THE EX-ROYAL FAMILY OF FRANCE ' the Panda, when instantaneously the Panda blew up, with a tremendous explosion, killing one on the spot, and wounding several others, three of whom died on being brought on board the Curlew. Mr. Johnson, the purser, Mr. Lewis, gunner, John Pitting, marine, and W. Kingston, a boy, were killed. John Wasley, a marine, was Fo severely wounded as to cause his leg to be amputated, but now doing well. Commander Trotter, who was jammed between the gun amidships; William Green wood, a marine; Corporal John Key; Thos. Peter, a seaman, and James Palmer, a boy, were so wounded, as to render them unfit for service. Our surgeon, Mr. Mackay, had a very providential escape: he was standing close to the gun when the order was given to fire, and thinking that he should not be able to see where the shot pitched, went into the fore-rigging just as the schooner blew up, thereby escaping a death which would have inevitably ensued. The accident is supposed to have been occasioned by some sparks from the gun setting fire to some loose powder which was lying on the deck, and from thence communicated to the magazine. Throughout. the whole transaction Capt. Trotter behaved in the most gallant and manly manner, for although severely hurt, he would not quit the Panda until she was a complete wreck. Two or three days after this horrid catastrophe we gave the town a few Congreve rockets, but did no da mage. It being, therefore, useless to remain here, we sailed for Port Antonio, the chief harbour, where we now are. I forgot to mention that we captured five Spaniards of the Panda, but they had joined her subsequent to the piracy. We have, however, collected sufficient information from them to satisfy us that the Panda is the schooner which robbed the Mexican Boston brig. It seems to have been Don Pedro's plan to have shipped his money on board (every valuable article being landed, when the boats captured her), and then to have proceeded to the Havannah, with 400 slaves, which were ashore in the Baracoons, at that time. With regard to the slave trade, it is more brisk than ever; it is reported that within the last three months, 8 or 9,000 slaves have been shipped on board vessels at Whydah, and the season for slaves is only just commencing, August being the month most productive of yarns, upon which the slaves chiefly subsist.—llampshire Telegraph. INQUEST ON A FACTORY BOY. mined the diseased parts and the head. On dis -ecting the muscles at the hack part of the neck the scalpel penetrated the sac of an abscess, from which a quantity of thick matter was evacuated. We found caries of the spinous process of the second vertebra, and also of the transverse processes of the fourth, fifth, and sixth vertebra. There was also a consi derable thickeninm of the membranes covering the spinal marrow. The abscess which was first opened communicated with the spinal canal, and the spinal I narrow would in consequence be compressed just above the part from which the nerves are transmitted to the superior extremities, that would produce the palsy of which I have spoken. That is a dis ease which I have often seen produced from na , rural causes, but in those cases it is the body of the vertebrae which becomes diseased, that part of the hone being much softer and more liable to dis ease than the spinous and transverse processes, from which circutustances I am inclined to be lieve that this disease has been produced by ex ternal injoiy. A portion of the spinous process was absorbed. It had disappeared, but whether !hat had been occasioned by absorption, or whe ther it had originally been broken off, I cannot say. A heavy blow inflicted about the neck islikdy to produce such a disease. I think it might pro- Aare the same effect if the boy had been suspended by the neck for two or three minutes; I should think a mere fall not calculated to do it. I should think that the disease had existed two or three months; front the appearances which I saw it might he from three to twelve months. It might have been produced by a very heavy fall on the back of his neck. He was in the most helpless, loathsome condition that any human being could be reduced to. We opened the head, and found the brain in a healthy state, but the membranes were diseased. It is very probable that might have been occasioned by the disease in the membranes of the spinal marrow, one being a continuation from the other. Did not examine the viscera of the body; we thought it would be quite unnecessary, as we had found suffi cient to account for his death. 'We attribute the primary cause of death to that disease of the spine which I have mentioned. The injury which he had received has been the immediate cause of his death. The state of his head would not be the cause of his death. He only lost his understanding two or three days before his death. William Hey, jun., Esq., corroborated the facts stated by Mr. Smith, and at the request of the Coroner accompanied Mr. Smith to inspect the contents of the chest and abdomen, which were found healthy The evidence touching the cause of the deceased's death having been gone through, the CORONER, addressing Joseph Radcliffe, the person who had been implicated, asked him if he had anything to say in explanation, telling him that it was optional with him whether he said anything or nor, but that what he did say must be written down. 010 8 f3 O 0 7 70 4 0 g 4. The Tetnps has the following :—" We had already learned the ill-humour of Charles X. at the approach of the moment which had been fixed upon without his concurrence, for the accession of a child to the crown, whom he, in time of perplexity, had appointed as his successor. The old King, how ever, would not explain himself; and some of his old courtiers, alarmed at a change which might re duce them to inaction arid impotence, urged him to speak out, and intimate his Royal will to his family. In the meanwhile the Emperor of Austria arrived at Prague : more accessible than his Prime Minister, Francis I. was consulted. The latter, in the absence of Prince Metternich, could not reply in his usual way :—‘ Speak to Metternich.' His Imperial Majesty thought it best for the tranquillity of Bohemia to prevent two or three hundred thought less young men coming to Prague, on the 29th of September, to make another King where there were already two Kings too many. He was de cidedly of the same opinion as Charles X., and con sidering it disrespectful on the part of a grandson and of a nephew to take possession of the throne in spite of his grandfather and his uncle, both Kings, he gave his approbation to the plan which had been adopted in Charles's Coun cil. Charles X. has declared that an essential ar ticle was attached to the abdication signed by him at Rrmbouillet, namely, the proclamation of Henry V. as King, under the Guardianship arid Lieutenancy of the Duke of Orleans. This condition not having been fulfilled, all the acts connected with the act of abdication are null and void. The Duchess of Angouleme (the Duke is never mentioned) coincides in opinion with Charles X., preferring the hope of being one day really Queen Marie Therese, to the present possession of that title; which the legitimattst journals have bestowed upon her. Charles X.had been preparing this coup-di etat, this revolution, for some time. Thus, when the Duchess was on her adventurous journeys in France, to ex cite civil war in La Vendee, styling herself Regent of France, the Court of Prague refused to acknow ledge-that title, which it called an act of usurpation on the part of the Duchess. Pressed, however, by the Legirimatists, who, certain of being forsaken by the foreign Powers, perceived no chance of safety but in the success of the Duchess, which was thought little probable but not quite impossible, Charles X. promised to acknowledge the Regency upon two conditions, first, that a Royal Court should enregister the letters of Regency, secondly, that the Duchess should have under her orders an army of at least 25,000 men. This was begging the question ; success was made the condition on which the acknowledgment depended, and the ac knowledgment was sought for in order to facilitate success. The Royal Court was not to be found, those of Aix, Poictiers, and Rennes, had been thought of and insinuations made to them, but to no purpose. Witta respect to the army of 25,000 men, success alone could produce it, but the Duchess of Berry was imprisoned at Blaye. The Regency was there fore not acknowledged, and the road was traced for the revolution which preceded, by only a few days, the 29th of September. M. de Pas tore], who had gone to Prague, in order to fix himself there as Chance:lor of France, and in that capacity to countersign a declaration of majority, was dismissed. The Duchess of Berry, when restored to liberty, made some attempts to propitiate the family of her first husband. The Vi-count de Chateaubriand was sent to Prague, for that purpose. A worse agent could scarcely have been found, for he is pk-rsonally disliked by Charles X., and since the Revolution has called Charles a perjured King. The Viscount de Cha teaubriand ‘t as received coolly by Charles X., and still more so by the Duchess of Augouleme. His pro posals met with little encouragement ; yet Christian charity prevailed, and a promise was made to re ceive the Duchess, but on three conditions, namely —l. To prove her marriage previous to the nine months of her pregnancy-2. To disgrace the Count de Mesnars, who after having, it is said, been the first seducer of the Duchess, proved to be too care less a supervisor-3. To renounce the Regency and the actual pretensions of the Duke of Bordeaux to the Crown. This is the real state of things; the answer of the Duchess is not yet known, and the business stands as it was on the morning of the 2d of August at Ramhouillet."

Consi derable interest was excited respecting the issue of the investigation, there having been strong reason to believe that the death of the deceased had been occasioned by the ill-treatment he had received from one of the overlookers in the flax manufactory of Mr. Mark Walker, in Mabgate, about six months ago. Mr. Hargreaves, solicitor, attended to watch the proceedings on the part of Mr. Walker and his overlooker. The following is an outline of the evi dence : William Tomlinson, the father of the deceased, stated that his son had worked at Mr. Walker's mill about two years prior to the month of March last. Up to that time his health had been good; hut in March he left Mr. Walker's service on ac count of his health. He complained of a stiff neck. Before that time he was the stoutest in a family of seven children, but since then his health had de clined. In March, some time after he had left his work, the deceased was admitted an out-patient of the Infirmary, but about ten days afterwards he be came too ill to go to the Infirmary for his medicines, and by order of Mr. Hey he was admitted an in patient at the Hospital. He remained there up• wards of 21 weeks, and was discharged incurable a month ago last Monday. He had since been con fined to his bed, and he expired on Wednesday morning, about half-past seven o'clock. He had repeatedly said since he came home from the In firmary that he was going to die, and witness be lieved lie was impressed with the idea that his end was approaching. Soon after he came home, after he had stated his conviction that he should not recover, witness asked him about his neck, and though he had refused to say anything about it before, he said it had been caused by a stroke which Joseph Radcliffe, the overseer, had given him with a brush-handle across his neck. After that time he never could bear to hear Radcliffe's name mentioned, and he wished persons who came to s(e him to avoid discoursing on the subject, that they might not mention his name. This took place about a week after he came from the infirmary, and it was the first and only time that the thing was mentioned. Witness believed at the time that he was conscious of its being his last illness. G T his day was published, in 3 vols. post Svo..

The following extract of a letter from an officer of his Majesty's ship Curlew, relates the circum stances under which the piratical vessel Panda ex ploded, and the names of those of the Curlew who unhappily met their death by that occurrence : " In May last we arrived at Prince's, and our Cap tain (Trotter) received information from an Ame rican brigantine then lying here, that a piratical schooner, the Panda, had boarded the Mexican, a Boston brig, on the 20th of September, in lat. 33 N. long. 34 W. near the Cape de Verd Islands, and had robbed her of upwards of 20,000 dollars. The Panda, we were informed, was now lying up the river Nazareth, near Cape Lopez, not far from Prince's. Capt. Trotter accordingly set sail for that place, and anchored within two miles of it. On the 4th of June he sent his boats up the river, taking command of them himself, and had pulled up about two miles, when he discovered a schooner lying at anchor. They still continued rowing, and had suc ceeded in approaching her unobserved, till they came within half a mile. The current at this time was running very strong, and the crew of the pit ate had been enabled to effect their escape in their boats ; but previous to their quitting the schooner, the villains set fire to a tram which we have since learnt was already laid and prepared. The boats shortly reached the schooner, and on the men go ing on board, forbid that in less than five minutes the Panda would have blown tip. By undiminished exertions the crew of the Curlew succeeded in al laying the progress of the flames, and on the next day the schooner was conveyed out of the river, and joined the Cutlery. It was of course desirous, and of great importance, if possible, to capture Don Pedro Gilbert, the captain of the Panda, and his crew. We therefore sent our boats up the river in quest of them, but without success. We ascer tained that they had taken refuge in the town of Lopez. In this service, I am sorry to te ll you, we lost our assistant-surgeon( s nLsaiureieo).e,lywhreogrfeetitleda and to the fever; he was beloved by all his messmates. Captain Trotter, on healing that the pirates were at Lopez, resolved to anchor the schooner abreast the town, with most of the officer- , and men on board, and make a formal demand of the pirates from the King of Cape Lopez, whose name is Possal. Accordingly the Panda was taken abreast of the town (there not being sufficient depth of water to admit the Curlew within gun shot), where the Kin g resided. The Captain then went on shore, and after some con ference with the King, the latter refused to deliver up the pirates. A flag of truce was therefore sent on shore the next morning (15rh June), to in form them that if thay did not br in g the villain off in four hours' time, the town should he reduced to ashes. On the same day the Curlew was brought nearer the schooner, to intimidate the natives. Picture to yourself the enthusiasm that reigned in the breast of every one on board the schooner — too soon, alas! to be blasted. At four p.m. the pirates not being sent off, we fired the fist gun from ST. IVES. —Mr. Commissioner Rushton conducted the inquiry into the corporation of this borough. The parties examined were, the Town Clerk, Lieut. Roberts, R.N., Captain J. Wearne, and Mr. W. W, Kempthorne. PENZANCE.-The Commissioners were engaged on Wednesday in investigating the state of the corporation of this borough. At its close, the Commissioners expressed themselves satisfied with the past administration of that body. SALTASIL-From the examination of the Town Clerk, it appears this corporation claim their rights and privileges by prescription. The first charter was that of Reginald de Valletort, Nov. 27, 1831, Baron of Trematon. The corporation consisted of Mayor, seven Aldermen, of whom the Mayor was one, Recorder, and an indefinite number of free burgesses. The present Mayor has filled the office four successive years; the late Mr. James Buller had, in one instance, held it over six ; the free burgesses are elected by the Mayor and Aldermen. Three Aldermen are resident, including the Mayor. The burgesses are free of tolls throughout the kingdom, except London. The whole body of the corporation are at present consulted as to management of the revenues. The borough pays no county rates. The new road from Plymouth and Devon_ port to Saltash is likely to increase the borough. Mr. Toby, Alderman, filled the office of Receiver about 20 years, and resigned about a year ago. His accounts were settled 6th August, 1833. Revenues arose from the rent of ferry, oyeterage, burgage, market, and quay dues. There are no lands. The ferry was sold about a year ago to the bridge company for 4,1'591., the whole of which is now in the Exchequer. It let previou,ly at about 2001. per annum. At one time the revenues were 700/. or 800/. per annum. The minister of the borough chapel, St. Nicholas, formerly received 60/. per annum, but now 40/. By a recent resolution, the minister would receive 400/. as an endowment, in lieu of the 40/. Present debt —mortgage, 1,8261. 6s. 2d ; ditto ditto, 231/. ; ditto to the chapel, 4001. The accounts from 1910 to 1828 wer e not audited by the corporation till 1831, but by Mr. Smith, of London, the mortgagee, who gave no security. The mortgage arose in consequence of a law suit in 1809, For the last eight years the revenues had but just met the necessary expenditure. The Commissioners, with Mr. Sloggeet, went over the whole of Mr. Tony's accounts to the year 1828, and expressed themselves satisfied with their correctness. HELSTON. —On Monday (30th ult.) Henry Roscoe, Eq., one of the Corporation Commissioners, sat at the Guildhall, and entered into a minute investigation of the affairs of the corporation, when the fullest and most satis factory explanations were given as to the income and expenditure of that body. The corporate body s eonsists of a Mayor, Recorder, five Aldermen, and an unlimited number of Freemen ; of the latter there were formerly not more than 40, but they have since been greatly increased. The corporation act on a charter granted them in 1771, and which supersedes 13 others previously granted by different Kings, &c. TRURO.—The inquiry into the state of this corporation clo,ed on Friday, when Mr. Commissioner Roscoe said he trusted the investigation which bad taken place would be productive of considerable benefit to all parties. It had been the object of the Commissioners, as well as their duty, to afford the fullest opportunity to the inhabitants to make every inquiry into the state of the corporatist, and he trusted that those inquiri,s would prove satisfactory. In conclusion, the Commissioners had to express their thanks to the Town Clerk for the readiness with which he had supplied the information called for, and to the inhabitants who had so kindly assisted them, by suggesting subjects for investigation ; and they were satisfied no information was withheld. Among the curious facts brought to light by the In quiries of the Corporation Commissioners not the least striking circumstance is the knowledge that most of the corporations are in debt. Their debts can only be paid by the future I ,hour of the inhabitants ; and thus we find that, in addition to what is called the national debt, there is another debt in almost every town anti p iris}, in the comntry, which, taken altogether, consritute a burden which is breaking the back of the people by its pressure. STRABANE CORPORATION.—OH Saturday, the Commissioners took their sears in the Court House of Strabane, to inquire into the state and affairs of that corporation. Sir J. Burgoyne, the provost, was examined at great length. ENNISKILLEN CORPORATION.—The COM tnis,ioners have finished their inquiries at Enniskill , n. Mr. Deering, K.C., as agent for Lord Enuiskillen, gave a deal of information regarding the charter of the place, its tolls, customs, and general revenues. _ _ One of the most opulent bankers in London is the chief pecuniary supporter of Mr. Irving's religious establishment in Newman-street. There are likewise other wealthy persons who have contributed largely to wards the purchase of the gallery belonging to the late venerable President of the Royal Academy, which is now converted into a temple for what they themselves denomi natelnspired Groaners. A successful application has been made to the Treasury f,,r a grant from tie education fund, to erect school-rooms in this town, capatile of educating from '7OO to 1,000 children. The scho.l will, we believe, be con structed on the most liberal system, admitting children without any reference to sects, party, or religious profes sion. The plan of teaching will be that pursued by the British and Foreign School Society.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. William Naylor, a boy aged twelve years, said, I am a heckler, in the employ of Mr. Mark Walker, flaxdresser, in the Leylands. Have been in his employ three or four years. Knew the deceased three or four years, who worked at Mr. Walker's, and who came soon after him. He was employed as a sere wer till about twenty-nine weeks ago. The machine had broke at which the deceased was em ployed in the mill. About a fortnight before he left Mr. Walker's the heckles had broken at his machine. The deceased then went to fetch a ladder to get some new heckles which were in a cupboard some yards from the floor, and by accident he pulled some of them down with his smock. The overlooker, Joseph Radcliffe, who was at the ma chine, then went arid tock !he ladder (which was a light one) and struck the deceased at the back of the neck with it; he fell on the floor. The deceased looked up to the o‘erlooker so that he might not strike him any more. He got up in a few minutes, and went to his work at the machine, and continued to work all the day. On another occasion the over looker took some flax out of his holder, and told him it was not screwed tight enough. The long brush was near him ; he took it up and struck him over the head and shoulders with the shaft. The deceased had said nor done anything before he was struck, The witness could see the overlooker pull it out, anti he said he should screw the holder tighter. He then struck him three or four times very heavy blows ; he cried out, and the more he cried out he laid on heavier. I was in the privy in the shop, a distance of seven yards. Could see them ; there was no door on. The brush shaft was nearly as thick as my shackle. He continued to work all that day. Did not see him struck any more that day. Saw him struck two or three days after. The de ceased and myself and some of the boys were play ing in a shed in the yard in the morning whilst the bell rung, and we pulled some mats down. The everlooker inquired about the mats. We told him we had been playing. He then payed us with the rope over the back. Knew the rope, because I had been payed before with it. We went to our work, but the deceased stopped with the over looker.—(The witness here produced a rope about a yard and a half long, which he had brought from the shop.)—The overlooker put the noose, made to slip, round the neck of the deceased ; lie threw the other over the steam-pipe, drew the deceased up, and let him hang there for three or four minutes with his feet about two or three feet from the ground, and his body about two feet from the pipe; he then let him fall on the floor with the rope round his neck, took it off, and struck him on the back, and then sent him to his work. Worked all the day. I heard him complain of his neck being stiff that day. He came to his work after that two or three days, but never came again. He came to his work about a fortnight after from the time he was struck with the ladder and the brush-handle. After that he left for good, now about twenty-nine weeks since. Saw him several times struck with the rope over his head by the same overlooker be fore he was struck with the ladder. First heard him complain of the pain in his neck that day he was hung by the neck, The weight of his body hung by the rope. The rope is kept on purpose to beat us with. The following is the most important part of the evidence given on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, before the magistrates in the present inquiry : The Rev. Mr. Holloway, clergyman of l3rancaster, stated that about half-past nine o'clock on Sunday morning, the Ist of September, he first heard of the stranding of a vessel on the shore near that town. He was informed by his servant that a person of the name of Cutting, who keeps the Ship Inn, had applied for the loan of a horse, to bring up pas sengers from the vessel. He saw Cutting, and told him that he should not only have his horses but also his men. He then went immediately over to the inn to see that preparations were made, fires lit, beds prepared, and every necessary accommodation for the reception of the passengers. At the same time he told the landlady whatever conveniences she wanted for that purpose should be supplied from his house. He then ordered his horse, and was going down to the vessel, when he was told that the passeagers were coming up : he returned :o the inn, and found that some passengers had just arrived. He saw two gentlemen standing by the fire in the kitchen ; they were not insensible, but were shiver ! ing with the cold; he subsequently learned they were a Mr. Logan and Mr. A. Horsburg. Observing the fire very large,he requested that it might be nearly extinguished. At that moment some person brought in some rum or brandy, which he immediately threw under the grate, under the impression that in their then state it would be injurious to them. He strongly recommended them to go to bed, which they declined, saying that they should soon recover. He then insisted on their being hand-rubbed to promote ! circulation, which being done, he went to inquire after the crew, whom he found in art adjoining room. He asked them if they were exhausted; they replied that they were not, and said that they only required some coffee, which he ordered from his own house, and they obtained coffee and other comforts from Mr. Bowles, &c. Having understood that there were some female passengers on board, he inquired where they were. One of the crew replied that the three girls had gone to bed, and one man had gone to Davy's locker. This answer referred to the females who had been saved. He did not then know the real circumstances of the case. He asked the landlady of the inn were any of the female passengers in bed ? she told him that there was one, and there was also a man who was very bad ; he immediately went to visit him, and found two women endeavouring to hold him, Judging from his appearance that there was no time to be lost, he instantly got him rubbed by two men, and had hot bricks applied to his feet. After half an hour the man was recovered. In about two hours afterwards he inquired for the Captain, whom he saw. He asked him (the Captain) how he found himself ? The Cap tain replied, " Very well," or words to that effect. Observing his jacket wet, he advised him to change it ; he said " No, I shall have my breakfast first," which was then before him. At that instant be was called out to speak to Mr. Horsburg, who, on ob serving him, exclaimed, " Oa 1 the poor ladies." He ( witness) replied that there was no cause for alarm, as they were in bed and fast asleep. Some person present observed, that he (Mr. Horsburg) meant the ladies in the cabin; this was the first intimation that he had of any ladies being drowned. lie immediately returned to the Captain, and asked him if it was true t hat he had lost any passengers; he replied that " he had a few." He (witness) de sired him to explain himself. The Captain, in reply, said that he did not know what the witness meant by explain. He then said to the Captain, " Do you intend by saying you have lost a few that some persons are drowned ?" The Captain replied in the affirmative. He then asked the Captain " had he ever heard of a British sailor eating his breakfast with the coolness and collectedness of a bu.cher under such circumstances ?" He inquired where the ladies were; the Captain said that he had left George Mortimer, aged 12, Henry Smith, aged 14, three other boys, and Mrs. Hannah Turner, gave similar evidence of the ill treatment of the de ceased. At this stage of the proceedings the inquiry was postponed till Thursday evening, when the follow additional evidence was adduced : Samuel Smith, Esq., said—l am senior sur geon to the Leeds General Infirmary. I first saw the deceased many w ee k s ago; h e was a p at i ent i n theinfirmary under the care of Mr. Hey. My at tention was called to him as a case of most serious injury produced by blows. I examined and found him in a state of hopeless palsy. I saw him a few weeks afterward.; ; he was in a more emaciated con dition at that time than before. I inquired into the cause of his complaint, and he told me something. He was then perfectly sensible. I had not said any thing to him as to his chance of recovery. I made inquiries of him and ascertained that he had had a blow. I found a trifling swelling at the back part of the neck below the setting on of the head; that was the whole of the external appearance. The patient being under Mr. Hey's care, I did not particularly examine him. I saw no more of him till Tuesday last. I was visiting a patient at the Burmandtofts, and two women who were going about begging linen for him asked me if I would call and see him, and I called as I returned home at his father's house. I found him in a state of total insensibilily,and he was dying. His hands were cold. He was dreadfully ema ciated and sunk. I saw him no more He died the following morning. I have since his death e xamined him, in conjunction with Mr. Wil liam Hey. We did not open the body ; we exa- 's l • _ lc-5/ 9, 26, 1-6-"0 - rereeid / 1 - 4-6?-1 e .02 62 -774 ) them in the cabin, which v.-ffi lot water. UnrK's ge staryling that the vessel was on d r y l an d, h e as k e d . • C 7 -- s the Captain " how could that be ?" He replied that a sea had struck the vessel about eight o'clock, carried away the skylights, and filled the cabin with water. He then asked him if that was true, or es, whether he was mad. The Captain coolly replie that it was true; the ladies were drowned. He then asked him if he had made any attempt to recover them. The Captain said " No, it was of no use; they had been dead nearly four hours." He ob served to him (the Captain) that it appeared, from his own statement, that it was impossible ; for he had been up some time, and it was now half-past 11 o'clock only. The Captain observed that he supposed what was meant by the word re cover, was whether any person attempted to rescue t hem : he said that no such attempt could be made, far when the accident occurred no sailor could stand on the deck. He replied, how could he know that, when no attempt was made to do so ? He (the witness) then said to the captain, " It appears that the ladies were drowned at eight o'clock, and no attempt was made to rescue them; and you and your rrew coolly come on shore without even inquiring whether they were dead or not; is that true ? ' The captain said " It is too true; I have already told you the ladies are drowned." He then, under great excitement, exclaimed, " Was it possible that such a brute could exist in the shape of a British sea- man ?" He (witness) then mounted his horse arid rode towards the beach, but returned to ask the captain to whom he had given charge of the vessel; he replied that he had given it to a Mr. Green. He asked him if he was one of the coast guard. He (the captain) replied " Yes." He then went im mediately to the beach, where he observed a waggon just moving from the vessel. He inquired if it con tained the bodies :he was informed that it did. He bserved about 100 persons on board. He asked what they were doing, aad was told that they were saving the cargo. He said that it appeared that there was very little sympathy for the sufferers. He turned round his horse to observe the state of the vessel. He did so, and then inquired had all the bodies been taken out, and he was informed that they had. He asked how many, and was told there were 10. He then said "Is this what the fellow calls a few ?" The man replied, that if they had only battened down the skylights, they would have been all alive. He had previously given instructions for the reception of the bodies in the church. He then went to the captain, and told him that, so far from his ship being protected, it was being plundered. The captain replied that he had given it up, and had nothing further to do with it. He told him that he thought he should be held re. sponsible for the loss of any property. The mate heard the observation, and said how could the crew go down without clothes. He replied that he would procure him (the mate) clothes, which he did, and he believed that he went down to the vessel to assist the coat-guard in protecting the property on board. He then went to the church, and finding that they were all females, ordered some linen to be procured, which being done, he placed his clerk at the door with strict injunctions to prevent the en trance of any person. He told the women who were about the bodies that he expected the strictest honesty, and that the smallest trifle they found on any of-the bodies must be brought to him, and they should he rewarded. He was then informed that they had been already stripped and searched. The women then proceeded to do what was necessary, which occupied them till nearly 5 o'clock. At this period he entered the church, and one of the women informed him that the body of the little boy (Master Retch) was quite warm. He put his lewd upon his cheek, and found it so. He felt the other bodies, and they were also warm. How deep was the re gie he then felt that an attempt had not been made in the first instant to rec over the bodies statutes, and that means of reanimatian had not been tried! At this petit' Mr. Reeve and Mr.B esker entered the church, tied having looked at the bodie-, Mr. Reeve told witness that he had found a reticule, which he opened, arid took from it a letter which was addressed to " Mrs. William Pyne, St. George's -terrace, Bays water." He observed that was a good clue to find out the relatives of the unfortunate sufferers. (The Rev. Gentleman then went on to state the manner he adopted to apprise the relatives of this 1 rmentable occurrence.) He then went to the Ship Inn, in the yard of which, amongst other things, he perceived a green bag, which he opened, and found to contain a mahogany writing-desk, with the name of Captain M Queen upon it. He, in the presence of Mr. Horsburg (a passenger), and another gentleman, opened the desk to find out to whom, it belonged, and on examination he ascertained that it belonged to Mrs. Pyne, Captain M'Queen being her first hus band. He then went in search of the Captain of the Wenwss, and was informed that he had gone to Docking to the Rev. Mr. Hare, the Magistrate. He subsequently saw him in the afternoon of that day, and stated to him how insecure he considered the luggage of the passengers to he. The Captain re plied that he had appointed a Mr. Mingay as an agent, and he had nothing further to do with it, To show him (the Captain) how insecure the property was, he (the witness) told him he had taken a writing-desk from the yard of the Inn without any person's knowledge, and he felt it his duty to apply to the i\lsgistrates upon the subject, upon which he (the Captain) said he would take them to Mr. Srms's storehouse, over which Mr. Mingay had appointed one of the coast-guard. He (the witness) r, plied that be felt that he and the crew conducted themselves with great neglect,and the matter would doubtless undergo an investigation. This was on Monday, the 2,1 of September. On Tuesday, the 3d of September, the Coroner came to hold the inquest. He (the Coroner) wished the bodies to be publicly viewed, to which he objected. The Coroner's Jury were permitted to view them. He was not examined as a witness. He understood that a Mr. M‘Naughten, agent to the Leith Company, had arrived. He (witness) went over to see him. He found him in conversation with the Captain's mate and steward, and from some words he overheard, he was induced to form an opinion that they were concocting a case. The words he overheat(' were (though he could not fix them on any particular person of the three)—" You must mind and stick I to that." He immediately called the Coroner out, cud told him from what he had heard he was satis fied that he ought to give those gentlemen a severe And separate examination. He had previously said to the Coroner that he thought it was a pity that , he inquest was to be held so soon. He oh served that he thought there ought to be some person on the part of the relatives present. The Co lones replied that he understood that Mr. Ha milton had arrived. He (witness) replied that he had, but that he was not in a fit state of mind to examine persons who would naturally put the best face on the matter. The Coroner then went into the Jury-room. Witness then had a conversation with the Captain (Nesbit), who told him that it would be a convenience to him to go down to the vessel with Mr. M•Naughten. Witness observed that he thought Mr. Mingay's going would answer as well. He (the Captain) then informed him that he had not been to the vessel since the occurrence. Witness said to him, "Is it possible that it is the first time since Sunday ? or do you mean to say that you have not been to your vessel since the accident ?" The Captain replied, that he had been indisposed. He expressed his surprise at that, for he had been at Docking since the accident, and ap peared to be in good health. In consequence of something he had heard he questioned him as to the state of his sails ; he (the Captthaeins)ks)allidghtot:, him, " they were not seaworthy, andlsusifeyrifiogril ing He (witness) asked him it he was nothing e Captain to do it r ‘ e v p it h h e . d hart badness of them when he left London ?
