CONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The general discount market presents a rather easier appearanoe owing to the diminution in the demand for money, usual immediately after the 4th, and the brokers now evince more disposition to negotiate first-class three months bills, at 39 per cent. About 134,000 in gold was taken into the bank yesterday. The amount of specie the Ripon will convey to India and China is £277,307. Mr. John Gillespie, of the firm of Gillespie, Churchill, and Co., has joined the beard of the English and Scottish Marine Insurance Company. Subjoined is our usual analysis of the weekly return issued by the Bank of England authorities. It will be observed that both the discount operations of the establishment and the Government deposits have been somewhat largely increased. In the former the augmentation is due to the close approxi mation of the rates in the general market to that of the Bank, and in the latter to the revenue payments, which lire now being actively collected : Active Circulation ..

It is proposed to ask the proprietors of the Scinde Railway Company, who have been summoned to attend a special meeting on the 19:h inst., to authorise the issue of £350,000, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent., and £150,000 by debentures bearing interest at the rate of 41 per cent, The directors will submit that the distribution be pro rata among existing shareholders. •. •• The Puo3aub Railway Company also intends to submit a proposition at a special meeting to be held on the 19th inst., empowering the directors to raise £500,000 by debentures, bearing interest at the rate of 41- per cent. The progress of business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has been moderately active, although no public sale of importance took place yesterday, in con sequence of the absence of many of the powerful operators at Ascot. Sugar has iully sustained pre vious rates, while in coffee, rice, tea, fruit, and spices, there is no change of importance to record in values The tallow market has continued dull, and quotations for both present and forward delivery have shown a slight downward movement. The Stock Exchange will be closed to-morrow, by order of the committee, on account of the Queen's birthday. At the eleventh annual general meeting of the shareholders of the London Chartered Bank of Australia, the accounts submitted showed that, after making allowance for bad and doubtful debts, there remained to the credit of profit and loss the sum of £52,492, out of which the directors recom mended that a dividend be declared for the half-year of 4 per cent., free of income-tax, amounting to £40,000, and that a sum of £5,090 be placed to the reserve fund, making a total of £45,000, and leaving to be carried to next account a balance of £7,492. Two o'CLocx. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were rather firm at 69f 60c.

THE LATE SCANDALOUS OUTRAGE ON FEMALES.—The prisoner " James Smith," was this morning again placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, to undergo another examination. It will be recollected that on the last occasion the magistrate expressed a desire that the tamest exertions might be made to discover the real name and position of the prisoner, as the name he gave on being first taken into custody, " James Smith," he admitted was an assumed one. Mr. Pollard, from the office of the Solicitor to the Treasury, attended for the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Lewis, jun. Mr. Pollard said his worship would remember that the case had been remanded to afford the police an opportunity of ident;fying the prisoner. Since that day, Inspector Mackenzie, whose labours throughout the case had been most unremitting, had discovered the required information, and had summoned two witnesses by whom it would', be shown, beyond all doubt, who and what the prisoner was. Other witnesses were present, but the evidence of one would of course be sufficient. Mr. John Page was then examined. He said—l am superintendent of the Surrey constabulary, residing at Dorking. I know the prisoner perfectly well. His name is Arthur Robert Willoughby Wade. He resides at Dork ing, and he is adjutant of the 3d Surrey Rifle Volunteers. Mr. Henry (to witness)—Does the prisoner hold any commission in the army ? Witness—l don't know, your worship. Mr. Henry—Has he ever been in her Majesty's service ? Witness—l have heard so, but I cannot say for certain. Mr. Henry—Are you acquainted with his hand• writing ? Witness—l have seen him write, but I cannot speak with certainty to it. The letter which the prisoner wrote to Colonel Cole at the police-station when he was first apprehended was then handed to witness. Mr. Henry— Do you know the handwriting of the letter ? I may tell you before answering, witnesses are not required to swear positively to handwriting, They are only asked to express a belief. Witness—l can only say it resembles the prisoner's very much. By Mr. Lewis—l have never seen the prisoner write. I have only seen the battalion orders written by him as posted about the town and sit the Lion Hotel, Dorking. Mr. Henry—That is scarcely enough, but the point is not of great importance. Mr. Pollard—That is the case for the prosecution. I have now, sir, to ask you to commit the prisoner under the 24th and 25th of Vic., c. 100, see. 49, 52, and 54 ; the penalty incurred being 14 years' penal servitude. Mr. Lewis—With reference to the more serious of the charges against the prisoner, I will only say that I shall have an answer to them at the proper time, if you, sir, in tend to send the case for trial. With reference to the minor charges the prisoner will reserve his defence. The prisoner was then fully committed to Newgate for trial upon each of the six charges preferred against him. Mr. Henry inquired if the Solicitor to the Crown had re ceived any communication in reference to a previous charge of the same nature that had been preferred against the pri soner at Marlborough •street about three years ago. Police-constable, 325 A, said—On Oct. 30 he had the prisoner in charge for indecently assaulting a married woman. The warrant was issued by Mr. Beadon, the magistrate then sitting. The name the prisoner then gave was " Frederick James," and said that he lived in Totten ham-court•road, but, on inquiry, it turned out to be a false address. Mr. Lewis objected to the particulars of the charge being stated. Mr. Henry (to witness)—l told you when you were here last week to put yourself in communication with the soli citorof the Treasury. Why did you not do so ? Witness—l have been in communication with Mr. Mac kenzie, and have been under his direction ever since. I have made every effort to find the original warrant, but have not yet succeeded in doing so. Inspector Mackenzie said he served the female by whom the complaint was made on that occasion with a summons to attend here to-day, and she is now in court. Mr. Pollard then called the witness—She said her name was Ann Graham. She resided at Bayswater, and her husband was a sweep. I preferred a charge against the prisoner at Marlborough-street Police-court. A warrant was issued, but I consented to settle the case on receiving £5 _ _ Mr. Lewis contended this could not be used in evidence against the prisoner. Mr, Henry said when the constable was here, he said £25 were paid. The constable satd he believed some of the persons con nected with the case received a portion of the money. The amount paid on the occasion was £25. Mr. Lewis said he wished it to be distinctly understood that on that occasion he was not concerned for the prisoner, and that he knew nothing about the payment of any money None of their firm were engaged in the matter. The inquiry then closed, no application being made for bail. Colonel Cole attended, and had an interview with the prisoner in his cell, but he was not Examiued. The prisoner exhibited the utmost indifference throughout the whole proceedings. SHARE MARKETS-This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOuh.S. Share: Railways.

BIRDNESTING AND DAMAGING THE TREES IN HYDE PARK.—James Luby, a lad, was charged before Mr. Knox with wilfully damaging the trees in Hyde-park. Fredk. Holmes, Hyde-park c,nstable No. 30, said that while near the playground by the Magazine Barracks, Hyde-park, the previous afternoon, his attention was called by a gentleman to the prisoner who was up a tree breaking off several branches. He called to the prisoner to come down and he did so, in hie descent breaking off several more branches. Mr. Knox said he supposed the prisoner was birdnesting. Holmes said that was the case, and the practice had be come a great nuisance. Mr. Knox said he was aware of the monstrous nuisance, and that many of those trees which were the delight of visitors to the park, were sadly cut about by boys. It was a thing that must be put a stop to, and he should order the prisoner to pay the damage 2E, 6d. and a fine of ss. or seven days. AN ARCHITECT CHARGED WITH MISCONDUCTING HIMSELF.—Mr. John Child, architect, of Albion-row, Albion-street, Leeds, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and indecently behaving himself. Adams, 222 C, said that while on duty in Leicester square near the Alhambra Palace about 12 o clock the pre vious night, his attention was called by a lady, who said a gentleman was misconducting himself a little further on. He went up and found the defendant (hunk, with his clothes in a state of disorder and his person exposed, the visitors to the Alhambra leaving at the time. On the defendant refusing to move away he took him into custody. Defendant denied the charge, and said he was not drunk Sergeant Collings, 16 C, said that he was at the Vine street station when the defendant was brought in charged with being drunk and misconducting himself. The de • fendant was drunk, and also two companions who came to the station. The defendant sai3 that only one companion went to the station. Another afterwards came from the Saracen's Head Rota, where he was stopping, and brought the land lord, who bailed him. He never used an indecent word or expression, and only went to the place for a necessary pur pose. Mr. Knox said he believed the sergeant, and also thought that he (the defendant) did not quite know what he was about, and that had he been himself he would not have done it. The defendant was then fined 10s., or seven days. The defendant left the court very disssatisfied at the charge being made. THAMES. A VERY UNNEIGYBOURLY PROCEEDING.-Mr. Middle ton, who said he had been in business 33 years as a watch maker, coal merchant, and earthenware, dealer, in the Commercial road, Stepney, and who was for several years a member of the vestry of Mile-end Old Town, came before Mr. Wcolrych to complain of the conduct of a man named Birch, his next door neighbour, who had published a libel concerning him, which was likely to do him considerable injury. Mr. Middleton said he was now an auctioneer, and car ried on a legitimate business. There were frequent sales in his aucti in-room, and his next door neighbour had pub lished a large placard with the following words, in large red letters upon it, " Notice to the public, beware of mock auctions." There was also an engraving of a man's hand with the index finger pointing towards the sale room, so that no one passing along the road could mistake its meaning. Mr. Woolrych said—lf the libel was false and scandalous and liable to lower Mr. Middleton in the estimation of the public, an action could be maintained in one of the superior courts at Westminster for damages. Mr. Middleton—l have already sustained considerable loss and inconvenience by the publication of this foul and malicious libel. Mr. Woolrych—Then bi ing your action, Mr. Middleton—l am afraid if my neighbour continues this there will be a serious breach of tb.e peaco. Mr. Woolrych—Then I shall have jurisdiction. Mr. Middleton—l want a summons :against him. Mr. Woolrych could not grant a sum mons, The remedy was by action. Mr, Middleton said if his neighbou r exhibited any more libellous Placards respecting him and his business he should adopt a very summary remedy with hi m.

Millet/ Dl' THE LISBURN ELECTION COMMITTEE. The select committee appointed by the House of Commons to inquire into the allegation that Mr. John Dogherty Barbour was unduly returned for Lisbon at the last election met yesterday for the first time. The committee consists of the fallowing members :—Mr. Evans (chairman), Mr. Booth, Mr. W. E. Forster, Viscount Enfield, and Viscount Curzon. The petition was read, alleging bribery, intimidation, &c. _ _ _ Sir F. Slade and Mr. Cooke appeared for the pet'. tioners ; Mr. Phinn, Q.C„ and Mr. Coleridge for the sitting member. Sir F. Slade, in opening the case for the peti tioners, reverted to several cases wherewith he said he should prove his case; he would not go into the details as they would be laid before the committee seriatim. He would mention the case of Thomas Jeffyrson, who was seen by the sitting member en the 10th Feb. last, and was promised by him double any amount the rival candidate might offer. Mr. Young, a spirit merchant, said to Jeffyrson, " Bar bour does not care a button what he does if you will vote for him." He then offered him (Jeffyrson) £4O, by marking 40 on the palm of his hand—a language which, although not audible, was very expressive. Mr. Cooke called Mr. James Richard Naber, from the Crown-office, who produced the return For the last election. The poll-books were also pro- &Iced. Mr. Phinn, Q.C., said his learned friend must first of all prove to the committee that this was a bona fide petition, or else he had no locus standi. Mr. Charles Murray Allen was then sworn. He proved witnessing the signing of the petition by the petitioners. Mr. More was also present when the petition was signed. Samuel Thomas Cumming was the first witness called. He said—l occupy lands and carry on the business of a farmer at Lisburn. About cleven days before the election John Lovery, whom I knew to belong to Mr. Barbour's party, came to my house, and said he wanted to speak to me. He said he would give me £lO if I would vote for Barbour. He said he was going to Henry Major, but would be back again. He came back and took my mother and wife into an adjoining room, and as I afterwards learnt, he gave them some money. Ido not know what that was. John Lovery was with my wife and mother for about 15 minutes. When he came out he told me he wanted me to go with him. He then told me he had given some money for me to go along with him. He took me to Hilden, to the factory of Messrs. William Barbour and Sons. We went in a car. There was another man in the car with us, a man-servant to Mr. Henry Major. When we reached the factory he took me into an office where there were a number of voters. Amongst them were William Brady, Charles Maguire, Jas. Turtle, Michael Wood, and Robert Miller. They were singing, dancing, eating, and fiddling, which they kept up all night. The eatables they had were brought to us in carts. They were the carts belong. ing to Messrs. Barbour and Sons. Brown, Chapman, and Gwinn, the clerks to Messrs. Barbour, came in after supper. There were no beds there. I slept on a form. A talk was raised as to my right to vote by those present. I spoke to Mr. T. Barbour, and I asked him to let me go home, as I had no right to vote. He said " I was well enough where I was." A man named Johnson said he was not well and wanted to go home, but they would not let him. A man named Grimy was carried away by force by his wife. The place where we were was guarded at night by men who had loaded guns and who kept watch in the yard. Some of us tried to get out of the window, but they would not let us, and they nailed it up. That was about eight feet above the ground. The window was nailed up by the parties who served out the meat and drink. I saw a man named Young, a voter, in the office. We were kept in that office till the day before the poll ing. I told them that my vote was no good. They said I should poll, "No matter what the devil was the consequence." When we left there we were taken to the Queen's Arms Hotel to the committee. I was placed in a room at the back of the house. That was on Friday, the 20th. I remained at the Queen's Arms till the next morning. There were between fifty and sixty voters there. There we had singing and dancing and drinking. There were no ladies there. We had whisky and porter. I saw Mr. Smith, lawyer, there. I saw Mr. Robert Barbour there, too, and I spoke to him, and said I wanted to go home, as I had a sick mare I wanted to attend to, He said he wanted me to vote for his brother. I told him I had not changed my clothes all the time I had been detained. He sent for some clothes for me. He bought me a pair of trousers, waistcoat, and several other articles of clothing, which I put on. John Lovery was there, placing the voters in two's to go to the poll, to" bully" as it is called. There were soldiers there to keep the line for people going to the poll. I said to John Lovery, I was of no use, He replied that he would " knock my eye out." At the hustings I was asked to swear that I was a person entitled to vote. I said the oath was too hard for me, so I would not take it. (Laugh ter.) When I got home my mother gave me £lO, which John Lovery had given her. Cross-examined by Mr. Phinn, Q.C.—I have known John Lovery for many years. I was never canvassed by the otherside. It was half-past eleven o'clock in the day when I was forced up the street. I did not cry out, because I thought no one would come to my assistance. I did not go to any magistrate to complain of my being detained at Hilden for 11 days. The first person I told was Mr. M'Lean, an attorney's clerk. I got him to write a letter for me for compensation for the loss of my mare, which had died during my detainment, but I got no answer. Robt. Cumming, brother to the last witness, gave corroborative evidence. Cross-examined. by Mr. Phinn, Q.C.—I did not go to a magistrate about the detention of mybrother. Mrs. Anne Cumming, wife of Thomas Cumming, deposed to Lovery paying her mother-in-law £lO. Mr. John Pennington, solicitor, was then called, sworn, and examined by Sir F. Slade—He said he resided at Lisburn. He had in his possession a decree against John Macintyre, who was at that time an elector of Lisburn. Witness knew he was busying himself in the election for Mr. Barbour, He told witness he was engaged on the part of Mr. Barbour. The money Macintyre owed him was about £29. As he would not pay, he (witness) had him arrested. Mr. Brown came to witness, and said ho would settle with him for Macintyre, Mr. Brown is, he believed, the chief clerk of Messrs. Barbour. Upon Brown settling with him Macintyre was released. By Mr. Phinn, Q.L.—This transaction was quite open. The money was paid in his (witness's) office. James Bannister was then called, sworn, and examined by Sir F. Slade—He said he voted for Mr. Verner. Mr. John Dogherty Barbour called upon witness and asked him for his vote. He did not give a direct or satisfactory answer. He said Mr. Major would "be as big with him as any one else." He did not make any promise. A day or two after, Robert Barbour called upon him and asked him for his vote. He still refused. He told Bar bour he had had an offer of £5O. Barbour then said he would give him £6O, or any sum witness iiked to name. The committee then adjourned. CRYSTAL PALACE,—To-morrow (Saturday) being the Queen's birthday a special display of all the groat foun tains will be given at 2 o'clock. The concert at 3 will take place in the centre transept, Mademoiselle Carlotta Patti, Madame Lemmens Sherrington, Signor Severeni, Miss God dard, and Signor Colosanti be in g the principal artistes.

We have received the following letter from a Malta correspondent, dated Valetta, May 31:— "Rear-Admiral H. R. Yelverton, C,8., unexpect- edly arrived here yesterday evening by the Penin sular and Oriental packet Valetta, from Marseilles. He hoisted his flag on the following morning on board the Revenge, 73, under the usual salute. Major-General Wood and Mrs. Wood, who left this island in the Magicienne, 16, Capt. W. Armytage, with Sir W. F. Martin, returned in the Valetta, which vessel also had on board as passengers M.)jor Thursby and Commander Seymour, R.N. Admiral Yelverton was received on landing this afternoon at the Customhouse-whart by a guard of honour of the 25th Regiment, and a salute of 11 guns from the saluting battery. The Commander-in-Chief, Vice• Admiral R. Stiiarf, K. 11., intends leaving in a day or two with the squadron for a cruise. He ba had a slight attack of fever, which confined him to his ship for a few days, but is now quite recovtred. Her Majesty's gunboat CockAtrice, 2, Lieut.-Com mander Gillson, returned from Bengazi yesterday. She conveyed to that place from Malta Mr. Saun ders, electrician, and Mr. Schaefer, mechanician, of the firm of Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co. The Cockatrice, after undergoing some repairs, will re • some her post on the Danube. The Icarus, 11, Com mander N. Salmon, V.C., has gone up to the Piraeus to relieve the Pelican. A letter from the Piraeus of 23d inst. states that her Majesty's ship Queen, 76, Capt. F. C. Hillyar, and the Pelican were there at that date. The Foxhound, 4, Commander Ander son, had left to carry a telegram to Syra, and was to return to the Firma immediately after deliver ing the message. The foreign men-of-war at the Piraeus on the 23d inst. were as follows :—French —The Zenobie, 38 guns; the Mouette, 4; and the Gorgone, 4. Italian--4te Galantuomo, 80, and a despatch boat. Austrian The Novara. 46; the Seahound, 4; and the Pylades, sailing brig. Russian—The Asliabe, 51. Turkish—The Broussa, 51. Greek—The Hellas, 28. The Austrian gunboat Wall, 4, left the Piraeus on the 21st inst. for Syra, Nauplia, and Patras, and the Pylades was to leave on the 23d inst. for Castel Nuovo. The English men-of-war at Corfu are the Liffey, 39, Captain G. Parker, and the Surprise, 4, Commander W. H. Whyte. The Phoebe, 17, Commander Fortescue, is at Beyrout, the Psyche, 2, despatch-vessel, at Con stantinople, and the Weser, 6, Commander A. H. Johnstone, on the Danube. The St. George, 86, is still at Naples, and the Trident, 6, Commander C. J. Balfour, and the Procris, Lieut.-Commander G. Palmer, are at Gibraltar. The rest of the Mediter ranean fleet are in Malta harbour, awaiting sailing orders. The Sultan's paddlewheel steam yacht the Fezi-Gihad arrived last week from Constantinople to be docked, none of the docks in the Horn being long enough to receive her. It is reported that it will take six weeks to complete her repairs." A letter from Madeira states that her Majesty's steam frigate Valorous, Capt. C. C. Forsyth, was at that island on the 17th ult. She had made a fine passage of five and a-half days from England. The Royal Oak, 35, screw iron-cased ship, 4,056 tons, 800 horse power, Capt. Frederick A. Campbell, arrived at Sheerness from Folly Point a few days ago. In taking up her moorings in the harbour she ran foul of the mooring lighter, and carried away some of her head gear, but as soon as the damage had been remedied she was swung for the adjust ment of her compasses. Yesterday Vice-Admiral Sir J. W. Hope Johnstone, Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, proceeded with his staff to inspect the vessel, and expressed himself much gratified with the admirable state of efficiency to which she had arrived, and with the zeal and activity displayed by her officers and crews. It is expected she will leave this port to-day for Portsmouth to join the Channel squadron. Mr. Baker, inspector of machin ery, and chief engineer of Chatham dockyard, will proceed round in the vessel from Chatham to Ports mouth, by order of the Admiralty, for the purpose of conducting the trials to be undertaken to test the working of her machinery. The Magnet, gunboat, 60 horse power, tender to the Pembroke, 60, coast guard ship stationed at Harwich, has been employed during the week in conveying shot and ammunition to the various coast guara stations on the eastern and south-eastern coasts, for summer practice. Letters received at Plymouth from the paddle wheel steam frigate Leopard, 18, Capt. Charles T. Leckie, state that after a very fine passage from the Cape of Good Hope, having experienced a fair wind nearly all the way, she arrived, all well, at Singa pore, April 14, and expected to leave the next day for Hongkong. The only other ship of war at Sin gapore was the gunboat Sanus. In consequence of a telegram received at Chatham from the Admiralty the sailing frigate Active, Com. T. Heard, has been detained at Chatham, but will leave the harbour this day for Sunderland, where she is to be stationed, and to which port she will be navigated by a party of seamen from the steam re serve. The Active will be towed to the Nore by the Adder, when the paddlewheel steamer Medusa will tow her to Sunderland. Yesterday the water was admitted into No. 3 dock, at Chatham, in which the Orlando, 41, 1,000 horse power, Captain G. G. Randolph, has been refitting for some weeks past, and the frigate floated out at the top of the tide. The repairs effected in the Orlando since she has been in the shipwrights' have been very extensive, and will add materially to the strength of that vessel. The work has been completed in a very short time. In addition to the ordinary re pairs and alterations some improvements have been effected in the engineering department, which will add materially to the efficiency of the Orlando when under steam. A valuable invention by Mr. Oliver, the chief engineer, for preventing the screw from falling after the upper paul is above deck, has been approved by the Admiralty, and ordered to be fitted to the Orlando. This invention is likely to prove of great advantage on board all screw steamers, and will, doubtless, come into general use. The " tell-tale," for informing the officials in the engine-room of the direction of the vessel, also in vented by Mr. Oliver, has been fitted in the Orlando. The screw propeller (Griffiths's) has been repaired, and new thrust brasses fitted. Yesterday Mr. Allen, the patentee of the engine-room telegraphs, was engaged on board in fitting an apparatus for illuminating the telegraph at night; an additional telegraph has also been fitted on the forward bridge. Instructions have been received from the Admiralty for Gilmore's electric steering apparatus to be fitted on board. On the Orlando being un docked yesterday afternoon she got up steam from four boilers and proceeded down the harbour under the guidance of Mr. Blakey, second master, Queen's pilot at Chatham, accompanied by the Adder and e Otter steamers, to Pinope-reach, where:she tookhuel: her moorings. She will immediately guns, shot, shell, powder, cables, a.nd ducked, a eavv nd stores removed out of her beforealb. elanfgter which she take on board 500 to ns Admiralty. 2l,4oo-horse power, c The screw corvette ada i n hand and fitted for r : ' will await orders from the tiaf e them steam reserve, in is tofibrset tehae d i ness for imm ediate commission. i d m i s e i d o t o e f l y a e k c e n h a vi r Mr. Reed, the chief constructor of the navy, ester day resum ed his official visit to W oo l w i c h d oc kyard, and examined in detail the stacks of timber a dapted for the frames of armour-platen ships, and especially the stores of mahogany and d i o n c ci k u T i a r r ie d s is a n te m p v r e e n li c m u i m na b r e y re t d o .

Mr. Edmund Balfour, a gentleman well known in all the rowing clubs as a most liberal supporter of aquatic sports, went out about seven o'clock for a morning row, and not returning at his usual time some uneasiness was felt, which caused inquiries to be made. The result was that his boat was discovered drifting without him, an d t b o:a e e n r l t w e h h i it soon became certain that he had met with a watery grave. search was instantly commenced, and a large number of boats were employed ill found. ocuh h This i yes terdaysdurpapg suppo s ed e n ici f o that ttor ahea trace have r f t t of e passed, b t o h d e b yuriver had uapd sad catrastrophe will not only plunge . his family and numerous friends into deepr i keenly felt by all 'who enjoyed the but will be privilege of his acquaintance. An extraordinary amount of excite ment prevails in Putney, the inhabitants vieing with each other in th • ei r endeavours to assist in finding the remains of and deserv e dl y ne by wh th o e i m n . life was so much respected An accident o f a f a t a l c h ar acter occurred yester day morning on the river,in Grantchester Meadows, Cambridge, to Mr. Isaac Pask, a member and foun dation scholar of Emmanuel College. Mr. Pask, who only entered last October, accompanied by two brother collegians, engaged three of the dangerous cockle-shell canoes now in such common use, and proceeded to row up the river. Neither of the oc cupants were expert in the management of this kind of craft—in fact, neither had ever entered one before. The consequence was that !ir turning a Corner Mr. Pask upset his boat in 12 feet of water, and was drowned before assistance could be afforded. Neither of his companions could swim, and no effectual help was near. The remains of the de. ceased were convened to the Red Lion at Grant chester to await an inquest. He was about 21 years of age, and the most sanguine hcpes were enter tained of his aca demical career. His friends reside in London, whither the Rev. Mr. Phear, fellow and tutor of the society, proceeded by the midday train. to break the sad intelligence.
