word. Still it must • not.be supposed that the Agricultural School can -•do every thing.' Its effect' Must be followed up by a great change in the Irish tenures. The small holdings of land in Ireland create a race of far rrit;re(as they are called), who, from their very mode of life, never-can be industrious ; and the . same cause extinguishes,. industry among the labourers, who differ little from the farmers. Vudoubtedly, if the agriculturak occupation in Ireland could he placed on the same footing as that on Which it now is in England, then a • constant stipply of young persons, trained to 'habits of „Industry in the Agricultural Schools, would ble of infinite value to the country. In this view the exertions of the Noblemen and Gentlemen Whet met on Saturday, to consider the . plan of an institution for founding and support ing such schools, appear to be deserving of high commendation ; and we readily recommend the subject to the attention of all who feel an interest in the welfare of the Sister Kingdom.- [Teti: PUBLIC LEDGER.? Though there have been arrivals, since our last, of German, Netherlands, and French Pa pers, they supply no intelligence deserving of the least notice. This dearth of news, which has now lasted for some time, is likely to last much longer; as there is not a single question, with the exception of the affairs of Greece, that has the least tendency to lead to an angry controver sy. Even this question, it would seem, has been postponed to an indefinite time ; whilst the meeting at Milan, if business be one of its objects, has reference to Italian politics alone. Nothing has been discussed there, that would .rot have beau probably agitated at Vienna, had the Austrian Court remained fr h i n t r tra t Wei nile - visithas not, WOl pe rI y speaking, a political character. Even the Russian Court seems at this time to have relaxed from its usual activity ; and, so far from seeing occasion to take a pointed part in the affairs of Europe, it intends, as soon as the Em peror returns from Warsaw, to remove to a greater distance from the centre of European po litics. Every thing, in fact, portends a durable cairn ; and this is one of the fruits of the great in fluence which England exercises at this time on the affairs of the world. Notwithstanding the many advantages of her situation, she could never attain to this controul, without consumate pru dence in the employment of these advantages; and, as it is used for conservatory purposes wholly, it does not create that envy, which .esually follows - in the train'of vast power. [atoicriiNG POST.] The business in both Houses last night, though knot without interest, was not very important. In tile.Cmrimuns the Bill fur abolishing frivolous Writs of Error went through a Committee. Mr. .Witliams•proposed to include Sham Pleas within itooperationi but Mr. Peel thought that it would p - e - better to.wait until he had made further in. [fairy, which lift would do during the Recess,' and bring hi a:Hill neat Session. ' There is there fore tiO doubt that the injurious and disgraceful system of Sham Plea 4, by which individuals are ! Rallied to delay cause for a terra on ally fiction tfiei please; is drawing to a close, and that in a short time the admiaiatratiots of justice Will be 'purified from all its imperfections.—The Bill for preventing Smuggling also went through a Com mittee. In the House of Peels, Earl Grosvenor presented a - petition from an individual, 'com plaining Of the delays of the Court of Chancery, the•SPßieflielit of the- legacies and annuities lefe by the lYuke of Queensbury, which enabled the bard Chaneellor to show most clearly •and trkurfsphantly! the utter want of foundation there . ks.ltir'niost . et!tbe complaints brqught against that most useful Court-. In .no case has ever more been done to satisfy suitors, than in that Selected trona for an object of attack. Inonn1;19 -cpuoNtcl4.) The Lord CAinuc.ellor offered' a singular sort of defence of himself and the Court of Chancery last night in thellouse of . Lords; in his obiervations _ions Petition from one of - the Queensberry An nni-tatits. He repeatedly affirmed that more had, been done in the case, to which the Petition' referred; than ever hid been done - in any . similar case. Then, either too little had been' done in these : similar cases, or too much had , been done in this. -When he tells us, " more had been down in this case, than any Judge . . • ever before was knoWn to do," he either con &onus the furnsr.practiee, or condemns his own. The language - in Auestion is principally deserving 'Ofinotice thii respect, that it would seem to sbalienge fur Judges a power to do more or less on other .grounds than those of strict justice.—' -TiaeLord Clipcelltr, seems to make a merit of ids having,do,ne_more than ever was done before,, as it s he could have done less without . .being' guilty of any wrong, Ile speaks as if he were' distributing favours, instead of rendering to suit tors what they are entitled to. It is much as :saying : Mr.. Petitioner, be thankftili have allowed you to 'escape so well; if I had . - chosen, I could have treated you very diffe rently. 'ln the .same way his Lordship twits. Lord Grosvenor with the favour he showed him, in sending him twice very speedily out of Court. :We'Suppose Lord Eldon's memory is net overburthened with instances of similar dispatch. There seems, however, more in the mention than meets the ear. It conveys a pretty intelligible hint to the Noble Lord, that' if he had not to complain of the delays in Chancery, he might have had. Lord- ] ship grew, at last, quite pathetic. "If the, country could go on Without the Court of Chan cery, their Lordships might send him at once to the Old Bailey." This, we suppose, is to satisfy us for the' manifold oppressive delays of justice with. whiCh the country had been visited during his Chancellorship. But even admitting that the' country cannot go on without a Chancery, (though many well informed persons think it can,) it may go on surely though the proceedings in that tribunal were to last in general not so long as a life time. A man cannot walk without legs, but one whose legs are swollen will not walk so well as one in sound wind and limb.— Lord Redesdale says the Solicitors are principally to blame, that the poor Chancellor is made their scape-goat. [nue TIME!.] Letters from Port-au-Prince (Hayti) of the 4th of May, state, that a Decree had been passed by the Ilaytian Government, increasing the import duty on English manufactured goods from 7 to 12 per cent., thus depriving the English mer chants of that preference which had previously been granted to them over all other nations. The motive assigned for this decree is the indignation of Boyer, the President, at the non-recognition of the independence of Hayti, at the time when the recognition of the New American States took place. The amount of English manufactures im ported into Ilayti is estimated at nearly a mil lion sterling ; but in this amount a very serious diminution is now contemplated, as other European nations, in consequence of the equalization of duty, are likely to enter into successful competition with our merchants. We must say upon this subject, that the Government and people of Hayti argue very foolishly if they maintain that their condition is at all similar to that of the South American States when we acknowledged the independence of the latter. Besides, have other European States conferred any new favour on the Haytians in acknowledging their inde pendence that we are sunk to an equality of pri vileges with them ? We think the most respect ful way in which we could possibly treat that people is to trade with them freely as independ ent de facto, and to leave the care of asserting that independence against France to themselves. 1 MORNING HERALD. j Ttia resentation of a Petition to the House of ing of delays Lift vt rzrnsvenorr coronlalii. to some conversation on that subject. The Lord Chancellor said that the proceedings particularly complained of in this petition (connected with some of the Queensberry causes) could not have been more rapidly disposed of ; that much more calumny had been heaped upon the Court of Chancery than it deserved ; but that if there were any who complained that the system was wrong, that the country could go on without the principles of Equity which characterised it, why was not so much avowed, and the correction of the law required ? lie was ready to contend that such principles must be maintained for the advan tage of the country.—ln the Commons, on the Bill to put an end to the Power of delaying Jus tice and Judgments by issuing frivolous Writs of Error, Mr. J.Williams said it would be equally advantageous to the community to put an end to " sham pleas,"—a practice that was most pre judicial in promoting expence and impeding justice ; and Mr. Williams said he would under take further to state, that if " sham pleas" could be extinguished by this Bill, those of his (Mr. W.'s) " trade,"—or profession, or whatever they chose to term it, would not apply for any com pensation on account of the loss of fees, &c. Mr. Secretary Peel admitted the importance of the subject, but observed that he should not like to propose the correction of such abuse, without first ascertaining the most efficient mode of accomplish ing it. That he feared the advanced state of this Session would not allow him time to do, and he hoped the Bill putting an end to frivolous Writs of Error would not be endangered by requiring delay. This suggestion was acquiesced in, and the Bill proceeded. Mr. Hume gave notice that when the Newspapers' Bill should be committed, he would move the reduction of the Newspaper Duty generally one-half, and said he should be prepared to show that the Revenue would be benefitted by such reduction. [BRITISH pa Essd That all legislative interference to regulate the price of labour, is not only unjust towards the workmen, but injurious in itself there can be rio doubt. There requires no circuitous train of reasoning to prove it to be so. If such interfe rence is •called for by their employers, and is for their benefit, in the same proportion it must, be against the interests of the workmen ; if -called for' by the workmen for their advantage, its effect must be to Subject their employers to' - their exaction, and thus to lead on both sides to harassment, vexation, and ruin. The wages of la bour must ever be left to the adjustment of both parties acting with perfect freedom, and to all those circumstances—.never to be defined before itiand—which determine, the particular interests of each. No questions of right enter into such •negOciations on either side ; there is nothing, - therefore,.for the laws to regulate, or, for the . _tribunal of Parliament to decide. %V hen a Manufacturer shall give, or a w orkinanaccept, a . certain rate of wages, is, with each, purely an affair of., prudence, and to be governed by all .tficke' circ . umslances which control and i nflue n c e each in their order—all the contracts and con.' cerns of private life. That the Combination Laws were utter unsound in t►eir policy, — most partial and oppressive in their spirit,—and full of vexation and wretched in their result — had been amply proved by experience. They originated in the reign of Edward 111. a period of utter darkness as to the true principles of poli tical justice ; they must seek, in the ignorance of the age which gave them birth, an apology for their enactment. It was wise, therefore, to repeal them ; it was consistent with that liberal and en lightened policy which distinguishes the system of the present Administration, and which will distinguish it to after ages, as forming au era in the BTitiSti Government. PEERAGE. HOUSE OF LORDS.--IIowDAT, JUNE 20. THE GARDNER PEERAGE. Dr. ADAM summed up the evidence on behalf of the olairoant in the above peerage to-day. He said the only question for their Lordships' decision was, art to the legitimacy of Henry Fenton Jadies : that he could be the son of the late Lord Gard ner (who, as appeared by evidence, had no intercourse with his wife for ll days previous to the birth), was proved by able practitioners in midwifery to be a physical inipossibility. They bad all agreed that 40 weeks was the extreme point of gestation : this, too, was the ultimum tempos kgitimum mulferibus pari endl constitum laid down by Lord Coke, though there was an instance in Coke's Institutes of the legitimacy of the offspring of 40 weeks and nine days' gestation having been established by a verdict in the Court of King's Bench, it being the opinion of the physicians who gave evidence on that occasion, that the natural period might be protracted by reason of ill-usage : yet even if this were admitted, it fell much short of the present period, which was forty-four weeks and three days. Dr. Hun ter mentioned a case of a gestation having been protracted 14 days beyond nine calendar months, which was also much under —but the chief question was, not whether by possibility, but taking all the circumstances into consideration, their Lordships could say that this was Lord Gardner's child. Their Lordships had a precedent to wide them in their decision : the lianbury peerage was exactly in point ; in that case there was no evidence of impotency. By an inquisition after Lord Banbury's death in 102, it was found that there was no heir ; yet it afterwards appeared that Lady Banbury had a child, but concealed its birth. This child subsequently claimed the peerage, but was re fused it, on the grounds that Lord B. was advanced in years, his lady young, and suspected of having an illicit intercourse with another man, whom she afterwards married. When Mr. Norris had claimed the same peerage in 1811, it was decided against him by a large majority, Lords Ellenborough and Re desdale alleging that the acknowledgment of the parents was a necessary evidence of legitimacy. Lord Gardner never knew of the existence of the child in question, nor had Mr. and Mrs. Jadies ever done any thing to establish his claim. The Learn ed Counsel concluded by reading the preamble to the act of divorce between Mr. and Mrs. Gardner, which contained a clause to bastardize the child in question. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of ()pinion that in point of law, any thing in a private bill ought not to affect any person not a party .to it—that clause ought to be struck out—it could not be admitted in evidence. The ATTORNEY-GINERAL, who appeared on behalf of the Crown, being asked if he had any thing to say, replied, that from the evidence produced he was satisfied of the legitimacy of the claimant, and would reserve himself for a future period. Mr. TYNDALL begged for further delay : he said his client was only a clerk in a public office, and consequently poor : he did not get notice of this trial till the 12th of May last, and as some property depended on the legitimacy, and his client in tended to bring forward physicians from the Continent, he hoped their Lordships would give him time till next Sessions, particularly as the claimant was an infant, and as no inconve nience could arise from deferring it. The Loan CHANCELLOR said, that, in point of law, it was clearly established that an infant could apply to his Majesty to have it ascertained whether he was entitled to a dignity or not, and in point of importance it was necessary for his education; he, therefore, thought they ought to go as far as possible in the case this session. He supposed that Mr. Tyndall intended to show that the period of gestation was as long as a Chancery suit. The Earl of Latifaxanatz said, that they could have as many physicians as they pleased by steam, from Scotland or Paris, within this session. —Further consideration was post. poned till Thursday. • This was a writ of error from the Court of Exchequer. The LORD CfsexCsr.Loa, in affirming the decree, said that there was a mistake in drawing it up ; but as the appellant allowed it to stand as if there was no mistake, he would only give 501. costs. FULLERTON V. SIR H. D. HAMILTON. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that this case came before him in the year 1000 ; it. was then sent back to the Quarter Ses sions in Scotland. After the fullest consideration, he was con vinced of the legality of the decision on that occasion. What ever might be the intention of the parties to a deed, it was the legal construction, and not the intention, that must be acted upon : the intetlocutor being grounded on the true intention, must therefore be reversed. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said a few words to the same effect. SPANISH MIRACLE. The following is an extract of a letter from Barcelona, dated 9th June : " The monks here are in raptures ; they talk of nothing else but our blessed countryman, Julien, a monk whom the Pope has lately canonized. It is curious to hear them talk of the miracles which this holy monk has wrought ; they are of all sorts. We, Spaniards, must take care how we raise the least doubt on the authenticity of these miracles, for that is classic ground with them ; and it was not long since this our happy country witnessed what cannot be considered otherwise than a mira culous fact. During the course of last year as great a drought was felt as now ; in every town public prayers were offered up, and each addressed its own peculiar patron, that by his intercession, the floods of heaven might descend upon us.— The village of Las Cabtzas de San Juan, in Andalusia, which the unfortunate Riego has rendered celebrated as the spot where he proclaimed the Constitution, invoked with fervour the great St. Nicholas; but it was all to no purpose; for the fields re mained as dry as ever. At last, one Sunday morning, the faith ful perceived the Saint had a letter in his hand. Each devo tee respectfully advanced to receive it ; but at their approach the Saint, although made of wood, raised the hand which held the letter, a certain sign that it was not to them he was to de liver it. The Curate, who was immediately iorormed of the prodigy, attired himself with all speed in his sacerdotal vest. meats, and went in his turn to take the letter, which the Saint let him do without opposition. The Curate then read it to the faithful; it was conceived as follows: _ _ " Abode of the Blessed, Ist May 1824. MY DEAR IsticaoLAs—l have heard the prayers, in which, thou continually beggest for rain, for the district ; but thou canst not be ignorant of the crime with which that rebellious vil lage is stained. It is for this that Spain suffers drought, it is therefore in vain that:thou askest waters of me, for I cannot under the circumstances be accessible to your prayers. THE ETERNAL FATHER. _ _ What I hare just stated to you fact well known all over Spain, particularly in Andalusia ; and I would not advise a tra veller who should pass through Las Cabeza-dis man-Juan, and hearing this miracle to express the least doubt of it, he would infallibly be torn to pieces, and would have but a small chance of again seeing hisnative country, unless the blessed St. Julian should come to help him.—(Courier Francois.) ROYAL, WESTMENSTER INFIKMART.—On Sa turday the Adjourned Meeting of the Members of the above Institutio n w hose object is the. Cure of Diseases of the Eye, took place at the. Thatched House, St. James's-street. At one o'clock, the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Presi dent, took the Chair. He stated to the Meeting, that he had, according to the wishes of the Society, when they were last assembled, applied to the Hon. East India Company. In con. sequence of the letter he had sent, it was certified to him, that the Board o f Di rectors had determined to present the Society with a sum of 1001. This would be forwarded through the medium of any person Whom the Institution should appoint t o rece i ve it.—Mr. G. J. GUTHRIE then reported to the Meeting, that the establishment which at p r e s e nt belong ed to the ,Society; was incapable of accommodating all the in-door pati en t s w h o a pplied for admittance, and even of pre venting to receive a d vice on TuesdaYs, Thursdays, and Saturdays. the greatest confusion among the patien ts who came —To obviate all the difficulties, which thus prevented the Institution from fulfilling. all the intentions of its founders, it had been proposed to erect a new build ing. For this purpose it was calculated that a sum of 4,000/. would suffice. ' A sum of 2,00 N. had already been sub. scribedond it waahoped she good wishes of the members would second their. intentions. The Report, was ordered to be printed. A vote of thinks having been passed to the Duke of Wellington, fur his kindness in filling the Chair, the Meeting broke up. LAW INTELLIGENCE. . COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE O. THE LINO v. STAFFORD COOKE. Mr. Twuttirox, on Saturday moved the Court tO entreat the recognizances of Mr. Cooke, on an affidavit of Mr. Roget, that he had called on Mr. Cooke, and that Mr. Cooke had refused to answer his questions on the state of his health, and had treated him very rudely. Mr. CAXPBELL afterwards, on the same day, on the behalf of ;11r. Cooke, prayed the indulgence of the Court, on affidavits from two Surgeons, that Mr. Cooke was in such a condition as to he unable to leave his house without endangering his life. Mr. TAUNTON on this said, that if Mr. Campbell would swear that Mr. Cooke had not been in the streets last week, he would let the judgment stand over till next Michaelmas Term. Mr. Campbell this morning produced an affidavit to this effect, when , 311. TAUNTON Still continuing to urge that the recogniz ances be estreated— The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said to him—" Mr. Campbell has answered the alternative you put. I think the recogniz ances must be stayed." CRIMINAL INFORMATION. It will be secollected that Mr. Brougham, in the early part of this Term, obtained a rule Niri for a criminal information against M. Carvalho, for a libel on the Portuguese Minister, the Marquis Palmella. He afterwards obtained an extension of this rule, lio as to take in another person, a M. Daroga. Mr. SCARLETT this day shewed cause against the rule, on an affidavit of M. Carvalho, that he was neither the printer, publisher, or proprietor of the work containing the libel, nor had any connection whatever with it. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Have you any affidivit from the other parties ?—Mr. SCARLETT—No, my Lord. The LORD CHIEFJUSTICE—Have you any objections, Mr. Brougham, that so much of the rule as relates to M. Carvalho be discharged ?—Mr. Buotmaress—None, my Lord. Mr. SCARLETT acceded.—.So much of the rule as relates to M. Carvalho was therefore discharged. CONSPI RACY. THE XTXO V. HOLLINBURY, ROWLEY AND SMITH. The defendants, on the motion of Mr. SCARLET T, appeared on the floor to receive the judgment of the Court, convicted of a conspiracy to extort money from Josiah Taylor, by preferring a hill of indictment against him for keeping a gambling house. The COMMON SERGEANT, who was Counsel for Rowley, endeavoured to obtain a new trial ; but the Court saw no ground for disturbing the verdict. Mr. JEssop and Mr. CHITTY were heard in behalf of the other defendants. Mr. SCARLT TT addressed the Court in aggravation. Mr. Justice BAYLtY sentenced Hollinbury to six months imprisonment, and Howley to three months. Smith was allowed to enter into his recognizance to come up for judgment when called for. The Learned Judge, in his observations on the nature of the offence, said Hollinbury would be struck off the rolls as an attorney, and not allowed in future to practice in any of the Courts of Westminster. Mr. Wooler was in Court ready to make his motion this day, but on the suggestion of the LORD Crum , Juswlct, consented to postpone it to next Term. ARCHES COURT.:-MOYDAY. OREM V. aRTIO. _ This was a suit instituted by the husband against the wife, I to obtain a restitution of conjugal rights. Sir J. Nicuo Li. pronounced judgment. The defence, he ob. served, set up was, that the husband had entered into a deed, by which he consented to his wife living separate from him, on her undertaking to pay him a proportion of the annual income which she enjoyed in her own right. Now the Court had, in repeated instance, decided, that such a deed was no bar to a suit of this kind, for it was impossible for the Court to enter into an examination of the expediency of the parties living separate or together; it was sufficient that it confined itself to the strict law, as applying to the case before it. In the pre sent instance, the defence set up was wholly untenable, and he was, therefore, bound to pronounce Mr. Greig entitled to the prayer of his suit, and to order a Monition to issue against Mrs. Greig, calling upon her to conform to the decree of the Court. THE OFFICE OF JUDGE PROMOTED By THE cuURCH WATIDENs OF THING, HERTFORDSHIRE, AOASXST HENRY wILLIAMs. This was a suite promoted against Mr. Henry Williams, of Gray's Inn-pace, for chiding, brawling, and quarrelling in the church of Tring, Hertfordshire, during Divine Service, and thereby disturbing the congregation. It appeared that there had had been some dispute as to whether the acting Churchwardens had been duly elected or not, and that the Defendant, enter. taining an opinion that they had not, called upon the.gleEgg : s a t : " ine n l ne d: thp ri :r purpose aloud?yisoroomyamsfc the h electing t te considerably s o tlhli fo ll o win g tnphi.aner parish sTenh Churchwardens disconcertedrcuC cehr i c: e w_h g Cler gyman n declined the congregation, s o doing, and Mr. Williams the following Sunday, immediately after the conclusion of the Nicene Creed, got upon the seat of his pew, an'ride n e xt n t s FVriesdtarl instead ewv o iel I f n t ib ti and by order of the Minister Mr. Williams was removed out of the church. Sir J. Nictiou. pronounced judgment. The offence int. puted had been most clearly proved, and the Court therefore felt itself called upon to admonish Mr. Williams against the commission of such excesses in future, and to condemn him in the full costs of this suit. AFFECTING STORY.—Some time ago, a young man took up his residence in a Scottish village, much cele brated for its delightful situation and mineral waters. During his stay he succeeded in gaining the affections of a very amiable young girl, daughter of the person with whom he lodged. He told her he was a younger branch of a most respectable family in the north of Scotland, and that, owing to some domestic misfortunes, he was then in a kind of exile from his father's house. By this representation he had the address to draw money, to a considerable amount, from the affectionate and trusting girl. At length, pretending business, he took leave, solemnly pledging to return in a few weeks and make her his wife. About three months after his departure, a letter was delivered to h er , d a t e d - f rom a j a il i n th e south of Scotland. It proved to be from her lover, and stated that a short time after leaving her, he had, from necessity, contracted a trifling debt, and had been thrown into prison ; at the same time entreating her, as she valued his regard, to relieve him from a situation so unworthy. The faithful girl, listening only to the dictates of her love, se t o ff i mm ediately. with all the money she could procure, to give him liberty. In an inclement season —through a country with which she was unacquainted—she at length reached the place of her destination. With slow and feeble step, she proceeded upwards in the principal street, but found it impossible to advance, owing to an immense crowd of people to witness the punishment of a criminal. She stepped on the stairs leading to a shop, and involuntarily turning her eyes upon the poor wretch, writhing under the lash of the exe cutioner, beheld the object of her tender solicitude. A large placard was placed upon his breast, intimating that the punish ment was for the crime of theft. In a state of insensibility she sank into the arms of one of the by-standers. Reason never again dawned on her darkened mind : and, at this moment, she is to be seen wandering in her native village, an affecting in stance of the basest villany triumphing over unsuspecting inno cence.—( Edinburgh Observer.) MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-00 Sunday morn ing six yonng men took a boat and Waterman on a party of pleasureto Richmoiad : upon their arrival there, they stayed a considerable time, when it is supposed that from the nature of their refreshments they became rather intoxicated. After hav ing thus enjoyed themselves , they returned by the same con veyance, and had arrived in safety at the Old Swan Stairs, Thames-street, between seven and eight o'clock, when Beane, the Waterman, made for the shore. On his attempting to land them, they began to swear that they would not pay him for their day's pleasure unless he would take them beneath Lon don Bridge. This he at first refused to do, alleging the danger and rashness of the attempt, but upon hearing of the danger, they said that it was an idle excuse ; the waterman, finding that they were determined not to pay him unless they went, con sented. and put the boat off. Ile had, however, only just entered beneath the arch, when the boat became unmanageable, was upset, and the seven unfortunate persons precipitated inn) the river. Assistance was instantly given, hut in vain, as - two out of the six sunk to rise no more, and Beane, the waterman, was taken up at some distance. The bodies of the two unfor tunate men have not yet been found. CORONEIL'S INQUEST.-011 Saturday an inqui sition was taken at the Duchess of York public-house, Kings land-road. on the body of Thomas Wells, a labourer at the gas works in that neighbourhood, who was drowned in a tank at that eatablishment on Thursday last. It appeared by the evidence , that the deceased and a fell o w-labourer were at work on a stage over the tank about 5 o' c l oc k on Th urs d ay even i ng ,when by some accident they wer e precipitated into the tank, containing water 14 feet in depth. O ne o f the men, Mathew Crawley, was im mediately taken out of the water, but the deceased was un fortunately drowned , and his body was taken out in about 15 minutes afterwards. Mr. John Wall, a surgeon, residing near the spot, tried all the usual methods to restore animation, but without effect. Matthew Crawley and another labourer, named Daniel Brooks, who witnessed the occurrence, were examined, and it clearly appeared that no blame was attributable to any person. The stage, on which the deceased and Crawley were at work, was large enough to have held six persons. The Jury instantly returned their verdict—" Accidental Death." LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD.
