HEALTH OP LONDON DURING THE WE E. K. ( From the Report of the Registrar-General. ) Cholera is now rapidly declining in London, an a the deaths by it have fallen from 2,050 in the first we el s to 754 in the last week of September. The present epidemic eruption began later tha n the eruption of 1849, and it has latterly been more r.st tal ; but the aggregate mortality will yet probably b e less than it was in 1849 ; for the deaths by cholera in . that year down to September 29th were 13,098, whil le the deaths in the present epidemic down to September 30th have been 9,707. Yet the loss of nearly ten thousand, or includin g the ' deaths by diarrhoea, of twelve thousand lives, wit 11 in a few weeks, in the chief city of the empire, is an app a lling fact, demanding the strict investigation into all its ( totails which the Board of Health has directed to be insti tatted. Is London to continue every five years to be at' to eked by pestilence, and to lose so many thousands of it: s :inha bitants ? Cannot the conditions in which disease i g fatal be determined, and cannot they be removed ? To smist in the solution of these questions, the area of the r veral sub-districts, as well as the elevation of the grey m d, is given in the annexed list. The 2,216 deaths from all causes, registered in the week, include the deaths of many persons on wh. en in quests bad been held in previous weeks.

For unlawfully refusing to permit Edward Atkinson, the complainant's solicitor, and Theodosius Abbott, his clerk, to inspect the written or printed copy of the index and abstract of the society's deed of settlement, and other documents mentioned in the 57th clause of the act. 3d. For un lawfully holding out the name of the Right Hon. Lord Wharncliffe as president of the society, without his hav ing acted or consented to act as such. 4th. For neglect ing to furnish certain returns to the registrar under the 11th section of the aet. Mr. Clarkson, instructed by Mr. R. W. Bennett, of Manchester, and Messrs. Staniland, Abbott, and At kinson, of London, appeared for the complainants ; and Mr. Ballantine, instructed by Mr. Welborn, conducted the defence. Mr. Clarkson having read from the act of Parliament the returns required with regard to all joint stock com panies under sec. 11, called George Dee, clerk to the Registrar of General Enrol ments, who said he had no return of names and places of abode of shareholders who were deceased, or of per sons who had become shareholders, otherwise than by transfer, of the Solvency Mutual Guarantee Society since the complete registration of that society, which took place on the Bth of Nov., 1852. This society was pro visionally registered on the 19th of September, 1851, but since the complete registration the only return made was the annual return of the name and business of the society. Neither had any information of the incorpora tion by statute of this society been giien by the regis trar. _ Cross-examined—Ho was Dot fully acquainted with the working- of these companies, but he believed there was more difficulty in making the required returns of mutual assurance societies than proprietary com- panies. Mr. James Rait Beard said he was an assured mem ber of the Solvency (not Insolvency) Mutual Guarantee Society, and he produced his policy. Cross-examined—He had not signed any deed, be cause he had never seen any. He had paid all the calls upon him except the last, and (we understood him) that he had received credit for them in the document produced, admitting his claim upon the society. Mr. Roby, an accountant, proved that the society had acted as a company within the last six months. Mr. Ballautine said he was willing to admit that fact, and he begged to say that the directors were willing also to comply with all the provisions of the statute as soon as they knew them. But this was a different case to that of an ordinary proprietary company. In this case a certain number of persons met together, and agreed mutually to assure each other's bad debts, and no shares therefore were issued ; consequently no return of share holders could be made, neither could there be any re turn of transferred shares. Mr. Ballantine also repu diated the policy issued by the society, alleging that as t was not signed by the complainant it was only a common agreement, and not a deed. Mr. Clarkson referred Mr. Ballantine to the interpre tation clause, in which a member of any joint stock cora -1 pang was held to be a shareholder. Sir Chapman Marshall said he had endeavoured to give this case his most earnest consideration, and he had come to the conclusion that, since the complete registra tion, there bad been no returns, as required by the 11th section of the act. With regard to the interpretation clause, he was quite satisfied that assurance company was applicable to any association, and that directors meant any body of men acting in the management of any society. He was also of opinion that shareholders were the same as persons assured as members, and if the defendant was within the meaning of these, and the evi dence showed that he was, then he was liable to a penalty for every offence of not more than 201. If, how ever, the defendant objected to his jurisdiction and wished to have the matter re-argued, then the case could stand over, and the sitting magistrate then could call in what aid he might think fit ; but if, on the contrary, the defendant was willing to submit to his decision, he thought a nominal penalty would meet the case before him. Mr. Ballantine, after some consultation with his client, advised him to submit to the nominal penalty. The defendant was then fined 51., and 51. costs. Mr. Clarkson said Messrs. Beard were not taking these steps for the sake of the penalties, and they, therefore, wished the amount should be placed in the poor-box. Mr. Ballantine wished to know if the other summonses were to be proceeded with. Mr. Clarkson said, as his object was to obtain a con viction, he should waive the other summonses for the present. WORSHIP-STREET.—An elderly man, named John APGrath, was placed at the bar before Mr. Ham mill, charged with having assaulted and otherwise grossly misconducted himself towards a young girl, named Esther Harrison, 12 years of age. The complainant stated that she lived with her father, who was a plasterer, in North-street, Bethnal-green, but feeling anxious to obtain employment as a domestic servant, she left home for the purpose of seeking a situ ation on the morning of Friday last, and after search. ing about without success until she was completely exhausted, she sat down to reit herself upon the steps of the Whitechapel Workhouse, between nine and ten o'clock on that evening. She had only been there a few minutes when she was accosted by the prisoner, who asked her if she was in want of a home, and at the same time proposed that she should accompany him to his residence in the neighbourhood, as he was in want of a servant, and would do everything in his power to make her comfortable. Witness declined ,to accede to his re quest, but the prisoner insisted upon her proceeding with him at once, and, after forcibly raising her from the steps, se zed hold of her arm, and dragged her along one of the adjoining streets. On reaching one of the houses at the end of the street, which he informed her was his residence, the prisoner thrust her into the pas sage, and, after locking the street door, he took her into a room on the ground floor, and immediately com menced subjecting her to acts of the grossest indecency. After minutely describing the conduct of the prisoner, which was wholly unfit for publication, the witness added that she resisted him as well as she could, and screamed loudly for assistance to no purpose, and she had since ascertained that the only persons in the place were herself and the prisoner. After accomplishing his purpose the prisoner left the house, but locked the door after him, which precluded her from effecting her escape, and he shortly afterwards returned, and intimated that if she agreed to remain with him, he would furnish her with plenty of food, and allow her a shilling a week. The prisoner slept with her that night, and had ever since kept her in the house, and occupied the same bed with het, until the previous evening, when she was traced out by her mother-in-law, who conveyed her home, and gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to the charge the prisoner declared that the girl had voluntarily accompanied him to his house, and positively denied that he had acted with violence to wards her. Mr. Hammill said that it was a very serious charge, which required the most searching investigation, and he should order the prisoner to be remanded for the pro duction of further evidence. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. TVillicon , Torrence was summoned before Mr. Bingham for wilfully break ing the ranks of the Coldstream Guards. Drummer Harrison said the Coldstream Guards were crossing Piccadilly when the defendant, who was in a cart, drove the horse through the ranks. The defen dant, came at a quick trot, and the horse nearly knocked him down. Corporal Downes said as soon as the defendant drove through the ranks he turned round, put his finger to his nose, and called theta " soldiers belonging to the 46th." The defendant said the witness was mistaken about the position of his finger ; it was not placed on his nose, but only on his chin, with no offensive object. He never said anything about the 46th or any other soldiers or officers. Mr. Bingham had no doubt that the defendant did break through the ranks designedly, and that he did use offensive gestures and expressions. For doing these things he should fine him 40s. and costs. THE MYSTERIOUS CASE AT NEW BRIGHTON. An inquiry took place at the Liscard Sessions-house, on Wednesday and Thursday last, before the magistrates, relative to the mysterious death of Mrs. Emily Watts, wife of Mr. William Watts, surgeon, of Nottingham, who was charged with having made false returns to the registrar as to the cause of death of his wife, which oc curred on Monday, the 4th ult. Mrs. Watts, it was stated, took an injection of tobacco water on that morn ing, which produced death in the afternoon ; and on the Wednesday her husband, who is a surgeon, made a re turn to the registrar that she died from constipation of the bowels and effusion into the abdomen. On the Sa turday following an inquest was held upon the body, before Mr. Churton, coroner, when the jury returned a verdict of " Died from an over-dose of tobacco." Informa tions were subsequently laid against Mr. Watts, at the instigation of the brother of the deceased, Mr. Barkwortb, of Hull, for having made a false return to the registrar, and the case, as has been already stated, was partially heard on Wednesday and Thursday. Evidence at great length was then heard, but, although there appeared to be some suspicious circumstances attached to the case, nothing transpired to directly implicate Mr. Watts in having administered the tobacco water as an injection to his wife, or even that he had been cognisant of the fact until the Wednesday evening after the death, when he was informed by their servant, Esther Winn. The further hearing of the case was resumed on Satur day last, before Major-General Sir Edward Cust, Bart., and Mr. Daniel Neilson. The solicitors for the prosecu tion were Mr. Snowball, Mr. Banning, and Mr. Phil lips, of Hull. The counsel for the defence was Mr. Con way, barrister, instructed by Mr. Townsend, solicitor. The case for the prosecution having been closed on Thurs• day last, the proceedings were opened by Mr. Conway rising to address the bench for the de fence, when he made a brilliant and r.rgumentative address, occupying the court about an hour and three quarters. The learned counsel, in the most earnest and emphatic terms, called upon the bench not merely to dis miss the summons, but to do so in such terms as should silence the busy tongue of rumour, and enable his client, who had grown grey in an honourable profession, and who now, in the evening of his days, was for the first time assailed by calumny, to go forth once more into the world and resume that social position which he had hitherto enjoyed, and from which a conviction, or the suspicion, of such a charge as that which he was now called upon to answer, must for ever banish him. The first witness called for the defence was John Maurice Banner, surgeon, who deposed that he had known several times an injection of tobacco water having boon used in cases of obstinate constipation. It was a remedy that was used with great caution. The symptoms which preceded Mrs. Watts' death were such as might be supposed to follow rupture of the abdomen, produced by prolonged constipation. In cross-examina tion, witness stated that in prolonged constipation, if the patient were seized with faintness and prostration, accompanied by continued convulsions, he should have used a powerful injection, and if the symptoms con tinued to be aggravated, he should have sent for addi tional assistance. In the present case he should not necessarily have concluded from the symptoms that there had been administration of poison. He would not , have felt anxious for a post-mortem examination. Mr. John Parke, surgeon, New Brighton, deposed that the defendant, in course of conversation with him •n one occasion, had told him that his wife was subject to constipation of the bowels, and asked him (witness) several questions in reference to the complaint, and after wards said he would like to . call witness in. After the death, on the 6th of September, the defendant called at his shop, and asked if he had any printed forms or certi ficates. Witness filled up a form of the cause of death for the defendant, as he had a paralysed hand. From the symptoms which he had heard, he should have thought that the cause of death had been prolonged con stipation and effusion into the abdomen. In the conver sation with the defendant, the latter made no reservation —his manner appeared perfectly innocent. Miss Sophia Wade, granddaughter of the defendant, was next examined, but her evidence was nearly similar to that given by Esther Winn on the Thursday. She stated that Mrs. Watts refused to see any other medical man than the defendant, and to hearing of the tobacco after she had been to the registrar's office with Mr. Watts. Mr. Conway here put in the original will, executed at Cheltenham on the 12th of June, 1854, and a copy of the one made at New Brighton on the 31st of August, 1854. They were nearly the same, and bequeathed the greater portion of the property of the deceased, 14,0001., to the defendant. The first will was attested by Esther Winn and Mary Brian, servants to Mrs. Watts. Mr. Albright, druggist, in his examination, said that on the day on which the deceased died Esther Winn brought a prescription—a dose of croton oil —to his shop. Witness remarked at the time that the patient must be suffering under obstinate constipation. On a previous occasion, Mr. Watts had called at ;witness's shop for a mild aperient powder, and he manifested great anxiety that it should be properly made up. Mr. Conway—That is my defence. Mr. Snowball replied at some length. He said that the present was not a final investigation. It was merely preliminary ; and the question for the magistrates to consider was, not whether the defendant was guilty, but whether there was 'reasonable ground of suspicion to make it necessary that a further investigation should take place before a judge and a jury of the country. He then reviewed the evidence, pointing out the manner in which the defendant had acted throughout the whole affair, and concluded by saying that he would leave the matter to the better feeling and judgment of the bench. The magistrates retired to consult at half-past three o'clock, and shortly before four they returned, when Major-General Sir Edward Cust said that they had given a patient and, he thought the court would admit, a most anxious consideration to the case before them. It had occupied their minds not only then, but during the whole course of the proceedings, with the anxious desire to come to a decision that would appear to the public, as well as to every reflecting person, that they had considered the matter in all its bearings. The de termination they had come to was, that there was not sufficient evidence in support of the informations to justify them in sending the case to trial ; because) in their opinion, the grand jury would throw out the (bill. But in taking this course they felt a satisfaction, if they were in error in the course they had adopted, as it was still competent for the friends of the deceased lady to enter an indictment without their aid, before the grand jury. He was also desirous that it should be known to the public that the bench did not feel themselves precluded, in coming to their present decision, from hereafter receiving any evi dence that might be forthcoming in a case which ap peared to have in its nature some grievous circumstances. The proceedings of the court terminated, and the par es retired.—Liverpool Mercury of Tuesday, ROYAL SOUTH BUMS AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.- Yesterday the annual meeting of this society, of which her Majesty is the patroness, was held in the vicinity of Slough, and the interest of the occasion consisted in a ploughing match, at which " the bold peasantry" of Buckinghamshire were engaged for some hours in the innocent and generous rivalry of "driving their team afield ;" and a dinner afterwards at the Windmill Tavern, Salthill, under the presidency of the Right Hon.

The ploughing match took place in a field •n Burnham Abbey Farm, in the occupation of Mr. Ralph Goodwin, and, the day being singularly beautiful, a considerable number of people were attracted to the scene, many of the neighbouring gentry being present, among others Mr. Labouchere and Lady Mary Labouchere, Colonel Hood, and Major Bent. The competitors, fifty-three in number, included ploughmen in the service of H.R.H. Prince Albert, the Duke of Buccleuch, and the Earl of Orkney. About 100 gentle men sat down to dinner. Among the company were Mr. J. Trumper, Major Bent, Mr. Wanklyn, Mr. Clayton, Mr. Kaye, Major Simpson, : . trid the Rev. H. Palmer. The repast was graced by several haunches of venison from the royal forests at Windsor, presented by H.R.H. Prince Albert. A PICKPOCILET AT CHURCH.—On Sunday morning, as Mrs. Hughes, wife of the governor of the Blind Asylum, Old Trafford, near Manchester, was leaving the gallery of the chapel attached to the Deaf and Dumb School, to attend the communion service, she was followed into a pew by a well-dressed man, of fashion able exterior, who took his seat beside her, along with some blind pupils who were under her care. He bad a light coat slung over his arm, which he kept in that positiori. While they were kneeling together, Mrs. Hughes felt his hand in her pocket. She could not see his movements, as his arm was covered by the coat, and on turning rand his hand was instantly with drawn. Immediately afterwards Mrs. Hughes made signals with her fingers in the deaf and dumb language to her husband, who sat in a pew opposite, telling him what had occurred, and he signalled back to her, re questing her to remain quiet. As soon as the service was concluded, the man endeavoured as quickly as pos sible to leave thechapel, but Mrs. Hugheshaving given in formation to a gentleman who was near her, he was de tained and given into custody. Yesterday morning he was brought before Mr. Trafford, at the New Bailey, Salford, when he gave his name as Thomas Johnson, alias Hopkins, and was identified by the police as a well-known Manchester thief. He was committed to prison with hard labour for three months.

[Atrzaelszwarr.] — Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most power ful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Ratio-course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses (glazed with Munic German Glass), to know the distances of objects viewed through them—of great im portance to the army, navy, and others. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Ob serve—opposite the York Hotel.— These telescopes possess such extraordinary powers that some 3i inches, with an ex tra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 12 to 14 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly.—The R o y a l Ex hibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat -pocket glass, the sizeof a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known 1 miles distant ; they answer every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera, race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful power ; an object can be clearly seen from 10 to 12 miles distant. Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power. The valuable advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation—can see with these lenses of a much less mag nifying power—and they do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. • Deaf ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordi nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist ance that possibly could be desired,-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.

Steinfall, 33, described in the calendar as a merchant, and of superior education, was indicted for having stolen certain Prussian and Austrian notes, value 501. and a gold watch, the money and property of. Adele Ruderga,nsli. _ The prosecutrix, a well dressed and pretty looking young Hungarian, the daughter of a colonel in the ser vice of the Emperor of Austria, deposed, her evidence being given through an interpreter, that in the month of July last she came to this country from Boulogne, to open a shop in the millinery way of business , and she went to live in the house of a Madame Schultz, a friend of hers, at No. 9, Clifton-street, Finsbury-square, who was aware that she was about to take a shop to start in business. On the first Sunday after her arrival in London, she was taking a walk with Madame Schultz, when they met the prisoner, to whoa] she was introduced as a friend of Madame Schultz, and a very good man. The prisoner conversed with her in her own language, and they all went to Hampstead. On her return she went to a lodging No. 1, Clifton•street, where the prisoner afterwards visited her, and proposed to marry her—and then that she should live with him as his wife. On the 4th of August he came to see her in the afternoon, and against her will, and in spite of her resistance, violated her per son. Afterwards she consented to live with him, and he took a lodging for her, representing that she was his wife, at No. 9, Union-place, City-road. The prisoner from the first day he knew her was aware that she had money and that she was about to start a shop, and he said he was a dealer in watches, and would start in busine3s with her. Her money consisted of Austrian and Prussian bank-notes—value 50/. English. She showed it to him, and he said, " What is the u.e of your keeping this money in the house, I'll take it to the bank, and get interest for it." On the second day she lived with him, she gave him the money for him to place it in the bank, and he afterwards told her he had placed it in the bank, and she asked him for the receipt of it, and he promised thft she should have it. She had a gold watch in her possession which had been out of repair. The prisoner asked her for it, and said he would take it to a watchmaker's and get it re- paired, but she e.id not see it again until after he was in custody when a pawnbroker's duplicate relating to it was found upon him. On the 7th September he packed up all his things, and expressed his intention of leaving her. She asked him to return her her money and her watch, when he said he had had no money from her. This led to a quarrel, and he persisted that he had not had any of her money. He beat her with his stick and kicked her. In the evening he went away in a cab, but re turned afterwards, when she procured a constable, and gave him into custody for stealing her money and the watch. Afterwards she missed a good many articles of clothing from her drawers. Cross-examined—She told Madame Schultz of her having been violated by the prisoner the first time she saw her after the occurrence, and showed her marks caused by his vio lence. She cried and said what a villanous man he must be. Madame Schultz advised her to marry him before this took place, but particularly afterwards. No inter course took place between them from the 4th of August till the 10th. The defendant when he beat her, made her black and blue about her body. She kept the money in her trunk wrapped up in stout paper. She counted it before him. She came to London by the steamer from Hamburg—second dam Her luggage was examined at the Custom-house. There were 350 thalers altogether, she got part at Hamburg, and part at Vienna, by working as a milliner. She left Vienna for Hamburg, to proceed to America by way of England. She changed some of her Austrian notes at Hamburg for Prussian ones. She was acquainted at Hamburg with Herr Grohman, son of a merchant, and his family compelled her to leave the place because they did not approve of a marriage which was contemplated between her and Grohman. The police gave her notice to attend the office, and told her that if she did not give up a ring which Grohman had given her as a pledge of betrothal she would be sent to prison. She did not receive a police notice to leave within 24 hours. She went to Vienna from Hamburg, and six months afterwards she went through from Vienna to London by way of Hamburg. She first saw the prisoner on the 29th of July. He pro posed to marry her on the 4th of August, and she went to live with him as his wife. It was on the 4th of August that he violated her. She fainted, and he threw water upon her, and when she recovered she found that his purpose had been accomplished. She told this to Madame Schultz, who, however, did not advise her to go before a magistrate, but told her to marry the prisoner. She at first resisted the prisoner. He threw her on the floor, and all this she told Madame Schultz on the fol lowing morning. That was the first time that she saw her after it took place. They went to Vauxhall on the 30th July. She knew a person named Diespecker. She did not tell him that she had not the means of pay ing her passage to America, or that she bad no money, nor did she say to Madame Schultz that she should have to pawn her watch and rings. She said nothing about money to her. She did not say that she had written to her cousin, Theresa Tindahl, who was very pretty, to came over, and they would soon earn plenty of money. She had cousins who were women. She did not ask Madam!, Schultz to swear that she had seen her in possession of money, or th a t th e pr i soner h a d b eaten her. She did not say th a t s h e would get 501. out of the prisoner as she knew he had friends. She asked Madame Schultz to write a letter for her to her cousin Theresa, who was 27 or 28, b u t did not tell her to raise a sum mentioned, 20 or 30 florins, but told her that it would take about that to pay her passage to E ng l an d. She told her to go to the Hotel d'L'Europe at Hamburg, and send , for Robert Grohman, who would see her on board. She wanted he r to come over to aid in the management of her business. Sh e c h ange d her Austrian notes into Prussian because the rate of exchange on the latter was less thethanon toE former. nglish She changed 10/. worth of thaler notes into sovereigns at Hamburg.

About the same time, however, White's stirrup-leathers came out of the bars, and Defiance became unmanageable ; before reaching the winning-post, White was twice thrown on to the horse's neck ; but, despite this mishap, De fiance passed the post first by two lengths, Milk boy, who was second, being about a length in advance of Caliph, who was third ; Professor Buck was fourth, Titterstone fifth. After passing the post, White fell to the ground, but was fortunately uninjured. Defiance got loose, and knocked down a man before he was caught. On returning to scale, the rider of Caliph lodged an objection against the riders of Milkboy and Defiance for driving him nearly upon the rails. Whitehouse, the rider or Milkboy, also preferred a complaint against Defiance on the same ground. In the absence of the stewards the case was referred to Mr. John Trevor, who, after hearing evidence, decided that Defiance was entitled to the stakes. Mr. Morris, the owner of Caliph, however, entered a protest against the decision, on the ground that the referee had no authority to act in the matter.

On Monday the following communication was received by Captain Halsted, R.N., secretary of Lloyd's, from their agent at Batavia, dated Ang. 4, 1854 : It is with regret that I have to report the loss of no less than four British vessels, namely — The ship Fatima, Captain Hardie, from Melbourne, wrecked in Torres Straits. The Thomasine, Captain Holm es, from Sydney, lost in the same Straits. The barque Elizabeth, Captain Churchill, from Mel bourne, also wrecked in Torres Straits, and The ship Artol7/11615, Captain Banes, from Now Zealand, lost in Kangeany. We enclose for your information a note of the parti culars of these unfortunate disasters. The several crews were picked up by Captain Brocksmit, of the Dutch ship Bato, of Xtiddleburg, to whom the committee of Lloyd's may be disposed under the circumstance to address a letter of thanks, seeing that he has been the means, under Pro vidence, of saving the lives of about fifty British seamen. The ship Fatima, Captain Hardie, was on her passage to Batavia, and her loss occurred on the 20th of Juno, in a deep bight of the great detached reef (in Torres Straits) in lat. 11. 47. S., long. 144. 1. E. ; fain Island beacon bear ing N. by W., ten miles distant, wind at the time blowing strong from the S.E., and current setting in at the rate of three knots to the N.W. The crew were exposed to great suffering in their boats for nine days, before they were picked up by Captain Brocksmit. The Thomasine, Captain Holmes, was hound to Bata via ; her loss took place on the 19th of June, on an un discovered reef in the Straits, on the north east coast of Australia, in lat. 16. 19. S., long. 14S. 5. E. It is a bout ten or twelve miles in length, as Captain Holmes Judges, with a deep bay in the centre, lying E.N.E. to W.N.T. The captain states that he had a new chart of 1853, but no such danger is placed. One of the crew, a Manilla, was lost, the rest 91 the ship's comPenT. inoludias Coptoin Day wiwn male ut.

The barque Elizabeth, Cal `fain Churchill, belonged to Bristol. She was bound from .sJolbourne to Moulmein, and struck on a small reef, outside o"C the barrier Roe, on the 28th of the same month (June). The reef is situate in lat. 12. 10. S. She was got off aga.‘n, but making much water, and at daylight the crew abantioned her, fast sink ing close in to the Barrier Reef, in which ilirection she drifted. The crew, after being in the boats fiv e days, con trived to reach Booby Island, where they retrained f our days, when they were taken oft by the Dutch &hip Bato. The ship Artemisia was bound to Singapore., and was abandoned off the eastern side of Kangeany Boy. Her crew, 22 in number, took to the boats, and suocseeded in gaining Sourabaya. The officers and crew of the wrecked ships speak in the highest terms of the conduct of Captain Brocksmit, and the hospitable manner in which they were treated on board his ship.
