In Erie shares the sales were about 4,400, opening at 36, selling as low as 34, and closing at 344. The board of directors of the Erie Railroad Com pany have decided upon an issue of new mortgage bonds, payable in equal instalments of one, two, three, and four years, at 7 per cent. ; the proceeds to be applied to the liquidation of the income bonds due in February next. The panic in the Stock-market is making sad ravages in the quotations of the board. New York Central shares declined to 891 ; Cumberland Coal Company, 271; Canton Company, 211 ; Reading Railroad advanced to 641 to 65. Money is easy on first class securities only; call loans have been made at 6 per cent. ; first class paper ranges from 9to 12 per cent. Foreign exchanaes are firm, and bills on London are a shade higher. We quote—London, 1091 to 1094 ; Paris, 5.111 to 5.134 ; Amsterdam, 414 to 411 ; Hamburg, 36i to 37i- ; Bre men, 784 to 79 ; Frankfort, 411 to 411 ; Antwerp, 5.124 to 5.15. Flour was yesterday in better request, at 121 c. to 25 0. per barrel higher prices. The sales included 5,700 barrels, ordinary to choice State, at 8 dole. 371 c. to 9 , dole. 621 c. • mixed to fancy Western, at 9 dole. 50c. to 10 dols. ; and other kinds at proportionate rates, with 2,200 barrels Southern, chiefly mixed to good, at 8 dols. 50c. to 9 dols. 50 barrels superfine iye flour, 8 dols. 121 c. to 8 dols. 25c. ; and 100 barrels Jersey corn meal, at 4 dols. 124 c. per barrel. Wheat was inactive, owing to the lack of prime lots ; sales transpired of a small parcel of Genesee white, at a price equivalent to 2 dols. 124 c. ; 800 bushels red Southern, at 1 dol. 80c. to 1 dol. 85c. ; and 3,000 inferior ditto, at 1 dol. 65c. to 1 dol. 70c. There were 3 ; 000 bushels rye sold, to arrive, at private bargain. State and West ern oats were in brisk request, at 53c. to 55c. per bush. Corn was also actively inquired for at better prices ; the sales reached 95,000 bushels at 81c. to 83c. for un sound, 83c. to 85c. for Western mixed, and 81c. to 88c. for Southern yellow, per bushel. The cotton market was quiet and sales quite light, while quotations con tinued firm. We have no alteration to notice in rates of freight to Europe ; there is very little offering at present. The following are the ruling rates :—To Liverpool : Cotton, square bales, per 113.421. to 5-42 d. ; flour per barrel, 9d. to ls. ; heavy goods per ton, 15s. ; grain, ship's bags, per bushel, 2d. to 4d. To London : flour, per barrel, lc 6d. to is. 9d- deposits of 791,821 dols., and in the circulation of 61,654 dols., but the aggregate of specie was augmented by 731,949 dollars. Breadstuffs had an advancing tendency. Cotton was quiet, and coffee dearer. The prevalence of the drought has caused holders of tobacco to show considerable firmness. Absence of rain also was telling rather seriously upon the wheat crops, and this great staple would, it was supposed, be cut down to about half the average yield in some localities. We have by this opportunity later news from California. The crop of wheat had been harvested and the yield was very large. A great portion was being exported. Provisions were declining. The accounts are very meagre, and there is no intelli gence from the mines. From Antwerp and other Belgian markets the prices of wheat, rye, and oats, come in decline with a dull demand, but barley and buck wheat range higher. Potatoes were obtaining rising prices, and at Alest realised 9i francs the 100 kilogrammes, being an advance of 14 francs. From the Hague it is stated that all the official investigations concerning the haavest having been completed, are now published by the Government. All kinds of malt met a dull inquiry, and the quotations almost generally had a downward tendency. We were heavily supplied with Russian oats. The trade was in a depressed state, at from is to ls. 6d. per quarter under the rates of Monday last. In beans very few transactions took place, and prices were rather drooping. New white peas were easier to purchase. Grey and Maple were very dull. The flour trade was in a depressed state, and prices were not supported. Gil 14( Lest 4 CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL ➢IEASURE.

The information and re turns thus made comp rise not only wheat, rye, oats, and other cereals, with potatoes, but flax, madder, and other products. With respect to wheat it is mentioned that there are places where the product is estimated at double that of last year. And in respect of potatoes it is gratifying to learn that notwithstand ing the progress of the disease externally, which had for the most part spared the tubercules, and only attacked the stalks, the crops promise a larger yield than for many years. In the northern provinces the people were busily engaged in new railway projects ; and so also in other parts. The wheat trade was heavy to-day, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday last of from 4s. to fully Us. per quarter. All other articles were cheaper. Letters from Birmingham state that there have been symptoms of flatness in the iron trade during the past week, though there is no falling off in the consumption or demand. The fall in the prices of grain has been matter for much discussion, as its influence upon the cost of provisions may, should there be a lowering of wages, affect, to some extent, the value of manufactured goods, in the way of cheaper production. This could, however, only affect the prices of articles not in brisk demand, which might attract purchasers in such cases by their reduced rates of tariff value.

Generally speaking its quality was very inferior. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were considerably on the increase, but we observed a great falling off in their weight and condition compared with many former corresponding periods of the year. The primest Scots were, therefore, in fair request, at full prices, viz 4s 10d to 5s per 8 1 bs, but all othe r breeds met a ver y dull ' sale, at a fall in the quotations obt ained on Monda y last of fully 2d per 81bs. The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,500 short-horns ; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 70 Scots. We were seasonably well supplied with sheep, the gene ral condition of which was by no means first-rate. Prime old Downs and the best half-breds sold somewhat steadily, at full quotations. All other breeds of sheep moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. Prime lambs were scarce, and realised full currencies. Otherwise the lamb trade was dull, on former terms. Although the supply of calves was very moderate, the veal trade was in a depressed state, at barely stationary 5 all 15 all it. 100 2s _44 prices. We had a dull sale for pigs. In the quotations, how ever, we have no change to notice. The imports of foreign stock into London last week were moderately good. Tho total supply amounted to 10,054 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we re ceived 11,226 ; in 1852, 11,967 ; in 1851, 11,480 ; in 1850, 8,778 ; in 1849, 5,769 ; in 1818, 7,925; in 1847, 6,928 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEEK.

They embarked on board the Madrid at Lisbon incognito. The daughters are three in number, and grown up ; the sons are two in number, and are mere boys. They travelled as the children of a gentleman named Eugene de Ochoas, who was on board with them, and whom they addressed as papa. Several servants travelled with them. Eugene de Ochoas is believed to he an assumed name. He is understood to have been a Spanish journalist in the interest of Christina. The quality of the children was soon discovered on board the Madrid, a passenger's servant having previously known them. One of the girls has the Bourbon features strongly marked. 75i 541 5 I 6 : 6, 81 xd 5 7 1 6 1041 i 4i x x d a 6 x d 10 1/ x d 20 84i 5 x d x d . 5 x d 10 St. 25; 6 5 71i j. i d st.

PROBABLE WINNERS FOR WARWICK The last meeting of importance prior to the great ga thering at Doncaster will be celebrated to-morrow and Wednesday at Warwick. This meeting is regarded with an i n t eres t a part from that excited by its sport, for it affords an opportunity for the mustering of metro :, politan and p rov i nc i a l speculators whose " movements " relative t o th e St . L eger are on these occasions wont to be marked by peculiar significance. Mr. Merry has compiled an attractive list of sport, and the tact and ability which he has displayed in ar ranging the various items will doubtless insure large fields. The Leamington Stakes is the principal event set for decision on the first day. The manner in which the handicap has been constructed is not a little extraordi nary ; if own ers o f h orses had chosen their own weights, it is doubtful whether they could have been accommo dated with lighter imposts. Mr. Merry is certainly a master of his craft, and has seemingly succeeded won derfully in pleasing all parties. From a handicap in which so many horses appear favourably weighted, it is not a little perplexing to indicate a single animal worthy of undivided attention. The betting at present has afforded no clue to "intentions," and the invest ments on the few horses which have been backed have not been remarkably heavy. Kingston heads the list of acceptances, at Bst 10Ib, but so unlucky is he invariably in handicap races that I shall no longer place faith in his pretensions. His stable companion, Indian Warrior, may, however, do battle f or hi s party. The Warrior's ' impost is unquestionably lenient enough, and should my supposition be correct, I shall not, despite the many disappointments which he has occasioned, deem his chance insignificant. Adine, too, lam inclined to place " under suspicion." Experience proves that whenever " intended" Adine is a dangerous antagonist. Hunger ford's running at Liverpool was somewhat unaccountable. Still I am little inclined to deem him capable of showing to advantage in this encounter, notwithstanding the favourable consideration which he has received from the handicapper. Haco is the next animal in the list seem ingly " well in ;" his owner has scratched him in disgust from the Cesarewitch, and may therefore be inclined to let him try his fortune at Warwick. I consider Haco a good, although not a first-class animal, and must ad vise my readers on every occasion where he is concerned to exarcise more than ordinary caution. He may not occasion any uneasiness, however, at present. Scares scrow, it is whisphered, has been sent to Warwick. He has been frequently set up to frighten the pigeons of the ring, and his appearance among the competitors may again occasion some anxiety as to his owner's intentions respecting him. Amalgamation has recently done sufficient work to render him somewhat stale ; still, in consideration of his running at York, I shall not withdraw all confidence from him. Baalbec and Lurley are, however, indisputably entitled to the precedence over the light weights. The former in particular, I deem well worthy of confidence. His per• formance for the North and South Triennial Stakes at York proved that he possesses racing merit certainly above mediocrity. To Baalbec then I shall assign the first place. Lurley or Indian Warrior will, perhaps, be second. Should Adine start I shall reserve her for a " cock-boat." For the Short's Handicap, I am induced to select Lord Albemarle and John o'Bruges. For the Castle Park Stakes, I shall expect the Polydora colt and Cossey to run first and second. Wheatear, Palmerston, and Flageolet form a " lot" which I shall " stand on" at present for The Borough Handicap. In the absence of Virago, I shall select Hermit for the W arw i c k C up. Either Defiance or Adine may obtain second honours. Among the five nominations for the Avon Stakes I see nothing likely to take the shine out of Pole Star. Orestes, lanthe, and Mishap may occupy the foremost places for the County Cup. The Welter Cup I scarcely feel inclined to dip into. With a clear field and no favour, Garforth, Hazlenut, and Gerard may show to advantage. Tit terstone, Wellsbourne, and Noisette are my " fancy" for the Town Plate. September 4. A FRESH MAN. THE MEDITERRANEAN. MALTA, Aug. 27.—The Harbinger came in early this morning with specie to the amount of 100.0001.; and General Sir G. Cathcart, Rear-Admiral Stop ford, Mr. Jones, Brigadier-General Lareno, 10 officers, 16 clerks for the Commissariat, and 36 soldiers. She has had a long passage from Eng land, 16 days, but all are in good health. They landed about 7 o'clock a.m., and very little time allowed ; for, as usual, Admiral Stewart does not understand the word delay when the service is in question, and they started at noon, the Admi ral in person seeing them off. The Longsor is just in from Alexandria, and goes on to Marseilles at once. By arrivals from Italy yesterday the cholera is very bad there still, and has come down to Messina —rather close quarters—but our quarantine is strict, and I hope is will not be much here ; to-day only two deaths, and both of them persons who came in the Medway. We have a great number of people come from Naples to escape the cholera, for this is really the only place where the cholera does not rage. Lieutenant Grylls, late in command of the Ardent, has gone on to join Admiral Dundas, as the Ardent is to be manned by another crew. The Ripon will bring a good many invalids to England from the troops. The Captain of the Sanspareil is coming home invalided. Hon. Mr. Fielding, 22d, and Mr. Dennis, Buffs, goes home on leave per Ripon. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam packet Madrid, Captain John Weeks has arrived at Southampton. Her dates are :—Gibraltar, Aug. 24 ; Cadiz, 25 ' • Lisbon, 29 ; Oporto, 30 ; Vigo , 30 . The Madrid brings 44 passengers, among whom are—Mr. Elton, Vice-Consul at Rabat ; Lieut. Gray, 89th, from Gibraltar ; Mrs. Phillips and two children, from Gibraltar ; Mr. and Mrs. Gassott, from Cadiz ; three Misses Ochoe, two masters, and Mr. ; Mr. and Mrs. Gregory, Mr. Gibson, from Oporto ; Mr. R. Elivas, from Vigo. Her cargo consists of :—Raisins, 200 loxes ; almonds, 153 boxes ; lemons, 131 boxes ; grapes, 485 boxes ; quinces, 71. boxes ; fruit, 34 boxes ; tomatoes, 26 boxes ; onions, 10 boxes ; eggs, 62 ditto • and 21 packages of specie, value 5 , 7521 . H.M. steamer Antelope has been down the coast of Morocco, as far as Casa Blanca, in consequence of the governor having put the British consular agent at that place under durance for 48 hours, under the pretence of a debt being due to the Go vernment. It is expected the English Charge d'Affaires will demand the dismissal of the governor on inquiry into all the circumstances, and so the affair remains at present. The Frankfort, Liverpool steamer, arrived at Cadiz on the 23d August ; the Gannett, Liverpool screw -steamer, arrived at Lisbon on the 26th of August. On the 29th August exchanged numbers with the brigantine Singalese, off (Lisbon) Quai Port, from Newfoundland, bound to Lisbon. August 24—Left at Gibraltaa H.M. steam-vessel Antelope, Lieut. Young commander. She arrived from the coast of Morocco on the 23d. August 29, at Lisbon, H.M. steamer Prometheus. George Hide, Esq., late chief clerk in the Receiver General's .Office, in the General Post Office, has been appointed Receiver and Accountant General to the Post Office department. EDUCATIONAL EXIIIDITION, SOCIETY OF ARTS.—A memorial, signed by 284 persons, including the commit tee, teachers, pupil teachers, and students in training at the Home and Colonial Society in Gray's-inn:lane, has been presented to the Privy Council, praying that the Educational Exhibition of the Society of Arts at St. Martin's-hall may be taken up by the Committee of Council on Education, and maintained as a permanent museum of education for the use of teachers in elemen tary and normal schools, and others engaged in edu- cation. POLYGAMY AMONGST THE MORMONS.—A wife in Utah cannot live out half her days. In families where polygamy has not been introduced she suffers an agony of apprehen sion on the subject which can scarcely be conceived much more described. There is a sad, complaining, sufferinglook, obvious to the most ordinary observer, which tells the story, if there were no other evidence on the subject. In most cases it is producing premature old age, and some have already sunk into an early grave under an intoler able weight of affliction. The man, from the moment he makes up his mind to bring one or more concubines into the family, becomes always neglectful of, and in most cases abusive to, his wife. In every instance where it has been introduced it has totally destroyed all union of affection and interest previously existing. The wife has no further motive to labour and economise for the family, because she finds one or more intruders who have the right to share in the benefit of her exertions ; and the concubine, for a similar reason, feels no interest and makes no effort. The wife hates them for inter fering with her comforts and estranging the affections of her husband ; they, on the other hand, hate the wife and each other, and the children of each other. The husband hates the wife on whose affections he has trampled, and over whom he has tyrannised, and hates each concubine, of whom he tires when a fresh one is introduced ; and the children hate each other as cordially as a band of half-starved young wolves. It is hate, and strife, and wretchedness throughout the whole family circle. Hecate herself, in h er d ee p es t ma li gn ity, cou ld no t h a e devised a more effectual scheme to destroy the happiness Lf mankind. The husband, under the double influence of domestic discord and gross indulgence, loses his energy, becomes discouraged, sinks into the bloated, vulgar debauchee, and affords a capital illustration of the truth, that "Our pl ei san t v i ces are made the whips to scourge us. " In many families where are as yet no concubines, the wife is anxious to remove from this valley of Sodom, as well on her o wn account as to save her daughters from be coming inmates of a priestly harem • and, as she has it in her power to obtain a divorce at any time, it may seem strange that sht? should remain the inmate of such a domestic hell. But a divorce would be of no practical bent fit to her. She would be compelled to separate from her children ; and, as she is p owerless to perform an over:and journey of over a thousand miles, to bring herself within the protection of a civilised Government, she must of oonrse remain and seek a precarious liveli hood, under the discouraging pressure goanoee—Perriel OA and $4 of church Yen s Memone.

There is a steady business doing, as follows :- 20 Regents, 75s to 95s ; Slms, 708 to 85s per ton. 40 BOROUGH HOP. Two new pockets of hops have sold—one at 281, the other at 231 2s per cwt. Yearlings are firm, owing to the un favourable accounts from the plantations, and the duty is called 55,0001, to 60,0001. Last week's imports of foreign hops were very extensive, viz., 167 bales from Rotterdam, 2 from Calais, 1,336 from Hamburg, 277 from Antweip, 101 from Ostend, and 10 from Dunkirk. Mid and East Kent pockets, 121. 12s to 161. ; Weald of Kent ditto, 111. Os to 141. 12s ; Sussex ditto, 11/. Os to 13/. 13s per cwt, WOOL. We have a good demand for all kinds of English wool, and iu some instances prices have further advanced id per lb. In foreign and colonial wool very little is doing, on. former terms. Last week's imports were under 1,000 bales. The following are the current rates of English wool : Down togs, is OW to is lid; half-breds, 11, 1 id to is ld; ewes, clothing, lld to is Odd ; Kent fleeces, is to is lid combing skins, lld to is ld ; flannel wool, lld to is ld ; blanket wool, Bid to is Id ; and Leicester fleeces, lld to is ld per lb. SEEDS. 20 The supplies of new seeds on offer are on' the increase. 10 As yet, only a moderate business has been transacted in 10 them. Old seeds are dull, and lower to purchase. There 50 is less inquiry for cakes, the value of which has a down- 5 ward tendency. __ TurniP,Whita, per bash. 21s to 259 I Swede .. • • .... • • 24s 38s 1 Mustard, Brown.• • • .. lOs 13s White, new...... .• .• lOs Tares,Winter, new.... 080 d Os OA Old •• • • • • • Os OdOs Od Canary, per quarter 45a 4fis Rye grass • • • .. •• 26s 30s Clover, RedEnF,.

It was this morning communicated to Lieutenant Perry that the following verdict and sentence in his case, which has recently engaged so much attention, had been agreed to : _ _ " Not guilty on the first charge. Guilty on second, third, and fourth charges. Permitted to retire from service by sale of Commission." The first charge, on which Lieutenant Perry is ac quitted, was as follows : Ist. For having in a certain letter, dated Windsor Barracks, July 24th, 1854, and addressed to Colonel the Hon. Arthur Upton, president of the court-mar- Val then and there assembled for the trial 'of Lientanant Thomas Fergus Greer, which letter bore the signature of the prisoner, and was then and there delivered to the said Colonel Upton, made the fol lowing slanderous statement respecting his com manding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Garrett viz., that after repeated acts of violence against my self (meaning the prisoner), by other officers of the 46th, while the regiment was in Dublin, in my bed-room, I reported the circumstance to Colonel Gar rett, who reproached me, and called me a fool for my pains ; he, the said prisoner, then well knowing that so much of the said statement as related to Lieutenant Garrett, viz., the words, " who reproached me, and called me a fool for my pains," were false. The three charges on which Lieutenant Perry has been found guilty, and for which his virtual dismissal from the army has been pronounced, are as follows 2d. For having, in the said letter, made the follow. ing further statement :—" I then patiently submitted to a series of indignities, when I complained to Major Maxwell, who represented the facts to Colonel Garrett ; upon which he gave the offenders a reprimand. So weak was the effect of the reprimand or caution given by Colonel Garrett that, though the acts of aggression were discontinued, I was persecuted in other ways, until I threatened to appeal to the General of the district, and sent a letter to that effect to Colonel Garrett. On it being know that I was determined upon such a course, I was earnestly entreated by several of my brother officers to forbear making any complaint. I did forbear, and from that time I was relieved from any repetition of the annoyances and indignities under which I had formerly laboured," he (the prisoner) then well knowing that so much of the said statement with refer ence to Colonel Garrett, as is comprised in the following words :—" Until I threatened to appeal to the General of the district, and sent a letter to that effect to Colonel Garrett," was false, and that he (the prisoner) had never made any threat to Colonel Garrett, either by word of mouth or in writing, that he would appeal to the General of the district. 3d. For having, on the 21st of July, 1854, at Wind sor, when examined as a witness before the court mar- ' tial, which was then and there being held for the trial of Lieutenant Thomas Fergus Greer, in reply to the following question :—" Will you swear positively that Capt. Nicholas did not reprimand officers against whom you had made a complaint to the commanding officer ?" made the following answer :—" I have taken an oath already. Lieut. Nicholas never, to my knowledge, cen sured anybody, he himself (meaning Captain Nicholas) having ill-treated others in joining ; he (the prisoner) then well knowing that so much of the said answer as is comprised in the following w ords , "he hi mse lf having ill-treated others in joining, " was false. 4th. For having, on the day and year aforesaid, Greer, has made stated th e o following oath and at the place aforesaid, in a certain letter ad- dressed and delivered by him (the prisoner) to the Deputy Judge Advocate officiating at the trial of Lieut. Maxwell F or ergus aids l that h e a ( the n and abets did, ab et s prisoner) everythinga n d then h en that well -know i n g h Nicholas never ill-treated young officers. I could put Thomas , m a j d t 1 q uestionsi Captain itak eNicholas)sto pl a c e pr o ve; that so much of the said statement as imputed to Captain Nicholas, " that he ill-truated young officers or aided and abetted others in so doing," was false. A recommendation to mercy has been graciously approved of by her Majesty, and in consideration of his father's long and meritorious services, Lieutenant Perry has permission to sell out. VERY EXTENSIVE Er, BEZZLEMENT BY AN ASSISTANT OVERSEER AT W OLVERTIAMPTON.—Ai r .

YORKSHIRE.— DONCASTER Aug. 31--From ill Fort s of Yorkshire we receive the most favourable accounts of the state of the grain crops and of the extreme fine ness of the weather for harvest operations. Reaping has now become general in all the three ridings, the crops having ripened rapidly within the last few days, and, if there is no check to the weather, an immense quantity of corn will be safely housed before the end of next week. The yield and quantity of the grain, more especially of wheat, are highly spokenirof on almost every hand, and there can be no doubt the present will prove one of the most prolific harvests on record. The supply of field labourers was a few days ago adequate to the demand, but hands are now very scarce, and wages are in some instances rising. Perhaps there never was a greater body of labourers in the harvest field at one time in this country than there is at the present mo ment, nearly every grower of grain having as fall a staff at work as he can get. We bear only occasionally of the reaping machines being in operation, and the opinions expressed of their working are too few and meagre to form any conclusions thereupon.—Skeidd Times. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.,—The harvest in this district is progressing fast. There is a larger breadth to be gathered in this year than last. The wheat crops promise an abun dant yield ; never do we remember seeing finer crops. There will be some excellent crops of barley, and the fin • weather will enable the farmer to gather in his crops in good condition. If the present fine weather holds an other week or 10 days, the greater part will be cut and carried in excellent condition.—Northampton Herald. WESTMORELAND.—The wheat crop in Westmoreland is very heavy, and the yield above an average. " The barley crop," says an extensive agriculturist, " is parti• cularly fine and heavy—far above an average--and, during the many years that he has been a farmer, he never can remember seeing so heavy a crop taken from the ground." The same remark applies equally, or nearly so, to oats, which are fine and heavy, and pleasing to look upon. The barley crop is nearly all cut, and a great portion of it housed. The potato crop, we are sorry to say, from all we can gather, appears to have suffered more from blight in this district than in any other part of the kingdom. The green crops are looking well and are very heavy.—Carlists Patriot. Bucks.-Itie have had glorious weather during the week, and the harvest has progressed most satisfactorily. A large breadth of wheat and barley has been carried since our last. The crops throughout the whole of this locality are good. The potatoe disease has made its appearance on the hiulin. We have not heard of the tubers being touched.— Bucks Herald. MELANCHOLY LOSS OF LIFE AT JERSEY. JERSEY, Sept. 2.—Yesterday much painful sensation was produced in the island on its becoming known that two English gentlemen, excursionists, had lost their lives while bathing in the sea, under circumstances of a most distressing nature. The bodies of the unfortu nate deceased having been recovered shortly after the melancholy catastrophe took place, they were conveyed to the station-huuse, where a coroner's inquiry was held in the course of the evening, at which the fullowiug evi deuce was adduced : Mr. W. H. Norton stated he was brother of Mr. Robert Norton, one of the deceased parties, who was in business at 88, Strand, London. The day witness and the deceased arrived at Jersey by the Newhaven packet, and put up at the York Hotel. After taking their breakfast iu the coffee-room, a gentleman proposed that they should have a bathe, and they assenting went to the sea-side at the back of the Fort, and immediately went into the water. They had not been in more than five or six minutes when he . (witness) heard his bro ther crying out for help, and perceiving that he was struggling he swam towards him to render assistance. Upon arriving at the spot he called to his brother not to be alarmed, all was right, when the deceased clutched him and dragged him under. He quickly rose to' the surface, anct endeavoured to turn his brother on his hack, when he again" caught hold of witness and dragged him under. Having released himself from deceased's grasp, and finding that he hi mse lf was be coming very exhausted, he swam to shore, but he had no sooner reached land than he Bask down from fatigue. Upon recovering himself he saw his brother sink, when he made signs to some bathers at a distance for help, but they did not appear to understand the signals, as none of them attempted to come to his aid. Mr. Custance, a gentleman who had accompanied them to the seaside, then swam out to the place where his brother disappeared ; but, before reaching the spot, he became exhausted, and remained floating about. Wit ness again called out for assistance in vain, and, upon looking towards the sea, found that Mr. Custance had also disappeared. Having procured a boat, he returned with assistance, and soon afterwards both bodies were recovered and brought ashore, but life was quite extinct. His brother, who was in his 21st year, was not a very good swimmer. After some further evidence, the coroner summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."
