LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE MILO This bankrupt was a tallow chandler, at Kingsland, and this was a meeting for la,t examination and discharge. Mr. Harwood appeared for the assignee, and Mr. T. Beard for the bankrupt, but an adjournment for a month was taken by consent. The debts are stated at about £9OO assets £3 IN RE HUTCHINSON..-A COOL DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY This bankrupt was a farmer. Mr. It, ed opposed. The bankrupt had been adjudged on several occasions to account for p•operty alleged to b, worth £1,200. The bankrupt had assigned the property— a farm--to a person named Golding, in trust, first, for Golding to ply himself .a debt alleged to be due to him. then to hold it in tru-t for the bankrupT, and after wardA to his wile tor life, and then for his children, without even the consolati,n of a remainder for the creditors. Golding became bankrupt, and claimed the properly, wh:ch, however, he alleged he had made over to a Mr. Graham, an uncle of the bankrupt, a, el the bankrupt was left and still continues in possession. The case had been adjourned from time to time for the bankrupt to produce Golding and Grahora. Mr. 11 , -ect now pressed for an adjournment sine die to prevent the assignees from being harassed by these frequent applications. His Honour allowed the bankrupt to pass his last Exa mination, tut adjourned the order for dis:harge pending further inquiries as to the property. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) KEILEY V. HUTCHINS. This was an action to recover damages for the alleged wro:igful conversion of a certain valuable dog, the property of the plaintiff, who was represented by Mr. 0. B. C. Harrison. The facts of the case appear to be, that on the 31st May last, defendant was walking across Tower hill with a police-sergeant, when a dog followed him, It had a collar round its neck, but no name was on such collar. The officer said that the dog was evidently a valu able one, and he advised defendant not to part with it lightly. About a fortnight after this, pltintiff's son saw the dog in Abchut ch-lane, and attempted to take it. He was referred by the defendant to the police station, but some unpleasantness subsequently arose, and then defendant insisted upon plain tiff's proving his right to the dog. Since the last hearing the animal has been given up, and to-day Mr. Harrison applied for costs. His Honour wa, of opinion that defendant had been treated hershly in this case. He was a respectable man, and had been in one situation twenty years. He had communicated with the police in reference to this dog, and plaintiff should have gone quietly and properly to work to obtain possession of it. Great stress had been laid upon the fact that def, n dant had once turned the dog adrift, but he had an un doubted right to do so, and was not bound to keep it. Therefore the verdict will bo for defendant with costs. HITDDLESTON V. ALLSOPP AND OTHERS. This was an action to recover £l5 ccrnmission on the sale of 300 barrels of ale, Mr. Hubert Wood, of Coleman street-buildings, appearing for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Serle being counsel for defendants, who are the well-known ale b^ewers of Burton and London. The short facts of the case were, that plaintiff had intro duced a customer for 300 barre:s of ale, and he deposed that he had been promised commission; but Mr. Forster (de- fendants' town manager) directly contradicted plaintiff, and further stated that it wa3 not customary to pay commission. The jury, after a brief deliberation, found for defendants, POLICE INTELLIGENCE This Day. BOW-STREET. Mr. John Marter, a writing-master, of 485, New Oxford street, appeared to answer a summons charging him with improper behaviour towards one of his pupils, a young ser vant girl, named Ann Shergold. From the evidence of the prosecutrix, she stated that she attended on the Bth of July for the purpose of taking lessons in writing, and alter she had been there some time Mr. Marter came clo-e to her, kissed her three times, and afterwards conducted himself in such a highly in delicate manner, that she qui ted the house. There was another pupil in the adjoining room, but as she left she made no other remark to her than she should not come there any more. On returning to the lady in whose service she was then living, she told her she was glad to get from Mr. Mailer's house. The next morning, her mistress, Mrs. Ellis, on learning the facts of the case, directed her to inform her brother of thesonduct of Mr. Marter, and the result was that the present proceedings were instituted against him, and Mr. West attended on the part of the So ciety for the Protection of Women. Mr. Hope, who appeared for the defendant, put several questions to prosecutrix, but her answers were all given with the greatest modesty, and she persisted in the state ment she had made when she was first examined. He was pressing some questions, when Mr. Hall said it was a very delicate thing to att 'mpt to insinuate anything against the character of a female. Mr. Hope quite agreed in that, but then it was a very serious charge against his client. He had a perfect right to know the antecedents of the young woman. He frankly admitted that he knew nothing against her. Mr. Hall said he thought it doubtful whether Mr. Hope would serve his client it he persisted in putting questions to the witness such as he w then doing. Mr. Hope then abstained from pressing the questions, and proceeded with his cross-examination—The defendant asked her if she had a young man. She said "Yes." He asked her his name. He then told her to write "My dear George," as one of her exercises. She did not tell the young woman who was in the adjoining room that der young man was paying for her writing lessons, as he had refused to marry her until she was better educated. She paid for the lessons herself out of her own earnings. Mr. Hall—Supposing the young man had offered to pay for her lessons, there was nothing wrong in that. On the contrary, it was highly creditable to him, and no; discredit. able to the witness. Cross-examination continued—She had been in service ever since she was ten rears old. Mr. Hall informed Mr. Hope that Dr. Ellis, the girl's master, was in attendance, and he would now answer any questions respecting her. He has already given her a very high character. For the detence, a young man, pupil of Mr. Marter's said he was in the adjoining room on the evening in qut-s -tion, but never saw or heard anything of the matter corn - plained of. Miss Johnson, also a pupil of Mr. Marter's, was present on the evening hi question, but thin she said she was sit ting with her back to the door, so she could not see into the inner room, in which complainant was taking her lesson. She did not hear any conversation going on in the room. There certainly was no disturbance. Mr. Hall said the evidence would be of some use if the prosecutiix had made any noise, but she distinctly states that she was too much alarmed for that. Witness proceeded—She saw Miss Shergold as she left. She heard her make some remark, but she could not recol lect what. Mr. Hall said he should send the case for trial, but he would admit the defendant to bail on his entering into his own recognisance tor £IOO, and two substantial securities in the sum of £75 each. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A. LADY'S-MAID CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.—A BAD CASE.—Elizabeth Wellz,-;stine was charged with stealing several articles, the property of her master, Mr. W. T. Fraser, 9, Berkeley-street, .Berke►ey-square. Mr. Graham, Carlton-chambers, prosecuted. From the evidence of Mr, Frassr it appeared that the prisoner was in his service as lady's-maid to his wife, and that for some time past various articles had been missed. As the prisoner, who was about to leave at the end of the month, had sent away a box by the footman, he (Mr. Fraser) asked her where she had sent to, and she said that she had lent it to a friend who wanted a box. He then consulted the police, and the officer employed (Butcher, 137 C) succeeded in tracing the box, which Was packed with the following articles:—Three bottles of sherry, t.ne of brandy, one of champagne, and one of hock, a bottle of sauce, 12 towels, TM number of pocket handkerchiois (one belonging tct a friend who had been staying with him ) , a tablecloth, &c 3 • But - ehet,l37 0, said on asking the prisoner where she sent the box to, she at first said she had given it to a poor German woman living at 22, Elizabeth-street, P.m lico, but oa his telling bar that he believed it had gone somewhere else, she admitted that it was at 2, South street, Grosreaor-square. He then took the prisoner there in gab, and on getting to the house the servant girl (the prisoner having shaken her head in a significant utitnr,r) at once said there was no box there, but on going upstairs he found the box on the landing, and the prisoner owned it was the ono she had left there, at the same time declaring that there was nothing in it but what belonged to herself. He told her she must go with him to the station, and she said " Very well.' At the station she gave hint the key of the box, and he found the articles produced (tlv2se mentioned by Nr. Fraser) in it. On being searched 16 dublicates were found in her possession. She said the arti• t.:les in the b.:a. were given to her by the butler; but the butler denied this. Mr. Graham asked for a remand, Butcher stating that he believed the duplicates, relating to all sorts of property, and pledged in e iffarent names, wore connected with other robberies. The prisoner was remanded. A DOUBTFUL CHARGE Or ROBBERY.—A smartly attired young unfortunate, named Mary Anu Bourue, was charge before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing six £5 Bank of England notes from the person of Mr. P. Stewart, saddler, No. 3, Great Ryder-street, in a brothel in Union-street. On the accused being placed at the bar, Inspector Draper informed the magistrate that the person charging the young woman was not in attendance. Mr. Tyrwhitt 6 . w:a if theta was anything more discovered of tha robbery the young woman c urld b 3 given into custody again. The accused said she was innocent, and that she should immediately consult a solicitor, with the view of seeking re dress for having been locked up improperly. She was then discharged. WESI MINSTER. ROBBERY AT THE LONDON, CRATRAM, AND DOTER RATLWAY.—George LockyeT, alias Cameron, wan charged with stealing a great quantity of lead forming a cistern, from part of the premises belonging to the London, Dover, and Chatham Railway Company. Police constable Simons, 160 B, said that at half-past nine last night he was near the London, Chatham, and Dover railway terminus, at Pimlico, when he saw the prisoner coming out of a house with something large on his shoulders, wrapped in a coat. He stopped him and found it was lead. He then asked him what he was going to do with it, when he replied " Plant it,' Witness slid h, must come bacl With him and he would "plant it" for him ; upon which prisoner refused to return, and assaulted him, but was secured On searching him two large knivts were found in his possession. Mr. Alf: ed H ancock, inspector of the company, living on the premises, i_roced that the 1 ad in question had been taken trim there, Ic was not old material but was a cistern t. et in lead for use, and perfect the night before. It had beer since found cut down and the lead carried off. Mr. Self° inquired what was knuwn of the prisoner. A police detective said he had been apprehended on the 11th of February, and committed for six weeks hard labour, for a siwil r offence to the present.

HOTEL SCENE IN NEW YORK.—The colonel came in with his regimental paymaster, and called Out to the clerk, " Here, you Sir I" " I am here," civilly re sponded the clerk. " Just hand over de money dat belongs to Mir regiment in your safe; we are off to Washington dis afternoon." " There is your bill, colonel," said the clerk, putting before him an official-looking piece of paper. "J'am de pill; tam all pills," said the officer, not even deigning to I.ok at the amount. He and his staff had held high carnival with their friends for several days at his hotel ; the bill for dinners, champagne, &c., amounted to some £3OO. You must pay this, colonel, or allow me to take the amount from the regimental funds, or I cannot re turn your money.' I decline to report the reply of the colonel. Being interpreted, it was an assurance to the clerk that he would not " bay de pill ;" that he would sea the clerk in the centre of the most tropical region of the next world before he would bay de pill; that the Government might bay de pill, or go to the same no latitude. The clerk remained firm under this torrent of Uerman-American- Englieh. The colonel, in his rage, sent the paymaster for the sentries at the door, and ordered them to charge upon the clerk, and compel him to deliver the funds. The clerk took a revolver from the desk before him. " There are four of you," he said ; " there are six bullets here. Who wants the first one ?" He iixei his eye on the colonel, and it looked as though it would bore a hole through him, without the bullet. " Fetter bay de pill," whispered the paymaster to the colonel. The bul:y in the colonel was cowed, and the paymaster saw that he might act. "lam de one to bay pit's," said he. An amicable surrender of the funds, minus the amount of the bill, was coon effected, the clerk keeping his revolver in convenient proximity during the transaction. The colonel and his men withdrew, and the clerk called out cheerfully, " Here's the key, Grierson. You can have your baggage up, and the chambermaid will do up the room while you are at dinner. I can't answer for the way in which the pigs have left the premises." Jeremiah took the key. "Dowe go up on the live stock dumb-waiter ?" he asked. "Oh no, that got out of order in a week; everyliody goes up the natural way." " That's nr,:an. It was part of the attraction here that we were all to levitate." "Part of the advertisement you should say. You surely ain't so green as to think we'd keep the thing up, after the house was tilled," "Well, you ought to be a colonel anyhow, f or th e W a y y o u umagect to get that bill paid." " Not colonel of a regiment oi deritn blackguards, hope," said the clerk, turning to some new comers, .4.k6 It nothing particular had happened.--111 the Year Round. M. Alexandre Dumas, jun., is writing quite a new style of piece, taken from the mystical career of Count Cagliostro, the:mainspring of which is said to be the representation of the prodigies attributed to that arch sorcerer.

THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL AND THE HOME SECRE TARY.—Yesterday morning, in the Commons, there was considerable difficulty in constituting "a house," and it war, half-past 12 before the requisite 40 members could be got together to enable the Speaker to take the chair. At about 20 minutes past 12 Sir Roundell Palmer, the Solici tor-General, suddenly rose and • made towards the door, through which the Sergeant-at-Arms allowed him to pass, in violation of the standing order, which provides that wh€n once in the chamber a member must not leave until "a house" is made. No sooner had the learned gentleman passed through the glass door, when he was met by one of the officials outside, who sternly sent him back to the Mini sterial benches amidst the titters of those who were already prisoners. A minute or two after this Sir G. Grey, appa rently re membering an engagement, and not having noticed what had just occurred, made off in a hurried way towards the door, the Serge a n t-at- A r ms by this time having left the house. But the Home Secretary fared no better than the Solicitor-G,neial.

The Earl of MALMESBURY called attention to the late fatal accident that occurred at Birmingham to an unfor tunate person called a " Female Blondin," who met with her death by being precipitated to the ground whilst performing on a rope fixed at a great altitude. Alter the accident the greatest indifference was exhibited by the people, and the committee having direction of the fete allowed the sports to go on, notwithstanding the terrible accident. He wished to know whether the Government had not some power by which a stop could be put to these highly dangerous exhibitions? Earl GRA.NVILLE said he quite agreed with the noble earl as to the danger of such exhibitions, which he thought could only be enjoyed by those of the most morbid appetite. They had, however, now gone on for some time, and had hoped that public opinion would have discourage such performances, but such was not the case. With respect to the particular case now before them, it would be better to wait until the termination of the coroner's inquest before the matter was fully inquired into. The Government had no power to put a stop to such exh 4 - bitions. All they could do was to write letters to the managers or lessees of places where they were understood to be performed, warning them of the extreme danger of such exhibitions, and informing them, at the same time, that they exposed themselves to all the legal responsibilities in the event of accidents. In the metropolis that latter had been attended to, but the same feeling did not seem to pervade tile provinces. He believed the great attrac tions of the exhibitions was the extreme danger of the per formance, and the same remark might apply to foxhunting. He had hoped that the goed sense of the public would have led to the cessation of the performances, and he regretted it had not done so. . _ _ The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said that the extreme interest that attached to these exhibitions was the tremen dous dsng , -r to which the performers exposed themselves. He believed that if the same exhibitions were to be given on a rope three or four feet from the ground, with plenty of sawdust underneath, not five people would go to see it. The most effectual means for its extinction would be to press, and he felt extremely gratified that the conductors of it had taken the matter in hand. It was greatly to be hoped that before long a more refined taste would prevail, which would lead the multitude to have a greater regard for the lives and limbs of their fellow- subjects. The subject then dropped. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Scottish North Etstern and Dundee and Arbroath Railways Amalgamation Bill was read a third time and passed. REMOVAL OF PRISONERS (SCOTLAD) BILL.

The SPEAKER took the c. hair at twenty-five m i nu tes past ,welve. DENMARK AND G:fltA llislY. Mr. S. FITZGErt,ALD said he IT un willing the session to come to a close without some endeavouringto obtain from her Majesty's Governmentent condition of ex planation with refer: to the present matters between the German Confederation and the King dom of Denmark. The Consolidated Fun d (Appropriation) Bill Bill made ample provision diplomaticfortathnet places service involved, Frank y' country, and, among st importan t a principal place. H e fort and Copenhage n regretted that while t he friendly relations between oth er Powers appeared to be only strengthened, those between the Germanic Confederation and the Government appeared to be embittered. He considered that the federal occupa tion of Holstein would be most menacing to Europe, if resisted it. He thought it would be important Denmark what steps her Majesty's Government would take co know under the circumstances. Lord PALMERSTON said this was one of the most complicated subjects that ever engaged the attention of statesmen in Europe. He should not enter into details of what was called the Schleswig-Holstein affair, which was involved in the utmost obscurity of former times. The German advocates referred back to 1640 as the ground on which they maintained strict relations between Schleswig and Holstein than those admitted by Denmark or any other Powers. He entirely agreed with the hon. gentleman (Mr. Fitzgerald) that it was a matter of British policy to maintain the independence and integrity of the Danish monarchy. It was not a large one, but it had its rights as well as larger States, and its geographical position rendered it the more important to this country that these rights should be secured. The position the Government had always held was, that Holstein was a member of the German Con federation, and that that Confederation had a control over the affairs of Holstein as it had over other members of the Germanic Confederation, and that any arrangement made by the King of Denmark, opposed to this fundamental rule, was not justifiable. But they held that, with regard to Schleswig, the German Confederation had no control, and the Germanic Confederation had no more right to prescribe rules for it than Spain, Portugal, England, Russia, or any other separate and independent State. They hell that Schleswig was a matter of European arrangement. But still there were many Germans there, and the Government hell that the German Confederation had a right to represent, if ' such a case existed, that the German inhabitants were not placed upon an equal footing with the subjects of Denmark. Such matters ought not, however, under any circumstances, to justify an appeal to arms. (Hear, hear) As to Holstein, the last stage only was that which was worthy of considera tion, and that arose out of the patent issued by the King of Denmark in March last. He did not know what step the German Confederation intended to take on the matter but he remembered that an anecdote of Talleyrand, who when he desired that the Germanic Confederation should not take a certain step which he considered might be injurious to France, recommended them not to proceed with inconside rate haste. Now precipitation was not a characteristic of the Germanic Confederation, but he was sure that their good sense would prevent them from taking a step which would be damaging to the peace of Europe, for if a war broke out there, it must extend further, and in volve many other states in its disastrous consequences. As to the policy and course of the Government as to these disputes, he might say that ti,e Government were desirous that the rights of Denmark should be maintained, and that if any attempt were made to overthrow those rights they should be resisted. He trusted, ho *ever, that these matters would be subject for negotiation and not for war. Every effort should be made by her Majesty's Government to induce the parties to include all disputes within the limits of diplomatic intercourse. (Hear, hear.) He had no doubt those efforts would be suc ce,sful, and he had no apprehensions of either immediate or remote danger. (Cheers.) THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA.— PRIVATEERING. Mr. COBDEN called a th tt e ention to the exploits of the it O nh r ge e tdow, Japan,e a t i a u s ap the loina s tthhee Florida,provisions rvgi na ; A oTf labama, alias the 290, and The hon. gentleman hay- Act, and to the attacks which the above -named Foreign n d vessels had remarked vesselthe merchandisewhwhich w es o f ee a p power, t f u r r i ei d b i-y yt hem was taken b In compensation on madethat every upon n v o al t u e e of ef by th t e h v e e A ss m els eri s c e a i n zed Go w v e e r r e nm ta e k n e t i; e d n sat theseio depositionall cases the oath, and in all cases a claim was made for y on this country. The Government always rzsistpe claims, but that was the most serious part of the matter, and he contended that i n such ca ses every man ought to constitute himself a detective policeman in order that these proceedings might be frowned down. By every feeling of reciprocity towards the American people we ought to strive to put down these illegal practices. H e thought these was every claim upon the Government to prevent these armed vessels from leaving thesa shores. On This point he constantly saw fallacies running through the speeches of Earl Russell and the Solicitor-General, for they constantly confound two things, the evidence necessary to detain a vessel, and the evidence necessary toconvict. In one case a Confederate vessel went out with a pic-nic party; that was a most deceptive act and the Government might have prevented it by putting a Custom-house officer on board, He hoped that by no technical evasion another vessel for Confederate purposes would be allowed to escape from these shores. The terrors of the civil war in Ame rica were frightful, but he hoped they would not be ex tended by any connection with it on our part. All he asked for was neutrality. (Cheers.) Whatever might be the issne of this dreadful war, let England keep clear of it. His voice would be mute, and what he asked was that Eng land should be silent and sorrowful until this dreadful civil war was over. Mr. LAIRD denied that the Alabama went out of Liverpool in an improper way. Mr. COBDEN said he quoted Lord Russell. Mr. LAIRD said he was not responsible for what Lord Russell said. She went out of dock in the broad daylight. Mr. COBDEN—Did she take a clearancs ? Mr. LAIRD—She did not require a clearance. Lord J. MANNERS complained of the conduct of the Foreign Office in excluding Turkey from the proposed con ference to whom is to be referred the cession of the lonian. Islands to Greece. He should like to know whether Turkey had made any demand to be admitted to the Conference. fie considered that the cession of the lonian Islands was the most impolitic, uncalled for, prejudicial Act ever com mitted. Mr. C. BENTINCK inquired whether the opinion of the Conference would be taken before the meeting of the lonian Parliament ? Lord PALMERSTON said he had listened with great attention to the hon. gentleman (Mr. Cobden), but it appeared to him that he and her Majesty's Government, and he thought the country at large, started on the consi deration of the matter from a different point. He (the noble lord) looked upon the two parties as in arms against each other, and as such, belligerents, and therefore entitled to all the rights and privileges of belligerents. That which was running in the head of the hon. gentleman, and which guided his reasoning, as well as his feeling, was that the Union was in legal existence, that there were not two belli gerents, but a legitimate Government, and a rebellion against that Government. Now, what was the duty of a neutral with regard to two belligerents ? The American Government had laid it down for themselves, for they had laid it down that a neutral might supply a belligerent with ships, arms, ammunition, or anything else, although they might be important ingredients in naval and military operations. The hon. gentleman complained that her Majesty's Government had not taken proper steps in this matter, but had rested upon information derived from the American Minister. He could assure the hon. gen tleman that that was not the case, and he believed that the hon. gentleman and the Federal Government were not en- tided to say that the Government had omitted to do anything by law they could do in reference to this matter. At the same time he thought this country ought to enforce its law in these matters as stringently as possible. With regard to the ques tion of the noble lord (Lord j.lvlanners)he said the Sultan was not an acceding party to the protectorate. A treaty would be signed by the Powers before the meeting of the lonian Pax liament. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. AUGMENTATION OF BENEFICES BILL. This bill, with some modifications, passed through com mittee. The Rum Duty, the Clergyman (Colonies), the Super annuation (Union Officers), and the Alterations in Judges Circuits Bills passed.through committee. The Colonial Acts Confirmation Bill was read a third time and passed. The sitting was then suspended. At six o'clock the house resumed, and was (LEFT SITTING.) Proposed Street Improvements in the City. A somewhat ambitious project has been submitted to the Corporation of London by Mr. Greenhill, the engineer, which, if carried into effect, would produce as great a change as can well be conceived in the sireets, levels, and architecture of all the leading thorough fares in the west ern part of the city. W i When we state that it proposes to obvi a t e the necessity for a viaduct over Ludgate-hill, to make the hill itself almost level, to ro ll the two intend e d b r id ges at Blackiriars into one, to carry an underg roun d railway along the line of New Bridge-street and Farringdon street, and to raise Holborn valley nearly to th e l eve l o f Newgate-street, probably enough will have b een sa i d to en title the scheme to consideration at least, if it were only for its novelty, and still more for its daring, i nasmuc h as it implies the destruction o f the wh o l e o f the existing h ouse s on each side of Farringdon and Bridge street, and probablyv,:th theoergrresepaetenrapinargt changesof those o tn n t e h it e p h a er p side of Ludgate roach to Black friars -bridge from the Surrey sid e . A street from Black friars to the Mansion-house, by way of St. Paul's Cathedral, 18 also part of the pla n . A t the outset the scheme, what ever its merits, has to contend with the grave objection that it comes before the public too late in the day, seeing that the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company for some months past have been vigorously engaged in the con struction of their viaduct across the Thames, and that an Act of Parliament has been passed enabling the Corporation of London to build their bridge at Blackfriars from a design which they finally settled after more than a year's detention Mr. Greenhill meets this objection by suggesting that, inas much as a temporary bridge will be required for the accom modation of the traffic while the new bridge at Blackfriars is being constructed by the Corporation, advantage might be taken with that view of the works now in progress for the erection the railway bridge. LORD CLYD.7.—CHATHAM, July 22.—Field-Mar shal Lord Clyde ha,s passed a very comfortable night, and it is considered by his medical attendants that a great im provement in his condition has taken place. SHOCKING WRECK PF A PILGRIM SHIP WITH 400 LIVES.—It is feared that a most calamitous shipwreck has happened in the v icinityof Aden by the loss of the ship Boyne, with 400 p ii gr izna on board. The ad vices received at Lloyd's state that the Boyne left Bomb a y about a month since (prior to June 25 ) with abo ut 435 pil grims, bound to Suddal, and wh en near loodedith the s hip is reported to ha"e struck on a rock, tum; remained east The pilgrims were landed on an adjacent island, and soon afterwards the vessel was got off, leaking badly; but the passengers, in spite of the warning of the nacoda f immedi ately r e-embarked , and the ship was got under weigh, but. the water gained so rapidly on them that they were com pelled to abandon the vessel, and in the rush to escape nearly 400 of the pilgrims are said to have been drowned iti the wreck. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE OFF BLACKWALL.— On Tuesday a sad accident took place off Blackwell, which was witnessed by a large number of persons assem bled on Blackwell Pier. The ship Suffolk, one of Messrs. Wigram's fine fleet of Australian vessels, was being hauled out of the East India Dock, and on getting into the river, the crew crowded to the port side of the ship in order to give the usual parting cheer to their friends who were on the pier. They had given several deafening shouts when the boat swain's mate, a fine young man, who had his wife and child on board, in some way missed his hold and fell overboard. Unfortunately, in falling, his head came in contact with the port chains, and ho immediately disappeared under the water. The crew made a gallant effort to save the poor fellow, but in vain, and it is thought that the body was carried away by the tide. The anguish of the poor wife, who intended to accompany the ship to Gravesend, on wit nessing this sad scene, may possibly be imagined,
