sets and procliensareina referred to'hyllie planters in sup port of their view.: and he was hound to say that they did nbt bear out that assertion. He admitted that the laws had recognised the property of the planters in the slave , they had imported, but those laws never recognised any tech property in the offspring of those slaves. There was a dance in the Registry Act which had been relied on by the planters as recognising even the right of property in the offspring. That clause said, that the offspring shou'd have the benefits of registration as well as the parents. It was intended, therefore, to secure benefits to the children —not slavery. Where, he should like to know, was the money to-lie paid to the West India planters to come from? Was it to come from the packets of the people of Englind? Why, the people were on every hand calling out for relief from their present burdens—from the house and window duties—from the malt tax—in short, the cry throughout the country was for remission of existing taxes, and ntt for new impositions.—(Hear.) The increase of the duty on sugar was very impolitic, and would tend to limit is consumption. It was a point with him to make himselt acquainted, as minutely as possible, with the state of a i classes of society; and he knew that there was an in creasing desire amongst the labouring classes, to consume more sugar than they did—a desire which was only limited by the present high duties, and which would be effectually extinguished by the imposition of any additional tax. Meijer I3EAUCLERK regretted that he felt himself bound to vote against the proposition before the Committi for he could not help giving the greatest possible credit to his Majesty's Ministers for the manly manner in which they bad brought forward and grappled with the difficulties of this very difficult question. He could not, however, support a grant of 20,000,000/. under existing circum stances. Not that he objected to the principle of com pensation to the planters, but because they had not at pre sent arty meals of ascertaining what sum would be a fa , r compensation for their loss. If the Right Hon. Gentleman were to come down, at the expiration of a year, or fur ther definitive time, after the plan bad been commenced, and show the House what was the actual yearly loss sus tained by the planters upon the cultivation of their estates, then he would not object to give them such an amount as would prove a fair compens ition, even though that amount were to exceed 20,000,000/. He cauld not also but ob ject to ine 12 yews' apprenticeship. It appeared to him to he open to great abuse, and he much feared that when this 1111 was waited across the Atlantic, and the enforce ment of its regulations intrusted to the Houses of Assem bly, apprenticeship would prove but another name for sla very, and that the Magistrates would be to the full as severe as the planters had hitherto proved. There were two means of making the negro work, either by wages or the lash ; and if they deprived him of the latter, they would not make him work without the former. He had no doubt of the Right Hon. Secretary's conscientious belief in the prac•icibility of the plan, but he could not consent to vote away 20 millions of the public money, unless upon more detailed statements, and more distinct proof th they could at present obtain. When such should be brought before them, he would not hesitate, for he conceived it was in justice due to the planters, and to the honour of that House, to give the West India proprietors fair coin pensation.—( Hear, hear.) Lord SANDON objected to taking away the property of any man on such indefinite terms as the- prosp-ct of compensation at the distant period suggested by the Hon. and Gal:ant Alember for Surrey. It had been stated by the Hon. Member for Cambridge that twenty millions was an over-valuation. Even supposing that were the case, and that 17,500,0001. were nearer the mark, stitl he thought the difference would be well bestowed to se cure the hearty co-operation of those whose assistance was so essential to its success. But he believed the Hon. Alenitter was much mistaken, and that on a calculation, 25,000,0001. would be found to be much nearer the truth. The gicss West India produce exported annuAy by the West India colonit s was about 10,000,000/., and that consumed in the colonies about 2,400,0001. As they proposed to diminish a fourth of the labour, ti ey w. uld diminish the produce by one-fourth, and thus in exports about 2,500,0001., would be taken away from the West India proprietor-. And what did they propose to give them in exchange? Twenty millions, which at 51. per cent. would produce only 1,000,000/. per annum ; or, in another point of view, it might be considered that they were giving them only eight years' purchase. The Nubie Lord was very indistinctly beard throughout his speech ; but we understood him to repudiate the idea that the planters viewed this concession as matter of triumph and exultation, or that they would oppose themselves to the plan, fur lie knew they considered die experiment as inevitable. They certainly had asked further for a loan of 10,000,000/., and had that been granted, it would, no doubt, have secured fur the measure their more hearty and singuine co-operation; but, neverbe!ess, he doubted not they would do all in their power to give effect to the intentions of the Legislature in the settlement of this qu.stion. Mr. PRYME explained. Air. JERVIS protested against the light in which wane Hon. Members appeared to view the grant of the additional five mil ions, viz., as a sort of boon to purchase the a.sis tance and co-operation of the planters. To this he would not agree. He was assured that the people of this country I.ad not the slightest conception that this measure of eman cipation would prove so expensive, and they would li-gin to think that if they could afford to give so largely to the West India planters, they were, in the first place, entitled to a remission of some of those taxes which pressed so heavily upon them.—(Hear, hear.) When Mitaisttrs had been applied to fur a reduction of the malt tax, and for the abrogation of the house and window tax, what was their answer ?—Such a reduction, under the circumstances of the country, was impracticable. Yet the original proposition of a loan of 15,000,000/. had been changed into a gift of 20,000,0001. There might have LQen reasons, f r aught he knew, for adopting this new arrangement—reasons affecting one political party and an other political party. But there was another party who 4learreed some little consideration, namely, the people of England, They ought to look a little at the effect of the measure. Assuming the annual value of the slaves to be 2,500,000/., they were, by this measure, about to impose upon the country a perpetual charge of 1,000,000/., in order to cover a temporary charge of 2,500,000/. for ovalee yeats. The Hun. Member then alluded to the profits of mortgages, which (as we understood), in the case of a mortgage to the amount of six per cent. upon a l itroperty in the West Indies, might be fairly calCulated, in nisi opinion, at twenty-five per cent. He thought that such a state of things demanded inquiry, and he never would e,ansent to tax the people to the amount of 1,000,000/. 2 without some investigation into the circumstances of the case. . . _ Mr. STANLEY observed, that it was impossible fur bin', considering the turn which the discussion had taken, to avoid taking some notice of the arguments which had been used. There was a party who were anxious for the emancipation of the slaves, from a feeling in favour of li berty in the abstract. The arguments on the opposite aide were much of the same nature as of a person, of et convincing you of the impropriety of keeping aniniall in bondage, saying to you, " You need not sell your botses, give them to me." The resolutions which the House had already passed, had carried irrevocably the ant of the abolition of slavery; and the only point now ,PSem, whether that abolition should take place in a mariner gornatitrAt with honesty and sound policy ? It had at one time enter,d into the contemplation of Ministers to sepa rate the question of the abolition of slavery from that of the money compensation to the planters. The objec•i3n to this course of proceeding was, that the one me (sure might by possibility have been carried without the other, and it was thought desirable that the same picket which carried out to the West Indies the announcement of the abolition should also carry out the particulars of the coin pensation to which the Legislature thought the planters were justly entitled. An Hun. Member had assetted, that it the country had been aware that au addi!idnal burden of 1,000 000/. per annum would be imposed upon the people by the vote fur the abolition of slave , y, the number of petitions upon the suldect would hive been very considerably diminished. The people of England, in his (Mr. Stanley's) opinion, had acted upon far less selfish motives than bad been attributed to them. They were perfectly willing (be bad no doubt) to undergo the share of the burdens which were nentssary in order to perform a great act of justice. Ti.e money which would he ex- Fended would b e productive of great practical benefits—. would alone only be of service in preventing that effusion of blued which mutt inevitably be the ultimate result of the continuation of the present unnatural state of things in the West Indies. It had been argued that Govern ment had acted in an extravagant manner in so lemliiy altering a loan of 15,000,0001. into a grant o f 20 ,000,0001. That assertion was not perfectly correct, for the loan was to be repaid by the wages of the negroes. The ritr!stion was one of the most gigantic importance which 1c had ever had to discuss in Parliament ; and he deprecat.d the idea that the measure was merely brought forward to feel the pulse of the public. It had been forgotten that a great portion of the slaves were employed in domestic and other services not connected with the raising of sugar. He was persuaded that the House would agree with him that the saving of three, four, or five millions, w,,uld be iliPtifulletnitoniy, if by that saving any impediment were thrown in...the:way of the abolition of slavery.—(lleac. ) R. POTTER felt as great a wish as sty gentle man fur the abofitiini of colonial slavery,-but- he.c. n'd not sunsuit to purchase it at so high a price as that 'italicised • - • _ _ '''‘ =` ~~ ~-.. b the Right Hon. Gentleman. At a time when the country was so anxious and pressing for a reduction of tiles, what would be their feelings when they learned that a considerable addition must he made to their burdens, if the plan proposed was adopted ; for, in addition to the grant to the planters of the enormous sum of twenty millions, the next resolution contemplated the establish. went of stipendiary magistrate., and a police force also, for the moral and religious education of the negroes, when free. These establishments would require a considerable sum, in addition to the interest of the twenty millions, and would entail, he felt convinced, an annual expendi. ture of considerably upwards of one million. .If the original plan proposed, of granting a loan of fifteen millions, and proper security could be obtained, let the planters have the money; if net, he should prefer the abolition of slavery to be effected by an Act, declaring the children of the nrgroes, born after a period to be fixed by Parliament, free. Mr. CLAY quite agreed with the Right Hon. Gentle man, that no one who justly considered the subject had ever contemplated the possibility of emancipation without compensation to the planters. There wis one considera• tion of paramount importance, to which he begged to call the attention of the House. He was willing to give the West India planter a liberal compensation, but at the same time he demanded on the put of the people of Eng land, that the shackles of West India monopoly should be removed from them.--(Hear, hear, hear.) He had presented to the House numerous petitions from the sugar refiners, complaining of utter ruin, in copse. quence of that monopoly. Four-fifths of them were entirely out of work. Being compelled to buy sugar at a higher rate than their continental neighbour , , they were almost entirely driven out of the markets of Europe. But there was a stiil greater evil. The effect of the monopoly was to impose a tax of a million and a half on the people of England. He felt the highest admiration for the plan of his Majesty's Ministers ; but, he repeated, while he was quite ready to relieve the planter by granting him the proposed compensation, he claimed for the people of England a relief from the monopoly under which they at present laboured. Mr. BUXTON said the Right Hon. Gentleman had lsst night stated that no sum should he paid to the planters, until t'.e whole of the propcse•l regulations were carried into effect. He (Mr. Buxton) presumed that that meant until the apprenticeships had expired.—(No, no, no.) His object was, if possible, to reduce the term of those apprenticeships. There was one point upon which they must all agree, namely, that the sooner the negro mind could be brought under the action of healthy motives, the better. He was about to propose a mode, in addition to the compensation, which would induce the planters to exert themselves in order to produce that favourable ims pressiou on the negro mind. He proposed to move, as an amendment to the Right Hon. Gentleman's motion, that half the amount of the compensation should not be paid until the period of the apprenticeship of the negroes had expired, and until the negroes were put in full possession of all the rights and privileges enjoyed by all other classes of his Majesty's subjects in the colonies. He cheerfully voted for the compensation to the planters; he knew that it would be greatly to the advantage of the negroes ; but he should pay it still more cheerfully if he could ac celerate the period when the negroes would be free la bourers, and would enjoy free wages. The planter had it greatly in his power to advance or to retard the civiliza tion of the negro. If he confined the negro to free labour, there would be but little hope that more advance would take place than had occurred during the last two centu rie3 ; but if the planter chose to pursue another course, there was no doubt that he might speedily improve the negro mind. Feeling that he amendment to which he ha:l adverted would act as a powerful stimulus on the planter, he now begged leave to propose it. Mr. GODSON expressed his conviction, that if the proposed plan were adopted, instead of twelve years, one, two, or at most three years, would he the duration of the apprenticeships. Next On istnaas twelvemonth would, he thought, he their general extent. Mr. EWART expressed his entire concurrence in the opinions of the Hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets. He was quite willing to grant compensation to the planter on condition that that measure should be accompanied with a stipulation for the unrestricted liberty of commerce. Mr. R. WASON was not disposed to give the planter a shilling in the form of compensation, until it was proved that a loss had been sustained. He utterly denied the validity of the arguments urged on the subject upon a former night by the .Noble Lord and the Right Hon. Gen tleman ; and he would endeavour to prove to the Com mittee that those arguments were entirely unfounded.— (Cries of "Oh ! oh !oh !") He had a right to attention ; he insisted on attention, and unless he received it, he would adjourn the House. (The coughing and conver sation which followed prevented us from bearing the whole of any subsequent sentence.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving an amendment to the effect, " That to enable the House to carry into execution the proposed transition from a state of slavery to one of apprenticeship, such sums of money should be annually paid by his Ma j.-sty as would pay the wages intended to be given ; and that to induce the planters and those interested to coin cide in the propositions cheerfully, the duty on sugar should be reduced from 245. to 12s. per cwt., on the produce of those islands so coinciding ; and further, that the property of the country should be taxed to insure these ends."—( Question, question !) Lord ALTHORP had no doubt the opinion of the House was decidedly, that it was desirable that there should be a probationary period, and that the progress in emancipation should be made by the slaves' own exertions. It was admittd d that the slaves, and not the land, consti• tuted the more valuable portion of the planters' property; and this, in his opinion, added greatly to the obligation they were under to grant compensation.—(Hear, hear.) He certainly did not expect, upon such an occasion, to hear the Beer Bill introduced : he saw no analogy between the two questions, and should not, therefore, trouble the Hous , . , with any observations on such a point. As to the restrictions, then, on the sugar market—(Hear, bear)—it certainly was his honest opinion, that the home consump tion ought to be continued to the West India interest, but that the refiners in this country should not be prevented from refining for exportation.—(Hear, hear.) Some gentlemen seemed to view with alarm the proposed amount of compensation, and he could not deny that twenty mil lions were a very large amount; but he felt that one of the most important considerations in the settlement of such a question was, to obtain the co-operation of the West India planters—( Hear)—not so much their co operation in the work of emancipation itself, as in those after-measures —the enactment of such laws and regulations as would be necessary. There would be immense difficulty, in this country, in going into the questions of detail ; and he was sure the wisest course they could pursue would he, as they were now doing, to induce the Colonial Legislatures to enter zealously and honestly on the consideration of them. —(Hear, hear.) Ile could conceive nothing that would be more rash than that House running any hazard by which blood might be shed ; and therefore it was that Govern. went felt satisfied that the addition they proposed would not be grudged by the country.—(Hear, hear.) The refusal of the House to agree to the proposition, he should eertainly look upon as of a most fatal character. Sure he Was, that their constituents would cheerfully approve of their voting in favour of the compensation, when it was to attain an object which they had so long and anxiously desired. Lord HOWICK rose, amidst the loudest expressions of impatience, mixed with cries of " Oh, oh." His Lord ship was understood to say, that, although deeply sensible of the present state of the finances of the country, and although he believed with better management the demands of the planters would he greatly reduced, he w.s not pre pared to vote against the motion. On so large a sum, however, more pains should have been taken to secure greater advantages.—(Question, question ) Sir R. INGLIS cordially supported the Ministerial pro position, and would most willingly bear his share of the necessary burden. • Mr. W. WHITMORE would vote for the motion, on the distinct understanding that the two questions, as to the duties on sugar, and the refining of sugar, should be considered open questions.—(Hear; Divide, divide !) Colonel EVANS, amidst great noise and confusion, said, that the country would view the proposition about the twenty millions with much more satisfaction, if pre parat iry measures had been adopted in the way of exten • sive reduction in the national expenditure. Such a sum as twenty millions, under present circumstances, was p r fectly preposterous. The Hon. and Gallant Member was about to conclude with moving an amendment, when the Chairman, in an under tone, suggested some informality, which induced him to postpone for the moment, urging it upon the adoption of the Committee. Mr. PEASE said in his judgment the House could not, with any propriety, agree to any plan of compensa ion until the peat measure of abolition was carri,d into effect. If they thin agreed to compensation in the first instance, all the money would go into the band• of the mortgagees, and those who were the owners of slaves would derive no advantage from the arrangement. Mr. BARING then rose to address the House amidst loud crits of " Question," with every mani'estatiqn of impatience. For some time after he get up, it was iin possl 'tile to catch a single word, though the Hon. Member 'iteemed to speak with emphasis, and used much g stiettla tivil all the time, turning his back upon the Cri ' and addressing his observations to the Members behind the bench on which he himself usually sits. Silence and order having been for a few moments established, he ad vanced to the table and addressed the Chair against the resolution, but was frequently interrupted by loud bursts of laughter. Amongst other observations adverse to the motion, he said the House was often perfectly patient under the most lengthened arguments on the most trum pery salaries, and therefore he thought it was scarcely becoming in the House to manifest impatience when a sum of 20,000,0001. was at stake. He could not help complaining that the promoters of the measure had not condescended to inform them in what manner the money thus amounting to 20,000,0001. was to be raised, or how distributed. He acknowledged he had not heard any part of the previous debate, and therefore he should be glad to hear some explanation of the mode in which the acquire ment of that money was to be effected, and when obtained, how it was to be dispos'ed of.—(Laughter.) Hon. Mem bers might laugh, but he would contend that the matter under consideration was very serious. The present reso lution imposed upon the House and the country a very weighty obligation ; and what he wanted to know was, how that obligation was to be fulfilled. He must protest against that mode of voting away the public money, and without any information from the Government as to the mode in which it was to be raised or distributed.—(A laugh.) The Right Hon. Gentleman might have mad, his peace with the delegates of the West India interest, but with that he (Mr. B.) had nothing to do with any one but his constituents.—( Hear. hear, and laughter.) Mr. Secretary STANLEY said that he entertained great respect for the Hon. Member for Essex, but he entertained still higher respect for the House, and was anxious to s lee its time. It had then been sitting from 6 till 12 ; and though the Hon. Member for Essex might have been very agreeably employed—more agree ably than in listening to debates in that House—yet per haps it would have been more becoming in him to address himself to the matter really under consideration, than to treat it with such indecent levity. The Hon. Gentlem in hid told them that he wanted to know the arguments by which the promoters of the measure had supported their views : if he did feel such an anxiety upon the subject, he had much better have attended in his place, aed have listened to the statements and observations made on that side of the House. He was sure the House would not consent that those arguments should again be gone over, even if any one were disposed to indulge him with their repetition. In the course of to-morrow, the greater part of their constituents would be made aware of all that hail taken place that night upon the question before the House ; and he really must he allowed to refer the Hon. Gentleman to the same channels of information throueh which the country at large was usually made acquainted with what took place in that House.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Essex seemed to apprehend the worst conse quences from the proposed measure. Now he (Mr. S.) would ask him, was he serious in supposing that the granting or the denial of compensation would tend the one to tranquillise, and the other to disturb and excite the moneyed, mercantile and commercial portions of the community? As to the Colonial L.gislatures, he had only to observe, that no act would be done—no step taken, without giving them an opportunity of expressing their sentiments. Mr. BRISCOE rose amidst loud cries of "Question." He objected to more than fifteen millions being granted, indeed he thought eight or nine would be sufficient for the purpose.—(Cries of " Question, question.") At the same time be begged it to be understood that he was the advocate of a fur and liberal comperisation. - . . The Committee then divided— For the resolution 277 For the amendment 142 Majority —135 On Mr. WASON'S amendment a d►vision took place, ;he result of which we understood to be—. Against the amendment In its favour 2l I\Ljority -362 It was understool that a division toi,k place on Colonel EVANS'S amendment, when the numbers w> re—. Against 316 In its favour Majority -324 Mr. BRISCOE nauved an amendment, that the words " Fifteen Millions" be substituted for "Twenty Million." On this amendment a division took place, when the numbers were— Against the amendment 304 In its favour Majority -248 _ The Committee divided a4aiii on the original resolution— For it 296 Against it 77 Majority in favour of the resolution-209 - Having been re-admitted in the gallery, we yarned that Mr. STANLEY had been urging the necessity of coining to a vote immediately on the sth and last resolution, on the ground that the Government Packet to the West Indies had been delayed a fortnight in order to carry the ultimate decision of Parliament upon the whole of the Rt • dutions. The sth resolution was then put, to the effect, " That upon the recommendition of the Locil Legislatures, his Maje•ty will recommend to Parliament to grant out of the Revenues of this country such aid as may be deemed neces_ sary for the due support of the administration of justice, of an efficient police establishment, and of a general system of religious and moral education." Alter a few words from Mr. STANLEY, Mr. A BAs,• INO, an :I Mr. CURTEIS, Mr. BUXTON suggested the addition of the words "on liberal and comprehensive principles." Mr. STANLEY said, as it was his wish that there should be nothing exclusive in the system of education about to he adopted, there could be no objection to the Hon. Member's suzgestion. Mr. R. WASON then moved, that whatever expenses be incurred by those resolutions be defrayed by a property tax in this country. The amendment was negatived without a division, and the resolution, as verbsily amended, was agreed to, The House then resumed, and the report on the resilu tions was ordered to be brought up to-morrow (this day). ANNUITIES. Lord ALTHORP moved, That the Act of the 10th of George IV. be read, and that the House do resolve itself into Committee on said A;t." The House then went into Gimmittee, when the fol lowing resolution was passed—" That the Commissioners fur the reduction of the National Dent be authorized to employ any part of the money issued to them for the re duction of the national debt for the purchase of the revers sion of perpetual and redeemable annuities." The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a quarter-past two o'clock. LIST OF THE MINORITY OF FORTY-TWO, WHO VOTED FOR THE AMENDMENT ORIGINALLY MOVED BY MR.

A letter was in her pocket, and the contents, as far as they could be deciphered, were as follow : —" 13, 13 irtlett's-buildings. JOHN Gonwnr—To you I owe this end. GOD bless you, send to my father, your's in death, M. A. EDWARDS.— P.S. Retnember the happy days we have spent together, and contemplate the end you have been the cause of.

She was a married woman, but her husband was at New York, and he had heard he had married again. She had no domestic differences, nor anything to agi'ate her mind, but her acquaintance with Mr. GonwiN. It appeared that a young man was at the Bricklayers Arms, Islington, on Wednesday evening, with the deceased, who cried very much, and dictated something which her companion wrote. A well-dressed young man, who stated his name to be GODWIN, and who had frequently interrupted the proceed ings, deposed—that he h : d known the dec - eased three years, that she visited him and his wife; that she was mush distressed in mind, that her husband was a worth less fellow, that she had frequently attempted to commit suicide, and that she left him and his wife on Wednesday evening in consequence of a coolness between her and Itirii..Geowls.

One of the grand attractions of the morning at the Duke and Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAND'S fete to their MAJESTIES on Monday, was the new Grecian Con servatory, rivalling the celebrated one erected by the late Earl of SHREWSBURY, at Alton Abbey, which liai been constructed at the suggestion of the present Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAND, in the midst of a beautiful artificial glen, at the distance of a quarter of a mile from the house, surrounded by, as well as containing, some of the finest exotics in the kingdom,, and adorned with a large white marble tank and fountain, similar to those of Oriental palaces. This most attractive spot was immediately visited by their MAJESTIES and the Princesses. One of the most eventful expeditions which ever .irose troll the maritime enterpi ise of this country, was that executed, by command of the Lords of the Ad miralty, by Captain OwEN, on the shores of Africa, Ara bia, and Madagascar. The information acquired by the different ships and exploring parties under the Captain's orders, are not only excessively irreresting in themselves, but form additions of great importance to our geographical and commercial knowledge. Though these were pro cured by a vast expense of life among the zealous and courageous persons engaged, yet the ardour of research in the deadly and unknown regions still continued in the survivors, whose narrative has probably never been ex ceeded in the fixing nature of its incidents and general details. The volumes will soon appear. RAPE NEAR AIRDRIE.—As a man and his wife were returning late on Saturday evening from Airdrie, whither they had gone to make some purchases tor the family, they were attacked by two villains, who, in consequence of a preconcerted scheme, assumed the authority of constables, and dragged the husband towards the gaol. The poor woman, meanwhile, alarmed about her children, was venturing home alone, assured that her husband would soon return, when other four accom plices in the plot offered to escort her homewards, which the unfortunate woman, anxious to get home, did not refuse. The road, which • the designing villains pre tended to be the nearest to her residence at the Kipps, lay through an extensive plantation, where, in spite of the struggles of the poor woman, the monsters succeeded in committing the most beastly outrages upon her person. The husband, being left soon by the two who •hatl cap. ed hethrge' but found not his wife. Ap disastrous having taken pace, p tu r r e e h d ei l i r s i i m ve , ( r ) e f tu s r o i na l be, with one of his neighbours, rushed out in search of his wife; and, about three o'clock on Sabbath morning, found her at the side of the planting, with her clothes all torn, and limbs scratched and wounded. The perpetra tors of this cruel deed are all known, and it is expected that they. will soon be brought to. jostice,--.- Glaogow Chronicle, Town Commissions Opened. - 643 -74 U VIOLENT HURRICANE-ACCIDENTS ON THE RIVER. Early yesterday morning it commenced blowing a severe gale from the S.W., which increased towards the middle of the day to a perfect hurricane, such as was never be fore remembered in the month of June. In all parts of the metropolis trees and chimney-pots were blown down and several accidents rook place. About three o'clock in the afternoon a peter-boat, containing a fisherman and a boy, was blown over between Gravesend and London, when both perished. About six in the evening four young gentlemen belonging to Westminster School were wailing up the river, near Lambeth-stairs, in a small boat, when a sudden gust of wind capsized the boat, and they were all immersed in the stream. Three of them swam towards the shore, and were picked up by the watermen, who instantly put off to their assistance. Nearly a quarter of an hour elapsed before the fourth, a pro mising youth, named WaseEtt, the son of the Dean of RIPON, was taken out of the water by means of the drags. He was instantly taken ashore to a public house opposite Lambeth church, but all attempts to re store animation proved fruitlss. Great damage was done on the river. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Yesterday morning, during one of the excessively vio lent gusts of wind with which the metropolis was visited, particularly the west-end, a poor woman named Francis, living in Church-street Portm in-market, was proceeding along the bank of the Paddington Canal, carrying her husband's dinner to the place whare he was at work, when the wind suddenly caught her clothes with such force as to urge her with great precipitancy down the shelving bank into the water, where she would have inevitably been drowned but for the assistance of Thomas Reynolds, a Manchester boatman, who came in sight as she was strug gling in the water, and got her out. She was in a state of insensibility, and in the agony of drowning had drawn her bonnet entirely over her face. She received proper assistance, and in a short time was sufficiently recovered to he conveyed horse to her family. About the same time a new shop front, at the house of Mr. Morrison, the corner of Northumberland-street and Paddington -street, Maryle hone, was blown with great violence into the street, the panes of glass flying aboir in all directions, and the whole being completely smashed to pieces.

The grand long-contemplated sai•ing match amongst three of the best heavy class sailing yachts on the River, came off yesterday, and afforded both a treat and disap pointment to the admirers of river sports. The list p re . sented the following : Names. Tons. Owners. Where of. Sabrina 2l Mr. Gunston Lady Louisa 16 Mr. Smith Victorine The match had been looked for with intense interest by the patrons of river sports, who had sported their money freely on the respective yachts. The Lady had been recently beat by the Sabrina, but the admirers of the former, attrinuted the defeat to the Louisa having carried too much ballast, and backed their opinion to a considerable tune, that the Lady could beat Sabrina in any wind or any weather. The Vic torine had been one beaten by her Ladyship, hut owl) , there were who unhesitatingly declared that she only wanted a stiff breeze and the Louisa would never be able to overhaul her. The match was pounds for tonnage, and of course the owner of the heaviest boat bad most at stake. There was no lack of wind yesterday, but unfortu. nately for those who had their money on the match there was too much. The wind blew "great guns" indeed, and immediately after the yachts being po,itioned, they had three or four reefs in. They took their stations off Green wich Hospital at a quarter to 12, and the Louisa, as is her usual custom, went off a-head, but all were in trim at nearly the same time. The Sabrina, however, passed her to windward near Blackwell Point, and all the trio buffeted the gale beautifully. The Sabrina maintained her advantage and rounded the flag. boat at Gravesend first, the Victorine was second, and the Lady third ; but there was not more than six minutes elapsed from the first to the last. On their return the wind was terrific. The Louisa never showed head, and each either went aground, carried away part of her rigging, or was water-logged. The Cinnmo dare's boat (the Oberon), a forty-ton boat, was driven on shore, and the gentlemen on board her, who had been up to their knees in water for a considerable time, obliged to leave her and find their way from the Halfway-house minus a conveyance to Greenwich. To recount the " moving accidents" that befel the crews would be impos sible, and at half-past eight o'clock at night the Victorine made her appearance at Greenwich Whether she has won is a matter of doubt, and the question will be decided on the next Club night of the T. R. Y. C. ARRIVAL OF LIEUT.
