BELGIUM. We have already stated that the number of new' deputies justly elected to the Belgian Chamber of Representatives is ten. The number who had to go out, according to the constitutional rotation, was 54, of whom 44 have been re-elected. The Belgian Moniteur says :—" A Council of Ministers was held yesterday at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to take into consideration the result of the elections. At the end of the sitting the Minister of Foreign Affairs applied for an interview with the Xing." STATE OF TRADE. (Front the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, FRIDAY, June 16.—The check which was last week given to the upward tendency of prices con tinues to be felt in our market. Both in goods and yarns, however, we remain steady at the previous attainable rates. There is evidently a more general business grow ing up. In yarns, the Germans are increasing their pur chases to cover sales of which they were advisedin the early part of this week; and the Greeks, who have received im proved accounts from Persia and Constantinople, are now buying certain kinds of both yarns and goods to a moderate extent. In the home trade, too, there is some improvement ; and both the printers and general dealers are buying rather more from the manufacturers. Still, the market is felt to be inanimate. This is very much owing to the cessation of the late active de mand for India, which the advices just come to hand are not likely to revive ; for the report from Bombay is unfavourable, and, though at Calcutta large sales had been effected, there was a slight giving way in prices ; while the quantities shipped from hence are known to be enormous. From America we learn that the confident statements we were lately receiving of extensive destruction to the young cotton plant by frost, were generally abandoned ; and the New York market was dull at a decline of lc. per lb. ; but, at New Orleans, the class of "middling," which had fallen to 74c. in the previous week, was quoted at Bc. on the 27th May, with freight at 15-16 d. It is difficult to comprehend the movements that take place at Liverpool. From ten to fourteen days ago many forced sales were effected considerably under the autho rised quotations. These may be accounted for ' • but we do not see what can have led to the purchase of 7,000 to 10,000 bales per day during the la st three days. generalmarket confidence presented ;andfirmer the aspectGLA S t G h O is W w , j demand for cotton has been fa ir, at very full prices. e e u k l e with 6 mTohree THE COALITION. (From the Press of this clay.) Four months of feebleness, accompanied by some humiliating circumstances, have been followed by a reconstruction of the cabinet, which has not added either to its strength or its dignity. Lord John Russell, whose self-respect we were told, was sustained by his filling no post under Lord Aberdeen, now avowedly holds a subordinate office under that energetic chief. This pointless result has not even been accomplished without cost, and the price of an undesirable incident is the degradation of a young and able Minister, and one of the few members of the Coalition to whom the country looks with some degree of confidence and hope. Had the seals relin quished by the Duke of Newcastle been entrusted to the late President of the Council, they would certainly have been used with not less vigour and discretion than by Sir George Grey, who will find in the office, to which he returns with exhausted energies, no traditions of his past success. During the last two months the decline of the Cabi net in public estimation has been rapid and continuous. This is the more remarkable, as there is a great absence of party feeling in the country, and the Opposition throughout the session, with the exception of the im portant motion of Mr. Baring, has discreetly confined itself to consolidating its strength, and acting on the de fensive. There is no doubt that a considerable and influential portion of the community, on the formation of the pre sent Ministry, were prepared to accord to it their sup port from the belief that it consisted of men eminent for their skill in the management of affairs. The country, in a great measure, was willing to find compensation for the absence of distinct principles in official dexterity. A series of failures, perhaps without parallel in Parlia mentary history, has taught us that no degree of mere administrative habitude can supply the energy which a compact and confiding party can alone afford, or remedy the internal dissensions of those who are bound together neither by political nor personal sym pathy. The country has seen with amazement during the last four months enormous propositions brought forward without due deliberation and precipitately withdrawn. The Ministers have intro duced schemes for the reform of Parliament, for the re demption of the public debt, for national education, for the abolition of the law of settlement, for the remodel ling of oaths, of universities, and of the whole civil ser vice of the country, and for the abolition of constitu tional securities, with the carelessness of children blow ing bubbles. Their campaign has been an alternation of overwhelming discomfitures or precipitate retreats. It is this readiness to meddle with all things, and inability to settle any, that has alienated from them that valuable public confidence which was not originally prompted by party feeling. The impartiil world naturally observes that if these great measures were necessary for the public welfare they ought not to have been abandoned, and, if unnecessary, ought not to have been introduced. But while the country is perplexed at the incapacity of those from whom so much was expected, and who themselves announced that so much should be accom plished, it finds itself suddenly in a condition which it had almost brought itself to believe was incompatible with the civilisation of the age ; and that it is absolutely involved in a war which may be prolonged and costly, and of which the cause and the object are equally obscure. It seems now pretty well agreed that no Power in Europe wished to go to war ; and that, if Lord Aberdeenhad not been Minister of this country, no war could possibly have occurred. A want of frankness and of firmness on the part of the English Ministry has tempted the Emperor of Russia to occupy a position from which he finds it almost impossible to extricate himself with honour. Counting on the avowed prejudices of Lord Aberdeen against the Sovereign of France, and his long-cherished sympathy with the Sovereign of Rus sia, Nicholas, feeling his way at every step, ventured on a course which may involve -Europe in a struggle of years. His assumption was that England and France could not act together : he consequently complimented Lord Aberdeen on the English fleet not accompanying the French squadron to Salamis ; the compliment was accepted without a remonstrance, and the Russians passed the Pruth ! Whether we consider our external or domestic rela tions, one is almost tempted to admire the ingenuity which in the space of eighteen months has contrived to accomplish so much disappointment, and to achieve so much disaster. In the meantime, there are some symptoms in our in ternal condition which ought to attract the attention, and perhaps excite the anxiety, of all reflecting men. It is impossible any longer to deny, or to conceal, that the Protestant feeling of this country has assumed a power which, if not appreciated and guided with sincerity and discretion, may effect in these kingdoms even startling changes. The desertion to Rome of a large body of the Oxford clergy some years ago was the first event which, awakening the High Church party from their bewilder ing trance, largely reinforced the Protestant ranks ; the Wiseman aggression—above all, the solemn announce. ment in Parliament, at the time, of the Prime Minister of England, that there was without doubt a vast Papal con spiracy against the liberties of Edope—confirmed, and even inflamed, the fears of the followers of the Reformation. Since that period there has been, on the part not only of the middle classes, but of the great majority of the upper classes of this country, a growing conviction that a stand must be made against the aggressive spirit of Rome. The influential presence in the existing Cabinet of those very statesmen who uncompromisingly and successfully opposed Lord John Russell in his attempts to resist the Jesuit influence has been viewed from the first with dis trust and alarm by the mass of the community, who rarely interest themselves in the struggles of political parties. But this spirit has already made itself felt even in the present House of Commons. The Parliament is more Protestant than the Ministry, but the country is more Protestant than the Parliament.

THE CLAREMONT TRAGEDY. EMIR, Friday evening. —At 11 o'clock this morning the mortal remains of the unfortunate little victims of this tra gedy were conveyed to their final resting place, in the old churchyard of Esher. The ceremony was both imposing and sad, and one which those who witnessed it will never forget. From an early hour the vicinity of the deceased's residence and the roads leading to the place of interment were thronged by persons of both sexes and all grades, who by their lamen tations and wailings evidenced their sorrow on the occasion. All the residents of the locality were present, and it was com puted that there were between 2,000 and 3,000 persons as sembled, a large number having come from Kingston, Guild ford, Weybridge, and the surrounding country. On the pre vious day the concourse of persons was much greater than to day, as it was fully expected that the funeral, arrangements for which had been 'conducted quite privately, would take place then. Precisely at 11 o'clock this morning the funeral co r t ege , f low sepulture, which towardstheunderln full i n e s g e o p i a t c e e d übpy a th e b o E d i; f half a mile aorn the churchyard, and along t he whol e specter Murtell. The road which had to be t raversed was line crowds were iu waiting to witness the last sad scene, As the funeral procession approached its destinatio n, the feel ing amongst the people appeared to burst all bound i s, and, sh o al:4 the 1' constabulary, no longer able to contain their emotions, they burst into one discordant moan. Several elderly females were so com pletely overcome that they fainted, and had to be con veyed into the adjoining houses, Upon arriving at the burial ground the procession was met by the Rev. Mr. Williams, the curate, who, the reverend and aged rector, Mr. Harton, being too much affected to attend, had to officiate in his stead. The church, churchyard, and its vicinity were completely crowded. Upon entering the sacred building the coffins were each depo sited in the aisle across the pews, and immediately facing the reading desk, from whence the rev. gentleman read the burial service, during which there was one continued sobbing through out the whole of the congregation, all being deeply moved, especially those who, from being servants on the Claremont domain, knew the deceased children well, They, indeed, showed their grief as much as the mourners themselves, who, as might be supposed, continued weeping during the whole service. The unfortunate father never once lifted his head from the beginning to the ending of the service. He buried his face in his hands, and was literally convulsed with grief. The usual funeral service having been concluded in the church, the melancholy procession, headed by the reverend clergyman, proceeded to the place of interment, where, under a drooping cypress, a deep grave had been prepared for the little murdered innocents. As the mournful procession passed all present un covered, as a mark of respect for the dead. This was the most touching scene of all, and every one noticed that the poor father's feelings grew more acute as he approached that spot which, in a short time, would inclose 'all that was dear to him. Arrived at the grave, the coffins were severally lowered in the following order: first, Georgiaua, the eldest, then Caroline, then William, then Henry, and lastly the twins Harriet and George, the bodies being placed upon one another accord ing to the respective ages of the deceased, thereby allowing the coffins to form two tiers in the grave. At the lowering of the last coffin the father had to be held up to prevent his falling forward, so great was his affliction. The service hav ing been concluded, the clergyman moved away from the dis tressing scene, which appeared to deeply affect him. Then followed the mourners, after which they took a last farewell look into the silent. sepulchre. The wretched father had to be assisted from the awful scene, and Mr. Storey, of the Wheat sheaf Tavern, adjoining the churchyard, perceiving his sad condition, kindly sent his carriage to convey the mourner home. Such a mournful scene as the village presented during the brief space of time the funeral occupied was never wit nessed by the oldest inhabitant. But while commiserating the fate of the unfortunate children, and their much more un fortuate father, the people in strong words upbraided the murderess and the man whom they charged with the whole cause of the awful drama. Amongst the mourners who fol lowed the poor little creatures to their grave were their sister; Mr. Limerick, brewer, of Meet-end; Mr. Hunter, page at Claremont Palace, and two of the wretched murderess's sis ters. The arrangements, which were conducted by Messrs. Allwright and Forster, undertakers, of Esher, were simple, and quite in bearing with the melancholy occasion, the coffins being made of plain deal, and covered with grey cloth, sur mounted with breastplates, on which were merely inscribed the names, ages, &c., of the deceased. It was stated that all the funeral expenses would be defrayed by tho ex. Queen of the French, who throughout, together with the Prince de Join ville and the . other royal residents of Claremont, has evinced the greatest commiseration for the afflicted father. The un fortunate woman who has caused all this misery appears now to show the utmost indifference to the whole appallino. transac tion. She was well aware of the funeral taking Place this day, and in speaking of it ordered that the mourners should on their return from their painful duty dine in the kitchen, and to have green peas for their dinner, and not on any ac count be permitted to enter her room, to prevent which she threatened to barricade her door. The police who are in charge of the miserable woman deny that she requested to see her husband and was refused by the latter, and say that, on the contrary, She begs of them not to allow her husband to enter her room. Her disposition is very perverse ; at one time she wishes to see this person, and the next moment refuses to speak to any one. The Rev. Mr.. Harbin paid a visit to her yesterday. She refused to see the reverend gentleman at first, but after some consideration she consented, on the condition that he would not broach the subject of her conduct, which promise being complied with, the reverend pastor entered her room, and read to her for upwards of an hour. She listened to her pious instructor attentively, but it did not appear to make much impression upon her. Subsequently, as on pre vious occasions, she requested Collett, the constable in atten dance upon her, to read out of the Bible to her, which request was, of course, granted. The ill-fated woman bears not the character of being at all religiously inclined, being given more to novel-reading than the Scriptures. This coldness preyed so much on the reverend rector's mind as to prevent his at tending the funeral this day. Her indifference at her awful condition excites the horror of all who hear of it. Yesterday among other things, she told her attendants to give notice to the tradespeople, to whom she owed a few petty debts, to send in their accounts, that she might settle with them before she left, remarking that she had always been honourable in her dealings. She further says that she knows that she will be removed, but they will not be able to remove her for a week. The man who is mixed up in the tragical occurrence has entirely left the village, and has taken up his residence at five miles distance; his wretched wife remains dangerously ill. His house was surrounded by several of the villagers yesterday evening, and respect for his wife prevented its en• dre demolition. BETTING ON HORSE-RACING IN PUBLIC-ROUSES. Charles Morbey, the landlord of the Sun public-house, in Long-acre, was summoned before Mr. Jardine, at Bow-street, yesterday, to answer the charge of unlawfully and knowingly permitting his house to be used by divers other persons for the purpose of betting on horse-racing with persons resorting thereto. Mr. Huddleston appeared for the defendant. As this and the succeeding are the first complaints made under the Act 16th and 17th Viet., c. 119, for the suppression of betting-houses, a considerable crowd of persons interested in the subject attended the hearing. John Stannard, police-constable F 145, stated that he visited defendant's house on the 30th of May last, at about half-past 8, and remained there till 11 o'clock in the evening. There were from 40 to 50 persons in the front room on the first floor, and during the time he was present they were en gaged in betting with one another upon different horses. They had betting-books in their hands. The landlord was present also with a book, and he betted with the others. Mr. Jardine—What kind of language was used ? Witness—They said to ono another, " I will bet 24 to 2" on such and such a horse ; " I will back" so and so ; and then the bets were entered in their books. Witness was about to refer to a private memorandum which he stated ho wrote the same evening, having copied it from his pocket- book, when Mr. Huddlestou insisted on looking both at the memoran durn and the pocket-book, and cross-examined the witness with some warmth as to his mode of preparing it. He elicited from the constable that some writing on the back of the docu ment was written by his superior officer, who instructed him how to act. By Mr. Jardine —The whole of the memorandum is not copied from my pocket-book, as some of it was put down from memory. I had directions, after visiting the house, to make a report to the inspector as to what was going on. I was asked if the landlord was present and joined in the betting, and having replied that he was, the inspector wrote a memo randum on the back of my report, telling me to state that fact iu evidence. Mr. Huddleston then replied for the defendant, stating that he could not place implicit reliance upon the avowal of the witness that the landlord was himself present and taking part in the betting, because, in his original report to the inspector, he had omitted to say anything about it. That a number of persons had assembled in the defendant's room, and were betting with each other, he did not mean to dispute ; but that his client " kept" the house for the purpose of betting with persons who resorted thereto, he begged on his behalf most emphatically to deny. He could not help looking with suspicion upon the manner in which the officer had revised his report, after the interview with his superior officer. But even the fact of the landlord being present, and making a casual bet with one of his customers, would not, he contended, render him liable to the penalties imposed by the now act, which contemplated a very different kind of offence. For the purpose of his argument, he would suppose Mr. Morbey to be present in the room and hearing the betting going on —that is, the taking or giving the odds of the day, by per sons resorting to his house and what did it amount to ? It was precisely similar to what occural every day in the week, except Sunday, he believed, at Tattersall's, and at half the clubs in London. The third section of the act makes it an offence for the owner or occupier of any house, place, or office, knowingly, and wilfully permitting the same to be opened, kept, or used for certain purposes which are defined in the first section, which enacts that " no house, office, room, or other place shall be opened, kept, or used by any person, ac., for the purpose of betting with persons re sorting thereto, or receiving money, security, or otherwise, upon any event or contingency in relation to horse-racing, &c." The word " using" could not be construed to apply to any person simply frequenting the room, but it referred to any owner, occupier, or manager, who kept a purse there, and said " I am ready to take or give the odds of the clay." Au act of Parliament must be tested by the intentions of the framers, and the nature of the evil which it proposed to re medy. Now, what was this evil ? A nuisance of an abomin able character had sprung up in the metropolis, where bet ting-shops were opened iu all parts, and persons were asked to bet with the person who kept them, upon the mere faith of his assurance. This was the kind of betting sought to be suppressed by the Legislature ; not betting as it existed before, and exists still in higher circles. The present Attor ney-General, when introducing the measure, clearly pointed out this distinction. He said (the learned counsel here read from the Racing Times)—" Thp course now is for the bet ting-office keeper to hold. himself forth to bet with all corners, contrary to the usage of Tattersall's, whore persons bet with each other, and where no one keeps a table, or holds a bag against all comers." The intention of the act is here clearly defined. If any other construction is put upon it, the late Prime Minister, the Earl of Derby, would be liable, any day, as a frequenter of Tattersall's, to be proceeded against as an offender against the law of the land. In the preamble of the act the word " using" was not inserted, but the employment of that word subsequently, in con junction with "frequenting or re sorting," s h o wed that it had a distinct meaning, whic h, be submitted, must be interpreted by reference to the practice of common betting-offices as it existed before the passing of the bill in question. Mr. Jardine—No doubt the chief difficulty turns upon the three or four words " or any person using the same ?" and it is also reasonable enough that the intention of the act should be considered; but I shall reserve my judgment upon the point for more careful consideration. The second ewe, against John Smith, the landlord of the Duke's Head, Mercer-street, Long-acre, was then proceeded with. Similar evidence having been given by the police, Inspector Dodd produced a written announeement which he founded posted on defendant's mantel-piece on Sunday morning, the 4th inst., to the effect that " All bets on the Derby and Oaks will bo paid on Monday next." Witness said. to the landlord, "Do you know what that is He re- plied, " Oh, yes. I did not know that there was any harm in betting, if there was no money deposited." Witness said, " Have you not read the act of Parliament ?" He replied, " Yes ; I have got it in the house." Witness added, " You I will see, then, that you are liable to severe penalties. I shall take this to show the magistrate ;" upon which he tore down the notice and brought it away. Mr. Duncan, who attended for Smith, having addressed the bench in reply, Mr. Jardine said, there was some difference in the two cases, but he should defer his decision iu both for a week. He believed that in clubs there were some regulations defining the extent of it ; but still the practice was somewhat similar. Mr. Huddleston, who was a member of three clubs, could state that a regular sweepstakes was posted up in each of them. THE INSUBORDINATION ON BOARD THE LADY ELMA BRUCE. Captain BradshaW, of the Lady Elma Bruce, who, as stated yesterday, had been brought to this country from Monte Video, on a charge of murder, was on Thursday brought be fore the Mayor and borough magistrates of Southampton, when five of the crew—John Morris, able seaman ; Augustus Egans, seaman ; A ugus t us M e l v ill e , carpent er ; Peter Tully, painter ; and John Bolin, able seaman—were examined at great length. It appeared from their statement that the vessel, which belongs to Liverpool, and is 1,000 tons bur then, was joined by some new h an d s a t St . J o h n ' s, N ew Brunswick, in consequence of several of the crew having deserted, and proceed e d on h er voyage t o V a l para i so. O n the evening of April 3, there were some disturbances on board, in consequence of som e o f th e crew b ecom i ng insub ordinate and refusing to pump the ship when ordered to do so by the mate. Next mor n i ng ( the 4th of April) i t com menced to rain very heavily, and Chesterman (the man who was subsequently shot) and another man took shelter under the poop. The captain went up to them, and said, " Men, get buckets, and pass rain -water along." Chester man said he would not pass any m ore rain-water along while he was on board the ship, and, on the captain ask ing for his reason said, " Because, captain, I have as good a right to drink good water as you or your wife." They disputed together for some time, but their quarrel was terminated for a time by its becoming necessary to trim the sails of the ship. After the captain liaCi put the crew through the necessary manoeuvres, he crossed from the starboard towards the port side of the ship to Chesterman, and asked him what was the reason he would not pass along the rain water ? The man replied point The blank, " Because I won't, captain." captain again asked, " You won't ? " to which the man replied, "No, I will not." The captain then ordered him off the poop, and when he had turned round to go below, Chesterman received a blow on the head with a " sling shot." or life-preserver, which the ca p tain held in his hand. The blows were repeated, the captain try ing to trip the man up. Chesterman then grappled with Brad shaw, who attempted to strike him again with the " sling shot," but it flew out of his hand. Chesterman caught the captain by the hair with his left hand, and with his right hand dealt him a blow under the eye. They were then sepa rated, and Chesterman was in the act of leaving the poop, when the captain produced a revolver pistol, which he had before attempted to draw from his pocket, raised it, fired, and shot the man in the left side. Chesterman staggered down the ladder, and a short distance along the deck, and fell forward on his hands and knees. The captain turned to the men, held out the revolver, and exclaimed, " I'll shoot every one of you." The crew ran to Chesterman, and con veyed him to the forecastle, where he exclaimed—" I'm shot, Charlie," and immediately expired. The deceased was buried at sea. The occurrence took place near Rio de Janeiro, and the ship was run into Monte Video , w here the acting consul general investigated the circumstances, and forwarded the prisoner and the witnesses to England , together with the stock of the revolver. The case not having been concluded, the mayor remanded the prisoner. LAUNCH OF AN AUSTRIAN STEAM WAR FRIGATE. — On Thursday a timber-built paddle-steamer (not named), 1,100 tons burden, built for the Austrian Government, was launched from Mr. Wigram's yard, at Blackwell. She is pierced to carry 10 guns, and is to be fitted with engines of 400-horse power. A number of gentlemen connected with the Austrian embassy were present. THE CHAMPION (AUSTRALIAN) SCREW STEAMER.—A smart iron screw steam-ship, barque rigged, called the Champion, intended to run as mail and passenger packet between Melbourne, Sydney, and Port Adelaide, made an experimental trip down the river yesterday (Friday), to below the Mouse light-ship, preparatory to proceed ing to the colony. Her passage excited considerable observation, as much for her speed as for the ease of the working of her screw. She was built by Mr. T. D. Marshall, at Shields, from designs by Mr. John Dud geon ; measuring 130 feet extreme length, 23 feet beam, 12 feet depth in hold, and 300 tons burthen ; fitted with direct-acting engines of 60-horse power, which for com pactness we have not seen their equal. The screw is worked on Beattie's principle, from behind the rudder, the latter having an opening in the centre for the passage of the shaft, without causing the least influence on her steering qualities, which was fully evidenced in the ready and speedy manner she answered her helm in proceeding through a fleet of vessels beating up the river. Her engines worked 65 revolutions per minute. The work ing of the screw elicited the highest satisfaction, doing away with the unpleasant vibratory motion which pre vails in all screw-going steamers. The screw in the Champion is quite clear away from the stern of the ship, and the water is lashed quite free from her. The vessel left Blackwell at 11 o'clock, and reached the Nore at 2.10 p.m., where a trial of her speed was tested to the Mouse light-ship, a distance of eight nautical miles, which was done in 44 minutes against wind and tide, and in the return 36 minutes, thus showing the rate of speed to be 10.9 knots against tide and 13.3 knots with the tide, making an average of 12.1 knots per hour. The Champion is commanded by Mr. Helpman, a gen tleman who has been engaged many years in the Govern ment surveys of the coast of Australia. The ship draws but eight feet water, and is thus capable of encountering the difficulties in crossing the shallow bars in most of the harbours of the colony. WRECK OF A VESSEL ON No MAN'S LAND.—On Sa turday night, the harbour master at the Duke's pier hailed the captain of the schooner Andrew, of Fraser borough, Scotland, and ordered him to get his vessel ready to come into the docks, in order to take in a cargo of salt. The captain, Peter Moncrieff, was in a state of intoxication at the time, and entirely incapable of managing his vessel. The consequence was that she drifted down the river with the flood tide, and ran upon No Man's Land, which is near to Runcorn Gap, and there capsized upon her larboard side. The cap tain and crew abandoned the vessel, where she re mained until the next morning (Sunday). Mr. Howarth, agent to the trustees of the late Duke of Bridgewater. sent a messenger to Chief Constable Blake, to take steos for securing the vessel and the property contained therein. On Mr. Blake arrival's he went into the cabin and made a search for papers, and secured the ship's register, as well as other valuable documents. There was no person on board. Mr. John Smith, Mr. Threl fall, Rigby's foreman, and Mr. Blake, finding that no one would have anything to do with the vessel, employed about 15 men in order to save as much of the sails and running rigging as possible. They had scarcely got all cleared away before the flood time came in' very rapidly, and carried the vessel along with it, broke both masts into several pieces, and capsized the hull, carrying it a considerable distance up the river. The vessel remained in that position, keel uppermost, until it became high water, when she again righted. Mr. Smith then employed two ship carpenters, who scuttled the vessel, and let the water out, after which she was replanked. He obtained through Mr. Howarth the assistance of a steam-tug, in order to tow her to Mr. Anderson's shipyard, where she now remains. Through the exertions of Mr. Blake and Mr. John Smith, everything connected with the vessel was recovered. On inquiry, the vessel is found to belong to James M`Rae and Andrew Noble, of Aberdeen. She was built in 1849, and carries 110 tons. It is said that the conduct of the captain on the occasion was such as to demand investigation. The captain of the unfortunate vessel swans the river at Runcorn ferry on the Monday previous, while intoxicated, rather than wait for a boat. A boat belonging to a flat picked him up in the middle of the river, and in all probability, rescued him from a watery grave.—Liverpool Mercury. SUFFERINGS - 07 A SEALER'S CREW IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS.—The Banffshire Journal gives a n arrative of the suffering endured by the cre w of the Felix sealer of that port, who being obliged to abandon their vessel on account of its being stove by an iceberg, to the number of 26, were forced to take to the four boats without compass, and almost no stores of clothing, food, or drink. After passing a miserable night in different situations on the ice in their wet clothes, the keen frost of the Arctic zone curdling their blood, and the wild sea raging around, they succeeded in effecting a junction at one spot. The second night passed still more drearily, and a poor lad, James Burns, belonging to Banff, who had previously sickened from the effects of cold, hunger, and fatigue, died. James Tours, from Stromness, on whom these sufferings had also told severely, lingered till the fourth day, when he too died. Though much de pressed by the loss of their comrades, the rest of the crew yet bore up manfully. Making excursions, they caught some seals, the raw flesh of which was a dainty morsel to men in their situation. The third and fourth night passed without bringing the anxiously looked for relief. Heart-sick and weary, and almost in despair, on th?fo lo wing day a. party pulled out in the boat to a consider abletheir distance to look out for a vessel. Fortunatelyd joy they were realised, and with a le."'suppressed e sse of j th y e they beheld not far off a v essel . dtei evidently y to their sealing fleet. fleet. Returning panions, they communicateHtnl7 t e he l3 joYful intelligence when a crew of the strongest, and of those who had suffered least, being selected and headed by the cap tain,‘ Mr. Hay, the boat pushed off, and though not without much difficulty, succeeded in reaching the strange vessel. The ship proved to be the Brahmoor of Hanover, which had been among the seals, and was n ow on her way north to tne whale fishing. The master imme diately agreed to relieve the poor sufferers. Tho-e in the boat were taken on board the Brahmoor ; and the mas ter of the Felix getting a crew of Hanoverians, put off for the ice, and picked up the rest of the ship's com pany, many of whom were now in a. very famished and exhausted state. Though thus rescued from imminent death, the crew of the Felix were not altogether free from danger. Many of them indeed were much frost bitten, and their exhaustion being great their recovery was slow. One poor fellow, the mate, named Allan, belonging to Peterhead, di e d a f ter being taken off the ice. The frost had taken such effect upon his limbs that it was found necessary to amputate them, and though the operation was skilfully performed by the surgeon of the Brahmoor, yet Allan never rallied, and died shortly afterwards. It is melancholy to have to add, however, the wife of the mate (who was the mother-in-law of the captain) has died, her death being, it is said, caused by Ithe shock she re ceived by intelligence of the shipwreck and the loss of her husband. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY. —On Thursday afternoon, as the 5.30 down train had reached within two miles of the Bristol terminus, a man names; Hugh Knap, a tavern-keeper, but who has also been for sonic years employed on railways, wits carele ssl y sta n din g on the line, when the- buffer of the engine struck him on the side of the head, threw bins a distance of about eight yards, and killed him instantly. 98 • 60 591 60i 164 16 121 f 24i 5 7Ti 8# 8 63 i i ni ut 9i I 5 7i 41 100} 100 i I 191 20 63 i i 5 10 St. 5 341 31 4,1 4 I St. 14 13i 14i i St. 50 per emit. 1 St. 63/ 16! 10 St. St. 11 175 pm • 81 9 1 3 34 1 I 10 27d " 30 1 10 28, 50 25 12 13i 20 all all all all all 100 12 100 1100 18$ 96 5 136 4i 4 I 3 1 i SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES.—Fnmer. The " royal meeting" closed to-day amidst miserable wet weather, but with an amount of sport which for the most part afforded good fields for the operations of the professionals, who constituted the main body of the corn• pany present. Most of the events were well conteste4 and speculation was carried on with spirit. It will be seen by the subjoined details that the race for the Great Western Stakes was marked by casualties which occasioned much disappointment and excited feel ings of painful anxiety. Before we left the heath, how. ever, we had the satisfaction to find that nothing serious was apprehended. After the dead heat with Kennyside Hero and Diana, the latter walked over, and the stakes were divided. Her Majesty's Plate was another trophy for Rataplaa, but in the achievement of it he found no unworthy com. petitor in the young Epaminondas. The business of a large race meeting involves so many distinct, separate, and important duties, that the perfect execution of all speaks highly for the system upon which they are they are conducted. This is especially the case at Ascot, where Mr. Edward Hibburd, the clerk of the course, and the race officials who act with him, deserve particular commendation. Mr. Hibburd, the starter, Mr. Clark, the judge, and Mr. Manning, clerk of the scales, were all most diligent in their avocations, and gave the utmost satisfaction. To the police on duty must also be awarded a large measure of praise. Under the direction and vigilance of Superintendents Pearce and Hughes, Inspectors Teddy and Bray, and Serjeant Langley, the course was admir ably kept, and the strictest watch observed for this protection of the persons and property of the visitors. The meeting concluded as follows : Sweepstakes of 50 sous each, h ft, for three-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 31b. Certain penalties. Old mile. 9 subs.

Sandhurst and Adeline made the running alternately until they arrived at the distance, where Octavia took the lead, with Humboldt, Hobbyhorse, Little Tom, William Rufus, Comfit, and Grey Tommy, well laid up. At the Stand, Hobbyhorse came out and defeated Oe tavia cleverly by three-quarters of a length ; half a length between the second and third. Little Torn, Comfit, William Rufus, and Grey Tommy were well up at the finish.

Pelham and Phaeton ran in front to the turn, where the latter bolted to the left, taking Pelham with him. The lead was then left with the Kennyside Hero, who went on closely followed by Diana, and the race with the two terminated in a dead heat ; Determination a bad third. Humboldt, Hermitage, Dr. O'Toole, and Delia, passed the chair in the order named. Just as they started, Roebuck and Miss Bolton fell into the ditch by the side of the course. Both jockeys were thrown, rand Roebuck followed the other horses in. Carroll escaped injury, but little Rogers was much shaken. He was iurmediately carried to the Brick Kiln Farm, and before we left the heath we were glad to find nothing serious was to be apprehended. The accident caused quite a sensation. Before the last race of the day Diana walked over, and Mr. Howard and Mr. Saxon divided the stakes.

FLOGGING IN THE ARMY.—Yesterday, Mr. Hume 's return was published of the number of persons flogged in the army of Great Britain and Ireland in the year 1853, specifying the offence, the regiment, the place of station, the time, the sentence, and the number of lashes inflicted. The number of offences in the whole army was only 30, of which 13 offences were for insubordinate conduct, 5 for violent conduct to superiors, 9 disgraceful conduct, 1 absent without leave, and 2 making away with necessaries. In nearly all the cases 50 lashes were ordered and applied, except in two instances, when only 25 were inflicted. Only one offence occurred at Choi). ham and that was for insubordination. one he 18th of July, in the 2d battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards a sol dier was sentenced to 56 lashes, and they were inflicted. RUSSIAN PRIZES AT MALTA.--Aletter from Malta of the 7th instant states that the Russian vessels the Elchina, freighted with salt, and the Craffi Kiti freighted with linseed, which were captured off Odessa on the 19th ult. by the French frigate the Descartes and the Eng lish steamers the Retribution and the Niger, had arrived in that port under the command of two Eng Ell officers, and were about to be condemned as lawful prizes by the Admiralty Court. ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN MEN-OF-WAR IN THE PACIFIC. —A letter from Callao, dated May 11, received at Liver pool, says :—" Her Majesty's steamer, Virago, 6, ars rived on the 7th inst. from Panama, with official de- spatches to the admiral, announcing the declaration of war against Russia.
